Start with the Lord of the Rings

"Whoa whoa whoa."

The majestic rain splashed the sky with mist, covering the whole world.

The sky was getting darker.

At the foot of a big black cliff.

The fire is dim.

Morgan watched the rain by sitting on a boulder.

In order to better capture the butterflies and dragonflies flying around hiding from the rain, the little dragon Siglia lay on the shoulders of her old father Morgan at this time.

In front of the carriage not far away.

The two horses, who were briefly unshackled, chewed on the horse material, and from time to time you rubbed me and I rubbed you.

rear.

The little slave girl Aphra was busy with dinner.

From a distance, it looks like a warm picture drawn by an artist.

The rain outside the stone wall is getting heavier and heavier.

It doesn't look like it's going to stop at all.

Inside the stone wall.

After Afra got busy.

The tantalizing aroma of food is quickly released from the boiling pot.

"Sir, it's time to eat."

With Aphra a word.

Morgan and the young dragon Siglia quickly sat down in front of the bonfire.

After Aphra filled Morgan with a bowl of mutton and carrot soup, she filled a small bowl for Little Siglia before finally picking up her own bowl and serving it up.

since a few days ago.

After Morgan ran out of raw meat bought at the Free Cities Tavern in Norvos.

He began to try to let the little dragon Siglia eat cooked food, the same cooked food as he ate.

Although the little guy was very reluctant at first.

But it couldn't survive the insistence of the old father.

Had to start eating cooked food.

At first, Siglia was not used to it.

But after eating it a few times, Little Siglia got used to the watery soup taste of salt and spices from cooked food.

The little guy has now shared a pot of food with his father, Morgan Aphra, and has no other privileges.

Morgan doesn't have to carry a bow and arrow all day long and shoot at every sight.

Just as Morgan took Aphra, the young dragon Siglia and two horses leisurely sheltering from the rain at the foot of the desolate black cliff, enjoying a quiet dinner.

Far away in Westeros.

King's Landing.

Inside the Red Fort.

The court situation has changed.

from a few days ago.

King Robert Baratheon was seriously injured by a wild boar when he was out hunting.

The situation in the entire Red Fort became undercurrent.

Not long after, when King Robert. Robert Baratheon I died of serious injuries.

Inside the Red Castle.

The tense situation suddenly became extremely serious and tense.

Because everyone knows the Lannister family behind Queen Cersei Lannister, and the Star where Ed Stark is the last writer of the king's will. The Ke family relationship is very tense.

About half a month ago.

The Kingsguard's Jaime Lannister led his troops to besiege Eddard Stark, but was still suppressed by the king.

There is no repression by the king now.

The next battle between the two families, or even a war, is very likely.

Just when the upper-class nobles who knew the inside story in Jun's Landing were quietly waiting for the development of the matter.

It didn't take long.

A series of major events burst out from the Red Fort palace one after another.

First of all, Minister of Justice Renly Baratheon left King's Landing with "Knight of Hundred Flowers" Loras Tyrell in an emergency. No one knew where the youngest brother of King Robert went.

Immediately afterwards, another even more amazing thing exploded from the Red Fort.

The current "Prime Minister" Eddard Stark, who has always been well-known in the eyes of the common people of Westeros, was arrested and imprisoned on charges of treason.

Then, Prince Joffrey Baratheon succeeded to the throne;

Lord of Casterly Rock, guardian of the West, Tywin Lannister became the new "Prime Minister";

The captain of the Kingsguard "Ser Barristan Selmy" was dismissed from the position of captain of the Kingsguard and replaced by "Kingslayer" Jaime Lannister;

King's Landing City Guard Captain Genos Slint is loyal to the Lord. He was promoted to noble by His Majesty King Joffrey Baratheon.

in a short period of time.

One after another, major events that shook the Seven Kingdoms continued to spread out from the Red Fort.

The entire King's Landing soon fell into a boil.

After all, whether it is the well-known Eddard Stark accused of treason, or the death of the former King Robert Baratheon, or the succession of the new King Joffrey Baratheon and the new Prime Minister for Kai Lord Tywin Lannister of Rock City.

It really makes everyone in King's Landing, and even the entire Westeros continent, have something to talk about in the next few months.

Deep in the Red Fort.

underground area.

Inside the dark and cold cell.

Except for the occasional passing guards patrolling with torches, which can briefly illuminate the darkness.

Most of the time the entire underground cell was in a pitch-dark environment where you could not see your fingers.

at this time.

In a very quiet underground cell.

in a spacious prison cell.

A unkempt figure was sitting against the wall, motionless.

At this time.

A torch illuminated the dark space.

The brightness brought by the bright yellow fire immediately makes the eyes of people who have been in darkness for a long time feel uncomfortable and dazzling.

The figure sitting against the wall immediately stretched out his hand to block his eyes.

The patrolling soldiers have just left.

No other patrolling fighters will appear for a short time.

"Who will it be?"

The figure sitting against the wall immediately thought to himself.

It didn't take long.

In the shadows, a figure holding a torch appeared in front of the cell sitting against the wall.

"Lord Stark, we meet again."

Wearing a gray robe, with a bald head and delicate skin on his face, a bald figure without a beard stood in front of the cell and said.

Yes, at this time, his feet were locked by iron chains, and he was locked in a cold cell.

It was the tall former Prime Minister, Eddard Stark of the Duke of Winterfell.

"Varys, here you are again."

Eddard Stark looked up at the bald man standing in front of him, and said weakly.

Varys: Nicknamed "Spider", the "intelligence chief" in front of the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, also known as the kingdom's "spy chief".

Ever since Eddard Stark was locked in this cell.

within a few days.

Varys has been here twice.

Plus today is the third time.

"Looks like you're my last friend."

Eddard Stark said with tired eyes.

"No, you are still well-loved"

"I wanted to tell your lord that this morning, Sansa pleaded with His Majesty for you in front of the Iron Throne."

Varys looked directly at Eddard Stark and said, reaching out and passing the wine bag in his hand.

Eddard Stark took the wine bag that Varys handed over, raised his hand and took a gulp.

After a sip.

Eddard Stark finally recovered a little bit of energy, wiped the wine stains from his mouth and said directly: "Kneel down and plead for me?"

"Then you must laugh at her with those people."

"no no"

Varys shook his head quickly and explained, "My lord, you misunderstood me."

"It's me who don't want you to die the most."

Hear what Varys said.

Eddard Stark laughed at himself, then took another sip of wine and shook his head: "I don't know what you want, and I don't want to guess anymore."

Varys was silent for a while.

He said again, "Sir, let me tell you a story."

"When I was young, that was when I was not a eunuch."

"I went around with a group of performers, and they told me that everyone should have their role and must be true to their role."

It's just that Eddard Stark at this time was not interested in listening to a eunuch talk about his boring history, so he immediately said: "Enough!"

"Don't make up stories, don't play dumb riddles, tell me directly, why did you come to see me several times?"

Eddard Stark stared at Varys and asked directly.

This has already been said.

Varys immediately said the purpose of his coming here: "Peace."

"I want peace!"

"I don't know if you know, sir."

"Your son is heading south with a great northern army"

"A young warrior fighting for his father's freedom should be commendable, but it should not have happened at this time."

"However, what worries Cersei the most is the dead king's younger brother, Lord Stannis. He is not only the most qualified to inherit the throne, but also his ability to command battles is also seen by everyone, and he is well versed in tactics. Dao will be the most difficult opponent."

Varys continued.

Eddard Stark could no longer listen to this, and interrupted again coldly: "Stannis Baratheon is Robert's most legitimate heir, and the throne should belong to him!"

The voice fell.

Varys looked stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said: "Sansa is so interceding for the lord, if the lord does not cherish it, it will be a pity."

"Cersei is not stupid, she knows that tame wolves are more valuable than dead wolves."

Vari continued to speak, only to be interrupted again by Eddard Stark's cold voice, and said angrily, "You want me to swear allegiance to a woman who murdered the king, killed my warrior, and maimed and maimed my son?"

"I just want your allegiance to this kingdom!"

Varys was also angry and continued: "You just need to tell the queen that you are willing to admit treason; then let your children lay down their weapons; and finally support Joffrey as king!"

"Cersei really believes in the promise of your lord, as long as you give her the peace you want, and take her secrets with you until you die, I believe she will be willing to let you put on black and go to the Great Wall of Despair, with your brother and illegitimate child. Live a life of ease."

heard here.

Eddard Stark smiled.

"Do you think I will begrudge my life at this time?"

"Do you think I'll put down my honor and just live a few years?"

"What's the point of living then?"

"You grew up with the actor, learned to act, and you still master it very well."

"But I grew up with soldiers."

"Long time ago, I learned how to face death"

Eddard Stark finished speaking to himself and stopped talking.

Varys was silent.

a long time.

Varys got up and left.

The moment he just sold his footsteps, he stopped and turned to look at the figure in the dark, and suddenly said, "What about your daughter, sir?"

"Does her life matter to you?"

Varys walked straight forward without waiting for an answer.

behind in the dark.

Eddard Stark clenched his fist tightly.

of two daughters.

He wasn't so worried about Arya.

Because Arya's swordsmanship from Morgan is very good, he has personally checked it.

As for Sansa

Thinking of Sansa, Eddard Stark couldn't help sighing.

"I don't know if they found Morgan or not"

Thinking of Morgan, Eddard Stark immediately remembered that the day before he was arrested, he had already sent someone to look for Morgan who disappeared.

"If Morgan was there, he would be able to protect the safety of the two children."

"If only Morgan could be found."

At this moment, Eddard Stark missed Morgan immensely.

Essos Continent.

Black Big Cliff Canyon.

After a night of torrential rain.

The next day was a sunny day, and the sky was exceptionally blue and clean.

Early in the morning.

After eating breakfast, Morgan continued on the road with Aphra and the little dragon Siglia.

This long-distance trip has already covered most of the time.

The rest of the journey is not far away.

"Sir, let me come"

As soon as Morgan got into the driver's seat, Aphra's voice came from beside him.

since this time.

Although Aphra was sitting in the driving position most of the time.

But in order to prevent the little slave girl from getting too tired, Morgan would also take the reins and drive by himself from time to time.

That was the case the other day.

Morgan turned his head and saw that Aphra was in high spirits, her face rosy and tender and satisfied.

Knowing that I had fed her last night, she was well nourished.

He nodded immediately and handed the reins to Aphra.

He sat beside the large driver's seat, took out his oak pipe and started smoking.

Aphra sat in the driver's seat and skillfully pulled the reins in her hands.

The two horses immediately sped up and galloped toward the road ahead.

Two days later.

Morgan finally reached the edge of Slaver's Bay and saw the famous Slave's Bay: a blue sea.

Check the map.

Morgan knew that the end of the coast on the opposite side of where he was now was the end of his current destination: "Astapor".

But such a wild coast has no docks and no boats.

So Morgan takes a big detour.

He needed to go all the way east along the coast of Slaver's Bay.

As long as the route is good, he will encounter "Meereen", which is located in one of the three major cities of Slaver's Bay.

Then there is Yunkai, one of the three major cities.

Finally, "Astapo", which is also one of the three main cities, is also the destination of Morgan's journey.

eight days later.

Morgan's carriage left the "Norvos Free Trade City" nearly two months later.

Finally reached "Meereen".

"Meereen" is the largest of the three slave cities in Slaver's Bay.

The number of inhabitants is the combined population of Yunkai and Astapor.

It is very close to Astapor.

Morgan only had a brief day off in Meereen.

After replenishing dry food and drinks, we continued our journey the next day.

The city "Yunkai'i" is not too far from "Meereen".

six days later.

Morgan arrives at Yunkai, the second slave city in Slaver's Bay.

same.

A short stopover in Yunkai for a day.

Morgan set off again.

Day 11 away from Yunkai.

It was also the fourth and a half months after Morgan left King's Landing in Westeros and set foot on the Narrow Sea.

Morgan finally arrives at Astapor, world-famous for being a warrior of the Unsullied.
