Chapter 0794 - Clever Tongue Littlefinger Water Dance Arya
Lord Petyr Berish. "I know what I'm capable of, and I know who I am...... You came here to persuade me not to inherit the throne, not to be king, is this your idea alone, or the opinion of the generals of the Clegon Legion?"
"No, you're wrong, Gendry, I'm not asking you to refuse the throne, on the contrary, I want you to accept Lord Magic Mountain's offer to sit on the Iron Throne. β
Gendry was stunned: "............"
Littlefinger smiled narrowly, which gave Gendry a very uncomfortable feeling: "Gendry, I just arrived in King's Landing, and the first person to come to see you is you. I haven't entered the Red Keep to meet Lord Magic Mountain, this matter is my own advice after careful consideration, none of the generals of the Clegon Legion know, let alone Lord Magic Mountain. β
My father doesn't know?
Gendry's heart suddenly moved.
Gendry doesn't have a good impression of a man like Littlefinger, but he can't talk about a bad feeling either.
So Littlefinger immediately ran to him dryly after entering King's Landing to give advice to the Iron Throne, is Father really unaware or fake unaware?
Gendry can't tell if it's real or fake!
A faint sneer of Littlefinger's contempt hung on the corners of his mouth, and he could see Gendry's confusion: "Gendry, what is the most important thing for a farmer to do?"
Gendry glared at Littlefinger: "............"
"The most important thing for a farmer to do is to farm the land, the most important thing for a fisherman to do is to fish, the blacksmith to make iron, the winemaker to make wine, the soldier to fight, the general to set up a formation, the dragon to fly in the sky, the sea monster to dominate the sea, the ant to the ground, the bee to the flower house, this world, whether it is a person or an animal, in their own position can everything be peaceful, peaceful and long-lasting, if the blacksmith goes to make wine, the soldier goes to set up the formation, the general goes to farm, the dragon is in the sea, the sea monster is in the sky, the world will be in chaos, the lord will be killed by the people, the country will be subverted by the usurperγ β
Gendry's breathing became rapid: "............"
"Gendry, listen to my advice to you, you will be rich and glorious for the rest of your life, and your children and grandchildren will also have the right to inherit a huge territory. β
β............β
"If you accept my advice, you will become the Duke of Storm's End, and gain the allegiance of the nobles and people of the Stormlands, Margaery Tyrell is of unparalleled beauty, a lady of a true noble family, married to three kings: Ranley Baratheon, Joffrey I, Tomman I, I presume she is still a virgin, and I can protect you from marrying a great noble woman like Margaery Tyrrell. β
"I'm not going to marry Margaery Tyrrell. Gendry shouted, his face flushed. The lad felt humiliated.
Littlefinger smiled: "Okay, so what do you want about the title of Lord of Storm's Rest and the territory of Stormlands?"
"Lord Petyr, it seems that you said you wanted me to sit on the Iron Throne. β
"Yes, as I said, when you are elected king by the Magic Mountain at the Imperial Ministers' Council, you must not refuse, you must sit on the Iron Throne, and then, as the king, you declare that you will give up the position of king to your father, Lord Magic Mountain. β
β............β
"Come, Sir Gendry, pour your wine and listen as I tell you the key slowly. Littlefinger smiled and walked over to the candle and turned the flame brighter.

In autumn, the north is already freezing cold, but the sun is still warm in King's Landing in the south.
It was a peaceful day.
Red Castle, outside the bronze gate, came a girl wearing chain mail and a narrow sword at her waist.
The girl has maroon hair, blue eyes, delicate facial features, and fair skin.
The girl spoke an authentic Westeros language, with a faint northerner accent.
"Soldier, I want to see Lord Gregor Clegane. β
The bronze gate was closed, and on each side of the gate were four golden-robed guards with swords.
The guards laughed. They saw two narrow swords at the girl's waist, two narrow swords as thin as if they would be broken when the wind blew.
The narrow sword was popular in Braavos on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and was popular with wandering swordsmen who would draw their swords in the streets if they didn't agree with each other, but in Westeros, soldiers and generals used swords that were generous to make it easier to slash when charging on the battlefield. And if the sword is too thin, the chop will easily break, and the power will not be enough.
The difference between Westeros' sword and Braavos' narrow sword is too great.
The squires who were the sword-wielding swords of Westeros looked down on the swordsmen who wielded the narrow swords on the other side of the Narrow Sea. The sword, as small as a toothpicking stick, was too light.
The guard at the head smiled and said, "Little girl, where are you from?"
"I'm Arya Stark from the North. The girl was unhurried.
"Stark?" The frivolity and banter on the soldiers' faces faded away.
"Yes, Arya Stark, Lord Gregor Cregan is a good friend of mine. β
These words were a bit loud in the ears of the golden-robed guards.
If Lord Eddard Stark had said such a thing, the guards would not have doubted it.
But, this girl calls herself Stark!
Stark's last name, the Golden Robes, is known to everyone.
"Wait a minute. The head guard said.
The Devil Mountain led the coalition army north to fight the Strangers, and had a good relationship with the Stark family. House Clegane and House Stark are already allies. Now that Cersei has been thrown into the black prison for treason, her henchmen have surrendered to the Magic Mountain within a day, and those who are unwilling to surrender have also given up their official positions and chose to leave King's Landing and return to their hometown. For example, the golden-robed commander Sir Benronte Blonn. Ben Lunt was the head of the cavalry of Duke Tywin Lannister's 500 Guards.
Now the position of commander of the King's Landing garrison is vacant.
The Red Keep is huge, and it takes time to find Lord Magic Mountain to make a visitor report.
The girl stopped the guard, "Soldier, can I go in with you?"
"Are you sure you're Arya Stark?"
"I'm pretty sure. β
"Okay, you come with me. The captain of the guard team gestured, and the bronze door slowly opened, revealing a gap that only allowed one person to enter sideways.
Arya Stark and the captain of the guard team walked into the Red Keep.
In the Stone House area, where the courtiers lived, Arya Stark met the Magic Mountain.
Behind the Magic Mountain, there stood a group of famous generals, including Captain Erin from the North, Joyce Foca, a young patriarch from the Foca tribe of the Crab Claw Peninsula, One-Eyed Charm from the Native tribe of the Bright Moon Mountains, Anga Klegane, who became the son-in-law of Fountain Town from the Dorne Frontier, the leader of the Cregan Infantry Legion, the head of the Clegon Infantry Legion, the general of the law enforcement team, Rolger, the general of Daenerys, the general Dario, and the two leaders of the Dragon Hunting Crossbow Barracks: Gendry Clegane and Master Tob Mott......
In addition, the Magic Mountain is accompanied by personal guards - Podrick Pine from House Pine of the West, personal guards - Com Warner, a young patriarch from the Kom tribe of the Crab Claw Peninsula, and personal guards - Langdon Garr, who married Yasina Royce, the Countess of Ruepstone......
In addition to a large number of famous generals, there were two contrasting women: the beautiful and seductive red-robed priestess Melisandre, who was radiant and radiant, and the gloomy and silent black-robed blood witch Dorti Quintina, whose teeth were black.
In addition, there is a secretary of the Cregan Legion: Jon Clinton.
After receiving the raven information of the 'coup' in King's Landing, the generals and priests of the Clegon Legion in the Magic Mountain rushed to King's Landing on their horses, while a large number of soldiers who could only walk were still on the way.

"Lord Magic Mountain. Arya Stark said, "We met again in the year 298 of Aegon after Harrenhal's farewell. β
"Arya?!" Magic Mountain said in surprise.
"Yes, I am, I'm not dead. "Arya has a straight body, a narrow sword at her waist, a cold face, and an extraordinary bearing.
"Arya, where have you been all these years since you left Harrenhal?"
"I went to Braavos to learn the Sword of the Water Dance, and now I'm a wandering swordsman. β
"Oh?!"
Swordsman?!A Girl?Arya Stark?The generals and guards behind the Magic Mountain let out a chuckle.
The word swordsman was said by the girl seriously, and she didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick.
"Lord Magic Mountain, I am heartbroken by the great deeds of you leading the Southern Alliance to Winterfell to help Stark defeat the Wraiths, you killed the Night King, saved the entire North and Westeros, I hope to pay tribute to you on behalf of the Stark family, I don't want military salary, I am willing to be your personal guard for a month, and guard your safety day and night. Please allow me to leave you freely for the North in one month's time. β
"A month?"
The generals and guards couldn't help but laugh.
Miss Stark's speech is getting more and more interesting. Does Lord Demon Mountain need her sword to protect it?
"Yes, a month later, the continent of Westeros has entered the bitter winter, and Daenerys Targaryen's threat has been lifted. However, the Stark family has a favor in return, so I will no longer be your bodyguard, and I will defend you whenever you have a tricky threat, let me know. β
The generals and guards who were in a relaxed mood to watch the show couldn't believe their ears anymore, and the tone of this little Stark girl was getting bigger and bigger!
Lord Magic Mountain is in danger, will he send someone to ask her to protect a little girl?
That's what I said!
The Stark family was known for their virtues of humility and integrity, and this little girl went to Braavos for a few years, learned the water dance of the swordsman, and was so big that she didn't pay attention to General Clegane and the guards at all.
The demon mountain looked left and right, and the amusing smile on the faces of the generals gradually disappeared, and they became suspicious of each other, and they wondered if they had heard it wrong.
The little girl has two small narrow swords hanging from her waist, and she is serious and arrogant when she speaks!
Arya Stark said lightly: "Generals, I know that you don't look down on me at all, among you, who has the best swordsmanship?"
For a moment, no one answered Arya's words. Everyone didn't react for a while, what does this mean, the little girl called for a sword competition? Look at the body of her sword, if she slaps down, she will even be slapped into the dirt with a sword.
"No one dares to fight?" Arya said lightly, "Lord Duke Gregor Cregan, let me be one of your personal guards, and I will guard your safety for a month." β
"Try your swordsmanship first, Arya. A voice said suddenly.
Erin, the captain of the former guard of Lord Eddard Stark, stepped forward.
"Alright, Erin, let me see if your swordsmanship has improved. Arya said, clasping her hands behind her back.
Her waist was straight, and her body was like a sword.
Erin was a little overwhelmed: "Arya, you don't draw your sword?"
"I'll draw my sword. β
Erin looked at the Magic Mountain, and the Mountain nodded. So, with a choking sound, Erin drew his sword.
Two-handed broadsword.
The people of the north often use this kind of two-handed sword, which is power-based, wide open and closed, and mainly chopped. This kind of sword is mainly used for slashing in group battles and charges! A broadsword with a two-sided blade has an advantage over a broadsword.
Arya froze!
Erin raised his sword, fearing that he would split Arya in two with a single sword. He hesitated to draw his sword, which caused the brothers to laugh.
Suddenly, however, a small sword tip was pointed at his throat. Arya held the sword in one hand, and the other behind her back, like a maid dancing out, and a faint smile appeared on her grim face: "You're dead, Erin." β
The generals laughed.
"Oh!" said Erin, taking a step back suddenly, his great sword slamming into Arya's narrow sword, expecting to knock the child's thing flying. Who knew that he stumbled into the air, and before he could stabilize his body, Arya's narrow sword pointed at his lower abdomen again.
"Erin, your stomach is broken. β
The brothers laughed again.
Erin's face flushed, and he sneered, "Alright, Arya, I won't play with you." He put away his sword and retreated, pretending to leave, but suddenly kicked Arya's body. Arya rolled on the spot, dexterous as a cat, dodging the kick, half-kneeling up, the narrow sword in her hand slapped on Erin's leg, and made a snapping sound: "Erin, your leg has been pierced." β
Arya struck Erin's leg with the back of her sword, and if the sword had been used with the blade of the Valyrian steel sword, Lady Silence, Erin's leg would have been severed.
The sword Arya uses is a sewing needle, a narrow sword that Jon gave her. The Lady of Silence, given to her by the Magic Mountain, has been recast by Master Tob Mott, changing color and becoming narrower, and she will not use it on such occasions. Arya retouched the hilt of the Lady of Silence after obtaining the sword, so that even Master Tob Mott himself would not recognize it from the scabbard and hilt.
Valyrian Steel Sword Lady Silence, Arya only used it when she was an assassin to kill people. Generally speaking, only the dead will see the unsheath of her Lady of Emptiness.
Erling paused, his face embarrassed, and his expression was incredulous: "What a quick skill." β
Everyone in the audience felt the same way, and no one laughed anymore, and Arya's sudden reaction to dodge Erin was shocking to them.
Arya sewed the needle into the sheath, and her hands were behind her back: "Erin, your two-handed greatsword is too heavy, and speed is a disadvantage. Your sneak attack is just as sluggish. β
Erin: "............"
The Magic Mountain said, "Arya Stark, I'm going to the throne hall now, so come too." β
"Yes, Lord Duke. Arya walked over to the Magic Mountain, her gaze meeting Dario's.
Dario's right hand is a scimitar, while his left hand, he also wields a narrow sword. However, his narrow sword was still very wide compared to Arya's.
