Chapter 16: Learning the Sword

"Uncle Yolun said you wouldn't hurt me." Arya turned her head to look at Yulun, as if looking for off-the-field assistance.

In response to Arya's gaze, Yoren opened his mouth, but in the end he couldn't say anything - he couldn't understand the capricious creature now.

"Him?"

Lin Yi glanced at Yu Lun, then lowered his head, looked at Arya and said seriously.

"He's an idiot."

Arya: "......"

"It is better to count on the judgment of a fool than to ask the gods for their blessing."

"Bastard! Who do you say is a fool? ”

Yuren shouted in exasperation.

"Don't you understand? It's pitiful......" Lin Yi glanced at him with pity, "Then I'll explain, a person who can get drunk defenselessly in front of strangers is a fool." ”

"I'm ......," Yuren was speechless.

He sighed, still without an explanation.

Lin Yi actually knew that Yu Lun didn't really trust him enough to get drunk without warning.

He just felt that being drunk under such a good bottle of wine was more important than his rotten life or death.

But it was impossible for Yuren to say such a thing in front of Arya, so the mute was up to him.

"You're right, I should judge for myself, anyway, you killed Joffrey, so I want to be grateful to you."

Arya seemed to have figured out something, and let out a sigh of relief.

"But I didn't kill Joffrey for you, it's my business, it's none of your business."

"That gratitude is also my business, and it has nothing to do with you."

Arya retorted, and then asked quickly without waiting for Lin Yi to finish.

"So why did you kill Joffrey?"

Lin Yi smiled, this was the first time she jumped out of her own rhythm and tried to grasp the initiative.

Although it was a little jerky, Lin Yi still cooperated with satisfaction.

"I just wanted to avenge a friend of mine, and now that the revenge is over, I'm going to start doing my own thing."

"What are you going to do?" Arya asked.

"I'm going to the Great Wall."

Lin Yi straightened up and looked to the north, his eyes deep.

"There's something there that shouldn't wake up."

"Is it a ghost?"

Arya asks curiously, children always believe in myths and legends more than adults.

"It's annoying for a child to ask so much." Lin Yidao.

But Arya didn't care: "I have a brother who is there too. ”

"It's the bastard."

"That's my brother too!"

Looking at Arya, who was frowning, Lin Yi smiled.

"What a lovely kid."

He held out his hand.

"My name is Yi Lin, and I'm going to be with you for the next period of time."

"My name is Arya, Arya Stark."

She didn't stretch out her hand, just tilted her head and looked at him earnestly.

Lin Yi didn't care, and said with a smile: "Like you, I also hate Lannister, so don't worry about me hurting you in the next journey." Not only that, but I will also ensure that the team can travel smoothly so that they can reach the Great Wall of Desperation without any problems. ”

As he spoke, Lin Yi wanted to pat Arya's head.

But this time Arya dodged it.

"Be vigilant." She said.

"Okay." Lin Yi smiled, "Okay, let's go out, staying in the woods for too long will arouse suspicion." ”

Arya nodded, and walked a little staggering towards the woods.

"What do you want to do to her." Yuren asked with a frown.

"Even a child is aware of it, don't you know?"

Lin Yi glanced at him.

The wrinkles on Yuren's forehead deepened.

"Looks like you really don't get it...... Seriously, I sometimes admire your luck for being able to travel around the Seven Kingdoms for many years and still be alive. ”

“……”

Lin Yi turned his head to look at Youlun, who was full of black lines, and said with a smile.

"Rest assured, at least one thing is beyond doubt - if I wanted to do you badly, you would have died long ago."

"So what the hell do you want to do?"

Lin Yi turned around with his hands behind his back, looked at Arya's somewhat crooked thin back, and said softly.

"I just like this kid very much and want to teach her how to swords."

……

……

At night, Lin Yi crossed his knees and closed his eyes, sitting on a stone by the river, ten meters away from the camp.

A slender wooden stick flipped aimlessly over the bonfire, and there was a crackling sound between the tongues of fire.

"Can't sleep?"

Yoren took the flask and sat down on the opposite side of the campfire.

Arya glanced up at him, then lowered her head again.

"Go to bed early, there's still a long way to go tomorrow......"

"Did he sit and sleep like this all the time?" Arya asked suddenly.

Hearing this, Yu Lun glanced at Lin Yi over there.

"I don't know – he's gone every evening and comes back at dawn."

"......" Arya looked up at him, "Do you know what Yi Chen means?" ”

Hearing this, Yu Lun drank for a moment, then took it aside and looked at her in surprise.

"Don't you already know?"

"I don't know." Arya shook her head.

"But he said you guessed."

Arya's eyes lit up when she heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

"I guessed a little, but I can't be sure...... As Yi said, we are not related to each other. ”

Yulun found himself as a microphone, and he reluctantly took a sip of wine and spoke.

"Well, he said he likes you very much and wants to teach you how to sword...... Do you want to learn? ”

"Of course!" Arya looked delighted, but then asked with some hesitation, "But isn't he a wizard?" ”

"He's a good swordsman......"

Yuren wanted to take a sip of the wine, but before he could reach his mouth, he saw Arya's slightly suspicious gaze.

So Yuren added again angrily.

This quote comes from a brother of the Night's Watch...... Although I may not be as smart as the aristocratic daughter of you, believe me, I have drunk more wine than you have ever eaten in your life......"

"Hehe, I didn't doubt you." Arya was a little embarrassed.

"You told me I wanted to find him, and now you've got it, but you'd better really just learn the sword from him, and don't touch things that even I find creepy."

"Demons? Or is it a ghost? Arya asked with a calm face.

"It's better not to do neither." Yoren shook his head, "The wizarding world is too far away from us, and if I could, I wouldn't want to step into it for the rest of my life." ”

"But I'm going to take revenge."

"Then learn the sword well, believe me, that guy's swordsmanship is so high that I have only seen it in my life, this is a very rare opportunity, seize it, lucky boy."

Yuren picked up the flask and said lazily.

"A lucky child would watch his father be beheaded?"

Arya snorted.

Yulun's hand froze.

"I'm sorry, kid." Yu Lun said with a wry smile.

"It's okay," Arya shook her head, "I'm going to get used to this reality." ”

In order not to be easily defeated by the words of the enemy......

Hearing this, Yulun looked at Arya's resolute little face in a daze.

O gods, she's only nine years old!

"Want to know why I'm dressed in black?" Yolun said suddenly.
