Chapter Twenty-Four: The Court Swordsman

Lin Xuan ignored the frightened crowd and just spoke to Tyrion.

"See? Tyrion. Bloodline, origin, power don't matter, if you can't turn it into power. Well, they don't make you live longer. For us, there are only two things that are truest of all. Wisdom and strength. You've got a lot of wisdom, Tyrion, find a way to turn it into power. I'll be back when you're in control of your own destiny. ”

After Lin Xuan finished speaking, he turned around and walked outside. Nearly a hundred knights gathered outside, but when Lin Xuan walked out, everyone got out of the way. The city lord of Erin wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth to find a terrifying question. She couldn't make a sound. She was able to open her mouth, but no sound came out of her mouth. The variant of the Silent Curse, Lin Xuan silently remained on the body of the City Lord of Ailin.

She tore at her mouth in horror, as if she would be able to make a sound. However, in the end, it turned out to be all in vain. Unless there was another real mage who analyzed Lin Xuan's unique spell casting technique, or Lin Xuan personally unraveled it for him. Otherwise, she won't be able to make a sound for the rest of her life.

"Do you have any questions? Lady Arryn? If not, I'm leaving. The city lord opened his mouth in vain, but no sound came out.

"Is that okay? Good, then goodbye. ”

Word of what had happened in the Eagle's Nest soon spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms. In King's Landing, the old eunuch Varys had already gotten the news as soon as possible. "A real mage has appeared, not the kind of wizard who needs all sorts of disgusting animal or human organ sacrifices. is a true mage. With a wave of his hand, he could kill a dozen heavily armed knights. ”

As the head of Imperial intelligence, Varys had a painful childhood. A wizard caught him, cut off his genitals, and threw him into the fire, once in conversation with an unknown being. Varys saw the whole process with his own eyes, so he knew that there was a supernatural force in this world.

"Use all the little birds, I want to know the mage's whereabouts. But remember not to approach him, or alarm him. "Someone in the darkness took the command. Varys was lost in thought again, his face darkened in the firelight.

Tyrion, the little devil, walked out of the Eagle's Nest safely. Between Lin Xuan's strong deterrence before, no one dared to try to stop him. Byron followed him as in the original plot. Only this time Tyrion was not in a hurry to go back, he wandered down the mountain for a long time and finally made a bold decision.

"Let's go up the mountain."

"What? We've just come down from the mountains. ”

"Not the mountain." Tyrion looked at the other.

"You're crazy, it's the land of the barbarians. They attacked us on the way here. They'll roast us and eat it. Maybe it won't be cooked. ”

"The barbarians are poor, they lack food, weapons, and almost everything. That's why they robbed. What if they no longer lack these? I'm a Lannister, and I have a lot of gold. So all of the above issues are not a problem for me. I will never inherit Kaiyan City, let alone sit in the position of Prime Minister. But if I have an army in my hands, the guys who are on top of me will have to listen to me carefully. ”

"You're a madman."

"No, I'm going to change my fate. I've seen all the diplomatic cases of the Empire, and I've always felt like I would have done better if it were me. Now it's time to put it into practice. ”

In King's Landing, Varys has just received the news. The mage had arrived in King's Landing. This made him start to feel that something was wrong. At this time, King's Landing was brewing a huge storm. King Robert is dead, and the throne hangs in the balance. But there is no doubt that nothing can stop Joffrey from taking the throne. Ned Stark was sent to prison. Facing prosecution for treason.

This is a battle for imperial power, and the Starks are already at an absolute disadvantage. He sympathized with Ned Stark, but decided to save his life anyway. Even with his resourcefulness, he doesn't see any possibility of a turnaround.

But this is no longer the case, a powerful mage has arrived in King's Landing. He undoubtedly has what it takes to get into the game. Although the mage seemed to have a different view of Tyrion, it seemed to him that Tyrion could not take the Lannister with him at all. In other words, the position of this mage is not yet clear.

Arya Stark, along with her sister Sasan, came to King's Landing with her father. The elder sister is bent on marrying the king and becoming the queen, while the younger sister is more interested in swordsmanship. Fortunately, my father was the former prime minister, and he immediately invited the first court royal swordsmanship master to teach Arya. Celio, Freel, has been a court swordsman for many years. He is also an agile swordsman with a style that suits Arya very well.

Arya has a lot of respect for her teacher and completes all her assignments perfectly. It's just that she doesn't know that a catastrophe has struck her. The Lannisters have already arrested Duke Ned as soon as possible. In order to prevent trouble, a team has already come to arrest Arya and his sister.

At court, Marin confronts Silio and Freel. As the Kingsguard, Marin has never taken Silio and Friel seriously. In his opinion, what threat can a court swordsman who can only show off be there?

It wasn't until Celio, Freel, who knocked out four business knights with a wooden sword. Marin guessed and began to get serious. It's just that everyone didn't notice that there was a guy who didn't belong here at all, and was watching the duel for a long time.

Who exactly Celio and Freel were was much discussed in later generations. One of the theories is that he is actually Jia Kun, the leader of the Facelings. From the very beginning, he chose Arya. Everything that followed was a test for Arya.

Lin Xuan used some small tricks to conceal his figure, and most of the people present were unable to spot his traces. But Lin Xuan noticed that Silio and Freel had secretly glanced in his direction as soon as he arrived. It was obvious that he had long been aware of Lin Xuan's existence.

Under the cover of Celio and Freel, Arya managed to escape from the palace. And Silio, Friel, fell under Marin's sword. The knights left quickly, they needed to chase Arya, and there was no time to deal with the 'corpses' on the ground. This is Lin Xuan slowly revealing his figure.

A flame ignited in his hand. "If I burn your body now, will you still be able to live?"
