Chapter 21: The Last Night in the North
Jon eventually agreed to Aven and traveled with him to King's Landing. His position is Aven's staff officer! Affiliated with Evan and not belonging to Ed.
Bastard, the status of a dwarf on this continent. Ed didn't dare to be too nice to Jon for some reason, and Catherine had a very bad attitude towards Jon because of Ed's "betrayal".
Perhaps he didn't want to go to the Wall of Despair, but to escape Winterfell. Now there's a better option, why not?
Aven spent a few more days in Winterfell, during which he met the handsome James Lannister, Queen Cersei Lannister, the Hound Dog, and the perverted Joffrey.
Speaking of Joffrey, in the original book, he took advantage of Bran's coma and hired someone to assassinate him. Break your word and kill Ned Stark in front of the three fools. In order to vent his dissatisfaction with his uncle Tyrion, he shoots the prostitute Rose in a perverted way. Also, humiliate the three fools in public and take pleasure in it.
Joffrey is a typical psychopath, and Evan really doesn't have a crush on him at all. According to Evan's current status, there is no need to scold him at all. Evan stayed away, he was now planning to get rid of Joffrey. It's about his future plans.
There was no one around, and Aven stood in the abandoned castle, next to his old buddy, Icewolf Ammon, where Bran had fallen. He looked up, and a tower of almost fifty meters appeared in front of him.
Fifty meters is a huge test of Aven's physical fitness. But apparently he didn't have to do that at all. In Winterfell, he had already left a few shadows.
After a while, a middle-aged man dressed in sackcloth came down from the tower. He spoke, "Lord Aven, I've double-checked, and there's no sign of anyone on the tower!" ”
"Well, let you keep an eye on Prince Joffrey these days, is there anything unusual about him?"
"Lord Aven, through our surveillance in the past few days, we have discovered that Joffrey has met a man through the guards. It's like something was discussed! Now that person is under our watchful eye! ”
Evan spoke, "You guys did a great job! I'm leaving the North for King's Landing tomorrow, so you guys lurk and don't make any moves. ”
"My lord, which one?"
Ai Wen laughed coldly: "Send him back to the West tonight, be careful, don't leave any traces!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The middle-aged man retired, leaving Evan alone here to meditate. According to the report of his subordinates just now, there is no trace of anyone on the tower, which proves that Cersei and James are not messing around here, and Bran was not pushed down by James. Aven's butterfly effect worked.
This shows one thing, everything was arranged by the Green Prophet. Evan felt a chill all over his body, and left without thinking. The Green Prophet is really not something that Evan can provoke right now.
No one bothered Evan during the day except for eating, and it was nearly evening. There was a knock on the door, and when I opened it, I saw that it was one of Aven's guards.
He walked in and said to Aiwen, "My lord, just now someone I don't know handed me a package and asked me to hand it over to you. ”
Evan took the package, and then said to the guard, "Go down!" ”
After the door closed, Evan opened the package and found a letter and a dagger inside. Avan opened the letter and read it, which stated that they had killed the man who had met Joffrey. That man was a killer who didn't want to go, but he had a valuable dagger on him.
Evan put down the letter, picked up the dagger and read it. Zheng! Drawing the dagger, it glowed brightly. This is indeed the dagger made of Valyrian steel in the original book.
After six years, Evan once again touched Valyrian steel. I remember that the last time he asked Eddard for one of the three conditions was to get his ice and study it for a while.
Evan studied it for a year, but nothing came out. In the original books, the only things that can defend against the alien spirits are Valyrian steel, fire, dragon crystal, and magic. Evan didn't materially figure out why Valyrian steel could defend against ghosts, so it was estimated that Valyrian steel should contain magical powers.
As for magic, Evan can be said to know nothing. In the past few years, he has also looked for magicians, but even though Evan has countless money and countless eyeliner. No clues have been traced about the mysterious existence of the magician.
The Alien will soon appear, so Evan will definitely strengthen the human as much as possible. Magic, the Golden Order, the Mercenaries, the Children of the Forest, the Giants, the Unpredictable Facelesss, and the three dragons that are about to be born. It's all up to Aven to control.
Looking at the Valyrian dagger in his hand, Evan stroked it lightly, then inserted it into the scabbard and threw it on the bed.
The Valyrian sword is precious, but for Aven, whose strength is close to zero. It doesn't make a difference if there is one. If one day someone comes to kill him, breaks through the guards, breaks through the Icewolf. Then Evan is sure to die.
The dinner began, and it was the last meal in the North. Tomorrow the people will set out before dawn to reach King's Landing as soon as possible.
Evan arrived at the venue early and waited for the king's arrival. Now he has to rein in his edge and keep a low profile.
After a while, people arrived one after another. Robert, Cersei, Joffrey, James, Tyrion, Eddard, Catherine, Robb, Sansa, Arya.
Robert spoke, "Aven, that's coming. ”
Evan stood up from his seat and saluted the crowd, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Robert was very satisfied with Aven's performance, the richest person in the entire Westeros continent was easily subdued by himself, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart: "Aven, do it, the banquet will start immediately, don't be restrained!" ”
Evan said, "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
Cersei, standing behind Robert, Arya was expressionless. Ed, Catherine looked guilty. Tyrion, James, Joffrey, and Sansa had expressions of disdain.
Evan didn't care about their expressions, but sat quietly and silently. In the past few days, rumors that Evan has not become the prime minister have spread throughout the North, which is actually nothing, but Evan can be said to have surprised everyone. After Robert's humiliation, it was okay for him not to resist, but he didn't expect him to choose to go to King's Landing to be a powerless and powerless staff officer.
How did Evan endure this humiliation, and no one knows why? So the only explanation is that he is a person with no self-esteem. These gossips have never stopped, but no one has dared to say them in front of him so far.
Of course, there was also speculation that it was Robert's threat, but Aven's freedom in Winterfell was not restricted in any way, and the rumors naturally went astonished.
Evan didn't have any resentment about this, as long as he could complete the task of destroying the strangers and return to them. Everything, it doesn't matter!
The banquet was boring, and all the people who could sit in it were the top of the entire kingdom. However, because of the lack of knightly honor in what Evan did, he was despised by most people. This made him embarrassed at this banquet.
After eating two bites casually, after about an hour, Evan got up and said to Robert, "Your Majesty, I am relatively weak, and I will leave tomorrow morning." So I want to rest early and I kindly leave! ”
Robert's voice was loud: "Go! It's really disappointing to look sick. ”
Evan smiled, then got up to leave. The people around him didn't expect the king to insult Evan like this, and he could bear it. Without further words, Evan left the venue.
Joffrey said to Sansa next to her, "Why does this Evan look like a piece of waste?" ”
Sansa said, "He's actually just weak......
Joffrey said, "Needless to say, the Seven Kingdoms have spread all over the world, how could I not know him. Now it doesn't seem to be as powerful as the legend, and my father is calling for it. ”
Sansa didn't know how to explain it, she really didn't know anything about Aven now. I remember that when she was a child, Brother Evan was very kind to her, and every time he came to Winterfell, he brought her a lot of new things. But as she gets older, so does the distance between Evan and her. When she saw Evan, she was like seeing an elder, and seeing each other was just a greeting.
Robb is like that, Arya is like that, and so is Jon. The achievements of Aven in the past eight years have made them look up to them. Unconsciously, the estrangement between each other began.
How could Aven laugh with their children when they were already talking and laughing with the Lords of the North?
