Chapter Twenty-Six: Dense Clouds and No Rain

Eddard Stark's self-conceived secret search is obvious to those who care about him, and it can be said that the Royal Council and the Lannisters know about him, and probably only King Robert, one of the parties in the government and the opposition, does not know about this matter.

The news of Tyrion's arrest has not yet reached the ears of Eddard Stark in King's Landing, because Ed is no longer the Prime Minister at this time, and he has a big fight with the King, and when it comes to what to do with Daenerys Targaryen, Prime Minister Eddard, the honorable Duke Stark, once again chooses what he thinks of justice and honor.

Against the king's wishes, he refused to harm a fifteen-year-old girl like Daenerys and her unborn baby. As a result, he was removed from the post of prime minister.

Ed was a little disheartened, the long summer in King's Landing had not yet passed, and now it was drizzling, and the clouds in the sky were gray and dense. He thought of his two daughters, the eldest daughter Sansa was in her prime of life, virtuous and beautiful, and the younger daughter Arya was eccentric, but after studying with the Oriental named Oroin these days, she gradually became a girl's family.

Although she still likes boys' things, she is more adapted to public occasions, knows how to behave appropriately, how to look like an upper-class aristocratic girl just now, and gradually has a hint of charm from her aunt Lyanna Stark between her eyebrows, and the wildness is mixed with the beauty of girls.

He was relieved by this, and it occurred to him that perhaps he should return to Winterfell by sea. He is not water-savvy, and would normally prefer to take the King's Route, but if he is on a boat, he can stop at Dragonstone and talk to Stannis Baratheon.

Pisher said that he had sent a raven over the Narrow Sea, and brought with him a letter in which he politely asked Duke Stannis to return to his court, but there was no reply.

The silence only deepened his suspicions. Stannis must have known the secret of Jon Arryn's death, he was sure of that. The truth of what he was looking for was likely to await him in the ancient island fortress of the House of Targaryen.

Even if you find out the truth, what can you do? Some secrets are best buried forever, and some secrets are too dangerous to share with others, even those you love and believe in.

"My lord, Lord Berishi wants to see you." Eddard's squire, Thomad, walked in and said.

"Let him in, and then you go and fetch Euroin, oh no, Earl Euroin Macbeth Malcolm of Harrenhal, and say I have something to consult with him." When the edict of appointment was issued, they found out that they did not know Du Yu's full name and family emblem, so Du Yu made up a name, representing the dream he was pursuing, his strong ambition and pure bloodline. The family emblem uses the phoenix, a traditional Chinese sacred bird, which means "devote yourself to the light and be reborn in the flames." ”

"Yes, sir!" Thomas nodded and turned to go out, and in a moment the Count of Petyr paced into the study as if nothing had happened in the morning. He wore a velvet tunic of cream and silver, a gray silk cloak with black fox trim, and a mocking smile on his face.

Thomas came to Du Yu's small laboratory, which was built by Du Yu temporarily, and was even more famous in King's Landing than the bachelor's laboratory, because even this seemingly dilapidated laboratory could always make a lot of good medicines, which were very effective in treating some daily diseases.

Because of this, Fellow Paisher was forced by Du Yu's reputation and power to open his library to Du Yu, which was the meaning of Cersei Lannister and Jaime Lannister at the same time, in other words, this was the meaning of Duke Tywin, which could not be refused.

"Aloin...... Oh no, Count Malween, may I come in? Thomas asked outside the door, his identity is different, and if he is not the same as before, his name will naturally be changed.

"Come in, Tom." Du Yu had naturally heard the sound of footsteps coming, and he was experimenting with how to preserve wildfires and increase the stability of this substance, so that the preservation conditions were no longer as harsh as before. He combines the magic of the Lord of Light with the knowledge of the Bachelor.

With a "squeak", the heavy steel-rimmed door was slowly pushed open, and Thomas was shocked, the door was quite heavy.

"Tom, tell me, what is the matter with Duke Stark calling you to come to me?" Du Yu played with a newly made blade in his hand, if it was excellent, except for the Valyrian steel blessed with magic, nine out of nine swords in the world could not compare. A cold reflection of light pierced Thomad's eyes, and he subconsciously took a step back.

The difference in their identities determines their attitude during the conversation.

"Master Stark told you to meet him and consult with you in person, and I don't know the specifics." Thomas finished saying Ed's words of blessing him without humility or arrogance, and looked at Du Yu with blazing eyes, he didn't know, and he wasn't sure, when Du Yu's identity had been greatly improved, Ed was no longer the prime minister, and when he was at a low point, whether Du Yu would still be called.

"Well, tell me, Mistress Berish Petyr is there, too." Du Yu pondered for a while, considering the advancement of the plot, although he is a butterfly, with the character of Little Finger, in order to intensify the conflict, he will inevitably help Prime Minister Ed investigate Robert's illegitimate child.

A look of horror appeared on Thomad's face, his eyes froze, and he looked at Du Yu and asked astringently, "...... Count Marwey...... how do you know? ”

"It's nothing, it's just a guess, please go and tell Lord Eddard that I'm trying to make an important breakthrough today, and I can't leave."

Du Yu thought about it and refused, he is now in a thriving way, and naturally has his own news channels, simply because Tyrion was arrested by Lady Caitlin, the fault was Eddard Stark, he was too aggressive in dealing with the Lannisters, and did not consider where he was, Du Yu did not need to risk offending the Lannisters to help Eddard out.

Thomas showed a disappointed look on his face, and there was a faint dissatisfaction, in his opinion, Du Yu's behavior was a little ungrateful. He said yes in a stiff tone, turned around and was about to leave.

"Tom, wait!" Du Yu suddenly stopped Thomas again, and Thomas turned around, his face stiff without a trace of emotion. "You can bring this soft armor to Prime Minister Ed, he may be able to use it."

Thomas looked at what Du Yu handed over, this was an extremely delicate set of silver soft chain armor, with an unknown dark gray thread thread threaded together in the middle, as thin as a cicada's wing, extremely light.

"This thing is invulnerable, forged from wildfire, and is a weapon for self-defense. You are afraid that you will not be safe along the way, please tell the Prime Minister, I will protect Miss Arya's safety no matter what, but if I were him, I would no longer live in King's Landing, a city without snow, and the white color of the Icewolf will only wither in the yellow sand when it leaves the snowfield. ”

"Deceive people's ears and eyes with the most beautiful appearances; The treacherous heart must be covered with a false smile, and it is all that is said in order to do it for itself. ”

Du Yu didn't say a word again, and Thomas still wanted to say something, but the gap in identity made it impossible for him to say more, so he could only say goodbye: "Count Marwyn, I will convey your words to Lord Ed, I will retire." After saying that, he turned around and walked out without hesitation, to reply to Eddard Stark.

Behind him came the sound of clanging iron, and the chaotic murmur at first gradually added a certain wonderful rhythm, and came in a smooth and tumbling sound.

Magic, alchemy, martial arts, legendary power and knowledge blended and collided, feeling the energy in his body, Du Yu felt as if he had touched something, something very important to him, but he couldn't grasp the fleeting feeling, the music fluttered, spiraling up.

The charred black ring refracted a milky white glimmer when Du Yu was not paying attention, opened in the small space, and then disappeared, as if nothing had happened.
