"Who are you?" In a spacious living room in the Red Castle, the girl Arya stared at the man in front of her with dark eyes.

"I'm Sauron Melko, and I'll be your sword teacher from this day forward." The man turned.

"You're the swordsmanship teacher that your dad hired? Hey, it's you? Arya suddenly recognized that the person in front of her was the stranger she had seen in the forest last time, and she couldn't help but look curious.

"Yes, little miss, we meet again." Zoro smiled.

"Aren't you a civilian?" The girl blurted out that she knew she was speechless, and hurriedly tried to make amends, stammering, "I ...... I didn't mean that, but you, why are you here? ”

"Thanks to your brother Robb, I'm already a knight." Zoro didn't mind, and smiled kindly, "As for why I'm here, because I cured your brother Bran, your mother wants me to protect you, and your father asked me to teach you some swordsmanship by the way. ”

"Has Bran recovered?" Arya was surprised.

Zoro nodded slowly, his expression became solemn amid the girl's surprise cheers, and said solemnly, "We have wasted a lot of time, now let's start today's sword practice." The first lesson, the horse step ......"

In the corridor not far away, two people were looking at this place from afar.

"What is this? Simple standing? If you really want him to teach Arya, I can find the best sword teacher for her. ”

Prime Minister Ed glanced at Littlefinger and said coldly, "I am her father, and I will make the best decision for her." ”

"I'm just concerned about my old friend's daughter......" Seeing Ed's dissatisfied gaze sweeping over, Little Finger couldn't help muttering in a low voice, but he didn't dare to refute the other party's majesty, and took the initiative to change the topic, "The matter you want me to check on the former Prime Minister Jon has already come to fruition, do you want to listen to it now?" ”

"Nope." Prime Minister Ed interrupted him, and then said slowly, "King's Landing's palace is full of eyes and ears, and I think we need a secret place. ”

Glancing at the two people practicing martial arts below, Prime Minister Ed turned to leave.

Littlefinger hurriedly followed, and before leaving, he glanced at Zoro from afar with an inexplicable gaze, and made a covert glance at the empty space in the corner.

Soon after the two left, a black shadow flashed away in the corner of the wall.

Over the next few days, Zoro the Descendant became Lori Arya's sword teacher, teaching her a set of traditional martial arts techniques that were completely different from those of Westeros.

"Teacher...... My legs are so sore......" In the wide and bright martial arts training ground, little Lori Arya said pitifully.

Zoro leisurely flipped through a very famous biography of knights in Westeros, and said without raising his eyelids: "There are five minutes left, and today's lesson is over." ”

"Oh." Little Lori answered, blushed and continued to work hard, although the girl was small and weak, her will was extremely firm, and she definitely endured hardships for the sake of learning the sword, and she was hard and strong.

With an order, he sat down on the ground in one breath and gasped vigorously.

"Don't sit, stand up and move a few steps."

The girl stood up with weak feet and legs, and slowly moved to Sauron's side, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, it's been a week, when will you teach me swordsmanship?" ”

The day after day of standing pile training made her feel very puzzled, and secretly there were some dissatisfactions.

"Horse step standing pile is the essence and necessary course in my martial arts system, if you want to be as strong as me one day, then this kind of training must be persistent." Sauron closed his book and stood, his legs sinking and swaying with ease.

On the first day of teaching Arya to practice martial arts, Zoro showed her a little strength, and with a sword, he cut a stone pillar with a thick arm in two, which shocked little Lori.

That's why she's so obedient.

"I'm standing here, you push me to try."

Arya's big eyes showed an interested look, and she stretched out her hand and pushed it forward, but the other party didn't move.

Zoro shook his head, "The power is too small, use all your strength." ”

"Ahh Arya used her strength to push and pull hard, but the other party seemed to be connected to the earth, Mo said that her feet moved half a step, and she didn't even see her body move half a minute.

"Your strength is still too small...... Zoro rubbed the girl's little head, "it seems that I need to teach you a quick and fast footwork, and a steady enough step will allow you to better avoid risks." ”

The footwork in his mouth is a profound martial art inherited from another time and space, which is completely different from the Huo family's lost steps in the knight combat technique system of the Westeros continent.

"Okay!" Arya looked jubilant.

Zoro suddenly grinned and said, "Tomorrow, in addition to horse walking, you have one more task, which is to run along the palace with me, and to practice footwork, you must first learn to run." ”

Arya suddenly looked at her and sat down on the ground.

So the next day, there was such a scene in the King's Landing Palace, two people one big and one small ran one after the other, a finger-thick rope connected the waists of the two, whenever the little girl in the back row was crumbling and about to fall behind, the man in front reached out and stretched the rope, and the little girl immediately gritted her teeth and followed......

The days passed quickly in the process of ** little Lori, and it has been a month since Prime Minister Ed took office in a blink of an eye, and only one major event has happened during this period, that is, the Prime Minister's Martial Arts Competition, which has been talked about by the Seven Kingdoms, is finally approaching in the spotlight.

On the day of the start of the tournament, more than 100 tents had been erected outside the city walls and on the banks of the river, and thousands of ordinary people came to watch. The shining armor, the tall war horses covered in gold and silver, the shouting of the masses, the traders and the scantily clad **, and the bright flags fluttering in the wind rose and fell, making this competition the most lively feast in the Seven Kingdoms.

The crest of the eight families of the Baratheon royal family and the families of the Seven Kingdoms clans fluttered in the wind, and the coats of arms of the eight families of the Crown Stag, the Ice Running Wolf, the Roaring Golden Lion, the Leaping Trout, the Lunar Sky Falcon, the Goring Battle Banner, the Four-Clawed Sea Monster, and the Piercing Sun Golden Gun were inlaid on the edge of the tent and various war equipment, and even the flags of the small and medium-sized feudal lords such as the Red Skinner, the Black Porcupine, the Rainbow Trout, and the Black Broken Wheel also appeared around the main house.

The knights' shields hung from each of the tents, a long line of silk pennants fluttered in the wind, and steel swords and gilded spurs glittered in the sun. Everywhere there are strong knights, with the help of trainee knights, training. The squires were busy polishing and waxing the armor and armor, polishing and maintaining the spears and weapons, while the horsemen led the horses to the river to wipe and clean and adjust the saddles.

Zoro, Arya's sword teacher, and Jazz, recommended by Prime Minister Eddard, also participated in the tournament.

"Teacher, can you win the championship in this tournament?" Arya asked curiously as she helped Ser Sauron buckle up her coat.

"What do you think?" It was the first time for Suo Longshang to wear this kind of heavily armed knight's heavy armor, and dozens of pounds of heavy armor could not bring him much burden, but it was more novel.

When little Lori Arya heard this, she said with a little worry: "I heard my father say that the strongest knights of the Seven Kingdoms will participate in a tournament like this, and there are often knights who die. ”

"Oh little one, don't worry about me. Don't worry, these people don't threaten me yet, and I'll come back with the championship. Sauron stretched out his hand and shook it, the steel gauntlet clanged, and he felt the powerful power gathering and enriching in his body, only to hear him take a deep breath and say, "Remember, your teacher, Sauron Melko, this name will soon become the title of the strongest knight in the Seven Kingdoms." ”

The competition was divided into three parts: horse spear duel, archery competition and team competition, and Sauron participated in the horse spear duel with the most knightly characteristics and the highest gold content.

On the first day of the tournament, amid the earth-shattering cheers, two heavily armed knights were already in place on the wide arena, they were Horace Redwyn of House Redwyn and Sauron Melcor, a freelancer representing House Stark.

Compared to Horace Redwin, who wore intricately patterned armor, Sauron Melko looked much shabby, the black-gray armor made by the nameless blacksmith was heavy and ugly, without any coats of arms or carvings, and was a little more like a tin pot in the comments of the noble ladies around him.

But he's not without fans.

"Teacher, come on! that Redwyn guy! From the stands, Arya shouted loudly.

"Shut up, Arya." Sansa let out a low sigh of relief, she looked in Prince Joffrey's direction, and saw that he hadn't noticed her sister's rude behavior, "We're the daughters of the Stark family, we should be a lady, everyone is looking at us. ”

Arya pursed her lips disdainfully at her sister's admonition, completely ignoring the other party, "Be your hellish lady!" And I will become the strongest knight in the Seven Kingdoms. After speaking, he stood up directly from his seat, screaming and jumping, and could vaguely hear the ridicule of the noble ladies around him.

"Father, look at her......" Sansa was so angry and anxious that she felt that she could not stay any longer, so she had to ask Duke Stark for help.

Duke Stark shook his head helplessly, feeling a headache at his two completely different girls, so he had to sigh and say, "Let her go......"

"Here we go...... Started ......" The surrounding chatter suddenly became eager, and as a clarion call sounded, the two horses on the field immediately pulled the reins, and the two horses galloped like lightning, launching the most ferocious impact on each other.

The long wooden spear head is held firmly by a powerful palm, and the spear head shakes and is ready to deliver a fatal blow.

The two horses staggered, Sauron's eyes flashed, and with a little effort in his hand, he swung the spear of the opponent's attack, and pointed it on the opponent's breastplate with great precision, causing Horace to fall from his horse with a sharp fall.

"The victor is the Knight of Sauron from the North!"

Defeated a knight with good martial arts in just one round, this competition attracted the attention of many princes and nobles.

"Oh, that's nice, freelancer from the North."

"He was just an unknown man before, but after this battle, there will definitely be a place for him in the Seven Kingdoms." Little Finger twisted a strand of beard around his lips and said meaningfully.

"The person recommended by Prime Minister Stark is naturally not far behind, and I think he is qualified to run for the Kingsguard." Eddard Stark, as the king's deputy under one person in the Seven Kingdoms and above ten thousand, is naturally indispensable for flatterers.

Ed only frowned at this, he didn't value any of this, and he was worried about the king's extravagance in comparison.

King Robert's insistence on estrangement between the two men after decades of separation, and the dissenting Lancelot family around the Iron Throne made him worry about King's Landing......
