Lynn counted the treasures inside the chest.

This was the last remaining box of Sidi's treasure captured from Bite Bay.

He clapped his hands, straightened up, and bothered up.

There were a total of 55 gold dragons and 89 silver deer, as well as some scattered copper and good-looking jewelry.

Lynn snorted, satisfied with the amount of treasure.

"Not bad. ”

He called Old Maester Hill.

He gave him 10 golden dragons, which were the widow's hope and the two shipments of goods in White Harbor, as well as the final payment and wages of the hired people.

Of course, the materials used to build the house in the early stage are also included.

Give the gold to Old Hill and ask him to help look after his territory.

This decision was made by Lynn.

Lynn's deceased father, Viscount Rothschild, was a student officer here when he planned his territory and established a fishing village port.

More than 30 years have passed now.

It shows that the old Sir Bachelor is still deeply trusted by Lynn's cheap father.

That alone is very rare.

Besides, Lynn had no other choice, and Rodat and Hood, the leader of the guards, had to follow her all the way south.

Three days passed in a flash.

After straightening out some small things in the city.

Lynn then led a convoy of 30 people, including 20 soldiers of the Cavalry Regiment and 10 attendants, and boarded a sea ship to the Trident River.

The armed forces stationed in the fishing village port were 15 members of the cavalry regiment responsible for the defense of the city, and 5 guards in charge of public security.

That's not a lot of people, but it's a lot.

Lynn expects to go south this time and not delay too long.

Moreover, there are no major hostile forces around the fishing village port.

The protection fee for White Harbor in the north was paid, and the pirates in Bite Bay in the south were slaughtered, and now it is their own territory.

He can go out for a while with peace of mind.

Three freshly painted brigs set out to sea in parallel.

Lynn sat on a deck chair with the gentle sea breeze, and the ship's mate was Kompany. He had the sailors prepare ales and fruit and place them on a makeshift coffee table next to Lynn.

The sea vessels sailed in this section of the Bite Bay, and the waves were calm.

Out of Biting Bay, it follows the current south, and soon enters the east coast of the Arryn Valley.

The coast is the Five Fingers Peninsula that extends from the Arryn Valley Mountains, and a small island that hangs off the coast, ** Island.

From here, it was already part of the Narrow Sea, and the number of merchant ships coming to and from Westeros from the coast of Essos began to increase.

Most of them departed from Braavos Harbour and transported goods directly to merchants who were unloaded on the Five Fingers Peninsula in the Arryn Valley, passed through the Neck, and then traveled overland to the west or north.

Downriver and downwind.

Lynn's sailboat was moving very fast.

Departing early in the morning, at sunset, it is just in time to arrive at the great city of the south east coast of the Arryn Valley, Runestone City.

This is the Royce family fort. It is located on the southeast coast of the valley, north of Seagull Town, and is a semi-port city.

Kompany was going to dock overnight in the harbor here, where he needed to replenish some fresh water and food.

Lynn agreed, disguised as a city merchant, and disembarked with five or six escorts.

The sunset is still completely submerged under the surface of the sea.

The lights of the harbor began to light up.

Lynn was a little surprised at how prosperous it was, but on second thought, across the narrow sea from Runestone City was the famous Braavos Bay, where the richest man in the world lived.

The iron vaults of the rich country are also there.

Walking from the port pier to the city, every section of the road is paved with cobblestones, which is very comfortable to walk up and looks expensive.

According to aristocratic custom, Lynn was supposed to visit the city's earl, Jon Royce.

However, he already plans to go south with a secret identity, so he will naturally not be stupid enough to expose himself.

On a busy street near the port, Lynn found an inn and prepared to spend the night.

The inn is a two-storey brick building with a grey lime powder on the exterior walls, which looks relatively clean.

The first floor is the bar and restaurant, and the second floor is the housing.

The head of the guard quickly went to the innkeeper to complete the formalities and pay for the room, and the group was about to go up the crescent staircase in the corner of the bar.

A gruff voice shouted behind Lynn, "Boy, come from the north." ”

Kindness?

Lynn stopped and looked back behind her.

In front of the round wine table not far away, there were five or six big men sitting around, a man with a black beard, who was squinting his eyes at this time, looking directly at Lynn unceremoniously.

Several of his other companions also had sinister smiles on their faces.

Judging by the way he was dressed, he seemed to be a local sailor.

Among them, a thin monkey-like person will unscrupulously gaze on Lynn's waist, as if he has taken a fancy to the sheathed short blade.

A pair of small eyes full of greed.

This skinny Lynn has seen,

Just as he was disembarking from the dock of Runestone City, this guy looked sneaky and was chased away by the sharp-eyed Hood.

"What about the Northerners? What about the Northerners?"

Lynn reached out to stop the angry guard Hood and asked calmly.

The black-bearded man smacked his mouth and said, "Northerners are not welcome here. ”

Lynn frowned and said, "The current guardian of the valley is the son of Lady Rysa Tully of the Valley?"

The man stood up and said viciously, "So what?"

Lynn pouted and smiled, "Oh, nothing, I'm just making sure you're not that kid." ”

The guests in the bar burst into laughter.

Lynn continued, "Besides, the Tully family is now allied with the North, and perhaps Lady Lysa may also ally with the North for this, so the Northlanders may become a family in a few days, and the world is unpredictable, isn't it?"

Lynn even analyzed and flickered, and said the drunken cheeks in a daze, he knew that what Lynn said was a bit far-fetched, but it seemed to have a little truth, and he couldn't say what was wrong with the beard for a while.

After a while, he said in a slur manner: "You are talking nonsense." ”

His face was already flushed.

Lynn shook his head, too lazy to pay any more attention to this fool.

Turn around and walk up the stairs.

At this moment, another voice came from the center of the hall.

"It's true that Lady Lysha is from the Tully family, but that's all the old calendar, and now she is the Lady of the Vale, representing the interests of the people of the Valley, so she will never ally with the North." ”

"That's right, that's right!"

The bearded man hurriedly agreed.

The fierce expression on his face was a little more cold than before.

Lynn couldn't bear it anymore.

The people of the north have recruited you to provoke you, and they are actually openly discriminating against you.

As a nobleman in the North, he discriminates against the people of the North in front of himself.

Lynn looked at the Essos in the hall and said with a heavy face, "The Essos are also so interested in the affairs of Westeros?"

The people of Rune Island are a little hostile to the people of the North, but Lynn can understand it, because this place is very close to King's Landing, and if the valley is thrown to the North, the King's Landing Navy is estimated to be able to drive here in a day, and the Rune Island will be plundered first.

This is not speculation.

The Lannisters owe a large sum of money to the Iron Vault, and the two goods of Emperor Qiao and Queen Se are a pair of losers, and the fat meat that is so close and so rich in Runestone Island is close at hand.

They are famous and rob their own people, and they do it.

However, the provocative remarks made by these people in front of Lynn were not to worry about the country and the people.

Aware of the thin monkey's greedy gaze, he always stayed on the Valyrian dagger at his waist.

A sneer tugged at the corner of Lynn's mouth.
