Chapter 52: Returning Home
The journey back to the north.
Because it was against the current to the north, the sea vessel drifted in the narrow sea for four days before entering the waters of Biting Bay.
There were two brief stops on the way to replenish supplies, and at noon on the fifth day, Lynn finally returned to her familiar territory in a sea boat.
"You're finally back in the North, Arya, are you happy?" asked Lynn as she stepped out of the cabin and looked at Erya, who was standing on the deck overlooking the scenery of the fishing village harbor.
"Yes. ”
Erya smiled faintly and nodded, but soon a touch of melancholy climbed her cheeks.
A clear sea breeze blows in your face.
Bidding farewell to the humid and dreary air of the south, Lynn stretched comfortably.
He sniffed and looked up, the sky was blue, and after entering the valley, not a drop of rain had fallen from the sky.
Dry air, that's what a long summer in Westeros should look like.
However, the long summer is coming to an end.
Winter is coming.
Lynn looked at his fishing village from afar and sighed, he was far from fully prepared for the future.
The revolution is not yet complete, and comrades still have to work hard.
One by one, the refugees lined up and disembarked from the boats, and boxes of salt and cloth were carried down the docks.
It was then transported back to the city by carriage hired by Master Hill from the castle.
By the time everyone was done, it was already early.
The moment Lynn led Arya and the others into the gate of the castle in the fishing village port.
The system prompt is coming, as promised.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main quest and rewarding a golden monster draw card]
Lynn paused.
Now is not the time to look at the system.
There are more things for him to deal with.
A few squires were arranged to bring the refugees there, and the elder Hill supervised the construction of the improvised house, and then had Rodat lead Lovren and his Templar Order to the camp where the Knights had been built.
As for the goods.
There was no special warehouse for goods, and the goods brought back were transported to the lord's mansion with horse-drawn carts and porters.
A vacant cottage in the backyard of the mansion can be put on hold for a while.
Small fishing village port castle.
Everywhere started to crowd.
The same is true of the streets of the city, where old Cotter, who returned from White Harbor, with more than 100 craftsmen hired from White Harbor, began to build their new homes along the streets.
There will be no land fees, which Lynn has promised.
Walking down the streets back to the lord's mansion, Rao was prepared, but Lynn still felt slightly stunned.
I have only been away for more than ten days, and the castle has changed a little.
Trenches have been dug out of the vacant land on both sides of the street, and the foundations of the houses have been filled in, and it is foreseeable that wooden buildings will soon be built on them.
You can see some fresh faces everywhere on the road.
And when those fresh faces learned that the young man walking down the street who was escorted by the attendants was the local lord, many of them habitually bent down to bow to Lynn from a distance.
These are all rules that come from big cities, right?
Lynn frowned, a little displeased.
But I didn't scold them, the food had to be eaten bite, and new rules were slowly established.
Rashly changing anything will only outweigh the gains.
Arya walked happily beside Lynn, put on the dress that a girl should have, and showed the temperament of a noblewoman in her demeanor.
Erya looked left and right with novelty, "Lynn, your Rothschild family's management ability seems to be very powerful, this place is clean and not like a small fishing town." ”
Lynn smiled, and it seemed that the order he had told Old Hill before he left to improve the castle's hygiene seemed to have been effectively implemented.
However, is he an old bachelor, can he really spend so much effort on the cumbersome government affairs of the castle?
Lynn expressed some skepticism.
He turned his head to look at Old Bachelor Hill, squinted and asked, "These things, it shouldn't be Old Bachelor that you are cooking, right?"
Old Hill hurriedly smiled, waved his hand and said, "My lord, sure enough, Qiu Hao, the affairs of government affairs are your housekeeper, and Miss Dani is handling it." ”
Lynn looked up in surprise, "Dani, she's back from Riverrun?"
Old Hill nodded, "On the third day of your departure, Miss Dani returned to Fishing Village Harbor. ”
Lynn nodded thoughtfully.
Arya on the side pouted and interjected, "Who is Dani? Lynn, do you have a wife?"
Lynn was choked by Erya's words, and almost choked to death, he coughed dryly: "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Dani is about the same age as you, and now she is the butler of my lord's mansion." ”
Arya looked at her curiously, her big eyes blinking, and there was a strange glow.
Lynn saw Erya's expression, and said in her heart that this girl has always been very competitive, so she shouldn't have any other thoughts about Dani of the same age.
Lynia Stark had been safely escorted to the North, and Lynn was hesitant to send someone to take him to Winterfell.
But on second thought, Winterfell was probably going to soon be conquered by Theon Greyjoy and his Iron Isles.
The family castle that the Stark family has inherited for generations will soon be destroyed by the Iron Min.
At this time, sending Arya to Winterfell in the north didn't hurt her?
Lynn shook her head, giving up on the idea.
If you don't send it to Winterfell, where will you send it?
Send her to the army of Coroberts and let Arya meet her mother, Caitlin Tully?
It doesn't seem to be appropriate, Robb's big carrot was hooked by the little nurse in the field, and Robbert's army was about to be destroyed in the river.
Going there is also sending Arya to death.
Thinking about it, Lynn suddenly felt that it seemed that it was not appropriate to send the second Arya anywhere, and none of the Stark family people were about to have a good life.
Her brother Robb and her mother, Caitlyn, are on a checkmate of death.
Her sister Sansa Stark is trapped in the Red Keep in King's Landing, and her illegitimate brother, Jon Snow, is on the Wall, busy fighting the Strangers.
And the adopted son left behind by his father, Ned Stark, Theon Greyjoy, is about to rebel against the North and lead people to raid Winterfell, the home castle of the Stark family.
Thinking of this, Lynn looked at Arya with sympathy, this girl's fate was too bumpy.
Erya didn't notice Lynn's strange gaze, she was talking to someone without a match.
It seems that the two are quite close to each other.
Lynn's eyes lit up at this scene.
Maybe...... Someone seems to owe himself two promises.
Lynn, Arya, someone, Master Hill, and Hood, the leader of the guards, made their way to the gates of the Lord's Mansion.
I saw a familiar and colorful back, appearing on the corner in front of the door.
Dani was directing the porters, unloading boxes of goods from the wagon towards the gates of the lord's mansion.
Dani, the housekeeper, turned her head and saw Lord Lynn, she stepped forward quickly, and saluted respectfully, "Your Excellency, are you back?"
Lynn looked at Dani's expression, it seemed to be different from the first few days before, the little girl's face actually had a bit of vicissitudes, but the spirit seemed to be very good, and she seemed to be a real old man of the Fishing Village Harbor Lord's Mansion.
Dani lowered her posture and greeted a few people around Lynn one by one.
When he arrived, when he was about to salute Arya, Erya first waved his hand to interrupt, and watched Dani open her mouth vigilantly and said, "No need to salute, we saw it in Riverrun." ”
