Chapter 6: A Stubborn Girl

King's Landing.

Even at night, the tinkling of Steel Street is heard incessantly, and this is where most blacksmiths work.

Joaquin didn't know why Jones had come to this boring and noisy place, according to his idea, he should go to Silk Street now, where there were all kinds of high-end brothels, and now he could go to soothe his tired body, but he didn't expect Jones to come first to the place where the craftsmen were.

"Aristocracy is just weird. He muttered to himself.

"The manufacturing industry is a direct reflection of a society's productivity and technology. Jones said casually.

Joaquin didn't know what he was talking about, but he didn't bother to ask, and the entourage shouldn't have so many questions.

......

The further back you go, the bigger the blacksmith shop becomes, and the more elaborate the contents become.

Jones entered a shop with a wide variety of ironware, and patiently weighed the various ironware inside, and the owner of the shop, if he hadn't seen that he was dressed in high-end clothes, he would have scolded this guy who didn't buy it.

"There are a lot of farm tools, a few kinds of tableware, but the most weapons, swords, daggers, spears, guns. Jones waved the spear in his hand and made a "whine" sound, which was amazingly destructive.

"Joaquin, I think spears are more suitable for me, what do you think?" he said a little unconfidently, because he remembered that he had learned spears as a child, but he was miserably abused by his brother "Little Jon" every time, which was also an incentive for him to give up learning spear and sword skills to become a scholar at that time.

"Your body is indeed a spear, but this is a cavalry weapon after all, and I can't teach you. Joaquin said a little helplessly.

"It's a pity," Jones reluctantly put down the spear in his hand, not knowing whether it was a pity for the spear or a pity for his own body. As he spoke, he touched a longbow with his hand, pulled the string, and was immediately attracted by the beauty of the bow.

"You can use it to hunt on the way back. He said excitedly, thinking about his own bravery when he hit every shot. Men always seem to be interested in shooting, whether it's a gun from a past life or a bow now.

"My lord, I have to remind you that it is very difficult to encounter prey on the King's Road, and some of them are domestic animals. Seeing that the other party's face gradually became ugly, Qiao Jin immediately added. "But buying a bow is also a wise decision, and it can be a good deterrent to bandits. ”

"That's what I thought. Jones said to himself, and finally he bought the bow and a bag of arrows with a golden dragon, and then set off for the next destination, where he needed to observe the world and its customs.

......

"Are you from the Amber family?"

Jones, who was walking on the flour street, suddenly came from behind him with a weak inquiry.

He turned around in surprise and saw a little girl about eight or nine years old, with big gray eyes that were very smart, and when she found that she was staring at her, her eyes were dodgy, as if she was ready to run away at any time.

"Who are you?" Jones searched his memories and found that he didn't know the little girl in front of him at all, and almost everyone he knew was in the north.

"I ask if you're from the Amber family?" the little girl's tone was very anxious.

"Yes, I'm Jones Amber. Looking at the other party's gray little face, Jones felt that the other party should be in some trouble, and he really couldn't think of any threat to a little girl who was only half his height could threaten him, so he simply replied directly and affirmatively.

"What's your father's name?" the little girl continued.

"Jon Amber. ”

"What's your family's coat of arms?"

"Roaring giants. ”

"Jones Amber, it's really you. The little girl said excitedly with tears, and her little hand hooked his clothes and pulled him into the alley next to him.

"You keep him away!" she said, pointing at Joaquin, in an unmistakable tone.

Jones had no choice but to let Joaquin wait at the entrance of the alley.

"Who do you think I am?"

"I don't know. He had a few guesses, but he couldn't match the dirty little girl in front of him.

"How can you forget, say that we are friends. The little girl was a little angry and let go of the little hand that was tugging at his clothes.

"Are you Arya Stark?" Hearing this, Jones was sure who the little girl in front of him was, he had studied with Maester Lewyn in Winterfell for a long time, and his main playmates at that time were Jon Snow, Robb Stark, and Arya, all three of whom were the children of Eddard Stark, Duke of Winterfell, but Jon Snow was an illegitimate child, and he didn't even have a surname, so he could only use the common surname of the bastards of the North - Snow.

He was close to Jon Snow and Robb Stark, so they didn't play together a lot, and Arya was a complete follower at the time, she was always interested in boys' activities, and in this respect, she was completely different from her sister Sansa Stark, and Jones formed a friendship with little Arya at that time.

"Yes, I'm Arya. ”

"Why did you get so dirty? No, what about your father?"

"They arrested him and said that he had murdered the king while hunting. How could it be, how could my father murder the king!"

"How so. He got the news in the school town that King Robert had died in a boar attack, and there was no mention of Eddard Stark murdering the king at the time. This news is very credible, because the school city is in principle not involved in politics, and it is also the main institution that records the history of the kingdom, unless the next king officially announces Eddard Stark's murder of the king.

And he himself has been thinking about the problem since he entered the city, and he didn't even pay attention to the news for a while.

"Did Lord Stark make a proclamation to murder the king?"

"The announcement made this afternoon, but the arrest of me began a few days ago. Little Arya said that this was very uncomfortable, and her eyes were already red.

"I believe that Lord Stark is a man of integrity and will not murder the King. Jones reassured, but he wasn't sure what the truth was, he had only met Eddard Stark a few times, and he had the impression that he was a very stern person, and his eyes would tremble when he saw each other when he was a child.

"Looks like it might be a hero!" was what Jones was thinking now, and of course he wouldn't really say it.

"Arya, what are you going to do now? No, we should leave for Winterfell at once. "Eddard Stark has an accident here, and the Stark family will definitely not rest on their laurels, maybe the Amber family is already gathering in Winterfell at this time, and he will definitely be officially included in the arrest list soon.

"You have to leave quickly, if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. Jones said anxiously, now he might be able to sneak out, and the further he goes, the more dangerous it becomes.

"No, I'm not leaving, I'm still here to save my father!" said Arya, stubbornly.

"You little girl, how can you save it? It's all golden robes here, and the guards of the Red Fort (Imperial Palace) are not something you can break through. ”

"Father is here, I won't leave, and now they are searching for me all over the city, I can't get out of the city gate, you go back quickly and tell my mother that I have escaped, and let her find a way to save me and my father." ”

"You're too dangerous to be alone. Although he didn't know if Eddard Stark was really treasonous, he couldn't do it if he left a childhood playmate, a little girl (Lo) and child (Leigh), here.

"I command you, in the name of House Stark, to bring my news to my mother. Little Arya said with red eyes. She didn't want to have someone she trusted to be by her side, and now she slept in the street at night, hiding in the dark during the day, alone and frightened.

In fact, after being hunted down that day, her first instinct was to escape from King's Landing immediately, but at that time, the whole city was under martial law, and no one was allowed to go out, so she did not succeed.

Although there is no martial law in the whole city now, it is only possible for Jones to go out with herself and the protection of the gods, she doesn't want to drag Jones into the risk, and the reason for saving her father is really that she can't tell whether it is true or not.
