Chapter 209: Weirdos
At the end of the day, Caitlin Stark, like her father, didn't trust the Freys, especially when they weren't surrounded by adequate protection. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although Frey had only verbally said strange things before, no one knew when this old man would actually do something strange. Therefore, although the road to the north is the direction of home, Frey's unstable factor is in the middle, and she does not dare to venture north.
To the west from the Quetto Inn was Riverrun, her father's place, a place she didn't want to take with her. She chose to head east, heading to the Eagle's Nest in the east. There, her own sister Lysa, the widow of Duke Arryn, and Robin, the future Duke of Eagle's Nest, rule the castle, which is said to be "impenetrable".
She wasn't sure why she was going in this direction instead of heading to the West, where her father was. Perhaps deep down in her heart, there was a vague feeling that she had done something wrong, and that children who made mistakes would always want to avoid serious parents. Fortunately, no one asked her this question, just followed her, watching her curl up in the colder and colder air wrapped in a thick blanket.
Away from the warmth of the riverlands, the eastern border, occupied by lofty mountains, has a completely different environment. There's always a wind that blows down from a crevice, canyon, or snow-covered mountain top, blowing away the warm and humid air that has been gathering up so much, making the skin extremely uncomfortable. How many years has it been since she had been here, and has she not seen each other since she got married? Caitlyn has been thinking about one kind of question and another all the way, but there is only one core of it: "Will Lyza help herself?"
The motto of the Tully family is "family, duty, honor", the Arryn family is "high as honor", and Lysa and herself are blood sisters, and this will never change. Catelyn kept convincing herself that she tightened her cloak.
Having left the Quetsu Hotel in a hurry, they did not bring much with them. Originally, it was enough to have only two people, Caitlyn and Rodric, but now a group of "knights" has been added. Caitlin herself knew that these people weren't really knights, and if she were to choose a Knights of Oath, only one or two would barely meet the mark. Mercenaries, speculators, and troubadours are the true portrayal of this group. How could such a person carry enough food? So after a few days of marching, the group quickly ran into trouble, trouble with food.
"Anyway, the little man can sit wherever he sits, and kill his horse. In this way, even if he wanted to escape, he only had two legs. "Someone suggested that Mrs. Stark didn't object. The only ones who objected were Tyrion and Zhao Mai.
"We don't have anything to eat, maybe you're willing to contribute your food and horses?" A hired knight with a short knife and a hippie smile jumped in front of Zhao Mai: "Maybe your dog can too?"
Zhao Mai punched him in the mouth, shattering a full twelve teeth in his front. How could a fragile human body withstand a fist strengthened by psychic powers, and the boy fell straight back and passed out, coughing up blood from time to time with tooth fragments.
After removing the psychic ability, his fist was not stained with the slightest blood, and it was still as clean as new. "Don't try to touch my dog. Zhao Mai didn't mean to joke at all, and the cold aura exuded from his body was no different from this precipitous mountain range. "If you want to find something to eat, you either go hunting or eat your own horses. What's it to keep an eye on someone else's stuff?"
"What shall we do after we have eaten the horses?" said the troubadour Marek, patting "his own horse", which he had actually taken away from the stables while he had taken advantage of the chaos, and he had always wanted a really good horse. Only by following this group can he keep his horse, and he can also "take part in something worthy of praise, an adventure full of justice and honor!"
"Who's going to hunt here?" Bronn held on to the hilt of his sword, a cloud of gloom between his brows. Since the morning, it has been foggy in the mountains, and it is impossible to see anything except the road dozens of meters before and after. If Tyrion drilled into the mountains at this time, his small size would easily disappear, and no one would be able to catch him.
Fortunately, the little devil knew where he was going. Before, he sat on the back of a horse with his head covered and swayed, and he was still talking to himself at that time. Take off your hood and see that there are mountains on both sides instead of wetland plains, and calculate the time and foot speed. "You're going to Eagle's Nest City to find your sister, not going north to Winterfell at all!"
This means that even if news of his arrest spreads, the first people to come to the rescue will miss their target. In the vicinity of Riverlands, the Lannisters have few close friends, but they have many close friends with money, and the Lannisters always have debts to pay. He also counted on a truly righteous knight - at least with the justice of money - to rescue him.
In the mountains of the East, wild beasts and savages live, and if ordinary people lose their way, they will probably never be able to get out again. Tyrion is self-aware, and even if he could escape, he wouldn't do it, after all, there is a big difference between actually escaping and being sent to die.
"I'm going hunting. Zhao Mai stood up. He closed his eyes and reached out to feel the changes in the natural force around him from the wind. After a while, the topography and the distribution of flora and fauna had a preliminary impression in his mind. There is no shortage of food between the mountains, and the key is how to ask for it from nature.
"You're not trying to escape, are you?" asked Marion.
"If you could think before you speak, you wouldn't be a stupid troubadour. Zhao Mai looked at Mrs. Stark, and then said, "Since you ordered a temporary rest, then I will help you find something to eat, it won't take too long." Don't kill these horses, they are bred to ride, not to eat. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Mike. Caitlyn lifted the cloak wrapped around her head, nodded slightly, and said, "I would like to ask, in the past few days, there have been many opportunities for you to leave, why did you keep following?"
"Because you didn't forbid Tyrion to speak, and I have a lot to ask him. Zhao Mai kept talking to Tyrion all the way, and learned from him about the Targaryens and the dragons. Tyrion was well-read and willing to be talked to, so he knew everything.
"I have to admit that he read a lot of books, but he really learned too little. Caitlin rode on her horse and said to Zhao Mai, "Thank you again, from now on, you can come and go freely, and no one will stop you." ”
"yes, no one can grow extra teeth at any time like a shark, so no one will stop me. Zhao Mai whistled, and the reserve immediately followed. Within a moment they were disappearing into the mountain mist.
"Ma'am, this man is quite mysterious. "Sir Rodric came to Caitlin's horse and helped her to hold on to the reins and help her down. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he whispered, "I haven't been able to see his details. I'm sorry, but it seems wrong when I dragged him in. ”
"It's okay, my good sir, I think he's a weirdo at best, not a bad guy. She sighed and said, "In this era, it's not easy to be a bad person. (To be continued.) )
