Chapter 148: Little Informant
As soon as Tyrion appeared, the entire Night's Watch office seemed to have a domineering atmosphere. Eggerton felt the burden on his shoulders lighten, as if he had a backbone. In terms of "fighting with others", science students have no advantage in terms of knowledge and advanced concepts, and in the end, they are still born with aristocratic status and have been immersed in such a social environment since childhood.
However, although the solution came out, Iger still faintly felt that something was wrong, took out the blank bond slip and filled it out while thinking about it, and after a while, he finally figured out what the problem was: "Wait, Robert is going back to King's Landing in the next two days, you use your connections to be the commander of the King's Landing garrison at this time, will he misunderstand that the Lannisters are seizing military power?"
"It's not like I'm going to ......fight him myself," Tyrion replied, hesitating. When it comes to the military, it is a sensitive issue no matter what era or place, and the same is true of Westeros, where several troubles collide together, making things not easy.
"Why don't you close the door?" Arya's voice drifted into the office, the sword students were always on time. She pushed the door in, caught a glimpse of the dwarf, and grinned, "Tyrion! I haven't seen you in a long time, why is it earlier than me today." β
"Robert is coming back to King's Landing?" Tyrion waved his hand at Arya to signal silence, and asked with some trepidation, "Where did you get the news, is it reliable?"
"When his herald came yesterday, I chatted with him and got out of the news, which should be true. Egg frowned, "Are you sure you don't want to go back to Castle Rock and stay in King's Landing to work on Slint?"
"Talking about Your Majesty?" Arya was neither hesitated nor annoyed - not counting her bedtime, she had been here longer than the Red Keep, and the Night's Watch office was like her second home, and she hadn't seen it at all. Walking over to the table and sitting down next to Tyrion, she unconsciously continued to interject: "He's back, he was talking to my father in the office last night when I got back, and then he had dinner with us in the Prime Minister's Tower." β
The first-hand information of this little informant can always startle people, and Iger gasped: "His Majesty is back?
"Why am I lying to you, the king and my father talked for a long time in the office after dinner, and I didn't seem to leave when I went to bed. β
οΌοΌοΌ
Egg and Tyrion looked at each other, and the atmosphere in the office froze: the king went out to quell the rebellion, returned with a great victory, but entered the city without any pomp and circumstance, and even went straight to the prime minister's residence without seeing his wife and children, not only having dinner with Eddard, but also secretly talking late at night, what was this trying to do?
"This doesn't bode well, Tyrion, or you might as well hurry back to Castle Rock and leave this matter to us. β
Arya asked, puzzled, "What's the matter, why do you want to go back to Castle Rock?"
Tyrion also sensed that something was wrong: "Arya, did anything happen in the Red Keep in the morning?" β
"No, what should happen?"
Nina interjected and reminded, "If anything happens, Lord Eddard won't let Arya out." β
"Nina has a point, if Robert really intends to take action against the Lannisters, the golden robes who came to the workshop in the morning will not come to make trouble, but to cut off my head. Tyrion breathed a sigh of relief, "Since nothing has happened in the city until now, it means that Robert has not fully embraced the rumors......
"But things can change at any time!" said Egger solemnly, "Don't forget, you yourself said that your two siblings are indeed a little too close, and your sister has never been clear in her mind, in case something happens in the Red Keep......"
"As soon as I leave now, will you and Nina manage the Night's Watch property well?" Tyrion shook his head: "Just this little that Slint has done, you just let me worry about it, settle this matter first, and I'll leave." β
"You're risking your own life!"
"I'm not afraid, what are you doing for me? I've already decided, don't fight anymore. Tyrion shook his head resolutely: "The Night's Watch industry is like my child, and now someone wants to my child, but I, the father, was frightened by an unfounded guess at a critical time and ran back to my hometown, what is it like? β
"What are you talking about, who's going to your kids?" Arya was confused and shouted in dissatisfaction: "Whoever you want, take care of me, ahhhh
"Okay, okay, take care of you. Iger replied helplessly, "We're discussing how to get rid of that nasty Genos Slint." β
"Really, yes!" Arya is always afraid that the world will not be chaotic: "What does this matter have to do with returning to Castle Rock City." β
"We have to hurry, I'll go back to Kaiyan City right away when this is done, are you okay? Tyrion urged impatiently, stared at Egger and pressed the handprint, then took the bond: "Alright, I'll go over and talk to this bastard, you wait for my news." β
"Don't I have to go along?"
"No, it's not appropriate, let me represent the Night's Watch industry this time, and let's go. β
With that, the dwarf jumped out of his chair, left the office, greeted Morris, and walked on his short legs towards the garrison Dongying opposite the office...... The fact that the two rivals are so close to each other saves a lot of trouble.
......
"You must have something to hide from me, just a Slint, how can you force the little devil to flee back to his hometown?" Arya's eyes widened and she asked, Tyrion was her best friend, and she naturally cared. "What the hell is going on, tell me quickly!"
"Slint has two thousand gold robes in his hands, and if he is in a hurry, he is a dangerous person. Egg stood up and patted the girl on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's not talk about this, let Tyrion and Slint talk, let's go to the backyard to practice." β
"You've changed the subject again!" Arya shook off his hand, "Don't make it clear, I'm not practicing swords today!"
"If you don't practice, go home quickly, my night watchman's office is a place to do business, not a place for little children to play. Egger's eyes narrowed, Arya was thin and small, weighing forty or fifty pounds, where could he be a big man who had been a soldier. Easily dragged the girl into the backyard, Egger threw her a training sword, and a reluctant sword lesson began between master and apprentice.
οΌοΌοΌ
The basic swordsmanship learned by the night watchmen emphasizes finding the opportunity to win a counterattack while protecting oneself, relying mainly on how quickly the collision is completed and how quickly it can recover from the shock and whether it can catch the opponent's flaws in the collision to determine the victory.
Generally speaking, the team with stronger physique, more strength, and better weapons has a better chance of winning.
Braavos, on the other hand, emphasizes suddenness and surprise, requiring as little confrontation as possible with the opponent, relying on stealth, feints, strength and improvisation to win.
If you look at it this way, isn't it that Braavos Water Dance is born with restraint in defensive counterattack skills? But this kind of conclusion, without the test of practice, is not easy to go casually, Water Dance as a well-known swordsmanship, the growth potential is undoubtedly extremely high. But the more complex the system, the less reliable it is, and the more skilled the swordsmanship, the more difficult it is to master - this principle is predestined: a beginner in water dancing does not necessarily outperform a swordsman who has learned the basics of swordsmanship in actual combat.
Just like the game, a normal skill proficiency is high, not necessarily worse than the magic skill that has just been acquired, and the current Egg and Arya represent these two situations respectively.
As a special swordsmanship with both assassination and performance functions, Shui Wu first lost the big advantage of "suddenness" in face-to-face daily training, and the tricks and dexterity were also suppressed by Egg, who had found some ways, with the brutal method of reducing ten guises with one force.
Of course, "how to deal with opponents with greater strength than herself" will be an eternal topic for Arya as a girl, although she was temporarily bullied by Iger with her strength, but she did not gain nothing in practice.
......
The fixed tricks had already been figured out by Egger, and now the girl had begun to use her brain, piecing together the basic movements into new combinations and combos - an attempt that was flawed at first, but it was practice, and Egger had always been conscientious and patient in his role as a "sparring partner".
Easily taking on a string of the girl's own newly invented tricks, Iger began his daily routine: "Arya, what did the king talk about with your father last night, did you hear me?"
"I won't tell you, it's a state secret!" Arya snorted, brandishing her small wooden sword, "unless you tell me why Tyrion wants to go back to Castle Rock." β
Hey...... It turns out that this little girl knows that what she said is confidential. Thinking about it carefully, Arya's mouth has always been very tight, and she is quite righteous towards her friends, and it doesn't hurt to tell her some fur, the relationship between them is so close, and she is tired of thinking about how to talk around the bush all day long: "Have you heard the rumors about the queen and her brother?" β
"You mean she slept with her brother!?"
"Well, do you believe it?"
"I don't know, what's the matter with me. β
It's none of your business, it doesn't matter if your sister's fiancΓ© is the rightful king or the evil race, Iger was amused, but didn't say much: "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, the key is what the king thinks, and Tyrion is the queen's younger brother." β
"I see, I see!" Arya immediately shouted excitedly, and then did not dodge Egger's attack, and was hit by a sword in the arm: "Ouch-"
"Well, tell me what the king and your father have to say. Egg put away his sword, "This may be at stake in the life of our good friend Tyrion, don't miss anything, and don't talk nonsense when you go back, understand?"
