Chapter 399: The Awakened Assassin's Soul (Part II)

Because of the single composition of the inhabitants of the inner fort in Houguan Town, the lack of new land grants, and the lack of idlers of unknown origin, most of the people will be in a relatively relaxed state when they enter this place - typical example, the soldiers from Winterfell who are supposed to take care of their two young ladies: out of the inner fort, they will have a clear division of labor and keep an eye on Arya and Messira, and as soon as they enter, they will immediately become free-range mode.

Relying on this carelessness, Arya, who held the hilt of the sewing needle, carefully avoided the heated discussion for the dragon queen, and came to the bridge between the inner fort and the island in the middle of the lake in Houguan Town, hiding behind a house to probe this place that must be passed on the island.

Not far away, four black-clad and black-armored guards stood solemnly at the bridgehead, looking seriously at the internal employees who came and went.

How do you get through here?

Please, it's daytime, the bridge is empty and there is no cover, let alone four guards, even if there is only one, you only need to turn your head from time to time to look around, and anyone who wants to cross the bridge has nowhere to hide.

Lie that there is something going on on that island?but—the island in the middle of the lake is so small that there is no building except a tower, and the tower is already empty, so why should I go there?

Rush over? Pull it down.

Assassination is easy to say, but it's not so easy to carry out.

Arya thought distressedly, and in the corner, she sighed at her hands, rubbed and rubbed, and struggled for a long time without thinking of a way, but finally saw a slightly familiar figure out of the corner of her eye: it was Willy, the apprentice of the chef of the inner castle in Houguan Town, who often accompanied Messira to the kitchen to ask for kitchen scraps and minced meat for Tommen's kitten, and met him after coming and going. The young apprentice was carrying a wooden box at the moment, and the heat in the box suggested that it should be freshly baked food—well, for the Mad King's daughter?

Arya was secretly annoyed and jealous. If only he had some poison, as long as he secretly put a little bit of food in the food given to the mad king's daughter, and kill people invisibly, that would really be the best way to do it—the father said that poison is a woman's weapon?

Can ...... now

With an idea, she tucked the needle sheath under her garment, pressed the tip of her upturned sword and strangled it around the waistband of her trousers, and then stood out from her hiding place with a big grin, and called out to Willy, the kitchen apprentice, "Hey, you!

"Miss Stark?" the young kitchen apprentice paused, turning to her with the wooden box in his hand, "what are you doing here, I just saw that Master Egger seems to be looking for you everywhere." ”

"Hey, leave him alone. Seeing that the other party was not coming, Arya had to walk over by herself, recalling Melisandre's natural and seductive expressions, and winked at him as much as she could, "What are you doing, going crazy...... Is the dragon queen sending food? ”

This trick really worked, and the kitchen apprentice rarely talked to a girl, especially a girl like Miss Stark, and her face turned red when she was obviously very jerky and clumsy: "Yes, my master said that it must be delivered while it is hot, and this is a distinguished guest that Lord Iger personally ordered to entertain." ”

"The kitchen is very busy, you go back, I'll deliver it for you." Arya looked enthusiastic and reached out to take the box.

"What. Who would have thought that this time Willy would not be able to do it, and turned around to avoid Arya's enthusiastic help, "My master instructed me to deliver it in person!"

"My dignified Arya Stark, the sister of the Guardian of the North, will steal from you!" Arya glared, trying to scare the junior apprentice with her momentum, "Bring it!"

"No...... No......" Although the junior apprentice is still a little older than Arya, he is an ordinary child after all, and he was really shocked by her for a few seconds at first, and he trembled for a while before he mustered up the courage to shake his head, "No, everyone outside says that the Dragon Queen is very good-looking...... I...... I just knocked my hands in the kitchen and didn't see it, so I'm going to take a look. Lord Iger seems to be in a hurry with you, you ...... You'd better go back to him. ”

After that, without waiting for her to think of the next move, she walked briskly towards the guards at the head of the bridge as if she were running for her life.

The apprentice looked honest and dutiful, but he had to go to see the queen too, and the men were really big pigs' trotters! Arya was so angry that she stamped her feet, but she didn't dare to shout for fear of attracting the attention of the guards, so she could only hide back in hiding.

What's going on, according to the script, shouldn't it be that I managed to trick the lunch box and faced the guard's fierce interrogation of "I suspect you are an assassin, but there is no evidence" but was finally put in, there is no danger...... After a thrilling chase after a successful hand, did you finally get out of the way?

It's all written in the story, why can't it work when you get here!

Aria, who had been disgraced by the repeated frustrations, revisited the island in the middle of the lake in a hurry, and after being depressed for a while, she really found a new way: although the island in the middle of the pocket lake was only connected to the outside world by a wooden plank bridge, the lake was actually frozen because of the cold weather...... Although I don't know the thickness, I am small and lightweight, so I should be able to walk over safely, and there is no need to fight with the guarded bridge!

Arya, who had found a shortcut to the island, became excited, turned away from the hideout, and hummed a song as she pretended to be relaxed, and walked through the gaps and corridors between the houses, and went around to the shore of the lake on the other side, away from the bridge, and looked down at the lake:

When the lake is frozen, the snow accumulates without touching the water, and the ice surface is smooth and smooth, so the howling wind easily sweeps the snow away from the center of the lake and pushes it to the shore, and when it is connected with the snow that is already on the shore, it is difficult to distinguish where the water is and where is the shore. The only occasional potholes that presumably indicate where the shoreline divides the lake are – they have been dug and smashed to get water through the openings, but they are empty at the moment.

Arya remembered: In order to protect this precious water source and prevent residents from abusing or dumping garbage and excrement into it, the master has always stressed that you should not approach the small lake without permission. Fishing in the ice in the middle of the lake was an operation that could only be carried out with his own approval, because there were few small fish in the lake, and it would be completely forbidden without distinguished guests, and Arya herself had only eaten the fish in this pocket lake twice...... The taste is quite delicious, but the amount is small.

By recalling these details, Arya was able to determine two things: first, that her weight would be fine through the ice, and second, that she had to be careful of the holes left over from fishing in the middle of the lake, which might have been hidden by the subsequent re-freezing and snow, and that they looked similar but were certainly not thick enough to be dangerous to step on.

If you accidentally fall into the ice lake and drown, I don't know if the master will be annoyed and cry bitterly?

Imagining it like this, Arya unconsciously took on the role of "drowned girl" and felt a sour nose...... After wandering around the lake for half a circle with this desolate state of mind, she finally found a thick and long branch that satisfied her. Picking it up and knocking it off, she used a branch as a crutch and embarked on a long journey across the ice.

Well, in fact, the shore of the lake is only a few dozen meters away from the island in the middle of the lake, and no matter how careful you are to stop and be cautious, it will be there in a few minutes. The short ride was thrilling, as Arya leaned on a tree branch to dodge two ice holes hidden under the snow for fishing...... When she reached the middle of the lake and the island, the ice under her feet creaked a few times, so frightened that she quickly lowered her body, shared her weight with her hands and feet on the surface of the lake, and walked the last journey in embarrassment.

Panting, she finally touched the island. Now, she was less than ten meters away from the Mad King's daughter, and a stone wall away.

Leaning against the outer wall of the tower, she cautiously walked in the direction of the tower's entrance, and then heard the voices of two men again.

......

"Do you feel it? Guard Armor said in a deliberately low voice, "The queen has a strong aura, I just followed Lord Egg to meet her on the playing field, and I was so frightened that I couldn't speak, but fortunately it wasn't my turn to speak." ”

"Hey, you feel it too? I thought it was the illusion that I was frightened by the dragon. Guard B answered, "If it weren't for the fact that the adults didn't speak, I wouldn't dare to move, I really wanted to kneel down at that time." ”

"Me too! This is certainly not an illusion, the queen is still a little scary after the dragon flies away!" A sighed, "The commander-in-chief is worthy of being the commander-in-chief, not only is the dragon's face not changed, but even the words are still smooth and fluent, and the queen is still close to the usual routine, I see that the queen's face has obviously improved a lot." ”

"Yes, there is always something good about the bulls, otherwise anyone can be the commander-in-chief. B agreed, "Hey, you say, did the dragon queen stay with the dragon for a long time and was contaminated with dragon power, or was she born like this?"

"I think it's like this, doesn't it mean that she is a dragon, the mother of those three dragons. Isn't it normal to have Longwei?"

"Nonsense, which magical version are you listening to, those three dragons were hatched by her killing her husband and then holding dragon eggs with blood magic, not born by herself!"

"What you heard is the version of the, her husband was killed by witchcraft, not by her! She has real dragon blood, and the anger in her heart brewed after her husband was murdered, and he condensed into a dragon fetus from nothingness, and then gave birth to three dragon eggs!"

"Have you ever seen how big a dragon egg is, the queen is so slender, how can she give birth to something so big!"

"Maybe she hasn't taken off her pants in front of me, maybe the dragon queen's underneath is different from a normal woman. ”

......

Men are really big pigs' trotters, and they can talk about anything to the lower half of their bodies. Arya took a sip and cautiously peeked out: two somewhat familiar logistics soldiers, dressed in black and black armor, standing outside the entrance of the tower, with their backs against the door, facing the direction of the plank bridge connecting to the opposite bank, chatting with each other.

For the first time, Arya hated the master's meticulousness: it was too much, and she sent so many people to protect the Mad King's daughter, leaving no chance for the assassins!

What to do this time?

Find out what to make to trick these two guys away? This island is so big!

Straight up and lie to them that they have something to bring to the Queen? The Old Gods are on top, and even they know them well, how can they not know themselves as Miss Stark!

So, rush up and take them both out while they're unprepared?

Not...... It was possible, but Arya muttered to herself as she looked at the size and equipment of the two big guards. No, no, forget it, if you kill these two of the master's most trusted guards, the master will definitely be angry, how can I explain to him when the time comes.

Besides, he is an assassin, and the assassin is to infiltrate and assassinate, and Kai Wushuang rushes in, so can he still be called an assassin!

This is not called cowardice, this is called dedication.

Is there a hole in the tower that you can get into? You can climb up and drill through the windows like Bran did when he was a child!

She raised her head and looked at the top of the tower, but when she turned her head, she found a large black shadow beside her, and she was so frightened that she almost sat down in the snow, and when she looked at it, it was actually the master—when he looked at the two guards at the door, he somehow quietly walked behind him, and under the cover of the howling wind, he didn't even notice it!
