In the darkness, there was only a small speck of light left in the torch.

The voices of the two people talking were no longer inaudible.

Only then did Arya dare to sneak along.

“…… Need...... More birdies......"

“…… I can arrange ......"

“…… Young...... Literacy ......"

“…… to be safe...... Risk ......"

Arya didn't dare to follow too closely, and on several occasions she almost lost her sight, and kept moving forward, almost kicking a stone and almost hitting a wall halfway, but fortunately, there was no danger.

She didn't know how far she had gone, maybe miles?

Eventually, she lost it.

Lost in the darkness, she could only grope her way through the walls.

I don't know how long it took for her to finally see the light.

Arya smelled the salty sea breeze and rushed out excitedly, and then saw the endless Blackwater Bay.

At sunset, a few seagulls swept across the sea, and countless white sails crowded into the harbor, like flags.

Only then did Arya realize that she had actually come out of the Red Keep.

Fortunately, as long as she was still in King's Landing, she could see the Red Keep that stood tall above the Aegon Hills, and Arya wouldn't get lost.

She quickened her pace, for fear that she would miss dinner if she returned late, and she would be scolded by her father again.

However, when she arrived outside the gate of the castle, the golden-robed guard looked at her with disgust and drove away:

"Get out of here, boy, this is not the place for you."

"But I live in it." Arya shouted.

The golden-robed guard laughed: "Then I'm still the king." ”

Arya knew she must be in a mess now, her clothes were covered in dust, her hair was disheveled, her shoes were missing, and she really didn't look like she lived in a castle.

"I'm Arya of House Stark, my father is the Hand of the King, and I literally live in the Red Keep." She tried to explain it well.

It's a pity that the golden-robed guard still doesn't believe it: "Boy, the story is well written, but you got the wrong gender, Miss Arya is a girl." , I'm going to hit someone if I don't leave! ”

"I'm not a brat!" Arya was angry, "If you don't let me in again, I'll let the King's Hand fire you!" ”

"Get out!" One of the golden-robed guards scolded angrily and swung his fist at Arya.

It's a pity that she deftly dodged it.

"Stop."

Arya heard a familiar voice behind her, she turned her head, and suddenly showed a smile of surprise:

"Lord Caesar!"

"Arya. How did you get out of the Red Fort? Samwell couldn't help but smile and shake his head as he looked at the little girl who was even dirtier than he had seen before.

Sure enough, it's the "troublemaker" Arya.

"I'm catching cats, and then I'm in a black hole......" Arya hesitated for a moment, not saying what she overheard, "...... Later, I didn't know what was going on, so I ran outside the Red Fort. ”

Samwell's heart fluttered when he heard this, this little girl wouldn't have slipped into the secret passage of the Red Keep.

That's a great place!

Samwell was worried that he couldn't find it.

"Let's go, I'll take you in." Samwell took Arya's hand and walked towards the door.

Of course, the golden-robed guard knew the young baron who had just won the championship of the martial arts tournament, and hurriedly bowed down to salute, and at the same time secretly surprised-

That dirty boy is really the daughter of the Hand of the King?

"Lord Caesar, are you out on an errand?" Arya asked, tilting her head.

"Yes." Samwell heard the news of the "Red Viper" attack on Petyr Downtown, and ran to see the excitement.

It's a pity that he was one step too late, and both were taken away by the hand of the king.

Hearing that Petyr had had had his arm cut off, Samwell secretly had fun for a long time.

But this is clearly not the end for Petyr.

Next, he will stand trial on suspicion of murdering Jon Arryn.

It's up to you to do something this time.

Passing through the bronze gate, the two entered the Red Keep, and Samwell suddenly asked:

"Arya, can you show me the place where you caught the cat before?"

"Yes." Arya nodded, "Do you want to go now?" ”

"Yes." Samwell was a little impatient.

Because he knew that there was something good in that secret passage.

So, led by Arya, the two of them went to the hidden cellar entrance again.

However, the entrance is small, and the passage inside is so narrow that Samwell can only crawl into it.

Fortunately, he has lost weight, otherwise he would really be stuck here.

After climbing through this passage, Samwell came to a large space.

"Come, Lord Caesar, those monster bones are here." Arya beckoned from the front.

Samwell waited for his eyes to adjust to the darkness before moving on.

After pushing open a wooden door, he saw dark shadows one after another.

Samwell resisted the excitement in his heart, reached out and grabbed the giant sword [Dawn] behind his back, and slowly pulled it out.

As the milky white sword body showed reddish-gold lines, the fire-like light dispelled the darkness around it.

"Wow! Lord Caesar, your sword will be on fire! Just like that red-robed warrior monk! Arya exclaimed.

Samwell didn't bother to argue that his sword was not the same thing as the red-robed monk's flaming sword, he just wanted to see what he had been waiting for for a long time—

Dragon's skull!

He thought the dragon's bones would be intimidating, but when he saw through the light of the Dawn fire, he saw that they were so beautiful!

The dark bones were like agate, smooth and shiny, shining in the light of the fire.

Such a terrifying beast, but the bones left behind are so thrillingly beautiful.

It's unbelievable.

"It's so beautiful!" Arya also exclaimed, just now in the dark, she was frightened by these things, but now after seeing them clearly, she felt that they were not scary at all, but she couldn't help but reach out and touch them, "Are these crystal sculptures?" ”

"Nope. They are the remains of a giant dragon. ”

"Dragons?" Arya was startled and quickly removed her hand.

"Yes, dragon. The Targaryens' once most terrifying war machine is here. Samwell brought [Dawn] closer to the skulls, and the fire seemed to be brighter.

The bones seemed to welcome the sword, or, rather, the fire.

The dragon in front of him was only a skull, and there were nineteen in total, some large and some small.

Arya pointed to the two smallest of the skulls and asked, "Are these two also the bones of a dragon?" How is it so small? ”

"Those were the last two dragons hatched by the Targaryens, and they were deformed and short-lived." Samwell's eyes twinkled as he looked at the two skulls about the size of a normal hound.

"Oh." Arya looked at the largest dragon skull again, "That must be the Black Death' Bellerion, right?" ”

"Yes." Samwell walked over and stood in the mouth of Bellerion's blood, feeling the horror of this terrifying beast up close, "Legend has it that the 'Black Death' can swallow an entire bison in one bite, but now it seems that it is really not an exaggeration. ”

Arya also stood cautiously inside, and found that even with two people standing, there was still room in the gap.

"It's huge!" The little girl exclaimed, "Just one head is so big, how terrible the whole dragon must be!" ”

Samwell couldn't help but imagine what the giant beast in front of him looked like when it was alive, when it spread its wings, soared into the sky, and spat flames.

When Aegon Targaryen landed in King's Landing, he had an army of less than 2,000 men, and no one thought he would be able to gain a foothold on the continent, let alone conquer the Seven Kingdoms.

But he also has three dragons—

Bellerien, Miracis, and Waghar.

Named after the ancient gods of Valyria, these three dragons have shown their power in wars that do not belong to the mortal world.

In the most famous battle, "Burning the Plain", the combined forces of King Kaiyan and the King of Riverbend were burned to death by the flames of three dragons, including the King of Riverbend and all of his descendants.

After this battle, the people of Westeros finally recognized the invincibility of the dragon, and the seven kingdoms finally surrendered to the Iron Throne one by one.

But alas, just over a hundred years later, the dragon became extinct.

The Targaryens, who lost their dragons, were also ousted from the Iron Throne during the War of the Revenators.

These keels, which were supposed to be placed in the throne room, were also left in this corner by the new king Robert.

Samwell retracted his thoughts and looked at the keel in front of him, and the longing in his heart resurfaced again.

As someone who aspires to become a "master of otherworldly cuisine", how can you not taste the taste of a dragon?

So he came to one of the teeth of Bellerien's skull, and the greatsword in his hand was raised high.

"Lord Caesar, what are you going to do?" Arya asked.

"Take a souvenir with you." Sam Will laughed, and the long sword in his hand slammed down!

Clang!

Sparks splash.

However, there was only a small gap in the dragon's teeth, and the force of the shock caused Samwell to grin for a while.

The dragon's bones are so hard!

He couldn't swing the second sword anymore.

It seemed that Bellerien's bones could not be taken for the time being, so Samwell had no choice but to go to the smallest one, a skull about the size of an ordinary hound, and take it whole.

Although this dragon is deformed and short-lived, it is also a dragon and should have the same effect.

Go back and boil some bone broth and drink it.

"Let's go, Arya, do you remember the road ahead?"

Arya shook her head hesitantly, "There's still a long way to go...... I'm afraid I'm going to get lost, I used to follow two people......"

"Two people?" Samwell's heart moved.

"Yes, a fat man, and a man from the other side of the Narrow Sea, and they were talking about Littlefinger, and the Red Viper, what bastard of the king, oh, and mentioning your and my father's names, and what strange things about magicians, juggling, and so on."

Samwell was speechless.

The little girl didn't understand what she heard, so she recounted it in a mess, but he had already guessed who the two were.

Moreover, it also reminded him of a plot in the original book and a problem that he overlooked......

"And do you remember where the last exit of the secret passage leads?"

"Hmm." This time Arya nodded heavily, "Leading to Blackwater Bay, coming out is a cliff where you can see King's Landing." ”

"Okay." Samwell looked at the darkness ahead, his eyes flashing, "Let's go, let's go back the way we came, and next time I have a chance, I'll take you on an adventure." ”

"Good!"
