In the evening, Eddard Stark and his captain of the guard, Jory Kesso, came out of the King's Gate, and followed the instructions on the note to the southernmost dock, where someone had been waiting by the ship in the night, and as soon as he arrived, a silent attendant took Eddard Stark aboard the Tempest.

It was a very large two-story merchant ship with a tall mast that could not be seen in the night. Under the light of the torch, the paddle port on the first floor of the boat was visually inspected, and there were at least eighty oarsmen on one side.

The sailors on the ship were dark-skinned, and their accents were freedmen on the other side of the Narrow Sea. Maybe it's from the insatiable Tylosi, maybe it's from the poison-rich Reese, or maybe it's Mill ......, who is famous for producing the Mill telescope

"Lord Eddard, here. Petyr the Littlefinger dodged out at the entrance of the stairs on the ground floor, "My lord, is there anyone watching you all the way?"

"We came out of the back door of a blacksmith's house at the Steel Gate, and then through two alleys, through the front and back doors of several shops, and detoured from the Lion's Gate to the King's Gate, and I think the people who were under surveillance were also thrown off. Eddard Stark said coldly.

"In that case, please come with me, sir. Littlefinger's head sank.

Eddard Stark whispered to Jory Kesso, "Be careful, let's go down." ”

"Yes, sir. Jory Kesso tightened his grip on the hilt of the daggle.

They descended from the staircase, and a fishy smell came to their faces.

"Ahead, sir!" said Petyr's figure beckoned at the end of the hallway.

The space under the board is actually enough, Eddard Stark doesn't have to bow his head, but the light is very dark, the aisle looks mottled, and the lower room is originally for sailors and servants, etc., and sundries and seafood are also piled up on the lower level, so the smell is terrible.

"Your Excellency, why don't we go up. Jory Kesso said.

This ship is very high, it should be more than two layers on the surface, it is possible to divide the ship into several layers under the plank, once it goes deeper, if Littlefinger has an ambush and knives down, he and Ed have no chance to escape at all.

"If there's anything wrong, kill Littlefinger first. Ed said in a deep voice.

"Yes, sir. ”

Turning the hallway, there was a downward staircase in front of me, and Littlefinger's voice shouted below, "Lord Eddard, below." ”

Eddard Stark went down the stairs, another hallway, Littlefinger's figure flashed in the farthest door, Eddard Stark chased after him, pushed the door open, and inside was a huge room, there were three people: Will the Man in Black, Robb Stark, and Petyr the Littlefinger. Behind the three of them was a huge wooden box familiar to Eddard Stark, filled with things that Eddard Stark was familiar with, visible through the cracks in the wooden box.

"Robb, aren't you and your crate supposed to be on the Wind Witch?" said Eddard Stark's face grim. He doesn't like to play these tricks, and if Robb Stark is also involved, can he just say bad to himself?

Jory Kesso, however, was relieved, and he smiled at Robb Stark and Will the Man in Black, and let go of the hilt of the dagger.

"The Witch of the Wind, everyone's eyes are on us, so we've got another Tempest. Will smiled.

"You deliberately used the northernmost Wind Witch to attract everyone's attention, and in the last few days you have sent people to carry those large wooden boxes full of goods on board the ship on purpose?"

"Yes, Lord Eddard. ”

"So what are you doing with so many big wooden boxes here?"

"Lord Eddard, the Great Wall Night's Watch is short of supplies, these millet, noodles, beer, wine, all kinds of fruits, meat, swords and weapons are all supplies for the Great Wall Night's Watch. As for the silk, it could be shipped back and sold to the nobles of the North. ”

Robb Stark said, "Father, the real purpose of the wooden box is to hold the keel of the good man. ”

"Keel?man?"

"Yes, there will be boxes of keels tonight, and the people, already two. Littlefinger said, "Tomorrow will be filled with more." ”

Little Finger reached out and dragged out a large wooden box, he was small, but it seemed to be infinitely powerful, the huge wooden box was effortlessly dragged by him, lifted the lid of the wooden box, and took out the silk on it, and there was a slight snoring sound inside.

Ed and Jory Kesso take a look: two strangers dressed in Alchemist's Guild clothes. Looking at the ornamentation on their clothes and cuffs, they are two alchemists of the highest rank.

"Alchemists Adonis and Jarvis, the president of the Alchemists' Guild and his assistants. "I wanted to convince them to become a night watchman at the Wall and help us refine wildfires, but they refused. However, for the sake of a box of gold coins, they taught me how to use ancient scrolls of fire magic to restrain the defensive magic of the walls of the Red Keep. ”

The walls and buildings of the Red Keep are protected by dragon fire magic. Once heretical magic enters, such as the shapeless black magic of the Facelings, it will be restrained. However, the alchemist's fire-attribute magic scroll has a cracking effect on the magic mark of the Red Keep, and they are the same magic.

When the dragon disappears, so does the alchemist's magic. In the same way, when the dragon returns, the alchemist's fire magic returns.

Will the dragon come back?

Will knew, would, and soon.

Within the Red Keep, the dragon's magic sigil has always existed, just like the magic sigil of the Great Wall of Desperation.

"The Great Wall of Desperation refining wildfire?Lord Will, what exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course, it's to prepare for the future fire party for the strange ghosts that Lord Will said he said. Littlefinger Petyr laughed, "I would have never believed in a stranger, but after listening to the series of plans and goals that Lord Will had come here this afternoon, and my participation tonight, someone's mind is now seven points convinced." ”

"And three more?"

"I'm going to see it outside the Great Wall for myself. Petyr the Littlefinger laughed, "Now that I'm done here, I've decided to go to the Land of Eternal Winter outside the Great Wall to see what the wraiths look like." ”

"Oh, so your note told me to come here and tell me the truth about Lord Jon Arryn's death, but that's not the case?"

"Of course there is the truth, but Lord Will and Master Robb Stark think you need a big wooden box more than the truth of the matter. Littlefinger laughed.

Eddard Stark's face was as gloomy as the winter sky: "Littlefinger, this joke isn't funny at all. His gaze pressed Robb.

Robb's eyes flickered slightly.

"Not a joke. Will said lightly, "Big Gilly." ”

Big Gilly appeared at the door of the room, holding a short repeating crossbow in her hand: three consecutive shots, and the crossbow had been pressed into the bowstring. (There are already repeating crossbows in the world of Fire and Ice).

Big Gilly's crossbow was aimed at Eddard Stark.

Jory Kesso was incredulous: "Lord Will, such a joke is excessive. Robb Stark ......"

Robb Stark lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Jory Kesso reached for his knife.

"Jory, don't move. Da Jili said lightly, "Otherwise, you will die!"

The repeater was aimed at Jory Kesso's throat.

Neither Jory nor Ed wore helmets or neck armor, and their clothes had thin chain mail underneath.

No one doubted Da Jili's words, and her voice was so calm that it froze in the blood.

"Jory, don't move. Eddard Stark exclaimed.

The corners of Little Finger's mouth rippled with a narrow smile, and he took an empty large wooden box, opened it, and the fur cushion was already laid inside: "Lord Eddard, please enter the wooden box!"
