Several of the sons of Davos Seaworth, Earl of Onion, were in captivity.

He really wanted to save his sons, and he wanted to save himself.

Jon Clinton's words alerted Davos to a larger conspiracy and crisis.

The current multinational coalition forces are in a very dangerous situation, and it is also possible that Kevon Lannister has taken refuge in the upcoming Targaryens. But Davos immediately dismissed the speculation, saying that Kevon was now more powerful than Clinton and that he had no reason to defect to the Targaryens.

"I promised to deliver a message to you, but I had one condition. Davos's eyes hooked on Jon Clinton. The only royal courtier to besiege Robert Baratheon during the war, his reputation for integrity and bravery has long been celebrated in Westeros.

"On what terms?"

"I'm going to take him away. Davos pointed to Edric Storm.

Davos was unaware of Shireen Baratheon's claim to the throne. In the royal lineage of Baratheon, to whom he is allegiated, Edric Storm is the only bastard that Robert has publicly admitted. In another three years, he will be able to bestow Edric Storm as a knight.

Jon Clinton said, "You can't take him with you, you're a messenger in exchange for your freedom and life and that of your sons, and it's too much more than the price of reciprocity." ”

"If you let me take Edric Storm, you'll have my respect and commitment. Davos said solemnly.

"What promise?"

"I will certainly bring your letter to Lord Will, and explain to him who you are. He may not know about the Battle of the Bells, but I do. ”

"How do you know? More than a decade ago, you were just a smuggler at sea. ”

"I owe allegiance to Stannis Baratheon, one of the few people he admired in his life. He told me the details of the war, that he could have captured Robert Baratheon alive, but you didn't start the war immediately so as not to hurt innocent people. I think my words will help Will get to know you better, but I don't know if he will come to see you in the end, and if he doesn't, I'll definitely come to see you and reply. ”

Jon Clinton pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you take the opportunity to take your family heir and take Edric Storm with you?" ”

"I am a courtier of House Baratheon, and I must first guarantee the blood of House Baratheon. Your Excellency, you are a courtier of House Targaryen, and you have always been loyal to the Targaryens, too?"

"Okay, I'll let you take Edric Storm, but I have one condition. ”

"On what terms?"

"When the Baratheon dynasty collapsed, it was no longer Baratheon who sat on the Iron Throne, but Targaryen, and I want you to be loyal to the Targaryens and do your best for this country with me in the dynasty. Jon Clinton's eyes sparkled. He has always been committed to discovering and attracting true loyalists.

Davos glanced at Edric Storm, and Jon Clinton added a quick and timely remark: "No one can be a match for a dragon." ”

"Is the dragon really already there?"

"Yes, three dragons, one blue dragon, one black dragon, one red dragon. I've always been with the people who raise dragons. ”

Davos hesitated, his allegiance was to Baratheon.

"My lord, if Baratheon wants to fight, I will fight you to the death. "I cannot deceive you now, for you are not only a man whom Stannis I admired, but also whom I admired. I don't know about Shireen Baratheon, but if I find her, I'll fight for her. ”

"None of her warriors can defeat the dragon, and she will pay with her life. Anyone who does not surrender will be killed. Jon Clinton said coldly, "Davos, if you are truly loyal, you should persuade Shireen Baratheon to be loyal to Targaryen, and the Stormlands will still be the territory of the Baratheon family." ”

Davos Seaworth was silent, he lowered his eyes, stared at the ground, and said nothing.

Jon Clinton saw that Count Onion would not change his loyalty, and Davos would not surrender unless he could convince Shireen Baratheon to submit.

"I'll give you permission to go!" Jon Clinton said, "but you can't take Edric Storm with you, because he's a member of House Baratheon." ”

Davos gave Adric Storm a heavy look, "Let me take him away, my lord, he will be beheaded by Kevon Lannister when he goes to King's Landing." He was still a child, and his status as an illegitimate child made it impossible for him to command the vassals of the Stormlands to rise up against the Targaryens. ”

"No!" Jon Clinton said flatly.

"My lord, I will do my best to facilitate the meeting between you and Lord Will, the alliance between Kaivon and Tyrell is strong, and if the Targaryen needs allies against Kaivon and Tyrrell, I will do my best to convince the forces of Baratheon to form an alliance with the Lord. ”

Alignment and surrender are two completely different things.

If the Targaryens want to return to Westeros, in addition to force, they do need allies, at least in the early stage.

"I'll keep Edric Storm safe until the alliance you said is fulfilled, and I'll hand him over to you. "Jon Clinton is no longer the Jon Clinton who would let people go if he said three good words more than a decade ago, he has changed a lot. The mercenary career and incognito experience made him feel like a stone, and only loyalty remained.

After Davos left, Jon Clinton released the letter crow to tell him that everything was going well with Prince Aegon VI Targaryen, who was waiting for him on the other side of the Narrow Sea, and that he wanted Aegon Targaryen to join his aunt Daenerys Targaryen one day sooner, and then cross the Narrow Sea and enter Westeros strongly.

*

At night, the royal forest by the Blackwater River.

Jon Clinton was ordered to rest on the spot for the night before crossing the river tomorrow.

The Elephant Corps needed specialized large ships.

The chef in charge of the catering arrives at the door of Jon's tent.

"My lord, I have boiled eggs, fried bread, beef, bacon soup, and beans for you. ”

"Okay, bring them all in, and have another jar of wine. Want...... Worst ...... Wine. ”

“...... Most...... Difference...... "The chef repeated. His eyes were on a jar of wine on the table. The wine bottle is empty.

"Yes, the worst wine!"

"Yes, sir. ”

The worst wine?Jon Clinton sighed inwardly. On the night of her parting with Prince Aegon, Madame Lymore told him to wash it with vinegar, but asking for a jar of vinegar every day would quickly become suspicious. This wasn't on the Isle of Reese, it was surrounded by his cronies and brothers, and in the Golden Knights, Jon couldn't let anyone know he had Greyscale. (In the TV series, the gray scale disease is transferred to Jorah Mormont).
