Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 119 Sky
In the next week, Ian investigated the slave ship and interviewed several merchants on the list, and finally submitted the conclusion that the slave ship does not exist to Illyrio.

Although Ian himself knew the result long ago, he knew that the investigation process was also the basis for Illyrio to further evaluate his own value, so he didn't really paddle, but handled all the details seriously.

During this time together, Ian developed a good friendship with Hazru, the leader of the 'little mice'.

Ian hopes that Hazru's intelligence network will play a role in his upcoming struggle with the players hidden in Pentos.

After the investigation was over, Ian never left Illyrio's house until the end of the month.

During this time he has continued to perfect his sword skills and...trying to become a real skinchanger.

Originally, Ian wanted to buy young eagles to cultivate their relationship since childhood, but the growth cycle of eagles is not short, and Ian found that he could not afford such a time cost.

So he finally chose to let Denzel, the Dornish man, buy back a falcon that had been through the hands of the trafficker once and had worn out most of its wildness, and prepared to change shape by forcibly occupying its consciousness.

Unfortunately, his previous two attempts failed.

Today, Ian is ready for his third attempt.

After breakfast, Ian came to the courtyard outside the bedroom and walked all the way to the marble pool in the middle of the courtyard surrounded by six cherry trees.

In the middle of the pool is a statue of a naked boy, holding a Braavos assassin's dagger in his hand, in a pose about to assassinate.He was handsome and elegant, but about 16, with shoulder-length blond hair.

Ian opened the cage, and a falcon jumped out, trying to fly away.

It's a pity that a hemp rope was tied to its paws, which held it tightly, preventing it from flying high, and finally just landed on the shoulder of the painted statue in the middle of the pool.

Falcon flapped its wings twice, and soon gave up struggling after realizing that he was still restrained, and fell silent.

The next moment, Falcon and Ian rolled their eyes at the same time.

Ian only felt a sharp tearing pain in his head, and then the feeling of leaving his body.

Different from the soul out of body Ian knew, the moment Ian tried to control the falcon with alien magic, he lost all consciousness and fell into an endless emptiness.

Then he felt a force attacking him, that force impacting his consciousness, as if he wanted to defeat his will.

Soon, his consciousness began to blur.

Ian knew that this was Falcon's conscious resistance, and he stopped at this step the first two times.

For the first time, Ian felt the most intense resistance. Because he was afraid that he would be mentally damaged if he held on, his first attack was just a taste of it.

The second time, the resistance of Falcon's consciousness was obviously much weaker than the first time. Although it was still very tough, it lacked the feeling of the first time that he would rather be broken than whole.

But this time, Falcon's conscious resistance was almost only on defense, as if it was waiting for Ian to take the initiative to retreat.

But Ian didn't retreat this time. He endured the severe pain, stuck to his original heart as a human being, and launched an attack that was several times more violent than before.

Doubt, fear, trembling Falcon's last emotions spread into Ian's soul little by little.

He felt himself melting, melting into a white unknown.

The chaos came to an abrupt end, and Ian found that the will to resist had disappeared.

Falcon's remaining consciousness surrendered to him.

Gradually, Ian's senses began to recover, first of touch, then of hearing and smell, and finally of vision.

Ian Falcon stood on the shoulder of the Assassin statue, its eyes clear again.

Ian was getting used to the new vision, and everything became extremely clear in his eyes. He looked straight ahead and saw the small bugs on the leaves more than ten meters away. He looked at Case in the courtyard and found that their movements were like It's as slow as slow.

Finally, he saw himself standing on the edge of the pool, rolling his eyes with the help of Luo Er.

At this moment, he felt that in the depths of his consciousness, the perception of his original body still existed, but it was very weak.

"Cut the rope." Ian ordered in a low voice, and he found that he could still control the main body. For the time being, he could not control two body activities at the same time, but he could switch freely,

After receiving Ian's order, Case acted decisively and cut off the hemp rope tied to the falcon's leg.

The next moment, Ian Falcon flapped his wings again, soared into the sky, and flew towards the sky.

The Falcon's acceleration was very fast, and Ian felt that he had reached an altitude of hundreds of meters in just a blink of an eye.

fly?This is what it feels like to fly?
I am flying!The falcon controlled by Ian flapped its wings happily and flew to a higher sky.

This feeling of lightness, this feeling of breaking free
For a moment, Ian seemed to have left all the pressure behind him. All he thought about was freedom and flying.

higher, higher
He flapped his wings through the clouds and climbed to a higher sky.

That's the sun. The sun from this angle is so magnificent.
Wait for the sun?

What am I doing?Fuck!
The moment he saw the sun, Ian's consciousness finally came back to his senses, and he broke free from this unprecedented weird state, because at the moment he was bathed in the sun, he suddenly thought of the story of the Wings of Icarus.

This made him turn pale with fright, turned his head and swooped down to the bottom of the clouds.

"Of course, the most important thing is not to get attached to birds. They are the worst. People should not leave the ground. After staying on the clouds for a long time, you no longer want to get down. The feeling of flying is extremely obsessive.

I know some skinchangers who have tried hawks, owls, crows.When they returned to their bodies, they would also become in a trance, staring at the hapless blue sky endlessly. "The contents of the memory brought by the skinchanger skill once again surfaced in Ian's mind.

Just for a moment, almost out of control?Flying steadily over Pentos, Ian felt a sense of survival after a catastrophe.

Uh, wait for the rest of the catastrophe to have a hammer?I'm a falcon now, and my wings are real wings, not feathers glued with beeswax, and won't melt due to heat!Ian suddenly thought absurdly.

The next moment, Ian once again felt absurd about what he just thought, because this is not the world of Greek mythology. Even though he has flown to an altitude of several thousand meters, he is not really close to the sun, and the temperature here has not risen. , but extremely cold.

What's wrong with me?Because the consciousness entered the eagle's body, did the head become dull?
Not daring to stay in the eagle's body any longer, Ian quickly flew back to his courtyard, returned his consciousness to his body, and ended the shape-changing state hastily.

In just a few short minutes, he already felt a great mental load.

He needs to rest.
