Game of Thrones: Winter Dragon Lord

Chapter 163 Mermaid Palace

Chapter 163 Mermaid Palace

The walls, floors and ceilings of the Mermaid Palace are cleverly assembled from thick wooden panels depicting various marine life.

Edric saw countless crabs, clams, and starfish under his feet. These animals were hiding in the seaweed, as well as the bones of drowned sailors.

The wall is still dark blue sea water, pale sharks, black eels, light gray octopus.

There were schools of herring and cod in the high arched windows.

The ceiling is already above the sea, and there is a painting of a battleship coming towards the rising sun and breaking the waves.

The back wall of the high platform is the most wonderful mural in his opinion, a big octopus and a gray sea monster are fighting to the death amidst the stormy waves.

Unfortunately, as Edric guessed, there are no mermaids at all.

He saw that Shirin was also attracted by these murals, but Aunt Selyse was dazzled.

She was tall, almost as tall as several knights, with a pointed face, prominent ears, a sharp nose, and a voice as sharp as a whip.

Edric knew she didn't like him, so he didn't like this aunt either.

"That's the sea monster?" Shireen asked him in a low voice.

It was an ugly monster. Legend has it that sea monsters and big octopuses would come with the storm. Some ships were swept away by the storm, but some ships were swallowed by sea monsters.

"Who is stronger, they or the dragon?" the cousin continued to ask him.

Edric thought for a while, "One is in the sea and the other is in the sky, but I think the dragons should be stronger because they can breathe fire."

Lord Manderly entertained them at the Mermaid Palace, Edric sat by a Knight of White Harbor and Shireen by her mother.

The knight asked him, "What are you doing in the North?"

Edric took a bite, "We didn't intend to come to the North, but to Storm's End."

"Oh, Storm's End, I know." The knight suddenly showed excitement, "I sent those wildlings to Storm's End with the fleet, and Marquis Julius entertained us in the castle."

"Savage?"

"It's those guys in the Mingyue Mountains."

He silently took a sip of the wine, thinking about the relationship between the Savage and Cole.At this time, he heard the fat Earl of Manderly on the main seat say to Aunt Selyse, "Madam, although the Northern Territory has also been harassed by war, Lord Stark has driven the iron people out."

Mr. Eel obviously didn't agree with his aunt's statement.

"The ancient alien gods are gathering strength, my lord." The beautiful red-robed woman said, "The cold wind has blown, and the evil power is coming. For the battle for the throne, it is just a fight of greed and desire, and in the eyes of the gods, this is no different from a meaningless fight between ants."

He saw that the Earl of Mandalay was only listening to the story of the end of the world told by the red-robed woman named Melisandre with great interest, and Edric did not believe what she said.

"Everyone in the North knows that winter is coming, ma'am. When the maester announced that winter was coming, Lord Stark told every castle that we have already started preparing for this winter. People in the North Knows what winter means better than anyone else."

Edric had never seen winter, and Maester Pylos told them that the previous winter ended before they were born, so they were summer children.

When he was a child, his nanny also told him that everyone born in Westeros will have to endure the test of winter until the day of eternal summer comes.

But Bachelor Pylos said that there are many scholars in the academy who study the climate of Westeros, and they don't agree with Yongxia's statement.

"Ice and night are the weapons of the Ability God, and His servants are also watching." The red-robed woman continued.

Edric saw the fat on Lord Manderly's face forming a kind smile, "The Stark family will lead us through every winter."

A thoughtful look flashed across the beautiful eyes of the red-robed woman. The tone of her stories was flat, and her demeanor seemed careless, which made it difficult for the listener to discern her intentions.

"Who is that lady?" asked the knight beside him.

He saw that the knight had been staring at the ruby ​​on the chest of the red-robed witch. Edric obviously felt cold, but the priest of the Lord of Light named Melisandre was only wearing a thin red robe.

"She is Melisandre, my uncle's priest." He could often see the priestess looking at himself with those bright red eyes.

After the meal, the maid brought him and Shireen a lemon cake, which he didn't like very much, but Shireen ate some, and my cousin had a small appetite.

They were placed next to the Mermaid Palace. Edric wanted to wander around the castle, but Shirene only wanted to stay in the room, so he had to walk around alone.

This was the third castle he had stayed in. The castle at White Harbor was larger than Dragonstone, but much smaller than Storm's End.

He walked past the training grounds, where soldiers were fighting, and Edric heard those people talking about Melisandre, they said that her body was stronger than the girls in the brothel, and if she could sleep for a night, she was considered a I am willing to spend a few silver deer.

Devan also said that the witch was beautiful, but Edric didn't like her.

From the hanging windows of the castle, you can see the port in the distance. White Harbor is divided into two, with two floors inside and outside. There is a market along the coast. When they passed the market, they saw many fishermen selling sea fish. Vendor.

Edric thought he was a grown man with a hammer now, and he had asked to stay and fight with the Onion Knight and Uncle Stannis at Dragonstone.

In Storm's End he learned martial arts with the knights. He could use the horse lance they trained with, and he could lift the hammer his father gave him.

He walked around the castle and returned to his residence.

They stayed in Lord Eel's castle for three days in a row. During these three days, Edric finally knew his nickname. Behind his back, the servants in the castle called him "Master Eel".

Lord Eel is very friendly to them, and every day, the maid will bring cakes and other delicacies to Shirin.

On the third day, Aunt Selyse and Ser Axell Florent decided to take them to visit the Stark family in Winterfell.

The Earl of Mandalay saw them off and sent knights to escort them.

Shireen and his aunt sat in the carriage, while he asked himself to ride a horse, and they made their way up the White Knife, Edric's first glimpse of the northern lands.

White snow can be seen on the hills in the distance, and what came into his eyes was a large expanse of wasteland. They walked for a long time without seeing any traces of people. The cold wind hit his face like a knife, and he could only stretch out his hands He clenched his cloak over his neck.

The horseshoes kept heading north, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
