At Luca's invitation, the two entered the pub and planned to have a drink. Gavin also planned to learn about the situation outside to make plans.

After a few simple greetings and pleasantries, Gavin bluntly asked Luca about the situation in Essos. In order to decide which city-state to go to, Luca said that he didn't know much about the news on the Essos continent recently. Since he was rescued by Gavin, he has been staying in the port of Old Town to recuperate.

However, because he has been in the port for a long time, he is quite familiar with the situation on the narrow sea. He advises Gavin not to travel to Essos at this time.

After Gavin asked in detail, he understood how chaotic the situation on the Narrow Sea was now.

Today's Narrow Sea is full of dangers. As a pirate lord, the Thorn family was unexpectedly defeated by the sudden rise of the new pirate king, the black shark "Earl". With no choice, the Thorn family had no choice but to lead the remaining fleet back to Lys.

At this time, the black shark "Earl" is sparing no effort to eliminate the remaining power of the Thorn family on the Stepstone Islands, causing the area to fall into extreme chaos.

Merchant ships that once only had to pay tolls could travel safely, but now they are attacked for no reason. The merchants are all in danger, and the trade routes of the Stepped Stone Islands have become in danger.

Not only that, the ambitious black shark "Earl" also conflicted with the Dornish people. The two sides have fought many times for control of the western part of the Stepstone Islands.

Any ship passing there may be sunk. This fierce conflict is still going on and may not be calmed down in a short time.

Because the war is currently raging around the Stepstone Islands, ships setting off from Old Town to Essos at this time are very rare and extremely risky.

Luca suggested to Gavin that if he must go to the continent of Essos, the best way is to go to King's Landing, and from there, take a boat to Pentos, which can effectively avoid the war.

As an important capital city in Westeros, King's Landing has frequent ship traffic at its port, and the royal fleet has long-term cruises, so the route to Pentos is relatively safe and stable.

After listening to Luca's explanation, Gavin couldn't help but ponder. If he went from Old Town to King's Landing, it would probably take nearly two months.

Normally, it only takes two months to take a boat from Old Town to Tyrosi, the nearest destination in the Essos continent.

This means that choosing to go to King's Landing and then to Essos is not only a tortuous journey, but also consumes more time and energy.

Gavin frowned, silently weighing the pros and cons of the two routes in his mind.

Soon, Gavin made a decision. He looked at Luca and asked: "Although there are few ships departing from the old town, there are still some. Can you help me contact some ships that are about to leave?" As he said, he neatly took out a few coins from his pocket. Jinlong made a few "clang" sounds and placed it firmly on the table.

"Yes, of course there is. Because of the war on the Stepped Stone Islands, any ship that transports goods to the other side can now earn 10 times more profit than before. Naturally, there are many desperadoes." Luca said excitedly He said, with greed in his eyes, he put the golden dragon on the table into his pocket.

Gavin asked the waiter for paper and pen, quickly wrote down the address of his hotel, and then handed it to Luca. "Come here and find me if you have any news. If I'm not here, leave a message for me through the hotel waiter. I'll pay you a sum of money after the incident is completed."

"Don't worry, Luka will bring you good news soon." Luka said excitedly, his voice trembled slightly with excitement, and his eyes were full of eagerness to take action.

After returning to the hotel, Gavin started preparing materials. Unexpectedly, he saw Luca the next morning.

Luca's face was full of joy and he said excitedly: "I found out about a merchant ship that is willing to set off, but their destination is Reese, and they will not set off until 5 days later. What do you think? If possible, I will take you there. Go meet the owner of the merchant ship."

Gavin silently calculated the time, and it took three or four days to prepare all the materials in advance.

He directly agreed: "Okay, I won't go see you. You can go talk to the other party. There are two people in total. I ask for an independent room and am willing to pay more for the boat fare." After sending Luca away, Gavin I immediately returned to the house and started working.

Five days later, Gavin and the Blood Dragon Guard boarded a merchant ship called the "Golden Fleece".

Considering that both Gavin and the Blood Dragon Guard were wearing lightweight leather armor at sea, the textures on the leather armor were delicate and exquisite, shimmering in the sunlight.

Each of them carried a sword. Gavin's sword hilt was inlaid with gems, and the scabbard was exquisitely carved with patterns.

In addition to the sword, Gavin also carried a bow bag in his hand. In order to prevent accidents, five hard bows were specially prepared for use in battle.

Gavin stood on the boat with the Blood Dragon Guard, looking solemnly towards Old Town.

The Blood Dragon Guard carried a large box behind him, which contained potions and ritual materials carefully prepared by Gavin.

At this time, the old town looked quiet and mysterious in the early morning sunshine.

The golden sunlight shines on the ancient buildings and winding streets, creating charming light and shadow. The rolling hills in the distance, connected with the blue sky, look like a grand picture. The sea breeze blew gently, bringing a salty breath, and the waves slapped the side of the ship, making a crisp sound.

The merchant ship set sail slowly. Gavin took one last look at the old town, then turned around, facing the sea breeze, and walked towards the cabin, but met the owner of the ship at the cabin door.

"I didn't expect it to be you, Sir Gavin. I am the owner of this ship. My name is Frank Brown." The speaker was a middle-aged man, wearing an exquisite robe, with emerald buttons glowing warmly in the sun. Wearing a huge gemstone ring on his hand, it showed his wealth, and he had a well-placed smile on his lips.

Gavin was curious when he heard the other party's name. He bowed slightly and asked, "Hello, Mr. Frank, do you seem to know me?"

Frank laughed heartily and said: "Sir Gavin, I had the honor to watch your competition in Highgarden before, and later I heard that you were canonized as a knight. It is really an honor for you to board my ship this time. I must have With a master like you accompanying me, I don’t have to worry about the safety of this trip. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to invite you to lunch later?”

After hearing this, Gavin smiled and said: "I am very honored to receive your invitation. Please allow me to put my luggage in the cabin first. I will wait until noon and I will be on time for the appointment."

Frank nodded and said: "That's natural, Sir Gavin. I'm waiting for your arrival in the captain's cabin."

Please give me more recommendation votes and support.
