Chapter 382 Another red robe

Qyburn sensed the indulgence in Igor's tone and closed mouth.

Yesterday, he saw the erudite and kind side of Lord Commander of the Night's Watch; today, he saw the other side of his dictatorship—and of course, dictatorship isn't all derogatory here. Disobedience is indeed a bad trait most of the time, but if the person who insists on his own opinion relies on sufficient reason and keen judgment, makes a well-thought-out decision, and finally proves to be the right thing, that can " Without his silhouette", it will be great again.

Whether the sword is melted or not depends on personal opinion, it is not a matter of principle, let alone right or wrong. However, after a little thought, Qyburn could smell more from Igor's last words: Lord Commander, seems to despise Aegon the Conqueror and his sisters?

No, not right. It is more like arrogance than contempt. The boss of oneself, the highest commander of the Wall defenders, seems to think that oneself will become a more famous figure than the founder of Targaryen Dynasty and the Conqueror of the unified Seven Kingdoms.

Is this arrogance or self-confidence?
Most of the answers will be revealed by time.

They shuttled through the crowded streets, and because Daenerys had recently rode a dragon to show his power over King's Landing, under the great deterrence of dragon flames, they took refuge in the city. The inhabitants are much smaller than ordinary wars. The Blackwater Rush is of course much warmer than the land grant, but after all, winter has completely come, and because of the greater humidity by the river and the ocean, the human body feels less comfortable. But the good news is that the stench that originally enveloped the city in the Seven Kingdoms capital is much lighter than I remembered, and I don't know... The Daenerys scared away some residents, the temperature dropped, and the industry began to build toilets. Which of the reasons is more responsible?
There are a few beggars in ragged clothes curled up on the street. Due to the cold weather, the children who used to run around barefoot are nowhere to be seen. They left the square, turned into the Street of Steel, and began to ride the long Victoria along the path. The Sonnian Hills, full of Smiths working at the forge along the way, but there are far fewer bargaining customers for no other reason - all the shops in the Street of Steel are now gearing up for King Stannis' army, No private life.

The higher they rode, the taller the Smith Shop, a class that exists within the industry as well, and is similar to the rules elsewhere in King's Landing: the better the skill, the higher the status, the higher the altitude. also higher. The person they were looking for lived on the top of a hill nearly 100 meters high and ran a huge weapons shop made of wood and plaster, with floors high enough to overlook the narrow alleyway below.

The two doors of the shop are made of ebony and Weirwood, with a hunting picture engraved on it, a pair of stone carvings of Knights guarding the entrance on both sides, wearing red steel in the shape of Heavenly Horse. The armor is in the form of a griffin and a unicorn, respectively.

Igor wasn't the only visitor. Several horses were already tied to the stakes at the door, and there were people standing by, even holding a long dark flag. Seeing that the best "parking space" was occupied, he could only choose to lead someone to tie the horse to the other side of the door, and leave one person behind before walking to the store door.

Before entering it, he heard quarrels coming from the shop.

"Your Excellency, this is a piece of equipment reserved for King Stannis' army commanders, you really can't take it with you!"

"Armor weapons are built, not just for people to use After we equip it, we must be in order to Stannis Your Majesty to defend the Seven Kingdoms, why can't we buy it? How much is the price, even if it is reported, it will definitely not cost you a copper!"

"This is not money My lord...it violates the king's order of His Majesty, and we ordinary people will lose their heads!"

When I entered the city, Igor had already sent someone to say hello, so When the waitress in the store saw the entire group wearing black clothed, she immediately guessed their identities and quickly announced: "Mr. Mott, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is here!"

......

Igor only stepped in the door at this time, and was very upset to find that oneself seemed to have run into a dispute, and his head suddenly became big: in the sales lobby of the shop, which was hung or filled with weapons and armor, there were several visitors who were obviously uninvited guests. The person was blocking a man who was slightly short but not thin. The besieged was wearing a black velvet coat with a hammer pattern embroidered with silver thread on the sleeves, and a heavy silver chain around his neck with a sapphire the size of a dove egg, obviously not an ordinary clerk.

Combined with the three words I heard before entering the door, it is easy to judge what happened at the scene: someone wanted to forcibly buy some non-commodity goods, but was rejected by the staff, the two sides were arguing... and Igor suddenly appeared with Nina, Melisandre, Qyburn and a group of guards at this time, interrupting the strong buy.

The reason why I have a big head is not because I am afraid of things, but because Igor really has no time and mind at the moment to play with the road and see the injustice - Tobho's Smith is located in the King's Landing row Number One, and he is the emperor all the year round. Great characters such as relatives and prime ministers build equipment, and those who dare to make trouble here are definitely not ordinary people. And oneself intends to quickly finish the business and leave the city from King's Gate, board the Blackbird and leave here before dark, and return to the land-grant with a ship full of salt. If you get into trouble for no reason, oneself is not afraid of being bullied because there are a lot of people and a witch, but if you delay going out of the city, you have to find a place to spend the night, not to mention the trouble of finding a place to spend the night. of.

Unfortunately, the person he's looking for on this trip is the shopkeeper here, and he wants to turn his head and leave, but it's impossible... Right now, he can only count on oneself with these tall and strong, fully armed Night's Watch soldiers to be able to hold back Live the scene, and the other party is also reasonable.

The person in the store who was surrounded saw Igor entering the door with a large group of people, as if he had run into a life-saving straw, he got rid of the troublesome people surrounding oneself and ran to them. I don't know if he was intimidated by a lineup of Night's Watch... The people who were making trouble did not stop him and let him leave, and looked towards the new group of visitors who poured into the gate.

Igor, who was stared at by several pairs of eyes, also quickly looked at the other party: the leader was a young noble man with black satin star pattern cloak and golden red hair. The purple lightning streaking across the night sky, can't remember which family's coat of arms... Following this nobleman, there is a slender, freckled red-haired boy, a brawny with a dagger and a long sword on his belt man , and a tall, slightly fat red robe man.

Igor didn't know any of these people, but in the end this man caught his attention: in this world, due to the high cost of high-end dyes, very few people wear brightly colored clothes - A red robe so bright on the guy in front of me, oneself has only been seen on the Moqorro next to Melisandre and Daenerys.

Who is this, another Red God priest?
Igor looked towards the Red Woman beside him with inquiring eyes, but seeing that she didn't need to remind, he was already staring at the red robe man opposite with a frown, and spoke in a bad tone.

"Thoros of Myr, what are you doing here?"
