"You —"
"Of course I'm going to kill you!" Hong Rogo sneered.
Just as the man in the gray robe turned around and took three steps toward the other end of the alley, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. He looked down and saw that a rapier as wide as a fingernail had pierced through his heart.
From his back to his chest, a foot-long blade stained with blood was exposed.
"Kill me?" The man in the gray robe was confused.
"Idiot, can't you tell that I'm mocking you?"
Hong Rogo stepped forward and supported the man's body to prevent him from falling. He chuckled softly in his ear. "You tried to kill me, so I killed you instead. If my peers know, I'll explain it this way.
But I don't think they'll care because we've already completed the deal. I've fulfilled my mission. "
"Why?" The man in the gray robe spat out blood.
"Why? Haha, in Braavos, there were many assassins who would kill for a silver coin, or even for a good-looking cloak.
And you gave me 20 gold coins!
Then, you should have at least one gold coin on you right now, right? One gold coin is enough for me to kill you ten times over! "
As he spoke, Hong Rogo used his shoulder to push the man in the gray robe's body while his right hand quickly searched the man's clothes.
Soon, he found a money pouch, a dagger, a rapier, and an exquisite sheepskin pouch hidden in the man's inner pocket.
"Wow, what's this? You hid it so well?"
Hong Rogo tossed the pouch. It clattered and felt heavy in his hand.
"Braavos people can't be trusted. They even violate the rights of guests. I should have known."
The light in the man's eyes began to fade.
Hong Rogo's smile disappeared. He said coldly, "Actually, I'm killing you because I'm pissed. This evening, I did something against my principles. I killed a baby!"
"I've never killed children or women. Killing you will make me feel better …"
"You … hypocrite!" The man in the gray robe was furious.
Hong Rogo was stunned. He slowly laid the man in the gray robe flat and pushed out a small single-wheeled cart from the darkness.
After half an hour of work, the man in the gray robe's body was tied to a rock and thrown into a canal called Abasad.
Red Rogo squatted under the arched bridge and opened the money pouch with an expectant expression.
"Let the Mother Of Dragons devour his soul for only thirty copper coins?!" He cursed in a low voice.
Then, he used the dagger to cut open the sheepskin pouch and took out a chain made of gold, silver, iron, copper, tin, and lead. The hope in his heart turned into a fragrant smell that gushed out of his mouth.
"Forget it. At least there's one section of gold and one section of silver. I can still sell them for some money after melting them."
At last he cut off the chain, took only the gold and silver, and threw the rest into the river.
"Gulp!"
The chain fell into the water and coincidentally landed on the neck of the gray-robed man …
.....
"You actually brought deviant ghosts to Braavos? Let the Mystic Dragon eat you! "Sea King Tormo cursed angrily.
The new Sea King was a well-built man in his early thirties. He was tall and sturdy, with long, slender limbs.
"We're just passing by Braavos. We're going to the old town," Sam said.
"If we can find a boat, we'll leave tonight," Dareon continued.
At this time, a purple-robed general entered the guest room and reported to the Sea King, "Your Majesty, someone at the dock saw a man in a green cloak leaving the Night Watchers' boat. He was limping and was holding a black wool package in his right hand."
"Ah, the deviant ghost didn't burn to death. Was he kidnapped?" Sam exclaimed.
Ulma immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please help us."
The Sea King frowned and said, "I can help you. After all, the person was lost in Braavos. However, you can't announce that you're looking for the deviant ghost.
Braavos is the world's largest and most prosperous harbor. There are many foreign merchants. I don't want the citizens and merchants to panic. Do you understand? "
"Yes, yes," Sam nodded. "We'll just say that the thief kidnapped the baby."
That night, the Sea King's purple-robed army began to patrol the city. They were looking for suspicious people. The old clothes merchants' wharf was almost locked down. After a thorough search, it was lifted before dawn.
"Whose child was kidnapped? Why is there such a big commotion?" Some merchants were puzzled.
"It must be the Sea King's son!" Someone swore.
"No, the purple-robed army said that the child was brought by the Night Watchers."
"What, the Night Watchers' son?"
.....
One spread to ten, ten spread to a hundred. The more the news spread, the more out of control it became.
The next day, when Cat was pushing the handcart to sell oysters in the canal, she heard the owner of the fruit stall and the owner of the sesame seed stall talking.
"Have you heard? A boat of Night Watchers died last night. The fire lit up the sky and even the boat sank," the old man selling fruits said.
"Yes, the purple-robed army even went to my house. I heard that the son of the Night Watchers went missing," the old woman replied.
"Sigh, in today's world, even the commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers has started to raise illegitimate children." The old man shook his head and sighed.
"The commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers, Jon Snow, has an illegitimate child?" Cat couldn't help but interrupt.
Seeing that it was a little girl selling oysters who didn't seem to be a competitor to their business, the old man and the old woman's expressions softened a lot.
"I don't know Jon Snow, but the Sea King did say that the commander-in-chief's illegitimate child was kidnapped," the old man said.
"The Mother Of Dragons, Jon is a Night Watcher and has an illegitimate child. Father is the strictest. If he's still alive and knows that Jon went back on his words, he might cut off his head with ice. "Cat turned back into Arya and muttered in disbelief.
"What did you say? You know the commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers? "the old woman shouted.
"Oh, I've heard of him." Arya's expression didn't change. She said calmly, "I'm curious. Night Watchers can't have children."
The old man sighed. "The host can't violate the guest's rights. Now —"
"The Mother Of Dragons!"
The old woman screamed in horror. She stepped forward and covered the old man's mouth. "Are you crazy? How dare you speak ill of the Sea King?"
"Wuwuwu —" The old man blushed and struggled.
Her chest was rubbed a few times. The old woman blushed and quickly let go of her hand. Her cloudy eyes flashed with shyness.
"I'm talking about the City of Knowledge!" The old man noticed the expression on the old woman's face. His skinny old face became hot.
He sneaked a glance at her. She was also looking at him. Immediately, both of them looked away.
The old man muttered, "Aren't all the singers and poets in the streets of Braavos spreading the story of how the City of Knowledge killed the Dragon Queen?"
"Oh, you said it clearly. I thought you were talking about …" The old woman looked left and right. When she saw that there was only an ugly girl in front of her, she spat out the last two words. "The Sea King …"
Erya was stupefied.
But she understood what both of them meant.
She didn't know why, but recently, almost every tavern in Braavos had a singer singing the story of the City of Knowledge's Seven Deadly Sins.
Especially when the City of Knowledge violated the guest's rights. It made everyone recall the fear of being dominated by the Wings of Death.
Ugh, Braavos was self-defeating.
Hearing the story of how the City of Knowledge violated the guest's rights, the citizens and merchants thought of how Braavos violated the guest's rights …
Big news could suppress small news, but the constant small news could only create an atmosphere and remind people not to forget about the big news.
Compared to Braavos, the largest city in the continent of Ursos, Westeros was not the center of civilization. It was a "rural place" in the free cities. Who would pay attention to a "remote" City of Knowledge in the countryside?
If it wasn't for the Dragon Queen, the City of Knowledge would not even be on the hot search list.
Now, the Sea Palace had been buying hot searches for the City of Knowledge. Naturally, Braavos itself had been on the headlines every day.
In the process of the City of Knowledge and Braavos hurting each other, Wade Frey was laughing.
"Why is the Sea King's Purple Army helping the Night Watchers find the illegitimate child?" Erya asked.
"I heard that the child is the illegitimate child of the Night Watchers and the Sea King's daughter. Of course the Sea King is worried," the old man said.
The woman waved her hand and said, "No, no, the Sea King's daughter is only 13 years old. The child is the illegitimate child of the Night Watchers' commander-in-chief and the Dragon Queen. The Dragon Queen's son is missing in Braavos. How could the Sea King not be worried? "
"Shh, do you want to die?" The old man anxiously stepped forward and covered the woman's mouth. "How dare you spread rumors about the Dragon Queen. Aren't you afraid of her eldest son, the Wings of Death? He is the Dragon God who can pluck stars! "
"Bastards, what are you doing?"
Just then, a loud shout came from the corner of the street.
It was a white-haired old man with a hunched back, holding a lunch box in his hand.
"Kopiwon, how dare you hug my wife in public?"
.....
Looking at the four old men who were fighting, Erya turned into a cat again and pushed the handcart away silently.
Well, it was noon. The wife of the old man from the fruit stall came to bring him lunch.
After that, the cat purposely went to the old clothes vendor's wharf.
There were many guesses about the mother of the kidnapped child. The Sea King's daughter, the Sea King's sister, the Sea King's seven aunts, the Dragon Queen, the daughter of a noble in the Northern Territory, Cersei, Margaery, the Princess of the Barbarians …
In short, the mother must be of noble status. Otherwise, why would the Purple Shirt Army help her find her son?
Erm, that's right. Other than the Dragon Queen, even Cersei and Margaery were innocent.
Many of the citizens of Braavos had never been to the Westeros. They only knew who the queen and queen of the Westeros were through hearsay. It was all thanks to the Queen's parade that shocked the world.
In the hearts of the citizens who were ignorant and ignorant, it was as easy as the Sea King secretly bringing the "Dragon Queen's niece" into the palace to have a relationship with the King's Landing's queen and the Night Watchers on the Great Wall.
The small island nation always liked to use their own way of thinking to infer the big country next door …
Erm, fine. The Westeros had a big territory, but it was not a big country.
But regarding the child's father, almost everyone agreed: the commander-in-chief of the Night Watchers, Jon Snow.
In fact, the person who was looking for the child was the Night Watchers!
Combining all the information, the cat was sure of one thing: other than the child, four Night Watchers were dead, the ship was burned, and Red Rogo was the murderer.
Then she was furious.
Red Rogo killed a ship's worth of Night Watchers, and possibly Jon's son, her nephew!
The House of Stark and the Night Watchers were very close. Every time a Night Watcher passed by Winterfell, Eide Stark would hold a banquet and lead the whole family to welcome the dirty and sloppy Night Watchers.
Erya also inherited her father's feelings for the Night Watchers. Her uncle and brother were Night Watchers, and the Night Watchers had saved her before.
"Red Rogo!" She muttered.
Red Rogo had officially joined her "death list".
That afternoon, the cat became Arya again. She took out the sewing needle hidden in the gap between the steps of the House of Black and White. It was a gift from Jon before he went to the Great Wall.
"All mortals have to die!"
