"I'm kidding, I'm really kidding"
Sitting by the fire in the camp, Lan said to Ed with a heartfelt and extremely sincere expression.
Ed also sat by the fire, and Jory on the other side was re-bandaging his wounds.
When a group of people saw the Duke and his entourage who were patrolling forward, all covered with blood and returning with reduced numbers, they all felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
It was not until Ed briefly explained the whole story to them that they relaxed.
"I know you don't mean it, Lan En. But it's a promise"
Ed's face was full of confusion.
For a knight who can be called an old-fashioned knight, he even mentioned Stark's name when he made the promise, which means swearing by his family.
If you want him to break this agreement, it is better to kill him directly
But on the other hand, isn't this equivalent to selling your daughter
"Ed, forget this agreement."
Lan En looked serious and spread his hands in front of his chest, as if he were playing an accordion.
"To be honest, I am a person who has no fixed abode and likes wandering and adventure. If Alia is forced to live with me because of your promise, then you will probably never see each other again in this life. And I I don’t want to go out with a little kid, so let’s just stop it and treat it as a joke.” Aaliya sat next to Lan En with a very calm expression.
She knew that Lan En was about to return to his original world, and when he was in another world, she also wanted to go home according to her own will.
So, although I really like the feeling of taking risks with Lan En, I can still rationally accept Lan En's excuse.
But when Lan En said she was a little devil, the little girl secretly stepped on the tip of Lan En's boot and then crushed it twice.
"If you feel that it is really detrimental to the honor of the family, then I, the person making the agreement, will declare that I give up my ownership of Miss Aaliya, and the reward will be converted into silver equal to her weight."
< p>"That's okay"Ed looked at his little daughter, then at Lan En, who had a sincere expression, pursed his lips and nodded.
He does value family honor, but he is also a father who loves his daughter.
It would be best if this matter could be settled like this.
After Gregor Clegane's body was carelessly placed on the King's Road, the road back to the north was indeed as Ed expected. It became a lot easier.
It seems that Tywin Lannister already knows that among the returning team of the Duke of the North, there is a wizard who can crush the magic mountain and burn him alive.
Although I don’t know if they believe it or not, at least since that day, Lan En and the others have never encountered an interception force that wanted to attack head-on.
Only sporadic measures of road damage impeded their progress on the King's Road.
But it penetratesIt is impossible for this small number of manpower to cause any decent damage to the King's Avenue. It is like fighting three poles if there are dates but no dates.
During the several days of rapid marching, Arya and the cavalryman who lost half of his hand rode on the same horse. The little girl was responsible for holding the reins, and Nymeria ran behind.
Edder was very surprised when his little daughter learned this skill. He had never taught Arya how to ride in Winterfell, and he had no time in King's Landing.
This is the little girl’s answer.
"I have learned it a long time ago. It is not difficult, and the emotions of horses are easy to sense. I have also ridden on horses taller than this."
Blue Well, I knew she was talking about Poppa.
But he was able to ride on Poppy in just a few days, and even mastered the basic riding skills. Aria's talent in training, or communicating with animals, quite caught Lan En's attention.
After leaving the edge of the royal territory, Ed and the escorts became much more relaxed again.
They understand the local situation better than Lan En, a person from another world, and a little girl like Aria.
Although the Riverland is small, it is also an area with many nobles, and many castles have been built in it.
These castles are loyal to Eddard's father-in-law, the Tully family.
So when the team came to the Riverlands, they didn't even have to sleep in the open air, but were well entertained by the castles along the way.
Even when passing by the Tully family's city, the owner arranged a dinner for him.
Although Tywin Lannister used his family's gold to exert influence on many families in Westeros, the situation of this war cannot be simply measured by money.
King Robert has issued an order to summon all the vassals from the Stormlands, the territory of Baratheon, which is directly under the king, as well as Dragonstone, the fiefdom of the king's second brother.
The North and the Riverlands must be on the side of the king because of their kinship.
In the valley ruled by the family of Jon Arryn, the former prime minister, many vassals were clamoring for justice for the lord's unnatural death and to carry out righteous revenge.
Under the general trend, the families who had received Tywin's benefits now wanted to bury all their gold in the ground to avoid causing trouble.
Lan En has been walking among the team in a tourist mood. As the days go by, the entire team is getting closer and closer to the Neck, which is the entrance to the North.
Ed and the guards were mostly feeling more and more comfortable, but Lan En could feel that Aria was becoming a little depressed.
The Neck is the place where they came into this world, and it is also the place where Lan En will leave.
"I thought you were mentally prepared, Alia."
Riding beside Alia, the guard with half of his hand broken off was left in the river. The Tully family rested.
"As I said, we are friends, but friendsFriends will always part ways. "
"Yes, you said it, but I just can't bear to see your world. Magic, monsters, and sorceresses are all so interesting."
The little girl lowered her head and said listlessly.
"Your world is also very interesting. There are dragons, several continents that communicate with each other, and ancient civilizations. I stayed here for a few months, and these things got into my ears. "
Lan En waved his hand.
"You are still young now, but when you grow up and have practiced what I taught you, you can experience these interesting things by yourself. thing. ”
“Of course I will go. Not only will I go, I will also become a knight like you, a female knight who will help the weak and wield a sword against the powerful evil”
"Hey, I'm not a knight, I'm just a demon hunter." After laughing, Lan En looked at the little girl gently.
"But if you can really become that kind of person, so will I. You will feel that the time we spend together is somewhat helpful to you. ”
“Now, it’s time to say goodbye to friends and reunite with family. Alia. "
Lan En solemnly stretched out his hand. Aaliya looked down, pursed her lips with difficulty, and shook it hard.
"Goodbye, friend. ”
On the night when the team entered the Neck, Lan En said goodbye to Ed.
He said that the amount of silver equal to Aria’s weight would be collected later.
After saying that, he removed Balerion's mandible from the cart, mounted it on his horse, and turned into the dense swamp forest.
The roar on his neck. The bear head necklace was rustling.
Others thought it was a jolt, but Arya knew very well that it was the demon hunter's badge sensing the magic of chaos.
The silver-haired young man on the horse smiled and waved, and slowly walked away in the mist of the swamp. The sound of the necklace gradually became deeper and deeper.
Until the end, it fell into silence.
