Chapter 146
Sometimes it is really simple to want a person to betray, as long as you give him enough golden dragons and tell him that these golden dragons can allow him to exchange for things that he can never exchange for in the original place, that is enough.

Clay directly skipped Eli's explanation of why he became an eye. Everyone has their own reasons. From their own perspective, they can say a sincere last resort, but this cannot be forgiven. reason.

After Eli was corrupted in the south, he has been engaged in this work since he returned to the north. According to his account, he at least found out the daily location of the important people in the Sea God Tower, the rotation of the guards, and some information about the combat readiness of the family army. .

And all this information, he handed over to the blond bachelor who had always been unpopular in the family, and Clay felt a little chilled when he heard it.

As a demon hunter with excellent vigilance and extremely far-reaching hearing range, Clay is not afraid of someone coming to assassinate him. Even in his sleep, the danger is not great, but this does not mean that other members of the family Can.

Don't think that the war is over just by winning or losing on the battlefield. The bloody dagger hidden deep in the dark castle sometimes plays a more critical role.

If it wasn't for Clay, as the young master of White Harbor, who had been implanted with the deep-rooted system of nobility from the very beginning, he, who possesses the ability of a demon hunter, might become a better man in this era than the Faceless Man of the House of Black and White. the assassin.

Therefore, the leak of the family's internal information made Clay far more angry than the exposure of the family's army garrison, and it also prompted him to kill the guy who had been put under house arrest.

In Clay's original plan, if such a peripheral spy did not cause much harm, considering that he has completely lost his ability to move, it doesn't matter whether Clay kills him or not.

But now, Clay has changed his mind. He no longer intends to keep such a person who has caused a huge threat to his family members. He has already done it, so he must pay the price.

But for this matter, Clay does not intend to do it himself. The grievance has the head and the debtor. This matter started because of Juventus, so it will end with him.

After waiting until the wedding was over, Clay gave an order to continue, and Juventus was forced to let go of his newly married wife, and quickly came to Clay.

In fact, he was also anxious all the time. Facing the unaware Mana, he could only forcefully smile and suppress the anxiety in his heart.

"My lord, Eli..."

The panting Juventus looked at Clay uneasily. The latter had no expression on his face, just looking at him. After a long time, Clay said:
"You know, Juventus, what your younger brother did hurts the family much more than what you find in the box about the family's weapons, the cargo throughput of the port, and so on."

Juventus' face turned pale immediately. He used to serve as Earl Wyman's bodyguard. He knew the weight behind what Clay said, but he still couldn't believe it. His lips squirmed and his voice was weak:

"No...Eri just looks fierce, I know him, he is very timid."

After all, it was his brother. At this time, he instinctively wanted to excuse his brother. It seemed that he was not the one who reported this matter to Clay.

"Your good brother, with the key copied from your waist, has sneaked into the Sea God Tower many times one after another. Through your mouth, you know the time when the guards change. Heh, he has already figured out the importance of my Mandalay family. The position of the member, what does he want to do?"

"Accept the reality, Juventus. Based on this alone, it is impossible for your brother Eli to leave White Harbor alive. I, Clay Manderly, cannot tolerate this kind of thing."

"Your own brother, you deal with it yourself. After that, you have two options. First, leave White Harbor and go to the north. Lord Eddard Stark's Winterfell should welcome you and your family. Second, stay in White Harbor, the door of the family will be closed forever for you, forget everything about you in the Sea God Tower, and do something else, it will be good for everyone.”

……

Clay doesn't care how Juventus chooses. It's not uncommon for this kind of younger brother to cheat his elder brother's script. In this continent, it will be staged once at some point.

But in any case, the Mandalay family will not allow Juventus to serve as the family's bodyguard anymore. Clay will give Sir Marlon an order in the future. If Juventus chooses to stay in White Harbor, then tell all the guards that he will never be allowed to enter newcastle.

This is responsible for the safety of family members. Regardless of whether Juventus harbors resentment towards Clay or not, Clay must take precautions. Although, according to Clay's temper, it is safest to kill Juventus together.

But no matter what, he can't do this kind of thing, because it is a disguised way to prevent the bottom people from reporting the situation to him. The disadvantages behind this are visible to the naked eye.

After dealing with Juventus, Clay returned to the Sea God Tower without stopping. Now, it's time to deal with another more troublesome guy.

Theomo Lannister sat quietly in the chair, playing with the chains of different materials around his neck, which represented the honors he had won in the Academy City.

When he was forcibly broken into the door by a group of thick and thick guards, he didn't have any resistance, because the guards with quick eyes and quick hands had already pinched his hands, and he couldn't even touch the poison on the bedside. Can't do it.

He already understood that his behavior must have been exposed. To be honest, he had expected such a day to come, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

As a bachelor, he didn't think about what to do to the Mandalay family at the beginning. With enthusiasm, he came to the largest port in the north, ready to fulfill his duties as a bachelor.

However, when the lord here, the annoying Earl Wyman, saw his appearance, his face became unattractive. After asking his surname, he directly overturned the welcome banquet table.

Theomo Lannister still remembers the words of Earl Wyman at that time:
"White Harbor is a good place. I don't allow the stench of lions. So, Lannister, you'd better get out, you're not welcome in the North."

But at that time, I just stuck my neck out and said that the bachelors from the academy city were only loyal to the lord. My lord obviously misunderstood me.

Earl Wyman was also very helpless. It would be too radical to kill it directly, and it was not up to that point. It cannot be returned. This golden lion does not want to leave, and he has no choice.

Later, Theomo Lannister stayed in White Harbor, but although he had his own raven cage and was able to manage some official letters from White Harbor, the medical duties of a bachelor were completely restricted by him. deprived.

It’s an exaggeration, even if Miss Vera’s favorite dog fell ill, Theomo Lannister said he could save it, Earl Wyman would rather watch the puppy die of illness, and Miss Vera cried into tears. Do not allow yourself to help.

He was never allowed to participate in any affairs of the Mandalay family. When he first arrived in White Harbor, there were guards with stern faces staring at him all the time, except when he went to the bathroom, they followed him every step of the way.

No way, this cannot be returned. Theomo Lannister himself thought about leaving, but later, he found that he could not leave, because he had been in White Harbor for a while, and Earl Wyman would not let him go he's gone.

So, this kind of embarrassing and aggrieved life just went on day by day. Earl Wyman never trusted him, and he never asked Earl Wyman to make fun of him.

But the seeds of hatred were sown, and after so many years, Earl Wyman's vigilance towards him gradually disappeared or slacked off as time went by.

Until a year ago, he got an opportunity by chance, contacted a big shot in King's Landing, and became a little bird left by the other party in the north.

He didn't contact his own family, the Lannister family, because he hated the Lannister family as well. If it wasn't for this damned surname and what the owner of this surname did in the south, how could he have ended up like this in White Harbor? the point.

Without unreasonable hatred, everything cannot be the responsibility of only one party.

But he had never been a spy before. How could a scholar full of knowledge know these things? He didn't know the specific identity of this lord, but he was willing to do anything as long as he could get revenge on the Mandalay family.

It's just that the methods were too naive, and the concealment of the off-line was basically amateurish, so he was dug out by this young master Clay Manderly in just one year.

Seeing Clay come in, Theomo Lannister's already dull golden hair swayed slightly with his master, and he said very calmly:

"Master Clay, you are welcome to visit. Unfortunately, I, a bachelor, can't help you with anything. I'm sorry."

"There is no need to apologize, Maester Theomo. My time is precious. I don't want to hear your story. Everyone has their own reasons, but I only look at the results. I think when you make this decision, you should This day has been expected."

Regarding Clay's words, Theomo Lannister had nothing to refute. Speaking of which, Clay gave him a pretty good impression. If it weren't for his surname Mandalay, the result might not be like this.

"Yes, Master Clay, you're right, it's true, but I didn't expect it to be so fast, and I didn't expect that I would fall into your hands. To be honest, I was awakened by nightmares countless times. They all died under your grandfather's sword, not yours."

"There is no difference. My grandfather and I both have the same surname, which represents a common will. It doesn't matter who dies under the sword, Bachelor Theomo."

Theomo Lannister was silent, he didn't know what to say to Clay, he didn't beg for mercy, Lannister's pride did not allow him to surrender to the object of his hatred and beg for mercy.

Clay didn't talk nonsense with him anymore, the green color of Axio's seal disappeared in a flash, and Theomo Lannister's consciousness left in this world was frozen.

……

Wiping the blood off the sword, Clay walked out of Theomo Lannister's room with a sullen face. Obviously, he didn't get the information he was satisfied with from the family scholar.

He didn't think it was the failure of the Axis seal, a weak physique, and he couldn't bear his Axis seal, and he didn't ask who his superior was from Bachelor Theomo's mouth, he just knew the way of contact.

To put it simply, Theomo and the mysterious figure in King's Landing created something similar to a codebook in this world. The two parties hid the real information in the seemingly normal correspondence.

This couldn't have been done by a temporary organizer. Clay's suspects were reduced a lot at once. Although King's Landing is big, there are only two people who are really capable of doing this.

Clay's "old friend" Earl Petyr, Mr. Littlefinger, and the current head of the kingdom's intelligence, Lord Varys the octopus spider, is a powerful eunuch who is missing something in his crotch.

As for Theomo himself, Clay gave him a good time, what's the point of torturing him when he wakes up?He's not some perverted sadist.

The news of his own death, under the instruction of Clay, did not inform the Academy City from White Harbor, because first, at this juncture, the Mandalay family would not trust anyone who was sent here.Second, the family has long been accustomed to taking on this responsibility. Whether they have a bachelor or not is no longer that important.

However, this incident exposed a problem, Bai Harbor may have been under the surveillance of some behind-the-scenes figures, which made Clay feel very bad.

There is a saying that is good, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves thinking about you. There are always people who want to know about you. It is strange that you can feel safe.

Littlefinger had already fucked himself once in Winterfell, but Clay later replayed the game, tending to think that it was a provocation against Stark and Lannister, and he was just used as a pawn.

But this time, the goal is to point to his White Harbor, which is completely different from before.

For this, Clay has no good solution for the time being. If it is a quick battle, one battle will determine the world, such as the two wars he fought in the south, then the role of intelligence will be relatively weakened.

But if it is a long-term war, then the advantage of intelligence will definitely come out. Moreover, when Clay wants to build a large navy and control the sea, it is also very important to know which part of the local territory is empty.

……

Before leaving, Clay went back to the wolf's lair again, and specifically explained the internal spy defense. In the past, most of the energy of the White Sea Guard was external. Now, Clay ordered them to stabilize their internal affairs first.

The army, the demon hunter, the White Sea Guard, and Clay have arranged everything that can be arranged, and the rest can only be dealt with when he returns.

After thoroughly explaining everything, Clay boarded the boat to Changjie Island one evening, and his dragon was there, waiting for him.

What he didn't know was that at the same time he left White Harbor, all the members of the Stark family in the main castle of Winterfell never thought that Ed Stark, who had been recovering well, would be in the main castle of Winterfell in just two days. He weakened rapidly within a few days, and after struggling hard, the vitality left his body completely.

Countless ravens were released from Winterfell, and their goal was the castles of all the vassals!
