Quanyou: I loaded the Demon Hunter system

Chapter 182 The tip of the iceberg

"died?"

"Dead. Finally, he was dug out from the ruins and found something that could prove his identity."

Clay played with the wine glass, showing a thoughtful look. This little knight, who might be a participant in the ambush, died at the wrong time, just like Ed Stark.

Like this kind of little knight, the fief is actually a village, and their so-called castle is probably a wooden attic two or three stories high, which is unlikely to be made of stone, unless there is a good source of stone near the fief.

But even so, once the fire burns out, no one can escape, and the blood of this unknown small family will be cut off from then on. This matter itself is not right.

This is not burning cotton. The Hejian Land itself has a humid climate. If there is a simple fire, how can no one escape. It is not a completely closed environment, and the acrid smoke will wake people up immediately.

"Is there a follow-up to this matter?"

"No, the whole place was burned to a white ground. There is no way to check it. It is a small village with a small number of people. His castle is not in the village yet, and there is a separate location some distance outside the village."

"When the fire was discovered by the sleeping villagers and they led people to rush over, the fire was out of control. We had to wait for the fire to burn out before finding someone to dig it out from the ashes."

The old man clicked his tongue, there is clearly a problem with this matter, but the ones under his hands are too clean, so clean that no trace of the problem can be found, then there is no problem.

"Clay, I actually don't understand who has the ability to do this kind of thing under the eyes of the Frey family, and what's the purpose? There's not much oil and water in that place. I went to see it myself. "

"It's very simple. Some people don't want us to investigate this matter again. This is a warning to us. Moreover, I have to say that it is very beautiful and clean to destroy the corpse."

When Clay said this, his tone was very calm, and he already understood the ins and outs of this matter.

I and Aenys Foyle, who has already been in the seventh hell, met that guy once when we went to investigate this matter together. Moreover, the time was short at that time, and they arranged the scene hastily. flaw.

Clay found out that something was wrong at the time, but he didn't reveal anything. It was impossible for these people to know that he had seen the problem. Then, if such a thing happened again, there was only one explanation, and they didn't come for Clay at all.

That is to say, the little knight's territory that I didn't have time to go to at that time might really have a big problem, so these people were so anxious to clean up the traces after Clay left.

They knew that Clay would know about it in the end. Even if the Manderly family didn't control the Twins, it would be the same. If Master Clay Manderly wanted to find out about this, he would definitely be able to find out.

"Interesting, Grandpa, it's not something ordinary people can do without the Frey family being aware of it. That is, this is a little knight. No matter how big the territory is, it won't be the current one. situation."

Clay remembered that the old man told him two interesting things, so he asked instead:
"I know about this matter. I will pay attention to it when I have time later. Grandpa, what is the second interesting thing you mentioned?"

The old man knew that Clay wanted to ask, and he would definitely tell Clay about this matter, but this matter is a bit strange, and he hasn't figured it out until now. He said:

"Clay, you still remember the kid Rob Stark, oh, he should be called His Majesty Rob now, he has a younger sister."

"He has two younger sisters, one big and one small, which one do you say?"

"The younger one, Arya Stark."

"I know, I met her in Winterfell, a very wild little girl, oh yes, I remember that she disappeared when we returned to the north? Have you found it now?"

Clay suddenly remembered that the Stark family still had a wild little wolf wandering outside. Thinking of this, Clay suddenly thought of the guy named Jakun Heghar.

No way……

"I haven't found it yet. What I want to tell you is this. When our people took over the land of the Frey family, they went to a small village at the southernmost tip. The local nobles told us that in their land, Dig up some buried bodies."

"These corpses were buried carelessly. When the farmers went to work in the fields, they smelled the stench and found them. These people were wearing the armor of our northern army, to be precise, the armor of the direwolf. And that location, Rob didn't pass by when he went south."

Clay understood what the old man meant, and blurted out:
"That means, those are the personal guards who followed Ed Stark into King's Landing?"

The old man nodded. The speed of his grandson's thinking always satisfied him.

"Yes, later I contacted the members of the guard who were recuperating in Twin River City and escaped from King's Landing City. They recognized the identities of those people based on some characteristics, and some of them were very sure that there were people who were responsible when they separated. Those who protect Arya Stark."

Clay was stunned for a moment, and then his black brows were instantly frowned. As the commander in charge of a large army at that time, he was very clear about the arrangement of the northern army at that time.

It can be said that the place where the bones were found was quite far away from the main battlefield. At that time, they all judged that Arya Stark and her guards must have crossed the battlefield and headed north. Now it seems that they are right .

But here comes the problem. At that time, all the troops were in the further south. The purpose of the confrontation between the two sides was to force the other side to retreat. How could these people who had fled the main battlefield be killed in this position?
"Is it made by the locals?"

"I thought so too at the beginning, but after I looked at the strength of the little knights, I'm sure that they are not capable of killing those experienced northern soldiers."

"Besides, why didn't they grab the armor after killing someone? Otherwise, what reason would they have to kill?"

Clay understood what the old man meant, that is to say, it was definitely not these people who did it, so the next question hit him directly in the face.

Who the hell did this?Also, where is Arya Stark?

Don't think that a little girl is unimportant. Although she is small, and she has nothing to do with inheritance, but she is there, and sometimes it is very useful. In my memory, after Roose Bolton occupied Winterfell, that was the case dry.

Not a Stark, not a Lannister, who would that be?

Clay suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked a very important guy, and a region with a very low sense of existence but a very strong actual power.

What has the valley been doing all this time?
In this place, if all wrong answers are excluded, no matter how unreasonable the remaining ones are, that is the only correct answer.

"Grandpa, I suspect that Arya Stark is probably in the hands of the people of the valley now."

Clay rubbed his chin and looked at his old man.

The old man was not surprised to hear this. He also had doubts, but he still couldn't figure out why.

Although the Eagle's Nest City controlled by Lysa Tully now shuts the door of blood and plays on his own, after all, it is a married family, so there is no reason to attack a little girl like Arya Stark.

Therefore, the old man has always been skeptical that Gu Di did this, because he can't understand the logic behind it, but Clay knows very well that there is one person who can do this.

It has to be said that that guy made a fool of himself in Winterfell, and he has never appeared in Clay's sight since then. Now that it's all right, he is probably responsible for this incident.

Whether it's Sansa or Arya, his ultimate goal is clear to Clay. The sentence "chaos is the ladder" has fulfilled the real goal in his heart.

Clay thought of the burning of the little knight just mentioned. He had a feeling that these things were inseparable from the valley people. If this is true, it means that the person behind the scenes has control over the valley. Stronger than he thought.

This is not good news. The valley is closed to the current Clay and the entire northern border. No one knows what they are going to do.
