Chapter 46: The North Has Not Forgotten (2)
Arya had been with Lord Tywin for a while, so she had some understanding of the Lannister family's army. The man in front of him, Fabry, was obviously being ignored and excluded by his companions, and everyone seemed to be deliberately avoiding him. However, Fabry himself did not take other people's attitudes to heart, and just raised his glass and drank.
Arya asked cautiously, "Are those arguing gentlemen your companions? What are they arguing about?"
Fabry glanced casually over there and replied, "It's nothing serious, it's just the trial by combat more than a month ago! Marquis Garon beat the Mountain so hard that he was left with only one breath. I heard that the brothers who were on guard at the time said that when the Mountain was carried away, he was like a puddle of mud, and almost half of his bones were broken."
Arya gasped. "Wow, he's not dead yet?"
Fabri nodded in agreement, "That's right! But the problem is, Nick said he saw the Mountain again at the White Sword Tower. How is that possible? Sean had quarreled with him over this, but Nick has always insisted that only the Mountain has such a huge body. They are so boring. Instead of wasting time on these meaningless things, they might as well discuss the glittering gold coins brought back by Lord Tyrell! After all, you can never have too much money! I also heard that Lord Tywin is working hard at checking the accounts in the Prime Minister's Tower right now!
Arya's heart was shocked. She knew that the Mountain was a cruel and terrifying monster. She almost fell into its clutches when she was in Harrenhal. I remember someone said that the Mountain had been beaten by Mr. Garen and was dying. But in just one month, could he recover so quickly? If so, it would undoubtedly become a huge hidden danger.
However, what really concerns Arya is that Tywin is in the Tower of the Hand. You know, Arya has lived here for half a year and knows everything there. So she is determined to go back to the Tower of the Hand to find out. Although Joffrey has passed away, Cersei is still alive, and there is also the powerful Duke Tywin. The Lannisters must pay for their father's tragic death with blood!
As night fell, the stars lit up the rocky coastline. This was the place where Bronn had set fire during the Battle of the Blackwater. The raging wildfire spread like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and swallowing up Davos's fleet.
At the same time, the ecological environment of this bay has also suffered a devastating blow. Today, the residents of King's Landing can find less and less seafood here. Looking around, the sea is full of broken ship wrecks, which are stuck in the coral reefs, as if telling the tragic battle in the past.
At this moment, Arya quietly appeared in this place. Revisiting the old place, she couldn't help but feel a complex emotion. Following the familiar drain, she successfully entered the intricate underground facilities. Relying on the route in her memory, she shuttled through the dark corridors and finally came to the bottom of the Red Castle.
The closed doors and solid iron fences could no longer stop her. Arya skillfully used various tools to easily open the door locks. For an outstanding assassin, lock picking is undoubtedly an essential skill.
Hidden within the Red Keep is a vast network of secret passages and tunnels, built by order of King Maegor so that he could escape quickly when surrounded by enemies.
In earlier times, these tunnels must have been filled with booby traps, but time has rendered them useless. Some tunnels are made of solid rock, while others are crude earth holes supported by timber.
Stepping into the basement filled with dragon skeletons again, an old and decayed smell hit me. In this gloomy and dark place, there are two roads extending forward, one leading straight to the fourth floor of the dungeon, and the other passing through a winding, spiral staircase and a cold and heavy iron door.
Through the narrow path at the bottom, you can reach the dragon mosaic room under the Hand Tower. This room is circular in layout, with a skylight above the roof. Six deep tunnels converge here, and each passage is locked by a closed iron door. The floor is paved with worn and worn red and black broken tiles, which form a vivid mosaic pattern of the three-headed dragon of the Targaryen family.
In a corner of the room, there is an exquisite brazier, shaped like a majestic dragon head. Once lit, the blazing flame will illuminate the entire room and bring bursts of warmth; and the charcoal fire spewed out from the dragon's mouth will emit a dim and soft light. However, at this moment, this place is pitch black and silent. Arya stepped onto the stairs carefully. There were no guardrails or handrails on the stone steps. She groped forward in the dark and might fall down if she was not careful.
The Prime Minister's Tower, where successive prime ministers have worked, has a unique and solemn architectural style. The tower not only has an indestructible wall battlement to ensure safety, but also has a private reception room inside the tower for receiving important guests or holding confidential meetings.
Although the size of these reception rooms is slightly smaller than that of the king's reception room, they are still decorated solemnly and elegantly, highlighting the noble status of the owner. Walking into the small hall of the tower, you can feel a completely different atmosphere from the throne room of the Red Keep. Passing through a huge wooden door, you will see a long and narrow room with a high and rounded roof, giving people a sense of openness. There is a long dining table in the room, surrounded by benches that can accommodate two hundred people.
However, only the space below the third floor is used by guards and servants. Across the courtyard, where Arya and Syrio once trained, the tower at the back is the Prime Minister's private residence.
Arya stood at the end of the secret passage, quietly standing for a long time, listening attentively to the movements on the other side. She had to make sure not to alarm anyone. When she was sure that there was no one outside, Arya pushed the stone slab lightly, revealing the entrance to the passage hidden below. This was the inside of the fireplace in the small study, and the warmth of the fire seemed to still remain on the wall.
She crept in, each movement was extremely gentle, afraid to make a sound to break the tranquility of the moment. The entire tower was unusually quiet, and it even felt as if time had frozen.
