Mermaid Harbor, East Pier.
Under the protection of the soldiers, Lord Stannis led Davos·Seaworth, known as "Onion Knight", off the ship.
Lord Stannis walked around the pier for a while without riding a horse, and then walked to the inner city of Mermaid Harbor.
Stannis, who was silent all the way, stopped and looked around with sharp eyes. "Davos, tell me, what did you see?"
The Davos mentioned by Stannis has an ordinary appearance and a thin body. He has a pair of brown eyes under short brown hair and a thick gray beard on his face.
The knight Davos·Seaworth is called "Onion Knight". He serves as the commander of the Narrow Sea fleet of Master of Ships Lord Stannis. Davos, who is deeply trusted by Stannis, also acts as an advisor.
Davos was once a maritime smuggler. During War of the Usurper, Davos drove a boat full of onions and pickled fish to break through the blockade of Redwyne Fleet and deliver supplies to Stannis who was holding on to Storm's End.
Thanks to these foods, Storm's End was able to persist until reinforcements arrived. Therefore, Stannis canonized Davos as a knight and granted him the fertile land of Cape Wrath.
After canonizing Davos as a knight, Stannis added, "Good deeds cannot offset evil deeds, and evil deeds cannot cover up good deeds. Each deed has its own retribution."
As punishment for Davos's previous smuggling crimes, the selfless Stannis had the first knuckles of all four fingers of Davos and Left Hand cut off, except for the thumb.
Davos put the severed knuckles into a leather bag and hung them around his neck, treating them as lucky charms that could protect his family.
Afterwards, Davos chose the surname "Seaworth" as his new family name.
Davos Knight also followed Lord Stannis's gaze and looked around, respectfully saying, "Lord Stannis, what I see along the way is order."
The sullen Lord Stannis nodded his head imperceptibly. "Go on."
Davos said, "At first I only saw that the residents here were very well-behaved, but after following you all the way, I now feel that they are all obeying detailed orders."
Lord Stannis nodded a little louder. "Davos, are there any more?"
Davos blinked, hesitated for a while, and said in an uncertain tone, "Is it cleaner here?"
A bright light flashed in Lord Stannis's sharp eyes. "Davos, this is not an order. The people are selflessly observing strict laws. This is what the kingdom should be like."
When Stannis spoke again, several people headed by the housekeeper Herschel were walking towards Stannis.
The Herschel butler, who was a little out of breath, first calmed down, then stood in front of Lord Stannis and bowed and saluted. "Dear Duke, I am Herschel, the butler of Whispers and the governor of Mermaid Harbor. I pay tribute to you on behalf of House Crabb."
Lord Stannis never likes to be informed in advance when inspecting. What his eyes want is the most realistic facts.
Herschel, who was supervising the progress of Mermaid Harbor's "second phase", rushed over after hearing the news that Lord Stannis had arrived at Mermaid Harbor.
Lord Stannis frowned. "Where is your lord?"
Lord Stannis also recently heard that there is a new port named Mermaid Harbor on the north side of the strait of Dragonstone.
Two days ago, another cunning pirate broke through Royal Fleet's guard and sneaked into Blackwater Bay, and also attacked and damaged two merchant ships. After hearing the news, Lord Stannis was very angry.
The furious Lord Stannis directly went out to Dragonstone in the name of the inspection fleet. During the inspection, he directly executed several captains of Royal Fleet who were responsible for the security of the relevant areas on the sea.
On the way back after the inspection, as Master of Ships Lord Stannis, I remembered the new port named Mermaid Harbor.
The fleet is closely related to the port. Every Master of Ships will pay attention to every port, and the port of Blackwater Bay, which is a barrier to King's Landing, will pay even more attention to it.
It happened that Black Bess carrying Lord Stannis was not far from the position of Mermaid Harbor. The sailing direction of Black Bess was changed to Mermaid Harbor under the command of Lord Stannis.
Lord Stannis's inquiry under the sharp gaze made Herschel butler's heart beat heavily and he almost forgot to breathe.
Herschel The butler ignored the beads of sweat that covered his forehead. "Our lord Gryn·Lord Crabb was appointed Steward by His Highness Queen, and is now in Red Keep."
Stannis's brows furrowed even more tightly, it's Lannister again!
Is Lannister so attractive? Stannis can give him whatever Lannister can give him. Why are all the talents he likes already joining Lannister!
Davos approached Lord Stannis and whispered, "Lord Stannis, the nobles of Crackclaw Point have been suppressed by the nobles of Hand Jon Arryn and Vale for more than ten years.
I heard that this young baron named Gryn was very talented in military affairs. He defeated the 20,000 Mountain Wildlings coalition forces with a few hundred men and recovered a large area of fertile land that had been lost more than ten years ago.
Even I can see that Lord Gryn has an enterprising heart. I think he took refuge in Queen out of necessity. He wanted to use Queen to fight against the Vale nobles."
Lord Stannis looked at Davos: "I remember that after the war Robert had already tried and punished the nobles of Crackclaw Point. What happened to the subsequent behavior of the nobles Hand Jon Arryn and Vale?"
Davos shook his head. He really didn't know this. Those big nobles did not have the great and upright qualities like Lord Stannis. Perhaps only White Walker knew what those people were planning every day.
Davos is Duke Tanis' most loyal supporter.
Lord Stannis waved his hand to keep the Herschel steward away, took steps toward the dock, and said to Davos, "The kingdom cannot be governed by dark tactics. Hand Jon Arryn is putting the cart before the horse. Do you also think that I should continue to assist him and then form a political alliance?"
Davos organized his speech for a while before replying, "Hand Jon Arryn maybe has some unavoidable reasons?"
Lord Stannis snorted coldly, "I hope so."
On the way Davos saw a group of ten-year-old children in the distance standing in a neat-looking small square formation under the leadership of an energetic old man.
Because of the distance, Davos could only see the old man holding a bow and talking about something, and faintly heard the laughter of children from time to time.
At this time Lord Stannis said, "Can my Dragonstone do the same?"
Davos replied, "Lord Stannis, every place is different, it's difficult."
