Buzz!

When the last slogan on the stage was hung up, it seemed as if the air was stagnant for a while.

Gryn, who was sitting high up with an indifferent expression, looked at the noisier crowd and lamented that there are many literate people here.

If it were changed to Crackclaw Point, most people wouldn't be able to understand it.

Gryn secretly arranged various guides and other support, but they were all useless and became the atmosphere team.

Gryn secretly said that it was a pity. If not for the lack of time, we could have started an off-site game.

The first challenger of the next day walked onto the ring amidst the noise.

Gryn saw the family crest of a group of golden cranes on a pure blue background.

Gryn's eyebrows are slightly raised, House Crane?

House Crane is one of the Reach families who are directly loyal to House Tyrell.

Gryn remembers that Rainbow Guard was established independently by Renly·Baratheon for Queen, and a member of House Crane served as Purple Cloak.

The long sword in Gryn's hand was held by his side with one hand. "Let's begin, Your Majesty the Swordsman from House Crane."

House Crane The swordsman remained silent and swung his sword diagonally towards Gryn.

Bang!

Gryn used his sword to block, and the two men's swords made a harsh sound of steel friction during the struggle.

It seems that Gryn, who looks serious on the outside because he is competing in sword skills, is finding fault in his heart.

He is also a passionate young man with sparse sword skills.

Yesterday, Gryn usually ended the battle after more than ten rounds in order to appreciate the effect.

Today, since Gryn has started the first stage of taunting the Reach, the number of rounds can be appropriately reduced.

After about eight or nine rounds, Gryn's sword swing suddenly increased in strength.

The swordsman House Crane, who had just gotten used to the strength of Gryn's sword swing, was so shocked by this sudden force that his arm went numb and he almost lost his grip on the sword handle.

Before House Crane swordsman could recover, Gryn's long sword struck down quickly again.

House Crane The swordsman had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise his sword to block.

With a clang, the sword in his hand fell down, and Gryn's long sword was already pressed against House Crane swordsman's neck.

Gryn took back his sword, glanced coldly at the swordsman House Crane who was sitting on the ring, and turned to leave.

There is no warm comfort from Gryn today.

After coming back to his senses, House Crane swordsman picked up the long sword and left the ring sadly with a depressed look on his face.

"Next!"

The second challenger ends the fight in seven or eight rounds.

The third challenger ended the fight in six or seven rounds.

The subsequent challengers, Gryn, controlled the number of rounds to six to seven rounds.

At dusk, the red sun slowly penetrated the thin clouds.

Gryn stood in the center of the ring, his body seemed to be dyed with a layer of red gold, a color belonging to the strong.

The crowd around the ring had their mouths wide open, all with expressions of astonishment.

The arena fell into an eerie silence.

With a bang, the swordsman they had placed high hopes on, Gryn, rolled down the ring in embarrassment with just one swift sword blow.

This swordsman's sword skills are very famous in the Reach.

They were thinking that although the previous challengers were defeated, they could still fight back and forth... Could this person with such a great reputation be so weak?

There was a kind of resentment brewing in the crowd that they had been deceived.

Taking advantage of this eerie silence, Gryn said coldly, "We will continue tomorrow."

After the words fell, Gryn sighed slightly, shook his head, and left the ring surrounded by Crabb Blue Cloaks.

King's Landing, Shataya's Brothel at the feet of Rhaenys's Hill.

The two-story Shataya store has a circular tower.

Shataya's many windows are lined with lead, and a gorgeous gilded lantern decorated with crimson glass hangs on the door.

Clever Dick came to the Shataya store before it got dark and called his sister out.

Sister Dick, who had always been expressionless, spotted Dick's figure from a distance.

Dick's sister had a very stiff smile on her face at first. As she got closer to Dick, her smile gradually became more natural.

Dick's sister's voice was full of joy. "Dick, are you here to see me?"

Dick Although I put on new clothes, the smell on my body is still the same.

Dick's sister just frowned imperceptibly. On the surface, she didn't seem to mind at all, and she held one of Dick's arms very affectionately.

"The captain Gold Cloaks you introduced asked me to report to the garrison tomorrow."

"Don't worry, come over, I've already said hello."

Dick's eyes dodge. "You tell me, should I add my last name tomorrow?"

Dick's sister pulled away, paused, and then took Dick's arm again. Her hands couldn't help but tremble. "Brother, what do you want to do?"

"I want to write Dick·Crabb tomorrow so that Gold Cloaks people won't look down on me as a newcomer. I tried it with the Gold Cloaks captain, and no one should care about this. After all, this last name is very unfamiliar. As long as I am careful..."

Dick said, his voice gradually became quieter.

Dick found that my sister was shaking a little bit.

Crabb...Dick's sister thought she had completely forgotten this last name.

No, she had heard this last name from a customer recently!

"Sister? What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Sister Dick, who was lost in thoughts, came back to her senses. "Dick, have your brains been swallowed by White Walker? How dare you... you will be hanged!"

"I... if I were careful... don't cry, I know, I know, I just want to get ahead quickly and take you out of here as soon as possible!"

"Wow, I'm having a good time!"

Dick shrank his neck, glanced around carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was paying attention.

"Sister, don't worry, I promise not to mess around! Please, trust me once!"

Dick's sister wiped away her tears and said, "Brother, I just don't want you to die... and..."

Dick sister quietly looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Maybe you will have a better place to go..."

Dick is not good at hiding the expression on his face, his eyes are full of suspicion. "You don't want to tell me that you have climbed into another big shot so soon, do you?"

Dick feels that her sister's appearance is only a little better than average, and her "business" cannot suddenly improve.

Dick looked at her brother's sharp face and felt that her fists were a little stiff.

He took a deep breath and continued, "My good friend, she recently fell in love with..."

Sister Dick whispered in her brother's ear, "A Lannister adult is the Imp of Lannister."

"Lan...Lannister?"

For Dick, the captain Gold Cloaks introduced by my sister is already a big shot!

Lannister, that Lannister that is all gold?

"A friend of Lord Lannister has the surname Crabb. He should still be at King's Landing."

She remembered the words she heard in casual chat... words that she had never paid attention to, because of the stimulation of Dickon.

The next day, the sky was slightly bright.

Another slogan was added to the arena.

<The Reach swordsmen are not men>

Sorry, it's just an update today. Go to bed early and continue tomorrow!
