After Small Council Chamber came out, Gryn found a shady place nearby and stopped.
The play continues, it just needs an ending.
Gryn frowned and stood for a while, then his ears moved and he heard footsteps.
"Lord Gryn." is the voice of Varys.
Gryn, who came back to his senses, looked towards Varys with a confused tone. "Master Varys?"
Varys held hands together, nodded and said, "I'm really sorry. My unintentional words seemed to make you distressed. This was not my intention."
Gryn shook his head and said, "It's my own problem. Your words made me realize some problems that I never thought of."
The location of Gryn is relatively remote near Small Council Chamber, and the view is very broad.
This is a convenient place for conversation.
Varys stared at one place and said in a cold tone, "People will subconsciously ignore things they don't want to face. This is human nature. Including me, the group of people who are still prosperous and wealthy, we are all Targaryen's oathbreakers."
Varys looked at Gryn again, with a gentle face. "It was only more than ten years ago, but many people still remember it fresh, including me.
Lord Gryn, you are different. You are unfamiliar with Targaryen. Your impressions all come from past records.
However, I see that your thoughts suddenly become complicated. I think it is the Crabb ancestors. The precious character passed down from generation to generation has long been engraved in the blood. You may be aware of this."
Gryn sighed slightly and said, "Maybe it is right for Crabb to stay away from Red Keep's tradition. I should not come and leave Crackclaw Point and leave my home."
Varys comforted, "Lord Gryn, but I know you have to come out. Red Keep has been wary of Crackclaw Point. There is a lack of trust between the two parties, and Crackclaw Point is in the exact position of Crownlands.
Now that I have discovered the sword hanging above my head, I don't know when it will fall... In this situation, anyone would choose to save themselves.
Therefore, I agree with and support your choice. Self-rescue is human instinct, which is reasonable and beyond reproach."
Gryn's eyes moved and he asked, "Thank you, Mr. Varys, for your words that comforted me. However, I take the liberty... you seem to have other ideas."
Varys took out an envelope and handed it to Gryn, saying, "Your eyes can distinguish good from evil. This is really enviable. You can hold this letter. I still say the same thing. Sympathy for a person does not mean pity for a person. It depends on how you look at it."
Gryn took the unsealed envelope and asked doubtfully, "This is?"
Varys smiled and nodded, "No need to doubt, you can open it and take a look now."
Gryn nodded, opened the envelope, took out the letter and lowered his eyes.
Gryn's brown eyes trembled, this was a letter written by Varys to Magister of Pentos.
In the letter, Varys first praised Gryn's character and explained that Gryn's purpose was for trade between the two places, namely Mermaid Harbor and Pentos.
Gryn read it quickly and put the letter away again.
Varys held hands with each other and said in a gentle tone, "I think this letter can at least guarantee your safety in Pentos, and you will have some leeway, so you don't have to worry in a hurry."
Could it be that he acted too well?
Luring the wolf into the house, Varys isn't worried that I'll kill the dragon directly?
Varys continued, "I think even though we are separated by a long time, because of our former friendship... at least Magister Illyrio will not deliberately embarrass you.
I still have some people at Pentos, and I can take care of you a little bit, Lord Gryn, as long as you put your own safety first."
Gryn can bring dozens of people at most. Can Pentos be captured with just a few dozen people?
Gryn revealed the idea of raiding Pentos, and Varis already knows about it.
Since Varys already knows, Illyrio will naturally know as well. They are always cautious, and even if Gryn's words sound foolhardy, they will be fully prepared.
Moreover, Varys and Little Bird are everywhere, and all abnormalities are invisible to it.
Chew Varys's words carefully. Although his words seem to be thinking about you, they contain a hidden threat.
Am I being threatened by an egg? Gryn is not angry at all... Game of Thrones only focuses on results.
Varys gently patted Gryn's... arm with a kind look. "Go out and have a look. The current Red Keep cannot tolerate noble loyalty. You still have three years. Think more about yourself. Maybe you can find a new answer that will no longer trouble you."
Hook Alley, New Crabb Residence.
Near noon, Anguy, who was "mission" Stormlands, returned safely, and Leyton's butler welcomed him.
Leyton spread his arms towards Anguy and said enthusiastically, "Anguy, welcome home."
The tired Anguy and Leyton hugged each other and said, "Leyton, thank you for welcoming me. I like this feeling."
Leyton said with a smile, "The time is right, take a bath first? Or should I prepare food for you first?"
Anguy touched his stomach sheepishly and said, "I'm too hungry. Believe me, if you let me take a bath now, you will see me drowned in the bathtub."
Leyton laughed and said, "I don't want to invite Silent Sisters. Do it according to your wishes. This is your freedom and this is the law of the lord."
Leyton Why did you mention the Lord's Law?
After Gryn took over the territory, in order to change bad habits and optimize customs, referring to the environment of Crackclaw Point, he had to regulate everything according to the laws of the lord.
Gryn One of the purposes of formulating various laws is to increase the cohesion of soldiers.
For example, the current situation of Anguy.
Because of the task assigned by Gryn, Anguy went to Stormlands to meet Brienne.
According to the laws established by Gryn, when you return from a mission, you must be greeted by someone, and your first meal must be meat and wine, and you must take a bath in heated water.
This is the operation of scroll king Gryn, using meticulous lord laws to strengthen the soldiers' sense of belonging.
Gryn believes that many of the laws he made that are not like laws start from laws, but as time goes by, they will become Crackclaw Point fine traditions in the future.
Anguy, who had finished lunch, was lying in the bathtub with his eyes slightly closed, looking relaxed.
Anguy feels that the most correct thing he has done in his life is to believe in a strange fat man - Mutton·Waters.
Anguy, who had a mercenary career, is very defensive, let alone a stranger.
That day, at the Blackwater Rush dock... Anguy Looking back, Mutton's honesty and inexplicable feeling made him let down his guard and be willing to trust the person in front of him.
The Gods did not abandon him. Anguy became Lord Gryn's personal guard and was still trusted by him.
Anguy breathed out, thinking about what Mutton had told him. The girls at Crabb Territory were enthusiastic and proactive.
When it comes to matters between men and women, Anguy only knows how to take out Gold Dragon from his pocket, so he prefers to be passive.
Mutton said that he will definitely be very popular among the girls in the territory, Anguy believes him!
Maybe this time following Lord Gryn back to Crabb Territory, he can get married immediately and live a happy life!
A week later, Crabb Manor.
During this period, Dick's life was both painful and happy.
The happy thing is that I can share a sumptuous dinner with my sister Julia every day.
Julia's attitude towards him is less smiling than before, but it makes him feel more warm and warm.
Every time, Dick cheered up and happily chatted with his sister while eating. He found that as long as he studied the various courses arranged by Geoffrey seriously, his sister would be able to make better and better clothes and more jewelry, and at the same time, the food on the table would be richer.
Of course, Dick did very poorly at the beginning. He has developed a carefree character. Even when faced with Geoffrey, who frightens him, he will habitually cheat and cheat.
The next night, when I saw Julia wearing a coarse cloth dress and a few pieces of Black Bread on the dining table, and compared his treatment yesterday, Dick realized that his cleverness had not escaped Geoffrey's eyes.
Julia didn't complain a word, biting the hard Black Bread, still happily recounting Dick's childhood memories that had long been blurred.
"You don't want to watch, Julia, because you are living a hard life, right?"
Dick finally fully understood the meaning of this sentence.
Starting from the bottom of his heart, Dick studied the courses arranged by Geoffrey seriously.
Dick's painful days come from this.
What makes Dick painful is not the sword skills course, but the etiquette course.
Although the sword skills course was a bit tiring, Dick soon fell in love with the feeling of wielding a sword and gradually enjoyed it.
What really made Dick suffer physically and mentally was the etiquette class... The housekeeper named Surana, who wore a dagger at her waist, was very strict.
Dick's back would be whipped by the wooden stick in Surana's hand if he even hunched over a little.
There are also all kinds of meticulous behaviors. Except for Dick's face, almost every part of his body has not escaped Surana's whipping.
"Remember, nobles should not..."
Then, bang bang!
Dick was so shocked that he couldn't help but want to refute... He is not a noble, he is just an illegitimate child!
But Dick's intuition told him not to speak out, the result would only be worse.
Therefore, the smart Dick held back and silently accepted the etiquette tutorial from Surana.
Snap!
Oh~Dick couldn't help but scream in pain, holding the top of his head with both hands as if it was about to split.
The expressionless Surana said coldly, "Sir Dick, everything else is making progress, but that look in your eyes, so far, has not allowed me to see any improvement.
Every time you are thinking about something, you will show a thief-like look in your eyes. Your eyes are actively telling everyone that you are preparing to do something bad.
The look in your eyes makes even a thief unable to act well, and everyone will be subconsciously wary of you. This is tantamount to etching on your face that you are an untrustworthy person."
Dick found that the top of his head was swollen. He pressed it painfully and said, "I'm very sorry, Lady Surana. I don't know how to change this... habit."
Dick himself did not know this characteristic of his, but he did not doubt the authenticity of Surana's words.
According to Surana's words, if it is written on his face that he cannot be trusted... Dick feels that Surana's face must be marked as someone who can be trusted.
Surana nodded slightly and said, "It is a good habit to be willing to apologize. After all, humility is a virtue, but don't use it as an excuse for cowardice.
Since Mr. Gryn has arranged for you to study, I just hope that you will pay more attention and meet Mr. Gryn's requirements as soon as possible, so that I can be freed from the boring teaching tasks as soon as possible.
Also, I would like to give you a kind advice, don't test anyone's patience, life and death are at stake here, please think about your sister Julia."
Dick swallowed and said hurriedly, "Madam, I promise, I swear, I am definitely not lazy!"
Snap! Dick was beaten mercilessly by Surana again.
"Have you forgotten your steady posture?"
Dick just resisted the action of rubbing the painful area, because if he did, he would get another beating from Surana.
Dick couldn't help but said doubtfully, "I'm sorry, madam, what do you mean by stability?"
Surana then remembered that Dick had not progressed to this course yet.
This situation naturally did not trouble Surana. She moved to the next topic, which quickly attracted Dick's attention.
"Sir Dick, I have prepared a mirror for you. It will help you and make you a sincere gentleman."
The waves on the sea were rough, and rows of huge mountain-like waves roared and roared towards the shore, slamming into the rocks standing on the seaside, stirring up snow-white waves and making thunderous sounds.
Dragonstone, dock.
Gryn, who had just gotten off the boat, raised his eyes and looked at the castle carved into the shape of a dragon, and then looked around.
Dragonstone Castle is ancient and strong, but Dragonstone does not have many vassals. The island to which Dragonstone belongs is sparsely populated, making it difficult for the lord to raise an army.
However, Dragonstone Castle is a fortress that is difficult to break through with conventional military force.
"Good day, Lord Gryn, welcome to Dragonstone."
The person who came to greet Gryn turned out to be the knight Davos·Seaworth.
Didn't Davos go to Stormlands?
Gryn was confused because when Davos visited Gryn, Gryn remembered that Davos told him that he would go to Stormlands the next day.
Gryn immediately smiled, spread his hands and hugged Davos like old friends.
"Good day, Sir Davos, I didn't expect you to greet me personally. I am deeply honored."
In the face of Gryn's enthusiasm, Davos's tone remained humble. "I was reporting military affairs to Lord Stannis at that time. When I heard the news that you were about to arrive, I took the initiative to volunteer and come to greet you."
After saying that, Davos introduced, "This is my third son, Maric·Seaworth, who serves as my first mate in Black Bess."
Maric is tall and thin, and looks very similar to Davos. He greeted Gryn and said, "Good day, Lord Gryn."
Maric's behavior is as humble and polite as his father.
Gryn replied, "Good day, Sir Maric, Black Bess is the pride of Sir Davos. You can serve as first officer, I think you are also his pride."
Maric's eyes lit up, he smiled a little sheepishly, and nodded to Gryn in thanks.
Davos's eyes were kind, he reached out and patted Maric, and said, "The waves are ruthless, he still needs more exercise."
Gryn followed Davos along the way, and there were dragon-shaped carvings and decorations everywhere. Although Targaryen lost Iron Throne, the traces of Targaryen were deeply imprinted here.
Gryn went through the steep stone steps and arrived at Dragonstone's main castle Drum Tower.
Whenever a storm comes, the inside of its ancient walls will rumble and echo, hence the name Drum Tower.
Rumor has it that the hidden passage of Drum Tower Dungeons can reach the center of Dragonmont.
Speechless all the way, Gryn arrived at Painted Table Chamber at the top of Drum Tower.
Painted Table Chamber is a circular room. A huge table in the hall is carved with a detailed map of Westeros. Four tall narrow windows face the four directions of east, west, north and south.
Here Gryn saw Lord Stannis with a sullen face.
Gryn caressed his chest and said, "Good day, Lord Stannis. I am deeply honored to meet you."
