When Titus's team boarded the newly hired ship "Storm Dancer" and left Gulltown, all the members of the guard team put on Landed Knight's sophisticated plate armor that only noble children could afford.

Except Lady White Eagle who has his own aesthetic.

The team members did not care about the inconvenience of being at sea and wearing armor all over their bodies. These brand-new Peake Soldiers seemed to have received extremely fun new toys. Even if they took a boat, they would not take off their new armor.

The captain of "Storm Dancer" is Morio Domitis, a Tyrosh man with a forked Greenbeard.

He has been sailing on the Narrow Sea on the shore of Westeros Narrow Sea for about twenty years, working his way from rower to captain.

"Storm Dancer" is his fourth ship and the fastest one among them.

He has been running the route: White Harbor-Gulltown-King's Landing-Stonehelm-Sunspear all year round. He has seen a lot, and he has never seen such a powerful guard that even the guards can wear full plate armor.

Looking at the Earl guards wandering around on the deck, and then thinking about the heavy cargo boxes that filled his cabin, Morio, who was not small in wealth, had to bend his proud back and serve carefully when facing the more arrogant Earl of Starpike.

Then, he saw that there is no such thing as the most arrogant, only more arrogant and more arrogant.

After arriving at King's Landing, the great Lord Titus, whose eyes almost glowed with gold, repeated what he had just done at Gulltown again at King's Landing.

More refined armors were transported to the cargo hold of another newly added ship. Tyrosh people secretly calculated that Master Titus might have nearly a thousand pairs of armors in his hands.

He didn't know that the reason why Master Titus's delivery efficiency is so high is also thanks to Tob·Mott's face, and Tob's family alone has digested nearly half of King's Landing's orders.

My Three-Headed God! Does Earl of Starpike from the Reach want to start a new round of border war and conquer the Dorne land on the other side of the Red Mountains?

Tyrosh people can't help but secretly speculate on the purpose of these armors.

The other ship that joined was the "Black Beth" where Davos and Oswin were located.

As more and more goods are purchased, Titus is also alert.

Although you won't encounter any large-scale pirate groups if you walk along the eastern coastline of the mainland, you still have to be as careful as possible.

The voyage on the sea was very smooth. Titus spent his sixteenth Name Day on the sea when passing by Dragonstone.

And a few days after his Name Day.

The transit point for this route is the home of Andrew Tarth Ser, who is also a part-time guide.

Captain Morio Domitis stood at the helm of the ship, holding an arbor with his hands, looking toward the southwest, and shouted loudly:

"We're here! Tarth is just ahead."

The crew and soldiers rushed to the deck one after another and looked in the direction of Tyrosh's finger.

On the sea level in the distance, the rough outline of "Sapphire Isle" located northeast of Shipbreaker Bay can be seen. As the ship slowly approaches, the hillside in the center of the island and the buildings on the port become increasingly clear.

Titus, who also came to the bow of the ship, looked as far as the eye could see. The continuous mountains extended from the coast to the inland. The peaks were covered with pale golden sunlight. The lake at the foot of the mountain was as clear as a mirror. Several waterfalls like silver ribbons poured down from the middle of the cliff, splashing with broken water when they fell into the lake.

Titus had never been to Vale of Arryn, which was rumored to be as beautiful as a fairy tale, but the sight in front of him was enough to shock him.

Dornish Marches Although it is not a remote place, it does not have such beautiful scenery.

"The captains who have sailed here say that it is the high mountains on the island that have blocked the bad weather in the Narrow Sea. Otherwise, the sea level here would never be so calm. After all, if you go over there, it will be Shipbreaker Bay."

Captain Morio faced his major patron and introduced him respectfully.

"When the Storm King fleet encountered a hurricane, they could only escape by hiding in the harbor on the Tarth shore."

Titus knows Shipbreaker Bay.

The legend of the ancient Sea God and the God of Wind had been left there, and there seemed to be traces of Magic - just like "Arm of Dorne" broke into Stepstones.

In reality, this bay is almost covered with reefs, and there are reports of ships hitting rocks and sinking here every year.

This is not bad. If there is a big storm, not to mention people, even a piece of ship plank may not be recovered.

It's simply the Westeros version of the Bermuda Triangle.

Many years ago, Robert's parents and the former Duke and Duchess of Storm's End, who were looking for a suitable bride for Prince Rhaegar, had an accident in Shipbreaker Bay. The place where Storm's End was built was the inner bank of Shipbreaker Bay.

Relatively speaking, Tarth, with its bright scenery and calm breeze, is not only the outer sea shield of Storm's End, but also a unique island in itself. It can be called the jewel between Shipbreaker Bay and Narrow Sea.

While talking, Storm Dancer and Black Beth approached the dock one after another.

The blue water is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the colorful corals and schools of fish swimming under the water. The sunlight shines on the sea level, reflecting the luster like gems.

The name "Sapphire Isle" is indeed true.

Many people are confused about the truth of this name, which often causes some people to misunderstand that the island is rich in sapphires...

Titus thought strangely, how come Tarth seems to have taken away the luck of Shipbreaker Bay and Storm's End, even though they are only separated by a bay, they have two distinct painting styles?

Tarth used to be an independent island country. After Storm King "Beautiful Man" Durran married the daughter of Tarth King "Evenstar" Eddard Wen, the big island was merged into the Storm King country.

The people on this island also believe in Seven, but they also worship a legendary hero "Morning Light" Galladon, both nobles and commoners.

Galladon is a well-known legendary knight on Tarth, and is a model of the perfect knight.

Legend has it that Galladon's courage once won the admiration of "Maiden", one of Seven, and "Maiden" gave him a magic sword called "Lady of Justice" to represent her love for the knight.

No sword can rival "Lady of Justice", and no mortal shield can withstand the swing of this sword.

Gen said that Galladon had only used this magic sword three times in his life, and never once on humans, because that would be too unfair to mortals. Some even said that Galladon had killed a dragon with this sword.

Titus feels that this wave of publicity is a bit powerful. Sword of the Morning's "Dawn" has been spread seriously for ten thousand years, but it has never been so bizarre.

Due to Andrew Tarth's relationship, Titus and his party specially disembarked to see each other off, and under Andrew's enthusiastic guidance, they came to the Evenfall Hall of Tarth West Coast as guests.

This is the city where House Tarth lives. They visited the owner of this place, "Evenstar" Selwyn·Earl of Tarth.

The patriarch and heir of the Tarth family will all have the title "Evenstar". Their family has a long history, and they have been married to Baratheon, the current owner of Storm King Durrandon, Storm's End, and even Targaryen.

Selwyn·Tarth looks a bit rich. He was very happy to see his brother Andrew return to the island. He also treated Starpike everyone who came here in a kind manner.

He looks like an ordinary middle-aged handsome guy who is easy to get along with, but it is impossible to tell that this Evenfall Hall Earl and Tarth lord is actually a super scumbag far beyond Titus and Rhaegar.

According to legend, this old boy's wife died a long time ago. Since then, he has evolved from a pure love god of war to a playboy.

After opening the door to the new world, almost every year, a new mistress will become the temporary hostess of the Evenfall Hall.

I change it every year without missing a beat. It's even more awesome than "the Unworthy" or "Aegon IV".

Titus gives this big brother a thumbs up in his heart.

It's still early and it's not time to hold a dinner party yet.

After a brief meeting, Titus and others, led by a beautiful dark-skinned maid named "Nadia", went to the guest room to take a rest.

Not long after settling in, there was a burst of noisy shouting outside the guest room, and then, it seemed that the whole Evenfall Hall was in chaos. The Mystery of Sapphire and Nadia:
