Chapter 152 151. Dragon Bone
"Even ignoring the kinship, the Lannister is still in Winterfell intent on murdering my disabled son."
Eddard's voice turned cold.
And Arya shouted in surprise: "Bran? How is he?!"
"He is fine, the assassin's throat was bitten by his direwolf. The assassin used this dagger at the scene, with a dragon bone handle and a Valyrian steel blade. It was the only one in Westeros, and it belonged to Tyrion Lannister."
‘Dragon Bone’, ‘Valyrian Steel’.
Two words that Lan En cared about were gathered on a dagger.
“Can you let me take a look?”
Ed nodded, and the dagger came out of his body with a 'clop' sound.
Lan En finally saw what this legendary steel looked like for the first time.
The steel pattern is like water waves, and the black part on the blade is as deep as a black smoke.
The handle of the knife was handed over to Lan En. The moment he reached out to touch it, Lan En realized that Gendry was indeed right.
The weight of this kind of steel is much lighter than the feel of his usual dagger.
To be clear, it is at least half lighter than normal metal! Just like the light aluminum alloy window frames of the hometown world.
When the keel handle was held, Lan En found that his roaring bear head necklace did not vibrate.
But when I used the magic power in my body to explore the dragon bone, an inexplicable feeling came to me.
——It is a realm where vitality and all things are competing.
Lan En thought of a sentence in "A Dance with Dragons": "The dragon will continue to grow in life until it dies. The largest known 'Black Death' Balerion , its mouth is wide enough to swallow a mammoth!”
According to Lan En’s calculation of the dragon’s size, this ‘Black Death’ is at least a terrifying creature with a wingspan of more than 200 meters.
It has more cards than the dragon in the magical world!
It's a size that won't lose any points on the set of Ultraman.
Lan En can feel the endless growth of the local dragons through this small bone.
"It's a good knife."
Lan became more sure that his interest in 'Dragon Bone' and 'Valyrian Steel' was valuable, and he returned the favor calmly. Return the dagger.
But then the conversation changed.
"It seems that Winterfell has sent you the news and the dagger, but why does the assassination use this weapon that is unique in the continent? Instead of this, why didn't Tyrion just let the assassin rush in calling his name? Go on a killing spree? This way you can save a unique dagger."
"I think that instead of doubting that Tyrion, you should tell me where you got this dagger. News?”
“I guess it’s one of your relatives again?”
Lan En looked up at Ed.
"You don't have to be so sarcastic about me. The provider of the information was a man who had a crush on my wife when he was young. My wife asked me to trust him."
"With all due respect, sir." The young demon hunter spread his hands.
“If everyone who is trusted by relatives is really trustworthy, then whether it is business, politics, or just work, everything in this world will be unimaginably easy.”
Ed opened his mouth, but couldn't refute at all.
"I can't help it." After a while, Ed, who looked serious, sighed.
“I have no one I can trust in King’s Landing.”
Lan En's expression did not change, he just nodded calmly.
If you have someone you can trust when you first take office, then there is a real problem. "Even if the situation is so bad, you can't rush to add others to your trust list. The betrayer will cause more harm than the enemy."
"At least, you should treat that person' Lady Lysa' and your 'wife's crush' are wary."
"In other words, you must have absolute trust in the king, right? Why don't you report to him directly?"
Ed couldn't help but press his temples when he heard his adopted brother's name. The look reminded Lan En of the feeling of being fed data by Mentos.
"Robert is so impulsive! If he knew about this, his first reaction would definitely be to attack the Lannister family, regardless of whether he had any evidence or excuses. But if he did it... the entire Westeros They will all be dragged directly into the war. The situation in the kingdom is very tense now, and a local conflict can ignite the entire situation!"
"The king's anger is often indifferent to me. We must find out what the former Prime Minister discovered, and that is what scares the enemy to the point of silencing him.”
I understand, the reckless pig teammates can actually make the enemy laugh.
"I understand. I will go talk to that attendant. As for you, please don't act rashly. There is no need to think about it now. The entire Prime Minister's Tower is being watched."
Ed pursed his lips and nodded. During this conversation, he was convinced that the young man in front of him was indeed more experienced and thoughtful than himself in some aspects.
Although he doesn’t know why he has such vision at his age, he can give himself some valuable insights in the strange King’s Landing of Boyun. To be honest, he feels much more relaxed now.
If he hadn't been sure that the conflict between Joffrey and Arya that day was a coincidence, and Arya's escape was also a coincidence, he would definitely not dare to trust Lan En now.
But now.
"Arilia." Ed Stark squatted down again, held his little daughter's arm, and looked at her seriously.
"I'm sorry for bringing you into this. You seem to have matured a lot since you ran away and got lost. I don't know if this is good or bad, but no matter what, you must at least protect yourself, understand?"< br>
"I understand. During this period, I will not run around again, and I will not leak today's conversation to anyone, not even Sansa!"
Arya's words made Eddard He smiled stiffly, then nodded towards Lan En, then turned and walked towards the dining hall.
He listened to Lan En's words.
When he ruled the North in the past, he could have been upright and fierce, because that land had been under the rule of his family for thousands of years.
But now that he was the Prime Minister in King's Landing, even though he was full of worries, he had to force a smile to eat normally, just to show off to others.
After Ed left, Aria turned and stared at Lan En.
“What are you looking at me for?”
The witcher asked strangely.
Aliya's face was serious.
"This is the first time I have seen my father being said to have a bad temper when talking to others. Lan En."
The little girl said with great certainty: "You are so strong!"
"Oh." The person who was praised was actually very mediocre. "If you can go to the imperial meeting and have a look, I think your father will be like this at the meeting table these days."
"Oh."
This time it was changed to Alia kept her face cold.
During the rest of the day, the commotion outside the Red Keep grew louder and louder, with crowds and traders excited as the tourney approached.
While Lan En was giving Aria a swordsmanship lesson in the Prime Minister's Tower.
Although they had to go to a knight consecrated by the king to "talk about their feelings" in the evening, neither Lan En nor Aria obviously regarded this as a very difficult thing.
