Chapter 123 The Eyes of the Falcon
Evan Arryn exhaled white mist and looked at Melisandre, who was only wrapped in a thin red robe, with some surprise.
"Aren't you followers of the Red God afraid of the cold?" Evan Aylin opened his mouth slightly and asked curiously.
"Who said that?" Ma Qiluo trembled on his lips, "Damn it, your lord lives on such a high mountain, isn't he afraid of the cold?" He was wrapped in a thick brown robe, and Ma Qiluo's eye-catching bone-white beard and hair were at this moment It didn't snake outside, but was tightly wrapped in the robe.
Evan Aylin showed a playful smile, "Falcons are flying in the sky, and the eagle's nest is naturally on the high mountain."
Melisandre did not participate in their discussion, but looked at Mia Shidong who was leading the way up the mountain.
Mia wiped away her short hair that was blocking her vision. She felt a little aggrieved, and she rarely paid attention to the people behind her who wanted to go up the mountain.
Her originally messy short hair was trimmed by the master at the Gates of the Moon into a neat, ear-length hair. The people at the Gates of the Moon praised her for being much cuter now.
But when she was filled with joy and wanted to go up the mountain to see Attis, she heard that the Duke had a new love.
She firmly grasped the cracked stone in her palm and threw it into the air.
Mia glanced at Melisandre behind her. Even she, a woman, would be inadvertently attracted to the red robe in front of her, curious about what kind of body was hidden under the red robe.
Melisandre's red eyes met Mia's, and the latter quickly moved her eyes away, muttering: "Watch your steps, noble gentlemen."
"I am not a noble lord of Westeros," Magiro spoke in Valyrian, obviously not wanting Mia and Evan Arryn to hear, "I am just a servant of the Red God, a poor An orphan taken in by a red-robed monk.”
Evan Arryn's eyes focused on Magiro, "Red monk, I warned you." He spoke in Valyrian.
Ma Qiluo looked at Evan Aylin in surprise, "You are simply an all-rounder. You can make drugs to stun guards, hide your face and identity, and you can also speak the language of the Eastern Continent. Are you a faceless man?"
Evan Aylin did not reply, but just walked forward, "Please hurry up, madam, I think it will get dark soon."
Mia shook her head, "It can't be fast. Go to the castle ahead to rest as night approaches. I guess you won't be able to reach the Eagle's Nest City before tonight."
The setting sun sets on the slope of the mountainside, the woods cast an orange-red glow, and the path surrounded by woods is exposed to pedestrians.
"We are almost at Weiyan Castle. It is still too dangerous to climb the mountain at night. It is better for us to rest here." Mia Shidong stood at the corner of the hillside and said to the staggering red-robed monk behind him.
"It should have been like this a long time ago, haha." Magiro followed Mia excitedly as if he had seen the guidance of R'hllor's holy fire.
Evan Aylin frowned slightly, "The date that Duke Attis and I agreed to is today."
Mia Stone muttered, "Mountain climbing at night is a death, ser."
Melisandre continued to look at the dark-haired and somewhat handsome tomboy in front of her, thoughtfully.
"Do you know Attis Arryn?" she asked aloud.
Mia Shidong looked at the red-robed woman with some dissatisfaction, obviously dissatisfied with the introduction of this topic.
"Obviously you are very familiar with her?" Melisandre looked at the short-haired girl in front of her with her eyebrows knitted together, and the corners of her mouth curved upward.
"No." Mia Shidong retorted instinctively, but her face was caressed by warm hands. Melisandre's red eyes came closer to Mia, staring into her eyes, and her expression became solemn.
"What?" Mia Shidong discovered in horror that under the gaze of the red-robed woman, she was instinctively attracted, and her body seemed to be frozen in place. Mia looked into the red-robed woman's eyes, showing timidity in her heart .
Melisandre calmed down her solemn expression and looked at Mia with a smile, "Do you know your father?" she asked.
"No, I don't know." Mia only remembered that when she was a child, there was a man who often visited the door, lifted himself high, and spun around.
All that was left in this memory was the emotion of joy. As for the man's identity, Mia didn't care.
"Very good." Melisandre's praise made Mia confused, but the red robe woman stopped looking at her, which made her relieved.
The heavy city gate of Perilous Rock Castle was open. The Canyon Knight guarding the fortress thought that he was very familiar with Mia, so he went out of the city to greet Mia. When he saw a woman among the group, the gentleman led the horse to Melisandre. In front of He Mia, he asked them to mount their horses and enter the city, and promised to arrange a donkey for each of them as a mount.
"This girl, what did you see?" Magi Luo walked up to her and asked. "Noble blood." Melisandre replied lightly.
"The illegitimate son of the Aylin family?" Magi Luo raised his eyebrows slightly and guessed.
Melisandre did not continue to respond, "It's time to rest, Maggiore." She turned and walked back to her room.
The main hall of the Eagle's Nest City was empty, leaving Attis Arryn alone facing the wall, staring at the blue-patterned white stone wall, like a blue sky covered by clouds and mist.
The long and narrow arched windows were embedded in the walls of the main hall, and burning pillars of fire were inserted into them. The still flames suddenly danced at this moment, reflecting in Attis's eyes.
Attis stared at the flames, which were swaying in the windless main hall, but could not see any images.
"Sir, Ser Evan Arryn wishes to see you." Ange said in front of the door.
"Let him in," said Attis.
Evan Aylin walked in cautiously, without making a sound, and knelt down on one knee.
"Duke Attis, I brought the red-robed monk you wanted to the Eagle's Nest City for you." Evan raised his eyes and looked at Attis, who was meditating in front of the Falcon Throne, and kept kneeling.
Attis sat on the throne, stroking the weirwood seat with his fingers. "Seagull Town sent a warning early, trying to get a wanted warrant from Nestor Royce for a wanted Volantis." The red-robed monk.”
Evan lowered his head tightly, waiting for Attis' inquiry and made no sound.
"Did you kidnap him?" Attis asked.
Evan Aylin raised his head, "Yes, Duke Attis, I follow your instructions. No one will think that these two red-robed monks will come to the Eagle's Nest City, whether they are nobles or commoners."
Attis sat quietly on the throne, listening to how Evan Arryn brought the red monk out of the Shet family's prison, and how he led them through the Arryn Valley to the Eagle's Nest City.
After saying this, Evan suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried his best to remain calm and look at Attis Aylin who was above him.
Attis didn't seem to hear Evan's description, and just looked at Evan Aylin calmly.
"I have a question, and I don't know what your answer is." Attis said.
Evan asked tentatively: "What is your question?"
"What do you think Renly, Stannis and the Eagle's Nest should make if they pursue the best interests of the Arryn family?" Attis looked at Evan Arryn. The man in front of him was very good at doing things. He hoped that he could There was an answer that satisfied him.
Evan Aylin frowned and took a deep breath, "I think there is no need to support either of them"
Attis leaned on the back of the Falcon Throne chair, "I would like to hear the details."
"The army came to the king, kidnapped King Joffrey, and ordered the seven kingdoms to surrender." Evan Aylin hesitated for a moment and gave an unexpected answer.
The head and branch of the Aelin family, the lord of the valley and the minor nobles looked at each other in silence.
The flames on the fire pillar stopped swaying, and it seemed to be silent for a long time. Attis took the initiative to break the silence in the main hall, "You have ruthlessness and cleverness, but there are shortcomings."
Attis walked down the platform and said, "I want to create a new position. I wonder if you are willing to take it."
Evan Aylin felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and this emotion burned his chest like a flame, "I am a member of the Aylin family, and I will naturally obey the Duke's orders."
"An eagle soaring in the sky needs a pair of eyes that overlooks the overall situation." Attis stared into Evan Aylin's eyes and said.
"Where should I go?" Evan Ayling asked.
"King's Landing, that lonely city, sooner or later a real king will settle in. We need to prepare early." Attis said.
