#197 - Chapter 7: Not Interested (Part 2)

Despite it not being his first time seeing a dragon, Case was still very nervous. He carefully approached Liu Yuan and said, "My lord, our informants in the Dothraki Sea have sent back the latest news. Khal Drogo is seriously ill and can no longer ride a horse, and his khalasar has fallen apart. From what we currently understand, the khalasar has split into four parts. Jhogo Ko has led his khas to become a khal on his own; Bono Ko has also led his khas to become independent, and he has also won over a considerable number of Drogo's direct tribes, making him the most powerful force. Most of the tribesmen who were not divided by the two khals have defected to the neighboring old power, Moro Ko. As for the remaining people, most of them are the old, weak, women, and children, and they have chosen to continue following Khaleesi. Shireen has already infiltrated them, and the last news is that they have entered the Red Waste. It may be that they are worried that after the Khal dies, Daenerys will be sent to Vaes Dothrak to join the dosh khaleen, and her followers will become slaves."

Liu Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him, "Alright, I know. Notify Misda that our Dothraki allies are finished. If any organized khalasar dares to cross the Rhoyne, give them a severe blow! If the troops are insufficient, the Myrish Company and the North Wind Company will fully cooperate." He roughly knew what would happen next. The red comet had already appeared, and it was estimated that Drogo was dead. With men and children sacrificed to the heavens, Daenerys's three dragons should have hatched! The Dothraki people have always been nomadic, and Liu Yuan's Embroidered Uniform Guard cannot establish stable communication channels. It is already very good to be able to send back these messages in time.

Case bowed, "Yes, my lord, I will arrange it now." As he left, his eyes kept looking at the dragon's graceful figure.

Leviathan seemed to be enjoying such gazes, changed its posture, and continued to pose there. The surrounding crowd let out bursts of exclamations. Putting aside the initial panic, what followed was admiration and pride. This was a dragon! A legendary dragon that swept away everything. With it, the lord was more important than the king!

Originally, only those with Valyrian dragonlord blood could approach and touch the dragon. But Leviathan was different. It was raised by Liu Yuan since childhood. Having a master stronger than a dragon, it naturally couldn't be arrogant. Daring to resist would result in a big slap, which would also cause psychological damage to the young dragon.

As long as the master allowed, not only Nina and Rickon could approach, but also Liu Yuan's guards could touch it. They were installing special saddles on the dragon's back. After the elemental revival, Leviathan seemed to have become even bigger.

Another guard rushed over, "My lord, a white raven has flown from the Citadel."

Liu Yuan nodded, "Yes, I know. Anything else?"

Guard: "A team of messengers has arrived at the northwest ferry, claiming to be the envoys of the King in the North. They have Robb's autograph letter to give to you. Also, they hope to see Master Rickon, because the situation is special, the guard captain did not let them in, and currently kept them at the water gate." He glanced at Leviathan as he spoke.

Liu Yuan: "I know, take them to the guest house in the west of the city. Treat them well, and I will take Rickon there then."

Torren Karstark was the youngest son of Count Karstark, one of the thirty Northern noble children who followed Robb the earliest, and also one of Robb's personal guards. Liu Yuan had trained him when he was teaching Robb, and he was relatively familiar with him, and he had been beaten by him a lot when he was a child.

This time Torren came on orders. Robb's intention was to have Ser Jaron join the Northern army. This way, Robb could either go north to besiege Tywin at Harrenhal, or go south to force Joffrey to hand over Sansa and Arya. But as soon as he arrived in Thorns City, he was stunned by the scene in front of him. He couldn't see the end of the city wall along the river bank. They managed to find a fishing boat to cross the river, entered the city through the water gate, which was a barbican-like dock.

After reporting his identity, Torren and his party were temporarily placed on the dock by the Blue Armor soldiers. This dock was very lively, mainly with fishing boats and merchant ships. However, the ships and personnel had the same markings, and they were all working for Thorns City.

Before long, they were taken away by a carriage. Leaving the barbican, the view suddenly opened up, and what came into view was a farmland, with mountains, rivers, and forests in the distance. The entire territory was actually circled by city walls, and many farmers were working in the fields, as many as one or two thousand. A flat road ran through the town-like residential area, and smoke curled up from the neat houses.

The Blue Armor soldier leading the way introduced: "This is the northwest area of Thorns City, mainly engaged in fishery products and leather tanning and post-processing. The smell may not be very good, please forgive me!"

Torren asked: "Northwest area! So how many areas does Thorns City have?"

The soldier said without hesitation: "Thorns City is divided into nine areas. The lord ordered to send you to the guest house. We will be there soon. Would you like to have a meal or take a bath first?"

Torren was dumbfounded and casually replied: "Take a bath!" As the son of a lord, he understood what this meant. Just in the northwest area, according to his visual estimation, there were at least two or three thousand young adults, and the population was nearly ten thousand. Kahor City had such a large territory, but only less than six thousand people, and this was still after gathering many refugees from the Gift. According to the normal proportion of conscription, Ser Jaron had at least more than ten thousand troops, no wonder he didn't take King's Landing's orders seriously.

After Torren and his party bathed, the guest house provided suitable new clothes. They were led by the waiter to the restaurant, and saw Liu Yuan and Rickon looking at him with a smile.

Torren stroked his chest and saluted: "Mr. Jaron, hello! Greetings, Master Rickon!"

Liu Yuan waved his hand: "Sit down! You have grown up, no need for so much courtesy. I heard that you performed well on the battlefield, and you and a few others captured Jaime together. Next time, don't hold back, especially against such masters, kill them if you can, or you won't know how you die."

Torren: "Mr. Jaron, your lesson is right, I will pay attention next time. This is His Majesty Robb's autograph letter. He has always been thinking of you, and thanks you for fighting against the Red Keep for Rickon's sake. And Rickon, Lady Catelyn misses you very much, and hopes to take you back to reunite with her."

Liu Yuan took the letter: "You have worked hard all the way, let's eat first! You know the level of my chef."

Torren was very happy: "Thank you, sir. To be honest, we have been on the expedition for several months, and we haven't had a comfortable meal."

Liu Yuan raised his hand. The seal on the letter was intact. Liu Yuan tore it open and began to read.
