Game of Thrones Overlord Conquest

Chapter 217 Dangerous Seas

The hundreds of islands in Braavos divide the entire city into many areas.

The salt water between the areas is called rivers by the locals, which is a name that is not understood by outsiders.

However, the people of Braavos do treat them as rivers. They have built many stone arch bridges on them to connect the entire city.

Although these stone bridges make transportation very convenient, the fastest way for people to travel is still by boat.

This is the twenty-fourth night since Arya came to Braavos. It was very quiet that day, without any wind. The sky was clear. There was a glowing crescent moon in the east and many shining stars in the west.

"Come on!"

Jaquin, who changed his face, stood on a shrimp boat, staring at Arya.

The little wolf girl of the Stark family was not afraid at all. She looked at Jaquin curiously. This disguise technique that could change her appearance made her feel very magical.

But Arya could tell the current situation clearly. She remembered Barristan's advice and promised Jaqen:

"When I return to the North, you will pay off your debt of life."

"The Red God is the creditor, lovely girl. Only death can exchange for life. The girl took three lives that belonged to him, and the girl must take out three to repay."

Jaqen's voice was very calm, as if he was telling a very kind thing.

"Girl, say the name, someone goes to do the job, and someone must die."

After saying that, he bowed and turned back into the darkness.

Arya has always been difficult to discipline. This time, she experienced that kind of stubbornness from others, but she had no choice now, but to agree with Jaqen's insistence.

The night passed in silence, and there was no sound from the dock. Arya boarded the ship and felt the change in the weather.

The thick clouds and fog floating from the swamps on the eastern coast made the weather wet and stuffy. The sound of the sea water hitting the side of the ship seemed to become louder, and the messy hair on her head began to get wet.

When the sky gradually brightened, the whole world seemed to have changed. There was fog floating around, and the scene ahead could not be seen at all.

This is Braavos, the "secret city" shrouded in fog.

In such weather, the boat slowly crossed the calm river and came to the gorge guarded by the Titan.

Compared with the city, the fog here has receded a little, and the shrimp boat finally raised the sail and began to sail at full speed.

Arya looked at the Titan with a heavy heart as he gradually became blurred and disappeared in the fog. She didn't know whether she wanted to see Barristan's figure appear.

"In this fog, ordinary people can't find the direction. If you want to turn back, it's not too late now."

Jaqen's voice came from behind Arya. He always appeared mysteriously and disappeared mysteriously.

The little wolf girl did not give an answer. She was like a child who ran away from home. She wanted her old father to find her, but was afraid that he would find her.

It turned out that Jaqen was telling the truth. Until the afternoon, Barristan's figure did not appear.

"Everything is fine."

Arya encouraged herself secretly. The way home was very difficult, but she would definitely be able to complete it in the end.

The sunset had begun to cover the earth. Arya sat on the deck to rest, listening to the sound of waves coming from the sea like thousands of troops. Her mood was as low as the sky.

At this moment, the sea in front of her suddenly changed.

The clouds were getting lower and lower, making bursts of rumbling sounds, and lightning illuminated the entire sky. Heavy rain poured down like a curtain.

The shrimp boat seemed particularly small in the storm. They couldn't turn or stop at all, so they could only face it bravely.

The storm pushed the boat forward quickly, constantly, like a wild horse running away.

Arya held on to the side of the boat tightly, staring at the scene in front of her, and couldn't help murmuring and wailing in her heart:

"This is so spectacular and terrifying. As long as I have a chance to leave this ship, I will never dare to play in the water again, let alone in the sea!"

"Don't be afraid!"

Jaquin's calm voice came from behind her. Arya turned around reluctantly and saw someone standing with his head held high, his black hair flying in the wind, and his eyes shining.

"Death is a gift from God, it is the end of pain, and all mortals have to die!"

The storm at sea was terrifying and dark, filled with the roar of wind and thunder.

But soon, Arya saw a blood-red light shooting in, and it kept getting stronger.

Suddenly, the sailboat passed the storm belt and entered the colorful sky.

The sun was about to disappear on the sea, but it still lit up the world like a bright lamp. The turbulent waves were now extremely quiet, with only the rumbling thunder coming from behind.

However, the crisis of the sea did not stop.

The western sea was gradually covered by shadows, and large sailing ships lined up in a neat row and sailed towards them.

"It's Stannis's pirates!"

The lookout pointed at the flag on the mast of the large sailing ship and shouted:

"They found us!"

Unfortunately, these roars would only appear more weak and vulnerable in the face of absolute strength. Facing nearly a hundred large sailing ships, a small shrimp boat had no power to resist.

The pirates dragged the shrimp boat to the side of the large sailing ship, then lowered the rope and pulled the captives aboard one by one.

Seeing that the mysterious Jaqen surrendered, Arya also climbed onto the pirate ship with the other crew members.

"Bravosi, is there a Bravosi fleet nearby?"

A richly dressed pirate captain wearing a fan-shaped hat with a peacock feather stood in front of them.

Seeing that no one answered the question, the pirate captain took out his scimitar from its sheath and pointed it at one of the prisoners.

The shining blade was pressed against the prisoner's neck. The cold touch and slight stinging sensation made him tremble.

"Braavosi, my patience is very limited and my blade is very sharp."

While interrogating, the pirate captain looked at all the prisoners. He was looking for the most timid one among them, or the reason why this group of people remained silent.

The captives avoided his gaze and did not dare to look at him. The pirate captain's eyes slowly turned towards Arya.

"Child, I'm worried about you." He walked up to the little wolf girl and said:

"If I guess correctly, you are not a Braavosian, then you have no reason to keep secrets for Braavos, and the fate of others has nothing to do with you."

"Especially you should be more careful. You are the outlier among them. Thinking of this makes me feel heavy."

"In that case, wouldn't it be convenient for me to come down and talk to you? It would make me feel better. Maybe the two of us can find common topics in each other."
