Chapter 52 Guests

Twin River City is not big, and it is not even accurate to say that it is a city, because its core building is actually the bridge. The so-called Twin River City is a bridge plus two huge bridgeheads at the head and tail of the bridge.

Clay and his party entered the city from the bridgehead on the east side of the Green Fork River, and were now not far from the city.

After looking at it, it was clear that this person had a higher status in the Frey family than the great-grandson Petyr Frey. Clay did not know who he was.

Petyr Frey left with an ugly expression. He could not afford to offend this old butler who had served the Marquis for decades. In the entire Frey family, with a few exceptions, who was not afraid of this seemingly mediocre person? old man.

If you offend him, as long as the old man whispers in the ears of the Marquis, you will be in bad luck. The ninety-year-old Marquis is often extremely arbitrary in his judgments on small family matters.

The soldiers left, the knights also left. The stranger in front of Clay didn't mean to introduce himself. He turned around and led the way. Seeing that Clay and others didn't move, he could only stop and add:

"I am the steward of the Marquis. No one in this city dares to impersonate me. Your Excellency invites all guests to go to the main castle. He has prepared salt and bread for you."

This is the very famous guest right in Westeros. After the guest enjoys the salt and bread of the host, during the subsequent guest period, neither party can harm each other. Violation will violate the sacred law, which is not tolerated by the old and new gods. of.

The nobles of the entire Westeros really believe this. There have been countless bloody battles on the battlefield and cold conspiracies in the palace in history, but few people have trampled on this law, which is actually not binding.

Even so, Clay, who knew what the Frey family was, didn't believe they would abide by any sacred guest rights.

To a certain extent, possessing magic power, he is closer to the gods than others, and he does not believe in any nonsense that is not tolerated by the old and new gods.

The Red Wedding happened, and the Frey family trampled on the rights of guests, but in fact nothing happened. Walder Frey's son became the master of Riverrun, and the family's territory expanded rapidly.

As for the assassin Wushuang who was later targeted by the Brotherhood Without Banners and Arya Stark, that had something to do with the old and new gods. It was purely because their security work was not done well.

…

After eating a small piece of salty bread, Clay stood in the main hall of the Twin River City and performed the guest rights ceremony.

Opposite him, at a slightly higher place, a huge black oak chair was placed. A thin old man in gray clothes huddled there, staring at Clay with a pair of small eyes.

There is no doubt that this is the ninety-year-old Lord of the Twins, Marquis Walder Frey.

Although he was extremely reluctant, regardless of his age and status, Clay was the only one who bowed first.

"The Mandalay family sends greetings. Dear Lord of the Twins, Clay Manderly thanks you for your gift."

An old man with sagging skin, no hair and no teeth has no sense of beauty when he smiles, especially when he is particularly ugly.

Marquis Walder Frey was very satisfied with Clay's attitude. The young heir was at least more polite than his grandfather, the old eel.

A hoarse voice came from the old vocal cords, and Marquis Frey said:

"Welcome, Clay Manderly, I believe you will be satisfied with the hospitality provided to you by the Twins, and the Frey family will ensure your safety."

Believe you, I might as well jump into the Green Fork River and drown... Clay thought to himself, but still had a smile on his face. He caressed his chest and saluted Marquis Frey, which concluded the ceremony of guest rights. .

Clay left the hall under the leadership of the butler. It was still some time before the evening. The official meeting was actually at the banquet in the evening. The main members of the Frey family would be present, including those who represented Clay Mander for him. Le prepared wife.

I don’t know why. Although White Harbor is by the sea and Twins is by the river, the room here is much humid than the room in White Harbor. As soon as he entered the house, Clay’s sensitive sense of smell told him that there was definitely something in this house. The place is moldy.

Clay, who had a living experience of -1, frowned and opened all the windows in the room, although this was of no use, because through the windows, he could see the Green Fork River flowing southward.

The fifty guards he brought were arranged in another building where the Frey family guards lived, but at the strong request of the guard captain, the ten guards and the guard captain moved into the room near Clay.

After the old housekeeper sent Clay into the room, he stood at the top of the stairs on this floor like a dead tree that refused to fall.

At first Clay didn't understand what this was doing, but after seeing waves of people trying to step onto this level, Clay understood what it was doing. Marquis Walder Frey sent a Door god to yourself.

It has to be said that Marquis Frey's behavior is very much in line with Clay's wishes. He doesn't want to be disturbed at all, at least not now.

The captain of the guard insisted on checking Clay's room, and Clay obeyed.

This loyal guard captain didn't know that ordinary people really couldn't kill Clay after practicing basic wolf swordsmanship, five kinds of seals, and a strong physique that was immune to most poisons.

Moreover, Clay didn't do anything bad to break the engagement, so why did the Frey family want to kill him? If Clay were to die here, he absolutely believed that his old man would directly declare war on the Twins.

He had just arrived, so it was better to keep a low profile. He was waiting for an opportunity to contact the White Sea Guards lurking here. The blind analysis of the complex relationship between the Frey family members here was not as solid as the conclusions of these intelligence personnel. Although Clay knew very well that he could only believe half of it at most.

The sun was setting in the west and turning red at the same time. Clay couldn't feel the slightest chill here.

There was a knock on the door, and Clay, who was alone, heard the old voice of the housekeeper:

"Lord Clay, the dinner is ready. Lord Marquis invites you to the main castle hall for the banquet. Please come with me."

Nodding slightly, Clay adjusted the luxurious clothes that he had already changed into. This kind of image skill is really useless when it is useless, but sometimes it can play a big role.

After walking forward in the narrow and dark corridor, about ten minutes later, Clay arrived at the main castle hall that he had visited in the afternoon.

Through the thick oak door that was half open, Clay heard the roar of people. The sound was not one or two people shouting loudly, but the buzz produced by a group of people talking in low voices.

It seems that what Marquis Frey said is right. Most members of the Frey family are indeed here. Otherwise, there would not be so many people. Taking a deep breath, Clay pushed open the door that seemed to separate two worlds. door.
