Chapter 162 White Harbor

The White Blade River rises from Gushan, crosses half of the northern border, and runs into Biting Bay.

The river surface is gray in the morning. In children's stories, singing mermaids and man-eating sirens are hidden in the mist of the sea.

Of course, some people have said that there are sea monsters and huge sea dragons that can open their mouths and swallow merchant ships hidden in the sea.

At the end of autumn, few fishing boats go to Biting Bay anymore.

A solitary ship broke through the waves on the blurry sea surface. The confused White Harbor sentry huddled under the railing of the sentry tower. A bonfire was raised under the sentry tower. The soldiers huddled and passed beer bags to each other.

Talking about girls in brothels or the war in the south.

"Hey, hey, a ship is coming!" The people on the sentry tower suddenly shouted to them.

The soldiers looked towards the sea and saw a ship slowly approaching in the fog. They stood up in a panic and picked up the weapons beside the campfire.

White Harbor was on war alert, and the sentries quickly blew their horns.

Soon the army stationed at the port also sent ships to negotiate.

The Sea Spirit was a warship with fifty oarsmen. A red-robed shadow on the deck flickered in and out of the mist, and a spark flashed like a monster's eyes.

She stared intently at the flames.

"Look, there's a fish there." Edric Storm pointed to the sea. The wind and waves were calm today, and the two children were allowed to walk onto the deck.

Shireen wore a hood and tilted her head to one side as much as possible. She looked at the sea with melancholy in her eyes.

Edric knew what he was worried about, "Cousin, Uncle Stannis will be fine. My father said that although he is not good at charging into battle, as long as he stands in the castle, it is the strongest place in the Seven Kingdoms. In Storm's End, he defeated the armies of the Reach twice."

"Really?" she asked innocently.

Edric grinned, "Of course, after my father, Uncle Stannis is the bravest man in the Seven Kingdoms."

"What about Cole?"

Edric pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "He must be third!"

"Hey, it seems a ship is coming." Edric looked at the harbor in the distance and saw a large ship sailing towards them. He looked carefully at the flag hanging on the ship. It was a white flag on a blue-green background. A mermaid with a beard and a tail, holding a black trident.

Edric didn't like to remember the coats of arms of these families, so he scratched his head and thought hard but couldn't remember which family it was. He could only ask his cousin, "Look, there seems to be a mermaid on that boat."

"Maester Pyros said that the Mermaid Family is Mandalay of White Harbor in the North." Shireen explained his doubts.

Eric's face was full of confusion. They had been staying in the cabin and had no idea where the ship was going. They only knew that they had been rocking on the sea for four days.

"Ships from the North? Why are they here?" He looked at the port. This was not the Storm's End he was familiar with.

The icy sea breeze blew by, and he heard the voice of Sir Axel Florent speaking over there, "Hoist our flag!"

Several flags of the Crowned Stag with a flaming red heart were hoisted aboard the Sea Spirit.

The battleship coming from the port was much more powerful than the Sea Spirit, with at least a hundred oars protruding from the hull.

They shouted to the Sea Spirit from the ship.

Ser Axel asked them to identify himself.

After some negotiations, the White Harbor battleship led the way for the Sea Spirit.

After hearing the news, Earl Mandalay in the Mermaid Palace was dissatisfied and scolded the knight in charge of the sentry. He believed that it was the knight's negligence to allow the warship to approach White Harbor before reacting.

After docking at the port, the Dragonstone Island group stepped onto the land from the Sea Spirit. They looked at this unfamiliar port in confusion.

"Why are we here?" the Bastard asked Ser Axel.

Jazz answered him coldly, "The King of Light guided me here, Your Highness."

The Lord of Light?

He naturally knew that his aunt, Queen Selyse Florent, was a loyal believer in the Lord of Light, and Davon Seaworth told them that these people were all followers.

Edric discovered that many of the people he met in the castle of Dragonstone believed in the new god.

"Aren't we going to Storm's End?" Princess Shireen also looked confused.

Queen Florent gently hugged the little princess from behind, "Shireen, Storm's End has been shrouded in darkness, and God points the light to the north."

Melisandre spoke at the side, "The Lord of the Savior will come to the north, and I just have to wait here. Allah R'hllor, the Lord of Light, the Heart of the Holy Flame, the God of Shadow and Fire, will fight here. The enemy in his destiny - the alien god from ancient times, the god of darkness, the soul of black ice, the god of night and fear.

The war in the South is nothing but a farce, Your Highness. The real battlefield is in the north. "

"Your father will lead the warriors of the King of Light to defeat the enemies of God here," the queen added.

Horse hooves sounded on the port, and a group of White Harbor Knights came from a distance. The White Harbor Knights enjoy a high reputation in the Seven Kingdoms. This is the place with the highest concentration of knights in the North. The Mandalay family still believes in the Seven Gods of the South.

The Knights of White Harbor were escorting a sedan, and a fat figure was being carried by four strong men and was walking slowly towards them.

The knights were lined up, the sedan was slowly lowered, and Earl Wyman Manderly stepped off the sedan with his fat and thick legs.

He was really fat. Edric looked at the fat man and looked at the chair behind him. He was curious, wouldn't this fat man crush the sedan? How much does he weigh?

His fingers were like sausages, and his palms looked like five pork sausages stuck into toast. He slightly saluted with his breaded sausage hands, and Edric couldn't even see his Where the waist is, all I can see is a broad belly.

'Mr. Pork Sausage' said: "Dear Lady Baratheon, White Harbor welcomes you."

He turned to the little girl behind the queen and said, "This must be Lord Stannis's daughter. Say hello to you, beautiful lady."

After some greetings, Lord Mandalay invited them to his castle, where the hall was named "Mermaid Palace".

Shireen and Edric walked side by side, talking quietly.

"Mermaid Palace? Is it a palace of mermaids? Will there be mermaids?"

Edric shook his head, "Mermaids live in the sea. If they come ashore, they will definitely die, just like they would if they fell into the sea."

"But they say Adin came out of the sea."

He thought about the legend about Patchface in the castle. They said that the mermaid taught him how to breathe in the water in exchange for his sperm and wisdom.

In Edric's opinion, Patchface was a stupid idiot, but he wasn't going to tell Shireen that.
