Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord

Chapter 45 Messenger Hassan

At this time, the night fell quietly, and the stars twinkled in the sky. Gavin looked at this strange and bloody town, knowing that this was just the beginning of a long journey.

The Stepstones are a series of islands located in the Narrow Sea, from the east of Dorne to the disputed land. Bloodstone Island is located in the north of the archipelago, and Grey Gallows Island is in the south. Bloodstone Island is the largest island in the Stepstones. It was once the focus of contention among various forces. Countless wars broke out here, and the blood of the warriors dyed the land red, giving it the name of "Bloodstone".

It is like a gem cursed by darkness, inlaid in the turbulent sea. The island is full of strange rocks and steep cliffs towering into the sky, as if it were the masterpiece of an ancient giant. The waves beat the reefs on the shore mercilessly, splashing white foam and making a deafening roar.

The whole town of Bloodstone is full of rough atmosphere. The architectural style here is relatively simple, mostly built of solid stone to resist sea breeze and possible invasion. The streets of the town are narrow and winding, with houses on both sides in a staggered manner. Some houses may have been baptized by the years, and the walls are covered with moss or vines, adding a sense of vicissitudes.

After a period of simple repairs, Gavin successfully took over the last remaining pirate force of Black Shark "Earl" with the same strategy. The other party was still unclear about the change of ownership of Bloodstone Island and the death of Black Shark "Earl", which led to Gavin's overwhelming victory and captured nearly a thousand pirates in one fell swoop.

Fortunately, each battle did not take place at sea, which allowed Gavin to smoothly and completely grasp the deterrent power of Black Shark "Earl" Earl, which was enough to cross the entire Stone Steps Archipelago, with nearly 70 warships, although Gavin's current manpower could operate less than half of the ships.

So far, the actual control of the entire Stone Steps Archipelago has fallen into Gavin's hands.

Two months later, Gavin led a team of blood dragon guards to patrol the streets of Bloodstone Town. Seeing the gradually bustling Bloodstone Town, he was very happy.

He originally planned to travel to the continent of Essos, and take advantage of the wars in several city-states to successfully obtain the blood dragon guards. If the blood dragon guards were strong enough, he would explore the dragon cave of the Belleris family. Unexpectedly, an accident allowed him to successfully obtain the Stone Steps Archipelago.

After completely controlling this sea area, Gavin called Boris and made the goods that he had not dared to take out before, and asked him to lead the islanders to expand production. At the same time, he took out a large number of gold dragons to build roads on the island and reclaim more farmland. At the same time, he released the news of the death of the black shark "Earl", took the initiative to withdraw from the area of ​​conflict with the Dornish, promised not to attack the merchant ships, and cracked down on nearby pirates.

Then he acted vigorously and sent envoys to Dorne and the Kingdom of the Three Daughters respectively, aiming to negotiate the restoration of trade routes, and planned to collect tolls according to the traditional plan. At the same time, Gavin sent his confidant Hassan to Highgarden with a letter, in order to seek legal basis for seizing the Stone Steps Islands.

According to the time calculation, most of the messengers sent by Gavin should have arrived at their destination.

At this moment, the name of Gavin Belleris resounded across the Straits and was prominently displayed in front of all major forces, attracting attention from all parties.

Hassan stood under the Highgarden Castle, his slightly tired body casting a long shadow in the morning sun. He slept in the open air and galloped day and night all the way, just to get to the magnificent Highgarden Castle as soon as possible. His clothes were stained with dust, his hair was messy, and his face was full of fatigue from running around, but his eyes were full of determination.

After a long and arduous journey, Hassan finally arrived at his destination this morning. He couldn't wait to deliver the extremely important letter to the owner of the castle. After handing over the message, Hassan waited quietly outside the castle, with a little trepidation in his heart.

Just as his master Gavin said, as long as he notified him, he would definitely be received.

Sure enough, less than an hour later, Hassan was respectfully led into Highgarden Castle by the castle servants.

Hassan was taken to a pavilion in the garden, where there were many flowers, green trees, and a breeze, bringing bursts of fragrance.

The first thing that caught his eye was a noble girl, she was wearing a gorgeous long dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on the hem. She had a beautiful face, snow-white skin, a pair of blue eyes like a deep lake, with a smart and curious look in her eyes, and a long brown hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, shining with a charming luster under the sunlight.

Then, Hassan noticed a lame man sitting in a wheelchair, he looked serious and solemn. He was wearing clothes of good quality but simple style, showing his extraordinary status. He held the armrest of the wheelchair tightly, his knuckles slightly white due to the force, as if thinking about something important.

Next to them sat an old man in a turban, his face full of wrinkles, like traces carved by time. A few strands of silver hair appeared under the turban, and his eyes revealed vicissitudes and wisdom. He sat there quietly, but gave people a calm and awe-inspiring feeling.

Hassan first looked at the girl and saluted respectfully, saying: "I guess you are Miss Margaery Tyrell. I send you greetings on behalf of my master, Gavin Bellerys, and I have brought you a letter from my master." After that, he handed the letter to the waiter beside him, and the waiter immediately entered the pavilion and handed it to Margaery.

Margaret opened the letter and read it carefully. Her expression was full of shock. Then she handed the letter to Lady Olena. She stretched her head to the side and couldn't wait to take a look, but was slapped by Olena. Willas realized his instability and sat back quietly until Olena finished reading it before giving him the letter.

Hassan watched the three people passing the letter without saying a word. He felt a little uneasy. From time to time, he glanced at the expressions of the three people, trying to catch a clue from them and guess whether the master's request could be realized. At this time, in the pavilion, except for the occasional bird calls, the atmosphere seemed particularly solemn. Hassan felt that every second of waiting was extremely long.

Willas was about to speak after reading the letter, but was stopped by Olena's eyes.

Olena first looked at Hassan and said slowly, "You must be exhausted after the long journey. Go downstairs and have something to eat and rest. We will reply to you later."

Hassan was still worried when he heard this, but he had to bow respectfully and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your understanding." Then, under the guidance of the messenger at the side, he slowly left the pavilion with a lot of worries and uneasiness.
