A certain sword soul's infinite journey

Lin Yi reached out and patted Yoren's shoulder.

"The Mountain is heading for Darry with his cavalry, Vargo and his 'Blood Mummers' are looting, Beric and his Brothers Without Banners are harassing Lannister's forage troops... Yoren , the river land is not safe, even with these armors..."

Yoren nodded when he heard the words. He didn't say that the Night Watchmen would not participate in any wars. From the behavior of the few gold robes before, it can be seen that the lords of the southern border have long since ignored these things.

"Let's rest here tonight, if possible, leave tomorrow morning."

Yoren said.

"Um……"

Lin Yi nodded, walked to the counter and sat down, reached out and stroked Arya's hair, and asked casually.

"How's the search going, are there any boats left?"

Yoren's face froze when he heard that, then he shook his head.

"The boats are all gone," Arya said first.

"That's right." Yoren nodded. "There are many piers in the town, but we only found an upside-down rowing boat, which was thrown on the reef. The bottom of the boat is rotten, and it must be impossible to launch it into the water."

"But we found a lot of old sails and a bucket of nails." Cos said, "We can mend the bottom of the rowboat."

"That's only one."

Yoren shook his head. It looked as if he had given up on the waterway, or else he would not have said the words of leaving tomorrow morning.

But this is the land of the river after all, and the speed of the carriage is too slow.

"We can build our own boat!"

Said the cheerful Kejack on the side.

"Ha! When will our master stonemason build ships?"

Yoren sneered.

Kejack didn't care about these sarcasms, he pursed his lips and said it regrettably.

"I really know how to make a stone boat, but it's a pity that this thing is too time-consuming and can't float..."

"We could make a big raft," Gendry suggested.

"Do you think it's easy to make a raft?" Lin Yi shook his head, "We still carry so many things, we have to hollow out the middle of the wood to float—unless you are willing to leave the armor behind."

"..."

Everyone immediately looked at each other.

It could be seen that none of them wanted to throw away this layer of life-saving iron skin on their bodies.

"However, this is indeed a feasible idea. Everyone think about it, what else can be done." Yoren encouraged.

"If only there were bamboo!"

Arya muttered.

Lin Yi thought for a while, and waved to You Lun.

Yoren understood immediately, and the two stepped aside.

"Aside from medicines and spices, leave everything else behind..."

Lin Yi said.

"Huh?" Yoren was taken aback. "Are those pig irons also left behind? Castle Black needs supplies..."

"These things can be replenished in the north, do you think Arya will help you?"

Hearing Lin Yi's words, You Lun's thoughts suddenly brightened.

But he still hesitated.

After thinking for a while, Yoren nodded resolutely.

"Okay, let's do this! We already have finished weapons and armor, so let's throw these pig iron bars here."

"You can also bring pens, ink, cloth and the like, but if the raft is not empty, we have to wade through the shallow water."

Lin Yi continued talking.

"If you go to the shallow water area along the shore of God's Eye Lake, you don't need a carriage, and there is no shortage of food. The poles are sharpened so that you can spear fish, and there are often ducks on the shore of the lake..."

"Ok!"

Yoren nodded, his thoughts widening.

"But the horse can't be left behind. After all, you still need to go by land to cross the God's Eye Lake."

"A team can be arranged to ride along the shore of God's Eye Lake on horseback," Lin Yi said. "Without a carriage, the speed of riding along the path by the lake will not be slower than that of a boat."

"Just do it!" Yoren concluded, "But if you do this, you won't be able to leave tomorrow morning."

"Then stay here for a few days." Lin Yi nodded, "Then I'll go by land, can you row?"

Yoren: "..."

"Don't tell me you can't..." Lin Yi looked at him suspiciously.

"I would." Yoren seemed to have only thought of this worrying question, "but our team must have more than one boat..."

These guys in the team are all bitter people in the streets and alleys. They have never been out of King's Landing City in their life, so expect them to know how to punt?

Do not make jokes!

"It's ok……"

Lin Yi didn't care, he said with a smile.

"This thing doesn't have much technical content, and the sails and oars are ready-made. Just put the supplies on your boat when the time comes, and let them go to their boat. The worst thing is that the boat capsizes. The more it capsizes , the faster you learn..."

"It has to be like this..."

Yoren nodded.

……

That night, Yoren sent six people to take turns to watch the night, and everyone spent the night in the hotel and the shelter of the manor.

But Arya couldn't sleep.

When Lin Yi came back, she keenly discovered a very serious problem

The sword on Lin Yi's waist has changed!

Others may not think this is a big deal, but as Lin Yi's student, Arya knows how important a sword is to a swordsman.

The sword is the extension of the swordsman's hands and feet, and the most important thing for a swordsman after learning the sword is to find the sword that suits him best.

Just like the 'sewing needle' in her hand, if it is not necessary, she may never change another sword in her life.

Arya leaned against the wall of the hotel, with Hot Pie sleeping in her armor beside her.

After thinking about it, she stood up gently.

"Where do you want to go?"

Gendry's voice came from the side.

Arya glanced at him, still walking.

"Go pee..."

"..."

The corner of Gendry's mouth twitched, he lowered his head, and continued to wipe his horn helmet—he did it every day before going to bed.

Walking out of the hotel, Arya looked around, and just as she was about to take a step, a hand was placed on her shoulder.

But Arya didn't panic because of this, she turned around with a little surprise and whispered.

"teacher!"

"Shh-"

Lin Yi stopped her movements.

"Remember? Stay alert, Arya."

"...No one can get close to me like this except you." Arya pouted.

But immediately, Arya asked impatiently.

"Teacher, I have a question to ask you..."

Lin Yi smiled.

"You want to ask, where did my sword go, right..."

Chapter 37 Thunder strikes

On the roof of the barn, two figures, one large and one small, were lying on it.

Hearing Lin Yi's plain words, Arya's eyes widened.

"So, that guy named Amory is dead?"

"Ah."

Lin Yi nodded, with a handful of thatch randomly grabbed from the barn under his body.

"Tyrion didn't lie to me, it was the fellow who ordered the slaughter of this town."

But what Arya cared about was not whether Tyrion lied, she stared at Lin Yi with wide eyes.

"So... Teacher, you killed Amory in an army of 300 people, and then left intact?"

Lin Yi thought about the picture of himself wearing a skeleton armor and opening Wushuang... It seems that it is true to say so?

So Lin Yi nodded.

This time, Arya gradually opened her small mouth.

"However, Amory's marauding team is not the only one raging on this land. Whether it is the Magic Mountain or Wag, they are much more dangerous than Amory..."

Lin Yi tried again to instill vigilance in Arya.

But Arya didn't hear it at all. She stared at Lin Yi blankly, as if she was still immersed in the fantasy of "taking the head of the general among the ten thousand armies".

"Arya..."

Lin Yi called out softly.

"Ah, teacher."

Arya came back to her senses, her face flushed slightly, and she looked at him with some admiration.

Lin Yi enjoyed the little girl's gaze, but in order to prevent the child from imitating, he still added a sentence.

"Don't think too much, Arya, facing an army of more than a hundred, one person's strength is still too limited after all."

After all, even if it is a hundred pigs, you still have to kill them for a while, right?

Thinking of those fleeing soldiers, Lin Yi felt a little emotional.

In terms of force alone, Lin Yi, who is wearing heavy skeleton armor, can be regarded as a mighty general who can defeat tens of thousands of people, but after all, he is only one person, and he lacks skills, so it is impossible to really wipe out all the rogues and robbers in this land.

He can run across the river alone with a sword, but he can still run if he can't beat him. As long as four or five people run separately, Lin Yi will have to work hard, not to mention the fleeing army.

But Arya obviously made a mistake, and quickly comforted her.

"Even so, you are already very powerful. I have never heard of anyone who can come and go on the battlefield as freely as you!"

Lin Yi was startled when he heard the words, and then his face became a little strange.

Thinking back on the conversation just now, he seemed to suddenly understand what Arya was thinking.

This girl seemed to understand his description as an image of a swordsman who floated up, killed the thief leader, and then floated away.

After all, this is the growth direction that Lin Yi has always planned for Arya, and it is understandable to have such an understanding and imagination.

Thinking of the bloody and realistic painting style in his mind, Lin Yi opened his mouth hesitantly.

never mind!
