Chapter 218: Accidental
"You are so considerate.
Arya's eyes sparkled with tears, and her voice trembled as she answered:
"But I don't know what to do, and I dare not do anything, my lord, I dare not!"
"Don't dare, what do you dare not do? Is there someone here that scares you?" The pirate captain suddenly turned his head and glared at Arya.
The little wolf girl raised her head and felt cold all over. Her disguise was still too immature. She wanted to distance herself from the relationship, but she made more mistakes than words, and accidentally let the pirate in front of her find the right direction.
She noticed the dangerous light in the pirate captain's eyes, and she was really scared at this moment.
The weapon "Sewing Needle" was hidden by her on the shrimp boat, and now she didn't even have the last chance to resist.
However, the captain in front of her, who was wearing a bright coat woven with silver thread and had a slender and bright white curly hair, like a noble lord who was better than a pirate, did not do anything to her, nor did he continue to ask questions. His expression was still friendly and his tone was still considerate.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Salador Saan. "
"King Stannis Baratheon, the true and legitimate heir to the Iron Throne, appointed me as the Earl of Blackwater Bay and the Warden of the Narrow Sea. I have the right to inspect every passing ship and interrogate every suspicious person."
When Salador said this, his eyes were always looking east, and he was silently thinking in his heart:
"I'm sorry, great khal, my loyalty to you is visible to the gods, and this is all for your cause, please forgive me! "
Yes, this Saan is the same Salador Saan who swore allegiance to Mongol in Astapor.
Before Mongol marched to Qarth, he appointed him as the commander of the Dothraki Summer Sea Fleet, responsible for helping Norhat transport soldiers and attack the remaining city-states in Slaver Bay.
When Salador completed this task, he immediately thought of the great khal's entrustment to him, Braavos, and the Invincible Fleet.
Thinking of this, the ambitious fleet commander who came from a pirate lord family could no longer sit still.
Through the maester Bas Porter, he wrote to the great khal, requesting the right to move freely, and Mongol only replied him one sentence: "Yes."
So Salador Saan led the fleet to sail to the Stepstone Islands.
There is a series of islands located at the intersection of the Narrow Sea and the Summer Sea. The archipelago is a place of constant war and rampant pirates.
In the eyes of Salado Saan, the Stepstones are also his paradise and the source of his military strength. He wants to annex those islands and pirates to form a larger fleet.
The plan went smoothly. Although there are many pirates in the Stepstones, their strength is very scattered.
In addition, he himself was born a pirate and had been in the Stepstones for a period of time, and he was well-known.
This identity was easily recognized by the pirates and would not cause them to resist strongly.
Moreover, Salado, who had achieved success and fame and returned home in glory, has become the object of worship for many pirates.
He first used the means of division, enticement and bribery, and then eliminated several opponents with an extremely strong attitude, and then took Bloodstone Island and Gray Gallows Island. This is the list of pirates. The only two islands with names.
So far, the name of Salador Saan has been resounding throughout the southern part of the Narrow Sea. The pirates of the Stepstones and the Tyroshis who live here have given him the title of "Pirate Prince".
It was at this time that Stannis Baratheon sent troops to retake the Iron Throne. He sent people to meet Salador Saan and recruit him to join his navy.
Salador was an extremely cunning man. After a little consideration, he expanded his plan again. The letter reporting to Mongol alone took several pages.
At the same time, he also took advantage of the situation and sought a legal identity for himself.
Ordinary pirates do not receive such attention, let alone these appointments and titles. They are just hired. Only Salador Saan was awarded the title of Earl of Blackwater Bay and became the Guardian of the Narrow Sea.
It is also this A legal identity made Arya a little shaken and fell into a misunderstanding.
Moreover, after Salador Saan captured them, he did not kill anyone.
Compared with the gold cloaks and knights who hunted her and killed and set fire, he can be regarded as a good person.
In addition, she heard a rumor at the Braavos dock that her brother, King of the North Robb Stark, sent their mother Catelyn Tully to lobby Stannis and Renly in the confrontation, hoping to jointly attack Lannister and the Iron Throne with the Baratheon brothers.
Calculating the time, her mother may have arrived at Storm's End.
Arya, who was only ten years old, became more and more excited as she thought about it, and her heart and reason gradually leaned towards the good side.
Her face was flushed and tears flashed, which shocked Salador Saan.
What happened to this child? Has his reputation reached this level?
Hearing his name is enough to make children cry in fear.
Salador Saan turned around and paced impatiently:
"Don't cry!"
He shouted angrily to the other crew members:
"Take these guys away and interrogate them again and again. I suspect there is an important person among them!"
Salador waved his hands and walked anxiously.
"At this time, what a great leader and a great warrior should do is be kind and good. Yes, there is nothing wrong."
He was very irritable. After Stannis's navy and pirate identity, he was the blood guard of the great khal, the thousand-householder commander appointed by the King of Dothraki himself, and the commander of the fleet.
The latter placed too many restrictions on him. If he were just a pirate, he would have thrown these prisoners into the sea to feed the fishes.
In fact, he put too many restrictions on himself.
Because he is a smooth and smart person who can understand the thoughts of superiors.
The great Khal hoped to become a great king and be loved by his people, and he hoped that the Dothraki army would retain any conscience.
Then, he, Salado, must become a good person and a more conscientious person.
That's what goes up and works down.
It has to be said that Arya once again made a mistake and found the right direction.
Suddenly, Salladhor stopped and turned sharply to face Arya.
"what did you just say?"
Just now, he heard a small sound coming from Arya's mouth.
"Stark?" Salladhor asked softly, excitement flashing in his eyes and a look of desire on his face.
"Yes, Stark, I am Arya Stark, daughter of Eddard Stark, Warden of the North, and sister of Robb Stark, King of the North."
Arya raised her head, looked at Salladhor, and announced her name and origin loudly.
The stubbornness of the people of the North and the glory of the family did not allow her to fear anyone.
"Aren't you dead? Your engagement with the Frey family has been cancelled. Why are you here?"
Salladhor put his hands on Arya's shoulders, his hands trembling slightly with excitement. He could clearly feel that this was a living person.
The little wolf girl immediately avoided it and looked at the person in front of her with alertness and confusion.
What kind of engagement? When did she have an engagement with the Frey family, and when did she die?
