The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Chapter 42: Arya Learning the Sword

Injury makes me stronger-Arya

**

Junlin City, downstairs of the main castle, schoolyard.

"What's in the cage?" Arya asked.

"It's a cat." said the elegant swordsmanship teacher from Braavos.

"Oh!" Arya happily lifted the cloth on the cage, "I like cats."

"Liar," she said, "It's obviously a rabbit."

There are three hares in the cage.

The swordsmanship teacher smiled triumphantly: "Aaliyah, at any time, don't listen to what others say, it depends on how he does it. If there is a cage, then lift the cloth of the cage and see the truth with your own eyes. One of the secrets of swordsmanship. : Cover your ears and observe the truth with your eyes."

"Your deception is too low-level." Arya curled her lips.

"Not low-level, many scams in life are just separated by a layer of cloth, but no one reaches out to open it, and the swordsmanship is the same." The swordsmanship teacher laughed.

The swordsman has a mustache, is lean and wears Braavos' famous rapier. The sword looked like a child's toy in the eyes of the guards of the north.

"What are you going to do to catch three hares? Don't you teach me to practice swords today?"

"Sword practice? No, no, you don't have the qualifications to practice sword." The teacher opened the cage and threw the three hares on the ground. The three hares whizzed and fled from three directions. Namelia sat at Arya's feet and didn't move, not interested in the three scared rabbits.

The ice wolf looked at the three rabbits fleeing desperately with arrogant eyes.

It is said that the rabbits that were hit by the arrow are fast, and now these three rabbits are scared by the ice wolf almost as if they were hit by the arrow.

"Aaliyah, go grab them. Before the hourglass is over, grab them. I'll teach you a sword style."

Arya immediately chased it out and caught three hares. Isn't it a simple matter?

Several family guards in the schoolyard looked straight and shook their heads.

Only Arya, a wild child, would listen to the fool of this Braavos liar, and learn the sword as he learns the sword. How can anyone ask someone to chase and catch a hare in the courtyard?

On the third floor of the guesthouse on the south side of the schoolyard, Cersei looked at Arya who was chasing three hares in the schoolyard and yelled, frowning slightly: "Sansa, what is your sister doing?"

She held Sansa's embroidered silk shawl in her hand, and she was full of praise for Sansa's embroidered knitting.

"Your Majesty, Arya is learning swordsmanship from the wandering swordsmanship teacher from Whiteport." Sansa was cautious.

"Baigang Swordsmanship Teacher?"

"Yes, I heard that he is from Braavos on the other side of the narrow sea, or the former chief swordsman of Sea King of Braavos. He said that he traveled all over the cities in the narrow sea and taught swordsmanship and dance to earn money during the journey. Necessary living expenses. A month ago he crossed the narrow sea to the mainland of Westeros, and soon came to Baigang."

"It is said that he was going to see King's Landing City next step, but before he left, he was left behind by the vassal Count Wiman Mandalay who was stationed in White Harbor, and then sent someone to our Winterfell City. He is in White Port. There are many swordsmen friends in Hong Kong, most of whom are from Braavos. He is very famous among them, as Sir Wiman said in his letter."

Baigang is a huge port city, located in the south of Winterfell. It is the fief of the Mandalay family under Stark. Baigang is the fifth largest city among the seven kingdoms in Westeros. It is the most important trading port in the north and is located at the mouth of the Bairen River, the largest inland river in the north.

Due to the geographical location of Baigang, its contact with the south and the other side of the narrow sea is very extensive, so there are many mercenaries, wandering knights, chant poets, singers and swordsmen who like to accumulate in this prosperous city, and there are also many here. Home of silversmiths and goldsmiths.

Cersei looked at the skinny Braavos swordsman in the schoolyard and smiled: "Bravos does have many powerful swordsmen, but this person, I believe he is a guy who cheats on food and drink."

"Your Majesty, do you feel the same way?" Sansa said in surprise and joy. "The first day he came, I didn't think he looked like a swordsman. I bet Jory Kelso could take him with any shot. Down. He is too thin, and the sword is like... um... embroidery needles. Dad's guards all look down on him, but they dare not show it to Dad."

"Oh, have you seen his swordsmanship performance?"

"No, Your Majesty the Queen."

"Has he taught Arya Swordsmanship?"

"No, Your Majesty, he asks Arya to stand on a tall wooden stake with one foot every day, and one stop is an hour, and he asks Arya to walk with both hands, with no appearance of a lady on top of her head or feet. Going up and down the stairs, today is even more weird. I asked someone to catch the hare, and asked Arya to catch the hare in the schoolyard."

"He is so nonsense, can your parents accept it?"

"Mom doesn't feel bad, but Dad didn't speak, and no one dared to drive him away."

"Aaliyah is such a rough boy. It's incomparable to you, Sansa. You are virtuous, beautiful and capable. I like you so much, Sansa. You and your father will go with us in a few days. King’s Landing, I want to treat you well. Can you tell me what Ed Stark likes best to eat? For example, does he like Don’s summer red, or Mirin’s sweet wine, Qingting Island’s Golden wine is well-known in the Seven Nations, and it is exported to the other side of the narrow sea."

"My dad prefers to drink spirits, and he also likes sweet wines in the Bay Area."

"Oh, then I have to remember, um, you are so good, come, sit next to me, and show me your braid, so beautiful red hair, did you design the braid? It's so beautiful La. Sansa, what other habits does your father have, for example, what antiques does he like? What jewels do he like?"

Sansa was excited and nervous, and the queen was holding her little hand! Your Majesty the Queen is so beautiful and kind, she is determined to be a queen as good as her Majesty.

On the first day of King Robert’s arrival, King Robert asked her to marry Prince Joffrey! Sansa feels happy!

Sansa will answer Cersei's questions and can't say enough.

"Sansa, in King's Landing, besides King Robert, who does your father usually have a relationship with?"

***

In the schoolyard, Arya caught three hares, but her body was already dirty.

She happily ran to the teacher who was humming and humming with her feet in the sun.

"Aaliyah, you lost. The sand in the hourglass has already leaked out."

"What, I didn't lose, I caught them."

The swordsmanship teacher stood up with a proud look and knocked Arya's wrist with the wooden sword in his hand. Arya yelled, "Ouch," the hare fell to the ground and flew away again.

"What are you doing? You almost interrupted my wrist." Arya shouted, glaring at her teacher angrily.

Teacher Mustache didn’t care, and smiled: "Aaliyah, let me tell you the secret of the sword master. You must keep in mind that real sword masters will think that every injury will make him more Strong. Therefore, a swordsman is not afraid of injury. Also, you have caught the hare for too long, and the sand of the hourglass has leaked out, so..."

"I will never listen to you any longer, Teacher Silio, I will learn sword today." Arya shouted angrily.

Everyone in the competition heard Arya's voice, and a lot of heads peeked out from the window of the Bachelor Tower in the main fort.

"Oh oh oh, oh oh oh!" the swordsman teacher laughed, "our Arya's blood of the wolf is angry, oh, well, go on."

The swordsmanship teacher threw a training wooden sword in his hand to Arya, Arya reached out and grabbed it, and the sword sank down in her hand.

Wooden sword filled with lead!

"Lung step stab." The swordsmanship teacher finally began to teach Arya the real swordsmanship that Arya Chausi thought.

Arya followed the manner of a teacher and lunged and lunged, and looked like a veteran with swordsmanship. However, the sword in his hand was so heavy that the tip of the sword drooped.

"No, no, no, straighten the sword and close the jaw." The teaching wooden sword of the swordsmanship teacher knocked on Arya's chin and wrist, causing tears in Arya's eyes.

"Every injury makes me stronger." Arya told herself in her heart. The teacher repeats this sentence many times a day, Arya actually remembers it firmly.

"No, no, no, there must be enemies in your eyes. Imagine who you hate the most. Yes, swordsmen must have a good look when they use their swords. Imagine that the guy you hate the most is standing in front of your sword. ."

Snapped!

The teacher's wooden sword hit Arya's abdomen, and Arya's face twisted with pain.

It hurts to hit someone with a lead-filled wooden sword!

——However, every pain makes me stronger. Arya repeats this spell in her heart, and the miraculous pain is lessened!

"Place your left hand behind your back tightly, lunge straight."

Pop!

The left hand and the calf each received a beating, which was painful.

According to experience, at night, bruises appear in these beaten places.

This is not the first time Arya has been beaten. She does anything, including walking upside down and standing on a wooden stake with one leg. If it is wrong, she will be beaten by the teacher's wooden sword.

However, injury can make me stronger!

Arya said nothing.

"Okay, that's it. Keep the stab action for two hours without moving. Haha, this is your own proposal to learn swordsmanship. If the action is deformed, you must do it again. My little Arya, if you are willing to go back If you catch a hare, hahahaha! I can..."

"No, I know you also prepared three wild cats. I don't learn to catch hares, let alone catch wild cats. I want to learn swords."

"Oh oh oh, well, since you feel that you are good enough to learn swords, then don't move. This is your first sword style. Who, Addo, please come over with a high stool. Arya , Go and stand on a high stool. Whenever you can stand for two hours without deformation, I will teach you the formal swordsmanship: Water Dance."

Arya jumped on the high stool, lunged, clenched her teeth and straightened her arms, the lead-filled wooden sword was really heavy.

"Hey, where are you going?" Arya exclaimed dissatisfied.

"I, of course, went to get my little wine and dessert. Why, what do you have to say?" The swordsmanship teacher raised up the wooden sword in his hand with a smile, looking like he wanted to see Arya's movements deformed. Knock it down.

He knocked on any part of Arya's body casually, and that part would become bruised at night.

"No!" Arya immediately concentrated on maintaining the stab action. The face of the most hated person appeared before her eyes was the abominable face of the swordsmanship teacher Silio.

Silio hummed a little song and walked away, and suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "Aaliyah, you can choose to continue catching hares, and then catching wild cats. When you can catch the wild cats within the stipulated time, you can walk through the main castle upside down. If you have all the stairs, I will teach you the dance of water. If you regret it now, you can’t hold on, shout out..."

Arya stood on a high stool, maintaining an absolute standard thrust movement and grunted angrily: "No!"
