Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

Chapter 39 Late night secret meeting



"Black Falcon was wearing a piece of chain mail, and his chest was covered by a large piece of iron. The iron piece was two millimeters thick, about the same as an ordinary wrought iron breastplate. The steel crossbow bolt penetrated the black metal from the front. The two layers of defense on the falcon's chest pierced his heart. "This required more than two hundred joules of energy," something that could only be accomplished by a military crossbow firing an armor-piercing arrow at close range.

He was also hit by an arrow in the leg. The crossbow bolt penetrated the outside of his right thigh, where he had no defense.

There was a large stain of blood at the door of the room, and from there to Black Falcon's body, there were also traces of dragging, which showed that Black Falcon was attacked the moment he opened the door. "

Ian stood at the door and repeated the action of pushing the door open.

"Judging from the angle of incidence of the crossbow bolts on the corpse, one of the two attackers at the time should have been standing facing the gate, while the other was squatting in the corner over there. Both of them were holding military crossbows, waiting for the Black Falcon. Push the room door open."

Opening the eyelids of the corpse, Ian further checked the condition of the corpse.

The pupils have become slightly cloudy, the corpse spots on the back have begun to fuse, the body is completely rigor mortis, and the victim has been dead for more than 6 hours.

"The time of death was probably between the ghost hour and the wolf hour [Note 1]." After checking the body, Ian looked at Black Falcon's adopted son Dorian,

"The situation at that time should be that in the middle of the night yesterday, Black Falcon came to the room of this suspected Grafson family knight alone and fully armed. When he opened the door, he was immediately deliberately attacked by the other party. He didn't even He was already dead before he could scream out. Then the knight and his page boy dragged Black Falcon's body from the door into the room, closed the door and escaped at night.

What puzzles me is why Black Falcon brought 10 of you to this inn but insisted on meeting each other alone in the middle of the night?

Moreover, since they had made an appointment to meet alone, why didn't they say anything? The situation at the scene was obviously like this. The murderer had no intention of talking to him at all. He came to kill him from the beginning.

Black Falcon was attacked as soon as he opened the door. What kind of hatred is this? Black Falcon fully armed to see the other party shows that he does not trust the other party, so why does he go to the appointment alone? It's bizarre isn't it? "

"How did you know all this? I didn't see anything." Dorian, the 'adopted son', was dumbfounded after hearing what Ian said, and asked blankly.

(The names of these foreigners are difficult to remember, so Ian subconsciously added nicknames to those who had no nicknames. Dorian was called 'Adopted Son', and Sir Grantham was called 'Sir Twenty-Five' and 'Spike'. Denzel is called 'the Dornishman beaten by society')

"You are looking, and I am observing." Ian quoted a famous saying from Sherlock Holmes.

"No, who the hell are you?" Dorian, the adopted son, finally woke up from his stupor and shouted at Ian, then looked at Grantson aside, "Who is this person? Your new A new master? Sir."

"Boss Morgan would never talk to me in this tone when he was alive, kid." Grantson immediately choked back.

That word 'boy' instantly angered the young adopted son. Just when he sought support from his adoptive father's two deputies, 'Knife Face' and 'Lame', those two people also used the word 'boy' to humiliate him. Then walked away.

Just when Dorian was about to draw his sword, Ian stopped him.

"I think you have misunderstood Sir Grantham. Didn't you realize that he was the only mercenary captain who stayed here after your adoptive father died and wanted to avenge him? Which of the other guys didn't do it immediately? Do you want to rush back to your base and compete for the position of the next leader?"

"This" Dorian's hand that had just touched the hilt of the sword suddenly relaxed.

"It was at Sir Grantham's invitation that I came to help." Ian cast a warning look at Grantham, indicating that he was not allowed to speak. "Or do you think that just the few of you can do this?" Do you have the strength to avenge Black Falcon?"

"this…"

"I am the only person in the world who can help you get revenge, if you are willing to share everything you know with me." Ian said while washing his hands in the basin handed over by Jenny.

"Really?" Dorian subconsciously believed it. He looked at Ian and then at Grantson.

"Uh, of course." Grantham probably understood what Ian was thinking, but he still nodded unnaturally.

"So, should you apologize to Sir Grantham? We are all working together for the same purpose and should remain united." Ian said immediately.

"Yes," his adopted son Dorian nodded, not realizing at all that he and Ian had become a 'colleague' before they agreed. He said to Sir Grantham in a very formal tone. , "I'm sorry Sir, I beg your forgiveness for what I just did."

"I shouldn't use the word child to describe you. In fact, you are already a good warrior. One day you will become the new boss of Morgan." Grantson also cooperated, and then added in his heart, you will never Will become the new boss of Morgan, the little boy, bah!

"Then, please unravel my doubts. This is crucial to finding out who was behind the murder of your adoptive father." Ian walked to the door, "Let's find another room and talk while drinking?"

Dorian agreed to Ian's proposal, and soon the group moved to Ian's large room.

"What kind of drinks would you like?" Jenny appropriately played her role at this time.

"The golden wine of the Arbor." Ian directly named the best wine in Westeros.

"Oh, Sir, how can there be such fine wine in this small shop? Our best wine is only Dorne's Summer Red, and the rest are our own brews."

Dorne's horse urine made Ian couldn't help but think of someone's evaluation of Summer Red in the original novel, "Okay, then Summer Red." Ian responded, and then looked at his adopted son Dorian, "So we are going to do it now. Should we wait until the wine comes to start?"

"Can you tell me who you are first? Sir."

"Ser Lucion Lannister."

"A member of the Lannister family? Are you here for the Blackfire Treasure?" Dorian immediately felt a sense of vigilance in his heart.

"Is it possible that my adoptive father was killed by someone else? At that moment, you had such an idea, right?" Ian said in an extremely exaggerated tone.

Dorian stood up abruptly and took a step back.

"Relax, my friend. I never knew your adoptive father before. I'm here to capture a group of fugitives from King's Landing, as they can all prove."

Dorian looked around and saw Sir Grantham and Jenny, who had just brought the wine, nodded.

Note: Ghost hour and wolf hour are both descriptions of time in Westeros. Ghost hour is around midnight and wolf hour is around 3 am.
