The Sea Dragon Tower is one of the towers on Dragonstone. It is built facing the sea and looks like a sleeping dragon. Under the crow cage on the tower are the rooms for the bachelors and the place where they handle affairs.

Pylos is a young learned man who was sent by the Old Town Citadel to assist Stannis. However, he failed to poison the red-robed woman with the highly poisonous "Tears of Lys" and was killed by her instead.

After the death of Cressen, the old maester, he became the Grand Maester under Stannis.

He left with Stannis, but Finson, his chosen assistant in Dragonstone's Cape Wrath, stayed.

Finson is mediocre in appearance and of medium height. He was originally just an ordinary educator in Cape Wrath. He did not receive a good education in the city, nor did he win a bachelor's necklace. He was diligent and studious.

After Dragonstone was captured by Drogo, he swore allegiance to the Dragon King.

Kaa, who was in short supply of talents, didn't think much about it and let him continue to live in Hailong Tower, where he was responsible for delivering letters, collecting letters and raising letter crows.

Fensen was very grateful for this position without any actual power, because he was destined to see the Dragon King from time to time.

He is smart, and he understands Drogo's desire for learned men.

He felt that if he continued to work hard and found an opportunity to offer some useful advice to Drogo, he might be able to gain his appreciation and be promoted to a bachelor of a country.

This is a dream, and it is also his ambition. Pylos is still very young, and he knows that he will never get ahead by following the maester in Oldtown, so Drogo, the barbarian king, is his hope.

He had a crazy idea. He wanted to become the barbarian mentor of the Dothraki and the national advisor of a country.

On this day, Fensen stood alone on the balcony outside the bedroom where the wind was roaring. It was here that the messenger crow stopped after its long journey.

Two twelve-foot-tall stone statues stood on both sides, with a hellhound on one side and a pterosaur on the other, with crow excrement scattered on them.

There are over a thousand such gargoyles, squatting on the high walls of the ancient city of Valyria.

When he first arrived at Dragonstone from Cape Wrath, he stood at the Sea Dragon Tower and looked around. He was embarrassed by the ferocious stone statues all over the city.

As time passed, he became accustomed to them, and now he regarded them as old friends. Sometimes he would talk to the stone statues, and sometimes he would pick up books and read to them, staring at the sky together, waiting for the return of the messenger crows from afar.

Today is like every other day, Dragonstone is still shrouded in thick fog.

The fog often prevented Finsen from seeing more than a hundred feet away. Being alone in the crow cage of Sea Dragon Tower made him feel very lonely.

Ever since Dragonstone Island belonged to the Horse King, this loneliness has become more intense. Because the Barbarian King first arrived on Dragonstone Island, he had no foreign lords who had made good friends with him, and there was no communication between the letter crows, which made him feel like he was idle.

waste.

Only busy work can make him feel that life is meaningful, otherwise, what is the ambition?

Finally, he heard the increasingly clear sound of flapping wings of a rook as it got closer and closer, as well as a heart-stopping neighing sound.

The messenger crow just stopped on the balcony, and Fensen couldn't wait to take off the parchment tied to its feet.

He habitually glanced at the sealing wax on the letter, which was engraved with the emblems of the Baratheon family, the crowned stag on a black background of gold, and the roaring lion of the Lannister family, red and gold.

After the death of Robert Baratheon, the power of the Bucks Dynasty basically fell into the hands of the Lannister family, which can be seen from the re-use of the emblem.

With just one glance, Fensen recognized the messenger crow coming from King's Landing across the river.

Regarding this, the thirty-year-old crow farmer had a lot of guesses in his mind.

Could it be that Robert's youngest son Tommen, who had just sat on the Iron Throne, sent a letter to recruit Drogo, the barbarian king?

Or is the Lannister family, the richest in the continent, ready to declare war on the Dragon King?

Or is the proud Iron Throne preparing to show its favor to Drogo, who owns the dragon?

Finson thinks that all these conjectures are possible, except that King's Landing's surrender to Drogo is temporarily impossible. After all, the Lannister family has a strong army and will not surrender without a fight.

But no matter what, the letter from King's Landing must be presented to His Majesty as soon as possible, otherwise Fensen cannot imagine the consequences of dereliction of duty.

Just as he turned around to hand over the letter to His Majesty, a crow's crow made him turn around again.

"Here comes another letter. Which force could it be? Could it be that the Dornish Martell family, which had long been interested in Daenerys of the True Dragon Bloodline, gave up their alliance with King's Landing and then switched to the Dragon King and became a subsidiary?"

Finson's guess is not groundless, but is based on historical research.

As for which force it is, Fensen thinks it will be revealed soon, because the sealing wax on the letter will indicate its origin.

"Quack quack..."

The messenger crow that landed on the balcony screamed at him. Fensen knew that it was hungry, and he was sure that the messenger crow must have come from an extremely far away place.

He took off the letter and looked at the sealing wax, and found that the symbol engraved on it was clearly the dragon's head and horse's body badge that represented Drogo's identity.

"this......"

This made Fensen deeply puzzled, but he had no time to think about it and hurried to the Picture Table Hall with the two letters.

The stairs of the tower are narrow and winding. Go down the steps of the Sea Dragon Tower, then pass through the Portrait Hall, walk between the gargoyles on the middle and inner city walls, pass through the black iron gate of the city wall, and finally go up the stairs to reach the Picture Table Hall.

Fensen, who was panting heavily, received the consent of the heavily guarded Unsullied and entered His Majesty's office with a respectful expression.

There is only one seat in the entire Picture Table Hall. It has been carefully designed to correspond to the location of Dragonstone Island in the sea outside Westeros. It is located on a raised platform, allowing you to have a panoramic view of everything on the table.

The man sitting on the chair was wearing a tight-fitting painted leather vest and black leather pants. He lacked the unique attire of the King of Westeros and exuded a strong barbaric atmosphere.

As soon as Fensen entered the door, he slowly raised his head and asked, "Raven farmer, what are you doing here?"

There was no emotion in his words, as Drogo always did. He had a good memory. He recognized Finson, although he forgot what the little man's name was?

Drogo was born with broad shoulders, strong limbs, and a tight face. His skin had been exposed to the scorching sun and high winds for a long time, and was as hard as iron.

"Steady and ruthless" is the word most often used to describe Drogo, and he certainly lives up to his name.

Fensen, who has always dreamed of guiding the Horse King and admonishing him, whenever he sees the majestic Drogo, his mind goes blank uncontrollably, as if he has been thrown into a cold cellar, becoming submissive and extremely unnatural

.

Fensen lowered his head respectfully and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Hailong Tower has received two letters, one from King's Landing and one from an unknown source."

Drogo's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he murmured: "King's Landing?"

"Send the letter over."

"yes."

Finson trotted and presented the letter to him.

Drogo took it and looked at it, and found that one letter indeed came from an unknown source, although it was engraved with a badge that belonged to him.

However, the letter from King's Landing attracted him more, so he opened the letter from King's Landing first.

Slowly unfolding the parchment, Drogo looked slightly surprised when he saw the name of the writer where he started writing.
