<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > old clothes dealer terminal</h1>
Under the pseudonym Cat Er, the second lady began the first social practice of the faceless apprenticeship. She became a helper for the fishmonger Brusco, pushing a cart every day to sell scallop clams. Erya's favorite place to go is the old clothes vendor's dock, which is a magical place.
Braavos has many ports, of which Purple Harbor only accepts local ships, while boats from the old clothing docks come from all over the world. It's noisy and simple, with prostitutes, sailors, dramatists, thieves, wine merchants, fishmongers, and people of all kinds. As an apprentice of the Faceless, the second lady has the task of gathering information, she observes, listens, learns, judges, and learns a lot of useful or interesting things.
Thief's Skill: Red Rogo is a thief who teaches the second lady how to use the Sleeve Sword, or "Finger Dagger": quickly draw, quickly put away, and cut open the money bag. Later, the second lady used this trick during the first assassination mission.
Sailor's Wife: She is a prostitute at the brothel "Happy Docks", and her daughter is fourteen years old, named Lanna, who is also a prostitute here. The Sailor's Wife has a quirk of sleeping only with people she marries. Dallion, a singer from the Great Wall, had a wedding with her when he was in a brothel. The sailor's wife is kind-hearted, and every time the second lady passes by, she will ask her "husband" to buy some oysters.
This somewhat peculiar prostitute would regularly visit the Islands of the Gods to pray for her true husband. Her real husband is said to have disappeared at sea, and everyone thought he was dead.
It is possible that the first husband of the Sailor's Wife was Tyrion, that is, she may have been Tyrion's first wife, Tessa. Sleeping only with a benefactor who married her had a clear directionality, indicating that the form of "marriage" had an unusual meaning in her mind. On the other hand, her husband may also be Tyrion's little uncle Gillian Lannister. It was at sea that Gillian disappeared.
Anyway, the chances of the Sailor's wife's husband being a Lannister are high. Her daughter had blond hair, which was a lannister trait; the name "Lanna" also had a Lannister connotation; the sailor's wife said that she was fourteen when she gave birth to Lanna, and Tessa was thirteen when she married Tyrion.
Courtesan Black Pearl: "Black Pearl" is the name of Braavos's famous courtesan. The concept of social flowers is probably more similar to the Japanese geisha or our ancient "flower queens", who were trained in culture and art, often proficient in music, literature, dance, etc. For the benefactor, the greater value brought by the companionship of the social flower is the manifestation of one's own status, rather than the satisfaction of carnal desires.
The first black pearl, Bellege Osiris, was the mistress of "King Yong" Egon IV, and the two met before Egon IV ascended the throne, and remained lovers for nearly a decade. The Black Pearl bore several children to Egon IV, of whom her daughter, Bellonara, became the second generation of Black Pearl. Later, the daughter's daughter inherited the name of her mother and passed it on from generation to generation. --So the black pearl has the blood of a true dragon.
Today's black pearl is the fourth generation, also known as Belle Jie. She once bought scallops from erya and paid erzhu silver coins ten times the price.
The first generation of black pearls
Assassins of Braavos: This concept is a bit different from what we envisioned, and the Assassins are not all highly skilled. The Assassins of Braavos gave the impression of being flashy and superficial, and they were always anxious to prove themselves. These people dressed lavishly at night and wear thin swords to flaunt the market, and there is no need for any reason to start fighting. They may challenge anyone with a sword or a duel. Braavos' men of status tended to wear low-key black clothes, while the Assassins dressed pompously. Sam in Black is provoked by two Assassins while searching for Dallion, who helps him get out of trouble.
Other information: The Sea King of Braavos has been recruiting oarsmen; Sarado Thorne (a friend of the Onion Knights who served Stannis) has re-emerged as a pirate in the Stone Steps Archipelago; the Leper Monkey is from the town of Seagull, and the crew says that the valley is not involved in the war, but Lady Lysa is murdered by the singer; sailors from the East bring the story of the birth of three dragons; singers Darian and Fat Sam are night watchmen, but the singer spends all day in the brothel and decides to betray the night watchman, and one day the fat man beats him.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > Night's Watch deserter Dallion</h1>
Dallion is from Riverbend, and he joined the Night's Watch with Yu Xue. The singer was handsome and sent to the Great Wall because he had slept with the daughter of Count Rowan, who claimed to have been raped when she was discovered.
Dallion was originally a singer and often sang for everyone during his training. At the end of his training, he was appointed as the chief of affairs of Tokaiwang.
Yu Xue became the commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch, and at this time, the Raven Yuren, who was responsible for recruiting people for the Night's Watch, had been missing for a long time (dead), so Yu Xue appointed Daelian as a Lang Crow, hoping that he could use his song to recruit new soldiers for the Great Wall, and sent him to the old town with Sam and Eamon.
During the journey, Darian gradually becomes cold and selfish, and becomes more and more estranged from Sam and others. When they came to Braavos to transfer ships, Eamon's illness worsened, and most of their money was spent on accommodation and medical treatment. Sam had to ask Dallion to sing and earn money to pay for food, lodging, and boat fare, but Daelian wandered into the tavern brothel and squandered the money he had earned.
Sam, with the help of the two Assassins, finds Dallion, who is marrying the sailor's wife, at the brothel "Happy Pier". Sam accuses Darian of breaking his oath, and Darian takes off the Night's Watch's cloak and throws it in Sam's face, declaring that he is no longer the Night's Watch. Sam beats him up and throws himself into the canal, and the First Mate of the Laurel Wind rescues Sam and tells him about the dragon. The story of the dragon makes Eamon's condition better, and they take the Laurel Wind to the old town, but the bachelor dies on the way.
Dayllion stayed in Braavos. The second lady was very angry to see that he was still wandering in the brothel, so she lured him into an uninhabited alley on a dark and windy night of the month and killed him, and took his boots.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > interesting poison</h1>
The stray child in the Courtyard of Black and White, due to her long-term exposure to poison, made her look like a pale and thin little girl, but in fact she was thirty-six years old. She came from an ancient aristocratic family and was the sole heir to her father, whose mother died when she was very young. Later, when her stepmother gave birth to her own child, she began to covet her inheritance rights. The stepmother poisoned the stray child without success. Her father learned of her stepmother's actions and begged the god of a thousand faces to give his wife at the cost of giving up two-thirds of his possessions and wandering children. Since then, the wandering children have served in the House of Black and White. She introduced several poisons to the second lady.
Sweet Sleeping Flower: A small amount of this drug can inhibit epilepsy, a small number can ensure a dreamless sleep, but increasing the dose will cause the drug to be addictive and fatal, and three handfuls of sweet sleeping flowers can make people die in deep sleep.
In the novel, Robin, the little duke of Eagle's Nest City, is a person with epilepsy, and the Bachelor begins to give him sweet sleeping flowers at the behest of Littlefinger. Robin already has symptoms of drug addiction, and Sansa mentions that he wants to drink "sweet milk". There were also sweet sleeping flowers in King's Landing Scholar's room, which Tyrion had seen. When Jaime and Varys rescue Tyrion from the black jail, they also seem to have added sweet sleeping flowers to the guard's wine.
Reese's Tears: It tastes as sweet as water, dissolves easily in wine, is colorless, tasteless and leaves no trace, this poison is extremely rare and expensive. The symptoms of poisoners are very similar to those of gastrointestinal disease, and former Prime Minister Jon Erin died of the poison. Before Lesha died, it was Littlefinger who instructed her to be poisoned. Tyrion had also seen it in Paisier's room.
Snake Lizard Blood: (Note: Some places in the book are translated as "snake lizards", and some places are translated as "stone lizards") Snake lizards are ferocious reptiles that live in the jungle, and snake lizard blood is poisonous. Mixing snake and lizard blood with spices and applying it to cooked meat will give off a seductive aroma, but warm-blooded animals will be irritable and crazy after eating it.
When the second lady was in Herrenberg, the faceless Jacquen promised to kill three people for her, and she reported to Jakun the name of the weeping tower steward Wess. Soon After, Wess was found dead inside the castle, while his spotted was tearing at his flesh. Therefore, it is likely that the snake lizard blood was Jaquin's means of getting the dog to kill Wes.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > wolf and cat</h1>
The Starks' children are all wolf spirits, everyone knows. Even in the distant Braavos, her wolf dreams have always been there, and in the dream she is the tall and strong river wolf king Namelia who leads the wolves.
The cat is another animal that the two women are close to. Back in King's Landing, one of Sillio's training sessions was for her to catch cats. This activity made the second lady move quickly and quickly, and even led her into the secret passage of the Red Fort.
Braavos is a city with many stray cats, and the name that the second lady chose for herself in the social practice of the Faceless is also "cat". Traveling between fishing boats and docks, carts sell scallops and clams, the two girls are infected with a fishy smell, and stray cats chase them. The second lady would sometimes feed them the things in her car, and when she came home every night, she was often followed by dozens of cats.
The second lady kills the night's watchman deserter Dallion and brings his boots to the fishmonger Brusco.
"Good boots are hard to find," Brusco said, "but these pairs are too small for me." He lifted a squinting eye and looked at it.
Back in the Courtyard of Black and White, the second lady reported three things she had learned to the kind people according to the custom. The last thing she told him this time was that Dallion was dead.
"Dayne is dead, the black singer who slept on the Docks of Happiness. He was indeed a deserter of the Night's Watch. They cut his throat, pushed him into the canal, and took his boots. ”
"Good boots are hard to find."
She said it was Arya of the Starks who killed Dallion and that she was the "Unknown One". The kind man asks the street child to bring Arya a glass of milk. The second lady drank the cup of milk with a bitter taste, and when she woke up the next day, she found herself blind.
At first I thought it was punishment for the second lady to kill Dallion without permission, but no, it was the next stage of the trial. Blindness allows the second lady to better mobilize and utilize other senses.
In the night before she went blind, the second lady dreamed again, this time not a wolf dream.
That night, she dreamed again, but unlike the others, there were no wolves in this dream. She roamed alone, jumping on the roof, walking quietly by the canal, chasing the shadows in the mist.
In this dream, the second lady becomes a cat.
