Eagle of the Valley of Ice and Fire

Chapter 66 Mia Shidong
The scale of the Gates of the Moon is actually much larger than the Eyrie, the current castle of the Arryn family, but it is very ordinary compared to the castles of other guardian families.The fourth King of the Vale, Roland Arryn I, who originally decided to build the Eyrie in the Giant's Spear, visited the towering tower of the Citadel when he was young, Casterly Rock, which was built on the entire mountain in the West, and other projects still under construction. majestic castle in the riverlands.

Compared with these castles, the Moon Gate Castle of the Arryn family seemed extremely shabby and ordinary, so he came up with the idea of ​​building a majestic castle that fit the characteristics of the Arryn family. He decided to build a castle across the giants. Build a real eagle's perch in the place of the gun.

The Eagle's Nest overlooks all the fortresses in the known world. It may not be as grand as Casterly Rock, not as majestic as the towering towers, and not as large as the many castles built on land in the Riverlands. However, anyone who has gone through the Blood Gate through countless hardships will be able to survive. When you pass the Four Castles and arrive at the Eyrie, you can declare that you have arrived at the top of the world. You can overlook the entire Arryn Valley, see the green fertile fields inlaid with lakes like gems, and see countless trickling streams crossing the valley. Crossing the mountains and ridges leads to Yuanwu.

However, due to the terrain, it is painful to live in the Eagle's Nest City for the winter. Most of the time, the Arryn family will choose to go down the mountain to the Moon Gate Castle at the foot of the mountain to escape the cold. It is for this purpose that the guardians of the Moon Gate Castle in the past generations , is actually the successive heirs of the Arryn family, who have continuously expanded the hot spring garden in the Gate of the Moon to help avoid the cold.

In order to avoid Lysa Tully's influence on his younger brother Robin, Attis arranged for Nestor to take Robin to live in the hot spring gardens of the Gates of the Moon. After finishing the meeting to discuss strategy with the princes of the valley, Attis left. Entered the hot spring garden.

It is said to be a hot spring garden, but it does not mean that hot springs are filled with hot mist and music is everywhere. The hot spring only exists in the center of the garden. A hot spring is surrounded by stone barriers. The heat comes from nowhere, so that It is similar to the hot springs at Winterfell, but in comparison, the hot springs at the Gates of the Moon are much smaller.

As Attis walked through the corridors, the barking of the direwolf Nymeria and the laughter of Arya and Robin could be heard in the distance.

Arya was teasing Robin with a purple flower she had picked from the edge of a cliff, shouting "You didn't! You didn't!"

Robin jumped anxiously behind the wolf girl. It seemed that his epilepsy was recovering well under the care of Maester Colmont. At this time, he looked anxious and in high spirits, but he did not have an attack.

"Robin," Attis called after him.

Apparently the child didn't hear it at all and chased Arya further away.

"Robin!" The attendant looked at Attis with a pale face and bowed to him apologetically, "Duke Attis, Master Robert is too lively and active."

Attis frowned slightly, "You shouldn't let him run around all day, his epilepsy..." Attis sighed slightly, waved his hand, and the entourage secretly sighed, turned and left.

There are many stone benches in the hot spring garden, but there is no hard discomfort when sitting on them. Instead, they are very soft, as if you can sink into them, and it is very comfortable.

Attis sat on it, the open-air hot spring in front of him was splashing with spring water, and the hot mist floated upward.

"You are back." A familiar voice came from behind. Attis turned around, and a heroic short-haired face appeared in front of him, "Sister Mia." Attis smiled.

Mia Shidong still has the familiar tall and thin figure, and her attire does not have any features of a lady. A short sword hangs on her waist, leather boots are as high as her knees, charcoal black messy hair, and dark blue eyes are bright. God, with the tight-fitting cloth robe on his body, if an ordinary person took a first glance, they would probably just think that he was a handsome young guard.

"It's amazing," Mia Shidong looked at Attis Aylin, who was sitting on a bench and dressed in fine clothes. "Before, you were just... a junior member of our Griffin Gang, guarding the warehouse... …”

"'Little Brother Falcon'?" Attis thought back to the time he spent at the Gates of the Moon and the mercenary game he played with Mia and Nestor's children.

Mia stretched her legs excitedly, "Do you remember? It's amazing!"

Pictures in his memory appeared in Attis's mind one after another, including the fierce battle of "guarding the warehouse", the orderly command of the "catapult siege", and the battle of wits and courage with cats in many warehouses of the Gate of the Moon. scene...

"Always remember." Attis raised his head slightly. It was the happiest and most relaxing time during the days when he traveled to and from the Gates of the Moon and Runestone City. Since Mia Shidong was born, she was placed in the house by her father. She came to the Gate of the Moon and was raised by her peasant mother. According to her father, King Robert often came here during his days in the Eyrie, holding Mya and hanging in the sky. Robert at that time was really incomparable. Happy, but Eddard always looked at the delighted Robert with a hint of sadness.

"Robert always lived in the present, and Ed always lived behind something, whether it was Brandon, family responsibility, personal honor, etc.," his father said.

"Little Robin...are you taking care of him?" Attis asked.

Mia nodded, "Yes, Master Nestor handed him over to me because he was too squeamish. I..." Mia blushed slightly and said, "I have a bad temper, so I can treat him well. "

"How is the treatment going?" Attis asked. He was quite curious, because his time in King's Landing was not short. He had no involvement in Robin's own education. His biggest contribution was to imprison his doting mother. , to prevent the two from getting close.

"Be like a human being," Mia's lips curled up slightly, "I will train him as my attendant."

"You wanted to be a knight when you were little, I remember." Attis said.

Mia sighed nonchalantly, "Until she realized she was a girl."

The two of them inadvertently got close to each other. Mia looked up at Attis with a gentle smile on her lips. Her slender figure and curves appeared in front of Attis under the tightly wrapped cloth robe.

"Attis!" Arya's voice came from behind. Attis closed his eyes and turned to look over.Robin was acting like a monkey just now, but now he became timid when he saw Attis, and muttered, "Brother."

Attis walked up to Robin, reached out and touched Robin's black hair, and said softly: "How are you, Robin?"

Robin glared hard at Attis behind him. Attis turned around and realized that it was Arya making a grimace behind him.

"It's very good!" Arya seemed to arouse Robin's interest. He was no longer timid when speaking, and instantly returned to his original appearance, "The hot springs in the garden are layer by layer. I can jump from the upper layer to the next. Layer!" Robin raised his hands and made a jumping motion, "Little Wolf Girl can't!"

"I can, I'll show you soon!" Arya said provocatively to Robin.

Artis's face darkened when he heard this. It would be bad if Ed heard this, so he could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

"The girls' bathing place is not here. Do you want to take a bath in the hot spring?" Mia patted Arya on the head and asked.

Arya looked at Mia's outfit in surprise, "You are a warrior? Female warrior!"

The little wolf girl turned around and said excitedly to Attis: "Father didn't lie to me, and Aunt Lyanna didn't lie to him either. I can become a knight in the valley!"

"You can't be a knight!" Robin retorted immediately.

Arya didn't care what Robin said, she just grabbed Mia's arm with both hands, "Hot spring? I have soaked in the hot spring of Winterfell. I don't know how it is here."

Mia smiled slightly and said, "Follow me." She winked at Attis, and then left with Arya.

Robin held the purple flowers Arya had picked in his hands and watched them leave.

"Hey, you won?" Attis asked when he saw the flower.

"Little Wolf Girl is lying, she picked this in the garden!" Robin said dissatisfied.

Attis shook his head, "Maester Colmont is here to teach you how to recognize the family crest. Come with me and see how many you can recognize." He ignored Robin who looked manic after hearing this and grabbed him directly. Passed his arm and left the Flowing Water Garden.

……

Attis soaked his body in the hot spring, enjoying the feeling of the hot air moistening his whole body. The muscle pain from the long journey was greatly relieved. He closed his eyes slightly and took a long breath.The water rippled slightly, and Attis sat on the stone steps covered by the hot spring. The surface of the stone steps that had been soaked in water for a long time had become soft and easy to float, and stone chips even floated on the water of the hot spring.

After waiting for a while, Attis walked out of the hot spring, put on the robe An Gai had put in advance, wrapped it up and walked out of the hot spring room.

The flowing moonlight is very intoxicating. Most of the nobles live in the military camp outside the Gate of the Moon. Although the Gate of the Moon is large, it is quite crowded with too many knights and attendants, and no one wants to disturb it. Attis resting at the Gates of the Moon.

In the corridor of the hot spring garden, Attis did not rush back to the bedroom, but watched the mist rising in the distance until the mist covered the crescent moon outside the window, and an owl stood on the treetops.

This is similar to the emblem of the Arryn family, Attis thought.

"Attis?" Mia's voice, she looked at Attis in front of her slightly shyly.

Attis looked at Mia. Her short hair was wet and she was wrapped in a white cloth. Her right leg was exposed outside the white cloth.

Mia and Attis walked into the bedroom together and had no sleep all night.
