Chapter 114 The Woodcarver and the Pirate Queen

The red god R'hllor has a large number of believers in the continent of Essos. The believers of the Lord of Light believe that there are only two gods in the world. One is the red god R'hllor, the king of light, and the other is the cold god. His

The name cannot be explained by mortals.

Many red-robed monks believe that it is the Cold God who caused the Long Night and the appearance of the White Walkers, who are as powerful as the Night King but are just servants of the Cold God.

The name of the Cold God is taboo in many parts of the world. Guzan carved a wooden sculpture of the Cold God for the necromancer for money, and Ed couldn't help but worry about Guzan.

"What happened to the statue of the God of Cold?"

Guzan spread his hands and looked regretful.

"Lord Ed, this is a complete folly. The Necromancer took the statue of the Cold God and secretly preached in Qohor, and was discovered by the red-robed monks in Qohor. They caught the Necromancer and in the Red God

In the temple of R'hllor, the statue of Cold God was burned, and the red-robed monks declared that the necromancer was a believer in the ancient evil god Cold, who is the mortal enemy of R'hllor, the King of Light."

"This incident alarmed the Governor of Kohor and the priests of the Black Goat Temple. The necromancer was first captured at the Black Goat Altar. In front of the Black Goat, he cut open his head with a knife and sacrificed his blood to the Black Goat. Then he was captured by the red robe

The monk took him to the temple of the Lord of Light and burned him to death as a sacrifice to the Red God."

"I was almost burned to death by a red-robed monk. I finally had to spend money to ward off the disaster. I spent all my money to bribe the Governor of Qohor, and only then did I survive. I couldn't gain a foothold in Qohor, so I had to go

I came to Braavos, and it was in Braavos that I met my friend Ortega."

Qohor is a city of mages. Guzan actually dared to carve a wooden sculpture of the cold god. It is no wonder that he was forced to leave Qohor.

Guzan seemed to suddenly become nervous, "Lord Ed, don't worry, I will never make a wood carving of the Cold God again."

"Don't be nervous, I don't mind your past." In fact, Ed felt more fortunate. If Guzan hadn't made a mistake in Qohor, it would have been impossible for such a powerful wood carver to come to Lindong.

City service. Ed took a sip of wine and said, "Have you been in Braavos all these years?"

Seeing that Ed doesn't mind,

Guzan seemed to be much more relaxed, and he said calmly: "In Braavos, I made some wood carvings of cats for the King of the Sea, and made many wood carvings of gods for the House of Black and White. The Iron Treasury also has some of my wood carvings, and

Some wood carvings of courtesans. I also often go to Lys, Tyrosh and Myr to take orders for some wood carvings. Every well-known brothel in Lys has my wood carvings to entertain the patrons."

Ed couldn't help but wonder, if Guzan used the wood from Wolf Forest to make lifelike wooden carvings of the Seven Gods, how much money would it cost to buy the Great Cathedral of Baelor in King's Landing and the Great Cathedral of Stars in Old Town. The church has always been extremely wealthy.

Ed believed they would spend a fortune on the wooden carvings of the Seven Gods.

Glass Master Ortega said: "Sir Ed, Guzan often travels between Reese and Braavos by boat. When he passed through the Stepstone Islands the year before last, he was kidnapped by a pirate queen and almost became a slave."

Guzan sighed, "I was imprisoned on the Stepped Stone Islands for half a year. That pirate queen was old enough to be my daughter. However, I don't know why, but I actually fell in love with her. I asked her to keep me.

, but she thought I couldn’t build a ship, so she sold me to a slave trader in Reese.”

"Fortunately, I have many friends in Rees. They spent money to help me redeem my life and regain my freedom. Later, I tried to go to the Stepstone Islands to look for the pirate queen, but I couldn't find it. I heard that she brought iron

Civilian pirates went to Skagos Island.”

"Skaggs Island?" Ed was shocked. He had already guessed it roughly. "The pirate queen you are talking about is the iron bitch, Helen Pike, right?"

Guzan nodded fiercely, "That's her, Lord Ed. Do you also know Helen Pike?"

"Helen Pike was once my enemy, but now! She is my subordinate." Ed sat at the dining table, clapped his hands, and guard Dawson immediately appeared.

Guzan murmured: "Helen Pike is actually in Winterfell? How is this possible?"

Guard Dawson is like Eddard's Kingsguard. He is almost inseparable from Eddard. Even if he is not by Eddard's side, he is always not far away.

"Dawson, fetch Miss Helen Pike."

After a while, Helen Pike, wearing a sea-green hunting coat, came to the hall and appeared in front of Guzan. Helen Pike flicked her thick red hair and said playfully: "Lord Ed, what do you want from me?"

Ed pointed to Guzan beside him, "You have an old acquaintance who wants to see you."

Guzan was so excited when he saw Helen Pike, "Sea Pirate Queen, do you still remember me?"

Helen Pike looked at Guzan herself, "You look familiar. Could it be that I have robbed you before?"

Seeing that Helen did not recognize him, Guzan was a little sad, "I am Guzan, the woodcarver of Qohor. The year before last on the Stepstone Islands, you led the Ironborn pirates and robbed a Braavos ship. I

I became your prisoner."

Helen Pike's eyes lit up, "You are the woodcarver. I remember you made the statue of the Drowned God to please me, and you asked to serve me."

Guzan showed a flattering smile, "Yeah, it's a pity that I can't build a ship, so you sold me to the slave ship of Reese. I'm so sad! You can't get married, can you?"

Helen Pike showed an evil smile, and she stroked Guzan's bald head, "You still miss me? I have always wanted to be Lord Ed's salt concubine, but it's a pity that Lord Ed doesn't look down on me. Guzan, you still have it.

Chances are, I just don’t know if you will live in Winterfell permanently?”

Ed smiled and said: "Helen, Guzan will make wood carvings for Winterfell in the future. You can continue your relationship in the future."

Helen Pike sat next to Guzan, "Lord Ed, wood carvings can be sold for a lot of money in King's Landing, Old Town, Seagull Town, and the Free Trade City. I just don't know what you plan to let Guzan carve."

"Let's carve the Seven Gods first."

The Seven Gods are a new god belief. Whether it is Lannisport, White Harbor, Seagull Town, Old Town, or King's Landing, there are many monasteries and churches. As long as it is a wooden carving of the Seven Gods with exquisite craftsmanship, the church is always willing to spend money to buy it.

Ed called the housekeeper, Weyan Poole, to arrange a place for the wood carver Guzan. Guzan and the glass master Ortega left together. Only Ed and Helen were left at the dining table in the hall.

Helen played with the keel dagger, "Lord Ed, our shipbuilder is constantly building new ships, including long ships and oar warships. If Lord Ed is willing to send me to plunder, I can bring one

The fleet swept across the Stepped Stone Islands and merged the Stepped Stone Islands into the northern border."
