Chapter 156 The Prophecy in the Flame
Pentos North City Mercenary Camp

"The wives of the Dornishmen are fair as the sun,
Her kisses are warmer than Yangchun;

The swords of the Dornishmen are of black iron,

"

"Come here, Bronn, I have something to ask you." 'Black Falcon' Dorian walked up to Bronn, who was toasting and singing with his mercenaries, and whispered in his ear, "It's time to give instructions again."

Bronn put down his glass and followed Dorian to a corner.

"Another instruction? I haven't finished my job last time," Bronn said with a broken mouth. "The competition will start tomorrow, and that fellow Suda's asking price is a thousand gold dragons. If your Lucian Jazz wants me to serve him instead, and according to the agreement, he has to give me three thousand."

"It doesn't matter if it's one thousand or three thousand, the premise is that you have to win it, buddy." Dorian sneered, "Tomorrow's contest is on the wrong team, which is equivalent to losing your life, and you think Sir Lucian will be on the wrong team?" side?"

"Damn it," Bronn froze for a moment, then waved his hand, "Forget about that, what are the new instructions?"

"Sir Lucian told you to return to the mercenary team immediately after the game tomorrow, and no matter what instructions we received from above, we will drive directly to the port after entering the XC area, and then wait for his next step. instruct.

By the way, he also asked me to remind you that as long as this matter is done well, he will give each of us a castle and let us be counts. "

"Well, I'll do it, it's really irresistible." Even with Bronn's greed, he couldn't say anything else, "Sir Lucian's generosity always surpasses mine every time." expected."

After speaking, the two returned to the mercenaries.

Their singing continues:
"Brother, brother, my doom has come,

The Dornishmen took my life,

It doesn't matter, mortals are mortal,
I tasted the Dornishman's wife! "

Pantossi/City Hilltop Red Temple
"Welcome, Lord Earl." After hearing the news of Ian's visit, Celia came to the door to greet her in person.

"You are really radiant, beautiful lady. I am lucky to have your favor." Ian took Celia's hand and let her take his arm.

"Why didn't I find you so courteous before?" Celia and Ian walked forward side by side.

"The status is low, so I dare not be abrupt," Ian said and paused, "That's why I'm very curious, what exactly did you see in the flames that you favored me."

"Didn't my brother already tell you that I fell in love with you at first sight, there is no other reason," Celia said with a smile, "However," she didn't surprise Ian's curiosity, "Since you want to know that I am in the flames If you see anything in it, then come with me and I will show you."

After finishing speaking, Celia walked into the temple with Ian on her arm, walked through two corridors and a garden, and entered a room.

"Your boudoir?" Ian looked at the decorations in the room, but he couldn't tell that this was a woman's room. Of course, as far as the red-robed woman is concerned, it would be strange if she could tell.

Celia didn't answer, but just slipped the hand holding Ian's arm, took his palm, and then pulled him to the stone table in the center of the room, and lit the brazier on the table with a torch.

"Just light a fire with a torch?"

"Otherwise what's the use?"

"I thought you Vulcan priests could use spells or something."

"I've also heard that kind of legend. Before the extinction of the dragon, there were indeed high priests who knew fire magic. Of course, even if they could do it, no one would use magic to light a fire." Celia said, pointing to the already raging fire. Burning flames, "What did you see?"

"What did you see again?" Ian didn't answer, but asked back.

"Look carefully." Celia and Ian pressed closer together, sniffing the scent that was close at hand, and Ian bent slightly.

"The Red God is prophesying to us," continued Celia, "in the flames,
I saw the long night come, and saw the endless corpses sweeping the world, and their king with the ice crown;

I saw a thousand fire dragons and a thousand ice dragons fighting fiercely above the sky, and the sky wept blood;

I saw the demons of the night lion attacking the fifth base of Yidi, and the human coalition fought in the wilderness, with a magnificent momentum;

I saw you," Celia turned around and looked into Ian's eyes, "I saw you holding the Lightbringer, repelling the darkness in the ice and snow, and ending the long night.

I also saw that our child," Celia said while pushing Ian onto the table, "he will become the master of this world and rule the entire human world. "

"Then do you know what I saw?" Ian's eyes, which had been blurred by the fragrance, suddenly returned to a sober state, and he pushed Celia down on the table with his backhand.

"Didn't you see what I said? Those... hallucinations?" Celia was surprised, her beautiful eyes were full of disbelief.

"No, what I saw was something else," Ian smiled, "I saw a little blackie who was full of lies." When he said this, Ian could clearly feel the whole body of the woman under him trembling.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Celia looked at Ian blankly.

"What I saw in the flames, didn't you ask me?" Ian lowered his head and kissed Celia's forehead.

"I just don't quite understand your words." Celia responded with a smile.

"It's okay, you just listen to me telling you a bedtime story." Ian was noncommittal,
"The first little black boy is called Gini Taime. After he started the game in Pentos, he first issued a wanted warrant in the Joma Inn, and successfully gathered the other two little black boys through this wanted warrant. up.
There should have been three of them originally, but the appearance of the bounty mission one made one of them retreat and did not join the other little blacks. This also planted a fatal hidden danger for them.

Then these little blacks grew up in the port, boarded the ship of the Howcott family, and successfully expanded their power by participating in the slave trade crackdown in Pentos.

And in the process, they also carried private goods, killed many players who went to Illyrio's mansion rashly, and gained a lot of resources.

At the same time, they concentrated all the points they had gained on one of the little blacks, and asked her to quickly use the skills of the Red God Magic.

With this ability, she quickly won the appreciation of Dalif, the daughter of the Governor of Howcott, in this era when magic had almost disappeared, and obtained the "Supreme Priest" from the Red Temple to study in Volantis for many years. And return the daughter's identity.

In order to avoid the suspicion of other players, she lied that she had returned to Pentos a year ago, but she had been retreating in the inner courtyard... In this way, even if some players started to screen and only suddenly found themselves in Pentos in the last three months Those who take the lead will also ignore her existence.

After all, there are too many people who meet the requirements. If there is no suspicion, who would go to investigate a priestess with such a legitimate identity? "

This is the same as Ian River and Lucian Lannister. These two identities are completely irrelevant, and no one can associate them together.

But if someone really doubted this point, it would not stand up to scrutiny at all.

Celia wanted to get up, but was pushed back onto the table roughly by Ian.

"You shouldn't," Celia gasped in a low voice, "you shouldn't be so rude, I'm Prince Hazan's sister! Ms. Marian's daughter."

"Shh," Ian put a finger gently on Celia's lips, "I'll mention this later, but before that, just listen to me finish the story of Little Heizi, okay? ?”

Celia stopped talking, but Ian could feel that she was shaking uncontrollably.

"Then disaster struck unexpectedly, although Gini Taime only intended to play this meme once. It was just a small spelling of Valyrian pronunciation, and he didn't think it would be used by anyone other than the promised allies. People saw it, and he changed his name as soon as he joined his allies.

But what he didn't know was that the promised ally who didn't come to join them had actually been watching them from the dark. "
