Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

In the following days, Linde took Nymeria and others around the Summer Hall, as if they were here to relax, and did not seem to take anything related to the Savage King to heart.

Every night, he went back to the ruins of Summer Hall and re-entered the illusion created by the energy of the resentful soul.

After several phantom trips, he also discovered some unusual things. The first was the dragon egg. Linde came to the altar as soon as he entered the hall. He saw the dragon egg in the copper basin of the altar and looked at it. They were wrapped in wildfire, watching them burn to ashes, and watching that there was still one dragon egg left, but this dragon egg had become an illusion and no longer an entity.

Secondly, the person the female dwarf and Aegon V saw did not seem to be him, because he changed positions several times afterwards, but the behavior of the female dwarf and Aegon V was still the same as when he first came here. , the line of sight did not change as his position changed.

Either when he first came, he traveled through time and space because of the resentful energy here, and it overlapped with certain times on the night of the Summer Hall fire decades ago, which allowed the female dwarf and Aegon V to see him.

Either the two of them saw something other than him at all. It was just that the first time he came, he happened to coincide with the location of the mysterious existence, so there was an illusion that he was looking at themselves.

In addition, while traveling around, he and Nymeria also heard some rumors about the ruins of Summer Hall in the surrounding villages.

Someone once entered the ruins of Summer Hall at night and was killed by the ghosts entrenched there. When those people died, they had burns all over their bodies as if they were burned by flames.

However, the weird thing is that if a person has so many burns on his body, then all the clothes on his body should have been burned, but in fact only some of the clothes have signs of burns, and most of the others are intact.

It can be seen that when he was in the illusion at that time, if it were not for the power of the frozen dragon rune that was lower than the burning, he would probably have been burned.

One of those who died had survived into the early morning hours, only to die when his friends found him in the ruins of Summerhall, muttering about dragon eggs, dragon eggs.

This rumor also made Linde speculate about the origin of the dragon egg in his hand. Perhaps after the fire, the dragon egg was hidden in the illusion by the resentful energy here, until like him, he could avoid being burned by the flames without being injured. Only when people show up can they obtain this dragon egg.

This speculation also made Linde couldn't help but think about the dragon mother Daenerys. It seemed that she was the Unburnt One. This dragon egg might have been prepared for her, but Linde had an accident in the process.

In any case, Linde could no longer obtain any other more useful information from this vision. Keeping it might be able to complete the record of the tragedy in Summer Hall, but that was none of his business.

Therefore, Linde gave all the resentful soul energy in the ruins of Midsummer Hall to Glory. Glory, which had already reached the limit of endurance, couldn't wait to rush into the ruins of Midsummer Hall, greedily devouring all the resentful soul energy. In Lind's eyes, the sight of energy being swallowed was as spectacular as a whale feeding.

The noise caused by the devouring of the resentful soul energy was so loud that it even affected the real world. Many people in the camp got out of their tents and looked towards the ruins of Summer Hall, because they all heard a loud noise that was so harsh that they couldn't help it. The screams were described in detail, and the ruins of Summer Hall looked particularly eerie at night, making the effect of the screams even more intense.

At this time, sharp-eyed people saw Linde standing in the ruins. They didn't understand what was going on, but they also knew that they shouldn't get close at the moment, so they all stood on the edge of the ruins moat and watched.

In addition to Linde and Nymeria's men, among these people were some savage tribe leaders and their tribesmen who were waiting for food and weapons to be delivered. They were not just standing quietly like Linde's men. They were all very They gathered together in panic and muttered something.

Although I can't understand their language, it's not difficult to guess from their expressions that they should be talking about ghosts, curses and other words.

Soon the scream that penetrated directly into the ears disappeared, and everyone was inexplicably relieved. However, before they could recover from the abnormal situation just now, they saw that the fur all over their bodies turned white. Glory walked out of the ruins with a faint white light, walked up to Linde, and rubbed his head on Linde's arm.

"This is Lord Linde using the power of the Seven Gods to eliminate the curse of the Summer Hall!" Some Seven Gods believers in the crowd immediately exclaimed, and all of them knelt down towards Linde and recited the prayers of the Seven Gods. .

The people from the savage tribe on the other side also surrendered to the ground, chanting some incomprehensible languages ​​with great piety.

Only those who have seen the white fur form of Glory are not shocked, but they still feel inexplicably shocked. After all, Glory emitting white light in the dark night looks very sacred no matter how you look at it.

Linde also noticed the movement in the camp, and he could not ask Glory to change its fur back to the black and white stripes, because Glory was a bit full from the meal and could not control its abilities for the time being. It needed to be digested for a while.

So, Linde led Glory back to the camp. Without explaining anything, he simply gave everyone instructions and led Glory back to the tent.

After that, Glory stayed in Linde's tent to digest the resentful soul energy for two days without running around. Linde also stayed in the tent to digest the purified resentful soul energy that Glory directed to himself.

During this period of time, Linde discovered that all the side effects of the last dragon feast ceremony had disappeared. Even if he took off the dragon rune necklace, he would not be affected by the battle memories of the lost knights. By the way, even peace The side effects of the messenger's memory of killing also disappeared.

This means that his first Dragon Feast Ceremony is completely over and he can perform the next Dragon Feast Ceremony.

After the glorious manifestation, the leaders of the savage tribes looked at Linde with a hint of reverence. In the past, they used to call Linde the Chosen One just as a nickname, but now they have used it as a nickname. Linde was regarded as the true chosen one.

After Green Valley City sent the first batch of food and weapons, Lind handed the things to the savage tribe, and then repeatedly emphasized that they should follow their plan, and then asked Soros to select a few trustworthy people from his compatriots. As a liaison with the savages, responsible for the subsequent handover of food and weapons.

After everything was arranged, Linde and Nymeria continued on the road. This time they were going to the Blackport City of Dondarrion's family, and they could meet the Lightning King Beric who would become the legend in the future. ·Dondarrion.

According to Lind's understanding, Beric Dondarrion is now the lord of Blackport City. His father became ill during the extreme cold disaster. Now he is only a teenager and has to take the position of lord. From now on In one aspect, he is somewhat similar to Baron Ewood of Green Valley City.

The extreme cold natural disaster seemed to have caused the lords of many territories to change. The lord in the same situation was Bryce Cullen, the lord of Nightsong City. However, he was a bit miserable because his whole family died of illness in the extreme cold natural disaster. Only he survived.

According to Brienne, her father seemed to have found the Earl of Evesong City and wanted Brienne to make a marriage contract with Bryce Cullen. I don’t know how the discussion was negotiated at the time, but in Bryce Cullen After becoming the Earl of Night Song City, this matter was settled.

Linde's team took the famous Bone Road. This road is a very ancient road that has existed as early as the Ancestors. Later, when Dorne controlled the frontier, Dorne in order to better transport various goods. After growing goods, they repaired this ancient road and built it into a road that can allow carriages to pass through.

However, as the competition for the frontier lands with the Stormlands and the Reach intensified, the Bone Road became a military artery. The Dornish people built a large number of fortresses and watchtowers on the mountains on both sides of the road to strictly control it. The bone path.

It was not until the emergence of Targaryen and dragons that the role of the bone tunnel became less important. In addition, during the battle to conquer Dorne, Daeron Targaryen I discovered a path that could bypass the bone tunnel. The fortresses and watchtowers thus weakened the strategic significance of the Bone Passage again, and later the Bone Passage north of the Weir River was occupied by Stormland.

As Dorne surrendered to the Targaryen dynasty, the military role of the Bone Road was greatly reduced, and it became a pure trade road. However, due to the large number of mountain bandits and wildling tribes that have been entrenched here all year round, this road is compared to the Prince's. The pass was much more dangerous, so there were very few caravans willing to take these two routes, and they became deserted over time.

When Linde's team entered the Bone Road, this road had probably not been traveled for several years. The weeds in the gaps between the stones on the road were as high as the knees. They were so dense that it was difficult to see clearly the stone road under their feet.

It took about four days for Linde and the others to walk the distance from Summer Hall to Black Harbor. When they were about two leagues away from Black Harbor, they had already seen the castle of Black Harbor City standing on the bone. On the steep ridge on one side of the road, the city wall is made of black basalt, which looks solid and solemn. At the bottom of the mountain below the city wall, there is a bottomless dry mountain stream, forming a natural defense.

On the bone road in front of the castle, a huge city wall was built to block the bone road. Only a city gate more than ten meters high was left for people to pass through. The city wall extended all the way along the hillside, and finally connected with the city wall of Black Steel City. Connected together, many houses were built on the hillsides on both sides of the city wall, forming a medium-sized town.

Just like Green Valley City, Linde also informed Blackport City of his decision to visit in advance. Blackport City also learned about his location from the watchtower. Before he came to Blackport City, he had already Waiting there on the bone road under the city.

"Lords Earl Lind and Earl Nymeria, welcome your arrival. Our lords have already prepared a banquet in the castle for your arrival." The manager of Blackport City saw Lind and the others approaching, He looked at Glory worriedly, but still tried to calmly speak.

Although Beric Dondarrion did not greet him like Lord Ewood of Green Valley City, Lynde did not care. After he and everyone dismounted, they walked towards the cliff on the ridge under the guidance of the steward.

There is no direct road to the castle from the Bone Passage. The outer wall of the castle can be reached by following only one road along the wall. Below the wall is the horse gallery, where Rossos stayed with his men to take care of the horses. Others followed Linde to climb the city wall and arrived in front of the Blackport City Castle.

The original purpose of building Black Harbor City was for military use, so the location chosen was a dangerous location. As long as this place was guarded, the army would not be able to pass through the Bone Road.

However, this also makes Blackport City extremely barren. The land here is not suitable for growing any crops, but is only suitable for growing some fruit trees. For a long time, Blackport City brewed fruit wine and sold it to the outside world to support the needs of the territory.

However, there is also a saying that Blackport City will use its convenient location to conduct smuggling and obtain huge profits, so that it can maintain Blackport City's standing force of up to a thousand people.

Because Blackport City's food had to be purchased from outside, Blackport City was controlled by others for a long time. However, this situation changed after they discovered that there was a valley in the mountains east of the Bone Road that was suitable for growing crops. Now that piece of land has become the most important piece of land in Blackport City, but the problem is that the land does not belong to Blackport territory.

Originally, the Tyrell family was not interested in this territory in the Crimson Mountains. It had not been developed for so many years. Blackport City only tried to occupy part of it for farming at first. When they saw the Tyrell family, they did not make any reaction. Then he became bolder and eventually occupied all that land.

Similar to their family, there are the Swann family of Stonehelm City and the Morrigan family of Crow's Nest. They both occupied a piece of land belonging to the Tyrell family. The Tyrell family did not express any dissatisfaction, let alone faction. He was a human being, not even reprimanded.

Originally they thought nothing would happen and everything would continue like this, but the Tyrell family actually gave this territory to the newly promoted Earl of Summer Hall. This news spread to the Stormlands, catching them completely off guard.

If it were just an ordinary noble, Blackport City might be able to use its own army and special geographical location to suppress the other party and make the other party give up this territory, or make this territory belong to the other party in name, but in fact it still belongs to the other party. They control.

But now the newly promoted Earl of Summerhall is no ordinary nobleman. He has become the most legendary figure in the entire Seven Kingdoms over the years. His reputation has even surpassed that of Arthur Dayne, the Sword of Dawn, and the fearless Ba Legendary figures such as Listan and Duncan the Tall have already been placed together with the ancestors' heroes from the legendary era.

No one would think that this kind of boast is too much, because Lynde Terra, Earl of Summer Hall, is such a legendary figure. If nothing else, just his status as the Chosen One of the Seven Gods is legendary enough, not to mention his godlike appearance. Such powerful combat power.

Especially at the celebration banquet in Lannisport, the ability he showed to master wind and thunder made the Ironborn feel that he was the incarnation of the legendary Storm God.

It is said that some ports and fishing villages that were plundered by the Ironborn have spontaneously built temples to the Storm God. Although the statues inside have different appearances, they all appear to be wearing four swords and with a giant shadow lynx beside them. The reason why this is so , entirely because in the Ironborn's religion, the Storm God is the mortal enemy of the Drowned God. They feel that praying to the Storm God can ward off the Ironborn who believe in the Drowned God.

For such a legendary figure who has been mythologized in the hearts of many people, Blackport City has no room for resistance. They can only passively wait for Linde's decision.
