Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

Chapter 320 Another Mystery

A group of people who came out of the mill returned to the carriage and lifted the guard. After the story of the peasant woman spread in the army, everyone felt more dignified.threshold

Leading the army to continue north into the territory of the Frey family, Werther also wrote letters to King's Landing and the West Territory about what happened here.

Two days later in the morning, the seven city gates around King's Landing City were opened, and the people waiting in line to enter the city found that apart from the small officials who collected the city tax at the gates, today's gold robes were particularly energetic, and all of them were on guard with weapons.

"What are they doing?" a farmer queuing into town with herbs on his back asked the people around him.

"Something might have happened, look, the new Lord Commander in Gold, Jon, is here." The young man carrying a pile of furs replied.

A pony-sized direwolf with white fur and eyes as red as blood was resting on the ground. Jon must be nearby wherever it went.

Dozens of gold-cloaked men seemed to be guarding something with their weapons in their hands. It took a while after the gate was opened to allow them to enter the city. Several loud voices began to shout: "All those who have paid their taxes, spread your palms! Spread your palms!"

"Show your palms, which noble family has been burglarized again?" The farmer looked at his calloused and rough palms without worrying at all.threshold

"King's Landing is not peaceful these days!" The young man echoed his words perfunctorily, standing on tiptoe and looking around.

The team moved slowly, and the peasants and young people were also approaching the small tax table. Only then did they see clearly what the gold robes were doing.

Each golden robe held a short wooden stick in his hand besides his own weapon. One end of the wooden stick was covered with shiny silver metal. Leave something on the palm of your hand, grind it a few times and let it go.

"Is this the new blessing method of the Seven Gods?" After the farmer asked, he found that the young man behind him hadn't answered for a long time, and looked back.The young man's fur is being fought over by several farmers, but the others are nowhere to be seen.

After paying the entrance tax for a few copper stars, the farmer spread his palms, and when the golden robe was rubbed on his palms with a metal stick, he smiled flatteringly and asked, "My lord, what is this for?" What is it for?"

"Check the vampires! Go in after the check and don't get in the way, the next one!" The answer was rough, and the golden robe tugged at his sleeves and told him to follow quickly.

Jon Snow, who stood aside with several captains to supervise him, had a beard on his face and chin, which didn't match his immature appearance.I don't know who gave him the idea, saying that he was still too young except for magic and martial arts, and asked him to grow his beard in order to appear stable and calm his subordinates.threshold

The direwolf White Spirit suddenly stood up and grinned in the direction of the crowd. The magic connection between Jon and the dire wolf White Spirit is very deep now. He sensed White Spirit's reaction and mobilized his magic power a little. Bai Ling smelled a strange smell of blood The feeling of smell came to his mind.

Jon drew out his long sword and shouted: "There are vampires, close the city gate!"

Under the watchful eyes of the unknown crowd, the golden robes quickly closed the city gate.Jon and Bai Ling walked to the direction where the crowd felt the smell: "People in front stop!"

The young man who was walking out of the city didn't look back, and ran away after hearing Jon's words.

"Can you run away?" Jon held the long sword with a sword flower in his right hand and leaned forward, and rushed out with a light step on his foot, leaving behind a string of purple like his sword-holding posture. shadow.

The young man was fast, but Jon was faster, and Ghost, the direwolf, had no four legs to keep up with him.

Looking back, he saw Jon chasing him quickly. The young man tore off his clothes. Amidst the exclamation of countless people, he showed his original vampire shape, and used magic to make his body half-floating and quickly escaped.After the two chased and fled, they quickly left the others behind.

The same city entry inspection also took place in Lindong City, Casterly Rock City and Lannister Port. King Robert didn't want to die at the hands of monsters, and Tywin didn't dare to let the king die in his own place.

Werther led his troops to the Twins.There was no one in the city, and on the bridge connecting the castles on both sides of the river, the five iron gates were either open or closed.

In the castle hall, several rows of narrow wooden tables were put together as a map table, surrounded by Werther, James, and other officers.

"There is an army of nearly 6000 people, as well as officials and civilians living in the Twin Rivers. With so many people, it is absolutely impossible to say nothing!" Sir Adam Marbrand, the cavalry commander, looked at the map: "Here, here, Send cavalry over there to scout."

"Wait!" James was about to order when Werther stopped him. "If one vampire kills and people run away, it can't catch it. If there are hundreds of vampires, the Frey family may be wiped out."

As soon as the words came out, the hall fell into dead silence, and no one dared to make a sound. This situation was too terrifying, and they couldn't accept it for a while.

Werther didn't continue talking. The more they were afraid of vampires, the more afraid they were, the harder they would attack vampires, and the less likely they would be to betray humans and become women. This was the effect Werther wanted.threshold

Not long after, Edmure came in with dozens of nobles and military officers from Hejian.

"White, James, just searched the entire Twin Rivers. One piece of good news, one piece of bad news." Edmure was tired from running, grabbed a glass on the table, and poured it into his mouth, whether it was water or wine.

"Bad news first!" James hoped the good news at last would give morale a boost.

"There are many battle marks in the castle, with dried blood and broken weapons." Edmure raised a finger: "There is not a single corpse in the entire Twin River City!"

With a dignified expression, James propped his hands on the table and slowly raised his head: "What about the good news?"

"We also checked the granary, and all the food in it was gone. We analyzed that if the granary was full, only half of it would be enough to feed an army of 6000 people for a month, and the remaining half must be the escapees of the city people. Time to take it away!" People still have hope to live, which is indeed good news for the present.

"Is there any sign of a large crowd passing by outside the castle?" James asked again.threshold

"This..." Edmure unconsciously raised his hand to scratch his hair.

"Ser James, we've checked the unsoaked human footprints, horseshoe prints and ruts, probably two weeks ago," said Harry Bracken, coming out of the crowd.

Coax~~~ As soon as the people present relaxed, they began to discuss in which direction the people from Twin River City fled.

"It's impossible to go south on the King's Row, that's where we came from."

"To the southwest is the Witch's Swamp. Going there with so much food is purely courting death."

"Twin River City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but this is only for humans. If I want to escape when I encounter a vampire, I will definitely not escape with a large army. Only by dispersing and fleeing can I have a chance to save my life."

"I don't want to hit everyone, but you think of vampires as monsters that can only kill, and forget that they are intelligent." Witte turned his head and looked around the people present: "You all know that you must bring enough blood when you go out to fight. The same is true for vampires, their food is the warm blood of animals, especially human blood. If I were the leader of vampires, I would keep some people by my side for emergencies."

"Damn it! We humans have become vampires' livestock!" Edmure kicked the table and cursed.

Not only were they killed, but they were also used as food. The backs of the young people present felt cold again.

James walked up to Werther, leaned his head closer and whispered, "You shouldn't be so scary. Look at these young people, they are too frightened to ride a horse."

Werther: "It's a fact. It's better for them to accept it in advance than to die in ignorance. And vampires don't kill people unilaterally. You'll know later."

Everyone was digesting the information they had heard. Not long after, Werther's temporary attendants, William, Martin, and Tyrek, three blond boys, each carried a large bundle of weeds and dried flowers, into the hall.Serena and Miriel were each carrying a basket, which was a bit heavy, and contained some glass bottles.

Werther put away the map on the table and put it aside, pointing to the empty table: "Put things here."

"Master Werther, do you see these?" Tyrek asked.threshold

More than half of the alchemy raw materials are various plants. Now every lord in Westeros is engaged in the business of alchemy raw materials. Werther detected a faint fluctuation of magic power as soon as he entered the castle.Several Lannister brothers and sisters didn't know the materials, so they just picked some materials in color and shape according to Werther's instructions.

Werther picked and picked, threw away most of them, and piled up the remaining three: "It's these three, you go and get some more, and find some empty wine bottles by the way."

A few people came over to take a closer look, and then ran out again.

Werther: "Edmure, give me the ashes of the vampire."

"You want to make potions here?" Edmure asked his men to bring over a sack.

The price of vampire ashes is the same weight of silver, and Werther didn't bring any money, so he promised Edmure to make potions from the ashes and give him a few bottles of the best ones to deduct.Edmure was a little puzzled. He had visited the alchemy workshop in Riverrun, and it was spotless, and the magician loved it very much.

Victor nodded.Ordinary mages will not waste mana to build an alchemy table with magic, which is both extravagant and unstable.Werther doesn't care about this, as long as the magic power is strong enough, trash can also be turned into treasure.threshold

While starting the alchemy operation in his hand, he explained loudly to everyone: "The ashes of vampires can be used to refine the four rarest medicinal effects: invisibility, restoration of magic power, restoration of life, and treatment of diseases."

"Oh, amazing." A group of people who don't understand magic answered habitually because they couldn't understand.

"Witt, don't these four effects have other materials?" Soros spoke. He made a dose of potion and sold it in Renly's shop to earn money. He used all his magic power in alchemy.

Werther kept his hands on: "We caught two vampires in Tylosi, and after Master Tyene's research, we found that, for example, the potion for restoring life is already very effective with known formulas. , can be made from the ashes of vampires, and after drinking it can heal the broken limb! Note that the broken limb is healed, not a new one!"

"Healing of broken limbs? This effect is really not as effective as other healing potions." James took out a small glass bottle from his belt and held it in his hand.

The blue liquid inside was crystal clear, with a little shimmer, and Werther saw that it was made by Tyene.This potion can heal a large area of ​​wounds, but the hand is cut off, and the wound cannot be connected to the arm after drinking the potion.

Cobain's eyes lit up, and his broken limbs healed?Limb combination?The more Cobain thought about it, he became more and more energetic, wishing he could start studying these ashes now.threshold

"Werther, give me the ashes of the vampire? I'll give you the money when I return to King's Landing!"

"Row!"

There are a lot of materials. Next, Werther prepared a bottle of potion for each nobleman, a small bottle for high-level nobles and a wine bottle for low-level nobles.It is inconvenient to carry such a big wine bottle with only a little medicine, but it is better than nothing, and the price given by Werther is very favorable.

After the preparation of the potion was completed, everyone began to assign tasks.

In the name of the duke, Edmure formally put all the nobles in the riverland on alert, and recruited magicians from all over the world to come to assist them. Before the magicians arrived, no lord could take the initiative to attack.

The north and south of the Twin River City are swampy land, and the Eagle Point to the west and the Bright Moon Mountain Range to the east are likely to be escape routes for people. James volunteered to search for the Bright Moon Mountain Range, which was farther away, on the grounds that he was leading cavalry.Edmure led the nobles of the Riverlands, and all the soldiers without horses were stationed in the Twin River City, and a small number of cavalry went west to Eagle Point to search.Both sides will release scouting cavalry ahead of time, and return to the Twins immediately if there are too many enemies.

Soros had been a free mercenary in the riverland for a long time, and he often drank with Robert, Edmure and others. When the two got along well, he followed Edmure to protect his safety.Qyburn followed Jaime's cavalry.The two were the first magicians to learn from Werther. With their strength, as long as they don't take the initiative to kill, it is easy to deal with vampires.threshold

Werther himself rode a giant dragon to inspect the swamps in the north-south direction first, and then went to the Mingyue Mountains in the east to assist James. There are more mountains and more dangerous roads as you go to the valley, so it is more convenient to search in the sky.

As long as Witt has no goal, he would rather read a book than to move a step. If he has a goal, he can move as soon as he says he wants to. That night, he carried dry food and set off with Ao Daweiying. Leave early in the morning.

In the next few days, no signs of crowds were found in the swamps in the south and north. Werther flew to the west to find Edmure, but they found nothing, and they continued to search west.

Go east to find James and Cobain. They have just stepped into the Bright Moon Mountains. There are rocky roads and winding roads here, and the cavalry can only make detours in order to exercise their mobility.

"Dragonborn, there seems to be something I hate down there!"

In the sky above the clouds in the northern part of the Bright Moon Mountains, Werther, who was dozing off on top of the giant dragon, was awakened by the loud voice of Ao Daweiying when he spoke. Swooping, almost throwing Werther out.

Werther had told it before that the dragon could not give up his mobility for the Dragon Knight, but now Oda Viying completely disregards whether there is anyone on him to fly once he starts fighting. Fortunately, Werther is used to it.threshold

When he was about to reach the top of a long rocky mountain, Oda Viying spread his wings to the maximum and instantly changed to a level flight, gliding past a savage camp.

Werther, who was hanging on the horn of Odaviying with one hand, looked down at the camp, and found that there were traces of battles everywhere, as well as burnt wooden houses.

"Dragonborn, these ghosts are still killing each other?" Ao Daweiying also looked down.

"I don't know, I'll go down and have a look, you pay attention to stay vigilant!" Werther, who let go of his hand and fell from the sky, didn't understand either.The battle marks in the camp were not left by humans. The huge claw marks and magic marks on the tree trunks and rocks were caused by vampires killing each other.

Chapter 320 Seventh Dragon Flame

The savage camp was on the top of one of the mountains. There were no living people in the camp, and the ashes of the vampires were blown into the crevices of the rocks by the wind, or several piles were mixed together and swirled in the wind in the wooden house.M

There were also no corpses, only black and red blood that had dried up on the stone. Werther searched several large wooden houses but found no valuable clues. It may also be that most of the savages were illiterate and did not know how to leave clues for help.

Breaking off a branch casually and holding it in his hand, Werther walked to several wooden cages and poked the residue on the ground of the cages with the branch.

"There are not too many boiled potatoes, and there is a pile of dried feces beside it. It seems that the people who were imprisoned here were human beings who were killed or released before they finished eating the potatoes."

Werther walked to the middle of the camp. There were a lot of burnt charcoal, several collapsed wooden grills and an overturned iron pot. The iron pot should be the most valuable thing in the entire camp. take away.

"The vampire cleaned up the corpse on purpose. It seems that some of them know the magician's ability and deliberately targeted it." The summoning magician can "resurrect" the corpse and read some information from the soul that has not dissipated soon after death.Cleaning up the corpses one after another, Werther is sure that a smarter human has taken refuge or turned into a vampire.

The Mingyue Mountains are endless at a glance, and the rows of stone mountains seem to be endless in sight.

Two adjacent mountain ranges that seem very close, if you climb down the steep and steep peak and then up the opposite peak, if you don’t find the right path, it will take you half a day to go up and down. Searching for such a place can only rely on dragon.M

"Oda Viying!"

The sound from the dragon language magic is too loud, and it can be transmitted very far in this terrain. Werther just yelled loudly for fear of scaring the snake.

The dragon hovered and descended, and when it slightly retracted its wings and flew over the valley, Werther jumped up and landed on the dragon's head impartially.

"Flying low along the top of the mountain, I started the magic search."

Oda Viing flew slowly along the tops of rows of peaks as Werther said.Werther, standing on top of the dragon, drove the undead magic to look for traces of vampires.

~~~

On the Eagle Point peninsula in the west, not far from Eagle Fort, the sound of killing was loud.M

"I'm coming to the back of the palace, you all disperse and escape!" Soros, who was riding on the horse, finished speaking, and threw a fireball to the rear with his hands.

Beside him, Edmure and some river nobles were also riding on their horses. Each of them leaned down tightly against the horse's back, with their legs tucked between the horse's belly and ran desperately towards the direction of Twin River City.

Edmure's lips were pale with fright, and he couldn't speak at all.

Soros's attention is now on the rear. Seeing that Edmure didn't respond for a long time, he turned his head to see him like this and immediately ordered to the people around him: "Harry Bracken! You lead the team back to the Twins City!"

"Then what do you do?" The young Harry was still sane.

"The main target of the vampires is me! If I don't lure them away, this group of monsters will keep following! Drive!" Soros turned his horse's head and left the team after speaking, and ran in another direction alone.

Harry looked at Thoros, then back again.M

More than a dozen blue-skinned vampires were chasing after Soros with big strides. Every step they ran could cover the distance of a dozen human steps on the flat grass, and their speed was faster than that of a horse.

Looking back, there are raging flames, a large amount of dry grass is ignited, and countless vampires are slaughtering knights and horses. The screams and desperate cries of giving up are gradually disappearing.

Edmure and his party encountered a sneak attack!

Soros also made several small devices for detecting the undead based on the blueprints issued by Werther. He put the devices on the saddle. The detection distance radius is about 100 meters, and he can see them when he looks down.

A group of about [-] full-suited knights and five scout squads also took the small devices given by Soros and scattered around to give early warning to the large troops. They should have been extremely safe, but they were negligent. Almost wiped out.

The Eagle Point peninsula is surrounded by water on three sides, and a group of people walked out of the swamp and walked westward along the south bank.The south is the sea, and several detection teams naturally gathered in front, rear and one side of the team.They forgot that vampires are not afraid of water. When they passed a small hillside, the vampires rushed out of the sea and killed them directly. A distance of 100 meters, for a vampire who can use magic to walk on water for a short time, it is a charge on the waves, but it is faster.

Soros would not fight a dozen vampires head-on by himself. He tested the opponent's tolerance to magic while running, using fire, frost, and lightning magic one after another.M

The flight speed of the long-distance fireball is too slow for vampires to dodge easily, and the ice cones issued are not very effective, and only lightning can hit accurately.

Soros turned around on horseback, raised one hand and aimed at the nearest vampire.

"what!"

It was no longer the previous temptation. Accompanied by the sound of a huge electric current, a thick electric current bounced from his hand to the opponent's body in an instant, and then passed through the body and landed on several nearby vampires in succession.

"Ah~~"

Just as magicians have different strengths, so do vampires.Among the vampires struck by lightning, two just knelt on the ground and twitched in pain, clutching their chests, baring their fangs and yelling at Soros.The others felt uncomfortable. Two of them had a big hole in their chests, and one just jumped into the air. Before it landed, it turned into a mass of blue-white ashes that drifted away with the wind.
