Despite fighting hard all night, Arthur's physical strength was still at a high level, but his stomach was already growling.
The Dornish princess, who had a happy life, stared blankly at the roof of the tent, "I'm going to die!"
Arthur stood up and said, "It's still early now. I'm going to get someone to get something to eat. By the way, what do you want to eat?"
"Feel free to have some lamb chops or chicken or something. I'm hungry and tired now." Arianne said weakly.
The King of the River cleaned up for a while and finally put on his casual clothes. When he was about to go out, he was stopped by the Princess of Dorne.
"What's wrong?"
Arthur turned around and saw Arianne, who was holding her head in one hand and staring at him with charming eyes.
"It's nothing, I just want to say that Xiao Longlong is really great. From now on, I will only be with you, Du Ai."
The King of Hejian held his head high and said, "After seeing the light of the sun, you will never succumb to the dim light of a candle. I believe you made the right choice."
After saying that, he opened the curtain and went out to tell Mei Dan to prepare breakfast for five people.
Abundant physical strength corresponds to a bottomless stomach. Arthur felt that he could eat enough for four people this morning.
…
After a big breakfast, the King of the River fed Princess Dorne nutritious porridge, and then the two began to clean the trays and food leftovers on the small table.
"Where did that black dragon come from?"
The three major friendships in life are comrades in arms, fellow prisoners and classmates.
Arianne and the River King already have two great friendships, and their relationship has become very close.
Arthur thought for a while and unified the origin of Alduin as flying from the Kingswood.
"It's amazing. My uncle Oberyn has traveled to two continents and studied in the academy for several years, but the conclusion he came to is different from the truth you told." Arianne waved her big black waves.
, and sat next to the King of Hejian.
"I'm also curious about what the prince thinks?"
Arthur was very interested in the origin of dragons, so he took the hand of the Dorne princess and analyzed the origin of the dragon with her.
"According to the records of the school city and the legends on various continents, there are generally two types of origins of fire dragons, the taming theory and the blood magic suture theory. My uncle Oberon supports the blood magic suture theory..."
There are several different theories about the origins of the Fire Dragon and the Valyrian Freehold, but after summarizing all the records and legends, they can generally be divided into two or three categories.
The first category is the theory of taming. The Valyrians tamed the fire-breathing dragon and then began to dominate the entire continent of Essos.
The theory of taming is divided into two categories, one is the theory of the discovery of the Fourteen Fire Peaks, and the other is the theory of the discovery of Yaxia.
The Fourteen Fire Peaks is a huge volcanic chain linking the Valyrian Peninsula and the Essos continent. There are deep mines buried underneath. Four hundred years ago, the Fire Peaks erupted and engulfed the entire Valyrian Peninsula, even making the peninsula truly
It turned into an island and formed the current smoke sea.
In the first theory, the Valyrian people, an extremely backward nomadic people, discovered the dragon near the Fourteen Fire Peaks and mastered the method of taming the dragon about five thousand years ago, so they transformed from nomadic people overnight.
Evolved into a free fortress and began to expand outwards.
But there are four very obvious loopholes in this statement:
The first point is how the Valyrians obtained the method of making corrugated steel;
The second point is that the Var people were even more backward than the Dothraki before. How did they change from a tribal state to an enlightened society where free people can discuss the rule?
The third point is how to build the black stone buildings in Valyria;
The fourth point is, if the fire dragon is really tamed, why are only forty dragon king families allowed to ride the dragon? Ordinary Wa people do not receive preferential treatment from the dragon.
These loopholes cannot be fixed for the time being, so the advanced version of the theory of taming has come, and the theory of discovery of Asshai has made its debut.
In this patched theory, there is a mysterious race called the "Dragon Clan" who discovered and tamed the dragon in the far far east, the shadow land east of Asshai, and then introduced the method of making tile steel, black stone
Buildings and the taming of fire dragons were all handed over to the nomadic Valyria, and the backward tribal system was changed to a free fortress system where free people could discuss and participate in politics.
Arthur couldn't say whether this "dragon clan" came from poverty alleviation, but at least there was a loophole.
Since the method of training dragons is taught, why is there any difference between ordinary Wa people and the forty Dragon King families?
So another, more cruel, but realistic blood magic suture theory was sorted out by bachelors, monks and knowledgeable nobles.
The forty Dragon King families are actually top-notch magical creatures sewn by the "Dragon Clan" using blood magic. Fire dragons were also sewn out at the same time.
There are basically no ancient legends that support this view, but many historical relics vaguely point to this amazing truth.
For example, there are some strange customs popular among the original residents of Qohor and the technology of smelting and forging iron that far exceeds that of other city-states.
This free trade city-state built on the hills is famous for its following features: it loves to use fire to perform blood sacrifices; there are small humanoid creatures nearby that are extremely beautiful; and its forging level far exceeds that of Westeros and Essos.
In most areas, the well-known blacksmiths are usually from Qohor. The blacksmiths in the whole world who can recast tile steel swords must be Qohor people; the King of Light Luo who believes in the Black Goat but loves to burn people with fire.
Hera also has a certain number of followers here.
"When my uncle was working as a mercenary in the Eastern Continent, he went to Kohor for a while. The unusual customs there aroused his thinking. He believed that if that mysterious nation really practiced blood magic and suture witchcraft there, he would have taught it during this period.
If we provide some iron-forging skills to the indigenous people, it will not be difficult to explain the strange customs of Qohor." Arianne said.
The King of Hejian crossed his arms and thought deeply, and said: "I also think that the fire dragon and the forty dragon king families are the products of blood magic."
In ancient times, blood witches and sorcerers practiced blood witchcraft of burning people all over the world. Maybe the Fourteen Fire Peaks, the Land of Shadows, and the Great Forest of Kohor were all experimental locations, but only around the Fourteen Fire Peaks were they successful.
Many known facts are consistent with blood magic suturing.
For example, there was a Targaryen princess who rode Balerion, the Black Death at his peak, to the Sea of Smoke and the ruins of Valyria, but returned injured.
It is known that all the fire dragons at that time were under the control of the Targaryen family, and the Black Death had grown to a peak size of one hundred meters in length and a wingspan of three hundred meters, and was the absolute overlord of the sky.
But under the protection of such a dragon, the Targaryen princess was still seriously injured, and the Black Death was also injured.
Paradoxically, after being injured, blood worms and fire earthworms with human hands and faces began to appear in the princess's body.
Both of these strange creatures have appeared in the records of the academic city, and both come from the continent of Sothoros, south of the continent of Essos.
What's more, the indigenous people in Sothoryos and other places have a characteristic. Whenever women there marry other races, they will give birth to inhuman monsters, and the fetuses will be stillborn. This is similar to the situation of the descendants of "cruel" Maegor.
It corresponds.
According to rumors, Maegor was not the child of Visenya and her brother Aegon I, but was created by the two using blood magic.
All these known facts vaguely point to a conjecture: the members of the Valyrian Dragon King family are stitched together from several creatures such as ordinary vars, fire earthworms, blood worms, and the native people of Sothoryos, and may be mixed with science.
The kind of handsome humanoid creatures in the Great Forest of Hall come to give the dragon kings their "inhuman" beauty.
The injury to the Targaryen princess can be explained. She experienced extreme heat in the ruins of Valyria, which made her body unstable, so the "original shareholders" Fire Earthworm and Blood Worm chose to withdraw.
As for the origin of the fire dragon, it can also be explained by the blood magic suturing theory.
The characteristics of the fire dragon are: the ability to breathe fire; if the space is not limited, the size can grow infinitely; human-like intelligence; those who can ride a dragon can only belong to the forty Dragon King family.
There are three kinds of dragon-like creatures living in Sothothros: Erythrodon, Striated Erythrodon, and Swamp Erythrodon.
Similar to the above, the fire-breathing dragon is stitched together from three dragon-like creatures, members of the Valyrian Dragon King family, high-temperature-resistant fire earthworms and other creatures.
This explains why fire dragons are only close to members of the Dragon King family and can understand pure Valyrian.
"At the same time, my uncle believes that purple eyes and white hair may not be a characteristic of the Valyrian people, but just a mark stitched together by blood magic. For example, the Hightower family in the Tower Tower and the Dayne family in Falling Star City all had it.
The appearance of silver hair and purple eyes has only faded due to thousands of years of intermarriage with outsiders." Princess Dorne expressed her last guess.
The Dayne family and the Hightower family are both ancient families that have existed since the Ancestors. It is certain that these two families are not Wa people, but quite a few family members have the characteristics of purple eyes and white hair.
The world's number one dog licker in Game of Thrones, "Big Bear" Jorah Mormont, the Hightower wife he married at the tourney had white hair and purple eyes.
This is part of the reason why the bear who was assigned by Varys to get close to Daenerys immediately returned to Daenerys and rebelled after seeing her.
Because the beautiful Daenerys is the luxurious and advanced diamond-encrusted version of Jorah Mormont’s wife.
Arthur said: "I didn't expect this, but I know there must be some secret in the towering tower. This secret may reveal the nature of the prehistoric magical civilization, the Dragon Tribe, which has long winters and long summers."
What is certain at present is that some black stone buildings existed in this world long before the rise of Valyria, such as the towering tower of House Hightower, the Seastone Chair in the Iron Islands, the Toad Stone in the Basilisk Islands, and the Yi Di
The huge black stone worshiped by the emperor.
These blackstone buildings are oily and greasy, slightly different from the dry, greaseless blackstone buildings built by the Valyrians.
If the "Dragon Clan" composed of blood wizards once performed blood magic all over the world and left their traces, some of the mysteries of this world can be explained.
As for their motivation, it is probably because the gods they believe in can gain power from the creatures stitched together by blood magic, just like the weirwood trees can provide power to the old gods.
The two were exchanging their opinions when Podrick suddenly reported outside the tent: "A raven has been sent from Harrenhal with important information."
Arthur had to end the discussion with the Princess of Dorne first and agreed to discuss the matter in a simple and in-depth manner when he had time.
"Come in!"
The round-headed Pod walked in and handed over a rolled bundle of paper.
"What's the matter?" Arianne, who had already put on her clothes, lay on the King of the River and read the contents on the note.
"Mrs. He'an is seriously ill and is about to die."
Arthur whispered.
"Is it the Lady Hean from Harrenhal? Why didn't the curse take effect on her?" Princess Dorne asked.
"Isn't this already effective? She is the only member of her family left. Her closest nephew Edmure is also dying, and her two nieces, Lady Stark and Lady Lysa, are not much better."
Arthur replied casually.
The sigil of the Tully family is the trout, and their most famous feature is their fertility. To put it simply, any member of the family is sure to succeed, and as long as they have a relationship, they can become pregnant.
With such a strong bloodline, after Duke Hoster married a He'an girl as his wife, the Tully family suddenly became extinct. It must be said that the curse of Harrenhal is really powerful.
And now, this curse is about to fall on Sansa Stark, who is about to become the new master of Harrenhal.
Although the weirwood stone has been moved out of the castle, it has not been broken by the First King. If it is not intact, there will be no curse effect.
"I have to go to the Great Tomb in the North before Mrs. He'an dies. Time is really tight!"
Arthur thought for a while and decided that the war on the king's side must be resolved quickly before he could take Alduin to the north and raise the tomb of the First King.
"What are you going there for? I want to go with you," Arianne said coquettishly.
The King of Hejian was most impatient with such delicate female voices, so he replied: "There is something very important for me to do. If you want to go with me, you can go. Now, I have to kill these Hebang people first."
After comforting Arianne, he turned around and left the sleeping tent, ready to start teasing Duke Mace.
Everything went according to plan. After Tristan went to the Reach barracks to inform him of Tommen's death, Lord Inflatable Fish was indeed invited to send Matus Rowan to discuss a temporary truce so that they could retreat outside King's Landing.
…
King's Landing, Maegor's Tower, Red Keep.
Stannis, who frowned even more, stared at the map on the table.
Over the past ten days, the enemy troops outside the city have gradually filled in the gullies, traps and deep pits he ordered to dig. Even several bunkers outside the city were smashed into ruins by huge trebuchets.
In order to block the enemy outside the city as much as possible, Stannis sent people to establish several lines of defense on the outside, including ravines and trap areas built to block the huge cavalry army in the Reach. However, Kevan, who used his troops extremely calmly, used
Tens of thousands of soldiers and handymen advanced step by step, filling in all the ravines and traps, and destroying all the enemy fortifications outside the city.
Now that the troops are approaching the city, they are waiting to enter the battle for the city wall, where the two sides will fight.
The extremely coquettish Melisandre came in and handed the tray in her hand to Stannis.
"The previous four false kings are dead, and you are the only one left to survive until this round. Now that Tommen is dead, let the other three false kings die with the blessing of the King of Light, and you will be the only true king."
With a gloomy look on his face, Stannis took the tray, walked to the brazier nearby, and threw three leeches that had absorbed the king's blood and a meager amount of dragon's blood into the brazier.
"Aegon VI Targaryen."
"Arthur Bracken."
"Euron Greyjoy."
The three leeches burned cracklingly in the fire, and then turned into three black solid substances, until they burned into three black smoke and disappeared into the flames.
"Is this enough? Without a little prophecy in the flames?"
Melisandre pretended to be extremely confident, "That's enough. The Lord of Light is the most powerful god, and no one can escape his curse."
What she didn't say clearly was that it was indeed impossible to escape the curse, but if the enemy was proficient in magic, there were many ways to break it.
