The earliest place of origin of the Andals was located on a peninsula in the north of the Essos continent, adjacent to the Shivering Sea, called the Ax Island.
For unknown reasons, this ethnic group went south to establish the Andas, whose southern territory consisted of flat lands and velvet hills. They fought with the natives here, such as the shaggy savages, and seized control of this land.
Andas is located to the south of the coast of Braavos, to the east of the Narrow Sea, and to the west of the Norvos Hills. The west of the region is plain terrain, while to the east there are hills, such as the Velvet Hills.
Here, the Andals developed their own culture and religious beliefs. Legend has it that the incarnations of the Seven Gods came and crowned their first king, Hugo, King of the Hills.
For the convenience of distinction, Qyburn refers to the Andals who are still in the Andas region as the Andals, and the Andals who have migrated to Westeros as the Andals.
"Not only me, but most bachelors who study gods and magic believe that this world is godless. Even doctors who are extremely repulsive to magic also agree with this view."
Cobain then added.
But the well-informed Prince Oberyn didn't think so.
"There is a trading city-state called Lys in the southeast of the Stepped Stone Islands. Some of their customs can prove the existence of the Lys Weeping Woman."
Everyone was puzzled and asked what the evidence was.
Prince Oberyn smiled evilly, "One of Lys' specialties is poison. The world's first poison, Tears of Lys, and the world's second poison, the Strangler, all come from here. As far as I know, the tears of the Weeping Lady of Lys are the Tears of Lys."
.”
The Weeping Lady is another name for the Weeping Lady of Lys.
Arthur nodded and agreed with this statement.
The biggest driving point of the plot of Game of Thrones is that Jon Arryn was poisoned by his wife Lady Lysa, and the poison was the Tears of Lys.
This is a very rare and expensive poison. Its taste is as sweet as water. It can be dissolved in wine or water. It cannot be smelled or tasted. It can cause death like intestinal disease by disturbing the intestines and stomach, leaving no trace behind.
trace.
The strangler is a crystal the size of a seed. When illuminated by lights, it will shine like jewelry, shining with purple light.
Although this poison is not well-known, it is famous for the people it kills.
In the original plot, Emperor Joffrey died from strangulation at the Purple Wedding.
Prince Oberyn is nicknamed "The Red Viper" because he is good at poisoning. Based on his knowledge of poisons, this statement should be credible.
But Arthur I was still puzzled and asked: "How does the weeping woman deliver her tears to the hands of believers?"
The Red Viper took the wine bag handed over by his mistress Ellaria Sand and drank a sip before answering:
"The shrine, the shrine dedicated to the Weeping Lady, will shed silver tears from time to time. After being processed by the alchemist of Reese, it can become the Tears of Reese."
At this time, the army has advanced to a relatively gentle hill. Looking around, there are still mountains all around.
Marquis Innis, who was leading the team in front, rode over and asked: "Your Majesty, it is almost evening now, and there are cliffs ahead. Why not camp here? We will arrive at Sarsfield City at about noon tomorrow."
The king nodded and ordered the war minister to go and arrange the garrison.
This army consists of 4,000 Riverside Alliance troops, more than 3,000 Rowan and Oakheart Alliance troops, more than 4,000 Tyrell and Riverbend family soldiers, and 4,000 Frey soldiers. Each army has
His own leading nobles and knights are not personally responsible for many details of the king.
As for Silver Mountain City and Deep Cave City, a thousand Rowan-Oakheart soldiers were left in each. The people of the West were busy defending on two fronts and could not spare a large army to recapture these two castles.
In less than half an hour, the huge tent for the king had been set up, making Arthur feel that power was great.
After the servants set up simple furniture, the discussion about gods resumed.
There were even more nobles joining this time, including Queen Margaery who came with the army but in a carriage, the cripple Rosso who came from Raventree City, the Earl of Pink City Clermont Piper, the first heir of Alan City."
The bad guy "Ronald Vance", the Earl of Travel's Rest Carlyle Vance, the Knight of Golden Tree City Thaos Rowan, and even the hostage of the valley Harlan Hunter and more than 20 nobles with sufficient status participated in this event.
enlarged meeting.
People are discussing whether gods exist. Most people tend to believe in gods, but only a few people believe in gods devoutly.
This is not their fault. Bachelors are responsible for the education of many nobles. This group does not believe in God, so the students they teach naturally do not have much respect for gods.
"Adults, let me tell you my point of view." The little devil who had already drunk himself to the point of drunkenness suddenly stood up and began to express his lofty views.
"If you are familiar with history, you will find that some gods were created by the founders themselves, such as the Thousand-Faced God. The appearance of this god was so simple that I thought I could also create a religion."
The little devil who loves reading began to explain the origin of the God of Many Faces to everyone.
This god is the god believed in by the Faceless Men, an assassin organization founded in the Free Trade City of Braavos. The founder of the Faceless Men realized and believed in the volcanic mines of ancient Valyria that Valyrians from all over the world
The Leah slaves all prayed to different incarnations of the same god, the god of death.
The God of Many Faces has many names. In Qohor, he is the "Black Goat"; in Yidi, he is the "Night Lion"; in Westeros, he is the "Stranger".
"The first Faceless Man walked in the mines, listened to the prayers of many slaves, and then summarized this god. As far as I know, this god has never performed miracles."
Tyrion said loudly.
A knight of the Reach, Egilon Oakheart, immediately objected: "No, what Lannister said is wrong."
When everyone asked why it was wrong, the knight replied:
"If we really follow the teachings of the Thousand-Faced God, then every time there is a death, the Thousand-Faced God is performing a miracle. In this way, the Thousand-Faced God is the god who performs the most miracles."
The nobles laughed one after another.
This is indeed a good bad joke.
"Okay, everyone." Arthur stood up and began to summarize the gods.
"We now have three theories. The first is that there is no god. The so-called gods are just wizards, priests, monks, alchemists, moonsingers, red monks, dark warlocks, necromancers, cloud wizards, and fire warlocks.
, Blood Witches, Nightcrawlers and other groups’ explanations of magical phenomena.”
For some unknown reason, there are far fewer magicians in Westeros than in the Eastern Continent where monsters and monsters are common.
The nobles listened quietly to Arthur I's words, only Qyburn and a few others nodded in agreement.
The king paused and spoke about the second view, "The second view is represented by the Thousand-Faced God and his followers, and advocates the God of Rules, that is, a certain god who is responsible for certain rules of the world. For example, the God of Death, who plays different roles in different
Ethnic groups have different names in different regions, but they are essentially the same god."
This won the approval of Tyrion, Queen Margaery, and several ungodly followers of the Seven Gods.
"The third theory is very scary. All the gods with different names in this world exist, and they all have their own divinity. The responsibilities of many gods overlap with each other, and the two are competing for believers."
Prince Oberon and Bald Aenys recognized the third point.
Most of the remaining people did not express their opinions. They were not very interested in gods and did not want to go against the king's wishes in this discussion.
But Arthur I wanted to understand the secrets of the gods. If the third situation really happened, then he could make some preparations.
For example, when expanding, intercepting the power of faith, seizing the godhead, and preparing to become a god.
"I don't reject any of these three theories, but I want to understand the secret of the gods. You can go on to list the evidence and try to convince me."
The king gave orders to those who had expressed their opinions.
Cobain, who had the most food in his stomach, spoke first:
"Your Majesty, if we understand some basic facts, we will find that the so-called gods may not really exist. For example, people have souls. Even if the body is damaged and close to death, the soul will not leave. This
It’s the ghost in the mouths of most civilians.”
This old bachelor really wanted to say that he could really capture souls and create painless, emotionless "people", but on this occasion, he still wanted to maintain his image as a bachelor.
After all, quite a few lords were repelled by black magic, so they collectively wrote to the city to deprive him of his bachelor's necklace.
The king sat on the chair again, "The bachelor is right, the soul does exist. As far as I know, two people have been resurrected after death, and one of them died several times."
What Arthur mouthed was the Lightning King and Lady Stoneheart.
With the blessing of the red-robed monk Thoros, the Lightning King was resurrected several times, and the last time he used his "fire of life" to resurrect Lady Caitlin, who had been dead for several days.
"But miracles do exist. For example, the Lord of Light can send prophecies to believers in the fire. That beautiful red-robed witch, Melisandre, saw my deeds in the fire.
I chose to convince Lady Selyse and came to King's Landing to assist me."
King's Road.
Originally, Melisandre was the best person to discuss the gods.
In terms of magic, the twenty-odd people here combined are not as knowledgeable as a shadowbinder and a red-robed witch.
But Melisandre is very self-righteous. She often promotes the prophecies she sees by herself. She is also very capable and does whatever she says.
Before the situation was completely stabilized, Arthur did not dare to let Melisandre stay by his side, so he sent her to follow the team going to the Wall to help defend against the wildlings and white ghosts.
Cobain couldn't explain this, so he smiled and sat down without saying anything.
"My lords, I suddenly had an idea." Arthur looked around at the nobles. "Everyone knows that the Baratheon family has a strong character. As long as the parents are pure-blooded Baratheons, their children will be good.
He has black hair, and not even dragon blood can suppress it, let alone Lannister's blond blood."
These words made all the nobles chuckle.
The meaning of strong caste is that black-haired Robert was turned green because his three nominal legitimate sons and daughters were all blond.
"But black hair is one of the symbols of the ancestors. Although Oris, the ancestor of the Baratheon family, also has black hair, it is said that he is a close relative of Aegon I, and this bloodline cannot suppress dragon blood."
The hair color of our ancestors was generally dark, with brown being the most common, but there were also many black hair.
Arthur went on to tell his speculation, "The Storm King family also has black hair, so the strong character of the race is probably inherited from the Durandon family."
"Then why does the Durandon family have such a strong bloodline? Let's take a look at ancient mythology. The ancestor of the Storm King, Duren the God-hate, married the daughter of the God of the Sea and the God of Wind. It's hard to say whether he gave birth to any children.
.But if the Storm King’s lineage has the blood of gods, then it makes sense that the dragon’s blood cannot suppress the black hair of the Baratheon family.”
These words made some nobles nod in approval. Their hair color and bloodline were familiar to them.
Marquis Aenys exclaimed: "So Baratheon has the blood of gods? My Seven Gods, how noble this must be."
A few knowledgeable nobles did not pay attention to this stupid statement.
Tyrion muttered to himself: "I have long seen stories of the ancient kings communicating with the gods. If we follow this theory, wouldn't the gods have entities like humans and be able to interact with humans normally?
"
Qyburn strongly agreed with this, "Lord Lannister is right, the gods are just animals that have mastered magic. In some aspects, humans may be stronger than the gods. I believe that as long as we continue to study, gods, magic, death, etc.
Nothing is a secret anymore.”
This is one of his dreams. Conducting in vivo experiments is only a means, not an end.
"To put it all together, I agree with the second theory, but the first one can also be explained by the fact that some gods are actually magical creatures, but they know more powerful magic, which makes people mistakenly think they are gods."
Arthur concluded.
We need to continue to study the matter of gods. It would be great if there was a loyal and powerful wizard or priest by his side.
…
King's Landing, Red Keep, Crow's Nest.
This is the residence of the Grand Maester, a spacious suite filled with shelves full of herbal ointments and potions, as well as several shelves filled with scrolls and books.
This room is located in an inconspicuous corner of the Red Keep. The former Grand Maester Pycelle lived here for decades until he was sent to the Wall by the current King Arthur I.
The Grand Maester who took over, Gorman, had mediocre qualifications and was about the same age as Pycelle. Apart from his background in the Tyrell family, he had no merit whatsoever.
It was already night. After eating, Ge Man returned to the spacious but crowded room and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
"Queen Sansa is really hard to take care of," he murmured.
The pregnant queen kept him busy for a long time, preparing recipes for her and deciding what she could not eat and what she should eat less.
Just after lighting the candles on the candlestick, Archmaester Germann suddenly noticed a figure in front of him.
Just as he was about to scream, his throat was stabbed.
The dark red blood spurted out for a full foot, and then the body fell down with a roar.
After a few breaths, the mysterious man confirmed Ge Man's death, then blew out the candles and quietly left the crowded room.
A few hours later, the box in the corner was suddenly opened, and a fat man wearing a hood and a black robe jumped out.
Under the cover of darkness, the former intelligence chief, the Eight-clawed Spider Wallis, looked at the already cold Ge Man on the ground, feeling puzzled.
Who else is thinking of killing the new Grand Maester?
Even though he is as smart as he is, he still can't figure out the key.
But this is just a small detail. The focus tonight is the Duke of Metz.
His uncle was killed, and Varys was sure that Lord Tyrell must not be able to sleep, so he rushed to check on the situation.
After finding a hidden and convenient location for escape, the fat man Varys hid it flexibly.
Sure enough, after midnight, an assistant maester discovered something unusual in the grand maester's room and reported it to the next level.
In just ten minutes, the Duke of Metz arrived here with several guards.
The inflatable fish that loved his uncle had no idea that there was anyone in the room. He broke in regardless of the guards' obstruction, threw himself on the body of his uncle Ge Man, and began to cry loudly.
Varys no longer hesitated and activated the crossbow in his hand. The new Prime Minister was hit by an arrow in the neck and died on the spot.
