Although Prince Martell works in secret, many people know that he wanted to raise an army to support Rhaegar's son more than ten years ago. Although Hellgate Castle is not the first-class prince in Dorne, it is still
It has a long history, and it is normal for it to have more secrets than Sunspear City.
Chen Cheng grabbed a piece of brick with his hand and hung his body outside the wall on the third floor, listening to the three people in the room discussing things. He was not interested in these conspiracies, they were just fighting for power. Perhaps for people in this world
He said that Targaryen and Baratheon were prestigious surnames, but in his opinion, they were nothing more than that.
Looking up at the sky, the stars here are completely different from those on the earth. Neither the Big Dipper nor the Southern Cross can be seen. After living here for a while at Prison Gate Castle, it feels like the Middle East in the Middle Ages on earth.
.Only the stars in the sky reminded him all the time that this was already another world.
After a long time, the conspiracy in the room finally came to an end, and Nymeria and Ulric dispersed. It turned out that this was not Nymeria's palace, but the residence of Harman Uller, Count of Hellgate Castle.
Nymeria returned to her bedroom and was about to reach for the wine on the table when she suddenly noticed that the shadows on the ground had changed into two. She was startled, calmly grabbed the hilt of the sword, turned around and turned back
Stab away. "Chi", the sword force is fast and urgent, but there is no gain.
Just because Chen Cheng stretched out two fingers and clamped the blade of the sword. Nymeria's face showed doubts, joy, surprise, shock, etc. She withdrew the sword and asked in surprise: "How could you
Here? The city gate has been sealed. Could it be that...you finally figured it out?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "No, I'm here just to say goodbye to you."
"Farewell? Didn't you say you would stay at Hellgate Castle for two months? The time has not come yet!"
"There was an accident. Two people who were said to be from Sunspear were killed today..."
Nymeria's expression changed and she asked hurriedly: "Did you kill them? Where are the bodies?"
"It has been taken care of," Chen Cheng seemed to say nonchalantly: "Before I leave, I will give you a piece of news for free. However, this news is only very likely, and may not necessarily be true."
Nymeria asked: "What news?"
"Stannis Baratheon will raise troops from Dragonstone soon. He will kill Renly and then lead the fleet directly into Blackwater Bay. But his surprise attack ultimately failed because the old lion Tywin
*Lannister led his troops to King's Landing at the last moment."
Both Stannis and Renly are the younger brothers of the deceased "Lord of the Seven Kingdoms" Robert Baratheon, but Renly is much more popular than Stannis, and has much more territory and troops than Stannis.
Logically speaking, Renly should have defeated Stannis, but why did Stannis defeat Renly instead?
Moreover, these things that Chen Cheng said have not happened. The look of suspicion on Nymeria's face became more intense. She threw the steel sword aside, walked to the edge of the table, and asked: "You
How do you know these things? Didn't you say you're not a wizard?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said: "I am indeed not a wizard, and the words I just said are not prophecies. I just know some things in advance."
Nymeria thought for a while and then asked: "Then do you know anything about us Dornish people in advance?"
Chen Cheng thought for a while and felt that this world did not exactly follow the plot of the film and television version. He had no control over whether it was novels or films. With the clues he had gathered together, he could not know what happened next, but there was one
The thing was quite impressive.
"There is only one thing related to Dorne. The same thing is just possible and will definitely become a reality."
"What is it?"
"Oberyn Maltaire will die in King's Landing."
Nymeria's aura suddenly became fierce, "Nonsense! Prince Oberon was very skilled in martial arts and good at using poisons. How could he die in King's Landing?"
Oberyn Maltair is the youngest brother of Doran Maltair, the current Prince of Dorne. When he was sixteen, he was discovered to be having an affair with the mistress of Lord Ormond Yronwood, and the earl dueled him.
Due to the prince's birth and age, the duel was agreed to stop at the sight of blood, and both men were injured. A few days later, Earl Ormond died of ulcerated wounds. People thought that Oberyn put poison on the sword, and from then on
, both his opponents and friends call him the "Red Viper".
He traveled around the nine Free Trade Cities, where he learned a lot about poisons, and possibly other dark tricks; he studied in the Citadel, and before getting bored and dropping out, he had forged six chains of the Maester's Necklace;
He worked as a mercenary in the disputed land across the narrow sea. He first served in the Second Sons, and later formed his own team. Rumor has it that he sleeps with both men and women, and there are his illegitimate daughters all over Dorne. These girls
Known as the "Sand Snake".
When Oberyn was young, his mother, the ruler of Dorne, wanted to marry him and Elia, the twin children of Lord Tywin. For this reason, they visited Casterly Rock and met Cersei there.
Jaime and Tyrion. However, the timing of their visit was not right. Lady Joanna Lannister had just passed away. Lord Tywin rudely rejected the proposal and proposed that the newborn Tyrion should replace Jaime and Tyrion.
Leah marries, a suggestion that Oberyn's mother considers a humiliation.
Oberyn was very close to his sister Elia Martell. Following the fall of King's Landing, he heard that his sister was raped and killed by Gregor Clegane, a Lannister knight.
In order to save her children, he tried to get Dorne to establish Prince Viserys. This attempt naturally failed. The young Robert Baratheon possessed unparalleled divine power and easily suppressed rebellions everywhere.
Although the plot failed, his desire for revenge has not faded for a day since then.
He and his brother Doran have been secretly plotting for many years to overthrow Robert Baratheon's dynasty and completely destroy the Lannister family. Oberyn came to Braavos and met with Generals Viserys and Dany.
Ser William Darry, whom Lys rescued and protected, signed a secret contract with him under the witness of the Sea King of Braavos - when Viserys returns to fight for the Iron Throne, Dorne will
Raise his troops, and he will marry Arianne Martell, the princess of Dorne, as his queen.
This plan also failed. Poor Prince Viserys was killed by the angry "Horse King" Drogon who poured molten gold on his head and died tragically in the Dothraki Sea on the Essos continent. Then "Horse King"
"Drogon also died due to the witch's curse, leaving only the last Targaryen, Daenerys Targaryen of "Stormborn", struggling to survive alone on the road across the narrow sea.
Oberyn Martyr is already a legend in Dorne. He has only lost to Rhaegar Targaryen and Barristan Selmy in his life. Naturally, Nymeria cannot believe Dorne.
The legendary warrior Prince Oberon will die in King's Landing.
Chen Cheng shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Believe it or not, I also said that this is just a possibility and may not become a reality. Well, I have said everything that needs to be said, so goodbye."
"Wait a minute," Nymeria said quickly, "Since we are going to say goodbye, why not have a drink first?"
She raised a glass of wine and handed it over. Chen Cheng took the wine glass in his hand, thought for a moment, and said, "Then this glass of wine is your request!"
After that, he drank the wine in one gulp. After he finished drinking, he smacked his mouth, as if he still had something to say. Nymeria smiled slightly when she saw that he drank the wine so happily.
The color changed, but it soon returned to normal, "It's getting late now, why don't you spend the night at my place and leave tomorrow?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "You asked me to drink the poisonous wine just now, and I have already used up my request. I can't be too greedy."
"What? You..." Nymeria was shocked, took two steps back, and grabbed the sword in her hand. "Since you know that the wine is poisonous, why do you still drink it?"
"It may be fatal poison to you, but it may not be fatal to me."
Chen Cheng turned around and jumped out of the window. He jumped up and flew up into the sky as if his body was weightless. Nymeria grabbed the sword and ran to the window. She looked up and saw that Chen Cheng had already risen.
It reached a height of tens of meters in the air, then spread out a pair of wings and flew away under the moonlight.
She opened her eyes wide and cried out in horror: "You still say you are not a wizard?"
Nymeria was shocked and shouted loudly, which could be heard far in the night. After a while, Ulric appeared outside the door with a weapon, and he strode in, "Nymeria, come out.
What happened?"
Nymeria stretched out her hand and pointed at the moon. Ulric looked in the direction of her hand, but saw the bright moonlight and thin clouds in the sky. Other than that, there was nothing.
Chen Cheng jumped into the air, took out his glider, and then flew towards the north. The moon was above his head, as if he could reach it with his hand. The Prison Gate Castle became much smaller in his field of vision. Looking down, he could see
There were some bonfires. There were faint sounds of singing and laughter, adding a soothing atmosphere to this quiet and beautiful world.
He controlled the glider to fly towards the north, and within a short while, he left Hellgate Castle far behind.
【Daenerys】
Under the moonlight, Daenerys fell into a deep dream. She dreamed of the night of her wedding to Drogo, and the two of them galloping side by side. But in the dream, they were riding not horses, but dragons.
The next morning, she summoned three bloodriders. "My blood," she said to them, "I need your help. Please choose three horses each. The strongest and healthiest one can carry as much water as you want.
Just carry as much as you can, and then go out of the city to explore. Ago will go southwest, Rakaro will go due south, and Qiaogo will continue to go southeast with Sirak Kuiya."
Qogo asked: "Khalisi, what do you want us to find?"
"Anything is good," Dany answered. "Find other cities, living or dead. Find caravans and traces of people. Find rivers and lakes and salty oceans. Find out where the wasteland ends, and what lies beyond it."
Scene. When I set off again, I will never move forward blindly. I will not only have a clear destination, but also know the shortcut to get there."
So they departed, bells jingling softly in their hair, while Dany took her small band of followers and settled in a place they called Ves Tororo, meaning "City of Bones."
Come down. Day and night alternate, women gather fruits in the garden of the dead, while men feed the horses, repair saddles, stirrups and shoes. Children roam the winding alleys, unearthing ancient bronze coins and purple glass fragments.
There is a stone bottle with a snake-like handle. A woman was once bitten by a red scorpion, but no one died except her. The horse gradually grew stronger, and under Dany's personal care, Ser Jorah's injuries slowly healed.
heal.
Rakharo returned first. According to his report, the red wasteland continues to extend southward, ending at the barren cliffs of the poisonous water. Between the poisonous water and this place are only rolling red sand, wind-eroded rocks, and spikes.
Plants. He swore that he had passed by the remains of a giant dragon, and the black dragon's mouth was big enough for him to ride through. Other than that, he found nothing.
Then Dany gave him twelve strong men and ordered them to dig up the ground of the square and dig out the soil below. Since devil's grass can survive in the gaps between the stone slabs, other plants must be able to grow here after the stones are removed. They
Many wells have been found, so there is no shortage of water. As long as the seeds are sown, the square can be renovated.
The second person to come back was Ago. He swore that the southwest was scorching hot and a desert. He found the ruins of two cities. Compared with Weiss Tororo, they were not much different except that they were smaller. Among them
A city was surrounded by rusty iron guns with skulls hanging on the tips, so he didn't dare to enter, but he carefully explored another dead city. He showed Dany an iron bracelet he found inside, with a
A fiery red opal as big as a thumb, natural and uncarved. In addition, he also found some scrolls, but most of them were dry and fragile, so Ago did not bring them back.
Dany thanked him and put him in charge of repairing the city gates. Since there were natural enemies in ancient times that could cross the desert and destroy these cities, it is possible that they would attack again. "If enemies attack, we must be ready," she announced.
Qiaogo has not returned for a long time, and Dany is worried about his whereabouts every day. Just when everyone is desperate, he returns from the southeast on horseback. The guards sent by Ago to guard the city are the first to see him and immediately shout out. Dan
Ni immediately went to the city in person. It was true, Jogo was back, but he was not alone. Three strangers in strange clothes followed him, riding an ugly thing with a hunchback that was taller than any horse.
They stopped in front of the city gate and looked up at Dany on the city. "Blood of my blood!" Jhogo shouted, "I went to the great city of Qarth, and these three people came back with me. They want to see it with their own eyes.
See you."
Dany stared at the stranger under the city gate, "I'm here, it's up to you...but please tell me your name first."
The man with fair skin and blue lips said in rough Dothraki: "I am the great wizard Hai Ya Boli."
The bald man with jewels on his nose said in the Valyrian dialect of the Free Trade City: "My name is Xaro Xanwan Daxos, and he is one of the Thirteen Great Men of Qarth."
The woman wearing a wooden lacquer mask said in the Mandarin of the Seven Kingdoms: "I am Kuishi from the Land of Shadows, and we run for the dragon."
"Far, far away," Daenerys Targaryen told them, "so close."
