Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King Chapter 146

Chapter 146 Keel

In the darkness, the light of the torch was only a small dot.

The voices of the conversation between the two can no longer be heard clearly.

Arya dared to follow behind secretly.

“… need… more birds…”

“…I can arrange…”

“…young…literate…”

“…is safe…risky…”

Arya didn't dare to follow too closely. She almost lost sight of the other party several times. She kept moving forward. She almost kicked a stone halfway and almost hit a wall. Fortunately, there were no dangers.

She didn't know how far she had traveled, maybe how many miles?

Finally, she lost track.

In the dark, she lost her way and could only **** for the wall to move forward.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the light.

Arya smelled the salty sea breeze, excitedly accelerated and rushed out, and then saw the endless black water bay.

Under the setting sun, a few seagulls flitted across the sea, and countless white sails crowded in the port, like flags.

Arya realized that she had actually left the Red Castle.

Fortunately, as long as she is still in King's Landing, she can see the Red Keep standing tall on the Aegon Hills as soon as she looks up, so Arya won't get lost.

She quickened her pace, afraid that she would miss dinner if she went home late, and would be scolded by her father again.

However, when she arrived outside the gate of the castle, the gold-cloaked guards looked at her with disgust and drove away:

"Get out of here, boy, this is not the place for you."

"But I live in it," Arya cried.

The gold-cloaked guard laughed loudly: "Then I'm still the king."

Arya knew that she must be in a mess right now. Her clothes were covered in dust, her hair was messed up, and her shoes were all lost. She really didn't look like she lived in a castle.

"I am Arya of House Stark, my father is the Hand of the King, and I really live in the Red Keep." She tried to explain.

It's a pity that the gold-cloaked guards still don't believe it: "Boy, the story is well written, but you got the gender wrong. Miss Arya is a girl. Get out, if you don't leave, I'm going to beat someone!"

"I'm not a kid!" Arya was angry, "If you don't let me in, I'll let the King's Hand fire you all!"

"Get out!" A gold-cloaked guard yelled angrily, and shook his fist at Arya.

It's a pity that she deftly dodged it.

"Stop."

Arya heard a familiar voice behind her, she turned her head, and suddenly showed a surprised smile:

"Lord Caesar!"

"Arya, why did you run outside the Red Castle?" Samwell looked at the little girl who was dirtier than before, and couldn't help laughing and shaking his head.

Sure enough, it's Arya the "troublemaker".

"I was catching cats, and then I entered a dark place..." Arya hesitated, not saying what she overheard, "...and then I ran outside the Red Castle without knowing what happened. "

Samwell's heart moved when he heard it, this little girl won't slip into the secret passage of the Red Castle, right?

That's a good place!

Samwell is worried about not finding it.

"Let's go, I'll take you in." Samwell took Arya's hand and walked towards the gate.

Of course the gold-cloaked guards knew this young baron who had just won the championship of the tournament, and quickly bowed to salute, while being secretly amazed—

That dirty kid is really the daughter of the Hand of the King?

"Lord Caesar, are you out on business?" Arya asked with her head raised.

"Yes." After hearing the news that Petyr was attacked by the "Red Viper" on the street, Samwell ran to watch the excitement.

It's a pity that he was one step too late, and both of them were taken away by the hand of the king.

Hearing that Petyr had lost an arm, Samwell secretly laughed for a long time.

But for Petyr, it is obviously not the end.

Next, he is also on trial for the murder of Jon Arryn.

Let's see what you do this time.

Passing through the bronze gate, the two walked into the Red Castle, and Samwell suddenly asked:

"Arya, can you show me the place you caught the cat before?"

"Okay." Arya nodded, "Shall I go now?"

"Yes." Samwell couldn't wait.

Because he knew that there were some good things in that secret passage.

So, led by Arya, the two came to the hidden cellar entrance again.

However, the entrance is very small, and the passage inside is also very narrow, so Samwell can only crawl in.

Fortunately, he has already lost weight, otherwise he would really be stuck here.

After climbing through this passage, Samwell came to a spacious space.

"Lord Caesar, come quickly, those monster bones are here." Arya waved in front.

Samwell waited for his eyes to adapt to the darkness here before moving on.

After pushing open a wooden door, he really saw dark shadows.

Samwell suppressed the excitement in his heart, stretched out his hand to hold the giant sword [Dawn] behind him, and slowly pulled it out.

As red-gold lines appeared on the milky-white sword body, the fire-like light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

"Wow! Lord Caesar, your sword will burst into flames! Just like that red-robed monk!" Arya exclaimed.

Samwell didn't try to argue that his sword was not the same as the red monk's flaming sword, he just wanted to see the things he had been waiting for for a long time—

The skull of a giant dragon!

He thought that the remains of the dragon must be daunting, but when he saw the things in front of him clearly with the firelight of [Dawn], he found that they were such beautiful things!

The dark bones are like agate, smooth and bright, shining crystal luster under the firelight.

Such a terrifying giant beast, but the bones left behind are so shockingly beautiful.

It's unbelievable.

"It's so beautiful!" Arya also exclaimed. She was frightened by these things in the dark just now, but after seeing them clearly, she realized that they were not scary at all. Instead, she couldn't help reaching out and touching them, " Are these crystal sculptures?"

"No. They are the remains of a dragon."

"Dragon?" Arya was taken aback, and quickly moved her hand away.

"Yes, the dragon. The most terrifying war machines of the Targaryen family are all here." Samwell brought [Dawn] closer to those skulls, and then found that the fire seemed to be brighter.

These bones seem to welcome the sword, or, welcome the fire.

The dragon in front of me has only skulls left. There are nineteen of them, big and small.

Arya pointed to the two smallest skulls and asked, "Are these two also the remains of a dragon? Why are they so small?"

"Those are the last two giant dragons hatched by the Targaryen family. They are deformed and short-lived." Samwell looked at the two skulls about the size of ordinary hounds, his eyes flickering.

"Oh." Arya looked at the largest dragon skull again, "That must be Balerion, the Black Death, right?"

"Yes." Samwell walked over and stood in the **** maw of Balerion, feeling the horror of this terrifying monster up close, "It is said that the 'Black Death' can swallow a whole bison in one bite, now It seems that it is really not an exaggeration."

Arya also stepped in cautiously, and found that even if there were two people standing, there was still extra space in the big mouth.

"It's so big!" The little girl exclaimed, "It's so big with only one head, how big and terrifying the whole dragon would be!"

Samwell couldn't help imagining the appearance of the giant beast in front of him, imagining the scene when it spread its wings, soared into the sky, and breathed out flames.

When "Conqueror" Aegon Targaryen landed in King's Landing, he had an army of less than 2,000 people. With these troops alone, no one thought he could gain a foothold on this continent, let alone conquer the Seven Kingdoms.

But he also has three dragons—

Belerion, Meraxes, and Vagarhar.

These three giant dragons, named after the ancient gods of Valyria, showed extraordinary power in the subsequent war.

In the most famous battle of "Raging Fire", the coalition forces of King Casterly Rock and the King of the Reach were directly burned to death by the flames of three giant dragons, including the King of the Reach and all his descendants.

After this battle, the people of Westeros finally admitted that the dragon is invincible, and the seven kingdoms finally surrendered one by one under the command of the Iron Throne.

But unfortunately, just over a hundred years later, the giant dragon became extinct.

The Targaryen family, which lost the dragon, was also kicked off the Iron Throne in the War of the Reavers.

These keels, which were supposed to be placed in the throne room, were also left in this corner by the new king Robert.

Samwell withdrew his thoughts, looked at the keel in front of him, and the desire in his heart resurfaced again.

As a person who aspires to become a "master of gourmet food in another world", how can he not taste the taste of a giant dragon?

So he came to one of the teeth of Balerion's skull, the greatsword raised high in his hand.

"Lord Caesar, what are you doing?" Arya asked.

"Take a souvenir and go." Samwell laughed, and swung the long sword in his hand!

clang!

Sparks are flying.

However, there was only a small gap on the dragon's teeth, and the huge shock force made Samwell grin his teeth.

The bones of the dragon are so hard!

He can no longer swing the second sword.

It seemed that Bellerion's bones could not be taken for the time being, so Samwell had no choice but to go to the smallest piece of skull, which was about the size of an ordinary hound, and took it away in its entirety.

Although this dragon is deformed and short-lived, it is still a dragon anyway, so it should have the same effect.

Go back and make some bone soup to drink.

"Let's go, Arya, do you remember the road ahead?"

Arya shook her head hesitantly: "There is still a long way ahead... I am afraid I will get lost. I followed two people before..."

"Two people?" Samwell's heart moved.

"Yes, a fat man, and a man from the other side of the narrow sea, they were talking about Littlefinger, the Red Viper, the King's Bastard, oh, and your and my father's names were mentioned, and they were talking about magicians, jugglers, and so on. Weird words."

Samwell was speechless for a while.

The little girl didn't understand what she heard, so she narrated it in a mess. However, he had already guessed who those two people were.

Moreover, this also reminded him of a plot in the original book and a problem that he had ignored...

"Then do you remember where the last exit of the secret passage leads to?"

"Yes." Arya nodded heavily this time, "Leading to Blackwater Bay, there is a cliff when you come out, and you can see Port King's Landing."

"Okay." Samwell looked at the darkness ahead, his eyes flickering, "Let's go, let's go back the same way, next time I have a chance, I will take you to explore again."

"good!"
