Chapter 0403 Red Smoke (Ask for Subscription, All Kinds of Requests)
Jerry Maiah Warner, an old man in black, with a long beard, white hair, and brown eyes.
As soon as he entered, he saw that Comwarner had sat up, his face recovering his blood, and he was holding the family's treasure, King Warner, in his hands.
Jeremiah was surprised and delighted, unable to believe his eyes. He was stunned for a moment, then calmed himself down and regained his senses: it was a miracle that Kom seemed to be cured!
At the same time, he was very confused because of the Warner King in Combe's hands.
He saw that there was a large group of outsiders here, and perhaps among these uninvited guests were people who knew the language of the peninsula, and he felt that it was inconvenient for him to ask in detail. However, Combe took the initiative to answer his doubts, using the lingua franca: "Elder Jeremiah, it was Lady Jenny who cured my illness. ”
Jeremiah was shocked, though he tried to be more composed.
He looked at Jenny, at the Elder, who nodded at him slightly, affirming Combe's words.
Jeremiah is incredible!
The elders have seen this disease of Kom, but they have not found any good solution. The whole clan was helpless, and could only watch Kom's condition worsen day by day, but they didn't expect to be cured by a foreign noble lady, and in such a short time, Kom went from being unable to move to being able to sit up, from not being able to speak to being able to speak fluently and clearly......
Last night, there was a serious conflict between these outsiders and the Shizhai people. The villagers in the stockade suffered many casualties. What are these outsiders trying to do here? They killed last night, but they saved Kom......
Jeremiah suppressed the many doubts in his heart and solved the most important question first.
"Kom, are you the new patriarch appointed by the Elders by the Decree of King Warner?!" Jerry Meyer Warner said, with deep doubt in his tone. He saw King Treasure Warner in the hands of Kom, a sign that the patriarch had been bestowed by the elders.
"Elder Jerry Maia Warner, with Elder Thorndike's consent, you are now an elder of the Warner family. "Comm lifted the Warner King," Elder Thorndike, in the name of the Warner King, has recognized me as the Patriarch of the Warner family. I now declare that the custody of King Warner shall henceforth no longer be kept in the temple by the elders, but by the patriarch himself. ”
"Why?" said Jeremiah in a deep voice. He looked at Elder Thorndike, whose face was as dead as ashes, and looked at the group of Demon Mountain with hostile eyes. Something to do with these uninvited guests?!
"King Clan, Treasure Warner, was handed over to the elders to be enshrined in the temple when my father left the stone village. ”
"King Warner has been under the control of the elders since that day, and has used this as a letter to appoint a new patriarch, and the rules have been established before the blood god and cannot be changed at will. ”
"If the elders are virtuous, the patriarch has the right to take it back. ”
"What did the elder do wrong?"
"Ask Elder Thorndike yourself. ”
ComWarner is very young, eleven years old, but he has the demeanor of a patriarch, with a slender figure, well-defined facial features, and a heroic spirit of his own. Speak appropriately and respond with ease. Magic Mountain, Jenny and others were secretly surprised. This reminds the Magic Mountain of a little girl who is also sharp and intelligent and daring: Lyanna Mormont, the youngest child of the Mormont family. When she emerged in the original trajectory of the world, she was only ten years old.
Jeremiah looked at Thorndike.
The people in this stone village all have only one surname: Warner.
“...... Elder Jeremiah ...... Stein Beck Warner, the first warrior of the Horde, wants to become the patriarch...... He used the Teng snake venom on Kom...... At that time, I was blinded by dark clouds and the bright moon of my soul, and the beach of my soul was flooded by the tide......"
Thorndike stared at the Demon Mountain and the others: "Elder, did outsiders force you to say this?"
"No...... What I'm saying is true...... Oath in the name of King Warner and the Blood God......"
"But you personally checked Kom's illness, and you said that it has nothing to do with the snake venom. ”
"I ...... Paired with Steinbeck...... He was the first warrior of the tribe, and he always dreamed of being the patriarch...... Before I checked on the matter of Kom's condition...... I lied to all my people. Steinbeck was going to kill Com, but I received a message from King's Landing that a large number of supplies would be sent to appease the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula who had died in battle, and we wanted to get this amount of supplies, so we decided to save Com's life first, and then poison Com when we got the supplies from King's Landing. ”
Thorndike suffocated!
"You are a disgrace to the Warners, Elder Thorndike. Jeremiah chirped, "You will be punished in the temple." ”
Thorndike trembled all over: "No, in the name of the Blood God, Patriarch Kom has pardoned my ancestral punishment. ”
"I did promise Elder Thorndike not to allow his people to torture him. Comm's complexion became better and better, and he spoke fluently: "But when I was poisoned, I had already sworn to the blood god that I would punish the murderer and those who assisted the murderer to ancestral punishment, and take back the clan Treasure Warner King, and in the future, they will all be kept by the patriarch, hereditary inheritance, and will not be handed over to the temple elders." ”
Elder Thorndike was dumbfounded: Comwarner had sworn to the Blood Gods to divide them by ancestral punishment, but why did Combe accede to his request at that time?
He was choked by the oath played by eleven-year-old Combe.
Mo Shan and the others were secretly amazed, this Ke M's cleverness and ingenuity were beyond his age! Whoever would be an enemy of such a kid in the future would not think that he would die quickly? Demon Mountain felt that this kid had been scheming since he was eleven years old, and if it was good, it was good, but if it was evil, he had the temperament of Coben and Little Finger.
Jeremiah was silent, his face solemn. The Warner people revere the clan treasure, and whoever holds the Warner King has the highest authority in the family, and can even command the patriarch and elders.
"Jeremia, I command you, in the name of King Warner, to take down Elder Thorndike. and informed the whole people that they should be relieved of the act of war against the Duke of Gregor and his party, who had come to their official duties by order of the king, and that Madame Jeanne had saved my life. “
Jeremiah hesitated slightly, Comm sat up, and held up the Warner King to him: "Kneel, Jeremia, carry out the order immediately." ”
Jeremiah threw himself down on his knees, "Yes, Warner King." ”
Soon, the order was handed down, and Elder Thorndike was tied up by the angry villagers and taken to a black cell beneath the temple, awaiting the execution of the ancestral punishment. The villagers who were injured last night were carried into the building one after another to be treated by the new elders, Jeremiah and Janie.
An hour later, Elder Jeremiah was so impressed by Jenny's medical skills that he was eager to learn from her. The secret technique he wanted most in his heart was still the secret of Janie's treatment of Teng Snake Venom.
This is the venom of a poisonous snake that the Warner family has never solved.
In the afternoon, the whole village gathered together to listen to Jeremiah's account of the crimes of Steinbeck, the first warrior of the Warner tribe, the whole village, regardless of men, women and children, was extremely angry, everyone counted the bloody clash last night on Jeremiah and Thorndike's head, after a short meeting, everyone unanimously decided to go out and catch Steinbeck, bring him back, and put Thorndike together with the ancestral punishment: stoning.
After removing the snake venom, Kom's body recovered quickly and was able to walk, and he made a decision at the assembly, he said in the clan language: "Elder Jeremia, my clansmen, my uncle Steinbeck is the first warrior of the tribe, and the most elite cavalry of the tribe are all warriors who follow him, once the news of my recovery leaks, our tribe will cause a civil war, and Steinbeck will unite his allies to fight back to capture King Warner." “
Elder Jeremiah and the people looked at each other with a look of horror on their faces.
Steinbeck, the first warrior of the tribe, his cavalry, the best warriors of the tribe, and they are allies of several tribes. In the event of a rebellion, Steinbeck will bring disaster to the Warner Tribe.
The whole clan was worried in their hearts, and the only hundred or so spearmen could not be Steinbeck's opponent at all.
In the end, everyone's eyes fell on the Demon Mountain Legion who had been ordered by the king to distribute pacification materials. Nominally, all the tribes of the peninsula were vassals subject to King's Landing, and this was sworn awth, albeit to King Robert. In desperation, the Warner tribe had no choice but to implore the 'King's Army' to come and 'quell' the Warner Rebellion. This would be uncomfortable for the other tribes, but in the name of a vassal, it would be able to reluctantly prevaricate.
Kom stood up, his demeanor was majestic, his tone was sonorous, and his young eyes were sharp: "Ladies and gentlemen, during last night's conflict, the family members who jumped out of the wall have not received reinforcements so far, I think it must be related to the recent appearance of the Red Smoke Beast. “
The clansmen nodded frequently.
Moshan and the others couldn't understand the Warner language, but it didn't affect their appreciation of Comm's small demeanor of holding a meeting in the name of the patriarch.
"It seems that all the tribes are going all out to hunt down the Red Smoke Beast, and no one will care about the ugly things within our Warner tribe," Comm said. The Red Smoke Beast has appeared on the peninsula again for hundreds of years, and Steinbeck has led our tribe's cavalry to fight for it, and if he captures Red Smoke, he will probably be elected king of the Crab Claw Peninsula by the entire tribe of the island, which is unacceptable to us Warners. He has lost the honor of our Warner tribe and the Warner family name. ”
The child's gaze scanned the audience majestically: "I am now in the name of King Warner." He exalted King Warner, "In the name of the Blood God, I beg Duke Gregor Cregan and his legions to help us, along with our Warner Tribal warriors, capture Steinbeck the Master Killer and capture the Red Smoke Beast." ”
The people of the tribe looked at each other, and it was already very out of place to invite outsiders to participate in the intra-tribal war, but in the name of vassals, they could also argue in front of other tribes. However, inviting outsiders to capture the Red Smoke Beast will 100% provoke the hostility of the other tribes.
The people looked at Elder Jeremiah.
When there is something in the clan that everyone feels undecided, it is when the elders come out to explain and solve the doubts.
Jeremiah stood beside Com: "Ladies and gentlemen, one of our tribal oaths is that anyone will obey King Warner's orders and never change them from ancient times to the present day. ”
"Elder!" said an old man, "The Red Smoke Beast is the treasure of the peninsula, we ask outsiders to help fight for it, if the Red Smoke Beast is grabbed by us, it will be difficult to convince the public." ”
"Don't forget, we're all vassals of King's Landing. It's hard to convince the public, and it's better than being robbed by other tribes!"
This sentence is a master key that opens the closed hearts of the clansmen at once.
Rather than being taken by other tribes and then having the Warners kneel, it is certainly better than keeping the Red Smoke Beast in their own tribe.
Although the people of the Crab Claw Peninsula do not pay taxes and are de facto independent, nominally, any tribe is indeed a vassal of King Landing. The peninsula has also been one of the king's domains, and it has been more than three hundred years now, and anyone in the king's territory has the right to participate in the hunt for the Red Smoke Beast.
The tribe that obtains the Red Smoke Beast may not be able to claim the throne of the peninsula, but it is a major sign of the prosperity of the tribe.
In the history of the Crab Claw Peninsula, all the heroes who unified the peninsula were the first to get a wild Red Smoke Beast. This has formed a belief of the people of the peninsula: when the Red Smoke Beast appears, the people of any tribe will have the possibility of becoming the king of the peninsula if they get it.
The Magic Mountain and the others did not understand the Warner Clan's language, but they soon understood, and when Kom and the Elder reached an agreement with the clansmen, Kom and the Elder pleaded with the Lord of the Magic Mountain to lead an army to help the Warner Tribes quell the civil strife, capture Steinbell, and participate in the hunt for the Red Smoke Beast.
"What is Crimson?" Brienne was the first to ask, curious.
"Have you seen the clan treasure of Kom? The strange beast that is as red as blood is the Red Smoke Beast that the people of the Peninsula regard as a divine beast. Jenny smiled sweetly and her skin was radiant, "The Warner King back then first got a Red Smoke Beast, and then rode the Red Smoke Beast with a heavy axe, conquered the entire peninsula, and became the Warner King. ”
Comm, the Elder, and the clansmen all looked at Jane with astonishment, and told the noblemen outside about the glory of their clan, which made the whole clan very proud and proud. Demon Mountain and the others were also eye-opening, and it was the first time they heard that there were such strange beasts on the peninsula.
The beast is shaped like a horse, and its whole body is blood red, except for the horns on its head!
In fact, the Destiny Divine Beast in the eyes of the Peninsula people is not magical in the eyes of Janie, and the scientific name of the beast is unicorn. His ancestral home is in the northern territories, on the island of Scagras.
Located just off Seal Bay in the north, Skagus Island has a very harsh climate due to high winds and rough seas, reefs and reefs. The tribes of the island have been at war for a long time and have never submitted to any king. Robert called the queen, and with a wave of his hand, he assigned the island to Eddard Stark's jurisdiction, but the tribes on the island did not know about it. Eddard Stark didn't actually conquer the island, but only marked the island of Skaggs on the map of the North as part of the North.
Two thousand years ago, a tribe of the Skaggs migrated from the island of Skagus to the Crab Claw Peninsula, bringing with them a rare mythical beast from the island: the unicorn.
Unicorns, griffins, dragons, three of the world's most famous magical creatures. The first extinct was the griffin, which has been extinct for thousands of years, the second extinct was the unicorn, which has been extinct for hundreds of years, and the third extinct was the dragon, which has been extinct for more than 100 years.
The dragon is the king of the sky, the Targaryen is the dragon master, the griffon is the king of beasts that soars through the sky, with tigers, leopards and wolves as snacks, the current lord of the valley The Arryn family is the descendant of the vulture warriors, and the unicorn is the king of the land runners, with ferocity and tyranny, infinite strength, running like flying, and long endurance.
Jenny is here for the king of the unicorns that has only reappeared in hundreds of years: Red Smoke!
Dragons and unicorns, already extinct magical creatures, have appeared on both continents.
ps: I want to see the griffin also appear, if you are free, raise your hand to see. If you are interested, you can add a griffin line after about xx words.
