The great city east of Essos: Quells.

The Temple of a Thousand Seats.

A large wooden chair that makes the adults sitting on it look small.

And such chairs are arranged in a long arc, stepping upwards to the highest dome.

In the middle of the dome is a huge chair that doesn't look cramped even when the giant sits on it.

Standing in the middle of the main hall, looking at the rows of curved wooden chairs that rise in a staircase, the king sitting at the top looks as small as a child.

The king sat on a high wooden chair inlaid with priceless jade such as night pearls, jade, pearls, gold, amber, rubies, etc.

There were thousands of equally large chairs in this hall, each of which was extremely decorated, each one different, like a human face.

There are tens of thousands of people in the world, and each one has a different face, a different fingerprint, and a different personality.

The same goes for the more than a thousand chairs in the Hall of a Thousand Seats.

Every chair, taken to the outside world, is enough to make a commoner a nobleman and a great rich.

The Hall of a Thousand is the main hall of the King's Palace, similar to the 'Hall of the Thrones' of King Magic Mountain in Westeros.

The 'Throne Hall' of the Magic Mountain is as crude as a small farmhouse compared to the Thousand Temples here.

The Iron Throne in the throne hall only has seven steps, and in this thousand halls, there are no seven steps.

There is only one Iron Throne in the throne hall, and here, there are more than a thousand huge chairs. Each chair is no smaller than the Iron Throne.

These more than a thousand chairs enclose a huge and empty hall that can easily accommodate hundreds of people.

The courtiers and generals in the throne hall of the Magic Mountain can only stand on both sides of the hall to discuss matters, and a passage for people to pass in the middle can only be used by seven people side by side.

On the first day of the first month of the year 302 of Aegon, on his throne in the Hall of a Thousand Thrones, the king wore a golden robe and a golden crown embroidered with colorful motifs of griffons, dragons, and manticores.

On either side of the king, there were dozens of royal families, all wearing brocade robes and hats. The sleeves and hats of the robe are all extremely colorful.

A tortoise crawled in through the gate of the Hall of a Thousand Seats, and its black shell looked as if it was swaying in the water. Without paying attention, the turtle had already climbed several steps.

It's so fast that people have never heard of it. When you are amazed, the turtle is gone, and you suspect that you have just seen an apparition. But in the next heartbeat, the turtle reappeared, but it was already farther away.

This is the 'Phantom Turtle' fed by the wizards of the Temple of Immortality.

In Westeros, messages are passed between nobles, legions, kings and vassals through the Raven.

In Quells, messages were transmitted between wizards, the Thirteen, the wealthy merchants, and the royal family through the 'Phantom Tortoise'.

Phantom Turtle, the 'Magic Turtle' fed by the Wizards of Quells.

Several figures entered the door of the Hall of a Thousand Seats, dressed in linen robes, bald heads, and hooked noses. The eyes are deep, and the lips are inky blue.

These are the four male wizards from the Temple of Immortality, and each of them is the supreme wizard of the Temple of Immortality, 'Immortal'.

The witches' lips are inky blue because they have been drinking a 'water of night' for many years. The 'Water of Night Shadow' is full of complex and dangerous herbs, and after the world loses its magical powers, wizards drink the 'Water of Night Shadow' to restore their mana.

Four wizards, four immortals.

The Phantom Turtle climbed at the King's feet, and the King reached out and removed a letter with a blue cover from the back of the Phantom Turtle. And at this time, four wizards—four immortals—walked through the open space in the middle of the hall and walked up the first steps.

Another black shadow floated into the Hall of a Thousand Seats, and the man was very petite, looking like a woman, with a black scarf covering her face, revealing only her bright black eyes.

The figure was dressed in black and cloaked, and a small manticore-tailed beast was embroidered on its chest.

From top to bottom, there is only one pattern on the body of this petite and delicate black shadow.

Black shadows floated in like the wind, mysterious and weird.

She quickly walked through the open space in the middle of the hall and stepped up the first steps.

Then, at the entrance of the Hall of a Thousand Seats, a burly black man walked in, dressed in a gorgeous brocade robe with a kind smile on his face. He walked through the door, and behind him appeared twelve brocade-clad men who were tall, short, short, fat, and skinny, the most famous of the Thirteen Giants of Quells.

It is said that the real power of the city of Quells was not in the hands of the royal family and the king, but in the hands of the Thirteen Giants.

But rumors are rumors.

Quells City prides itself on being the center of the world, a huge gateway for the exchange of goods between the Eastern and Western worlds, and the economy here is dominated by trade, in addition to the Thirteen Giants, in fact, there are also tourmaline brotherhoods and spice guilds.

The Tourmaline Brotherhood is similar to the mercenary legions on the continents of Westeros and Essos, who have eight hundred warships. It is important to know that in the time of Robert Baratheon I of Westeros, the royal family only had thirty warships, and the most powerful navy on Qingting Island had only a maximum of 400 warships.

The Tourmaline Brotherhood fought for any of Quells' forces, they fought for the Crown, for the Thirteen, for the Spice Guild and for those further east.

Whoever gives the most money, the Tourmaline Brotherhood fights for.

Immediately following the Thirteen Giants into the Hall of a Thousand Seats were none other than the commander-in-chief and deputy commander of the Tourmaline Brotherhood, as well as the three most warlike generals under their banner.

The Spice Ancient Guild had more ships than the Tourmaline Brotherhood, more than 1,300, but most of their ships were merchant ships. It was only in wartime that merchant ships were converted into warships.

The merchant ships of the Thirty Giants are comparable to those of the Spice Ancient Guild, and they are also about 1,300. Their ships are also warships in wartime and merchant ships in peacetime.

Of course, the power of the royal family is not bad, and having thousands of merchant ships and hundreds of warships is the profound heritage of the royal family.

Westeros' Magic Mountain unified the entire continent, gathering the Iron Islands, the West, the Riverlands, the Redwin family on Qingting Island, Oldtown, Dorne, Seagull Town, White Harbor in the North, royal warships, and ships that had been built for months, and then all the warships added up to only 2,000 ships.

The giant city of Quells is controlled by the royal power, the Thirteen Giants, the Tourmaline Brotherhood, and the Spice Ancient Guild. One of the most mysterious forces to be reckoned with is the wizards of the 'Temple of Immortality', beneath which countless bones and lies are buried.

In addition, there is another force that makes everyone fear and kills: the regretful guest.

The Regret is similar to the 'Facelings' organization in Braavos, the westernmost part of the continent. The mysterious and strange shadow of a woman dressed in black, small and delicate, looking like a woman, was none other than the Supreme Elder of the Regretful Guest: Elder Scorpiontail!
