Chapter Eighty-Six: Departure

Although Prince Martell is secretive, he once wanted to raise troops to support Lega's son more than ten years ago, and this matter is known to many people. Although Prison Gate Fort is not the first-class prince of Dorne, it also has a long history, and it is normal to be able to stop some secrets of Yang Halberd City.

Chen Cheng grabbed a piece of masonry 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, it was nothing more than a struggle for power. Perhaps for the people of this world, Targaryen and Baratheon are prestigious surnames, but in his opinion, they are nothing more than that.

Looking up at the sky, the stars here are completely different from those on Earth, and you can neither see the Big Dipper nor the Southern Dipper. Living here at Fort Prison for a while feels like the Middle East in the Middle Ages on Earth. Only this sky full of stars reminded him all the time that this was already another world.

After a long time, the conspiracy in the room was finally over, and Nemelia and Ulric dispersed. It turned out that this was not Someria's dormitory, but the residence of Haman Ulle, Count of Fort Hellgate.

Nemelia returned to her bedroom and was about to reach for the wine on the table, when she suddenly noticed that the shadows on the floor had changed to two. Startled, she quietly grabbed the hilt of her sword, turned and stabbed backwards. "Snort", the sword momentum was fast and urgent, but there was no gain.

Just because, Chen Cheng stretched out two fingers and clamped the blade of the sword. With a look of confusion, joy, surprise, and shock on her face, Nymeria withdrew her sword and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" The city gates have been sealed, could it be.......... Did you finally figure it out? ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "No, I'm here to say goodbye to you." ”

"Farewell? Aren't you going to say two months in Fort Hellgate? It's not time yet! ”

"There was an accident, and today I killed two people who are said to be from Yang Halberd City......"

Nemelia's face changed, and she hurriedly asked, "You killed them?" Where are the bodies? ”

"It's been dealt with," Chen Cheng said seemingly nonchalantly, "Before leaving, I'll send you a message for free." However, this news is only very likely, not necessarily true. ”

Namelia asked, "What's the news?" ”

"Stannis Baratheon will soon be raising troops from Dragonstone, he will kill Lanli, and then lead the fleet directly into Blackwater. However, his surprise attack ultimately failed, as the old lion Tywin Lannister led his troops to King's Landing at the last minute. ”

Stannis and Blue Lane are both the younger brothers of the dead "Lord of the Seven" Robert Baratheon, but Blue Lane is much more popular than Stannis, and has a lot more territory and army than Stannis. It stands to reason that it should be Blue Rite who defeated Stannis, but why did Stannis defeat Blue Rite?

Moreover, the things Chen Cheng said are still things that have not happened. The look of suspicion on Nymeria's face intensified, and she tossed the steel sword aside, walked to the edge of the table, and asked, "How did 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 what I said just now is not a prophecy, but I just knew some things in advance." ”

Nemeria pondered for a moment, then asked, "Then did you know something about us Dornes in advance?" ”

Chen Cheng thought about it for a while, and felt that this world didn't seem to be exactly based on the plot of the film and television version, whether it was film or television, he didn't take care of it, with the clues, he couldn't know what was going on, but there was one thing that impressed him.

"There's only one thing that has to do with Dorne. Again, it's just possible, and it's going to happen. ”

"What is it?"

"Oberon Maltai will die in King's Landing."

The aura on Nymeria's body suddenly became fierce, "Nonsense! Prince Oberon was a strong martial artist and a good at using poison, so how could he die in King's Landing? ”

Oberon Malte, the youngest brother of the current Prince of Dorne, Daura Malte, was found to be cheating with the mistress of Lord Ormond Ellenwood, and the Count duel him for this. Due to the age of the prince's origin, the duel agreed to stop at the sight of blood, and both were injured. A few days later, the Count of Ormond died of festering and suppurating wounds, and it was believed that Oberon had poisoned his sword, and from then on, both his opponents and friends called him the "Red Viper".

He traveled through the nine free trade city-states, where he learned a great deal about poison and possibly other dark tricks; He studied in the school, and before he got bored and dropped out, he had built a chain of six bachelor's necklaces; He served as a mercenary in a disputed place across the Narrow Sea, first serving in the Second Son's Regiment and later forming his own team. Rumor has it that he sleeps with both men and women, and that there are his illegitimate daughters throughout Dorne, who are known as "Sand Snakes".

When Oberon was young, his mother, the ruler of Dorne, wanted him and Elia to marry the twin daughters of Duke Tywin, and for this reason they visited Castle Rock together, where they met Cersei, Jaime, and Tyrion. However, the timing of their visit was not quite right, as Lady Joanna Lannister had just died, and Duke Tywin rudely rejected the offer, offering the newborn Tyrion to marry Elia instead of Jaime, a suggestion that Oberon's mother saw as a humiliation.

Oberon was very close to his sister Elia Martell, and after the fall of King's Landing, he tried to get Dorne to support Prince Viserys when he heard that his sister had been raped and murdered by the Lannister's knight, Gregor Clegane, as well as her children. This attempt failed as a matter of course, and the young Robert Baratheon, possessing unparalleled divine powers, easily put down rebellions everywhere.

Although the conspiracy failed, his thirst for revenge has not subsided for a day since then.

He and his brother Dorant have been plotting for years to overthrow Robert Baratheon's dynasty and destroy the Lannisters once and for all. Oberon travels to Braavos, where he meets with Sir William Daery, who rescued and protected Viserys and Daenerys, and signs a secret contract with Braavos in the presence of the Sea King of Braavos - when Viserys returns to fight for the Iron Throne, Dorne will raise troops for him, and he will marry Dorne's princess, Arryne Martell, as queen.

This plan also failed, and poor Prince Viserys was killed in the Sea of Dothrak on the continent of Essos when the enraged "Horse King" Drogon poured the melted gold on his head. Later, the "Horse King" Drogen, who also died due to the witch's curse, leaving only the last Targaryen, the "Stormborn" Daenerys Targaryen, to survive alone on the road across the Narrow Sea.

Oberyn Maltej was already a legend in Dorne, having only lost to Rhaegar Targaryen and Barristan Selmy in his lifetime, and Nellia naturally could not believe that Prince Oberon, the legendary warrior of Dorne, would die in King's Landing.

Chen Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Believe it or not, I also said it, this is just a possibility, and it may not become a reality." Okay, I've said everything I need to say, so I'll see you soon. ”

"Wait," Nymeria said hurriedly, "Since we want to separate, why don't we have a drink first?" ”

She held up a glass of wine and handed it over. Chen Cheng took the wine glass in his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Then this glass of wine is your request!" ”

With that, he drank the wine down. After drinking, he also smashed his mouth, as if he was still unsatisfied. Seeing that he drank the wine so happily, Nemelia's face changed color slightly, but it quickly returned to normal, "It's getting late now, why don't you spend the night with me and leave tomorrow?" ”

Chen Cheng smiled and said; "You just asked me to drink that cup of poisonous wine, and I have already used up the requirements, so you can't be too greedy."

"What? You ......", Nellia was shocked, took two steps back, and grabbed the sword in her hand, "Why do you drink it when you know that wine is poisonous?" ”

"It's a deadly poison for you, but not necessarily for me."

Chen Cheng turned around and jumped out of the window, jumped up, and his body flew into the air as if he had no weight. Namelia grabbed the long sword and ran to the window, looked up, and saw that Chen Cheng had risen to a height of dozens of meters in the air, and then spread a pair of wings and flew into the distance in the moonlight.

Her eyes widened and she cried out in horror, "And you say you're not a wizard? ”

Somelia shouted in shock, and it was heard far away in the night. After a while, Ulric appeared outside the door with his weapon in his hand, and he strode in, "Nymeria, what's wrong?" ”

Nemeria stretched out her hand to the moon, and Ulric looked in the direction of her hand, but saw that the moon was shining brightly, and there were thin clouds in the sky, and there was nothing else.

Chen Cheng jumped into the air, took out the glider, and flew towards the north. The moon was above him, as if he could reach it at the touch of his hand. Fort Gates has become much smaller in view, and when you look down, you can see a little campfire. The faint sound of singing and laughter adds a soothing atmosphere to this quiet and beautiful world.

He flew north with his gliding wing, and in a few moments, he left Fort Far behind him.

【Daenerys】

In the moonlight, Daenerys fell asleep, dreaming of the two running side by side on the night of her wedding to Drogo. But in the dream, instead of horses, they rode dragons.

Early the next morning, she summoned three Blood Alliance Guards. "The blood of my blood," she said to them, "I need your help." Pick three horses from each of you, the strongest and healthiest of them, and carry as much water as you can, and go out into the city to investigate. Argo faces southwest, Lacarlo goes due south, and Jogo continues southeast with Sirac Quia. ”

Jogo asked, "Kalixi, what do you want us to find?" ”

"Anything," Dani replied, "to find other cities, living or dead." Look for caravans and people, rivers, lakes and saltwater oceans. Find out where the wasteland ends, and what lies beyond them. When I set out again, I will never go blindly again, I must not only know where I want to go, but also know the shortcut to get there. ”

So they were commanded to leave, and the hairbell rang softly. Dany and her small group of followers settled in what they called "Vis Tororo", which means "City of Dry Bones". Day and night alternated, the women harvested the fruit in the garden of the dead, while the men fed the horses and mended the bridles, stirrups and hooves. Children roam the winding lanes and unearth ancient bronze coins and purple glass flakes, as well as stone bottles with snake-like handles. A woman was bitten by a red scorpion, but no one but her died. The horses grew stronger, and Sir Jorah's wounds healed under Dany's personal care.

LaCarlo returned first. According to his report, the Red Heath stretches southward, ending in a barren cliff bank on the shores of the Poisoned Waters. The only thing between the poisonous water and this place is billowing red sand, wind-eroded rocks, and spiky plants. He swore that he had walked past the remains of a dragon, the black mouth large enough for him to ride through. Other than that, nothing was found.

Dany then gave him twelve strong men and ordered them to dig through the ground of the square and dig out the dirt underneath. Since the Demon Grass can survive between the cracks of the stone slabs, it is possible that other plants can grow here after removing the stones. They found many wells, so that water was not scarce, and by planting seeds, the square would be renewed.

The second to come back was Argo. He swore that the southwest region was a desert under scorching sun. He found the remains of two cities, not much different from Vis Tororo except for their smaller size. One of the cities was surrounded by rusty iron spears with skeletons hanging from the tips, so he didn't dare venture in, but he carefully explored the other dead city. He showed Dany an iron bracelet he had found inside, embedded with a fiery red opal as large as a thumb, unpolished. He also found some scrolls, but most of them were dry and fragile, so Argo didn't bring them back.

Dani thanked him and sent him to fix the gates. Since there were natural enemies in ancient times who could cross the desert and destroy these cities, they could come again. "If the enemy comes, we must be prepared." She announced.

Jogo has not returned, and Dani worries about his whereabouts day by day. While the crowd was in despair, he rode back from the southeast. The guards sent by Ago to defend the city were the first to see him and immediately shouted. Dani immediately went to the city herself. It's true, Jogo is back, but he's not alone. Three strangers in fancy clothes followed him, riding hunchback ugly creatures taller than any horse.

They stopped at the gates and looked up at Dany in the city. "The blood of my blood!" "I've gone to the great city of Quells, and these three men have come back with me, and they want to see you for themselves." ”

Dani looked at the stranger beneath the city gate, "I'm right here, and I'm going to see it...... But please report your name first. ”

The white-skinned and blue-lipped man said in a rough Dothraki language, "I am the great witch Haiya Boli." ”

The bald man with a jewel on his nose said in the Valyrian dialect of the free city-state: "The name is Zaro Zanwang Dassus, and he is the thirteenth of the Giants of Quels." ”

The woman in the wood-lacquered mask said in the Mandarin of the Seven Kingdoms: "I am the Kui of the Shadow Lands, and we are running for the dragon." ”

"Far away," Daenerys Targaryen said to them, "at hand." ”

That's why Daenerys is in Quells.
