The Twin Rivers are the home of the Frey family in Riverland, but it's not limited to one, it's two.

Two castles at the ends of a wide stone bridge.

The people of the Fu Lei family live in these two castles on a daily basis, and the old Wade, who is the head of the family. The Marquis of Frey would occasionally come and go here and there—and while many of the nobles might have more than one castle under their command, the two castles that were so close were the only ones in Westeros.

The main reason for this construction was to facilitate the collection of bridge tolls by the Freys, and to facilitate defense.

Compared to the general history of the Lord of Westeros for more than a thousand years, the "age" of the Frey family is very young, only six hundred years old, and even the history of their vassals is longer than theirs.

However, although they are "not very old", the power and strength of the Frey family far surpass the ordinary nobles of the river, and even rank among the top nobles in the riverland.

There are many reasons for this, but the root cause is the bridge under the castle and the tolls.

The Twin Rivers City is located on a huge river called the Green Fork River, and the Green Fork River is a large road that separates the north from the river to the west river, and the city is the only river crossing point within a few hundred miles of the vicinity.

In other words, the bridge under the castle is the foundation of the Frey's survival, and it is also the foundation of their growth. But today, on a relatively sunny winter day, their foundations have been hit in a dangerous way!

Under the shroud of sunlight, a monstrous wave visible to the naked eye suddenly emerged from the end of the castle's vision, and rushed towards the twin river city, faintly roaring like a waterfall hitting a pebble, and like the vast river that had been blocked by the dam for a long time and now finally met the opening of the gate, rushing to the ground!

Some of the soldiers who were supposed to be patrolling the castle walls were the first to notice this, followed by a group of people in the castle towers, and finally the news spread quickly to the inside and outside of the two castles—

At first, people didn't believe it, because it was unimaginable.

But after seeing it with their own eyes, they had to believe it.

And so the screams and anxious screams of panic pervaded the two castles—the chopping of vegetables, the drinking, the cheating with the great-grandmother, the lineage, the sideline, the children, the grandchildren, the servants, the cooks, the soldiers, the stablemen......

No matter what they are, no matter what they are doing, they are all affected by this sudden situation at this moment, and they are all panicking and fleeing towards the world outside the castle, completely ignoring anything else.

Thanks to the custom of collecting tolls in the Twin Rivers, the gates of the two castles are not closed, so many people have managed to escape, but not all.

So when the huge waves at the end of the river crashed in, the group of people who did not escape seemed to be able to faintly feel a shaking of the ground under their feet, and then they were directly poured into soup chickens under a large amount of cold water falling from the sky.

"Are you alright?"

The old marquis, who was carrying him on a chair and running towards the castle, was lucky, and he happened to arrive at the doorway of the castle when the flood came, so he avoided the fate of the chicken, but he saw the children and grandchildren who followed him one by one embarrassed, dripping with water and a frightened face, which made his originally flustered mood suddenly dissipate, and turned into anger.

"With such a little wind and waves, all of you can't sit still? If I'm really dead, then this Frey—"

"Run, run, again!"

A frightened scream interrupted his reprimand, and in an instant, many people who had been relieved became panicked again, and even the originally angry old marquis had no heart to educate the younger generations at the moment, and hurriedly motioned to his sons to carry him out of this dangerous "family fort" with an anxious face.

Under the sun, the huge wave visible to the naked eye once again rushed towards the stone bridge and the two castles on the edge of the stone bridge, and the exits at both ends of the castle continued to rush out one after another.

Then they gathered on both sides of the bridge, watching in amazement as their castle, which was originally very safe, was constantly hit by the river again and again, as the waves continued to stir like a giant's slap, and watched as the fish in the water slapped against the castle walls, bridge decks and towers with the impact, and then fell to the ground and fluttered......

Looking at all this, everyone in the Frey family who escaped had a different reaction at the moment. The adults were frightened and dazed, some knelt in prayer and some spun in motion, some of the children were crying loudly in the arms of the wet nurse, some were looking at everything in amazement, and one boy even cried out for joy because of a fish thrown at his feet, only to be beaten to the point of crying for his father.

"What's going on over there?"

In the distance, a farmer who was gleaning ears of wheat in a field saw what was happening in the direction of Twin Rivers and fell into a stupe, while several of the others around him fell to their knees in fright and shouted for the gods.

A few dusty traders on the dirt path outside the fields also saw all this, some stunned, others straddling their horses and gloating at it.

"Could it be that the gods in the sky have finally opened their eyes and decided to punish our Lord Frey?"

There was no response, and the situation was destined to become a mystery.

……

There was a lot of noise outside, but no one paid attention to everything in the Sanctuary in Twin Cities.

The situation happened suddenly, and people only cared about running away, but forgot about one of the original distinguished guests. And when they remembered, they no longer dared to enter the castle that was faintly shaking with the collision of the river.

At this time, Lan Li was still chanting at the blue flame on his finger, and every time he chanted, the flame in his hand would shake violently, and an invisible fluctuation would also spread once.

If anyone sees all this, then they will find that the frequency of the agitation of the river outside has a lot to do with the number of times the flame shakes.

However, at this time, not to mention that some people found out, even the person concerned did not pay attention to this, or rather, with the continuous spread of invisible fluctuations, his whole person seemed to be affected by continuous impact, his thoughts became a little trance, and the things and emotions in his heart quietly evoked some memories that had been forgotten for a long time in his mind.

"Sir Ranley? Thank you for saving me. ”

"They say that your lords of the Dorn, and even the lord's wife, openly keep mistresses and mistresses? Most still like the same sex? Is that so? ”

……

"Can you imagine what it's like to be slapped in the face by water?"

……

"Come on, we're going to start over. I won't get sick, but you won't-"

……

"We're getting out of here, aren't you happy?"

"When I get back to King's Landing, I can show you a hill that bears my name, and I'm going to build a large garden there."

"It's stinky now, but it's going to get better in the future - what, don't you believe it?"

"Are you scared?"

……

"Long time no see."

"I've gotten used to it for so many years."

"You said when you were in the Desert of Dorne that your name was Lan Li, and that name is rare."

……

"Don't worry, it's been more than forty years, and what should have been put down has already been released."

……

"I hate you, Lan Li."

……

"I hate you......"

……

There were all kinds of noisy noises coming from behind him, and finally there was even a sudden knock on the door, which made Lan Li's trance regroup, but after looking at the silent woman in front of him, he didn't pay attention to it.

Losing the freshness and immaturity of a child, the sound of prayer has become hoarse and faint at some point, but gradually it seems to become the only sound in this sanctuary.

As time passed, the faces of the gods, which flickered in prayer, grew brighter and brighter, until a certain moment came, and the accumulated brightness seemed to pierce a layer of window paper, and the dim sanctuary was suddenly enveloped in a dazzling golden light!
