The bridge of Valantis is magnificent and wide, and it is the king of bridges.

The Man-Made Miracle is one of two books by the famous traveler "Long Legs" Lomas. Man-made Miracles chronicles nine man-made wonders in the known world, while another book chronicles seven natural wonders.

On the other side of the Narrow Sea, on the continent of Westeros, the nine wonders listed in the Book of Man-Made Wonders are: the Great Wall of Desperation in the North, the Tower of Heaven in Old Town, and Harrenhal in the Riverlands.

On the continent of Essos, the Varylian Avenue from Pantos to the east is one of the Nine Known Wonders, and the Long Bridge of Valantis is listed in the book "Man-made Miracles";

The remaining four wonders are the triple walls of the eastern megacity of Quels, the Titans of Braavos, who had their feet on two islands far apart, the Palace of a Thousand Chambers in Shanas, and the three bells of Norfos, the free trade city of Quentin Martell's mother.

The Vasse Valyria is known to be the longest and straightest road in the world and of the best quality, and the long bridge of Valantis is the king of bridges. The width of the deck and the length of the bridge are incomparable to other known bridges.

The Lorne River at the mouth of the sea is turbulent, and a long bridge connects the eastern and western towns of Valantis. The span of the bridge is extremely long and is supported by huge piers.

The entrances at either end of the bridge are arches made of black boulders carved with sphinxes, sphinxes, dragons, and other monsters. Will and Arya walked for a while before they reached the middle of the bridge, and saw rows and rows of spears stuck on both sides of the bridge, and human hands and heads stuck in rows and rows of spears.

The hand is the hand of a thief.

Valantis' punishment for thieves was to cut off his hands and stick them into his spear in the middle of the bridge.

Arya noticed that there were still dense ropes hanging from the railings of the bridge, and she approached the railings of the bridge, and looked down at the ropes, and she saw a corpse hanging from each of the ropes that hung down from the bridge.

Too many corpses swayed gently in the wind: men and women, old and young. Most of these people's clothes were tattered, and at a glance they knew that they were slaves.

The ground is a blood-soaked slate of black brown. Arya walked on the stone slabs, feeling uncomfortable sticky soles of her shoes. It was a resurgence of blood after it had dried up.

The surface layer of the slate floor is no longer a slate, but a plasma layer formed after the blood coagulates.

The Hand of the Flame and Will scurried in front of them, their shoes clucking against the sticky layers of plasma. Arya didn't know what was going on in Will's mind, she only felt a chill in Houben. She looked under the bridge slightly, and all she saw was a dense pile of shaking corpses.

Countless corpses hung under the bridge, and on the bridge deck, rows of spears were filled with severed hands and heads. Arya felt breathless, and the air was filled with a rotten fishy smell that made her stomach very uncomfortable. She held back her breath and didn't dare to vomit. She is a red-robed monk who has lived here for a long time, and she may not be used to smelling this smell.

The long bridge is famous, and the middle section of the bridge is where the Valantis nobles executed their prisoners, and those who were usually hanged or beheaded in the middle of the bridge were mostly slaves.

Arya didn't know how she had walked across the middle of the bridge, she admired the hand of the flame who led the way, she didn't feel the slightest discomfort, and her walking speed and breathing were no different from in the Red Temple.

In order to cross this long bridge, Arya's back was wet with sweat and her underwear, and her little face was purple. Will didn't look back, because there were soldiers standing straight watching them all over the long bridge.

The Red Temple's Hand of Flame and the good monk's robes on them are the Long Bridge Passes. The two ends of the long bridge are crowded with people, and no one has been given the right to cross the bridge so far.

Finally reaching the bridge, Arya turned her head slightly, she heard the sound of horses' hooves behind her, and also heard the sound of dragons in the sky.

Behind him, on the opposite side of the bridge, about eight war horses side by side opened the way, and the cavalry held high various large flags, and the large flag in the center was a war elephant flag. After that, Rulin's swords and guns were raised, and the platoon of cavalry walked up to the long bridge, and the sound of horses' hooves converged into a torrent, which gradually overwhelmed the sound of the river rushing under the bridge.

"What a show!" Arya sighed inwardly.

The sound of horses' hooves at least a thousand horsemen can counter the sound of the surging river at the mouth of the sea, and the sound of running water as more and more cavalry walk up the bridge.

Arya turned around and slowed down, the Hand of the Holy Fire and Will had already disembarked from the bridge.

Arya hurriedly bowed her head and hurried, and the elephant soldiers guarding the bridge were very respectful to the red-robed monk, and hurriedly gave way and looked at them piously.

The three of them walked into the crowd that was blocked on the outside of the bridge, and wherever the Hand of the Flame went, people gave way, and many of the freemen and slaves prayed with their hands together, and they regarded the Hand of the Flame and the two red-robed monks as the embodiment of faith.

The Red God Faith is unrivaled in Valantis!

Compared to the East Side and the West City, it is like a garbage dump. Low houses, toppled walls, swords slashed at the ground, black roofs burned by fire, garbage heaps around the corner of the streets, countless flies buzzing with incense. The people who came and went were plainly dressed, and there were many people in tattered clothes, and they were all slaves.

Occasionally, one could see some of the better stone houses and tall stone towers in the streets, and Arya estimated that those places were either hotels or vendors' residences. The eastern city was sacked by the Dothraki, but there was no need for them to sack it, the eastern city itself was a place where the poor lived, there was no wealth, and the rich and noble lived in the western city.

After walking for a while, there appeared patrol soldiers dressed in tattered leather, and these men were also armed with a variety of weapons, including long swords, axes, chains, and copper hammers, harpoons, wood knives, sticks, and spears.

The patrol soldiers saw that all three of Will's party were avoiding the side of the road, and many of them uttered prayerful honorifics. After Will and the three of them had passed, the soldiers continued to patrol the road.

Arya found that the warriors trusted the Red Temple's Hand of Fire and the Red-robed Monk very much, and they judged the authenticity by their clothes, without the slightest suspicion that the three men were impersonators.

The Red God Faith has reached an incredible level here.

This shows that the prestige of Archpriest Bennero in the Red Temple by the Lorne River is far higher than that of the Elephant Consuls. The warriors of both sides equally respected and trusted the Hand of the Sacred Flame.

Arya looked far away, front and back, left and right, dense layers, all of which were low and dilapidated stone houses, and thatched houses, most of which were being rebuilt, and there were traces of flames in the original places.

Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves in front of him led a group of cavalry, led by three empty horses. Arya saw that the cavalrymen were all dressed in breeches, and none of them were wearing armor. They had scimitars at their waists, bows and arrows on their backs, and their appearance was slightly different from that of the Valantis, with a rugged and wild air on their faces.

The cavalry of the Dothraki ?!

The Hand of the Flame whispered a few words to the cavalry leader, and then mounted his horse, followed by Will and Arya. Arya later learns that they are greeted by Daenerys Targaryen's Cassmen.
