Chapter 0304: The Tragedy of the Midsummer Hall: Seven Dragon Eggs

(Happy New Year, New Year, I wish you all the best and a happy family)

Harrenhal to the noble heart, hundreds of miles away.

It's closer to Riverrun from the noble heart than to Harrenhal.

Noble Heart, the sacred mountain of the sons of the forest.

It is located in the south of the Red Fork River in the Hejian Land, which is a lonely mountain rising abruptly in the plains, and is a sacred place for the sons of the forest thousands of years ago. The mountain is high and straight, and at the top of the mountain is a ring of thirty-one huge wooden stumps of fish beams that have been cut down. The ring surrounds a flat clearing where the children of the forest once met to celebrate and pray.

Along the way, you will see destroyed crop fields, burned villages, and many places with traces of fighting. Eddard Stark left behind a team to burn the villagers and soldiers on both sides along the road.

In the team, the most frustrated is the singer Marellian.

He was a freelance singer, but he can't talk about freedom now. The two gnomes of the little devil, Killer Clen and Tomahawk Fred, are ready to beat and threaten him, Maririan once tried to fight a dwarf who was less than half his height, the Killer Clen was so agile that he couldn't even touch him, and Tomahawk Fred was so powerful that he once jumped off his horse and fought him one-on-one, knocking him away with a single punch. It made everyone laugh.

So Marellian was much more honest.

Just go to the noble heart and sing a few designated songs. - He comforted himself! Once he was out of trouble, he decided to leave the strange group far away. - A group of men in black, a noble lady, a dwarf with two dwarf attendants, the dwarf himself is black, but his attendant is not a man in black, but a green and yellow coat.

Is there a stranger procession than this? And at the back of this procession there was a singer who sang beautifully and beautifully.

Someone made a special trip to the forbidden land of noble hearts, and brought a singer with him, to sing the love legend of 'Jane the Commoner of Wastestone City and Duncan the Short Prince'. - I don't know how to think about this.

Interested in going to the noble heart is Arya Stark.

"Will, tell me about Jenny and Duncan. After listening to Marellien's singing, Arya is like Sansa Stark, curious about the love saga of Jenny and Duncan.

Stories are always fascinating.

Will glanced at Tyrion in front of him and said, "Jenny is a princess who is loved by the people, and Duncan the Short gave up the throne to marry her, but the two of them did not end well, and they both died in the summer hall of the Targaryen family. ”

"I have been to the city of Rocks where Jenny lives once, and when I was a child, my mother took me back to Riverrun from the north, and passed through Rocky City, where there were only the foundations of the castle where the kings used to live, and a few low walls, a few stone houses with sloping corners, and more broken walls and collapsed stone castles overgrown with weed. ”

Tyrion, who was at the front of the line, turned around and cracked his gaping mouth and smiled, "Summer Hall, Miss Arya." It is located between the Stormlands and the Riverlands and the King's Lands, and in the year 259 A.D., a tragedy occurred in the Midsummer Hall. ”

"What tragedy?"

"During the reign of Aegon V Targaryen, he was fascinated by the dream of bringing dragons back into the world. He sent people to Asha to collect scrolls and legends about dragons. In the year 259 of Aegon, he gathered the Targaryens' family and friends to the Summer Hall to celebrate the birth of his first great-grandson, Rhaegar Targaryen, who had kidnapped your aunt Lyanna Stark after the usurpation war. The origin of the story is in Harrenhal, where we left shortly after we left. ”

"Aegon V, the great-grandfather of Rhaegar Targaryen?"

"Yes, Miss Arya. At the same time as Rhaegar was born, Aegon decided to bring the dragon back into the world. He found a way to hatch dragons from ancient texts, and he invited people from the House of Targaryen to witness the dragon's hatching, which was hatched by a firemancer over wildfire. ”

"Hatching dragons with fire?" said Arya, looking fascinated.

"Yes, hatch dragons with fire, a total of seven dragon eggs. ”

"Where do dragon eggs come from?"

"From the continent of Essos, the land of Axia. Legend has it that the land of Asha was the place where dragons were first born, about 20,000 miles away. If we go by land, it will take almost two years. ”

Arya's eyes widened in surprise and she exclaimed.

Everyone laughed.

Bolon, Angey, and Big Jili also listened with relish.

Marellien also forgot about his displeasure for a while. Stories about dragons are always fascinating.

Will was moved in his heart, the dragons in the world were indeed extinct, but it was not long, and the seven dragon eggs in the Midsummer Hall ended up in whose hands? Or, they were buried in the ruins of the Midsummer Hall.

It's highly likely!

If Daenerys Targaryen's dragon eggs can't be recovered on the other side of the Narrow Sea, why not try your luck at the ruins of Midsummer Hall?

Tyrion continued, "Aegon was excited by the birth of his great-grandson, Rhaegar Targaryen, and decided to bring the dragon back to the world on the same day. Tragedy struck, as a wildfire controlled by the pyromancer exploded, setting the entire Summer Hall on fire. At that time, the direct family members and branch families of the prince and princess of the Targaryen family in the Midsummer Hall were all there, and this fire burned the king, prince and princess, and Prince Duncan and Princess Jane the short could not escape. ”

"Wildfire material is very unstable, and the slightest collision or light source can cause an explosion," Will said. And wildfires cannot be extinguished with water, they can only be extinguished by covering them with yellow sand. ”

Tyrion gave Will a deep look, "Lord Will is right, when Aegon V hatched the dragon's eggs with wildfire, his Masters and Templars warned him that something might happen, but he didn't listen. Duncan the Tall, the captain of the Kingsguard, saved a lot of people, but many more Targaryens were burned to death in the fire. ”

"What about the seven dragon eggs?" Arya's mind was exactly the same as Will's.

"There were very few people who escaped the fire, and none of the witnesses wanted to talk about it again, including the Lady of the Leaves whom we had gone to see in the noble heart. "It was a terrible tragedy, and many children and ladies were burned to death in the wildfires. After the tragedy, the Midsummer Hall became a taboo. ”

Even the king did not escape.

Tyrion inadvertently reveals a message about the noble heart, the prophet named Lady Greenleaf that he and the killer Clen and the Tomahawk Fred are going to meet with the Children of the Forest.

A few days later, in front of them stood a high mountain, surrounded by flat earth, and the name of this high mountain was: Noble Heart.
