Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

In the darkness, the light of the torch was only a small dot.

The voices of the conversation between the two were also inaudible.

Only then did Arya dare to follow secretly.

"... need... more birds..."

"...I can arrange..."

"...young... literate..."

"...is safe... risk..."

Arya didn't dare to follow too closely, and almost lost sight of the other party several times. She kept moving forward. She almost kicked a stone and almost hit a wall, but fortunately, there was no danger.

She didn't know how far she had gone, maybe how many miles?

Finally, she lost track.

She lost her way in the dark, so she could only grope for the wall and move on.

After an unknown amount of time, she finally saw the light.

Arya smelled the salty sea breeze, excitedly rushed out, and then saw the endless black water bay.

In the setting sun, a few seagulls flitted across the sea, and countless white sails crowded the port like flags.

Only then did Arya realize that she had actually left the Red Keep.

Fortunately, as long as she is still in King's Landing, she can see the Red Castle towering above the Aegon Hills as soon as she looks up, so Arya won't get lost.

She quickened her pace, afraid that she would miss dinner if she went back late, and would be scolded by her father again.

However, when she arrived outside the gate of the castle, the gold-cloaked guards looked at her with disgust and chased her away:

"Go away, kid, this is not the place for you."

"But I live in it," cried Arya.

The gold-cloaked guard laughed loudly: "Then I'm still the king."

Arya knew that she must be in a mess right now. Her clothes were covered in dust, her hair was messed up, and her shoes were all missing. She really didn't look like she lived in a castle.

"I am Arya of House Stark, my father is the Hand of the King, and I really live in the Red Keep." She tried to explain.

It's a pity that the gold-cloaked guard still didn't believe it: "Boy, the story is well written, but you got the gender wrong. Miss Arya is a girl. Get out, if you don't leave, I'm going to beat someone!"

"I'm not a boy!" Arya was angry. "If you don't let me in, I'll let the Hand of the King fire you all!"

"Get out!" A gold-cloaked guard yelled angrily, and shook his fist at Arya.

It's a pity that she avoided it deftly.

"stop."

Arya heard a familiar voice behind her, she turned her head, and suddenly showed a surprised smile:

"Lord Caesar!"

"Arya, why did you run outside the Red Castle?" Samwell couldn't help laughing and shaking his head as he looked at the little girl who was dirtier than before.

Sure enough, it was Arya the "troublemaker".

"I was catching cats, and then I entered a dark place..." Arya hesitated, but did not say what she overheard, "...and then ran out of the Red Castle without knowing what happened gone."

Samwell's heart moved when he heard this, the little girl wouldn't have slipped into the secret passage of the Red Castle.

That's a great place!

Samwell was worried that he couldn't find it.

"Come on, I'll take you in." Samwell took Arya's hand and walked towards the gate.

Of course, the gold-cloaked guards knew the young baron who had just won the championship of the martial arts tournament, and quickly bowed to salute, while being secretly surprised——

That dirty kid is really the daughter of the King's Hand?

"Lord Caesar, are you out on business?" Arya asked with her head raised.

"Yes." After hearing the news that Petyr was attacked by the "Red Viper" on the street, Samwell ran to watch the excitement.

Unfortunately, he was one step too late, and both were taken away by the Hand of the King.

Hearing that one of Petyr's arms had been cut off, Samwell secretly laughed for a long time.

But this is obviously not the end for Petyr.

Next, he is on trial for the murder of Jon Arryn.

Let's see what you do this time.

Passing through the bronze gate, the two walked into the Red Castle, and Samwell suddenly asked:

"Arya, can you show me the place you caught the cat before?"

"Okay." Arya nodded, "Shall I go now?"

"Yes." Samwell couldn't wait.

Because he knew that there were some good things in that secret path.

So, led by Arya, the two came to the hidden cellar entrance again.

However, the entrance was very small, and the passage inside was also very narrow, so Samwell could only crawl in.

Fortunately, he has already lost weight, otherwise he would really be stuck here.

After climbing through this passage, Samwell came to a spacious space.

"Lord Caesar, come quickly, those monster bones are here." Arya waved in front.

Samwell waited for his eyes to adapt to the darkness here before moving on.

After pushing open a wooden door, he really saw dark shadows.

Resisting the excitement in his heart, Samwell stretched out his hand to hold the giant sword [Dawn] behind him, and slowly pulled it out.

With the red-gold lines appearing on the milky-white sword body, the fire-like light dispelled the surrounding darkness.

"Wow! Lord Caesar, your sword will burst into flames! Just like that red-robed monk!" Arya exclaimed.

Samwell didn't try to argue that his sword was not the same as the red monk's flaming sword, he just wanted to see the things he had been waiting for for a long time——

The skull of a dragon!

He thought that the remains of the dragon must be daunting, but when he saw the things in front of him clearly with the firelight of [Dawn], he found that they were such beautiful things!

The dark bones are like agate, smooth and bright, shining with crystal luster under the firelight.

The remains of such a terrifying giant beast are so breathtakingly beautiful.

It's unbelievable.

"It's so beautiful!" Arya also exclaimed. She was frightened by these things in the dark just now, but after seeing them clearly, she realized that they were not scary at all. Instead, she couldn't help reaching out and touching them, " Are these crystal sculptures?"

"No. They are the remains of a dragon."

"Dragon?" Arya was startled, and quickly moved her hand away.

"Yes, the dragon. The most terrifying war machines of the Targaryen family are all here." Samwell brought [Dawn] closer to the skulls, and then found that the fire seemed to be brighter.

The bones seemed to welcome the sword, or, perhaps, the firelight.

There are only nineteen skulls left in the giant dragon in front of him, some big and some small.

Pointing to the two smallest skulls, Arya asked, "Are these two also the remains of a dragon? Why are they so small?"

"Those are the last two dragons hatched by the Targaryen family. They are deformed and short-lived." Samwell looked at the two skulls about the size of ordinary hounds, his eyes flickering.

"Oh." Arya looked at the largest dragon skull again, "That must be the 'Black Death' Balerion, right?"

"Yes." Samwell walked over and stood in the bloody maw of Balerion, feeling the horror of this terrifying monster up close, "It is said that the 'Black Death' can swallow a whole bison in one bite, now It seems that it is really not an exaggeration."

Arya also stepped in cautiously, and found that even if there were two people standing, there was still room in the big mouth.

"It's so big!" The little girl exclaimed, "It's so big with only one head, how big and terrifying the whole dragon must be!"

Samwell couldn't help imagining the appearance of the giant beast in front of him, imagining the scene when it spread its wings, soared into the sky, and breathed out flames.

When "Conqueror" Aegon Targaryen landed in King's Landing, he had an army of less than 2,000 men. With these troops alone, no one thought he could gain a foothold on this continent, let alone conquer the Seven Kingdoms.

But he also had three dragons—

Balerion, Meraxes, and Vagarhar.

These three dragons, named after the ancient gods of Valyria, displayed unearthly power in the ensuing war.

In the most famous battle of "Raging Fire", the coalition forces of the King of Casterly Rock and the King of the Reach were directly burned to death by the flames of three giant dragons, including the King of the Reach and all his descendants.

After this battle, the people of Westeros finally admitted the invincibility of the dragon, and the seven kingdoms finally surrendered one by one under the command of the Iron Throne.

But unfortunately, just over a hundred years later, the giant dragon became extinct.

The Targaryen family, which lost the dragon, was also driven from the Iron Throne in the War of the Reavers.

These keels, which were supposed to be placed in the throne room, were also left in this corner by the new king Robert.

Samwell withdrew his thoughts, looked at the keel in front of him, and the desire in his heart resurfaced again.

As a person who aspires to become a "master of gourmet food in another world", how can he not taste the taste of a giant dragon?

So he came to one of the teeth of Balerion's skull, the greatsword raised high in his hand.

"Lord Caesar, what are you doing?" Arya asked.

"Take a souvenir and go." Samwell laughed, and swung the long sword in his hand!

clang!

Sparks fly.

However, there was only a small gap on the dragon's teeth, and the huge shock force made Samwell grin his teeth.

The bones of the dragon are so hard!

He could no longer swing the second sword.

It seemed that Bellerion's bones could not be taken for the time being, so Samwell had no choice but to go to the smallest piece of skull, which was about the size of an ordinary hound, and took it all away.

Although this dragon is deformed and short-lived, it is still a dragon after all, so it should have the same effect.

Go back and boil some bone soup to drink.

"Come on, Arya, do you remember the road ahead?"

Arya shook her head hesitantly: "There's still a long way ahead... I'm afraid I'll get lost, I followed two people before..."

"Two people?" Samwell's heart moved.

"Yes, a fat man, and a man from the other side of the narrow sea, they were talking about Littlefinger, the Red Viper, the King's Bastard, oh, and your and my father's names were mentioned, and they were talking about magicians, jugglers, and so on. Weird words."

Samwell was speechless for a while.

The little girl didn't understand what she heard, so she narrated it in a mess, but he already guessed who those two were.

Moreover, this also reminded him of a plot in the original work, and a problem that he had ignored...

"Then do you still remember where the last exit of the secret passage leads to?"

"Yeah." This time Arya nodded heavily, "It leads to Blackwater Bay, and when you come out, there is a cliff, and you can see Port King's Landing."

"Okay." Samwell looked at the darkness ahead, his eyes flickering, "Let's go, let's go back the same way, next time I have a chance, I will take you to explore again."

"good!"
