A Western fantasy journey that began with Game of Thrones

Wildfire is a special flame made by alchemists. It is a flame that is difficult to extinguish after being ignited. It can penetrate into clothes, wood, leather, steel, and even burn when floating on water.

In the modern history of Westeros, wildfires have occupied a lot of place - the former Mad King Aerys was obsessed with wildfires and loved to burn people with wildfires. The mediocre king Aegon, whom Renly used not long ago, also had a wishful thinking of creating a war machine that spewed wildfire to attack Dorne. As a result, it exploded as soon as it was transported to the Kingswood, burning a large piece of the forest.

More than fifty years ago, an heir to the Targaryen throne frantically drank a jar of wildfire, thinking he could turn into a dragon.

The results speak for themselves.

It can be said that the existence of this flame has always affected the Targaryen family and even changed their destiny. In addition, Renly also remembered that the future Queen Cersei used wildfire to blow up St. Baelor's Cathedral in King's Landing in that show, which was extremely powerful.

Of course, this is a very nonsense thing. After reading the real history of Westeros and understanding the situation in various parts of the Seven Kingdoms, Renly felt that this kind of thing was impossible to happen, or even if it happened, it would definitely affect the entire continent. situation, instead of just pretending it’s gone after the explosion.

All in all, he knew a lot about wildfires.

This kind of flame is very deadly. A tiny spark or even a slightly higher temperature can cause them to ignite and explode. However, the torch that was guarded just now has even been attached to the surface of the jar containing wildfire...

The crisis closest to real death happened so quietly, leaving Renly with lingering fears. Although he has died several times, he has not lived enough. He feels that his current body may not be able to survive if he dies.

He hurriedly led the guards out of the cellar passage, and then hurriedly went down the hills and got back into the carriage. Only after the carriage was far away from the Rhaenys Hills and entered a wider road, he breathed a sigh of relief and made a decision.

Wildfires must be reported, otherwise an explosion might set the entire King's Landing on fire one day, so don't be careless.

Then...

Touching something in his arms, Renly secretly thought about whether he would use it tonight.

…

"No one can guarantee whether this is correct, Your Majesty, but I think you'd better consider it carefully."

"I have thought about it, Jon. Making Stannis the Warden of the Stormlands makes Duke Mace very nervous. He hopes that I can trust him, and I also hope that he can be worthy of my trust, so I agreed to his offer. "

"If he wants you to give him trust, then why doesn't he send his son to you as an attendant? Even if he is reluctant to part with his heir, he still has a second son or even a younger son."

"Isn't this issue already discussed? Jon, I insisted on taking hostages at the beginning, and you couldn't go too far. In the end, we only wanted those two idiots from the Redwin family."

"Now we have to give him hostages?"

"Hostage? Don't say that. Renly is just a bridge to ease the relationship. I don't want to send him to be a hostage... Seven Hells, Jon, do you think there is still any possibility of betrayal in the Reach? If those people still have this kind of mentality, wouldn’t it be impossible for me to marry Cersei——"

…

The conversation in the room was interrupted by a hurried knock on the door, and then a young attendant pushed the door in with King Robert's consent, and then hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Hand, Lord Renly found in the dragon's lair. A wildfire."

The word wildfire made the two of them stunned. After looking at each other, the Prime Minister Jon Arryn immediately asked: "How many are there?"

"About three hundred cans," the attendant replied.

The Prime Minister heard this and said to Robert: "Your Majesty, we should immediately send people to seal off Rhaenys Hills, and then call the fire warlocks for help to clean up those things."

King Robert nodded solemnly, and the newly appointed Prime Minister hurriedly left the room and went out to give orders.

This matter can be big or small. In normal times, if you find a wildfire, just send some people to deal with it, but at the moment, King's Landing is full of nobles from all over the Seven Kingdoms. If something unexpected happens, it will be a lot of fun. Well, there is no room for the two of them not to take it seriously.

…

Rhaenys Hills was sealed off all morning that day, and the contents inside were basically cleared. However, the discussion on this matter did not stop, and even continued to deepen.

Why is there wildfire hidden in the long-abandoned dragon's lair?

This issue was put before the king's royal council.

Just a wildfire is nothing, but the problem is that some soldiers reported that judging from the traces of the cellar where the wildfire was hidden, those things were not hidden by a certain king in history, but were transported in not long ago!

This discovery immediately attracted the attention of the imperial ministers.

What happened not long ago?

Anyone in Junlin can answer this question——

Naturally, the war between Targaryen and Baratheon.

During the war, a large number of wildfires were buried deep in the dragon's lair. What was the purpose?

Who buried these things?

The truth was easily guessed.

"As we all know, Mad King Aerys places great trust in those sneaky pyromancers, and only they can create wildfire."

At the royal conference table, Archmaester Pycelle raised his hand to wipe the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead, and said tremblingly to King Robert: "Your Majesty, I think there are more wildfires in the city. I mean, if crazy The king once wanted to use wildfire to deal with you, then these things should not be just in the dragon's lair, they may be all over the city... Gods bless you, what a crazy idea. "

What he said was nonsense. Everyone present thought of this issue and felt that the possibility was not small. After all, since the order to bury the wildfire had been issued, we couldn't just bury it in one place, right?

what about others?

Why didn't it break out?

Was it because we didn't have time? Or are there still people lurking in the dark, ready to ignite those horrible things at any time?

All kinds of thoughts made King Robert and Prime Minister Jon Arryn look gloomy. Captain Barristan of the Kingsguard gritted his teeth and clenched the hilt of the long sword hanging at his waist. He didn't know what he was thinking. Stannis, the Lord of the Sea, turned his gaze. He looked across the table at the intelligence chief, Wallis, who was wearing a pink robe. His eyes were full of suspicion, making the other party secretly complain.

But no matter what they thought, the proposal to thoroughly search the entire King's Landing was quickly implemented, and as expected, locations hiding wildfires were discovered one after another.

Flea Bottom, Flour Street, Cobbler's Square, even under St. Belle's Cathedral...

The various discoveries made during the continuous searches made the nobles in the city break into cold sweats after receiving the news. They felt that they were completely on top of a volcano that could erupt at any time, and they had no idea about it before!

So the madness of the former King Aerys once again became a topic of discussion among people in King's Landing, and everyone was happy about this.

Then, someone discovered something special.

"I remember correctly, that kid discovered the secret passage in the Red Keep in the first place?" During the Lannister family meeting, Duke Tywin's second brother, Kevan Lannister, said thoughtfully: "For no reason. , why did he run to the dragon's lair?"

"This question is equivalent to asking what the children are thinking about all day long." Gillian Lannister, the other brother of the Duke, laughed after hearing this: "Besides, the secret passage belongs to the two children of the Redwin family. We also discussed this matter, second brother, have you forgotten? "

"It's you who forgot." Kevan glanced at his younger brother: "It was the secret passage that the child fell into first. Don't ignore this."

"So? What does this prove? A special boy who is good at discovering secrets? Or is he an unlucky boy who always encounters unlucky things?"

Jillian, who had brilliant blond hair, sneered: "Are you too sensitive, Kevan?"

"Tyrion told me that the child once invited him to play in the dragon's lair." Seeing that the second brother opened his mouth and wanted to say something else, the first Duke Tywin said: "So there is nothing to discuss about this matter. We have this time, We should consider Tyrell's problem."

His face looked gloomy when he said this. In fact, the Duke of the Lannister family had not been in a happy mood since the day of the king's coronation.

"Tyrell?" The Duke's two younger brothers looked at each other in confusion.

"We can't do anything to him now, can we, brother?" The last brother, Tiget, who was quite silent, said, with an equally ugly expression - he was the one who had excrement splashed on his face at the beginning, but even after the intensive search, he was still alive. He killed several people, but he still couldn't understand his hatred.

"To be exact, I don't have a clue right now."

Lord Tywin said: "But Lannister must pay his debts."

…

Renly didn't know what kind of consequences his trip to the dragon's lair would lead to, and how many things would change in the future. He didn't know that something he had done before was still not completely over, and there were even undercurrents.

He didn't have the time to think about these things.

At this moment, Renly was thinking about himself, because the next morning after returning from the dragon's lair, he learned something——

After the king's wedding, he will go to the Reach with that Tyrell Duke!

"Highgarden is the most beautiful castle in the Seven Kingdoms. Renly, you will definitely like it there, and the climate in the Reach is good, which is also good for your health."

As he spoke, Robert squatted in front of the boy and patted his arm, and said seriously: "When we get there, give me some food to make you stronger! You are so thin, what will you do if you get a wife in the future?"

This news was a bit unexpected for Renly. Although he knew that it was common among the nobles in Westeros to send their children to other families to serve as servants, and even though someone had invited him two days ago, he still I was caught off guard and didn't understand why.

"Am I going to be a cupbearer? For that Duke of Metz?" He asked hesitantly. You can only be a steward after you reach a certain age, because the career of a steward needs to be mixed with some knight training, which is not feasible at his current age. .

"Bartender?" Robert laughed loudly after hearing this: "You are now a lord, how can you still be a cupbearer serving people?"

"Then what do I mean? Just a guest?"

"You go and be an adopted son."

King Robert replied: "Adopted to Lady Olenna Tyrell."

Renly was stunned again when he heard this.

Olenna Tyrell, also known as Olenna Redwyne, is the widow of the late old Duke of the River Bend, the mother of the current Duke Tyrell, and the grandmother of some of the main characters in the Tyrell family in memory. Nicknamed Queen of Thorns...
