Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Water magic?" Ian Koru was a little surprised. "You mean that the target we want to explore blocked the King of Light's observation with water magic?"

Can he have that strength? What nonsense!

The Lord of Light can upgrade his Red God Priest skills to legendary level in an instant, and the highest skill level that players can obtain through the system is only legendary. Even if that player had an adventure and upgraded water magic to legend, why should he block the King of Light's exploration?

"My Lord's power will not directly act on the human world. The King of Light needs us as a carrier to release his power," Magi Luo shook his head and explained, "The water mist is not blocking the King of Light, but me."

"The other party is more powerful than you?" Even if it is just this result, Ian cannot accept it. Magiro is no weaker than Melisandre!

"No," Fortunately, Magiro denied Ian's guess, "If my interpretation of the illusion is not wrong, the other party should be in an environment with extremely high water magic intensity now, and the power there is so powerful that even I can't touch."

"Water magic has disappeared with the destruction of the city-state of Rhoynar for nearly 1,000 years. Is there still a place like this still existing?" Ian blurted out and then remembered something, "Is it the Heartbreak Territory? Rhoynar Chajoun, the festival capital of men?”

"If there is such a place, it is indeed most likely that it is located in the Heartbreak Territory. No one knows what is in the thick fog in the Heartbreak Territory. Anyone who entered the ruined city has never come out again, and from the Heartbreak Territory The ships passing through the Lorne River section where the leader is located just pass quickly along the east bank of the river when the fog is at its lightest." This time Magiro confirmed Ian's guess.

"I heard that the thick fog in the Heartbreak Territory was caused by the curse of Prince Gaelin. He activated the power of the Mother River of Lorne and sealed the dragon kings who invaded Chayon at the bottom of the river. This fog is the dragon kings under the water. Breathing." Ian thought for a while and said a statement he saw in the original work.

Of course, although this is the content of the original work, it appears in the form of a legend, and its credibility is not high. Ian needs to listen to the opinions of professionals like Magiro before he can make a judgment.

"I have also heard of such a legend," Magi Luo also fell into thinking after hearing this. "And I have also discussed this issue with the Supreme Priest. Lord Benero believes that this possibility is very high."

"Ah?" I thought this was nonsense... Ian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately expressed his doubts, "If the mist in the Sadness Territory is the breath of the dragon kings at the bottom of the river, is it possible that those dragon kings are still alive today? ?”

"Is there anything strange about them still being alive?"

"It has been a thousand years! I have never heard that the Dragon King has a long life. The Targaryens are the Dragon King family. They will grow old, sick and die just like humans."

"The Targaryens are a family of dragon kings who survived the Doomsday of Valyria. They are dragon kings, but they are only dragon kings. In the Free Fortress of Valyria, the Targaryens are just a low-ranking family, and they do not control Ancient War. Leilian witchcraft." Magiro explained patiently.

"You mean, those dragon kings who were sealed at the bottom of the Heartbroken River are all"

"Valyrian blood wizards," Magiro took over. "They are the people who truly have power in Valyria. It is not difficult for them to gain a longer life." Magiro paused and thought. After a while he added,

"And they may not really be 'alive' at the bottom of the river. According to some ancient Rhoynar classics' descriptions of water magic, after powerful enemies are sealed at the bottom of the river, their bodies and hearts will turn into stone, or perhaps become petrified. Their physical and mental health delayed their aging and allowed them to gain some kind of alternative immortality."

How can you breathe out the white mist when your body and mind have turned to stone? The corner of Ian's mouth twitched, but the next moment he secretly cursed himself for being a fool for actually trying to use his shallow scientific knowledge to understand magic.

Seeing Ian's silence, Magi Luo thought that he still couldn't accept that 'human beings can have a long life', so he gave a new example: "In the legend, the Human Emperor (God-on-Earth) ruled Ten thousand years on Earth is the limit that I have heard of people living. In comparison, those Valyrian blood wizards only lived for a thousand years."

"Uh" Ian had already stopped worrying about this issue. When he heard Ma Qiluo suddenly mention the myth of Yi Di, he immediately became interested, "But in the legend of Yi Di, the Human Emperor is the only son of the Night Lion and the Lady of Light. Strictly speaking, he should be considered a god, right?"

"There is only one true God in the world!" Magiro suddenly became excited, "He is the King of Light, the Heart of the Holy Flame, and the Master of Shadow and Fire!"

"Of course, the Lord of Light is the only God." Ian was startled and quickly agreed. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to argue with Magiro on this issue.

But then, a new question suddenly appeared in Ian's mind. After thinking about his words, he asked again: "What I just wanted to express was that false gods such as the Night Lion and the Lady of Light, they And what kind of existence is it? Is it a powerful wizard?"

"Forehead"

"Where is the Mother River of Lorne?" Ian asked without waiting for the other party to answer, "She does not even exist in the form of a human or animal, but a river. What is she? Where does her power come from? ?”

Magiro fell silent, and he was stopped by Ian's question. In fact, he has never tried to think about these questions, or his piety simply does not allow him to think about these questions. Now that he is suddenly asked, he naturally cannot answer them.

Ian noticed the change in Magiro's expression, was startled, and immediately swallowed back a lot of questions in his stomach.

It would be bad if he accidentally shakes Ma Qiluo's Taoist heart!

Magiro's power can be used for himself. The most important thing is that he is now the fighter chosen by the Lord of Light, and he is a fanatical believer of the Lord of Light.

What Ian just raised were all questions without any explanation, which meant that he could only shake Magiro's faith in the Lord of Light, but he could not transform it into faith in himself.

Continuing this topic is just shooting yourself in the foot.

"Anyway, we have to confirm what the King of the Heartbreak Territory is doing," Ian immediately changed the subject. "Is there any way you can find out where the place with extremely strong water magic is?"

"This" Magi Luo was interrupted by Ian. Sure enough, he immediately stopped struggling with the previous question and turned to think about this new question. "To be honest, if it is just here, there may not be anything good." Method.

The power of the Supreme Priest is only slightly stronger than mine. Even if he were to take action, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to find effective information in the flames, but"

"Speak directly." Ian interrupted Magiro's hesitation.

"If we can enter the Heartbreak Territory, I should have a way to find that location." Magi Luo expressed his thoughts after hearing this, "We have a strong sense of magic, as long as that place is really If it exists, I will definitely find it.”

This is the truth, just like in the original work, Melisandre discovered the soul of a shapeshifter in a certain eagle in the sky a few hundred meters away from the Great Wall, and then burned it to death with a spell. High-level The red-robed monk does have the gift of sensing magic.

"Uh." After listening to Magi Luo's words, Ian knew why he hesitated before speaking.

I need to enter the sad zone, how do I do that?

Mobilize the Volantis fleet and go directly north along the Rhoyne River to attack the Heartbreak Territory?

Most of the warships of the Volantis Navy are not suitable for navigation in rivers. There are not many ships that can go north. Moreover, the town of Velonthes is now controlled by the Golden Group. When the Volantis fleet passed through the river section of Ronthes Town, It will definitely be blocked by trebuchets and ballistae on the city walls.

It is obviously impossible to send an army to seize the town of Velonthes before the fleet passes by. The Volantis Tiger Robe Army has too few elites, and some of them were consumed in the civil war. The remaining troops left the city to give to the Golden Company. Deliver food.

Although Ian took the time to return to his true form after Volantis formally surrendered, allowing Mateus Meguya, who was brainwashed by him into the 'Garden of the Lord of Light', to lead a cargo of 6,000 mercenaries and 5,000 The fleet of the Unsullied rushed to Volantis (Ian was worried that the appearance of the Gith Legion in Volantis would greatly reduce the Volantis' sense of identity with him, so for the time being, he only mobilized a fleet of ships that would not cause any harm to Volantis. The mercenaries and Unsullied people who were disgusted by the people came to Volantis), but it would be at least more than two months before they could arrive.

Therefore, if Ian is eager to go to the Heartbreak Territory, he can only let the fleet rush to the river section of Velonces Town.

Even if many ships in his fleet successfully break through, they will still have to face all the river pirate groups in the upper and middle reaches of the Lorne River that have been integrated by the Bloody Flower Chamber of Commerce. Even if he can still win this time, he still has to deal with the stone people after entering the thick fog of the Heartbreak Territory.

It was really difficult for Ian to have confidence in these Volantis sailors who had just reluctantly surrendered to him. He even suspected that as long as he dared to issue an order to go to the Heartbreak Territory, these sailors would dare to mutiny halfway and tie him up. The stone sank into the River Lorne.

"We can't occupy the Heartbreak Territory in the short term." Ian could only admit in the end. "If we want to enter the Heartbreak Territory, we can only choose to hide our identity and take the grain ship that goes to and from Volantis and the three northern towns. , after arriving at Saihoru Town, find a boat and sneak into the Heartbreak Territory."

With the help of Falcon Vision, Ian took a boat to bypass the patrolling river pirates, and it shouldn't be a problem to sneak into the ruined city on the sad section of the river with dense tributaries, but it could only go so far. Falcon It cannot continue to penetrate deeper into the range of the Sadness Territory, as it cannot play any role in that thick fog.

"I'm not afraid of taking risks. As long as you need it, I can accompany you to sneak in." Ma Qiluo immediately replied after hearing this.

"This is not a question of risk." Ian shook his head. "What I'm worried about is that after infiltrating in this way, even if we find the place and find out what the King of the Heartbreak Territory is doing, we won't have enough force to stop him."

"If you can find a suitable sacrifice, even if there are only a few of us, it will be better than thousands of troops." Ma Qiluo reminded.

Ian was startled, but he had forgotten about it.

Red God magic with blood sacrifice and Red God magic without blood sacrifice are two completely different stories.

"What is a suitable sacrifice?" Ian couldn't think of a suitable object for a moment, so he simply asked Magiro directly.

"The best is of course the blood of the king, followed by the high-level priests."

"What about the body of Archon Malachor?" Ian suddenly thought.

"If he had just died, Consul Malachor would be the most powerful sacrifice. He has been elected consul many times and is the most powerful leader in Volantis, but..." Magiro changed his subject. Denied, "Now his blood has gone cold and he has lost his strength."

"Where are the relatives of Archon Malachor? His eldest son? His sons?" Ian immediately asked.

"Justice Palachiro has replaced Malachor as consul, which will weaken the power of Malachor's descendants. But if it is sacrificed as a whole person instead of just taking a little blood If so, it’s enough to exert a powerful force.”

"Then it's settled." The double warnings from the skills of the Green Seer and the Red God Priest forced Ian to make this risky decision. He could not wait for the reinforcements from Slaver's Bay to arrive and had to act immediately, "You will come from the Holy Fire." Pick out a few of the strongest men and find a pious captain. I will bring two champion gladiators and the two sons of Malachor's consul. We will disguise ourselves tonight and set off on the grain ship. .”

"Yes, sir." Magi Luo had no objection and took action immediately after receiving the order.

After seeing each other off, Ian returned to his desk, but he couldn't help but think of the previous question that he didn't want Magiro to continue thinking about - what exactly is the existence of the Mother River of Lorne?

Even more, what kind of existence is the Red God R'hllor?

In fact, Ian has often thought about this question, but he has never gotten an answer. But today when Ian was discussing the Mother River of Lorne, he unexpectedly received some inspiration.

In his previous thinking about the existence of 'gods', he would subconsciously 'anthropomorphize' them. After all, all the 'gods' that Ian came into contact with were things imagined by humans based on their own appearance. .

But the mother river of Lorne, the 'main god' believed by the Rhoynar people, is a river. This provides Ian with an idea. What will happen if the 'anthropomorphic' thinking is removed when thinking about the existence form of God? result?

For example, suppose R'hllor is a will, and this will is to end the long night and defeat the cold god.

Then all R'hllor's previous actions are explained. Apart from the purpose of 'ending the long night', he does not care about anything else. For example, Ian is not pious enough, and for example, Ian often offends him mentally or verbally. He doesn't even care about the fact that Ian masters the magic of the Old God while mastering the magic of the Red God.

Because in the future he saw, Ian faithfully performed his duties as his pawn and helped him achieve his ultimate goal, then everything else was not important at all.

This is what is ‘divine’, not ‘human’.

"Ding!" Suddenly a notification sounded in Ian's ears, and he quickly opened his mailbox.
