Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

The tall canopy is like an open giant umbrella covering the sky, and the sun's rays can only shine into the forest through the gaps in the branches and leaves.

The mottled light spots are constantly changing with the shaking of the branches, disturbing the sight of people walking in the forest.

Fortunately, they are all savages who were born and raised here. They have long been accustomed to the changes of light and shadow in the forest, and know how to maintain keen perception and vigilance in such an environment.

Ucha was at the end of the line carrying a bag of jerky, turning his head from time to time to make sure no foraging beasts followed.

"Look, it's almost there!"

A shout from the front startled Wucha slightly, he looked forward hastily, and through the layers of branches and leaves, he also saw the deep valley from a distance.

The memories of a few days ago flooded into my heart, making Ucha couldn't help shivering.

It was the scariest night he had ever experienced.

Blood, screams, fighting, and corpses all over the ground... often woke him up in the middle of the night, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Fortunately, Wucha ran fast at that time, so he didn't die in the valley or become a prisoner.

Fortunately, the aristocrat is a kind person, not only did not pursue the responsibility of the Huya tribe, but accepted them as a leader.

Ucha didn't know the difference between the people and the savages, but he didn't have much resistance to the change of his identity.

At least no more fighting with those horrible Reach people.

And get delicious white bread.

Wu Cha still remembers the delicious taste that melts in his mouth. This time he brought jerky to Yingzui Islet, and he also wanted to change some bread back.

Of course, this is just incidental.

The more important task is actually to help my sister find a man.

Many girls in the village have married to Yingzui Islet. After World War I, the ratio of men to women in Huya Village has been seriously out of balance. If the girls in the village do not want to die alone, they can only marry outsiders.

Moreover, the savages have always had the tradition of being strong.

The people of Hewan have already proved their strength, so the girls in Huya Village will naturally not have any resistance to marrying outsiders.

What's more, the lord also promised to reward the girls who married to Yingzui Island.

In the past few days, many girls from Huya Village have gone to Yingzui Islet to choose a man.

Yes, these girls living in the mountains have always been active.

Ucha's older sister, Wuna, is a bit reserved due to her outstanding looks, but now she dare not hesitate to wait, otherwise the river bay warriors will be picked out.

At that time, only craftsmen will be left.

After walking for a while, the team was already close to Taniguchi.

The scene gradually became lively. Hundreds of savages were busy cutting down trees here. The originally dense woods were now much sparser, and there was a large area near the mouth of the valley.

Wucha knew that these loggers were all his former clansmen, and they stayed in Yingzui Islet after being captured to build a castle for the lord.

He originally thought that these people would have a miserable life, not having enough food, not sleeping well, having to do heavy work, and even being beaten and abused in various ways.

But looking at it along the way, I found that this is not the case.

These lumberjacks are full of energy and energy, and they don't look like prisoners at all.

"uncle!"

Hearing her sister's voice, Ucha turned his head and saw his uncle wielding an ax in front of a thick oak tree.

"Hey, Wuna, Wucha, why are you two here?" The uncle stopped his movements, then seemed to remember something, and smiled, "Is it because you picked a man for Wuna?"

Wu Na nodded openly, not too shy, but worried: "Uncle, those Hewan people won't bully us savages, right?"

"No. The lord has already issued a decree. Hewan people and savages are equal. If they bully others, they will be punished."

"That's good." Wu Na nodded, and seemed to finally relax.

"Uncle, how are you doing..." Wu Cha asked with some guilt.

He always felt that it was a cowardly act for him to run away alone that night, and he also made his uncle a prisoner.

"I'm fine. Some eat, some sleep, and I get paid."

"Is there any money left?" Ucha was startled.

"Yes." The uncle picked up the ax again, "I'll tell you later, I have to finish today's task, or I will lose my work points."

After finishing speaking, ignoring the Wucha siblings who were confused, they waved the ax in their hands again.

boom! boom! boom!

After the tree squeaked, the leading man signaled his subordinates to pull the thick rope that had already been attached to the treetop.

The tall trees that were already crumbling, finally fell to the ground under the concerted efforts of everyone, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

After cleaning up the excess branches, everyone carried the logs on their shoulders and walked into the valley.

The Wucha siblings also followed.

"Uncle, did you just say you still have money?"

"Yes. The lord said that we are captives, not slaves, and we should be paid for our work. However, after all, we are atoning for our previous mistakes, so the reward is not high, and we can't get it right away."

"When can I get it then?"

"When the castle is built, the lord will settle the settlement with us in a unified way. Now we will record the work points first."

"Work points?"

"Yes, you can get one point for completing the prescribed work every day. In addition, each person in the group that does the most work will get an extra point, and this point is equivalent to a copper plate. Don't underestimate it, you know, my lord It’s in charge of our food, and it’s all about our satiety!”

"That's really good." Seeing that his uncle was doing well, Wu Cha breathed a sigh of relief.

"What a benevolent lord!" Wu Na also sighed, looking forward to marrying Yingzui Island even more in her heart.

"Yes, the only bad thing is that every six days of work, we have to stop for one day. The lord said this is a rest day for us. Hey, but this day will not earn work points." Uncle said with a long sigh, "I have I don't know what to do today. What is there to rest for?"

"You can go back to Huya Village to have a look. Oh yes, uncle, can you leave Yingzui Island?"

"Yes. The lord did not restrict our freedom. However, why should I go back? The woman has remarried, and my mother and son are now living in the orphanage in Yingzui Island. Huya Village no longer has my home .”

"Aunt, she thought you died in battle unfortunately, so..."

"Okay, don't make excuses for her. I have nothing to do with her. After I build the castle for the lord and get the wages, it will not be easy for me to find another woman. Anyway, there are a lot of widows in the village now."

Wucha scratched the back of his head, and said no more.

After walking for a while, I saw a small group of people gathered in front of us, and there seemed to be a dispute.

From the appearance of the other party, Ucha recognized that those were all members of the Longbeard tribe, and they also participated in the canyon battle under the call of the three Cheka brothers.

The road in the valley was very narrow, and Wu Cha and others could not help hearing some conversations when they passed by.

"Tell the patriarch that we are not going back."

"Why? Since the people in Hewan haven't restricted your freedom, why don't you run away?"

"Why do you want to run? I can eat enough here, sleep well, and get paid. I won't go back."

"But here, you have to work all the time."

"Isn't it also hunting when I go back? In comparison, cutting down trees is not life-threatening."

"But...but...the tribe needs you!"

"Why don't the patriarch also surrender to Lord Caesar, just like the Huya tribe."

"That's right, that's right, so we can all become Lord Caesar's subjects."

"Bastard! Have you forgotten the glory of the Longbeard tribe!"

"What glory is there... I have been beaten like that..."

"Shut up! You ungrateful bastards! I bought you off for a few coppers!"

"It's more than a few copper coins! It will take a long time until the castle is built, but... a lot of copper coins! If you run away now, the previous work points will not be counted, anyway, I won't leave."

"Yes, I'm not leaving either."

"Me too."

...

"Only fools will run away." Listening to the disputes among the Longbeard tribe, the uncle commented, "Not only did no one escape, but these days, the number of people in our prison camp has actually increased."

"It has changed a lot?" Wu Cha was a little stunned when he heard the words, "Could there be someone who volunteered to be a prisoner?"

"Yeah, you heard it yourself, the prisoners here are treated so well, why don't you come here." The uncle glanced at his nephew, and suddenly said, "Wucha, why don't you stay as a prisoner too. Anyway, your sister also If you want to marry, you can have someone to take care of you if you stay."

"What?" Ucha was dumbfounded.

But after thinking about it, it seems that this is not bad.

But... how can anyone become a prisoner by himself? What about the glory of the wildling warriors?

For a moment, Ucha was in a tangle.
