Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King

Samwell looked at the woman in front of him, and the weird feeling in his heart became stronger.

Because the other party really doesn't look like a savage.

The kind of elegance and pride that comes from the bones cannot be pretended or imitated. Only when you are young, you can have no worries about food and clothing, have someone to serve you, and a good tutor can cultivate it.

Such a woman could only appear in noble castles, not in the crimson mountains filled with barbarism and ignorance.

"Madam Nora, may I ask, are you a native savage?"

Nora smiled slightly, as if she was not surprised by such a question:

"I'm afraid not."

"I am afraid?"

"Yes, my lord. Many people have asked me similar questions, but I really can't give them a definite answer. Because I don't remember myself."

Samwell's expression suddenly became a little strange:

"Have you ever lost your memory?"

"Yes, my lord. The previous patriarch of the Crow Tribe, that is, my husband, rescued me in the summer sea more than ten years ago. But I can't remember why I fell into the sea, and I lost everything before. memory."

Nala stroked the hair beside her ears with her hands, and said in a slightly melancholy tone, "Maybe I used to be a noble lady in some castle. But it doesn't matter anymore. Now, I'm just the patriarch of the Raven tribe. So Lord Lord, this time I am here for my people. We did not participate in Linia's conspiracy, let alone be against you, so please let those innocent people go back to the forest."

Samwell didn't rush to respond to Nora's request, but looked at her purple eyes and fell into deep thought.

As for Nora's real life experience, he already had a guess.

There are not many families with purple eyes in Westeros. The most famous one is of course the former royal family - the Targaryen family.

But Targaryen has silver hair and purple eyes, and the woman in front of him has dark brown hair.

Moreover, the existing Targaryen are all in exile on the continent of Essos across the Narrow Sea, and it is impossible to appear in the Summer Sea.

There was one woman who suited Nora perfectly.

That is the sister of "Dawn Sword" Arthur Dayne, the dream lover of Eddard Stark, the Duke of the North, and the goddess of the Kingsguard "The Fearless" Barristan Selmy -

Ashara Dayne.

First of all, Starfall City, the territory of the Dane family, is on the east bank of the mouth of the Turbulent River, not far from here.

Moreover, almost ten years ago, after the Usurper War ended, Ed Stark brought the great sword [Dawn] inherited from the Dane family to Starfall City, returned it, and told the "Dawn Excalibur" "The news that Arthur Dayne died in battle in the Tower of Bliss, it is said that Ashara Dayne couldn't bear the blow of her brother's death, and in grief, she jumped into the sea from the top of the White Stone Sword Tower and committed suicide.

However, her body has never been found.

Now it seems that Ashara who jumped into the sea probably did not die, but was rescued from the sea by the former patriarch of the Raven tribe, and lost her memory because of this.

Thinking of this, the way Samwell looked at Nora changed immediately.

As the most important city in the west of Dorne, Starfall City is located on the bank of the Summer Sea, facing Samwell's territory across the sea.

If he wants to get his hands on Dorne, Starfall City is the best step, and Nora in front of him, that is, Ashara Dayne, is a key that can open the gate of Starfall City.

"Madame Nora, I know that you have not participated in Linia's plot, so you will not make things difficult for the warriors of the Roaming Crow Tribe. You can take them away at any time."

"Thank you for your kindness and justice." Nora quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly thanked you.

She was just about to say goodbye when she heard Samwell say again:

"I am here on behalf of the Duke of Metz to develop, and I am willing to provide shelter for all the wildlings. I don't know if the Raven tribe is willing to become my territory?"

"Sorry." Nora refused, "Our Crow Clan only serves the old gods, and we cannot be loyal to a knight who believes in the Seven Gods. If this mountain forest has become your territory, then we can leave as well. The Crow Crow never Occupy the land."

This answer did not surprise Samwell.

After all, no one wants to surrender to someone for no reason.

If it was another tribe, Samwell would either subdue it directly or expel it directly.

But the Crow Tribe, whether it is Nora's real life experience or the Ghost Grass, Samwell cannot easily use violence.

Be gentle.

Samwell smiled slightly and said:

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. However, you don't have to leave. As long as you don't attack my people and don't enter their settlements without invitation, I can ask you to stay in this forest. And, you You can also trade freely with my subjects."

Nora was a little surprised, she really didn't expect this young lord to be so generous.

"You are truly a merciful lord. On behalf of all my clansmen, I thank you!"

"I'm very happy to reap the friendship of the Crow Tribe." Samwell said with a smile, "Oh yes, Mrs. Nora, I heard that there is a ghost grass in the Crimson Mountains. Have you ever seen it?"

Nora froze for a moment, then nodded and said:

"Of course I know. This is a rather rare weed with mysterious spirituality. Only those who are favored by the old gods can find them in the mountains and forests."

Samwell was overjoyed, and then asked:

"Can you help me collect ghost grass? I can pay for it, one silver stag per plant. Of course, if you want to exchange it for grain or other things of equivalent value, that's fine too."

Nora thought for a moment, then said:

"As long as you promise me one more condition, we, the Crow Crow Tribe, will collect Ghost Grass for you."

"What conditions?"

"You and your subjects shall not destroy a single weirwood in the Crimson Mountains."

Samwell was taken aback when he heard this.

Are there weirwoods in the Crimson Mountains?

The weirwood is a sacred tree for believers in the Old Gods.

But he remembered that apart from the northern border, hadn't the weirwood in the south been destroyed by the Andals?

However, since the Crimson Mountain Range is so big, it is possible that some fish slipped through the net.

"Yes. I agree to your conditions. In fact, if you understand it, you will know that I did not force all my subjects to convert to the Seven Gods. They can still voluntarily retain their original beliefs. I also respect your beliefs and will not go to Destroy the weirwood."

"You have a tolerant heart, and the gods old and new will protect you!" Nora smiled.

This negotiation was much smoother than she had imagined.

The young nobles of the Reach were far friendlier than she had expected.

With this guarantee, she didn't have to worry about the destruction of the remaining weirwoods. At this moment, she even sincerely hoped that Samwell's territory would continue to expand so that more weirwoods could be protected.

Moreover, the ghost grass can be exchanged for a silver deer. This exchange agreement can greatly improve the lives of the clansmen.

What a generous lord!
