The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

Valantis' bridge is magnificent and wide, and it is the king of bridges.

"Man-made Miracle" is one of two books by the famous traveler "Long Legs" Lomas. "Man-made Miracles" records nine man-made miracles in the known world, while another book records seven natural miracles.

On the mainland of Westeros on the other side of the narrow sea, the nine wonders listed in the book "Man-made Miracles" are: the Great Wall in the north; the towering towers in the old town; and Herrenburg in the river.

On the mainland of Essos, the Valyria Avenue from Pantos to the east is one of the nine known miracles; and the long bridge in Valantis is also listed in the book of "Man-made Miracles" in;

The remaining four wonders are the triple wall of the giant eastern city of Quells; the Titan Giant of Braavos whose feet are on two distant islands; the Palace of a Thousand Chambers in Shanas; Kun The three big clocks of Novos, the free trade city where Tin Martell's mother is located.

Valyria Avenue is known to be the longest and straightest road with the best quality in the world, and the long bridge in Valentis is the king of bridges. The width of the bridge deck and the length of the bridge are incomparable to other known bridges.

The Lorne River at the mouth of the sea is surging, and the long bridge connects the east and west cities of Valantis. The span of the bridge is extremely long, supported by huge piers.

The entrances at both ends of the bridge are arches made of black boulders, with carved sphinxes, sphinxes, dragons and other monsters. Will and Arya walked for a while before they walked to the middle of the bridge. They saw rows of spears inserted on both sides of the bridge. People's hands and heads were covered with rows of spears.

The hand is the hand of the thief.

Valantis' punishment for the thief was to cut off his hands and put his hands on the spear in the middle of the bridge.

Arya noticed that there were still dense ropes hanging from the bridge railings. She approached the bridge railings and looked down the ropes. She saw a corpse hanging from each rope hanging down the bridge.

Too many corpses swayed gently in the wind: men and women, old and young. Most of these people’s clothes were tattered, and they knew they were slaves.

On the ground, blood-soaked stone slabs are dark brown. Arya walked on the stone slab, feeling the soles of her shoes sticky and uncomfortable. It was the regained blood after the blood dried up.

The surface of the slate floor is no longer a slate, but a plasma layer formed after blood coagulation.

The Hand of the Holy Fire and Will walked swiftly with their heads down in front, their shoes squeaking and clucking on the sticky plasma layer. Arya didn't know what Will was thinking, she just felt a little chill in the back. She looked down the bridge slightly, and her eyes were all densely swaying corpses.

Countless corpses hung under the bridge, and rows of spears on the bridge were filled with severed hands and heads. Arya felt difficult to breathe, and a decadent smell filled the air, which made her stomach very uncomfortable. She held back her breathing, not daring to vomit. She is a red-robed monk who has lived here for a long time, and may not be uncomfortable with the smell.

This long bridge is very famous. The middle section of the bridge is where the Valantis nobles executed prisoners. Usually, the people who were hanged or decapitated in the middle of the bridge were mostly slaves.

Arya didn't know how she walked through the middle section of the bridge. She admired the hand of the Holy Fire who led the way. There was no discomfort at all. The speed and breathing of walking were no different from those in the Red Temple.

In order to walk across this long bridge, Arya had sweated her underwear on her back, and her small face became purple. Will never looked back, because across the long bridge, soldiers standing straight were watching them.

The hands of the holy fire of the Red Temple and the good monks' robes on them are the long bridge pass certificates. Both ends of the long bridge are crowded with people, and no one has gained the right to cross the bridge so far.

When she finally reached the bridge, Arya turned her head slightly. She heard the sound of horseshoes behind her, and heard the sound of dragons in the sky.

Behind him, on the opposite side of the bridge, there were about eight war horses side by side to clear the way, and the cavalry immediately held up various flags. The central flag was a war elephant flag. Afterwards, Rulin's swords and guns were carried simultaneously, and platoons of cavalry walked up the long bridge. The sound of horseshoes gathered into a torrent, and gradually it was about to suppress the sound of the river running under the bridge.

"It's a big show!" Arya sighed in her heart.

The sound of horseshoes of at least thousands of horses can counter the sound of the surging river that enters the sea, and the sound of running water over the river as more and more cavalry walk on the bridge.

Arya turned her head slowly, and the Hand of the Holy Fire and Will had already crossed the bridge.

Arya hurriedly lowered her head, and the elephant party soldiers guarding the bridge head respected the red-robed monk, quickly gave way and responded with pious eyes.

The three walked into the crowd blocked on the outside of the bridge. Wherever the hand of the holy fire went, people gave way. Many freedmen and slaves had suitable hands for prayer. They regarded the hand of the holy fire and the two red-robed monks as The embodiment of faith.

The belief in the Red God is unmatched in Valantis!

Compared with the West City, the East City is like a garbage dump. Low houses, dumped walls, traces of swords on the ground, black roofs burned by fire, and garbage dumps at the corners of the street, and countless flies are buzzing with incense. The people who came and went were all dressed in plain clothes, and there were quite a few people wearing ragged clothes. They should all be slaves.

Occasionally, I can see some good stone houses and some tall stone towers on the street. Arya estimates that those places are either hotels or places where vendors live. The East City was ransacked by the Dothraki, but there was no need for them to sack. The East City itself was the place where the poor lived, and there was no wealth. The rich and nobles lived in the West City.

After walking for a long time, patrolling soldiers wearing ragged leather appeared in front of them. They also had a variety of weapons, including long swords, axes, iron chains and copper hammers; harpoons, hatchets, wooden sticks and Spear.

These soldiers on patrol saw Will and the three of them avoiding the roadside, and many people offered honorific prayers. After Will and the three of them passed by, these soldiers continued to patrol the road.

Arya finds that the soldiers trust the hand of the Holy Fire and the red robe monk in the Red Temple very much. They judge the authenticity of the clothes by their clothes, and there is no doubt that these three people are impersonating.

The belief in the Red God has reached an incredible level here.

This shows that the prestige of the Priest Benello in the Red Temple by the Lorne River is far higher than that of the Elephant Party consul. The fighters on both sides equally respect and trust the hand of the Holy Fire.

Arya looked far away, front and back, left and right, densely layered, all low and dilapidated stone houses, there are also thatched houses, most of them are being rebuilt, and there are traces of flames on the original places.

Soon, with the sound of horses hooves in front, a group of cavalry came, led by three empty horses. Arya saw that all of these cavalry were in breeches, and none of them were wearing armor. They had scimitars hung around their waists and bows and arrows on their backs. Their appearances were slightly different from those of Valantis, and they were rugged and wild.

Cavalry of the Dothraki? !

The hand of the sacred fire whispered a few words with the leading cavalry, and then got on the horse, and Will and Arya also got on the horse. Arya later learned that Daenerys Targaryen's Cass Cavalry came to meet them.
