Chapter 235 The Green Man and the Exploration Mission
The figure moved very quickly, running down the hillside nimbly and breaking into view.
“Rhaegar!”
Rhaenyra was startled, holding Helena with one hand and blocking Rhaegar with the other.
“Hiss…”
The glutton neighed, his eyes fixed on the short figure, and hot water gushed out from his mouth and nose.
The smell it senses comes from this little bug.
Rhaegar held up the torch and saw the face of the visitor clearly through the dim night.
A short, fat old man wearing coarse linen clothes.
Said he was an old man, but he had thick curly black hair and a beard.
“Don't be afraid, he's an old man.”
Turning around, he looked at Rhaenyra who was also confused.
The eldest son Garth Gardener founded the Gardener family and became the first King of the Reach.
Rhaegar was wary, looking at the other person with his eyes, and questioned: "What evidence do you have?"
Rhaenyra's thoughts were spinning and she asked: "What is your last name, and what is the relationship between Garth Greenhand and you?"
“Have you been living on the island?”
It was because of the close intermarriage with the Gardener family and the bloodline of Garth Greenhand that he was selected by Aegon the Conqueror as the newly promoted duke family.
Rhaegar didn't believe it and continued to ask.
Rhaegar took a step forward and softly comforted the frightened sisters.
The fat old man raised his crutches above his head with both hands and said honestly: "My name is Greenhand Garr, and I am the green man who guards the oath of alliance."
“Green man!”
As he spoke, his green bean eyes glanced back and forth at Rhaegar and the three of them, showing his shy belly.
“Green men are green men, there is no evidence.”
To put it bluntly, green men are also human beings.
There are various legends.
As we all know, Qianmian Island is a desert island.
After the Children of the Forest and the Ancestors reached an oath on Thousand Faces Island, the sacred organization "Green Men" was formally established to guard this southern weirwood island.
Human beings have to eat, drink, and drink, and cannot escape from human society.
But those were legends from many years ago.
“There is no food or drink on the island, I will starve to death.”
Rhaegar was startled when he heard this, and lowered his sword hand.
Green Hand is a title.
Lei Jia pulled out the dragon claw and asked coldly: "Who are you and why are you on Qianmian Island?"
Originated from an ancestor king during the Heroic Era.
Green men do not refer to a certain race, but to a mysterious and ancient profession.
He is really a green man, but he has no abilities.
Greenhand Garr was very sincere and said carelessly: "I usually work as a witch doctor in the villages near Harrenhal in exchange for food to fill my stomach."
After hearing Rhaenyra's question, Greenhand Garr scratched his head and said uncertainly: "I don't have a surname. I come from the Reach. I heard the weirwood said that I should become a green man, so I came to the Isle of Thousand Faces."
The Gardener family was destroyed in the Conqueror's War.
Through his blessing, pregnant women can give birth safely and give birth to two or three babies at one time.
He wears a garland of flowers and vines on his head.
He possesses magical powers, and flowers and tender grass grow wherever he passes.
It is said that the king was broad and fat, with antlers on his head, green hair and eyes.
Rhaegar frowned, doubting what he said.
Gars the Green Hand was a king who gave birth to many children.
The Green Man has long since disappeared from the sight of the world along with the Son of the Forest.
The fat old man held a twisted cane made of weirwood branches in his hand, and ran to a few people with his fat body trembling slightly.
The current Guardians of the South, House Tyrell of Highgarden.
With his touch, a girl will have her first period and an old woman will return to menstruation.
That's all.
Green Hand Gal shook his head, his senses were strong.
“As for the relationship between Green Hand Garth…”
After thinking about it, he smiled shyly and said: "There should be a little bit of his blood in my body, so I'm proud of my nickname."
In fact, most nobles in the Reach have more or less the blood of Garth the Green Hand.
One question and one answer to clarify the origin.
Rhaegar frowned and said, "Why do you want to stop me from touching the weirwood?"
“It was the old **** who gave me guidance, but it refused your touch.”
Green-Hand Gal tried to be as serious as possible with a straight face, and said: "Thousand-faced Island is the only fertile land left by the old gods in the south. The dragon will destroy it."
Rhaegar was puzzled and confirmed: "If I touch a weirwood tree, will it destroy Thousand Faces Island?"
What is the logic?
Qianmianyu is just an uninhabited desert island, worthless except for a weirwood tree.
How could he destroy this place?
unless…
Rhaegar's eyes flashed, and he glanced at the last weirwood tree vaguely, thoughts flowing in his mind.
Thinking, he walked a little closer towards the weirwood.
"etc!"
Green-Hand Gal hurriedly stopped, sweating profusely: "Prince, I really have a bad premonition, please stay away from here."
Every time Rhaegar got closer to the weirwood, he seemed to hear a wail coming from the weirwood.
Made him feel confused and numb, and his whole body felt hot.
Rhaegar glanced at him, his palm resting on the last weirwood.
A fat old man appeared out of nowhere, under the guise of the Green Man, and tried to persuade him to retreat with a few words.
It's too childish.
Look at the glutton at this moment, staring at a few weirwood trees with vertical eyes, as if expecting something.
Rhaegar didn't believe in that nonsense about the Children of the Forest, the First Men, and the Green Men.
These guys who have been overthrown by history are legendary.
At his peak, he was not chased by the dragon kings of the Free Fortress Empire and fled all over the world like rabbits.
He is a descendant of ancient Valyria and has the blood of a true dragon who tamed the dragon.
The so-called old gods who are not afraid of being driven out of the south.
The palm of my hand touched the rough bark of the weirwood, and an exploration prompt sounded in my ears.
“This exploration mission has begun, and the target is the weirwood that carries the oath of alliance.”
【Oath Tree】
Exploration progress: 0.1%
There are no imaginary landslides, earth splits, or sun and moon without light.
There is no gaze from the gods or curse from the devil.
All was calm, Rhaegar smiled and stroked the weirwood bark. “Unexpectedly, an explorer mission has been activated.” He was secretly happy.
Green-hand Gal was stunned on the spot, watching this scene with confusion.
“Nothing happened?”
Rhaenyra waved the torch and retorted, "What do you want to happen?"
“No! Not at all.”
Green-hand Gal quickly shook his head and said: "The old gods have been retreating for many years, and I thought there would be an oracle coming down."
He did feel ill, but the weirwood didn't look like there was anything wrong with it.
Listening to the conversation between the two, Rega rolled his eyes and thought of some possibility.
This relic will have an impact on Qianmian Island.
“Rhaenayla, let's stay here tonight.”
Rhaegar took out the spare blanket from the space bracelet.
To maintain the progress of his exploration, he had to rely on weirwood to sleep.
Rhaenyra did not object, and glanced at Greenhand Gal.
Green-hand Gal was very discerning and backed away: "My boat is on the beach, I'll leave now."
The weirwood is fine, there's no point in him staying here.
He reluctantly glanced at a few weirwoods for the last time, then walked into the night with his crutches on his shoulders.
“Hiss…”
Gluttony roared low, and crawled on the ground, guarding beside Rega and the others.
Rhaegar lit a bonfire to keep warm.
Sleeping out in the open with Rhaenyra and Helena.
The next day, in the morning.
The weather is clear and the sun is in the sky.
Sunlight filtered through the dancing red leaves of the weirwood trees and fell on Rhaegar's sleeping face.
“Hiss…”
The roar of a dragon came from the distance, accompanied by the rushing sound of water, waking Rhaegar from his sleep.
Opening his eyes blankly, Rhaegar was still a little confused.
The first image that caught his eye was the weirwood's bleeding, wailing face.
Rhaegar was startled by the sudden ugliness.
Sitting up with a flutter, he rolled to distance himself.
After regaining consciousness, Lei Jia held his hands on the wet soil with a helpless and aggrieved look on his face.
There are a lot of words stuck in my throat and I don't know how to say them out.
Angrily cursed secretly: "What kind of taste does a child of the forest have, carving a human face in this style of painting?"
After a while, the pounding heart calmed down.
Rhaegar lowered his head and saw the blanket wrapped around his waist.
Looking around, the bonfire had been extinguished, and Rhaenyra and Helena had gone somewhere to play.
“This exploration is over, please pick up the treasures from the relics.”
The system prompts sound in your ears.
Lega perked up and called up the system panel to check.
【Oath Tree】
Exploration progress: 100%
Looking at the abominable-looking weirwood, I felt much better now.
Standed up and walked around the weirwood tree
Find a red halo the size of a watermelon on the canopy of trees with lush red leaves.
"found it."
Rhaegar smiled slightly and reached out to touch.
wave~
With a soft touch, the red halo exploded and turned into bright red light spots, blending into his hand.
“The relic was picked up successfully, checking...”
“The test was successful, it was determined to be a legendary relic, and it was slashed and burned.”
“Legendary level, worthy of being an ancient tree that has accumulated over time.”
Rhaegar felt happy and quickly checked.
Vaguely, a sickle and a piece of charcoal came to mind.
With a thought in his mind, he wanted to take out the sickle and charcoal.
“The relic has not been activated yet!”
The system prompt sounds.
Rhaegar hesitated for a moment and looked through the relic reminder of [Slash and Burn Cultivating].
“Knife! Or fire?”
An ordinary line of small characters, concise and to the point.
Rhaegar had a guess, it was probably a multiple choice question.
Looking at the broken bronze sickle, he chose burning charcoal without hesitation.
The Targaryen language is: blood and fire come from the same source.
Choose charcoal that is close to the flame, of course.
The bronze sickle shattered into pieces and disappeared from his mind.
The charcoal ignited with a sizzling sound and burned into a bright red mass.
Lega had an idea and wanted to take out the charcoal.
Charcoal appears out of thin air and floats before your eyes.
Just as Rhaegar was about to reach out and take it, a sudden change occurred.
Bang.
The charcoal exploded instantly, and the carbon ash fell into the soil and merged into the land of the island.
The next second.
Rumble —
The entire Qianmian Island began to shake, as if it was caught in an earthquake.
“Quack, quack, quack…”
The tremor disturbed the lake water, and a group of black swans broke away from the lake water and flew away screaming.
Rhaegar barely stood still, and a sound sounded in his ear.
“Congratulations, slash and burn has been activated, you have obtained…”
【fire that breaks the ground】
Level: Legend (red)
Function: Unearth the flames deep underground, causing subtle changes.
Evaluation: “A one-time fire, fleeting.”
