Chapter 260: Precursor of the Storm
Hall of Riverrun.
Two monks wearing robes and holding Bibles waited quietly.
From their calm faces, they really looked like devout believers.
There was a sound of footsteps.
The two monks raised their heads and looked at the small hall on the second floor above them.
Almon's figure appears.
The two monks' eyes were slightly bright, and their fingers holding the Bible were slightly firm.
They heard about the changes that took place last night.
Old Tully shouted to stop, pointed at the two monks and yelled: "Look at the good things you two **** have done. You encouraged my children to kill each other and fight for power. You are worthy of believing in the Seven Gods!"
Duke Tully is safe and sound, and the matter of heir will be put on hold.
During the time when the two monks arrived at Riverrun, Milov frequently sent money and goods.
Old Tully looked disgusted and said sternly: "Catch them and search for evidence of their crimes. I will **** these two scoundrels to the Archbishop of Oldtown and hand them over to the Archbishop for trial!"
The two monks screamed and were dragged away by twisting their arms and legs. The Bible in their arms fell to the floor.
“Shut up, you **** bastard!”
Old Tully turned back and glanced at Lord Lemon, and said contemptuously: "Why don't you leave yet? Didn't I give you money and food?"
The terms Komilov promised were tempting.
A group of barbarians who are not engaged in production have the guts to go to the hinterland of the riverlands to capture Riverrun!
Old Tully snorted heavily and dismissed the so-called blessings of the Seven Gods.
Rhaegar and Earl Lemon walked out of the side hall and clapped their hands in relief.
“Seven Gods bless you, Duke Glover, for you to wake up from your illness.”
Milov is a believer of the Seven Gods and the heir to Riverrun, so he deserves their help.
"Ah! I am a believer of the Seven Gods, you can't do this to me!"
“I know, no matter how powerful you are, you are still a pirate.”
A monk clasped his hands together, surprised by the appearance of Old Tully.
Milov is the son of Duke Tully, so there is no problem in saving his life.
Old Tully turned a deaf ear and lectured Almon: "This is how you should treat such a swindling villain."
The two monks looked at each other, thinking about whether to bring up Milov's matter.
If the Seven Gods really bless the Tully family, they should give him a smart and brave heir.
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of soldiers rushed out of the hall.
Old Tully was too lazy to give in and beat him to death with a stick.
Almon walked to the Duke's high seat.
The soldiers looked fierce, held down the two monks, and broke their hands and feet on the spot.
“Yes, sir!”
A monk nodded slightly and decided not to remain indifferent.
In the disbelief eyes of the two monks, old Tully walked over with a stooped waist, supported by two young and beautiful maids.
It has been many years since I came to see him as a prince. When I met him, I always asked for money and food. It was strange that I could treat him so well.
But you cannot interfere in the election of noble heirs.
These two guys are also prostitutes, and there are prostitutes who can testify against them.
Thinking of this, the monk's wrinkled face forced a smile: "Duke Glover, something happened in Riverrun last night. Your second son Milov..."
The two monks undoubtedly violated Old Tully's bottom line.
Old Tully didn't take it to heart and was full of contempt for the ironborn.
They put in a few nice words from it, but they may not be able to do it.
The Church of the Seven Gods is amazing.
Did not sit down, but waited on the side.
“Heavenly Father will never forgive you…”
“Hmph! A mere illness or pain can't save my life.”
For nobles who do not believe in it, the Church of the Seven Gods is a source of great trouble, and such a satisfying solution is rare.
Count Lemon looked serious and said: "I will leave immediately as soon as the money and food are received. However, I still want to remind you that there is a powerful guy in the iron race recently, and he is very restless."
"Old Tully, there's a problem in King's Landing, and I have to leave."
Rhaegar said goodbye with a cold face.
The news of Beaumond's death would reach King's Landing at any time, and he had to go back and prepare in advance.
Old Tully blinked in surprise, but did not hold back. He nodded and said, "Prince, please make a trip this time. I will ask Elmon to prepare a gift and send it to Harrenhal."
Using the prince of a country is not just a matter of using it.
Without compensation, who knows if you will be put in the shoes.
Rhaegar waved his hand: "As you wish, I won't keep you."
After saying that, he said goodbye to Count Lemon and strode down the stairs.
“Prince, wait a minute.”
Just after taking two steps, Old Tully suddenly spoke.
Rhaegar paused and turned back in confusion.
Old Tully's face was tangled, his hand on the crutches was tightening and tightening, and he said in a deep voice: "Prince, do you still remember the Yali Hewen I mentioned?"
Rhaegar glanced sideways and recalled, "Lord Leonor's illegitimate daughter?"
He remembered the woman with green eyes whose **** were as big as those of a cow.
Old Tully mentioned to him once that there was something wrong with that woman, and she seemed to have second thoughts about Lord Leonor.
He was repairing Harrenhal at the time and didn't pay much attention to it.
The only impression I have is that Aly Rivers sneaked into his bed before moving away from Harrenhal.
He thought it was an assassin who entered the room and almost killed him.
Old Tully looked a little nervous and lowered his voice: "Prince, that is not Lord Leonor's illegitimate daughter. She was once Lord Leonor's wet nurse."
“What!?” Rega was stunned when he heard this, thinking he heard wrongly.
Yali Hewen looks to be about thirty years old, her skin is fairer and smoother than that of a young girl, and her face has no wrinkles at all.
With this appearance, how could she be Lord Leonor's wet nurse? Lord Leonor is at least in his forties and can be his wet nurse, at least sixty years old.
If this were the case, wouldn't Aly River's age be traced back to the period of her great-grandfather Jaehaerys I?
A frozen old woman?
Old Tully looked serious and said: "I found out from the old servant of the Strong family that that woman was not only Lord Leonor's wet nurse, but also fed Lord Leonor's two heirs."
“She has maintained her appearance until she was about thirty years old. It is said that she was obtained by bathing in the blood of a young girl. She is probably an evil forest witch.”
Rhaegar took a breath, a bit shocked.
So, he was actually climbed into bed by an old woman like a grandma?
“Seven hells! Fortunately, I am loyal.”
Rhaegar secretly rejoiced, remembering Rhaenyra's tenderness.
He was a little queasy when he thought of the old woman's shameless sweet words.
Old Tully lowered his face and said complicatedly: "That woman is very dangerous. I suspect that she has had bad intentions towards Lord Leonor."
“The last sighting of her was half a year ago.”
“She is missing?” Rhaegar asked in surprise.
It is not a good thing for such a dangerous woman to hide in the dark.
Old Tully shook his head: "I don't know her whereabouts, but according to the servants of the Strong family, Ari Rivers has a close relationship with Larris Strong."
“She probably sensed someone investigating and went to Larry Strong.”
Lega's eyes flickered, and he unconsciously held the dragon claw at his waist.
Laris lives in the Red Keep all year round and serves as the king's inquisitor.
Ali Hewen defected to Laris, wasn't it hidden in the Red Keep?
Old Tully was obviously aware of this and warned: "Prince, regardless of whether Aly River is a forest witch or not, you should not get too close to the royal family."
He is a traditional and stubborn person.
In his eyes, magic has always been a dangerous thing.
A witch rumored to use the blood of young girls to maintain her beauty is even more of a thorn in his side.
Had he not discovered that Ari Hewen was unfaithful to Lord Leonor that time, he would not have paid attention to investigate.
Hearing this, Rhaegar took a breath and said gratefully: "Thank you very much, old Tully."
He himself has some extraordinary powers and knows the horror of magic.
The news spoken by Old Tully is important to the royal family.
“You need to pay more attention, prince.” Old Tully reminded him worriedly.
“Okay, I understand.”
Rhaegar nodded, turned and left.
Muttered silently in my heart: "Yali Hewen...the forest witch..."
The last time I heard about the forest witch was the Shadowbinder incident I experienced on Crab Claw Peninsula when I was 6 years old.
The forest witch's notebook was still fresh in his mind.
A kind of magic that allows you to sense vegetation and listen to sounds.
A magic that cultivates the talents of shapeshifters.
The last one is the necromancy magic of resurrecting the head of the dead.
Very weird.
At noon, the sun is shining brightly.
“Hiss…”
The dark dragon shadow broke through the thin clouds and hovered over the Divine Eye Lake.
Below, facing the Qianmian Island where the majestic Dragon's Nest stands.
After three years, the area of Qianmian Island has increased, which is attributed to the persistent movement of the earth's crust.
The dragon's nest was built on the north bank of Qianmian Island, dark as a mountain with holes.
On the south bank of Qianmian Island, a pier was built for ships to berth.
The central area where several weirwoods originally grew, the lush green vegetation was cleared away, and a palace building made of white stones was built.
Inside the building, there are pools of hot springs emitting water mist, and the steam is billowing.
Several weirwoods took root at the bottom of the hot spring, and the red leaves no longer grew. The maester judged it to be dead.
After all, what I heard was filled with sulfur and other minerals, and it was soaked in high temperature.
Even weirwood trees have a hard time surviving.
At this moment, Rhaegar was naked and soaking in a pool of bubbling hot springs.
He had a good rest last night and went to the hot spring to relax first.
Rhaegar closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling slightly while soaking in the hot spring water, and his breathing was smooth and strong.
It looks like he is probably asleep.
Unconsciously, the dream comes.
In the daytime, on the wide sea.
There are no waves on the sea surface, seabirds are flying in flocks, and the salty sea breeze blows, revealing the slightest smell of blood.
“Hiss…”
An angry dragon roar was heard, spreading across most of the sea.
Lega observed from a special perspective and saw a huge dragon rushing into the sky.
On the back of the giant dragon, there was a small silver-haired child, whose face could not be seen clearly.
“Hiss!”
Another dragon roar sounded, the clouds on the horizon rolled, and a dragon tail with green scales flashed past.
Boom—
One gold and one red dragon flame collided, setting off thick clouds and spraying out scorching hot sparks.
“Hiss…”
Suddenly, another smaller dragon flew from a distance and joined the dragon fight on the clouds.
This giant dragon has dark red scales, a slender horn crown, and ferocious dark vertical pupils.
Rhaegar secretly clenched his fists and stared at the dragon.
This dragon is about the same size as the Red Queen Melias and the Bloodworm Coraxio.
But Rhaegar was sure that it was definitely not one of the two dragons.
This is a dragon that I have never seen before.
