Chapter 1033
In the normal period of Kingsmoot, Ironborn entered the prime time of rapid development.
Almost every generation of Iron King is the most pious Ironborn, the most powerful Warrior and the most wise and decisive Corsair King.
Bear Island in House Mormont in the north and Arbor in House Redwyne in the south are all Ironborn sites.
As long as there is a sea city, you can see the traces of the Ironborn pirate ship.
Kingsmoot not only unifies Ironborn's strength, it also eliminates the wear and tear of infighting.
Before Kingsmoot, every island was a kingdom, and there were often two Kings in a kingdom: Rock King, who ruled the island, maintained justice, made laws, and resolved disputes; Salt King, in charge of Sea Territory, no matter what. When the long ship goes to sea, he commands it.
Generally speaking, Rock King and Salt King will come from the same family, father is Rock King, experienced, sitting on the island; son is Salt King, young and strong, full of energy, go out to loot.
This is the same principle as the "kings patrolling hunting, Crown Prince supervising the country" in the celestial dynasty, except that Ironborn has to go out to kill or be killed, which is a high-risk and high-physical work, so he always let his son go out. Dad guards the house.
Because they belong to different kingdoms, even if they are both Ironborn, there are often wars between Ironmen.
It wasn't until Age of Heroes, a great High Priest known as Galon Whitestaff, in the Drowned Men.
Well, the old priest liked to hit people with Weirwood canes, so everyone called him "Whitestaff".
Whitestaff created the Kingsmoot system and enacted a series of laws for the Ironborn not to rob each other of women, and not to plunder each other's shores.
In this way, the Iron Islands became the first unified kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms.
Well, in Age of Heroes, the Seven Kingdoms have not yet formed, the kingdom on the continent stands in great numbers, and the City Lord of a castle dares to call himself King.
Dany goes upstream again on the River of Time, and although I don't see Kingsmoot, generations of Drowned Men hold Priest events at Grey King's Hall, and generations of Salt Kings and Rock Kings put on their thrones The crown, until...
About 14,000 years ago in the Dawn Age, in the age of the Grey King, she saw the Drowned God.
"It's not simple to want to meet you." Dany sighed.
The sudden voice startled the mermaid who was extracting Nagga's divinity.
"Who?"
...
In legend, after the Grey King killed Nagga, the Drowned God turned Nagga's bones into fossils , which became the beams and columns of Grey King's Hall.
Grey King's Warriors gather around a huge starfish-shaped table to eat from the ocean, and their seats are made of mother-of-pearl.
The Grey King sits on a throne made of Nagga mouth, with a lantern made of Nagga fire above his head.
Tinder keeps Grey King's halls always warm.
Later Grey King entered Watery Halls, Storm God extinguished Nagga's fire, brocade and throne were stolen, Grey King's Hall gradually declined.
There are two points in this legend that are easily overlooked by mortals, but they involve the secrets of the Drowned God.
First, Drowned God turned Nagga's bones into stone; second, Grey King collected Nagga's fire, which was eventually extinguished by Storm God.
What is Nagga's Tinder?
To understand this, we must first understand who Nagga is.
A long time ago, when Dany first crossed over, he flipped through the "Westeros Tales" that Big Bear gave to the original owner Daenerys.
Well, Big Bear is so poor that he can only give Daenerys a storybook as a wedding present.
In "Story Collection", there is the story of Grey King beheading Nagga.
At that time she thought, as it should be by rights, that "Nagga" was a racial title, and "Sea Dragon" represented a branch of dragon.
Later, as her understanding of the world deepened, what she thought as it should be by rights became uncertain.
Except for the sea dragons of the Iron Islands, there is no other legend of sea dragons in this world.
This is not normal.
Like dragons, they were exterminated once before the last Long Night, and it was not until 6,000 years ago that Valyrian resurrected a new dragon with Blood Sorcery.
It is said that dragons are also very rare, but the skeleton fossils of dragons have been found all over the world, including inside and outside the Westeros Wall.
In some areas, fossil dragon eggs can still be excavated.
Dragon's dive soul merges with the fire magic power in the body, which can be called fire. If Nagga were pure water system creatures, there should be no fire.
......
More than 14,000 years ago, in Old Wyk, the dragon corpse with a body length of more than 100 meters was lying on the Wuthering Hills.
sun shone brightly, bright sun and a gentle breeze, deep blue dragon scales reflect bright light.
Ironborn, armed with bronze and obsidian weapons, dances a sacrificial dance around the dragon corpse, occasionally crouching down, scooping a ladle of hot, clear dragon blood from the ravine and pouring it on oneself's head.
The king of Ironborn is a sturdy middle-aged man with a crown of driftwood, his beard, hair and eyes as grey as the sea in winter.
"Long live Grey King, long live Grey King!" Ironborn's eyes were frantic, as if he was the Spiritual God of oneself.
Grey King stands on the nose of the sea dragon, arrogant and condescending.
Then, he held the hilt of the iron sword inserted between the sea dragon's eyebrows.
It was a great sword with a peculiar style. With the hilt, it was more than three meters tall. It stood upright in front of it and could cover the face. The spine of the sword was almost as thick as the sole of the foot. The blade was black and cloth. Full of uneven gaps.
"puff!" The blade was pulled out, and the hot blood was sandwiched with white's juice, spraying Grey King all over.
"Paramount God, this is your sacrifice!" Grey King, who was nearly 2.5 meters tall, raised his three-meter-long sword, but he did not violate the harmony at all.
"Boom--" Not far away, the sea water exploded with waves ten meters high, and all the Ironborn stopped singing and looked over in awe.
The sea water beside the beach came to life, gurgling ashore against the current, like a red carpet, spreading up to the top of the hill.
A majestic and tall Spiritual God floated up from the water. He had strong features, handsome facial features, motionless feet, and his body automatically flowed to the top of the mountain along the running water carpet.
"Supreme God, my paramount lord..." Ironborn one-knee kneels to the ground, swinging his weapon, shouting frantically.
The handsome man returns an approving smile.
"My lord, fortunately not to be disgraced." Grey King knelt on the ground, holding the iron sword to the top in both hands.
"Very good!" Drowned God laughed, taking the iron sword and watching it carefully.
"roar!" A roaring blue dragon suddenly appeared on the blade, "Goldfish, Lord God will not let you go!"
"Hahaha, a foreigner for you Dragon God, the old wood will be sulking for thousands of years at most, and it will never kill me.
I have long been upset with him, so let him be angry. The more angry he is, the happier I am.
As for you, if your skills are not as good as others, just accept your fate. Let me devour and fulfill my Song of Water and Fire, as well as destiny." Drowned God laughed proudly.
"Buzz—" A bloody glyph network appeared on the surface of the Black Sword, and the blue dragon wailed and disappeared.
Hanging the sword on oneself's waist, Drowned God's eyes couldn't hide the greed and anticipation, and reached out to the sea dragon's eyebrows.
"gu gu gu!" The sound of rushing water came out of the sea dragon corpse, the scales gradually dimmed, the dragon corpse's flesh became gray, and finally turned into gray dust, which went away with the wind, leaving only Under the golden giant dragon bone frame.
The Ironborn backed away in horror.
The golden glyph flows on the skeleton, like a stone painted with golden paint, placed in the rain, the paint peels off, revealing pale fossil bones.
"Ah!" Compared to the misery of the sea dragon, the Drowned God's cheeks were flushed and his imposing manner rose sharply.
"It's not easy to meet you." Suddenly, a melodious female voice appeared in Drowned God's ears without warning.
"ding dong..." The female voice is like a stone falling into the water mirror, rippling, and the scene in the picture becomes blurred and wrinkled in the ripples, in the eyes of Drowned God The ecstasy disappeared, became fierce and cold, turned back, and solidified the Dragon Queen who was "apart from a wall".
The camera changes, and the picture is divided into two.
The sunny, handsome and dignified man on the left put one hand on the sea dragon's eyebrows, turned his head and looked towards the right; on the right side of the screen, under the dim sky, the Dragon Queen sat on the throne of dragon bone, his eyes looked towards the front.
Bright colors on one side, dark and gloomy on the other, Drowned God and Dany looked at each other across the rippling River of Time.
"Your 'sister and brother alliance' is an insult to me, I refuse, don't bother me again in the future!" Drowned God coldly said.
Dany stood up, stepped out, crossed the dividing line of rippling water, and came to the beach opposite the sun shone brightly, blue sky, clear water, white sand, and nothing more beautiful can be imagined.
Dragon Queen circled around the sea dragon's corpse, and finally looked towards Grey King, whose eyes moved with her.
"Yes, I can still detect me." She said with a smile.
At this time, the Old Wyk on the summer beach seemed to press the time to pause, the wind stopped, the flying waves hovered in the air, the white seagulls seemed to be painted on the blue sky, Ironborn's expression was constant, and the movements stopped .
Only Grey King, although unable to move even a little bit, his eyes are turning, the muscles on his face are twitching slightly due to the force, and even sweat emerges from the pores, but it stops on his forehead, no Fa slid down his cheek.
Drowned God looked at her coldly without saying a word.
Both of them don't travel through time and space.
The Nagga's Hill 14,000 years ago was like a server, Dany logged in first, Drowned God was touched, and he logged in as well.
So, the two had a "face-to-face" online communication based on the event of sacrificing sea dragons 14,000 years ago.
"It turns out that 'Nagga' is the same as 'Big Black'.>
Alas, finally, a genius who understands Principle appeared in the stupid dragon family, but it was destroyed by you." Dany sighed.
"Do you feel sorry for this evil creature?" Drowned God sneered, "Do you know why dragon became extinct at the end of the previous era?"
He kicked the sea dragon a few times on the forehead , sarcastically: "The reason why Nagga hid in Westeros is because she ate all the dragons in Essos continent."
Dany frowned, "So, dragons are extinct because of you? You killed the last dragon. ."
"Uh..." Drowned God choked, angrily said: "I don't want to fight with you. Go away, we are impossible to cooperate."
"I am stronger than you and have a brighter future than you. Follow me and you will have a better future, why not acknowledge allegiance?" Dany asked curiously.
"If a mortal said the same thing to you in ten thousand years, what would you do?" Drowned God asked rhetorically.
Dany thought for a while and said, "I will slap that dog that cannot tell good from bad to death."
Drowned God's mouth twitched a few times and said in a muffled voice : "If that's the case, why do you force others to be difficult?"
Dany said confidently: "We are different, everyone has different situations, you have to be down-to-earth and recognize the reality!
The reality is, I can kill you, but you can't hurt me."
"You can try."
