Chapter 1035
Tarle, wearing a grey, green and blue sackcloth robe, first unfastened the leather bag cheated around his waist and poured the salt water inside on the heads of the fourteen Ironmen participating in the Finger Dance, then lifted the driftwood he carried with him Cudgel, facing the sea, calling out:
"O Supreme God drowned for us, please open your eyes to see all things, and we will sacrifice loyalty and courage to you!"
p>As Tarle's voice fell, Asha, whose hair was wet with salt water, was the first to threw away the hatchet in his hand, the axe spinning into a circle of bright wheels, and the axe blade whistled in the air.
Perhaps there was a lack of food in Long Night, seldom enough to eat, and even less wine. The Ironborn opposite her knew that she was going to play Finger Dance later, but she still drank oneself with flushed face and eyes. blurred.
Facing the flying axe wheel, he stayed for a moment, then hesitantly stretched out his right hand, with a "chi" sound, the axe blade slashed, blood splashed, and half of his palm landed on the beach .
"ao wu, my hand!" The strong stinging pain made him sober from the intoxication, and howling piercingly while holding the severed hand.
"Hahaha..." Asha laughed triumphantly.
Drowned Men's vocals grow louder.
Tarle frowned and waved his hand, and gestured with his eyes to the broken Ironmen: Don't lose Ironborn's face in front of the Dragon Queen.
The other 12 people only glanced here and continued the game of oneself, but the mental strength was unprecedentedly concentrated.
"huhuhu——" The hatchet flew over the fire, and as the rounds passed, the Ironmen on the side were like fanatic fans seeing Maradora, Beric, Crewe Yves, Beckenbauer, Best, Ronaldinho, Messi and other Gods competed in the same field, and they were all excited and cheered loudly.
The contestants were also aroused. As the alcohol in their stomachs began to ferment, they roared and scolded loudly every time they threw the axe vigorously. , the faster and more urgent the speed, even the flames of the fire below also swayed left and right with the axe wheel.
"chi chi chi ——"
"ao, my finger!" Finally, after more than a dozen rounds, someone missed another hand and wanted to grab the handle of the axe, but couldn't. Watch out for the sharp axe blade.
It's as relaxed and comfortable as the anchor who sells kitchen knives cutting meat with a knife. The blade of the axe chops off one third palm, and the thumb and forefinger are attached to a large piece of flesh and blood, falling onto the sand.
"chi chi chi --ao ao ao --" followed by the third, fourth, fifth.
Not to mention the Ironborn onlookers, even Dany, with unfathomable mystery surging blood, would love to cheer along with them.
"Do I have the potential to be an Ironborn too?" She quickly came back to his senses, concentrating on gathering the sacrificial power.
The rich belief strength gushed from the singing Drowned Men priests, and the seven pairs of Ironborn playing Finger Dance, were sacrifices.
Every time a hand is cut off, a strange power bursts out immediately.
The behavior of the Ironborn really pleases the Drowned God.
"roar!" Old Dunstan raised his hands and looked up - Angry Roar.
Unfortunately, his teammate, Earl Stonehouse, was hit in the forehead with an axe and became the first player to lose his life tonight.
"How?" Tarle whispered.
"It's barely enough." Dany nods.Tarle sighed in relief, nodded to the eleven players, and the scene immediately burst into cheers.
The basic rule of Finger Dance is to stand in place, dodge or catch the axe, but not move your feet.
So, Finger Dance doesn't necessarily end when the finger is cut off. If the finger is broken, the palm can still be used. This palm is useless, and you can fight again with another hand.
The key depends on what rules you choose before the game, life and death, or just betting on winning or losing.
Dany just wants to gather enough sacrifice to open the Belief Channel.
Since the abolition of six hands and the death of one person have already opened the passage, there is no need for her to let Ironborn continue to die.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Dany yelled, pointing at a pale Ironborn.
That's Earl Goodbrother's youngest son, Gran.
The guy was wrapping his right hand with linen and kicking his frozen fingers into the fire with his right foot.
“If you don’t burn it, why do you keep it?” Ser Gran said breathlessly.
"Pick it up, it still works," Dany said.
Everyone was puzzled, Asha was shivered, and hurriedly ran into the fire and hooked out the oily severed palm with long leather boots.
“Queen Your Majesty can save even the dead, let alone heal a severed hand?” she said.
The hand-breakers looked towards Dragon Queen expectantly.
Dany didn't say much nonsense, and let Ironborn, who had severed palms and fingers, piece together the severed hands.
Although the beach at minus tens of degrees has frozen, it still slowly regains its activity under the warm Holy Light, and then connects together.
"Drowned God on, this is the Wonders!" an Ironmen exclaimed, clenching his fists hard, "as nimble as ever, like never breaking."
>"No wonder everyone says that Holy Heal is not a panacea, but it is very effective against sword wounds." Priest Tarle was shocked and envied.
If the Drowned Men also Holy Heal, then the Ironborn can play Finger Dance with confidence.
Finger Dance is not a simple game.
Imagine if other navies were boarding with Ironborn, and Ironborn each had two hatchets on his waist, that scene...
Ironborn could It's not a fluke.
"Ah, my hand hurts so much, it's cooked!" Gran wailed as he held up his browned right hand, a faint aroma of barbecued meat wafting from his fingers.
"The surface is scorched, but the inside is still good. Let it rest for a few days and wait for it to shed its skin automatically." Dany endured and said with a smile.
It's like the pig's trotters just taken out of the freezer and grilled directly on the gas stove. Even if the skin is burnt, the ice inside has not melted.
“What now?” Priest Tarle asked.
"I need a guide, how do you usually communicate with Drowned God?"
Like the last time he broke into Cloudy Hall, Dany also needs a stable coordinate like King Euron , to make sure you don't get lost on Space and Time Travel.
A simple Belief Line cannot be used as a coordinate.
Dany breaks into Watery Halls, a bit like Huodu breaks into the tomb of the living dead in "The Condor Heroes".
To communicate with Xiaolongnu in the tomb of the living dead, it is very simple, just stand on Mount Zhongnan mountainside and shout loudly, Xiaolongnu will definitely hear it
But if you want to hear noise to distinguish position (Belief Line), entering the tomb of the living dead to catch Xiaolongnu, but it is a delusion.
Because there are traps near the tomb of the living dead, there are also numerous secret passages in the ancient tomb (there are traps set by space turbulence and Spiritual God near the Divine Country).
But if you let Grandma Sun go and put it behind Grandma Sun, you will be able to break into the tomb.
Earl Stonehouse, who previously died at the Finger Dance, doesn't necessarily make it to Water Gardens, so he can't be a "navigator".
Dany regrets that she cut off Aeron Damphair's head but did not imprison his Soul.
But she doesn't regret it, just like she wouldn't forcibly detain a North Old Gods believer's Soul. Drowned God and Storm God belong to the Old Gods lineage, she is impossible to smash the "oneself little brother" scene.
"To communicate with Drowned God, I go to the beach, stand in the shallows, and pray to the depths of the ocean," Tarle said.
“Have you ever made it?” Dany asked.
Tarle's expression twitched, and he glanced at the surrounding ronmen, gently nodding.
"Tell the truth." Dany said solemnly.
Tarle nods gently, but said with a thin mosquito voice in his mouth: "It doesn't seem to be."
Dany is helpless, "Have you ever received a response from Drowned God in your life? ?"
"Of course, I'm Thrice-Drowned, and I've been in Watery Halls every time I'm flooded." This time, the old priest's tone was firm.
Ironborn has a ceremony similar to Christian baptism called "submerged".
For ordinary Ironmen, just pour seawater on their heads, which is not completely submerged.
To become a Drowned Men, one must go through at least one complete submersion: being held in the sea by another Drowned Men until the breath is gone, and then the Drowned Men will fall into suspended animation (?) The believer dragged him to the beach and rescued him with CPR.
Aeron Damphair is the leader of the Drowned Men because he never misses when he's drowning.
Tarle's "Thrice-Drowned" nickname is also due to the fact that he underwent three submerged baptism. And he can become the heir of Aeron, or because he is the Drowned Men with the fewest misses besides Euron.
In Ironmen's conception, when they were drowned, they had already died once, and Soul traveled to Watery Halls, where he was resurrected again after being blessed by the Drowned God.
"How about you get flooded again?" Dany suggested.
If the old priest didn't lie, then follow his Soul and you will surely reach Watery Halls.
"This..." Tarle hesitated.
If Aeron was alive, he wouldn't mind being submerged again, but with the other Drowned Men, he wasn't so relieved.
Asha saw something, solemnly urged: "Priest Tarle, we are running out of time."
Seeing that the Dragon Queen and all the Ironmen's eyes fell on oneself, Tarle Helpless sighed then said, nodded agreed.
"Priest Norjen, come and help me drown."
Norjen was Aeron's assistant and now Tarle's assistant.
"Hiccup, alright." The bearded Norjen hiccupped, rolled up his sleeves, and stepped forward with drunken eyes.
"Are you drunk?" Smell the strong alcohol smell on little brother, Tarle ugly complexion.
"I haven't had a hard drink for several years." Norjen grinned, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm good at my craft, and I have a 70% success rate!"
Tarle's face became even more ugly, Qiang smiled and said to the Dragon Queen: "The weather...the water is a little cold."
"Is your scalp itchy?" Dany asked indifferently.
Tarle plucked his long, messy hair that looked like he was plucking seaweed, and looked puzzled, "It's really itchy, I have lice on my head."
Dany lifted his chin toward the sea, "If it's itchy, then go down and wash."
"I can't wash it."
"It can be washed." Dany said.
——When a person dies, lice naturally cannot live.
Tarle walks recklessly into the ocean, standing waist-deep.
He shivered coldly.
"God of Supreme, let your servant be reborn from the sea like you! Give him the blessing of sea salt, give him the blessing of stone, give him the blessing of steel." Norjen held his right hand on the He chanted aloud above his head.
Tarle took a deep breath, loudly said: "The dead don't die."
Norjen burped again, grabbed Tarle's hair, and pressed it hard.
"Goooooooo..."
——Grass, the water is really cold!
Fifteen minutes passed before Dany finally saw a light gray shadow floating over Tarle's body.
"As expected of Thrice-Drowned!" With a sigh of emotion, Dany right hand Weirwood walked forward a little.
“weng!”
Consumes nearly one third of the divide power, and finally, a light blue dotted line emerges, and it opens left and right, revealing an oval door.
"Finger Dance winners can enter, hurry up!"
