Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 346 Cold Burial Valley

Stannis knew the wedding was inevitable, and all he could do now was to make sure he survived the chaotic event, and everyone else if he could.

As the master of ceremonies of this wedding, although he was very reluctant, he still planned to go to the chapel where Robert said that the wedding ceremony would be held in advance to inspect the venue. .If someone lays an ambush over there in advance, then he will be wiped out.

Stannis took Robert on the road. In order to keep the trip secret, they did not tell anyone, but set off lightly.

The two of them crossed the territory of the Dill family in the center. The commoners migrated back after hearing that the last wedding was not held. Stannis couldn't wait to know what they would do when they learned that their lord was planning to marry in secret. what expression.

After passing through the stag's house, they continued to drive towards the next target without stopping. This time it was the territory of their father-in-law Frode, but Stannis didn't bother to visit his fiancée and father-in-law, they just watched from a distance. He glanced at Baili City and crossed under it.

At last they arrived at their destination, a no-man's land between Garcia and Frode, called Cold Burial Valley on the map.

"Why is this place called Cold Burial Valley? This name is really unlucky." Stannis said shivering on the grassland. For some reason, when he entered this valley surrounded by raised mountains, he felt the temperature drop a lot. , is completely different from the warmth of spring outside the valley, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers. This place is cold and silent, as if the god of spring has forgotten this place.

Robert sniffed, and he was too cold, "So this is called Cold Burial Valley! It is said that this place used to be an inland lake standing on the ground. It was originally called Tianci Lake, but during the battle of the gods, the lake here was destroyed Jiang's anger evaporated, so it was renamed Tiancidi, and then it became what it is now."

"Although it's really great to have something to do with the Age of Mythology, it doesn't have to be so cold!" Stannis rubbed his hands against his body to keep warm, "By the way, what do you mean this is No Man's Land? Such a large piece of land No one is greedy for the site!"

Although this is a valley, it occupies a very wide area, and the soil quality looks good, the surface is covered with moss. If his own territory is adjacent to this place, he will swallow it without hesitation.

"That's why this place is also called the land of heaven! Not only do you think this is a good place, but everyone knows that it is a good place, so there have been many lords fighting over the ownership of this land in history, just in the last hundred years , there have been at least 50 wars with a scale of more than [-] people, and there are countless dead people buried here. It used to be the first scenic spot in Tanis, but because too many ghosts of dead people lingered here, they disappeared all year round. Sunshine turned into this ghost in the end."

Robert continued: "In order to prevent more people from dying here, the former duke invited all the lords to sign the terms 20 years ago, announcing this place as a neutral land and changing its name to Cold Burial Valley. No one can claim the right to rule over this place. , so everyone finally gave up the fight for this place, and acquiesced that no army should appear here."

"Then since there is no lord ruling here, it means that there is no need to pay taxes, but why haven't I seen a single farmer here?"

Robert didn't speak, but took out his sword and answered Stannis' question with practical actions.He directly used his sword to pick apart the thick moss, revealing the bones hidden underneath.

It turns out that the people buried here are all the dead from the past, no wonder it is called a cold burial place, it is simply a huge open-air morgue!

Under every inch of land here, there are at least five dead people buried in layers, making the valley uncultivable for a long time. This may be the reason why most lords abandoned this place.

Looking at this horrific scene, Stannis could only feel a chill behind him, is it really okay to get married on a wasteland of bones?

"Okay, Boss, don't waste any more time, let's go see the pastor, I'm afraid it will be too late!" Robert got on his horse and urged.

"Too late? What does this mean!" Stannis was at a loss.

An hour later, he knew why the younger brother said this.

What appeared in front of him was a church, but judging from its crumbling state as it fluttered in the wind, this church that could be called an antique looked like its days were numbered.

Stannis even doubted that a moderate to heavy rain this evening could completely wipe the cathedral from the world.

Hearing the sound of horseshoes outside the door, the pastor of this church came out. He really fit Robert's description. He was a complete alcoholic, with disheveled hair, dull eyes, and black spots on the corners of his mouth that were not wiped clean. Feather, if he wasn't wearing a black robe, Stannis would have turned around and walked away.

"Pastor Chacono! I'm here again!" Robert, on the other hand, didn't mind the image of the other party, and greeted him cheerfully.

But the pastor just raised his drooping eyelids and held out his hand to Robert, "Shall we bring the wine we agreed on earlier?"

Robert took out two bottles of liqueur and threw them to him, "No, it's just a deposit, and the rest will be paid after you preside over the wedding."

The pastor didn't seem to be listening to him any more, he just took off the cap of the wine and impatiently drank half of the bottle, then heaved a long sigh of relief.

Taking advantage of this time, Stannis has already turned around the dilapidated church, which is located in the center of the cold burial valley. From here, there are large plains in all directions, and there is no place to hide, at least in terms of openness. It's very good here, if there are enemies coming, you can find them in time.

Stannis turned back again, and found that the priest named Chucknow had drunk all the two bottles of wine they brought, and was belching contentedly there.

The lord is very dissatisfied with the look of the other party, but according to the current situation, only drunkards or lunatics dare to witness the marriage of the couple. Even if he is dissatisfied, he can only let this guy be a witness. long time?"

Chakno patted himself on the forehead, and after a while he said: "It will take 10 minutes or 15 minutes. You know that my business here is not very good recently, and I have almost forgotten my wedding speech."

It seems that the pastor is not so pious to call such a sacred religious ceremony a business, "Well, even if you spend 15 minutes saying the congratulatory speech, then spend another 5 minutes arranging the seats, and another 10 minutes to bless the newcomers, this A wedding is due in half an hour!"

"Boss, it's too soon. We still have dinner? Pastor, the wedding package you told me last time doesn't include the dinner?"

Charnock burped again and said, "Add another case of wine for the wedding dinner, and the main course is crow soup."

Stannis waved his hand, just thinking about what those crows ate to survive was enough to make his stomach sick, and he complained loudly as he walked back, "I don't know how that priest can drink Lingding Dao during the day Drunk! What the hell!"
