"After the long summer, the stars cry blood, and the icy darkness will cover the world. At this terrifying moment, there will be a king who will draw a burning sword from the fire. Whoever has this sword is Azor Ahai reincarnated, and he will become the only king in the world, and he will save the world and drive away the darkness."

Chapter 0169 "The King's Sword"

Azor Ahai is a legendary hero.

According to Asshai legend and R'hllor's followers, he possesses a flaming sword - the Lightbringer.

But in fact, about the end of the long night, there is a hero image in various cultures, but the hero's name is not the same.

The planet in "A Song of Ice and Fire" revolves completely different from the earth. Summer and winter often last for several years, and after winter comes, the Seven Kingdoms will face a kind of darkness from the north called the White Walkers. biological invasion.

The White Walkers were tall and withered, with pale skin and eyes as deep as ice.Their reflective armor changes color as they move, and their weapon is a longsword made of extremely cold ice crystals, which instantly freezes objects it touches into ice sculptures and shatters them.They hate the living, and will brutally kill all living things they see, and can turn dead people or animals into ghouls, that is, moving corpses.

According to legend, 8000 years ago, during the winter that lasted for a generation, in that long dark age known as the Long Night, the White Walkers first came to the world, causing great chaos and war in Westeros. .Almost wiped out the entire population of Westeros.In the end, under the leadership of Azor Ahai, who held the "Bringer of Light", the First Men and the Children of the Forest worked together to defeat the White Walkers in the Battle of Dawn and drive them back to the land of Everwinter, and the "Fortress" Brandon Build the Great Wall to prevent them from going south again.It was at that time that the Night's Watch Legion, which was responsible for guarding the Great Wall, was established.

And after that, the ancient book of Asshai predicted: After the long summer, the stars cry blood, Azor Ahai will be reborn in the land of smoke and salt, and awaken the dragon in the stone.

Now, legends are appearing in front of people.

After that, knights, nobles and adventurers kept coming here, they thought they were the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, and wanted to try to draw this sword to gain power and status, but no one succeeded, All who tried were killed.

However, the power is attractive, and more and more people come here to try to draw their swords, among them there are many noble nobles or mercenary heads. .

Soon, the city lord of Pantos, the female Kaodaenerys, responded. She sent cavalry to surround the place. Sword-drawers were not allowed to enter, and only scholars were allowed to visit.

But unexpectedly, she did not own the sword alone - although it appeared on the outskirts of Pentos, she had every right to do so - but announced that a drawing would be held in a month's time. The ceremony of the sword, and all knights and nobles who think they are qualified to draw the sword are invited to participate and try to draw the sword in the presence of everyone.

She even announced that the appearance of the sword was an instruction from the Dragon God, and that anyone who could draw the sword was the savior recognized by the Dragon God, and she would give up all her positions to assist the savior so that he could complete the savior granted by the Dragon God. mission.

As soon as this declaration came out, in the eyes of all the careerists, it was like a marriage revelation-in their eyes, Daenerys, the little girl, was just a fluke in the dragon's wedding at her wedding to Khal Drogo. He survived the attack, but was regarded by the ignorant Dothraki as the agent of some dragon god, and worshiped as the new Kaa, and then he was lucky enough to get Pentos, who was attacked by the dragon.But the little girl is a little girl after all, and she has no ability to govern one party at all. She has to find a way to find a husband who can entrust her, and give her everything and the hope of returning to the country to that person.

A little girl always depends on a man.

However, this is indeed a good opportunity, a chance to gain both wealth and wealth, and one step to the sky. If anyone is lucky enough to draw this sword, he will not only have the name of the reincarnation of Azor Ahai, but also immediately get a The city's fief, a Dothraki army of Kharatha, and de jure dominion over the Seven Kingdoms.

Under such circumstances, careerists from the entire Free Trade City-state responded to Daenerys' call, and they gathered in Pantos to prepare for the ceremony a month later.

In fact, there were indeed quite a few people who came to hear the news. There were several mercenary groups alone, including the "Second Son Group" led by Melo, the "Wind Blowing Group" led by "Prince in Raggedy Clothes", and those with Pulan. The "Storm Crows" led by Dar Na Gison, the bald Salo and Dario Nahalis, the Golden Corps led by Harry Strickland, etc., as well as some governors and from Victoria Nobles of Stello.

In the month before the sword-drawing ceremony, Pantos ushered in an unprecedented prosperity, a large number of foreign population brought a large amount of consumption, and Pantos' new products: glass products and porcelain, through this few The official publicity will begin.

Most of these careerists from all over the world are well-informed and have extensive contacts, but they have never seen such exquisite and beautiful luxury as glass and porcelain, so the businessmen of Pantos made a fortune, but the most Importantly, glass and china were publicized by the arrival of these mercenaries and nobles, and when they left Pentos, new luxuries from Pentos would sweep the Free City with them.

In addition to the ambitions who are trying to pull up this "Bringer of Light", inheriting the name of Azor Ahai, and scholars who hope to study the history of [-] years ago through this sword and this stone, the "Bringer of Light" also attracts Another group of people was the priests of various sects.

"Azor Ahai." As a legendary hero, prophecies about him widely exist in various sects in the world of "A Song of Ice and Fire", and he is most admired by the Lord of Light and the Lord of Holy Flame. The god of heart, shadow, and fire, the sect of R'hllor, and the prophecies in the ancient books of Char were enshrined by the priests of R'hllor.

Now that the "Bright Messengers" are born, how can they not attract them?They will at least come here to confirm the authenticity of the "bringers of light".

And the priest R'hllor who came here this time was a red-robed woman named Melisandre.

Melisandre is a beautiful woman with a heart-shaped face, red eyes, copper-red hair, and a heat exudes from her body.Melisandre doesn't need to eat like a mortal, and the Lord of Light alone suffices for the energy she needs.She claims to have gone through "innumerable" years to improve her abilities, so there's a good chance she's older than she looks.

In the original, after the death of King Robert of the Seven Kingdoms, Melisandre persuaded his brother Stannis Baratheon to burn down all the statues of the Seven on Dragonstone in his domain.She then declares Stannis to be Azor Ahai Reborn, asks him to draw a sword from the fire, and declares the sword to be the legendary Lightbringer.

In fact, Ye Ting is playing the same routine as her now.

But Ye Ting is much smarter than her. Melisandre's ability can only make a luminous sword, but this sword can't produce any flame, but Ye Ting is different. The sword he made really has a golden flame. , this kind of flame is radiant and everything burns, even the legendary "bringer of light" can't be stronger than it.

What's more clever is that Ye Ting doesn't have to direct and perform a sword-drawing drama at all. Since his magic level is high enough, he can let all those who are willing to draw swords participate in it. The greatest prestige, and recognized by all.

Of course, Ye Ting has another purpose, and that is the belief of the entire R'hllor.

Chapter 0170 Dragon God and R'hllor

When Melisandre walked up to the boulder, she was truly shocked.

She was certain that the red sword burning with golden flames in front of her could never be man-made.

Melisandre considers herself the top magician in the whole of Asshai, at least in R'hllor's sacrifice, no one is better at using the power of magic than her.And the "Land of Shadows" Asshai itself is a city immersed in magic. There is no more magician than Asshai in this world. R'hllor is the largest faith in Essos. The world is second only to the Church of the Seven Gods, that is to say, Melisandre herself can be regarded as a person standing at the peak of magical power.

Even with her strength, she still can't see the principle of this sword, and she can't create an imitation with its own power. Does this still not prove that this sword is a creation of God?

This sword is the legendary "bringer of light" of Azor Ahai, the prophecy is about to be fulfilled, and the reincarnation of Azor Ahai is about to come.

She was determined to witness this scene, and to assist the reincarnation of Azor Ahai in his mission.

So she knelt down in front of the boulder and silently recited the prayer.

"We mortals, living alone and dying alone, are at a loss, wandering in the valley; fortunate to have compatriots, to gather and travel, fortunate to have Allah, and the blessings overflow me."

Suddenly, she felt that she was surrounded by darkness.

It was obviously only broad daylight, and the sun was still shining overhead, but in her eyes, all the light disappeared, only the sword on the boulder in front of her still glowed brightly.

She immediately became vigilant, stood up, and looked around vigilantly.

The darkness was quite deep and strange, as if some monster would emerge from it at any time and devour her.

Suddenly, she shouted: "Who is it?"

In the darkness, a young man walked out. She felt that the young man was only fifteen years old at most. He was quite handsome, with black hair and black eyes, wearing gorgeous clothes that he had never seen before, with a faint smile on his face, but this smile But it gave her considerable pressure, as if a boulder was pressing on her heart.

However, as soon as the young man approached, she felt the excitement all over her body, and she felt that her magic power immediately became a little stronger.

"Who are you?" she asked, resisting the pressure in her heart and the attraction in her body.When she said this, she felt that she was no longer the priest of R'hllor, whom all believers admired, but just a small mortal who was brazenly questioning a great being.

"I am the Messiah, your light, and your savior, who will save the world from darkness. I am the messenger of God, who came to earth to select shepherds, and shepherd the lambs for him."
