189 Qualitative Change

Twin City is the fort of the Frei family in Hejiandi, but it is not limited to one castle, but two.

Two castles guarded at both ends of a spacious stone bridge.

The people of the Fu Lei family live in these two castles every day, and the Marquis of Ward Frey, the head of the family, occasionally come here and occasionally go there - although many great nobles may have more than one castle under their command, the two castles so close are basically the only ones in Westeros.

The main reason for this construction is to facilitate the Frei family to charge a bridge fee and to be more conducive to defense.

Compared with the general history of the Westeros lord family for more than a thousand years, the Frey family was very young, so young that they were only six hundred years old. Even the history of the vassals under their family was longer than theirs.

But although he is "not old", the power and strength of the Frei family are far superior to that of ordinary nobles in Hejian, and are even among the top nobles in Hejian.

There are many reasons, but the root cause is the bridge under the castle and the bridge fee.

Twin River City is located on a huge river called the Green Cha River, which vertically separates the northern border and the Hejian land. It needs to go from the northern border to the Xihejian land. Twin River City is the only river crossing point within a few hundred miles nearby. The importance of the geographical location during the war will not be mentioned yet. The simply collecting tolls has already made the Frei family rich.

In other words, the bridge under the castle is the foundation of the Frei family's survival and the foundation for their growth. However, today, in a fairly clear winter weather, their foundation has been hit by a dangerous collision!

Under the sunshine, a huge wave that could be seen from the naked eye suddenly emerged from the end of the sight outside the castle and rushed towards the Twin City at a rapid speed. The faint sound was like a waterfall hitting a pebble, and it was like the vast river water that had been blocked by a dam for a long time. Now, I finally encountered the opening of the gate and rushed towards me!

Some soldiers who were patrolling the castle walls first discovered this, followed by a group of people in the castle tower. Finally, the news spread rapidly and spread inside and outside the two castles-

People didn't believe it at first because this situation could not even be imagined.

But after seeing it with their own eyes, they had to believe it.

So they panic and screamed and yelled anxiously throughout the two castles—the one who cut vegetables, drinkers, those who had an affair with their great-grandmother, their direct descendants, their descendants, their grandchildren, their servants, their chefs, their soldiers, their little brothers in the horse house…

No matter what identity or what he is doing, he is all panicked by this sudden situation and fled towards the outside world outside the castle, without caring about anything else.

Relying on the custom of collecting tolls in Twin City, the gates of the two castles are not closed, so many people have successfully escaped, but not all of them.

So when the huge waves at the end of the river hit, the group of people who did not escape seemed to be able to vaguely feel a shaking from the ground beneath their feet. Then, under the large amount of cold water falling from the sky, they were directly poured into a chicken.

"It's okay?"

The old Marquis was lucky to be carried out of the castle. When the water was poured over, he happened to arrive in the entrance of the castle, so he avoided the end of falling into the rooster. However, he saw that the descendants following behind were all embarrassed, dripping water all over his body and a look of horror on his face, which made his originally panic suddenly disappear and turn into anger.

"Just just a little bit of storm, you all can't sit still? If I really die, then the Foley family—"

"Run, run, come again!"

His reprimanding was interrupted by a scream of horror. In an instant, many people who had been relieved became panicked again. Even the angry old marquis had no intention of educating his juniors at this moment. He hurriedly signaled his sons to carry him out of this dangerous "home castle" as soon as possible.

Under the sunshine, a huge wave that could be seen from the naked eye once again rushed towards the stone bridge and the two castles on the edge of the stone bridge. Exits at both ends of the castle continued to emerge one embarrassing figure after another.

Then they gathered on both sides of the bridge, staring at their own castle, which was originally very safe, was constantly impacted by the river again and again, watching the waves constantly incite like giants, and watching the fish swimming in the water slap on the castle walls with the impact, the bridge deck and the tower surface, and then fell to the ground and flew continuously...

Looking at all this, every person in the Frei family who escaped was different at the moment. The adults were full of fear and confusion. Some were kneeling and praying and some were spinning in place. Some were crying loudly in the arms of the nurse, while others looked at everything in front of them in surprise. A boy even cheered because he threw a fish at his feet, but he was beaten to cry.

"What's wrong there?"

A farmer who was picking up wheat ears in the field in the distance saw what happened in the direction of Twin City, so he fell into a daze. Several beside him were already scared to kneel down and shouting for blessings from the gods.

Several dusty merchants on the dirt road outside the field also saw everything, some were stunned, while others sat on horseback and gloating.

"Did the gods in the sky finally open their eyes and decide to punish our Master Foley?"

No one responded, and this situation was destined to become an unsolved mystery.

...

There was noisy outside, but no one paid attention to everything in the temple in the Twin City.

When the situation happened suddenly, people were only able to escape, but they forgot a certain original distinguished guest. But when they remembered it, they no longer dared to enter the castle that was swaying faintly with the collision of the river.

At this time, Lan Li was still muttering at the blue flame on his fingers. Every time he muttered, the flame in his hand would shake violently, and an invisible wave would suddenly spread.

If someone sees all this, he will find that the frequency of restlessness of the river outside has a lot to do with the number of shaking of the flame.

However, at this time, let alone someone discovered that even the person involved did not take it seriously. Or, as the invisible fluctuations continued to spread, his whole body seemed to be hit by continuous impact, his thoughts became a little dazed, and the things and emotions in his heart quietly evoked some memories that had been forgotten in his mind for a long time.

"Sir Lanley? Thank you for saving me."

"They said that your Lords of the Dornese and even the Lord's Lady publicly raise mistresses and lovers. Most of them still like the same-sex ones? Is that true?"

...

"Can you imagine the feeling of being slapped in the face with water?"

...

"Come on, we're going to start over. I won't get sick, but you may not be—"

...

"We're leaving here, are you happy?"

"When I return to King's Landing, I can show you a hill named after me, where I am going to build a large garden."

"It's pretty smelly now, but it will get better in the future - why, don't you believe it?"

"Are you scared?"

...

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"I've been used to it for so many years."

"You said your name was Renly when you were in the Dorn Desert, and this name is rare."

...

"Don't worry, it's been more than 40 years, and what should be put down has been put away long ago."

...

"I hate you, Renly."

...

"I hate you..."

...

There were all kinds of noises coming from behind, and finally, a knock on the door suddenly came, which made Lan Li's trance-like thoughts regain, but after looking at the silent woman in front of him, he ignored it.

Losing the crispness and tenderness of the child, the sounds of prayer have become hoarse and faint at some point, but gradually it seems to have become the only sound in this sacred temple.
