Chapter 34 “The King of Fire”
Once, twice, he couldn't even remember how many times this kid saved him.
TN, is it really worth saving a dwarf? A dwarf can't give you anything.
When I first met him, he was still a timid boy, standing shivering in the cold wind, thin and helpless. However, he caught his attention because of his good cooking skills.
At that time, in order to entertain him, Mormont specially asked this boy to cook the food. The food was served very late. He was so hungry that he wanted to curse, but after taking a bite, all his anger disappeared.
Tyrion didn't even remember how long it had been since he had eaten the meat he roasted. He was obviously a cook in the castle who cooked for nobles. He was so brave that he wanted to be a knight.
Now that you are a knight, don't give up so easily, Cole. I still want my father to confer titles and fiefdoms on you. Why are you here?
Although Tyrion thought he was used to life and death along the way, his heart still felt as painful as tearing. It had been a long time since he had been so sad for a person. He held back the tears flowing in his eyes,
An occasion like this is not the right time for any tears to fall.
Tyrion said silently in his heart, "I am a born devil with a heart of stone. This man just wants to cling to the Lannister family."
But the more he thought like this, the less he could convince himself.
Friends, friends? He chuckled, trying to cover up the sadness in his heart with laughter.
But Bronn had already seen his red eyes clearly. The man would not shed tears easily. Even if he showed coldness due to restraint, his heart could not really be cold.
As Tyrion grieved, there was an uproar and noise, and all eyes were directed towards the Fire Cave.
A black shadow was gradually emerging from the flames, and the swaying waves of fire caused the shadow to sway together.
All the free people's eyes widened. Is it ten blinks or a hundred blinks? They don't have any unit to measure time. Anyway, it is a long time. No one can live under the fire for that long, even if they have been exposed to it since childhood.
Neither can the painting of fire dogs nor the people of fire.
Many people rush into the flames and only come out within a few seconds. There are white stones everywhere in the grotto. As long as you pick them out, you can prove that you are a decent free citizen and will be welcomed and recognized by the people of the flames.
The figure was getting closer and closer, his eyes were close to the entrance of the cave, and Tyrion was even sure that it was Cole.
Wow~
The flames pulsed again, and the figures were getting closer and closer to the entrance of the cave. Everyone held their breath and focused their gaze firmly on the cave.
The fire snake stung and jumped up and down, and finally, a figure stepped out of the door of flames. He was completely naked, and his hair and eyebrows were completely burned.
I saw him holding a huge stone.
Cole picked up the stone by mistake. Something in the stone seemed to be calling him, telling him: pick up the stone, otherwise he will regret it.
Of course he didn't forget to pick up a white stone.
Bronn's eyes swept from top to bottom, finally stopping at his crotch, and smiled meaningfully.
Tyrion's heart relaxed and he also smiled. This boy is really not young. He needs to find a woman for him when he gets off the mountain.
The old woman standing at the entrance of the cave trembled all over when she saw the stone in Cole's hand. She suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Cole, shouting: "Lord of Fire! Lord of Fire!"
Before Cole and the others could react, all the Painted Dog tribe members knelt down to follow the fire sacrifice.
In an instant, the sound of shouting "Lord of Fire" came like a roaring tsunami, and people kept coming out of the house and kneeling on the ground.
Cole stood helpless, with the scorching waves of flames behind him, and he only felt a chill under his crotch.
The flames seemed to be interested, and a roar of flames erupted from the cave, surrounding Cole's sides, as if to crown him.
"It seems that they have been conquered." Tyrion walked up.
Cole handed him the stone and then reached out to cover it.
As soon as Tyrion caught the stone, he flicked it out instantly, and a large piece of skin was burned on his hand. Why is this damn stone so hot?
The shouts of the freedmen grew louder and louder, and now only four of them, Cole, were standing.
The old priest knelt and walked to Cole's side, and said with tears: "Honorable King of Fire, you have finally favored your people again."
Cole raised his mouth as if he had a toothache, and reached out to help the old woman.
Tyrion stood beside him, tilted his head and shouted as well.
The shouts rose and fell and continued. Even Timei, the son of Timei, the red hand of the Burning Department, knelt down in front of him. He said: "Only the one who takes out the dragon stone from the flames
, you are worthy to lead the people of the flames. You are the real red hand and the king of the people of the flames."
After saying that, he took out the dagger and cut his palm open, "My king, please accept my blood."
He used his other hand to wipe blood on his cheeks next to his empty eye sockets, which were the eyes he had burned off. He was born to fight for the Lord of Fire, not just him, but every Fire People.
.
Belief is really scary sometimes.
Timei raised his hand and said, "Please let Timei, the son of Timei, be your sharp blade, Lord of Fire."
Cole is not interested in becoming the Fire Lord now, he just wants to find some clothes quickly.
Several people who painted the Dog Department also stood up, came to Cole, knelt on one knee, took out the blade and cut the palms of their hands, "Weeping son of many weeping, Pia of Pia, Haran son of Haran, willing."
Be your blade, Lord of Fire."
At this time, the fire priest brought a robe, knelt down and offered it to Cole, "King, please accept the loyalty of the people of the flames."
His mouth opened and closed in shock, and he slowly took the robe and covered his body.
The Fire People can be traced back to the Light Era, when the ancestors ruled the Arryn Valley. The "Fire Lord" is a belief in the entire Arryn Valley. It is said that the flaming sword in the hands of the Bronze King family and the bronze armor on the body are the flaming people.
Given by the king.
However, the Bronze King family has betrayed their ancestors and turned to the gods of the mountain people.
The Lord of Fire would pull out the sword of light from the flames and then repel the enemies from the north. This was a legend passed down from generation to generation by the people of the flames until the fire witch brought a new prophecy about two hundred years ago.
The Fire Witch and her dragon live in the Cave of Trial. The Dragon Stone was left by her. She predicted that the reincarnation of the Fire King will come to the Painting Dog Department again when the ice comes. Pick up the Dragon Stone.
Shi, led the brave free people to regain their homeland.
Every child who has grown up drawing dogs has seen the dragon stone. It was placed there quietly and looked very peaceful. Someone once tried to steal it, but it was burned to ashes by the flames.
Countless people who think they are the Lord of Fire have rushed into the Trial Grounds in an attempt to bring the Dragon Stone out, but only one person has come back alive in the past hundred years.
That person was the Red Hand from the Burning Club who later separated.
PS: This chapter was revised all night and I wrote several versions, but in the end I decided to follow the outline.
Chapter completed!
