Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 1035 Breaking into the Palace of Flowing Water
Thaler, who was wearing a gray, green and blue coarse cloth robe, first untied the leather pouch hanging on his waist, splashed the salt water inside on the heads of the fourteen ironmen participating in the finger dance, and then raised the driftwood he carried with him The stick, facing the sea, cried out:
"O supreme god who was drowned for us, please open your eyes to see all things, and we will sacrifice loyalty and courage to you!"

As Thaler finished speaking, Asha, whose hair was splashed with salt water, was the first to throw out the hatchet in her hand. The ax turned into a circle of shiny wheels, and the blade whistled in the air.

Maybe there was a lack of food during the long night, and she seldom had a full meal, and she rarely saw wine. The iron species opposite her knew that she was going to play finger dancing later, but she was so drunk that her face was flushed and her eyes were blurred.

Facing the flying axe wheel, he froze for a moment, then hesitatingly stretched out his right hand, and with a "chi", the axe blade slashed across, blood splashed, and half of his palm fell on the beach.

"Aww, my hand!" The intense pain woke him up from his drunkenness, and he howled heart-piercingly while hugging the severed hand.

"Hahaha" Asha laughed triumphantly.

The Drowned Man's singing became louder and louder.

Thaler frowned and waved his hand, and signaled the ironborn with his broken hand with his eyes: don't embarrass the ironborn in front of the dragon queen.

The other 12 people only glanced at this side, and then continued their game, but their mental power was concentrated like never before.

"Hoohoo——" the hatchet flew back and forth over the fire, and as the rounds passed, the ironmen on the side were like fanatical fans seeing Maradora, Pele, Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Best, big and small Ronaldinho, Messi and other gods competed in the same arena, each of them was very excited and cheered loudly.

The contestants were also mobilized. As the alcohol in their stomachs began to ferment, every time they slammed the ax vigorously, they roared and cursed loudly, with a fierce look on their faces. The hatchet turned into a wheel of blades in mid-air, and the faster and more urgent it was , even the flames of the fire below swayed from side to side along with the ax wheel.

"Chichichi-"

"Oh, my finger!" Finally, after more than a dozen rounds, someone missed again and wanted to grab the handle of the axe, but accidentally touched the sharp axe blade.

It was as relaxed and comfortable as an anchor selling a kitchen knife cutting meat with a knife. The ax blade chopped off a third of the palm, and the thumb and forefinger were connected with a large piece of flesh and blood, and fell to the sand.

"嗤嗤嗤—嗤嗤嗤—" Then came the third, fourth, and fifth.

Not to mention the iron race onlookers, even Dani's blood was inexplicably surging, and she really wanted to cheer and shout with them.

"Could it be that I also have the potential to become an Ironborn?" She quickly came to her senses, concentrating on gathering the power of the sacrifice.

The strong power of faith gushed out from the singing Drowned Priest, and the seven pairs of ironborn dancing with fingers were the sacrifices.

Every time a hand is broken, a strange power gushes out immediately.

The actions of the ironborn really pleased the Drowned God.

"Roar!" Old Dunstan raised his hands and looked up to the sky - screaming furiously.

Unfortunately, Earl Stonehouse, who was in the same group as him, was hit on the forehead with an ax and became the first player to lose his life tonight.

"How?" Thaler asked in a low voice.

"Barely enough." Dany nodded.

Thaler breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the eleven contestants, and the scene immediately burst into cheers.

The basic rule of the finger dance is to stand in place, the body can dodge and catch the axe, but the feet cannot move.

Therefore, the finger dance does not necessarily end when the finger is cut off. If the finger is cut off, the palm can still be used.

The key depends on what rules you choose before the game, life and death, or just betting on winning or losing.

Dany just wanted to gather enough sacrifice power to open the channel of faith.

Since the abolishment of six hands and the death of one person has opened the passage, there is no need for her to let the Ironborn continue to die.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Dany called out, pointing at a pale Ironborn.

It was Gram, the youngest son of Earl Gubler.

The guy was wrapping his right palm in linen and kicking his frozen fingers into the fire with his right foot.

"It's not burning anymore, why keep it?" Sir Green said in a hurry.

"Pick it up quickly, it's still usable," Dani said.

Everyone still didn't understand what it meant, Asha was startled, and hurriedly ran into the fire, and hooked out the severed palm that was scorched with oil with her long cowhide boots.

"Her Majesty can even revive the dead, let alone heal a severed hand?" she said.

Those who had severed their hands looked expectantly at the Dragon Queen.

Dany didn't talk nonsense, and let the iron species with severed palms and severed fingers put the severed hands back together.

Although the beach was already frozen at tens of degrees below zero, they were slowly reactivated under the warm holy light, and then connected together.

"By the Drowned God, this is a miracle!" An ironman clenched his fists and shouted in disbelief, "It's as flexible and powerful as before, as if it had never been broken."

"No wonder everyone says that although lay on hands is not a panacea, it is especially effective for sword wounds." Priest Thaler was shocked and envious.

If the Drowned Man knows how to perform Lay on Hands, then the Ironborn will be able to play finger dance with confidence.

Finger dancing is not just a game.

Just imagine, if other navies were to join forces with the Ironborn, and each Ironborn had two hatchets pinned to their waists, what would that scene be like?
It is no fluke that the ironborn can roar across the world.

"Ah, my hand hurts so much, it's all roasted!" Ge Lan wailed while holding up his browned right hand, and there was a faint aroma of barbecue coming from his fingers.

"The surface is burnt, but the inside is still good. Let it rest for a few days, and wait for it to shed its skin automatically." Dani held back a smile.

It's like a pig's trotter that has just been taken out of the freezer of the refrigerator and baked directly on the gas stove. Even though the skin is burnt, the ice inside has not yet melted.

"What to do now?" Taaler Priestess asked.

"I need a guide. How do you usually communicate with the Drowned God?"

Like the last time she broke into the hall in the cloud, Dany also needs a stable coordinate similar to that of King Euron to ensure that she will not get lost when traveling through time and space.

Mere lines of belief cannot be regarded as coordinates.

Danni forced her way into the Palace of Flowing Water, a bit like Huo Dou forced her way into the Tomb of the Living Dead in "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

It is very simple to communicate with the little dragon girl in the tomb of the living dead, just stand behind Zhongnan Mountain and shout loudly, the little dragon girl will definitely hear
But if you want to identify the location (the thread of faith) by listening to the sound, enter the tomb of the living dead and catch the little dragon girl, it is delusional.

Because there are traps near the tomb of the living dead, and there are countless secret passages in the ancient tomb (there are space turbulence and traps set by the gods near the Kingdom of God).

But if you let Grandma Sun go and stick behind Grandma Sun, you will definitely be able to break into the ancient tomb.

Earl Stonehouse, who died in the finger dance competition before, may not be able to go to the Flowing Water Garden, so he cannot be a "navigator".

Dany regretted that she beheaded Aeron "Wetfax" back then, but did not imprison his soul.

But she doesn't regret it, just like she won't forcibly detain the souls of the believers of the old gods in the north.The Drowned God and the Storm God belong to the lineage of the old gods, so it is impossible for her to spoil "my little brother".

"If I want to communicate with the Drowned God, I will go to the beach, stand in the shallows, and pray toward the depths of the sea." Thaler said.

"Has it worked?" Dany asked.

Thaler had a twisted expression, glanced at the ironmen around him, and nodded slightly.

"Tell the truth." Dani said in a deep voice.

Thaler still nodded slightly, but said in a weak mosquito voice: "It seems not."

Dany was helpless, "Have you ever received a response from the Drowned God in your life?"

"Of course, I'm a triple-drenched man, and I've entered the Palace of Flowing Water every time I've been flooded." This time, the old priest's tone was very firm.

Ironborn has a ritual similar to Christian baptism called "drowned".

For ordinary ironmen, it is only necessary to pour sea water on their heads, which is not completely submerged.

But to become a drowned man, one must experience at least one complete submersion: being held in the sea by another drowned man until he was out of breath, and then, the drowned man dragged the believer in a state of suspended animation (?) to the beach, using his heart Resuscitation brought him back.

The reason why Aeron "Wetmage" can become the leader of the Drowned is that he never misses when he is drowned.

Thaler's "Three Drowned Man" is also called because he has been baptized by drowning three times.And he can become Aeron's successor because he is the drowned man who has the least number of misses besides Euron.

In the ironborn's concept, when they were drowned, they had already died once, and their souls went to the palace of flowing water, and after being blessed by the Drowned God, they were resurrected again.

"Why don't you get flooded again?" Dany suggested.

If the old priest hadn't lied, then following his soul, he would definitely be able to reach the Palace of Flowing Water.

"This..." Thaler hesitated.

If Aeron lived, he wouldn't mind being drowned again, but for other drowned people, he wouldn't be so relieved.

Asha saw something, and urged in a deep voice: "Priest Thaler, we are running out of time."

Seeing that the eyes of the Dragon Queen and all the ironmen were on him, Thaler sighed helplessly and nodded in agreement.

"Priest Nuo Jing, come and help me get drowned."

Nogin was Aeron's assistant, and now Taller's assistant.

"Hi, okay." Nuo Jing with a big beard hiccupped, rolled up his sleeves, and walked forward with a drunken eye.

"Are you drunk?" Thaler's expression turned ugly when he smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his younger brother.

"I haven't had a drink for several years." Nuo Jing grinned stupidly, "Don't worry, my lord, I'm good at crafting, and I have a [-]% success rate!"

Thaler's complexion became more and more ugly, and he forced a smile and said to the Dragon Queen: "The water is a bit cold in this weather."

"Is your scalp itchy?" Dany asked blankly.

Thaler plucked the messy long hair that looked like seaweed, and looked puzzled, "It's really itchy, I have lice on my head."

Dany raised her chin towards the sea, "Since it's itchy, go down and wash."

"It's not clean."

"It can be washed clean." Dany said.

——When a person dies, the lice will naturally die too.

Thaler walked resignedly into the sea, stopping at waist-deep.

He shivered from the cold.

"God, please let your servant be reborn from the sea like you! Give him the blessing of sea salt, give him the blessing of solid stone, and give him the blessing of steel." Nuo Jing put his right hand on his head and chanted loudly recite.

Thaler took a deep breath and said loudly, "The dead don't die."

Nuo Jing hiccupped again, grabbed Thaler's hair, and pressed it down hard.

"Googling."

— Grass, the water is really cold!

After a full 15 minutes, Dany finally saw a light gray shadow floating from Thaler's body.

"As expected of the Three Drowned People!" With a sigh of emotion, Dani stepped forward with the weirwood cane in her right hand.

"Buzz!"

After consuming nearly one-third of the divine power, finally, a light blue dotted line emerged and pulled left and right to reveal an oval door.

"The winner of the finger dance can enter it, hurry up!"
