Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 963 Meeting an old acquaintance again

In A Song of Ice and Fire, there are two teenagers born in the same year named "Edric", Robert's illegitimate son "Edric Storm", Arthur Dayne's nephew "Edric Storm", Dane".

Storm's End is thousands of miles away from Starfall, and Robert and the Dane family have nothing to do with each other, but the two "Edrics" were born for the same reason.

Or, because of the same man, Eddard Stark!

To commemorate his best friend, Robert named his illegitimate son Edric; the Earl of Starfall admired Ed who killed his younger brother very much. name Edric.

The fathers of the two Eds hope that their sons can inherit the bravery and integrity of the old Ed.

They got their wish. The two Eds are rare young talents in "Game of Thrones". They are not considered literary and martial arts, but they are definitely above the IQ. They received formal knight training since they were young. Looks more like old Eddard than the Stark cubs.

It is two extremes with Joffrey the Great, No.1 of the contemporary youth generation.

However, old Ed's bad luck seems to have been passed on to the two younger Eds.

Edric Storm was first drained of the king's blood by his second uncle, and then was found by the big-sparrow to deal with Cersei. When the big-sparrow was murdered, he himself was liquidated by Euron, and he ended up miserable.

In the early years, Edric Dane followed the "Lightning King" to fight for righteousness in the river. Later, the Lightning King passed the fire of life to Mrs. Stoneheart, and he shouldered the responsibility of preventing the "community" from going astray.

The heir to the dignified earl lived in Hejian for five or six years without enough food, warm clothes, and restless sleep. He was only 12 years old at that time!

"After Earl Dondelion was rescued by the red monk Soros, I, like everyone else, thought it was a miracle, so I also changed my beliefs and became a follower of the Red God.

Before the apparition of the Holy Mother, before you showed your power, wherever there were Brotherhood Without Banners in Hejian, the people converted to the Lord of Light, tens of thousands, 10,000+ people.

For example, the Countess of Acorn Hall, her aunt is still a nun in Old Town, and she still has a good impression of the Red God.

Because of this, Lannister and Frey have ruled the river for several years, but they have never been able to catch us. There are people from us in the villages and small towns, and even the monks of the Seven Gods are also facing the Brotherhood. "

When Dany asked about Ed's beliefs, the teenager explained with embarrassment and pride.

If Dany hadn't crossed, the riverlands would inevitably be dyed red.

Dany even admired R'hllor's skill in selecting candidates. Beric Dondelion was a real knight, and he really led the Brotherhood Without Banners to fight for justice.

Take a look at the scope of activities of the Brotherhood Without Banners during the Dondelion period: from Saltpan Town to the Trident River, to Harrenhal, to the Stack of the Kneeling, to Acorn Hall, to Stone Hall Town, thousands of miles of fertile land in the riverland On the Internet, they are everywhere (ps).

Look at what the Brotherhood Without Banners has done: they help the common people hunt down bandits and rebels, use the golden dragons they plundered, and go to Hewan to buy food to relieve the civilians who suffered in Hejian.

In the early days, the Brotherhood Without Banners was not greedy for money, did not invite fame, and was not afraid of death, and completely served the common people.

In this way, we can understand why the belief in the Red God can spread rapidly in Hejian.

When Dondelion was resurrected too many times, he couldn't hold on mentally, his body was on the verge of scrapping, and the situation of the Seven Kingdoms also changed (the War of the Four Kings ended), and Madam Stone Heart split the Brotherhood into two.

Just like R'hllor has two faces, the Lord of Light and the Shadow Fiend, Edric inherits Dondelion's behest, represents R'hllor as the Lord of Light, and continues to win over normal believers with justice and glory.

Lady Stoneheart represents the dark and death side of R'hllor, using fear and revenge to attract believers whose hearts are slipping into the abyss of depravity in this land full of death and hatred.

R'hllor's arrangement would have been perfect if Dany hadn't crossed over.

"Why don't you go back to Starfall City?"

At this time, Dany also recognized that the rag that Ed was holding up just now with the Dane clan emblem printed on it was an old cloak.

Five or six years have passed, and the cloak that the boy brought out from home has been rotted in the wind and rain.

Ed turned around, glanced at the Red God believers who were approaching with torches, and said in a vicissitudes tone that did not belong to this age: "I have the responsibility to lead them to the end."

When Dani heard this, she couldn't help but carefully looked at this young man who was not as tall as herself.

Seventeen or eighteen years old, with platinum-blonde hair and big dark blue almost purple eyes, very thin, pale almost transparent skin, over 1.7 meters tall, a little stunted, very beautiful boy.Seeing Dani looking at him seriously, she turned her head away shyly.

She felt a little regretful, this kid has a good family background and good character, and has an uncle of the Dawn Sword, who is a very good candidate for the white knight, what a pity.

Speaking of which, the two of them are still relatives.

Targaryen did not marry into Dane's family. Ed's platinum hair and blue-purple appearance are family inheritance, and the white knight Geraldine also has silver hair and purple eyes.

"Ancestors" is not a race, but a collective term for humans who fled to Westeros more than 1 years ago.They include many ethnic groups, even sub-races.

For example, there are three types of ancestors who settled in Dorne: salt people, sand people, and stone people. The salt people lived by the sea, with olive skin and black hair; the sand people lived in the desert, with dark skin and brown-red faces; Stone people live in the mountains, with multi-colored hair and white skin.

Starfall City is a typical mountain city, and Dane is a stone-human race.So, Dane has silver hair and blue eyes, or purple eyes.

Perhaps because the Dane family has similar appearance characteristics to Targaryen, the daughter of the Dane family became Queen Targaryen 100 years ago.

Dany also has a small part of Dane's blood in her body.

Don't think that relatives from 100 years ago can't walk around, there is an old guy in her family who is more than 100 years old!

Old Aemon's mother was that Queen Dayne.

When old Aemon died, this relationship could be broken.

Seeing the Brotherhood approaching, Da Xiong frowned and said, "Even if you believe in the Red God, why bother to fly the Red God's flag during the march? We almost regarded you as an enemy before."

"Aren't the Red and Seven parties building a united front against ghosts and cooperating to fight against the ghosts? I thought everyone was a friendly army, so..."

"I didn't expect you to blow the horn twice to represent the enemy, but it scared us enough. Could it be that the civil war started before the war of resistance was won?" Ed murmured.

The Dragon Queen was righteous and impassioned, "The idea of ​​​​adhering to the united front against ghosts will not be shaken. Even if the War of Resistance is victorious, the Church of the Seven Gods and myself will not have any discrimination or hostility towards the followers of the Red God."

"However, even if it is a friendly army, it is divided into war zones! The hands of the Red God's holy fire are all in the king's territory, and they mainly operate around King's Landing. It is almost impossible to come to the Acorn Hall.

We treated you as enemies before, not because of your identity as a follower of the Red God.

Just because you are acting suspiciously, we are worried that some villains will plot evil under the banner of the Red God Armed Forces. "

The Dragon Queen's explanation was reasonable, and Edric and the brothers who came over suddenly realized it.

After that, [-] or [-] people came out of the Red God Armed Forces, reporting their names and families one by one, and giving the most standard knight salute to the Dragon Queen.

At this moment, Dany was surprised to find that there were so many lords in the rag-like fraternity.

In addition to the Sir, she also saw many familiar faces in the team, all the bandits she met at the Crossroads Inn back then.

There was Robert's bastard son, Gendry the blacksmith.

There is the innkeeper "Long-legged Jenny", and Jenny's sister, Weeping Willow, the lobby manager of the inn.

"Didn't you hang out with Madam Stoneheart before?" Dany asked.

At this time, the three bandits looked at the Dragon Queen with complicated eyes.

"I have seen Her Majesty, please forgive us for our last faux pas."

The thin and tall Jane gave a very non-standard lady's salute first, then put her hands down by her side, and said in a low voice: "After you flew away on a dragon that day, Madam left the river to go to the valley. There are many children in the inn. We If he couldn't leave, he would be completely separated from her from then on.

Later, the sun went out, and we couldn't hold on any longer, so we took the children in the inn to the Crab Claw Peninsula.

Brother Meribald took us in warmly, but the refugee camp is managed by monks, and they have to pray to the Virgin before every meal, but Gendry is very devout in the belief in the Red God, and his temper is very violent."

Dani looked at the stubborn young blacksmith, and nodded thoughtfully, "Are those orphans staying in the Crab Claw Peninsula?"

"Well, Brother Meribald is a good man. He doesn't mind what Gendry believes in, and he treats everyone very well. We can rest assured that the child will follow him." Long-legged Janey said.

But Meribald is the archbishop, and they usually come into contact with ordinary monks and priests.

Seeing Gendry praying devoutly to the Red God every day, one can imagine the reaction of the monks.

Along with it, Jane and Weeping Willow were also gradually squeezed out.

The two girls were in a daze and didn't care about beliefs or anything.

Before the War of the Four Kings, he believed in the Seven Gods, but when he met the Brotherhood, he converted to the Red God. After going to the Crab Claw Peninsula, he returned to the belief in the Virgin.

When they couldn't bear the cynicism of the monks and left the Crab Claw Peninsula, they shouted "Long night, thanks to my lord" to the fire again without any psychological barriers.

Dany looked around at the dirty and skinny fraternities, and said to Gals, "Take them to the castle, boil hot water for a bath first, and then give them broth and bread."

The gathered soldiers of the Hejian Volunteer Group dispersed, and Gals led the brotherhood towards the city gate. Dany was also going to the castle for dinner, and she and Jane walked at the end.

"Why did you find this?" Dany asked curiously.

"In the name of King Robert, Prime Minister Ed Stark sent Earl Dondelion and a group of noble knights and soldiers to the river to stop Gregor Clegane's atrocities against civilians and bring him back to King's Landing Accept legal sanctions.

Later, King Robert and Prime Minister Eddard died, Cersei took control of the kingdom, and we went from a royal court of prisoners to an illegal organization.

At first we were only hostile to Lannister soldiers, and then we gradually evolved to be hostile to anyone who hurt the weak, because both sides of the war are oppressing civilians.

Now the war has not subsided, but the enemy has changed from chaos soldiers and bandits to strange ghosts.

The Brotherhood was unable to deal with the living dead, and it was time to reorganize or disband. "

Edric turned his head to look at the Dragon Queen, and sincerely pleaded: "The Brotherhood Without Banners was originally formed by a team of honorable and upright knights. It started with the appointment of a king, and I hope it will end in the hands of another upright king. .

So, after a prophecy from the Noble Heart Ghost, we've come to Acorn Hall to find you. "

　(ps: Regarding the scope of activities of the Brotherhood Without Banners, I am not exaggerating here. If you are interested in comparing it with the map, it is unbelievable.

　　A lot of readers, including myself, start out thinking that the Brotherhood Without Banners is a minor player.

　　In fact, it is really very powerful. It is comparable to the snail party in terms of developing the masses and carrying out underground work.

　　At that time, the monks of the Seven Gods even took the initiative to help members of the Brotherhood who believed in the Red God hide in the temple.

　　The Brotherhood of the Red God followers will also have bloody vengeance for the murder of the Templar by the people of the Mountain.

　　It can be said that the belief in the Red God permeated Hejian in an all-round way. Common people, monks, merchants, and nobles all recognized the Lord of Light, and developed shallow faith in R'hllor.

　　I even suspect that after the end of the long night in the original book, Westeros will abandon the seven gods and convert to the red god, just like the continent of Essos. )
