On the day of the sword-drawing ceremony, the small village was bustling with activity.
The most famous mercenary groups of the Free Trade City-State are gathered here. In addition, young nobles from the nine major trading city-states, famous adventurers, knights from Westeros, and dilapidated nobles, etc., all Jumping around in the village.
In addition, there are many scholars, businessmen, priests of various sects, etc. who come here to watch. Among them are many fanatical believers and political speculators, who are always ready to pay allegiance to the"king of the earth" who draws his sword in order to obtain the dragon. merit.
Since the newly emerged Dragon God Church in Pentos has announced that the Dragon God has temporarily relieved the scorching heat of the sword to ensure that all those who try it will not die unexpectedly, more people come here than expected.
As a new faith, the Dragon God Church is now quite influential in Pentos and even the entire Free Trade City. This is of course because of the endless miracles of the Dragon God Church, including the Dragon God Temple alone. Above is an ever-present miracle and sign. Most of the people who participated in the sword-drawing ceremony converted to the Dragon God Cult. It is believed that as these people return to their original cities, the influence of the Dragon God Cult will surpass the entire Essos.
In addition, all participants know that anyone who can successfully pull out the sword will join the Dragon God Cult, because among all faiths, only Melisandre, the Pope of the Dragon God Cult, can make the"Lightbringer" respond. This also serves as a round of advertising for the Dragon God Cult - no one would think that the Dragon God Cult directs and acts on its own, because they believe that such a level of vision can only be a miracle and cannot be imagined. I think so, then the power held by the Dragon God Sect is too terrifying, and it is not a loss to believe in the Dragon God Sect.
Daenerys also came to the scene. She won everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. Of course, this was not only because of her peerless beauty, but also because of her generous"dowry". Because of her declaration, many people present took her for granted as the winner's trophy, but more thoughtful people knew that Daenerys herself was actually a strong competitor among the sword-drawers. Their experience in Pentos during this period allowed them to fully see this girl's governance methods and personality charm. Coupled with the bonus of Targaryen status, many people present were indeed impressed by her, but because of the"Lightbringer" Because of her existence, she did not swear allegiance to her for the time being.
Next to her is Ye Ting, who is also a very young boy, but no one dares to provoke him. It is said that he is the envoy of the Dragon God Religion, although he has no position in Pantos or the Dragon God Religion. , but his power derived from the"Dragon God" makes no one dare to ignore his existence.
In addition, the Pope of the Dragon God Church, Melisandre, also presided over the ceremony. This is also a very beautiful woman, and has a bit more mature style than the immature Daenerys. This also represents another prize that people think of as the winner of the sword-the entire Church of the Dragon God.
Today, this sword-drawing ceremony has unknowingly become a grand event that changes the entire situation in Essos: the person who pulls out the"Lightbringer" will not only gain the reincarnation of Azor Ahai and the destined king of the earth. By renewing his life, he can also immediately get the two beauties Daenerys and Melisandre, as well as the huge power they represent. In addition, if the plan is right, many people present are likely to swear an oath to the Destined King on the spot. Allegiance - Azor Ahai's prophecy and the recognition of the Dragon God Church are quite convincing - such a force already has the potential to unify the Free Trade Cities.
No wonder the governors of various city-states have sent their own descendants one after another. Even Dorne in Westeros has sent the"Red Viper" Oberyn Nameros Martell.
Dorne is the vast southernmost peninsula of Westeros and one of the Seven Kingdoms. Its capital is Sunspear. The rulers of Dorne are House Martell.
In fact, the Martell family and the Targaryen family have a close relationship. A hundred years ago, in order to conquer Dorne, the Targaryen family and the Martell family were married for generations. And now Robert, the king of the Seven Kingdoms, when he rebelled against the Targaryen dynasty, the object of his jealousy, Prince Rhaegar's first wife, was the princess from the Martell family - but she was not the heroine he was jealous of, Robert and Rhaegar was fighting for Lyanna, the sister of Duke Eddard Stark, who is now the Warden of the North. In order to avenge Rhaegar, Princess Elia and her children were brutally killed by the Lannister family when King's Landing fell..
Since then, although Prince Doran Martell ostensibly swore allegiance to Robert Baratheon, they have always harbored anger and hatred towards the Lannister family, pursuing a policy of isolation and not having anything to do with other families unless necessary. Coming and going. Secretly, the Martell family conspired with many old ministers of the Targaryen dynasty to restore the throne. The original candidate was Viserys Targaryen, but now that Viserys is dead, they have to focus on Daenerys. Now they plan to either support Daenerys or send a young man from the Martell family to marry Daenerys. Take this as an opportunity to rebel against Robert and take revenge.
And Oberyn Martell is the younger brother of Prince Dao Tyr and the brother-in-law of Prince Rhaegar.
……
Under the auspices of Melisandre, the drawing of the sword finally began.
Due to so many people wanting to try it, the ceremony was scheduled to last three days.
The first two days belonged to the run-down nobles and adventurers who just wanted to give it a try. They had little power and low reputation, so they could only try their luck here.
The real big shots, including the sons of governors, small and powerful nobles, the leaders of mercenary groups, and even the leaders of pirate groups, will all try to draw their swords on the third day.
The first two days of the ceremony flew by, and just as everyone imagined, no one could successfully pull out the sword.
On the third day, it was the turn of the real dignitaries to try.
Although these people are powerful people, there are also some truly extraordinary people.
The heirs of the governors of the Free Trade City came forward one by one and tried, but the sword seemed to grow in the stone, and no one could succeed.
The eldest brother of King Balon of the Iron Islands and the captain of the Serenity, the feared"Crow's Eye" Euron Greyjoy went up, but this crazy evil pirate did not succeed. After he stepped down, he looked at him fiercely. The remaining people looked at each other as if he was going to kill anyone who could pull out the sword.
The merchant giant of Qarth, Xaro Xanwan Daxos, who owned 84 ships, went up, but still failed.
Quentin Martell also went up. He is the son of Prince Doran. The Martell family is preparing to marry Daenerys. This time he came here with his uncle O'Byrne, but he also failed..
The noble Hizdahr Zo Lorak also went up. He is a noble of Meereen, one of the Free Trade Cities. He has great influence in Meereen and is very wealthy. He has many arenas, but he does not go out. Failed unexpectedly.
After that, the three captains of the Stormcrows, Prenda Na Gison, Bald Salo and Daario Naharis, the"Taggled Prince" of the Windblown Regiment, Mero of the Second Sons, and the Golden Regiment Harry Strickland and others all tried one by one. The leaders of these mercenary groups were all warriors with extraordinary skills, but none of them could shake the sword with their strength.
Finally, after everyone tried it again, the"Lightbringer" was still firmly stuck on the boulder.
Everyone sighed in disappointment, and some began to turn around and leave.
Some fanatic believers said in disappointment:"Does the reincarnation of Azor Ahai really not exist? Has God given up on us?"
Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted,"There are still people who haven't tried."
Everyone He looked over and saw that it was a Dothraki warrior responsible for maintaining order. He said loudly:"Our female Khal, Daenerys hasn't tried it yet."
""Crow's Eye" Euron Greyjoy was the first to laugh, and he said contemptuously:"A little girl still wants to be a king?"
These words aroused public anger. All the guards, all the Pentos people, and many mercenaries and adventurers who were impressed by Daenerys glared at him.
At this time, Daenerys knew that it was time for her to stand up. Ignoring
Euron Greyjoy, she slowly walked out of the crowd. At this time, she was wearing a white and gorgeous dress. She looked young and beautiful, but beauty was not Azor Ya The sign of Hai's reincarnation. Some people began to frown and stare at her. Daenerys heard them whispering.
Daenerys tried to ignore the voices and continued walking forward. When she came to the big stone At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on her.
They were all waiting.
Daenerys took a step forward and held the hilt of the sword. Her hands were still shaking a little. She took a deep breath and remembered what Ye Ting said to her last night.
"I'm ready, it's just a formality."
Out of her trust in Ye Ting, she forced herself to calm down and prepared to draw the sword.
She separated her hands, held the gorgeous sword hilt with both hands, and pulled it out hard.
The sword seemed to It trembled in his hand, and after a while, the sword was pulled out.
At that moment, the golden flame on the sword burned hotly, and the dazzling light and scorching heat wave made everyone around him afraid to get close.
But But she felt that these lights were not dazzling, and the heat wave could not make her sweat.
She raised her sword high, and a beam of golden light was cast in the sky, shining on the top of her head, making her beautiful, holy and solemn.
