Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory - Chapter 417
c414 Farewell, Westeros
Linde stood on the balcony of the Prime Minister’s Tower, looking at the empty Winterfell before him. The bonfires lit in the city allowed him to see clearly the situation in the city. At this moment, he couldn’t help but recall the first time he came to King’s Landing. The scene feels like what happened a few days ago.
“Your Majesty, the ship is ready.” Breathing heavily, Sam came to the door and said to Lind.
“Yes.” Lind responded, turned around and walked out of the room. Sam carefully closed the door and locked it. He hoped that when the descendants came back here after the long night, everything would still be as it was when they left.
Linde led the remaining Red Castle guards down the steps from the garden path and arrived at the royal pier.
On the dock, Jon Snow was waiting there with the last group of people from King’s Landing without getting on the ship.
“Have everyone in the city left?” Linde asked seriously.
Jon replied: “Everyone who wanted to leave has already left.”
Linde frowned and asked, “Is there anyone who hasn’t left yet?”
“There are still some people who are lucky.” Jon said with disdain: “Up to now, they still only think that everything is temporary.”
As he spoke, Jon looked at the dark sky. You must know that it was noon now. According to normal circumstances, it should be a sunny day now.
As early as half a year ago, the whole world could no longer see sunlight, and darkness became the only celestial phenomenon.
The ice and snow in the north has crossed the Blackwater River and covered the entire Reach. Now it has crossed the Crimson Mountains and occupied Dorne. The climate in King’s Landing is now almost the same as that of the Great Wall.
However, even so, there are still some people who are not afraid of death. They feel that this will not last long. They hope to take advantage of the migration of all the seven kingdoms to occupy more land, and then they can become great nobles. , great lord.
But it was difficult for their minds to understand that even if the world only briefly fell into long nights and extreme cold as they thought, it soon returned to normal, and they were able to occupy a large amount of land, but once Lind returned to Westeros The mainland, the land they occupied is still going to be spit out. With their strength, they simply cannot hold it.
It’s a pity that all of them were dazzled by the immediate interests and completely lost the ability to think about problems. Linde did not force this, but let it go.
After a group of people got on the boat, the boat slowly sailed away from King’s Landing. Due to the extremely cold weather, a layer of ice formed on the sea surface of Blackwater Bay, blocking the way of the boat. However, it still did not wait until the bow of the boat hit the ice in front. Cover, a blaze of flames erupted from the bottom of the sea, instantly shattering the ice. Then the glutton’s huge body rushed out from the bottom of the sea, hitting the ice on the sea surface, opening up a channel, guiding the ship towards the bay. Sailed away.
After Linde’s ship left, a group of people gathered in the Grand Plaza Baylor, then entered the Red Keep, opened the warehouse, took away some supplies left inside, and then gathered in the King’s Hall, just like here The masters discussed their future as well.
After Linde’s ship sailed to the open sea, he lowered all the sails and sailed quickly on the sea with the fierce north wind. Its first stop was Tyrosh, where it is said that there was a fleet The recorders of the Karmaweavers have not left yet, and they want to record the final moments of the city of Tyrosh.
The Destiny Weaver is a very special god. This god’s temple only exists in Tyrosh, but its clergy are spread all over the world. Even in the city, there are clergy who believe in the Destiny Weaver.
The clergy of Karma Weavers are not so much believers as recorders of historical events. They will appear at every historical node and record every major world event. For example, during the White Walker War, there were several Karma Weavers on the Great Wall. When Nymeria conquered Slaver’s Bay, she was surrounded by Destiny Weaver clergy.
Now there is also a Destiny Weaver priest on board Linde’s ship. When he left King’s Landing, he recorded the last appearance of the abandoned King’s Landing city in a painting.
Two days later, the ship arrived at Tyrosh, a city that was completely covered in ice and snow.
There has been no snow in Tyroshi since the city was founded. When the first snow fell in Tyroshi more than a year ago, panic spread in the city of Tyroshi. Some people began to cause trouble, promote the doomsday, and organize riots. , the result was naturally suppressed by Linde’s Divine Chosen Corps stationed here. Half of the governors and officials died, more than 20,000 residents of the city died, and two hired mercenary groups were also wiped out. .
After this suppression, Tyrosi became a lot more honest, and they cooperated with the migration honestly. It took only one year for the whole city to be completely transferred.
“Something’s wrong!” After the ship docked at the dock, Jon came to Lind and whispered.
Lind nodded and gave instructions to Jon and the others: “Have someone blow the rally horn, and you stay on the ship.”
After saying that, he flew off the ship and walked towards the dock square.
During the long night, there was no fire or sound in Tyrosh. Except for the whirring sound of the north wind passing through the city, those inside could only feel the silence.
Linde soon arrived at the dock square. Under normal circumstances, a bonfire should be lit here, and the Karma Weaver priests waiting to board the ship would stay in the house next to the square to avoid the wind and snow outside until the ship arrived.
However, there are indeed bonfires piled up in the square now, but judging from the ice and snow covering them, the bonfires should have been piled here a few days ago and had not had time to be lit. There are still food residues in the houses next to them. It seems that they should be there. Something happened while eating, and the Karma Weaver priest who was waiting here disappeared.
In addition, in the room, Lind also found notes left by the Karma Weaver priests, which recorded the process of Tyrosh’s final abandonment. What interested Lind was a painting at the end of the notes. That painting should The recorder drew it while standing on the square overlooking the pier. At that time, there was a bonfire on the pier. The light of the bonfire illuminated the surrounding situation. In the painting, some human-shaped things can be seen coming out of the cold sea water.
“Were you attacked by humanoids coming out of the sea?” A bold idea came to Linde’s mind. He did not stay here too long because there was no one in the city anymore. After all, the rallying horn had been blowing for such a long time. , if there were people, they would have appeared long ago.
He picked up the notes and was about to leave when he suddenly noticed something near the campfire. He walked over and took a look and found that they were some palm-sized scales. If these scales came from fish, then this fish might be larger than humans. Much larger.
When Lind looked at the scales, the painting in his notes came to mind, so he picked up the scales and brought them back to the ship.
After giving the notes and scales to Sam, he told Sam and Jon his findings and guesses.
“Mermaid?” Sam looked at the scales and notes and said, “I remember it was written in a book that near the Thousand Islands in the northern Shivering Sea, due to a civilization that believed in fishmen, there might be a fish there. Maybe the human kingdom will also choose to go south as the extreme cold weather covers the north.
Lind asked curiously: “Is there any relationship between this murloc kingdom and the murloc kingdom near Lannisport?”
For a long time, the existence of a murloc kingdom in the waters near Lannisport was just a legend. However, with this great migration, this murloc kingdom gradually surfaced. As the legend goes, there is indeed a murloc kingdom in the waters near Lannisport. , and now this murloc kingdom has also migrated to the waters near the Midsummer Islands. Nymeria met with the queen of this murloc kingdom and brought this murloc kingdom into the protection of the Terra Empire.
Sam thought for a while and explained: “Maybe they are different branches of the same race, just like us, the Lorne and the Dothraki.”
“I hope they won’t cause trouble.” Lind looked at the dark ocean outside the ship’s side, then turned around and ordered: “Set sail, next stop is Reese.”
The ship raised its sails again and slowly sailed out of Tyrosh’s dock, along the coastline, and began to pass through the Stepped Stone Islands.
With the extreme cold climate in the north, the entire Shivering Sea has basically been covered by ice and snow. A large amount of seawater has frozen into ice, forming ice sheets with a thickness of tens of meters. Because of this, the entire world’s seas have The planes are all falling, which directly causes the land base of the Stepped Islands that collapsed to the seabed to begin to emerge from the water. Some places have even completely turned into land, while the places that have not turned into land have also turned into shoals full of rocks. , when a ship sails past here, even the most experienced captain has to put down the sails and use punting to cross the sea little by little, and the sailing speed is naturally affected.
However, Linde does not need to worry, because there is a glutton in front of his ship to open the way, which can easily help the ship find the rocks hidden in the water. This makes it possible to travel through the sea area that takes several days, only using Weared it in less than a day.
After passing through the Stepstone Islands, there were more and more ships on the sea. Most of these ships were merchant ships and cargo ships traveling between Dorne and Old Town.
Although the extremely cold climate continues to advance southward, the climate near the southern coastline of Westeros is still pretty good, especially the southern coastline of Dorne. Due to the increase in rain and snow, the desert environment in this area has greatly improved. A lot of land has been developed into farmland, and some cold-resistant food crops have been planted. It is one of the important granaries of the Terra Empire.
Although the sun has been lost and it is all night, and some food plants have begun to stop growing, there are still many food crops that do not need sunlight and only need water and fertilizer. They can still grow normally, but the food output cannot be compared with the past, so Linde All the land in the current country that can be developed into farmland has been turned into farmland in order to maintain stable food output.
Linde’s ship is the most obvious among all the ships, not because of the flag on the ship, but because this ship is the only large sailing ship in the world with seven levels of cabins, even the largest warship in the Miracle Fleet Put together with it, it looks like a small sailboat.
Therefore, when the ship sailed on the route of the Summer Sea, all ships that saw the ship took the initiative to get out of the channel and blew their horns when the ship passed by.
When Lind arrived in Lys, the trade governors of Lys were already waiting at the dock.
Linde did not attend the banquet held by the trade governors. He only met with the various trade governors in a tax officer’s room on the dock and asked about the current situation in Reese.
Compared to Tyrosh, which has become an empty city, the situation in Lys is obviously much better. At least it is not covered by ice and snow, and it rarely even snows. Most of it is icy heavy rain.
Although it is a bit too cold here for locals in Reese, for people from the north, the climate here is quite suitable.
Now Lys has become an extremely important trade transit point. All materials from Westeros are concentrated here, and then divided into cargo ships on different routes and sent to various places.
Because of this, the Miracle Fleet headquarters of the Stepstone Islands was also moved to Lys, and the original residents of Lys were moved to pioneering lands further south.
Lind stopped for a while in Lys, learned about the situation, made some arrangements, and then set off for Volantis.
After that, he spent most of the month sailing on the sea, visiting Volantis, Valyria Ruins Base, the Isle of Tears, the Tower of Immen, Slaver’s Bay, Qarth, and finally Stormport.
Among these places, he spent a little longer on the Island of Tears and Yimen Tower. The lord of the Island of Tears is Prince Daolang. This is a territory he specially selected because he wants to build the Island of Tears into an important maritime city. Like Lys, the size of the port here is second only to Stormport. Almost all ships that want to take the Yi River route will stop here. The prosperity here is the highest among all the lords who migrated to the Sothoryos continent. .
Yimen Tower and the Isle of Tears are across the sea. The lord here is Sansa Stark. Because Yimen Tower is right at the mouth of the Yi River, it has a geographical advantage. Sansa is the first guardian duke to complete the migration. , so Linde will take special care of her in the system, which also makes the prosperity of Yimen Tower not much worse than that of the Island of Tears. In addition, the headquarters of the Night Watch Legion is also set up here, which is besides the God’s Chosen Legion and the Queen’s Legion. , the third organized corps for recruiting power.
Storm Harbor is located on the Feilongjiao Peninsula. It is the first place where the pioneering group landed and the earliest pioneering land. After several years of construction, it has become the largest city and the largest port in the entire Terra Empire, and the most famous building here is A storm god lighthouse that is as tall as a towering tower, and as the long night comes, this lighthouse has never been extinguished.
When Linde’s ship arrived at the bay of Storm Harbor, all the ships moved out of the way, dropped anchor and lowered the sails. The boatswain on the ship picked up the horn, climbed to the observation deck at the top of the sail, and blew the Horns, and at the same time, the sound of horns also sounded one after another in the harbor.
Lind saw Nymeria, Daenerys and the children waiting on the pier, with a smile on his face. Before the ship docked, he flew down from the ship and landed on Nymeria and the others. In front of him, he said: “Thank you for your hard work, I’m back!”
