Some older ironmen looked at the blood-red comet above their heads, their fingers trembling slightly, and then they knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"This is the punishment imposed by the Drowned God because he was dissatisfied with us for not restoring the ancient road!"
The vigorous rebellion on the Iron Islands was completely suppressed in less than a year. The ironmen were killed and injured. Now that this incident has just passed, everyone should naturally regard this red comet as the "
Wrath of the Drowned God' linked together.
Upon hearing these words, large swaths of Ironborn fell to their knees in fear and uneasiness, and kowtowed in the direction of the red comet, hoping to extinguish the wrath of the Drowned God.
And in Pike City, Balon Greyjoy, who had just put on the crown and then taken it off soon after, was now in the center of the rope bridge, and his cheeks seemed more desolate than before.
Listening to the roar of the sea below and the reports from his trusted subordinates, he looked up at the red comet above his head and remained silent for a while.
...
at the same time.
People from all over the continent of Westeros also saw the red comet.
The distant Great Wall of Despair.
Two soldiers of the Night's Watch wearing black cloaks took off their belts at the end of the world, and then poured a hot and yellowed old boy's urine in the direction of the land of eternal winter.
Then they were arm-in-arm and ready to walk back. However, at this moment, they saw a red comet with a long tail streaking across the sky.
"What's this?"
Wow...
More Night Watch brothers in Castle Black walked out of the room and looked at the blood-red comet in the sky.
This kind of wonderful natural celestial phenomenon is rare, but the men who usually brag and fart are a little speechless when faced with this simple question.
Because astronomy really touches their blind spots in knowledge.
Jeor Mormont, the 997th Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch, stood with a talking raven on his shoulders, wearing a bearskin cloak, and then followed his brothers out of the room, narrowing his eyes.
The old eyes, dim and yellowed by vicissitudes of life, looked at the wonderful celestial phenomena in the sky.
"How about calling it 'Mormont's Torch'?"
Then I don’t know which brother of the Night Watch made the move first, and all the soldiers in the Black Legion burst into laughter. The soldiers in this legion, which is now composed of criminals, understood the meaning of this sentence in a second.
.
"Is old Mormont's torch still working?"
The brothers of the Night Watch were laughing and joking.
"Be careful, sir, when he pulls out his 'sword' and scares you to death."
Old Jie Ao didn't pay much attention to this joke, but he still showed helplessness on his weathered face, and then he waved his hand and told them to get out.
"go!"
Then the old man raised his head again and stopped to look at the red comet passing overhead.
At first I was a little surprised to see this wonderful celestial phenomenon, but after looking at it twice, it no longer meant anything.
Then, the old man shook his head and returned to his room.
...
In the school city of Old Town.
The sound of footsteps rushing past in the silent corridor was clear.
Tread...
"What?"
"How can this be?"
At the same time, there were whispering voices, as if they were communicating something, with doubts and disbelief. Then the figure holding the lamp swayed slightly, and gently placed the oil lamp in his hand on the ground.
Wow...
The shaking figure took out a bunch of heavy keys, then inserted them into the huge keyhole. He struggled to twist the almost rusty lock, and finally heard a "click" sound, and finally opened the lock.
head.
Then the figure took a few deep breaths, raised his hand and opened the door with a creak. However, just as he was about to lift his legs and walk in, he suddenly stopped, stopped outside the room and looked at the scene in front of him, and then gradually opened the door.
Mouth.
"this..."
It was obvious that the sight in front of him surprised him. His figure was cast on the wall behind him, with one hand covering his mouth and his beard trembling.
Beside him, there was a figure hidden in the darkness who was not illuminated by the lights. At this time, he spoke.
"It looks like something big is going to happen."
"Let's inform the manager first."
In fact, those who have achieved qualified achievements in a certain professional field can be called a bachelor. If the bachelor's knowledge in a certain field can be called a 'master', then he will be awarded a ring, a scepter, and a sword corresponding to this field.
mask, and the title of Doctor to recognize his expertise.
The Doctors are senior members of the Citadel, and they are given the right to attend the Cardinal Council. The Cardinal Council is the management body of the Citadel, and even the Grand Bachelors who assist the King in King's Landing are elected by them.
The cardinal council of the school city will elect a general manager of the school city from among everyone present by drawing lots every year to manage the affairs of the school city.
Now that such a major event has occurred, it is natural to notify the current school manager. The city's great physician has obtained the title of doctor in the medical field, and has a silver ring, scepter, and mask, Dr. Ambrose.
Then the two people hurriedly closed the door, not forgetting to re-insert the heavy lock, and hurried towards the manager's room.
However, when the two people rushed to the steward's room with a lamp, they found that Dr. Ambrose was not here, and they found him after many twists and turns.
…
now.
Several members of the Cardinal Council of the City gathered in the room of Doctor of Astronomy Verin, using a strange mirror to look at the red comet with a long tail in the sky.
"This is a sword that kills the seasons."
"Heralds the end of spring and the solstice of summer."
Maester Gunther's teacher, Doctor of Astronomy Verin, was talking about something.
However, at this moment there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
Then, two middle-aged bachelors opened the door and walked in. They bowed slightly and saluted. Then they walked up to the steward and whispered a few words into his ears.
"What?"
Dr. Ambrose was slightly startled when he heard their words, then raised his gray head, widened his eyes and asked with a hoarse voice in disbelief.
"The glass candle is burning again?"
Several doctors gathered here to analyze the sudden appearance of the red comet and what signs it would bring.
However, nothing happened so suddenly. You must know that the glass candle has been extinguished for more than a hundred years, and no one can light it.
But now there is no need for flames, it is ignited out of thin air.
Several doctors in the room looked at each other in shock when they heard this. They also knew that this matter was not trivial.
The four glass candles preserved in the Citadel were brought to the Citadel from Valyria thousands of years ago before the Doomsday of Valyria came.
Although it has not been completely confirmed, according to the conjecture of doctors of all ages, glass candles may be closely related to the existence of magic.
"What happened?"
"This is a change that has not happened in a century."
Then a group of old men had no time to pay attention to the red comet above their heads and hurried to the room where the glass candles were stored.
