Viserys then took the slightly heavy wooden box from the soldier's hands.
Click…
Then he opened the lid of the wooden box and saw a dark red stone that looked like solidified blood lying quietly inside.
"What's this?"
Viserys' eyes narrowed slightly, and when he saw this thing, he instinctively felt a touch of heart palpitations.
Then he raised his head and glanced at the captured brotherhood leader. When he saw that Viserys had found the wooden box, his face turned pale.
This is what they found from the place where the red comet fell after losing several brothers and taking great risks.
It looks like the core of this red comet. When it was first found, it was still emitting a strong red light, and its surface was extremely hot.
These believers of the Lord of Light waited for a long time in the smoky environment, and the temperature on the surface of this 'stone' gradually cooled down, so it took a long time.
Then he put the Star Heart into a wooden box and just took it down the mountain, when he ran into the Andalos army that had also arrived very early.
The other party also discovered them at the same time, and directly sent two teams of light cavalry to outflank them from both sides. By then, even if they wanted to escape desperately with this 'stone', it was already too late.
In the end, these people could only bravely come forward, hoping to kidnap or deceive Viserys and then escape from here with the Star Heart and sell it for a good price.
However, I didn't expect that these desperadoes were captured on the spot before their bold plan could be launched.
"This was found inside?"
Viserys was sitting on the horse, holding a heavy wooden box with one hand, but he was not in a hurry to reach out and touch this strange-looking thing.
Then he turned to the brotherhood leader who was already tied up and kneeling on the ground and asked.
His Majesty."
At this moment, the bandit leader no longer wanted to save this treasure. He just wanted to live. He kowtowed and said, hoping that Viserys could spare his life.
But Viserys just narrowed his eyes and did not rush to agree to their request.
Then he raised his head and looked at the thick smoke in the sky. Although the wind was now in the opposite direction and the smoke was not spreading in their direction, they still couldn't see clearly what the place where the red comet fell looked like.
"Seal everything here and no one is allowed to come near."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards around him took the order and quickly passed it down.
The long legions began to gradually spread, surrounding the road leading to the place where the red comet fell.
"Find a few more people, including him."
Viserys then pointed at the leader of the Brotherhood who believed in the Lord of Light.
"Let's go up and check if there's anything else."
"clear!"
Next, another soldier came forward and unlocked the chains on the opponent's feet, and then released several other prisoners.
Then dozens of Andalos soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet coarse cloths, and then followed these prisoners into the thick smoke and gradually disappeared.
The wildfire cannot be extinguished in a day or two. He cannot wait here until the wildfire is extinguished.
Viserys sat on his horse and looked at the gloomy sky above his head. The setting sun in the distance was gradually approaching the horizon.
Night is coming soon.
And this is not a place to stay for a long time. If the wind direction changes, the Andalus Legion staying at the foot of the mountain will most likely be in danger.
The evening breeze was cool, and Viserys ordered the army to retreat, leaving only a few dozen cavalry to follow him and wait quietly.
Later.
Viserys looked at the dark red 'stone' placed in the wooden box again, then stretched out his hand and took it out of the box.
This stone had a cold touch, and Viserys felt his body tremble slightly when he first touched it.
"So cold?"
There was surprise on the young king's face. He did not expect that this 'stone' that looked extremely red on the surface would actually feel extremely cold to the touch.
"Is this the core of the red comet?"
Viserys knew that when the meteorite fell from outer space, the strong friction with the air produced extremely high temperatures, burning away the impurities on the surface of the meteorite, leaving only the hardest stone, iron or some unknown special substance.
In the short fall process, it almost went through a lot of hard work before it could reach the ground.
Then, Viserys squeezed slightly with his five fingers.
A biting coldness poured into his mind along his five fingers, giving him a slight chill, as if he was holding a piece of solid ice.
And as expected, there is no trace on the surface of this 'stone'.
"This doesn't look like a stone, but more like a piece of meteorite."
"Come and see."
Then Viserys looked at it a few more times and handed the star heart of the red comet to Oberyn, who was sitting on the horse next to him.
The Prince of Dorne was well-informed. He had just seen that these people disguised as caravans were not good people, so he prompted Viserys to take them down.
Oberyn did not refuse and took the stone from Viserys's hand, and he shuddered slightly.
"This thing is so cold."
Then he weighed it with his hands.
"That's right, the weight and feel don't look like a stone, but a piece of meteorite."
Then Oberyn raised his head, looked at the young king wearing a crown, and then spoke.
"The Dane family in Starfall City is one of the oldest families in Westeros, and can even be traced back to the Dawn Era 10,000 years ago."
"Legend has it that the first Dane was following a fallen star and came to a small island where a turbulent river entered the sea. There he found a magical heart of the star, and then built a castle.
This is Starfall City today.”
"And the weapon 'Dawn' passed down by the Dane family is said to be forged from this heart of a star."
"Congratulations, Viserys."
Oberyn reined in the reins and returned the Star Heart to Viserys.
"You may soon have a weapon as good as Valyrian steel."
"Is it?"
Viserys took over the Star Heart, but his expression didn't show much surprise.
"It's just...looking at the weight, it can only make a long sword at best."
The heart of the star of this red comet is not very big. Maybe if it is melted, it can only be able to cast a long sword, not even a big sword.
And at this moment.
There were noisy sounds in the distance, and there seemed to be an army approaching on the horizon.
However, they had also seen the Andalus Legion stationed here, and then stopped cautiously.
