Chapter 994 The Fall of the Drowned God
In an instant.
Following the Pale Holy Child, Red Bull Akun and Reese's Weeping Lady also fell one after another, and this battle of the gods gradually became tragic.
On the other hand, the Drowned God gave Naga's fire and divine sword to Viserys, and lost most of his fighting power. He himself wanted to escape back to his hometown, Liushui Palace, to recuperate, but unexpectedly encountered a blockade.
As the most proficient in assassination in the Divine Realm, the God of Thousand Faces is undoubtedly the most feared deity among the gods.
He disappeared when the gods of Essos besieged Viserys after the Drowned God escaped. Because of the feud between the God of Many Faces and the Valyrians, everyone thought that the God of Many Faces was hiding and preparing to Find the flaw in Viserys.
But no one thought that the God of Thousand Faces did not choose to besiege Viserys, but instead focused on the Drowned God who was seriously wounded and dying and wanted to leave the battlefield in a hurry.
huh~
The God of Thousand Faces came riding through the mist, seized the Drowned God's weakest moment, and stabbed his dagger into his chest.
"The great Drowned God has fallen!"
The Drowned God fell in the sky above the Sea of Setting Sun, his palace of flowing water collapsed, the souls of the Iron Seeds were terrified, thinking that the end of the world had come, and the living people on the Iron Islands were in chaos.
Because at the moment when the Drowned God fell, all his statues that had been repaired collapsed, and the sea seemed to become restless. In the sky, there seemed to be a faint sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling in the wind.
"Something happened to the Drowned God!"
As the governor of the Iron Islands, James, who was in Euron Greyjoy's body, looked up at the sky, the wrinkles on his forehead piled up, and the gray hair fluttered in the salty sea breeze.
Two years have passed since the Hejian Earth plague. The fleeting moment in the sky is a long time for the mortal world. James is two years older. He can clearly feel the aging of his body, and his legs and feet are gradually not listening. handle.
As the messenger of Viserys, he was once brought by his side, and he naturally knew the stories of some gods. Viserys once came to the Sea of Sunset to visit the Drowned God, and then went to the Old Town to visit the Seven Gods.
It seems that some kind of huge crisis is brewing in the God Realm, so the gods can't help but get busy, and according to some news that James has received over the years, it seems that the whole world is not peaceful.
The Valyrian Empire suddenly declared war on the world like crazy. The little queen Daenerys rode a dragon and ruthlessly destroyed one city-state after another, burning their beliefs and killing their followers, and these gods In the middle of it, there were three consecutive news that some statues had collapsed and the gods had lost contact.
If these news were just an example, it would be nothing, and it would be regarded as an accident, but all these news broke out intensively in the past few years, which really made people unable to ponder.
Jaime guessed that a war seemed to be breaking out in the world of the gods.
And this war was detonated when Viserys ascended into the realm of the gods, and now many gods have fallen one after another, and the Drowned God is one of them.
"The gods are above."
The old James showed deep anxiety on his face. After experiencing many disasters, the world is no longer able to withstand any wind and rain. After all, the country rises and falls, the people suffer, and when the gods are angry, they will There are even more dire consequences.
He instinctively wanted to pray, but then he suddenly stopped talking when the words came to his mouth.
He used to believe in the Seven Gods, but his soul was taken into the hands of Viserys after he was executed for monarchy. Only then did James open his eyes to know the deeper story of the world, but now the flesh he occupies is It's an iron seed, and he doesn't even know which god he wants to pray to?
In addition to the fall of the gods, two years have passed, and the situation on Westeros has also undergone drastic changes.
Two years ago, the great flood and the plague passed, leaving Aihong everywhere in the Hejian. Instead of staying away from the epidemic area, the first prince Helos Targaryen decided to stay here.
He controlled the plague with an iron fist, and used indifferent and even cruel but extremely effective means to control the black goat god's plague curse in a short period of time and prevent it from threatening the surrounding empire provinces and even the safety of the empire's capital King's Landing. However, The price paid was that ten households in Hejiandi were traumatized to go to five or six.
The eldest prince Helos Targaryen's use of thunder to control the epidemic has aroused high praise from the high-level officials of the empire. However, Helos, who saved countless lives in the riverlands, was discredited because of this. The prince is very hostile.
Because Helos took too radical measures to control the plague in the riverlands, resulting in many innocent sacrifices.
For example, many people who were mildly ill were directly taken away and thrown to Qianmianyu to go to the deserted island to survive.
Thousand-faced Island is an island in the middle of God's Eye Lake in the Hejian Land. It once brought peace between humans and the children of the forest. However, two years ago, it was the main place for Helos to isolate people infected with the plague. The rest are some Castles and villages.
Few of the patients who were thrown here eventually came out alive, nothing more than dying of illness, starvation, being killed by other patients, and so on.
However, quite a few of them could actually survive this plague, but they were caught without exception. Therefore, the families of these patients began to hate Helos, thinking that he killed them. 's relatives.
In addition to this plague, Earl Bracken, the governor of the riverlands, was finally sentenced to death by the Minister of Justice of the Empire for mishandling the plague, covering up the development of the situation, and committing murder.
However, thinking about the contribution of the deceased old Earl Brecon to the Targaryen royal family and the entire country, the eldest prince Helos interceded for Hendry Brecon.
In the end, he was spared a public beheading, and he also did not use such a cruel punishment as hanging, but was given a glass of poisonous wine.
Afterwards, Hendry Bracken drank this cup of poisonous wine in prison and died. He saved the body and escorted it back to the Twins for burial.
However, although Hendry Bracken's youngest son inherited the title of Earl of the Twins, the governorship of the Riverlands did not fall into the hands of this toddler.
Because the riverlands have just emerged from floods and plagues, they are in desperate need of a strong governor.
Therefore, it was proposed by the First Prince Heros Targaryen, and finally the position of Governor of the Riverlands was given to Edmure Tully, the Lord of Riverrun.
