39 Fallen Dragon (8)

On a dim night, a group of Donne riders from all directions surrounded Renli and the other two. They were wearing black cloaks, brass scales and leather armor inside, and the spear in their hands shone with sharp luster under the moonlight.

Lan Li had no idea about this group of people who suddenly appeared, and she couldn't figure out why they could find out the route of the two in advance.

However, at this time he had no time to pay attention to this question. Facing the hostile group of Dorn riders, the heartbeat of the young black-haired man surrounded by tightly surrounded by the center was beating rapidly, and his mind was turned to the center of his mind. His eyes suddenly looked at the big man who had just laughed.

"Do you know me?"

This horse riding man with fluffy black hair and olive green skin is obviously the leader of this group of people. At the same time, Lan Li noticed that the other riders were the same as this man, all with olive skin...

"Why, I'm not going to recognize your former rival after becoming a chameleon?" The other party smiled and rode his horse slightly closer. The spear in his hand gestured to Lan Li's whole body a few times.

"But it doesn't matter. I feel ashamed to use it as an opponent for a traitor like you. Guess if I will stab your neck or your bird egg later?"

This made the Donne riders around him laugh, and at the same time, he looked at Renly and Renice behind him with excitement and hatred.

"If you don't resist, we will tell you to die more quickly." Another old man in a cloak with thin cheeks spoke gloomy. He didn't look like a soldier, but he was consciously protected by his side.

Lan Li discovered this, but he ignored it for the time being. He looked at the big man with brown eyes and organized his words and said carefully: "Are you sure you know me? If you really know me, how could you not know what kind of person I am?"

"Of course he's a traitor!" said the man, "Who else can you be? You used to be very despicable, and you have to play tricks even if you compete with me for women. Only cowards will do that!"

This person did not order to take action directly, and the people around him also remained in a circumference, as if he was afraid, but he might just be enjoying the pleasure of victory.

However, this gave Renli a glimmer of opportunity, although he felt that the opportunity was a bit bad.

"Do you think I will really betray my fellow blood?"

"The fact is, you betrayed us." Under the moonlight, the man held the horse rope and sneered: "But I really never thought you would do this. There were so many blood feuds, even more despicable than you, didn't betray us, you?"

He shook his head and spitted in the direction of Renli. The blood-blooded liquid instantly melted into the dust. After looking down, Renli suddenly raised his voice.

"I did not betray Dorn! The real fact is that I did not betray Dorn, nor did I betray you!"

The sudden scream made the riders around subconsciously pinch the spear, and one of the horses was even more neighing,

However, none of this affected Lanli, who had determined his thoughts. Although his heart was pounding, he looked around, and spoke in a high tone: "Valylia's demon dragon rose again, six of the seven kingdoms have been occupied by them, and Dorn will never be spared. Unless I can go to Lorne's mother river and sacrifice this woman with the blood of the Dragon King to our great mother, yes, this is the only way to save Dorn."

"Don't delay the big thing!"

After the words came to an end, the riders around were stunned, and then stared at him like a fool.

"What is he talking about?"

"He said Lorne's mother river."

"What does this have to do with Mother River?"

...

It is obvious that the Lorne mother river in their mouths is a river, but it is also a belief.

There are three main human races in the Westeros continent, namely the ancestors, the Andals, and the Loynas. They are all outsiders. They arrive in this sunset place in turn and expel the sons of the ancient forest and other races from the stage of history.

But unlike the ancestors and Andals who had traveled all over the continent, the Roynas who finally arrived chose to stay at Dorn, where they first landed, and merged with some of the indigenous people here.

Over time, the Dornese generally possessed the bloodline of the Loynas, and the salt people were the most important of these - the Loynas was a race with olive skin and dark hair.

The god they believed in was the river called Lorne, which they respected as the mother river of Lorne.

However, that was the belief of ancient Loy, and these mixed-race Dorn Salt men in front of him were likely to have forgotten it. But when Renli heard the tone of the name of Mother River, he quickly calmed down and spoke to the big man again.

"I dreamed of the Mother River, I learned His will, so I want to take this woman to sacrifice to Him. You don't understand this, so I can forgive you for your misunderstanding of me. But now, make the way out and prepare a boat and the paddle for me. When I successfully return, it is time for you to completely get rid of the disaster of the Dragon!"

The black-haired young man spoke arrogantly, but unfortunately he did not achieve his wish. Instead, his words made all riders stare at him again, and they all held the weapons in their hands and were ready to move.

"Even if you are a traitor, you must not joke about our mother river!" The leader of the big-shoulder, round-waisted, black-haired, big-haired, and contemptuous tone: "Or, are you actually a northern bastard?"

"I'm not kidding!" Lan Li immediately retorted after hearing this, and the solemnity on her face gradually turned into anger.

"I have the blood of Roy's human beings flowing. My elders have taught me the greatness of Lorne's mother river since I was a child. I will never joke about it!"

As he said that, he spat at the ground and said fiercely to the enemy leader: "I thought you could understand, but now I find that I was wrong. You humiliated me and threatened me just now. Wait and see, I will take revenge on you!"

These words made people around him furious again. One of the long-faced boys even raised the spear in his hand and was about to charge. However, just as he posed, he was grabbed by the man with messy black hair.

He then looked at Lan Li with suspicion—

The main reason is that this person is too unscrupulous, not as if he is surrounded at all, nor is he ashamed of a traitor at all, but is full of burning arrogance.

Under normal circumstances, he would never let such a provocative person go, but at this moment, the traitor acted completely abnormally. In the past, the great man did know something about the person in front of him. Although he was a little despicable and liked to use poison, he didn't look like a person who would suddenly rebel.

So he became a little skeptical.

"What credentials do you have?"

"No!"

Lan Li on the horse's back said angrily: "But why do I betray my own people? For my selfish desires or for money? Even a fool can tell that I can't survive after betraying the entire Donne! Even if I escape to the free trade city-state, the Donne's assassin will sooner or later find me. Do you think I'm a fool?"

This is true. It doesn't matter if you offend one or two Lords Dorn, but the consequences of offending the entire Dorn are not something that everyone can bear.

According to historical records, when the First Dorn War was at its peak, the two sides sent assassins to assassinate the other leader, and the conqueror Aegon was almost stabbed to death in Junlin, which also led to the birth of a guard organization such as the Imperial Guard that protects the king.

Although the Donen riders around him didn't understand this, they always had a blind confidence in their own side. So they looked at each other after hearing this, and their hostility became much weaker.

Even the leader was in thought, but at this moment, the thin old man beside him spoke gloomyly.

"Who knows what you think? Maybe you fell in love with this dragon bitch, maybe you have other reasons. I warn you, boy! If you deceive us in the name of Mother River, let's ask you to taste how painful the anger of the real Mother River is!"

When the riders around him were speaking, all the riders around him looked at him, even the leader was no exception, and seemed to have a more important position. However, Lan Li was not speechless after hearing this. Although his heart was beating fast, he was furious instead.

"You idiot! If I really want to save her, why didn't I hide? I hid anywhere, and asked Aegon for help when he came to take revenge on us? Instead, I ran here and ran to your idiot's hands!"

This made the old man's face darker, but Ren Li's words did not stop. Instead, they became smoother and more excited as they spoke, as if they had really become a genuine Doneman, and when they mentioned the word Mother River, they were full of fanatical piety.

"That's the best rescue route. What's the use of me coming here? It's because of the people here, it's because of you! Because you have the blood of Roy! Because you understand the greatness of Mother River! Because you can help me get this done! Otherwise, why would I come here? Why? Ah? You all tell me why this is it!"

These words made the Dorns hesitate again. They looked at each other and looked at the leading man and the old man beside him, but found that the two of them were hesitating at this time.

The Dornese were seriously influenced by the Loyna civilization, so cultural customs were significantly different from other places. This influence was particularly prominent among these salt people living by the sea, so although they may no longer believe in the former gods, they cannot completely ignore it.

Without looking carefully, Lan Li noticed the wavering of these people, but it was not yet time to really relax. So he took advantage of the fact that the people around him were not aware of it and spoke again.

"Most of the Dornese never knew this. The bloodlines of the ancestors and the Andals occupied them all, without Royna. So I want to stay away from them! Because they will stop me, they have been blinded by hatred, and they will destroy Dorn in the fire of the demon dragon!"

"The Dragon King of Valylia rises again. He wants to influence our last home, and he does have this ability. Only the Mother River can save us! You idiots, sacrifice this woman to the Mother River, can we obtain redemption. You are the real traitors who block the will of Lorne's Mother River!"

He had already thrown away the weapons in his hand when he spoke, looking fearless, but the more arrogant he was, the more he seemed to prove the correctness of his words. Even Reness, who was beside him, gave him a shocked look.

At first she thought it was Lan Li's trick, but the more she heard it, the more she felt that it was.

The Targaryan family first came from another continent, a country called the Valyrian Free Fortress. Targaryan was originally just one of many dragon-controlling families in that country. Later, after Valyria was destroyed by natural disasters, they became the last Dragon King family in the world.

The rise of the Fortress of Valyria was accompanied by the fall of many other civilizations. The Loynar was one of them and the most tenacious resistance. In other words, the Valynarians and the Loynarians were simply a pair of mortal enemies.

So Reness naturally has some understanding of the history of Loyne.

This civilization has a special water magic inherited from a river called Lorne. At its peak, it even competed with the Valyrian demon dragon. Although it finally had to abandon its homeland and fled to Westeros, it also caused serious losses to Valyrian.

As a Valyrian, Renis could not have understood this, but because she understood it, she realized that what Renli said was not false, and that sacrifice was indeed true.

And what sacrifice would be stronger than the bloodline of a Valyrian Dragon King who once brought Royer to the destruction of the destruction?

...

So is this his real purpose?

The little queen knew this, so she was quite annoyed and desperate. She felt that she was really childish and ridiculous before, and believed the words of this cunning Donor.

Relatively speaking, although most of the Dorn riders around were illiterate, they also grew up listening to the great achievements of their ancient ancestors. It is natural that they could not know some of the true and false tricks. Even the old man with thin cheeks kept claiming to be a sacrifice to Lorne's mother river.

The old man does have a special power. Not to mention anything else, praying all day long allows him to vaguely gain a premonition ability. For example, ambushing early tonight was because he dreamed of a silver dragon coming along the river. At the same time, because of his special status, he also learned about the real result of the Prison Gate Fort incident before.

But at this moment, the priest ran into a guy who called himself the messenger of the mother river...

The atmosphere became a little weird for a moment. Although the riders did not rush up, they did not completely agree with Lan Li's words. Instead, they kept hesitating and wandering around in place, looking at the leading old priest and the black-haired man.

However, these two were standing there frowning and silently, and they didn't seem to know what to do.

Seeing this, Lan Li gritted her teeth.

"I know you idiots doubt me, it's okay, Mother River has given me strength, and I can show it to you, and then you naturally know what to do!"

These words made the contemplative old priest raise their eyes, and their turbid eyes were mixed with expectation and suspicion.
