Game of Thrones: Holy Flame King
Chapter 61: assimilate into

  Chapter 61 Integration

   "Mom, what a big change here!"

  Natalie held her mother Nora's arm, looked around with her vivid purple eyes, and finally let out a sigh of emotion.

   "It's really big."

The mother and daughter walked on the flat stone road of Yingzui Islet, looking at the busy savages passing by, as well as the neat wooden houses, towers, and castles rising from the ground, they seemed to be coming here in a trance. Arrived in a busy city.

  It's hard to imagine that just a few months ago, this place was just a barren and inhabited valley.

  Natalie wanted to see the castle, which had already laid the foundation and built the outer wall about three feet high, but was dragged by her mother to the orphanage.

The yard is not big, it is simply surrounded by a fence, and there are more than a dozen wooden houses built inside. Hundreds of children gathered in the square surrounded by the houses, the older ones are eleven or twelve years old, and the younger ones are only three or four years old. .

  They were all wearing shabby animal skin clothes, shaking their heads and singing:

  "Heavenly Father has a resolute and strong face, adjudicating fallacies and upholding justice, judging the length of good fortune and longevity, loving children with kindness;

  The Virgin brings the blessing of life, guarding and caring for every woman, her smile ends the fight, and she tenderly caresses the little children;

  The warrior stands before the enemy..."

  Nara knew that this was the song of the Seven Gods.

   She was not surprised by this. After all, the lord is a knight of the Seven Gods, and he will definitely spread the belief of the Seven Gods in the territory, which is understandable.

   Moreover, the other party did not use strong means to force all the citizens to convert to the Seven Gods, which is already very kind.

There are many elderly people around this group of children. Some of them sing along, some bask in the sun with their eyes squinted, and some do some simple handicrafts... However, these people are full of smiles on their faces. It seems that I am very satisfied with my life here.

  After the song of the Seven Gods was sung, the children skillfully changed to another song.

Nora hadn't heard this song before, but after listening to it for a while, she realized that it was actually a song praising the young lord, and the lyrics were quite explicit, thanking the lord for giving us food, thanking the lord for giving us shelter, We are forever grateful...

   "Mother, that lord is not ashamed! He actually asked someone to write a song for himself." Natalie whispered in her mother's ear.

  Nara also wanted to laugh, but she still defended the other party: "However, he is really not bragging. These old people and children have been well taken care of."

  Natalie's small mouth under the veil pouted, but she didn't refute.

   After watching for a while, the mother and daughter left the orphanage and headed for the lord's cabin.

   "Lord Caesar."

   "Haha, Mrs. Nora, I've been looking forward to you for a long time!" Samwell warmly stood up and welcomed you.

  He glanced at the little girl next to Nora who was almost printed out of a mold, and said clearly:

   "This must be your daughter, right?"

   "Yes, this is my daughter, Natalie."

  Natalie bowed her knees and bowed to Samwell, and then she retracted behind her mother, only curiously looking at the young River Bend nobleman in front of her with her vivid purple eyes.

  Samwell smiled gently at the little girl, and then asked Nora:

   "Madam Nora, have you found the ghost grass I want?"

  Nara nodded, and handed over an animal skin bag: "We found a total of fifty-four plants this time."

  Samwell took it quickly, opened it and saw that it was indeed the ghost grass that he ate before that could increase spiritual attributes, nodded in satisfaction, and then took the corresponding silver deer to Nora without counting it in detail.

  Nara took the silver deer, thanked her again, and then asked:

   "Master Caesar, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"You say."

   "I want the elderly and children of the Youya tribe to stay in your orphanage. I don't know what price we need to pay for this?"

  Samwell smiled and said: "The orphanage is prepared for my subjects, so as long as you become my subjects."

Nora pondered for a moment, then shook her head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, my lord, it's not that we don't want to submit, but that the Wandering Crows have always only served the old gods, so...however, we can pay money, or ghost grass, animal skins, and dried meat ..."

Samwell interrupted: "Surrendering to me does not prevent you from continuing to serve the old gods. You should be clear that I have never forced my subjects to convert to the seven gods. You can even continue your old way of life, as long as you continue to serve the old gods on a regular basis." Just pay my taxes."

  Nara's eyes were still struggling.

  Seeing this, Samwell said again:

   "If you really don't want to surrender, there is another way."

"any solution?"

Samwell pointed to the little girl who was shrinking behind her mother: "Let your daughter stay in Yingzui Island, so that I can safely accept the old people and children of the Youya tribe into the orphanage. Don't worry, I will treat her like my own sister."

  When Natalie heard this, her eyes widened immediately, her hands tightly clutching her mother's sleeves, like a frightened deer.

  Nara hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, I need to think about it before I give you an answer."

   "Yes." Samwell nodded, "I will leave for Starfall City in three days, just give me an answer before then."

   When talking about Starfall City, Samwell stared closely at Nora's eyes, and then he really noticed a well-hidden fluctuation.

  It seems that this Nora may really be Ashara Dayne, and her so-called amnesia is probably just a lie.

  But then there was a question—since Ashara didn't lose her memory, why didn't she return to Starfall City?

   Are mountains more comfortable than castles?

   "Okay, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Nora turned around and left the hut with her daughter as if nothing had happened.

  Out the door, Natalie hugged her mother's arm and shouted:

   "Mother, I don't want to stay here! I want to follow you all the time!"

"Stupid child. How could you have been following me?" Nora's eyes flickered with a lonely expression, she pointed to the castle under construction in front of her, "Didn't you always want to live in a majestic castle? Follow me no."

   "Then I will live in the castle with you too!"

"Natalie, listen to me." Nora's expression became serious, "We have been taken care of by the Crow Tribe for more than ten years, and it's time to give back to them. Besides, it's better for you to stay in Yingzui Island It's better for me to run around in the mountains..."

   "I don't! I'm going to follow you everywhere!" Natalie's tone was already crying.

  Na stretched out her hand to wipe off the crystals from the corners of her daughter's eyes, but she didn't expect to wipe more and more.

But her tone is still strong: "Natalie, you are different from me. You do not belong to this mountain forest, but should soar in a wider world. I once heard the whisper of the gods under the heart tree, He should treat you There are other arrangements."

  Natalie threw herself into her mother's arms, weeping uncontrollably.

  Nara caressed her daughter's hair, looked up to the northeast—

  Her eyes seemed to cross the vast bay and saw the castle flying the purple flag.

  Complicated emotions filled Nora's heart, making her speechless for a while.

   Only silently read in my heart——

  I can't go back, but hope...

  Can you go back...

   Thanks to the boss "Miracle_Hughes" for the reward!
