Sword and Magic and Taxi

Chapter 218: Blood Gate and Eagle's Nest City

As the number of travelers has shrunk sharply, a carriage can hold everyone in. Mrs. Stark, Sir Rodrick, and Tyrion Lannister were sitting in the carriage. They were nobles. Such treatment was customary, so no one made irresponsible remarks. Zhao Mai and the troubadour Marian were seated in the driver's seat in front of the car, Saffore sat on the roof of the car facing back, and Bolong rode around on horseback.

Finally out of the foggy area, the field of vision became wider, and the possibility of ambushing sneak attacks became smaller and smaller. However, Zhao Mai and others still dare not take it lightly. The size of the team is more than half smaller than before. If they encounter the same danger as before, the difficulty of dealing with it is equivalent to at least four times higher.

Everyone was terrified. Except for Zhao Mai, after all, he knew in his heart that even if he encountered thousands of troops, as long as he hid in the car, there would be absolutely no danger. Even if the dragon came, he could let the car escape into the ground and avoid the dragon flame. The dragon here burned Herrenberg with flames for seven days and seven nights, and burned through the earth... probably never possible.

The ease and ease that he showed fell in the eyes of others and it was unpredictable. Everyone was observing him as if they were observing unknown wild animals. This feeling made Zhao Mai very uncomfortable. Maybe in the early days of reform and opening up, those foreigners walking on the street and being onlookers felt this way? It's true that everyone is very polite, but who wants to be watched by curious eyes?

Fortunately, the blood gate finally appeared in front of him, which meant that the Eagle's Nest City was not far away. The Blood Gate is a fortified fortification built on the only road from the Mingyue Mountains to the Eagle's Nest City. Here is the exit of a canyon, allowing up to four knights to ride shoulder to shoulder. The walls on both sides of the gorge are rocky and it is almost impossible to climb. A long city wall and arrow tower have been built at the top to cover the entire gorge. A solid metal gate blocked the exit of the canyon, and there was another one not far away. There are a total of eight arrow towers protecting the area near the gate. Even if there are a hundred thousand troops, there will be no more than six people in a row at a time. The entire canyon is packed with only a few hundred people. It is just two rounds of archery. .

The blood gate has never been captured, here is the nightmare of all infantry and cavalry. However, when Aegon the "Conqueror" took his dragon to destroy other castles from the air, the ruler of the Eagle's Nest clearly understood the weakness of the blood gate, so he did not wait for Aegon to arrive, and led the crowd to surrender. However, a catastrophe in the East was avoided. Of course, Zhao Mai could easily destroy this gate. The direction he could use was even harder to defend, and that was the underground.

But today he doesn't have to worry about this matter, because the team to meet Mrs. Stark has already arrived, and this place has become a welcoming gate instead of a fortress. The young Sir Donald led a team of cavalry, holding aloft the white crescent falcon flag of the Ailin family on a blue background, waiting just before the blood gate.

Mrs. Stark ignored the greeting and asked them to send Sir Roderick to Eagle's Nest immediately, where the bachelor was proficient in medicine, and there might be a chance to keep his legs. Zhao Mai thought for a while, since he has already come here, it would be good to see the doctor's medical skills. In some respects, learning the knowledge of the city is magic. They can even make active corpses, and they can complete it entirely with simple tools and some potions. It is really amazing.

"It's good if someone leads the way, no matter how fast you ride, I can follow." Zhao Mai sat on the carriage and said, "I want to see the bachelor's ability and improve my medical skills."

Caitlin nodded and agreed. As long as Mike asks, it's easy to deal with, if he asks nothing, it's really difficult. "Sir Donald, these are the righteous men I met on the road. Please help me and allow them to pass through the blood gate."

"You know the guard of the blood gate, Sir Blinden Tully, your uncle, I don't think he will refuse your request." Sir Donnel said.

"I miss him very much," said Mrs. Stark. "Take us quickly."

Because of Sir Rodrik's injury, all manners have been simplified, which made Zhao Mai a long sigh of relief. He doesn't like red tape, even if the etiquette brought by sincere feelings, he thinks it is a bit cumbersome. In addition to controlling the direction of the car, his attention is all on the surrounding scenery. After several days of depressive days of walking through the canyon, passing through the blood gate means coming to a new world.

Peaks suddenly spread out on both sides of him, and a green field was located in the central valley of the rolling mountains. This is a peaceful and quiet place. The sweet spring water on the mountain forms a river, which constantly nourishes the fertile black soil in the basin. Hundreds of lakes are dotted on the wilderness like large and small mirrors. So whether it is planting or raising, it is all here. It is the most suitable place. For a long time, the residents of the east have been protected by the mountains, enjoying eternal harvest and tranquility. They deeply love this piece of land where they can live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't want to interfere with the turbulence of the outside world.

The entire basin slopes to the east, stretches to the sea, and ends between steep cliffs. That side is equally easy to defend and difficult to attack. The Longbow Hall guards the only sandy beach that can be landed. The strong castle and loyal lord ensure the safety of the entire valley.

Eagle's Nest City is on the north side of this valley, you can see it from the blood gate, but it is not that simple to think about the past. A group of people need to descend first, enter the fields, pass through the area occupied by barley, wheat and corn, pass three small villages filled with laughter, and then go up the rugged mountain road to the Eagle's Nest City. It is a castle made up of seven towers ~ www.NovelMTL.com ~ is located on the highest mountain here, a dangerous place called "the gun of giants". The tip of the mountain is about 1,500 meters above the ground, and there are only two ways to go up: either slowly walking up the rugged spiral mountain stairs, or being hoisted up with a basket.

"Sir Rodrik, I'm afraid you can only be hung up by a basket, but I hope you can finally go down the stairs. From there, overlooking the valley is the most beautiful view." The speaker was Sir Blinden Tully. He is a weather-beaten old man with white hair and wrinkles gathering around the corners of his eyes and mouth. When he met Caitlin, he called her "little Kate" and was very happy to see this lovely niece again, so he was smiling all the time, with a sincerely happy smile. "After going down the mountain and entering the valley, you can run wildly. I am thinking, can your car hold on?"

"Don't worry, Sir Blackfish."

"Do you know me?" The old man looked at Zhao Mai, but didn't find any badges or signs that could indicate his identity.

"Isn't the gleaming sign of a black fish on the shoulder of your armor? The Tuli family is the sign of a black fish, and you use black. What is it not a black fish?" Zhao Mai's mood changed after enjoying the beauty of the valley. It was great, so I said: "Please rest assured that you will not find a better carriage than this." (To be continued.)
