Chapter 132 Pale Mare

After Bono led a team of cavalry to the south, the sun began to rise gradually from the east.

The clear sky penetrated the broken clouds and fell on the grassland.

Mungo and his party also left Vaes Dothrak at the same time. They rode along the Avenue of the Gods for many miles.

Along the way, smiling tribesmen could be seen everywhere. They had just woken up from their sleep and drove the carriages loaded with tools, food and water towards the city in the morning light.

According to the drawings discussed and made by the scholars and craftsmen, they would first dig a ditch and nine huge reservoirs around the holy city, and then bring the water source at the foot of the Holy Mother Mountain into the city.

When it was bright, the clouds disappeared in the south, and the sky became blue. Mungo and his party were still galloping on the Avenue of the Gods, which was full of the relics of the gods.

Suddenly, Nohat, who was leading the way, turned back and shouted to them.

He went straight to the front right, stood on the mountain wall on both sides of the road, and pointed to the right. The others hurriedly caught up and found that there was a deep and narrow river valley below.

The river valley was very empty and quiet, with only a trickle of water flowing slowly on the riverbed covered with gravel.

There was a broken and broken path on the right, following the direction of the river flow, winding along the collapsed and broken rock wall.

"Found it, it's here."

Nohat sat on the horse in a daze, shouting with a dull expression:

"This place used to be a place where a big river flowed. We all called it the Rock River. It was a very turbulent river before. I don't know what happened to the water here. The storm just passed not long ago.

Officer Orver stared at the rather strange scene in front of him with wide eyes and frowned, while Bachelor Bas Porter kept stroking his short beard on his chin, and both of them looked thoughtful.

Mungo didn't speak, raised his whip, and signaled everyone to continue on the road.

They walked along the broken path and deep river valley for a long time, and several mountains in the north slowly opened up in front of them.

Soon Afterwards, they came to a river bend, where the river valley that had been flowing south along the mountain suddenly turned from west to east, and the terrain rose sharply.

After crossing this sharp bend, everyone saw a cliff with no top in sight, composed of messy broken wood and sandstone, appearing in front of them.

The stone wall was about dozens of feet high, with a broken and uneven surface, and occasionally some very rare water would flow down.

From the scene in front of them, the Rock River was formed by the convergence of the ravines between the three mountains. It should be the previous storm that caused the mountain torrent to burst, and finally formed this dam-like cliff, blocking the river.

"The reason is obvious. We have solved the mystery of the drying up of the Rock River."

Ofer stood in front of everyone, smiled and turned back, and said to the others who followed closely behind:

"If I remember correctly, there should be an ancient staircase on the mountain on the right. Our top priority now is to climb to the top of the peak to see the real situation behind the cliff.

Bachelor Bas Porter nodded in agreement, dismounted without hesitation, stepped over Orver, and shouted impatiently:

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go!"

Everyone found the stone steps easily, and the bachelor took the lead and walked to the front.

However, before they reached the top of the mountain, they found that there was no need to move forward.

Above their heads, the midday sun made the whole sky golden, and under their feet was a deep, still lake.

The dark and deep lake water could not even reflect any light. The blocked rock river filled the entire valley into a lake.

The bachelor stood excitedly on a very steep cliff, looking down at the endless and unfathomable water surface.

His eyes sparkled, as if he had seen an extremely precious treasure, and he shouted excitedly:

"The Stone River flows straight south along the valley path we came from, towards Vaes Dothrak."

"Now it is not only the closest river to the Holy City, but the water flow is also enough to fill the nine large reservoirs completely, meeting the water needs of all the tribes and livestock in the city."

"Send someone to dig it up quickly, which will undoubtedly reduce the planned construction period by a long period of time."

Ofer was not so optimistic. He pointed to the other side of the lake and said worriedly:

"There is the cliff that blocks the river, and look at these bottomless lakes, they will definitely be a huge trouble."

The heavy words of the affairs officer made everyone start to think deeply.

The scholar standing aside frowned and thought for a while, then he reacted completely and said apologetically:

"I didn't think it through. The cliffs at the bottom of the mountain are very tall and thick. Even if we use a lot of manpower, we may not be able to dig successfully."

"Moreover, there is so much lake water stored in the valley. Once the cliffs burst, the tribesmen involved in this project will have no chance of survival."

Monggu stood on the cliff without saying a word. After a moment, his eyes lit up and he spoke in a brisk tone.

In the silent atmosphere, everyone could hear what he said:

"No matter what, we must dredge the Rock River."

"Maybe I have another way. If we do it according to my plan, it will not require much manpower and no one will be sacrificed. Let's go back and prepare!"

At this point, everyone nodded in agreement, and they set off immediately to return to Vaes Dothrak.

——

It was late, and the cold starlight began to flicker above the darkening sky.

Mungo and his party galloped on their horses, trying to walk on the fast and flat Avenue of the Gods as much as possible.

But in the gradually dimming sky, they couldn't figure out how far they had run to the south.

The only thing that was certain was that the outline of the Mother of God in the north was getting smaller and smaller, and it was getting more and more blurred and farther away from everyone.

When Nohat, who was walking at the front of the team, recognized a familiar scene, everyone suddenly saw a subtle red light reflected in front of them.

Everyone suddenly reined in their horses and looked up.

I saw the weeping blood star dragging red light, floating above the grassland, its color was almost deep to blood red, and it could illuminate the entire sky.

It was as if a blood-red giant eye was monitoring the whole world, disturbing this stagnant and boring mortal world.

Just outside the city of Qohor, Daenerys Targaryen sat in a carriage with a three-headed red dragon emblem on a black background, preparing to enter the city to rest.

At this moment, the fossilized dragon egg in her arms trembled slightly. She quickly lifted the curtain and stared at the red comet in the sky without moving, with a strong throbbing in her heart.

At this moment, she felt that it was indeed as the knights of the Golden Group said, that the star was leading her direction and illuminating her future.

Perhaps Mongol Khal was her final destination. Thinking of this, her lavender eyes bloomed with fresh vitality.

As if she had a feeling in her heart, Daenerys issued the first order since she left Pentos: give up entering the city and set off in the direction where the red comet was moving away.

The mercenaries who received the order looked at the skull jungle that still remained outside the city where the Qohor people dared not move lightly, and lowered their heads in fear. Without saying a word, they went straight around the city wall and continued to move eastward.

Just as the Dosh Khaleen prophet Kasdanda's last prophecy: the eastern sky was covered with sunlight, and there was a red light flickering in the west, and a pale mare was coming towards the holy land.
