Tiemin's main religion was the Inami. They believed that the Inami lived in flowing water palaces, brought fire from the sea, and walked through the world's oceans with fire and swords.
In the Inami's teachings, the Inami created Tiemin and taught them to follow the ancient path: replace production with plunder, and write their own lives with blood, fire, and songs.
In other words, rape, pillage, murder, and all sorts of evil deeds were committed, and there was no good to be done.
It was a very anti-human and anti-social religion.
The Storm God was the Inami's eternal enemy. He lived in a hall in the clouds, and the crows were his servants.
Compared to the Inami, the Storm God's teachings were even more rebellious. He would lead his followers astray and lead them to self-destruction.
.....
"Crow's Eye" You Lun had never seen a Deviant before.
He didn't participate in the barbarians' attack on the Wall. He didn't participate in the Battle of Winterfell.
He knew for a long time that there were Deviants beyond the Wall. He knew that the night was coming. He knew that the Deviants would bring the world into a cold and dark abyss just like in Old Nan's story.
But knowing was one thing. He and Tiemin didn't have any direct impression of the Deviants.
So, it was a tragedy for them …
When he first left the King's Landing, You Lun was actually very proud of himself. Because he fought the battle at the King's Landing so well that he almost had Stannis in the palm of his hand.
He took the initiative to give up the city gates and caused heavy casualties to Stannis's army in the streets. He even killed three Wyverns.
After that, he disguised his soldiers as deserters and left the King's Landing intact. He also blew up the Red Keep, making Stannis's efforts go to waste.
No one can take what he has!
Before he blew up the Red Keep, he knew that this would anger Stannis. So, before he left the King's Landing, he set up one last ambush.
If Erlu was still a normal person, he would have been killed by his Dragonslayer crossbow.
Unfortunately, resurrection was a common thing in this era of Deviants.
But You Lun had reason to be happy. His actions at the King's Landing greatly pleased the Storm God.
The gods had blessed him.
Not only did his magic power, which had been destroyed by Saint Matthew, recover, but after sacrificing the Red Castle, the Iron Throne, and the King's Landing, he had also made great progress. He was only a little bit away from becoming a demigod priest of the God of Storms.
Well, You Lun, Crow's Eye, sniping Erlu's soldiers in the streets and alleys, killing the Pterosaur, and even setting fire to the King's Landing and the Red Castle in the end, were not simply venting.
He was performing the greatest sacrificial rites of destruction, destruction, and death, which both the Storm God and the Inami were fond of.
However, he wasn't sacrificing Inami, but the God of Storms.
Just like what Crow's Eye had done in the Shield Islands and the High Court, he had pleased the God of Storms and the God of Storms had granted him great power and magic.
Although You Lun left the King's Landing, you did not return empty-handed.
After the vassals of the Vale betrayed him, Crow's Eye knew that the King's Landing would eventually fall. The city walls could not stop the Pterosaurs in the sky.
Therefore, the wealth of the King's Landing had long been transferred to the Riverbend.
The carriages from the Riverbend carried food, and the carriages that left the King's Landing and returned to the High Court were loaded with gold and jewels.
The amount was not small, more than three million gold royals, all of which were exchanged with food from the Riverbend.
The Iron Throne transported food from the High Court to the King's Landing, not to distribute it to the people for free, but to stabilize the market with cheap food, to give the people hope and prevent them from rioting.
You Lun himself did not care about gold, but Tiemin loved gold. With this money, even if he left the King's Landing, he could still firmly control Tiemin in his hands.
Not only Tiemin, but he also had the key to the throne of the King of the Riverbend in his hands.
Margaery Tyrell!
Little Rose was not dead, and had been living in the Neodymium House, under the care of the church's nannies. She was treated almost the same as Cersei.
Before Erlu attacked the King's Landing, You Lun had taken Margaery from the Neodymium House. After he had crippled Cersei and was on his way back to the High Court, he had married her.
The Riverbend was the wealthiest kingdom of the Seven Kingdoms, with the strongest military and the largest population. It was enough for You Lun, King to torment!
With Tiemin's support, the food from the High Court, and the Riverbend Throne as a foundation, You Lun felt that even if the Otherworldly Demons swept through the Seven Kingdoms, he could sit on the Shield Islands and watch the changes in the Seven Kingdoms.
Just as his ex-wife had planned, let the heroes fight the Otherworldly Demons, and when they had bled dry, when both the Otherworldly Demons and the heroes had suffered great losses, he would appear with his preserved power.
You Lun happily left the King's Landing with his beautiful imagination for the future.
Then, he saw the Living Dead for the first time by the Mander River, 400 kilometers northeast of the High Court.
In the past half a month, especially in the past two days, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of Ghouls had rushed out from the Western Region. Tiemin just happened to run into a group of 100,000 Ghouls in the wilderness.
To the Dragon Queen and the Western Region Volunteers, it was only 100,000 Ghouls. They were already used to it, and if there were not more than 100,000 Ghouls gathered together, they would not rush over to stop them.
But this was the first time in Tiemin's life that he had seen such a large number of Living Dead.
From the King's Landing to the High Court, they had walked along the Mander River for half a month. They had also encountered small groups of Living Dead outside the city, in the graveyard, and in the village. But in the face of Tiemin's large army, they all took the initiative to retreat.
100,000 Ghouls ran on the snow like a flood breaking through a dam.
Tiemin rode a horse and drove a carriage along the frozen river, forming a long snake formation. They were completely defenseless against the incoming enemy.
But Tiemin was also dauntless. At first, he did not panic and run away.
"The dead will not die!" They put down the leather bags with gold royals on their backs, pulled out the iron swords at their waists, shouted the slogan, and rushed forward.
Then, You Lun's bodyguard Robert's eyes lit up. He suddenly turned on Tiemin and killed him.
Before Tiemin could react, the tide of Ghouls rushed over. The living people panicked and shouted, "Seven Gods above!", "Mother of God bless!", "Inami bless!", "Seven Hells!", "Help!", and so on. But in the end, they were drowned by the tide of Ghouls.
Not even the slightest wave was raised.
When Danny chased the Ghouls army to the Mander River, she just happened to see this scene … the scene of the foot washing water washing away rat droppings.
The so-called tide of Ghouls was just a rabbit being chased by her. It was not a flood at all. At most, it was a basin of foot washing water.
And Tiemin was like a string of rat droppings on the stone steps in front of the hall. He was instantly drowned by the foot washing water.
But the rat who took a dump was not washed away by the water. He was still struggling.
You Lun naturally could not walk. He had a magnificent and spacious dog sleigh.
Before the tide of Ghouls rushed over, You Lun felt the cold air getting colder. His sled dog also sensed danger ahead. When the tide of Ghouls appeared in their field of vision, they had the opportunity to turn around and run.
Other than You Lun, there were also dozens of sleighs and hundreds of horsemen on short-legged hairy horses.
Looking down from the sky, the current scene was somewhat comical.
In the vast and flat snowy plains by the river, You Lun's remaining troops were at the front. In the middle was the scattered Ghouls, and behind them was the Dragon Queen who was chasing after them.
You Lun ran like a snake, avoiding the pursuit of the Ghouls.
The Ghouls followed the breath of the living and approached You Lun. Their formation was getting denser and denser.
And Dragon Queen's Tornado only had a range of twenty to thirty meters. The Ghouls scattered and ran. She could only choose to chase after the Ghouls in the densest formation and let go of the Ghouls that fled in all directions.
Perhaps the Deviant Ghosts controlling the Ghouls also noticed this. They deliberately left a team to cover the rear while the rest scattered and retreated.
Since they had already decided to sacrifice their lives to cover the rear, they did not mind killing the living person in front of them (You Lun). Thus, they chased after You Lun even more urgently.
In this way, You Lun, Ghouls, and Dragon Queen's Tornado were all moving in an "S" shape in the snow.
In the beginning, the distance was a little far. The sky was dark and the visibility was low. Tiemin did not see the Tornado a few kilometers away. As You Lun ran, he stood on the sled and opened his arms. He faced the fierce wind that hit his face and prayed loudly to the Storm God.
The mysterious and powerful incantation floated in the wind. Tiemin who saw his actions were full of reverence and expectation.
Yolun Of Silla was the Storm God's priest. He had already performed the Storm God's miracles countless times. Tiemin had seen them all. Many people had even converted to the Storm God because of this.
They hoped that the miracles would appear again.
Yolun Of Silla was also confident that he could escape this time.
Many years before today, he had encountered many dangers. Every time he prayed, he would receive the help of the gods.
To use the most popular saying in the Seven Kingdoms, Yolun Of Silla was the Storm God's Holy Son. He was on the same level as Saint Danny and Saint Erlu. They were all Children of God!
Of course, after this, there would be a blood sacrifice to repay the gods. However, Yolun Of Silla did not care. After all, he was not the one being sacrificed.
Gradually, the wind started to blow.
A storm gathered above Yolun Of Silla's head. The Storm God's will descended to the mortal world.
However, this time, the Storm God did not give any guidance or blessing to Yolun Of Silla. Instead, he laughed at him. "You Lun, my most beloved believer, this is your fate!
Entertain me for the last time. Satisfy me, make me laugh, in your own pathetic, funny, unexpected, miserable and despairing way of dying! "
"No, Storm God, my fate should not end here." You Lun's face gradually became ferocious as he shouted.
"Hahaha!" The Storm God laughed. "On the sea, you sacrificed the passengers and crew to me. On the earth, you offered me death, blood, and lamentations.
The blood sacrifice at Highcourt Tyrell was especially satisfying. That was the happiest time in thousands of years, second only to the King's Landing and the Iron Throne … "
The Storm God smacked his lips as if he was savoring the taste. "The king has the king's blood, and the kingdom has the king's blood. Compared to the king's blood, the king's blood is just leftovers.
To be able to let me taste the blood of the kingdom from the ancestral land before R'hllor, You Lun, you are indeed my favorite believer. "
"Your Majesty, I can still sacrifice more for you!" You Lun shouted.
"From the sea to the land, from a normal merchant to a noble, from a normal noble to a duke of the Seven Kingdoms, from a duke to the King of the Seven Kingdoms. You Lun, my Holy Son, you have reached the peak of your life.
Now, it is your turn. You are the final sacrifice. "The Storm God's tone became cunning and greedy.
"No, you have just given me divine power. I still want to become a Demigod. I want to sit and watch the changes in the Seven Kingdoms. When the time comes, I will rise again and become even stronger." You Lun said angrily.
"Hehehe, I'm looking forward to seeing how you survive today …" The Storm God laughed.
You Lun's struggle and resistance were already pleasing him.
Luring the Iron Seed to his own destruction was the core of the Storm God's teachings. It was like justice to the Heavenly Father and mercy to the Holy Mother.
This was the unique nature of the Storm God, divinity!
If Tiemin and the Iron Islands were an independent world, then the Inami would be the God of the Iron Seed, and the Storm God would be the Satan who tempted the Iron Seed to fall and destruction.
Those who believed in Satan would eventually fall into hell.
