Tyrion remembered the red priest Thoros of Myr and his flaming sword. Even a thin coating of wildfire could burn for an hour. Thoros always needed a new sword after a melee, but Robert had been fond of the man and ever glad to provide one. "Why doesn't it seep into the clay as well?"

提利昂想起密尔的红袍僧索罗斯和他那把火焰剑:涂上薄薄一层的野火,长剑便可燃烧一小时。索罗斯每次比武都要换把新剑。劳勃很喜欢那家伙,甚至乐于提供新剑给他。“它们为什么不渗进陶土?”

"Oh, but it does," said Hallyne. "There is a vault below this one where we store the older pots. Those from King Aerys's day. It was his fancy to have the jars made in the shapes of fruits.
