Chapter 25 White City

In the years after the oath between the First Men and the Children of the Forest, the skinchangers were not heretics and monsters, but prophets and priests respected by everyone.

But 4000 years later, the blond and blue-eyed Andals came here. They brought weapons made of fine steel and painted a seven-pointed star on their chests that symbolized the new god. Armed with firm beliefs, they crossed the sea and killed them.

Speaking of this, I can't help but make people want to complain: mmp, 4000 years ago, you were all bronze civilization, and you lived with the magical children of the forest for 4000 years, the magic civilization did not develop, the technological civilization shit, and the civilization stagnated.

In 4000 years, you haven't transitioned from a mature bronze civilization to an iron civilization, eat shit!

It deserves that the Seven Kingdoms were easily swept away by others (not perishing, most of them chose to surrender or change families, or marry the Andals), only the Northern Territory, because of the natural barrier of the Neck, reluctantly defeated the "ancestors" power is preserved.

Well, Neck Ze can be understood as the "Shu Road" in Westeros, where one man is the gate and ten thousand people cannot open it, and there is still no "only channel" that "Chen Cang" allows you to cross secretly (in fact, there is also a sea route).

How difficult is the neck to pass?

During the period of "Five Kings' struggle for hegemony", the demoralized iron people used 63 archers to block the army of ten thousand people in the northern border for three years!

The North was not dominated by the Starks when the Andals invaded.

In addition to Stark, there are many powerful lord forces, such as the Bolton family who like to skin people.

Don't look at Little Peeling and Old Leech's unique taste and surly personality, their family background really doesn't lose to Stark at all.

At that time, several Stark masters were skinned by the Boltons, um, and used their human skins to make cloaks.

So awesome!

Closer to home, in the process of realizing the unification of the northern border, Stark is also gradually carrying out a process of "getting rid of the ancestors".

Although Stark has always said "I am the ancestors" and the like, and has always insisted on the tradition of believing in the "old gods", in fact, they are no longer pure ancestors.

The last recorded skinchanger lord, Lord Sea Dragonhorn, known as "Wolf King", was a loyal ally of the Children of the Forest.

But the Starks killed him and his sons, his beast pets and the Greenseers, leaving only his daughters as trophies.

——Will the real ancestors kill the Green Seer?

Do you still remember the sacred covenant signed with the children of the forest in Qianmian Islet today?

Only the wildlings beyond the Wall and the Marshmen of the Neck are the orthodox First Men, and they still retain the reverence for the Greenseers, while the Starks are only of the blood of the First Men.

Not only the Stark family, the Lannister of Casterly Rock, the Highgarden family of Garth the Green Hand, and Durandon of the Stormlands (Baratheon inherited Storm's End after Aegon's invasion), they all They are descendants of the ancestors, and they all have thousands of years of belief in the old gods.

Back then, skinchangers weren't the monsters everyone shouted about.

But after the Andals successfully invaded Westeros, there was no belief in the seven gods, replacing the original but real old gods.

A bit ironic.

The major families in the south, the godswood forest representing the old sacred church, has gradually become a garden for ladies and children to play.

The skinchangers and greenseers are gradually demonized, almost like the White Walkers, becoming characters who must be killed when they encounter them.

As long as you meet someone who can communicate with animals south of the Great Wall, people around will kill him immediately.

Thousands of years have passed in this way, and by the generation of Ed Stark's children, the wolf spirit has become an existence in fairy tales.

Even if you loudly say that you are a wolf spirit, others will only laugh and mock you for daydreaming.

Therefore, Jon, Arya, Bran, and even Robb were very resistant to their own wolf essence. Not only did they not develop their talents, but they wanted to seal them.

Dani's "Mother of Dragons" talent is definitely not inferior to that of the Green Prophet. The probability of Green Prophet appearing is one in a million. In the heyday of the old god belief, there were at least one or two in every generation.And Dany may be the only "Mother of Dragons" in Valyria's 5000-year history.

Well, genetic mutants.

Daenerys in the original plot is more resistant to her own talents and instincts than Jon.

She wants to play with dragons, but her partners and subjects are afraid of dragons; she wants to hunt with dragons freely, but she is too busy to be distracted, and because she is worried that dragons will go out and hurt people, she locks them up regardless of the young dragon's screams Get up; she wants to fly away on a dragon, to be done, but then she remembers her duty to her subjects.

At that time, she lost even the dragon dream, and almost unilaterally lost all contact with the dragon—her black dragon could still sense her safety.

That Daenerys was a good queen and failed mother of dragons.She put the cart before the horse, obsessed with her status as queen, and completely gave up the title of "Mother of Dragons".

That is not only a title, but also the fundamental meaning of her existence.

Now this Dani is different, even if no one teaches her, she still develops her natural abilities in her own way.

Her efforts also paid off. During the flight of the black dragon, Dani gained his vision through the soul connection of Dragon Dream.

The wolf spirit can not only acquire the five senses of animals, but also occupy the wolf's body as a human, which cannot be regarded as controlling its behavior.Instead, he turned himself into a wolf, which can be regarded as temporarily seizing the wolf.

The reason why Danni is only a "secondary dragon spirit" is because her control over dragons is much worse than that of wolf spirits over companion animals.

She can only receive information from the black dragon's five senses, let alone becoming a dragon, she cannot control their actions.

Moreover, except for the black dragon, not only can she not control different kinds of animals like the skinchanger, but even the white dragon and the green dragon, Dany can't establish a stable dragon dream with them.

It wasn't that the two dragons were repelling her.

How should I put it? It's a bit like a skill position can only choose one skill. As the connection between her and the black dragon becomes closer, the other two dragons are less likely to have dragon dreams with her.

——Actually, wolf spirits also have a “skill position” limitation. Those with high talents can control more animals, while those with poor talents can only control a dog—dogs are the most docile and easy to control.Varamyr, who can control six animals, gets a bandit number "Glory" of "Six Shaped Man".

Ser Jorah told Dany that each dragon has only one master, and a person can only control one dragon.No one else can ride his dragon alone until the current owner dies.

Well, outsiders can take a ride as passengers, accompanied by the dragon's master.

Similarly, Targaryen, who already has a dragon, cannot control another dragon.

"Hey, what's that?" Dany was suddenly awakened.

Just now, she caught a glimpse of an unusual scene.

The black dragon's vision is astonishing, it seems that it can see scenes dozens of kilometers away at a height of one thousand meters.

It's not very clear, and it doesn't last long, but the color of the red wasteland is too single, a uniform dark red.

Previously, through the perspective of the black dragon, Dany could only see the blue sky, the red comet, and the dark red plain with varying degrees of clarity.

Suddenly, the moment the black dragon turned around, Dani saw that the ground, which had always been dark red, suddenly appeared white.

Seems like a city?A rocky hill of a particular color?

"Dahei, don't be wild, help me find the white one just now, it seems to be a city." She said anxiously in her heart.

According to the Dothraki tradition, animals other than humans should not be named. Dany doesn't think her dragons are animals, they are legendary beings, not inferior to humans.

So early on, she named them.

uh, big black, little white, little green

Well, that was a nickname, she used to be called that.

The black dragon isn't called "Deathwing", it's a waste of his hellish black and red scale armor.

But "Deathwing" is such a hated name, she doesn't want her baby dragon to die.When he is invincible in the world, let him use his big mouth that smells of brimstone and death to say: My name is Deathwing, the Destroyer of Destiny, the Terminator of all things, I am the Cataclysm

Hmm, very touching.

The other two are much more common, jadeite and white jade.

The green dragon is as crystal clear as jade, and its body is like the finest emerald. It is a kind of green full of vitality.

The main body of the white dragon has a warm and moist color like white jade, but along the lines of the bones, it is the color of platinum like sunlight, exuding a revered and sacred atmosphere.

If others ask, she will tell them that the black dragon scales are shining like black spar, so it is called "black diamond".

Emerald, white jade, and black diamond are all beautiful, harmless and lovable gemstones.The name is completely non-aggressive, so as to conceal the fact that they are the most brutal creatures in the world.

"Hissing——" the black dragon found the piece of whiteness that Dani needed, like a reflection of a mirror.

The pupils of the dragon eyes contracted, and a piece of white light on the dark red ground continued to enlarge.

"That's really a city!" Dany exclaimed delightedly.

About 30 kilometers southwest of Kalashar, outside the range of her water-feeding cavalry.

"I almost missed it." She patted her chest in fear.

After all, the black dragon was a baby dragon. He flapped his wings and fell back into the basket behind Dany after he didn't last long.

Dany immediately went to Jorah and told him about it.

"This" the knight looked shocked, not only surprised by the appearance of the city, but also marveled that the young dragon's sight can see so far, and Dany can still share the vision with it.

"Your Highness, I have never heard of a city in the Red Wasteland, and I don't even know that humans have settled in this place that even demons despise." He rubbed his chin and said cautiously.

But Dany thought of the dry river that she had encountered before, and said: "Maybe it is a civilization lost in the long river of history. The distance is too far, and the dragon can't see clearly. I only know that the city is very big and it will never be a village. Both you and I You know, today's red wasteland is absolutely unable to support a large city."

"Abandoned city?" Jorah nodded, and thoughtfully said, "Let Tanma go and have a look first, that place can at least hide from the sun."

The 30 kilometers was only an hour or two of riding. Before noon, Ago returned with two other fighters.

"Kalixi, you read that right, it is indeed a stone city, the whole is white. But there are no residents, the city gates are broken, the houses have collapsed, only the wind and sand and flies shuttle through the streets. It is a dead city, I don't know The name, without the favor of the gods, we should avoid it."

"Why?" Dany asked puzzledly: "No one is better, we can occupy it as we like. If there are residents, I'm still worried about their attitude towards the khalasar."

Ji Qi said tremblingly: "Once the gods leave, the evil spirits will go out to hunt at night. It is best to avoid such places, as everyone knows."

"Everyone knows." Yili agreed.
