Chapter 24
"The blood comet's tail is really getting longer, and Wason has joined Khal's team!" Aggo exclaimed in amazement, pointing to the blood-colored trail in the sky.
When ordinary horse people are cremated, they don't actually need to look for signs in the night sky, but Dany does what she says. After putting the old man's body on the small pyre, she really shouted , shouted a few times to the sky.
Then horse people were horrified to "discover" the comet's tail a little longer.
The comet is constantly approaching the planet, and theoretically it will become brighter and brighter, and the comet tail will become clearer and clearer, but in just a few words, it is impossible to see such a significant change.
Illusion, everything is an illusion.
But Dany didn't correct them, but ordered with a solemn, unfathomable expression: "Kill the horse!"
A stubborn horse was brought over, um, Sure enough, it's more robust than Wason's previous mounts.
Two warriors hold the horse's head, the third horse men's machete shines, and a white line reflects the torch's red light, piercing the dim night sky of the dawn.
The horse neighed and struggled, only to make the blood arrow squirt harder from the neck.
"crash-bang", the dark red horse blood waterfall generally falls into the copper basin below.
"Bring over the docile grass horse," Dany added.
An elderly Dothraki warrior hearing this came out, carrying a grass horse made of sticks and Devilgrass on his shoulders.
“Soul leave the body!” She pointed her right hand to the horse of Final Struggle, and shouted continuously in Mandarin Chinese, English, Sichuan dialect, and Dothraki language.
To her Khalasar clan, Khaleesi appears to be chanting a string of mysterious incantation.
"Mommy, Mommy!" After chanting a few words of "incantation" that Dany oneself didn't know what it meant, she slammed her arm and pointed her left hand at the grass horse, "Soul returns. Place!"
Under the awe of the horse people and the dazed gaze of Jorah, Dany gasped for a while, then glanced at everyone and said, "Okay, the horse's spirit has entered the grass horse, this will be a A rare precious horse with the docility of a grass horse and the high-spirited horse divine strength, old Watson no longer has to worry about not being able to catch up with Khal, and he does not need to be afraid of falling off the horse!”
"Put the grass horse on it, it's almost dawn, and prepare to set fire to it." She waved and ordered.
"Then how to deal with this?" The warrior, who was holding the horse to let blood, pointed at the horse's corpse with tears in its eyes, and asked nervously.
Khaleesi is not only The Unburnt and Mother of Dragons, but also knows the Magic used by Priest, so awesome!
"You're stupid, of course you just grilled it." Dany rolled his eyes, said ill-humoredly.
She is so poor and frustrating, isn't it just to save food as much as possible while completing the tradition of horse people.
Wason's body was roasting in the fire, and a group of horse people in a frenzy was busy outside the fire. Some people roasted horse meat, and some people cooked soup in iron pots - horse blood, horse bones, barley, Dried apples, turnip chunks, peppercorns are fragrant without adding salt.
Well, I don't know if it's the aroma of the food, or the burnt aroma of burning Watson's meat, or a combination of the two?
The bizarre taste increases appetite, horse people and Jorah are both snoring.
Dany couldn't stand it by himself, he carried a bamboo basket on his back and a basket of barbecued meat, and ran away with the excuse of how to train a dragon.
Day 4 Khalasar, like the previous days, set off at dusk, with puddles marked by rocks and stakes constantly visible along the way.
The situation is a bit better than Dany's worst-case scenario. Most of the puddles are still visible even after the second batch of knights have taken the water. Shallow water marks.
Dany didn't let it go. Khalasar went all the way, and the water reserves were consumed all the way. She used the empty water bag to fill up all the seepage water mixed with sediment, and then poured it when she set up camp. filter out.
Even if the water resources were temporarily relieved, after about three hours of walking, there was still a dead person in the team, a half-year-old baby girl.
Her mother cried heart-breakingly, and the entire team could hear her mother's pain and despair. Dany felt very uncomfortable, but couldn't do anything.
She didn't even know the cause of the baby girl's death, there was no heat stroke, there was no lack of food and drink, and she then went in her mother's arms for a long time.
According to Dothraki tradition, the poor child was too young to ride a horse. She cannot enter the endless black grasslands of Night Land, she must be reborn again.
The child was buried in the sand in situ.
The team hardly stopped, just like the old Watson who dealt with the fall from the horse yesterday, only Dany and the company where the mother was staying left the aftermath.
Maybe extreme sorrow turns to joy, in the morning light of second day, Dany smiled and waved to the sky, cheering for the first flight of the oneself Darling Dragon.
And when the Black Dragon hovered high into the sky and disappeared into a small dot, Dany was anxious and unexpectedly entered the Dragon Dream state.
It is also the first time that she has long distanced Dragon Dream without touching Black Dragon... In fact, it is not appropriate to use "Dragon Dream" to describe this state at this time. .
Dany could call it a "Secondary Dreki" if the "Warg" of House Stark's siblings was used as an analogy.
Warg, also known as Skinchanger, or a type of Skinchanger, refers to a human who can invade the consciousness of animals or other people and control their behavior.
For the Skinchanger, this is easier to do if there is an emotional bond between humans and animals. Therefore, the dog's close relative, the wolf with the loyal gene, is the most common Skinchanger partner.
The man who controls the wolf is called Warg, not that he can only communicate with the wolf.
House Stark's Bran, Rickon, Arya, and Song of Ice and Fire's titular True Lord character, Jon Snow, are all Wargs with an enviably powerful Skinchanger innate talent .
It's just that I haven't been trained in the system, and I have been subconsciously denying and rejecting oneself's innate talent, and my ability has not been fully revealed.
Bran's strength does not need to be repeated. When he is sublimated from Skinchanger to Greenseer, he can walk on the timeline of Westeros continent, change the past and observe the future.
(ps: The ability to modify the timeline, it has not yet appeared in "Ice and Fire", but the plot about Hodor (Hodor) in "Game of Thrones" should be in line with Martin's settings, the author Martin in In the interview, I personally admitted Hodor's "stalk".)
Well, Old Gods observed the world through Weirwood, and Weirwood only exists in Westeros continent, the power of Old Gods should not be able to reach Essos continent.
Jon's innate talent makes the strongest Wildlings Skinchanger - "Sixskins" Varamyr jealous, so how strong is Varamyr?
Strong enough to be beaten to blood by the Red Priestess, he still has the energy to possession other healthy humans.
Even if the fate is bad and the possession fails, Varamyr does not die, but is possessed by oneself's pet wolf.
Well, in the end, unfortunately, I met Westeros number one Skinchanger Bran...
God didn't want him to live.
Let's talk about Arya, her Nymeria was released a long time ago, and they all went to Braavos to become Faceless Men apprentices. Wolf and Arya are separated by the strait and separated by thousands of kilometers, and they can still communicate through Wolf Dream from time to time. .
(ps: Unlike the television drama's sloppy handling of Nymeria, the wolf in the original Arya played a lot, not to mention saving Arya several times, Arya still saved the oneself mother in a stupefied Wolf Dream state. .. corpse, um, corpse can also be resurrected.)
Finally, Rickon, who was only three years old, could pass the limited Forecast Future of Wolf Dream.
Sansa's "Lady" died too early, and her experience and life values are very "Northern", so it is impossible to guess whether she has Warg innate talent.
But Robb Stark should also have a very strong innate talent, his Direwolf can foresee the crisis of the master, and has reminded the master of oneself several times, "there is danger", or "this person is untrustworthy", like Divine Beast .
It's just that Robb has forgotten about the wolf when he has a wife, and has always rejected the premonition of crisis that he received from the wolf subconsciously.
Warg is recognized as an "evil creature" of the same level as Others, Snarks and Grumkins. As long as Warg is found, everyone will kill it. The reason for such public opinion is also closely related to the history of Westeros continent.
As I said before, except for fantasy species such as Children of the Forest and Giant, all humans in Westeros are past invaders and refugees of Essos continent.
Children of the Forest are a dark and beautiful people, short in stature, and adults are about the same height as the children of the ordinary person.
They have deep maroon skin and big ears and big golden eyes.
However, some Children of the Forest with Greenseer innate talent have green or red eyes. Such Children of the Forest will become Greenseer and get Greensight if they merge with Heart Tree.
The key is here, Skinchanger almost originated from Children of the Forest, and is a representative of a dead civilization.
Twelve thousand years ago, the first generation of invaders, armed with bronze weapons, competed with the natives for a place to live.
One side is small and weak, with a small number of ethnic groups, but has a strange Magic; the other side is tall and strong, with advanced bronze weapons and more people, but no superpower.
The two sides "pecked at each other", barely tied, and signed an "oath" to distribute spheres of influence in the Isle of Faces, a small island in the center of Gods Eye.
This process lasted 4000 years. Because the first generation of invaders, "First Men", had seen the "Magic" of Children of the Forest, and their own beliefs were also very "loose". Gradually, First Men began to worship the mysterious Gods of Children of the Forest and became Followers of the Old Gods.
Maybe it's faith, maybe it's bloodline hybrids (don't doubt, don't say "child"-sized Children of the Forest, the Westeros even have Giants, and their appetites are scary), First Men also began to appear Skinchanger.
There is one Skinchanger in one thousand people, and one Greenseer in one thousand Skinchangers.
This ratio...seems a bit low, but just think about it, there are one or two Greenseers in almost every generation, so...
One or two A "Bran", every generation has one or two Bran-like characters...it's kind of scary!
