Chapter 25
In the years following the First Men's oath with the Children of the Forest, the Skinchanger was not only a heretic and a monster, but a respected prophet and Priest.
But 4000 years later, Andals with fair hair and blue eyes came, they brought weapons made of steel essence, painted the seven-pointed star symbolizing the new god on their chests, and armed oneself with firm belief, Cross the sea to kill.
Speaking of this, I can't help but want to spit two words: motherfucker, you were all bronze civilizations 4,000 years ago, and you lived with the Children of the Forest with Magic for 4,000 years, and the Magic civilization did not develop. , technological civilization...shit, civilization has stalled.
4000 years have not transitioned from the mature bronze civilization to the iron civilization, eating shit!
The Seven Kingdoms deserved to be easily swept away by others (not perished, most of them chose to surrender or change their families, or marry Andals), only North, because of the natural danger of The Neck, was barely able to put " The "First Men" forces survived.
Well, The Neck can be understood as the "Shu Road" of Westeros continent, one man guards the pass, ten-thousand men are blocked, and there is still no "only channel" that "Chen Cang" can give you a dark crossing. "(Actually, there are also sea routes).
How difficult is The Neck to pass?
During the period of "Five Kings Contest for Hegemony", the Ironmen with low morale used 63 archers to block the army of North 10,000 people for three full years!
When Andal invaded, the North was not alone in the House Stark family.
In addition to Stark, there are many powerful lord forces, such as flaying people House Bolton.
Don't look at Little Flayer and Old Leech's unique taste and surly character, their family background is really not inferior to Stark at all.
At that time, several of the Stark House Heads were skinned by House Bolton, um, using their human skins for capes.
Okay... awesome!
Let's get down to business, in the process of realizing the unification of North, Stark is also gradually going through a process of "getting off the First Men".
Although Stark keeps saying things like "I am First Men", and has always adhered to the tradition of believing in "Old Gods", in fact, they are no longer pure First Men.
The last recorded Lord of the Skinchanger, the Lord of Sea Dragon Point, known as the "Warg King", was a loyal ally of the Children of the Forest.
But the Starks killed him and his sons, killed him beast pets and Greenseer, and left only his daughters as trophies.
——Will the real First Men kill Greenseer?
Remember today's holy covenant with the Children of the Forest on the Isle of Faces?
Only the marsh people of beyond the wall Wildlings and The Neck can be considered orthodox First Men, they still retain their reverence for Greenseer, and Stark is only of First Men blood.
Not only House Stark, Lannister of Casterly Rock, Highgarden of Garth Greenhand, Durrandon of Stormlands (Baratheon inherited Storm's End after Aegon's invasion), they are all descended from the First Men, with several Millennium Old Gods beliefs.
Back then, the Skinchanger wasn't the monster everyone yelled at.
But after the Andals successfully invaded Westeros, there was no Faith of the Seven in place of the primordial but real Old Gods.
A bit sarcastic.
The Great Families in the south, Godswood representing Old Gods Sept, have gradually become the gardens where Lady and children play.
Skinchanger and Greenseer are gradually transformed by a demonic transformation, almost like the Others, becoming the characters that will kill you when you meet them.
Any person south of the Wall who can communicate with an animal will immediately kill him.
Thousands of years have passed, and by the generation of Eddard Stark's children, Warg has become something of a fairy tale.
Even if you say oneself is Warg out loud, others will just laugh at you for daydreaming.
Therefore, Jon, Arya, Bran, and even Robb were all very resistant to the Warg essence of oneself.
Dany's "Mother of Dragons" innate talent is definitely not inferior to Greenseer, Greenseer has a probability of 1 in 1 million, and there are at least one or two in each generation of the Flourishing period of Old Gods beliefs. And Dany may be the only "Mother of Dragons" in Valyria's 5,000-year history.
Well, genetic mutants.
Daenerys in the original plot is more resistant to oneself's innate talent and instinct than Jon.
She wants to play with dragons, but her companions and subjects are afraid of dragons; she wants to take dragons to hunt freely, but she is too busy with official duties to be distracted, and because she is worried about dragons going out and hurting people, she ignores the youth. The dragon's cry locked them up; she wanted to fly away on the dragon, death ends all one's troubles, but she remembered oneself's duty to her subjects.
At that time, she didn't even have the Dragon Dream, and almost unilaterally lost all contact with the dragon—her Black Dragon could still sense her safety.
That Daenerys is a good Queen and failure of a Mother of Dragons. She put the cart before the horse, clinging to the identity of oneself Queen, and completely gave up the title of "Mother of Dragons".
That is not only the title, but the fundamental meaning of her existence.
Now this Dany is different, even if no one teaches, she also uses oneself to develop Innate Ability.
Her efforts paid off, too, with Dany connecting through the Dragon Dream's Soul during the flight of the Black Dragon, gaining his vision.
Warg can not only acquire the five senses of animals, but also occupy the wolf's body with a human body, which cannot be regarded as controlling its behavior. Instead, oneself incarnates as a wolf, which can be regarded as a temporary possession wolf.
The reason why Dany is just a "secondary Dreki" is that she has far less control over dragons than Warg has over companion animals.
She can only receive information from Black Dragon's five senses, and she can't control their actions, let alone become a dragon.
And besides Black Dragon, not only can she not control different kinds of animals like Skinchanger, but even White Dragon and Green Dragon, Dany can't establish a stable Dragon Dream with them.
It wasn't that the two dragons were rejecting her.
How do I say it...a bit like a skill slot can only choose one skill, as the connection between her and Black Dragon becomes closer, the other two dragons are less likely to be generated with her Dragon Dream.
——In fact, Warg also has the limitation of "skill position". Those with high innate talent can control more animals, and those with poor innate talent can only control one dog-dogs are the most docile and easy to control. Varamyr, who can control six animals, earns a "Glory" bandit of "Sixskins".
Ser Jorah told Dany that every dragon has only one master, and one 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 a passenger in the company of the dragon's master.
Similarly, Targaryen, who already has a dragon, cannot control another dragon.
"Huh, what's that?" Dany woke up suddenly.
Just now, she saw an abnormal picture at a glance.
Black Dragon's field of vision is so amazing that it seems to be able to see tens of kilometers away from the sky.
It's not very clear and doesn't last long, but the color of Red Waste is too monotonous, a uniform dark red.
From the perspective of the Black Dragon, Dany could only see the blue sky, red comets, and dark red plains of varying clarity.
Suddenly, the moment Black Dragon turned, Dany saw the ground that had always been dark red, and suddenly a white appeared.
It seems to be a city? A rocky hill of a special color?
"Big Black, don't be wild, help me find the white one just now... it seems to be a city." She said eagerly in her heart.
According to Dothraki tradition, animals other than people should not be named, Dany doesn't think dragons of oneself are animals, they are Legendary beings, not inferior to people.
So early on, she named them.
Well, Big Black, Little White, Little Green...
Well, that's a nickname, she used to call it that.
Black Dragon is not called "Deathwing", it's a waste of his black and red scales like Hell.
But the name "Deathwing" is too hateful, and she doesn't want oneself's Darling Dragon to die. When he is invincible in the world, let him oneself say with his big mouth in brimstone and Death Aura: My name is Deathwing, World Destroyer of Destiny, Terminator of the Myriad Things, I, the cataclysm...
Well, it's very touching.
The other two are much more common, Emerald and White Jade.
Green Dragonglass is as lustrous as jade, and its body is like the Emerald of the highest level. It is a vibrant green.
White Dragon's main body is the warm and lustrous color of White Jade, but along the skeleton lines is a sun-like platinum color, exuding an admirable dive aura.
If anyone asked, she would also tell them that the Black Dragon scales were shining like black spar, so it was called "Black Diamond".
Emerald, White Jade, Black Diamond are all beautiful, harmless, beloved gems. The names are completely unoffensive to hide the fact that they are the most brutal creatures on the world.
"Sigh--" Black Dragon found the piece of white Dany needed, like a white glow reflected on a mirror surface.
Dragon Eye pupil shrink, a white glow on the dark red earth is constantly expanding.
"That's really a city!" Dany exclaimed with joy.
About 30 kilometers southwest of Khalasar, out of range of her water fetching team.
"Nearly missed." She patted her chest in fear.
Black Dragon is a young dragon after all, he didn't hold on long before flapping his wings and falling back into the basket behind Dany.
Dany found Jorah immediately and told him about it.
"This..." Knight showed a look of surprise, not only surprised by the appearance of the city, but also amazed that the young dragon's sight could see so far, and Dany could still share his vision with him.
"Her Highness the Princess, I've never heard of a city in the Red Waste, and I didn't even know there was a human settlement in this place that devils despised." He rubbed his chin and said cautiously.
Dany thought of the dry river he met before, and said, "Maybe it's a civilization lost in the long river of history. The distance is too far, and the dragon can't see it clearly, only that the city is very large and will never be seen. It's a village. You and I both know that today's Red Waste absolutely can't support a large city."
"Abandoned city?" Jorah looked thoughtful and said: "Let the explorer go and see that place first. At least you can hide from the sun.”
30 kilometers was just an hour or two away, and before noon, Aggo and two other Warriors were back.
"Khaleesi, you read that right, it is indeed a stone city, the whole is white. But there are no residents, the city gate is broken, the houses collapsed, only the sand and flies shuttle through the street. It is A dead city, no name, no Spiritual God, we should avoid it."
"Why?" Dany asked in confusion: "No one is better, we can occupy it as we like. If there is Residents, I'm also worried about their attitude towards Khalasar."
Jhiqui trembled: "Once the Spiritual God is gone, the evil spirits will go out to hunt at night, this kind of place is best avoided, it is known."
"it is known." Irri echoed.
