Chapter 223
The red sun is completely submerged in the endless sea of sand. The western sky is like a dark purple brocade. The desert itself also turns from gold in the daytime to red in the evening, and then turns purple after sunset. indigo.
"You two scumbags dare to come and chase me." Knight swiped his long sword lightly, leaving a dark red and wet trail on the sand. Not far away, two sand horses who had lost their masters "咴".咴" screamed and ran away, leaving two gray robe soldiers lying on the ground, blood stained with yellow sand.
After killing the last two pursuers, Knight slowed down and rode southwest away from Greenblood.
Just after crossing a dune, Knight's eyes narrowed, he stopped the horse, and shouted to the two of them below: "Who are you?"
"Barristan Selmy." White Cloak did not Open the face armor, but also report the true identity of oneself.
"Barristan the Bold?" Knight took a few steps forward and asked in surprise, "Ser, I haven't heard from you in years, when is Dorne coming?"
" You..." White Cloak carefully looked at the other person's appearance and clothing, his chin was cleanly shaved, his huge aquiline nose, dark purple eyes, and his thick shawl silver hair was divided into two parts by a strand of black hair in the center of his forehead. Half, with a greatsword on his back, purple leather armor with a black longsword style clan emblem.
The old man in this dress is a bit familiar, but the family emblem is completely unknown.
"Who are you? I haven't seen the Black Sword family emblem." The old man said directly.
"Oh, this is not a family crest." The young man raised his right hand, slowly pulled out the greatsword behind his back, looked down at his chest, said with a smile: "I gave oneself a nickname , Darkstar. This Black Sword mark, hehe, my personal badge, did you see it? That's it."
"You want to fight me?" White Cloak coldly said.
"Akito doesn't speak secretly, I feel the murderous aura on you," the aquiline nose youth licked his lips and said with bright eyes, "Actually, I'm looking forward to it, really."

Dany corner of the mouth twitched, said: "Don't kill him."
"I understand."
"hehe, old fogey boasted shamelessly, I'm uphill, you're downhill; I have a horse, you don't have a horse, don't say you are in your sixties, even if you are forty years younger, you will lose today."
Darkstar sneered, The horse looked towards ... The bastard kicked the spur, pulled the horse's head, and rushed towards Dany wearing the hood.
"oh!" With a sigh, Dany looked towards the young man's eyes full of pity.
Sure enough, the scene of Barristan's hurried rescue as expected by the youth did not appear at all.
Well, although he didn't know Dany's identity, he could see that White Cloak took her very seriously.
saw a flash, the woman in front walked surprisingly fast, and in an instant she came to the side of the war horse, opposite to the direction he swung his sword.
With a single blow, the young man still swayed even though he had seven percent of his strength. Barristan took a step forward with lightning in this tiny weak spot, holding the blade of the big sword in his hand, not worried at all. The iron glove was torn, and with all his strength, he pulled the young man to the side.
As a last resort, the young man had no choice but to let go of the sword, but next moment, his back hurt, and with a bang, he was hit by the scabbard and flew off the saddle, and fell to the sand.
"You..." turned over and looked at the long sword held in White Cloak's left hand, the long sword was still in the scabbard, his face was ashen, muttered: "impossible, this Impossible."
Boy, you've probably been smooth sailing in your life, and you've never met a renminbi player, right?
Indeed, the ordinary lobster-shaped iron glove, facing the evenly matched person, can't play the bare-handed grabbing blade at all. Before taking the opponent's weapon, the blade has already cut through the finger guard iron.
But the old Knight is wearing Valyria steel armor!
Let's not talk about raiding and grabbing the sword. If you fight ten times with him, you will definitely not lose.
"Whose child are you?" asked the old Knight.
The youth has no stubborn temper, reports his family background, superficial noble status, and the possibility of taking money to redeem his life. If he insists on saying nothing, he is likely to be slaughtered by the old fogey knight.
"Gerold Dayne, I'm from House Dayne in High Hermitage," he said.
The old Knight was stunned at first, and then showed a look of joy, "Fortunately you are not Dayne of Starfall, and the reputation of Sword of the Morning has not been sullied."
These words are deep. Stinging Darkstar, he roared angrily: "I just lost to you because of a misjudgment. It's not certain who will win and who will lose in another fight. How can you insult oneself's surname?"
Barristan coldly said: "You killed Princess Myrcella, she was only ten years old, she was still a child. And they had always regarded you as a companion before. You betrayed your friend and assassinated the person you were supposed to protect."
"How do you know?" Gerold Dayne stammered, his eyes widened, "Did you take refuge in that coward Doran?"
Then he wondered, "No, who are you and me? I don't even know, Impossible is the pursuer sent by Areo Hota."
"I was in the vicinity and saw it all," explained the old Knight.
"I admit, I really wanted to kill her, but unfortunately I missed it." Gerold ugly complexion sighed then said, and explained: "From the very beginning, I didn't agree with supporting Myrcella's ascension to the throne. Doran is too weak to start a war, but as long as the little lioness is killed, King's Landing will take the initiative to declare war on Dorne, so that Dorne's shame can be washed away."
"Who supports Myrcella on the throne?" Dany asked.
"Arianne Martell."
Dany knows her, Prince Doran eldest daughter and Dorne Prince heir.
"Why did she do that?"
"Starting a war to get revenge for Oberyn and Elia. Pretty much the same as mine, but she's too stupid to try to get Myrcella and younger out Brother Tommen vying for the throne .
"What does Dayne of High Hermitage have to do with Sword of the Morning?" Dany looked towards the old Knight.
"The main family and the side branches, the lord and the bannermen, Starfall Dayne is the main family."
"so that's how it is, like Stark and Karstark of Karhold." Dany nominates .
Dragon Family can actually be imitated, these branches almost never rebel...well, Baratheon seems to be a branch of Targaryen too.
The first generation of Storm's End Duke Orys Baratheon, said to be Aegon's illegitimate brother, turned out to be... because of the illegitimate child "bastard" bloodline?
Darkstar complained: "My family history can be traced back 10,000 years to the legendary Dawn Age, why is my relative the only Dayne that people remember?"
"Obviously, he's the greatest Knight of this era," Barristan said indifferently.
"Because he has a great sword." Dark Star said angrily.
"Maybe, but more importantly, he has a great heart. In any case, that relative of yours will not hurt a child."
"Hehe, tell Lannister this, how did the two children of Prince Rhaegar die?" Gerold said with a sneer.
Barristan glanced at Dany, got her signal, stepped forward, pulled out Ser Gerold's belt, tied both of his hands, and threw it across the dune.
"Your Majesty, what now?" he asked.
"Let it go, Dorne's business, let's not get involved."
To be honest, if this Dayne is from Starfall, for the sake of the loyal minister's "orphan", Dany There may also be an idea of pulling him into the team, but the strength of this Xibei goods is not to mention, the temperament is too extreme.
In other words, too selfish, too big idea, inhumane way. Old Knight nods, goes back and threw Darkstar's greatsword on the ground, and leaves without looking back.
"Wait a minute," Gerold yelled, but they both ignored him.
He gritted his teeth and shouted: "Daenerys."
The two who left this time reacted, and Dany suddenly turned back, "What did you say?"
Gerold had a smile on his face, and quickly asked: "You are the Dragon Queen, Daenerys Targaryen?"
Dany did not deny it, but asked curiously, "How did you guess that?"
"Ah, you're really the Dragon Queen!"
"Yes."
"So, the Slaver's Bay slave riots, is it true that there are dragons in Qarth?"
"The news is out of date." Dany crouched beside him and asked, "How did you guess my identity?"
"Barristan the Bold, glorious Kingsguard, I know him too well..." aquiline nose nuked at the armored Knight, "or, we all know him, he can lack everything in his life, except for the King who can be loyal.
When that kid Joffrey took off his white robe, the Seven Kingdoms nobles were guessing that they could see him again under that King, Renly? Stannis? Robb Stark?
Someone even went to the Iron Islands to ask , Ser Barristan is starving and offering his knees to that idiot Balon."
"You—" was so venomous that the old Knight had his hands on the hilt of the sword.
"What am I, am I wrong?" Darkstar glanced at Dany and asked, "Who are you following now?"
Alas, the Seven Kingdoms people have seen through the old Knight .
"Ser Barristan has chosen justice, he is serving justice and justice, and I am doing justice, that's all."
Dany says as it should be By rights, the old Knight's eyes were moved, but what she seemed to defend White Cloak made Darkstar's eyes widen: people, can they really be so shameless? !
The corner of the aquiline nose youth twitched a few times and continued: "When the whole Westeros didn't find Ser Selmy, we had two guesses, he was assassinated by Joffrey, or he lost his fighting spirit and hid somewhere. The corner is waiting for death.
But I saw the living Ser, Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the complete armored Knight, he is not dead, not depressed, strong and powerful, with superb martial skills.
There's only one reason left - Ser has a new King, a King from Westeros.
As it happens, I heard the legend of the Dragon Queen in the Docklands and knew a Targaryen not only alive , also hatched a dragon and became the Astapor Queen.
I didn't believe in the legend of the dragon at first, but I can see the two... When the result is only the last possibility, no matter it is How incredible it seems, it is still the truth of the matter."
Speaking of the end, the young man couldn't help showing a smug smile.
“Why are you so stupid!” Dany sighed.
"What?" The young man was stunned.
Old Knight pulled out 'Sunswallower', coldly said: "Looks smart, but really stupid!"
"Hey, wait a minute!" aquiline nose face changed, yellowed: " I have something to say."
"It's useless to say anything, accept your fate!" The old Knight raised his long sword and slashed the young man's neck...
"I want to be Kingsguard, Ser!" he yelled desperately with his eyes closed and with the last of his strength.
The sharp blade stopped three centimeters from his neck, the breeze blew, and large pieces of silver hair fell on the sand.
"What do you want to do?" the old Knight asked suspiciously.
"Although I've been mocking you all the time, I even named oneself 'Darkstar' to show my disdain for 'Dawn'.
But I've actually admired you since I was a child , worshiping Ser Arthur Dayne, and I have always wanted to be a glorious Kingsguard, a great Knight like Sword of the Morning.
The so-called indifference, the so-called demeaning, is only to cover up the unfulfilled desire in my heart. I, Really long to be the guardian Knight of the true king."
Gerold Dayne shouted these words out loud, almost in a cry.
At this moment, Dany's eyes blurred for a while, and he seemed to see a bad boy with long hair kneeling on the ground and crying: Coach, I want to play basketball!
