Chapter 226
Looking at the bright red Fireball that had shrunk to the size of a cantaloupe, Dany's face was gloomy and uncertain. It had been burning for three full hours since nightfall, and the sphere had shrunk from the size of a washbasin to the size of a cantaloupe, maybe he could hold on. Three hours.
"I kind of understand Valyria's Dragon and Magic civilization now," she said slowly.
This is a small camp behind the sand dunes. The three of them are sitting together, all staring at the fireball in the center, which is emitting light and heat all the time.
Watching quietly, eyes blurred, as if witnessing the Wonders of the world.
"Can every Valyrian do this?" Gerold Dayne said curiously.
"Maybe only the Grand Sorcerer can," Dany thought of one of the conditions for becoming a Grand Sorcerer: a Dragon Dreamer from the Fourteen Flames family.
She has tried it before, and as expected, she can control the flame of ordinary wood burning, but the movement is jerky and cannot last.
The rubbed Fireball was like a flattened ball, fist sized and lasted only five seconds.
Dragon Dreamers use the Fire Sorcery to control the dragon Dragonflame is very different, and through the Soul connection, they seem to be able to partially borrow the dragon's power.
There is no doubt that dragon's fire-breathing is not an oil barrel in his stomach, but is similar to Tailed Beast in "Naruto", using his mental strength to combine the Fire Magic elements in nature to form a Magic flame .
——This has been verified by Dany himself. He opened the Big Black mouth and checked it carefully. There are no holes for fuel injection.
In other words, dragon is converted into Dragonflame through magic power, Dragonflame has magic power, as the master, dragon can control this magic power.
And the Dreki can connect with the giant Dreki soul to gain control of the Dragonflame magic power.
Controlling the Dragonflame Fireball is as easy as Dany does. On the contrary, most of the firewood burning flames are Wildfires with "natural will". To flexibly change their shape, they have to compete with "natural will" for control, which is more difficult to control than Dragonflame, which has a higher energy level.
Of course, for ordinary Firemage, "natural will" must be easier to deal with than "dragon will".
Fire Control is fully functional only in the hands of the "dragon Grand Sorcerer".
"Just like I use dragon's magic power to light, fire, roast meat, Valyrian must have gone a step further and invented the magic of extracting magic power from the lava, which is incredible." Dany muttered.
Barristan, worried that the Queen was caught in a fanatical pursuit of witchcraft, could not help but persuade: "Your Majesty, no matter how brilliant Valyria was, it has been destroyed, indicating that their path is not right."
"Hehe, I just feel sorry for them." Dany understood his good intentions, and laughter sighed: "This world is too comfortable. It has been developing steadily for millions of years, and has never encountered an alien civilization."
"What alien civilization?" Darkstar said curiously.
Dany thought for a while and said: "In the era of no large ships, Westeros and Essos continent have not communicated for millions of years, like two independent worlds.
Children of the Forest. To Westeros, as we are to this world, content with the status quo, thinking that a peaceful and peaceful life is like the sun rising, eternal.
And then came the First Men with bronze weapons, less than The 10,000-year-old, million-year-old Children of the Forest is almost extinct.
So, you open your eyes and imagine that there is another world outside the known world, which is not less developed than Old Valyria Magic civilization, what will we end up with?"
"This..." The greatest ambition of the two natives in this life is to become the praised Legendary Knight, and the civilization war is far from them. As far as a galaxy.
“Impossible, right? How can there be a world outside of the world?” Darkstar said tangled.
He is young, flexible in thinking, and has a strong ability to accept new ideas. Although he says "impossible", his heart is gloomy, and he always feels that Dragon Queen's words are very reasonable.
"Children of the Forest may have thought the same as you back then, and then in the face of the crisis, they became extinct." Dany indifferently said.
Barristan frowned: "Your Majesty, are you thinking too much? We're not Maesters, there's no need to..."
"Maester?" Dany smiled wryly, " I don't know what happened to Maester, it has been developed for thousands of years, the Magic civilization has not come out, the development of technology is almost stagnant, they... ah, I ask you, how long did it take Valyria from shepherd to overlord of the world?"
"It's less than a thousand years."
Following Dany to search for so many Valyria secret books, the old Knight also looked through it roughly, and knew a lot of secrets.
"A thousand years, from a nomadic people who will not forge even iron, to a super civilization that can extract the power of Earth Fire, this is a normal development trajectory."
Earth The scientific and technological civilization of the period, from the Renaissance in the 14th century, to the 20th century, Earth people can use nuclear energy, almost the same as the development speed of Valyrian.
What about Maester?
Maester is not even as good as Yi Ti's 'Guild of Necromancers'. They at least have oneself's development ideas. Although the speed is slow, it has been moving forward. Even Sorcerer's Lens has long been a copycat.
So Dany wanted to dig a little deeper into Citadel and see what the hell those guys were up to.
"Your Majesty, you are so special!" Darkstar looked at Dany with a complicated look.
"Oh?"
"Nine percent of kings think about hunting, banquets, and masquerade parties, and the wise and wise king only thinks about governing the country and consolidating the rule of kingship. Think from the perspective of the entire world and the entire human race."
Gerold Dayne's deep purple eyes flashed with sincerity, "Having a conversation with Your Majesty almost gave me a new lease of life. I just don't know that you have What's the solution? I mean to avoid being invaded by 'alien civilization'."
"Hehe, there is only one way to improve your own civilization level," Dany was high-spirited, his tone was sonorous, "I I'm still young, but I have time. In five years, I will push the whole world slave city-state, then take back Iron Throne in two years, and establish a perfect new social system in the next three years.
After ten years like this, I will do this for this The world plans two development paths, technology and Magic.
For the future, you can think of it this way, every city is the capital of Valyria without slave system."
At the end, she Added a sentence that was bad in a certain novel: "That's the Grand Era with a person like a dragon."
Although it was bad, it was the first time that the two "natives" were excited when they heard this statement. ...well, impossible was excited, they didn't get it at all.
The future is still too far away, and the three of them separated after sending Darkstar a "coordinate technique" in the early morning.
Dany and Barristan continued westward on a dragon while Gerold Dayne found a boat to Braavos.
When passing through Starfall in the afternoon, Dany also made the dragon hover over the city for a while, and she wanted to admire the glorious "ruins" of Sword of the Morning.
As a result, I saw an ordinary Linhe Mountain City, except that the tower was a little high, nothing special.
It was White Cloak who almost burst into tears when he saw the Palestone Sword Tower on the edge of the cliff.
"Your Majesty, I confess to you that the person I love the most in my life is Miss Ashara Dayne," the old Knight said in a complicated tone, "but I am Kingsguard, and I swear I will never marry her. Talking about your love is useless."
So, you love so deeply, the other party doesn't know it until he dies, is it unrequited love?
"Why did she jump into the river suicide?" Dany said curiously.
Ashara Dayne, Dany knows very little about her other than Arthur Dayne's younger sister.
I only heard that Eddard had an affair with her and had a baby named Jon Snow.
This is not nonsense!
Old Knight said sullenly: "Ashara child miscarried, she may be heartbroken by losing her child, or because of the man who tarnished her reputation in Harrenhal..."
"Eddard Stark?"
"en."
"Someone said his illegalimate child was Ashara's child."
"No, Her child is not saved, if the child is alive she will not suicide." Old Knight affirmed.
"How do you know that child's father is Eddard Stark? Although I haven't seen him, Ser Jorah always admires and complains about him every time he mentions him. He admires his integrity and complains that he is not sympathetic.
I'm afraid he can't do such a thing as letting a noble woman get pregnant out of wedlock?" Dany said curiously.
"In Harrenhal, I saw two people fall in love, kind of...well, I can't see it wrong."
Here are the words , Dany didn't feel embarrassed to ask any further, he left the Dorne collar after crossing Torentine, and entered Reach, only more than 500 kilometers away from Oldtown.
In the evening, the two landed on the upper reaches of Honeywine, walked to Roseroad, bought two horses in a small hotel, and walked unsteadily to Oldtown in the south.
I have to say that Westeros' infrastructure is really bad.
There are official roads from King's Landing to Seven Kingdoms, Roseroad in Reach, Boneway through Stormlands to Dorne frontier, Goldroad to Westerlands Lannisport, River Road to Riverlands, connecting North Kingsroad.
But these "national roads" are actually muddy roads in the countryside of the celestial dynasty, one step at a time, and the simple texture makes Dany feel like returning to... er, mistake, her hometown is familiar. The main road to the market was also sprinkled with gravel at least.
But when I go to the vegetable field to pick up cucumbers and tomatoes, I often take this kind of dirt road.
Reach is still calm at present. Under the orange red sunset, farmers are rushing to harvest crops in the golden wheat fields, and the motorcades of merchants also pass by from time to time, which is a very lively rural scenery.
The breeze blew, bringing bursts of sweet and fruity fragrance from the apple grove nearby, let go of the reins and let the horses move freely.
"Looks like Westeros isn't as bad as we thought." Dany smiled at White Cloak.
"da da da..." The two of them were riding leisurely for a walk when suddenly a group of old brown leather armor riders rushed from behind. They waved their whips and sang loudly. Songs that don't make a tune, go south happily.
The dirt floor immediately brought up a yellow earth dragon, so Dany couldn't help hanging the tulle hanging from the brim of his hat.
However, she also thought of the rider's lyrics, to the effect: Ten Years To Sharpen A Sword, try your best today, overturn all the opponents, and win the Knight King.
"Freedom Knight," White Cloak said, looking at the group of down-and-out riders, puzzled, "they're going to join the Tourney, make their mark, and make a name for themselves."
" Oldtown is hosting a Tourney?" Dany wondered.
"Eighty percent of the time, I don't know which Hightower is presiding over the meeting." Old Knight said slowly.
Dany said with a smile: "That little Hightower went to Lys to find the elder sister for fleet assistance. Are they still thinking about hosting a Tourney?"
