Chapter 237
Participating in the Tourney is not a must to live in a tent. In fact, Dany will go back to the city to sleep at night, but the ground outside the city is spacious and can exercise riding and martial skills.
Dany has practiced jousting, but it is his first time participating in actual combat.
She is going to have a last-minute preparation in the company of the old Knight, and the competition will officially start in two days. She can't expect much skill improvement, at least she can be more familiar with the jousting atmosphere.
Starting from the root of the city wall and extending half a kilometer north along Honeywine, you can see hundreds of blue, white, beige, yellow, red ornate big tents, surrounded by fences, belonging to the nobles 's camp.
Knight, wearing shining armor, riding a tall war horse in gold and silver, holding a family flag in his hand, roars and gallops through the camp.
The farther area is scattered with sparse tents, no fences, no trenches, no planning, messy divisions in the riverside open space, one of the tents built with azure canvas belongs to Dany.
She wasn't the only one who practiced horsemanship and spear skills, and her armor was roasted in the bonfire, dull and mottled, unremarkable among a group of mercenaries.
During the two days when she practiced spearmanship, Roseroad was beside the wide field where the wheat had been harvested, and carpenters built a huge wooden stand and arena.
The scale is very large, the main stand on both sides of the slender arena track is at least 15 meters high, a full 5-Layer.
Of course, not all Knights are eligible to play in the main arena.
The riders who came to the Tourney this time were "few", "only" more than 2,500 riders - when Dany exclaimed many people, the old Knight told her that he had participated in at least one ride in his life. Twenty tours, this time on a low to mid-range scale.
Dany was shocked, "You're only 64 years old, and you've participated in more than 20 Tours, how often is this!"
"Hehe, it's really only During the 14 years of King Robert's reign, he has held more than 20 Tours.
As a Kingsguard, I must guard King's side, especially King Aerys, who, unlike Robert, does not like to go to Watch the game."
"The people of the Seven Kingdoms love Tourney so much." Dany wondered.
"Apart from Tourney, what else can nobles do?" Barristan looked disapproving. "The last time Eddard was Prime Minister, there was a 'Prime Minister's Tourney'.
And just four months ago, on Joffrey Prince's twelve-year-old naming day, King Robert had just hosted a Tourney.
Only in King's Landing, it is held twice a year.
If other lords have spare money and just want to celebrate their child's birthday, they can also hold a Tourney."
Actually That year King's Landing held three Tourneys, Joffrey's naming day, to celebrate the Prime Minister's inauguration, and Joffrey's enthronement celebration for oneself.
“How many Tourney titles have you won?” Dany asked again.
"Five or six times, in addition to your own strength and skills, luck is also very important."
Dany came to Oldtown on the third day, Big Black gliding mode of 200 kilometers each hour, Flying two nights and one day in a row, across nearly 8,000 kilometers, back to Astapor.
In the state of Dreki, Big Black wrote about a thousand words of information on the ground with his claws, roughly recounting Dany's actions for the past week, ignoring the part about Lynese, and telling Jorah a good news, a bad news.
The good news is, of course, that House Mormont didn't lose much in Red Wedding, and the bad news...
--your father Jeor Commander died outside the Wall.
Night's Watch violated the guest right and killed the ghost father Craster who entertained them. The old Mormont was sworn to brother by oneself in the process of blocking (Night's Watch swore to give up the previous identity and status, and only recognized the servant as the brother for the rest of his life) kill.
I have to say that when the country is dying, there must be evil spirits. Except for the "Great Demon" visible to the naked eye of Others, the alienation of human nature is even more terrifying.
Learning about the tragic death of the father, Mormont couldn't help but howled, crying and self-confession: I'm sorry old father, disgraced the honor of House Mormont...
Dany watched him cry with Big Black's eyes, feeling quite sad.
It is a very sad thing to have a child who wants to be raised but not a parent.
She even had the urge to let Big Black take him home for the funeral, but then think about it, old Mormont died in Craster Castle, where 80% of the place was occupied by Others, and 90% of Jorah's father was 90%. Wights.
How is this funeral going?
While thinking about it, Dany noticed another thing. It was dark in Astapor and noon in Oldtown.
So, she decided to take this opportunity to calculate the distance represented by each hour's time difference, and to estimate the diameter of the planet by the way.
But just after finishing the calculation, she thought awkwardly: "Oldtown and Astapor are not the same dimensions, and may not even be on the equator. This error is a bit big. If you can perfectly understand the magnetic field coordinates in Big Black's perception That's good, but unfortunately it's more difficult to understand than Magic."
As soon as this thought came up, Dany was shocked, and suddenly an exciting thought appeared: Magic, can I teach Big Black Magic?
Do it as soon as she thinks of it. For the first time, she entered the Big Black Consciousness Sea in Dreki state, dismantled the meditation glyphs one by one, taught Big Black hand-in-hand, and let him follow along.
Big Black is obediently and honestly learning to do it even though he doesn't know what it means, and as a result, he can't even condense the most basic glyph in the Consciousness Sea.
"Why are you so stupid?" After teaching for more than an hour, Big Black couldn't even condense the first glyph. Dany, who has always been very patient with the four dragons, couldn't help but say " Top student" got angry.
Big Black came with a thought of "I'm very wronged, I did what you said, but it didn't work".
"Is IQ also a threshold for learning Magic?" Dany looked thoughtful.
There is no doubt that the dragons in this world are very smart, but their intelligence is relative to other mentally retarded animals. Compared with humans, dragon's intelligence is like a child.
During the time when he was just born, under the guidance of Dany, Big Black's intelligence improved very fast, far surpassing his two brothers.
But a year later, no matter how many elixirs Dany poured into him, he met bottleneck, and the rate of intelligence improvement was extremely slow, almost stagnant.
To obtain the inheritance of the Grand Sorcerer requires many conditions, such as being from the Fourteen Flames family, Dreki innate talent, and perhaps wisdom is one of them.
It makes perfect sense for a fool to be a Knight and a wise man to be a Master.
Big Black is too stupid to be a "Magic Dragon".
"No, there's another way!"
Dany was about to give up on teaching Big Black Magic, quit Dreki, and went to practice riding outside the tent when something suddenly occurred to him.
Her Dreki has two states. People enter the Soul Sea of the dragon, transmit oneself's instructions, and receive sensory information from the dragon; the dragon enters the Soul Sea of people, alerting the danger around the body, and can also receive people. perception information.
"What would happen if I let Big Black mental strength into my Soul Sea, or even into my meditation vortex?"
Somehow, Dany entered the Big Black Soul Sea At the time, the oneself's meditation vortex will not be brought over, but when Big Black enters her Soul Sea, her meditation vortex is unreservedly shown to Big Black.
After only a moment's hesitation, Dany lets Big Black into the vortex.
mental space, the meditation glyph is embodied as a huge nine-color vortex running through Heaven and Earth, and the mental strength of Big Black is embodied as a huge Black Dragon with a length of 100 meters.
At the moment when Black Dragon approached the edge of vortex, Dany's mind jolted, and the rotation speed of vortex suddenly accelerated, almost turning into a white light ball, like a ball of wool wrapped by white light.
From the moment it touched the vortex's wings, Big Black's body was shattered little by little, turning into strands of black smoke and blending into the white ball of light.
"Nigga-" There was no pain in the cry, only confusion and panic, he struggled to get out of the vortex.
But Dany's blessing was in his heart, and he immediately stopped him: "Don't be afraid, Big Black, our Soul blends together, and the ball of light will never hurt you."
Hearing Dany's words , Big Black immediately calmed down, stopped struggling, and even cooperated with the ball of light.
In a few thoughts, Big Black's body completely disappeared, and the white light ball was also dyed light gray.
But Dany was suddenly excited because she felt Big Black in the grey ball.
As the sorcery strength is gradually consumed, the gray light ball becomes bright and white again within the tea time. Slowly, the light ball rotates slowly, and the white light returns to nine-color vortex.
"Boom!"
Like blowing bubbles, the vortex suddenly expanded and shrunk again, and another illusory nine-color light group flew out of the big vortex .
Another nine-color vortex!
"My God, how can this be done? Perfect copy!" Dany was stunned.
The illusory little nine-color vortex is obviously constructed from the mental strength of Big Black, but its glyph structure and operation mode are exactly the same as hers.
Without hesitation, she immediately changed Dreki's state and sent a trace of mental strength of oneself into the Big Black Mental Sea together with the illusory vortex.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!..." The space of lava's red Soul vibrated, and countless blood-colored thin lines flew in all directions, entering the nine-colored vortex that looked like the eye of a storm.
Visible to the naked eye, the illusory nine-color vortex becomes solid and even begins to expand... Finally, it spans the Soul space like a lava pool, connecting Heaven and Earth, dark The red space began to become colorful.
"It's so big!" Dany was shocked when he looked at the nine-color vortex that looked like an upside-down mountain in front of him.
This is the magic power of Big Black!
Like Dany who didn't get the Grand Sorcerer inheritance, Big Black has sorcery strength in his body, but it's all dispersed in the blood and Mental Sea, growing slowly, with low utilization and low efficiency.
According to Dany oneself's comparison of sorcery strength before and after meditation, Big Black's strength has increased by at least five times only with this meditation vortex.
And the meditation is still actively absorbing the mysterious high-level energy in the universe, and the magic power level is also raised. This...
Big Black is going to become fine!
"Sigh--" Big Black also noticed the change in oneself and shouted in excitement.
"Fuck—" Little Green, who was sleeping on the stone wall, was woken up and yelled back unhappily.
"chi chi!" Big Black glared, a flash of brilliance flashed in his bloody vertical pupils.
"bang!" With his neck sticking out, two bright red fire snakes four or five meters long spewed out from his nostrils. With a "hissing" sound, Little Green turned over in fright, and half of his body rolled off stones. order.
"Ah..." Jorah Mormont woke up from his grief, stood up and shouted, "Don't fight, don't fight!"
"Sigh— "Little Gold, who had shrunk in the corner, blinked his golden eyes and shrank back again.
"Hey, Big Black, it's been a few days since your nose can breathe fire?" Jorah reacted and exclaimed.
