Chapter 253
"Others...the Wall is blocking you, what are you afraid of?" Dany said lightly.
Old Knight turned his head to look at the left and right corridors, and saw that there was no one there, he simply closed the wooden door and lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, those are Others! Do you know the legend of Others? Long eight thousand years ago. Night, Others dragged the world into eternal night, a ten-year-long winter, never seen the daylight, human beings are almost extinct, thanks to Azor Ahai——"
"I know Others, and I also know Long Night. Dany waved his hand and interrupted him: "But I don't think Citadel is nervous at all. It doesn't seem to take this news seriously. Why are you so excited?"
"Because I've met Spiritual God and seen the real Magic. Maester must have thought Commander of the Night's Watch was lying, but I know Maester Aemon can't be wrong."
"That's right. , Your Majesty, do you know Maester Aemon? He's your relative..." The old Knight counted his fingers, "Your grandfather also has to be called Maester Aemon Second Uncle!"
"Second Master?" The corners of Dany's mouth twitched, and he gradually remembered such a character. She had very few appearances in "Game of Thrones", and she didn't have much impression of him. Now it seems that she is kicking the bucket?
"Is the old man dead?" she asked.
"No, still alive and well."
"Uh, still alive..." Dany touched the chin, looked thoughtful.
"Your Majesty, Citadel's attitude towards you is worrying, but you do lack a Maester," White Cloak observed, tentatively saying, "Why don't we go to the Wall? Wildlings don't have Scorpion, two Dragon can easily relieve the danger of Wall, and by the way, take old Maester to Slaver's Bay, and also confirm the truth of Others."
"Who is the Commander of the Night's Watch? "
"Before Ser Jorah's father, Jeor Mormont, a year ago he led 300Night's Watch north to beyond the wall, exploring the movement of Others and Wildlings, and met Others army in Fist of the First Men, Night's The Watch was almost wiped out, and finally..."
The old man's complexion became extremely gloomy, and he gritted his teeth: "Night's Watch violated the guest right and killed the Wildlings Craster who entertained them. They even violated Night's The oath of Watch, the oath that murdered oneself brother - Commander Jeor."
"The moral decline has so far made my heart burn." The old man was so sad that he almost burst into tears.
“Now what?” Dany asked.
"The Commander of the Night's Watch is uncertain at this time, at least Citadel has not received a letter from Wall's direction. Maybe there is an election, maybe Raven is on his way, after all, Oldtown and Wall are separated by thousands of miles!"
"Ai, I'll ask Citadel's opinion tomorrow, we'll make plans," Dany sighed, slowly explaining Citadel's attitude towards oneself, "So you understand? I want to board Iron Throne is very difficult, Maester's choice almost represents the attitude of most Andals nobles. Even if I go to the Wall and find Others, it is very difficult to do anything."
Old Knight frowned into a symbol, The expression on his face changed back and forth.
To be honest, if it weren't for the oneself loyal Queen, the "real" world that Citadel hoped to create, the old Knight would definitely agree with both hands.
Like Dany said, Citadel's choice has a very high mass base.
——Andal Knight Civilizations naturally repel the power of gods and monsters.
This can also be seen from the doctrine of The Seven they developed, The Seven is the seven human virtues, not the worship of natural phenomena, such as R'hllor's light and shadow, Drowned God's sea , Old Gods wind, wood, mountains, water...
It was a long time before he asked in a hoarse voice: "I wonder what Your Majesty plans to do?"
"Continue with the previous plan to find out the details of the Citadel. But we should change places. The real vault is in Seneschal's Court, and the library basement only stores the original manuscripts of documents."
Well, when planning to come to Oldtown , Dany plans to go to the Citadel's secret library to have a look, and she has already thought about the method.
The old Knight was asked to go to the first floor to execute the plan, but when the old man saw the news of Others, he was so frightened that he even forgot the mission of the coordinates.
"Your Majesty, since Citadel and you are almost irreconcilable, our plans must be changed..."
Gradually recovering from the shock Barristan, who came over, immediately remembered White Cloak's duties and thought about Dany's safety.
Two hours later, White Cloak accompanied Dany to Seneschal's Court with a stack of books.
"The library has seats and it's very quiet, but the place is too empty and too quiet. In the middle of the night, one person occupies one floor, and just thinking about it makes people seep." Dany said with a smile .
After the old Knight slipped four Silver Stags into the hall keeper, they were given a 40-square-meter lounge on the second floor, with couches, seating and a small fireplace.
"If you need tea and food, you can pull the bell outside the door, and an apprentice will come to serve the two of you." The janitor Lorcas said.
"Thank you."
As soon as White Cloak closed the door, Dany phantom disappeared from the room.
next moment, like a teleportation, she appeared on a narrow spiral staircase, down the narrow wooden ladder, her right hand swept lightly on the wall.
all around very quiet, the space is dark, and I can't see my fingers. After a while, Dany came across a torch by the wall.
Unfortunately, the torch is too heavy, and she can't lift it at all in mental protection state.
"pa ——" Dany raised his hand and snapped his fingers, "chi chi!" Goes off immediately.
Well, in the past ten days since I came to Oldtown, Dany has not stopped the cultivation of "Fire Control", and the second realm "Gather Fire Element" glyph is almost 90% completed.
If the body is here, she can ignite the torch with a single thought.
It's not too difficult to make a small Fireball the size of an egg out of thin air without a torch, much better than Lysbin's day. But now she is just a mental body, and the level of witchcraft is greatly reduced.
These little fire stars are also the reason why her body is too close to her mental body.
If she travels hundreds of miles or thousands of miles, her mental protection won't be able to use any witchcraft. If mental protection is by her side, she can do almost everything the body can do, except for the side effect of excessive witchcraft consumption, very similar to the Shadow Clone technique in Naruto.
That's why Dany was on the third floor of the library with a glass candle earlier.
At first she thought the Citadel secret tome was hidden in the basement of the library, so she asked Barristan to wait on the first floor, and she cast a spell on the third floor, crossed the ground in projection mode, and entered the underground book room.
That is, the distance between the body and the projection is no more than 50 meters. Not only can the "low-profile" magic be used, but the mental body has a strong load-bearing capacity.
However, after learning about the irreconcilable contradiction between Citadel and her, the old Knight immediately spoke up and suggested that she should not appear in Citadel as her body again: although most people will not just look at you and Queen Rhaella Linked together, but there's no denying that you're mother and daughter after all, and the two really have several points of similarities.
Apparently, he hadn't forgotten about the Archmaester Walgrave that afternoon, when old Knight's heart was in his throat.
Well, it was the mental body who followed the old Knight to Seneschal's Court at this time. The body quietly returned to the hotel, and there was Big Black hidden in the river beside the hotel.
“chi chi chi chi—bang!”
After seven or eight consecutive attempts, the whale oil torch was finally ignited by the fire star.
Dany looked around by the firelight, and saw that Oneself was in a two-hundred-square-meter wide, two-story cylindrical cellar.
The arc-shaped bookshelf has four layers, which gradually become shorter from the inside to the outside. A high movable wooden ladder is placed in front of each layer of the bookshelf.
The innermost bookshelf is placed against the wall, almost touching the ceiling; the outermost bookshelf is about four meters high, enclosing a 30-square-meter reading room, with a round table in the center, surrounded by seven Eight high-back chairs.
Dany hugged the torch top with red flames with both hands, "Rising--"
Naked eye Visible, bright red flame swells and rises, as if flame retardants have been added.
Then Dany changed from hugging to holding, like holding a lotus out of water, the flame as big as a vegetable bowl broke away from the wooden handle wrapped around the tarpaulin, and she held it in her palm to burn out of thin air.
I saw Dany kneading dough, like Naruto kneading Rasengan, the illusory flame of the size of the vegetable bowl changed from an irregular shape to a round ball like a ball, and soon from a volleyball-sized bright red, shrinking. Small Accomplishment A baseball-sized dark red.
In the end, when she spread out her right hand, a dimly lit little Fireball, the size of a pigeon egg, floated in her palm, floating and sinking in front of her forehead, like wearing an overhead lamp.
Then Dany jumped and flew down from the top of the stairs like a fairy, lighter than a feather, more dexterous than a swallow, and landed right next to the central wooden table.
A random ebony bookshelf was found. It was not full, but there were several or dozens of books of different thicknesses in almost every row.
There are also white lacquer markings on the side boards of the bookshelf, corresponding to each row of books: "Witchcraft - Asshai - Shadowbinder", "Witchcraft - Asshai - Necromancer", "Witchcraft - Asshai - Necromancer" Asshai - Inquisitor "...
In addition to Asshai mysterious profession, there are also transcendents in other parts of the world, "Witchcraft - Qarth - Warlock", "Prophecy - Jogos Nhai - Moonsinger", "Witchcraft - Yi Ti - Necromancer (True)", "Blood Sorcery - Qohor - Black Goat Priest", "Alchemy - King's Landing - Guild of Alchemists", "Witchcraft (? ) - Braavos - Faceless Men "...
Dany looks more and more shocked, a sense of the absurdity of entering Langhuan Jade Grotto and the Huanshi Water Pavilion.
"Citadel's group of scumbags, they say no or no, but their bodies are very honest. They scavenge almost all the secret arts that can be collected from all over the world to oneself's house."
Moving on, Dany also sees pale Weirwood bookshelves belonging to Valyria: "Witchcraft - Valyria - Firemage", "Witchcraft - Valyria - Pyromancer", "Prophecy - Valyria - Dreamer", " Witchcraft - Valyria - Sorcerer's Lens", "Witchcraft - Valyria - Immortal Stone"...
Only the Valyria family occupies a large bookshelf alone, and then there are other "Dragon" dedicated bookshelf: "Legendary Creatures - Dragon - dragon egg", "Legendary Creatures - Dragon - young dragon Domestication", "Legendary Creatures - Dragon - Dragon Control", "Legendary Creatures - Dragons" ——dragon dung", "Legendary creature-dragon-Scorpion", "Legendary creature-dragon-body structure"...
Only the "Scorpion" column, There are books nearly ten meters thick!
Well, it can only be described in terms of thickness. It is full of documents and books.
"Fuck, what are the ancestors of Targaryen doing?!"
Citadel has almost thoroughly researched dragons. All transcendent data outside of Valyria are plentiful.
