Chapter 262
In the early morning of the second day, sun woke up from the eastern horizon with a red light on the horizon.
In the Red Mountains, 1,000 kilometers north of Oldtown, two dragons, one black one white, cut through the thin mist that surrounds the peaks and land on a cliff with pine azure moss.
The breeze was blowing Maiden's hair on the temples, Dany frowned and came to the old Knight's side, looking at the red-nosed old Archmaester who was face deathly pale in his arms, complaining: "This kind of villain who violates the guest right, It's okay to throw him in the air and fall to his death, he has to help him heal."
She originally planned to cross 1,700 kilometers in one breath and go to King's Landing for lunch.
"I want to know exactly what Citadel is thinking." The old Knight lowered his head, cautiously pulling an arrow through Perestan's thigh.
“ao, ow, ow—” Even though White Cloak moved skillfully and gently, the red-nosed old man still howled like a pig, “Give me poppy milk!”
"We didn't bring poppy milk," White Cloak took out alcohol and cotton from his backpack and began to disinfect the old man. The alcohol stained the wound, causing another shrill scream.
After more than an hour of tossing, Dany had eaten the "coked beef hind legs" caught by Big Black, and White Cloak finally dealt with the five crossbow bolts and four broken bones on Archmaester's body.
"You're so lucky, you don't have a fatal injury." Dany sat on a large bluestone, leaning his back against Big Black's warm wings, very relaxed and content.
White Cloak sliced a piece of hindquarters with a dagger, stuffed it into his mouth and said vaguely: "He is not good luck, I will disguise him as you, naturally I have to protect him well and not let the arrow hit the key. ."
Dany nods, mental protection is a very important trump card, don't expose it if it can be kept secret.
White Cloak cut a piece of blood dripping red meat for the red nose old man and asked, "Archmaester, how did you find out your identity as Your Majesty?"
Sun climbed the whole mountain, The mountain fog has dissipated, and looking around at the edge of the cliff, the green woods and the dark red ridges are clearly visible like water washes.
Perestan withdrew his scattered and numb eyes, sighed then said, took the beef and nibbled it casually, and said while swallowing: "After being reminded by Archmaester Walgrave, several Archmaesters who had seen Queen Rhaella found something abnormal.
Daenerys Your Majesty is her daughter after all, has several points of similarities.
We just didn't think about it before - traveling thousands of miles from Slaver's Bay Oldtown, it's crazy.
Can issue one suspect, and then in addition to countless suspects, the name is 'Rhaella', from the Crownlands, the father is the high lord who lost his lands..."
Then, he turned to Dany and said proudly: "More importantly, we picked up one of your hair, and after washing it with the potion, it turned out to be silver."
" Look at your cocky, Ser Barristan, you've seen it countless times, haven't you recognized it?" Dany sneered.
"He has changed so much, his temperament and appearance have changed."
White Cloak said seriously: "Why do you want to shoot at Your Majesty?"
"For the Seven Kingdoms—"
Dany interrupted with a wave of his hand: "For the 'real world'!"
"How do you know about the 'real world'? "Perestan's eyes bulge, unbelievable.
"I already know all the secrets of Citadel. Dance of the Dragons and the extinction of dragons are all yours."
"What?" White Cloak stood up in horror and said in shock: "Citadel Why do that?"
Dany gave a wry smile, explaining the purpose of Citadel and the mystery of dragon withering.
White Cloak was still a little disbelieving, turned his head and looked towards the red-nosed old man, and asked with a complicated expression: "Is this true?"
"I have no idea what happened to this day. Let's just say, kill me!" The old Archmaester closed his eyes and waited for death with a tragic expression on his face.
"I saw a lot of Red God temples in Oldtown lower city," Dany suddenly changed his words, "Except Slaver's Bay, Essos continent, including Jade Sea various cities, all sea trade cities have Red Temples Yu and a large number of devout Red God believers.
If the Church's influence area is marked with color, almost the entire world will be dyed red.
Even Westeros... is also out. A letter to King, Stannis of Red God.
Ask Archmaester Perestan, what are you going to do with R'hllor?"
Seeing his eyes closed, Dany laughed and continued: "Indeed, the dragon went extinct, the Magic Tide went out, and even some of the Red God priests were affected, but R'hllor itself was growing.
Without the human transcendent professionals, the entire world would only be left with Spiritual God. Mastering the power of Wonders is more beneficial to the development of believers!"
"hmph, R'hllor is always in Astral Realm, and Magic Tide is the link between Astral Realm and the real world, there is no dragon, Magic Tide is dead, no matter how strong the spiritual power of Astral Realm is, it cannot interfere with the human world." Perestan opened his eyes loudly and said.
"Well, there is some truth to this," Dany nodded, agreeing with the old man Real's statement, "The problem is that some areas are very special and are naturally close to Spiritual God's 'Divine Country' in Astralm.
For example, Asshai, for example, beyond the wall, those areas can even trigger Magic Tide of higher energy levels."
"Magic Tide still has energy levels?" Perestan doubted.
"To be honest, I wasn't sure before. I've read a lot of secret tomes in your bookstore these two days, and I've gained a lot of knowledge, and I've learned something in my heart." Dany smiled bitterly.
“Remember the red comet two years ago?” she asked.
"The whole world has seen it, and no one can forget it."
"That is the appearance of a higher-level Magic Tide," Dany sighed then said, looking up at Mingmei The blue sky, slowly said, "It is clear to you that Dragon Hatching has nothing to do with sacrifice at all, and the activation of stone eggs requires two key elements - Fire Element and active Soul Element.
While giving The process of the two elements of dragon egg itself is Magic.
Dharma End Times without dragons, but I can use Magic to hatch eggs, which shows that the Magic energy level of Dragon Hatching is higher than the ordinary one used by transcendent. Magic."
"Uh, do you understand?" Dany looked frustrated, looking at the blank faces of the two.
After a while, Perestanp nodded and said: "I feel something."
"I feel something?" Dany was a little surprised.
"You are the same as dragon, you can cause Magic Tide, you should kill."
"I..." Dany gnashing teeth, can't wait to draw the sword immediately This scoundrel.
"You idiot, although 'Mother of Dragons' is the source of Magic Tide, except for its high energy level, it is essentially the same as Pyromancer, Shadowbinder and other transcendent occupations. Can 'Mother of Dragons' be? Dragon Hatching, determined by the existence of higher Level 1..."
Seeing the old man's expression of "You quibble, you continue to quibble, but I can see the truth", Dany Furious and wise, he asked with a wicked smile, "Do you know when Others appeared?"
"Others are fake!" The old Archmaester said firmly.
"I knew you would say that." Dany's smile became more and more bizarre, making the red-nosed old man feel chills in his heart.
She drew the Clearsky (Valyrian Steel Sword) from her waist and placed it on the head of the old Archmaester: "In the name of the Queen, you tried Perestan, you violated the guest right, and murdered the Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men. , the evidence is clear, punish you... Put on black clothed, guard the kingdom for the kingdom!"
Perestan said blankly: "Am I a Night's Watch?"
"hahaha, yes , I'll spare you, go guard the Wall!"
Thinking of the scene where the old man faced the Others army, Dany couldn't help it, and laughed heartily.
"Your Majesty is so kind." White Cloak, however, seemed sighed in relief and truly praised.
It took a while to heal Perestan's wounds, and when the Red Keep in King's Landing near Blackwater Bay came into view, it was past lunchtime.
As the center of Game of Thrones, King's Landing should have excited Dany, but as soon as she walked through the city gate, the strong rancid stench hit her, and the smell of feces, rotting garbage, and human and animal urine made her nauseous.
Big Black and Little White dropped Dany and Barristan in the woods on the edge of Rosby Road, just like in Oldtown, they first found a coaching station on the side of the road, sold two horses, and continued to Southwest, by The Iron Gate in the east enters King's Landing.
The Great Way is spacious enough for eight horses to walk side by side, and paved with bluestone. But the streets are very messy, with thick dirt and layers of feces, making it feel like a horse's hooves walk out of a thick blanket.
The layout of the building is also poor. The houses on both sides are uneven, and the houses are mostly small buildings with two three layers. Then the front and back yards are connected to pigsties, stables, and garbage dumps, so Dany has a way to flatten them all. impulse.
However, there are really many people in King's Landing, most of them are poor, with gray linen clothes, bare feet, slovenly, dirty and sloppy, like a refugee who has earned his life.
Even a few nobles who ride horses and hang swords often wear dark leather leather armor, which is far less gorgeous than Free City merchants.
At crossroads, a group of beggars approached Dany, more than 20 children under the age of 10, wearing only a dirty T-shirt with patches and dusty farts| Half of the eggs leaked out, and her little arms were as thin as firewood and matchsticks, holding a broken wooden bowl, looking at her with pitiful eyes, and shouting dryly: "Miss Knight, be kind, I am so kind. Hungry..."
Dany was not feeling well, and was about to take out his wallet and give them a handful of copper coins.
"It's no use giving money, there are people behind them." The old Knight stopped her, then led her and the group of children into an alley, navigating the labyrinth-like alley very skillfully.
The buildings here are denser than the houses facing the street. The low yellow mud thatched houses are like a thousand beggars crowded in a hundred square garbage dump. There are alleys everywhere, and it seems that they can't be found anywhere. to the road.
The sewers have long been blocked, and the black-hair-smelling waste water flows wantonly on the road. But the alley was not even paved with floor tiles, it became a long muddy ground, and the children stepped on the footprints as deep as their bare feet with each step. Every now and then, they stepped on a dead cat with a bulging belly. It was squeezed out of the tattered belly together with the white maggots, and the taste was rich.
"My lord, this is Flea Bottom, the slum of King's Landing," White Cloak explained in a low voice.
"But this is too poor, right?" Dany frowned tightly, "I don't believe it. With a million Golden Dragons, I can't build this place into a neatly planned red brick and green area. Tiled house!"
"But who wants to pay a million Golden Dragon? That's a lot of money." White Cloak shook his head and sighed.
"Of course King came out, this is his country, his people... Isn't King just doing this?" Dany as it should be by rights.
Old Knight stared at her sideways for a long time, seeing her serious expression with anger, he couldn't help smiling: "Sir, your thoughts are very different from other Kings."
"Here." In a shop with a dirty canvas shed, the old Knight stopped.
