Chapter 353
The octagonal kitchen has more than 200 square meters, which should be very spacious, but the furnishings inside take up most of the area.
Just across from the slaughtering table, there is a row of more than a dozen huge brick ovens.
On the south side of the stove, there are traces of cleaning, not far away there are soot and unburned wood, there are a few fish heads by the extinguished bonfire, and some charred wood. Fishbone.
Dany walked over to the entrance and said casually, "The passage is in the well?"
"Ah, how did you know that?" Sam turned pale in fright.
The well in the center of the kitchen is entirely made of stone. The well is half a meter high and the diameter of the wellhead is nearly four meters. The walls of the well are wet and covered with scale. down into the endless darkness.
"The hidden door in the well is an old story. Even more how there are steps on the side of the well, covered with moss and obvious footprints." Dany lightly said with a smile.
Speaking, she picked up a brick from the ground and threw it down lightly.
For a while, a muffled sound came from the depths of the darkness, and a faint echo traveled up the well. roll.
"Your Majesty, I'll go down and have a look." Barristan offered to ask.
"Wait a minute, I'll drop a Fireball and go down to find the way."
Dany poked the Big Black beckons with the hand towards the kitchen door.
"Fuck!" Big Black growled lowly, opened his mouth, and spewed out a fire snake with the thickness of an arm, wandering around like a living creature, and came to Dany's body, curling and twisting into one. A bright red Fireball with a big fist.
The conjuring scene left Fatty Sam stunned, not noticing the cold snot hanging under his nostrils slid into his open mouth.
After learning the incomplete Greenseer meditation, Dany's ability to accurately control the flame has been greatly improved, and the range and flexibility of the Fireball's fluttering around the body has also increased a lot.
At this moment, Fireball with a big fist has already taken a step ahead of White Cloak, floated into the well mouth, and slowly fell down.
Dany, Aemon, and Samwell were leaning on the edge of the well, looking down. Mirror-like reflection, swaying, swaying.
"There is no door," Barristan said.
The shaft is 30 meters long. When the Fireball falls to one third depth, the water surface of the wall and bottom of the well below can be seen at a glance.
There is no door, not even a single window, all around the well wall is dark, covered with scale, and there is no sign of opening or closing.
Dany turned to fatty, saw the calm look in his eyes as it should be by rights, and knew that he had already guessed that they couldn't find the door.
Aemon asked him: "Where's the door?"
"huhuhu—" Fireball descended to the bottom of the well, and as he approached the water, a gust of wind suddenly rushed up from the bottom of the well, and the wind howled , the water in the dark well is like a huge wave rolling back, and the Dragonflame Fireball is swaying like a candle flame.
"Chi—" Dragonflame gradually could no longer maintain its Fireball form, and suddenly stretched into a line of fire, rising ten meters high with the gust of wind, and quickly extinguished, the deep well was dark again, only a low wind Screaming like a woman whimpering.
For the first time, Dany's Dragonflame Fireball lost control and was blown out by the wind.
The four people on the edge of the well were blown back several steps by the strong wind from the bottom of the well. The clutter of noises came all around the kitchen.
"Where did this demon wind come from?" Dany looked towards fatty Sam in amazement.
"I don't know. When I went down, there was nothing unusual at the bottom of the well." Fatty was at a loss.
"There is no gate at the bottom of the well, and there shouldn't be such a strong wind." Both Aemon and Barristan looked puzzled.
"This gust of wind is definitely not natural, and my Dragonflame Fireball will not be blown out by ordinary winds." Dany affirmed.
“Your Majesty, shall I go down and have a look?” Barristan said.
"This..." Dany hesitated, "As you can see, the wind is too strong, if you fall into the water, you will be in iron armor..."
"It's too dangerous, forget it." She shook her head firmly.
"Sam, what do you say?" Aemon looked towards fatty.
Dany and Barristan looked over together, fatty shrinking from the invisible pressure.
Hesitating for a moment, he whispered: "Don't lift the torch, don't throw the Fireball, but Ser is not a Night's Watch, and you can't see anything after going down."
"Is there any danger? "Aemon asked.
"Probably not." Fatty Sam frowned, uncertain.
"clang!" Barristan drew his sword and slammed it into the crack of the brick along the well.
"Chi--" The black blade of the smoke is like piercing the wood, easily piercing the edge of the well and slap length.
"In an accident, I fixed my body with a sword." Old Knight said.
"It's better to take off your armor." Maester Aemon suggested.
"No, the armor can't be taken off," Dany shook the head, "The gust of wind just now was not formed naturally, there are traces of Magic, and the Valyria steel armor has a miraculous effect on the defense against Magic attacks."
"I'll go down first, and if you still can't find Black Gate, you'll go down with me." Barristan said to Sam.
After he finished speaking, he leaned against the wall of the well with one hand, held the sword in the other, stepped on the damp steps, and walked down step by step.
Dany frowned as the White Cloak faded into the darkness, only to hear the iron boots touching the stones, making a "ka ka" sound that echoed in the shaft.
Barristan seems to have walked a long, long section of the road, and the waiting time is very painful. Dany has been hovering on the edge of regret, and wanted to shout down several times to let the old Knight come up.
But the bottom of the well was so calm that even the sound of Knight's iron glove swiping on the well wall could be heard, and the previous gust of wind seemed to be an illusion.
"No, nothing." Just as Dany was worrying about gains and losses, the old Knight shouted loudly from below.
The sound reverberates in the shaft and is somewhat distorted when transmitted to the wellhead.
"I'm up?" said the old Knight.
"No, let Sam down, be careful," Dany said.
Under the gaze of Dragon Queen, Sam sighed then said, comfortingly said: "I didn't break my oath, Queen Your Majesty is too smart, oneself found it here."
This remark seemed to work, and he regained his energy and walked down the stone steps nimbly, leaning against the wall with one hand and hanging by his side.
"Seven Hells!" About a quarter of an hour later, the old Knight shouted in horror from the bottom of the well.
We've been together for almost two years. I've seen Valyria Fiend and Balerion composed of Wyrm, but Dany has never seen such a fearful Barristan.
He's called Bold!
"There's a door, Your Majesty, there really is a door, The Seven! It, it..."
"It's talking!!!" Barristan exclaimed shouted.
"...Who-who-who-who-who-who-who?" At the same time, a low but unusually clear echo came from the bottom of the well.
Dany and Aemon turned pale and took a step back in horror.
It wasn't Barristan's voice, it wasn't Sam's voice, and there was a third person down the well.
But only two people go down the well...
"I'm Barristan Selmy, Kingsguard of Daenerys Your Majesty." Dany hears Barristan stumbling, like being dominated sound.
"You—don't—should—come—this!" said the low voice clearly.
"I..." White Cloak not knowing what to do.
"He came with me," said Sam suddenly, "I am the sword in the dark, the guard on the Wall. The flames against the cold, the light of Morn's hour, the horn that awakens the sleeper, The strong shield that guards the kingdom."
—This is the Night's Watch oath.
In the afternoon at Sept, Dany also witnessed Perestan take the same oath to The Seven.
......
......
......
In the past ten For a few minutes, the bottom of the well was always silent, as if the two people had disappeared.
Dany and Aemon looked at each other in blank dismay.
"Big Black!" Dany turned towards the Black Dragon beckons with the hand, who were crowding at the door. After a while, another Dragonflame Fireball fell into the well, and only dived ten meters before stopping because of this height. Enough to allow people on the edge of the well to see the bottom of the well.
Empty, with no doors and no one.
Barristan and Sam are gone.
"Uh..." Dany turned his eyes back on the old Aemon again.
"Wait and see, since you can go out, you can come back." Old Aemon said.
Then the two of them just stood by the well and waited.
Moonlight pierced through the crack in the roof, casting a silver glow on them, and there was silence all around, not even the sound of mice running, inaudible.
Sen Leng is like an invisible arrow, projected from the huge ice crystal city wall next door, hitting people's knees, lower abdomen, hands, neck, face, ears, drilling into the flesh, Drilling into the bone marrow, old Aemon couldn't help but shivered on the edge of the well.
"Old Master, go to the door to warm up." Dany stomped his feet and breathed out white air.
"Hey, old." Aemon didn't insist, and moved to Big Black's side, leaning on Black Dragon's neck and sitting on the package.
"It's so warm." He touched Big Black's hot scales and laughed.
After waiting for another half an hour, Dany finally couldn't bear it any longer. He took off his backpack, took out the glass candle from it, locked the Soul fragments left on Barristan's body, and started mental protection.
...
The Wall is straight like a sword on the east and twisted and twisted on the west like a crawling snake.
The North land near the wall, the east is flat plain, but the west has many hills and canyons. Wall avoids canyons and rises and falls on craggy ridges.
At this point, Barristan and Sam were huddled under the steep hills, in the gap between the two boulders, stomping their feet, and their opponent gasping.
And not far away, a towering wall of ice crystals blocked their way south, as it had done to the Wildlings for thousands of years.
"Ser, why don't we go to the woods to find some logs to ignite and make a fire to keep warm?" Sam's eyebrows condensed with frost, and his face seemed to be blown into two balls of red jelly in the cold wind. The words are all useless.
"There are Others in the woods, wait, Your Majesty will be here soon." Barristan said wearily.
"How did Your Majesty know we were here?"
"Where's the door?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the side, fatty rubbing Rubbing his eyes, he stared blankly at the Dragon Queen who was beating the Wall curiously, and said incredulously, "Daenerys Your Majesty?"
"Where is that door?" Dany asked back.
fatty Sam was stupefied in shock, but Barristan had long imagined that the Dragon Queen would appear in this way, without the slightest surprise, he drilled straight out of the gap between the boulders and drew a circle on an ice crystal, saying: : "Probably here."
