Chapter 354
It was late at night.
Rat Cook cooks Andals Prince's kitchen, and moonlight spills down the well along the hole in the roof.
Barristan pointed to the wellhead and explained oneself's journey to Dany with a lingering fear: "There is a small platform at the bottom of the well to get water, and I stood there waiting for Sam.
It was obviously wet before. A smooth brick stone well wall, but as Sam approached, the wall suddenly turned into a white Weirwood door."
After failing to find the Black Gate exit outside the Wall, Dany sent Little White to take Barristan and Fatty Sam picked it up.
Black Gate teleportation appears to involve Space Magic.
A bit unbelievable, even Space Magic came out? !
But reality is so fantastic.
Black Gate At the bottom of Nightfort's kitchen well, it stands to reason that after crossing the Black Gate, Sam and Barristan should be separated from Nightfort by a wall, in fact Dany found them three kilometers west of Nightfort.
Sam also said that the cave where Coldhands took him last time was not here.
"Weirwood?" Dany's heart startled, and at the same time felt that as it should be by rights, nodded said: "It is said that Wall was imposed Magic by Children of the Forest."
Barristan Affirmatively said: "It's Magic! Weirwood in white, with an old man's face on it, it can talk, and has oneself awareness.
When Sam said the Night's Watch oath, the mouth on the face immediately opened. On, I was confused for a while after I went in, and then appeared outside the Wall."
"I'll go down and have a look." Dany be eager to have a try.
"Will it be too dangerous? Dany, in your current capacity, you can't act impulsively." Old Aemon persuaded.
"The king is not under the wall, I understand." Dany's face showed a free and easy smile, "Besides the king, I'm still Mage, a dao-seeker, who is related to the throne and power Than, I'm more curious about the world's secrets now.
And this well has existed for thousands of years, during which time countless Night's Watches went down to fetch water, and there must have been many Night's Watches passing through the Wall through the Black Gate, they It's all right, why did it happen to me to be in danger?
Besides, I am the orthodox Queen of Andals, Rhoynar and First Men, and the great hero who will end Long Night in the future. Black Gate is conscious, Knowing the identity of my savior, it is too late to protect me, how can you deliberately harm me?"
Aemon embarrassed, but think about it again, Dragon Queen is a bit shameless, but her words are not rough.
Black Gate is obviously a friend of the Night's Watch, a guardian of the Wall, no reason to hurt a good Queen.
"Then be careful." Old Maester said helplessly.
Without much delay, Dany walked down the stairs in the well wall. Seeing that Barristan was also ready to come down, she left to stop her and said, "Ser, you will be at the wellhead."
"I have to protect you," old Knight said.
"Hey, the bottom of the well is empty, nothing but stones and water." Dany shook his head.
“No one knows what’s hidden in the well water. It’s safer to be with me,” Ser Barristan said.
"Hey, can a Rat Cook pop up from the bottom of the well?" Dany laughed indifferently, "A monster really came out of the water, and the two of us squeezed into the small platform below, but we couldn't use our hands and feet. ."
"Then I'll be on the stairs above the Black Gate." White Cloak insisted.
"Okay." Dany is no longer reluctant, she is the first to go down, Sam follows closely from behind, and White Cloak is the third.
The spiral stone steps in the well wall are not narrow, one palm wide and thirty centimeters long. Beyond the wall, the weather is cold, the moss is not thick, and the feet are not slippery. Walking on it is steady. .
It's just that in the dark environment, people's sense of balance will be worse, she still has to stretch out a hand to support the wall.
The top of the well is bathed in moonlight, getting narrower and dimmer with each turn.
Dany heard oneself's footsteps echoing among the wet stones, and the sound of the water below was getting louder and louder, circle after circle, the well became darker and the air colder.
Listening to the sound of water rippling at the bottom of the well, she was very puzzled. It was already this temperature, why didn't it freeze into ice?
Gradually, Dany's eyes got used to the dark environment at the bottom of the well. With the thin moonlight above her head, she could even see the stone wall on the opposite side and the shaking water below. She can walk like a flying without holding onto the wall.
"Fatty, you stop first and let me try to see if the Black Gate opens for me." Halfway through, she called to the fatty above.
"Wow." Sam and Barristan stopped.
After adapting to the low-light environment, Dany's speed became faster and faster, and deng deng deng walked to the bottom, a platform one finger high from the water surface - it was actually a larger stone step, twenty cm wide and half a meter long.
For some reason, the dark water was extremely unsettled, swaying like water in a novice plumber's bucket, hitting the stone wall and making a muffled sound.
If viewing the sky from the bottom of a well, the bottom of the well is regarded as a world, and the well water is an ocean, then a Level 12 typhoon hangs on the ocean at this time.
"Could it be that there is a giant turtle at the bottom of the well? If it had been raised since Wall was established, how old would it have been for eight thousand years?" Dany said to himself.
"dang dang dang..." Taking back his reverie, Dany tapped back and forth on the damp stone wall beside the small stone platform.
"I am the Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, and so is Daenerys Targaryen!" Dany said with a serious face to the stone wall.
“——”
No response at all.
"I'm the Mother of Dragons, and there are five dragons!" she added.
"——" still didn't respond at all.
"I am the slave liberator, freedom advocate, Mhysa of the world's misery slave!"
"—"
"I guard the Wall, kill Others!”
“——”
“I am the legendary savior, Azor Ahai reincarnated!”
“——”
"I've got two dragons out there, don't make it easy for Dragonflame to burn Weirwood." Dany started threatening.
"——"
"I...cao!" Dany gnashing teeth, looking up to Sam above and shouting: "fatty, come down!"
The sound of rustling footsteps came from overhead, Sam and White Cloak began to move down again, and Dany's dragon soul entered, staring at the stone wall in front of him.
The sound of leather boots rubbing against the stone steps is getting closer, and Fatty's breathing is clearly audible.
"oh my god!" Dany exclaimed suddenly.
Without any premonition, the stone wall suddenly turned into a door, a white Weirwood gate with a face on it.
Black Gate is not black at all, on the contrary, it is white.
The wooden door emits milk-white rays of light, like the mixing and mixing of milk and moonlight, but the light is so weak that it can hardly illuminate anything except the door itself, even the people standing in front of it. Dany was also pitch black.
The face on the door was pale and ancient, wrinkled and lifeless.
Well, it wasn't carved on the door, or in other words, there was no wooden door at all, but a face appeared in front of Dany's eyes.
The face of a living Old Gods suppressed under the Wall.
His mouth was closed, his eyes were closed, his cheeks were sunken, his forehead was shriveled, and his chin was slack. If a person has immortality, not immortality, and after he has lived for ten million years, getting older and older, eventually his face will look like this.
From Dreki's point of view, this old man's rotten tree face exudes endless magic power and divine immortality, dazzling like a sun falling in front of him.
If majesty is a real object, it would be better to collect the majesty of all Kings and nobles in the entire human history and stack them together.
Dany's legs are trembling, and she has the urge to kneel to worship, even the Big Black in her Soul Sea has already knelt down, and it is her oneself's will that can keep her last dignity.
Seeing Dragon Queen's pale face, sweat pouring out of the rain, and her body shaking, Sam wondered, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
"I... ." Dany was awakened, and immediately dispersed his dragon soul, all abnormality disappeared immediately, the Weirwood gate in front of him was so rotten, people had the illusion of kicking it into a pulp.
"The Seven is up!" She patted her chest a few times, soothed her breath, and said in horror, "The power of True God is so terrifying!"
"True God What are you talking about?" Sam asked curiously.
"Hey, ignorance is a bliss." Dany glanced at fatty, filled with emotion.
At this moment, the door opened, and the white eyeballs like Weirwood's face seemed to be empty, but Dany was startled.
Seven Hells!
He is alive, and his consciousness begins to return.
"Who are you?" the door asked, and Jing echoed softly, "Who-who-who-who-who-who-who?"
Dany When he raised his hand, he interrupted Fatty's mouth opening to say his oath, and calmly said, "I'm Mother of Dragons, Daenerys."
It's a very simple title, nothing fancy.
"You—" The door hesitated and asked, "Are you going to come in?"
"Ah!" fatty Sam was shocked, can you open the Black Gate without chanting a spell?
This is not what Coldhands said!
"I want to know Wall's secret," Dany said.
"Swear!" said the door, wrinkling his nose.
Dany was stunned for a while, then raised his hand and swore, "I won't say a word of what I saw and heard today, and I will never threaten Wall's safety."
>"Swear!" repeated the door.
"Uh, what oath?" Dany said blankly.
"Your Majesty, maybe the oath of Night's Watch," Sam hesitantly.
"What? Make me a Night's Watch?!" Dany's eyes widened in disbelief.
Like Maester, Night's Watch does not admit women, even more how she is a working Queen.
"Not the same, maybe just part of the Night's Watch oath," cautions Barristan above. "Don't devote the rest of your life to Night's Watch, and don't have to die."
Dany recalled Sam's "incantation" before, and it turned out to be the end, leaving only the "essence" in the middle, then cleared his throat, and said seriously: "I am the sword in the dark, the guard on the Wall, against the cold flames , the light of Morn's hour, the horn that awakens the sleeper, the strong shield that guards the kingdom."
"No—" The door seemed a little irritable.
"This doesn't work either?" Dany was also angry, must this King be clothed with black cloth?
"Ancient oath." The door reminded.
"Gah—" Dany was dumbfounded.
"Do you know what an ancient oath is?" She turned to Sam.
fatty looked thoughtful and said, "Is it the oath signed by the Children of the Forest and the First Men?"
"No way, what does that oath (ps) have to do with Wall?" Dany shook his head.
Suddenly, the door pouted like a smoke ring, moving towards Dany and spewing out a circle of white glyph as light as smoke.
The glyph is extremely complex. The "QR code" outlined with 108 characters contains only a very simple piece of information: I swear, balance the natural elements, guard this world, and make the world never Fall into the Dark Abyss.
