Chapter 575
"Brynden, you are the Others!"
"clang clang clang --" The five Knights drew their swords vigilantly, guarding the Dragon Queen at the center.
"Hodor..." Hodor was blank.
The Reed siblings next to them were pale.
Leaf frowned.
"Okay, good eyesight!" A look of admiration flashed in Brynden's only dim eye.
"But I'm not Others, you should be able to understand this."
Dany waved his hand and let the little brother's sword return to its sheath, took a few steps forward, and walked Going to Brynden, frowning at him and saying, "Why can I understand?"
"Hehe, I see what you've done in the Citadel! I have to say, Targaryen Dozens of generations, not as good as you...smart." Brynden said meaningfully.
Bloodraven actually wanted to say "treachery".
"Citadel Bookstore..."
Jaqen..."Death God Scripture - Teach you to become Others"?
Dany face changed, she was not in Westeros when she taught "Death God Scripture" to Jaqen, Three-Eyed Crow can only guess based on clues, there is absolutely no certainty.
Since that's the case...
"Why don't I understand what you said?" Dany asked in confusion.
Of course you have to play stupid.
What Brynden knows, Brandon doesn't know now, and he will know in the future.
"Well, well..." The Bone King gives her a deep look, saying: "Others are servants created by Cold God with Magic.
Magic is just a This kind of knowledge, I can master that knowledge, and naturally I can use it.
Like the countless transcendent Sects in the world, they all start by imitating Spiritual God."
"I'm curious. , why can you see my roots at a glance?"
"I don't have the confidence, I will come to see you?"
Dany's mind is spinning rapidly, and his body is full of fire sorcery strength is surging.
Anyone who possesses the power of transcendent can feel it.
Jojen · Reed, Squirrelmen Leaf, and Hodor, who turned into Bran at some point, all changed dramatically.
"You are dozens of times stronger than the last time we met!" Brynden also looked shocked.
"How did you do it?"
Dany's whole body's magic power suddenly converged, returning to a bland state, indifferently said: "Efforts to cultivate, fortuitous encounters again and again."
"How did you do it?" p>
Showing strength is not only a demonstration, but also telling Brynden: My innate talent is already very strong, your Supreme Treasure to enhance innate talent may be useful to me, but it is not necessary.
This Targaryen Old Ancestor was nominally giving her a gift, but it was actually more of a deal.
——The other party must have something very important to ask her to do.
Since it's business, of course, you have to lower the price first - the buyer makes the seller think that she is not so eager to buy.
“Who is Cold God? What does it have to do with Greenseer?”
Dany asked a question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Let's communicate in another way. For me now, the body is no longer Soul's armor, but a drag." Brynden's eyes darkened, and he said in a flies-like voice.
After saying this, he closed one eye in front of everyone and fell asleep.
Leaf explained: "Master Brynden's body is on the verge of destruction, and he's been awake for less than half a day over the years."
"Into Weirwood?" Dany frowned.
"You can do it." The Squirrelmen stared at the Dragon Queen, confirmed.
"Of course!" Dany hesitated.
The Little White of Slaver's Bay instantly crossed tens of thousands of miles and entered the Dreki state. The second soul of the ring belt merged with the dragon soul, and suddenly escaped from the consciousness space and rushed into the Weirwood tree root beside him.
Like a car driving into a highway, like a cosmic spaceship into hyperspace, like the last time Dany went after Varamyr Sixskins.
She shuttled through the blood-red world and came to a huge human face.
A tall and straight man with shoulder-length hair, one-knee kneels, prays devoutly in front of the giant face.
Bone-white hair covers most of his face.
But this is mental space, and Dany can still "see" his pale skin, scarlet's eyes, and a red wine-colored birthmark on his cheek and chin, like a red crow.
This is a younger version of Duke Bloodraven, Brynden Rivers.
"When you meet a god, why don't you just bow?" Brynden said without looking up.
Dany in blue White Cloak stood on the back of White Dragon and said indifferently: "If I worship him, what will the Seven Kingdoms believers do?"
Brynden stood up, shook his flowing hair gently, revealing the red birthmark on his right eye and right cheek, looked at Dany carefully, and lowered his head again, his white hair fell, covering the Bloodraven birthmark again. At the same time, the bangs will also Right eye blocked.
He seems to have forgotten that this is mental space, and he can "see" the person opposite without shaking his head.
Or, the habit of life is too deep-rooted, deep into the Soul.
"Ai, I never dreamed that a daring person like you would appear in Targaryen, who even dared to usurp the position of The Seven and succeeded..." He said with a complicated expression.
"Don't say this, I'm very timid, I don't dare to murder kin, I dare not engage in Dance of the Dragons, I dare not engage in Blackfyre rebellion, I dare not be as stupid as your father, Don't dare to be as crazy as my dad, don't dare to break an oath like my Old Brother, and don't dare to be as ruthless as you are." Dany lightly said with a smile.
Brynden shook his head again, revealing twisted cheeks and wide eyes, and said, "You're... arrogant."
Dany's chin lifted slightly, The tone of as it should be by rights: "That's because you haven't seen my humility toward truth, justice, and light, and my arrogance is only aimed at the unrighteous and depraved inhumans."
"You ...Forget it, I can't say enough about you, and only someone like you can make a major event." Brynden bowed his head, his long hair covered the birthmark, and his tone resignedly surrendered.
Dany waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, I don't want to gossip with you either, just get down to business.
Tell me the secret of Cold God and Others first.
Tell me the secret of Cold God and Others first.
p>
Let's talk about the relationship between Cold God and Greenseer, why Greenseer's meditation method is so similar to Others, and even... can complement each other."
"Cold God is Old Gods and Other. Other, literally, does not belong to the Spiritual God of this world."
"God from another world?" Dany was surprised.
"Different world?" Brynden was stunned for a moment before he understood what Dany meant.
"The word different world is very vivid, but... if there is a different world, then there is an area between our world and a different world. Maybe Other was originally born from our world, but belongs to the world. Outside."
"What's the difference between this and another world?" Dany frowned.
"The difference is huge. Like you, you were born in Westeros and grew up on the Essos continent.
If you want to fight for Iron Throne, the Seven Kingdoms will have very few people against you.
You can be replaced by someone else, such as a certain Khal on the Great Grass Sea, and all the nobles will resist.
Similarly, if the Other is from a different world, it cannot be Integrating into our world, it is even more impossible to master the Principle Song of this world."
"It makes sense," Dany nodded, and asked, "He came from outside the world, how did he become Old Gods?"
“Other fused with an Old God to become Cold God, that is Other, and also Old Gods.”
“True God can also be fused? How?” Dany wondered.
"Hehe, this question, you 'The Seven' are the experts, right? How does The Seven fit into one?" Brynden said with a smile.
"It's not the same, The Seven is divided into the seven priesthoods of a Spiritual God, just like you, your identity can also be divided into the illegitimate child of Targaryen, Hand of the King, Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, Greenseer."
Brynden shook his head, exposed his eyes, glanced at her quickly, lowered his head again, his long hair covered the birthmark, and said, "It's nothing different, if they can merge, it means they have There must be something in common.”
“So, which Old Gods did the Other merge with? What do they have in common?” Dany asked.
Brynden repeated his head shaking and bowing again, and said strangely: "You can find that Greenseer and Others' basic meditation methods are extremely similar, and even complementary, don't you have any association?"
"I can't imagine." Dany said in disbelief.
"It's true," Brynden said.
"I have seen Gate God...I have seen the Weirwood God who masters the Song of Wind. He is amiable, gentle and generous, not like Evil God at all." Dany said with difficulty.
"What is Evil God in your mind?" Brynden asked.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dany blurted out: "Accept blood sacrifice and mutilate human beings, such as Shadow Demon R'hllor, such as Qohor Black Goat."
Brynden shook his head and sighed: " Your standard is too self-centered, as if saying 'those who treat me well are good people, and those who treat me badly are bad people'.
In fact, Mother Goddess ... that is It's the Weirwood God you mentioned. He never refuses blood sacrifice, and even likes blood more than R'hllor.
It's a simple truth, which tree doesn't like flowers and fat? What else is more than flesh and blood? Better flower fertilizer?"
"This..." Dany froze on the spot, Brynden's words seemed to make sense!
If Dany had a deep understanding of the customs of the Old Gods, this would not have been a question.
Old Gods' Priest campaign was far bloodier and more brutal than Red God's.
The followers of R'hllor like to burn people, and the true followers of the Old Gods (Wildlings and clan people) will open the chest of the sacrifice and hang the heart tree with entrails.
Well, after the Andals invaded Westeros, North Old Gods believers changed their bad habit of blood sacrifice, and only a few mountain clans still believed in the Old Way.
Think about the Drowned God who taught people to burn, kill, and loot, and that's also Old Gods.
Old Gods differ from New Gods only by the time of their birth.
The Spiritual God born in the Desolate Wilderness Period, whether True God or Half God, is considered Old Gods, probably before the Second Era - 10,000 years ago.
For example, Fire God R'hllor.
The Spiritual God born in the second era, that is, after the opening of the human era, is the new god.
For example, The Seven, for example, Lord of Light R'hllor.
Well, The Seven has only seven stakes, but it's really a new god in name - Big Black is also a new god.
R'hllor is interesting. He exists in Ancient Times and should be Old Gods.
But at the beginning of the Second Era, the Song of Fire was taken away by the Sheep Balls brother, and the Fire God Divine Spark was lost, and then slowly turned into Lord of Light.
Lord of Light was born thousands of years ago and of course belongs to the new gods.
digressed.
It can also be seen from the division of the new gods, the Old Gods, that the Old Gods are more wild.
Ancient people were bloodier and more savage than modern people, is there a problem?
"Ai, Weirwood's nature is not bad, but the savage customs of the Barbarian Desolate Era."
At this time, Dany also remembered when Brandon the Builder intercepted the Gate God branch, The 100 Royal Family Maiden who committed suicide (before Seven Kingdoms took shape, the First Men with a little castle dared to call themselves King), but she still couldn't help but say "justice" for Gate God.
"But God Weirwood is dead, how does he merge with Other?" Dany wondered.
"It's the branches that die, and the roots that fuse with the Other," Brynden said.
"Uh, how can you be so... saucy?" Dany was stunned.
