Regardless of whether it was based on science or magic, the development of civilization generally had a continuity.
Valleglia's steel and Valleglia's immortal stone were also miracles in modern scientific society, but they did not suddenly appear in the world.
Before steel, there was a magical metal called "dragon steel." Before immortal stone, there was a magical stone called "black stone."
Like immortal stone, black stone was abnormally sturdy and immortal.
In the last era, the center of civilization was the barren land in the east. The Kingdom of Dawn built by the Emperor was so powerful that it could suppress the gods. In that kingdom, black stone was used in large quantities.
In order to defend against the evil demons in the eastern dark world, the Emperor built five giant fortresses in the eastern border, which were now called "Five Bases."
Five Bases was a miracle of the world, as famous as the Great Wall. It was made of black stone and could accommodate a large army of more than ten thousand people for a long time. It was more than a thousand meters tall … Uh, that's right, not a hundred meters, but more than a thousand meters, like a mountain.
Perhaps, it was a building specially designed to resist the gods' forbidden spells?
In the Westeros, there were also black stone buildings.
For example, the sea stone seat that the Dragon Queen was sitting on now.
Compared to the miracles of Five Bases, the sea stone seat was as small as a speck of dust. However, this stone chair that looked like a squid on a plate represented the supreme power of the Iron Islands.
"It's been almost two months, and you have made no progress at all?"
Asha looked up and glanced at the Queen who was swaying her legs with her legs crossed. She was a little scared. The Queen was wearing armor and had a greatsword by her feet.
Was she going to go crazy with this fully armed appearance?
She did not know if Inami could withstand the Queen's sword.
If she could not, how could she appease Tiemin who had lost his faith?
The Duchess of the Iron Islands squeezed out a flattering smile and said, "Your Majesty, I've really tried my best, but I'm not an Inami priest. Even after praying for more than a week, Her Majesty Inami still ignored me."
"Inami isn't a saint. Rather than praying, I'd rather kill a few people." Danny's mouth twitched.
The Third Drowned Man Thale replied: "Seven Drowned Men have already committed suicide by jumping into the sea. Their souls have already entered the Flowing Water Palace to personally state your alliance to Her Majesty the Inami"
Danny raised her eyebrows and said strangely, "This … is a good idea."
Her complexion improved a little.
Seven people were drowned, which meant that Iron Seed didn't slack off.
"Your Majesty, you have to be prepared. I'm guessing that Her Majesty Inami has declined your request," Thale said cautiously.
Danny gently patted the armrest with her right hand. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
"What idea?" Asha and Priest Taleb were confused.
"The Inami refused to save the world and ignored you. Do you still believe in her? Or, do you have any complaints in your heart? "Danny asked.
Asha's complexion changed a few times. She hesitated.
Of course, she was dissatisfied, but she wasn't stupid. How could she say it out loud?
Thale shook his head as if he had been electrocuted: "We Iron Seed were created by the Inami. How could we complain about our own God?"
"You don't dare, but what about me?" Danny smiled faintly: "Do you think that after being ignored for two months, I won't resent her?"
"Plop!" The two paled and knelt on the ground together.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think we should give Her Majesty the Inami a chance to turn over a new leaf." "Ah Sha's mouth was loose, and she said what was on her mind.
The Third Drowned Man's face twisted. "Duke, you should respect Her Majesty the Inami."
"Of course I respect Her Majesty the Inami, but she's in danger now. I'm worried!" Asha said anxiously.
The Third Drowned Man's voice faltered, and he mumbled: "Why, why …"
"Calm down!" Danny waved her hand. "I'm not an evil person. Even if Inami refuses, I will only persuade her.
Fighting and killing is not in line with the Holy Mother's teachings of mercy. "
The Third Drowned Man breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly had an idea: "Your Majesty, why don't you talk to Her Majesty the Inami personally?"
Danny frowned: "I've tried, but she didn't respond. If it doesn't work, I can only force my way into the Flowing Water Palace. Are you interested in taking a look? "
"Uh, I'm a living person. Can I go to the Flowing Water Palace?" Asha said blankly.
"Why do you have to do this, why do you have to do this!" The old shaman slammed his hands on the ground in agitation and cried out: "Your Majesty, please don't force your way into the Flowing Water Palace. If there's a conflict, then …"
"… If Her Majesty the Inami gets hurt, that's not good." The old shaman mumbled.
Even he subconsciously believed that Inami couldn't withstand a few blows from the Dragon Queen.
"Don't worry, I'll be merciful. I promise I won't kill your god."
"Kill?" The old shaman shuddered and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I have a way for you to contact my master."
"What way?" Danny asked curiously.
"Do you know Naga Hill? That's the temple of Her Majesty the Inami, "Shaman Taleh said.
"Hmm …" Danny nodded thoughtfully. "I can go there and take a look."
Then she got up from the chair, picked up her sword, and hung the sword belt on her left waist. She held the weirwood cane in her right hand and pointed it in front of her.
"Hum!" A thin green line appeared in the air in front of the throne. The line pulled to the left and right, and a round door with a light green membrane appeared.
"Huff … Huff … Boom!" The north wind howled, and the turbid waves shattered on the rocks. The dark seawater and gray foam even passed through the green membrane and fell on the face of the Duke of the Iron Islands who was stunned.
"What is this?" she asked dryly.
"Are you going?" Danny asked.
"To where?" Asha asked blankly.
"Ah, it's Old Wake Island. Is this the legendary dimensional door?" Shaman Taleh suddenly realized and exclaimed.
"I'll go!" Asha also came back to her senses and looked at the Dragon Queen in awe. She swallowed and said: "This dimensional door is a little high. I need to find a chair to cushion it."
Dani smiled faintly. With a gentle push of her palm, the planar membrane hanging in front of the throne sped forward horizontally. It left the range of the royal stairs and descended vertically. Then, it stuck close to the marble floor and crashed into Asha like lightning.
"Whoosh!" The dimensional door flew past, and Asha disappeared. The dimensional door turned and flew, and with another whoosh, the dumbfounded Shaman Taleh disappeared.
"Ah!" The maids and guards in the throne room finally reacted and couldn't help but exclaim.
Danny shrugged and didn't explain. She jumped lightly and landed in the dimensional door that was flying towards her.
"— —" Without a sound, the Dragon Queen disappeared along with the light green spatial gate, leaving the attendants looking at each other in dismay.
"By the name of Inami, have we really arrived at Old Wake Island?" Asha covered her mouth and exclaimed as she stood in the bone-chilling Grey Sea King's hall.
The Inami's temple wasn't in Greyjoy's Pike City.
Just like the Tully and Tyrell families, the Greyjoy family was able to become the most powerful family in the Iron Islands because Targaryen 'helped' them get rid of their respective kings.
Before the War of Conquest, the Hall family had ruled the Iron Islands for nearly six thousand years. The Hall family's achievements were much more impressive than the Greyjoy family's. At that time, not only was the River Gap Tiemin's territory, but the Western Region, the Riverbend, the Stormlands, and the Valleys were all areas where the Iron Seed family expanded.
The largest castle in the Seven Kingdoms wasn't Casterly Rock City or Storm's End Castle, but Helon Castle by the Divine Eye Lake. It was the palace of the Hall family.
This was also why the Greyjoy family's fief was neither the largest nor the richest.
The largest island in the Iron Islands was Great Wake Island, the most fertile island was Harlow Island, and the most sacred island was Old Wake Island. The Greyjoy family's Pike City was small and barren. It also lacked a good harbor. Due to the weathering of the promontory, there were many rocks in the nearby sea.
.....
"Woo woo —" The moment Danny's feet touched the ground, a hurried horn sounded from the side.
It was their arrival that triggered the sentry's alarm.
Not far from the Grey Sea King's hall, there were several sentry towers erected.
The sky was dark and turbid waves surged. The bottom of the towers was covered in a layer of eye-catching white alkali. The flames in the towers flickered and the sentry with a torch was running towards them.
"Don't worry, it's me!" Asha shouted at the soldiers who had drawn their swords and crossbows.
The sky was dark and Asha didn't light a torch. The guards could only vaguely see a few figures. The howling cold wind distorted the duchess' voice.
Danny opened her right hand. Black foam appeared in the palm of her silver iron glove.
"Caw!" The foam condensed into a black crow. The black crow leaped into the air and exploded into a fireball in the sky. The scorching fireball flickered a few times. The flames were restrained and the temperature was lowered. However, it suddenly shone brightly. The Grey Sea King's hall was as bright as day.
"Ah, this is …" The soldiers who were running towards them stopped and covered their eyes in shock.
"It's me." Asha took a few steps forward and recognized the leader. She pointed at Danny and said, "Tanner, this is the Dragon Queen."
Then, she introduced him to the Dragon Queen. "Your Majesty, this is Tanner Zhuo Gu, the second son of 'Bone Hand' Dunstan."
Zhuo Gu was the Lord of Old Wake Island. His clan emblem was a skeletal palm.
After the greetings, Tanner left the other guards outside and followed Danny and the others into the Grey Sea King's hall.
The so-called Grey Sea King's hall was actually the stomach of the sea dragon Naga. Forty-four ribs were the beams and pillars. Between the ribs hung a curtain made of silver seaweed. The interior area was more than a thousand square meters.
"It was said that Naga was the world's first sea dragon. It was extremely powerful and could overturn rivers and seas.
However, it was still no match for the Grey Sea King. When its body was dragged to the hill, the Inami came and turned Naga's bones into fossils. That's how it looks now. "
The old shaman squatted on the ground and stroked the thick spine of a train. His tone was filled with pride that made Danny disgusted.
She looked indifferent. She walked to the end of the hall and passed through the passage made by the sea dragon's throat bones. She came to the head of the Megalosaurus.
The Grey Sea King used the sea dragon's mouth to create a grey throne. The sea dragon's teeth were like a crown that surrounded the throne.
After a moment's hesitation, Danny sat on it.
With both hands on the armrest, Danny took a deep breath. She closed her eyes and opened them again. In an instant, the timeline in her eyes flew back …
Four years ago, "Wet Magic" Irén gathered all the Iron Seed captains to hold a King Selection Meeting (only captains were eligible to participate in the King Selection Meeting). Yolun Of Silla and Asha announced their respective elections here.
Yolun Of Silla's plundering of the world was better than Asha's taking land for farming. Asha hoped that the North would cede the Rock Coast in the west to the Iron Islands so that the Iron Seed could farm for a living.
Six thousand years ago, in the second last King Selection Meeting before Irén, the Greyenne family violated the rules set by the Inami and slaughtered all the candidates. Blood stained the ribs of the Naga. After that, the King Selection Meeting became a decoration. The Greyenne family became the hereditary king of the Iron Islands. Until a thousand years later, the Hall family joined forces with Greyjoy and slaughtered the Greyenne family.
After that, Danny witnessed 111 King Selection Meetings one after another. Basically, she became more and more moral.
Uh, looking at the river of time, she became more and more shameless.
For example, when the Iron King was old and weak, he arranged for his son to ascend the throne. When the new Iron King ascended the throne, he immediately massacred the people of the previous generation of the Iron Throne …
