After showing off, Danny put away Frost God's body and stood on top of Tessa's head. She looked down at the battlefield filled with death and sighed: "We suffered a lot of casualties, but today's victory has a very special meaning.
You guys killed Strange Ghost King, I killed Frost God, we are all humans.
This is not the first time the Long Night has happened, and it is not the first time the living have won against the Long Night, but only this time, humans are the true protagonists of the Long Night.
This means that a new era of humans is about to begin, and that humans will become the true masters of this world.
Our fate, the fate of the kingdom, the fate of the world, will all be controlled by us humans.
Tomorrow will be different from yesterday!! "
The Three River Battlefield was endless. Torches, bonfires, and Holy Light balls were like stars in the sky, randomly decorating the dark and cold ground.
The ground was stained with ice and snow and dried blood. The living and the dead were lying on the ground. Deviant ghosts and the living dead were either burning or slowly melting while emitting white frost. Broken swords, shattered dragon crystals, and toppled flags were everywhere.
Dragon Queen's voice was not loud, but it carried a warm wind that blew into the ears of all the soldiers who survived the bitter battle.
They did not understand much, but the knowledge of ending the Long Night was enough for them to raise their hands and cheer loudly.
"The Long Night is over, what about the sun?" The Demon Dragon Gnome asked softly.
Danny did not answer and only said loudly: "This battle should be recorded in history. The entire process of the battle, the name of every soldier who participated, will be engraved on a stone tablet and will be passed down for generations to come.
Now, the soldiers will start to clean up the battlefield, and the living will prepare for the funeral of the dead. Tonight, there will be a celebration of victory, and also a collective mourning for the heroes. "
Then, she jumped down from Demon Dragon Tyrion's head, glanced at the nobles and soldiers around her, and said: "I will now fulfill the promise from back then. The one who ends the Long Night will be the king, and the hero who is first on the Hero Ranking will be the king."
"In theory, ending the Long Night not only requires killing Strange Ghost King, but also expelling the cold and darkness and summoning the sun for the world.
But summoning the sun is my responsibility, and killing Strange Ghost King will make me the king of the Seven Kingdoms. "
"Who killed Strange Ghost King? Or rather, who contributed the most in the battle against King Strange Ghost? "
Nearly half of the people looked at the pale Jon with complicated gazes.
Not only was his face as white as a sheet of paper, but blood was also flowing from the corner of his mouth. There was also a huge dent in his steel breastplate, and his left arm was torn from the shoulder.
At this moment, the severed arm and shoulder were randomly pieced together.
A third of the people looked at Erya with a puzzled expression.
They did not see the whole battle clearly. They only vaguely saw that Erya was like a god or a devil, casting powerful spells nonstop. Was he the main force?
Arya was already an adult. She was 1.7 meters tall and curvaceous. She was wearing a tight black Crocodile God leather armor, and her breasts were bulging. However, one of her breasts was bigger than the other. It seemed like someone had punched her, and her left breast was swollen.
There were also a small number of people who were looking at Sansa, who was holding the Dragon Crystal.
The Storm Queen's Holy Mother Palm was also very eye-catching.
Every time she struck out a palm, she would shout with all her might, wishing that everyone on the battlefield could hear her.
The remaining people either looked at Meribad's group or were confused. They hadn't seen the process of King Strange Ghost's death with their own eyes.
"It was Jon." After a moment of silence, Arya was the first to speak. "He broke King Strange Ghost's ice armor and used the Burning Dark Sisters to cut off the giant's head."
"Jon, was that you?" Danny asked with a smile.
"I …" Jon glanced at the expressionless Sansa and said hesitantly, "I killed it, but I don't necessarily have the most credit. For example, Sansa has been using her Holy Mother Palm to shatter the earth and restrict King Strange Ghost's movements.
Otherwise, I would have been grabbed by the head or beaten to death. "
As he spoke, he pointed at the crisscrossing ravines on the ground.
There were more than a dozen two-meter-wide and ten-meter-long uneven tunnels. Through the cracks, they could even see the black earth beneath the layer of snow.
"We all assisted, but you were the one who caused the most damage to King Strange Ghost. You were also the one who cut off King Strange Ghost's head and stabbed your longsword into its forehead." Meribad said in a low voice.
Jon looked at the silent Sansa and sighed. "I am willing to abide by the vassal's oath. The glory belongs to me, but the achievements in the long night belong to the monarch I am loyal to."
When he said this, everyone was in an uproar.
Arya's brows furrowed.
Bran sighed softly and closed his eyes.
Sansa's lips curled into a smile, but she quickly regained her calm expression.
The disappointment and disdain in Margaery's eyes were completely undisguised.
Jaime looked deeply at Jon and shook his head.
The Demon Dragon Tyrion was silent.
.....
Melisandre mocked, "Jon Stark, you once swore loyalty to His Majesty Stannis. Are you willing to give him the Iron Throne?"
Among them, the red-robed woman was in the best state. She was still wearing a light dress, revealing her white breasts. Her hands were hidden in her sleeves.
Only her long dress dragged a circle of black wet marks on the icy ground.
Sansa opened her mouth and was about to defend Jon, but she suddenly glanced at the Dragon Queen and immediately shut her mouth.
"I once swore loyalty to Stannis, but after my brother-in-law Aegon was captured, I also swore that if Stannis could abide by the traditions of the Seven Kingdoms, which is to treat Aegon as a noble and release him after receiving the ransom, I would keep my promise.
But if he breaks his promise to me and Sansa, I will also give up my loyalty to him. "
Jon looked around at the nobles and knights and said in a low voice, "The oath between a monarch and his vassal is mutual. The vassal will never give up to the monarch without a bottom line. This is a law that everyone in the Westeros knows.
For example, in the Red Wedding, Waldfrey was only guilty of violating the rights of the guests, but not betraying the monarch. "
"When he helped you defend Winterfell, you didn't say that," the red-robed woman sneered.
"I helped him lead thousands of the most elite Northerners down to the valley and then helped him take down the King's Landing. I defended the territory for eight years.
I haven't returned to Winterfell for eight years, "Jon said agitatedly.
The Demon Dragon Tyrion also said, "If not for your outstanding performance in the Battle of Winterfell, how could the Seven Kingdoms tolerate Stannis and the Red God believers occupying the King's Landing for so many years?"
"What do you say?" Melisandre looked at the Dragon Queen.
"You're all wrong." Danny sighed and said slowly, "Don't say that Jon Stark is a Duke. Even if he was just a commoner without a title, he would still be king if he killed the King of Strange Ghosts."
"This is different from what you said before." Sansa was agitated and blurted out.
"You want to go back on your word?" the Gnome asked strangely.
"I have the final right to interpret my words," Danny said calmly.
Melisandre frowned.
The others' expressions were also distorted. They looked at Danny and Jon with puzzled eyes. Was it because of their relationship as aunt and nephew?
Danny said solemnly, "The oath between a monarch and his vassal is an oath within the kingdom. It's only limited to the monarch and his vassal. Ending the Long Night saves the entire world.
Therefore, the merit of saving the world is superior to the oath between a monarch and his vassal.
If you have some supernatural knowledge, you can understand 'saving the world' as the second highest level. The holy oath is also one level lower.
Even if Jon is my nephew, even if a beggar kills the King of Strange Ghosts, I will give him a chance to become the King of the Seven Kingdoms. "
Looking at the shocked crowd, her tone softened. "Many years ago, I said that the merits of a Duke's subordinates belong to the Duke.
But when did I say that if a Valiant Warrior kills the King of Strange Ghosts, then the Duke will be king?
If I did, then it goes against my holy oath to end the Long Night as King.
Obviously, I can't make a promise that contradicts myself. "
— The final right of interpretation is still in your hands. You can explain it however you want.
The Duke cursed in his heart.
"Then let Jon be king." A smile appeared on Arya's pale white horse's face.
"I …" Jon was a bit agitated, but when he saw Sansa's pale face, he fell silent.
Danny sighed. "I'll take the Bronze of the North."
The index and middle fingers of her right hand formed a sword and cut through the air. She reached out and took out a huge grayish-white rock with a diameter of eight or nine meters.
"Boom!" A blazing flame suddenly ignited the rock.
The surrounding people did not feel the slightest bit of heat, but the rock liquefied in an instant, and then boiled … In just one or two breaths, the flame and rock disappeared, leaving only a lump of bronze liquid the size of an apple in the Dragon Queen's hand.
She threw the bronze into the air and said, "I'll take the Water of the Three Rivers between the Rivers."
"Crack crack crack —" Three steps away, the ground slowly cracked, scaring the nearby soldiers into running away.
"Boom!" A stream of clear water shot out from the bottomless ground, turning into a rainbow in the sky and landing on Dragon Queen's open right hand.
It was as if there was an invisible black hole in her palm. Dozens of tons of water fell and disappeared without a trace.
In the end, seven grape-sized water droplets appeared on Danny's fingertips.
She threw them into the air again and said, "I'll take the Gold of the West."
Just like before, she cut through the void and took a piece of gold ore from a mine in the West thousands of miles away and refined it into a lump of gold on the spot.
"I'll take the Iron of the Valley."
"I'll take the Pearl of the Iron Islands."
"I'll take the Silver of the Riverbend."
"I'll take the Dragon Crystal of the King's Domain."
"I'll take the Mithril of the Land of Storms … Oh, Mithril is a super magic material that I've developed in recent years."
Only a bowl of Mithril was refined from a huge rock the size of a hill.
"It's lighter than a goose feather, tougher than steel, and has a never-failing luster."
Everyone was confused. This was the first time they'd heard of Mithril and couldn't tell the difference between it and silver. They didn't have any intuition about its characteristics.
"I'll take the Sand of Dorne."
Endless yellow sand fell from the sky and burned in the air. In the end, only a large piece of crystal was left.
"I'll also take seven weapons from the battlefield."
She waved her hand and a knife, spear, sword, hammer, axe, bow, and half of a stone flew in front of her and melted into a pool of liquid.
"Finally, I'll take a piece of the bones of the Frost God and the Strange Ghost King."
It was a long process, but the whole process was very smooth. There was no pause. In just two minutes, the flame with the characteristics of the First Flame burned out eleven lumps of raw materials. Then, the eleven raw materials were "stewed in a big pot" …
The flame dissipated and a soft golden light as bright as the first rays of dawn illuminated the land. Everyone was mesmerized by the golden light. That expression … was like Gollum seeing the Lord of the Rings.
Then, in an instant, the golden light disappeared without a trace. Dragon Queen held a slender seven-toothed crown in her hand.
It was a simple platinum ring, a bit like Monkey's Golden Hoop. It was decorated with seven small sword-shaped spikes, and a drop of water was condensed at the tip of each spike.
At this moment, the crown was ordinary and didn't have any special charm. Everyone woke up and felt a contradictory feeling of satisfaction and disappointment.
Danny casually threw the crown to Jon, who caught it subconsciously.
It wasn't heavy at all. In fact, it was ridiculously light.
"My mission is to ensure that the results of the competition are absolutely fair and just. No matter who you swore allegiance to before, I'll give you a chance now. You can legally renounce those vows, wear the crown, and be crowned king."
"As long as you drip a drop of blood on the crown, only you and your descendants can wear this crown. Only the one who wears this crown will be recognized by the Seven Gods and the people of the world as the King of the Seven Kingdoms.
This promise will last for at least ten thousand years. I'm the one who said this, and I'll vouch for you. "
Even Jaime's breathing started to quicken.
Jon's hands holding the crown were trembling. His body, his heart, and his firm belief were also trembling.
"I said that I'll give everyone fairness, but I won't interfere with how you choose. You can wear the crown yourself or give it to someone else. "
"I set the rules, but you're the ones who walk. No matter what choice Jon made, the King of the Seven Kingdoms had to lead the soldiers to carry out the final cleanup of the Strange Ghosts.
This is the responsibility of the King.
Now that the matter of the Seven Kingdoms has been settled, I'm going to summon the sun. Do as you please. "After saying this, Danny disappeared without a trace.
