"What happened to the world?"
A month later, the world was still rumbling and shaking. The Dragon Queen's Song of Fire was still being sung. Humans gradually got used to it and no longer panicked. However, the doubts in their hearts did not lessen at all.
Some people began to search for answers on their own.
The Devil Dragon Tyrion and Jon, who was riding on the Devil Dragon, decided to explore the Four Poles.
The Dark Demon God was almost completely exterminated by the Dragon Queen. Relatively speaking, the Four Poles were safer.
Thus, they left Slave Bay and flew eastward. They flew and flew, crossing the Jade Sea and Yaxia, leaving the endless Daybreak Mountains behind them …
"Where did the Dark World go?" They flew for twenty thousand kilometers but still did not find the Dark World.
"Is this a new continent? There's not a single living person, not even a blade of grass. It's all barren mountains and land. "Jon was puzzled.
"It shouldn't be. After Asia, we'll enter the Dark World in less than five thousand kilometers. I've been there before and was even prepared to look for a few hellhounds to be guard dogs. "The Devil Dragon Tyrion said in disbelief.
"Should we continue flying? I can hold on, but the pterosaur and Devil Dragon need to eat. "Jon asked.
Tyrion thought for a while and said, "Let's fly north. In theory, that's the Trembling Sea. There's food in the sea."
As expected, they flew north for another few thousand kilometers and began to encounter islands of various sizes.
However, the dwarf was not sure if they were still in the Trembling Sea. This was because he had never seen this area on the world map.
"Hey, look, there are traces of people there!" After flying for another month, the dwarf finally saw smoke and a thatched cottage on a small island.
"They're really living people! Let's go and ask them where this is. "It was the first time they had seen intelligent beings in two months. The uncle and nephew were very excited.
"Seven Gods above, this, this, why are they here? Where are we? " Landing on the empty ground in front of the thatched cottage, Tyrion was confused and shocked when he saw the striped people kneeling and kowtowing in front of the Devil Dragon.
"You know them?" Jon asked curiously.
There were about forty to fifty people. Regardless of gender, they were all muscular. Their arms hung down to their knees. Their foreheads were slanted. They had huge square teeth and flat and wide pig noses.
The most distinctive feature was the brown and white stripes on his skin.
Tyrion frowned and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, they should be the natives of Sosros.
More than ten years ago, Dahei used to draw such people on paper with colored pencils. The Dragon Queen called them striped people or wild boar people. "
"Why would a native of Sosros be in the Shivering Sea? And there's the continent of Ursos in the middle — if the entire continent in the south is Ursos. "Jon was shocked.
"I don't know!" Tyrion scratched his head in distress.
"Roar, roar, roar …" Just as the man and the Devil Dragon were conversing, some of the striped priests had already started dancing. Then, they cut off their hands and dug out their hearts. The power of blood sacrifice fell on the Devil Dragon Tyrion and Jon's heads.
"Aiyo, they really are offering us a blood sacrifice! It's exactly the same as what the Dragon Queen said. " The dwarf was both surprised and curious, and he even revealed a gluttonous expression as if he was savoring the aftertaste. "Ugh, so comfortable. It's even more enjoyable than doing Snow Lady.
I'm not a Demigod yet, but I can still sense the power of blood sacrifice. The striped people's faith is amazing! "
"Only Evil Gods can absorb the power of blood sacrifice. What are you doing?!" Jon said anxiously.
"How far do you think a person like me is from an Evil God?" Tyrion did not think much of it. He continued to raise his head and suck in the red mist that fell from the sky.
Jon had no choice but to use his domain to burn away the red mist above his head.
"Ugh, hehehe …" The Devil Dragon Tyrion's body trembled as he let out an inexplicable moan of pleasure.
After a long while, he sighed while savoring the aftertaste. "It's too good. It's too wonderful. That feeling … Jon, trust me. If you don't try it, you've wasted half your life."
"I don't want to be an Evil God." Jon shook his head.
"Tsk. You're just a Shadow Binding Knight. How dare you pretend to be a Saint here." The Devil Dragon shook his head. He was still in a daze from the aftertaste of the climax. He started to speak carelessly. "In this world, other than your aunt who doesn't fit in with the world, which god doesn't accept blood sacrifice?
Even the old god you believe in likes blood sacrifice very much.
Absorbing it once is equivalent to at least three months of cultivation. Your Magic Power will increase — Oh, no — "
"Sister, don't. The Holy Mother is merciful. Don't —" The Devil Dragon dwarf was getting carried away when he suddenly cried out in fear.
"Huhhh …" The Devil Dragon struggled and howled. The nearby Savages cried out in fear and retreated.
"What's wrong?" Jon was shocked. Wet dragon worms jumped out of Tessa's red head. The dragon worms hissed at the sky. It was abnormally terrifying.
"Wuwuwu, no, don't. Mercy, mercy, don't!" The Devil Dragon Tyrion cried.
"What's wrong? Eh, your power … "Jon's expression froze. He said in surprise," Why did it decrease so much? What level are you now? "
"Level 1. I lost the Holy Mother's favor and fell from Level 5 Grand Knight to Level 1 Beginner Knight. I almost broke the Seal of the Holy Knight." After the Devil Dragon Tyrion caught his breath, he said dejectedly.
If the Seal of the Holy Knight was broken, he would not be able to control Tessa anymore. The fusion between man and dragon would naturally disappear.
In the end, Danny still showed mercy and gave him a chance to turn over a new leaf.
Jon's eyes brightened. "Because of the blood sacrifice?"
"I only know that I'm a bastard, an evil god embryo. I can be fearless, but I forgot my identity as a Holy Knight.
In the teachings of the Seven Gods, the blood sacrifice is the taboo of the taboo.
More than ten years of hard work, all gone in one day!
It's such a loss. The price for this indulgence is too high. "The Devil Dragon dwarf stomped his feet and lamented.
"Heh heh heh …" Jon laughed unkindly.
After this, the dwarf's magic power was greatly damaged. After merging, their flying speed was reduced by a third. The progress of the two's exploration of the world was also much slower than before.
After another two months, the world's tremors gradually calmed down. They came to a boundless sea. For a full forty days, they did not see a single island.
Fortunately, the Devil Dragon and Pterosaur could swim and could rest in the sea.
There were few fish in the sea, but there were big fish in the deep sea. For every sea monster, the two met seven or eight.
"Where are we?" The dwarf asked blankly.
Jon raised his head and looked at the blazing sun. He asked doubtfully: "These days, the length of each day is different. Did you notice?"
The dwarf was stunned. After carefully recalling for a moment, he said in shock: "If you didn't say it, I would have missed it. Why is it like this?
Even if the length of winter and summer is different, if you include the night, day and night should be 24 hours.
Yesterday it was only 20 hours. A month ago, was there a day that was only 17 hours?
That's too exaggerated. I didn't notice it. "
"How does the sun move?" Jon frowned.
The dwarf said: "I heard that the sun's home is in the Daybreak Mountains, which is my Deer Cauldron Dukedom.
Back then, when your aunt conferred me the title of Duke, she even smiled and said that the dukedom could be renamed 'Neon', the Country of Sunrise. "
"The sun rises from the Daybreak Mountains, so the land to the east of the Daybreak Mountains is dark and in shadow all year round. This is very reasonable." Jon nodded and said thoughtfully: "The sun will disappear in the Sunset Sea in the evening.
We Westeros are the last place to see the sun. The people of Ursus call it the 'Land of the Sunset'.
But how does the sun return from the Sunset Sea to the Daybreak Mountains? "
"Ah, I know!" The dwarf had a flash of inspiration and laughed: "Where are the deviant ghosts before the long night?"
"The Land of Eternal Winter!" Jon blurted out. Then he said thoughtfully: "The deviant ghosts are afraid of the sun. If they can live in the Land of Eternal Winter, it means that there is no sun there, and the Land of Eternal Winter is only one of the four poles. "
"Yes, the Land of Eternal Winter should not be in the Prime Material World. Perhaps there is light shining there, but the sun itself will not enter the Land of Eternal Winter.
So, the Daybreak Mountains are the boundary between the material world and the dark world. In the Sunset Sea in the west, there should also be a boundary, "the dwarf said.
"But this can't explain our current situation!" Jon said helplessly.
"No, it can," the dwarf said slowly: "The sun set off from the Daybreak Mountains, walked for a day, and then returned to its original point. What should its trajectory be like?"
"A circle …"
"We have been heading east, in the opposite direction from where the sun rises. Could it be that we are also walking in a circle? “
"This …" Jon frowned. "This doesn't make sense. Is the world a ball? We live on a ball? That's ridiculous. "
"Hey, there is an island in front. There is even a lighthouse on the island," the dwarf exclaimed.
.....
“what？ This is the Lone Lighthouse? The Lone Lighthouse of the Iron Islands. We are almost back to the Westeros? “
Half an hour later, in the stone courtyard of the ancient castle, the dwarf and Jon exclaimed at the same time.
Actually, when they saw the familiar clothes of the islanders, they already had a vague guess. When they heard the familiar common language from their mouths, their guess became reality.
Even so, when Count Gilbert told them that this was the Farwin Family's Lone Lighthouse, the two of them were still shocked.
"Why are the two dukes here?" the old count asked in confusion.
The dwarf and the dwarf were the stars of the Westeros. Although the Lone Lighthouse was located at the westernmost part of the Westeros, they were not an isolated island.
They would not be absent from any collective activity on the Iron Islands.
In fact, the old count had even led his three sons and more than fifty subjects to participate in the final battle.
The old man alone had killed seven or eight Ghouls.
Of course, as a part of the Westeros, the Lone Lighthouse had also received a lot of food and fruits from Danny and Rize during the long night.
"We set off from Slave Bay and determined the direction according to the shadows under the noon sun. We kept heading east …" the dwarf slowly recounted their experience.
"That's not right. We've explored the Sunset Sea in the west. We swam for a few years without reaching the continent of Ursos, let alone the 40 days of Megalosaurus voyage.
In fact, there's nothing to the west other than the dark gray seawater. "The old count shook his head.
"How many years have you swam?" Tyrion was baffled.
Jon looked around at the Farwin Family members in the hall and smiled. "The Farwin Family has received the blessings of the old gods. We have a few shapeshifters."
Gilbert smiled as well and nodded. "In the past, we wouldn't have dared to admit our identity. Now that the old gods have merged with the seven gods, the Extraordinaires are no longer monsters. "
Tyrion recalled the introduction of the Lone Lighthouse Farwin Family that he had read in his early years. He said with realization, "It's said that the Farwin Family members can transform into sea lions, walruses, and even the overlords of the sea, wolf-spotted whales. So that's how it is …"
"Then, Your Grace, do you know why Lone Lighthouse Fort is called Lone Lighthouse Fort?" Count Gilbert asked.
"That's because the lighthouse on your fort will be lit no matter if it's day or night," the dwarf immediately said.
"Why is there a need to light it even during the day?" Gilbert asked again.
"This …" The dwarf's expression changed. "Do we need a lighthouse to guide the way during the day?"
The old count nodded slowly and sighed. "You might have seen it from the sky. Lone Lighthouse Fort isn't an isolated island. There are a dozen or so small islands nearby. There are mines, mountain streams for sheep herding, and farmers cultivating farmland in the canyons of one of the islands.
We Iron Seed like to plunder, but who else would we plunder here other than our own people?
That's why we have a normal life. We need to travel between the various islands often, and we need a lighthouse to determine our location.
Before the long night, we'll continue to head west and realize that the sky and seawater are gray. The sunlight doesn't seem to reach there.
Sometimes, gray shadows will cover the sea near Lone Lighthouse Fort during the day. We don't know when the gray shadows will come, so we just keep the lighthouse lit. "
"Now that the gray shadows are gone, we'll come from the west. The sun there is the same as here," Jon said.
The old count spread out his hands and said helplessly, "If you have any questions, it's useless to look for me. The sun was summoned by the Dragon Queen, and she's also the one who chanted the Song of Fire. The earth is still shaking now, and it must be because of her. If we find her, all the mysteries will be solved. "
"The Dragon Queen is more powerful than the gods in the legends. She might be recasting the world right now." His eldest son, Gars, sighed.
The dwarf glanced at him and said thoughtfully, "Maybe we can follow the Westeros and fly north. If we can return to West again, it means that the world has become a ball. If we can't, does it mean that our world is an egg roll? “
"This …" Jon hesitated.
"We have nothing to do anyway," the dwarf said with a smile. "Maybe, after completing the exploration, I can write a book about the original appearance of the world."
Gilbert shook his head and said with a complicated expression, "No one will read the book you write. They won't believe it even if they read it."
"Why?" the dwarf asked curiously.
"You're just looking at the big picture. The Dragon Queen has changed this world with her own hands. If it were you, would you believe what you saw or what she said? "
"Uh …"
Even so, Jon, who had nothing to do, still agreed to the dwarf's plan.
The two of them only rested in Lone Light Castle for two days before bidding farewell to Phawin and his family. They followed the Westeros coastline and headed north.
After passing the Great Wall, the two Devil Dragons entered the continent.
He still remembered his sacred oath: never step into the Seven Nations again in his life.
Beyond the Great Wall was also part of the Westeros, but it no longer belonged to the Seven Nations.
"The temperature in the Northern Territory has risen a lot," the dwarf said in surprise.
"Summer is here!" Looking at the familiar landscape below him, the dwarf felt uneasy. He inadvertently recalled the time when he and Yergret were in the hot spring in the cave …
The scenery was still there, and life and death were vast.
"No, Jon, if the world is a ball, where is the equator? Have you noticed it?" the dwarf exclaimed.
"The equator?" Jon was stunned, and said casually, "If there really is an equator, it should be near Dorne, Lisi, Volantis, and Slave Bay."
"Yes, it should be there before the long night, but it's different now. The equator is moving north, oh Seven Gods above!" the dwarf suddenly came to his senses, and said in disbelief.
"Jon, you've suffered a great loss. The equator is now passing through the Northern Territory. Do you understand what this means?"
"What?" Jon still did not quite understand.
"The once desolate and cold Northern Territory will become the rich and warm Slave Bay, or the river bay.
The miserable Bear Island that can't even afford to raise its wife will also become the new Qingting Island.
From now on, there will be no more snow in the Northern Territory. This will be the most fertile land of the Seven Nations! And the Northern Territory is so big, the political situation of the Seven Nations in the future … "
"A casual action by the Dragon Queen can cause a fundamental change in the situation of the kingdom. This is the true power of the gods!" the dwarf exclaimed in shock.
"Are you sure?" Jon asked in surprise.
"Didn't you feel the change in temperature and light?"
"I …"
He was thinking about something.
The dwarf said, "Look at the sun and the shadow under the sun. If the shadow deviates from north to south by a smaller angle, it means that the position is closer to directly below the sun.
We're still not sure if the line directly below the sun will change. Let's assume that it won't change. Then, that line will be the equator.
We're now outside the Great Wall, but look at the shadow. The deviation to the north is not too big. This means that we're not too far away from the equator. "
If this were on Earth, the dwarf's words would definitely be wrong. The direct angle of the sun and the Earth changed with the seasons, so there was a division of the Tropic of Cancer.
But in this world … whether there was a Tropic of Cancer depended on Danny's mood.
If she found it troublesome and was too lazy to tilt the planet, the equator and the latitude of the direct sun would always coincide. Then, the Northern Territory would be in big trouble.
Being directly hit by the sun every day, the air pressure would be low, rain clouds would accumulate, and large-scale rain would fall. If water was lost outside the equator, there might be large-scale desertification.
Extreme environments, whether dry or wet, were not conducive to human survival.
"Will Qingting Island be frozen?" Jon asked curiously.
"It shouldn't be. Look, we flew around the equator for more than four months. How big do you think the world is?
If the world is really a ball, its radius should not be less than fifty thousand kilometers … Eh, that's strange! "The dwarf's expression changed, and he exclaimed again.
"What's wrong now?"
"The gravity is decreasing."
"Gravity?" Jon had never read the physics books of the Slave Bay Academy.
"I'm a Megalosaurus. I can clearly feel the strength of each flap of my wings. Now, with the same speed, it's easier to fly. You can try jumping a few times on the dragon's back, "Devil Dragon Tyrion said.
Jon did not jump on the dragon's back like an idiot. Instead, he closed his eyes and focused on sensing the changes in the rules …
After a long while, he said in shock, "Your senses are not wrong, but why is it like this?"
"It's said that the higher the altitude, the lower the gravity …" Looking at the ocean in the distance that was at the same level as the continent, the dwarf could not continue.
The ice and snow beyond the Great Wall had started to melt. Ten thousand miles away from the Great Wall, theoretically, they would enter the Land of Eternal Winter. However, this place had also melted into mottled black soil.
"The gravity has decreased by half compared to when we were in the Seven Kingdoms, and it's decreasing faster and faster." Another half a month had passed. They were at least fifty thousand kilometers away from Winterfell.
This place was covered in thick ice and snow. Sunlight could shine in, but it was very thin. Moreover, the days were getting shorter.
"We seem to be approaching the North Pole," the dwarf said.
"Awoo — —"
Suddenly, there were waves of wolf howls in front of them.
There seemed to be more than one wolf.
Accompanying the howls were crimson clouds that covered the sky and earth.
Amidst the murderous aura, there were countless terrifying specters of dead souls.
"There's a peerless demon in front!" Jon was shocked.
The Devil Dragon he was sitting on started to hesitate. Devil Dragon Tyrion almost fell down under the pressure of the fearful aura.
"This is the Gates of Hell, where the Underworld resides. Mortals, stop!" The low and majestic voice was like thunder. It reverberated throughout the world, causing the snow on the mountain peak to tumble down.
"Gates of Hell?" Jon was puzzled.
"F * ck, I recognize it. Wang Cai, is that you?" The dwarf was furious. "You dog, you don't even recognize the Second Elder?"
The terrifying spirit that was pressing down on them like Mount Tai paused. The crimson clouds and resentful spirits that dyed the sky and earth were swept away.
"Hehe, you recognized me so quickly … My two masters, it's not convenient for me to go out. Please come over and talk," the demon said in a fawning manner.
The pressure disappeared, and the two Devil Dragons flew forward again. After flying for three to four hours and almost six hundred kilometers, they finally saw a continuous mountain range. The highest peak was almost four thousand meters high.
The mountain peak was covered in snow, but the lush weirwood covered the entire mountain peak. The red palm leaves and white bone-like tree trunks were even more dreamy than the Ten Miles Peach Garden. Amidst the beauty, there was a hint of eeriness and strangeness.
At the foot of the mountain, there was a circular hole that was a hundred meters high. It looked like the mouth of the Grim Reaper. Eerie and cold black fog escaped from the hole.
A three-headed dog that was three stories tall stood outside the hole.
"Eris, Tywin, You Lun, greet the two masters!" The three heads reported their names one by one. Then, they bowed on the ground while shaking their heads.
“shit！ You really used that name! "The dwarf and Jon's faces were distorted.
"Hehe, thank you for the name, Second Elder. Only these three peerless villains can guard the Gates of Hell.
Of course, 'Wang Cai' is a gift from the Lord. I can't abandon it. One is used at home, and the other is used by outsiders outside. "Wangcai laughed.
"The Gates of Hell is the entrance to the Seven Layers of Hell?" Jon looked into the hole. It was so dark that he couldn't even see his fingers. He couldn't see anything.
"That's right. After defeating the Strange Ghost King, I came here." Tywin nodded. You Lun asked curiously, "Why did the two masters come to the Gates of Hell?"
"Dong, dong, dong." The Devil Dragon Tyrion used his own head to knock Wang Cai's three heads and scolded, "You know that the masters are here, and you still dare to act mysterious and scare the masters?"
"I've been here for two years, and all I've seen are the dead. Now that I've finally met a living person, and an acquaintance at that, I can't help but want to act cool." Tywin in the middle laughed.
"Dong, dong, dong." The Devil Dragon Dwarf knocked him three more times and said angrily, "You dare to act cool in front of the masters? You've got guts!"
"Forget it, you have to look at the master before you hit the dog." Jon glanced at the red-headed Tessa, "Besides, you can't beat him now, so he has the right to act cool in front of you."
"It's okay, it's okay. If the master is angry, he can hit me however he wants."
Wang Cai was very self-aware and understood that a family dog was not as good as a family member.
The Devil Dragon Dwarf looked at it with his vertical pupils for a while and said doubtfully, "How did you become so strong? You can create a large blood cloud from a few hundred kilometers away, and the pressure is even more terrifying.
Just two years ago, when you were fighting the Strange Ghost King, you were frozen by him. "
Wang Cai raised his paw and drew a large circle in the air, "This area is all in the range of hell, and I've been conferred the title of Guardian of the Gates of Hell by the master, so I can borrow some of the power of hell.
You guys coming here is equivalent to entering my divine kingdom. In order to act cool, I've lost hundreds of divine spell slots! "
"F * ck!" The dwarf knocked him three more times.
Jon frowned and said, "Not only can you borrow the power of hell, you also have the Song of Three Laws."
"Sigh, those were all taken from my ancestor by the master, they were originally incomplete, and I'm not very talented, so I can only use them, but I can't even start on my own.
I can't even leave hell, after leaving, those laws that don't belong to me will slowly disappear. "Wang Cai said helplessly.
"Do you know what the Dragon Queen has been doing recently?" Jon asked.
