Jon's title of Northern Ice Duke came from the Dragon Queen.
Not long after Erlu's death, she led the centaurs and the Mother Of Dragons' guards to clear out the otherworldly ghosts on Ursos in a year.
After that, she left the material world and stayed in the astral world for a few years.
Before she left, the Dragon Queen bestowed titles to the nobles and knights under her command according to their contributions in the war.
It was at that time that Jon, who was far away in the King's Landing, received two pieces of news: First, because of his heroic performance in the long night, the Dragon Queen bestowed him the identity of a noble illegitimate son. He could wear the three-headed red dragon emblem, inherit the Sisters of Darkness openly (previously it was borrowed), and build the ancestral hall for Rega and Leanna openly. Second, he was bestowed the title of Northern Ice Duke.
Basically, he had the same identity and status as the dwarf.
It was also after that that he added the three-headed dragon emblem to his armor and cape.
But it was strange that he only had a title and no land.
The dwarf's Prince Zeon was a hereditary title, and his title was just right for his land. He was a very standard prince with real power.
But he didn't think too much about it at the time. He just thought that he was already the Duke of the Northern Territory, and there was no need for him to get a land as a fief.
Now it seemed that he should have thought more about it.
"Northern Ice Duke was prepared for today? You really saw everything? "
"That's right. The world is like a ball of mud in your hands, and the Fog of Fate can't block your vision." The dwarf was shocked, but also relieved.
"The land north of the Great Wall is bigger than the seven countries combined. I will divide it into three countries with thousands of miles of territory. The southern end is connected to the Great Wall, and the land is the most fertile for the seven countries and the free people outside the Great Wall.
The middle section is a bit more barren and difficult to farm, but it can be nomadic.
In the future, I will arrange for a group of centaurs to settle there, and Simba's son will be the Kao.
Their main task is to be the third line of defense and stop any living people from going south.
The centaurs' features are too obvious, and it's hard for outsiders to fool them.
The northernmost territory is the coldest, and all the exiled criminals in the world are sent there to form the second line of defense against otherworldly invasions.
The first line of defense is naturally the Seven Hells. "
"Jon, the Northern Ice King's fief is at the North Pole," Danny said awkwardly.
"What if I didn't give the throne to Sansa back then?" he asked with a wooden expression.
Danny shrugged. "You're still the North Ice King. The lifespan of a demigod is measured in tens of thousands of years. When you're tired of the scheming in the King's Landing, you can go to the North Pole."
"Uh …" Jon didn't expect her to give such an answer. His tense face couldn't help but twitch.
"You should have made it clear. Yergret and little Eide are dead. Mother and child, one corpse, two lives. How tragic, do you know that?" The dwarf spoke his mind.
"I think my reminder is clear enough. Don't tell me you two didn't feel it."
"Use plain language and accurately state the consequences," the dwarf said.
Danny looked at him deeply. "If I ask you to go back to the West immediately and kill Jaime, or else he'll make you miserable in the future, what do you think?"
"That's impossible. Why would Jamu make me so miserable?" The dwarf shook his head repeatedly.
"That's it." Danny smiled coldly. "Let's not talk about distant relatives. If I say it, it'll only hurt both sides. Even if he's willing to listen, what about the future?
Is he going to blame me for not warning him in advance if something doesn't go his way in the future?
I choose my own path, and I have my own life too.
You've seen how busy I am now. I don't have the time or energy to keep an eye on the ever-changing river of fate for you. "
The dwarf opened his mouth and turned to look at the gloomy Jon. He sighed. "It shouldn't be difficult for you to save Yergret from a difficult labor, right?"
"Have you ever thought that there are some things that not only I know, but even Bran knows as well. But why is he like me, only hinting indirectly and never directly and violently intervening?"
"Bran knows as well? Did he recover the Green Prophet's abilities? "Jon was shocked.
Danny's gaze swept across Dan and Erya's faces. She said meaningfully, "I dragged him along the river of fate in the new era for a few decades to see Stark's ending.
Only by letting him understand and with him as a witness in the future, you won't suspect that I'm deliberately targeting someone when things don't go well for you. "
Dan and Erya were terrified. Cold sweat instantly covered their backs.
The Dragon Queen's hint was too obvious.
Stark's ending was so bad that the Dragon Queen wanted to drag Bran along to prove her innocence?
"The Three-Eyed Crow controls the Westeros' World Will. Now, I'm the Divine King …" Danny extended her right hand as if she was holding something.
While the three of them were puzzled, countless powdery golden stars gathered from all directions and formed a jade-like golden book in her palm.
The book was not complete. One-fourth of it was damaged. It was as if a part of a complete book had been torn away horizontally.
However, the fine golden stars only became extremely thin. They did not completely stop gathering.
"This is the manifestation of the World Will. It will only be complete after I complete the project of merging the four poles.
I wasn't lying when I said that I'm the Divine King.
Everything that's happening in the world right now, the secrets of the past, and the fates of all living beings in the future are all in my hands.
I can read it, rewrite it, and edit it again. "
The three of them looked at the golden book with dazed expressions. Countless images seemed to flash past their eyes.
Danny pinched the book with two fingers and tossed it down. Their gazes were still following the book. They only snapped back to their senses when it disappeared.
"I call it the Jade Book of Fate. Whoever controls it will be omniscient and omnipotent … Perhaps, it's still lacking a little.
I know your fates, but I only revere the fates of all living beings. I've only ever watched and never changed them.
I won't touch the Jade Book of Fate. It's always been in the custody of the Holy Mother.
She'll protect the fates you've chosen to ensure the relative fairness of your fates. "
"Holy Mother …" The dwarf frowned.
"I'm not the Holy Mother." Danny gave them a meaningful look. "The Holy Mother has two heads. Heaven is in the front head, and hell is in the back head. She's absolutely fair and just. She's compassionate and ruthless. She abides by the rules the most. "
"Ah!" The dwarf and Erya exclaimed. Jon, on the other hand, had a blank expression.
"That day when you killed the Ghoul King, I announced in front of everyone that a new era led by humans had begun. No God or Devil could wantonly twist the fates of humans anymore.
Others might not understand, but the three of you should have a deep understanding of it.
In such an important occasion, I didn't have to say such empty words.
In the past, my fates, Rega and Leanna's fates, Jon's fates, and even Tyrion and Arya's fates were all planned out by the gods a long time ago.
Of course, you've changed your fates now because I was the first one to do so.
It's hard for you to understand the difficulties involved. "
Danny was really speaking from the bottom of her heart. She could change her fates only because she was a Transmigrator.
But how many Transmigrators in the world knew their fates in advance?
In fact, if she hadn't transmigrated into the Dragon Mother with extraordinary talents … For example, if she had transmigrated into Robert who had just finished the Battle of Ruby Beach, even if she knew her fates, she wouldn't have been able to change them.
Because the most important thing to change one's fate was power.
The process of Jon changing his fate was too easy. The dwarf and Arya were confused and couldn't understand her feelings.
"How did my fate change?" Erya was puzzled.
Dan Ni stared at her deeply, causing her scalp to go numb. "Do you know your own personality?"
Erya glanced at her and said shyly, "Jon said I'm lively and active. I like adventure and freedom."
"With such a personality, can you endure the rules of Braavos forever?"
Erya was stunned. "Won't Braavos be destroyed by the Deviant Ghost Disaster?"
"According to the original fate, it won't." Danny shook her head. "And you, after completing your mission, will be assassinated by Jia Kun. Another Faceless One will wear your face and announce to the public that he is sailing a ship to explore the Sunset Sea.
Since ancient times, countless people have tried to explore the Sunset Sea, but no ship returned safely.
So, you can reasonably disappear. "
"What about Bran?" Jon frowned.
"Bran is not the King of Gods, and he doesn't have the Book of Fate. He can't control anything outside of Westeros."
The three of them were silent.
With a sigh, Danny continued the previous topic. "I said that from now on, humans will be the real protagonists of the new era.
The subtext is a promise to all the living — human's fate will be determined by his own choice. No one will be able to play with other people's fates, including me and the Seven Gods.
And the power that guarantees the fulfillment of this promise is the absolutely fair and just Holy Mother! "
She calmly looked straight into Jon's eyes. "So, now you understand why Bran and I didn't directly tell you the result of your choice?
Why didn't I specially descend to the mortal world to save Yegorit? Why didn't I break the rules for you and resurrect your wife and child? "
"Such a fate is too bitter. I would rather it be distorted by others," Jon said bitterly.
The dwarf shook his head and said seriously, "Jon, you are wrong. When the rules are first broken for an exception, the rules lose most of their meaning.
Today, you feel that your fate is too bitter and want the gods to change it.
Tomorrow, will the gods choose a sweet fate for you according to their own taste? "
Danny glanced at him and said, "You have asked what you need to ask. Is there anything else?"
"What is the material structure of the future world like?" the dwarf asked curiously.
Danny flicked her finger, and a thought that recorded the four-dimensional structure of the world fell between the dwarf's eyebrows.
He held his forehead and groaned for a while before exclaiming, "There really is an equator, and it really passes through Carlin Bay. The Northern Territory has a great advantage."
Danny nodded and said, "Winterfell is going to change its name. Can it be called 'Neverwinter'? From now on, the people of the Northern Territory will rarely encounter heavy snow. "
Jon and Arya were dumbfounded.
The dwarf said with a complicated expression, "The Sosros Continent has crossed the South Pole, and there is a large continent to the north of the Trembling Sea. The future economic and trade center may shift from the Summer Sea to the Trembling Sea. Braavos will definitely become one of the richest port cities."
"Slavers Bay is a bit of a loss," he said again.
"It is not a loss. Slavers Bay is near the Tropic of Capricorn, and the climate is more pleasant. Moreover, all the land under the heavens belongs to the king, and all the people on the shores of the land are the king's subjects. Why should I care if the sun shines in the front yard or the back yard? "
"Uh …"
"The world is so big, even if Simba has ten sons, it won't be enough. Looks like we have to find him a few more lovers," the dwarf muttered.
In the end, it was Arya who asked a question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time.
"After Jeggerit died, I went to find Sansa and asked her why she was so stupid and worried that Jon would steal her Iron Throne.
You had promised that whoever wears the human crown, you would ensure that her dynasty would last for ten thousand years. "
"She told me that you would most likely redefine your promise for Jon. Would you?" She stared into Danny's eyes and asked.
She did not participate in the trial.
After killing King Strange Ghost, she did not return to the Barren Land. That day, she took Nymeria, King Kong, and Wangcai to the Seven Hells of the Land of Eternal Winter.
Later, she chose to exile herself and did not return to the Westeros.
She did not need to go back personally. Her mental projection could instantly go to any corner of the world.
There was a moment when she really wanted to cut off a part of Sansa's … body with her scythe.
When Erya used the scythe to draw on Sansa's body, she was not trying to scare her. She was just hesitating and did not know where to start.
Perhaps she saw the determination in her sister's cold eyes, Sansa was so scared that she cried. She cried and told her the reason why she messed with Jon …
Now, Arya wanted to know. Since the Dragon Queen could see everyone's fate, did she know that her words would cause Jon and Sansa's current situation?
