In the garden on the top floor of the Great Pyramid of Astapor, sunlight drove the thin morning mist to scatter lazily on people's faces.
The bedsheets were stained with morning dew, showing traces of wetness. He untied the rope tied to the outside and spread it out on the red brick floor. Swords, shields, books, crystal balls, and other miscellaneous items scattered all over the floor.
Bam! Barristan untied the curtain bag and carefully placed the huge witchcraft lens on the coffee table beside him.
"Your Majesty, Sir Sammy already has a scimitar. This two-handed sword is a perfect match for me." Jorah Mormont hugged the two-handed sword with a dark purple lizard skin scabbard tightly, wishing that he could immediately hang it on his waist.
"In your dreams!" The old knight snatched the sword back from his hand and sneered. "The scimitar was lent to me by Aggo to protect Your Majesty. Now that I have 'Tun Ri', the scimitar naturally has to be returned to Aggo."
Yes, the sword he found from Orloss was called 'Tun Ri'. Valleglia's words were engraved on the golden sword guard.
The two white knights had never thought of giving Tun Ri to Danny because the sword was too long. The blade was 1.3 meters long, and the hilt was a golden dragon that was 30 centimeters long.
The dragon opened its mouth and spat out the blade. Its upper and lower jaws were used as guard. Its wings and legs were retracted, but it did not affect its grip. Its tail was tied with colorful tassels.
It was a very beautiful sword.
"This sword is too flashy. It will attract unnecessary attention," Jorah advised.
"It's fine. Just find a blacksmith to blacken the color." The old knight said as he took off the arak scimitar from his waist and hung Tun Ri on it.
Together with his tall and burly body, the sword was just the right length.
"That shield …"
"The shield is Gray Worm's." Barristan interrupted him. "You use a two-handed sword. Do you have a third hand to hold a shield?"
If it was a small round shield, it could be hung on the arm, but this curved shield could only be used with a short sword and a spear. In other words, Valleglia had imitated the shield style of the Gujis Army.
"Gray Worm already has a Valleglia steel short sword," Jorah muttered. "Why don't we melt it to make a sword?"
"What books did you look for? 'Gene Overview', 'The Secret of Color', 'An Analysis of the Principle of Optics', 'Geometry', 'The Magic of Numbers' … "
Danny held up a stack of books and said to the old knight in frustration, "These things are useless to me."
"Really? Isn't it better to always compare poems and stories? "Whitebeard said awkwardly.
"Forget it. It's useless to me, but it's a priceless treasure to this world." Danny sighed.
"Where are the magic crystal balls?" The old knight pointed at the red, purple, and colorless crystals and asked, "Are they helpful to you?"
"Crystal of high purity. It's a very good bedside ornament."
Whitebeard blushed and couldn't help but think of the place where he found the crystal ball — Jenny's bedroom.
He thought that it was a tool that the High Priestess used to cultivate her magic every day. After all, in the stories, it was often said that the Witch used a crystal ball to divine the future …
"Sigh, the normal glass candles used by wizards are not known to people. Those third-rate writers who write wizard stories have done a lot of harm!" The old knight sighed.
After a day and a night in the Land of Long Summer, Danny was very tired when she returned to Astapor. She only drank a bowl of mutton stewed with turnip soup, washed up, and went to bed.
The red sun slowly fell into the sea in the west, and the world was red. The red light shone through the skylight onto the wall covered with beige wallpaper, adding a warm and peaceful atmosphere to the quiet stone room.
Suddenly, Danny, who was sleeping soundly, frowned as if she was enduring some uncomfortable pain.
She opened her eyes, and a faint light flashed in her purple eyes. She raised her right wrist in front of her eyes, and a red dot flickered under her fair skin.
"Qui Xi?" Danny's eyes gradually regained their clarity. After a moment of hesitation, she withdrew the wizard power around her wrist. The red dot turned into a long line as thin as hair and hit the wardrobe opposite her.
The red line dimmed and disappeared, and a woman appeared in front of the wardrobe. She was wearing a long hooded robe, and her face under the hood was covered by a red wooden mask.
It was Qui Xi!
"Danny Rize, you've impressed me!"
The hood covered her eyes, but Danny could feel that she was staring at her.
Danny put down her wrist and sighed. "I just found out that I was marked by witchcraft. Come to think of it, you've only touched me once.
The last time we met in the streets of Queers, you laid two fingers, as if by accident, upon my right wrist. (Chap. 48 of the book)
At that time, I felt a strange tingling sensation, and thought it was an illusion … I remember you promised that you would never hurt me? "
"So, it's just a coordinate. Using a glass candle to find someone without a coordinate is like looking for a gold coin in the sea. It's too difficult. Now that you've mastered the mysterious power, you should understand my difficulties. "Qui Xi said lightly.
"To be honest … I don't understand, because I don't know how to use a glass candle, and I don't have one."
Qui Xi …
"I can feel a condensed power in your body. It's powerful, vast, and awe-inspiring," Wizard Ashaya said slowly.
"I just learned a set of basic meditation techniques in Orloss yesterday. I don't know a single spell now!" Danny said honestly.
Danny was furious when she found out that Qui Xi had secretly left a coordinate on her body.
When she obtained the first trace of witchcraft yesterday, she felt that something was wrong with her body. She wasn't sure at first, but now that Qui Xi had changed into a living person right in front of her, she calmed down. Qui Xi's methods were so powerful that if she really wanted to attack her, she would have died long ago.
When she thought of this, she didn't hate Qui Xi as much.
Of course, she still had to be vigilant.
"Orloss?" Qui Xi thought for a moment and said in shock, "You really are bold to enter the Land of Summer."
"Why can't I go?"
Qui Xi took a deep breath and said seriously, "Do you remember the prophecy I told you before?"
If you want to go north, you have to go south. If you want to reach the West, you have to go east …
Danny was stunned. "When you said don't go west, did you mean the Land of Summer west of Slaver's Bay? I thought it was the Westeros in the west. "
"I don't know." Qui Xi's words almost made Danny vomit blood.
As if she could see her displeasure through the blisters on her face, the Asha shaman continued, "I can give you the prophecy, but I can't help you decipher the content of the prophecy.
However, I can be sure of one thing. The Land of Summer west of Slaver's Bay, the Free Cities, and the Westeros are all ominous places for you. "
Danny was deep in thought. She understood Qui Xi's prophecy a little.
Just like the previous sentence, "If you want to go north, you have to go south." If she didn't go south and went to the Dothraki Sea in the north instead, she probably wouldn't end well.
If she went to the Dothraki Sea before taking control of Slaver's Bay, she would probably …
On the other hand, if she really took control of Meereen, Yuankai, and Astapor, she would have the capital to go north and take down the Dothraki Sea.
If she wanted to go north, she had to go south.
As for "If she wanted to go west, she had to go east" …
The original Danny Rize didn't go east. Instead, she went back to the Westeros and died a horrible death.
"What can the east give me?" she asked.
"The truth."
Just like in Queers, Danny got the same answer.
"In other words, going east isn't the goal. It's to get the 'truth'. So I have the capital to go west?" Danny asked.
"This …" Qui Xi was stumped.
This girl doesn't play by the rules!
If the prophecy says you have to go east, then you should go. Why do you keep thinking about cheating?
Qui Xi finally said, "Don't expect me to tell you what the 'truth' is. I don't know either."
"I know."
"Uh …" After holding it in for a while, the prophet asked the person being prophesied, "What is the truth?"
"Isn't it obvious? I have enemies in the Land of Summer. I have enemies in the Free Cities. I have enemies in the Westeros. If I enter these places without my guard up, I will be in danger."
She could understand it this way?
Maybe, maybe, it really could be …
"What kind of enemy did you meet in Orloss?" Qui Xi asked.
"The god of Valleglia, Belleris. He has the same name as the black dragon of Targaryen," Danny said.
"So he's not dead …" Qui Xi muttered.
"That bastard dared to attack me. I'll kill him sooner or later!" Danny said proudly.
She then laughed and said, "It's everyone's responsibility to kill evil gods. How about you give me some secret witchcraft?"
"Belleris is the god of Valleglia. He's your god!"
Danny said such outrageous words so casually. The wizard of Ashaya was shocked.
"Have you forgotten? Targaryen has been a believer of the Seven Gods for 300 years! "
"Uh …"
"I don't have any witchcraft to teach you. Our training systems are different," Qui Xi said.
"Nonsense!" Danny raised her wrist and sneered. "You think I was sleeping? I'm trying to decipher your magic coordinate runes! I've already learned 30% of it. In a few days, I'll be able to leave coordinates for others. "
When she was awake, she would combine with the dragon's soul to become a dragon spirit. When she was asleep, she would enter Blackie's soul realm and become a dragon dream.
As long as Blackie was also resting, Danny would enter the dragon dream state when she was asleep. In that state, she could better observe the nature of her soul.
It seemed that the coordinates were imprinted on her right wrist, but the real location was her wrist in the soul state.
In other words, even if Danny cut off her right hand, Qui Xi would still be able to locate her.
Therefore, the dragon dream state was very useful for studying the mysterious runes.
As Qui Xi said, her training system was different from Danny's. None of the coordinate runes were in Valleglia's "108" alphabet.
However, she found that she did not need to know the meaning of the runes. She could use her witchcraft to draw out the exact same runes with witchcraft effects.
"Are you sure?" Qui Xi did not hide her shock.
"Why would I lie?"
"A perfect inheritance. You've received the full meditation technique of the great wizard Valleglia!" Qui Xi said with certainty.
"You're right." Danny was confused. "What's so special about it?"
"Valleglia ruled the world. Did you know that?"
"Everyone in the world knows."
Qui Xi sighed and said faintly, "If you rule the world, will you plunder the world's gold, silver, knowledge, slaves, and treasures?"
