Danny suddenly realized that the people of Valleglia must have plundered all the secret books of the occult schools, and finally melted them together to create their own super "Divine Secret Book".
Seeing her understanding expression, Kui Xi nodded and sighed, "The great wizards who have obtained the perfect inheritance can ignore the schools and use all the witchcraft in the world. They don't even need to study the meaning of the runes. We Asian wizards have studied it for thousands of years, but we still can't figure out how the people of Valleglia did it. "
"Haha, I'm afraid they can't use all the witchcraft?" Danny thought of something and asked with a smile, "Can they use the Red Priest's witchcraft?"
"No," Kui Xi shook her head and said with a complicated tone, "Mortals can only borrow the spells of the gods, they can't steal them."
Danny looked expectant and said with a smile, "I'm easy to satisfy, I just need to learn your witchcraft."
"Sorry, I can't teach you any witchcraft." Kui Xi flatly refused.
"Why? Knowledge is about communication, I can use my own witchcraft to exchange with you. "
"I can't use your witchcraft."
After a pause, Kui Xi asked, "I'm a wizard who specializes in prophecies, you know that right?"
"So?"
"Do you know what's the taboo in prophecies?"
Without waiting for Danny to answer, Kui Xi said, "The taboo is to interfere with the life of the prophesied person. Prophecies are like a complicated arithmetic problem … By the way, you probably know what a multi-variable arithmetic problem is, right? "
Do you really think I'm illiterate?
"I know," Danny said with a muffled voice.
"Prophecies are like an arithmetic problem, there are countless variables. If I'm by your side, I'll become one of the variables, and a very important one. So, do you understand? "
Danny frowned and said, "But you've advised me many times to do this and not to do that, isn't that interference?"
"I'm just telling you the prophecy, I'm not interfering with your choice. Before I see a clear prophecy next time, I won't appear in front of you again. "
"So, you have another prophecy to tell me? The last prophecy hasn't ended yet, isn't it a bit too frequent? "Danny said with a strange expression.
"You're the Principles of Karma, and I'm only responsible for telling you what I see." Kui Xi said lightly.
"Alright, go ahead."
Kui Xi said in a melodious tone, "The glass candle is lit, the pale mare will come, and the rest will follow. The lion and the griffin, the son of the sun and the dragon of the performer, none of them believed. Remember the Undying Ones and the Chief Steward of Fragrance. "
"Oh, the glass candle was indeed lit by me. I didn't forget the lesson of the immortals and gave Bellerion a good beating. Pale mare, lion, and so on, what do they represent? "
Unsurprisingly, Kui Xi did not answer her question. Instead, she sighed and said, "Danny Lisi, you can learn my positioning technique, but it's best that you don't use it.
After I learned the meditation technique, my former mentor sternly warned me about a wizard's commandment.
Now, I will tell you about it. Witchcraft is a sharp blade without a handle. It can hurt others, but it can also hurt oneself. The true purpose of a wizard is to pursue the truth. Witchcraft is just a 'beautiful scenery' that seduces you into the wrong path. "
In the blink of an eye, the black-robed woman in front of him disappeared, leaving only the sound of his own breathing in the dim red room.
In the blink of an eye, Danny fell back onto the feather bed with a thud. She looked at the ceiling and murmured, "The well-fed do not know the suffering of the starving.
I can also say that the crown is a heavy burden that carries the livelihood of countless people. Glory and power are just 'poisoned wine' that seduces the Queen into the wrong path. "
After resting in Astapor for a few days, the burns on Danny's face and neck had healed. Barristan also turned Tun Ri into an ordinary two-handed sword.
Just as they packed up and were about to set off again, the Whisperer Group and the spy in Qiles sent a messenger crow almost at the same time. The 100 elephants and 5000 elephant soldiers hired by the Alliance on Eleph Island had arrived in Qiles.
The Whisperer Group had more information and was more detailed.
Each elephant was accompanied by a rider, a crossbowman, and a spearman. Some of the 5000 elephant soldiers would stay in Qiles, while the rest would continue westward to Volantis by boat.
Volantis also had elephants, so they only needed experienced elephant soldiers to go there.
The Whisperer Group also revealed that the Alliance had formed a super army of more than 100,000 regular soldiers. They might split into four groups and attack Astapor, Yuankai, and Meereen from four different places at the same time.
This was the suggestion of most of the Alliance's generals. Even if they could not take down the cities, they could at least destroy the Mother Of Dragons' agricultural production.
Yes, the Alliance knew about the "agricultural production" that she had spent a lot of effort to create.
However, "Dragon Slayer" Graz 'dan was resolutely against the plan to split up. He strongly suggested that everyone should combine their forces and completely abandon all "seemingly ingenious but actually useless" tactics. They should stick to the strategy of "forming a strong stronghold and fighting a dumb battle".
Well, after getting the Dragonslayer Saber, Graz 'dan swore that he would "slay dragons in this life", so he got the nickname "Dragon Slayer".
"When it comes to tactics, no one is a match for the sinister and cunning Evil Mother Of Dragons." In the Alliance's meeting, the Dragon Slayer was almost in tears.
His slogan was: Gather the power of the whole world and crush Slaver's Bay.
He did not even suggest an immediate attack. Graz 'dan also thought that the Alliance did not have enough troops. He hoped to pull the Summer Islands, Westeros, Braavos, Rohras, Dothraki, and the Jade Sea into the Alliance.
Although the Westeros did not trade slaves, the Iron Throne was the archenemy of Targaryen.
If the Alliance failed, the Dragon Queen would become the world's first Emperor. At that time, would she let go of the Westeros that originally belonged to her?
If the Dragon Queen was promoted to the "Dragon Empress", would Braavos, the original "Big Brother of the World", be willing to submit to her iron boots?
Therefore, Graz 'dan's "Real World Alliance" was not a delusion of a madman. There was at least a 30% chance that it would become a reality.
Because of the different opinions, the Alliance's final strategy had not been decided.
However, there were two points that everyone agreed on. First, seize the time to hatch the dragon as soon as possible. Second, crowdfund to hire the Faceless and try to kill the culprit.
The Wind Blowing Group sent a long spy report of thousands of words. At the end, it was deliberately written in red and marked in bold: "Be careful of the Faceless!"
This reminded Danny that she still had a Faceless captive.
That night, she came to the Great Pyramid of Astapor.
"Who sent you to kill me?" she asked.
The 10-square-meter cramped stone room was thick with iron panels and oak doors, like the coffin lid of a sarcophagus, suffocating.
There was no skylight inside, and it was dark 24 hours a day. Every morning and evening, except for the jailers who brought in water and black bread from a small compartment under the door, there were no outsiders, not even sounds from the outside.
There was a half-meter-wide low wooden bed in the corner of the room, emitting a choking stench of feces and urine. The edge of the small wooden bucket was stained with brown dirt. Under the dark red light of the torch, the white maggots that freely crawled in and out were very conspicuous.
The prisoner was unkempt, wearing a strange gray linen gown. She hugged her knees and curled up in the corner of the wooden bed. Her head was buried in her knees, and she did not respond to Danny's words.
"Hey, why don't you talk?" Danny endured the stench, stepped forward, and slapped her hard on the back of the head.
The unexpected sting made the Reese woman raise her head. Her pale and thin face was a little dirty, and her only left eye was dim like charcoal ash that had been burned overnight.
"I don't know anything." The assassin said in a hoarse voice.
Danny stepped back a few steps, covered her nose with a silk handkerchief, and said in a muffled voice, "You know the training method of the Faceless, right?"
"Oh, well, I'll tell you, the first point of the Faceless training is to never be afraid of the dark, never be afraid of loneliness. Your small cell is hell for mortals, but for me, it's like home.
The second point of the Faceless training is to never reveal the secrets of the Faceless to anyone.
The third point of the Faceless training is that all mortals have to die. The Faceless must open their hearts and welcome the arrival of death. "
The Reese assassin looked at Danny mockingly and asked, "There is a fourth, fifth … countless training points, do you still want to hear them?"
Danny raised her hands and helplessly said, "I admit defeat, I surrender, you win, you Faceless are awesome."
Dorea's tragic death made Danny hate her to the bone. That day, she threw this Faceless to the "Whip King of Astapor" Hattar.
In addition to the "extraordinary" level of the whip, Hattar's job was actually an interrogator, specializing in helping the slave owners punish disobedient slaves.
When Danny took Meereen, captured Yuan Kai, and returned to Astapor, Hattar came dejectedly to ask for forgiveness, because he did not make the assassin yield even after using all means.
In desperation, Danny had to use the world's number one torture — a small dark room.
After more than three months of confinement, the assassin was just thin and spiritless, but there was no sign of collapse.
Danny was prepared to continue to accompany her, but the news from the wind blowing group made her vigilant.
This Reese assassin was not hired by the Gith people, and Danny had known for a long time.
After taking Meereen, would she interrogate those virtuous and great lords?
The Gith people had just decided to hire an assassin, and the crowdfunded funds were still piled up in the Great Pyramid of Meereen. They were arranging for a fleet to transport it to Braavos, when the Dragon Queen's "50,000 troops" came from the sky and took Meereen.
Queen Danny put the "red flower" of ten million gold coins into her own treasury.
With witnesses and material evidence, Danny was completely convinced that there were other unruly people in the dark who wanted to harm her!
"I've decided to let you go." Danny said to the Faceless.
A glimmer of light flashed through the assassin's dull blue eyes. "Why?"
"You made me feel the terror of the Faceless organization. I'm afraid and want to reconcile with you. Let's pretend that nothing happened. Faceless give up on assassinating me, and I won't trouble you, how about it? "
"Haha, trouble Faceless, with just you?" The female assassin did not hide her ridicule.
"I am the Mother Of Dragons, the Queen of Slave Bay and the Seven Kingdoms." Danny said lightly.
"The Faceless have existed since the time of Valleglia. The Dragon King not only has dragons, but also the entire world."
"Don't think I don't know the history of the Faceless. You have a long history, but at that time you were just slaves of Valleglia."
"You don't know anything!" The assassin sneered.
"I think you don't understand the situation. You're just a messenger. The one negotiating with me is the leader of the Faceless. It's up to him to decide whether to accept my conditions. Moreover, I will state my conditions. Even if you have different opinions, you can still bargain! "
"Alright, I'll help you pass the message."
That night, the Reese assassin changed his clothes and left without eating.
