The red sun completely disappeared into the endless sea of sand. The sky in the west was like a dark purple tapestry. The desert itself turned from gold in the day to red in the evening, then to purple after sunset. Not long after, it would turn into an indigo color.
"You two bastards dare to chase after me?" The knight lightly swung his long sword, leaving a dark red wet mark on the sand. Not far away, two sand horses that had lost their masters ran away, neighing, leaving two gray-robed soldiers lying on the ground, their blood staining the yellow sand.
After killing the last two soldiers, the knight slowed down and rode towards the southwest, away from the Green Blood River.
Just as he crossed a sand dune, the knight stopped his horse and shouted at the two people below, "Who are you?"
"Barristan Selmy." The white knight did not lift his helmet, but he still reported his true identity.
"Barristan the Fearless?" The knight took a few steps forward and asked in surprise, "Sir, I haven't heard from you for a few years, when did you come to Dorne?"
"You …" The white knight carefully looked at the man's appearance and clothes. He had a clean shaven chin, a huge hooked nose, dark purple eyes, and thick silver hair that fell over his shoulders was split in half by a strand of black hair in the center of his forehead. He carried a huge sword on his back, and his purple leather armor had a family emblem in the shape of a black sword.
The old man looked familiar, but he did not recognize the family emblem at all.
"Who are you? I have never seen the family emblem of the Black Sword. "The old man said directly.
"Oh, this is not the family emblem." The young man raised his right hand and slowly pulled out the huge sword on his back. He looked down at his chest and smiled, "I gave myself a nickname, Star of Darkness. This black sword symbol, haha, my personal emblem, you see it? This is it. "
"You want to fight with me?" The white knight said coldly.
"Let's not beat around the bush, I can feel the murderous aura on you." The hooked nose young man licked his lips and said with his eyes shining, "Actually, I am looking forward to it, really."
Dani's mouth twitched as she said, "Don't kill him."
"I understand."
"Haha, old man, you're boasting shamelessly. I'm going uphill, and you're going downhill. I have a horse, and you don't. You're already over sixty years old. Even if you were forty years younger, you would still lose today."
Dark Star sneered and whipped his horse forward … That bastard actually kicked the spur of his horse and pulled it to the side, charging towards Danny who was wearing a veil hat.
With a sigh, Danny looked at the young man with eyes full of pity.
Sure enough, the scene where Barristan hurriedly came to the rescue that the young man expected did not appear at all.
Although he did not know Danny's identity, he could tell that White Knight valued her a lot.
His vision blurred, and the woman in front of him moved at an astonishing speed. In the blink of an eye, she had reached the side of the warhorse, in the opposite direction from where he had swung his sword.
The young man missed his attack. Although he held back seventy percent of his strength, his body still swayed. With this small opening, Barristan took a step forward and grabbed the blade of the greatsword with his hand. He was not worried about the iron gloves being cut. He pulled with all his strength and pulled the young man's body to the side.
The young man had no choice but to let go of the sword. However, the next moment, he felt a pain in his back. With a bang, he was sent flying from the saddle by the scabbard and fell on the sand.
"You …" Turning over, he saw the longsword in White Knight's left hand. The longsword was still in the scabbard. His face was ashen as he muttered, "Impossible, this is impossible."
Kid, you have probably been living a smooth life and have never met a pay-to-win player, right?
Indeed, the iron gloves in the shape of a normal lobster would not be able to snatch the blade of an opponent of equal strength. Before snatching the opponent's weapon, the blade would have already cut through the metal plates protecting the finger.
However, the old knight was wearing Valleglia's Steel Armor!
Not to mention a surprise attack to steal the sword, even if you were to fight ten rounds with him, you would only lose and never win.
"Which family are you from?" the old knight asked.
The young man was not stubborn. If he told the old knight his family background and identity as a nobleman, there was still a chance that he could pay for his life. If he did not say anything, he would probably be killed by the old knight.
"Angelo Dane. I come from the Dane family of High Hidden City," he said.
The old knight was surprised at first, then he looked relieved. "Fortunately, you are not Dane from Starfall City. The name of Sword of Dawn is not tarnished."
These words hurt Dark Star deeply. He roared angrily, "I only lost to you because of a wrong judgment. If we fought again, it would be hard to say who would win. How is that a disgrace to my family name?"
Barristan said coldly, "You killed Princess Myrcella. She was only ten years old. She was still a child. Also, they had always treated you as a companion. You betrayed them and assassinated the person you should have protected. "
"How did you know?" Geno Dane's eyes widened. He stammered, "Did you join that coward Daolang?"
Then he said doubtfully, "That can't be right. You don't even know who I am. You can't be the pursuer sent by Alio Hetta."
"I was nearby. I saw everything," the old knight explained.
"I admit, I really wanted to kill her. Unfortunately, I failed." Geno sighed with an unpleasant expression. He explained, "From the beginning, I did not agree with supporting Myrcella to become king. Daolang was too weak and was unwilling to start a war. But as long as that little lioness was killed, the King's Landing would definitely declare war on Dorne. Only then would Dorne's shame be washed away. "
"Who supported Myrcella's ascension?" Danny asked.
"Araine Martell."
Danny knew her. She was the eldest daughter of Prince Daolang and the heir of Prince Dorne.
"Why did she do that?"
"She started a war to avenge Oberon and Illya. Her goal was roughly the same as mine. But she was too stupid. She tried to push Myrcella and her brother Toman to fight for the throne … I'm going to laugh my head off. "
It seemed like this fellow was the representative of the Dornishmen's radical faction.
"What is the relationship between Dayne of Highreen City and Sword of Dawn?" Danny looked at the old knight.
"The main family and the branch family, the lord and the vassals. Dayne of Starfall City is the main family."
"I see. Just like Stark and Kahl of Karhold City." Danny nodded.
The Long family could also be imitated. These branches had almost never rebelled … Erm, Theon of Baela seemed to be a branch family of the Targaryen Family.
The first Duke of Phoenix's Rest, Theon of Theon Baela, was said to be Aegon's illegitimate brother. In the end … could it be because of the illegitimate 'bastard' bloodline?
Dark Star complained, "My family's history can be traced back ten thousand years, all the way to the legendary Dawn Era. Why is that relative of mine the only Dayne that people remember?"
"Obviously, he is the greatest knight of this era." Barristan said calmly.
"Because he has a great sword." Dark Star said indignantly.
"Perhaps, but more importantly, he has a great heart. No matter what the situation is, that relative of yours will never harm a child. "
"Hehe, you can tell that to Lannister. How did Prince Rhaegar's two children die?" Geno sneered.
Barristan glanced at Danny. After getting her signal, he walked forward and took out Sir Geno's belt, tied his hands, and threw him to the other side of the sand dune.
"Your Majesty, what do we do now?" he asked.
"Let him go. Let's not get involved in the affairs of the Dornishmen."
To be honest, if this Dayne came from Starfall City, Danny might have thought of pulling him into the team for the sake of the 'orphan' of a loyal vassal. However, this fake's strength aside, his temperament was too extreme.
In other words, he was too egotistical and had his own ideas. This was not the way of a vassal.
The old knight nodded and walked back to throw Dark Star's greatsword on the ground. Then, he left without looking back.
"Wait a minute." Geno shouted, but the two ignored him.
He clenched his teeth and shouted, "Danny Rize."
This time, the two who were leaving reacted. Danny suddenly turned around. "What did you say?"
Geno's face lit up. He quickly asked, "You are the Dragon Queen, Danny Rize Targaryen, right?"
Danny did not deny it. Instead, she asked curiously, "How did you guess?"
"Ah, you really are the Dragon Queen!"
"Yes."
"So, the news of the slave rebellion at Slaver's Bay and the dragons in Queers are also true?"
"This news is outdated." Danny squatted beside him and asked, "How did you guess my identity?"
"The fearless Barristan, the glorious Kingsguard, I know him too well …" The hook-nosed man pursed his lips at the armored knight. "Or rather, we all know him. He can lack anything in his life, but he can't live without a king to be loyal to.
When that brat Joffrey took off his white robe, the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms were guessing which king they would see him again. Renly? Stannis? Robb Stark?
There were even people who went to the Iron Islands to ask if Sir Barristan was so hungry that he offered his knees to that idiot Balon. "
"You —" These words were so vicious that the old knight's hand was on the hilt of his sword.
"What about me? Am I wrong?" Dark Star glanced at Danny and asked, "Who are you following now?"
Sigh, the people of the Seven Kingdoms have seen through the old knight.
"Sir Barristan chose justice. He is serving justice and justice, and I am just doing what is right. That's all."
Danny said matter-of-factly. The old knight was so touched that his eyes teared up. However, her words that seemed to be defending the white knight made Dark Star's eyes widen. Can humans really be so shameless?!
The hook-nosed man's mouth twitched a few times before he continued, "When we couldn't find Sir Sammy in all the Westeros, we had two guesses. He was assassinated by Joffrey, or he lost his will to fight and hid in a corner waiting for death.
However, I saw a living knight, an armored knight who was full of energy. He wasn't dead, he wasn't depressed, he was strong and powerful, and his martial arts were superb.
That leaves only one reason — the knight has a new king, a king from the Westeros.
Coincidentally, I heard the legend of the Dragon Queen at the docks. I know that a Targaryen is not only alive, but also hatched a dragon and became the Queen of Astapor.
At first, I didn't believe in the legend of the dragon, but after seeing the two of you … When there is only one possibility left, no matter how unbelievable it seems, it is still the truth. "
At the end, the young man couldn't help but reveal a smug smile.
"Why are you so foolish!" Danny sighed.
"What?" The young man was stunned.
The old knight pulled out Devour Sun and said coldly, "You seem smart, but you are really stupid!"
"Hey, wait!" The hook-nosed man's expression changed as he shouted, "I have something to say."
"It's useless to say anything. Accept your fate!" The old knight raised his longsword and slashed at the young man's neck …
"I want to be a Kingsguard, Sir!" He closed his eyes and used the last of his strength to shout in despair.
The sharp blade stopped three centimeters away from his neck. A gentle breeze blew, and large pieces of silver hair fell to the sand.
"What are you trying to do?" the old knight asked, puzzled.
"Although I have been mocking you and even gave myself the name 'Dark Star' to show my disdain for 'Dawn', I've always admired you.
I've always admired you and Sir Arthur Dayne since I was young. I've always wanted to be a glorious Kingsguard, a great knight like the Sword of Dawn.
The so-called indifference, the so-called belittlement, is just to cover up the unfulfilled desire in my heart. I really want to be a Guardian Knight of the True King. "
Jayne Dane shouted these words almost in a sobbing voice.
At this moment, Danny's vision blurred. She seemed to see a long-haired delinquent kneeling on the ground and crying, "Coach, I want to play basketball!"
