"Deviant ghosts … There's the Great Wall, what's there to be afraid of?" Danny's tone was relaxed.
The old knight turned around and looked at the corridors. Seeing that there was no one around, he closed the wooden door and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, those are deviant ghosts! Do you know the legend of deviant ghosts? In the long night eight thousand years ago, deviant ghosts dragged the human world into the eternal night. The winter lasted for ten years and there was no light at all. Humans were almost wiped out. Fortunately, Yasore Yahai — "
"I know about deviant ghosts and the long night." Danny waved her hand and interrupted him, "But I don't see any tension in the City of Knowledge. They don't seem to be taking this news seriously. Why are you so agitated?"
"Because I've met the gods and seen real magic. The scholar must think that the Night Watchman Commander is lying, but I know that Scholar Yimont would never be wrong. "
"Oh right, Your Majesty, do you know Scholar Yimont? He's your blood … "The old knight counted with his fingers," Your grandfather has to call Scholar Yimont Second Uncle! "
"Second Uncle?" Danny's mouth twitched. She gradually remembered this person. He appeared very rarely in Game of Thrones, so she did not have much of an impression of him. Now, he seemed to be dead?
"Is the old man dead?" she asked.
"No, he's still alive and well."
"Uh, still alive …" Danny touched her chin, deep in thought.
"Your Majesty, the City of Knowledge's attitude towards you is worrying, but you do lack a scholar." The white knight observed her expression and said tentatively, "Why don't we go to the Great Wall to take a look? The barbarians don't have dragon crossbows. Two dragons can easily resolve the danger of the Great Wall and bring the old scholar to Slave Bay. We can also confirm the authenticity of the deviant ghosts. Three birds with one stone! "
"Who's the Night Watchman Commander?"
"Previously, it was Sir Jorah's father, Geo Mormont. A year ago, he led three hundred Night Watchmen north to the Great Wall to investigate the deviant ghosts and barbarians. In the end, they encountered the deviant ghost army at the Fist Peak of the ancestors. The Night Watchmen were almost completely wiped out. In the end …"
The old man's expression became extremely gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "The Night Watchmen violated the guests' rights and killed the barbarian Kast who served them. They even violated the oath of the Night Watchers and murdered their sworn brother, Commander Jero. "
"Morality has declined to such an extent. It makes one's heart burn with worry." The old man was so sad that he almost shed tears.
"What about now?" Danny asked.
"At this time, the commander of the night watchmen is still uncertain. At least the City of Knowledge hasn't received any letters from the Great Wall. Maybe the election is going on, or maybe the messenger crows are on their way here. After all, the old town is thousands of miles away from the Great Wall! "
"Sigh, let's ask for Xue Cheng's opinion tomorrow before we make any plans." Danny sighed and slowly explained Xue Cheng's attitude towards her. "So, you understand? I think it will be very difficult to ascend to the Iron Throne, and the choice of the Maester represents the attitude of most of the Andalite nobles. Even if I go to the Great Wall and discover deviant ghosts, it will be difficult for me to do anything. "
The old knight furrowed his brows, his expression changing back and forth.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that it involved the queen that he was loyal to, the old knight would definitely agree with the City of Knowledge's wish to create a "real" world.
Just as Danny had said, the choice of the City of Learning had a very high base of support from the masses.
The Andalite civilization naturally rejected the power of gods and monsters.
This could also be seen from the doctrine of the Seven Gods that they had developed. The Seven Gods were the seven human virtues, and not the worship of natural phenomena. For example, Lahlo's light and shadow, Inami's sea, and the old gods' wind, wood, mountain, water …
After a long while, he asked with a hoarse voice, "What are your plans, Your Majesty?"
"Continue with the previous plan and find out the details of the City of Knowledge. But we should change the location. The real secret vault is in the Steward's Pavilion, and the basement of the library only stores the original manuscripts of the documents. "
Well, when they were planning to come to the old town, Danny had planned to go to the secret vault of the City of Knowledge to take a look. She had already thought of a way.
Previously, she had asked the old knight to go to the first floor to carry out the plan. However, when the old man saw the news about deviant ghosts, he was so scared that he even forgot about the task of being the coordinates.
"Your Majesty, since the conflict between you and the City of Knowledge is almost irreconcilable, then we have to change our plan …"
Barristan, who was gradually recovering from his shock, immediately remembered the responsibility of the White Knight and considered Danny's safety.
Two hours later, the White Knight carried a stack of books and accompanied Danny to the Steward's Pavilion.
"There are chairs in the library, and it's very quiet. However, that place is too empty and too quiet. It's scary to think of one person occupying an entire floor in the middle of the night," Danny said with a smile.
After the old knight secretly stuffed four Silver Deer into the hands of the watchman in the hall, they were given a forty square meter lounge on the second floor. There was a soft couch, chairs, and a small fireplace.
"If you need tea or food, you can ring the bell outside the door. An apprentice will come and serve you," the watchman, Rocas, said.
"Thank you."
As soon as the White Knight closed the door, Danny disappeared from the room like a phantom.
The next moment, as if she had teleported, she appeared on a narrow spiral staircase. She walked down the narrow wooden staircase and swept her right hand lightly across the wall.
The surroundings were quiet and the space was dark. It was so dark that she could not see her own fingers. After a while, Danny found a torch by the wall.
Unfortunately, the torch was too heavy. She could not lift it at all in her spiritual projection state.
"Snap —" Danny raised her hand and snapped her fingers. "Tsk tsk!"
A few dark-red sparks the size of rice grains flickered on the torch. They were extinguished as soon as they appeared.
Well, it had been almost ten days since she came to the old town. Danny had not stopped practicing the "Fire Manipulation Spell". She had almost completed ninety percent of the runes for the second level, "Gathering Fire Elements".
If her real body was here, she could ignite the torch with just a thought.
Even without the torch, it would not be too difficult for her to create a small fireball the size of an egg. She was much better than Lisbon back then. However, she was only a spiritual projection now. Her level of witchcraft was greatly reduced.
These few sparks were also because her real body was too close to her spiritual projection.
If she was a hundred or even a thousand miles away, her spiritual projection would not be able to use any witchcraft. If her spiritual projection was beside her real body, she could almost do everything that her real body could, except for the side effect of consuming too much witchcraft. It was very similar to the Shadow Clone Technique in Naruto.
This was the reason why Danny had brought the glass candle to the third floor of the library.
At first, she thought that the secret codex of the City of Learning was hidden in the basement of the library, so she asked Barristan to wait on the first floor while she cast a spell on the third floor. Her projection passed through the ground and entered the underground study.
That was because the distance between her real body and her projection was no more than fifty meters. Not only could she use the "inferior version" of witchcraft, but her spiritual projection could also carry a lot of weight.
However, after the old knight learned of the irreconcilable conflict between her and the City of Learning, he immediately advised her not to appear in the City of Learning with her real body. Although most people would not associate you with Queen Leila at first glance, it is undeniable that you are mother and daughter after all. The two of you do have some similarities.
Obviously, he had not forgotten about the incident with Dr. Wargrave in the afternoon. At that time, the old knight's heart was in his throat.
Well, it was the spiritual projection that had followed the old knight to the steward's pavilion. Her real body had quietly returned to the inn. Blackie was hiding in the river beside the inn.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk — Boom!"
After seven or eight consecutive attempts, the whale oil torch was finally ignited by the sparks.
Danny looked around with the help of the torch and saw that she was in a cylindrical cellar that was two hundred square meters wide and as deep as a two-story building.
The arc-shaped bookshelf had four levels, which gradually became shorter from the inside out. In front of each level of bookshelf was a tall movable wooden ladder.
The innermost bookshelf was placed against the wall, almost touching the ceiling. The outermost bookshelf was about four meters high, enclosing a thirty-square-meter reading room. In the center was a round table surrounded by seven or eight high-back chairs.
Danny hugged the torch with both hands, and the burning red flame at the top. "Teng teng teng —"
Visible to the naked eye, the bright red flame swelled and rose, as if a flame retardant had been added.
Then, Danny went from hugging to holding, as if she was holding up a lotus flower from the water. The flame the size of a vegetable bowl broke away from the wooden handle wrapped in oilcloth and burned in the palm of her hand.
Danny looked like she was kneading dough, or like Naruto kneading a rasengan. The illusory flame the size of a vegetable bowl changed from an irregular shape to a round ball. Soon, it shrunk from a bright red the size of a volleyball to a dark red the size of a baseball.
Finally, when she opened her right hand, a small fireball the size of a pigeon's egg floated out of her palm. It floated in front of her forehead as if she was wearing a headlamp.
Then, Danny jumped and flew down from the top of the stairs like a fairy. She was lighter than a feather and more agile than a swallow. She landed right next to the wooden table in the center.
She randomly found an ebony bookshelf. It wasn't full, but almost every row had a few or dozens of books of different thickness.
There were also white painted markings on the side of the bookshelf, corresponding to each row of books: "Witchcraft — Asha — Shadow Binder", "Witchcraft — Asha — Necromancer", "Witchcraft — Asha — Paladin of Judgment" …
In addition to Asha's mystical profession, there were also Extraordinaires from other parts of the world: "Witchcraft — Queers — Male Wizard", "Prophecy — Jugesnai — Moon Singer", "Witchcraft — Barbarian — Necromancer (True)", "Blood Witchcraft — Kohor — Black Goat Priest", "Alchemy — King's Landing — Alchemist Guild", "Witchcraft (?) — Braavos — Faceless "…
The more Danny read, the more shocked she became. She felt as if she had entered the Jade Cave of Langxuan and the Huanshi Water Pavilion.
"Those despicable people in the City of Knowledge, even though they say they don't want it, their bodies are very honest. They practically took all the secret arts that could be collected from all over the world and brought them to their own home."
Continuing to walk forward, Danny saw a pale ebony bookshelf that belonged to Valleglia: "Witchcraft — Valleglia — Fire Mage", "Witchcraft — Valleglia — Fire Warlock", "Prophecy — Valleglia — Dream Walker", "Witchcraft — Valleglia — Witchcraft Lens", "Witchcraft — Valleglia — Undying Stone" …
Just Valleglia alone occupied a large bookshelf. After that, there was a bookshelf dedicated to "Dragons": "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Dragon Egg", "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Young Dragon Taming", "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Dragon Taming", "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Dragon Dung", "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Dragon Slayer Crossbow", "Legendary Creature — Dragon — Body Structure" …
Just the "Dragon Slayer Crossbow" column alone was piled with books that were close to 10 meters thick!
Un, it could only be described as thick. It was packed to the brim. There were so many documents and books that one couldn't count them all.
"F * * k, what were the ancestors of Targaryen doing?!"
The City of Knowledge had almost thoroughly researched Dragons. The books on the "Dragon" bookshelf were more than all the Extraordinary information that she had seen before, other than Valleglia.
