The next morning, the sun woke up from the eastern horizon and the sky was red.
In the Crimson Mountain Range 1000 kilometers north of the old town, two Megalosaurus, one black and one white, passed through the thin mist surrounding the mountain and landed on the cliff with pine moss growing on it.
The breeze blew the hair on the girl's temples. Danny frowned and came to the old knight's side. She looked at the old red-nosed doctor in his arms and complained, "This kind of villain who violates the guest's rights, why don't you just throw him down and kill him? Why do you have to treat him?"
She originally planned to cross 1700 kilometers in one breath and go to King's Landing for lunch.
"I want to know what the City of Knowledge is thinking." The old knight lowered his head and carefully pulled out an arrow that pierced through Perestan's thigh.
"Ow, ow, ow —" Even though White Knight's actions were skillful and gentle, the red-nosed old man still howled like a pig being slaughtered. "Give me poppy milk!"
"We didn't bring poppy milk." White Knight took out alcohol and cotton from her backpack and began to disinfect the old man. The alcohol contaminated the wound and caused another round of miserable howls.
After more than an hour, Danny had already eaten the "burnt cow hind leg" caught by Dahei. White Knight finally dealt with the five crossbow bolts and four broken bones on the doctor's body.
"You're really lucky. None of the wounds are fatal." Danny sat on a large bluestone and leaned her back against Dahei's warm wings. She was very relaxed.
White Knight used a dagger to slice off a piece of hind leg meat and stuffed it into her mouth. She said vaguely, "He's not lucky. I disguised him as you so I naturally have to protect him and not let the arrows hit his vital parts."
Danny nodded. Spiritual projection was a very important trump card. It was best not to expose it if it could be kept a secret.
White Knight cut a piece of bloody red meat and gave it to the red-nosed old man. She asked, "Doctor, how did you discover Her Majesty's identity?"
The sun climbed to the top of the mountain and the mountain fog had dispersed. Looking around at the edge of the cliff, the green forest and the dark red ridge were clearly visible.
Perestan retracted his numb gaze and sighed. He took the beef and started chewing on it. He said as he swallowed, "After Dr. Wargrave's reminder, several doctors who had seen Queen Leila noticed the abnormality.
Danny Rize was her daughter after all, so there were some similarities between them.
It's just that we didn't think about it before. It's too crazy to travel thousands of miles from Slave Bay to Old Town.
However, there was one suspicious point, and then countless other suspicious points. Her name is' Leila ', and she's from the Royal Territory. Her father is the Great Feudal Lord who lost his territory … "
Then, he turned to Danny and proudly said, "More importantly, we found a strand of your hair. After washing it with medicine, it turned out to be silver hair. “
"Look at how smug you are. You've seen Sir Barristan countless times, but you still can't recognize him." Danny sneered.
"He has changed too much. His temperament and appearance have changed."
White Knight asked seriously, "Why did you attack His Majesty?"
"For the Seven Kingdoms!"
Danny waved her hand and interrupted him, "For the 'Real World'!"
"How, how do you know about the 'Real World'?" Perestan's eyes bulged as he asked in disbelief.
"I already know all the secrets of the City of Knowledge. The Mad Dance of the Blood Dragon and the extinction of the Megalosaurus were all your doing."
"What?" White Knight stood up in horror and said in shock, "Why did the City of Knowledge do that?"
Danny smiled bitterly and told him the purpose of the City of Knowledge and the secret behind the extinction of the Megalosaurus.
White Knight was still in disbelief. He turned to look at the red-nosed old man and asked with a complicated expression, "Is this true?"
"I have nothing to say now. Just kill me!" The old doctor looked miserable and closed his eyes to await his death.
"I saw many Red God temples in the lower city of Old Town." Danny suddenly changed the topic. "Other than Slave Bay, the mainland of Ursos, including the various cities of the Jade Sea, all the sea trade cities have Red God temples and a large number of devout Red God believers.
If the areas under the influence of the Church were marked with color, the entire world would be dyed red.
Even the Westeros … had a king who believed in the Red God, Stannis.
May I ask, Doctor Perestan, how do you plan to deal with Lahlo? "
Seeing that he closed his eyes and did not answer, Danny smiled and continued, "Indeed, the extinction of the Megalosaurus and the extinction of the Magic Tide, even some of the Red God priests were affected. However, Lahlo himself is growing stronger.
Without the human Extraordinary Professionals, only the Gods have the power of miracles in the world. This is more beneficial for the development of believers! "
"Hmph, Lahlo has always been in the Astral World, and the Magic Tide is the link between the Astral World and the real world. Without the dragon, the Magic Tide has been extinguished. No matter how strong the Gods in the Astral World are, they can't interfere with the human world." Perestan opened his eyes and said loudly.
"Well, that makes some sense." Danny nodded and agreed with the old man's words. "The problem is that some areas are very special. They are naturally close to the 'Divine Kingdom' of the Gods in the Astral World.
For example, Asia and beyond the Great Wall. Those areas can even trigger a Magic Tide of a higher energy level. "
"There's an energy level for the Magic Tide?" Perestan doubted.
"To be honest, I wasn't sure before. These two days, I read a lot of secret books in your library. As my knowledge increased, I realized something." Danny smiled bitterly.
"Do you still remember the Red Comet two years ago?" she asked.
"The whole world saw it. No one can forget it."
"That's the appearance of a higher energy level Magic Tide." Danny sighed and looked up at the bright blue sky. She said slowly, "I'll tell you clearly, the hatching of the dragon has nothing to do with the sacrifice. The activation of the stone egg requires two key elements — the fire element and the active soul element.
The process of giving the two elements to the dragon egg is magic itself.
In the Age of Magic without dragons, I can use magic to hatch the egg. This means that the magic level of the hatching dragon is higher than the ordinary magic used by the Extraordinaries. "
"Uh, do you understand?" Looking at the two people's blank faces, Danny looked depressed.
After a while, Perestan nodded and said, "I've realized something."
"What have you realized?" Danny was a little surprised.
"You and the Megalosaurus are the same. Both of you can trigger the Magic Tide. Both of you deserve to be killed."
"I …" Danny gritted her teeth. She wanted to immediately draw her sword and slash this bastard.
"You idiot. Although the Mother Of Dragons is the source of the Magic Tide, other than having a higher energy level, it's essentially no different from the Extraordinaries like the Fire Warlock and the Shadow Binder. Whether the Mother Of Dragons can hatch a dragon or not is determined by the existence of a higher level …"
Seeing that the old man was still wearing an expression that said, "You can continue to quibble, but I can see through the truth", Dani was furious and asked with a smirk, "Do you know when the Other Ghosts appeared?"
"The Deviant Ghost is fake!" The old professor's tone was firm.
"I knew you would say that." Danny's smile became more and more eerie. It made the red-nosed old man feel a chill in his heart.
She drew the Clear Sky (Valleglia's steel sword) from her waist and placed it on the old professor's head, "In the name of the Queen, I judge Perestan. You violated the rights of a guest and murdered the Queen of the Andals, Loynars and the Ancestors. The evidence is conclusive. You are punished … to wear black clothes and guard the borders of the kingdom!"
Perestan was dumbfounded, "I became a Night Watcher?"
"Hahaha, yes. I'll spare your life. Go and guard the Great Wall!"
Thinking of the old man facing the Deviant Ghost Army, Danny could not help but laugh out loud.
"Your Majesty is so merciful." The White Knight seemed to be relieved and praised sincerely.
She took some time to treat Perestan's injuries. When the King's Landing City and the Red Castle near Blackwater Bay came into view, it was already past lunchtime.
As the center of the game of power, the King's Landing should have excited Danny. However, as soon as she passed through the city gate, she was greeted by a strong rancid smell. The smell of feces, rotten garbage and the urine of humans and animals made her want to vomit.
Dahei and Little White put down Danny and Barristan in the forest beside Rosby Road. Just like in the old town, they first found a courier station by the roadside and sold two horses. They then continued to walk in the southwest direction and entered the King's Landing through the steel gate in the east.
The road was wide enough for eight horses to walk side by side. The road was paved with bluestone. However, the street was very dirty. The thick mud and layers of feces made the horses feel like they were walking on a thick carpet.
The layout of the buildings was also poor. The houses on both sides were uneven. Most of the houses were two or three stories high. The front yard and the back yard were connected to the pigsty, the stable and the garbage dump. Danny had the urge to flatten them all.
However, there were a lot of people in the King's Landing. Most of them were poor. They wore gray linen clothes and were barefoot. They did not care about their appearance and were dirty and unkempt. They looked like refugees struggling for their lives.
Even the few nobles who rode horses with swords were mostly wearing dark leather clothes and leather armor. They were not as gorgeous as the Free City's merchants.
At the crossroads, a group of beggars approached Danny. There were more than twenty children who were less than ten years old. They only wore a dirty T-shirt sewn with patches. Half of their dusty buttocks were exposed. Their small arms were as thin as firewood sticks. They held a broken wooden bowl and looked at her with pitiful eyes. They shouted dryly, "Miss Knight, please be kind. I'm hungry …"
Danny was upset. She was about to take out her purse and give them a handful of copper.
"Money is useless. They have someone behind them." The old knight stopped her and led her and the group of children into a small alley. They navigated the maze-like alleys with great familiarity.
The buildings here were more densely packed than the houses on the street. The low yellow mud thatched houses looked like a thousand beggars squeezed into a 100-square-meter garbage dump. There were alleys everywhere, but there seemed to be nowhere to go.
The sewers had long been blocked. Black and smelly waste water flowed freely on the road. However, the alleys were not even paved with bricks. It was a long stretch of mud. The children left footprints with every step they took. From time to time, they would step on a dead cat with a bloated belly. With a squeak, its intestines and white maggots would be squeezed out of its broken belly. The smell was strong.
"My Lady, this is the flea's nest. It's the slum of King's Landing," White Knight explained in a low voice.
"But isn't this too poor?" Danny frowned. "I don't believe that a million gold royals can't build a neatly planned house with red bricks and green tiles!"
"But who would be willing to pay a million gold royals? It's such a large sum of money. "White Knight shook her head and sighed.
"Of course the King will pay. This is his country, his people … Isn't this what kings do?" Danny said matter-of-factly.
The old knight stared at her for a long time. Seeing her serious expression with anger, he could not help but smile. "My Lady, your way of thinking is very different from other kings."
"We're here." The old knight stopped in front of a shop with a dirty canvas shed.
