Melisandre stared at Danny and said, "It's very likely that you're the wife of the Child of Prophecy!"
"Melisandre, you're the third Shadow Binder I've met. You're the most powerful sorceress, but you're also the most … conceited prophet."
Danny had a strange expression. She wanted to say "the stupidest", but the Shadow Binder was too powerful. What if she attacked her …
Through her red eyes, Dani observed the foundation of her meditation technique. Dani had a feeling that she was shrouded in a world where flames were the sky and shadows were the ground.
Her wizard power was ten times, no, a hundred times stronger than her own.
This was terrifying. This red-robed priestess was most likely a demigod.
However, the demigods of this world were a little weak. Danny did not back down. She mocked, "Do you think a true dragon would marry a grasshopper from the ground?"
"King Stannis is a true dragon, not a grasshopper!" Melisandre frowned.
"He's a grasshopper after autumn. He won't be able to live for long. Actually, from the moment he killed Renly, he had no chance of ascending to the Iron Throne.
In the Kingdom of Knights, no Westeros would accept a kinslayer as their king.
Look at the history of the Seven Kingdoms. Targaryen was the rightful ruler. His family believed in the Seven Gods, and he had several Megalosaurus as his military force. However, the marriage between a brother and a sister caused a rebellion that lasted for more than a decade.
Even when Meg rode Bellerion and burned the Great Sept of King's Landing, the Church and the knights did not submit.
Stannis is not popular, and he converted to the Light King. He doesn't have a dragon, and his kinslaying is ten times worse than the marriage between a brother and a sister. Who in the Seven Kingdoms would support him as king? "
The red-robed priestess hesitated and said, "Stannis is not a kinslayer."
"Ah, the news has spread. Lady Catelyn saw Stannis's shadow slit Renly's throat open with her own eyes …" Dani waved her hand and said with certainty, "That kind of magical scene is very mysterious to most Westerosi, but I have a few Shadowbinder friends who have seen them use blood witchcraft to control their shadows. I'm not the only one who knows. Many people in Ursos have guessed the truth. "
"There is only one truth, and everyone will see it …" The red-robed woman said calmly, "The night is coming, and only Stannis can save the world."
"Do you believe your own words? In this world, individual strength is limited. No one can save the world alone. " Danny sneered. "If he hadn't ambushed the barbarians' camp this morning, he might have been the savior of the world. But now, he has ruined his last hope."
"Why do you say that?" Melisandre frowned and asked doubtfully.
"Melisandre, you're just a mage, you don't understand politics. Stannis is a good general, but not a true strategist. "
Danny sighed and slowly explained, "You should know about the 'agreement' between me and the savages, right? At least you know that I'm negotiating with the savages, right? "
After hesitating for a moment, the red-robed woman nodded in agreement.
"My guess is that Stannis doesn't want the negotiations to succeed, lest I obtain the power of the barbarians."
This time, the red-robed woman didn't make a sound or move. She didn't admit or deny it.
"But you've forgotten one thing. The barbarians can help me, but you can also take them for your own use. According to the 'Lease Agreement', the barbarians only have two choices. One is to follow me to the other side of the narrow sea and take down a piece of land for farming, and the other is to stay in the north and guard the Great Wall.
The risk of going out to sea is too high. There are many who desire the warmth of the south, but there are very few who can make the decision to leave with me.
If Stannis can join the 'agreement' as the second king, he can get a large number of soldiers to help him conquer the south. "
"You'll allow him to take away your men?" The red-robed woman asked doubtfully.
"This is the difference between Stannis and me." Danny sneered and asked, "If Stannis is the one who has two dragons, what would he do?
First of all, he won't come to the Great Wall again. Taking down the Iron Throne is his primary goal. Second, even if he comes to the Great Wall, he won't negotiate with the barbarians. He'll ride his dragon and burn the camp. Finally, when I bring a thousand men to disrupt his plans, he won't hesitate. He'll ride his dragon and burn the thousand men who don't carry heavy crossbows. "
"You and he are still looking at the problem from the perspective of the warlords of the Seven Kingdoms, but I'm thinking of integrating all the forces at my disposal to solve the Other Ghost crisis. Of course, I have the dragons, so I'm confident.
But even if they know that the Other Ghosts are real, Roose Bolton, Waldfrey, and the others won't put any effort into the Great Wall. If Stannis can bring the barbarians down south and unite the north, I'll be happy to see it happen.
At least, he's always thought of himself as the savior who dispelled the Long Night. If the north falls into his hands, the strength of the Ghost Resistance Alliance will increase. "
Melisandre sighed inwardly. She began to regret and feel a little depressed. She didn't foresee this possibility in the flames.
"It's not too late now. Stannis has defeated the barbarians and captured the King of the Barbarians. As long as Mansred submits to him …"
"It's too late!" Danny interrupted her rudely. "I have the dragons, but I didn't burn the barbarians' camp. Therefore, the rational barbarians will always have some trust in me.
Now that Stannis has messed with me, even my trust has been reduced by more than half. Will the barbarians be convinced by him?
As for Mansred, the King beyond the Great Wall, you don't understand the customs of the barbarians. Their king is elected, similar to the Archon of Volantis, but his power is far less than that of the king. "
The red-robed woman indeed didn't understand the customs of the barbarians, but she didn't value the power of the "mortals". Therefore, she only regretted for a moment, and then returned to the main topic. "Danny Rize, you're a woman, and you'll have to marry.
Marry Stannis and fulfill the ancient prophecy. It's the best choice for you and for this world. "
"He has a wife."
"Queen Selyse is a loyal follower of the Lord of Light. In order to fulfill the savior's prophecy, she will be willing to dissolve her marriage with Stannis."
"Does Stannis know about your plan?" Danny asked calmly.
"I'll persuade him. In order to save the world, he's willing to make any sacrifice," Melisandre said seriously.
"You're doing something more difficult than ending the Long Night," Danny said unhappily.
"Didn't you leave Slave's Bay and come all the way to the Wall to stop the Other Ghosts?"
"First of all, he may not be the Child of the Prophecy. Second, I don't think the reincarnation of Yasuir and Ahai can really save the world. If the world has fallen to the point where it needs to be saved by ghosts from thousands of years ago, then let the Other Ghosts destroy it!
Finally, destroying the Other Ghosts and ending the Long Night is for a better life. But marrying Stannis is more disgusting than dying at the hands of the Other Ghosts. "
These words were so vicious that even Melisandre, who had been calm all this time, had an unpleasant expression.
"You can't change your own fate, Danny Lilith." Two flames rose in the red-robed woman's crimson eyes, as if she could see through a person's soul and fate. "The claws of the EsGod have already targeted you. Your dragons can't help you, your witchcraft can't help you, your Unsullied, and the guards of the Mother Of Dragons can't help you."
"What do you mean?" Danny felt her hair stand on end. A bone-piercing coldness was about to wake her up, and she immediately felt like she was shrouded in fog.
"Reciting the name of the Lord of Light might be of some help to you." The red-robed woman sized her up with a strange gaze, stood up, flicked her sleeves, and elegantly walked out of the hall and left.
Danny had an idea. She went back to her room to pick up her backpack, walked out of the door, rode on Big Black, and called out to Little White. Amidst the cries of the knights, Big Black jumped up and flew toward the south.
The sun moved west, and the sky was gradually dyed red. Shadow Leopard's fur cloak was like a flag, flapping in the wind. After flying for more than an hour, Danny patted Big Black's back, and her body changed from crawling to sitting up straight.
The black dragon was connected to her mind, and it slowly circled above a pine forest. The sunset left a layer of golden powder on Danny's white cheeks.
Taking out a glass candle from her backpack, Danny's witchcraft power surged, and a silver-gray ball of light started to flicker at the top of the candle.
She was activating Qui Xi's soul coordinates.
However, Qui Xi did not respond.
Danny was not discouraged. It was very likely that it was early in the morning on Lightning Island, and the Shadow Binding Knight was most likely sleeping.
After trying for more than ten times, finally, 15 minutes later, Danny's consciousness entered a silver twisted tunnel. In a trance, she arrived at a spacious and dark underground palace.
It was even darker than the underground palace she saw last time, and the space was also much narrower. She could see a low and rough rock ceiling. Three meters away was the wall, and there were ancient and abstract murals carved on it.
Qui Xi sat cross-legged on a soft wooden couch, staring at her with its eyes. "I've looked for you at least 30 times in the past half a month. Why didn't you respond?"
"30 times? I didn't receive any mental waves from you. " Danny was confused. "Half a month … Has it been half a month since we last met?"
Qui Xi's tone changed, and it asked anxiously, "Where are you?"
"Westeros. The last time I contacted you in the old town, your memory has deteriorated. Have you forgotten?" Danny was confused.
"Someone blocked our connection!" Qui Xi said in a gloomy voice.
"Heh, what are we doing now?"
"You're different. The dragon is with you, right? No one can block your witchcraft, but I was blocked by that person, "Qui Xi said seriously." I'm not kidding. I've been trying to contact you for the past few days. "
Danny stopped smiling, and said in surprise, "This … Who blocked you?"
"A great wizard who's ten times, no, a hundred times more powerful than you and me."
"Melisandre!" Danny blurted out, gritting her teeth. "I finally met her face to face. As you expected, her magic power is ten times more powerful than mine. I'm almost sure that she's a demigod.
Just a moment ago, she even threatened me. That's why I left the Great Wall and contacted you a few hundred kilometers away, asking for your help online. "
"Other than the prophecy, I can't help you." After a moment of hesitation, Qui Xi advised, "The best way is to leave the Westeros immediately. If you're far enough away, even the gods can't hurt you."
"Kill him, kill him, kill him, kill them, hahaha, kill them, hahaha, kill them, hahaha, kill them, hahaha, kill them …"
Suddenly, a low, misty voice sounded in the room. Hundreds of people were speaking at the same time. There was the dignity of an old man, the cowardice of a woman, the crispness of a girl, the voice of a man going through puberty, the whispers of a lover, the roars of fury, the curses of hatred …
"Kill him, kill them, peel off their skin, cut off their testicles, cut open their bellies …"
Then, there was the sound of chewing. "Mmm, a heart that's still beating is the best …"
The voice was like a flexible steel wire, twining around Danny's heart and drilling into her soul …
