Agger did not care about the horses. Three days later, they encountered a village affiliated with Quils City. Before Danny and the others had even set off, three hundred camels loaded with supplies had already set off for White Cloud City.
The khalasar traveled for four days straight. Seventy to eighty horses had died, and the team had almost run out of water and milk. Finally, they met the scouts of the camel brigade.
Just like that, the thousand-kilometer relay race was finally completed.
Danny was relieved and began to focus on her own problems.
The Sorceress Mili and the prophecy of the Dragonseeker had made Danny completely understand that other than dragons, this world really did have magic and witchcraft.
She wanted to ask Qui Xi for advice.
As for why it was not a wizard … Well, the merchant Zaro had been badmouthing the wizards to Danny these days.
"The wizards did have a period of prosperity. At that time, even the Dragon King of Valleglia looked at them differently."
When the other two guests were not present, Zaro whispered to Danny, "But today is different. Those blue-lipped fellows are like the weak veterans in the taverns of the docks. They only know how to brag about their past bravery, completely forgetting that strength and skills have long since left them.
They hide in the Hall of Dust, read decaying scrolls, and drink the Water of the Night Shadow until their lips turn blue, hinting that they have terrifying power. But compared to their predecessors, they are just empty shells. "
"What about Qui Xi?" she asked again.
"That woman …" The merchant's eyes flashed with awe. He mumbled, "She comes from Asha of the Shadow Lands. As the saying goes, 'It is better to swallow a poisonous scorpion than to believe in the Shadow Child.' Her power will only make her more dangerous. Khaleesi, don't believe her."
Just like that, Danny also figured out who had prophesied her existence.
It was not the wizard Kaya who had been talking to her about metaphysics, but Qui Xi, who was so low-key that people ignored her existence.
That woman was not simple.
Looking for an opportunity, Danny moved her camel closer to the woman wearing the wooden lacquer mask. She whispered, "Miss Qui Xi, do you know anything about prophecies?"
Since there was a camel to ride, Danny naturally wanted to free her little silver horse.
Not only was Kui Xi wearing a wooden mask, but she was also wearing an Arabian scarf. Her head was turned towards Danny, and her eyes and expression were completely unreadable.
"Danny Lisi, 'Miss' is not popular in Asia Summer," she said in a clear voice.
"Okay, Master Kui Xi." Danny took advantage of the situation. "Can you predict whether I can have another child in the future? Sigh, my poor Legg, he … That witch called Millie cursed me, saying that my womb can no longer give birth to life. "
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, and she sadly turned her head away.
Kui Xi paused and finally said something that made Danny cheer in her heart. "Please let go of the sadness of the past. There are more important things waiting for you in the future. As for children … Sigh, I can't predict such things. "
"Why? You haven't even seen me, and yet you know that I've hatched a dragon. Why are you still in White Cloud City? " Danny did not seem to want others to see her red eyes. She pulled the scarf around her neck and wrapped it around her head a few times.
Kui Xi said, "Prophecy is a kind of elusive magic. When the Bloodsobbing Star appeared, I felt that the power of magic was quickly recovering, like a tide sweeping across the city on the embankment.
So, I opened my eyes and tried to see the world clearly, the most fundamental world. In the end, I saw you training a dragon in the wilderness. So, do you understand now? "
"I don't quite understand." Dani answered honestly.
"Mortals fear and vilify magic and witchcraft. In fact, it's a kind of wisdom that ordinary people are not qualified to learn. In essence, it's as simple as seeing the eastern horizon dyed crimson and knowing that the sun is about to rise. I understand now. "Kui Xi looked at Danny, as if to ask if she understood now.
"Maybe I'm just an ordinary person who's not qualified to learn that kind of wisdom." Danny smiled bitterly. She still did not understand.
"Hahaha, ordinary people can set off a magic tide in the world again?" Kui Xi actually laughed.
Then, she explained for the third time, "I saw the eastern sky dyed red, so I knew that the sun was about to rise. If I can't see it, or if I don't look, then I don't know anything.
The so-called prophecy is just the information that the world shows to me. Then, I go and look, and I know.
As for whether you can have children in the future, the information elements related to it have never appeared. It can't be summed up, and it can't be guessed, so I don't know. "
This time, Danny roughly understood. Prophecies were a bit like big data analysis, but in addition to the information collected by the prophets themselves to summarize, the pan-world consciousness would also send them vague information in the dark.
The dragon brought magic to the world, and its influence was too great. It was like a turbulent tide, so Kui Xi could clearly see the "waves" and then see the initiator of the magic on the waves, Danny and her dragon.
And the matter of children might have a great impact on the future, but at this time, the "waves" had not yet set off.
In front of Kui Xi, the sea was calm.
Unless there was a stronger existence that could see through the sea and see the turbulent undercurrent of the ocean abyss.
For example, the Green Prophet.
"Can you teach me about magic?" Danny looked at Kui Xi expectantly and asked.
"Yes, you can come with me to Asha. There is all the knowledge you need there." Kui Xi quickly replied with a "I was waiting for you to say that" tone.
Danny hesitated and suddenly realized: no one would be good to you for no reason, unless they loved you.
Obviously, Kui Xi would never love her, so who did she love?
Her dragon!
"I am the princess of Dragonstone Island, born of the storm. Reviving the dynasty of House Targaryen is my responsibility and mission. My goal is the West, the Westeros of the West. I can't go in the opposite direction. "
At this moment, she was not fighting alone. Murong Fu was with her.
When Murong Fu said that he wanted to revive the Yan Kingdom, who would not believe him?
Naturally, Kui Xi believed him.
And so, she returned to her previous silent state. It seemed that if Danny did not go to Asha, she would ignore her.
Since Kui Xi's method did not work, Danny had to look for Bei Tai.
"Your Excellency Great Wizard, I heard that magic spells are a special language outside of the language of communication?" This time, she did not hesitate to ask when the others were not around. When everyone was about to rest after dinner, she asked directly.
The Great Wizard Haiya Puli liked to talk to Danny. Other than boasting about the greatness and prosperity of Queers, he would tell her some strange wizard stories that were difficult to distinguish between the truth and the lies.
When he heard Danny's question, he said happily, "Kalixi, you have the courage and wisdom to explore the mysteries of knowledge. That's right, there are many professions in this world that involve mystical powers, such as Shadow Binder, Sorcerer, Alchemist, Moon Singer, Red Monk, Dark Sorcerer, Necromancer, Cloud Realm Sorcerer, Fire Sorcerer, Blood Sorcerer, Interrogator, Judge Paladin, Poison Master, Priestess, Night Walker, Shapeshifter … "
The Great Wizard listed dozens of magic professions in one breath. Danny's jaw dropped. She was dumbfounded.
Was this a world of ice and fire with low magic and low martial arts, or was it a 'Baldur's Gate' that she came to the Faerun Continent?
Haiya took a deep breath and said, "Valleglia, where your ancestors came from, also has its own blood magic system. Basically, every mystical system with real power has its own magic language, which is also known as spells."
"Why don't everyone share a spell system?" Danny was puzzled.
"This …" The male sorcerer's blue lips opened and closed, his expression hesitant. "Perhaps the origins of the various sorcerers are different, just like us male sorcerers and the Valyrian Blood Sorcerers. Two different civilizations and languages."
What he said made no sense at all. Even if two civilizations were separated by a hundred thousand light years, the physics formulas they developed would still be exactly the same. In their mathematics classes, it would still be "1 + 1 = 2". The truth might not be immutable, but there would definitely be a certain degree of commonality. How could it be as casual as he said?
They did not master the truth, and their spells could not touch the essence of the world. It was just a trick.
As if reading Danny's mind, Kui Xi spoke.
"What is this?" She held a piece of wood and asked Danny.
It was a brownish short stick with a polished surface.
She told him the truth about what she had seen.
Kui Xi nodded and pointed her palm at Chora again. "What is this?"
"A man?" Chora asked hesitantly.
Kui Xi nodded again and pointed her palm at the centaur maid Irri for the third time. "What is this?"
"A woman?" Irri glanced at the Shadow Binding Knight in fear and said weakly.
When Kui Xi pointed the wood at Aggo, he said it was a lion.
Finally, Kui Xi opened her palm completely. Under the light of the torch, one could see a small and exquisite wooden sculpture standing in her fair palm. It was a three-headed warrior with short hair, roaring angrily, a long-haired woman with a gentle face, and a lion baring its teeth and roaring.
Now Danny understood. Kui Xi had only shown a part of the sculpture to each of them, so the four of them had made different judgments.
"Do you understand now?" Kui Xi's wooden mask was pointed at Danny, reflecting the flickering red light under the light of the torch.
"Even the greatest magician can't master all the truth." Danny nodded.
Simply put, it was like a blind man touching an elephant in the wizarding world.
Chora suddenly asked, "Sir Wizard, when you said the shapeshifters, did you mean the children of the forest?"
Everyone in the Northern Region grew up with horror stories about shapeshifters. They might not have heard of names like the Moon Singer or the Cloud Realm Wizard, but shapeshifters were as impressive as the "Rat Chef".
"Once?" The wizard shook his head and laughed. "Andals, I know what you're thinking. The children of the forest are legends, and so are the shapeshifters. The world is just as your scholars expected, without a trace of miracles."
"They have disappeared for thousands of years." Chora frowned.
"They never disappeared, but you deliberately isolated them and forgot about them. When I left Asha and went to the west to find the direction of Fate, I bought some magic ingredients from a shapeshifter. His falcon could pluck the red lotus on the mountain peak, "Kui Xi said coldly.
"All the shapeshifters went to Asha?" Chora was surprised and relieved at the same time, as if he was sighing with emotion: It's good that all the monsters are gone.
Danny was not calm. She clearly remembered that the Game of Thrones clearly said that shapeshifters were exclusive to the Old Gods.
How could there be shapeshifters outside the Westeros?
