"Quick, quick, the sound is coming from that direction — Ah! Look, there's a sun in the sky! "
The Upper Rohn River was not an absolutely desolate place. It connected the Andalus Hills in the north and the Great Plains in the south. It also ran through the Straits of Braavos, making it a very important waterway.
Not to mention, because of the Dragon Queen's Hidden Tile Steel, there were a lot of people searching for treasures near Gedohe in the past two days.
Therefore, the sound of the battle between the Megalosaurus and the crab spirit, the flames, and the flood attracted the attention of the mercenaries, sailors, and farmers within a radius of more than ten miles.
However, only the mercenaries who lived their lives with their lives on the line would dare to investigate.
Just as the Dragon Queen made an appointment with the old man in the river, a group of more than ten riders had passed through the birch forest and arrived at the edge of the battle scene.
"Ahhh, it's the Megalosaurus, the black dragon, it's the Dragon Queen!"
The mercenaries saw the figures under the light of the fire coming from the east bank downstream. They were a few hundred meters away from the river. It was the Dragon Queen and the black dragon.
And the fireball that was the size of a small house was held up in the air by a slender arm!
The mercenaries were horrified and pulled the reins in fear, not daring to move forward.
"Gods, there really was a flood here!?" Another mercenary noticed the wet mud under his feet.
"Look, Mystic Dragon above, the old man in the river …" The mercenaries saw a huge turtle shell on the river surface.
"Old man in the river, please wait!"
Danny noticed the mercenaries, but she was in a hurry to keep Old Tortoise and did not have the time to care about them.
"Ah, it really is the old man in the river!"
The mercenaries looked at each other, feeling as if they had entered a mythical world: the Mystic Dragon was talking to the old man in the river!
"Roar!"
The giant turtle stopped diving, turned its head, and roared at the mercenaries on the causeway.
It was like ten thousand cows were mooing at the same time.
Danny understood that the old man in the river was willing to communicate with her, but he did not want to be watched by others.
"Get lost!" Blackie roared at the mercenaries.
At the same time, Danny turned her palm and threw the huge "sun" into the forest below —
"Buzz buzz buzz — — BOOOOM — — Hualala — —"
The mercenaries could only see bright red in front of their eyes. The ground was shaking slightly, and the scorching wind was whistling in their ears. The strong airflow almost blew them off their saddles.
In front of them, the branches and leaves of the birch tree were visibly reduced to ashes in the flames, and the tree trunk also fell in all directions.
Within a radius of a hundred meters, it was a sea of fire. Within a radius of two hundred meters, there was not a single birch tree standing upright. Within a radius of four hundred meters, the scorching heat had also singed the mercenaries' hair.
"Ahhh!"
The mercenaries were terrified. They opened their mouths wide and howled as if they had lost consciousness. Like headless flies, they whipped their horses and scattered in all directions.
There were even mercenaries who broke into the area where Little Green was burning the crabs. They saw ferocious fire-breathing green dragons, crab spirits that were roasted red, and the carcasses of blade loaches that were more than ten meters long and as thick as water buckets …
When ordinary mercenaries suddenly barged into the world of mythological spirits, they were scared out of their wits.
Fortunately, he was still sitting on the saddle. The horse carried him and fled into the depths of the forest.
When everyone was gone, Danny approached the old man in the river. She circled around and approached him from the shore.
Then, she raised a bright white dragon fireball that was not the version of Divine Power. She lowered her altitude and landed on a rock on the riverbank that was more than ten meters above the river.
"Dragon Queen, what do you want to talk about?" The giant turtle hid most of its body in the river. It was also very cautious.
"Old man in the river, why do you think I can't kill the Crab King?" Danny asked.
After a long silence, the giant turtle sighed and said, "Because your dragon is only three years old, and the Crab King has lived for tens of thousands of years."
"This … barely counts as a reason!" Danny said reluctantly.
The giant turtle shook its head and continued, "The Crab King has listened to Mother's Song of Water. It shouldn't be killed by the dragon flames."
"Mother of the Rohn River has mastered the Song of Water?" Danny was surprised.
"So the Queen also knows the Song of Law!" The giant turtle nodded thoughtfully and explained, "The Crab King is Mother's most talented child, and also my elder brother. He inherited at least thirty percent of Mother's Song of Water.
Two thousand years ago, when the people of Valleglia destroyed Gedo, a hundred Megalosaurus burned hundreds of kilometers of the Rohn River and the Little Rohn River, but they could not kill him. So they used two sphinx statues to seal him in Mother's Sub-Divine Realm. "
"So that's what happened." Danny had a strange expression.
"Maybe the seal of Valleglia weakened his Divine Power. Three hundred years ago, when the centaurs removed one of the statues, the seal weakened by at least thirty percent. But he still could not escape until you melted the other sphinx statue."
"You said that you are the child of Mother of the Rohn River. Are you like the Celestial Emperor born from the union of the Night Lion and the Maiden of Light?" Danny asked again.
"No, the creatures of the Rohn River are all Mother's children. We were all born in the river and grew up in the river. If we are not Mother's children, what are we?" The giant turtle said.
"That's true." Danny was enlightened.
After a pause, she asked again, "You said that the Crab King inherited thirty percent of Mother of the Rohn River's Water Song. Has Mother of the Rohn River fallen into a deep slumber?"
"Mother is dead." The giant turtle said calmly.
Danny was shocked. Not only because of the fact that a True God had fallen, but also because of the giant turtle's calmness.
"You … Even true gods can fall?" She asked a stupid question.
Didn't the Door God die too?
"Many True Gods have died. The Maiden of Light, the Night Lion, the Fisher Queen, the Centaur God … A large group of True Gods died in the Long Night.
Who knows how many will die in this Long Night.
When all the True Gods die, perhaps our world will completely fall into the abyss. "The giant turtle sighed.
"Why would a True God die in the Long Night?" Danny was shocked.
"I'm not too sure. I can only tell you Mother's words: The True Gods are rooted in the world, and their mission is to lift the world up.
It seems that the True Gods are responsible for building the world.
But our world has been falling since the beginning of its creation.
The so-called Long Night is just the surface of the world's disaster — the world falls from one energy level to another.
It's like falling from the third floor to the second floor …
And the True Gods are the ones holding up the world. When the world falls, the first to fall to death is naturally the True Gods themselves. "
Danny's expression changed a few times. The information revealed by the old man in the water was too rich and too terrifying.
Now, she vaguely understood the truth of the world.
"How can you talk about the death of Mother Loen River so calmly?" she asked after a while.
"Your mother has been dead for 17 years. Do you still feel sad now? Time can heal all wounds and make people numb to them! Also, the death of a God is different from that of a mortal, "the giant turtle said with a complicated tone.
'You're not human!'
Danny complained in her heart. Her mood was no longer as depressed as before. She nodded in agreement and asked, "What's the truth behind Yasore Ahai ending the Long Night?"
"Dragon Queen, have you been to the Land of Eternal Winter, the Sea of Sunset, the Far East, and Sosros?" the giant turtle asked.
"No, I'm very busy now. When the slaves of the world are liberated and the Long Night is over, I'll ride Dragon One to explore the ends of those four places," Danny said with a smile.
The giant turtle mumbled, "There's no end to those places!"
"What do you mean by no end?" Danny was puzzled.
"In other words, if you fly north for a year, you'll still reach an unknown continent or sea," the giant turtle said.
Danny smiled confidently and said, "You're a turtle. You might not know how fast my Megalosaurus is. From the westernmost Westeros to the easternmost Asia, it'll take at most three days and three nights.
A year?
Hehe, that's enough for me to fly around this world dozens of times. "
Danny's so-called 'around the world' naturally meant traveling around the equator. But to the giant turtle, it sounded like flying around the known world.
So, it didn't refute her and only sighed. "One day, you'll understand when you try it yourself.
I'm only saying this to tell you that the deviant ghosts come from the Land of Eternal Winter in the Far North and have never been completely wiped out.
Yasuo Ahai only killed the deviant ghost king that went south into the known world and drove the remaining deviant ghosts back to the Land of Eternal Winter.
Humans have more than one king, and deviant ghosts have more than one as well. It's just that it's very difficult for deviant ghosts to give birth to a deviant ghost king.
If you have the chance, you can ask the Green Prophet or the Son of the Forest. They're the most familiar with deviant ghosts. It seems that the appearance of deviant ghosts is related to them.
Actually, think about it carefully. If deviant ghosts are all dead, is there a need to build the Great Wall?
However, I can tell you for sure that killing the deviant ghost king won't bring light to the world. We have to summon a new sun. "
"If we kill the deviant ghost king, the dark clouds in the sky will disperse and the sun will be revealed, right?"
This was Danny's scientific understanding of the Long Night.
The Long Night was at most like nuclear winter. The sunlight would be blocked. Why would they need a new sun?
"Your Majesty, if you ask what happened back then, I can tell you. But if you want me to explain the reason, I can't. "Old Tortoise said straightforwardly.
"Okay, continue. How was the Long Night ended?"
"After killing the deviant ghost king, Yasuo Ahai asked Mother to bring the sun back as the savior of mankind. Mother couldn't refuse. This was her responsibility.
But with Mother's power as a god, it was difficult to do so.
So, she gave the song of water to us children and gathered the power of all the secondary gods in the entire Lohne River God System to sing a song. Finally, summer came again. "
"What about Lahlo? What about the other gods? Why didn't they stand up? "Danny was puzzled.
"Just us alone is enough to bring back summer. Why bother another person when one person can finish the job? Besides, the other person also has other tasks! "
"Why was Valleglia destroyed?" Danny changed the question.
"They burned the brilliant Lohne civilization and killed Mother. Don't they deserve retribution?"
The giant tortoise lost its peaceful and calm. Its face was ferocious and its voice was ghostly.
"Of course they deserve retribution. The question is, who gave them retribution?"
"Other than a true god, who else could it be?" The giant tortoise howled.
"Uh …" Danny choked, but the mystery in her heart was solved.
The next moment, a new question arose. Why did a true god destroy Valleglia?
It definitely wasn't to avenge Lohne's mother.
Seeing Old Tortoise so irritable, Danny didn't dare to ask any more questions related to Valleglia.
If this thing dived and ran away, who would answer the many questions in her mind?
For example …
"Where's my Tile Steel?"
"I don't know, but I can go to the bottom of the river to help you look for it."
"Why did the Crab King steal my Tile Steel?" Danny asked curiously.
"That kind of treasure dropped in front of your own door. Whoever doesn't pick it up would be a fool." Old Tortoise complained.
"What can a crab do with Tile Steel? Forge armor with it? "
"Keep it, give it to a human to melt, or trade it with other demigods. In short, Tile Steel is very valuable to demigods," Old Tortoise said.
"That demigod Knife Loach is very weak. Was it also sealed by the statue?" Danny asked expectantly.
Knife Loaches were much weaker than the Immortal Ones like Queers, but they were still demigods!
If there was a loach, why couldn't there be an eel, a clam, a snail, a carp, a black fish …
If there were dozens or hundreds of creatures in the Lohne River, and each race had a demigod …
Danny was almost drooling.
