The lead-gray sea was shrouded in a thick layer of ice fog.
"Rumble —" The north wind was blowing violently, and the sea surface was like the cold sheets of the Grim Reaper in hell. The gray and lifeless waves splashed up water that was dozens of meters high.
In their field of vision, the sky and water were gray. The Megalosaurus was like a sharp arrow shot into the storm, traveling alone on the surface of the sea.
"Crack, boom —" The coal-black clouds above their heads suddenly lit up with lightning that was as white as the fingers of a dead man. The sound of thunder rang in their ears, almost making their hair stand on end.
"Crackle!" The fist-sized hailstones were like the gods in the sky that flipped over a chessboard. The hailstones hit Blackie's wings and the armor of Dani and the four knights made clanking sounds as if they were forged iron.
The sky was low, and the sea was high.
They were flying between the sea and the sky, but the space in front of them was narrow and claustrophobic, like a big cat that had jumped into an oven. It was suffocating and oppressive.
This was the Trembling Sea, one of the four great seas.
The Jade Sea in the east had an end. The Summer Sea in the south, the Sunset Sea in the west, and the Trembling Sea in the north were all boundless. At least, no one had ever walked to the end of the sea.
The northernmost city in the Ursos continent was probably Braavos. Flying two thousand kilometers north from Braavos was the Great Wall. Flying two thousand kilometers north from the Great Wall was close to the Tomb of the Green Prophet.
That day, after ending the communication with Kui Xi, Yimont was wiping tears for Jon's tragic death. However, Danny found Tam and asked her a question: How much are you willing to pay for the improvement of your magic power?
Tam asked back: "Didn't you read my notebook?"
Thinking of the "Tam's Notebook" that was ten times scarier than a ghost story, Danny was silent.
Then she immediately decided to take a risk.
The worst result was that she would be like the red dragon in the sheep egg. She would be lodged in the body of Blackie and Little White in the form of a soul, forever in the form of a dragon spirit.
However, she did not think that it would be a happy ending. According to Kui Xi's advice, it would be better to strengthen one's own defenses rather than asking for divine advice.
Danny started to calculate her own assets. There was no hope for 5000 Vajra Brawlers, but in Astapor alone, she had Big Bear, the fat eunuch, and Garth, the three White Knights, and Rakarlo, the Blood Alliance Guard.
Then, she called the four of them, plus a Megalosaurus guard, Cuero, who was used to wearing Westeros knight attire and had a set of steel armor.
The five most loyal guards each wielded a Tile Steel Sword. Rakaro had a Dragonbone Bow strapped to his back, and he was even equipped with twenty Demon Piercing Arrows with Tile Steel Arrowheads.
Big Bear and Garth also had Tile Steel Armor, but the fat eunuch and Rakarlo thought that the armor was too cumbersome, so they only had a set of Tile Steel Chain Vest (only about five kilograms).
Even his underlings had their own Vajra Steel Armor. Naturally, Dragon Queen's "Knight King Equipment Set" had been forged long ago.
Danny had to admit that the image of the Blue Saber was a classic. In the beginning, she also had the idea of cosplaying as the Ahoge King.
But after her rationality returned, she used the experience of a "veteran" of the battlefield to carefully draw out the design of the Saber, only to discover that other than looking good, there was nothing good about it.
The Saber's equipment set: inside was a gorgeous blue ceremonial robe with golden edges, on the outside was a pair of elbow-length iron gloves, a sleeveless plate armor, two pieces of skirt armor, and iron boots.
That was it.
If anyone dared to wear such an armor to battle with her on the battlefield, she swore that she would be able to cut off the opponent's arms in less than three rounds.
Moreover, the ankle-length skirt affected her movements too much. She might even trip over herself on a battlefield littered with corpses.
Just as Danny was about to completely give up on becoming the Knight King, she suddenly thought of something. Why did she get a set of Knight King's blue and white armor to wear?
It was beautiful and cool enough.
Danny had a sudden realization. She didn't get this set of armor to prepare for the battlefield at all.
This meant that the Saber's knight armor completely met her requirements!
As for going to the battlefield or encountering a battle?
It was very simple. She just had to take off her skirt.
The Blue Saber's armor didn't have many flaws on the upper half of her body. She just had to wear the shoulder and arm armor.
In order not to affect the appearance, she could sew a layer of silk cloth of the same style as the ceremonial robe on the shoulder and arm armor.
The complicated and gorgeous skirt armor was changed from a one-piece to a separate assembly type.
Usually, her clothes fluttered in the wind. During battle, the skirt would come off with a button, and she would immediately transform into a valiant and heroic armored female knight.
However, Danny didn't completely imitate Saber. Their situations were different.
First of all, Danny's newly forged "King's Sword" was on her back, not in her hand.
Secondly, in terms of details, Saber's armor was more gothic, while Danny's details were more practical on the battlefield.
The joints of the different parts of the armor didn't have any decorative patterns, metal, or silk mesh. They were all smooth steel plates that wouldn't easily allow the blade to get stuck in the gaps.
Even so, her armor was much more exquisite and gorgeous than the men's armor from before.
It wasn't entirely because Saber's armor looked good. As long as it could show off a woman's soft and beautiful figure, the style didn't matter.
Just like in the anime from the previous world, there were so many female knights, but Saber wasn't the only one who looked good.
It could be said that none of the female knights in the anime were ugly.
The reason was simple. The armor was differentiated between men and women to show off one's figure.
If Chang 'e were to wear a green military coat, anyone who didn't have X-ray vision wouldn't think that she was attractive from the back.
Previously, Danny's gray armor didn't differentiate between men and women. In fact, it was prepared for men.
As for whether he would attract the enemy's attention on the battlefield if he changed into a new set of armor, he didn't care.
About that …
The reason why she became a target had nothing to do with the color of the armor. The main reason was that there was a red spot in a thousand green spots.
It wasn't the fault of a white horse to obstruct its master. It was only because its master didn't have the ability to equip all the knights with the same type of white horse.
Everyone was riding a white horse, so it wouldn't hurt to look at it.
At that time, it would be the people riding ordinary yellow horses who would be more likely to be shot.
Dragon Queen decided that since she had changed into a silver armor and a blue ceremonial robe, her underlings would immediately change into white armor and blue cloak.
She was the Queen. She had the final say.
.....
Danny didn't go to the Great Wall. Instead, she flew north above the Trembling Sea. She flew to the same latitude as the tomb of the Green Prophet (if this world was really a planet). Then, she followed the latitude line and entered the frozen land of eternal winter in the west.
Although the Trembling Sea was a harsh environment, with turbid waves below and endless ice and snow in the sky, the frozen land outside the Great Wall wasn't any safer than the sea.
It was only colder and more dangerous.
At the very least, there were no deviant ghosts in the Trembling Sea.
After flying west for another three hours, they arrived at a hill that looked like a burial mound.
It was more than 500 meters tall and had a radius of seven to eight kilometers. Halfway up the hill was the dividing line. Below was a dense mass of pine trees, iron trees, and sentinel trees. Above was a weirwood with white bone trunks and bloody leaves.
Other than the weirwood, all the trees were bent by the thick snow. Most of them couldn't even be seen as trees.
They were wrapped in the frozen snow from their roots to their crowns. They grew messily on the mountain, like a group of giants huddled together in the cold wind.
The sun in the sky was like a lonely lamp hanging in the corner of a sports field at midnight. A black shadow flew out from the wick of the lamp, growing larger and larger. It was a black dragon.
The fierce wind was like a ghost's howl, bringing up fine powder from the snow-covered ground. It sparkled like glass under the afternoon "light."
"Kalixi, there's a fire there!"
The Megalosaurus circled 300 meters above the top of the mountain. Rakarlo suddenly pointed at a rock wall halfway up the hill and shouted.
With his reminder, Danny, who was in her Dragon Spirit state, also saw the person holding the torch through Blackie's eyes.
On the rock wall halfway up the hill, there was a crevice hidden in the surrounding weirwood trees.
A ranger with a tall stature, close to two meters tall, stood in front of the crevice, shaking a pine oil torch that burned with orange flames.
Yes, that was a ranger.
He wore a hood and a scarf around his neck. His face couldn't be seen clearly, but his black woolen sweater, black leather armor, and black ringed armor were the standard attire of a ranger of the Night Watch.
"Caw caw caw …" Suddenly, a flock of crows flew out from the weirwood trees on the mountain peak that were as lush as the roof of a football field. They looked like dark clouds covering the sky.
Thousands of them.
Black feathers, red eyes.
"Come, come …" They weren't afraid of the Dragon's Might. They surrounded Blackie and cawed.
"If you do this, I won't dare to go down," Danny complained.
Her voice wasn't loud. Even the Blood Brotherhood behind her didn't hear her clearly. But in an instant, the crows stopped cawing.
One of the big crows threw down a cloth bag the size of a pencil box from its claw. When Danny reached out to catch it, all the crows flew back into the weirwood forest. They blinked their scarlet eyes together, staring at the Megalosaurus in the sky.
Inside the cloth bag was a warm brown baked bread and a small bag of coarse salt.
Danny frowned and tore off a piece of bread. She stuck the salt on it and ate it. Then she passed the bread and salt to the knight behind her.
When everyone had eaten a mouthful of the salty bread, and Bevos, who was the last to swallow the rest of the bread, Blackie flapped its wings and landed in the pine forest below the crack in the rock wall.
"Boom — Crack —"
His whole body sank into the snow pit. He broke several frozen tree trunks before he could stabilize himself.
"Queen, Bevos will go down first to help you scout the way."
The fat eunuch, who was wrapped in a thick fur coat, tilted his body, leaving a human-shaped hole in the snow, and disappeared without a trace.
The snow was too deep, taller than him.
"Seven layers of hell. Bevos has never seen such deep snow and such cold weather in his life." At the bottom of the snow pit, the eunuch howled.
"Kalixi, is this considered a long night? We can barely see the sun in the sky. The ground is covered in snow. "Cui Luo shivered.
Danny looked at the lonely yellow halo of the sun in the sky and said uncertainly, "Even the deviant ghosts haven't come out. It should be close."
As soon as her voice fell, Bevos immediately howled, "Ow, no, there's a dead person pulling my foot!"
"Ka — Ka — Ka —"
It was like the scene of a zombie movie. The director shouted "action", and then all the actors playing zombies rushed into the camera.
One, two, three, four … It was impossible to count. The corpses were like weightless carrots, jumping out of the snow one by one.
There were night watchers in black robes, savages in animal skins, incomplete corpses, and even corpses that had been dead for a long time and whose muscles had rotted and frozen — corpses in tombs.
They all had pale skin, pitch-black hands, and eyes that shone like pale blue stars.
The corpses floated on the snow.
It was as if Newton opened the coffin lid and joined the group of corpses. Newton's laws and whatnot were also turned into corpses.
The corpses might not be as good as deviant ghosts, but they did not fall into the snow pit because of their own gravity.
The ice and snow environment was too advantageous for deviant ghosts and corpses.
"Clang, clang, clang." The White Knights and the Blood Guards quickly left the dragon's back, found a place to rest on the tree trunk and protruding rocks, and then pulled out their steel swords.
"Buzz —" Like the sound of a cicada's wings rapidly flapping, two huge milky white wings of light suddenly popped out from the Dragon Queen's back. The feathers were visible, and the texture was almost real. The shape was like the wings of a white dove magnified a hundred times.
Oh, the wings of an angel.
The armored female knight who spread her wings, like deviant ghosts, also left no trace on the snow.
