"Hahaha, Scholar Vilis, guess what the king said to me?"
The ancient Graycold Castle.
Snowflakes the size of goose feathers fell from the sky.
The green leaves of the trees in the courtyard were dotted with clusters of white snow. The ground was soaked in snow, and black mud stuck to the feet.
Rickard laughed as he took off his sword belt and black cloak and handed them to a servant. Then, he walked towards the tall stone door with a young scholar.
Hmm, Danny had "transmigrated" again.
She didn't really transmigrate. Instead, she saw what happened decades ago through the trees. Was she reading the memories of the trees?
Previously, she was in the Red Castle 19 years ago. Now, she was in Winterfell.
She met Rickard again.
The Duke of Winterfell who was 20 years younger.
For some reason, Danny felt that Rickard had the same temperament as his eldest son, Brandon.
It wasn't a slutty blood-stained longsword.
It was more like … Stark's Running Wolf Blood?
She wasn't sure.
"The rumors are correct. Our king …" The young Rickard nodded his furry head and chuckled, "He has a problem here."
"What strange theory did he come up with again? “
The scholar named Vilis didn't correct the lord's rudeness. Instead, he teased the king of the seven kingdoms.
Perhaps because they were both young, the duke and the scholar were very close. They spoke and acted like friends.
"The king wants to build another Great Wall." Rickard laughed loudly.
"He said that if another Great Wall was built 500 kilometers north of the Great Wall, the land between the two Great Walls would be included in the kingdom's territory.
The seven kingdoms would gain at least 300,000 square kilometers of land! "
"Haha, the king has crazy ideas from time to time. We should get used to it.
When he was still the crown prince, he discussed with Duke Tywin to dig a canal to transport the water from the Trident River and the Blackwater River to Dorne.
This way, the desert of Dorne could become fertile land.
Dorne, which is almost unaffected by winter, could continuously grow rice and wheat, enough to feed the entire Westeros. "Scholar Vilis laughed as he shook his head.
He continued, "Last year, when he ascended the throne, he wanted to gather the armies of the seven kingdoms. He planned to occupy the Stone Steps Archipelago and collect taxes from the ships in the narrow sea.
If it wasn't for Duke Tywin's advice, I don't know how things would have turned out! "
Rickard stopped laughing and sighed, "King Eris's goal is very good. He wants to expand the territory of the Seven Kingdoms.
Unfortunately, all his plans were so unrealistic.
Why did the city builder Brandon build the Great Wall at this location?
Wasn't it because it was the narrowest place on the continent, only 500 kilometers wide?
Another 500 kilometers to the north would increase the amount of work by almost ten times.
But now, there wasn't even a tenth of the 'City Builder' Brandon.
There was also the canal that connected the Northern and Southern Continents. Even with the power of the entire nation, it would be difficult to complete it in a hundred years.
Everyone wants to occupy the Stone Steps Archipelago and control the Narrow Sea, but which city-state has succeeded? "
"Every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin to decide whether he is great or mad.
There was no doubt that Eris was the crazy side.
Your Excellency, this is an opportunity for you. "
"What opportunity?" Ricard was puzzled.
"The Northern Region is vast, but it is hardly worthy of your talent and ambition. Stark is the King of the Northern Region, but he can also go further.
You should shift your gaze and cross the Neck Swamp, the Riverlands, the Valleys, and reach the heart of the Westeros, the King's Landing.
Duke Tywin became the Hand of the King at the age of 20. Your talent doesn't lose to his at all. Perhaps … you can surpass him, "Veris said faintly.
What the f * ck! What is this scholar trying to do?
Danny was stunned.
She didn't care about the conversation between the two Northerners at first.
Even if they were laughing at her cheap father's "wonderful ideas," she didn't care.
Even the awe-inspiring Dragon Queen, the Eternal Emperor, couldn't avoid being gossiped about behind her back.
What did the Mad King do to deserve the sincere love of all his subjects?
She had only intended to stay here for a while and slowly familiarize herself with the ability to "travel through time," but now …
She seemed to have eaten a shocking melon!
This wasn't the first time the "honest and simple" Duke of the Northern Region in Danny's heart had heard such words.
There was no doubt or incredulity on his face. Instead, he seemed to be deep in thought and eager to give it a try.
"This is our kingdom. Leave, leave …"
Just as Danny was concentrating and trying to "fast-forward" to see if Rickard had any ambitions, the annoying Three-Eyed Crow came over again.
"Swoosh — Swoosh — Ah!"
Danny's figure disappeared from the Winterfell Duke's study in an instant. She "Teleported" to the bottom of a huge weirwood tree.
Under the cover of the weirwood tree, beside a dark pool, Danny saw Bran.
Bran looked at the middle-aged man who was sitting under the tree and wiping a black greatsword with a sheepskin handkerchief with admiration.
Danny suddenly appeared beside Bran.
In the next moment, the sadness and desire on Bran's face disappeared, replaced by a blank and empty expression.
He only glanced at Danny before she left the tree trunk and roots and returned to the dark cave filled with weirwood roots.
"You shouldn't have done that," Blinden said with a sigh.
"Why?" Danny was dumbfounded for a moment before she recovered from the "jet lag" caused by the space-time disorder. When she returned to the cave, her head was dizzy.
"I want to take away your dragon and your throne. Are you willing to do that? You are violating the Green Prophet's rights, "Blinden said.
"Isn't that too overbearing?" Danny said with dissatisfaction, "The land is there, and the trees are there. Why are you the only ones who can use them?"
"For millions of years, only the Green Prophet who obtained the legacy could travel freely at the edge of the River of Time. Ordinary Green Prophets would get lost easily.
You don't have the ability to travel through time. Previously, you were following … another person's path. It's like he walked on the river and left behind traces. You just happened to …
Forget it, even if I explain, you won't understand. You just need to understand that we are protecting this power and ensuring that it won't be abused by others, "Blinden said with a sigh.
Danny raised her chin and sneered, "Isn't it just where I went? Bran stopped at. Why can't you understand?
Also, I am the queen. Only the power in my hands can be considered not to be abused. You …
Now, I suspect that you are using the ability to travel through time and space in the trees to carry out illegal activities that endanger humans.
You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court.
Now, hand over the tools and let the queen, who represents the country and all humans, keep them! "
Brandon closed his eyes and sighed. "You can go … Leaf, send the guest away."
The squirrel-person Leaf came to Danny without saying a word. He just looked at her with his big cat eyes.
No matter how thick-skinned Danny was, she couldn't take it anymore.
"Let's go," she stood up and said to her five underlings gloomily.
"It's about two in the morning. It's obvious how dark it is outside. If there's an ambush by Deviant Ghosts, Beworth and the queen will be in trouble, "Beworth mumbled loudly as he lit a torch.
"There are only Corpse Ghosts nearby. Deviant Ghosts won't come," Leaf said.
"Are you sure? I think it's safer to wait for daytime, "Da Xiong said doubtfully.
"This is a shelter! Just like how Deviant Ghosts can't pass through the Great Wall, they can't come here, "the squirrel-person emphasized.
"Ado …"
Their movements were loud, and the sound of armor clashing and talking was not soft. The squirrel-person, Li De, and Ado in the corner were all woken up.
"Do you want to leave together?" At the entrance of Blinden's cave, Danny stopped and looked at the Li De siblings.
"No … no, we will leave with Bran."
Hearing that, the swamp girl's face lit up with anticipation. But after looking at her silent brother, she hesitated and refused.
"You're dead if you don't leave," Danny said to Jiujian.
"This is my fate."
Jiujian's voice was softer than a goose feather, and weaker than the summer snow.
"If you leave with me, you can immediately change your fate," Danny said.
"When I was six years old, I knew that helping Bran become the Green Prophet was my mission. I don't intend to change this fate," Jiujian said.
"Six years old?" Danny frowned.
"When I was six years old, I got Gray Water Fever (a disease of the neck). When I was about to die, the Three-Eyed Crow saved me and gave me the Green Vision as a gift," Jiujian said with a sigh.
Danny seemed to be deep in thought.
It was highly possible that Jiujian was a great gift that the Three-Eyed Crow had prepared for Bran.
In the past, the Three-Eyed Crow had given him the Green Spring. Now, Jiujian's Green Dream talent was returned to the new Three-Eyed Crow.
If the Green Prophet was compared to the Dragon King, the Green Prophet was the Dragon Spirit, while the Green Dream was the Dragon Dream. The Green Dream wasn't Danny's Dragon Spirit, but Danny's Prophecy Dream.
The Green Prophet was the same as the Dragon Spirit, and it had a certain prophecy ability. However, it was far inferior to the professional Green Dream and Dragon Dream.
This could be seen from the fact that Danny managed to escape the Great Calamity, while the Great Wizard's clan was exterminated.
Perhaps the simple Green Prophet also had a flaw. Just like what Blinden had said before, ordinary Green Prophets might get lost in communicating with trees.
Perhaps the Three-Eyed Crow was a Green Prophet whose Green Dream was completed.
Jiujian was Bran's sacrifice.
The complete Bran would have the Green Dream's ability, and it would come from Jiujian!
As Danny thought of this, she looked at Jiujian with a sympathetic gaze.
"What about you? Do you want to leave with me? Perhaps we can return to Gray Water Town the day after tomorrow. "
She asked Jiujian's elder sister, Mera.
"I … will stay. Jiujian and Bran need me," the Swamp Girl said.
Danny rolled her eyes and cast a sidelong glance at Bran, who was piloting the Gundam. She said, "Your brother is dead.
Bran will ascend to the weirwood throne, just like Blinden. He will fuse with the tree and stay here forever. "
"Ah Duo, Ah Duo!" Fear flashed in Ah Duo's eyes.
At this moment, Bran had not completely turned into the Three-Eyed Crow, and he still had human emotions, although they were slowly fading away.
Mera cast a sorrowful glance at her younger brother. Her tone was firm, and she said without hesitation, "I will always be by Bran's side."
"Ah Duo!" Ah Duo's large eyes were misty. He was so touched that he almost cried.
Danny cast a strange look at the two of them for a while before she asked, "Do you like Bran?"
"I … I don't …" Mera's thin and sallow face turned red.
"I don't know," the Swamp Girl said with her head lowered.
"Wow! When Beworth comes back in a few years, he might be able to see a few little Three-Eyed Crows! "Beworth clapped his hands and laughed loudly.
The big bear cast a glance at the Sworn Brothers, shook his head, and said, "Bran broke his spine, just like you. He can't make it, so how can he have children?"
"Sigh, he's in a worse state than Beworth. At least Beworth can still become a White Knight," the fat eunuch said as he looked at the Swamp Girl pitifully.
"Actually, it's not like there's no way," Danny said.
"That's right, he can still pray to the Holy Mother." Beworth was enlightened.
"You want the Three-Eyed Crow to pray to the Seven Gods?" The big bear's expression was distorted.
"You used to believe in the old gods, but didn't you change your belief to the Seven Gods now?" Beworth said disapprovingly.
"The Three-Eyed Crow is the archbishop of the old gods!" Garth bared his teeth and said.
Danny looked at Ah Duo and said meaningfully, "If your body can't make it, you can ask someone who can!"
