Water Dancer walked the path of lightness and speed.
When they sparred with their swords, their bodies were like two dancing shadows. Their swords clashed so frequently that sparks never disappeared.
However, the speed of the sword attack was fast, and the battle ended quickly as well.
A moment ago, the two of them were still fighting like twins. In the next moment, Erya was sent flying three to four meters away and fell hard on the stone floor of the corridor.
Danny Si stood on the spot with her head held high and a smile on her face. Erya supported herself against the wall and got up slowly.
"How did this happen?" Erya's face was pale. She glanced at herself and Danny Si in confusion.
There were three two-inch-long slashes on Danny Si's cloak around her waist. There was an obvious footprint on Erya's chest armor.
Erya touched her left leg that was burning and stinging. There was a wet patch on the back of her thigh.
Erya's leg was cut. Her body suddenly lost coordination. The moment she stopped moving, Danny Si kicked her in the chest.
"Although I'm not as good as her in terms of skills and experience, I'm faster than her. I'm stronger than her. I'm calmer than her. My eyesight is also better than hers.
I slashed her three times in the vitals. Why am I the one who fell? "Erya asked in a hoarse voice.
Danny Si lifted her chin at Danny Si. "Let her see."
Danny Si sheathed her dagger and unbuckled her belt. She took off her thick gray velvet cloak and revealed a fine chain mail that outlined her flat body.
Erya stared at the matte black light chain mail for a long time. Then, realization dawned on her. "Steel?"
"Are you convinced now?" Danny Si asked with a smile.
"I'm not convinced. She's wearing steel chain mail. It's not fair."
"Equipment is also part of one's strength."
Erya Si was silent.
"Do you need me to stop the bleeding?" Danny Si asked while looking at her leg.
"No need. It's just a scratch."
Danny took her to her lounge and asked, "You're still here. Is there something you need from me?"
"Actually, it was Bran who told me to come find you. I am Faceless, and I learned the Death Bible that Faceless stole from the City of Knowledge.
Bran said that the meditation technique has a major flaw and asked me to be your guinea pig to help you study the dark laws of ice and death.
In return, you'll help me find a way to overcome the ghosts of appearances and emotions. "
Erya was very straightforward. After she finished speaking, she stared at the Dragon Queen with her emotionless gray eyes.
"Ah, so you're practicing evil sorcery. No wonder your aura is so cold. I didn't think you were human." Danny exclaimed.
"Why can I solve the flaws in the Death God's Bible?" Danny asked even though she already knew the answer.
Actually, this matter couldn't be hidden from the Three-Eyed Crow. Bran knew that the Dragon Queen gave a magic pot to Jia Kun. Then, Erya told her brother that the Death God's Bible came from a Death God's magic pot that Jia Kun stole from the City of Knowledge.
Didn't this match make sense?
"Bran said that you have mastered many top-notch meditation techniques and are the world's number one Magic God."
Erya was just repeating her brother's words, but the words "number one Magic God" made the Dragon Queen feel disgusted.
He used the same nonsense to fool the red-robed woman, and now he used it to fool her. Did he forget that she was the one who invented the title "Magic God"?
However, Danny Si was really curious about the evolution of the Death God's Scripture and its final effects.
In the end, the Death God's Scripture of ice and death was the meditation technique that truly belonged to her.
In the past, she wasn't even a demigod, and the Death God's Scripture she created was really crude. Now that her realm had increased and she even had the Stranger Godhood, she would surely be able to improve the Death God's Scripture.
If she had Erya as a lab rat, she might really have a chance to comprehend the Song of Death.
Don't forget that the Fire of Creation plus the Ice of Death is the complete Song of Ice and Fire (PS).
"You didn't pay enough." Danny Si shook her head.
Erya Si frowned. "What else do you want?"
"Answer a few questions for me first."
"Go ahead."
"Will you return to Braavos in the future?"
"No, I don't mind killing people, but I don't want to be a killer controlled by others. My purpose in going to the Black White School is the same as the aristocratic children going to the City of Knowledge, purely to learn knowledge and skills. "
Danny Si looked at her deeply and said, "I'm afraid that the Black White School doesn't think of itself as a technical school."
"I used to be worried about the reaction of the people of Braavos, so I hesitated to completely fall out with them. But Bran promised me that no Faceless can get close to Stark from the Westeros.
Personally, I'm not afraid of the Faceless. The only thing I'm afraid of is that they can threaten my brothers and sisters. "
"Don't you have any nostalgia for the people in the Black White School?" Danny Si asked again.
Erya Si was stunned for a moment and said softly, "There are companions who trained with me, and also mentors who taught me. I respect and appreciate them, and I will always remember them, but I don't want to become a tool without a will."
Danny Si nodded. This Erya Si is not completely bad.
"I can help you, but you should know that no one wants to make a losing deal."
"Tell me about it." Erya Si said.
Danny Si's eyes flashed, and she said in a low voice, "If you can become a demigod, you must swear to be a Stranger's subordinate god."
A subordinate god to the Lord God was like the immortals in heaven to the Jade Emperor.
"Can I really become a God of Death?" Erya Si's mouth was wide open in shock.
"I don't know." Danny Si shrugged and said casually, "If you can become a god, it means that I've helped you a lot, and you should repay me. If you can't become a demigod, I'll lose a little, and you won't gain much."
Erya Si calmed down and said slowly, "What's a subordinate god?"
Danny Si's eyes were deep, and she said meaningfully, "It's like a feudal lord and a king, but a subordinate god's contract is more binding than a monarch's vows.
It's not a verbal restriction, but real power to ensure that the vows are fulfilled.
A subordinate god's faith and understanding of the laws are all within the authority of the Lord God. It's like a feudal lord paying taxes to the king, serving in the army, and disclosing all the information about the people and military in the territory. "
"This …" Erya seemed to be moved by this.
If she was a modern person, she would have complained.
But Erya Si was a feudal princess born and raised in this land. Since she did not think that there was anything wrong with a feudal lord swearing loyalty to the king, she also did not think that the Dragon Queen's request was excessive.
Just like what Erya Si said, the more you get, the greater the price you have to pay.
Becoming a demigod was such a great benefit!
"But I don't believe in the Seven Gods." Erya Si frowned.
"Do you believe in the Frost God? Do you know who the Frost God is? "
"I know. Saigon of Karhold City sacrificed his son to the Frost God. But I believe in the Old Gods. "
Danny Si smiled strangely. "Normal believers of the Seven Gods think that there are seven gods in total. They often say things like 'I believe in the Holy Mother, not the Warrior'.
Most people in the North believe in the Old Gods, but they don't know who they believe in.
In this regard, you people are much worse than the people beyond the Great Wall.
The Inami and the Storm God that Tiemin believes in are the Old Gods. The Frost God, the ruler of the Other Ghosts, is still the Old God. Even the Light King was once the Old God.
The Old Gods are a general term. Its meaning is simple, literally — the ancient gods are called the Old Gods. The gods born in the history of human civilization are called the New Gods. It's as simple and straightforward as the old and the young. "
"Then who is the Old God that my father and I believe in?" Erya Si was confused.
She had believed in the Old Gods for so many years, but she did not know who she believed in.
Wasn't this a little too ridiculous?
"Think carefully. Where did your father take you? Who did you pray to?" Danny Si reminded her.
"Under the weirwood. The Heart Tree in Winterfell's Godwood Forest is a weirwood. We prayed to the face on the tree there."
Erya Si felt that she had grasped something, but she still could not see through the last layer of mystery.
"It's the weirwood. All the people in the North and most of the people beyond the Great Wall believe in the main god of the Westeros who is made of weirwood."
"I see. I should have asked the Bran." Erya Si was enlightened.
"But the weirwood is dead." Danny Si immediately revealed a piece of shocking news.
"The Old God that I believe in is dead?" Erya Si was shocked.
"He died eight thousand years ago. Recently, with the fall of the Great Wall, he completely disappeared."
"This …" Erya Si's heart was in a mess. She was scared and lost. "What should we do?"
"The Weirwood God chose a human as his successor," Danny Si said softly.
"Ah, do I have to believe in the Bran in the future?" Erya Si was confused.
"No, your Old God chose me as his successor," Danny Si said calmly.
Erya Si was shocked again. Her jaw dropped.
If the Dragon Queen was really the successor of the Old God, then it would be better to believe in the Seven Gods than to believe in her!
Erya Si was still suspicious. "If you don't believe in the Old God, how did you become his successor?"
"You can ask your brother." Danny Si turned her head and looked at the big crow standing on the balcony. "Danny Si, open the door and let Bran Stark in."
"Bran?" Erya Si stood up and looked around.
"Caw, caw, caw. It's me." When the door connecting the bedroom to the balcony was pushed open, the crow flapped its wings and flew into the living room and landed on the table.
"Erya, you can agree to Danny Si's request. Keep believing in the Old God and become the Stranger's God. It's not a bad ending," Bran Si said directly.
Erya Si's expression changed. Bran Si's words were equivalent to admitting the Dragon Queen Si's words. She was the successor of the Old God!
"Do you and Jon still believe in the Old God? Are all the people in the North going to believe in the Seven Gods from now on? "She asked with a complicated expression.
"No, Danny Si is only the successor of the Mother God's power. The Old God's belief will not change."
"Then who do the Old God believers believe in now?"
"Weirwood, forests, earth, rivers, mountains … They are all part of the Mother God. As long as Westeros exist, the Old God's belief will never disappear," the big crow said firmly.
"It seems more proper to believe in the Seven Gods." Erya Si hesitated.
Big Crow …
Bran Si and Erlu Si knew that the Dragon Queen had usurped the position of the Seven Gods, but they did not dare to tell anyone.
That was because faith came from anticipation. The believers were looking forward to the Mother God's miracles, not the seven pieces of wood that could not respond to them.
If the truth was made public, the Church of the Seven Gods would collapse for a while. Then, when they saw the miracles of the Mother God, most of the Seven Gods' believers would transfer their worship to the Dragon Queen.
By then, the Church of the Seven Gods would lose a group of pure believers who believed in the Church of the Seven Gods, but the Dragon Queen would become the God of the land, the only God in the hearts of the people.
Every word she uttered was an oracle, and every decision she made determined the course of action for millions of people.
That scene was too scary. Danny Si did not want it, and Erlu and Bran Si could not accept it.
