Casterly Rock City was a towering mountain by the sea. It was hollowed out with tunnels and halls.
In fact, it was easy to understand the existence of Casterly Rock City if one had watched The Lord of the Rings. It was the Lonely Mountain of the Song of Ice and Fire world.
The dwarves excavated gold and gems in the Lonely Mountain, and the early ancestors of the Western Region excavated gold and silver mines in Casterly Rock City.
The dwarves built the hollowed out Lonely Mountain into a city within the mountain, and the ancestors built Casterly Rock City, where the gold mines had dried up, into a main castle.
Lonely Mountain was close to a huge freshwater lake, and there was a long lake town on the side. Casterly Rock City was close to the Sunset Sea, and there was a Lannister Port built on the side.
Lonely Mountain was occupied by the Mystic Dragon Smaug, and the owner of Lonely Mountain was homeless. Casterly Rock City was occupied by ghouls, and the owners of Casterly Rock City were almost all dead. Now it was the Mystic Dragon's turn to save the city.
However, the owners of Lonely Mountain and Casterly Rock City were different. The dwarves liked mines, and humans longed for sunlight. Therefore, Lonely Mountain had no windows, only a main road and a secret passage, while Casterly Rock City was full of "skylights".
If the layers of open-air windows were installed with floor-to-ceiling glass, Casterly Rock City could even be disguised as a modern city.
Similar to the pyramid garden, there was also a "stone garden" at the top of Casterly Rock City.
Danny was standing by the jujube tree in the center of the stone garden, and Bran's red-eyed crow perched on a dead branch.
"This is the distribution map of the tunnels and rooms in Casterly Rock City. The blue dots are the armory, the treasury, the granary, the wine cellar, and the furs, and the red dots are the ghouls."
Bran's will connected with Danny's mental power and transmitted a three-dimensional topographic map of Casterly Rock City to her.
"How many ghouls have you found in the Western Region?" Danny asked.
"I can only find a few large-scale ghouls, and there should be ghouls among them." Bran said.
After a pause, he hesitated and said: "We are in big trouble this time. There are no babies among the ghouls, and there are no baby corpses left in the city. Do you understand what this means?"
"Tens of thousands of deviant ghosts?" Danny frowned and asked suspiciously, "Babies can be turned into deviant ghosts without any sacrifice?"
"In the bedtime stories of the old nannies in the Northern Territory, there are often plots like this: Other ghosts ride Ice Spiders to hunt down women, eat babies, and reproduce with humans to give birth to terrifying half-human half-ghost offspring.
Of course, this plot was not entirely true, but it also contained three real secrets.
First of all, Deviant Ghosts did not devour babies. Instead, they turned the babies into deviant ghosts.
Secondly, deviant ghosts could mate with humans and reproduce.
Finally, Deviant Ghosts were also divided into different levels. Deviant Ghosts that reproduced naturally had a relatively independent will.
With the death of the Strange Ghost King, all the Strange Ghosts that had been born from the babies had died as well. However, the 'half-human, half-ghost monsters' that had been born naturally still lived on.
This was also the reason why there was a second long night at the Great Wall in less than a hundred years after the end of the previous long night.
It was the time when the commander of the Night Watchers married the deviant ghost bride.
Last long night, a Strange Ghost King and all the deviant ghost soldiers died. The remaining deviant ghosts retreated to the Land of Eternal Winter and waited for the next World Fall. "
"The body temperature of deviant ghosts is lower than -50 dragon degrees. How can humans ensure that their bodies won't freeze during the process of reproduction?" Danny's mouth twitched.
"It's probably magic," Bran said awkwardly.
When one was indecisive, quantum mechanics could not be explained. Traveling through time and space.
It was very reasonable, very scientific, very magical!
Danny complained in her heart and asked again, "You mean, the deviant ghosts that are reproduced are the strongest, the sacrificed babies are second, and the plundered babies are the weakest after being transformed into deviant ghosts? What about the effect of bloodline on deviant ghosts? "
Bran said, "Generally speaking, the nobler the baby's bloodline, the stronger the magic power it possesses when it is transformed into a deviant ghost through sacrifice.
After a sacrificed baby is transformed into a deviant ghost, the magic runes it possesses are more complete than those of a plundered baby.
The willpower of a non-sacrificed baby will subconsciously resist the transformation. Thus, it is weaker than the deviant ghosts produced by the sacrifice.
The sacrificed person with a noble bloodline can become a noble among the deviant ghosts. The sacrificed person with a normal bloodline can become a knight. The plundered baby is an ordinary soldier.
The deviant ghost that you fought at the Great Wall was probably an Earl among the deviant ghosts and was very powerful.
The deviant ghosts that appeared during the Battle of Winterfell were also of a high level. They were all sacrificed by the barbarians and the ancestors. "
Danny nodded slightly and had a plan in her heart. The deviant ghosts that crossed the Great Wall were equivalent to the Jurchens outside the Great Wall during the end of the Ming Dynasty. The deviant ghosts that crossed the Great Wall were equivalent to the Manchus who started to collect the Han army flag. The deviant ghosts that crossed the Great Wall were equivalent to the Manchus who built the Green Camp on a large scale.
Bran continued, "The deviant ghosts that are transformed have higher limits. Once the transformation is complete, they possess Ice Magic and Necromancy Spells that can summon corpses into Ghouls.
Not only is natural reproduction difficult, but there are also many uncertainties about the offspring.
Just like a human, a newborn can be strong, tall, short, weak, deformed, or even dwarfs.
The deviant ghosts' limits are very low. Many naturally-born deviant ghosts don't have Magic at all. Other than their bodies being colder, their strength is inferior to that of an ordinary human. "
"What about the upper limit? Will there be a higher upper limit for naturally-born deviant ghosts? "Danny asked.
After pondering for a while, Bran denied, "If the deviant ghosts that reproduce are stronger, they can just choose one of their descendants to be the deviant ghost king. Why force Benjen Stark?
Eight thousand years have passed since the last Long Night. Even if the birth rate is low, a great king should have been born.
The truth is not so. The true deviant ghost king has not appeared.
It is as if the laws of the world are preventing him from appearing.
Or rather, when the deviant ghosts completely exterminate the living, when the world enters eternal darkness and coldness, when the deviant ghosts become the main characters of the new era, the deviant ghost king will appear naturally. "
"Ssss ~ ~ ~"
"Ssss ~ ~ ~"
Two Megalosaurus, one green and one white, flew from the east, followed by five Pterosaurs full of steel knights.
Danny and Bran were not extremely bored, standing in the stone garden of Casterly Rock City to enjoy the breeze.
They were waiting for Little White, Little Green, and the five Pterosaurs that followed them.
"Let's begin!" Danny closed her eyes, and Blackie, who was lying on the side, jumped up and spat out dragon flames with his two younger brothers, burning the corpses on the walls of Casterly Rock City.
The three dragons were all wearing steel armor and were not afraid of the javelins thrown by the "Han Army Flag".
In fact, there were only three deviant ghosts in Casterly Rock City.
If the deviant ghosts dared to appear outside the city, they would have been discovered by Bran and then killed by the Dragon Queen.
Well, although Bran was not a competent three-eyed crow and was far less omniscient than Blinden, he was still a bug-level spy.
Letting him help to scout the enemy was better than having a shapeshifting animal companion.
In Westeros local wars, because of Bran's existence, the humans actually had an information advantage.
Danny liked asymmetrical wars where she had an absolute information advantage. Well, she often fought in Slaver's Bay and was used to it, so she called Bran over as a scout.
"Gugugugu ~ ~ ~ ~ ~" A series of crow shadows flew out from Danny's eyes, turning into a line of fire that surrounded her body.
Gradually, a golden-red fire cocoon appeared on her body.
A total of three hundred fire crows.
"Prepare to cover me with your will." Danny said.
"I'm afraid the effect won't be too good. Others might not be able to sense it, but deviant ghost king will definitely know." Bran hesitated.
"Don't you know my situation? Am I hiding it from deviant ghost king? "Danny said indifferently.
"Alright!" The big crow jumped into the sky, the huge three-eyed crow's will covered the entire Casterly Rock City, isolating the area within a two-kilometer radius in a terrifying wall of will.
Well, it was like using the will to create a golden bell that covered Casterly Rock City, thus blocking the senses of the gods and fate.
Don't doubt, in Westeros, as long as the three-eyed crow was willing, they could hide it from any existence, even if the other party was a true god. For example, when Blinden invited Danny to work together to deal with Lahlo, Lahlo didn't even notice it before he fell into the trap.
.....
"Wind, come!" Danny's eyes suddenly turned green.
Gradually, a gentle wind blew around her, and the clouds began to gather, the wind swept away the clouds, and a tornado began to form.
Finally, in the stone garden of Casterly Rock City, a huge tornado with a diameter of a hundred meters stood tall.
It was obvious that as the wind pillar above Casterly Rock City took shape, the howling northern wind within a ten-kilometer radius of Casterly Rock City weakened.
Like the God of Frost extracting the cold air of the North to cast "White Frost", Dragon Queen extracted the power of the surrounding northern wind and turned it into a tornado controlled by her.
Power couldn't be created out of thin air, the true essence of magic was to take away what was lacking and make up for what was surplus. If the surplus was too much, it would become a forbidden spell.
"Domain …" Bran said bitterly, "How is this possible, you comprehended the Wind Domain in a month's time?"
"It's just a prototype," Danny floated in the center of the tornado, her blue cloak fluttering in the wind like a banner.
"I thought you would comprehend the Fire Domain first," Bran said.
"I thought so before, but soaking in the wind of a world every day, I can't help but think!" Danny seemed helpless, but she was very proud of herself.
She had only comprehended the prototype of the Wind Domain the day before yesterday, and had never truly tested its power. Now that she had tried it out, the effect was too shocking.
Previously, she only knew Fire Witchcraft and didn't know any proper Wind Witchcraft, but once she comprehended the Domain, the first thing she did was to cast a forbidden spell.
No wonder when she chased after the Door God to ask for Wind Witchcraft, the Door God said he didn't know any Witchcraft.
When pressed, he impatiently warned her: "Focus on the Song of Wind, with the Song of Wind, Witchcraft is completely useless."
Now Danny finally understood, compared to "Dao", "Witchcraft" was really just a side branch.
The tornado gradually expanded, and like a condom, it wrapped itself around Casterly Rock City, the Lannister's second son.
"Hiss!"
Big Black, Little White, and Little Green stood in a triangle on the city wall, surrounding Casterly Rock City. At this time, they all spat dragon flames at the tornado wall.
It was like sprinkling a strand of red dye in the milky white vortex.
The dragon flames kept spitting, and the fiery red in the tornado gradually deepened.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!" Then, the fire cocoon around Danny's body also expanded and fell to the bottom of Casterly Rock City, mixing with the dragon flames.
Wind and fire complemented each other, and the wind carried the fire, pouring into the city gate at the bottom of Casterly Rock City.
It was as if the tornado had turned into a cloud of red smoke, and Casterly Rock City was a vacuum cleaner, sucking the fire and wind into its stomach.
As it inhaled, it spewed out.
Casterly Rock City was divided into many levels, and each level had an open-air window.
At this time, the wind carried black smoke and fire, spewing out from the window, occasionally bringing out corpses and ghost limbs that burned like torches.
Other than the warehouse of supplies, Casterly Rock City was completely exposed.
