The Dragon Queen didn't do anything, but a lightning-shaped black crack suddenly appeared above the pit at the top of the Noble Heart Mountain.
It was a space crack that was seven or eight meters long and two meters wide.
Gero and Big Bear didn't know what was behind the crack, but when they stared at it, they could feel fear and awe from the depths of their souls.
This feeling was inexplicable.
"This is different from the space gate summoned by Big Black. The color and shape are different. Do we also jump in directly?" Big Bear swallowed his saliva and asked with some fear.
"Jump into the dark shadow. Don't touch the intersection between the edge and the normal space, or you will be cut in two."
Danny said while picking up two withered branches from the snow. One of them disappeared into the dark crack.
The other flew horizontally to the edge of the black crack and split into two. One fell to the bottom of the pit, and the other disappeared into the darkness.
The old woman said, "You want to let two heretics enter the Mother Goddess' holy land?"
"The seven gods and the old gods have merged into one. There are no heretics."
"I'll go down first. Gero, you take the rear." Big Bear said to the Dark Star and jumped into the dark crack.
Like the branches just now, they disappeared in an instant.
Big Bear thought that he would enter a dark and cold space, but his vision was suddenly filled with warm green light. It was like returning to the womb where he was first born as a fetus. The peaceful and comfortable feeling made him intoxicated and unwilling to wake up.
But in the next moment, he was awakened by a burst of noise.
Opening his eyes, Big Bear was at a loss.
He was in a tall temple that was brightly lit. The roof was seven or eight meters high. Looking around, it was probably two or three thousand square meters.
Supporting the structure of the house was a circle of heart trees that were as thick as two people. They were all weirwood, and the tree trunks were engraved with the faces of gods such as smiling, angry, contemplating, roaring, and sad.
This was the temple of the old gods.
Although the old gods didn't have temples or priests, with so many heart trees appearing at once, it was obvious that this was the holy land of the old gods.
Was this the holy land that the Queen mentioned?
Big Bear looked around. He was in the center of the temple. The blue marble that was the size of a human head laid a strange rune on the dirt floor — a huge vortex that rotated clockwise.
He stood in the center of the whirlpool, which was also the center of the Heart Tree Circle.
Other than himself, Gero and Dragon Queen were nowhere to be seen. Outside the Heart Tree circle, there were hundreds of people holding torches, pointing at him and shouting excitedly. They were also waving the crude Dragon Crystal daggers in their hands.
Not only were there humans, but there were also dozens of squirrel people and some humanoid creatures that were shorter and stranger than squirrel people.
Its smooth grayish-blue skin made it look like a short and fat shark. It had snow-white sharp teeth and a golden beard.
The bearded man was at Fat Head Shark?
Chora had never seen such a monster before, but since it spoke the ancient language, it was clearly a humanoid creature like the Children of the Forest.
Da Xiong couldn't speak or understand the ancient language.
These people were very hostile to him, but they seemed to be afraid of something and did not dare to cross the heart tree circle and enter the spiral floor area.
"Who are you?" Big Bear couldn't help but shout.
It was the common language.
A dignified man with a fox fur collar angrily said a long string of words, all of which were in ancient language.
Just as Big Bear was about to say something, a beam of light green light lit up beside him, like countless fireflies flying around a pillar.
When the humans, squirrel people, and shark people outside the Heart Tree Circle saw this, they all stopped shouting and knelt on the ground with respectful expressions, kowtowing non-stop.
Then the light green beam disappeared. Big Bear's vision blurred, and a confused Gero Dane appeared beside him.
"Where is this?" Gero asked blankly.
Before Big Bear could answer, the people kowtowing outside the circle jumped three feet high, all of them furious, even angrier than before, pointing at Gero with ferocious faces.
"Maybe this is the old sacred place that the Queen was talking about. There are many Heart Trees here, 31 of them. Look, there are Children of the Forest outside. Those humans must be the purest ancestors, "Big Bear said.
At this time, another group of people walked in from outside the hall. Two or three hundred people surrounded a squirrel person.
The squirrel person was very old, with deep wrinkles on his doe-spotted chestnut skin. He wore clothes woven from leaves and vines and walked over unsteadily.
There was no flower on his head, so he should be a male squirrel person.
With his arrival, the people who were shouting excitedly around him quieted down.
The old squirrel person's mouth didn't move, and his green and red eyes only glanced at Gero and Big Bear. A voice sounded in their minds.
"Why are you on the altar?"
The two white knights looked at each other, and Big Bear stepped forward and said cautiously, "We came with the Queen. Do you know the Dragon Queen?"
The old squirrel person closed his eyes and "pondered" for a moment, then said, "I understand. The Queen should still be in the sacred place. Come down from the altar. "
"Come down?" Big Bear looked down again, feeling puzzled. Wasn't this just a flat ground?
"You mean, leave the Heart Tree Circle?" he asked.
"Be careful, he's tricking us out," Gero whispered.
Big Bear glanced at the old squirrel person and shook his head, "It shouldn't be. The old man may be a powerful Green Prophet. There's no need to lie."
"I'm not a Green Prophet, but don't worry, the people here don't mean any harm. They just don't understand the current situation."
The old squirrel person said a few words to the people around him, and the ancestors and the Wood Dancer put away their weapons.
The two white knights then left the central area of the Heart Tree Circle, but stopped between two Heart Trees.
"Where are we? Are we beyond the Great Wall? The Queen did bring us to the sacred place of the old gods. I thought this was the sacred place, "Big Bear said curiously.
"This is not beyond the Great Wall. Do you know the Thousand Faces Island of the Divine Eye Lake? You're in the holy temple of the Thousand Faces Island Green People Alliance, "the red-eyed squirrel said.
"Thousand Faces Island? Green People Alliance? "Big Bear and Gero looked at each other in shock.
.....
The full title of the King of the Seven Kingdoms was "the King of the Ancestors, Andals, and Loynars." The three races were all refugees, and they also had wars of conquest with the local natives during the migration to the Westeros.
12,000 years ago, the ancestors crossed the narrow sea, crossed the Dorne Arm and entered the Westeros. The natives they faced were the Children of the Forest.
At first, Danny couldn't understand how the ancestors could gain a foothold in the Westeros. Was it because of the bronze civilization of the ancestors?
The Green Prophet knew Forbidden Spell Magic!
Later, when she understood the attitude of the Door God and the Three-Eyed Crow towards the second generation of Westeros — those who were born in the Westeros were considered Westerners — she understood the supernatural powers of the early ancestors, and her doubts were solved.
First of all, the top powers of the natives didn't interfere in the racial war.
Secondly, the early ancestors didn't lack supernatural powers. For example, "City Builder" Brandon, "God's Sorrow" Duron, "Green Hand" Garth, "Dragon Slayer" Gray Sea King, and other ancestor kings all had god-level powers.
Well, these ancestors were born in the Hero Era and didn't participate in the earlier Dawn Era Conquest. But it could be inferred that their ancestors were definitely not Muggles.
In the end, the ancestors didn't completely defeat the Children of the Forest.
Both sides fought for more than 2,000 years and suffered heavy losses. They were both mentally and physically exhausted and didn't want to fight anymore.
Thus, the Green Prophet and Wood Dancer, who represented the Children of the Forest, and the tribal chief and hero, who represented the ancestors, made an oath on the Thousand Faces Island.
The oath stated that the ancestors owned the coast, plains, grasslands, mountains, and swamps, but the lush forests would forever belong to the Children of the Forest. Furthermore, no weirwood was allowed to be cut down in the entire kingdom.
Alright, looking at the contents of the oath, the Children of the Forest had already lost. They had almost given up their dominance over the Westeros.
However, there was an unwritten unspoken rule in the oath: all the ancestors had to convert to the old gods.
Before the Andals arrived, all the ancestors had indeed converted to the old gods, including Tiemin of the Iron Islands. The Inami they worshipped was also the old gods.
Looking at it this way, it seemed that the old gods didn't lose much?
The oath was carried out under the witness of the gods, and it was incomparably sacred. In order to ensure that the sacred oath wouldn't be broken, the two sides who signed the oath even created a sacred organization, the Green Men Alliance.
.....
"They are all true royalty." The old squirrel man pointed at the humans in the hall and introduced them to the two white knights. "Not everyone is qualified to join the Green Men Alliance. Only the descendants of the kings and heroes can go to the Thousand Faces Island."
In other words, he seemed to be quite disdainful of the identity of the two white knights.
"Are they from the Eight Great Duke Families?" Gero Dane frowned and asked.
"Eight Great Duke Families?" The old squirrel man snorted and asked, "Do you know the history of the Westeros? When did the Eight Great Duke Families originate? "
"Many of the ancestors of the kings were heroes of the Heroic Era," Ursa Major said.
"Era" wasn't a new term invented by Danny. Westeros had the term "Era" since ancient times.
However, the division of the Westeros' eras was more subjective. For example, 12,000 years ago, it was called the Dawn Era, and the period between the oath and the long night was called the "Heroic Era."
A few old Duke Families were established at the end of the Heroic Era, thousands of years later than the oath.
Therefore, the ancestors of the Green Men Alliance of the Thousand Faces Island had a longer history than the families of the Stark and Lannister Families.
Just like what the old squirrel man said, those without royal blood were not qualified to enter the Thousand Faces Island.
Gero Dane could still struggle and argue that his ancestors were also the ancestors of the kings, perhaps dating back to the end of the Dawn Era.
However, Ursa Major's Mormont Family only had a history of a little more than a thousand years. They were definitely "poor upstarts."
"No matter how glorious their ancestors were, their families must have disappeared from the Westeros by now," Gero sneered.
"Sigh, most of them have disappeared." The old squirrel man nodded and sighed.
All of a sudden, the huge weirwood hall shook slightly. Layers of huge dark green spiral runes lit up on the floor. The wooden planks of the roof cracked and dust fell down. They could even see the weirwood branches and leaves outside the house.
"What's happening? Earthquake? "Ursa Major held onto the tree trunk and shouted in surprise.
The old squirrel man waved to the panicking crowd around him. "Don't panic. It's just that the Holy Land has disappeared."
"The Holy Land has disappeared?" The ancestors of the Royal Family, the squirrel man, and the fat shark man turned pale and panicked.
"What's the Holy Land?" Ursa Major asked in confusion.
"Didn't you just come from the Holy Land?"
"The Noble Heart?"
"Between the Noble Heart and the Thousand Faces Island."
Gero's heart skipped a beat and he blurted out, "That sea of green light?"
"That's the Green Spring." The old squirrel man took a deep look at the two white knights and said in a complicated tone, "You two are lucky. You're not believers of the old gods, but you've been blessed by the old gods."
"What kind of blessing is that? I've just touched a little bit of the Green Spring and barely have the talent of a shapeshifter." A voice was heard. Dragon Queen's figure suddenly appeared in the center of the tree circle.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" Ursa Major asked subconsciously. However, he felt that he had said something unnecessary because Her Majesty's face was glowing. She was smiling so much that her eyebrows were about to fly off.
