The current base of the Green Men was very small, and it took them less than half an hour to walk around.
In the end, the old squirrel man brought the guests to a two-story castle with milky white marble walls and said to the dragon lady, "Your ancestor used to live in this castle for a while. How about we let the Mulder and Westerlin families entertain you and the two white knights?"
"Westerlin? The Westerlin of Cliff City? "Ursa was shocked.
"There were four or five hundred royal families back then, and more than half of them still have bloodlines. If it weren't for the invasion of the Andals, more than eighty percent of the surviving families would have survived." Danny's expression was very calm.
For example, the Darry family of Darry City was a royal family before the Age of Heroes.
Instead of calling them kings, it was more appropriate to call them tribal chiefs.
After a while, a white-haired old woman hurriedly walked out of the stone castle with seven or eight men and women beside her.
On the old woman's mink coat, there was a big red-eyed crow looking around proudly.
These people were not primitive people, and they all had clean clothes above the middle-class class. Their faces were rosy and shiny, and there was no lack of arrogance in their confident eyes.
After all, the Thousand Faces Island was between Hejian and the King's Landing, and it was not a secret barren land.
The people on the island all wore silk and linen, and their appearance was neat and tidy. Not only did they not have to worry about hunger or cold, but almost all of them were well-educated.
There were even adult men wearing leather armor with iron swords hanging from their waists, and there was no difference between them and the noble knights in the outside world.
Danny saw the emblem of a noble on the old woman's robe, a golden crown inlaid with emeralds, and she belonged to the Mulder family that had disappeared in Hejian.
After greeting the Dragon Queen with her family, the old woman introduced her family and name.
Her name was Asuna Mulder, and she was seventy-two years old. She was married to a Westerlin, and now she lived with her nephew, grandnephew, son, and grandchildren.
In the end, old Asuna stretched out her skinny hand covered with age spots and stroked the big crow on her shoulder. Her eyes were gentle as she said, "My husband and I are both shapeshifters, and this crow is my husband's second life. After he died twenty years ago, the crow became my animal companion.
He's very smart, just like the crow, the son of the forest. Your Majesty, you can take him with you when you leave. "
Danny followed the old woman to the living room of the castle and asked curiously, "You know what I use the crows for?"
Under normal circumstances, she wouldn't enter the river of time to check all the information of the person before her.
That might trigger the other party's spiritual sense and make it seem impolite. To her, maintaining her four-dimensional state was too taxing on her mind.
"We can know what's happening in the outside world through the trees," the old squirrelman explained.
Danny nodded and asked, "He is your husband. Are you willing to part with him?"
"To be able to start a true second life is also a wonderful home for him. Furthermore, I'm already very old and will soon return to the embrace of the Mother Goddess. "The old woman smiled.
"Are there still many big crows on the island?" Danny asked the old squirrel man.
"Many of them have appeared, but they all went beyond the Great Wall and served under the Three-Eyed Crow."
Danny was a little disappointed that the idea of making some extra money fell through.
The living room of the castle was barren, and the gate was closed. They went directly to the dining room from the side gate.
The dining room was about a hundred square meters and didn't have any glass windows. The torches and fireplaces on the walls kept the room bright, but the air seemed a little turbid.
It was unknown how long the old oak table had been there, and even after it was wiped, it still couldn't hide the black and thick oil stains on its surface.
The Dragon Queen sat in the main seat, which was a high back chair made of gold silk. The old squirrelman's seat was the first one on her left, and the old woman's seat was next.
The two white knights took off their cloaks and sword belts and hung them by the fireplace. Then, they sat in front of the host.
There were no servants in the Mulder and Westrin families. Apart from the old woman, the other women were busy in the kitchen.
"Actually, I'm Jenny's younger sister." While waiting for the banquet, the old woman took the initiative to chat with the guests.
"Jenny from the City of Desolation?" Gero Dane had guessed it before, but he was still shocked.
"I didn't expect Princess Jenny to come from the Thousand Faces Island. No wonder the farmers of the City of Desolation don't know her."
As everyone knew, Jenny came from the City of Desolation and lived in the ruins of the wilderness.
The City of Desolation used to be the city-state of a king in Hejian County, but it was destroyed during the invasion of the Andals. After being abandoned for more than five thousand years, there was nothing left except for the broken city walls.
That kind of environment couldn't raise the mysterious, charming, elegant, and intellectual Jenny who was full of flowers.
Moreover, Jenny had no parents, no property, and no job. She couldn't even live off her parents. If she was an ordinary girl, she couldn't support herself.
Even if she could survive by hunting and farming, she would definitely torture herself into a peasant woman with big hands and feet, a thick neck, a heavy body odor, and yellow teeth.
How could she make Prince Flay fall in love at first sight and give up his throne for a beauty?
Jenny also claimed to be the descendant of the ancient king who had died long ago. But the City of Desolation had been destroyed for almost six thousand years. There was no land or family, and even if there were descendants, their inheritance had been cut off.
It was like grabbing a random person from the street and asking him who his ancestors were five thousand years ago. Who could answer?
Moreover, the City of Desolation was abandoned, but there were still villages around it. The people there mocked Jenny as a lunatic who liked to daydream, or even a forest witch.
No one could be sure of her origins.
Like a mushroom after the rain, Jenny suddenly emerged from the ground.
But even if her origins were a mystery, Jenny still successfully married the eldest son of the king.
Strangely, the king at that time fiercely opposed it for a while, but quickly accepted this daughter-in-law.
Not only did the royal family accept her, but after Jenny entered the Red Castle, she quickly gained the approval of all the nobles.
The royal family accepted her, the nobles liked her, and the commoners in the country especially admired and respected her.
Yang Koi even had a lot of anti-fans!
This at least showed that Jenny wasn't just a koi. Her talent, bearing, and temperament must have met or even exceeded the requirements of an excellent crown princess.
Could a commoner's upbringing do that?
Westeros peasants didn't even know how to read.
Then, there were only two possibilities left.
Either Jenny really had an extraordinary background, or she was at least a mid-level aristocrat with a long history, or Jenny had attended Sister Amy's crown princess training class.
Well, even someone as powerful as Sister Amy could only nurture a goddess who could satisfy the nouveau riche.
The crown princess' temperament and ability were difficult to be artificially trained through bag sharing and hotel sharing.
It was not a joke to say that one's Qi would be changed by one's upbringing.
.....
The old squirrel man sighed and said, "Jenny and Vera grew up together and were the best of friends.
Yes, Vera is the current caretaker of Noble Heart.
The Old God's holy land was located in Noble Heart, which was originally not the responsibility of the Green Men.
But after the Andals slaughtered Noble Heart, only Thousand Faces Island south of Neck Lake had Old God believers left.
So, every generation, there would be transfigureheads or Children of the Forest leaving Thousand Faces Island to guard the Old God's ruins and cultivate the weirwood on the mountain.
Although Noble Heart was safer and more peaceful than any other area, the people of Hejian would generally avoid that place.
Because there has always been a rumor that the ghosts of the Children of the Forest killed by Gregor the Kinslayer often appear around.
Your Majesty, you know that the ghosts of the Children of the Forest would never stay in one place. They would either start a second life in their animal companions or return to heaven and earth.
There has never been a case of transfigureheads or Children of the Forest appearing in the human world.
Why did the rumor persist for thousands of years? "
"Are you up to something?" Big Bear asked.
"Not really. We have never hurt a civilian. Instead, we protect travelers from wild beasts.
Can you imagine the consequences of ordinary people discovering the Children of the Forest in Hejian? We just want to protect ourselves. "The old Forest man shook his head and sighed.
While they were talking, the Green Men in new clothes had arrived at Mulder's castle one after another.
They bowed to the Dragon Queen, and then the men and the elderly joined the conversation in the living room. The young women went to the kitchen to help.
Not only were there humans, but there were also Children of the Forest in new clothes and naked monsters. They carried pine nuts, dried fruits, wine gourds and spotted mandarin fish as gifts.
In the end, the dining room was full. A group of women and girls cleaned the dusty main hall again and asked everyone to move there.
"Thousand Faces Island rarely holds indoor banquets, and there are no foreign guests. All the main halls of the castle are abandoned, and there is no manpower for daily management," Jenny's younger sister said apologetically.
In fact, the temple supported by thirty-one weirwood was very suitable for banquets. However, for the believers of the old gods, holding banquets in the Forest of God was a blasphemy.
Even the Andals, who believed in the Seven Gods, would not hold banquets in the Forest of God.
"The last time an outsider came to Thousand Faces Island was sixty years ago. Jenny and her husband, Prince Duncan, were newlyweds and lived here for two months."
The old Squirrel Man continued his story. "Jenny and Vera left Thousand Faces Island together. The two did not want to be separated for one reason.
More importantly, Vera had Green Vision and was especially good at prophecy.
When Jenny was still underage, she secretly begged Vera to help her prophesy her future husband. "
"Ah, Jenny already knew that she was going to marry Prince Duncan?" Big Bear exclaimed.
"She didn't know it was Duncan, but she was sure that she would meet her true love in the City of Barren Stone." The old Squirrel Man shook his head bitterly.
"Prophecy is actually a choice of fate. The future is uncertain and there are many possibilities, but the top prophets can determine the fate of the prophesied person through observation.
And the Green Man Organization is the group of people who are most favored by the Mother Goddess. In Thousand Faces Island, there is never a lack of high-level shapeshifters with Green Dream.
In order not to have unpredictable effects on the River of Fate, Thousand Faces Island has an unwritten rule that forbids Green Dream to help others prophesy. "
"The noble Vera has no scruples at all. A pot of inferior wine worth one copper coin can be exchanged for a basket of prophecies from her." Danny complained.
"She was quite tight-lipped when she was young." The old man smiled awkwardly. "Jenny begged her for a long time, and Vera subconsciously helped her friend choose the most beautiful and dreamy future.
— — Jenny will meet the most handsome, most noble, most upright and brave prince in her best years. They will be congenial and their hearts will be intertwined. Her love will be blessed by everyone. After meeting him, she would live with smiles and flowers forever until the day of her death. They will hold hands and leave the world at the same time. At the moment of death, they will not feel pain, only satisfaction and happiness. "
"This, it seems to have been completely realized?" Gero Dane was shocked and horrified.
"After Jenny left Thousand Faces Island, she took the initiative to separate from Vera in order to wait for the prince in the City of Barren Stone." Danny was very emotional. "She waited for him, and everything was as predicted."
"The ending doesn't seem to be very good, right?" Big Bear said.
Gero shook his head and said, "When the Midsummer Hall burned down, they had lived happily together for 20 years, almost a lifetime. They had a happy life, and they lived and died together. What was there to be dissatisfied with? "
Even Danny couldn't refute this. When Jenny and her husband were burned to death in the Midsummer Hall, they were almost 40 years old, and they had enjoyed all kinds of happiness.
"The prophecy of the noble Ghost for Jenny is more like a blessing, like the three weird wishes." Dark Star sighed.
