In Old Nan's bedtime stories, the Elves appeared more often than the Children of the Forest.
Humans only retained three impressions of the Elves: First, they were very short, like children; Second, the Elves liked to steal children, and then they would disguise themselves as the child and return to the child's parents; Third, the Elves could fulfill three wishes of humans.
The second impression was that it was a trick used by nannies to scare children. It was just like when the allied army was fighting at Slave Bay, the Jith people advertised that the Dragon Queen was big and round, ten feet tall, and that she could sleep ten handsome men to death in a day and eat a dozen children.
The Elves could fulfill three wishes of humans, but it was not nonsense.
The shark-faced Elves looked ferocious, but like the Children of the Forest, they were kind creatures with low attack power and simple minds.
Their talents were as strong as the Children of the Forest. They were born to interfere with fate and could turn wishes into reality through prophecies.
In ancient times, many humans looked for the Elves to fulfill their wishes.
The Elves were like living Aladdin's magic lamp.
"Fate is generally fair. You have to pay for what you gain.
Duncan and Jenny had paid the price for their fairy-tale love.
Didn't you realize that they didn't have a child after 20 years of marriage?
More importantly, Vela was trapped in her noble heart for the rest of her life. She was lonely and had no one to rely on.
In the long years, she reminisced about her good friends in her dreams and drunkenness.
It was possible that this was compensation for interfering with the river of fate. " Danny sighed.
She also thought about Cersei and the Witch of the Forest who prophesied for her.
The Witch chose the worst future for Cersei. She didn't have a good ending either. She was hanged by Randor and her family was destroyed by Erya.
It seemed that those who interfered with fate didn't have a good ending.
"This …" Ursa and Geralt were stunned.
After a while, Geralt said, "But Vela was destined to guard the holy land of her noble heart.
At least for the first 20 years of her life, she followed Lady Jenny to the palace. Even the king treated her with respect.
Her prophecies even led to your parents' marriage. She enjoyed the glory and power of the world. She didn't lose anything, right? "
"You don't think she's at a disadvantage, but you're not her. She cares more about her friends than the king.
If it weren't for that prophecy, Jenny wouldn't have left Thousand Faces Island. We'd probably be here now, receiving the hospitality of two kind and gentle old ladies, "Danny said.
The kind old lady Asuna smiled gently. Her smile was filled with the satisfaction of seeing through the world.
"Actually, I was very envious of my sister when I was young. Any woman would want to be the second Jenny. In general, Vera's prophecy is very good, "she said.
Big Bear glanced at Shark Face, who was chatting and laughing with the people around him in the hall, and asked, "Can these weird people really fulfill people's wishes?"
"Maybe, but it's more likely that you'll satisfy one of your desires and lose something more precious that you don't value," Danny said.
Big Bear fell silent, and the others no longer brought up topics related to prophecies and fate.
"There are many castles and villages around the Divine Eye Lake. The lake itself also has very prosperous fishing activities. Why have I never heard of the story of the Green Man?" Gero was puzzled.
"Compared to the huge Divine Eye Lake, Thousand Faces Island is too small. Plus, the lake is often shrouded in fog. Even if everyone knows that there's a small island in the lake, very few people will find it.
In fact, the fishermen and the surrounding residents are all afraid of the legendary Green Man. They don't even try to search Thousand Faces Island.
If someone with bad intentions enters the Divine Eye Lake, we'll know in advance, "the old squirrel said.
.....
Danny didn't leave Thousand Faces Island immediately. For the next few days, she stayed in the holy temple supported by 31 weirwoods. She didn't wander around the ancestral castles.
This was because she suddenly discovered an interesting secret. The 31 weirwoods were carved with the faces of 31 old gods, including the Frost God, Inami, and the Storm God (Ps).
The face of the gods carved on the surface of each weirwood represented an old god of Westeros.
The true gods of Westeros who were born before this era.
The holy temple with 31 weirwoods was equivalent to the "Pantheon of Westeros." The Door God and his followers all had a "divine position" in it.
Of course, the old weirwoods were strict and didn't like to take in followers.
Including Inami and the Storm God, he only had eight subordinate gods who could sing the complete Song of the Law.
This meant that at least two-thirds of the true gods didn't join the Door God's "sect."
Now, Danny replaced the Door God and became the leader of the Westeros.
Then she felt that she had the responsibility and the power to reestablish the rules of the Westeros gods.
With the change of leader, the idle days of the Westeros gods were over. The Dragon Queen planned to gather the old gods who were "supposed" to be loyal to her and form a group to fight with the new society in the continent of Ursos next door.
The Green Men Alliance was established under the witness of the gods. The 31 weirwoods in the holy temple represented 31 old gods, and each weirwood was inextricably linked to the corresponding old god.
Before absorbing the Seal of the Green Prophet, Danny couldn't detect this connection. After absorbing 73% of the Green Prophet's Seal, she vaguely felt it.
But once she held the Door God (the weirwood staff), the vague connection instantly strengthened thousands of times. She could find the traces of the corresponding old gods through the weirwood and communicate with them.
Now, the Dragon Queen was standing in the center of the swirling slate in the weirwood circle.
A small golden sun floated above her head, and the whole holy temple was filled with sunshine brighter than summer. The bloody leaves of the weirwood were almost visible to the naked eye.
There was also a group of wind elves, turning into green wind ribbons, playing among the branches.
Outside the weirwood circle, the old squirrel man led a group of ancestors, children of the forest, and spirits. They chanted ancient sacrificial words in the ancient language and danced a barbaric sacrificial dance.
Among the ancestors, the men took off their shirts and smeared dark red dye mixed with animal blood on their chests and faces. The dance moves were big and wide, and they beat the leather drums on their waists rhythmically.
The women wore the most gorgeous group clothes. Their posture was light, and their movements were soft. They complemented the men's rough movements.
The children of the forest sang melodiously, and the spirits' voices were sharp and rough. Together with the drumming of the ancestors, it was very harmonious.
They went clockwise and held a sacrificial ceremony outside the 31 weirwood circles.
Everyone in the Green Men organization was a believer of the old gods, and they were equivalent to the priests of the old gods.
The pure power of faith gathered into clouds above their heads, and then it flowed to the Dragon Queen in the central area.
The Queen looked calm, and she easily controlled the power of faith to enter the weirwood circle around her.
The roots of the Door God spread out and went straight into the ground, connecting with the 31 weirwood circles that represented the old gods.
The power of faith also entered the roots of the Door God, and it was divided into 31 parts. Through the 31 "divine positions" of the old gods, it was transmitted to the old gods everywhere in the void.
31 weirwood circles, 31 divine positions, 28 of them were empty, and there was no response.
The old gods of the Westeros had withered, and only the God of Cold, the God of Storm, and the Inami were still alive.
It was too miserable.
"Hey, is this the God of Storm?"
The weirwood representing the God of Storm was carved with the face of an angry man. It had a triangular face, and the eyes, nostrils, and mouth were all exaggeratedly opened. It was as if the eyes, nose, and tongue were all popping out.
"You …" The weirwood with the triangular face stopped swallowing the power of faith, and then a storm-like roar came. "Danny Lisi!!!"
The tone that was infused with the power of the powerful soul dragged on for a long time, like a never-ending hurricane.
Dani, on the other hand, smiled and said, "Night has fallen, and the Weirwood God is gone. I think it's time for Westeros to choose a new leader. What do you think?"
"Choose … the person in charge?" The God of Storm was stunned. Although the words "leader" were easy to understand, he still felt that it was weird.
After a while, he sneered, "A mortal who is not even a true god wants to be the leader? What makes you think you can do that?"
"If I'm not good enough, you can participate in the election yourself. We are all Westeros gods. If you have any opinions, you can say it directly. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can say it face to face. Isn't that good? "Danny said sincerely.
"Do you think I'm stupid? You can say your opinions face to face, and you can also kill when you disagree. You want to take advantage of me? No way! "The God of Storm said coldly.
"I'm just a mortal who is not even a true god. What are you afraid of?"
The God of Storm was angry and aggrieved. "Don't be arrogant. You can only be strong if you live long enough."
"Targaryen, your words are like a mountain. I swear in the name of my father that if you participate in the election, I will not attack you.
If I break my oath, I will let my father's soul sink forever. What do you think? "Danny proposed seriously.
"There is no need for us to talk. I will never bow to a junior. You are more powerful than me, and I will not be stupid enough to think that I can be your leader."
After saying this, the God of Storm swallowed the power of faith. No matter how much Dragon Queen said, he did not say a word.
Well, he was just like the guy in the WeChat group who only snatched red packets but never said anything.
Danny did not cut off the supply of power of faith. Instead, she contacted the next old god.
The Inami had a roaring face carved on the weirwood.
Many of the 31 weirwoods that represented the old gods had roaring faces carved on them. But if you looked closely, you could see the difference. For example, the God of Storm's face was triangular, and it looked like his eyeballs were popping out of their sockets.
But the Inami's roaring face was a big mouth that split open to the roots of the ears.
The green men also stuffed a burnt skull in their mouths.
"Choose a leader?" Inami was shocked when she first received the message from the Dragon Queen. But when she understood her intentions, she quickly calmed down.
Instead of cursing like the God of Storm, she asked in detail about the power of the leader and how the Dragon Queen planned to use this power.
"Sorry, the night is long. Survival is the most important thing. I am not too ambitious, and I do not want to put myself in danger. "She said in a flat but firm tone.
"Come on, you have been lurking around Stannis as Patchface for decades. Who would believe that you have no desires?" Danny said coldly.
Inami was silent.
After a long time, she sighed. "You misunderstand. Patchface is indeed one of my avatars, but he only has two uses. He is fighting for the Mother Goddess's kingdom and protecting Shireen for life.
I have no interest in Stannis or the prophecy of salvation. " “
"Protecting Shireen?" Danny asked curiously. "I heard that Shireen is close to you, but you have spent more time with Stannis, right?"
"Shireen is my daughter," Inami said sadly.
“what？ You and Selis … "Danny was shocked.
