The air in the Dungeon was very good. It wasn't stuffy and turbid like the caves. Instead, the air was fresh. The breeze brought along the fragrance of fresh flowers, the sweetness of fruits, and the fragrance of green leaves.
A few Centaurs sang a ballad and drove a group of goats. They looked carefree as they walked past the small team.
The Centaurs drove the goats further away and disappeared among the fluorescent plants. It was a picturesque scene.
"Today, the ones who live the happiest are the centaurs. They are even happier and more at ease than they were before the long night." The dwarf said in a ridiculous tone.
"They are the citizens of King Kao," Dungeon Lord Cui Luo said matter-of-factly.
"Can Winterfell build an underground botanical garden?" Erya asked expectantly.
"I've been to your family's tomb. It's too cold." Cui Luo shook his head. "Look here, 200 meters underground. It's not affected by the cold outside. It's so warm.
Winterfell's underground cellar is too shallow, and the area near the hot spring is too small. Unless the Dragon Worm goes over and digs another 100 meters. "
"How many Little Elves are there? Do they produce enough food?" the Gnome asked curiously.
"Just three Fire Elves, Centaurs, Shepherds, and Kalixi City's Haer Cologne.
The underground manor mainly produces vegetables, fruits, beef, and mutton. We haven't planted high-yield crops, so it's not enough to feed everyone in the Dungeon.
However, the Dungeon isn't a sealed city system.
The fruits and vegetables we produce are enough to feed two million people in Slave Bay. Slave Bay also provides us with salted fish and kelp.
You saw it before you came in. A group of workers is loading goods for the Pterosaur. "
"The Dungeon alone and Slave Bay alone can't last long in the long night. However, if the two are combined, we don't have to worry about food for ten years.
Moreover, as Kalixi's power grows, the Light Elves will grow as well.
When Lightsong is perfected, the Light Elves' light intensity will increase by a few times.
By then, we can plant wheat, corn, and other crops on a large scale. Perhaps the Dungeon can last forever. "Cui Luo was full of confidence, and his eyes were full of hope.
"Compared to the Westeros in the abyss of suffering, Slave Bay is like heaven," the Hound sighed.
The dwarf said helplessly, "They've been prepared for this for a long time. They started stockpiling grain a few years ago. At that time, the Westeros were still in the midst of the Rebellion of the Four Princes."
Then, he raised another question. "The pterosaur's efficiency in transporting goods is somewhat low. You only have twenty pterosaurs, so you can only transport twenty to thirty tons of goods each time. "
"The efficiency is indeed low. Pterosaurs also consume a lot of meat." Cui Luo nodded helplessly. "We're considering building a team of horses pulling sleds. We'll take the route of White Cloud City, Raza River, and Meereen."
"It's over a thousand kilometers!" the dwarf exclaimed.
"Follow the river. The river is not completely frozen yet. Walk 400 kilometers to Kalisi City, and then load the goods."
Kui Luo pondered and said, "Actually, even if the river is completely frozen, it won't be much of a problem.
They could build relay stations along the way and pass the information layer by layer, but it would just take more manpower. In the long night, there are still hundreds of thousands of centaurs who have nothing to do. "
After a night of drinking with the centaurs who had nothing to do, Tessa carried a ton of tomatoes and led the team to Horse King City in the north the next day.
The reason why they took a detour to Horse King City was not to build the Temple of the Seven Gods and lay out the path of faith.
The faith of the Horse God in Horse King City had already been reformed into the more advanced and civilized "Pegasus Religion".
Pegasus was Megalosaurus, and the main god of Pegasus Religion was Blackie.
If the team went to Kohor and built the Temple of the Seven Gods, they could create a more efficient path of faith from Dragonstone Island — Pentos — Kohor — Horse King City — Barren Land.
Yes, the Seven Gods and Blackie could borrow Pegasus Blackie's temple.
However, Danny was worried that Black Goat would lead Kohor's army to kill the team, so she took a detour to Kohor City.
Uh, it was very awkward. Qizang did not know that when he killed the goddess, Black Goat was also implicated, leaving only a set of dark green scale armor and a pair of golden goat horns.
Qizang also picked up the spoils of war. He even gave the small scale armor to the dwarf as inner armor, and the golden goat horns to Erya as daggers — because the horns contained dense death energy.
However, the team did not know who the horns belonged to.
Qizang knew that he had killed a few evil gods, but his attention was on Murthea at that time. Why would he care about a small fry?
He thought that he had killed the goddess' spirit.
Of course, Black Goat was not a small fry. It was much more powerful than a spirit.
If he was in Kohor Temple, he would have dared to fight Lahlo.
However, Rhys was not Kohor, and he was not like Murthea, who had comprehended many Songs of Laws.
When the Black Mountain Goat died, the Sea of Law did not even tremble, which was enough to explain the problem.
That unlucky guy was very similar to Dragon Queen in the early days. He was very powerful, but his realm was lower.
The Dragon Queen did not have a good relationship with the gods, so she was not well-informed. She did not know that Black Goat was dead for the time being, so she did not change her itinerary.
Except for Horse King City, the team's itinerary was predetermined in advance.
When news of what happened to Kohor Temple came, Danny might have guessed something. However, even if she knew that Black Goat had died, she would not let Qizang go to Kohor.
Pentos, Myr, Tylosi, and Rhys were all city-states in the Narrow Sea. They were 400 kilometers away from the Westeros. No one in their right mind would dare to offend the Dragon Queen.
Volantis had war gods and returned prisoners of war, so it was safe.
The Kars royal family had long withered in the Dragon Flame. The real power had always been in the hands of merchants, and Zaro was one of the 13 giants.
Therefore, although the team seemed to be very active, they were actually very stable.
Kohor was different. The Dragon Queen did not have the ability to directly and quickly threaten it.
If it was before the long night, the Khal King's 100,000 khalasas were spread across the vast inland plains. If any city-state dared to not give them face, Kali Xi would immediately fly into a rage. However, she could not do so now.
The route after Kars was: Raging Howl City, Thunder Island, and Barbarian Capital.
They were all under the jurisdiction of the Dragon Queen's Long Arm.
.....
"That's right. Pale skin, icy blue eyes. I am not sure if there was any light. At that time, we were holding torches. Perhaps there was a reflection in the eyes?
However, that thing did not have any emotions. Just by looking at it, my soul almost froze. I feel that it is not a human. " The dark-skinned middle-aged eunuch said in fear.
As the long night fell, most of the foreign merchants in Horse King City chose to leave. The boundless East and West Markets were covered in snow. No one cleaned them up.
Other than the Centaurs, there were only a few old people who had lived in the plains for their entire lives. They chose to wait for death here.
According to the Khal King's orders, the Dosh Karim also moved to the foot of the Goddess Mountain after the long night fell. They took wood, dug a cave, and built a brick bed.
At this moment, the team came to the old priest's cave. They sat on the wide brick bed and questioned a Dosh Karim eunuch with a serious expression.
This was because the eunuch seemed to have seen a deviant ghost!
Deviant ghosts in Horse King City, how could this be?
When the Dragon Queen received this terrible news, she immediately ordered the team to head north to Horse King City to investigate the matter.
The old Dosh Karim, who could only pretend to be mysterious and rely on deceit, had already learned the Moon Singer meditation technique that the Dragon Queen had taught her. She had also successfully become a qualified Pegasus Priest. She had established a faith link with the pegasus, Big Black.
This way, the old priest could communicate with the Dragonstone Island's Magic Net Hub through the glass candle.
Although she did not leave the house and had been hiding in the desolate cave of Horse King City all this time, she was not completely ignorant of the outside world.
"When I heard Howl's description of 'strange strange people', I felt that something was wrong. Isn't this a deviant ghost? So I immediately sent a message to the Khal King. I did not expect you to really come. "
The old woman sucked on the tomato with her toothless mouth while using her black eyes to scan the faces of the people in front of her.
Tyrion twisted his neck uncomfortably and asked, "Is it strange that we are here?"
"Keke …" The old woman laughed strangely and asked, "If I dreamt of you sitting on the brick bed and talking to me before the deviant ghosts appeared, would you find it strange?"
"Prophecy?" The dwarf's expression changed and asked again, "Then can you prophesy whether the strange strange people are deviant ghosts?"
"Didn't the Khal King send you here to investigate this matter?" The old woman sucked all the tomato juice but did not melt a single piece of tomato meat. She frowned and sighed, "The night is long and there is a shortage of food. We cannot waste it. Howl, take this and cook a bowl of tomato and fish soup. "
The black man Howl respectfully took the shriveled tomato that the old woman had sucked dry and left the guest room.
Qi Zang and his disciple's faces were pale. Their stomachs were churning. They swore in their hearts that when they ate later, they would not touch anything other than roasted meat.
"But …" The old woman wiped her mouth and licked the juice off her hands. Then, she sighed and said, "I haven't been able to sleep well recently. I keep dreaming of ice, snow, and a sea of fire. There are also countless people crying. This is an ominous sign. A great calamity is about to befall the continent."
"If deviant ghosts cross the sea and sneak into Horse King City, Ursos will be in real danger," Qi Zang said solemnly.
"Where did you see the strange stranger? Were there any signs of theft at the cemetery? "Hound asked.
"Just at the Womb Lake under Mother Goddess Mountain. There are only three to four thousand people left in Horse King City. The cows and sheep have been slaughtered and stored. Fishing in the lake is enough to fill our stomachs.
Howl met the strange person when he was chiseling the ice on the lake.
The strange person only observed him for a while before retreating and disappearing into the snow.
As for the cemetery … "
The old woman laughed strangely again. "Centaurs don't have a cemetery. After we die, we have to ride our blazing horses and rush to the Night Kingdom of the Heavenly Horse God!"
.....
The preaching team stayed in Horse King City for a week. They were busy for a week, but they still couldn't find any traces of the strange person.
They even hung the bodies of two old slaves who froze to death in the forest north of Womb Lake, but they didn't turn into zombies.
Helpless, they could only continue west.
But unexpectedly, the flowers they planted with the intention did not bloom, while the willow they planted with the intention did. Things unexpectedly took a turn for the better in Shamiliana.
Erya, who was following Qi Zang amidst the cheering crowd, suddenly turned around and said with a trembling voice, "Uncle, is that you?"
Just because she took an extra look at him in the crowd, she saw that unruly face through that ordinary face that didn't belong to him.
The uncle's body also trembled. He closed his eyes and silently took a step back. His figure faded into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
"It really is you, Uncle Jia Kun?!" Erya was shocked. "Your eyes …"
