Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 293 Pit

"Jon, do you know why I chased that goshawk in the afternoon?"

"The Skinchanger," Jon nodded, stroking the scar on his cheek with a complicated expression, "in fact, I still know it. It belonged to Auriel once. I killed him, and his eagle scratched my face. Listen Said Varamyr the Sixshapes inherited the eagle."

"Six-shapes Varamyr, does he have five pets?" Dany asked in surprise.

"Plus Auriel's eagle, maybe he should be called the Seven-shapes. Three wolves, a shadow lynx, a snow bear the size of a hut, almost the strongest skinchanger among the wildlings."

Dany was silent, but not only was she the strongest skinchanger among the wildlings, looking around the world, that guy named Varamyr was also a rare opponent. Well, before the Stark family bug was born.

Like Bran, definitely stronger than Six Shapes.

Not to mention Bran, Varamyr the Six Shapes is also very afraid of Jon, because his talent is not half of Jon's.

"How many skinchangers are there among the wildlings?" Barristan asked.

"There are at least twenty of them, but they are not as powerful as Varamyr. They can only control one pet. The strong ones can tame the shadow lynx, while the weak ones can only find a goat or a wild boar as a partner."

The white knight's complexion changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Twenty? Seven gods, even a shadow lynx or a sparrow, if they can be used flexibly, can change the final direction of a war."

Before Dany and Robb appeared, the old man might not have such worries.

However, he had personally experienced the Battle of Slave Bay, and he knew that information asymmetry alone could cause one side to be completely passive, and the suppression of war horses and pack horses by powerful legendary creatures would further increase this disadvantage.

Even if the skinchanger only controls a sparrow, he can sneak into the enemy's castle and eavesdrop on the commander's entire battle plan and troop deployment plan.

How terrifying is this advantage of mastering the other party's information!

"Not much at all," Dany shook her head disapprovingly, "A skin-changer appears among a thousand believers of the old gods, and a green prophet appears among a thousand skin-changers. There are estimated to be [-] to [-] wildlings outside the city. , there are only a dozen shapechangers, which is already considered a small number."

Jon hesitated and said: "The North also believes in the Old Gods, why haven't you heard of the Skinchanger?"

Dani looked at him with a "hehe" and smiled strangely, "Riding on a horse looking for a horse, aren't you a wolf spirit yourself?"

"I'm not!" Jon waved his hands eagerly to deny, as if the Dragon Queen had slandered him as a villain and a monster.

"You're instinctively denying your own nature. Jon, I understand that skinchangers have been demonized by the Andals, by the Citadel, and you don't want to be treated like a monster.

But as a believer in the old gods, if you deny yourself and the skinchangers, it is equivalent to cursing loudly—the old gods are evil gods. "

"Varamir the Six-Shaped Man is the strongest skin-changer among the wildlings, but I heard from Yeager that the wildlings said that when he was a child, he controlled the family's hounds to kill his own brother, committing the crime of kinslaughter, and when he grew up, he To take away one's master's wolf, one's house, one's domain - more hateful than breaking a sacred oath.

He controls more than a dozen nearby villages by force. Anyone who dares to resist his rule will be torn apart by wolves. He also uses shadow lynx to plunder women in the villages.

According to His Majesty, the talent of the skinchanger comes from the blessing of the old gods, why would the old gods bless such a wicked person? "Jon said a little excitedly.

He agrees with Dany's statement in his heart—the skin-changers are related to the belief of the old gods, but none of the skin-changers he has seen seems to be a good person. Could it be that the old gods he believes in love villains?

"Jon, you misunderstood me." Dany told Barristan a few words, explaining: "The talent of the skinchanger belongs to the power of the blood of the individual. Whether it has any fundamental relationship with the old gods, I'm not sure.

However, in the belief of the old gods, the skinchanger is equivalent to the status of a priest.

You can question the character of a skinchanger, but there is no need to deny the career system of 'Priest of the Old Gods'.

Just like the Church of the Seven Gods, archbishops with low character are no less scum than skinchangers, but I believe in the Seven Gods, and this does not affect my pride as a bishop at all.

To give another simple example, I have a gift for wizardry, but Ser Barristan does not.

If the two of us believe in the Lord of Light at the same time, I don't need to be too devout to become a priest of the Red God who possesses mysterious power, and even though he is devout, he has no half power.

Because he has no talent, his status in the Red Temple is far inferior to mine. "

Old Aemon thoughtfully said: "This explanation is very clear and objective. To be honest, I have always been prejudiced against skinchangers before."

Jon calmed down, nodded silently, agreed with Dany's statement, and hesitated: "Then what should I do?"

"Test your talent first."

As he spoke, Barristan came back from above the tower, holding a long wooden box in his hand.

Dany took the wooden box, opened it and took out the obsidian spar with silver-gray stripes inside, inserted it into the round hole in the base of the wooden box, and said to Jon, "This is a glass candle. Try it and see how long it takes to ignite it."

"How to light it?" Jon dragged the chair to the edge of the table, staring at the obsidian crystal curiously, "Is this dragonglass? I found a package outside the Great Wall, which contained dozens of dragonglass daggers."

The old scholar Aemon said slowly: "Dragon crystal is the folk name for obsidian, and the Valyrians call it 'Frost Fire'. Dragonstone Island has huge reserves of dragon crystal."

"The Iron Throne can be put aside first, but I must take Dragonstone immediately."

"That's Targaryen land!" Dany emphasized.

"After that, will His Majesty have soldiers stationed there?" Aemon worried.

"What does the old man think of Velaryon of Tidehead Island and Celtigar of Crab Island?" Dany asked.

"As long as you appear in front of them riding a dragon, the loyalty of those two families is completely fine, but during the Four Kings Rebellion, they followed Stannis to King's Landing and suffered heavy losses.

There is only one little Earl less than ten years old left on Chaotou Island; Earl Celtiga himself was defeated and captured, and was imprisoned in King's Landing by Duke Tywin. It is unknown whether he has returned to Crab Island. "

"A hundred or ten guards are enough. I have a dragon. Who would dare to send ships to besiege Dragonstone?" Dany said to herself.

"Aren't you going back to Slaver's Bay?"

"Hey, it's only a straight-line distance of more than 7000 kilometers. Given the danger of Dragonstone Island, you can't hold on for three days, right?"

"Uh..." Old Aemon was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Contact Dragonstone Island through magic?"

"Yes, the glass candle, Dr. Marwin has pledged his allegiance to me. He is not only a doctor of Citadel, but also a magician."

"'Magician' Marwyn?" Old Aemon looked strange, "I know, he has a bad reputation in the Academy City."

"By the way, what's the matter with Dr. Perestan? I found that your relationship is a bit complicated." The old bachelor asked again.

"Buzz—" Just as Dani was about to explain the plot of the Academy City to the old bachelor, the silver-gray light group suddenly filled the field of vision, and then exploded suddenly, and the light went out.

"Ah—" Jon yelled blankly, rubbed his eyes, and said blankly: "I, my obsidian burned, and I didn't touch it, and it suddenly lit up."

"This, the legend is true, glass candles can really be lit out of thin air?!" Old Aemon said incredulously.

Dany looked at Jon solemnly for a while, and said slowly: "Light the candle in less than half an hour, Jon Snow, your talent is very strong."

"The sooner you light the glass candle, the stronger your talent?" Jon grinned complacently, and asked, "Your Majesty, how long did it take you?"

"One look." Dani said lightly, lifting her bright and clean chin slightly.

"Uh, what do you mean?"

"I only looked at it once, and the candle lit up steadily and persistently. The light was so dazzling that it was so powerful that people more than ten miles away could clearly see the vision of heaven and earth. In the end, even the gods could see it." I was shocked to come to the world."

Dany's tone was flat, but Jon and Aemon's complexions were distorted, the corners of their mouths twitched, and their eyes were shining brightly: You blow it, keep blowing, whoever believes it is an idiot!

She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Don't you believe me?"

"It's too exaggerated. It's completely divorced from reality. It's impossible to believe it!" Old Aemon smacked his mouth and said fairly and justly.

Barristan said sternly: "Really, I was there at the time and fought a battle with the gods. At first I was going to rush up and hack him to death! Fortunately, His Majesty stopped me."

The old knight means: If I really rush up, I will probably be finished.I am alive to talk to you, thanks to the wisdom of Her Majesty the Queen, who stopped me.

But from Jon and Aemon's point of view, the once fearless and upright Barristan has completely learned badly. He not only flatters, but also speaks big words without a bottom line, and crazily puts gold on his face.

Hack the gods? !

Most people dare not brag about this kind of cowhide, but you, the legendary iron guard, said it without changing your face.

Jon decided not to expose the bullshit of the two, after all, they are big brothers, so he changed the subject and said, "Should I learn witchcraft?"

"Most skinchangers rely on instinct to communicate with animals. As long as you don't resist your identity as a wolf spirit, you should be able to find your direwolf easily. As for the meditation skills of skinchangers, there must be, but I don't."

Speaking of this, Dany's heart moved, and she smiled strangely: "Have you received any information from the glass candle?"

"Some strange runes," Jon thought.

"You can try to practice. Don't go out to guard the gate tonight, just stay in the hall, and I will lend you the glass candle."

Jon thought that the Dragon Queen had passed on his "Peerless Secret Code" to him, so he quickly agreed happily, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

I don't know what the consequences will be if the son of prophecy is changed to become a bound shadow warrior

"Your Majesty, I see that you have no trouble communicating with the dragon, are you also a skinchanger?" Barristan asked curiously.

"No! A skinchanger is a human soul that enters an animal's body and controls the body of a pet companion. Regardless of the pet's own will, the body is completely dominated by humans, just like a human being transformed into another form.

I control Dahei by instructions. He can fully understand what I mean, but he always maintains an independent will.

It's like I asked you to do something, you can understand it completely, but it's up to you to decide whether to execute it or not.You may obey, or you may refuse, or even obey.

And my soul cannot enter the bodies of beasts such as wolves, shadow lynxes, etc. Except for dragons, I cannot control other animals. "

"Skinchangers sound evil." Jon frowned.

"Occupation is neutral, whether evil or good depends on what you do."

Nephew, when you become a shadowbinder, you will understand how simple and kind a skinchanger is.

In the early morning of the next day, the wind stopped and the snow stopped, the sun shone on the earth, and the sky was clear blue. The Great Wall was like a huge crystal standing between the sky and the earth, reflecting a beautiful colorful halo.

What made the night watchman even more happy was that the army of wildlings did not attack again as Dany expected.

However, at Her Majesty's insistence, the Night Watchman reluctantly released a wildling captive.

The savage took away a parchment scroll stamped with the seal of the three-headed dragon, and wrote to the Dragon Queen to propose a negotiation request of "night watchman, savage, and dragon queen tripartite talks".

In view of the clear weather and high visibility today, Dani rode the big black and flew to the depths outside the Great Wall after breakfast, keeping the altitude above 1000 meters, preparing to search for the legendary ghosts.
