Chapter 296 Something is wrong in the north
"Dani, you can't be wrong when you say that."
Clay did not deny what Daenerys said, after all, this is an option in itself.
It is said that killing one person is a crime, and killing ten thousand people is a hero. If you slaughter nine million, you will be called the hero among the heroes.
No matter what, kill him till the end, Haiyan Heqing.
But as fierce as Aegon I Targaryen the Conqueror, he did not just kill after war.
If not, then Meraxes and Queen Rhaenys Targaryen killed Dorne, and Aegon would not be able to compromise. The hatred of killing his wife is irreconcilable, and the Iron Throne will use all the troops of the country to fight with Dorne. Life and death.
"The thing is, you're showing them your majesty and it's just a temporary issue."
"Let me put it another way, do you think if you burn a few people to death and leave hundreds or thousands alive, how much of a deterrent will it have to those who oppose you?"
"Don't underestimate the power of time."
"This is not a sign of dominance. On the contrary, burning people is an extreme method to maintain a shaky rule."
"but……"
Clay shrugged and smiled:
"We haven't talked about governance yet. Right now, we need to unite as many people as possible and get more people who like us to deal with our fewer and fewer enemies. This is the right thing to do."
"As for the future, when your black-backed red dragon flag and my golden halberd mermaid flag can smoothly reach every castle in Westeros, it will be up to you to decide who you want to deal with."
The topic was stopped here, and Daenerys did not continue to argue. She was just a little unhappy. After all, in theory, the first person to raise a flag of rebellion was the Northerners.
The little queen doesn't like this group of northerners who think about their single lives all day long, but can't live without the blood transfusions from the south.
Although in theory, her husband is also a northerner.
But...people are different.
Early the next morning, Clay took Daenerys and continued their journey.
Everyone in the North knelt, but the Stark family, the Lord, did not kneel.
But this can't be blamed on them, after all, they are fully prepared, and Robb Stark is a member of the Stark family in the army.
Once he died, no one knew about it, and it was impossible to perform the Gallic military salute from the air.
Therefore, the purpose of Clay's trip, in addition to returning Robb Stark's body, was to take this opportunity to show off his power.
Although it has a bad reputation because it is bullying Catelyn Tully, an orphan and widowed mother, he does extraordinary things in extraordinary times.
Clay can't wait until Bran Stark grows up.
Speaking of which, I haven't contacted that crow for a long time, and the threats outside the Great Wall are approaching every second.
Winter is coming, and the troubles in the land of eternal winter are getting stronger day by day.
Clay knew that he had to face those things. This time he went to the north and took a look at the situation.
If I don't send the dragon in anger, the Great Wall of Despair should be able to withstand it for a long time.
perhaps?
The dragon is very fast. Although it is impossible to fly to the Great Wall in the blink of an eye, it should be no problem to get to Winterfell today.
Although he was familiar with it, Clay didn't want to have a corpse behind him all the time.
Just send him to the tomb of the historical Starks as soon as possible and bury him.
The Stark family sword Ice Cray was also brought along.
He didn't want this thing. He captured a handful when he fought against the Corbray family.
After looking at it, Clay mainly regarded this thing as a research object.
Things that cannot be mass-produced are actually of little use.
"Clay, don't we need to go to White Harbor or the Twins first?"
During the break, Daenerys asked Clay.
"Um?"
Clay didn't react.
"Um...I mean, not going to meet your family?"
Daenerys actually feels like meeting Clay's family. Although Clay's Dragon King bloodline was given to her in an unexpected way, it is undeniable that Manderly's surname is still passed down to them.
They are also considered relatives of Daenerys.
The little queen knew very well that her relationship with Clay would never lead to separation even if they were not at peace in the future.
The last two dragon masters in this world have no reason to separate.
Since the death of her brother Viserys, the concept of family, especially elders, has been something that has always been absent for Daenerys.
She didn't know why she had this idea, but she really wanted to meet Clay's family.
"It won't be necessary for the time being. It will be a long time later. There is no rush at this time."
"Furthermore, in the family, only my grandfather knows that I can control dragons. He was also fully involved in the growth of Galesos. Due to the need for confidentiality, I did not tell the rest of them."
"If we rush there, we may not get the effect you want."
Clay shook his head and rejected Daenerys' proposal.
Moreover, it may not be a good choice for them to take Robb Stark's body to visit their family.
Now that Clay said so, Daenerys didn't insist anymore.
The two of them ate hastily. It was impossible to expect to get anything good out of this wilderness.
Neither of them knew how to cook, so they had to make do with each other.
After resting, the two giant dragons flew into the sky again.
Soon, they crossed the narrowest neck in north and south Westeros.
From the air, only the continuous marshland can be seen, and the dilapidated towers of Cailin Bay can hardly be seen clearly.
Daenerys surveyed the unfamiliar land in front of her. She didn't know why, but the moment she crossed the Gulf of Cailin, she always felt a little uncomfortable.
This is not pathological discomfort, such as the discomfort caused by a cold or fever.
It's a feeling of confusion all over the body.
She wondered if Clay felt this way.
Drogon underneath him also roared, and it was obvious that he wasn't feeling very well either.
Galesos flew in front of her and Drogon without making a sound.
At first, Daenerys just felt that she couldn't handle the cold air in the north. Seeing that Clay didn't react, she gritted her teeth and endured it.
But after a while, she found that she could no longer accept this sense of disorder.
She felt the world spinning before her eyes and the blood all over her body was throbbing.
After realizing something was wrong, she immediately ordered Drogon to roar and signal to Galesos in front, and then controlled Drogon to gradually descend in height.
She landed on a snowfield next to a forest of sentinel trees.
Of course Clay noticed something strange about her.
So he let Galesos also carry him to land next to Drogon.
He also felt some unusual feelings, and Galesos told him that it felt the same.
Jumping off the dragon's back and coming to Daenerys, who was sitting on a stone, holding her head and taking a deep breath, Clay frowned and asked:
"What's wrong, Dany?"
The little queen suppressed her dizziness, raised her head and glanced at Clay, who had a calm expression, and her voice was trembling:
"I felt very uncomfortable, like someone had completely messed with my head."
"The same goes for Drogon. It said it felt like there was a powerful enemy lingering around it."
After hearing this, Clay was a little confused.
Why are his feelings so different from those of Daenerys?
It shouldn't be.
They are all human beings, what’s the difference?
He stretched out his hand to catch a snowflake that fell in his palm, watching it slowly melt into a small drop of water under the warmth of his palm.
He realized something was wrong.
"Did you feel this way as soon as you crossed Cailin Bay?"
Clay asked.
Daenerys covered her forehead with a pained expression.
"Yes... that's right. After I saw the swamp, I felt uncomfortable very quickly."
really!
Clay understood.
Like him, he also had a strange feeling of being out of place after entering the border of the North.
how to say……
It was as if the entire Northern Territory did not welcome his arrival and was slightly rejecting him.
There was a slight discomfort, but compared to Daenerys's reaction, it was almost negligible.
what 's wrong?
Clay couldn't understand.
This is very unreasonable. It seems that there were no big changes in the northern border before I left last time. Why did it suddenly become like this?
Something must have happened.
Looking around, Clay noticed the woods nearby that looked quiet and peaceful in the wind and snow.
etc……
Tree.
Heart tree.
That old man from the three-eyed crow?
Clay seemed to have figured something out.
He came to a sentinel tree and spread his palms.
Close your eyes slightly and communicate with the magic in your body.
The magic power that had been dormant in his body began to move.
With this movement, Clay saw a problem.
Stagnant, very obvious stagnant feeling.
It's like the operation of a machine. Without the lubrication of engine oil, the steel directly bites together.
He understood why Daenerys felt the way she did.
His face instantly became serious.
Clay understood that the root of everything in front of him must come from the three-eyed crow in the cave outside the wall.
But he couldn't understand, when did His power become so strong?
This already covers the entire Northern Territory in the standard sense. People like Daenerys, whose blood has fire magic, will be regarded as... well... heretics as long as they step into the land of the Northern Territory, which will disturb her. magic.
What is this bastard doing?
Are you crazy?
Clay's face turned ugly.
He returned to Daenerys and stretched out his hand. His magic resisted the obstruction and slowly covered the surface of Daenerys' body.
This is not a big drain on him, after all, he has had the power of a witcher for so long.
Sure enough, after his magic isolated Daenerys from contact with the outside world, Daenerys's expression suddenly became much more relaxed.
But the aftereffects of dizziness were still there. She held onto Clay's arm and stood up unsteadily.
"Clay…what you did, I feel better."
"Okay, let's not say so much. Let's go back to the south of Jingze first. I have something to tell you."
"……good."
The two climbed onto the dragon's back again and turned around to head south.
Anyway, we have just crossed the Neck and it’s not very far, so it’s just a matter of stepping on the accelerator.
Ten minutes later, Clay and Daenerys landed beside the King's Road near the Neck.
This time the experience was very obvious.
As long as you leave the northern land, this uncomfortable feeling will quickly dissipate.
Her face improved visibly, and Daenerys no longer had to take deep breaths like she was suffering from altitude sickness.
Clay removed his magic.
Something is wrong in the north.
Something is seriously wrong.
He looked at the gloomy sky in the north, and his heart kept sinking.
