Chapter 274 Half a Year of Growth

"Are you ready to go back?" In the sauna built by Linde, Nymeria poured a spoonful of water on the heated goose-warming stones. As a burst of steam came out, she sat down on Linde again. Beside him, he suddenly asked.

"Yeah!" Linde nodded.

"When will you come back?" Nymeria asked again.

"I may stay in Westeros for the next few years." Linde answered firmly.

"Is it related to the White Walkers in the North?" Nymeria could feel that Lind's mood was getting more and more tense during this time, and there seemed to be only one person in the entire Westeros continent who could make Lind nervous.

Lind nodded and said: "If there are no accidents, this time I will go to the Great Wall to have a decisive battle with the White Walkers. No matter whether the battle goes well or not, I will come back in a few years."

Nymeria said without thinking, "I'll go with you."

"No, it is more important for you to stay here than to follow me to the continent of Westeros!" Lind shook his head and said seriously: "In case of defeat, we will definitely retreat to the continent of Essos. That’s our retreat.”

"Are you not sure?" Nymeria looked at Lind and asked in a deep voice.

Lind didn't answer, but stood up and motioned for Nymeria to follow him.

The two left the sauna, put on light clothes, and then led a team of Rhoynar guards, mounted their horses, and headed towards the nearest Lorne Hills.

Soon the group of people entered a primeval forest in the middle of the autumn forest. Linde stopped and motioned for everyone to wait. Not long after, the horses under everyone's crotches suddenly paced uneasily as if they had encountered a natural enemy. Later, he knelt down on the ground.

All the Rhoynar were surprised, because the war horses under their crotches were no ordinary war horses. These war horses were all high-quality Dothraki war horses. After special disturbing training, they would not be attacked even if they were attacked by ferocious beasts. Being frightened like this makes all four hooves weak.

But Nymeria was completely different from the Rhoynar people around her. At this moment, she felt that a mysterious creature with powerful power was quickly approaching here. The power of this mysterious creature was far beyond even the old man in the river. It couldn't be compared to it, but it was somewhat similar to the power of her mother Lorne she felt from the River Lorne on the day she received enlightenment.

Just as everyone got off their horses and looked at the forest in surprise and uncertainty, a strange giant dragon as big as a pterosaur flew out from above the forest, glided over Linde and the others, and streaked in the air. After passing through a graceful arc, he landed steadily in front of everyone.

"It's called Diltos, and he's my dragon." Lind introduced to the stunned Nymeria.

Nymeria has seen gluttons, sea monsters, and the old man in the river. She even owns a long-winged dragon mount, a mysterious creature that most people in this world have never seen in their lives. , she has seen them all, but the Diltos in front of her now makes her feel more magical than any mysterious creature she has seen in the past, as if it is the magic itself.

The slender figure, four legs and four wings, the marble-like body, and the majestic and elegant dragon head give people an extremely luxurious feeling. If you put this weird giant dragon in front of you with the glutton, the glutton will Like a vulgar savage, and the dragon in front of him is like a noble king.

"It's that dragon egg..." Nymeria immediately thought of something and asked.

"Yes." Linde nodded.

Nymeria frowned and asked again: "When was it hatched?"

"Before coming to Na Sa Star." Linde replied.

Nymeria glared at Linde angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "You have been hiding it so closely. It has been half a year and you haven't revealed a single word."

"Diltos is too special. There has never been such a giant dragon in this world. Bringing it to Na Sa Star will attract unnecessary attention." Lind shook his head and said: "And it cannot be fully Control your dragon's power. The power of the dragon half a year ago was dozens of times stronger than it is now. If it appeared on Na Sa Star, I'm afraid..."

"You should also tell me!" Nymeria complained rather.

At this time, Diltos suddenly let out a dull cry, which sounded like the sound of the mountain wind blowing through the forest and the trees swaying, or like the sound of a heavy drum.

It was clear that they were just sounds that didn't mean anything, but Nymeria somehow understood the meaning contained in the sounds, and asked in a confirming manner: "You asked him not to say it, right?"

Diltos nodded and made that special sound again to convey his meaning.

"Don't like me?" After Nymeria heard this voice, she couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at Diltos with a strange expression and said, "You are really direct."

Diltos raised his head, looked down at Nymeria, and let out a majestic cry.

"It's not just me. Apart from Lind, you don't like all the other humans in this world?" Nymeria understood the meaning of the cry and couldn't help but frowned. She turned to look at Lind and asked, "You don't care. Leave it alone?"

"It is different from Glory and Glutton. It is my companion and has no master-slave relationship with me, just like my relationship with Spark, the Son of the Forest. I will not restrict its ideas and freedom. It also has no master-slave relationship with me." It won’t affect me with its thoughts.” Linde smiled and said, “That’s good, I like this kind of relationship very much.”

Diltos also lowered his head and nuzzled Lind affectionately, and Lind also reached out and touched its neck.

Seeing this scene, Nymeria couldn't help but feel a little jealous, and then asked seemingly casually: "Is it a female?"

When Lind heard this, he turned to look at Nymeria with a strange expression. After all, they were an old couple. He must have heard the reason why Nymeria asked, which made him couldn't help but smile and said: "Gu Long is Genderless."

Diltos obviously heard the meaning of Nymeria's words, and immediately looked at Nymeria with an extremely obvious look of disdain.

Nymeria also felt inexplicably embarrassed. She avoided Diltos's eyes and said: "It should still be just a baby dragon now. You can't even fly on it. It can help you resist the White Walkers." ?"

Lind did not answer Nymeria's question, but said to Diltos: "Let me see how much progress you have made this month."

As Linde finished speaking, Diltos spread his wings, and his slender body instantly flew into the air.

The attentive Nymeria immediately discovered that Deltos did not flap his wings like a long-winged dragon while running for a certain distance before flying up. Instead, he just spread his wings and flew on the spot without even flapping. Once in the air, it was flying extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye it would have flown into the clouds in the sky.

When Nymeria was still wondering how Diltos could fly, the white clouds in the sky instantly turned into black clouds, and then countless lightnings shuttled through the clouds.

Just then, Diltos emerged from the dark clouds, his body wrapped in lightning, and then swooped down. The lightning fell with its body, and it was like a sharp sword falling from the sky and piercing the forest ahead. , countless trees were directly shattered by lightning, and more trees were ignited by lightning and turned into blazing fire.

And Diltos, who transformed into a lightning dragon, flew over the burning forest, opened its dragon's mouth, and a white mist-like dragon flame spurted out from its mouth and fell on the burning forest, instantly killing everyone. The forest froze into ice sculptures, and the flames ignited by the lightning were immediately extinguished.

Then a dragon roar was heard that penetrated the sky and the earth. All the dark clouds in the sky turned into lightning and fell on Diltos. Diltos's body completely disappeared and turned into a dragon composed of thunder and lightning, and then turned into a dragon. From virtual to solid, the thunder and lightning also disappeared in the process. Diltos returned to his original appearance and slowly fell from the sky, landing back to where he was before, as if he had never left.

"God of natural disasters! God of natural disasters!" At this time, a Rhoynar guard couldn't help but let out a cry of awe, and knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head. The other Rhoynar guards also turned towards Dill. Toth knelt down.

Although these Rhoynar people all believe in Mother Lorne, they are also in awe of the God of Scourge. The power Diltos showed just now is very similar to the legend of the God of Scourge. In addition, Diltos himself The power of the ancient dragon made these ordinary people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts, and then knelt down to pray.

Although the behavior of these Rhoynar guards was normal, Lind seemed very dissatisfied. In his opinion, as a close guard, he must endure his fear and dutifully protect the objects of his protection, even when facing gods. , instead of kneeling down to pray.

Therefore, he frowned and said to Nymeria, who was still surprised, "Your guards don't look very good. I'll send a group of redemption nuns over!"

"No need! I'm fine as I am now." Nymeria shook her head, rejecting Lind's kindness, and then asked in surprise: "Was it using magic just now?"

Hearing this question, before Lind could answer, Diltos gave Nymeria a roll of his eyes, as if asking what it was if it wasn't magic.

Although he didn't make a sound, Diltos's eyes were too clear, and the meaning he wanted to convey was so clear that he didn't need words at all to understand its meaning.

A giant dragon gave herself a roll of the eyes, which made Nymeria feel inexplicably funny, but she still looked at Lind and waited for Lind's answer.

Linde answered seriously and said: "It is not a giant dragon, but an ancient dragon. It is very different from the giant dragon. The giant dragon can only breathe fire, but the ancient dragon can use magic, and the dragon flames it sprays can also follow It changes with the use of magic." As he spoke, he turned to look at Dirtos and asked, "You just used two powers. What about the other two powers?"

Diltos nodded, and through Linde's spiritual connection, told Linde that only when he grew bigger and fully mastered the power given to him by the first two wings, could he master the power contained in the latter pair of wings. the power of.

According to it, the other two powers are too powerful and can be used, but they will get out of control. By then, the entire forest may be destroyed by the out-of-control power, and even Linde will not be able to take care of it.

Lind didn't ask Dirtos anymore. After getting along with him for six months, he found that Diltos was very intelligent and had his own methods and progress for his strength training. He didn't need to ask any more questions. .

Lind turned to look at Nymeria and said: "You don't have to worry now. With Diltos and my own power, unless I meet a real god, even if I face a white ghost The army will be fine."

Nymeria also nodded in approval, completely letting go of any worries about Lind's safety.

Linde reminded again: "After I leave, you remember to continue to stock up on food and plant food. If I predict correctly, there will be a long winter in a few years, and it will be a very long winter. Here on the Essos continent I’m afraid it will also be covered with ice and snow, so you need to prepare early.”

"I understand." Nymeria nodded.

Lind turned to look at Diltos and directly ordered: "I'm leaving and going back to Westeros. You go back with me."

Diltos didn't object, but it suddenly thought of something and roared at Linde.

"Before going back, are you going to the Valyrian Free Fortress?" After hearing Diltos' roar, Nymeria instantly understood what Diltos meant, and couldn't help but question: "It's like the seventh floor. It is like a hell, with volcanoes constantly erupting, and dust and mist lingering all year round. It is said that the volcano there leads to the seven levels of hell, and countless demons ran along the volcano to the ground. In the past, countless people sneaked in but did not come out alive. Only those who rode Belle. Arya Targaryen of Reen left alive, but there is no difference between her alive and dead. She died in pain in the end, and now you are going to that hellish place..."

Lind interrupted Nymeria and said with relief: "I am different from them. Diltos is not a dragon like Balerion. In fact, even if Diltos did not make a request, I will return to West this time. I plan to go there to take a look on my way to Luo.”

Nymeria ignored Lind's words, turned to Diltos, and asked, "Why do you want to go to Valyria Free Fortress?"

Diltos had no intention of answering Nymeria's question, but deliberately raised his head without glancing at Nymeria.

Seeing Diltos like this, Nymeria was both amused and annoyed. She also knew that once Lind made a decision, he would not change it, so she did not continue to ask questions and chose to believe Lind and Diel. The power of Toth.

Afterwards, Lind did not let Diltos go to Na Sa Star, but let him go to Dagger Lake to wait for him.

After returning to Na Sa, Lind and his children enjoyed the last rare moment. The next day, he put on the armor and sword of the lost knight, left Na Sa, and went to Dagger Lake. , met up with Diltos, and flew in the direction of Valyria Free Fortress on Diltos.
