Only Daenerys, who knew the name of Drogon the Dragon God of the Grasslands, had a vague guess in her heart, but she only thought that Drogon was revered by the Dothraki like other gods, but she did not expect that Drogon already had the same things as other gods.
But no matter what, she was very happy that Drogon was able to scare away the Kui Lizard, and she was no longer so afraid of those mysterious, unknown and weird things.
The arrival of the lizard did not affect everyone's interest. After the food and drinks came, everyone raised their glasses to wish Daenerys a smooth trip to Westeros and hope she could regain the Iron Throne as soon as possible.
With forelimbs, Drogon no longer used his wings to roll up the wine glass. Instead, he held the goblet, flew up and clinked glasses with everyone, and also clinked glasses with Daenerys alone.
Everyone knows that Drogon occasionally drinks, especially Tyrion.
Volantis grows a lot of beets, and the food tends to be sweet, even the red wine is sweet. Everyone was not used to drinking it, so they asked the waiter to change a few types of wine. Finally, they chose a sweet and sour red wine.
It was a rare occasion for them to get together, and except for Barristan, everyone drank a few more glasses. Even Daenerys was a little tipsy. The most sober among them was Drogon.
After the transformation, it was very difficult for him to get slightly tipsy. Even if he wanted to drink the strongest liquor, he might have to drink ten or so jars before he could feel the effect.
While Drogon and his companions were drinking, the Quai Lizard returned to the Temple of the Lord of Light in Volantis and asked the altar guards to activate the altar.
The guards didn't understand why Queisi, a shadow binder from Asshai, would activate the altar at night, but they did not stop her, a devout believer in the Lord of Light. They let her enter the altar and ordered people to bring in the sacrifice. Shadow binders also have the right to enjoy the sacrifices provided by the temple.
After lighting the sacrifice, Shadowbinder reported how Drogon had made her feel today, and expressed the impossible guess in her mind.
Not long after she finished her report, the originally calm flames suddenly shook violently. Seeing the scene in the flames, she was so shocked that she almost fell to the ground. She was stunned for a while before she walked out of the altar to find the temple priest Benero.
Daenerys' fleet set out again after resting in Volantis for two days.
Less than a day's journey ahead, they arrived at the Stonehenge Islands, which were full of reefs. For this section of waterway, Nesiso specially asked an experienced helmsman to follow Daenerys to help them through this dangerous passage.
Legend has it that twelve thousand years ago the Stepstones were not what they are today, but a road bridge connecting the two continents of Westeros and Essos - the Arm of Dorne.
More than 10,000 years ago, the ancestors of the North invaded Westeros through the Arm of Dorne. At that time, in order to stop the invasion of the ancestors, the masters of Westeros, the Children of the Forest, used powerful magic to break the Arm of Dorne and form today's Stepstone Islands.
Drogon didn't know whether the legend was true. He had carefully sensed the Stone Archipelago when passing by it, but did not detect any unusual smell.
I don't know if the legend is false or time has passed too long, but the aura has long dissipated.
The fleet safely passed the dangerous passage, and ahead was the wide sea between the other two cities of the nine free trade cities, Rees and Myr, without having to worry about reefs.
......
In the weirwood cave outside the Wall, Bran learned the knowledge of the greenseers from the three-eyed crow Brynden and also learned the cause of his father Eddard's death in King's Landing.
I saw how my mother and brother Robb escaped from the Red Wedding in a panic, and how my two sisters worked together to kill Petyr Littlefinger.
We also saw the reason for the birth of the first White Walker. The Children of the Forest were defeated in the battle against the First Men, and even the Green Prophets who broke the Arm of Dorne could not continue to stop the invasion.
In order to find a better way to fight against the First Men, the Children of the Forest tied the captured First Men to weirwoods, inserted a dragon crystal dagger into their hearts, and then used magic to transform them into undead creatures called White Walkers, commanding them to kill them.
At the beginning, this method was indeed very useful. It forced the First Men and the Children of the Forest to sign a peace agreement on the Thousand Faces Island. The covenant was reached, and Westeros ushered in four thousand years of peace.
Later, for some unknown reason, the White Walkers suddenly lost control and turned around to attack the Children of the Forest and the First Men. After thousands of years of struggle, the First Men and the Children of the Forest built the Wall to resist the invasion of the White Walkers after repelling the attack.
Bran has not heard from his mother and sister Sansa since he escaped from the Dreadfort. It was through the Greensight that he understood the causes and consequences of the series of major changes in his family.
After reviewing the past through the Green Vision time and time again, he no longer had the impulsiveness he had before and became more stable. He knew that he could not help the family at all now and could only continue to accept Brynden's teachings with peace of mind.
At this moment, he was rolling his eyes and traveling through the long river of history in the green vision.
Bran knows that the White Walkers, humanity's greatest enemy today, are approaching the Wall little by little, so he decides to go and see where they are going.
He did it as soon as he thought of it, and his figure immediately appeared in the snowy wilderness outside the Great Wall of Despair.
Standing on the white snow, he turned around and looked around, but did not find any trace of the White Walkers. With a thought, he came to a farther place. He had become more and more fond of the feeling of roaming freely between heaven and earth.
He stopped again and looked into the distance, but still didn't see any White Walkers. Just when he was about to change location again, he suddenly turned his head back.
Several figures were walking out from the edge of the forest that he had just confirmed. As the figures became more and more, Bran could gradually see the appearance of the White Walkers.
They were all dressed in tattered clothes, their bodies were in varying degrees of decay, and some were severely damaged.
But they still walked forward step by step. Their damaged bodies just made them walk crookedly and a little slower than normal humans.
As more and more White Walker troops walked out of the forest, Bran couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
He had personally entered Hodor's consciousness and fought against the White Walkers. He knew how fast their seemingly staggering steps would become when they were chasing humans.
Just as he was thinking about how humans should deal with the White Walkers, he suddenly felt something and turned to look to the right. A White Walker wearing light armor and with blue eyes was staring in his direction.
Did he discover himself?
This reminded Bran of the first time he used Greensight to spy on the black dragon, and the warning from Brynden the Three-Eyed Raven.
Certain powerful entities are able to interfere with the Green Vision, thus affecting the Greenseer's reality.
Thinking of this, Bran no longer dared to stay where he was. He spread his legs and ran away, using his mind to exit the green vision as he ran.
But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get out.
In reality, "Bran! Wake up Bran!" Meera shouted anxiously as she looked at Bran who was shaking constantly.
In the cave, the three-eyed crow Brynden also noticed Bran's abnormality and immediately entered the green vision.
After Brynden entered, he came to Bran, glanced at the White Walkers and the Night King who were about to rush over, and pulled Bran out.
