The king on the Great Wall

"Due to the exhaustion of magic power, my mother, who should have been able to easily survive for thousands of years, died at the age of just over 100 years... and I, although also troubled and tortured by the thin magic power, have easily lived for thousands of years without seeing anything. The signs of aging, not to mention the signs of approaching lifespan." R'hllor turned his head to meet Iger's gaze, satisfied with the awe and retreat in the man's eyes.At least, this time he didn't have the courage to try to offend himself in the dream, "All the clues point to one result, the other half of my blood should come from a powerful human being—well, I prefer to sum it up like this : My father, should be a powerful human god."

Chapter 483 Doomsday catastrophe?

Indeed, if the "aunt" of the lady in front of her...had the power to exile her mother, a real dragon, from the original world, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a god.It is conceivable that the younger brother of such a god-level existence, that is, the father of R'hllor - obviously cannot be a mortal.However, I don't know what kind of deep hatred caused this "fairy" aunt to continue to ruthlessly banish her from the world she was in even though her siblings were pregnant with her own niece?

Is it the racial conflict between humans and the high-level dragon race, or some other complicated emotional entanglement?

"My aunt fell in love with my younger brother, and she thought she would be his wife and the mother of his child." R'hllor didn't know if he saw through Iger's doubts, or if he planned to explain everything clearly, in short, he didn't let him think about it at all. "But my father still refused to accept it and insisted on finding a spouse other than blood relatives. Under such circumstances, when the news that my mother was pregnant with me reached her ears, my aunt's anger was suddenly ignited." All the anger inevitably triggered everything that happened later—why did you make that strange expression? Don’t you think that beings as powerful and transcendent as gods are also subject to your weird and messy ethical constraints and laws? Is it restricted?"

She shrugged her shoulders, as if she didn't want to spend too much time on the topic of such family scandals: "I, half-dragon and half-god, showed an incredible growth rate in the initial stage of my life. The boundary that I have not crossed is waiting for me not far ahead, and it is faintly visible - it is only a matter of time before I touch it, and it is not difficult to cross it. However, I, who was going straight to that threshold, was at the end of my life. When I was a hundred years old, I began to encounter a strange situation: I clearly felt that my own potential had only been released a little bit, but the growth rate of my realm and strength began to stagnate, and I was stuck on a bottleneck that should not exist. I searched for it in many ways. The reason, even at the expense of disturbing my mother who was sleeping and convalescing to ask her questions, finally came up with the answer after several searches: the problem is not with me, what prevents me from stepping into a higher level is external factors - the existence of me The world, whether it is the energy level or the laws of nature, can no longer accommodate more powerful individuals."

The fault is not me, but the world?Should I say that this kind of thinking is paranoid, or is it too confident?

Iger is not Tyrion, he knows when to joke and when he has to hold back his words - he didn't sneer, just nodded, looked at each other quietly, knowing that there must be more to come.

"Don't ask me why I have to pursue a higher realm and can't calm down and live a good life. I won't answer such stupid questions. I don't know how to describe this feeling of being restrained and breathless to you, a mortal, but an example Can help you understand my dilemma: the same fish can grow in small rivers and lakes, and the size they can reach is different-but I was raised in a fish tank! The resources and size of the fish tank determine my This world cannot carry and support my instinctive pursuit and desire to continue to a higher level. In this case, I have no choice but to break the fish tank and jump into rivers, lakes and seas.”

With a move in Iger's heart, I finally understood: why when I asked if there was any chance and way to go back, the other party told me not to be impatient-it turned out that I was not the only one who had similar thoughts!

"This is what you said before: because you are too busy to deal with Hanshen's matter?" Iger asked cautiously, subconsciously using honorifics

"That's right, I'm looking for a way to reopen the passage between worlds, and return to the world where my mother lived before being exiled and where my father lived. A world that can breed and support such powerful beings as my parents, whether it's Xiaohe , a lake, or a sea, it's never worse than a fish tank."

Sure enough, R'hllor was also looking for a way to return to "home", but since today's conversation can happen, it means that she probably hasn't succeeded yet.

"Aren't you worried about your aunt's threat? Since she was able to sneak attack and exile your mother out of jealousy, if she sees you again, it's hard to guarantee that she won't..."

"Don't think you're the only one who is smart." R'hllor snorted, "Of course I have prepared a countermeasure—as long as I survive the most dangerous stage of entry and family search without being discovered, when my father is found, I don't believe that In the truth, he will allow his sister to continue to hurt his daughter. But the truth is, the key difficulty is not 'what to do after returning to that world', but - 'how to go back?'."

Yes, how to go back?

Although the content of the discussion seemed to have gotten off topic with R'hllor's story, Iger finally got to the part he was interested in.

"According to my mother, 'traveling between worlds' was an independent discipline in her original world, an esoteric skill that few people can practice proficiently but can indeed master. Unfortunately, her specialization direction is not Not here, so I don't know anything about it... which means I don't get guidance or support from her, I have to do it all by myself. Not long after she passed away, I started this huge project: trying to live without With the help of others, independently research and master the spells of the space system."

"It took me decades to figure out what space was supposed to be, and another decade to figure out how and how to put energy on it...but when I finally became self-taught in this field The tree I built, after some calculations, I came to the conclusion: the magic power needed to tear apart the space is far beyond the limit of my strength in this world——If you want to break the fish tank, you need more powerful power; but if you want to strengthen Strength, but I have to leave this fish tank that suppresses my potential first... I am trapped in an endless loop that cannot be solved. The invisible, intangible, invisible but unbreakable wall of space is like a cage. Trapped here, I can't move at all."

Iger took a deep breath, feeling helpless for the bad result, but also stunned for the other party's hard work in trying to leave this world: that is, half god and half dragon, she was born almost immortal, so she has endless time and energy to die Knock on such a... almost hopeless job.

I don't know if it's this boring and boring research process that made her gradually have the situation she has now: she is obviously chattering and has a strong desire to confide, but she insists on putting on a "reward" coat, and asks for it from time to time. A craziness that forces people to ask themselves questions to keep the conversation going?

"Did you give up in the end?" Iger, who gradually felt the character of the other party, began to let go of his courage and join in the interaction.

"No, the bad calculation conclusion really made me depressed for a long time...Fortunately, the worst thing I have is time. After temporarily putting aside this idea and turning my attention to other aspects, I have also carried out some time in other fields When my studies and gropings reached a certain height, things wonderfully fulfilled the proverb my sons coined: 'Every road leads to Valyria'."

In a tone without any emotional ups and downs, R'hllor lightly recounted his bumping and recovery journey that was enough for a mortal to die back and forth a dozen times.

"First, I found the exact spot where my mother entered when she was exiled to this world...at a point in the sky in the Sea of ​​Smoke between what is now the Land of Long Summer and what is left of Valyria. There The space of my mother was banished and suffered severe damage. Although it has been repaired by the self-healing ability of the space, the degree of stability is still much lower than that of any other place, and it is the easiest point to break through. After calculation, although in The magic power needed to tear apart the space is still above the level I can achieve, but at least it is no longer two orders of magnitude worse than before, but only a few times left, so I at least see the dawn of solving the problem."

"After that, some explorations and attempts I made to pass the time in the field of non-space magic made me gradually realize a weakness in my own character: because of the strength of my bloodline, I was able to solve all difficulties by relying on my own strength since I was a child , to scare off any enemy, and to strive for everything I want... But because of this, I believe and rely too much on my own individual strength, but instead ignore the convenience and assistance that tools and helpers can bring. I always Subconsciously fall into a misunderstanding: If I can't do something, then this thing is impossible to achieve."

She waved the planet in front of her and adjusted it from Westeros to another angle, so that the Valyrian Peninsula of the Essos continent was in the center of the field of vision—and what Iger saw Unlike previous maps, this Valyrian peninsula is complete.

"After realizing this misconception and working hard to overcome it, everything suddenly became clear: I really couldn't tear apart the space by casting magic alone, but with the help of pre-arranging, building spell enhancements and buildings, any spellcaster They can rely on external forces to cast amplified and strengthened specific spells on specific targets at specific locations, making the spell strength far exceed the limit that an individual can achieve! Such complicated means are useless in normal life and combat. Because casting magic with a fixed facility requires lengthy preparation steps and cannot deal with accidents. However, when the target is a space crack that 'can neither hide nor escape', it can be used."

"After decades of in-depth study of auxiliary magic, I finally designed a super-sized magic circle to absorb the free energy gathered between the heavens and the earth to enhance the space-based spells I want to cast. If it can be successfully completed and Putting it into operation, the energy intensity it can generate will be enough to tear apart any space cracks that have been opened... Well, the corresponding price is that it requires astronomical manpower and countless magic material resources to complete this arrangement. It is definitely not something that can be achieved by an individual, no matter how strong. This should be a big problem that hinders my progress, but what is interesting is: in the hundreds of years I have been tossing back and forth to find a way, my heirs, my heirs' heirs , the sons of the sons of the sons... Relying on the advantages of reproduction and half-dragon and half-god blood, they quietly established a huge "Varerian Freedom Fortress" without me knowing it. country, and almost conquered all the number-ranked native civilizations in the known world without my help at all, and created a huge, complete and efficient ruling machine, which can just become my huge idea The perfect help and boost."

"Under the persecution of my identity as the ancestor, my descendants captured countless laborers from all over the world, plundered and collected a mountain of magic items and spell-casting materials... In the end, I took the fourteen fire peaks as the formation Now, with the vast plains in the hinterland of Valyria as the base, a huge space tearing circle that cannot be seen from one end to the other has been built." R'hllor tapped his finger, and the Valyrian Peninsula under their feet , the position of a series of tall mountains lights up a huge circle around the mountains: "At the perfect time when the magic tide reached its peak, I activated this project that has been tossed for thousands of years, and the construction of light engineering has been carried out for dozens of years. The huge magic circle in the past year has drained almost half of the world's magic power, released a space magic far beyond the limit of my ability, and severely tore open the space rift caused by my mother when she entered this world."

Looking at the complete Valyrian Peninsula drawn by R'hllor, and recalling the other version of the map of the ice and fire world he saw before and after crossing, Iger suddenly felt a chill behind his back: he remembered two maps What is the difference between them—the center of the super transversal circle that the woman in front of her claimed to have built, the Fourteen Fire Peaks and the surrounding area should now be a vast ocean called the Sea of ​​Smoke, densely populated with islands!

A shocking conclusion popped into Iger's mind instantly: the "doomsday catastrophe" that led to the destruction of the Fortress of Freedom may not have been caused by natural disasters, but man-made disasters!

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and asked cautiously to confirm his guess: "Is it...then something happened to the magic circle, which triggered the unprecedented violent eruption of the Fourteen Flame Peaks...and caused part of the Valyrian Peninsula to sink. into the bottom of the sea, and the Fortress of Liberty fell from here on?"

-

Chapter 484 Natural Disaster?Man-made disaster!

"I guessed wrong, and it's just the opposite." The corner of R'hllor's mouth curled into a mocking smile, although it was not intended to be charming, but it had the charm of turning all living beings upside down, "Of course the original design of the magic circle was flawed. , but decades of long construction time have given me countless opportunities to find problems and solve them to eliminate the possibility of accidents. After several revisions, the magic circle is close to perfection, and it is running well after startup. Ripples appeared under the shock, and the power enough to destroy the world was gathered on the crack created when my mother entered, and was finally ignited by the magic circle, tearing the space apart like piercing a piece of torn paper, and the opened passage was bigger than I expect it to be several times larger, even enough for my sons to ride across on dragons."

"Then... what's the problem?"

"There is no problem with the magic circle, and it did open the door to another world, but the opposite world is not the world I imagined... but a world that doesn't even distinguish between the sky and the earth, hideous and desolate like hell, although it is indeed full of energy, But I don't want to be empty."

"Eh?" Iger couldn't react in time for this series of twists and turns, and he didn't manage his expression at all, "Could it be that you just rushed to open that crack, but forgot to set something in the magic circle that can... choose and Anchor the function of the opposite world?"

"Do I look like an idiot?" R'hllor scowled again in displeasure, "Not only did I choose the crack that my mother opened when she entered, but I also used a part of her remains as a key directional component, Thinking of this two-pronged approach, even if the leading position is not accurate, it will not be too far away... But I don't know if the barriers of the strong demon world are more stable and difficult to shake, or my aunt has set up some kind of defense and resistance space on the opposite side The means of magic prevented me from going home, and the energy released by the magic circle broke through the barriers of this world, but was blocked and deflected in the world on the other side and failed to penetrate."

"If it's just that, the opened channel is connected to another irrelevant random world, that's not too bad - I'll close the magic circle, find out the key to the problem and wait for the next suitable time to start and try again The trouble is: I never expected anything: there are races in the universe who "invade other worlds" as a daily life." The woman frowned, as if she was also annoyed by the unbearable past: "Fa The array signal was captured by a group of demons who were looking for targets and looking forward to looting and draining the next world, and they cast spells to induce them into their world... The dimensional passage I planned to use to go home has become a place where they can easily attack The door—I opened it myself.”

A race that regards invading other worlds as a daily life, or a demon?Iger was dumbfounded: Eldest sister... No, ancestor, didn't you provoke the Burning Legion?

"When the first group of demons crossed the tunnel and entered this world, I hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem. With the help of countless descendants who watched the magic circle start--the dragon masters of the core family of Valyrian Freedom Fortress , I easily wiped out all future offenders... But when I tried to close the magic circle, I found a bad situation: the magic circle stopped operating, but the passage connecting the two worlds did not disappear, but stabilized , and there is even a faint tendency to expand.”

Open a door that won't close?Even in his dream, Iger couldn't help his scalp tingling: After all, what the woman in front of him was talking about was an accident related to the world he was living in.

"It turns out that the first wave of demons who fought against me were just scouts and cannon fodder to investigate the situation. The demons who are used to invading other worlds will never make any low-level mistakes. They sent a small group of people to die to confirm this. After the world has the value of invading and the ability to fight back, I no longer act rashly. Instead, while securing the passage, I called the real main force of the invasion. I played with a group of experts who are more familiar with and better at space magic for a while, and tried my best They also failed to close the passage... When the second wave of attacks came, those who crossed the passage were covered with clouds and covered the sun, far surpassing the first wave in both number and strength. It was an incredible confrontation: I have With the power of the ceiling of this world, my sons have also conquered most of Essos after a long battle. It is by no means a soft fruit to pinch when they have the home court advantage. Unfortunately, the enemies seem to be endless. Every time we kill one One demon, two more will rush in through the passage, and the door of space will become more and more stable and expanded in this bloody battle like a meat grinder... In the end, when a monster as huge as a mountain and river, with the breath on its body When the shadow, which even I was afraid of, leaned half into the passage, I realized: If I don’t do something, this world will be destroyed in my hands.”

Compared with the story told by the half-dragon goddess in front of me, the "Fantasy Adventure Journey of the Night Watchman" I compiled is as boring as a child's bedtime story... Iger has long forgotten to question and find loopholes: is it true? Fake?Think about it when you wake up, even if it's just a story, it's exciting enough for him to listen to it.

"Then?"

"Then I used that, the method I mentioned to you before, which was originally intended to be used against my aunt." R'hllor put away the recalled expression, and his expression became flat again, "Mortals call it blood magic... …This is a narrow and superficial description. 'Blood magic' has never been an independent category of spells. It is just a 'slightly careless' use of blood as one of the materials that can be used for casting spells. Its implementation does not necessarily require Killing the owner of the blood does not rely on the substance itself but the magic power contained in the blood. As long as it contains power, whether it is blood, flesh, hair or a pile of shit, it can be used to cast spells. Like you Such mortals don't need to think that they will become victims inexplicably, unless they encounter a desperate novice who has only learned a little bit, otherwise any mage who chooses will not use mortal blood to cast spells... And you know, the real dragon Bloodlines contain considerable power."

Use yourself as a spell-casting material?This tm is too cruel... Iger swallowed, and then suddenly realized with horror: No, the woman in front of him is not the only one who has the blood of a real dragon.

"I used all the heirs and dragon beasts with power within the controllable range as the casting materials and price, and cast an unprecedented and powerful spell... Well, it's not really, because the first spell that opened the crack It is more powerful." R'hllor spread his hands: "But you must know that when energy acts on physical matter, the effect, or the power that can be intuitively felt, is many times stronger than when it is used for space magic. Could it be a blood descendant who is very close to me watching from the sidelines, the energy contained in the body is extremely pure and powerful, when thousands of real dragon blood are converted into energy in an instant, the destructive power of that spell is so strong that I am a little surprised , this blow not only instantly wiped out almost all the demons within the killing range, and extinguished the gradually expanding space rift, but also blew up the Valyrian Peninsula where the magic circle was located, causing the surging seawater to flood the giant crater A vast ocean was formed, and even the towering Fourteen Flame Peaks disintegrated and collapsed under the power of this spell, and the ground fire spewed out with ashes, and the smoke enveloped the new ocean, and it has not stopped until today."

The listener opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a long time.The mainstream version believes that the eruption of the Fourteen Flame Peaks led to the demise of Valyria. It turned out that it was just that the observers in the distance made the mistake of blind men and elephants, and made subjective assumptions based on visual sight, thus reversed the cause and effect. Relationship—it was not the eruption of the Fourteen Fire Peaks that caused the doomsday catastrophe, but the aftermath of the doomsday catastrophe that caused the eruption of the Fourteen Fire Peaks. It was only because all those present were sacrificed by their ancestors that no one could stand up Just an explanation.

Everything makes sense, why the Freedom Fortress, which occupies half of the world, is able to perish and disintegrate overnight when there are no enemies who can take advantage of it, so that Essos has never been able to recover. A powerful unified country was born.

The girl in front of her looks youthful and beautiful, and even in her dreams she can't suppress her desires. Not only is she an old hag who has lived for thousands of years, but she is also a fierce character who dares to destroy her own clan. .The most frightening thing is that when she talked about this matter, she seemed to only be troubled by the fact that the plan was not going well, but she didn't see guilt or guilt at all... This kind of ethics and morality of immortal existence is really beyond the comprehension of ordinary people of.

Compared with her, Melisandre, the red-robed woman who occasionally puts a curse on enemies who get in her way, and only burns the living when necessary, is as innocent as a newborn baby.

And just such a guy, he... actually planned to rape her the first time he saw her!

Cold sweat oozes from his back in the dream, but after swallowing his saliva in silence for a long time, Iger's thoughts are finally brought back to the original point by reason: "But, the truth of the doomsday catastrophe, and... warn me not to leave the fortress to go to Yong Land of Winter, what's the point of trying to eliminate that 'cold god' who has nothing to do with this?"

"Didn't you hear, this blood magic that sacrificed almost all of my descendants wiped out most of the invading demons—but not all." R'hllor shook his head, "Those ordinary people who survived at the edge of the killing range The demons don't talk about it, as long as there are enough of them, mortals can pay a huge price to eliminate them. The tricky thing is the great demon who has squeezed into this world with most of its body, even though its smaller half was cut off by the disappearing portal. Falling into the original world, and forcibly eating a super spell that can tear the earth apart, the bloody flesh is horrible, in a state of serious injury and weakness, but it is still the scariest opponent I have ever faced since I was born. "

-

Chapter 485

Not over yet?Iger frowned helplessly.

A wonderful story should end at the right time. In Ms. Ragelo's story about the doomsday catastrophe, the truth about the eruption of the Fourteen Flames is an appropriate ending time.No matter how exciting and turbulent the plot is, if there is no cessation, it will be as terrible as cooking with too much seasoning: "Obviously, you won that battle in the end, otherwise human beings would not be the world today." lord, and you're not here to talk to me. With all due respect, the process doesn't matter."

"The first half sentence is correct, but the second half sentence is wrong-in this battle, the process is precisely the most important." R'hllor was not angry at Iger's impatience, but continued in a calm tone: "I I started researching and improving blood magic and used it as my trump card in case I faced my aunt. In addition to considering its greatest power, there was another important factor: the demigod blood gave me incredible life strength and self-healing power. Although few injuries can verify this, based on my understanding of my own body, I can be sure: as long as I am not killed instantly, I can consume mana and time for any injuries and limbs to wait for it to heal and regenerate. The means of self-harm that are unimaginable to ordinary people is an acceptable price for me—it is this that allows me to include my own flesh and body in the list of spell-casting materials without any worries."

"The descendants present were exhausted at the first casting of the spell, but you obviously also thought about it: in terms of the purity and strength of the power in the blood, I, the ancestor who has survived for countless years, is the number one without any suspense. Since there is no more If other people's flesh and blood are available, it will be my own."

Perverted enough, I like it... no, Iger doesn't.Since I knew that I have unlimited self-healing ability, why not cut the knife from my own body but sacrifice the innocent offspring first?Wouldn't it be possible to have a large number of helpers to help you deal with the final boss... Today, a group of dragon knights will carry the burden of dealing with the aliens, instead of relying on a group of mortals to figure out a solution?

Iger resisted the urge and didn't complain. This kind of fairy fight is far beyond the scope of his knowledge, and he can always abide by the rule that silence is golden when it comes to things that he doesn't understand or specialize in.Perhaps, for an existence of R'hllor's level, no matter how many low-level helpers are singled out at the same level, it is not as useful as his own body in good condition.

……

"As an expert in invading other worlds, it's obviously not the first time for that huge demon to encounter an accident of 'interrupted halfway through', which is obviously within its emergency list and encounter experience—although it's one-third less Yi's body looked extremely miserable, but it cast spells quickly and calmly to lock the loss of body fluid energy from the wound, and then attacked me without hesitation, expecting to eliminate me, the biggest threat, so as to win the recovery of breathing or reopen the wound. Portal opportunity."

"Although I have great strength, I don't have much combat experience—although I have endless time, but this world has never had a qualified opponent who can practice my skills. My opponent is just the opposite: this head I don’t know how many demons have invaded and destroyed the world. Even if their strength was suppressed to the same level as mine by the rules of the plane the moment they entered this world, and they were seriously injured and disabled, only half of their strength remained, but they still relied on incredible cruelty, determination and proficiency. The use of energy and fighting skills that I can't match, have firmly suppressed me from the first shot."

R'hllor paused, glanced in other directions, and found that the dream had begun to show signs of instability: "We don't have much time left, so I'll skip the details and just talk about the conclusion and the key content. The situation is: Although I have mastered knowledge and abilities in various fields over the long years, most of the knowledge is useless in the face of this demon's astonishing power... Tricks and various small means are simply incompatible with it To compete with each other, after suffering two energy shocks with difficulty and being injured, I adjusted my mentality and stopped hesitating—I began to fight against the other party as my most terrifying imaginary enemy, my father's sister."

"I bit the tip of my tongue, scratched my skin, and used my own blood to fight against spells. The incredible strength of the half-dragon and half-god blood allowed me to regain the advantage on the battlefield in an instant... But the demon's ability to withstand punches and magic tolerance are impressive. Impressive, simply using a small amount of blood to cast spells can only give me a slight advantage, not enough to end the battle - and my blood is not endless." R'hllor stretched out a chenen so that it felt like a pinch The broken hand made a gesture: "The battle has entered the second stage. I let go of my hesitation and used my body as the price to launch an even more powerful attack."

"Although I don't have wings, I am used to using magic to fly and I don't need a body structure for walking, so..." She pointed to her toes and knees: "First of all, the feet and legs, including blood, muscles, bones and any pies. The part that comes in handy."

As soon as the voice fell, the goddess's pair of legs hidden under the long skirt were faintly visible, and the imaginative legs disappeared together with the skirt and turned into light spots to spread around. Suddenly, only half of her body was left, which surprised Iger who was caught off guard. Big jump.

"Then there are hands and arms. Although gestures can make spells more powerful, they are not indispensable." R'hllor raised his upper limbs without any hesitation, and the two slender arms disappeared as the sentence ended. From a beautiful woman who can't take your eyes off, in a few seconds, it becomes a severe disability and a bust that can scare any man softly. The heavy blow brought the demon to the brink of death, but it became more ferocious and crazy instead, and the intensity of the battle increased instead of falling-I couldn't regrow my limbs and restore health and integrity within a few days, but this demon could The rift reopened within a few hours, which means that it is not enough to be seriously injured. No matter how much the price is paid, I must completely wipe it out in one battle, and I cannot turn around and run away, even though I can run away!"

"For the first time, I was not reconciled to why I didn't have wings and a tail, because then I would at least have more body parts that could be sacrificed." R'hllor said helplessly, "But being reconciled can't change the fact, so the next step is The hair and skin of the rest of the body, the intestinal tract, and some unnecessary bones and organs, in order of importance for maintaining life from low to high, I will..."

"Ms. Lahelo, please accept your magical powers!" At the moment when the woman's fair skin disappeared and turned into a pink skeleton, Iger resolutely blocked his eyes and dared not look again, for fear that he would leave a psychological shadow on the woman from now on: "Only Just say it, no demonstration required! I can imagine it!"

"As you wish." Although the woman agreed quickly, her tone was teasing, as if she was happy to avenge the previous offense on the spot, "Open your eyes, I don't want to wake you up .Now, you must have an idea of ​​the intensity of that battle. In a word, the big demon is a fierce and powerful opponent. To deal with such an existence, the only way to win is to fight back with double fierceness and strength. The more powerful blood magic one after another mercilessly fell on its wounded and inconvenient body, and finally completely destroyed its body and soul. By this time, the excessive sacrifice and spellcasting had already made me become It became a monster dripping with blood, and no one who saw it would recognize that it was once a human being. The fire of life was faltering, and it could no longer stand any battle... Flee to a safe place that no one knows, hide, and prepare to recuperate and recover."

"The bloodline of the demigod really gave me incredible longevity and self-healing ability. According to the original calculation, under ideal conditions, it only takes me a few days to get rid of the weakest lingering state and restore my human form, and I can grow back in a few months. All the missing body structures including the limbs are back to normal... The new body will not immediately contain the power that is so abundant and powerful that it can be used as a material for casting spells, but this weakness will not last forever, and I can afford to wait." Rah Luo really returned to her original full appearance, but Iger no longer stared at her directly. "But the situation I encountered was not 'ideal', and the last struggle of the demon did me unexpected damage-it used the kind of filthy evil, weird that I have never seen The energy stained my broken body, penetrated into my blood and remaining magic power, and seriously hindered my recovery. I mobilized the magic resistance in my body, and the recovery of the body would be slowed down, and once I relaxed, the recovery would be slowed down. A filthy energy will try to interfere with the infestation of my mind and soul slavery to control me."

Fel energy, or something like that?Iger finally understood why Rahlo had to describe the details of this battle, which really couldn't be skipped.After thinking about it briefly in his mind, he calculated how long the doomsday catastrophe had passed: "It's been more than 400 years, and you haven't recovered yet?"

"For more than 400 years, I have been fighting against this force while recuperating, and now I have barely recovered to the point where there is no danger of life. However, due to the filthy energy like tarsus maggots, it is still far from regaining health and strength. It's far away, and at this time, I still have to work hard and distract myself to deter the restless elements." R'hllor sighed deeply, "Do you really think that the night watchmen you led have repelled Is it a massive invasion of the human world by the 'Cold God'?"

"Huh? I don't understand." Iger really didn't understand now.

"Compared to the attack that tried to retake the world when my mother died thousands of years ago, this so-called White Walker attack is nothing short of child's play. Make a big fuss, be defeated and wiped out by you and the little queen, and then everything will be fine—do you think that is the only thing Hanshen can do?"

"What backhand does it have?" Iger became vigilant, but he was already arranging the southern expedition. If he exiled half of the night watchmen outside the Great Wall and led the army to the south at the same time - what the hell will come again? If something invades, the land grant will really come to an end!

"Yes, but it doesn't dare and won't use it, because the attack of the White Walkers this time is not a battle for the cold god to try to take back the world, but a temptation." R'hllor became serious, and accelerated again as if realizing something Speed ​​of speech: "The deadly battle between me and that huge demon was so loud that even a blind man could detect it. The reason why Hanshen didn't come to pick up a bargain or took advantage of it afterwards was that the incident happened suddenly too late, and more importantly The reason is still: I sacrificed my son and body to destroy the portal and defeat the demon's shocking spell, whichever fall on his head, can easily beat him to death. He who is afraid of being affected or easily eliminated, is not at all Dare to leave my old lair to watch... But, after the catastrophe that mortals call doomsday, I disappeared for 400 years in order to recuperate my injuries. The long time has gradually erased the fear of my enemies. He I finally couldn't hold it back anymore, and wanted to use this war to test—to determine whether I was still alive."

"Your process of eliminating the aliens went so smoothly, and you didn't encounter the intervention of extraordinary power, not because a small Great Wall can completely block the power of the 'Cold God', but because I came here, and he also Sensing this, he resolutely gave up the chess piece that had crossed the ice wall, and retreated to his lair to show peace." R'hllor finally spread his hands and said, "I used to be so big that I didn't even bother to waste time dealing with him , but now, he who has been recuperating for thousands of years has become my biggest threat in a seriously injured and weak state."

"He has actually been able to defeat and kill me and regain the ownership of this world, but he doesn't know it yet." R'hllor warned solemnly, "If the Night Watchman just repels the invasion of the aliens, then no further action will be taken. , can still make him unable to figure out what is true and what is not... he does not dare to act rashly under my prestige. But if someone tries to go to the Land of Eternal Winter to search and destroy him, guess how he will feel?"

……

"He will feel that you are irritated by him and have decided to completely eliminate him." After thinking for a while, Iger finally understood.The story R'hllor tells seems to be off topic, but in fact it never deviates from the topic. "And in case this vanguard force is wiped out by the cold god, he is ready to face the real attack that will follow and is dying, but he has not waited for your arrival and revenge, and he will wake up: you He didn’t recover from that battle at all, so there’s nothing he can do about it!”

"That's right, so, let's accept it as soon as it's good. Not only will rash actions fail to show courage, but it will expose weaknesses...not only will it kill yourself, but it will also implicate me." R'hllor spread his hands, and finally stopped Continuing to spit out words one after another like a machine gun, "Come on, if you have any doubts about this story... ask questions now."

The story is self-consistent, and Iger is already looking for loopholes while listening to it. Unfortunately, even if it is false, as a mortal, he has no experience and ability to expose it.

This was either fact, or an ingenious story carefully concocted to deal with my paranoia.However, he still couldn't erase the last bit of doubt. After thinking for a while, he still thought of a way. He could confirm the other party's statement from the side, and try to gain more benefits by the way: "There is only one question, Rhelo Ma'am, as the son of prophecy chosen by you in the legend, and in this war against the invasion of aliens, I have saved so much energy for you to dispel the enemy's disobedience. Is the only reward I get is a piece of advice, and a story?"

Chapter 486

R'hllor turned cold, tilted his head slightly, and stared at Iger with those bright and energetic purple eyes, and felt terrified when he saw him.

"You seem to have made a mistake - this war against the White Walkers, you are fighting as a human being to protect yourself, not because 'I beg you' to help. Your existence has indeed saved me a lot strength, but as long as the God of Cold still fears me, this war is destined to win with the human beings who are backed by me, and it is the same with or without you... The difference is only in the price. Now I will save all these things because of you The power is used to cast spells into your dreams, explain everything to you, and owe you nothing."

Just when Iger thought that his temptation had offended the goddess, and began to think about whether to let it go to prevent the other party from getting mad, R'hllor changed his tone and changed the topic again: "Rewards are just these two things, but if you It’s true that I want something else, but it’s not that I don’t have it. Have you ever thought about why I should condescend to explain so much to you, a mortal, just to discourage you from taking risks, instead of directly implanting ‘Eternal Winter’ in your mind? The place is dangerous and can't go'?"

Iger's face changed a little, and he didn't know for a while whether the other party was really asking back, or was threatening and reminding him: She has god-like power to herself, and is she not an equal and negotiable object?

"Because, you are not the kind of smart person who can fabricate a concept of nothingness or play with the applause with a little trick. I want a person like you to be driven by me, instead of casting spells to interfere with your thoughts, and then always worry about you Whether you will break free from control due to suspicion and thinking and make things twists and turns, it is better to explain clearly from the beginning to the end, so that you agree to serve me completely under your own will."

The woman no longer floated side by side with him, but flew upwards and backwards for a short distance in the direction away from him. Her silver hair was blown by the airflow from nowhere, and she lowered her head and looked down with brighter purple eyes. This situation is really as awe-inspiring and inviolable as a god.

A moment ago, she was just a dream visitor, a storyteller; now, she is the Lord of Light, R'hllor, the Red God who defies everything in the world.

"I did prepare another thing, but this is not a reward, but an advance payment for what you will do for me in the future." The woman raised her right arm and opened her palm, a dress that shone with dazzling light made people completely A small object whose details cannot be seen clearly hangs above her palm. "This time, I relied on my remaining prestige to successfully force Hanshen to stop, but bluffing will never work forever, and I must get rid of the bad state of lingering before my deterrence fails. Therefore, I have made a decision: to conduct a time war Span the unknown long sleep, use the hidden talents in my true dragon blood, take some risks, and try to remove the demonic power contaminated in the body once and for all."

R'hllor put down her hand, but the crystal-clear unknown object did not fall or was sucked away by the gravity of the planet where the world of ice and fire in the dream was, but floated between her and Iger, as if it was alive. Flashes, spinning slowly and evenly.

"While concentrating on recuperating, I can't respond to the call of the believers, nor can I interfere with the operation of the mortal world... Therefore, I need a helper to manage the believers during my deep sleep, protect the only remaining bloodline heirs, and— —Building a new country.” The light on the goddess is getting brighter and brighter, gradually making people unable to see her appearance clearly. When I recover from my injuries and try to leave this world again, I don’t have to wait hundreds or thousands of years, expecting the formation of another huge country with the strength to build a magic circle for me—then, the best way is to start planning and building it in advance .”

"Aegon Targaryen was once my chosen chess piece, but when I dozed off, his descendants were wiped out after a cannibalism... and when I closed my eyes, the entire dynasty disappeared. 300 years of waiting suddenly disappeared I have done useless work, and now I need a reliable new option to continue this interrupted mission, are you willing to accept it?"

The true dragon dynasty established by Aegon the Conqueror conquered the Seven Kingdoms, but it was just a spare tire used by R'hllor after the fall of Valyria?But now, I have been selected and asked to assist her descendants to re-establish a powerful and unified new country, so that when this wayward goddess wakes up from her injuries, she can seamlessly connect and have the ability to reunite immediately without delay. Resources to build a new space tearing circle, in order to carry out the death of leaving this world again?

This feeling of insignificance makes people uncomfortable just thinking about it.

Not to mention, with the incredible time-consuming required for such a large project, there is a high probability that I will never see it completed in my life, let alone Zhanguang returning to his homeland as well.

But Iger has already passed the naive stage of doing things only thinking about pleasure, and now he just wants to know what benefits R'hllor claims to pay in advance—that luminous object whose shape cannot be seen clearly, can bring him?

Extraordinary power?live forever?Or both?

"This is my scale, an ordinary scale, but some spells have been applied to lock its power and stabilize its effect." R'hllor seemed to see through Iger's question, "Don't make a surprised expression. I have the blood of a half-dragon, and the scenery under my clothes is not what you imagined. The person who carries the scales is the endorsement of the world I have chosen and recognized. My believers will obey your authority unconditionally. All self-aware beings All the supernatural beings who have seen or understood my existence in the world will never dare to be your enemy except the cold gods in the land of eternal winter and the demons still active in the ruins of Valyria. Is there a better reward for being a mortal with no power but no power?"

It was a bit unexpected, but Iger was not very satisfied. After all, this was far worse than anything he had imagined.

"Accept, or refuse? It's up to you." R'hllor asked without any fluctuation, "But I have to remind you that people in this world who are willing to serve me can line up from the Shadow Tower to Eastwatch... It's just that compared to other People, I prefer you, an outsider who has the same background as my mother, so I came to you first."

Iger doesn't believe in the saying that he prefers outsiders, but R'hllor's request for this task doesn't embarrass him - because it doesn't conflict with his plan to push the Queen to the throne, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it happened incidentally.R'hllor said that this scale was an advance payment, but to him, it was no different from the third reward, so don't take it for nothing.

In addition, the other party's words actually revealed another meaning: she will inevitably choose someone to act as the spokesperson to carry out this task, and she must either become this person, or she may...have to be an enemy of this person.

"I accept, Ms. Rhelo." Iger didn't think for too long, it wasn't asking for his own opinion at all.If the other party is really the Red God R'hllor, he probably made up his mind from the very beginning when he decided to enter his dream, and giving himself the chance to choose is just a ritual cutscene that makes all this seem less forced.He is proud and rebellious, but he knows when to show it and when to hide it in his stomach to show others: "I will fight faithfully for this task entrusted to you for the rest of my life. "

"Don't get cheap and act good." R'hllor snorted softly, "I don't have the time to tell you how to use this reward in detail, so let's study it slowly. You can use your imagination as you like, as long as one can do it for me. The powerful country I used was finally established, and I don't care at all how you do evil or bluff under my banner...well, that's it, goodbye...maybe never again."
