Time flies so fast, and two months have passed since the Battle of Guernasi. The good news has spread throughout the Eastern Continent, and people see a little hope in the darkness for the first time in a long time.
In Braavos, at the checkered pier, heavy snow falls from the sky. The port has been covered with a layer of silver, and cargo ships on the sea are queuing up to be inspected by customs officials. People patrolling the streets
The soldiers of Braavos are fully armed and have solemn faces.
Since the last time White Walkers sneaked into the waters of Braavos, the Braavos authorities have stepped up patrols on the water and on the ground.
Although no one knows what the White Walkers want to do by sneaking in, and it is impossible to torture and interrogate a captured White Walker alive. After all, the opponent is basically a dead person, but there is nothing wrong with stopping what the enemy wants to do.
Today, the only White Walker captured alive in the human world is imprisoned in the underground prison of Braavos.
Once Victarion and other man-made deep divers captured this unfortunate guy from the bottom of the sea, and then hastily tied him with a dragon crystal chain, but this was not a long-term solution after all, and then he used dragon crystal again after a period of time.
He built an extremely strong dragon crystal cage and locked the strange ghost inside.
During this period of time, humans have never stopped researching things like White Walkers. Braavos is a city-state with freedom of belief. Braavos has hundreds of small islands forming an island city, and in
Among them is an island called the Island of the Gods.
On the islands of the gods, such as the Temple of the Moonsinger, the Temple of the Lord of Light, the Court of Black and White, the Temple of the Seven Sacred Gods, and other beliefs coexist, there are even sanctuaries that have become "grand courtyards", where sacred objects from all over the world are enshrined.
There are various small gods, and many of them have been forgotten by the world.
Because Braavos has free and mixed beliefs, there are many priests and monks in Braavos. The Sea King of Braavos invited these people who mastered the occult to collectively deal with the captured White Walkers.
Research, hoping to obtain some kind of breakthrough progress, and then help humans defeat the White Walkers and get out of the long night.
But it's a pity that most of the people invited by Neptune are liars with no real talent. They just deceive ordinary people. When faced with a real White Walker, they were scared to death before even walking up to it.
My legs felt weak and I couldn't help but turn around and run away.
However, although most of these people are liars, there are still a small number of people who really have special skills. For example, in a brothel called "Happy Wharf" in Braavos, there is a prostitute named Ina.
A hidden witch, as well as the high priest of the Temple of the Moonsinger, Priest Magiro of the Red God Cult, Ms. Melisandre, who is the vice-president of the Valyrian Imperial Seminary, Imperial University
Dr. Marwyn, who has a Valyrian steel chain link, and so on.
When these people heard that Braavos held the only White Walker in the human world, they came from all over the world.
They began to study the White Walker. Magiro used the Red God's spell to ignite the flames in an attempt to melt the White Walker but was unable to do so. A pale-haired lady, the High Priest of the Moonsinger, used the Moonsinger's spell to ignite the flames.
Blessing tried to purify the other party, but the strange ghost looked at her calmly, with no joy or sorrow in his eyes, no sarcasm, no fear, as if he was looking at a dead object, a table, or a water glass.
In addition to weapons made of dragon crystal that were directly inserted into the body of the White Walkers, and Valyrian steel, they could not find any weapons that could kill the White Walkers. These masters of magic and even witchcraft unexpectedly for the first time
Once again, I felt helpless.
"Don't these things have any weaknesses?"
The High Priest of the Moonsinger couldn't help but ask.
"Dragon crystal may be the biggest weakness of these things."
Dr. Marwin, who was about the same age as the High Priest of the Moonsinger, turned his head to look at the lady, and then spoke.
"Dragon crystal is much more mysterious than we imagined. The Valyrians call it 'frozen fire'. Glass candles are also made of dragon crystal. Perhaps this is a gift given to us by the earth."
Dr. Marwin came from the Citadel. Although the Citadel has long since been dismembered, many of his academic ideas still come from the Citadel period.
Bachelors have studied dragon crystals a long time ago. Dragon crystals are extremely sharp, even sharper than steel. However, the disadvantage is that they are extremely fragile and can break if touched accidentally.
"Is there a possibility that the White Walkers, dragons and dragon crystals all come from the mysterious underground world?"
"Therefore only products from the underworld can harm it."
At this moment, Melisandre on the side suddenly spoke. Dr. Marwen heard her words and turned his eyes from the Moonsinger High Priest to her.
Do White Walkers come from underground?
This is really a bold guess.
However, there is currently no evidence in academia to confirm the connection between the White Walkers and the underground world. On the contrary, one of the most radical academic arguments is that the White Walkers may come from the sky and were brought by a meteorite eight thousand years ago.
Extraterrestrial power.
There are many things that can support this bachelor's conjecture, such as the legend from Yi Di. The Blood Stone Emperor did not respect the gods of Yi Di and instead worshiped a black stone that fell from the sky, which eventually led to the fall of the long night.
Because the White Walkers come from the sky, they can have the ability to influence celestial phenomena, such as the reversal of day and night, the fall of long nights, the rising white mist and the cold winter.
Although this speculation was extremely outrageous and unacceptable, the atmosphere in the city was already full of flowers. Although most bachelors at that time did not believe that White Walkers really existed, a few people still made speculations based on this.
Compared with the "heaven theory", there is also the "man-made theory", which is that the children of the forest created such monsters to fight against the invasion of the ancestors, and then these monsters escaped from the control of the children of the forest and eventually transformed into the world.
This kind of speculation is also very bold. However, after consulting the girl Ye Zi, the Son of the Forest, she denied this. The Son of the Forest has never mentioned this story from generation to generation, and it is most likely made up.
But no one has ever proposed any connection between the White Walkers and the underground world, because there are only a few people who know about the existence of the underground world. The underground world is a more mysterious existence than the White Walkers, and there is not even any conclusive evidence to confirm it.
Do they really exist or is it just a legend.
Feeling Dr. Marwin's gaze, Melisandre pursed her lips slightly, then shook her head.
"I'm just guessing."
"Maybe dragon crystal just happens to be able to restrain the White Walkers."
