Balerion needed to stop and rest, and the Night King actually sat on a hill not far away, waiting quietly.
Viserys narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this scene, which further confirmed his inner suspicion. However, he turned his head and looked to the south, thinking of the sacrifices humans had made for this war.
Giving up at the last moment, the little wavering in my heart was also dispelled.
Then he found a fairly comfortable place, sat down and closed his eyes to rest, completely ignoring the leader of the White Walkers over there.
The Night King looked at Viserys who was far away, and the ice-blue flames in his eyes jumped slightly. No one knew what it was thinking, and there was no expression on its cheeks.
There was a long silence between the man and the ghost. Balerion crossed half of the Essos continent in one breath, and he was exhausted, so he lay down on the ground and fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed after that, and Balerion even took the time to go hunting, but the Night King still resisted and made no move from beginning to end, even when Viserys was sitting there alone.
This made Viserys, who was trying to lure the opponent to take the initiative to attack, slightly disappointed.
The Night King is really too cautious. I don’t know if it’s because he has gained wisdom through every experience. He doesn’t want to expose any possible flaws. He just waits patiently where he is. He would rather do nothing than make a mistake.
.
Then the Night King finally waited patiently for Viserys to rest, and then climbed back on the dragon's back to start a new round of racing.
Viserys was also a little helpless. The opponent was a tireless undead dragon driven by magic, while Balerion was made of flesh and blood. It was impossible to catch up with him no matter what, and it was impossible to compete with him in endurance competition.
He also didn't know the Night King's thoughts. At first, it seemed to want to escape from him, but then it seemed to give up on this plan and tried to lure him somewhere.
Viserys guessed that there might be a trap carefully prepared for him, so he wavered slightly for a second.
Because Xu Ying's prophecy preceded it, the prophecy predicted that humans and ghosts would die together, and even Balerion died in the battle.
However, now the reality has changed dramatically from the prophecy, and Viserys is not sure whether the prophecy will happen again.
The last time in Loras, due to various reasons such as Balerion's injury, Viserys did not continue to pursue the opponent.
But this time he made up his mind not to let the other party escape like this, otherwise the sacrifices made by countless people would be in vain.
The Night King rode the ice dragon and flew toward the boundless trembling sea, and Viserys followed closely behind on Balerion.
The two dragons stretched their wings one after the other and soon dived into the eternal darkness. The human world behind them also gradually disappeared, leaving only the endless cold sea water.
What is the northernmost part of the world like?
Viserys had thought about this problem before, but he still stopped at the Fangs of Frost and Snow and did not go any further.
According to legend, there is the territory of the Thenns further away, and further north is the land of eternal winter, a restricted area of life. Even the sturdy Thenns do not dare to continue moving toward the north, because it contains the secrets of this world.
The White Walkers have disappeared from the civilized world for eight thousand years, but in fact the White Walkers have never disappeared, but have always lived in the restricted area of life in the legendary land of eternal winter.
The wild people living north of the Great Wall are not that unfamiliar with the White Walkers, because they have always lived peacefully with the White Walkers. It is even said that some wild people will have sex with the White Walkers and give birth to half-human, half-ghost monsters.
It’s just that the White Walkers did not go south at that time and had been living in the farthest place of eternal winter. The Thenns, cavemen, etc. were still able to coexist peacefully with the White Walkers. However, the White Walkers suddenly moved south, and these savages were the first to react.
They could not resist the attack of the White Walkers, so they had no choice but to turn their spearhead and escape towards the south.
Now, Viserys and the Night King were heading north one after another. Viserys discovered from observation that they were not heading due north, but slightly offset to the northwest.
He secretly guessed that the Night King might want to lure him to the land of eternal winter, which is the home of the White Walkers. Viserys once briefly possessed the Eye of God with the help of Melisandre, who claimed that
It is the eyes of Allah R'hllor, representing everything He has seen.
In R'hllor's vision, the North was already shrouded in darkness at that time. The red god's power was connected with the threads of darkness, and the distant land of eternal winter was the core of this dark vortex, the most pure darkness.
.
Then an unknown amount of time passed, during which Viserys found an unnamed island to rest on the endless trembling sea, and the Night King followed the same pattern and continued to rest far away.
Before Viserys found the island, he even vaguely suspected that the other party wanted to tire Balerion to death, and then fall into the sea and drown himself.
Because the Shivering Sea was so vast, Balerion flew continuously for who knows how many days before finally finding a place to rest and rest, otherwise he would be really exhausted.
However, after going back and forth like this, the Night King didn't seem to be afraid that Viserys would see its inner plan at all, and it was still waiting for Viserys to rest generously not far away.
Although the other party's face was always expressionless, with only the ice-blue flames in his eyes occasionally fluctuating, Viserys always felt as if the other party was laughing at him, with a slightly uneasy expression on his face.
Viserys and Balerion rested on this island for about a day. During this period, he also thought about what the battlefield in the distance would be like now. He didn't know how long it had been, but there must have been a battle there.
It's over. Is it a win? A loss? Or is it some other result?
However, Viserys had no way of knowing, because he was already too far away, the connection brought by the black mist had been severed, and the glass candle was not brought with him. However, it seemed that there were four giant dragons helping him fight, even if it was worse.
The results couldn't be any worse.
Then one man and one ghost headed northwest again, and this time after a long flight, Viserys gradually felt that the familiar power was slowly returning, and the power of the old god was restored again.
After this feeling arose, not long after, the vague outline of the continent gradually appeared in the distance.
