Chapter 129 - Chapter 129 The Power of Sacrifice

By the time Daenerys received the contract document, personally signed by Earl Hightower and bearing the Hightower Family's seal, it was already broad daylight. Feeling a bit tired, Daenerys, attended by Earl Hightower's eldest daughter Emily, returned to her room, planning to rest for a while before dealing with matters in Oldtown.

Miraxis quietly guarded outside Daenerys's room, giving her a complete sense of security. After a quick wash, Daenerys collapsed directly onto the comfortable velvet bed.

Her Valyrian sword, Dawn, and her dragonbone Valyrian Steel dagger, Firefall, were placed by her pillow.

When the rioters charged the dragons yesterday, Daenerys felt both Dawn and Firefall become intensely hot as she chanted the sacrificial spell. Even now, they still felt warm to the touch.

The words "Walk with God" on Dawn seemed to become clearer, and a phrase in Ancient Valyria, "Unending Bloodshed," appeared on the Firefall dagger. The magical power contained within them also became more surging and turbulent.

Daenerys knew that the two Valyrian weapons changed so much because she chanted a sacrificial spell when burning those rioters. However, she still didn't understand the specific effects of these changes.

Collapsing onto the bed, Daenerys quickly fell asleep due to exhaustion.

In her dream, Daenerys's consciousness slowly seemed to sink into the depths of a cold, dark ocean. A chilling sensation made her consciousness suddenly awaken.

She then realized that her consciousness had actually reached the depths of the dark seabed, but strangely, she could breathe freely underwater. However, Daenerys always felt as if malevolent eyes were staring intently at her from all around. So she quickly swam upwards with all her might, trying to escape this dream.

But the previously dark and silent seawater suddenly became exceptionally turbulent, which prompted Daenerys to quickly accelerate her upward swimming speed.

Just then, countless flexible roots extended down from above and wrapped around Daenerys, helping her ascend rapidly.

"Gurgle ~ Gurgle ~"

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly came from behind. Daenerys looked back and saw a giant azure sea serpent chasing her from behind. The sea serpent's head even had dragon-like barbs and dragon horns.

"Is this the legendary Sea Dragon?"

Daenerys immediately thought of this.

The sea serpent was fast, but it was still a step behind the agile roots. Under the protection of the roots, Daenerys quickly left the ocean world. In a daze, she found herself under a towering Weirwood.

This Weirwood was rooted on a massive black stone platform, continuously drawing energy from the greasy black stone. And in the semi-exposed roots on one side of the Weirwood, Daenerys was shocked to find the sea serpent that had been chasing her. However, it had now been sucked dry by the Weirwood, becoming a shriveled serpent corpse.

Immediately, the scene shifted again. The Weirwood was now even taller, and the sea serpent's corpse had been covered by thick layers of soil. A new tall tower also stood on the black stone platform, resembling the Hightower of the Hightower Family.

What Daenerys found strange was that more than a dozen green dragons soared above the Hightower.

The scene continued to flow, and monsters hidden in the shadows constantly gathered here, but Daenerys couldn't clearly see their specific appearances. This place gradually transformed into the Oldtown of today.

At this moment, the entire Oldtown was enveloped in various strange energies. This energy was extremely cold and eerie, making Daenerys feel extremely uncomfortable. Moreover, whenever Daenerys wanted to see the appearance of the monsters hidden in the shadows, a powerful force prevented her from approaching.

Just as Daenerys began to feel a little anxious, a meteor with a giant red fiery tail suddenly fell from the sky. The meteor exploded directly above Oldtown, and a dozen huge fire dragons flew out of it.

Daenerys looked closely,

"Isn't that Dreamfire and the others?"

At this time, they were all about two to three hundred meters long, with Dragon Wingspans exceeding five hundred meters. They immediately began breathing Dragonflame onto Oldtown, making the monsters hidden in the shadows scream and wail.

Even the green dragons soaring above the Hightower were devoured by the fire dragons.

And after being scorched by the flames, the cold energy that had previously enveloped Oldtown slowly transformed into a warm energy, continuously surging towards Daenerys and the Weirwood beside her.

This made Daenerys feel a wave of comfort, and at this moment, a heat emanated from her hands. It turned out that the dawn sword in her right hand was directly ignited, and the Firefall dagger in her left hand glowed with dazzling blood-red light.

"Hiss-gah ~"

Miraxis's high-pitched cry suddenly woke Daenerys from her strange dream. Although Daenerys had only slept for less than an hour, she felt incredibly energetic now that her consciousness had returned.

She picked up the dawn sword and Firefall dagger and murmured to herself,

"Did you also benefit from last night's blood sacrifice ritual?!"

However, Miraxis outside let out an even more urgent and high-pitched call, so Daenerys quickly put on her clothes and went to the small garden. It turned out that Iger's giant eagle had delivered a message.

After Daenerys took the secret letter from the giant eagle's leg, it quickly flapped its wings and fled in a panic. It seemed that even though this giant eagle was already familiar with Miraxis, it still felt extremely afraid whenever it faced Miraxis alone.

Miraxis looked at the fleeing giant eagle with a hint of disdain in his eyes, and he even snorted out a puff of hot air to express his little emotions.

Daenerys read the secret letter while gently stroking Miraxis's dragon head to comfort him.

"I didn't expect them to be so efficient. They've already taken care of the Starry Sept and the docks so quickly."

So Daenerys quickly returned to her room to change into a new set of leather armor and put on a purplish-black scarf to cover her bald head, which only had a layer of fuzz.

When Daenerys walked out of the room, Emily, who had been dozing on the corridor bench, suddenly woke up and asked Daenerys with concern,

"Princess, aren't you going to rest a bit more?"

"I've recovered my strength, Miss Emily. You should go back and rest too. I'm going out to do something. Goodbye!"

After speaking, Daenerys quickly headed towards Weirwood Square.

Earl Hightower, due to the severe shortage of guards for the Hightower at this time, did not send anyone to check the situation in Oldtown. Instead, he had his students send ravens to his vassals, instructing them to immediately bring troops to help resolve the Oldtown crisis.

When Daenerys walked out of the Hightower, she saw the dragons still devouring the bodies of the rioters in Weirwood Square. Half of the tens of thousands of rioters' bodies had already been consumed.

Even stranger, Daenerys found that Amoros was digging a large deep pit near the Weirwood.
