Chapter 58 - Chapter 58: Archery Practice

Through this planting of the Weirwood, Daenerys gained new knowledge and understanding of some of the extraordinary powers in this world.

Perhaps magical creatures like the Weirwood and Dragons all possess the ability to attract, gather, and absorb free-floating magical elements.

And those who can form an intimate connection with them, under specific conditions, can borrow a portion of the magical energy they have accumulated.

The Valyria Dragon Knights unleashing Dragonflame from their Dragons might be a more intuitive display. But in fact, isn't it true that the First Men could see the past and predict the future through the Weirwood, and the Targaryen Family's dragon dream and Dreamwalker's talents, are all similar in effect?

According to the records of House Targaryen, all Dreamwalkers were successful Dragon Knights of the family. Perhaps their inherent bloodline limits and the Dragon's magic are the key factors that enable them to possess this ability.

Whether this is truly the case will require Daenerys to slowly explore in the future. At this moment, she could clearly feel that the Weirwood in front of her was rapidly attracting and gathering the free-floating magical energy from its surroundings.

This made the blood within Daenerys's body seem to become even more active. Dragon Miraxis also shared the same feeling.

Around this Weirwood, which was only about a foot tall, Miraxis felt that her efficiency in absorbing magical energy was no longer inferior to that in the gem cave.

"Perhaps this is destiny!"

The Watcher couldn't help but exclaim after hearing Daenerys's explanation,

"This Weirwood has clearly become very different. Although she is currently only a foot tall, this sacred tree's speed in absorbing magic is already more vigorous and active than those ancient trees that are thousands of years old."

No wonder everyone felt that the small mountain in front of them had become somewhat different?

After all, they all possessed some extraordinary physiques, so they were naturally very sensitive to the fluctuations of magical energy.

Daenerys was very satisfied with this, after all, with this special Weirwood in her castle in the future, it might slowly become as miraculous as Storm's End and The Wall!

"It seems I should visit Storm's End and The Wall in the future, perhaps I can explore one or two of their magical constructions!"

When Daenerys subsequently bled Dreamfire, she also sent Miraxis to summon Xiao Bellerion and the others.

Because she didn't know if the Weirwood would have such a miraculous performance in the future, she decided to connect the Weirwood with all the Dragons she could control at once!

Fortunately, both Dreamfire and Grey Shadow, under the chants of Daenerys and the two Children of the Forest, all successfully established a connection with the Weirwood.

The Dragon blood of these Dragons also caused the Weirwood to grow a few more inches.

However, when Daenerys tried to experiment with the fresh blood of two small Unicorns, she found it was no longer effective.

Afterward, Miraxis even moved all the gems from her nest directly around the Weirwood, rebuilding her nest there. She guarded it day and night, unwilling to leave easily.

To help Miraxis shelter from the wind and rain, Daenerys directly forged and erected a circle of huge Dragonstone, tens of meters high, around the Weirwood. Fortunately, with the help of Dreamfire, this would have been a massive undertaking by human power alone.

Adult Daenerys

In fact, the Dragon Guard and her elder sister Rhaenyra did not quite approve of Daenerys's behavior of riding Dragons to transport Dragonstone, charging riding fees, or frequently taking people on flights.

Daenerys could understand the Dragon Guard's reasons very well. Because in their values, Dragons were incredibly sacred and noble beings; how could they be made to do rough work or casually interact with ordinary nobles?

They believed that this might harm the dignity of the Dragons and House Targaryen.

But her elder sister Rhaenyra's words were much harsher!

She felt that Daenerys's actions were not only demeaning herself but also placing her family's proud Dragons in the same position as cattle and horses. It was simply nonsensical, a manifestation of self-degradation and self-abasement.

To this, Daenerys merely chuckled. For people with such low-level cognition, she really didn't want to explain anything!

This is like a person pulling goods with a handcart in the countryside mocking a person driving a Rolls-Royce to pull goods, saying,

"Look! That person driving a Rolls-Royce is actually pulling goods, so what's the big difference between that so-called Rolls-Royce and my handcart?!"

What do you think others would think of him?!

It's their choice to pull goods with a Rolls-Royce, while he can only use a handcart. Anyone with a clear head would only mock the person using the handcart.

Since the youths of Skagos Island officially pledged allegiance to Daenerys, Daenerys immediately equipped them with full sets of knight armor, swords, and warhorses. She hoped they would make a splash in this martial arts tournament.

After all, the tournament was less than a month away. Although they were highly skilled in martial arts, they were not very familiar with the knight rules of Westeros.

So Daenerys had Bronn start training them diligently, working overtime. Given their strong martial arts foundation, their improvement in knightly skills was incredibly rapid.

Daenerys also began learning archery from the highly skilled Watcher. The Watcher used a Weirwood longbow, and her archery was truly superb, not only hitting the target every time but also able to pierce a willow leaf from a hundred paces.

Daenerys was a woman after all, and although her current martial power was not weak. Her innate physical conditions were there, and in a prolonged fight with men, she would definitely be at a disadvantage.

However, if she mastered an exquisite archery skill, it would be a different story.

Perhaps because Daenerys's perception was relatively keen, her progress in learning archery was quite remarkable. In just three days, she was already able to shoot without missing.

However, arm strength, endurance, and firing speed still required long-term practice. After all, for any skill, besides talent and personal conditions, consistent effort is absolutely essential.

Daenerys

To pass the boring days of archery practice, Daenerys ordered many blunt arrows to be made. She also called Miraxis and Grey Shadow to serve as her moving targets for practice.

This not only made her archery practice much more lively and interesting but also trained the Dragons' ability to dodge arrows and their sense of danger.

Daenerys's aim was quite good; she specifically aimed at their eyes each time she shot. Miraxis and the others, due to their initial carelessness, were hit in the eyelids by Daenerys several times.

This terrified them, as the only weakness on a Dragon's body was their eyes. Almost all Dragons killed by ordinary people in the history of Ancient Valyria and House Targaryen were because they were shot through the eyes.

Therefore, they no longer dared to be careless. Over time, both their flexibility in dodging arrows and their ability to predict danger greatly improved.
