Chapter 278 The Ruins of Valyria

After Lind left, everyone returned to normal. Their attention fell on the sisters Ella and Yala, trying to get some news about Lind and the dragon from them, but they were blocked by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce. The head of the liaison office stopped him.

Although he was inevitably discriminating against bicephalic people and did not understand why Linde would pay so much attention to this deformed person, he still faithfully followed Linde's instructions to bring Ella and Yala to the The Liaison Office protected them and mobilized all backup personnel from the Liaison Office to guard the room where the sisters Ella and Yala were housed.

After the sisters Ella and Yala were brought to the Miracle Chamber of Commerce to settle down, everyone lost the target of information, so they began to discuss with each other. In the content of the discussion, except for the weird dragon itself, , they were also discussing what Lind said when he left, knowing that Lind was actually going to explore the ruins of Valyria.

Although everyone is very clear that the ruins of Valyria are like hell. Once you enter, you can't even think about coming out. Countless daring treasure hunters in the past have proved this, but everyone surprisingly agrees that Lind should be able to succeed. Explore the ruins of Valyria and find treasures from the past in the Valyrian Freehold.

After all, Lind is not an ordinary person, he is a god who walks the earth. The ruins of Valyria are deadly to ordinary people, but for gods, being active in such a dangerous place may be like taking a walk in the back garden. easy.

While everyone was discussing Lind and the dragon, Jon Connington hurriedly left with his men. They needed to meet with Khal Drogo to reach an agreement before he returned to the Dothraki Sea.

Although the news of Linde's appearance riding a dragon was very shocking, the weird dragon was not Linde's first dragon. Compared with this dragon, the even larger sea dragon Gluttonous This is the truly shocking monster.

However, in any case, Lind's appearance also gave Jon Clinton a glimmer of hope to restore the Targaryen dynasty, because he speculated that the dragon Lind was riding was probably hatched from a dragon egg. .

As we all know, Linde obtained a dragon egg from the ghost of Summerhall, but there was no news that the egg had hatched in the past. Everyone believed that this dragon egg was the same as those of the Targaryen family in the past. A dead egg that could not be hatched, thus completely ignoring the dragon egg.

Now it seems that the dragon egg has probably hatched and given birth to such a weird dragon. And when I think about it, the dragon egg sent by the ghost may no longer be a pure dragon egg, but will hatch into a dragon egg. Mutated dragons are also reasonable.

In Jon Clinton's view, since Lind can hatch a dragon from a dragon egg, so can they. As long as the dragon egg hatches a dragon, the Targaryen family with the blood of the Dragon King will have a chance to domesticate it. Dragon, re-establishing the Targaryen dynasty.

However, hatching dragon eggs is still an illusory thing. The most pragmatic thing for Jon Clinton now is to marry the Targaryen family to the most powerful horse king of Dothraki, and let Daenerys marry the horse king. , with the support of the Horse King's Roaring Warriors, he first captured a city to establish a stronghold on the continent of Essos, and then sought to seize the Iron Throne of Westeros.

At the same time, Lind, who was flying to the Valyrian Free Fortress, was also thinking about Jon Connington he had just met.

Although Lind didn't care about the Targaryen family, he never gave up his concern for the Targaryen family. Over the years, he had been collecting various intelligence materials about the Targaryen family.

Perhaps because his appearance changed the trajectory of history, Aegon Targaryen, who used the pseudonym Little Griffin, contacted Daenerys and Viserys in advance, and because of the return of the dragon and the saying that the dragon has three heads, even if Viserys had no sympathy for Aegon Targaryen at all, and the three of them still chose to join forces.

Now these three people and Jon Connington have been living in Volantis with the funding of Illyrio, and they seem to have the support of the Red Temple, and they already have a team of people under their hands.

The latest intelligence is that the Targaryens have established contact with Khal Drogo through Illyrio. If nothing changes, Aegon Targaryen and Viserys Targaryen should Daenerys marries Khal Drogo in exchange for the support of the Dothraki.

However, what Lind didn't understand was why these Targaryens and their supporters thought they could seize the Iron Throne with the Dothraki alone, and where he fit in their plan.

He didn't think that Jon Clinton didn't know the strength gap between Khal Drogo and himself. Let alone a direct fight with Summer Hall, even if it was a war in the Kingdom of Lorne, it was still unknown who would win in the end.

It is no exaggeration to say that with the strength and influence that Linde currently possesses, it is impossible for anyone to secure the Iron Throne if he does not nod.

Therefore, he was curious about what methods these Targaryens would use to convince him to support them in taking back the Iron Throne, unless they no longer wanted to take the Iron Throne, but planned to start a new one.

Because there was no need to take care of other people's feelings, Diltos' flight back to Oros was much faster, and he had arrived outside the dragon's nest of the Governor's Palace in Oros in more than an hour.

The body of the sea monster frozen by Diltos was still there, and the Oros people who were scared away before had not yet appeared.

Diltos did not stop at Oros, but glided over the sea monster's corpse, and sprayed a breath of frost dragon breath on the sea monster's corpse, freezing it and strengthening it for a layer, and then continued towards Valais on the other side. Fly over to the Leah Peninsula.

The coastal sea is covered with hot rocks, and the seabed is filled with active volcanoes. The hot lava and rocks evaporate the seawater, forming black and yellow poisonous smoke. Ships want to pass here only when the poisonous smoke weakens. .

Although Diltos was flying high in the sky, he still could not avoid the poisonous smoke in the sky. When passing through the sea of ​​smoke, Lind had to use the power of the Storm Dragon Rune to create a space to isolate the poisonous smoke.

On the other hand, Diltos actually enjoyed such an environment, especially the smell of sulfur in the poisonous smoke. Linde could feel that its mood was very happy.

Knowing that Lind was fine, Diltos simply landed on the sea and flew at a low altitude, especially choosing the place where the poisonous smoke was thickest.

Although the poisonous smoke obscured his vision, Linde could still clearly see that in the ocean that was shrouded in poisonous smoke and as hot as boiling water, there were also marine life activities, and they were not small in size, and some could also be seen on the volcanic reefs. Strange-shaped creatures, when Diltos flew over these creatures, these creatures were all scared and jumped into the boiling sea water.

Although Linde was not able to see the specific appearance of these creatures, he could still judge from their general shape that these creatures were not humans, but more like some kind of mutated seals or walruses and other marine creatures.

Soon Diltos flew across the Sea of ​​Smoke, and when Lind saw a towering cliff in front of him, he knew that he had entered the Valyrian Peninsula area.

According to records, during the doomsday catastrophe, first the volcanoes around Valyria erupted. The tsunami generated during the eruption flooded all the low-lying areas on the peninsula. The entire peninsula quickly subsided, and all the land around Valyria sank into the sea. The connection to the continent of Essos was completely disconnected.

After that, countless meteorites rained down from the sky. Some were lava rocks from volcanic eruptions, and some were real meteorites. For example, the Land of Long Summer was hit by multiple meteorites. The Dragon Kings of Valyria did not even There was no way to escape on a dragon, but all the dragons were destroyed in the catastrophe, and the towering cliffs formed by Lu Shen also discouraged anyone who wanted to enter Valyria to explore. Only a few people could find a way to board the land.

"Be careful!" Perhaps Diltos was crazy. It rushed towards the cliff without slowing down. When it was about to hit the cliff, it turned at an almost right angle and flew up against the cliff. Linde, who was sitting on his back, felt like he was on a roller coaster in his previous life.

After crossing the cliff and flying for a certain distance, Lind saw a ruined city similar to Oros. Compared to Oros, this ruined city was obviously worse. Basically, there were no buildings visible in the entire city. , the ground was covered with a thick layer of volcanic ash, some of which had turned into cement, completely sealing the entire city underground.

Linde guessed that this city should be Tria. There are rumors outside that there are still people living in Tria. Obviously this rumor is not reliable. Judging from the current situation of Tria, it is impossible for any living things to survive here. .

After Lind hovered hastily over Tria for a week, he flew towards the central Valyrian Free Fortress.

It can be seen from the accumulation of dust on the Valyrian Peninsula that the poisonous volcanic smoke erupted from the surrounding seas for hundreds of years has never spread to the surrounding areas. It has all been concentrated on the Valyrian Peninsula. This situation occurs not only because of the surrounding environmental problems, but also because of the chaotic magic that envelopes the entire Valyrian Peninsula, interfering with the surrounding material world like a black hole, absorbing everything that can be absorbed.

As it got closer and closer to Valyria, all the volcanic ash and poisonous smoke were pushed into the sky by an invisible magic power, forming patches of dark clouds. A large number of black and red lightning shuttled through the dark clouds, and gathered The volcanic ash was melted by lightning, turned into lava rain, and fell to the ground.

Because all the volcanic ash and poisonous smoke have been rolled into the sky, the areas close to the ground are not as filled with poisonous smoke as the outer areas. Apart from the lack of light, there is no difference from the outside world. Even the air can be breathed directly, but the air It doesn't smell very good, with a sulfur smell like rotten eggs, but at least it's much better than the poisonous smoke that can make you suffocate if you smell it in other places.

The surrounding environment was pitch black, and some things could only be seen clearly through lightning. Diltos was not used to such an environment. It directly used its lightning magic to turn itself into a luminous source and illuminate the surrounding environment.

At this time, Linde realized that they had actually flown over the ruins of Valyria, but it was just too dark to see clearly.

Through the light from Diltos, Lind could clearly see that the entire city of Valyria was full of craters. These craters were large enough to cover a city area, and small ones could fit into a manor, and the center of all the craters was They are all pieces of black stone with a grease-like surface. This is not the first time Lind has seen this kind of black stone. The towering tower in Old Town, the Sea Stone Seat in the Iron Islands, and the legendary Asshai are all made of this kind of black stone. Made of black stone.

Different from the black stone foundations seen in the towering tower, the black stones in these craters in front of them still exude strong chaotic magic. This is the source of the chaotic magic that envelopes the entire Valyria.

After seeing the black stone, Diltos was like a dog seeing a meat bun, eager to land on a black stone the size of a house.

However, Lind stopped it because he remembered the situation of the last person who rode a dragon to the ruins of Valyria. There were some terrible unknown creatures in Valyria, and these creatures attacked the black people. Balerion, the god of death, and his rider, Aria Targaryen, with some of these creatures inhabiting Aria's body.

All information showed that there were some unknown creatures here, and these creatures could even harm dragons like the Black Death, which made him have to be careful.

Lind asked Diltos to circle over the ruins of Valyria several times, not only to look for possible dangerous creatures, but also to determine the locations of various cities in Valyria to see if Valyria could be found. A place dedicated to hatching dragon eggs.

Linde soon discovered some clues on a hill located on the edge of the ruins. The hill was hit by three meteorites, and part of it had completely disappeared. Three huge craters were intertwined with each other, covering most of the area. The surface of a mountain.

There are a large number of keel bones scattered on the land around these craters, almost more than a hundred based on the number of skulls. And these keel bones are not all from adult dragons. There are some bones of young dragons mixed in, and the number is still large. Quite a few, it feels like a unified and domesticated dragon's lair.

Linde let Diltos fall, and Diltos couldn't wait to land on the largest of the three black stones, and then used his own method to quickly absorb the magic power contained in the black stone.

"Diltos, be careful!" Lind jumped off the dragon's back and reminded Diltos at the same time.

Diltos responded in a low voice, and then continued to absorb the magic power of the black stone.

Linde walked out of the crater without saying anything more and walked towards the pile of giant dragon bones he had just discovered.

Soon he came to the edge of the pile of bones. Although the entire pile of bones looked down from the air, it didn't feel too big, but when he walked closer, he could find that the area covered by this pile of dragon bones was enough to accommodate the next town of redemption. .

Just when Linde wanted to go in and explore to see if he could find the dragon egg, a strange sound came from not far away, causing him to stop.
