Chapter 280 Lava Dragon

"Dragon's Horn?" Seeing this huge horn, something immediately came to Lind's mind.

I saw that the horn was nearly two meters long, and its surface was covered with stripes of red gold and Valyrian black steel. There were a large number of Valyrian runes on these stripes. These runes were like dragons. Runes also contain powerful magic power, and these runes do not seem to be carved on them, but more like growing out of red gold and black steel. This also makes the surface of the horn even if it is covered with runes, it still It is as smooth as a mirror and can even reflect.

"Wouldn't the dragon's horn hurt the person who blew the horn? Why were the people who listened to the horn burned dry?" Linde couldn't help but have doubts after remembering the information about the dragon's horn in his mind.

He picked up the dragon's horn, then turned over the corpse lying on the altar, and looked at the corpse's appearance.

"A wizard from Qarth?" Seeing the blue skin, lips and nails, Lind immediately recognized that the dead body should be a wizard from Qarth.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Lind quickly thought of a possibility, that is, Jillian Lannister came to explore the ruins of Valyria, hiring slaves on the way, and wizards from Qarth also took the initiative to participate.

After that, they successfully arrived at the ruins of Valyria and went deep into the center of the city. Later, they didn't know why the wizard of Qarth wanted to blow the dragon's horn. Jillian Lannister and others wanted to stop it, but they were too late. , the end result is that those who blow the trumpet are burned to death, and those who hear the trumpet sound are also burned to death.

Linde didn't know if his guess was right. Even if it was wrong, it didn't matter much. The dead people were not important to him, only the dragon's horn was important. At least judging from the magic power fluctuations that Linde saw with his special vision, this one was not important. The magic power contained in the Dragon's Horn is not much worse than the armor of the Homeless Knight on him. It is definitely a very powerful magic item.

After getting the Dragon Horn, Lind felt that his trip was worthwhile and there was no need to stay any longer, so he was about to leave. However, when he passed by the body of Jillian Lannister, he found that Jillian Lannister There seemed to be something underneath Nister's body. Judging from Jillian Lannister's actions before his death, this item was so important that Jillian Lannister wanted to protect it until his death.

Out of curiosity, Lind turned over Gillian Lannister's body to reveal what lay underneath.

"Valyrian steel sword?" Lind looked at the obvious Valyrian steel pattern on the giant sword in front of him. His eyes moved to the golden lion head decoration on the hilt, and he couldn't help but guess: "Is this the Valyrian steel sword?" Guangxiao from the Nest family?”

At this time, Lind also remembered that the main reason why Jillian Lannister came to the continent of Essos was to find the lost clan sword Guangxiao. Now it seems that he has indeed found it.

Linde picked up the giant sword and looked at it. This giant sword was longer and thicker than Linde's Homeless Knight sword. The hilt was about the same length. Most people would probably need both hands to hold it. Able to swing, this should be the largest Valyrian steel sword Lind has ever seen.

Lind did not plan to take the Light Howl as his own, but planned to wait for an opportunity to return it to the Lannister family. Although Valyrian steel is still precious, especially when Lind mentioned Valyrian steel. After Yagang can kill the White Walkers, the price of Valyrian steel on the market has reached sky-high prices, and there is no market for it.

But since Lind was able to forge magic metal by himself, Valyrian steel is not that useful to him. Even if the magic metal he forges cannot be compared with Valyrian steel in terms of hardness and weight, But in terms of the tolerance of magic runes, there is not much difference between the two, and magic metal can be mass-produced.

What's more, now that he has found a magical material that may be useful and can be harvested sustainably, Valyrian steel becomes less and less important in his mind.

Instead of wasting this Light Howl in his own hands, it would be better to exchange something with the Lannister family.

Linde carried the Guangxiao giant sword behind his back and buckled it on the buckle originally used to equip the half-hand sword. Although it didn't fit well, it could barely be placed without affecting his movements, and then he carried the dragon's horn. , and left the temple.

On the way back, Linde suddenly sensed that Diltos became very excited and angry, as if he had been attacked. At the same time, a burst of lightning and thunder suddenly erupted in the dark periphery of the city in the distance. Diltos must be at war with something.

Linde didn't care about wasting the power of the runes, and directly used the Storm Dragon rune, soared into the air, and flew with all his strength in the direction of the flashing lightning.

It took Linde more than half an hour to get here, but only a few minutes to get back.

Diltos had already flown into the air, and the thunder and lightning on his body was released wantonly. The clouds filled with poisonous smoke and volcanic ash were torn apart, and rays of sunlight fell on the city of Valyria again after hundreds of years. In the light of the sun, Linde could clearly see what was fighting Diltos.

"Neltharion?" When he saw it for the first time, Lind couldn't help but think of a famous character from a certain game in his previous life, because the giant dragon fighting Diltos looked so similar. .

I saw that the dragon's heart was emitting the light of lava, illuminating its ribs. The body was surrounded by cracks. Drops of lava emerged from the cracks, dripped into the air, and turned into poisonous smoke. Zhang A ball of lava can be seen inside the opened dragon's mouth, constantly erupting flames. The dragon's eyes are also shining with the light of the lava ball. Even the blood vessels on its wings are flowing with lava, not so much the dragon. , it is more appropriate to call this monster Lava Dragon.

The size of this lava dragon is very huge. Although it cannot be compared with Glutton, it is at least five or six times the size of Diltos. The only difference between it and that classic character is that the body of this giant dragon does not have any Flesh and blood is a layer of dragon skin wrapped around the bones, as well as the blood vessels and heart flowing with lava.

The state of this lava dragon instantly reminded Lind of the corpses of the giant dragons he had seen on the road before. Obviously, those dragons should have been similar to this lava dragon in life.

Although it seemed that Diltos had the upper hand at the moment, and its flexible movements made the lava dragon's attack ineffective, Linde did not intend to be a bystander. He put down the dragon horn and prepared to help Diltos as soon as possible. End the fight to avoid attracting other Lava Dragons that may still be alive.

However, just as Linde was about to use the Storm Dragon Rune to fly into the sky, he stopped again. He looked thoughtfully at the Dragon Horn that he had just placed on the ground. He hesitated for a moment, then turned around and put the Dragon Horn away. Pick it up and place it between some gravels.

Then, he injected the power of the nameless king's runes into the Dragon's Horn. As the power of the nameless king's runes was injected into it, the mysterious Valyrian runes on the dragon's horn were lit up one by one, and emitted a harmonious and peaceful atmosphere. A red glow similar to the Sky Lava Dragon.

Until all the runes on the stripes were lit up, Lind put it to the mouth of the horn, took a deep breath, and blew hard.

A horn sound that resounded throughout the world came from the other end, instantly spreading throughout the Valyrian Peninsula, and even some remaining sounds could be vaguely heard in the Land of Long Summer.

The moment the horn sound was heard, Lind felt that Diltos had been affected by something. Some kind of power from blood or even genes was trying to control it, but it was still able to resist this control. And quickly gained the upper hand, until that control was gone.

As the enemy, the lava dragon looks much more serious than Diltos. Although it also tries to resist the more original control triggered by the Dragon Horn, it is obvious that its willpower and mental power cannot compete with Diltos. Altos was compared to each other, and he was quickly defeated and slowly fell from the air.

However, Linde was not in the mood to pay attention to the lava dragon's reaction at this time. After he blew the horn, a powerful and scorching magic power poured into his body. This magic power was so strong that he had to mobilize the unknown king with all his strength. The runes absorb this magic power. Fortunately, the magic power explodes but is not chaotic. The Nameless King Rune can absorb the magic power very well and integrate it into the runes.

And Lind discovered that as this magic power was absorbed by the Rune of the Unknown King, a new extremely complex rune was added to the Rune of the Unknown King, and this rune was like the Valyrian rune on the stripes of the Dragon's Horn. Like the source rune of the text, the characteristics of those Valyrian runes can be found in this rune.

"No wonder anyone who blows the dragon's horn will be burned to death. Such powerful scorching magic even hurts me, let alone ordinary people." Linde felt some burns at the corners of his mouth and throat, and even blisters, and he felt in his heart I couldn't help but sigh.

However, Linde had no intention of paying attention to his burns at the moment, because there were more important things waiting for him, the lava dragon in front of him that had been tamed by the Dragon's Horn.

The reason why it is said to be domesticated is because after the lava dragon landed, it stayed quietly in front of Linde. It stared at Linde with eyes like lava balls, but made no move to attack Linde.

"Get down." Lind tried to use High Valyrian to order the lava dragon.

Like a domesticated puppy, the lava dragon immediately fell to the ground upon hearing Lind's command.

At this time, Diltos, who had completely eliminated the influence of the horn's power, also fell next to Linde. It looked at the enemy with doubts that the enemy that had been fighting it desperately just now had no hostility at all, but it did not just relax its vigilance. , the thunder and lightning on his body still flashed from time to time.

Lind asked Diltos to stay aside, while he walked to the side of the lava dragon and looked at the lava dragon up and down.

He could see that the magic power on the lava dragon was very strong, not much worse than the current Diltos, and that its magic power source was not in one place, but in four places. The heart, throat and eyes were all sources of its magic power. And this source of magic power is also the reason why it takes on such a terrifying image.

Linde tried to use the Frozen Dragon Rune, forming a cold air on his hand. He could clearly see that when the cold air appeared, the lava dragon instinctively wanted to avoid it, but the control power generated by the dragon's horn made it impossible. It has no way to move.

Judging from all the circumstances, Linde's previous guess was correct. The formation of the lava dragon was indeed due to being parasitized by that soft-bodied creature, and the entire body was transformed by the parasitic creature. However, even so, deep inside the dragon's genes The origin has not changed, and the dragon's consciousness may even still exist, otherwise it would not be affected and controlled by the dragon's horn.

Lind could feel that he could control any dragon whose bloodline was inspired by the Dragon's Horn through the Valyrian runes. He didn't even have to worry about others using the Dragon's Horn to control the dragon, because Lind owned the Valyrian runes. The Leah Rune is the most fundamental rune. Even if someone else blows the horn and controls the dragon, Lind can easily regain control of it through the Valyrian Rune.

What kind of secret power are hidden in these Valyrian runes and dragon horns requires specialized people to conduct specialized research. Lind can't wait to return to Summer Hall.

However, there is still one thing he needs to do now, which is to confirm whether this lava dragon can leave here, and whether it will be affected by parasitic organisms and can only stay in Valyria, a special environment full of chaotic magic.

After all, after so many years, there have never been legends about lava dragons around Yanhai. If lava dragons can really live outside, then anyone who sees a lava dragon will definitely be deeply impressed and some legends should be left behind.

But then I thought about it, maybe the legend of the lava dragon was just describing it in another form, such as a demon.

There have always been legends around the Sea of ​​Smoke about demons and sea monsters haunting the Sea of ​​Smoke. The sea monsters have been seen before, but the demons have not been seen since entering the Valyrian Peninsula. Now think about the lava The form of a dragon flying in the poisonous smoke of the sea of ​​smoke indeed looks like a demon from the seven hells.

Lind asked Diltos to guard beside the Dragon Horn. He walked to the side of the lava dragon, stepped on the lava dragon's spread wings, and climbed to the root of the lava dragon's neck, where there was a piece of dragon skin that had no cracks and no lava flowing. Sit down and control the lava dragon to fly.

Unlike Diltos, which can directly take off on the spot, the Lava Dragon needs to spread its wings and run a certain distance before it can fly, and its flying speed is not slower than Diltos at all, because when it flaps its wings, a heat flow It will generate and form thrust, pushing the lava dragon to fly faster like a flame.

Although it is not slower than Diltos, its flexibility is much inferior. No wonder it was completely passive during the battle with Diltos just now.

This was just a test. Lind had no intention of flying out of the Valyrian Peninsula like this. That would be a waste of time. He controlled the lava dragon to fly directly upwards and vertically, and got into the dark clouds formed by poisonous smoke and volcanic ash in the sky. They soon reached the edge of the dark clouds, and the lava dragon showed a trace of resistance, unwilling to continue flying upward. This was obviously not the dragon's consciousness, but more like the instinct of a parasitic creature.

But driven by Linde, the lava dragon finally continued to fly upward for a certain distance, got out of the thick dark clouds, and reached the cold high altitude.

Flames immediately burst out from the lava dragon's body to resist the cold at high altitude, but it did not instantly petrify and die when encountering the cold like a parasitic creature.

Seeing that the lava dragon could survive in the outside world and even move in extremely cold environments at high altitudes, Linde nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Give you a name! Let's call it Neltharion."

I don't know if it was because he understood Linde's words or for other reasons, the lava dragon let out a long roar of joy.
