Chapter 301 Big Trouble

Compared with the size when I last saw Diltos, Diltos is now more than double the size, and the skin on the surface exudes a gem-like light. It looks like it is shining one by one. Bright gems are set into its stone skin.

It is precisely because the body has grown a lot that the proportions of its body and head look much more coordinated, unlike at first like a big-headed doll.

Although Diltos fell into a deep sleep, it was not unprotected. There was a mist like morning frost surrounding it.

This layer of aerosol looks very ordinary, but under this ordinary appearance, it hides murderous intent. From the various frozen monsters in the aerosol, it is not difficult to see that the freezing effect of this layer of aerosol is no better than Linde's Frozen Dragon Rune is weak.

The last time Lind searched in the ruins of Valyria, he saw no other creatures except parasites, but now judging from the frozen monsters, it is clear that Valyria has more species than expected. Richer.

There are large spiders with more than a dozen legs, worms with mouthparts on their bodies, and some kind of beasts that are rotting and look like dead bodies. In short, they are all completely mutated creatures.

In addition, Lind also discovered that as the volcanic ash and poisonous smoke in the sky became thinner, the magic power full of radiation effects on the surface of the black stone seemed to be much stronger, and it had a very weird stickiness.

When the black stone magic falls on the body, it will adhere to the surface of the body and will not dissipate for a long time, just like radiation dust.

Lind walked around Diltos and checked Diltos's condition. After finding nothing unusual, he did not step forward to wake up Diltos because he could feel that this sleep was harmful to Diltos. Toth was very important, so he left the lava dragon Neltharion behind to protect Diltos, while he went to the nearby ruins to see if there were any other discoveries.

The surrounding environment has not changed much from the last time Lind came, because sunlight can penetrate the volcanic ash in the sky and shine on the ground. He can also use these not very bright lights to see clearly many things that he ignored last time.

For example, when the Doomsday Disaster struck, the Valyrian people had no time to take away all kinds of wealth, just gold and silver ornaments. Linde also discovered many items made of Valyrian steel.

No wonder the outside world has been hearing rumors that there are treasures everywhere in the ruins of Valyria. As long as you can enter the ruins and leave alive, you can get enough wealth to enjoy it for a lifetime.

Although this rumor sounds a bit exaggerated, in fact it is not much different. Just finding Valyrian steel jewelry from the Valyrian remains in the ruins is enough for an ordinary person to live a prosperous life. A lifetime.

This is just the wealth that Lind found just by looking at it. The treasure hidden under these ruins is probably an astonishing astronomical figure. Stimulated by this huge treasure, Lind also thought about what he had thought about before. The idea of ​​building another Black Cave near the ruins of Valyria was considered, and the possibility of it was started to be considered.

While thinking about how to take the ruins of Valyria as his own, Lind continued to walk through the ruins, and soon he came to the outside of the hall where the Dragon's Horn was stored again.

Originally, Linde had no intention of going in and taking a look, but when he was passing by, he accidentally glanced at the corpses outside the hall and discovered something was wrong. These corpses had been touched. Pass.

"Someone also entered the ruins of Valyria?" Lind was surprised and immediately turned around and walked towards the main hall.

When he walked to the corpses outside the hall, Linde quickly looked at the remaining traces on the corpses and confirmed that the corpses had indeed been moved. Judging from the new dust covering the corpses and surrounding areas, the time It's still very close, only a few days at most.

After entering the hall, Linde saw that the altar containing the Dragon Horn had been dismantled and moved away.

Linde was not very impressed with that altar. He just confirmed that there were no special runes or anything like that on the surface of the altar. It was just made of a special material and was made of black stone. But this black stone was different from the greasy black stones outside. There is a huge difference. It feels like the black stone fortress under the towering tower in the old town. It is the kind of black stone that has lost its power.

"What's the use of that kind of black stone?" Lind felt confused for a while, because although the number of black stones that have lost their power is not large, it is not difficult to get. They are used in many colonies of the Valyrian Free Fortress. If you want to take away the architectural remains made of black stone, why would anyone take the risk to come here and move this black stone altar?

Just when Lind was confused about what was happening in front of him, there was suddenly a slight movement in the hall, and he turned his head and looked over.

I saw several figures tremblingly walking out from a corner not far away, then suddenly rushed forward and rushed towards Linde.

But before several figures could get close to Linde, they were instantly frozen into ice by the power of the Frozen Dragon Rune.

"Ghoul?" Linde looked at these ice sculptures and frowned.

The eyes of these figures were silver-blue, their faces had traces of decay to varying degrees, and their skin was the color of ice. All these characteristics indicated that they should all be corpses.

Linde was certain that these ghouls did not exist in this hall last time. Obviously these ghouls should be in the same group as the people who removed the altar. From the details of the Iron Islands ironmen clothes worn by the ghouls, etc., It is not difficult to guess that these wights were most likely the ironborn who left Euron.

Linde has been looking for Euron for a long time, but Euron is like a fish in the deep sea, always able to hide quickly after his whereabouts are exposed.

So what Lind can do is to blockade the Stepstone Islands to prevent Euron from entering the Narrow Sea. On the west coast, Asha and the others will block the coastal waters. Old Town and Qingting Island also cooperate with Lind to carry out the Summer Sea. Make a blockade.

However, even so, Euron was still able to come to the ruins of Valyria, which means that Euron most likely bypassed all the blockades from the unknown waters outside the Sunset Sea and came to the ruins of Valyria. .

It is also possible that he has mastered a route heading west from the Sunset Sea, bypassing half of the world, and returning to the Essos continent from Asshai on the other side of the world, just like Alyssa Farman back then.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Linde felt that he was in big trouble.

Euron himself is not scary, even the current Asha can deal with him. The real trouble is that the ghouls in front of him show that Euron has a way to bring the ghouls outside the wall from the sea to anywhere else, one or two ghouls It's nothing, but if he uses the ships of his Iron Fleet to bring thousands of ghouls to the south of the Great Wall, the damage and impact on the world south of the Great Wall will be catastrophic.

However, what makes Lind happy is that for some reason, the White Walkers cannot bypass the Great Wall in this way. It may be that the power of some kind of law is restricting them, or it may be that there are existences in the ocean that make them worry. Otherwise, , for so many years, he and Vilas have continued to strengthen the power of the Great Wall, which is in vain, and all parts of the world are no longer safe.

Just when Lind was suffering from a headache due to the sudden appearance of wights in the ruins of Valyria, on a hillside in the outskirts of Qarth, Daenerys, with her hair burnt, had already recovered from the sadness of the death of her loved ones. After recovering, she gathered her men in her tent to discuss what to do next. Beside her, three dragons were playing and playing, attracting the attention of people in the tent from time to time.

Ago, who is Daenerys's bloodrider, spoke first: "My blood, we should go directly westward, loot the cities along the way, rob enough wealth, and recruit enough people, so that we can help you obtain that iron chair. ”

In that fire, Khal Drogo and his bloodriders were all burned to death. Argo was one of the bloodriders selected by Daenerys from among the many Dothraki and appointed by Daenerys. One of the bandits.

He used to be a marksman under Khal Drogo, but his status was not very high and he was not qualified to enter the tent to drink. This also indirectly saved his own life. After seeing Daenerys' miraculous scene, He surrendered to Daenerys and was extremely loyal to her.

"No!" Halton objected: "The fire not only killed many Dothraki officers and generals, but also many captains of the Golden Company died in the fire. The army has not yet completed integration, so it should not be launched at this time. War, and the food in our hands is also a big problem now. Based on the current food reserves, we can barely survive for three days. If we start a war under this situation, I am afraid it will be detrimental to us. "

Since Young Aegon and Jon Connington were burned to death, Maester Haldon, Sister Lemore, Knight Raleigh Duckfield, and Obara Sand, who was sent by Prince Oberyn, have all turned to follow Daenerys becomes a close vassal.

Ago said with disdain: "Three days of food is enough. We just need to rob food from the cities along the way."

"If we do that, we will have no foothold in this area." Halton retorted: "All cities will resist us, and they will hire other Kaos to besiege us. When the time comes, we..."

"Halton, stop talking!" Daenerys frowned, interrupted Halton, and then turned to Argo and said: "Stop talking about the proposal to plunder the city. I want to hear Other more useful suggestions.”

"It's my blood." A Ge responded with his head lowered.

Jorah Mormont suggested at this time: "We can actually advance towards Qarth and force Qarth to pay tribute. In the past, they also paid tribute to Khal Drogo. Now you have mastered Khal Drogo's army. And with the support of the Golden Company, which is more powerful than Khal Drogo, Qarth has no reason not to pay tribute to you."

"What if Qarth doesn't pay tribute?" After Sir Harry Strickland succeeded the burned-to-death Mith Toyne as the leader of the Golden Company, he has been busy integrating all forces within the group and appointing a new commander. Today was the first time he appeared in front of Daenerys, and he had just sworn allegiance to Daenerys in front of everyone.

"Then fight." Blood Alliance guard Rakhalo said without hesitation.

"Hehe!" Obaya Sand laughed twice. Although the sound was not loud, it sounded a bit harsh to Rakaro.

"Woman, are you laughing at me?" Rakaro said, glaring at Obaya.

"I think people must use their brains when speaking, and don't think about what they say." Obaya said with a very obvious look of ridicule: "Qarth is not one of those small towns. It has triple walls and tight defenses. We We don’t have any siege equipment on hand, should we just ride our horses and hit the wall?”

"You..." Rakaro looked angry and moved his hand to the scimitar on his waist, as if he wanted to do something to Obaya. Others around him saw this scene but unusually did not stop him. Even Dan Nelisse didn't even speak.

On the other hand, Obaya looked very calm, but her hand was also placed on the spear beside her.

However, this tense atmosphere did not last long. Laclo seemed to have suppressed his emotions. He moved his hand away from the scimitar and gave up attacking Obaya. The others also smiled as if they had expected it. .

Obaya resigned from the position of leader of the Miracle Harbor Women's Camp a few years ago, and went to the continent of Essos to follow little Aegon at the command of the Red Viper. However, for some reason, Aegon assigned Dany to Liz acted as bodyguard.

Some time ago, she came here with Daenerys. The other female guards were ridiculed by the Dothraki warriors because of their identities. As a result, she directly used a gun to knock down the Dothraki warriors who laughed at her to the ground, and Rakhalo It's one of them.

That day, a dozen Dothraki warriors together couldn't defeat Obaya, let alone him now alone. Although he has a reckless personality, he is not stupid and will not do anything to humiliate himself.

"Obara, do you have any good ideas?" Ouba is the first person to follow Daenerys. Others such as Jorah, Halton and others followed Viserys or Little Aegon, so Daenerys is also very close to her and consults her on many matters.

Obaya said: "Actually, we are just short of food now, not money. We have a lot of money on hand and can definitely buy food."

"Qarth doesn't have so much food to sell to us." Harry Strickland said solemnly.

"They don't have it in Qarth, but the Miracle Chamber of Commerce does." Obaya smiled and said to Daenerys: "Your Majesty, the dragon rune necklace that Lord Linde gave you back then is the best proof of identity. The main thing is Show the necklace to the head of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in Qarth, and he will definitely satisfy you as long as the request is not too excessive. Collecting enough food and grass in a short time is not a big problem for the Miracle Chamber of Commerce."

When Daenerys heard this, she couldn't help but take out the necklace hanging around her neck, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it. Others around her also looked at the necklace in unison.

"In this case, follow your method and purchase enough food and grass from the Miracle Chamber of Commerce first." Daenerys made a decision.

At this time, someone entered the tent and informed Daenerys that Qarth had sent a messenger to ask for an audience. This surprised everyone present. They had just mentioned Qarth, and the next moment Qarth sent someone, This was such a coincidence that they felt like their every move was being monitored.
