Chapter 311: Archon of Valantis
"It's nice to see you again, Yimon."
In the port of Valantis, the air was filled with a strong smell of fishy, floral, feces, and decay.
The girl with a fiery red ponytail, Mia, still had two daggers tied to her thigh. After seeing him, she took the initiative to walk over to Viselis and greeted her.
Naturally, the expedition is not mandatory. There are many mercenaries who join in and still have the right to go back before signing the contract.
After all, everyone knows that exploring the ruins of Valyria is very dangerous. It can be counted as a life of nine deaths. If it weren't for being driven to a dead end, no one would choose such a path.
But unfortunately...
There are not a few people in this world who are driven to a dead end.
"I'm not sure if I am happy to meet you, Mia."
And Veselis, wearing a leather armor, heard Mia's voice, turned his head to look at the girl in front of him, and shook his head and said.
Mia was the first Valantis he had known, and it was also Veselis who put down the king's arrogance and made a friend as an ordinary person for the first time after coming to this world.
In fact, compared to being a lofty king, countless people watched every word and deed. Viserys' freedom in Valantis these days seems more in line with his inner yearning, because he was an ordinary person in his previous life.
This is a dangerous idea.
Robert thought so too, and later he died.
Since becoming a king is like a canary trapped in a cage, of course he can't act arbitrarily, so Veselis cherishes this opportunity to go out alone.
But because of this, Viselis joked that he didn't want to see the girl, because the Valyria ruins were perilous.
And Mia's character is lively and straightforward, and she naturally understands that it is not that Veselis does not want to see her as a friend, but that she is worried about the danger for her.
"It's okay, I'm glad that it's enough to meet you."
The girl looked very optimistic, squinted her pretty eyes, and said with a smile.
Mia's appearance may be flawed, she is not a beautiful girl, but her eyes are very beautiful, with sunshine.
"I believe the gods will bless me."
"If He wants me to die, I would have died many years ago."
When Viselis heard Mia's words, his brows stretched slightly, and a little smile appeared.
This kind of free chatting feels really good, instead of facing all kinds of uniform and respectful faces every day, and Mia's optimism has also affected him, and his mood has become much more comfortable.
"Do you know our route this time?"
"No, where are we qualified to know such secrets."
And Mia shook her head like a rattle.
"These are the secrets only those big men can know."
"Too."
Veselis thought for a while and nodded in approval, without further questioning.
In his hand, he holds a road map drawn by Jilian. This route can theoretically pass through the layers of smoke and eventually reach this lost civilization.
It's just that so many years have passed, and now the gray fog is rioting, what kind of things and changes must have occurred in Yanhai, this road map is still not aware of whether it is used by Viselis.
However, he did not expect to be able to successfully explore the secrets once. The main thing is to follow the large forces to let them explore the way. If this time fails, he can also summon Bellerion to take him away and look for the next opportunity.
But while Veselis was chatting with Mia.
Woo-
There was a melodious horn from the port of Valantis, and twenty warships of various sizes were ready.
On the coast, there were thousands of explorers, most of whom were slaves.
The ruling officer of Valantis is overwhelmingly powerful, and the Tiger Party has lost its position as the dominant party for nearly three hundred years since the end of the **** war.
The Elephant Party has always firmly controlled the Valantis government and maintained the status of more than two consuls.
Viselis and Mia were not very eye-catching standing among the crowd. He saw the ‘boss’ who organized this operation, the sole governor of the Tiger Party, Maragio Megaya.
This is an old man who has lost his teeth and has not much hair left. However, he is still in uniform on the back of an elephant, his eyes are piercing, and he lives up to the prestige of a tiger.
"This is an old tiger, if you don't have to, it's best not to mess with him."
"Imon."
Mia explained in a low voice in Veserys's ear.
Veserys claimed to be an adventurer from Tylosi in the expedition.
Tylosi was not far from Valantis but not too close, and Tylosi also had a lot of people with silver hair and purple eyes such as Viselis, so it was not a strange thing.
And Tyrosi is very close to Westeros, so some of the residents on the island can speak the lingua franca of Westeros, and Veselis happens to be able to switch between the two languages seamlessly, naturally there is no doubt.
Viselis nodded slightly when he heard the girl's words.
"Ok, I know."
Immediately after feeling the stern gaze of the guard of the Maraccio Archon, the two of them closed their mouths, not wanting to make trouble for themselves.
Maragio Meguya, the ‘Late Tiger’ in a military uniform, was sitting on the elephant’s back, with his back straight and speaking loudly, while Viselis below was uninterested.
He doesn't know how many times he has heard this kind of uniform morale-boosting rhetoric, and he has always played the role of a speaker before.
He previously thought that his impassioned speech was exchanged for the excitement and morale of the soldiers.
And now mixed in the crowd, Veserys only heard the low chuckles of people around ~www.NovelMTL.com~ and discussing whether this old thing can be "lifted up".
"It turns out that listening to the lecture below turned out to be like this."
Weselis hasn't heard the talk for a long time, so that he forgot this feeling, and now it seems that he wants to reduce the time of speaking in the future.
And when Veserys was a little distracted.
The old consul Maraccio finally finished his speech, and then the old man rode an elephant and left the scene surrounded by guards.
Of course he doesn't go by himself.
Everyone knows that exploring the ruins of Valyria is a matter of life and death, and Valantis has broken and sunk in the sand several times before.
History has proved that the probability of surviving with more people has increased a lot, but no one can guarantee that he must be the lucky one.
The expedition this time was just a counterattack by the Tiger Party, hoping to find some ancient technology, precious treasures, even magic, dragon eggs and so on left by Valyria from the ruins.
