Chapter 296 The Life of a Legendary Explorer

Yi Zalkan?

Dan had no memory of this city, and neither did Baelor, so Dan decisively turned around and called to the maester. "Bachelor, is there any record about 'Yizharkan' in the city?"

The bachelor was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "The Academy knows very little about the world outside of Westeros, the nine major trading city-states, Qarth, Slaver's Bay, the Summer Islands, and the Basilisk Islands."

He is a top student in the city. When he graduated that year, Dr. Evans personally gave him a necklace. Among his necklaces was the one representing geography. However, even if he passed the city's geography exam, he would not dare to claim his knowledge of areas outside the known world.

"We have been deep into the rainforest for more than a month, and we have basically overturned the legend about Queen Nymeria's colonization of Sothoryos recorded in the city." The bachelor quickly recalled what he had learned and the notes he had taken during this period in his mind. In past records, Yimen Pagoda and Yilin were not far away, but after their on-site investigation, they found that Yimen Pagoda was a long distance away from Yilin. And the Yimen Tower is not the city gate tower of Yilin as in the previous records.

It is actually a separate castle.

But it is no longer possible to identify who built it and what it was built for.

What can only be confirmed is that the records indicate that the building materials of Yimen Pagoda and Yilin are both a strange oily black stone.

Dan remained silent and continued reading.

Benila didn't leave too many words on the slate. The simple words contained a lot of information. I don’t know if it’s due to material issues, but the text on these four black stone slabs is not seriously worn, and Benila’s words are clearly visible.

Leaving Yunkai, I met the Shadowbinder of Asshai here and received prophecies and blessings.

It seemed that the carving was done in a hurry, and the words at the beginning of the stone slab were as scrawled as the words describing the origin of the stone slab, but Dan, who had received a complete aristocratic education, had no trouble identifying it. Benila did not keep the content of the prophecy secret like a normal recipient of the prophecy. On the contrary, she wrote the prophecy in detail.

The Song of Earth and Water ended in the forgotten continent, and the Song of Ice and Fire began immediately. If you want to resist the darkness of the north, you have to face the shadow of the south. If you want to let the sun rise, you have to let the stars set.

Deciding to go to Yashai, Yuewu is not happy. Yashai is very depressing, there is no sunshine, and the food and water smell of sulfur. There are as many liars there as there are real people, but they all covet Yuewu, so after buying enough After obtaining the information and getting the help of a Yunkong mage, he flew to Sothoros.

Master Yunkong

Belle was also reading his aunt's records, and the young man quickly pulled out a ridiculous book he had read in his mind: "Uncle, I remember that Master Yunkong can control airflow. According to legend, the ancient Kingdom of Masters and The Yi Di Celestial Empire will hire Master Yunkong to make clouds and rain, but do they still exist?”

"Their group still exists in Yaxia." Dan explained briefly and continued reading.

The journey was not smooth, and we passed a city without the sun. Yue Wu was very frightened, and we must leave that cursed city immediately.

I encountered an attack. The attacker was not a human. It had wings like a bat, horns and hooves like a goat. It was red all over and its eyes seemed to be burning. Fortunately, Yuewu reacted in time and took me away from that annoying creature. biology. Although it has wings, it cannot fly, and the dragon flames of Moon Dance cannot kill it. This creature must be documented.

After arriving at the Rhoynar landing site, I was stung by a blood-sucking bug and had a slight fever, but no other unusual reactions.

Arriving at Yimen Tower, the water here is not drinkable directly.

Arriving in Yilin, I witnessed the sacrificial ritual of the lizard people in this city. They dug out the eyes of young male striped people and threw them into the pyramid in the center of the city. They dug out the hearts of the remaining humans and drained them dry. blood. The black stone soaked in blood could not be looked directly at, and Yuewu almost lost control.

They discovered Moon Dancer and summoned the Long Winged Dragon to attack us. The large Long Winged Dragon was easy to deal with, but the Shadow Long Winged Dragon was the biggest threat. Moon Dancer and I were both injured, and we were forced to flee to the south.

Arriving in a new city, Moon Dancer helped a tribe of striped people living nearby to repel the attack of striped ghouls. Their language was very similar to Valyrian, and they could roughly communicate. This city was larger than the Yilin. The larger city is called "Izarkan" in the language of the striped people.

Compared with Yilin, Yizharkan was not entirely built with oily black stone, but except for the area built with oily blackstone, all the buildings were damaged. However, different buildings can be roughly inferred by referring to the urban layout of Yilin. Surprisingly, the pyramid at the center of Yilin, in Yizarkan, is a deep pit with a visible bottom, where a group of shadowy pterosaurs and their ghoul servants have nested.

Moon Dancer defeated them. My wound was somewhat infected and I had to do my best to avoid coming into contact with anything from Sothoryos.

These four black stones were found in the deep pit, and the words on them cannot be deciphered. However, there are murals around the pit, which seem to correspond to the contents of the stone slabs, but I am not sure whether they are correct. The contents of the four murals are respectively.

The first mural. The lizard man with a feather crown is holding a harp and playing music. Two tributaries branch out from below, one drawing mountains and the other drawing a river. Humans with goat's horns worship the lizard wearing a feather crown on the river. people.

The second mural. Stars falling from the sky, a human with goat horns chiseled stones from meteorites and built a huge black city - don't ask why, the only color retained on the mural is the black of these stars and the city, and another human with goat horns stabbed the lizard man with a feather crown with a long sword. Surprisingly, the human has two faces, one in front and one in the back, which seems to represent two genders.

The third mural, the moon is broken, the dragon drilled out of the moon, and normal painted humans began to appear, which is consistent with the ancient legend about the origin of the dragon.

Please...collect 6...books...!

The fourth mural, the man killed the woman, the woman's blood flowed into the dragon's body, and a baby was being conceived in the dragon's belly. Behind the man is a shadowy black shadow painted with exaggerated brushstrokes.

I can't be sure what these contents mean, but I must take them back to Westeros. Prince Longzel may be able to interpret this information, but my wounds have grown worms. I tried to clean them, but found that they seemed to have settled in my internal organs. The witch doctor of the striped people had no way to solve this problem.

Girl bless, I am at least luckier than Princess Aria back then. These worms can't kill me in a short time. Maybe the Asshai people will have a way?

I tied myself to Moon Dancer. Moon Dancer's injuries healed slower than I thought. I hope she can hold on until we leave this strange land.

The beautiful handwriting ends here.

Dan couldn't help but take a breath.
