Chapter 297: The Origin of Dragon

Dan fell into deep thought.

He slowly replayed in his mind the itinerary of Benella after leaving Westeros. The queen mother traveled almost all over the known world. Wait, the map Dan drew in his mind suddenly connected. He had an impression of the journey that Benella had carved on the stone slab, and a very deep impression.

He remembered that Rey's notes on dragon research had sorted out various legends about the origin of dragons. According to the age, it seemed that there were legends about dragons active in the world long before the Valyrians appeared on the historical stage, some of which were reliable and some were not.

The obsidian throne in Dragon's Nest City was painted with a legend. According to the legend, the dragon came from the sky and was the product of the explosion of another moon. In the myth of Qarth, the moon was scorched by the proximity to the sun, and it broke like an egg, and millions of dragons rushed out of it. They reproduced on the earth and the sky.

Many places do not actually agree with this myth of dragons. But in addition to the legend that dragons were created by Valyria in the areas conquered by Valyria during its heyday, the myths and legends of more regions show that dragons were already flying in the ancient sky long before Valyria left the Fourteen Fire Peaks and even in the ancient times before the rise of the Kingdom of Dawn.

"Uncle, uncle." Baelor interrupted Dan's thoughts.

"What's the matter?" Dan suddenly realized and looked at his nephew with some confusion.

I saw Baelor holding a tattered notebook as if to seek credit. If it weren't for the familiar special golden leather cover, it would have been completely destroyed. "This was found in the interlayer of the dragon saddle."

Dragon leather notebook?

Dan immediately recognized the source of the cover of this notebook. In the era when Valyria was still prosperous, the dragon kings would use the leather of dead dragons to make indestructible books. Blood witches and fire warlocks used this technology to record mysterious and obscure magic. As Valyria was shattered by the fire of the Doom, most of the dragon skin books were lost. Only a small number of books remained in Asshai and Yidu. There was half a book in the library of the Citadel, and only three history books made of dragon skin were left in the library of the Vareses family.

Now only the Targaryen and Vareses families are capable of making dragon skin books.

The dragon skin of this notebook comes from Yangyan.

Even though it is damaged, it still has a beautiful color. The preservation of the pages inside cannot be said to be intact, but it can only be said to be almost completely damaged. Only the last few pages are still intact.

I don’t know whether it is due to the brittleness and damage of the paper caused by high temperature baking, the fading of the ink, or because of external forces. Let’s just call this Benila a diary. It’s hard to read it as a diary. Dan quickly browsed through the contents that can still be seen.

His face changed again and again, and when he carefully closed the book, only a long sigh remained.

Maybe Rey would be right, but no, it should be said that Rey would definitely be interested in Benella's fragments.

What was left was her diary from the time she flew from Qarth to Asshai, and then from Asshai to Sothoryos. A small part of it was repeated with the text on the back of the black slate, but there were more new things that were not mentioned.

Benella saw a huge petrified dragon bone in the wasteland east of Qarth. She said in her diary: "The skeleton of that dragon, the head alone is two-thirds of Moon Dancer's."

This can only mean one thing, that is, the dragon bone described by Benella is even larger than the current largest dragon, Wormisol.

But Wormisol is only over 100 years old, and his growth rate has almost stagnated, which is much slower than that of a young dragon. If the age of the dragon is recorded now, it is impossible for it to grow to the size of that dragon bone.

Benella seemed to know, or had long been prepared for the day when she could not bring these materials back to Westeros, so she did not miss any details in her diary. As a Targaryen royal, she had come into contact with the skulls of royal dead dragons, including Balerion, and the bones left on Dragonstone, so she could conclude that even if it had been petrified, the skeleton still belonged to a dragon. Dothraki and Jugsnai sometimes nomadically traveled in the wilderness, and the warriors among them would break off the unpetrified parts of the dragon bones to make their own dragon bone bows or as handles for weapons. The wealthy merchants of Qarth would also send expeditions deep into the wilderness to hunt for dragon bones.

But there were still many left.

Benila noticed that Moon Dancer had no special reaction when she saw these huge dragon bones. It just curiously flew around the huge remains of its kind for a few times, and then boredly enjoyed the wild horses it had just hunted. It seemed that it had nothing to do with it. Benila didn't know how the dragon would react when facing the corpses of its own kind, so she could only record them all.

Dan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Of course there would be no reaction. Although dragons have a certain degree of intelligence, they are still wild beasts that tend to be solitary. They may live in groups and form a certain order because of the close relationship with their companions and the fixed place of birth and living, but in the final analysis, dragons are quite self-centered creatures.

They can gnaw on the corpses of their own kind without any care - the gluttons of the past are typical, and they will naturally ignore the corpses of their own kind.

Benila broke off a piece of dragon bone as a souvenir. The dark white dragon bone has been sorted out by the maester and put aside.

After leaving the dragon burial ground in the wasteland, Benila went deep into the shadow land, preparing to visit the legendary land of eternal summer and the country without sun before heading to the magic city.

When entering the shadow land, Yuewu was still normal, but the deeper she went, the more excited Yuewu's performance became - or the more abnormal it became. After realizing something was wrong, Benila immediately changed direction and stopped going deep into the shadow land, and flew directly to Yasha.

She didn't know why Yuewu was getting more and more excited, she only knew one thing.

When passing by the ruins of a city, Yuewu suddenly lost contact with herself for a while. This was very abnormal for a dragon rider, and it was even a huge disaster.

With doubts, Benila won the respect of Yasha with her identity as a dragon rider. The cloud wizard in the high tower dispelled the dark clouds for her arrival. The Sunless City briefly had sunshine. The fire wizard welcomed the arrival of the dragon with grand fire magic. The moon singer and the pale holy child danced for the queen mother. The oldest blood wizard in the city - he fanatically worshipped Longzel and met with the queen mother in his tower.

Benila was able to freely read the great library of Yasha.

She found more things.

Dragon Nest City.

Longzel put down the long letter from Dan to him. He handed it to Rey, who had been eager to try.

"Benila has roughly found clues about the origin of the dragon."

Longzel has always been serious about this kind of thing. He gently stroked the armrest of the chair: "Dan will return with Beile soon, but he may have to go out again."

Lei glanced at Changxin and nodded: "If this is true, we can unite all the forces that can be united. But, brother, are you sure you can guarantee that everything will be foolproof?"

Longzel looked into his brother's eyes: "I can't guarantee it, but I have to do it."
