Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon
Chapter 249: Valyria's Secret
The fiery red clouds reflected the cracked and ruined land everywhere, as if the catastrophe four hundred years ago was still going on today.
The air was filled with the stench of sulfur, and from time to time a stream of heat erupted from the cracks in the ground, burning the land with unbearable heat.
The Valyrian Peninsula was once a prosperous land, but now, as if it had been hit by an asteroid, there were huge craters and cracked ground everywhere, and the earth was opened and torn apart by terrifying forces.
When entering the four-hundred-year-old world's first city, Valyria, even though it is in ruins, it is still shocking.
The city is collapsed and broken, but the area is very huge. Although many parts are trapped in pits and cracks where red magma can be seen, you can still see a trace of this city from the huge, broken black stone buildings filled with volcanic ash. The majesty of the city.
As a large city in the world of ice and fire, it covers a very large area. Huge, towering black stone walls stretch to the extreme distance. The city forms several large areas around several collapsed volcanoes, covering a huge area, although most of them are now buried and collapsed. , but those huge broken city walls and giant towers are still shocking.
But no matter how prosperous and majestic it once was, it is now a dead city.
It is deathly silent, with countless dead bones buried in the broken buildings and no one has gathered them. A large number of dragon skeletons are laid out under the gray-white volcanic lime. Only the strong wind carrying the heat wave moves through the broken streets of the market.
After all, this city had been abandoned for more than four hundred years, with no survivors or visitors.
From a distance, the black city walls look tall and majestic, but up close, they are all ruins. The black stones refined by the Valyrian people with special techniques originally seemed to be painted with gold paint and colorful glass paintings, which were magnificent and magnificent. , there are also gem inlays on the tower. But as time went by, the gold paint disappeared, the glass turned into shards, the paintings were no longer distinguishable, and the tower's gems were broken and buried on the ground. Only hard black stone bricks and bones were left, including those of humans, dragons, and unknown beasts.
It can be seen that when disaster strikes, there are still people trying to survive.
The broken arches of this dilapidated city are the places with the most human bones. These people seemed to want to escape, but were engulfed and killed by the shock waves caused by horrific rockfalls, lava, and meteorites similar to those struck by asteroids during volcanic eruptions. Turned into white and damaged skeletons.
The narrow alleyways in the city are complicated, and collapsed and damaged buildings are leaning against each other. Looking around, you can see the miserable state of human beings everywhere, with faded burn marks, human bones, keels, and gravel. Under the red sky, everything is a depressing color of gray, white, and black.
Viserys thought that if anyone walked into the city through the main entrance, it would feel like they were walking into a molten hell.
They flew over the ruins of collapsed houses in the city, past the giant collapsed buildings that intersected in a certain street, and found the route to the Royal City of Valyria on a majestic street specially left by the city builders, large enough for a hundred-meter dragon to pass through. route.
Of course, there are other things besides the withered bones that no one has collected on the ruins of Valyria. Although the armor and weapons are sparse compared to the piled skeletons, they fly to the city from a certain gate after entering the city. At this distance from the road leading to the royal city, Viserys had already seen many armors and weapons buried in volcanic ash, piles of rocks and piles of skeletons.
I just wonder if those are all Valyrian steel products.
In addition to Valyrian steel, this sudden death city also has endless wealth. As long as you rummage through the ruins, I believe that the adventurers who arrive here can find countless gems, gold and silver, treasures, and even dragon eggs from the ruins.
This dead city was destroyed too suddenly, and the remaining dangers were too terrifying. Over the past four hundred years, countless wizards, black magicians, scholars, adventurers, treasure hunters, pirates, and giant businessmen have tried to travel here and find it. , digging for treasures buried after the apocalypse, but all failed.
Either they never return and are lost on the vast sea, or they go crazy for some reason, saying that this land is haunted by demons and cursed by the gods. Gradually, people dare not approach it, saying that one look at this coast is doomed. Good to die.
According to the records of the school city, in the past four hundred years, the most recorded adventurers have only followed the "Devil's Road" from the north to Oros in the south of the Sea of Sighs, but no one has ever been heard of venturing in Oros. After making a fortune, the adventurer's team is often wiped out. Only occasionally a crazy survivor escapes from the Land of Long Summer, claiming that Oros is haunted by demons and that there is a curse in the city.
In the south of the broken Valyrian Peninsula, the sky seems to always be a cursed red land. In the past four hundred years, not a single survivor has sent back the news. In the past four hundred years, only Euron Ge Ray Joy claimed he had been there and escaped unscathed.
Because the land of the Valyrian Peninsula rose after the Doomsday Catastrophe, it was surrounded by cliffs. Only the Sea of Smoke area connected to the continental shelf could be landed - the Sea of Smoke was a volcanic, ever-boiling area formed after the collapse of the broken Valyrian Peninsula. The terrifying sea area - but the sea water is boiling in the Sea of Smoke, and there are even rumors that there are terrible demons and sea monsters haunting the Sea of Smoke.
And these strange rumors are not groundless. The volcano that sank into the sea in the Sea of Smoke erupts from time to time, and the volcanic miasma and poisonous gas are rampant. Ordinary humans cannot stay in such an environment, and it is not impossible for sea monsters to survive the doomsday catastrophe. The Sea of Smoke is adjacent to the capital of Valyria. From the memory of the Dragonbinder, Viserys learned that there was once a saltwater lake flowing into the sea, where the two rivers of the Valyrian city converged into the sea. It was once a sea monster breeding ground for the Valyrians to satisfy the dragons' consumption of food.
Viserys guessed that Euron should have landed from the Sea of Smoke and entered the southern part of the Valyrian Peninsula through some means.
But it is very likely that Euron did not come in person, but was possessed by the ability of the skinchanger, and he may not have really arrived in the city.
If Euron really arrived in the city and saw what Viserys saw, Viserys believed that any ambitious person would not be able to bear seeing this treasure mountain and only take away a set of Valyrian armor, a few daggers and a dragon egg.
Since they have the ability to come the first time, they must have the ability to come the second time.
And this dead land has the wealth that the Valyrians have accumulated from thousands of years of colonizing Essos and plundering from all over the world. Even if Euron is a ruthless person and can hold back and not consider those treasures, the Valyrian steel products in the ruins alone are enough for him to take out in exchange for more wealth than he would have plundered for several years if he came one or two more times.
To be honest, as he entered the Royal City Avenue, he saw more and more huge dragon bones buried in ashes and pits, and armor and weapons with a corner exposed on the broken avenue. Even Viserys, the "demigod" and "king", felt his heartbeat speed up and he was restless.
Especially when he saw the obvious piles of armor piled up in groups on the avenue, which were submerged in volcanic ash with the naked eye - these were obviously the guards of the Royal City fleeing in groups, so it is likely that their armor and weapons are Valyrian steel products. Even if Valyrian steel cannot arm so many people, the guards coming out of the Royal City are at least wearing hybrid steel.
Even on the main road to the royal city, there are so many things that are dazzling to the eyes. What should the palace look like?
Viserys looked towards the royal city of Valyria.
Although there was a large-scale collapse there, combined with the memory of the dragon binder and the layout of the city, it can be easily seen from its dilapidated magnificent architectural specifications and style that it is the royal city, the capital where the archons and chief dragon kings elected by the forty dragon king families of Valyria live.
The huge towering towers are the residences of the dragon king archons and their ministers and allied dragon king families. Those towering towers that once soared into the sky are the most magnificent and magnificent buildings in Valyria. In order to sit on the top of power, the forty dragon king families lived there, fighting each other and fighting cruelly.
The Targaryen family was just the weakest and farthest from the center of the forty dragon king families.
Now, the towering towers that symbolize the highest power of Valyria have collapsed in the Doomsday catastrophe, turning into ruins, and some are sunk deep into the ground, falling into pits covered with lava.
When the Doomsday catastrophe came, the Dragon King died with the civilians and slaves, and the dragons, like ordinary birds and beasts, had no way to survive.
"Are we going to the royal city?" Viserys looked at Fremi, "At this point, your gods should tell you what the 'Key of Fire' is, right? This city is so big, and the palace alone is two leagues long. If you don't know what that thing is and can't sense it, how long will it take for us to find it aimlessly?"
Fremi controlled the pterosaur, which was very weak after being resurrected because the clean food it brought was exhausted: "I don't know if the destination is the royal city or somewhere else, I only know it's in this direction."
Viserys's body is now deliberately reduced to only a dozen meters, and he and the pterosaur carefully shuttled through the city.
A dozen meters is already a behemoth for ordinary people.
But after entering the ruined city of Valyria, Viserys, who was more than ten meters tall, and the pterosaurs, who were four or five meters tall, were like two tiny dots compared to this huge ruined city. Looking down from the sky, they were so small that they were not even as big as a collapsed tall building.
In this ruined city, there were hundreds of such buildings, and compared with the area of the entire city, even if Viserys became the largest form, he was just a slightly larger black dot compared to this city.
It was like two planes flying into a big city
Fremi had an "oracle" leading the way, and Viserys could only choose to believe it.
Of course, Viserys would not let down his guard easily.
This dead city may not be dead.
Viserys did not forget that there was a mysterious plot hidden behind the scenes in the Targaryen family, his and Daenerys' bloodline, and secretly working.
Maybe the things that the Red God asked Fremi to find will eventually belong to that guy.
If Viserys were the mysterious being, the royal city would undoubtedly be one of the most likely hiding places.
But as Viserys and Fremi flew over the royal city, nothing unexpected happened. Only the cracked ground in the royal city occasionally erupted with black smoke and pungent magma, which almost provoked Viserys to counterattack.
It can be seen that the royal city of Valyria seemed to be deliberately built on the magma river underground, so when the royal city collapsed, there was a red magma river below, and this never-extinguishing magma river connected the Fourteen Fire Peaks Four hundred years have passed since the volcanic lava lake, and the cracks in the collapsed surface are still filled with hot lava.
The damage to the royal city was very serious.
There are several pieces of volcanic rock as big as small hills that were obviously thrown down from a distance like meteorites during the eruption of the Shilihuo Peak volcano. It is hard to imagine what a terrifying impact and impact it caused at that time, so that huge volcanic rocks were formed. Crater.
The terrifying impact left terrifying ring patterns on the surface of the royal city, destroying and destroying all blocking buildings.
Here in the royal city, Viserys saw huge keels comparable to the dragon skeletons found underground on Dragonstone Island. There were even individual keels on the ruins that were even bigger than the collapsed houses nearby.
Viserys just glanced at it and saw at least three 200-meter-level dragon skeletons and mountains of skeletons made of rubble and ashes. Most of these huge dragon bones were buried underground, or even fractured and collapsed, but only the skeletons were exposed. Part of it makes people feel frightened.
This shows how powerful the Valyrian dragons were in those days. They were invincible in the world. How powerful were they?
But even such a powerful Valyria can only end up falling in the face of the power of the true god.
Viserys suddenly woke up and withdrew his thoughts from the dragon bones and ruins.
The gods of this world just don't take action very often, but it's not that they don't have truly great power. Only by becoming an existence like them can we truly escape the fate controlled by them.
Look at Valyria, no matter how powerful and prosperous it was, and even had witchcraft and magic, wasn't it still destroyed by the gods?
Thinking of this, Viserys couldn't help but wonder what Valyria had done to cause this powerful king to be destroyed in a moment.
I definitely don’t believe that Viserys was sent down to punish him because he was disrespectful to the gods, or cruel to the believers of the gods, or excessive plundering aroused the wrath of the gods.
The attitude of the gods towards mortals can be seen from Fremi.
Gods may not love people, mortals are just tools, and being disrespectful to gods will not make the gods angry. You must know that even the Red God sect with radical doctrines rarely physically destroys those who do not respect gods.
What's more, according to Viserys' analysis based on various intelligence he already had, the gods who attacked Valyria were almost all the gods alive at the time.
Needless to say about the Red God; the fission of the earth and the uplift of the peninsula are obviously the power of the old gods related to the power of the land; and the intrusion of sea water into the earth is the work of the Drowned God; even the Cold God is involved - from the Faceless Man The weapons used against Valyria can probably be guessed at.
To be able to bring all the gods together to destroy Valyria, this country must have done something to endanger the gods, so that they must strike hard and completely destroy this place with the power to destroy the world.
Even the remaining power has been raging on this land for hundreds of years, making this land seem to be cursed, unreachable, and full of weird things.
"It's that direction. There's something, some power, calling me to go there."
Suddenly, Flemy pointed in a certain direction and shouted to Viserys.
Viserys looked up and saw that it was no longer the royal city area, but a collapsed active volcano behind the royal city. There was a big hole in the belly of the volcano. The mouth of the hole seemed to lead directly to hell, and the pit sunk deep into the ground.
It seemed that the mountainside had sunk to a depth of hundreds of meters. The lava underneath was dense and the heat was overwhelming.
The pterosaur seemed unable to withstand this terrible environment. It was panting and having difficulty breathing.
In fact, as early as when it entered the city, its mouth and nose were already covered with scorched marks and gray flying dust.
The current situation of this pterosaur is almost what happens to every ordinary creature wandering here. The unpleasant smell in the air is obviously due to excessive sulfide, and the magma that bursts out from time to time breaks out of the cracks in the ground, bringing out a large amount of smoke and ash. , making every breath of ordinary creatures a burst of torture.
Viserys reminded Flemy: "It won't last much longer."
The air here is poisonous, dusty, and hot. It's hard to imagine what the pterosaur's lungs have become now.
It was just an ordinary pterosaur after all.
If the Valyrian dragon is more adapted to volcanic terrain than ordinary creatures, it may be able to survive in this environment. But for ordinary creatures, this place is tantamount to a place of death.
It can be said to be a miracle that Fremi was able to get it here.
"Look, there!" Fremi didn't care about the life and death of the pterosaur. She saw a seemingly passable passage from the entrance of the cave and pointed in that direction. "It must be there. I can feel that the oracle is calling me. , the gods are urging me.”
Viserys looked at her and found that there was a faint red flame burning in her red eyes, which was extremely fervent.
Fremi was stunned, and seemed to have completely become the Red God's tool. She had only one goal.
Viserys said nothing more: "Lead the way."
Flemy's hand clenched the pterodactyl's shadow flesh tentacles, seeming to inject some kind of power into it. Viserys saw that the pterodactyl's eyes quickly became bloodshot and became fanatical, and the whole body suddenly seemed to be possessed. It stimulated vitality and changed the sluggish state, as if I could ignore the pain and the burning of high temperature environment. With its flesh and blood scalded and smoking, the pterosaur flapped its wings and flew straight down to the sunken hole.
Viserys followed quickly.
Under the huge pit, at a depth of nearly 100 meters near the underground magma lake, there is a huge passage across the stone wall. The passage has traces of man-made objects, with typical Valyrian black stone bricks and bases, supporting the road of the passage.
The passage is now covered with hot gravel and ashes, but it was obviously a passage for humans to walk.
Fremi walked in without thinking.
Viserys felt something was wrong.
He looked back at the magma lake about ten meters below the bottom, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a black spire looming in the lake. Viserys looked carefully and found that there was a collapsed giant building under the magma lake. The building was completely submerged in the magma, but its hugeness could be vaguely seen, and he even suspected that this huge sinkhole was caused by the entire building sinking in.
At the edge of the magma lake, Viserys also vaguely saw some strange smooth areas, without dust accumulation, as smooth as if they had been deliberately polished.
This made Viserys have a very bad guess.
As expected, Fremi in front was attacked.
A strange roar sounded in the passage, and then a cluster of terrible flames sprayed from a corner of the passage straight at Fremi and the pterosaur flying in front.
After the flames erupted, a strange creature with black and red scales and a head and neck that looked like a dragon rushed out of the flames, opened its huge mouth and bit the pterosaur that was suddenly attacked and hit the wall of the narrow passage.
" # %!"
The pterosaur may be an ordinary creature, but Fremi is not an ordinary person. Fremi recited a strange and difficult to recognize spell with her unique voice. In an instant, the tentacles made of shadows and flesh from the pterosaur that hit the wall and whose life or death was unknown were activated like lightning, and instantly pierced the body of the strange creature.
The tentacles of shadow and flesh were incredibly sharp. Viserys was about to help, but he saw that the tentacles easily pierced into the body of the strange creature, not only piercing the scales, but also piercing through. The monster felt pain and let out a terrifying roar like a dragon, and flames accumulated in its mouth.
But it couldn't spit out a second mouthful of fire.
Two shadow tentacles pierced the strange creature's eye sockets. The next moment, the thing had collapsed to the ground, just like a snake, and its nerves were still reacting. Fluttering twice, it stopped moving.
Fire dragon worm!
Viserys got closer and saw the whole appearance of the creature. It had a dragon-like head, but its body was more like a snake.
This creature had no wings, no hands and feet, and had scales. It was good at drilling holes in rocky soil.
This fire dragon worm was more than ten meters long and as thick as a bucket. It was a long worm.
It was undoubtedly the top predator in this area, otherwise it would not directly attack the intruder.
Fire dragon worms are also said to be oviparous creatures. When the larvae are born, they are about the size of a child's thin arm. Like dragons, they can grow to be extremely huge. It is rumored that there were fire dragon worms in Valyria that could even drill underground passages in the rocks that were large enough for several carriages to run parallel.
Viserys looked at the creature with a dragon head but a snake-like appearance and could not help but marvel at it.
Their blood was boiling hot as expected. As Fremi controlled the shadow tentacles to pull out blood, some blood splashed on the pterosaur, and smoke sizzled on its scales.
Viserys's eyes returned to the pterosaur. The poor pterosaur had just eaten a fierce thing and was dying. Viserys said, "It's dying again."
Fremi's red robe was obviously fireproof, and she was not hurt: "I know."
As she said that, Fremi controlled the tentacles and began to cut the body of the fire dragon worm.
At this moment, the lady looked like a butcher.
Viserys watched quietly as she sent the cut flesh to the pterosaur, and then controlled the pterosaur to swallow the flesh of the fire dragon worm.
The pterosaur obviously refused. The flesh of the fire dragon worm was scalding hot, which was not the normal temperature for it to eat.
But Fremy ignored it and continued to control it to swallow.
But as several pieces of flesh were eaten, the pterosaur not only showed no signs of improvement, but also screamed in pain.
Viserys saw that its tongue and mouth were severely burned by the flesh of the fire dragon worm, so it can be imagined how much pain its throat and stomach must be suffering.
But Fremy just continued to let it swallow and drink blood.
At a certain moment, the pterosaur finally fell down due to the pain. And Fremy controlled the shadow flesh tentacles to pierce the pterosaur's heart.
Viserys already knew what would happen next, so he mourned for the fate of the pterosaur. Neither wanting to live nor wanting to die was the most suitable description of its current situation.
After some tricks, the tortured pterosaur came back to life. Its body was covered with scars, and its eyes had lost the luster of a living creature, but it still came back to life and was driven again by Fremy.
This method is chilling.
When setting off again, Fremy looked deeply at Viserys: "If you encounter an attack next time, please be sure to take action, Lord Viserys."
"Of course." Viserys narrowed his eyes. At this point, since he knew that there was a threat hidden in the passage, he had to take precautions, "The wind is rising!"
As Viserys chanted a strange spell, a gust of wind rose from his body out of thin air and poured into the passage.
After about a dozen heartbeats, Viserys said, "There are about a few hundred steps in this passage, and the exit is a large space. There are still some holes in the inner wall of the passage. I'm afraid these fire dragons drilled out of the passage. Be careful. This is a straight road, I'll go in front."
"Okay." Fremi didn't hesitate and responded directly.
Viserys vaguely realized that Fremi's power seemed to become active after entering the volcano, and it became more and more active as she used it.
Normally, Viserys should be worried that Fremi's power was used too much, resulting in power exhaustion.
But the fact is the opposite. Here, the more Fremi's power is used, the more active and powerful the power is.
Viserys had long speculated that the source of Valyria's power is inextricably linked to the Red God. Fremi's weird behavior undoubtedly adds credibility to this speculation.
And this also makes Viserys more worried. Will Fremi's power become more and more active, and finally this priest will directly turn into a big firework, causing a second doomsday catastrophe on the ruins of Valyria?
Would the Red God hold a grand funeral ceremony for Viserys?
With this worry, Viserys became more cautious.
After killing another blind dragon in the strange passage, Viserys and Fremi quickly passed through another exit of the passage and arrived at a huge underground space.
As soon as they arrived here, Viserys couldn't help but sigh: "The Valyrians are really like the dwarves in fantasy novels!"
It is hard to imagine that under the Doomsday catastrophe, such a huge and relatively intact mine can still be preserved underground in Valyria.
This is a huge underground mine, built in the belly of a huge mountain, on top of magma.
The collapsed tall black stone buildings, huge walls and chains, and underground transportation tracks show how busy this mine was once, and those collapsed buildings silently tell how powerful the Valyrians once were.
But the backflowing magma and collapsed buildings show that this is also a dead place, and now only dry bones and ruins are left.
[Eternal Furnace]. (Refer to Baldur 3 - Furnace of Vengeance)
At the entrance of the passage, Viserys found a huge stone tablet on a huge dragon sculpture with a name carved in Valyrian.
This huge underground space is a forge called "Forge of Eternity", a smelting furnace built by a chief dragon king and several dragon king families, symbolizing their rule until eternity.
Viserys asked: "Is what you feel here?"
Fremy's scarlet eyes looked over, and Viserys saw that the red flames in her eyes were becoming more and more obvious. She replied: "Still below, deeper underground."
Viserys flew to the height of this huge space, trying to find a place leading to the deeper depths that Fremy said.
From a high place, it can be clearly seen that this huge forging plant is divided into three parts. One part is the material area connected to the mountain mine tunnel, which has collapsed severely; the other part is a large steel structure located in a slightly lower magma lake area in the space, which is divided by the backflow of magma. It seems to be the so-called "smelting furnace". Although the area has collapsed severely and skeletons can be seen everywhere, it seems that because of the steel structure and built on a relatively stable mountain, it is not seriously damaged.
Viserys looked from a distance and couldn't help wondering if the smelting furnace called "Eternal Furnace" could still work normally.
(Refer to the adamantine furnace in Baldur 3)
At a landslide on the edge of the collapsed material platform, Viserys saw a deeper pit, where countless magmas merged into rivers and flowed deeper.
And at the bottom of the pit, there were traces of human buildings.
(Baldur 3: Looking at the Temple of Shar from the Furnace of Vengeance)
I saw huge black stone sculptures standing upright in the depths of a pit that seemed to go deep into hell. It was obviously a passage dug out by a landslide. Normally, there was no way to go there. It seemed that only people with the ability to fly could go from this place to there.
What surprised Viserys was that the area seemed to be better preserved than this underground smelting furnace.
There were no signs of large-scale collapse of the buildings there. The entire building was still built of the black stone of the Valyrians, but it looked more ancient and gave people a cold feeling.
And the large expanses of magma surrounded by red light made that place inexplicably feel holy and sacred.
Needless to say, the deeper underground that Fremi mentioned was there.
Without Viserys saying more, Fremi had already seen that direction and immediately rode the dying and near-limited pterosaur to fly deeper.
Viserys gritted his teeth and decided to keep up.
It has come to this point. The direction that Fremi led was obviously very purposeful. It was definitely not a trap set by the Red God to harm him.
No matter what the road ahead was, Viserys would not stop here.
He followed closely.
Not long after, the two had flown to this ancient, cold black stone building.
Viserys had seen many unimaginable things along the way, but when he got here, he couldn't help but be shocked.
As soon as he entered this black stone building, Viserys actually felt a cold breath in this building surrounded by hot magma.
What does this mean?
This means that there is the power of the cold god here!
Although the sculptures in this building are still Valyria dragon sculptures, the black stone seems to be mixed with some fluorescent material, and the whole building emits a disturbing strange light underground.
It makes the eyes of the sculptures seem to have life, as if they are observing the guests who suddenly visit.
"Be careful!"
The feeling of being watched is not an illusion.
As Viserys went deeper into the building, he found that the lights were actually alive. They should be some kind of floating, gathering together on the black stone building, and some fine black dust was sprayed from their bodies!
When Viserys and Fremi walked to such a deep area, the air was already full of this black dust.
Viserys could even feel that his breathing became difficult, and the flow of magic in his body became more sluggish.
The three breaths of fire, frost, and lightning were sprayed out at the same time.
Viserys reacted quickly and stirred up a gust of wind around his body to isolate these strange black dusts.
"This thing is afraid of fire!"
It is difficult to explain why such plankton that is afraid of fire and heat actually lives in an environment full of magma, but after noticing their weakness, Viserys immediately accumulated flames and burned the sculptures and walls of the entire building.
A large number of plankton corpses turned into black smoke and fell. Viserys was afraid that there would be problems with their corpses, so he immediately blew out a gust of hot wind and blew away everything around.
But look at Fremi.
The person is fine, but his face is a little pale, as if he had just been tricked by this strange creature.
And the pterosaur
It's a pity that it is about to die again. But the pterosaur foamed at the mouth and breathed hard, like a broken bellows, taking in more air and exhaling less.
Viserys said, "It's going to die again."
Fremy looked at the pterosaur, and soon her eyes left it: "It seems that I have to walk next."
Viserys was speechless, looking at the pterosaur that could finally die, and for a moment he felt a little complicated.
Watching, Fremy stretched out her hand, and the shadow tentacles on the pterosaur seemed to have turned into another living thing, slowly detached from the wound on the pterosaur, and finally turned into a shadow, which was controlled by Fremy at her side.
The pterosaur's breathing gradually stopped, and its eyes became empty.
Fremy waved her hand, and the shadow was like some kind of energy creature, touching Fremy's shadow, and then it was slowly absorbed by Fred's shadow.
At this time, Viserys discovered.
The light source around was not very bright, but Fremy's shadow was extremely dark, like black charcoal.
Compared to her shadow, Viserys's own shadow was so faint that it was almost invisible.
I think this is her witchcraft.
Looking at this, Viserys was even less likely to have any contact with her, so the two chose to walk next.
This building that looks like a temple is not very big, but it is extremely dangerous.
The strange swimming plankton was just an appetizer. As they went deeper, Viserys and Fremi encountered poisonous fog, magic mechanisms, and the strange mosquitoes they encountered in the wild.
Fortunately, they were strong enough to solve these things one by one.
After these things, Viserys roughly understood the necessity of the Red God asking Fremi to ask him for help.
If Viserys had not transcended the scope of normal creatures in this world, it is very likely that Fremi herself would have fallen in a trap.
After overcoming many obstacles, the two of them finally came to a huge door.
This door is in a circular building structure, surrounded by three huge black stone dragon head and human body sculptures, and in front of the door is something like an altar.
A line of Valyrian text reads: "Offer blood to prove that you have the blood of the Dragon King."
In such a strange place, how much heart does Viserys have to have to be willing to offer his blood to this altar?
He looked at Fremi: "This door is blocking the way? Just break it open?"
Even if it is the black stone of Valyria, Viserys can melt it with fire.
I am afraid that forced destruction will trigger some traps.
They are now deep underground. Calculating the distance and direction, they may have entered the real Fourteen Fire Peaks volcano group from the vicinity of the Valyrian King's City through the underground passage. Viserys is worried that this obviously unusual building will have some traps, which will directly cause the Fourteen Fire Peaks to erupt again and the magma to pour in.
Although Viserys can withstand the heat of the magma now with his ability.
But for fear that the way in will be cut off, he has to dig a way to the ground bit by bit like a drilling dragon. And now they are hundreds of meters underground, not to mention that they may have walked under a volcano now, so the distance upward is probably more than a few hundred meters.
Unexpectedly, Fremi looked back indifferently and said to Viserys: "This is a trap, a trap for you."
"What?" Viserys didn't expect that there was something for him here.
But he heard Fremi shouting: "Mortals who covet divine power, hide your head and show your tail, show up!"
"Hehehe," an unpleasant laugh sounded in the building, and it was difficult to tell the direction, "An alien from another world, a priest with divine power, I didn't expect that one day I would meet such a combination in Valyria."
A burst of erratic black mist slowly floated down from the top of the ring-shaped building, accompanied by two huge dragon heads, two fire dragon insects that were even larger than the giant sculptures dozens of meters tall in the building.
The bodies of the two fire dragon insects were long and huge, with the front ends of their bodies hanging down and their tails still hidden in the darkness on top of the huge building.
The erratic black mist fell to the ground and turned into an elegant man with golden white hair and amethyst-colored eyes. He was wearing a strange light-emitting robe, as if he was wearing bright stars, and he wore a strange purple crown on his head. , set off by two huge fire dragon insects, like an emperor.
The strange thing is that Viserys actually recognized him: "Are you, the researcher of Valyria, the executioner of the Dragonbinder?"
The man chuckled softly: "Interesting, interesting. It seems that you, a monster from another world, also have the ability to devour memories. The memory of the soul in the Dragon Binder's horn was eaten by you."
Viserys narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "Are you the guy who manipulates the fate of the Targaryen family through the power of blood?"
"Wrong." The man smiled, "How can the Targaryen bloodline have any destiny? How about strength? If it weren't for me, the weak Targaryens would have been destroyed along with Valyria."
"Are you also from the Targaryen family? I'm very curious, how could you, a little researcher, survive that catastrophe?" Viserys asked strangely, "In other words, how did you survive from the age of the Dragonbinder to Now?"
The man seemed happy to hear Viserys' question and opened his arms: "This is the power of witchcraft!"
Flemi said indifferently: "That's not the case. It's just a small way to steal divine power. You are still a mortal, which proves that you have not touched the origin of witchcraft at all."
Her tone was calm, as if commenting.
"Ordinary person?" the man frowned, "I am immortal, and my witchcraft is more powerful than anyone else. The reason why I failed to become a god is because the power of gods was usurped by the non-human beings you believe in. But it doesn't matter. The war of cards is about to begin, and your gods are cut off by us mortals, and I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat the Cold God. At that time, we can become the owners of the new 'Song of Fire', haha, are we just stupid mortals? I didn’t know the truth and was deceived into making a statue.”
"'We'?" Viserys heard the words from the man's mouth, "So you are a collection of souls, an interesting existence. Do you mind telling me about the grudges between you and the Red God? I am very curious. "
"You?" The man looked at him with disdain and resentment, "A monster from another world, you stole the fate I arranged for Targaryen and got involved in our war with the Red God. You are seeking death!"
Faced with such accusations, Viserys was not angry and only asked: "You know 'song'. I am very curious. Do you know that I have the power of 'song'?"
The man's eyes became more vicious: "Storm? Impossible!"
"You react very quickly. Is it because of your soul?" Viserys was curious. "Multiple souls make your mental power extremely active and your brain moves very quickly."
"You are deceiving me!" The man's eyes flashed. "You are a monster from another world. Your power is indeed unique and elusive, but it can never be the power of 'song'."
Viserys shook his head: "It seems that since I ate the mysterious power that you influenced through your bloodline, you have become very ill-informed. Sure enough, as the priest lady said, you may be much better than mortals, but you are After all, he is still an ordinary person.”
As if he was stimulated, the man's eyes shone brightly and he cast a certain witchcraft on Viserys. After the cast, the man sneered: "Oh, it is indeed a lie. What is flowing in your body is not from this world." Magical power, a monster from another world! It seems that you are just a fool who was deceived by the Red God and ran errands for Him. "
Viserys smiled helplessly and looked at Flemy: "Madam, we have reached this point. You should already know what the 'Key of Fire' is. Is it this guy in front of you?"
"No, it's not him." Fremi's expression remained indifferent and her tone was flat, "It's the thing inside the door, it's part of the Song of Fire."
Viserys couldn't help but be curious: "Can I ask, why is part of the Red God's Song of Fire here and in the hands of the Valyrian people?"
"You will know." When Fremi spoke this time, her voice seemed to have turned into a Hong Zhong Da Lu, bringing with it a terrifying aura, "When you obtain the complete 'Song of the Storm', you will understand, and now, Viserys, as promised, get the 'Key of Fire' for me, and I will give you the 'Song of the Storm' as promised."
Viserys looked over and saw that Fremi's scarlet eyes were completely occupied by flames, and her entire body was emitting a strange light.
Hearing this, the strange man who had been ignored finally realized that Viserys might really have the "power of storm". He shouted: "No way, the 'Song of Storms' has died!"
Viserys saw the Red God urging him to take action and said hurriedly: "It is the blessing of the Creator God that everyone can gather here. Can you sit down and talk? I have many questions that need to be answered."
"Don't waste time, Viserys, he is stealing my power from this priest!" "Fremy" continued to make that terrible sound, "Kill him and destroy his ritual!"
"What?!" Viserys looked at Flemy, his shock was definitely not fake.
God has mercy on him. Viserys thought that she was accumulating strength to launch a big move, and never thought that she was fighting with the strange man in front of her.
He didn't see what ritual the other party was doing.
But before Viserys could launch an attack, the man had already taken the initiative. He only heard a strange command from his mouth, and the two huge fire dragon insects immediately sprayed hot flames towards Viserys.
Viserys immediately dodged quickly and immediately started to breathe towards the fire dragon insects and the man.
The breath of fire, frost, and lightning rushed over one after another.
And the two fire dragon insects actually used their bodies to resist this attack.
And it happened in a flash.
But I heard Fremi shouting: "You dare!" But I saw her red robe swell up, and a terrible shadow exploded in front of her, forming an airtight insect net.
Viserys was sharp-eyed and immediately discovered that the strange man had turned into a ball of smoke, hiding in the fiery breath of the fire dragon worm. After forcing Viserys away, he went straight to "Fremi" himself.
In his hand, there was a pitch-black dagger that made people feel cold at the sight of it.
The man was also resourceful and decisive, and it was obvious that he was going for a fatal blow.
Seeing that the pitch-black dagger had pierced through the shadow insect net of "Fremi".
How could Viserys dare to hide his strength?
In just a moment, Viserys burst out at the fastest speed, and only heard a sound explosion in the circular building. In less than a heartbeat, Viserys' body had rushed to the smoke that the man had turned into, and knocked it apart. The upper body of the man, which had condensed into a shape, was broken by Viserys in half and flew far away.
When the speed is fast enough, Viserys's body collision is even a more effective means of attack than breathing.
The man's upper body and the strange dagger were knocked away and cut off, and the strange smoke that made up his body was like blood, spraying all over the ground.
Viserys didn't dare to let the strange thing touch him, and he didn't slow down, and took "Fremi" and jumped a long distance away.
At this time, even if he had psychological resistance, Viserys could tell that "Fremi" was the "king" here, and he couldn't be easily "checked" by the other side.
"Quick! Kill those two troublesome bugs while his body is scattered!" It can't be seen that this "Red God" who possessed Fremi is still a nagging guy.
But the situation was strange, and Viserys couldn't be distracted.
Without thinking, Viserys rushed to the front with "Fremi" at the same speed without waiting for the two huge fire dragon bugs that were still confused to react.
Viserys slammed into one of them, condensed a huge dragon claw with magic power to grab its head, and instantly three deadly breaths attacked the fire dragon worm's eye sockets.
And "Fremi"'s reaction was also able to keep up. In an instant, several tentacles burst out from the shadow on his body, strangling and piercing the eyes of another fire dragon worm.
After all, Viserys is also a "demigod", and there is no reason to fight back and forth with two huge and intimidating fire dragon worms.
Only that weird man.
Although he was "killed" once - after all, his upper body was cut in half and flew away, he was actually an "immortal" existence as he introduced himself. Seeing that the weird black mist that made up his body quickly flew to his upper body, it took only a few breaths for him to re-condense his body.
"How could this be!" With just this one move, the man obviously knew how powerful Viserys was. He was shocked, "How is this possible!"
"Keep killing him!" "Flemmy" shouted, "Kill him as many times as he resurrects!"
"Viserys!" The man shouted, "We are not enemies!"
Viserys accelerated again, burst out, and attacked: "Sorry, maybe you are right, but I have chosen a side."
"No!" The man began to beg for mercy, "Let me go, I can tell you any secret you want to know, I can help you, help you become the 'God of Storms'!"
Thunder and lightning, with the power to tear apart everything, swept the strange black fog.
"No!"
Flames, with the blazing heat that melted all living things, burned the black fog.
"No!"
Frost, with the cruelty of freezing everything, froze the black fog.
He wanted to escape, and like a gecko breaking its tail, he abandoned the black fog controlled by Viserys and began to fly high into the sky of this strange building.
Poison barriers, strange magic, and weird mosquitoes appeared one after another, but none of them could stop Viserys' pursuit.
At a certain moment, the man shouted: "You've been fooled, hahaha!"
Hearing this, Viserys realized that he and "Fremi" had distanced themselves, and worried that he had been tricked into leaving the tiger behind, so he quickly stopped the pursuit and returned to "Fremi".
But this was a trick within a trick, and there was no problem with "Fremi".
But in that situation, Viserys had no choice. This was a must-win trick. After all, the weird guy couldn't be killed, and he couldn't be so arrogant that he could ignore this.
"Fremi" didn't say much about Viserys's appearance, but only said: "Mortals who covet divine power are just mortals after all! Happy cooperation, Viserys."
Viserys looked at her: "Do you want me to help you open this door?"
But she said: "Open? No, I've already contacted him."
"Flemie" was seen putting her hand on the door, and the shadow under her body seemed to be like fluid getting into the crack of the door. In just a moment, this seemingly mysterious door was opened.
And below, there is a dark, cold, long staircase.
A biting cold air rose up from below, and even Viserys couldn't help but shudder.
This is definitely the power of the Cold God.
"You stay here, Viserys. When you see the fire, that's when you can leave. Follow the same path to the cave and wait for me. I will find you and give you the remaining 'Storm Song'. "
Viserys looked at her intently: "I can't go in?"
"Flemie" smiled: "Of course you can come to watch the ceremony, but when the power of 'song' breaks out later, it depends on whether you have the ability to bear it."
At this time, the scarlet eyeballs were no longer visible in the red-robed woman's eyes, only two burning red flames remained. She waited for Viserys' answer.
"Okay. I'll do as you say." At this moment, although confused, as mentioned before, Viserys had already chosen a side.
"Flemie" nodded, ignored him, and walked down the freezing cold stairs.
Until it completely disappeared into the dark stairs.
About a dozen heartbeats passed.
Suddenly, a burst of fiery breath burst out from the stairs. Even though Viserys was far away, he still felt like his soul was being burned.
And then, he saw a bright fire at the end of the stairs.
Although he still wanted to stay here to see the situation, the burning sensation inside the stairs became more and more intense. Viserys felt his soul trembling, and then he understood the reason why the other party asked him to leave when he saw the light of the fire.
So I had no choice but to go back up the original route as he said.
It didn’t take long to wait until we reached the cave entrance.
Valyria's volcanoes began to become violently active. Countless heat streams erupted from the gaps. Some craters and even underwater volcanoes were filled with smoke and dust, and the heat was astonishing.
Viserys carefully paid attention to possible crises, but until the volcanic activity subsided, there was no terrible situation that endangered him.
As the volcanic activity subsided, Viserys suddenly noticed a terrifying hot breath rushing out of the cave, and he looked warily.
After a burst of terrifying aura, a demon-like figure with strange wings flew out of the underground magma lake channel.
Looking closely, it was a humanoid creature with red skin and no body parts. It was neither male nor female. When he stopped, Viserys could tell that the demon-like wings were similar to those of the "Valyrian Dragon", and he had some strange guesses in his heart.
The weird demon said: "Viserys, very good, you are waiting for me here as expected. I admire your attitude and ability very much, and it is indeed right for me to cooperate with you."
Viserys asked, "What shall I call you? R'hllor, the Red God?"
"Me?" the man said, "You can call me the envoy. I am R'hllor, yes, but R'hllor is not me."
"Can I understand that in the future you will become R'hllor's agent and walk on the earth?"
"Exactly. You are indeed a smart man."
After these few words, Viserys felt that the envoy didn't look very smart.
"So what do I want?"
"Let's go, I'll take you to get it." The Red God's envoy pointed to the north, "There, the Drowned God will never dare to be an enemy of you and me."
Viserys still wanted to trick him, but he had already flapped his wings and flew far away. There was no choice, Viserys had no choice but to follow.
Not long after, they came to a certain beach in the Sea of Smoke, and here, several giant sea monsters seemed to have been waiting for a long time. When they saw them, they lifted up the huge bones one after another and threw them towards the beach. Then he quickly dived into the strange boiling sea of smoke, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Viserys looked at the bones and wanted to get some words out of the envoy who didn't look very smart, but he didn't expect that the other party wouldn't give him a chance. Seeing that the deal was completed, he only glanced at Viserys and said: "The God War is coming, Viserys. Our cooperation ends here. It is about the ownership of the great movement. Then everyone will rely on their own abilities."
After saying this, the god flapped his wings and flew towards Valyria.
Judging from his appearance, he might be looking for bad luck with the "mortal" in his words.
Viserys looked at the pile of bones on the beach and felt that some problems had been solved, but a lot of doubts followed.
He felt like he was involved in a lot of things, but everything was so confusing.
Looking at the pile of bones on the beach that represented the power of the "Song of Storms", Viserys felt a little confused about the future: the appearance of the divine envoy meant that the gods had officially demonstrated their power and cast their true divine power on the world. agent, and what impact will this have on the world?
He couldn't imagine it for a moment.
