The journey of film and television world is endless

If comparing the world of Ice and Fire with Earth, Westeros can be seen as a combination of Britain and Scandinavia. Civilization and barbarism intertwine, and religion and tradition collide. The First Men of the North have Celtic mixed with Germanic beliefs and customs, while the Iron Islands are more like Vikings. After Aegon's conquest of the Seven Kingdoms, the overall environment of Westeros is very similar to Britain after the Reformation, where royal power has surpassed divine power!

Having lived in Oldtown for many years, he felt that the south of Westeros, especially the Reach and Dorne, was more like Spain before the Middle Ages on Earth. The Reach is more like the wealthy Iberian Peninsula, while the Rhoynar of Dorne are like the Moors who invaded the peninsula, bringing exotic culture and customs. Oldtown's Hightowers and Arbor's Redwynes can be seen as Portugal, having both subordinate relationships with House Tyrell of Highgarden, yet maintaining relative independence.

After arriving in Essos, although he had only been to Tyrosh, he had deeply come into contact with Valyrian culture. Their methods of colonization and conquest were like a replica of the Roman Empire during its most glorious period on Earth. Although Valyria had been destroyed for more than four hundred years, its influence on the western part of the Essos continent was far-reaching.

But this world has more of a mythological and extraordinary background, Liu Yuan truly realized. Since that day passing through the ruins of Valyria, Liu Yuan had locked himself in the cabin for six days, the large ship had been slowly sailing not far from the peninsula.

Because when he took out the dragon egg from the inheritance and wiped it, he found that something that had been like a stone for several years actually had a reaction. This change was very weak, like a firefly releasing a faint light, flickering like a candle in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any time.

So he ordered the ship to slow down and slowly travel around the ruins of the Valyrian peninsula. It was also because his perception was relatively strong that he noticed a wave of fluctuations coming from the ruins, rippling like ripples in the water. He asked his surrounding subordinates and they didn't feel anything, which was quite interesting. He observed for another three days. The five dragon eggs did not grow or produce other changes due to the fluctuation of this energy.

But what followed was that some people on the ship felt physically unwell. Several maids experienced nausea, vomiting, and spontaneous bleeding from the nasal cavity and other parts.

This quickly aroused Liu Yuan's vigilance. This was obviously a symptom of excessive radiation. The energy fluctuation he felt before was damn strong nuclear radiation! It was also because the people in this world were physically strong, and most of the people on the ship were elite warriors. Even the sailors were strong lads he had selected. Only some cooks and maids were ordinary people, so they were the first to have radiation reactions.

Liu Yuan hurriedly ordered the ship to set sail and stay away from the Valyrian peninsula ruins. He stood on the deck, watching the gradually receding wreckage, and had a hint of understanding in his heart. Countless explorers had been buried here for hundreds of years, so that's what happened! Records say that in the Valyrian Freehold, the Valyrians sent slaves they brought from different countries to the Fourteen Flames to mine red gold, gold, silver, and other minerals. This mining activity lasted for thousands of years, even digging into the flowing lava layer.

The Fourteen Flames are a huge volcanic chain extending across the Valyrian peninsula and connecting to the mainland. Who knows what elements were contained in the minerals they mined? It is very likely that the Doom that swept through Valyria was caused by this. Mining caused all the volcanoes of the Fourteen Flames to erupt simultaneously, and the power of the eruption instantly affected the entire Valyrian peninsula. The earth collapsed, the land sank, the sea poured in, and the raging flames even incinerated the dragons soaring in the sky.

This scene is easy to understand. Large-scale volcanic eruptions release a large amount of volcanic gases, which contain radioactive elements, not to mention that there are many messy mineral elements in this world. During an earthquake, a wave is generated that causes humans to lose control of their bodies. It is this wave that affects the human body, causing temporary loss of control. As for the dragons in the sky, they were of course stunned and fell directly, even if they didn't die from the fall, they would be burned to death.

Secondly, volcanic eruptions also produce radioactive deposits, which also contain radioactive elements. Judging from the current situation, the disaster has passed for four hundred years. There is such strong radiation just in the outer sea, and look at those stone pillars that have been weathered and eroded beyond recognition.

This can explain why ancient Valyria didn't even have many survivors who escaped? Countless adventurers who followed in their footsteps, few survived. They unknowingly eroded their physical health in this environment, and by the time they felt something was wrong, they didn't even have the strength to escape.

Liu Yuan had seen the tragic state of the human body after severe radiation, not only skin ulcers, but even some internal body tissues would melt. Tsk tsk~ No wonder the records of the Citadel rarely mention explorers who escaped unscathed. Even if a few survivors escaped, they would die miserably soon after, and some attributed it to a curse.

The Dawn Star quickly sailed away from this dangerous sea area. Liu Yuan did some checks on his body and found nothing abnormal. It should be that the amount of radiation he was exposed to had no major impact on his current physical fitness, and it may also be due to his dragon blood.

However, in the following days, many people on the ship had some reactions. Vomiting, dizziness, nosebleeds, etc... But these problems were not big. On this busy route, it was easy to buy a large amount of fruit from the merchant ships they encountered. There are many fruits in this world that are similar to those on Earth, as well as rich vitamins A and E and crude fiber, which accelerate the excretion of radioactive substances. What's more, being on the sea, the gelatinous substances in various sea fish and kelp can combine with radioactive substances after absorption and be quickly excreted from the intestines.

However, the consequence was that the crew members often had diarrhea. Look at the dozens of big butts exposed on the deck next to the ship's side, how spectacular. In fact, there are toilets inside the ship, but too many people have diarrhea. So they simply tied themselves to the ship's side railings with a rope and solved it directly outside the deck. It made many passing ships laugh at them. But Liu Yuan knew that after this incident, it would not have any impact on their future health.

Continuing to sail for three days, the Dawn Star had just rounded a large island and sailed into a bay. This is the Ghiscari region, known as Slaver's Bay. Astapor is the southernmost slave city in Slaver's Bay, located at the mouth of the winding river. The ancient Ghiscari called it the Worm River, which flows into Slaver's Bay from the east. To the south of the city are the Ghiscari mountains.
