Chapter 34
"Khaleesi, there's a situation!"
In the evening, the earth-scorching stove rolled below the horizon, and horse people got out of their sleeping bags and ate jerky with mare's milk Excavation started again.
First they had to clean up the ashes left by burning the ancient Dragonlord's corpse. It was nothing to start with. Whether it was the devil's body or the cursed Valyria Dragonlord, they were all scorched to black bones under the flames.
Even if there was a virus that Dany was worried about, 80% of them would have been roasted to death by the heat.
After jumping into the pit, the horse people saw that it was no different from Drogo's cremation remains, and they were more daring and used their hands to dig the ashes directly.
After a while, a horse people raised their arms covered with black soot, and held a pitch-black iron plaque with both hands, and shouted to Dany: "Khaleesi, found a piece of iron, I guess it's a relic left by the Dragonlord."
Jorah took it and washed it with sand to remove the smudges and checked it carefully before handing it to Dany. "This is Valyria steel, with the dragon shape family crest and the ancient Valyrian glyph.
Our previous guess should be correct, the iron plate should be similar to the identity card, like the hand of the Hand of the King Brooch."
The Prime Minister of the Westeros Kingdom is called Hand of the King, Hand of the King can design oneself's Prime Minister badge, which can be a brooch, a cape pin, a chain hanging on the chest.... .. but there will always be a tiny metal palm on the badge.
The iron card started slightly heavy, barely covering Dany's small hand, reminding her of the 6.5-inch Huawei mobile phone that she just started, the same thickness and weight, only one third mobile phone in area.
Valyria steel is also a kind of steel in essence. If you get it to the laboratory for elemental analysis, you will find that it is no different from ordinary steel. However, during its forging process, the magic unique to the Valyria civilization was added, which has almost indestructible characteristics.
By the way, Valyria steel forged weapons also have powerful magic breaker effects, such as beheading Others.
Ignoring the thick material of half a catty, the pictures and texts on the iron plate are also very beautiful.
The front is a dragon with wings ready to fly. The dragon claws hold a big sword with cold light shining, which is very delicate and expressive. It can not only feel the majesty revealed by the dragon's face, but also distinguish it. The gem on the Sword Cross Gauntlet.
There is a circle of glyphs around the dragon. Dany knows the most authentic Valyria characters, but he can't understand a single glyph.
The other side of the iron plate was also incomprehensible to Dany. It carved a mountain with a rough technique different from the front.
Stroking the mountain pattern gently, you can feel the obvious convex and concave engraving.
There seem to be wisps of fireworks at the top of the mountain...the carving is so rough that Dany isn't sure if it's black smoke or a big tree.
"If the front pattern is really a family emblem, dragon is holding a sword, dragon may imply Dragonlord itself, everyone is careful, there must be a Valyria steel two handed sword buried in the sand." Dany was very excited, Cheers to the man in the pit.
It turns out that she thinks too beautifully.
the moon rise in the middle of the sky, horse people digging all over the nearby sand and soil, 4 or 5 meters deep into the ground, the water seeps out, but nothing is found.
Jorah shook his head and sighed: "In that case, it's hard to escape Valyria, and he won't have time to go home to get the ancestral sword. If the sword the dragon is holding is real, the sword's The weight and volume must not lose to Stark's ancestral sword - Ice."
Then Ser described Ice to Dany: the body is wider than the palm, dark as black smoke, and erected a head taller than Dany .
Dany embarrassed, although she is only 14 years old, she is not short except for a little stunted growth, no breasts and no buttocks, she knows without measuring, it must be about 1.6 meters.
She is a head taller than 1.6 meters, even if it is less than two meters, it should be more than 1.8 meters.
"It's so long that it's inconvenient to swing even if you can hold it?" she said curiously.
"Eddard Stark chops dozens of heads off with that sword every year, and over several decades, he's simply not skilled enough." Jorah said in a tone full of resentment and sarcasm.
He almost got experience points for the 'Ned' Greatsword skill.
Finally, Dany approved Jorah's analysis. Under normal circumstances, the greatsword cannot be carried with both hands, and the dead Dragonlord has no chance to go back and get the sword.
Before midnight, horse people dug out more than 20 jet-black dragon bones of various lengths from the sand. The longest one was over 10 meters, and the short one was as tall as Dany's waist and abdomen.
Many of them have obvious fracture marks, which further proves that the dragon was seriously injured and unable to fly, and fell from the sky to the ground.
"Forget it, let's dig here, enough for the entire Khalasar to have a dragon bone machete." Dany clapped his hands and stopped the horse people in the pit.
“Her Highness the Princess, dragon bone can only be used as a hilt, not a blade. Ordinary steel with dragon bone is a waste, in fact, except for Valyria steel weapons, other steel weapons do not need to use dragons bone." Jorah reminded.
"You said dragon bone is very valuable." Dany said.
"It's very valuable, there's only so much dragon bone in the world. But don't you need money?"
"Who would think that oneself has too much money?" Dany waved his hand casually road.
Before leaving, Dany had the dragon's skull buried in a small hill.
This is her treasure, and no one else can get it.
As long as the original dragon bone shows traces, any fool knows that she found dragon corpse in the Red Waste.
Now this is buried, even her oneself is not sure if she can find it next time.
Indeed, there are too many similar low hills in this plain, and there are no special markers nearby. Stacking rocks and wiping wooden poles are only effective for a short period of time, and they will be buried and blown down by wind and sand over time.
"Big Black, do you remember?" she asked oneself's Black Dragon.
Black Dragon does have some intelligence, but it's too brain-dead compared to humans - that's the real brain-dead, underdeveloped kind.
However, the sense of orientation of the dragon is particularly strong, often entering Dragon Dream, Dreki, and the soul of the black Dreki, Dany can clearly perceive that the dragon not only has the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch, and even More than six senses and seven senses.
Well, her dragons don't understand the small universe.
Just as birds can use Earth's magnetic field to tell where they are, so do dragons.
For example, Dany tried to throw the dragon in Whitecloud, and then she rode a small silver horse for a few kilometers in any direction, and finally found a bush to hide, and all three dragons could be found accurately she.
At that time, she deliberately cut off the Dragon Dream state.
Dany can receive the seven and eight senses from Black Dragon, but she doesn't know what it is, nor can she analyze it.
After asking several times in a row, and leaving a distance of two kilometers, I let Big Black fly back to try it out. Dany was sweating so hard that he was finally reluctant to be sure that he might really remember it.
"Hey, Ser Jorah, Targaryen more than 100 years ago, is there any way to help dragons increase their intelligence? My dragons are too stupid." In the early morning, on the way back to the horse team, Dany complained to him , "It's okay to be stupid, as long as you listen to me obediently and honestly.
But the dragon is unruly, the Black Dragon is okay, the Green Dragon and the White Dragon even I can't control it, communication is too difficult ."
"I don't know, Bear Island is too far from the center of power. I'm not familiar with the dignitaries outside of Stark." Big Bear shook his head.
"You're the real son-in-law of House Hightower, and House Hightower controls the Citadel," Dany reminded him.
Anyway, Jorah Mormont has also been a house hightower for a few years and should have been to the Citadel a few times and at least met a few knowledgeable Citadel Archmaesters.
Well, Maester is also graded, Maester Apprentice, Maester, Archmaester, Grand Maester. Maester grades are judged according to the depth and breadth of their knowledge.
"I wasn't interested in Maester and Citadel at all back then, and in fact, I'm not interested in them now either."
There were no surprises along the way, and two days later, Their entire group returned to Whitecloud with dragon bone.
In the days that followed, Dany went out to exercise with a dragon on his back when it was cool in the morning and evening. During the scorching sun in the morning and afternoon, she began to give cultural lessons to the three dragons.
The body is getting bigger and bigger, from the thin "cat" to the big "Jingba", and now there is a trend towards "dog".
The bigger the size, the more food they eat every day. The sand lizards, scorpions, and Sand Snakes on the Red Sand Plain can no longer satisfy them.
So Dany tempted them to study with food.
This process is very difficult.
In math class, she demonstrated elementary school math operations to Black Dragon in the state of Dragon Dream; in language class, she opened her mouth wide, making a sound and telling its meaning in the state of Soul connection.
There is also gym class, Dany taps their scales with a wooden stick, and at first, the scales of the young dragon are broken like hard egg shells, and the blood seeps out of the body with white smoke, not yet. The drippings are burnt out.
Because Black Dragon has a Soul connection with her, she kept comforting and encouraging little dragon in Mental Sea. Although Black Dragon hissed angrily, she could barely cooperate with her.
White Dragon and Green Dragon are not so honest.
A month later when they were born, Dany completely lost contact with Little White, Little Green's Dreki. The closer she is to the Black Dragon, the greater the estrangement from the other two dragons.
Not only the Chinese class and math class can't be taken, but also the physical education class for body refinement... Once Dany knocked Little White's back to bleed, the little fellow ignored her and sprayed on her wrist. Got a Dragonflame.
Dragonflame is hotter than firewood, and for the first time, she was injured in the flames. A cockroach-sized blister appeared on the skin of the wrist, which was painful and itchy, and it took four or five days to recover.
The only consolation is that there are no scars.
Maybe it's really possible to draw strength from the flames, maybe with Black Dragon's growing relationship with Dreki, who is recovering faster and more fully from her injuries than normal.
Like the scar on her stomach.
In order to prevent others from discovering her plan, Dany didn't let the maid serve oneself to take a bath after half a month.
Well, she explained that water resources are scarce, and from now on everyone will use fine sand to clean their skin.
She also asked people to prepare a sand bed, which was covered with fine white sand.
Before going to bed every night, take off your clothes and rub it on it to get rid of the dust on your skin - oil and old skin scraps are burned away in the fire.
But half a month later, Dany is living a corrupt "slave-master" life.
She was surprised to find that the scars on the belly became lighter and lighter, and finally completely disappeared, and the skin returned to its former tenderness and smoothness.
It seems that high temperature promotes blood circulation, and the cell activity is too high in the fire?
This is a scientific explanation.
In a magical way, dragon and fire have magic power to restore the body.
Just like more than a year ago, the original owner Dany just married Drogo. She is frail and not used to life on horseback.
As a result, Dragon Dream once, only for one night, all the injuries disappeared, and the body is strong like a native horse men Maiden.
