Chapter 69

"red Devil's Ship?"

Dany was amused by the New Ghis' words and asked, "Do you believe that the devil will come to earth as a pirate?"

"If If it’s not the devil, it will be even more terrifying!” The customs sternly warned: “It is said that no ship can escape the pursuit of the target of the red devil ship, and the red devil ship is too fast; no one survives. , the devil on the devil's ship is too vicious."

"Thank you for your warning." Dany restrained his smile and said thankfully.

The devil does the devil's deeds, and it is only natural that it is more terrifying and terrifying to do the devil's deeds as a human being.

The customs looked around and saw White Dragon and Green Dragon on the observation deck overhead. He couldn't move his footsteps. Of course, Iron Legion is not afraid of pirates, and we understand why it can be prevented before it happens.

So, in the past six months, customs officers will inspect every vessel entering the New Ghis Bay, not to inspect the cargo, but to inspect the Are there any hidden armed personnel?"

Seeing that Dany and the others didn't speak up, the guy's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "By the way, in addition to pirates, you have to be careful about Kraken.

There are a couple of Summer Isles passable paddle boats that meet the huge terrifying Kraken just north of the Basilisk Isles.

A 30m fast ship was towed straight into the seabed with only 13 of 200 sailors One was rescued by a nearby boat.

At that time, the blood dyed red the sea, and the red waves rolled violently, which was extremely terrifying."

Now Dany became interested and asked : "Really or not? I thought Kraken was a legend."

"Hehe, those black skins scared seven or eight people crazy, can they be fake?" Zharaq, who was brown and red, laughed two rows of white. Tooth, "And compared to your dragon, what is Kraken?"

Dany couldn't refute this, Kraken was very Legendary, and dragon was more Legendary than Kraken.

Perhaps he had seen enough dragons, maybe he had a lot of work to do, Zharaq gave a few more polite greetings and left with two soldiers.

Watching the New Ghis dinghy sail towards the ship behind, Dany turned his head and asked Blackbeard Groleo, "Do you think it's true that Kraken attacked the ship?"

"Maybe." The old sailor said worriedly: "Not only did the legend of Kraken haunt the depths of the Summer Sea spread among sailors, but even the Narrow Sea...

fleet On the way to Qarth, Kraken was seen in Fingers, it attacked an Ibben whaling ship with its deep red tentacles, a 25 meter long sea ship, and was eventually dragged into the deep sea by it.

The man said to me with horror on his face, one tentacle was as thick as a bucket, as if it had been blood dyed red, almost like a devil's tentacle."

red octopus?

I don't know how it tastes.

Whitebeard Arstan said: "In the legend of the Seven Kingdoms, there are dragons that can take out trolls from the sea, as easy as an osprey catching fish from a river."

"What the hell? Kraken is just a giant octopus, haven't we eaten grilled octopus?" Dany disagreed.

"No, not what you think." Jorah chimed in: "The legend of the Kraken has been around since ancient times, but the Kraken attacking the ships was hardly ever heard of before."

Old seaman Blackbeard approves: "Mormont Knight is right, I have lived at sea for thirty or forty years, and I have only heard accurate news about Kraken in the last six months."

Is it Kraken? The appearance is also related to Magic Tide?

If that's the case, then Kraken may be a magical beast, not a normal giant octopus.

But the dragon once disappeared for more than a century, and the Undying Ones were also washed away by the River of Time, leaving only the decaying Soul, how did those Kraken spend "Dharma End Times"?

"How long will Kraken live?" she asked.

"This..." Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, never expecting that she would ask this question.

"Never studied." Whitebeard hesitantly said: "Although House Greyjoy wears the golden Kraken as their family crest, they don't seem to be able to fight the summon Kraken like the legendary Ironmen king.

It's Claw Isle's House Celtigar...Adrian Celtigar Earl once bragged to people that his family had an ancestral horn that could awaken seabed rare beasts."

Celtigar?

In memory, Viserys mentioned this family to Daenerys. Twelve years before the great cataclysm of Valyria, maiden Daenys of House Targaryen predicted the destruction of Valyria. At that time, the family that moved away from Valyria was not only Targaryen, but also Celtigar and Two families of Velaryon.

Targaryen's Fiefdom is Dragonstone, Celtigar is at Claw Isle, and Velaryon is at Driftmark. The three islands are very close together, and the farthest is only an hour or two by sea.

Targaryen are only minor nobles in Valyria, while Celtigar and Velaryon are not even Dragonlords, no dragons.

Of course, they are Valyria nobles after all, with the ability to communicate with and control dragons.

During the "Dance of the Dragons" period more than 100 years ago, several Velaryons became Dragonriders.

If House Targaryen has any chance of winning, Celtigar and Velaryon are the most loyal allies, but it is impossible for them to lose the whole family.

Viserys often expects the two families to help him restore the country, while scolding them for being stubborn and forgetting the friendship between ruler and minister in the last ages.

Dany didn't start the topic on Celtigar, and continued to ask: "How long can a dragon live?"

"It is said that it is determined by wisdom. In some legends, the wise old dragon It has lived for a thousand years." Jorah thought for a while, then frowned and said: "But during the Targaryen Dynasty, the eldest Balerion was not lacking in wisdom, and the Imperial Family would not lack its food, but only lived for more than two hundred. Years."

"Dragon needs not only food, but also freedom and sky." Whitebeard indifferently said.

"Freedom?" Dany turned his head and looked towards the old man, wondering, "Could it be that the former Targaryen locked up Balerion?"

The old man sighed then said, his eyes blurred and said: " King's Landing is mainly composed of three hills."

"I know that," Dany said, "named after the three Aegon siblings, the Red Keep where King lives is at Aegon's High Hill, and the Great Sept of Baelor is at Aegon's High Hill. Visenya's Hill, and Rhaenys' Hill has built a huge Dragonpit."

She wondered in surprise, "Is the Dragonpit too small to limit the dragon's activities?"

Whitebeard slowed down. He shook his head slowly and said: "Dragonpit is very big, it can accommodate thirty Knights riding side by side, and there is a huge circular dome above it, which is 100 meters high. But a dragon is a dragon, your ancestors forgot one thing , Valyria has no Dragonpit."

No, Valyria has a Dragonpit, they live with the Valyria Dragonlord on top of the Blackstone Heavenspan Pagoda, with domes and walls.

Dany thought so, but didn't interrupt the old man's narration.

"From then on, the dragons in Dragonpit were shorter than the next generation, and finally..." the old man sighed then said, "the last dragon is only the size of a puppy."

"Damn, if the walls can limit the volume, the farmers in thatched cottages should grow into dwarfs, and the Kings in the tall castles are as majestic as Giants." Ser Jorah snort disdainfully, sneered and said: "The fact is precisely On the contrary, big men are often born in thatched huts, but dwarfs live in castles."

"People are people, dragons are dragons, dragons should live in the sky, and people can only live on the earth. It's not what I said, Maesters came to this conclusion after carefully studying the bones of dragons through the ages." Whitebeard said resolutely.

"hmph!" Ser Jorah has never liked this old Whitebeard very much, at this time he scorned coldly snorted and said with a smile: "You little squire, you really take oneself so seriously Now that you know so much, how about you introduce us to the knowledge of dragons?"

Whitebeard said neither humble nor arrogant: "I was lucky enough to see it hanging on the wall of the throne room during the reign of King Aerys. The dragon skull above, those bones confirm some of Maester's inferences, and I don't know about other more esoteric knowledge."

Speaking of this, the old man turned his head and looked towards Dany, and said gently: "Her Highness the Princess, if you want to learn more about dragons, wait until Pentos, you can borrow Dragons, Wyrms, and Wyverns: Their Unnatural History from Magister Illyrio, it is a very valuable book, which records the details of dragons knowledge."

Dany became interested and asked curiously: "The title of the book sounds like it suggests that dragons evolved from other animals, not nature..."

"Ah!" She suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Did humans make dragon-like creatures evolve into dragons? God, Blood Magic, Bloodmage of Valyria! That book is from the ancient Valyria Freehold? "

Whitebeard's eyes widened, shocked that she could deduce so much from a single name.

Glancing at Dany earnestly, he nodded and said: "Septon Barth recognizes that dragons are Magic creatures created by Valyria's Bloodmage using Wyvern."

"Septon?"

"Septon?"

p>

“Septon Barth was the Hand of the King two hundred years ago, and he reigned for 40 years, bringing peace and prosperity to the Seven Kingdoms,” explains Whitebeard.

"Uh, he's a prime minister, how did he study Dragon and Magic?" Dany was dumbfounded.

The key is that the main business has not been delayed, and the country has been taken care of in an orderly manner...

"I know Septon Barth, I heard that he was born poor and is the son of Smith, Because the family couldn't support him, he was given to Church by the father." Jorah was stunned at first, and then questioned: "Why haven't I heard that he wrote "Unnatural History of Dragons"?"

"Septon Barth grew up smart and unusual, and was sent by the Church to work in the Imperial Family Library, where he not only learned endless knowledge, but also met the 'Old King' who loves to read, Jaehaerys I."

He looked towards Dany and added: "Old King is the grandson of Aegon Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he said to Jorah: "That book was not handed down. After Saint Baelor ascended the throne, he ordered Septon to be burned. Of all Barth's works, only a small number of manuscripts have been circulated overseas or collected by certain nobles."

Dany knows Saint Baelor, and Jorah sent her "Westeros Fairy Tales" with many of his legends. , and later she inquired about the deeds of Saint Baelor from Ser in detail.

Even if House Targaryen has more weirdos, this one is the weirdest of weirdos.
