Chapter 73
It didn't take long for Big Black to "crash". He first fell to the sea like a log, and was swept up by strong winds halfway through. After such a bumpy back and forth, Big Black woke up from a brief stupor.
Dany Dreki's state has not been lifted. Although she was treated by Soul electrotherapy once, she is still in good condition. After a few words of comfort to Jorah, she began to direct Big Black to fly again.
This time, Big Black lowered its height.
Dany is not stupid, she has long considered the issue of lightning strikes. In Earth, the highest thunder cloud layer is only 10 kilometers.
According to her original idea, Big Black could go beyond the dark clouds and into the position close to the stratosphere.
Who would have thought that Big Black had reached the height limit - more than 10,000 meters (ps), still did not cross the thundercloud layer, and was unfortunately hit by lightning.
(ps: The original book did not mention how high a dragon can fly, but many birds in nature can fly to more than 10,000 meters. Why did Big Black eat a Half God dragon? The most important thing is, The dragon is not yet limited by low temperature and low oxygen.)
Since it can't get over, then drill under the lightning, the total impossible lightning cloud is 10 kilometers thick, right?
When it dropped to about 2,000 meters, Big Black couldn't continue to descend. The more he went down the sea, the stronger the wind, he couldn't maintain his balance in the violent storm.
Fortunately, this height can barely avoid thunderclouds.
As such, Big Black struggled to navigate it.
Five minutes have passed, the road ahead is vast, there is a heavy rain, shuaa gusts of wind.
Half an hour passed, the road ahead was bleak, and the water vapor poured on Big Black, evaporating a white mist channel.
An hour later, Big Black growled, he was hungry.
“Have you entered the island yet?” Jorah asked for the fifth time.
Dany unperturbed to comfort him four times before: It will be there in a while, Big Black is flying fast!
Big Black really flies very fast, can fly 150 kilometers per hour.
Is the Wall of Storms more than 150 kilometers?
"No, Big Black is lost!" Dany finds that Big Black's perception of the magnetic field is disrupted.
Dany was able to receive seven or eight senses from Big Black in addition to his five senses when he first merged with Dreki.
Dany doesn't know what those seven or eight kinds of unfamiliar perceptions are. She is just an ordinary person, without a small universe of cultivation, and can only understand the five senses of eyes, nose, ears, touch, and tongue.
In addition, through taste, Dany knew Big Black's favorite food - bison hind leg bone marrow.
Every time he sucked on his hind leg bone, his taste response was particularly exciting.
After several months of uninterrupted testing, Dany identified magnetic field perception, thermal perception and hazard perception.
Hazard perception was discovered the last time Sorrowful Men assassinated her, and the moment Sorrowful Men took out the box, a perception message she had never understood was beating violently.
Dany doesn't know what it means, but knows it means danger.
This is great news for her.
In the future, Dany can infer whether the person on the other side wants to be detrimental to oneself by observing the fluctuation intensity of that perception signal.
At this time, she suddenly noticed that Big Black's magnetic field perception fluctuated greatly, so she guessed that he might be lost.
"Can you find a way back?" Whitebeard asked nervously.
"Yes, I am the best coordinates." Dany sighed then said, ending the failed Valyria expedition.
Big Black turned around and charged towards Dany's position.
Well, he had been flying away from Dany before, which should theoretically be... well, this is also her ill-considered, flying around the Wall of Storms arc, which is also far away Dany's direction.
"Hey, that's... a boat!" Fifteen minutes later, Dany exclaimed suddenly.
"There are others exploring the ruins of Valyria!" She yelled excitedly when she realized it.
“What?” Jorah and the others wondered.
"I was... oh, Big Black saw a boat in the storm," she said.
"Impossible." Groleo shook his head.
After waiting on the bridge deck for two hours without seeing the dragon come back, Blackbeard rushed to the cabin anxiously.
"No ship can resist such a fierce storm. As long as it is involved, it will be torn to shreds in an instant." He said with absolute certainty.
Dany shook his head and said, "Seeing is believing. When Big Black descends to 2000 meters, you can see the sand lizards in desert. If you don't believe me, you can ask Jorah and Aggo them."
"Khaleesi is right," Jhogo said immediately, "I have seen a dragon fall from the sky to capture a sand lizard hidden in the grass."
"This... ." Groleo hesitantly said: "Could it be a wreck?"
Dany didn't bother to answer him.
Big Black hovered for a long time in the sky on the turbulent sea ship. Through the dark clouds and heavy rain, I could vaguely see its mainsail folded, only two low sails on the side. Spread like wings.
Although swaying left and right, it never overturned like a tumbler.
This is an expert.
The sea and the sky were the same color, forming a dim space. Even with Big Black's eyesight, he couldn't see the people on the boat, nor could he see the name of the ship painted on the hull.
"When it comes out, shall we go over and find out about the ruins of Valyria?" Dany asks oneself's think tank.
Jorah thought for a while, and said, "Don't get too close, send a small boat first--"
"No." Whitebeard interrupted him directly, saying seriously: "There is no one who dares to explore the ruins of Valyria. More importantly, if the other party succeeds, there must be huge gains. No matter what we say in the past, we can't dissuade him unless... "
The old man's blue eyes met Dany's purple eyes and said slowly, "Unless Her Highness the Princess has the idea of profiting from somebody's misfortune."
You Bad old fogey, very bad!
I guessed the dark thoughts of this Young Lady at once.
If you guess it, you will guess it. What did you say?
Shouldn't a real good courtier immediately put the blame for profiting from somebody's misfortune on oneself?
For example, if you tried hard to persuade Her Highness the Princess to put the overall situation first, for the Seven Kingdoms absolutely looking forward to your people, just come and eat black, with those treasure secrets, complex The country is hopeful!
Then, the righteous and kind-hearted I will refuse in every possible way, and you will persuade me in every possible way, and finally force a "cut first and then play", I have no choice but to...
oh!
"Then let's lift the anchor and leave immediately." Dany sighed into his deep and quiet blue eyes: "I want to know how to fish more than a big fat fish... Oh, forget it, those guys are 80% outlaws, and we really have bad intentions and are no match for them."
"What fishing?" The tall and fat Eunuch pulled out the machete from his waist , asked suspiciously: "We won't rob that ship?"
This rammed cargo, I'm too lazy to care about you.
Whitebeard seemed to find out that his daughter really went to her best friend's house, instead of fooling around with the wild boy as oneself thought, he sighed and said: "Her Highness the Princess, you are Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, rich The whole country. For you, only the honor of the people and the Royal Family is the most important, gold and silver are meaningless in the mortal world."
"hmph, don't you need money to buy Unsullied? Golden Dragon is meaningless, you Talk to Tywin." Jorah scolded him, then turned to Dany, said resolutely: "It's right to leave immediately, we may not really be their opponents.
If on land, 80 A name screamer rides a Dragon Horse, even if they have two hundred Swordsman, we can fight, but on the sea, horse men can't stand firm.
As for the fleet of hundreds of sailors, we can save ourselves more than enough. But they don't have enough courage and motivation to launch a mortal attack, and the enemy will rain down a few rounds of arrows, and the sailors will definitely be defeated."
If there are pirates attacking the caravan, the sailors can only do their best to survive, and the battle loss rate is acceptable. more than 50%. But working for Dany, morale will collapse when the death rate reaches 10%.
Dany oneself understands this too, but...
"I didn't say I was going to rob that ship," Dany said angrily, with a stern face. "I only said that I met a ship returning from Valyria, and I was going to ask them if they needed help, and then ask them where they got in."
These bastards see me as a who is up? !
Seeing that she was angry, several people fell silent awkwardly. Groleo also quietly returned to the bridge deck, loudly instructing the crew to lift the anchor, Yang Fan, and turn the rudder.
Ten minutes later, Big Black flew down to the deck and Dany hurriedly went to feed him with a bucket of nuggets.
About half an hour later, the sail angle was corrected, and the big-bellied seaboat creaked northeast, away from the Wall of Storms.
Ten minutes later, the lookout shouted to the deck: "That ship came out, and someone actually passed the Wall of Storms!"
"deng deng deng . ......" A group of idle sailors on the deck quickly ran to the stern, scrambling to watch with their spectacles.
Well, although this world has a medieval system, the level of technology is not low. The lens technology of the city-state of Myr on the west coast is famous all over the world, and the spectacles are only pediatrics. Maester of Westeros even built a high-precision astronomical telescope.
Dany didn't scramble for the one-way spectacles, she could see better than the sailors, simply by deflecting her head on the top of the mast.
Eagle can spot rabbits running in the grass 10 kilometers away from an altitude of 4000 meters, and can continuously adjust the sight distance and focus to see more details.
A dragon has stronger eyes than an eagle.
Dany saw that it was a longboat with narrow sails like a blade, a dark red hull, a huge sail as dark as the night sky, the low wing-like jibsails gradually stowed, and the mainsail was slow. Slowly pulling it up, it was twice as wide as the hull, and the extra part spread diagonally beyond the side of the ship.
That shape looks fast, especially fast, it seems to be specially designed for fast sailing.
Black sail bulging, as full and upright as Muscular Barbie's chest, the ship rushes out of the final storm zone towards sharp arrow.
It really got out of trouble, traversing the purgatory-like Wall of Storms.
"Captain, the other party found us!" Lookout yellowed.
Big Black flame-red eyes adjusted the focus, and Dany also noticed that there was a man standing on the bow of the other party's stilts, looking towards them with his glasses.
The distance between the two sides is about 15 nautical miles, about 30 kilometers, not too far, not too close, basically at a safe distance.
The other party is a fast ship and can leave quickly, not to mention fleeing profiting from somebody's misfortune.
But...
"They changed direction!" The lookout shouted in confusion, "It seems...to come to us. Now, do you want to ask for help?"
"Damn, that's a pirate!" Groleo cursed suddenly.
He also has glasses and has been observing the long and narrow fast ship.
