Chapter 179
"Why don't you move to Mantarys?"
Dany moved down the precious items such as sugar, spices, silk, Myr lace, etc. on the dragon's back, while looking at the gorgeous silk cloth, his eyes lit up. Jaen.
Now that she knows she'll be dealing with the Long Summer "Fiend", Dany certainly brings a slew of adaptable gifts.
"It's true that the environment here is worse, but it's also closer to the old capital of the south."
It's closer to Belaerys, right?
It seems that belief in god might really have a distance limit.
Dany greeted the two dragons flying into the sky, and she followed High Priest to the Heavenspan Pagoda spiral staircase.
Dark gray walls are hung with ancient frescoes, pennants, anointed swords, and tragic white wild beast heads. The blanket on the floor was very thick, like stepping on a cotton ball. Although it was not embroidered with exquisite patterns, it was very clean.
The wooden furniture in the hall is also very new, with a layer of oily luster, but the bronze strips that fix the oak door panels have a thick layer of green rust, which can hardly hide the traces of the years.
Along the way, Dany didn't even see a single guard, except for a few gray-clothed maids with slanted eyes and crooked mouths, who put down their work and came over to pay respect on their knees.
Going off the Heavenspan Pagoda, Jaen looked back at the towering towers with mottled walls behind him, and said to Dany sadly: "This used to be almost the center of the world, the brilliance of civilization, as long as it is the praise that human beings can create. You can find the words here."
"I heard 'prophecy' and 'break the cage' a few times, and it seemed to say to lift the curse and return to the glory of Old Valyria?" Dany asked.
Jaen was shocked when he heard it, and said devoutly like a sermon: "Balerion Your Majesty has clearly understood the future, leaving us a prophecy that an ancient and glorious descendant of the noble will awaken the first generation Dragonlord. Bloodline, he will help Your Majesty break the shackles and return to the world from the abyss."
Dany frowned, "So it is, I thought it was to break the curse of the Lands of Long Summer."
"hehe, when Your Majesty returns, the curse will be nothing." Young priestess lightly said with a smile.
Although the road connecting Heavenspan Pagoda and Sept is old, there is no rubbish. There are still a group of children fighting for a takraw ball on the street. Their innocent and romantic laughter is for this dim black and white city inject a burst of vibrant color.
Oros's "Deformed Personnel Relocation Plan" has been implemented very well. From the physical point of view, the children are almost normal people.
"Hello, High Priest!" The thin stream of people on the road stopped, bent over to salute Jaen, and cast curious glances at Dany in the "silver" armor and golden cape.
Jaen also smiled and gestured to passersby nodded.
It can be seen that she is really popular with the public and loves oneself people very much.
"Is the person in the prophecy impossible to be me?" Dany asked, licking his face.
"If it were you, I would have sent someone to find you." Jaen said with a smile.
Dany showed disappointment on purpose, and said angrily: "Why? Is my bloodline not noble enough? I hatched a dragon."
"You don't belong to Fourteen Peaks, nor do you belong to Fourteen Peaks. There is no bloodline of the First Peak Lord."
Jaen looked sideways at Dany, "But your bloodline is indeed pure, and if I were a male, the two of us might have the predicted child."
To give birth to a deformed doll?
Dany sneered in his heart, "That's a pity."
"Volantis also has noble Belaerys, you can marry Volantis, which can not only solve the current predicament of Slaver's Bay, but also Raise the bloodline of Targaryen's descendants."
After taking down Volantis, I will kill all the nobles behind the Black Wall.
Well, let my "Maester Lai" cook them.
"Why only the Fourteen Peaks family?"
"The will of the Spiritual God."
But why does Balerion make such a request?
“What are the qualities of the first generation Dragonlord bloodline?” Dany asked again.
"Only True God knows."
On approaching, Dany discovered that Sept had almost collapsed into the sea, half of its foundations on land, half suspended on a sea cliff, with the tall Blackstone tower facing The sea is inclined at 30 degrees.
Ten times more exaggerated than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
It didn't collapse, the construction quality of the different world is really good!
Dany can only sigh with emotion.
Like the roofless Heavenspan Pagoda and Valyrian road, the Sept black tower is also a one-piece structure, as if it was irrigated directly in the mold with cement.
The thick wall with mixed elements gives a strong sense of security.
"My God, there is no crack in the wall at such an inclination angle. How did you do it?" Barristan, who had been silent for a long time, was also shocked.
"I wonder if High Priest can teach me Valyria building techniques?" Dany looked towards Jaen eagerly.
"I won't." High Priest shook his head.
The blond old man next to him explained: "Similar to the forging method of Valyria steel, the enchanted skills of the immortal stone are also closely kept in the treasury of ancestral land."
"But I remember Targaryen Mastering the technology of creating secondary immortal stones, Dragonstone is strong enough." The old Priest looked towards Dany in confusion.
"Immortal stone, Dragonstone..." Daenys hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "It's been lost for hundreds of years!"
"crash-bang ——huhuhu — —"
The dark red water under the sea cliff set off a huge wave ten meters high, and the hot water with white smoke washed a wet mark on the Blackstone Leaning Tower.
As if the steam boiler was suddenly opened, a wave of white air visible to the naked eye blew Dany's silver hair into the sky.
"Ser, are you alright?" Dany looked worried towards White Cloak beside him.
The sea water is boiling, and the water vapor is estimated to be forty-fifty, which is unbearable for ordinary people.
Well, here is Barristan, an "ordinary person", and Valyrian has a high temperature resistant innate talent.
"pēng pēng pēng..." The old Knight patted the crystal lens that came out of the face armor's eye hole, and said loudly: "Except for the water vapor that blurs the vision, everything else is fine."
>"Let's go in," Jaen said.
Dany looked at the bright red sky with a wry smile, "Do you have night here? It seems that the sun sets behind the western mountains now."
Looking up, the sun and moon are not visible, the sky is full of Layers of gloomy dark red light color, like a large block of blood, like a thick blood-stained cotton quilt pressed on the sea, pressing on everyone's heart.
Looking down, you can see that there is a bright red in the depths of the dark sea, like a light bulb in the water lit one after another.
A string of small flames rose from the charred reef in the water, which was immediately extinguished by the incoming tide. The tide receded, and the reef made a Tzzzzzzzz sound, the white smoke was steaming, and there was a "squeak". , the dim red flame appeared on the reef again, swaying in a flirtatious dance.
fuck!
There is an active volcano below!
Dany's heart thumped with fright.
"Seabed has volcanoes!" she shouted to Jaen.
Jaen glanced down at the sea, and serene said, "Yes."
"It's an active volcano, right next to us, below Sept!"
Dany's voice is distorted and her cheeks must be deformed.
"Yes."
Jaen remained indifferent, and the old priests behind her also had expressions of "what are you doing making a fuss about nothing".
"Aren't you afraid? If the volcano erupts, Oros will be over." Dany growled.
"Valyrian is afraid of volcanoes? Hehe ......"
Hearing the pride and contempt in Jaen's tone, Dany said angrily: "Valyria will be destroyed if not A volcanic eruption?"
Jaen stopped, looked back at Dany seriously, and said, "Do you really think so? We have been driving Fourteen Flames and hundreds of nearby large and small volcanoes for 6,000 years, even Minor accidents are also rare, because every inch of the ground beneath the volcano is pulsing under the watch of the Sorcerer Council."
"You mean the cataclysm has a secret mastermind?" Dany exclaimed.
"I don't know."
"Even so, you don't have the Old Valyria Grand Sorcerer's ability to control volcanoes, do you?"
"You will soon be Understood." Jaen mysterious smiled and pushed open the three-meter-high white wooden door.
Barristan stroked the wooden door and said in surprise: "Weirwood?!"
Maiden the Great Priest nominated, saying: "It is said that Weirwood contains the power of the Old Gods and is one of the most excellent witchcraft materials. One, it's also often used to make furniture that can last forever."
"Essos also has Weirwood?" Dany said curiously.
"It should be extinct by now, but...before we humans appeared, the Children of the Forest and Giant had existed on the earth for millions of years, maybe they were also in this continent I have lived, maybe there was Weirwood in the whole world at that time."
"Squeak..."
The heavy Weirwood door opened, and the bright black light made Dany squinted slightly. Open your eyes.
In the center of the 100-meter-square stone hall was a twisted obsidian candle, the top of which was burning with a dazzling black flame.
black glow can't dispel the darkness in the space, but eerily allows everyone to see all the nearby scenes - the gray horizon.
"glass candles!" Barristan exclaimed, "a hundred times bigger than the flames we saw last time in Qarth."
Warlock Urrathon can also light glass candles like the reflection of snow in the sun dazzling rays of light, but only a blob of flame the size of an egg yolk.
The glass candles in the hall of Oros Sept literally set off a bonfire.
Dany looked at the exquisite carvings on the walls and columns, all of which were telling the scene of the Old Valyria Dragonlord's conquest of the world.
There are five images clearly distinguishing the Harpy flag and the lance-waving spiked helmet Warrior, which is clearly five Ghis wars.
Withdrawing her gaze, she looked at the glass candle and asked curiously, "Why is the black flame not blocking our view?"
"What color do you think the sunlight is?" High Priest asked.
“Colorless?” Dany asked.
Jaen glanced proudly at the "stupid mortal" and chuckled, "hehe, you can try the prism in the sun."
not simple, Valyrian The cognition of the world is far beyond the scientific level shown in this era.
"I'll try." Dany said with a sullen face.
Barristan has been on high alert, looking around cautiously, suddenly he looked startled, looked down again, and said in horror: "We have no shadow!"
Dany looked down, sure enough , the seams of the azure marble floor underfoot are clearly visible, but there is no shadow.
"It should be a glass candle effect." She looked towards Jaen.
"Shadows are unknown," High Priest said solemnly.
"Rah—"
The four old priests interrupted Dany quickly: "Holy place, don't say that name!"
Dany looked thoughtful nodding, asking, "Where's the Divine Idol from Balerion Your Majesty?"
