Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 33 The Devil's Corpse

The last time the Blood Riders were ordered to go out to explore the terrain and properties, of course they couldn't go at night. Although the Weeping Blood Star in the sky was dyed red in the sky, it was completely impossible to see the distant scenery clearly with the red light.

So, Argo and the others worked really hard last time.

This time is different, the purpose is clear, there is no need to detect whether there are people or large animals nearby

The weeping star of blood and fire hangs above the head, not dragged down by the old and weak women and children of the khalasar, Dany takes the lead, and the little silver horse gallops happily on the red sand all over the ground, with a long and thin line of red dust between the horse's hooves.

Jorah and her bloodrider were three horses behind Dany, followed by twenty Howling Dothraki warriors.

The sound of rumbling horseshoes spread far in the ground, and the sand lizard with reddish-brown scales poked its head out of the grass, as if feeling the vibration of the ground.

"Squeal—"

"Quack—boom—"

A sharp and rough cry suddenly sounded above the head, and the sand lizard the size of a wild cat was vigilantly trying to retreat into the grass, but it was a string of dark red flames falling from the sky.

The black smoke mixed with the smell of sulfur suddenly ignited the devil grass beside him.

The sand lizard squeaked and fled out of the sea of ​​flames, and the next moment the sky darkened, it rose into the air with nowhere to go.The stinging pain from the sharp teeth piercing the weak abdomen has not dispelled the panic in his heart, "boom", a ball of flames swept across, and the sand lizard completely lost consciousness.

"Tap Tap"

The horseshoes stepped on it one after another, and the devil grass ignited by the dragon flame quickly sank into the shallow red sand, leaving only wisps of white smoke swaying in the wind.

Dany looked up at the young dragons scrambling for blood in the sky, and a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The centaur's sense of direction was very good, and the group of them found the keel almost without detours in the middle of the night.

If you think about it, it is true that people with a bad sense of direction cannot become Kalasar's scouts, because the Dothraki Sea of ​​Grass is less recognizable than the red wasteland, and scouts are scattered in all directions, and the farthest they have to leave Karasar is a day or two. ride.

"Seven Gods, is this really the skeleton of a creature?!"

Even though she had heard many times that Balerion could swallow a buffalo in one gulp, Dany couldn't help but exclaim when she saw a keel the size of a destroyer.

The bones exposed outside the sand are off-white, and the deeper they go into the ground, the darker the bones become.Originally, only a small half of the skull was exposed on the ground. Last time, in order to detect the size of the keel, Rakalo dug up the sand that buried the skull.

"If the sand and soil are completely dug out, the project will be too big, and it will take a lot of time." Dany climbed on top of the two-story-high dragon's head, looked at the burial site that had accumulated into a curved hill, and began to hesitate in her heart.

Jorah looked at the huge skull with a frown and said, "Your Highness, what do you plan to do with this keel corpse? I'm afraid it's unrealistic to transport them all back."

"This" Dani smiled wryly, "To be honest, I really planned to ship it back. I don't mention how many gold coins the keel can be exchanged for, but it's just made into a weapon. You have seen the power of the keel bow. It is a must for a warrior. device!"

"Mamin doesn't have the technology to forge keel weapons. Only the top Kohor blacksmiths can shape keel into weapons." Jorah shook his head.

"What do you say? Leave it here?" she asked.

Jorah rubbed his chin and suggested, "Choose some keels that are easy to carry and go back, and bury the rest on the spot, and come back to pick them up later as needed."

"The skull was too large to handle, and the bone was taken from the wings."

Dani gave an order, and Ma Min began to work in full swing.They followed the dragon's neck and dug into the waist and abdomen. They didn't need to dig too deep, just enough to search for broken bones as much as possible.

The bone that Rakharo brought back was a broken bone. It seemed that the dragon was seriously injured and unable to fly, and fell to the ground halfway from the sky, just as Dani guessed.

"Hey, this bone is so slender, isn't it?" A centaur stopped digging, picked up a 40cm long bone stick from the sand, and looked back and forth in confusion.

Along the route of "head-neck-back-wing", the centaur dug a meandering ravine.

The sandy soil was soft, much easier than expected, and the ditch was two or three meters deep.

They dug to the middle of their necks when the sky was a deep indigo.

"Kalixi, there is a situation. It's not a keel. I dug up a human corpse." The centaur yelled loudly, and his faint trembling could make people feel his fear. "This is not a human, it's a devil. It shouldn't be like this."

"The devil, the devil's corpse!" The other Ma people who were working leaned over to take a look, and also yelled in horror.

As a big boss, of course Dani doesn't have to work, she has been training Xiaolong before.

Hearing the noise coming from the pit, she trotted over quickly, looked at the horse man in the pit, and shouted: "There are no devils, and the devils dare not approach the dragon, even if it is a dragon corpse that has been dead for many years! It must be a human." uh"

At the beginning, she was full of anger, but as the crowd moved away and saw the twisted bones half buried in the brown sand, she also got stuck in horror.

The corpse was really too terrifying. It was a corpse curled up like a mother's fetus, not a pure skeleton.

Its skin is like purple-black demon scales, tightly wrapping the bones, and you can see the rough "scales" the size of a thumbnail, which are as rough as old tree bark, densely packed, covering the whole body.

Is the arm curled up on the chest really an arm, and not some kind of creature's claw?

Ten dagger-like fingers poked towards the sky, as if they were ready to go, and they were about to choose someone to devour.

The corpse was as thin as a bony child, but its sharp teeth and claws were 20cm long, completely out of proportion.

What's even more frightening is that the eyeballs in the eye sockets of the dead body have not been corroded and weathered, um, they have not been decomposed by bacteria.

There is black pitch-like mucus around the dark purple eyeballs, staring at everyone "maliciously" like a living person, and the mouth that is almost split 180 degrees seems to be roaring the devil's curse.

"Fack" scolded an earth dialect, and Dany immediately followed suit, "Seven Hells, Sir Jorah, you have seen a lot, but do you know what kind of race this is?"

She has not forgotten that this is a fantasy world, even the children of the forest and giants, and it is not uncommon for goblins and jackals to appear.

"He should be human." Jorah was also digging in the pit. Hearing this, he walked to the first centaur who found the corpse, and took the pale bone stick from him.

"Your Highness, look." He raised the bone and shook it at Dani, and then used the bone to make gestures at the left leg of the "devil" corpse, "the corpse is missing a leg, which is the one in my hand. According to your Previous speculation about the origin of the dragon, a dragon escaped from Valyria in the Cataclysm.

So, is it possible that it was driven away by a knight?

The dragon was badly wounded and died, falling from mid-air, and the knight broke his leg, so that the lower leg bone was separated from the corpse. "

Ago retorted: "Look at the long calf bones, which completely don't match the skinny corpse. If the corpse is really human, then he is also a dwarf."

The calf bone without the soles exceeds 40cm, indicating that its owner must have been an Angzang man during his lifetime.

The crouched corpse is probably no more than 1.2 meters tall.

"It is said that the ancient Valyrian ruins from the Land of Long Summer to the Sea of ​​Smoke are still shrouded in curses." Ser Jorah stood up, looked at Dany solemnly and said, "From Volantis to Slaver's Bay, there is clearly a curse." The Valyrian Avenue left over from the period of the Freedom Fortress, but they would rather take a boat around the Valyrian ruins and travel several times longer. The road leading to Mataris is called the Devil’s Avenue."

"Didn't Valyria be destroyed by a volcanic eruption, why is it related to the curse again?" Dany wondered.

"I don't know," Jorah speculated with a frown. "Maybe it's the ghost of the Dragon King of ancient Valyria? We all know that Valyria is a civilization that masters dragon and blood magic."

"Hehe, you said just now that the death of the 'Dragon King' was horrific because of a curse." Dani pointed at the corpse of the "demon" in the pit, and said amusedly, "Aren't you contradicting yourself?"

"If it wasn't a curse, why didn't Valyria escape without a single dragon? Dragons can fly, and the earth fire magma is terrible, but if it can't burn the dragon, how can it kill all the dragons?" Jorah Asked back in a series of voices.

"Maybe he was cursed, so he rode a dragon to Qarth to ask the wizard for help." Ago interjected.

At first Ma Min was scared to death, but now he saw Khaleesi and Jorah arguing in front of the "devil" for a long time, but the demon did not attack.

Gradually, their courage returned.

"The wizards of Qarth are famous all over the world," Jorah said mockingly, "but they are famous because they often deceive the world with false magic. Even Westeros has appeared those blue-lipped liars. .”

"Then" Ago thought for a while, pointed to the east and said, "He might ride a dragon to the land of shadows on the other side of the Jade Sea, where wizards and shadow-binders are everywhere. The method of communicating with the devil learned there."

"Why do you think he's going to ask someone for help? Is there any magic skill stronger than Valyria?" Jorah sneered.

"Whether he intends to go to Asshai to find a wizard, or he was dazzled by the ground fire and flew here indiscriminately, it has nothing to do with us." Dany pointed at the demonic corpse, and ordered: "Don't touch it directly. Go to it, look for tree trunks and weeds nearby, and burn it on the spot, Valyrians believe in cremation, and I don't think I have insulted this senior dragon king."

Ma Min immediately stopped digging, climbed up the pit, and went around to collect firewood.

Around nine o'clock in the morning, Dany's three dragons breathed fire together and lit the firewood in the pit.Then dozens of people leaned against the giant's bones to hide from the sun, and continued to work in the evening.

Well, Dany lived the most comfortably. She made her home in the mouth of the dragon. Her thick head completely blocked the sunlight, and she lay on the cleaned mandible. It was cool and comfortable, and very interesting.
