Chapter 162 Devil's Land
Viserys let out a light breath after absorbing the black mist.
Then I started to look carefully at these miscellaneous things in the box.
click...
He first reached out and took out the bronze candlestick from inside.
There are some mottled marks on this candlestick, and it can be seen that this thing may have passed for many years.
But apart from these, there is nothing else that stands out.
Viserys weighed the candlestick in his hand, then set it aside.
Then he continued to take out other things from the bronze box. There were a lot of broken things in the box, not only the ones I saw at the beginning, but also some other things, but most of them were broken utensils.
Although Viserys doesn't know how to do it, he can see that these things should be some old objects that have gone through an unknown number of years.
in.
When he took out the faceless female stone sculpture, Viserys observed it repeatedly for a long time.
Because among the artifacts just now, only she carried the most black mist on her body.
"Who is this woman?"
Viserys looked at the stone sculpture in his hand, his lavender eyes fixed.
Because of the "wrath of the gods", Valyria experienced a terrible disaster, this powerful civilization and race was torn to pieces, and many precious books have disappeared in the long river of history.
It is difficult for people outside Valyria to fully restore the specific picture of this civilization. Even the records of the Targaryen family are not very detailed.
And many have been lost in several turmoils over the centuries, including the Dance of the Dragon The looting of the soldiers of Nist.
Although Dragonstone still stores a lot of books, there are still many precious orphans lost in the war, so Viserys cannot fully restore the original historical appearance of Valyria even if he has read many books .
but.
Viserys looked at the faceless stone sculpture in his hand, and he intuitively thought that this woman might have played a very important role in the civilization of Valyria.
Because Viserys felt that this stone sculpture was a bit like a miniature version of the gods enshrined in the Church of the Seven Holy Spirit.
"Is this also a god statue?"
Viserys made some bold guesses, then fiddled with it again, and placed it with the other junk.
"Combining with Jillian Lannister's resume, these things should be relics from the Valyrian civilization period."
When Jillian Lannister was eighteen years old, he left Lannisport to Volantis in the Laughing Lion. First, he was looking for the family's lost magic weapon 'Light Howl', and second, he wanted to explore the secret of Vale. Leah's ruins, excavate this lost civilization.
"I just don't know where Jillian got these things. Did he find a way to enter the ruins of Valyria?"
Viserys thought for a moment, but then shook his head.
"impossible."
Today, the ruins of Valyria are called the "Devil's Land", because few people who enter this land can come back alive, and even if they come out alive, they will inexplicably contract a strange disease and die.
Perhaps it was hidden too deeply on weekdays. Except for the tactic of trying to kill three birds with one stone, Viserys did not feel that the 'bachelor' had such an ability.
but.
Everyone has a secret in their heart, and Viserys' secret has its own real life experience and black mist.
For Jillian, who has no inheritance rights and is shrouded in the halo of his brother, he must bravely come out if he wants to make a career.
So his biggest secret is his experience exploring the ruins of Valyria.
Viserys guessed that he probably hadn't even mentioned it to his big brother, Tywin Lannister.
Then Viserys put the statue and the tatters together, and felt again from the bottom of the crate.
Finally, he took out a thick roll of parchment paper, which was also wrapped with a thin diary. It seemed that Jillian did have the habit of writing a diary.
"What is this?"
Viserys unfolded the parchment scroll in his hand, but just glanced at it, the expression on his face was slightly stunned, and he couldn't believe his eyes.
"This... it won't."
"Did I really guess it right?"
Now, on the parchment in Viserys' hand, there is a sketch like a map, marking the bright reefs and bunkers, every small island, and the route of the voyage, of which red pens are used in many places. Outlined, and some places are crossed.
"Is this a map for entering the ruins of Valyria?!"
wow...
Viserys stood up from the chair involuntarily holding the parchment paper, startling the surrounding guards, not knowing what His Majesty the King saw so excited.
Viserys never thought that he was just guessing, but Jillian Lannister seemed to have actually visited the ruins of Valyria.
And withdrew, drawing a map to enter the ruins of Valyria.
"Is this true?"
Viserys felt his head lift up instantly, and his eyes became bright.
Valyria's ruins hold amazing treasures.
Exploring the ruins of Valyria, then taking a few things out of it and getting out of it, the story of finally making a fortune in Essos continues to circulate every once in a while.
Most of the protagonists of the story are destitute desperadoes who escaped from the ruins of Valyria by taking risks.
Then he gained amazing wealth and status, became a wealthy businessman and even the governor prince of a city-state, etc.
This kind of story Viserys has not heard how many versions, and it comes up every once in a while.
When Jillian was eighteen years old, he may have heard such a story, and then he came to Volantis without hesitation, preparing to brave this 'land of demons'.
But is Jillian also one of the lucky ones who can get out of here?
If this parchment map is true, it is indeed an inestimable treasure.
I don't know how many people will be crazy about it, dragon eggs, Valyrian steel swords, armors, various treasures and so on.
Even if Viserys has seen the big scene, it is inevitable that his heart will be racing in the face of such a treasure, and he can't help but want to try it.
"calm."
In the end, however, Viserys resisted the urge in his heart.
Because he knew very well that this seemingly easy wealth was not so easy to get.
In that cursed land, there was even something that could hurt Balerion, the Black Death in his prime.
