Chapter 163 Memoirs
"However...in any case, this is an important discovery."
Viserys held back the greed that was stirring in his heart, and then clenched his fists.
"If the opportunity is right in the future, you can go and have a look."
Although the Valyrian Ruins are dangerous, they are very important to Viserys.
"I have a hunch—"
"The secret hidden in the black fog may be in this lost civilization."
House Targaryen was once one of the forty ancient houses of the Valyrian Freehold.
And Viserys, as a person of Valyrian blood, can see this black mist that is invisible to others around him.
And this black fog will express the current state of its host in the form of Valyrian words. Actively killing and plundering the souls of others can further contribute to the growth of the black fog.
The connection between the Black Mist and the Valyrian civilization has gradually become solid.
And these rubbish that Jillian Lannister had brought out of the ruins of Valyria contained a faint black mist.
This was the first time Viserys had seen this black fog from anywhere other than a dead person, and it further confirmed the hidden connection between the two.
Then Viserys put away the map of the parchment, and opened the diary left by the 'Maester'.
as predicted.
This diary records what happened after Jillian left Lannisport at the age of eighteen.
The long ten years are condensed in this thin diary.
He once drove the Laughing Lion to Volantis, but half of the crew on the ship gave up following when they heard that Jillian was going to the legendary Sea of Smoke, so Jillian could only buy slaves to replace them.
In the following days, Jillian has been planning to enter the ruins of Valyria. Among them, he even encountered several deceptions, was almost killed, and almost went bankrupt. He desperately wanted to commit suicide.
The text Jillian wrote here is very pathetic.
But fortunately, there is no way out, Jillian finally cheered up, and organized a small fleet into the sea of smoke.
Viserys looked at Jillian's diary with relish.
This is not so much a diary as an autobiography. If Jillian is willing to publish his diary, I am afraid he will make a lot of money.
However, since he organized the fleet to enter the sea of smoke, Jillian's writing has undergone a drastic change.
Although Viserys tried his best to imagine, he still couldn't understand from the ambition just now, to the joy when he saw the ruins of Valyria, to the despair that finally fell to the bottom...
What have they experienced in this?
"tentacle?"
"Tentacles?"
"The huge tentacles swept away a crew member, he let out a scream, and was dragged into the pitch-black sea."
This diary is a memoir written by Jillian after he escaped from the ruins of Valyria, and he also recorded his own reactions at the time.
"I felt like I was terrified at that time."
"My legs are like lead, I desperately want to escape but I can't move an inch. I can only watch the tentacles that cover the sky and continue to swept away a crew member..."
"They didn't even scream, I thought they were dragged into the water and drowned."
"However--"
"Until I shivered and hid in a crevice on the deck, I saw a crew member being rolled up by the huge tentacles with my own eyes."
"Then the whole body was stripped of flesh and blood by a huge force, and only a pair of dead bones fell into the black sea water."
Jillian's words were full of fear.
call.
Seeing this, Viserys couldn't help breathing a little too quickly. He took a deep breath and squeezed the five fingers of this memoir so hard that his fingernails turned white.
"Is this a sea monster?"
Viserys tried his best to imagine what it would be like when a giant deep-sea squid the size of a three-masted ship would attack humans.
Jillian's record, however, only allows Viserys to associate the deep-sea squid with the words 'tentacle' and 'tentacle'.
And they don't seem to be just one, there are more bizarre creatures attacking them in Jillian's description.
Fortunately, although the crew suffered heavy casualties, they still fought back, cut off the tentacles of several sea monsters, and finally escaped the attack of the sea monsters and fled to the land.
"These sea monsters seem to be very afraid of this land, and they will stop when they reach a certain range, but they don't seem to be able to stay away. They can only stay under the deep sea around the Valyrian continent forever."
"Otherwise, once these monsters escape, there will be seven layers of hell! God knows what terrible things will be caused."
These are the original words from Jillian's memoirs.
The fleet lost several ships, and then relying on luck and tenacious will to survive, finally broke through the attack of the sea monsters, cleared the boiling fog on the sea, and came to the edge of the Valyrian continent. The sea monsters arrived He didn't dare to pursue it here, and retreated voluntarily.
"Maybe this disaster created them. After all, I have been to many places. There is no such monster in the rest of the world, except Valyria."
"So, they don't want to leave here, they stop growing when they leave here, but maybe die when they get close to the land."
The next words are that Jillian has a direct connection between the sea monster and the natural disaster, and made a guess of his own.
But no one could corroborate what he said.
Then Viserys' fingers turned the pages to the next one.
He already regretted giving Jillian a glass of poisoned wine. If he had known that Jillian knew so much, he would not have let him die like this.
However, it's too late to say anything now, the poisonous wine has been given, and it's too late to get it back, maybe it won't be long before you hear the news of Jillian's death.
Viserys shook his head regretfully, but he had no choice but to look down.
Next.
Jillian's memoirs came to the land of Valyria.
They broke through the sea of smoke at great cost, and finally landed on Valyria, a land full of mystery and horror.
Among them, many crew members and even slaves in Jillian's fleet refused to continue to explore because they were so frightened that they even arrested Jillian and wanted to kill the person who deceived them.
However, although Jillian was afraid, he still gave full play to his eloquence and finally persuaded some slaves and crew to let him go.
After all, the ship has been seriously damaged now, and it cannot go back immediately and must be repaired in situ.
They had no choice but to move forward.
However.
On the night of the first day this group of survivors landed on the island, another very terrifying thing happened.
