#475 - Chapter 209: The Land Where Gods Fell (IV)

Aegon slowly stood up, his eyes still fixed on the direction the dragon had left, unable to regain his senses for a long time. Finally, he turned his head to face Jon Connington beside him, his tone full of longing and anticipation: "Lord Hand, that is a real dragon! It's truly intoxicating!"

Jon Connington quickly responded, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, from what I observed, this dragon did not show any intention of attacking, it must have just been passing by."

Aegon frowned slightly and asked, "Then, which dragon is this?"

Jon Connington thought for a moment, then replied, "Your Majesty, according to the information collected by Varys, only the dragon named Leviathan has a golden hue. And the person riding on its back must be the famous Marquis Garon! I heard that he often travels and likes to ride his dragon to inspect his properties scattered everywhere."

Aegon sighed and murmured to himself, "I wonder when I can have a dragon of my own like Marquis Garon..." His words revealed his desire.

Jon Connington: "...Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. Now that the dragons have returned, I will definitely find a dragon egg for you."

As the two were talking, Arianne, who was disguised, appeared outside the city. Aegon immediately went up to her: "My dear, you're alright, that's great."

Arianne: "Now that the dragon has appeared here, it is very likely to come again. For safety's sake, let's not stay in Storm's End for the next two days."

Jon Connington: "The Queen is right, I will arrange it immediately."

The Smoking Sea, this mysterious and dangerous area, was once the glorious Valyrian Peninsula, the heart of the Valyrian Freehold. However, the Doom completely destroyed it, the broken peninsula sank into the sea, submerged by endless seawater, and finally turned into the turbulent Smoking Sea as it is today.

In this boiling ocean, erupting volcanoes and smoking reefs can be seen everywhere. They seem to be the angry roars of the earth, or an unwilling accusation of past glory.

Many brave explorers come here attracted by its name, but they often encounter bizarre deaths, and their deaths are tragic. Moreover, as they gradually approach the old site of Valyria, this strange phenomenon of death becomes more frequent and obvious.

Back then, Liu Yuan had also set foot here in person. At that time, he noticed that there was a strange power permeating here, which was surprisingly similar to nuclear radiation. As time passed, now that Liu Yuan, who had advanced to the fourth rank, looked at this Smoking Sea again, he had a completely different understanding in his vision.

Countless lines intertwined, that was the fluctuation of energy in the air. Through the layers of mist, he keenly captured that in the center of the sea area obscured by smoke, there were two light waves of completely different colors constantly radiating outward. This strange sight shocked Liu Yuan and made him sink into contemplation.

At the same time, Leviathan, whose strength had reached the late third rank, seemed to vaguely sense the existence of that power. It appeared unusually frightened, constantly flapping its huge wings, hovering in the air, and hesitating to move forward.

Seeing this, Liu Yuan comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, let's go and see." As he spoke, he pointed to the land not far away, signaling Leviathan to fly in that direction.

Leviathan nimbly turned its direction in the air and swooped down like a shooting star. In the blink of an eye, it arrived at the land below.

Liu Yuan stood on the land, looking around, Leviathan's dragon wings stirred up strong winds, blowing away the surrounding mist. He could clearly see the remaining stone walls around, these stone walls seemed to be the traces left by the years, silently telling the past glory and vicissitudes. Upon closer inspection, it can be found that this is actually the ruins of a city, although only a dilapidated scene remains today, it can still vaguely recognize the prosperous appearance of the past.

Those incomplete and crumbling walls and stone pillars must be the buildings that once stood here. There is a more conspicuous place, after some identification, it can barely be seen that it is an extremely huge dragon-shaped statue. However, due to the long-term erosion and weathering of natural forces, this originally majestic statue has become unrecognizable.

At this time, Leviathan still seemed anxious. Seeing this, Liu Yuan thought for a moment and thought: he would next explore the Valyrian ruins in depth, and may even need to dive into the seabed to start an adventure. With Leviathan's huge body, it would be difficult to play a big role in this environment.

Rather than letting it add to the trouble here, it would be better to let it leave. So, Liu Yuan gently stroked Leviathan's head and said gently, "Go! Return to the City of Thorns and guard Daenerys. Wait patiently for my return!"

Hearing the master's words, Leviathan nodded obediently, rubbed Liu Yuan affectionately with its huge head, then spread its wings, soared into the air, and flew towards the distance. Gradually, Leviathan disappeared at the end of the sky, leaving this land that made it feel uncomfortable.

After watching Leviathan leave, Liu Yuan began to seriously examine the ruins of this long-abandoned city. Those rock walls that looked like small hills at first glance were once towering and majestic buildings.

Based on the vast knowledge accumulated in the Citadel and the large number of books he had read, Liu Yuan deduced that this place was very likely the famous Great Library of Pentos. According to rumors, the number of books stored here at that time was more than ten times that of the Citadel! It was the dream place of all scholars in that era, but now it is difficult to find the appearance of the past.

Going north from here is where the famous Valyrian City used to be. It is said that the city is located on a lake island at the foot of the Fourteen Flames.

The ancient Valyrians, with their extraordinary wisdom and exquisite skills, built huge bridges of unprecedented scale, connecting this isolated island closely with the surrounding continent. And that wide avenue known as the 'Dragon Road' traverses the entire Valyrian Peninsula.

Liu Yuan stepped to the seaside, his feet left the ground, and his figure floated on the turbulent sea, then flew towards the sea area shrouded in heavy mist.

The temperature here rises, and the air is filled with a strong and pungent sulfur smell. From time to time, the sea surface suddenly rises, and a column of hot steam rushes into the sky.
