"Why don't you move to Mataris?"
Danny asked Jenny, whose eyes were shining as she looked at the gorgeous silk as she moved the white sugar, spices, silk, Myr lace and other valuables down from the dragon's back.
Since she knew that she was going to deal with the "demons" of Long Summer, Danny of course brought a large number of practical gifts.
"The environment here is indeed worse, but it is also closer to the old capital in the south."
Closer to Belleris?
It seemed that the power of the God of Faith was limited by distance.
Danny called the two dragons to fly into the sky, and she followed the high priestess to the spiral staircase of the Tower of Babel.
The dark gray walls were decorated with old murals, banners, oiled swords, and pale beast skulls. The carpet 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 was also very new, with a layer of oily luster. However, the bronze bars that fixed the oak door had a thick layer of green rust, which could not hide the traces of time.
Along the way, Danny did not see a single guard except for a few grey-clothed maids with crooked eyes and crooked mouths, who put down their work and knelt down to greet her.
Walking down the Tower of Babel, Jenny looked back at the tall mottled tower behind her and said sadly to Danny, "Once, this was almost the center of the world, the glory of civilization. As long as it is a praise that can be created by humans, it can be found here."
"I heard a few times' prophecies' and 'breaking the cage'. It seems to be about removing the curse and returning to the glory of ancient Valleglia?" Danny asked.
Jenny was shocked and said piously as if she was preaching, "His Majesty Bellerion once saw the future and left us a prophecy. An ancient and glorious noble descendant will awaken the blood of the first Dragon King. He will help His Majesty break the shackles and return to the human world from the abyss."
Danny frowned, "I see. I thought it was about breaking the curse of the land of Long Summer."
"Haha, when His Majesty returns, the curse will be nothing." The priestess chuckled.
Although the road connecting the Tower of Babel and the Holy Church was old, it was not littered with garbage. On the street, there was a group of children fighting for a rattan ball. Their innocent and romantic laughter injected a fresh color into the bleak black and white city.
Orloss's "deformed individuals relocation plan" had been carried out quite well. From a physical standpoint, these children could be considered normal.
"Greetings, Your Excellency High Priest!" The thin crowd on the road stopped and bowed to Jenny. They also cast curious glances at Danny, who was wearing silver armor and a golden cloak.
Jenny also smiled and nodded to the passersby.
It could be seen that she was very popular with the citizens and loved her people very much.
"Could I be the person in the prophecy?" Dani asked, licking her lips.
"If it were you, I would have sent someone to look for you." Jenny laughed.
Danny purposely revealed a disappointed expression and indignantly asked, "Why? Is my bloodline not noble enough? I hatched a dragon. "
"You don't belong to the fourteenth peak, and you don't have the bloodline of the first peak master."
Jenny tilted her head and looked at Danny. "But your bloodline is indeed pure. If I were a man, the two of us might be able to give birth to the child in the prophecy."
Give birth to a deformed child?
Danny sneered in her mind. "That's a pity."
"Volantis also has noble Bellerys. You can marry into Volantis. Not only will it solve the current situation at Slaver's Bay, but it will also improve the bloodline of the Targaryen descendants."
After conquering Volantis, I'll kill all the nobles behind the Black Wall.
Yes, I'll let my 'Maester' cook them up.
"Why only the families of the fourteenth peak can do it?"
"It's the will of the gods."
But why would Bellerion make such a request?
"What are the characteristics of the first Dragon King's bloodline?" Danny asked again.
"Only the true gods know."
After getting closer, Danny realized that the Holy Church had almost collapsed into the sea. Half of its foundation was on land, while the other half was suspended above the sea. The tall black stone tower was tilted thirty degrees toward the sea.
It was ten times more exaggerated than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
It didn't even collapse. The quality of the buildings in the other world was really good!
Danny could only sigh in amazement.
Like the Tower of Babel and Valleglia Avenue, the Holy Church's Black Tower was also a one-piece structure. It was as if cement had been poured directly into a mold.
The thick walls of the tower gave people a strong sense of security.
"Heavens, with such a tilt, there's not a single crack on the wall. How did you do it?" Barristan, who had been silent all this time, was shocked.
"I wonder if the high priestess can teach me the building techniques of Valleglia?" Danny looked at Jenny with a yearning look.
"I don't know how to." The high priestess shook her head.
The blond old man beside her explained, "Just like the forging method of Valleglia's steel, the enchantment technique of the Undying Stone is also closely guarded in the clan's treasury."
"But I remember that the Targaryens have the technique of forging lesser Undying Stones. Dragonstone Island is strong enough." The old priestess looked at Danny in confusion.
"Undying Stone, Dragonstone Island …" Danny thought for a moment and shook her head. "It's been lost for hundreds of years!"
"Splash — Whoosh whoosh whoosh —"
The dark red seawater below the cliff rose into a ten-meter-tall wave. The boiling water with white smoke washed the Tilting Tower wet.
It was as if the lid of a steam boiler was suddenly lifted. A visible white wave of air blew Dani's silver hair all over the sky.
"Knight, are you okay?" Danny looked at the white knight beside her worriedly.
The seawater was boiling, and the water vapor coming at them was estimated to be forty to fifty degrees Celsius. An ordinary person would not be able to withstand it.
Well, Barristan was the only 'ordinary person' here. Everyone in Valleglia had the talent of being able to withstand high temperatures.
"Bam bam bam …" The old knight patted the crystal lens in the eyehole of his helmet and said loudly, "Other than the water vapor blurring my vision, everything else is fine."
"Let's go in." Jenny said.
Danny looked at the red sky and smiled bitterly. "Do you have night here? It seems like the sun is setting. "
Looking up, they could not see the stars, the sun, and the moon. There was a layer of gloomy dark red light in the sky, which looked like a large piece of blood clot. It was like a thick layer of blood-stained cotton was pressed on the surface of the sea, pressing on everyone's heart.
Looking down, they could see a bright red flickering in the depths of the dark sea. It was like a light bulb was lit in the water. The surface of the water was bubbling, bringing with it a pungent sulfuric smell from hell.
A string of small flames rose from the charred reef in the water, but were immediately extinguished by the incoming tide. As the tide receded, sizzling sounds came from the reef, and white smoke rose into the air. With a sizzling sound, the dim red flame once again appeared on the reef, dancing in a flirtatious manner.
F * ck!
There's an active volcano below!
Dani's heart was pounding in her chest with fright.
"There's a volcano under the sea!" She shouted to Jenny.
Jenny looked down at the sea and said calmly, "Yes."
"It's an active volcano. It's right beside us, below the Holy Church!"
Danny's voice was a little distorted. Her face must have been distorted too.
"Yes."
Jenny's expression was still calm. The old priestesses behind her also had an expression that said, "Why are you making such a fuss?"
"Aren't you afraid? If the volcano erupts, Orloss will be finished. "Danny shouted in a low voice.
"Valleglia is afraid of volcanoes? Haha … "
Hearing the arrogance and contempt in Jenny's voice, Danny said indignantly, "Wasn't Valleglia destroyed by a volcanic eruption?"
Jenny stopped, turned around, and looked at Danny seriously. "Do you really think so? We've controlled the Fourteen Fire Peaks and the hundreds of volcanoes nearby for six thousand years. Even small accidents rarely happen because every inch of land under the volcanoes is under the surveillance of the Wizard Council. "
"You mean there's a mastermind behind the Great Calamity?" Danny was shocked.
"I don't know."
"Even so, you don't have the ability to control volcanoes like the great Wizard of Valleglia, right?"
"You'll understand in a moment." Jenny smiled mysteriously and pushed open the three-meter-tall white wooden door.
Barristan touched the wooden door and exclaimed in shock, "Weirwood?!"
The priestess nodded and said, "It's said that weirwood contains the power of the old gods and is one of the best magical materials. It's also often used to make furniture and can last for ten thousand years."
"There's weirwood in Ursos too?" Danny asked curiously.
"It should be extinct by now, but … before we humans appeared, the Children of the Forest and the Giants had already existed for several million years. Perhaps they once lived on this continent as well. Perhaps back then, the entire world was filled with weirwood."
"Creak …"
The heavy weirwood door opened, and the bright black light made Danny squint slightly.
A long, twisted obsidian candle was placed in the middle of the stone hall. A blinding black flame burned at the top of the candle.
The black light could not dispel the darkness in the room, but it strangely allowed everyone to see everything around them clearly. It was a gray vision.
"A glass candle!" Barristan exclaimed. "It's a hundred times bigger than the one in Queers."
The male wizard, Urazon, could also light a glass candle. It was as dazzling as the reflection of snow under the sun, but it was only the size of an egg yolk.
The glass candle in the hall of the Orloss Holy Church was like a bonfire.
Danny looked at the exquisite carvings on the walls and pillars. They were all scenes of the Dragon King of Valleglia conquering the world.
She could clearly see the flag of the Harpy and the warriors with spiked helmets wielding spears in five of the carvings. Obviously, these were the five Wars of Guise.
She looked back at the glass candle and asked curiously, "Why is the black flame not blocking our vision?"
"What color do you think the sun is?" the priestess asked.
"Colorless?" Danny asked.
Jenny glanced at the "stupid mortal" proudly and chuckled. "Haha, you can try it with a prism under the sun."
It was not easy. The Valleglia people's knowledge of the world was far beyond the scientific level of this era.
"I'll try," Danny said with a straight face.
Barristan was on high alert and looked around carefully. Suddenly, he looked down and said in horror, "We don't have a shadow!"
Danny looked down. Sure enough, the joints of the blue marble floor were clearly visible, but there was no shadow.
"It should be the effect of the glass candle." She looked at Jenny.
"Shadows are ominous things," the priestess said solemnly.
"Lach —"
The four old priests quickly interrupted Danny. "Holy land, don't say that name!"
Danny nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Where is the statue of His Majesty Bellerion?"
