In Flooded Town, seventy to eighty small wooden boats gathered at the Seabird Pier at the corner of the canal.
In the dark moonless night, a group of fishermen hung fishing lanterns from the poles at the bow of the boats.
In the vast night, the lanterns glowed faintly like fireflies.
The cold wind of early winter blew, creating layers of waves on the surface of the river. The faint light from the lanterns spread out on the surface of the water, as if countless stars were reflected on it.
"… John, Jack, Ross, Brusco …"
On the pier, a loud tax official stood on a stool and read out a series of names loudly.
Most of the time, every time a name was read, someone below would raise their hand in response.
If the person did not arrive, the tax official would also use a pen to mark the name on the register.
Finally, the loud man waved a stack of parchment papers in his hand and shouted at the brightly lit river, "You are all registered fishermen. Go to Purple Harbor immediately and bring all your fishing nets!"
"Syndicate, what are we going to Purple Harbor for? Tell us clearly!" Brusco stood at the bow of the boat and shouted.
"Yes, yes! If you don't say anything, what are we going to do there? We don't know at all. "The fishermen who were called out all agreed.
These fishermen, like Brusco, lived in Flooded Town and made a living by catching fish in the canal.
"Sigh, you saw it earlier, right? Two Devil Dragons dived into the water and burned all fifteen Purple Sail ships in the canal. Just the number of casualties is over five hundred. "The loud Syndicate sighed.
"Then why did the Sea King violate the sacred oath? In the next few thousand years, Brother Felic, the Sea King will be as famous as the Rat Chef. Even I feel embarrassed for that old man. "Some fishermen were very dissatisfied and actually called the Sea King 'old man'.
"How can a small fisherman like Ross interfere in the government's affairs?" Syndicate reprimanded angrily.
"All mortals will die. I'm not even afraid of death. What can the government do to me!" A small old man with disheveled hair in ragged hemp clothes said stiffly with his neck straightened.
Hearing that "all mortals will die", the angry tax official who was about to teach the unruly commoner a lesson immediately shrank back.
— F * ck, that old bastard Ross is actually related to the Black White Academy. I can't afford to offend him. I have to remember this in the future.
With that thought in mind, Syndicate raised his voice and spoke in a loud yet gentle tone, "The Mystic Dragon is burning the Purple Harbor. He has already burned seventy to eighty ships. Other than the warships, there are also large ships. Many of the ships were filled with goods. It was too tragic.
No matter what the Sea King did, we can discuss it tomorrow. The most important thing now is to stop the Mystic Dragon and help Braavos reduce their losses. "
Uh, it's just like in the early years of the Qing Dynasty, if you shout in front of the Jianghu people, "Father of Heaven and Mother of Earth, fight the Qing and restore the Ming", everyone will know that you're a member of the Heaven and Earth Association.
If you bare your forehead, put your palms together, and say "Amitabha," your neighbors will think you're a monk. If you shout "Oh my God," or "Jesus," and then cross your chest, everyone will think you're a Christian.
"All mortals have to die" had a similar effect. At the very least, this person believed in the God of Thousand Faces and had dealt with the priests of the Black and White House.
As for Purple Harbor …
There were three major docks in Braavos: the Square Dock, the Purple Harbor, and the Old Clothier's Dock.
The Square Dock was a customs dock located behind the Munitions Factory. All the ships entering and leaving Braavos had to dock there for the Sea King's customs officers to board and inspect the cargo.
The Old Clothier's Dock was in the southwest of the city. It was simple, crude, dirty, and messy. It was a dock specially for foreign merchants.
The Purple Harbor was located in the north of Braavos, under the dome of the Sea King's Palace. Only the natives of Braavos could use it.
"The Mystic Dragon went to the Purple Harbor?" The fishermen were shocked at first, but then they felt that it was only natural.
The Mystic Dragon had said before that he would transform into the Wings of Death and bring a catastrophe to Braavos.
The Flooded Town was definitely not as valuable as the Purple Harbor.
"The Purple Harbor has been set ablaze by the Mystic Flame. The sea is burning. The Mystic Dragon is very vicious. He specifically targeted large ships and warships. Ships with a capacity of more than 800 tons, the invincible Purple Sail Fleet, are almost completely destroyed. "
As Syndicate spoke, his voice choked and tears flowed down his cheeks.
Hearing that the Purple Harbor had suffered such a huge loss, the fishermen who were originally dissatisfied with the Sea King's betrayal of his oath fell silent with worry.
No matter how shameless the Sea King and his family were, they were still their king and country. No matter how reasonable the Dragon Queen and the Mystic Dragon were, the target of their revenge was still their own family.
Roth rubbed his messy white hair and sighed helplessly. He asked, "What's the use of fishing nets?"
"You can cast layers of fishing nets near the dock or warships to stop the Mystic Dragon from approaching," Syndicate quickly said.
"That can't be, right? The Mystic Dragon is ferocious. It can spit fire and dive. Our fishing nets are not prepared to catch large sea fish. If they can't even catch whales, how can they stop the Mystic Dragon that is ten times stronger than whales? "Brusk doubted.
"Of course they can't stop it. But if there are enough of them, they can wrap around its wings, neck, and legs, at least for a moment. Then, while the Mystic Dragon is struggling, our warships will approach and kill it with the Dragon Slayer Crossbow, "Syndicate said.
Soon, hundreds of fishing boats sailed out of the river and along the bay, heading towards the Sea King's Palace in the north.
Well, except for the Flooded Town, fishermen from more than a dozen islands nearby had all come.
In the eyes of the White Dragon, hundreds of boats and hundreds of fishing lights were like a group of wishing boats, slowly drifting towards the Purple Harbor.
Yes, Whitey was here too.
Dragonstone Island was less than 1500 kilometers away from Braavos, a four to five hour flight.
Blackie was the only Megalosaurus that had entered Braavos from the "main gate".
The ring-shaped mountain range could stop ships and waves, but it could not stop the Megalosaurus.
Whitey did not take the route of the Titan. He quietly entered Braavos from an altitude of more than 10,000 meters. After dark, he quietly landed in the sea west of the Flooded Town.
The lower city of the Flooded Town was submerged by the sea. Only the half-sunken tower and the top of the dome were above the water. Whitey hid near the buildings that were above the water.
After Blackie sent Geralt to the Green Eel Inn, he also lurked there.
When Copernicus was killing the Sea King, Whitey sneaked to the Green Eel Inn's garbage channel that was connected to the bottom of the river.
Danny was just a spiritual projection, and her real body was not there at all.
The main purpose of the Megalosaurus was to save Geralt. As for the dozen or so assassins downstairs …
They were just handymen and knew nothing. Geralt did not tell them his real identity when he hired them.
The secret passage of the slide was not complicated. The garbage channel was ready-made. It was connected from the movable floor to the copper pipe that led to the garbage entrance on the second floor.
Geralt Dane could build it himself, and the craftsmen did not know about it.
As soon as he fell into the water, Whitey found him. Then the White Dragon carried the reserve White Knight and quickly dived upstream of the canal. After leaving the warships, it flew into the sky and hovered as a reconnaissance aircraft.
With the help of the double Dragon Spirit, although Blackie was at the bottom of the river, he knew the situation above the river like the back of his hand. He accurately located each warship and began to kill.
The Flooded Town was not far from the Purple Harbor. After leaving the canal, they would reach the periphery of the harbor three or four kilometers north.
The fishermen did not find the Mystic Dragon before, and did not know that the Mystic Dragon was wreaking havoc in the Purple Harbor. The main reason was that they were afraid of being affected by the Mystic Dragon's anger. Like Brusco, they hid in the small canal in the city. Their vision was blocked by the island and the tall tower.
In fact, when the boat sailed out of the harbor and entered the bay, they could vaguely see the fire in the northeast.
The Purple Harbor, which was once clean and tidy with orderly rows of ships, seemed to be being dragged into a fiery hell by the Mystic Dragon.
The fire soared into the sky, thick smoke filled the air, and the air was filled with a choking smell. The fire spread for four or five kilometers, and the semi-arc wharf below the Sea King Palace was all set ablaze.
Passing hundreds of broken ship shells that floated on the river like dead leaves, the fishing boat gradually approached the wharf.
Kitty even saw countless crew members and merchants struggling on the deck and on the wharf. They cried inhumanly, cried for help, and cursed in despair.
They cursed the Mystic Dragon, the Dragon Queen, and the Sea King and the Council that caused them to suffer an unexpected disaster.
Uh, although the Mystic Dragon came and went freely in the Deepwater Harbor and the dragon flames were not extinguished, the chatter in his mouth did not stop.
Every time he continued to spit fire for more than a minute and set a large number of ships on fire, he would hide at a safe distance and stick his neck out to take a few breaths of fresh air. At the same time, he would roar a few times with a thunderous voice.
He recounted the agreement and oath between the people of Braavos and the dragon lady, as well as the betrayal of the oath by the Braavos Purple Shirt Army, the Council, and the Sea King Palace (the Sea King Palace represented the government of Braavos), as well as the violation of the rights of the guests. Then he announced his identity — the Wings of Death, and the meaning of the Wings of Death.
"Awoo — I am the Wings of Death. The world trembles because of my torture, and the sinful Sea King Palace collapses in my anger!
In the end, the Braavos that betrayed the oath will be destroyed.
In my shadow, everything will turn to ashes! In my demon flames, the impurities will be cleansed! "
As a matter of fact, when Brusco's fishing boat rushed over, he just happened to see the Mystic Dragon (Dan) (Ni) showing off.
"Gods, the Wings of Death is too scary. The Purple Harbor is finished. We can't save it." The cat was carrying a bundle of fishing nets, her gray eyes full of fear.
In view of the possibility of not returning from this trip, Brusco left his son and daughter in Flooded Town and let the cat he hired die with him.
Brusco frowned as he observed the situation at the harbor. The fire was indeed terrifying, but the harbor had originally been designed to prevent the fire from spreading.
Otherwise, if one of the wooden sailboats caught fire, wouldn't it ignite the nearby ships and burn the camp for eight hundred miles?
He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We can still save it. There are seven to eight hundred ships in the Purple Harbor. The fire looks scary now, but in fact, only a hundred ships on the periphery are burning. If we're lucky, maybe half of them can be saved … "
It had to be said that the fishing net really stopped the Megalosaurus.
When Blackie spat fire to burn the ship, it had to swim in a backstroke position, relying on its tail to swim quickly to the bottom of the ship. During this time, it retracted its wings to its left and right ribs to maintain balance and spit out dragon flames from its mouth.
In other words, it couldn't dive too deep. Otherwise, the dragon flames would lose their lethality and wouldn't be able to burn through the thick and sturdy bottom of the ship.
Therefore, layers of fishing nets were placed around the ship to entangle its body.
If Blackie had Smaug's physique and had a few hundred tons of strength, it could even smash through steel and iron pillars that were as thick as a person's arms. It could also withstand the toppling of mountains. The fishing nets were just willow catkins that it encountered when running by the river. They would confuse its eyes, but they couldn't stop its pace.
Unfortunately, Blackie's current weight was only half a ton. It couldn't break free from the layers of fishing nets.
After burning seventeen or eighteen small fishing boats and having half of its body caught in the fishing nets, Blackie dived into the deep sea. After reaching a safe distance, it leaped into the air.
"Ignorant ants, you don't know who you've angered!"
After saying this, it ran away.
