"Red Devil Ship?"
Danny was amused by Xingis's words and asked, "Do you believe that devils will come to the human world to be pirates?"
"If it's not a devil, then it's even more terrifying!" The customs officer warned solemnly, "It's said that none of the targets targeted by the Red Devil Ship can escape capture. The Red Devil Ship is too fast, and no one survived. The devils on the Red Devil Ship are too vicious."
"Thank you for your warning." Danny stopped smiling and thanked him solemnly.
It was a matter of course for a devil to do the things of a devil. It was even more terrifying for a human to do all the things of a devil.
The customs officer looked around and saw the White Dragon and the Green Dragon on the observation deck above. He immediately stopped in his tracks. He peeked at the two dragons while trying to find something to say, "Of course, the New Guise Iron Guard Regiment is not afraid of pirates, but we also understand the principle of precaution.
Therefore, in the past half a year, the customs officers have been checking every ship that enters Xingis Bay. They are not checking the goods, but checking for hidden armed personnel. "
Seeing that Danny and the others did not respond, the guy's expression did not change. He continued, "By the way, other than pirates, you also have to be careful of sea monsters.
A few paddling boats that passed by the Summer Islands encountered a huge and terrifying sea monster north of the Snake Lizard Islands.
A 30-meter-long boat was directly dragged to the bottom of the sea. Only 13 of the 200 sailors were saved by the nearby boats.
At that time, blood dyed the sea red, and the red waves rolled violently. It was extremely terrifying. "
Dani's interest was piqued and she asked, "Really? I thought sea monsters were legends. "
"Hehe, seven or eight of those black skins were scared out of their wits. How can it be fake?" The brown-red Zanak smiled, revealing two rows of white teeth. "And compared to your dragon, what are sea monsters?"
Danny could not refute this. Sea monsters were very legendary, and the Megalosaurus was even more legendary than sea monsters.
Perhaps he had seen enough dragons, or perhaps he had a lot of work to do, Zanak left with the two soldiers after a few polite words.
Seeing the Xingis's boat sail to the ship behind, Danny turned around and asked Blackbeard Grolle, "Do you think that the sea monster attacking the ship is true?"
"Perhaps." The old sailor said worriedly, "Not only are there rumors of sea monsters in the depths of the Summer Sea, even the narrow sea ….
When the fleet set out for Queers, someone saw a sea monster on the Five Finger Peninsula. It used its crimson tentacles to attack an Iban whaling ship. The ship was 25 meters long and was eventually dragged into the deep sea.
That person's face was filled with fear as he told me that one of its tentacles was as thick as a bucket, as if it was dyed red with blood. It was almost like a demon's tentacle. "
A red octopus?
He wondered how it tasted.
Astan said, "In the legends of the Seven Kingdoms, some Megalosaurus can capture monsters from the sea as easily as an osprey catches fish from the river."
"That sea monster is just a giant octopus. Haven't we eaten grilled octopus before?" Danny said disapprovingly.
"No, it's not what you think." Chola interrupted. "The legends of sea monsters have been around since ancient times, but sea monsters attacking ships is almost unheard of."
The old sailor Blackbeard agreed. "Knight Mormont is right. I have lived on the sea for thirty to forty years, and I have only heard about sea monsters in the last six months."
Was the appearance of sea monsters also related to the magic tides?
If that was the case, then the sea monsters could be magical beasts, and not ordinary giant octopuses.
But the dragons had disappeared for more than a century, and the immortals had also been washed away by the river of time, leaving only decaying souls. How did those sea monsters survive the 'Age of Chaos'?
"How long can sea monsters live?" She asked.
"This …" They looked at each other, not expecting her to ask this question.
"No one has ever studied it." Whitebeard hesitated. "Although the Greyjoy family used a golden sea monster as their emblem, they did not seem to be able to summon sea monsters to fight like the legendary King Tiemin.
But the Setiga family of Crab Island … Count Adrian Setiga once boasted that his family had an ancestral horn that could awaken sea monsters. "
Setiga?
In his memory, Viserys had mentioned this family to Danny Rize. Twelve years before the Cataclysm in Valleglia, the virgin girl Danny of the Targaryen family predicted the destruction of Valleglia. At that time, the Targaryen family was not the only family that moved away from Valleglia, but also the Setiga and Valerian families.
The Targaryen family's fief was Dragonstone Island, Setiga was on Crab Island, and Valerian was on Tidehead Island. The three islands were very close to each other, and the furthest was only an hour or two by sea.
The Targaryens were only considered as small nobles in Valleglia, and Setiga and Valerian were not even Dragon King, so they did not have dragons.
Of course, they were nobles of Valleglia, and had the ability to communicate with and control dragons.
During the 'Dance of the Blood Dragon' more than a hundred years ago, many Valerian became dragon riders.
If the Targaryen family had a slight chance of winning, Setiga and Valerian would be their most loyal allies, but it was impossible for them to give up their entire family.
Viserys often hoped that the two families would help him restore his kingdom, but at the same time, he scolded them for being cruel and unscrupulous, forgetting the thousands of years of friendship.
Danny did not continue the topic on Setiga, and continued to ask, "How long can a dragon live?"
"It is said that it is determined by wisdom. Some legends say that wise old dragons lived for thousands of years," Jorah said, frowning. Chora thought for a moment and said with a frown, "But during the Targaryen Dynasty, the oldest Bellerion did not lack wisdom, and the royal family did not lack its food, but it only lived for two hundred years."
"Dragons not only need food, but they also desire freedom and the sky," Whitebeard said calmly.
"Freedom?" Danny turned to look at the old man, and asked doubtfully, "Did the former Targaryen lock up Bellerion?"
The old man sighed, his eyes blurred, and said, "The King's Landing is mainly made up of three hills."
"I know this," Danny said. "They are named after Aegon and his sister. The Red Castle where the king lives is on Aegon Hill, St. Belle's Cathedral is on Visania Hill, and Renise Hill has built a huge dragon's den."
She was surprised, and said, "Is the dragon's den too small, and it limits the Megalosaurus' movement?"
Whitebeard shook his head slowly and said, "The dragon's den is very big, and it can accommodate thirty knights riding side by side. There is a huge circular dome above, and it is at least 100 meters high. But a dragon is a dragon, and your ancestors forgot one thing, Valleglia does not have a dragon's den. "
No, Valleglia has a dragon's den, and they live together with Valleglia's Dragon King at the top of the Blackstone Tower, which also has a dome and walls.
Danny thought so in her heart, but did not interrupt the old man's narration.
"From then on, the dragons in the dragon's den were shorter and smaller, and finally …" The old man sighed. "The last dragon was only the size of a puppy."
"Damn it, if walls could limit size, then the peasants living in the thatched houses would all grow into dwarves, and the kings in the tall castles would all be as majestic as giants." Sir Jorah snorted and said with a sneer, "The truth is the opposite, the thatched houses often give birth to big people, but the castles are short people."
"Humans are humans, and dragons are dragons. Dragons should live in the sky, and humans can only live on the ground. I did not say this, but the scholars have seriously studied the bones of the Megalosaurus before coming to this conclusion, "Whitebeard said seriously.
"Hmph!" Sir Jorah had never liked the old man with the white beard, and now he snorted contemptuously and mocked, "You are just a little attendant, and you really think so highly of yourself. Since you know so much, can I trouble you to introduce us to the knowledge of dragons? "
"I was only lucky enough to see the skull of the Megalosaurus hanging on the wall of the throne room during the reign of King Aeris. Those bones confirmed some of the scholars' deductions, but I do not know anything more profound."
At this point, the old man turned to look at Danny and said gently, "Your Highness, if you want to know more about dragons, when you get to Pentos, you can borrow 'Dragons, Dragonworms, and Pterosaurs: The Unnatural History of the Dragon Race' from Governor Illyrio. It is a very valuable work, and it records the knowledge of dragons in detail."
Danny's interest was piqued, and she asked curiously, "The title of the book seems to imply that the Megalosaurus evolved from other animals, and not naturally …"
"Ah!" She suddenly covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Could it be that humans made the dragon-like creatures evolve into the Megalosaurus? Heavens, blood magic, the blood wizards of Valleglia! That book came from the ancient Free Fortress of Valleglia? "
Whitebeard's eyes widened. He was shocked that she could deduce so much from a name.
Looking at Danny seriously, he nodded and said, "Friar Bath recognized that dragons were magical creatures created by the blood wizards of Valleglia using pterosaurs."
"Friar?"
"Friar Bath was the Hand of the King two hundred years ago. He reigned for forty years and brought peace and prosperity to the Seven Kingdoms," Whitebeard explained.
"Uh, he was a prime minister. How did he study dragons and magic?" Danny was speechless.
Most importantly, it did not affect the main business, and the country was well managed …
"I know Friar Bath. I heard that he was born poor, the son of a blacksmith. Because his family could not support him, he was given to the church by his father." Chora understood at first, and then questioned, "Why have I never heard of him writing 'The Unnatural History of the Megalosaurus'?"
"Friar Bath was unusually smart since he was young. He was sent by the church to work in the royal library. There, he not only learned endless knowledge, but also met the 'King of Men', Jaehris the First, who loved to read."
He looked at Danny and added, "King of Men is the grandson of His Majesty Aegon."
After that, he said to Chora, "That book was not passed down. After Saint Baele ascended the throne, he ordered all of Friar Bath's works to be burned. Only a few handwritten copies were spread overseas, or collected by some nobles."
Danny knew about Saint Baele. There were many legends about him in the 'Tales of the Westeros' that Chora gave her. Later, she asked the knight about Saint Baele's deeds in detail.
Even if the Targaryen family had many weirdos, this was still the weirdest of weirdos.
