"What kind of curse?" Danny was even more curious.
"I don't know." You Lun shook his head and said with a face full of fear, "We came ashore at Triya, at the northern end of the Smoke Sea. There were rumors that even after the Great Calamity, there were still people living in Triya, but it was all nonsense.
The sky there was dark red like a furnace, the ground was as hot as the iron plate on the furnace, and the well water was bubbling with white steam.
It has been four hundred years, and the fire has not been extinguished. If there was really life there, it would not be humans, but demons! "
"The so-called curse, could it be a fever?" Chora asked while stroking his chin.
"No, it is definitely not a fever. Although everyone has symptoms of dehydration, we do not lack water and are not afraid of the heat. The other two pirates came from the Summer Islands. Do you think they are not as resistant to the heat as I am?" You Lun retorted.
"How did they die?" Danny asked.
"Four limbs curled up into a ball, hands spread out like claws, skin all over with purple-black pustules as dense as pomegranate seeds.
In less than half a day after stepping foot on Triya, hundreds of people turned into that horrible state. How could it be a fever? "
When You Lun said this, his single eye flashed with unconcealable fear.
Danny's heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but look at Chora. The knight happened to look over as well, and when they looked at each other, they knew that the other was thinking the same thing.
The corpse of Valleglia's Dragon King that was found at the southern end of the Red Wasteland was also curled up with purple-black skin. Dense holes were densely packed on the skin, and the muscles all over the body had turned into water and dried up.
There was an eighty percent chance that there was a curse!
Who knew if the dragon could withstand it … Oh, the dragon corpse that was even bigger than Bellerion was now buried in the sand!
"Did you find any city ruins?" Danny asked again.
"Triya was the richest city other than Valleglia, and most of the houses were covered in thick volcanic ash. How could I have the strength to excavate by myself? Fortunately, the City Lord's Mansion is a tall castle. The volcanic ash piled up into a small slope below the castle. After climbing up, I directly reached the top. "
At this point, You Lun smiled proudly. "Ha, the richest person in Triya is undoubtedly the city lord. That's the noble Dragon King!"
"Did you get any secret techniques?" Danny didn't take the initiative to ask him how many treasures he had obtained.
You Lun's blue eyes darkened for a moment, but before anyone noticed, they returned to their "gentle smile".
"No secret technique." He shook his head and explained, "Even though the entire land of Long Summer belongs to the Valleglia Empire, only Valleglia City, which is the capital, is the core of Valleglia.
The rest of the land could only be considered as Dragon King's colonies, where one or a few Valleglia nobles ruled over the other races in the city-state.
Just like today's Volantis, only the ruling class is truly Valleglia, and they aren't considered great nobles. Look, they don't even have dragons. "
At this point, he glanced at Danny. "The Dragon King is in Valleglia, and most of the secret techniques and treasures are also in Valleglia. Even the Targaryen, after leaving Valleglia, even the secret technique to forge Valleglia's steel was lost. Or perhaps, the ruler at that time didn't allow your ancestors to take the secret technique away? "
Danny could tell that You Lun was the same as her, yearning for Valleglia's witchcraft and magical technology.
You Lun looked around and asked, "Your Majesty, where are your dragons? Where did they come from? "
Danny thought that this wasn't a secret, so she told him about her marriage to Khal, Illyrio's gift of dragon eggs, Viserys' death, and Drogo and Legg's deaths. Her voice was calm, as if she was telling someone else's story.
And it was indeed someone else's story.
But in the ears of others, these calm words sounded as if her heart was already riddled with holes, and there was no greater sorrow than the death of her heart.
.....
"Your Majesty, you …" You Lun's eyes were brimming with tears, as if he could empathize with her.
This guy has good acting skills!
Danny didn't believe that this cold-blooded pirate could be so emotional.
"It's alright!" She waved her hand and sighed. "Fate took away three of my loved ones — Viserys, Drogo, and Legg — from me, and brought me three children. A Shadow Binder from Asha told me that only a life could be exchanged for a life, and that the three loved ones were the price I had to pay for hatching a dragon. "
So that's how you hatch a dragon?
A glint flashed across You Lun's eyes as he said, "Your Majesty, perhaps it's the will of the gods that I was lucky enough to survive and dig up so many treasures in Valleglia. Finally, just as you arrived in these waters, I happened to leave the Wall of Storm and meet you under the one in ten million chance. This is also fate. Fate has destined me to bring you enough wealth to restore your country."
"What did you say?" Danny's mouth was agape as she asked in disbelief.
"I want to offer all the wealth on the Serenity to you. I'm willing to serve Her Majesty the Queen and take back the throne that belongs to you from the hands of those traitors."
You Lun's righteousness was awe-inspiring. At this moment, he wasn't alone. Countless people with lofty ideals in China's thousands of years of history were with him.
But the problem was that in the Westeros, whose history was several times longer than China's, there had never been a single person who would destroy his or her family.
"Are you sure?" Chora also looked at Crow's Eyes with suspicion.
You Lun smiled faintly and said to the black servant behind him, "Tell them to pull the boat over."
The servant didn't say a word as he climbed down the spiral ladder from the side of the boat and returned to the small boat, where he rowed toward the Serenity 300 meters away.
Chora and Whitebeard didn't stop him during this process because Crow's Eyes had no intention of leaving at all. He remained surrounded by the crowd.
If the Serenity made the slightest move, Crow's Eyes' life would be in danger.
Could it be that this guy has been seduced by my beauty?
Or could it be that I've inadvertently revealed an extraordinary quality that I don't even know about? My inner beauty?
Danny thought shamelessly.
She wasn't the only one who was puzzled. The experienced Whitebeard also felt that the situation was gradually spiraling out of control. His decades of experience as a bodyguard made him subconsciously take half a step forward, faintly protecting Danny within the defensive range of his crutch.
But after the red-hulled boat approached and set up the gangplank, nothing unusual happened. A group of bare-chested, bald sailors carrying large boxes walked over from the opposite boat.
The heavy boxes made the gangplank creak, and with every step, the thick gangplank would bend at an astonishing angle.
"Dong!" The first sailor silently placed the box on the deck of the Serenity. The red sandalwood box, which was even bigger than the largest suitcase, was opened, and the light of the jewels and gold shone brightly. The deck was filled with gasps of surprise.
"Dong!" The second box was filled with Valleglia's gold coins.
"Dong!" The third box was filled with shining purple pearls.
.....
Throughout the entire process, there was only the heavy sound of the boxes being placed on the deck, the gasps of surprise after the boxes were opened, and the sound of saliva being swallowed could be heard.
Danny was surprised to see that the sailors from the Serenity were very "quiet". They didn't say a word and didn't react to the gasps and discussions of the crowd.
When the 24th sailor opened the 24th box, Danny said to the bald man, "There's no need to open the box."
But there was no response. It was as if the man didn't hear her and continued to open the box. It was a box of exquisite silk from the Jade Sea. It must have been obtained by You Lun when he robbed the merchant ship, and not by Valleglia.
"What's wrong with them?" Whitebeard also sensed the abnormality and stepped forward cautiously.
You Lun was stunned and didn't answer immediately. Instead, he smiled strangely and looked around. "I'm the captain of the Serenity. As fellow Westeros, don't you know why it's called the Serenity?"
"You cut off the sailors' tongues?!" Jorah looked away from the 24 boxes of treasure and looked at the one-eyed man in disgust.
"Bada!" Crow's Eye smiled and raised his right hand. "That's right. I like silence, and I don't like my subordinates talking too much. So if you want to board my Serenity, you have to cut off your tongues first."
"That's not right." Danny frowned. "They're not only mute, they're also deaf."
"That's right." Crow Eye smiled strangely and took a step back to put some distance between him and Chora. "Your Majesty, you have keen insight. Then, can you guess why I filled their ears with golden liquid?"
"Woo —"
All of a sudden, the low and desolate sound of the horn was like a thick and heavy dark cloud that instantly covered the three ships nearby. In an instant, the people on the deck felt as if there were thousands of undead spirits that had died unjustly beside their ears. They screamed, cursed, and cried … It was as if every inch of their skin was being pulled by the undead spirits, and they couldn't move at all.
Jorah and Whitebeard had strong willpower and were better than the others. They swayed in front of Danny as if they were drunk, but this was the limit of what they could do.
At that moment, their faces were distorted, as if there was a scorching flame burning in their bones. The scorching temperature spread from the inside out, roasting their bones, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and hair.
Every cell in their body was burning in the dragon's flame.
Danny felt the same, but she was so comfortable in the flame that she wanted to moan. This was the peak of male and female lust.
At this moment, You Lun quickly stepped forward, leaned forward, and used his left elbow to knock over Whitebeard who was trembling as he raised his cane. His right hand was like a phantom, swiftly snatching the iron sword from Jorah's hand.
Then, Danny felt a chill on her neck, and she woke up from the aftertaste: She was in You Lun's embrace, and a cold, wide sword was placed on her slender neck.
She was being held hostage.
"Hehe, it's easier than I thought." You Lun giggled as he licked Danny's ear with his long tongue, and murmured intoxicatedly, "This is the taste of a queen? It's wonderful, what a pity, Danny Liz, my baby, my little queen, I'm a little reluctant to kill you! "
"You —"
"Ssss — Gah —"
Before Danny could reply, she was shocked to see the White Dragon and Green Dragon that were hiding behind the centaurs' bronze shields charging out crazily. They even opened their mouths and spat out scarlet dragon's flame at the centaurs who were swaying drunkenly.
And her Blackie fell headfirst from the top of the main mast.
She immediately entered the Dragon Spirit.
It was as if she had entered a sea that was being ravaged by a level 12 typhoon. This place used to be so peaceful, like a wanderer in her mother's embrace, and could easily merge with her.
But now …
