Chapter 147 The Blue-Gold Giant Shadow
Clay was unaware of the great changes in the northern border. He left this time without leaving a communication method like last time. Where is the communication?
It took two days for Clay to get close to the deserted Changjie Island in the dusky sunset. Under the strict order of the old man, the Mandalay family implemented the blockade of Changjie Island very thoroughly.
If it weren't for Clay himself, it would be impossible for this ship to cross the blockade and reach the shore of Changjie Island.
After getting off the ship, the ship left immediately according to Clay's order. At least until Clay came back, it was still inappropriate to let others know about the existence of Gelesos, as this would cause unnecessary trouble.
Clay walked around the shore and found no trace of Gelesos, but this is also normal. At this time, the giant dragon should not go out to hunt. The small cave at the beginning must not be able to accommodate the current dragon. Clay did not Don't know where it is.
Walking to the depths of the island, Clay's witcher senses allowed him to see a lot of suspicious marks on the ground, among other things, the huge paw prints, if there are no strange species on the island, then It could only have been left by Gelesos.
Clay squatted down and pushed aside the overturned turf. The paw prints left on the ground were quite large, almost as large as half of Clay's body. If this is inferred, Gelesos's current size may not be small .
After wandering around for a long time, Clay did not find the shadow of the dragon. Creatures such as dragons cannot be found by following the traces. If you find it and take off directly, the traces will become useless.
There was no other way, so Clay had no choice but to find a sheltered place, lit a bonfire, and made a simple grill himself to roast the food he brought.
Night had come, the sun rose over the Narrow Sea and set in the direction of Westeros, at least from where Clay was now.
But Clay didn't wait too long. When the last ray of the sun in the west was setting, the sound of majestic flapping wings sounded from behind Clay. Obviously, there was a big guy coming from there.
Turning around suddenly, I saw an extremely huge dark blue shadow passing over Clay's head in the sky, and the figure of the dragon reappeared in Clay's eyes after more than two months.
Clay really didn't expect that Gelesos would grow to such a large size. The old man's description to himself last time was obviously conservative. This guy has grown from the size of a big cat to the current wingspan of more than ten meters. of giants.
That is to say, there is magic in this world of ice and fire. Otherwise, if it is changed to another world, the cell division speed that is so outrageous that it doesn't talk about any basic laws has already been caught and studied.
Gelesos apparently also found the bonfire on the ground. It is the first time for the giant dragon who has ruled this place for so long to see humans in such an inland place. I just wanted to see which one was too long-lived. The guy came here, and then, it sensed the existence of the master.
Creatures like dragons have a very strong sense of dependence and trust on the people who raise them, especially people like Clay who have communicated with them magically.
Although it was only a little bit big when Clay sent it here, it still understood what its master meant, and hunted on this island by itself, and grilled fish in Bite Bay.
Its diet ranges from snakes, small lizards, to sheep, and various large land creatures. Up to its current position, it sees a column of water breathing from a whale on the sea surface. When it dives down, the scorching dragon flames will completely roast the back of the unlucky whale. .
Relying on its sharp teeth and sharp claws, if Gelesos is closer to the shore, it will flap its wings to drag the prey whale to the shore, and then slowly enjoy it.
If it is far away, anyway, even if the whale is dead, the body will not sink into the sea immediately. It will circle back and forth, spew out dragon flames to cook a little bit at a time, and finish off its own food bit by bit.
Although the other hunters in the sea were tense all over due to the bloody smell, none of them dared to come up to grab food from Gelesos.
Just kidding, in front of the ultimate predators, they are only worthy of some leftovers, although this time the treatment is better, and when they encounter fully cooked food, it can be regarded as a change for them...
Seeing Clay again, Gelesos let out a long hiss, the dragon wings vibrated, his vigorous body drew a circle in the sky, turned around and landed in front of Clay's bonfire.
Dazed by the wind and sand blown up by the dragon wings, Clay stretched out his hand to cover his eyes. He lost his vision and only felt a loud bang from the ground in front of him.
At the same time, a thought sounded in his heart, which probably meant, Master, come and see!
When the wind and sand dissipated, just as Clay lowered his arms, the huge faucet was placed directly in front of his eyes. I have to say that Gelesos's appearance is really good.
The dark blue scales have been fully grown, extending from the tip of the nose to the back, and a golden texture does not lose its look even in the night.
Clay felt obvious heat, partly from the high temperature in Gelesos' mouth, and partly from the super high body temperature of the dragon itself.
According to the records, when dragons are in winter, especially in cold nights, the heat all over their bodies will make them look as if their whole bodies are smoking, which can be regarded as a strange sight.
Looking at the stalwart creature in front of him, Clay's sense of pride welled up, did you see it clearly?Such a big dragon, so beautiful, mine!
The dragon sniffed the pancakes on the grill with the nose of the dragon, and the twitching air caused the bonfire to sway. Clay once again had the general meaning of Gelesos in his heart, but the meaning was not so friendly. up.
"Is this thing edible? It doesn't smell delicious..."
Regarding this, Clay could only roll his eyes. Although dragons and humans both eat cooked food, it is obvious that the giant dragon has narrowed the way when it comes to eating. It just has an extraordinary pleasure in eating cooked meat. As for Others are ignored.
"Okay, okay, you eat yours, I eat mine, we both don't care about each other."
Clay pushed Gelesos's big head away, and if he didn't speak again, Gelesos' thoughts were already on the question of which part of the whale is delicious to share with him.
One person and one dragon communicated in this way, Gelesos's huge body nestled down beside Clay, his slender neck rested on the ground, and the dragon's head rested in front of Clay's eyes.
Clay leaned on Gelesos' body and looked at the twinkling stars in the cloudless sky. He knew that tomorrow was the day he set off. Gelesos and himself were about to start another journey on the continent of Essos. journey.
He felt the temperature of the dragon's body, maybe it was because of his infusion of magic power. His dragon grew too fast. In his memory, Daenerys' dragon was probably a little bigger now, but it was completely the same as Geleso's. There is no way to compare with Si's size.
That's fine, dragons are a proud race, and only a stronger force can tame them. If Clay only brought a dragon that was slightly bigger than a war horse and could be ridden, it would have no deterrent effect.
Clay doesn't know where Daenerys is now. Due to the current situation in Westeros and his intervention, it has turned upside down, and he can no longer tell when things happened in Essos.
This is the only window period for him to go to Essos. Now, the attention of the entire Westeros is attracted by the offensive and defensive battles under the city of King's Landing. Living in White Harbor, he has the opportunity to leave Westeros for a while. After that, there is no such opportunity.
The palm of Gelesos's long neck intertwined with golden texture, the part where the bone and membrane are connected, gradually drooped following Clay's stroking, which indicated that the dragon is now in an extremely relaxed state.
Probably because he ate too much for dinner. Although Galesos was very excited to see Clay and rubbed his head against Clay's body for a while, it was still a little sleepy now.
The dragon's mouth opened, and it hiccupped first, and then yawned a very obvious dragon-specific yawn. Gelesos shrank his body and covered himself and Clay with the huge dragon wings. It's ready to sleep.
"What a lazy guy. It's a pity. After all, I still lack the complete means of taming dragons in the Valyrian Empire. Look at how you look now, and sleep when you are full."
Clay touched the long horns of Galesos. These are the two sharpest bones on the skull of the giant dragon. Depending on the species of dragon, there will be some small bony spurs of different lengths growing in turn.
The current Gelesos, in fact, has far more symbolic significance than its military significance on the battlefield. During Aegon’s conquest, the reason why the three dragons were invincible was because they were all adult dragons, whose size was similar to that of young dragons. Don't.
It is said that Aegon's mount, the famous Black Death of the Seven Kingdoms, Balerion, lived until the reign of the Arbiter Jaehaerys I. Finally, he could not resist the limit of his life span and died in the Dragon's Lair in King's Landing.
It has lived for more than 200 years. Dragons, magical creatures against common sense, as long as they have enough food and open space for growth, their growth will continue until the moment of death.
It can be said that when the Valyrian Empire still existed, there would definitely be a dragon bigger than the Black Death God Balerion in this world, not one, probably a group of dragons.
Maybe, in the eyes of the Valyrian dragon kings who mastered the core dragon training technology, a figure like the Black Death God Balerion is just a basic operation, and everything else may be considered stunted.
When it comes to the Valyrian Empire, this is another matter that makes Clay puzzled, because the disintegration of this huge empire is really a very uncommon sense thing.
If nothing else, let’s talk about survivors. Now everyone knows that there are only Targaryen left in the more than 50 dragon king families, and strictly speaking, they are not survivors, because after the collapse of the Valyrian Empire They had already moved away with their families before.
It is said that the Valyrian Freedom Fortress was built on fourteen fire peaks. When the end came, all the fire peaks erupted together. The once magnificent Freedom Fortress was reduced to dust, and the huge empire instantly became history.
It's all spread like this, as if this is the truth of history, but you can't stand to think about it, because once you think about it, you will find that it can't be explained in many places.
First of all, let's not talk about how the leader of the Targaryen family at that time foresees this catastrophe, just talk about the other unlucky more than 50 dragon king families, this is a dragon, not running on the ground, it is a dragon that can fly with just a flap of its wings. God's.
The volcano erupted at the same time, yes, it may be a little bigger, and the continent was shattered, but this kind of thing can be done overnight, it really treats the big plate as paper.
Even when the disaster happened, all the dragons were sleeping in their nests, so they wouldn't have no time to react. As long as they can fly to the sky, they will always run, right?
Clay didn't believe that the dragon kings of Valyria would do anything to survive and die with the empire, just look at how smooth the Targaryen family escaped.
Also, Valyrian Freedom Fortress conquered so many places at that time, and the border was far away from the capital. In this case, wouldn't there be dragons and dragon knights stationed abroad?
The current situation is that the volcano under the Valyrian Freehold erupted, and then, overnight, all the dragons and dragon knights, as well as most of the civilians were gone.
But judging from the degree of destruction, Clay felt that this was probably a blow to a thing called "Big Ivan" produced by Peak Maozi in the memory of his previous life, right?
No matter how you look at it, this is not something that can be explained by ordinary natural disasters and man-made disasters. It is extremely unbelievable that death has reached this level.
Clay believed that it was necessary for him to visit the ruins of the Valyrian Freedom Fortress. There were too many mysteries in it. He never believed that a volcanic eruption could turn a huge empire into such a state.
There are almost no records about the history of Valyria on the market now, only the corners of the school city, and there may be some remnants in the several large city-states of Essos.
These word-of-mouth statements are not very reliable. In Clay's view, this matter was done by the gods himself. It is probably the most nonsense, but it is also the most reliable explanation.
"I don't know what I'll meet again in Essos, what do you say, Galesos?"
Clay patted Gelesos on the head, but the only responses to him were the dragon's even breathing and relaxing grunts. Obviously, this giant dragon, which sleeps after eating, has completely fallen asleep.
Clay smiled. It seems that all the answers can only be found on the continent on the east coast of the Narrow Sea, whether it is his meeting with Daenerys, the last Targaryen, or the annihilation of the last Targaryen. The truth in history awaits him, Clay Mandalay.
Go to sleep, I will definitely have a good dream tonight. I heard that people with the blood of the Dragon King will dream of giant dragons. This is called a dragon dream. I wonder if I will dream of it tonight?
Clay thought, his eyes, looking at the sea of stars twinkling in the sky, gradually getting darker and darker.
At some point, he also fell asleep.
