Chapter 34 Teaching Dragons
"Khaleesi, something's up!"
In the evening, the furnace scorching the earth rolled below the horizon. The horsemen crawled out of their sleeping bags, ate some dried meat strips with mare's milk, and started digging again.
First, they had to clean up the ashes left by the burning of the ancient dragon king's body. At first, it was nothing. Whether it was the body of a demon or the cursed Valyrian dragon king, they were all turned into charred bones under the flames.
Even if there was the virus that Dany was worried about, it was probably roasted to death by the high temperature.
After jumping into the pit, the horsemen saw that there was no difference from the remains of Drogo's cremation, so they became bolder and directly used their hands to dig the ashes.
After a while, a horseman raised his arm with black carbon ash, and held a palm-sized black iron plate in both hands, and shouted to Dany: "Khaleesi, I found a piece of iron. I guess it's a relic left by the dragon king."
Jorah took it first and washed off the stains on it with sand, and carefully examined it before handing it to Dany. "This is Valyrian steel, with a dragon-shaped family emblem and ancient Valyrian runes.
Our previous guess should be correct. This iron plate should be similar to an identity certificate, just like the hand-shaped brooch of the King's Hand."
The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Westeros is called the King's Hand. The King's Hand can design his own Prime Minister's badge, which can be a brooch, a cloak pin, or a necklace hanging on the chest. However, there will always be a small metal palm on the badge.
The iron plate was slightly heavy in the hand, barely covering Dany's small hand, which reminded her of the 6.5-inch Huawei mobile phone she just bought. It is about the same thickness and weight, but the area is only one-third of the mobile phone.
Valyrian steel is essentially a kind of steel. If it is taken to the laboratory for elemental analysis, it will be found that it is no different from ordinary steel. But during its forging process, the unique magic of Valyrian civilization was added, and it has the characteristics of being almost indestructible.
By the way, weapons forged from Valyrian steel also have powerful magic-breaking special effects, such as killing white walkers.
Ignoring the thick material of more than half a pound, the pictures and texts engraved on the iron plate are also very beautiful.
On the front was a giant dragon with wings ready to fly, holding a large sword in its claws. It was very delicate and vivid. One could feel the majesty of the dragon's face and distinguish the gems on the cross guard of the sword.
There was a circle of runes around the dragon. Dany knew the most authentic Valyrian language, but she couldn't read a single rune.
Dany couldn't understand the other side of the iron plate either. A mountain was carved on it with a rough technique different from the front.
Gently touching the mountain pattern, one could feel the obvious convex and concave patterns.
There seemed to be a wisp of smoke on the top of the mountain. The carving was too rough, and Dany was not sure whether it was black smoke or a big tree.
"If the pattern on the front is really the family emblem, the dragon holding a sword may imply the dragon king himself. Everyone, pay attention. There may be a Valyrian steel two-handed sword buried in the sand." Dany was very excited and encouraged the people in the pit.
Facts proved that she was too optimistic.
The moon was at its zenith. The horsemen dug through the nearby sand and soil, digging four or five meters deep into the ground. Water seeped out, but they found nothing.
Jorah shook his head and sighed, "In that situation, it was rare for him to escape from Valyria. How could he have time to go home and get the family sword? If the sword held by the dragon is real, the weight and volume of the sword must be no less than the Stark family sword - Ice."
Then the ser described Ice to Dany: the body is wider than the palm, dark as black smoke, and a head taller than Dany when standing up.
Dany was embarrassed. Although she was only 14 years old, except for being a little stunted and having no breasts and buttocks, she was not short. Without measuring, she knew that she must be about 1.6 meters.
A head taller than her 1.6 meters, even if it was less than two meters, it should be more than 1.8 meters.
"It's so long, even if you can hold it, it's not convenient to swing it, right?" She asked curiously.
"Edard Stark uses that sword to chop off dozens of heads every year. After decades of training, he must have become very skilled." Jorah said with a tone full of resentment and sarcasm.
He almost became the experience value of the greatsword skill of "Druid".
In the end, Dany recognized Jorah's analysis. Generally speaking, a two-handed greatsword cannot be carried with you, and the dead dragon king has no chance to go back to get the sword.
Before midnight, the horsemen dug out more than 20 black dragon bones of varying lengths from the sand. The longest one was more than 10 meters long, and the shortest one was as high as Dany's waist when standing upright.
Many of them had obvious signs of breaking, which further proved that the dragon was seriously injured and unable to fly at that time, and fell from the sky to the ground.
"Forget it, let's dig up this much. It's enough for everyone in the whole Ka LS to have a dragon bone scimitar." Dany clapped her hands and stopped the horsemen in the pit.
"Your Highness, dragon bones can only be used as hilts, not forged into blades. It's a waste to use ordinary steel with dragon bones. In fact, except for Valyrian steel weapons, there is no need to use dragon bones for weapons made of other steels." Jorah reminded.
"You said dragon bones are valuable." Dany said.
"They are very valuable. There are only so many dragon bones in the world. But don't you need money?"
"Who would think they have too much money?" Dany waved her hand casually.
Before leaving, Dany had the dragon skull buried and piled up into a small hill.
This is her treasure, and she can't let others get it.
As long as the original dragon bones show traces, even a fool will know that she has found a dragon corpse in the red wasteland.
Now that it has been buried, even she herself is not sure whether she can find it next time.
In fact, there are too many similar low hills in this plain, and there are no special markers nearby. Piling stones and rubbing wooden poles can only be effective in the short term. After a long time, they will be buried and blown down by wind and sand.
"Big Black, do you remember?" She asked her black dragon.
Black dragons do have some intelligence, but they are too brain-dead compared to humans - they are really brain-dead, the kind that is underdeveloped.
However, dragons have a very strong sense of direction, and they often enter dragon dreams and dragon spirits, and merge with the black dragon's soul. Dany can clearly sense that dragons have more than just the five senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, and even more than six senses and seven senses.
Well, her dragons have not comprehended the microcosm.
Just like birds can use the earth's magnetic field to identify directions, dragons also have similar means.
For example, Dany tried to leave the dragon in Baiyun City, and then she rode a small silver horse in a random direction for a few kilometers, and finally found a bush to hide. As a result, the three dragons could find her accurately.
At that time, she deliberately cut off the dragon dream state.
Dany can receive the seventh and eighth senses from the black dragon, but she doesn't know what they are, and she can't analyze and use them.
After asking several times in a row, and leaving two kilometers away, letting Dahei fly back to try, Dany was sweating all over, and finally she was barely sure that he might really remember it.
"Hey, Ser Jorah, did the Targaryens of more than a hundred years ago have any way to help dragons increase their wisdom? My dragon is too stupid." In the early morning, on the way back to the horse team, Dany complained to him, "It doesn't matter if it's stupid, as long as it listens to me obediently.
But dragons are naturally unruly. Black dragons are okay, but I can hardly control green and white dragons. Communication is too difficult."
"I don't know. Bear Island is too far away from the center of power. I'm not familiar with the powerful people other than the Starks." The big bear shook his head.
"You are the legitimate son-in-law of the Hightower family, and the Hightower family controls the Citadel." Dany reminded him.
In any case, Jorah Mormont has been a guest of the Hightower family for several years. He should have been to the Citadel several times and at least met a few knowledgeable Citadel doctors.
Well, bachelors are also divided into levels, bachelor apprentices, bachelors, doctors, and grand bachelors. The bachelor's level is judged according to the depth and breadth of the knowledge they possess.
"At that time, I had no interest in bachelors and the Citadel. In fact, I have no interest in them now. "
There were no accidents along the way. Two days later, they returned to Baiyun City with the dragon bones.
In the days that followed, Dany carried the dragons out of the city to exercise in the cool mornings and evenings. During the scorching sun in the mornings and afternoons, she began to give cultural lessons to the three dragons.
Their bodies were getting bigger and bigger, from skinny "cats" to big "Pekingese", and now they were showing a tendency to become "dogs".
As they grew bigger, their daily food intake also increased. The sand lizards, scorpions, and sand snakes on the Red Sand Plains could no longer satisfy them.
So Dany used food to tempt them to learn.
This process was very difficult.
In math class, she demonstrated elementary school math operations to the black dragon in a dragon dream state; in Chinese class, she opened her mouth wide and made The sound, while telling its meaning in the state of soul connection.
There is also physical education class, Dany hits their scales with a wooden stick. At first, the scales of the baby dragon broke like hard eggshells, and the blood that touched the white smoke seeped out of the body surface, and burned out before it dripped.
Because the black dragon has a soul connection with her, she keeps comforting and encouraging the little dragon in the sea of spirituality. Although the black dragon roars angrily, it can barely cooperate with her.
The white dragon and the green dragon are not so honest.
One month after they were born, Dany completely lost the dragon spirit connection with the little white and the little green. The closer she is to the black dragon, the greater the gap between her and the other two dragons.
Not only can she not attend Chinese and math classes, but also physical education classes for physical training. Once Dany knocked on the back of little white and bled, and the little guy didn't care and faced her A streak of dragon fire sprayed out of her wrist.
The temperature of dragon fire was higher than the flame of burning firewood. For the first time, she was injured by the flame. A circle of cockroach-sized blisters appeared on the skin of her wrist. It was painful and itchy. It took four or five days to recover.
The only consolation was that there were no scars.
Maybe she could really draw strength from the flames, or maybe because of her increasingly close relationship with the black dragon's spirit, her injuries recovered faster and more completely than ordinary people.
For example, the scar on her stomach.
In order to prevent others from discovering her plan, Dany did not let her maid help her bathe for the next half month.
Well, she explained that water resources were scarce, and everyone would use fine sand to clean skin dirt in the future.
She also asked someone to prepare a sand bed covered with fine white sand.
Before going to bed every night, she took off all her clothes. Rubbing clothes on it once can clean the dust on the skin - the oil and old skin fragments are all burned in the fire.
But half a month later, Dany began to live the corrupt life of a "slave owner".
She was surprised to find that the scars on her belly became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared completely, and her skin returned to its previous tenderness and smoothness.
It seems that high temperature promotes blood circulation, and the cell activity is too high in the fire?
This is a scientific explanation.
A more magical way of saying it is that dragons and fire have the power to restore the body.
Just like more than a year ago, the original owner Dany had just married Drogo. She was weak and not used to life on horseback. She was exhausted every day and her inner thighs were rubbed bloody.
As a result, after a dragon dream, all the injuries disappeared in just one night, and her body was as strong as a native centaur girl.
