Chapter 283 Dragon Remains

“The corpses were carefully searched and burned together with fire.”

Rhaegar's face was calm, and he waved his sword to shake off the blood stains.

The mercenaries were quick with their hands and feet, and they stripped the corpses of several Shadowbinders cleanly, leaving no masks or black robes left.

Robert pulled the pile of dragon dung and said excitedly: "Sir, there are so many dragon eggs here!"

Rhaegar picked up a dusty dragon egg and examined it, but said regretfully: "This is a dead egg that has been piled up and turned into a fossil."

I reached out and knocked, but there was no clear and pleasant sound like normal dragon egg scales.

 Instead, there was a muffled sound like banging a stone.

Robert's face fell, and he kept moving his hands.

Broken pieces of dragon dung were scattered everywhere, and five inactive dragon egg fossils of different colors were unearthed.

Rhaegar looked at them one by one and compared them with the dragon eggs on Dragonstone.

 “You are quite clever.”

The team leader hesitated for a moment and said, "If I read it correctly, it should be the Resurrection Orchid, which can be sold for some money in Volantis."

I just don’t know if there is any difference between the dragon eggs of Baleris and the Targaryen family.

 Lega’s eyes brightened when he heard this, finally receiving good news.

 This flower has seven petals, the stamens are purple, and the stem is soft and wrapped in dark leaves.

Robert stepped forward to take a look and scratched his head: "Sir, this seems to be an ancient text from Asshai."

Rhaegar's heart tightened and he asked, "What's going on?"

Robert shook his head repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "One of my former captains was an Asshai, and I have seen some similar symbols on his ship."

 Old dragon dung is so strong that every dragon egg hidden in it leaves a hole.

Rhaegar read the few lines of tiny characters on the parchment twice and frowned: "This is not Common Language or Valyrian. I can't recognize it."

 “Sir, we found a flower!”

 A tattered and battered pile of dragon dung.

Light fragrance, elegant, and a refreshing feeling.

Rhaegar recognized it at a glance as an orchid of a species he had never seen before.

 The mercenary who handled the corpse hesitated to report.

 Same smell as the powder developed by Daniela.

Rhaegar chuckled, took the yellowed parchment and looked at it a few times.

 Dragon is the mainstay of Targaryen.

 A team leader held a faint blue withered flower in his hand.

Rhaegar did not hesitate too much and put away the orchid and parchment.

Looking at these dragon egg fossils, he was already sure that this ruin was one of the dragon lairs of the Beleris family.

 He found a total of six potholes of similar sizes, but only five dragon eggs were unearthed at his feet.

The Resurrection Orchid is a good thing. It can nourish the depleted mental power. It is a rare treasure for him and his family.

“You know him?” Rhaegar turned around in surprise, not realizing that this old sailor was quite knowledgeable.

Just as he was thinking about it, Robert suddenly exclaimed: "Sir, there is a vacancy here, and there is a dragon egg missing from the dragon dung!"

Rhaegar gave the order, put the five dragon egg fossils into the space bracelet, turned around and walked towards the mercenaries.

Walking to the pile of Shadowbinder's corpses, the mercenaries formed a circle and hesitantly burned the corpses with torches.

 Even if it is just a few dragon egg fossils, he will not allow them to be exported.

 “No, no, no, I don’t even know my native Valyrian.”

Robert said carefully: "Sir, there should be a dragon egg here."

Rhaegar was not lacking in caution. He thought of the killed Shadowbinder and questioned, "The Shadowbinder has accomplices."

 He knew several widely circulated scripts.

“Sir, how are you?” the team leader asked expectantly.

He carefully took the orchid and said with a smile: "Well done, these flowers will bring you wealth."

 “Orchid?”

 But not limited to oddly complex fonts on parchment.

Hearing that there was money to be taken, the team leader hurriedly took out a piece of parchment from the Shadowbinder's black robe and said excitedly: "Sir, look at the things on this paper. Is there any use for it?"

“Search carefully to see if there are any hidden dragon eggs.”

 Speaking, he lowered his head and sniffed the almost withered Resurrection Orchid.

　　“Forget it, let’s find someone to translate it when we get out.”

Robert groped for the dragon dung pile without any disdain and muttered: "One, two..."

　　After personally burning the corpses of several Shadowbinders to pay the price, and sending people to search the cave but finding nothing, Rhaegar took the people out.

After leaving the cave and walking by the dim river, Robert felt anxious: "Sir, where are we going?"

Just finished several shadowbinders who controlled the shadows, and also found the rumored dragon egg.

 Having a great impact on the old sailor’s cognition.

Rhaegar listened to the rushing flow of the underground river and said rationally: "The end of the downstream is the cave. Let's go upstream along the underground river."

 At the entrance to the ruins, there are the remains of Lannister soldiers and the fresh corpses of stone people...

 The dragon cave being explored is missing a newly unearthed dragon egg fossil.

 He had to suspect that besides the few dead Shadowbinders, there were other accomplices in the ruins.

Besides, he explored the ruins for some lost inheritance of House Belerys.

A few dragon egg fossils are not enough to eliminate the risks of exploring the Sea of ​​Smoke.

Walking all the way upstream, we soon passed the tunnel leading in and out of the ruins, and continued to explore the dim cave.



 The underground river flows swiftly. As the altitude gradually increases, the water flow becomes more and more rapid.

About an hour later, the gray rock beneath my feet disappeared and was replaced by pieces of broken stone slabs.

The firelight illuminated the dim cave, and what was visible was an open space that was squeezed and deformed. The four walls were covered with cracked stone slabs.

 The sudden changes are eye-catching, and at the same time arouse strong vigilance.

Lei Jia's mind was spinning, and he murmured: "The lower reaches are the dragon pits of the dragon lair, and the upper reaches should be the main body of the dragon lair." Considering the structure of the dragon lair and the dragon lair, he speculated that this dragon lair was similar before it was destroyed. architecture.

According to Rhaegar's observation, this dragon's lair is most likely one of the many dragon lairs of the Beleris family.

Although most areas collapsed into ruins, the overall area can be simulated from the piles of rubble outside.

 Estimated to be about the same size as the dragon's lair in King's Landing.

 After analyzing this, Rega's eyes were a little restrained.

 In an unimportant dragon's lair, it is difficult for important things to appear.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　—

The sound of falling water suddenly sounded, and the undercurrent stirred up a splash of water.

Rhaegar cast his gaze away and whispered: "Alert!"

 “Hiss…”

Crazy roars sounded, and a figure jumped out of the dark river and fluttered towards the shore.

 “It’s the stone people, prepare to meet the enemy!”

Rhaegar saw clearly the ferocious appearance of the figure and shouted quickly.

Plop-plop-plop…

At this moment, a series of sounds of falling water came from the underground river. I don’t know where there is a cave for stone people to sneak into the ruins.

The stone people had no obvious weaknesses. They used their hands and feet in the rapid underground river to crawl up the bank like beasts.

The ferocious eyes stared at the living person, and he rushed towards him with his teeth and claws.

 “A small team steps forward to block it, and retreat in rotation!”

Facing the increasing number of stone people, the mercenaries seemed a little panicked and formed a formation to deal with it under the command of the commander.

Ten people blocked the river bank and slashed hard with scimitars to prevent the stone people from getting ashore, and the escorting force retreated.

 “Hurry up and go, don’t be reluctant to fight!”

Rhaegar strode upstream surrounded by mercenaries.

 No one would want to fight with stone people who are unintelligent and full of infectious diseases.

 The cave paved with stone slabs is getting narrower and narrower, and you can clearly see the tragic shape of the space being crushed after being squeezed.

 After a while, two dark holes appeared in front of the underground river.

 “Sir, which way are we going?” the commander looked flustered and asked hurriedly.

Rhaegar's eyes widened, his breathing began to quicken, and he stared at the two holes without blinking.

Behind them, dozens of stone people kept chasing, roaring and pounced on the blocking mercenaries, scratching, biting and tearing irrationally.

 “Which hole to choose!” Rhaegar’s eyes were changing, and he urgently needed to make a decision.

Based on the rough structure of the dragon's cave, it is speculated that the two roads upstream are likely to lead to the top of the dragon's cave.

  That is, the pile of rocks outside the ruins.

Even so, the two roads should each represent a dragon lair area.

 Perhaps it is a space for dragons to move, or it may be an exit that has been buried long ago.

Without a sudden change, Rhaegar's eyes fell on the hole on the right side near the underground river.

There is a conspicuous large chip at the entrance of the hole, as if it was smashed by something.

Rhaegar also noticed that the edges of the gap were somewhat charred, as if they had been burned by fire.

 “Go this way!”

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Rhaegar pointed to the hole on the right, held a torch and rushed in.

 He guessed how the scorch at the edge of the gap was caused.

It’s not a dragon breathing out dragon flames, nor is it baking with lava.

Instead, the giant dragon fled in panic, its scales scraping against the rocks, and the sparks from the friction burned.

 The adult dragon's scales are as hard as iron and will generate high temperatures under severe impact.

He had seen the claw marks left by an adult dragon before, and this gap should also have been left by the other party.

 During the apocalypse, the giant dragon was trapped in the dragon's lair, and its survival instinct made it run away.

 The route it takes to escape must be through the entrance of the dragon's lair where it can usually fly.

Rhaegar didn't care whether the exit existed or not, he just wanted to follow the dragon's footsteps.

 There is no guarantee that there will be opportunities.

 “Hurry! Those who come in later will block the entrance of the hole.”

The group of people hurriedly ran into the cave entrance on the right side. The commander ignored the several mercenaries blocking the way outside and ordered people to block the entrance of the cave with gravel.

 “Damn it, let me in…”

"Roar…"

As huge pieces of rubble piled up at the entrance of the cave, the screams of mercenaries and the violent roars of the stone people could be heard outside.

Rhaegar glanced at it but did not stop him.

The mercenaries who stopped the stone people were more or less scratched and were definitely infected with greyscale.

 It is better to simply die now than to die in fear little by little when the disease occurs.

 “Go quickly, the cave is not deep!”

Rhaegar touched the damp stone slabs in the cave and urged forward.

 Not far away, the view suddenly becomes clearer.

 Ahead is a huge cave filled with rubble.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　…

 The top of the cave is weighed down by piles of rocks, and a large amount of water squeezes out of the gaps and merges into the underground river to form a deep spring.

Rega ignored the strange scenery in the cave and stared blankly at the piles of rocks piled up into hills.

 Under countless rubbles and soil, the white bones of a huge body were buried.

 The gray and curved dragon horns, the sharp and huge claws, the broken and broken wings...

Rhaegar panted slightly and said absently: "The dragon of House Belerys!"
