Chapter 295 Clues to the Origin of the Dragon

The Black Palace is in peace and prosperity.

Sothoryos in the distance.

Dan and his party evacuated the battlefield near Yilin in a rather embarrassing manner. The dense forest did not stop them, but made everyone run harder.

The soldiers and scholars running on the bottom were soon exhausted, but they also rushed out of the area previously covered by the gray-white fog and returned to the "safe zone" spewed by the dragon before they set out. When they stopped, people realized that they had spent a day and a night to explore the battlefield, but it only took them an afternoon to run back.

The sun gradually set, and the gray-white fog enveloped the river again, but did not erode the "safe zone" where Dan and his party were, as if the dragon's flame made the gray-white fog feel "fear".

"Hu, hu." The scholar panted heavily and sat down on the camp that had been set up before with a tired face. The striped guide Gada Guga squatted beside him, talking to himself. At this time, the three-headed dragon slowly landed near the safe zone.

Dan and Beile eagerly got off the dragon saddle. Two dragon riders, one big and one small, almost immediately rushed to Moon Dancer's side.

Worried that the wild dragon would attack his companions, Sendrolos prepared for battle, with his dragon wings slightly spread out, his slender neck stretched out, and dark green flames surging between his teeth, ready to pounce on the wild dragon that was slightly smaller than himself and stop any of its actions. The tentacles of the fire also stretched out, and even three tentacles were quietly trying to reach out to Moon Dancer's body.

Moon Dancer also looked at the two people, one big and one small, who were walking over with full vigilance.

"Beile, stand behind me." Dan waved his hand, protecting Beile behind him, stretched out his hand, and said in High Valyrian: "Moon Dancer, don't move."

As if hearing a familiar command, Moon Dancer was stunned for a moment, and then continued to look at Dan who was walking towards her vigilantly, but the two giant dragons next to her forced Moon Dancer to focus more on Sendrolos and Fire.

At this moment, Dan finally saw the body behind Moon Dancer that had turned into a skeleton.

Almost instantly, Dan realized who the body belonged to.

Baena Targaryen, daughter of Daemon Targaryen and Laena Velaryon, one of the "Twins of Pentos", queen of Jacaerys I, a member of the royal family who had been missing for many years.

"Moon Dancer, be obedient and don't move."

Dan ordered Moon Dancer in High Valyrian while slowly approaching the dragon. Centroros also approached Moon Dancer step by step to protect his partner. Moon Dancer cautiously retracted his neck. It didn't dare to attack Dan, because it was extremely sure that as long as it had the desire to spit fire or attack, the two of its kind would definitely tear it to pieces immediately.

Dan finally walked to Moon Dancer's side. He reached out and grabbed the straps of the dragon saddle. I don't know what method he used, but he gently pulled it.

The damaged dragon saddle naturally fell to the ground with the corpse.

The dragon saddle is a creation from ancient Valyria. This saddle made with a special method is only suitable for dragons. In the heyday of ancient Valyria, the forty dragon king families had their own methods of fixing the dragon saddle. For example, the Varese family would use long nails with magical power to nail the dragon saddle into the dragon's scales in ancient times. After the dragon saddle technology matured, it changed to cleverly use the direction of the long nails and scales to fix the dragon saddle without hurting the dragon. Targaryen is used to tying the dragon saddle with straps and then fixing it with nails.

Moon Dancer was just a young dragon when she left Westeros. After so many years, the dragon saddle no longer fits the dragon's body and scales. It is a miracle that it can be preserved until now.

Moon Dancer felt the dragon saddle on her back fall off. For some reason, it seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and was much more docile than before.

Dan frowned. Benilla's skeleton remained intact after falling from the dragon's back.

This is not normal.

"Uncle, look at the lines on the skeleton." Beile discovered the problem in the details.

Dan only realized at this time that there seemed to be some messy lines carved on Benila's bones. It was impossible to tell what was carved or what was used to carve it.

The tattered dragon saddle fell apart as soon as it landed on the ground, and a pile of messy things fell out.

There were metal coins that were cast in an unknown era and for some reason, shiny stones, a small piece of oily black stone that left a deep impression on them, colorful feathers, worms that had turned into stones, crystal clear scales, and several black slates.

There were densely engraved words that were already worn out.

The bachelor came up and turned away immediately after seeing this pile of things. He knew very well that there were some things that he couldn't even look at.

Dan carefully took out the things from the broken dragon saddle and sorted them out with Beile. He had already heard about the strange sound from the scholar and the veteran, but at least the sound did not really kill his members.

To find out what the sound was, it might take more time and exploration.

Gada Guga stopped talking to himself and walked to Dan with some fear.

"Respected Dragon King, Dragon God, can you provide shelter?" The striped guide said in a discouraged tone: "My god did not respond."

Dan thought for a while, pointed to the oily black stone and said: "Does your tribe's legend have any records of the enemy we encountered this time, the strange sound mentioned by the scholar, and the black stone?"

Please...collect 6...books...!

The striped guide nodded: "Yes, respected Dragon King."

He pointed to the oily black stone: "The stone that fell from the sky built the city. The gods protected the mortals. Those giant beasts were also created by the gods. The bloody snake god in the jungle created lizards that walk upright. They can use weapons and hunt mortals. Our hunter god with antlers protects us from the erosion of the snake god."

However, the striped guide had no idea about the strange voice.

"Never heard it, the voice said by knowledgeable people."

Dan keenly grasped the two key words in the words of the striped guide, the stone that fell from the sky, and the lizard man who used weapons.

He had a guess a long time ago that the striped people who were reproductively isolated from humans, and the weak but ferocious cave dwellers who could survive underground and killed by them were all the products of blood magic hybridization, or from an older era.

But no one could say what they were like.

Dan decided to continue looking, and he took a look at the stone tablets.

He couldn't understand the words on the stone tablets, but there was a beautiful handwriting engraved on the back of one of the stone tablets.

That was from Benila.

"These four stone tablets come from the ancient city of Izarkan, a place where mortals have never been and where dragons roar."
