Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 198
"There is a sea of ​​smoke ahead, my lord. Next, we will turn to the south," Daeron explained to Ian standing on the deck. "We need to bypass the entire ancient Valyria, and then enter the Gulf of Sorrow."

At this time, more than half a month had passed since Ian and the others set off from Tyrosh. Their boat crossed the summer sea and came to the coast of the ancient Valyrian Peninsula.

So far, their voyage can still be described as smooth. Although they encountered a relatively large storm on the summer sea, the crisis was under the rich sailing experience of the two captains, Darren Grafson and Kou Lu. was successfully resolved.

During the previous voyage, Ian successfully used the remaining time to clear scene four of the dream dungeon.It's a pity that I was trapped in scene five until the end of the exploration time, and was finally kicked out of the dreamland forcibly.

The entire dream dungeon brought Ian a total of 4 points of spiritual power and 4 points of agility, but in his opinion, this was not his biggest gain.

Compared with attribute points, Ian's series of high-intensity "pseudo-actual combat" in the dream copy has significantly improved his combat effectiveness.

In addition, Ian took the opportunity of learning Valyrian with Daenerys to further test the optional task bugs he had previously discovered.

Although Daenerys felt strange about Ian's request, she still used Valyrian to issue two tasks to Ian that should theoretically be "extremely difficult".

Because of the bug, these two tasks were settled on the spot, and both were judged as [simple] by the system.

At this point, Ian finally confirmed that the determination of the difficulty of optional tasks is limited by the player's own 'status'.

Even if Daenerys, whose title is 'King', issues a mission, as the 'Count' and 'Hand of the Queen', he still cannot obtain a judgment above [Easy].

Ian has to admit that for planning, the higher the player's status, the setting of the optional task difficulty judgment will not exceed a certain level is indeed a very effective balance method, which can prevent players from Become an attribute monster.

"We have to make a detour, my lord." Perhaps taking Ian's silence as dissatisfaction, Daeron quickly explained, "Although there is a sea area in the middle of the ancient Valyrian Peninsula on the map, it is impassable.

The Sea of ​​Smoke was part of the peninsula before the Valyrian Doom, which shattered the Valyrian peninsula and flooded the sunken lands with seas that boiled all day, filled with volcanoes and eruptions. Smokey reefs, and some adventurers even brought back news that there are demons and sea monsters haunting them. "

"I've heard of the doomsday catastrophe, and I'm not interested in the ruins of Valyria." Ian shook his head, dispelling Daeron's doubts.

Ian, of course, couldn't be headstrong enough to try to cross the sea of ​​smoke or explore the ruins of ancient Valyria.

If there are really devils or sea monsters active in it, the two ships I go in are just to deliver food, and relatively speaking, this is the best situation to deal with.

If there is a natural nuclear reactor in the ruins of Valyria inside, as some readers have speculated, and the entire peninsula is filled with nuclear radiation or there is some kind of cursed power in it, then it is [-]% impossible to return up.

And the latter does have some evidence, for example, in 54AC, Princess Aria Targaryen rode the 'Black Death' Balerion to the ruins of Valyria, and when she came back, she was severely cursed (other The appearance is suspected of being exposed to nuclear radiation).

After obtaining Ian's consent, the two ships, the Kiss of the Breeze and the Deep Blue Siren, began to head southward, and continued around the ancient Valyrian Peninsula to the slaves at a distance of about 150 nautical miles from the land. Bay to go.

A few days at the end of the month passed by, and the time came to the settlement day of the fourth month.

Not surprisingly, Ian once again topped the standings.

[Congratulations to the player who ranked No.1 in the scoreboard on the settlement day of the fourth month

Players get rewards: 30 points, 3888 golden dragons, 1 (in the area) self-selected S-level NPC]

Compared with the last time, the rewards have increased again. Although the range is not large, but cumulatively, this standings has also provided him with a lot of resources.

Another good news is that until now, the number of remaining players has remained at 26.

In other words, among the bottom three of last month's settlement, except for the unlucky guy who was drawn to be assassinated by the Faceless Man, the other assassins could no longer pose a threat to the player.If this momentum can be maintained, at most he can get the scoreboard reward for half a year.

Regarding the new S card, Ian was not in a hurry to remove it.

Although I don't know how big the system's so-called [area] is, but from experience, the ones I can draw must be the NPCs that are active in the city closest to me.

If I draw a lottery here now, there is a high probability that the NPC will appear in Volantis or New Ghis, and these two cities are not on my itinerary.So Ian decided to wait until Astapor landed before drawing this card.

After solving these problems, Ian called Roll into the cabin.

Since even if Daenerys was the task issuer, he couldn't get more than "simple" tasks, so Ian simply handed over the task of clearing tasks to Rolle.

Soon, Ian got two more attribute points through this month's optional missions.

Then he added all the attribute points to the mental power, which made his mental power finally break through the 30 mark, and he was finally able to point the shapechanger to the advanced level.

After the update, Ian's stat card becomes:

[Ian: Strength 35, Dexterity 31, Mental Power 30
Skills: Basic Manners, Basic Common, Basic High Valyrian, Advanced Swordsmanship, Advanced Horsemanship, Intermediate Lancer, Advanced Skinchanger, Basic Greenseer
Attribute Points: 0
Skill Points: 2
Points: 225
Props: basic skill optional scroll*1
Skill Upgrade Scroll*2]

After possessing advanced skinchanger magic, Ian can control a total of three animals including his own body to carry out activities at the same time.

Leaving the room and coming to the cage where his falcon was kept, Ian planned to make his first attempt to control three bodies at the same time.

However, as soon as he walked into Guan Falcon's room, Ian looked at the few sheep on the boat, and suddenly stopped, and a bolder idea rose in his mind.

Indeed, Ian's first reaction after upgrading his skills was to simultaneously control his body, the cat monitoring Celia, and the falcon used for high-altitude reconnaissance, so that he would not have to switch back and forth between the cat and the eagle in the future.

But when he saw these sheep that provided milk for the black dragon Ian, Ian suddenly thought, why can't he transform himself into a dragon?

Not being able to become a dragon knight himself is the biggest constraint Ian is currently facing, which means that the only dragon knight he can rely on is Daenerys. In order to achieve this goal, he must also ensure that he and Daenerys are in the same political ideal There are no serious disagreements.

But what if you simply turned the dragon into a skinchanger's animal companion?
One of the reasons why people without Valyrian dragon king blood cannot become dragon knights is that they cannot withstand the high temperature. Once they climb on the dragon's back, they will be burned by the hot scales on the dragon's body.

But the soul has no temperature!
