Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Dead silence was the biggest feeling in the entire Valyrian ruins. Lind didn't feel the breath of any living thing from the surroundings. The sound just now was obviously not caused by lava debris falling from the sky, but more like some kind of The sound produced by the friction of stones as a creature crawls on the ground.

Linde did not hold back, but directly pulled out the sword of the Lost Knight from his waist, and transformed his current ordinary vision into a special vision that could see magic power.

The previous dark environment was replaced by countless corrugated or granular magic worlds at the next moment. Everything here has different magic fluctuations, and these magic fluctuations constitute different forms, like Like some kind of three-dimensional object that is not rendered, Lind can see the world around him clearly in another way.

As his visual style changed, Linde also saw something that surprised him.

Just next to a dragon bone not far away, a group of soft-bodied creatures like sea cucumbers are squirming. Although this creature looks like a whole, judging from the magic aura, it is actually made up of dozens of small individuals mixed together. , and each small individual has a core similar to a magic source inside, and these cores feel a bit like hot burning lava to Lind.

These soft-bodied creatures seemed to have extremely high hunting intelligence. When Lind noticed them and looked towards them, they all stopped, and then the magic power on their bodies also converged, as if they had entered some kind of silence. The status is the same.

If Linde hadn't clearly seen the whole process, he might have ignored these soft-bodied creatures as just a piece of stone.

This creature reminded Lind of the relevant records of Arya Targaryen before her death: The creature of high temperature and fire made a terrible sound under her skin, and her flesh became more and more charred until it Like pork cracklings; smoke came out of her mouth and nose, and her eyes were cooked in her skull until they burst.

"Moroa and the others should like this kind of gadget." Lind thought of the Black Cave at this time. Regardless of whether this thing was the thing that caused the death of Aria Targaryen, this thing is a magical creature, which is just right. Let the mages in the Black Cave do some research. If possible, it might be good to build a dedicated research base here.

Just when Lind was thinking about this mollusk-like magical creature, those magical creatures seemed to notice that Lind's attention was diverted, and then crawled quickly on the ground.

Although they were molluscs similar to snails and slugs, they crawled very quickly. In the blink of an eye, they crawled to Lind's feet, then bounced directly off the ground and covered Lind's face. come over.

"Facehugger?" Seeing this attack method, Linde instantly thought of an extremely dangerous cosmic parasite. At the same time, the telekinesis power he had practiced for many years was instantly released, directly fixing this creature in the air, allowing They couldn't move.

At this moment, Linde sensed a spiritual power invading his mind, and ordered him to put down the captured soft-bodied creatures.

"It's such an interesting little thing that he can actually have the ability of mental control and a certain amount of wisdom!" Linde immediately found out that the source of this mental power was the soft creature controlled by him. If ordinary people encounter this kind of mental power, I'm afraid it's already under control. Even if it's not under control, it will still be greatly affected.

He remembered that the information mentioned that the first words Aria Targaryen said after returning to King's Landing from the ruins of Valyria were "I will never...". Obviously something should be trying to control her at that time, But she was blocked by her strong will, and she did not compromise until she died completely.

Moreover, the creature that parasitized her did not die after she died. It still tried to survive and was frozen to death until it touched the ice water that cooled her body.

King Jaehaerys was horrified when he witnessed all this, and later issued a strict decree prohibiting any ship suspected of visiting the Valyrian islands or the Sea of ​​Smoke from landing at any port in the kingdom. Any Westerosian who visited Valyria would be executed.

Thinking of this, Lind used telekinesis to peel off one of the parasitic organisms, and then used the Frozen Dragon Rune to create a force of ice, freezing it directly.

Through special vision, Lind saw that the moment the parasitic creature came into contact with extremely cold temperatures, its lava-like core was completely petrified, the creature's magic power also disappeared instantly, and the entire creature turned into a hard stone.

Lind placed the stone turned by the parasite on the ground, then cut it open with a Valyrian steel sword to check what was inside. He also wanted to see if it was a suspended animation.

Soon, Linde completely cut open the parasite, took out its fingernail-sized core, and looked at it carefully before his eyes.

He couldn't tell what this thing was and what it was used for, but he was sure that it contained very strong magic power, and compared to the chaotic magic power in the outside world, the magic power inside was very stable, which made Linde couldn't help but feel... I want to get the keystones used to forge magic weapons and armors mentioned in the memory of the unknown king, or the magic stones used to make certain special effects magic potions.

Thinking of this, Lind looked at the parasites with a slightly different look. If the cores of these parasites can really be used to forge magic items and magic potions as he thought, then the value of these parasites It's extraordinary.

At this time, there were some strange noises coming from the pile of dragon bones, and then Lind saw many similar parasites emerging from the pile of bones. Apparently these parasites had settled and multiplied here. They came down and formed a huge group, and when they discovered Linde, a creature that could be parasitized, they couldn't wait to emerge and move towards Linde.

Perhaps due to group action, these parasites were no longer as cautious as before, but rushed towards Linde, feeling like a tide.

For this reason, Lind retreated a distance and came to a relatively open place. He was not afraid of these parasites, he just wanted to collect the loot later for convenience.

Just as this wave of parasitic organisms rushed forward, and jumped up to form a huge wave, rushing towards Linde, the Homeless Knight armor on Linde's body burst out with a strong freezing force, directly forming An ice storm swept across the surrounding area, instantly freezing all the parasites in the open space into ice sculptures, and the surrounding area instantly became a frozen world.

The resistance of these parasitic organisms to the cold air is almost zero. Not only all the parasitic organisms in the areas covered by the freezing power are dead, but even the overflowing cold air outside the range of the freezing power also kills a large number of parasitic organisms. Moreover, all the parasites that were initially imprisoned in the air by Linde using telekinesis were also dead.

Linde didn't care about this. Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that there are a lot of these parasites here, and they can also be caught alive in other places. And if the cores of these parasites are really as he thought, That can become materials for forging magic items and potions, and then this place will become an inexhaustible resource point, and a batch can be harvested every once in a while. It doesn't even matter if ordinary people come, as long as they bring Just have the magic item with the Frozen Dragon Rune.

While thinking about how to deal with the parasites here, he used telekinesis to quickly tear apart the petrified parasites and take out the cores inside. Soon, more than 300 cores were piled up in front of him.

Lind put these cores aside for the time being and came back to take these things away after he finished exploring the city of Valyria.

However, he did not continue to explore the giant dragon bones pile. It was obvious that this place had become a breeding ground for these parasitic organisms. If he continued to explore inside, it was not certain whether he would be able to find the dragon eggs, but he would definitely encounter an attack by the parasitic organisms. Even if the parasites are killed by then, it will not be easy to take away their cores. After all, it is not easy for him to take away the more than 300 pieces in front of him, and any more will have to be discarded.

After bypassing the pile of bones, Linde entered the city. When he was hovering in the air, he saw a building in the center of the city below that seemed to be well preserved. Even though it was surrounded by large craters from meteorites, there was no One spread to the building.

Linde walked very fast. Although there were many potholes and ruins in the road, this did not pose any obstacles to Linde.

On the way, Linde also encountered several giant dragons that fell on the road. These dragons were different from the corpses of giant dragons that Linde had seen before. There were no wounds on these dragons, but all the flesh and blood and internal organs in their bodies had disappeared. , the entire dragon skin is tightly attached to the bones, looking a bit like the undead dragon seen in the previous game.

Another strange thing is that the eyeballs of these dragons are still there, but they have just turned into a ball of lava-like objects. They are still burning even now. They look similar to the cores of the previous parasites, but they are much larger.

Linde took out the dragon's eyeballs and looked at them carefully, and found that these lava-like eyeballs did not have any magical aura. After cutting them open, they were all stones.

Although I don’t know what these giant dragons experienced before they died, it is certain that they were parasitized by those soft-bodied creatures. It is even possible that some of the giant dragons have fought against the Black Death in the past. After all, it is mentioned in the information. Black Death has many lacerations on his body, and the only ones that can cause harm to a dragon like Black Death are other dragons.

However, these giant dragons are all dead now, both those who were parasitized and those who were not parasitized.

This also made Linde feel a little confused. Why did the parasitic organisms not spread outside? Not to mention other places, such as the land of Changxia, which is only separated by a sea. What if these parasitic organisms spread to other places? , then it would be an absolute disaster for the entire human world.

"Maybe it's because they need the chaotic magic power generated by the black stone to survive?" Linde guessed in his mind.

It took more than half an hour for Lind to go from the edge of the city to the center of the city. After passing through two craters, he stood in front of the intact building.

The entire building looks like a temple. The shape is not only similar to the Red Temple of Volantis, but also has some styles of the temple on the top of the mountain in Novos. It can be seen that these buildings all come from the same architectural style. .

There are a large number of human corpses in the square in front of the temple. The volcanic ash covered the corpses and solidified them. Even the expressions when they died were solidified on the cement formed by the volcanic ash. Fear, panic, confusion, despair, even if they were Hundreds of years later, looking at the cement sculptures formed by these corpses, one can still clearly feel the emotions of those Valyrian people at that time.

Lind walked towards the entrance of the temple, and soon something new caught his attention. They were hundreds of human corpses, but they were different from the Valyrian corpses outside. These corpses are all mummified, as if all the liquid on the body has evaporated, and the clothes worn by these corpses are not Valyrian-style clothes. Some clothes look like slave clothes, and some look like Wester's clothes. Clothes of knights and nobles.

Linde walked up to one of the corpses wearing noble clothing and dusted off his clothes, revealing the family crest belonging to the noble.

"Lannister?" Lind was stunned after seeing the family crest, then looked at the corpses around him and said, "Could he be Gillian Lannister?"

When Jillian Lannister drove the Laughing Lion to the ruins of Valyria, there was a big fuss. Duke Tywin even sent people to chase him to Volantis but failed to catch up. Finally, Jillian Lannister entered. After arriving in the Sea of ​​Smoke, he never came out again, and the Lannisters thought he was dead.

Lind once met Jillian Lannister at a banquet in Lannisport, and although the mummy in front of him was no longer human, he could still tell the person's original appearance from some facial features.

"It seems that it is indeed Gillian Lannister." Lind quickly confirmed the identity of the body, and then looked at the other corpses around him.

Judging from the positions of these corpses and their movements after death, they should be chasing something, or escaping from something, and came to this temple, but there may be something more terrifying in the temple, which makes them all The liquid evaporated at the same time, which made Linde feel vigilant and carefully check the surrounding situation.

The temple is very large, but also very empty. There is only one altar built in the center of the temple. The altar is very simple, without any patterns, and without any symbols that can represent the gods.

Linde walked to the altar, took a look, and found a mummy lying on the altar, and on the ground next to the mummy was a twisted horn.
