Chapter 123 Return to the Royal City
Author: Kel'Thuzad's Cat
The raven-shaped creature is lifelike, no different from the wild crows that live in the forest, but the black pupils made of corruption betray the fact that it is not a living thing.
A few drops of dark green liquid were sprayed from its mouth, and soon, a layer of "trace" was erased from the dream green space like corroding paper, and the place completely disappeared.
"If we don't stop it, it will soon corrupt the entire grassland!" This corrupt creature is so powerful that Rhaenyra can only fight it with all her strength.
"Light up"! The grass will not really burn, but the magic of fire is real in dreams.
All thanks to the Dream Horn!
The raven was flying very fast, and for a while I couldn't even catch its shadow!
Rhaenyra closed her eyes, but the staff in her hand suddenly sprouted a pair of eyes made of the roots of the heart tree: "Dark Vision"!
There! A rotating "long needle" made of fire poison appeared on the staff... and hit the raven hiding in the air hard!
"Gah!" "Well done, human." Clayface was not idle either. Instead, he used the weirwood longbow of the Children of the Forest and shot at the raven in mid-air... The sound of the arrow hitting was heard, and the raven responded.
fall.
"Hiss!" The spirit body of Adonis, who had been assisting in the fight, rushed forward, grabbed the raven's wings with both claws, and opened its mouth to bite the neck.
What frightened Rhaenyra was that the raven's feathers turned into a flowing stream of rich corruption, which was seeping into Adonis' pure spiritual body bit by bit.
Just as the liquid slowly enveloped the entire young dragon, the horn on Rhaenyra's chest bloomed with a gleam of light in the green field... The liquid did not assimilate Adonis's spirit body! It was still as gorgeous as an emerald green gem, but it looked like
Taking tonics generally makes your body more solid and powerful.
This mysterious power of corruption was completely absorbed by Adonis!
The grassland where the stone tablets sit is still as calm as before, as if the sudden change didn't happen.
"I have never seen anyone...a dragon who can absorb the corruption of the Mother Goddess." Mudface murmured in shock.
"All things thrive and resist each other. Perhaps Adonis was born by nature, the nemesis of corruption!"
For this young dragon, corruption is not a poison that corrodes life, but the best nourishment.
"Could it be that the Mother Goddess chose this human being because she has the destiny to eliminate corruption?" Clay Face was happy in his heart, but his face was still cold.
"Thank you, human."
"I will enter the stone tablets and the land again... Westeros needs greenseers to maintain the natural order!"
"Wait...Senior!" Rhaenyra asked, "How should I call you...Can you give me some help?"
"I also want to help, protect the people and believers of the Mother Tree." Rhaenyra's eyes are sacred and pure, with piety on her face. She is really a sincere and kind girl!
"Human, you are still too weak, but I will not fall into deep sleep for a short time. As long as you recite my name silently under the heart tree, I will appear."
Well, after tricking a greenseer thug, Rhaenyra would not walk sideways in Westeros. Rhaenyra laughed a little sinisterly in her heart.
"Human, you are very strange. You can use the power of nature and even enter dreams, but... you cannot enter the heart tree."
"The Heart Tree is the source of the Green Seer's power. If you want to help me, you should practice how to enter the Heart Tree."
Mudface was also upset about the appearance of Rhaenyra. According to the truth, whether it is a forest witch or a believer of the old gods, it is possible to enter the garden of the old gods only by entering the heart tree.
But Rhaenyra entered the garden directly, just like a thief who somehow used a method to cross the "defense line" set up by the Green Seer and steal directly.
A polite yet embarrassed smile appeared on Rhaenyra's face. She was indeed an impostor...
"The corruption in dreams will still be waiting for an opportunity, attracting my attention at all times."
Hearing this, Rhaenyra quickly raised her staff, hugged the young dragon and said.
"I am willing to help my predecessors eliminate corruption!"
"Very good." Rhaenyra's enthusiasm moved the child of the forest who had been sleeping for many years...
If the entire dreamland is corrupted, it will be extremely detrimental to Rhaenyra. She also needs to have a good relationship with the greenseers, and participating in the action together is undoubtedly the best way to deal with it.
At this moment, a black ant quietly crawled out from under the hedge wall far away from the stone monument on the grass.
…
"Hiss!" Rhaenyra woke up on the ship.
Outside the window, two giant dragons were hovering on the sea, occasionally swooping down to target prey in the sea, splashing water.
Now she is still on the sea and has not returned to Dragonstone, so it is not clear what changes occurred in Adonis after digesting the corrupted raven in the dream.
"The harvest this time is great!" I got to know a senior green seer, who can help me when I encounter danger in the future.
As she expected, Adonis was able to get an opportunity in the dream, and it was not just about meeting some magical creatures.
"The corruption of the gods after the fall of the Mother Tree is such a powerful force. If Adonis can absorb it all..."
Bang, bang... someone is knocking on the door outside.
Rhaenyra packed herself up and stepped out of the cabin.
"Today's breakfast is whale steak!" Uncle Wang Damon said with great interest.
The sailors gathered on the deck to watch the excitement. A whale larger than the ship was lying on its back on the water long dead. It can be inferred from the foam and beard that the corpse of this giant beast was still fresh.
Not only that, there are still some burnt black marks on it, as well as bite marks.
Captain Victor said, "What are you still doing? Except for the parts eaten by the dragons, collect everything else!"
The first mate on the ship arranged for the sailors to cut off the whale meat and whale oil: a dusty crane was taken out, and a sailor drove a small boat over the whale carcass, and pieces of bloody meat steaks were cut off and transported to the ship.
"Which dragon's prey is this?"
Any adult dragon can hunt this ferocious sea whale alone.
"Is it a bloodworm? It has more experience!"
"No, it should be Syracuse. It has been patrolling around the fleet all night. Maybe it discovered this passing sea whale."
...Soon after, Rhaenyra and Daemon sat in the seats with the best view, and Victor arranged for the servants to cook a whale feast.
The tenderest steaks are rinsed and fried with spices, giving it a fragrant taste.
"We are a caravan. In addition to supplies along the way, we can only catch some sea fish for food. This is the first time that whales have been brought to the dinner table."
The whaling industry in the trading city-state is more developed. The whole body of the whale is valuable, and the meat can be eaten and used as the main meal for sailors. At the same time, whale oil can be refined and used in lighting, textiles and other industries.
"Only a giant dragon can capture prey so easily." Victor said with a sigh:
Whales can easily knock ships into pieces, destroying them and killing people. Whaling ships that set out from the port may not always come back with their tail intact.
But that's not possible when facing giant dragons, they are the top of the food chain.
"Where are the sea monsters?" Rhaenyra was a little curious. Some very huge whales were also a type of sea monsters.
"It is said that there are some sea monsters near the Sea of Smoke, along the coast of the Trembling Sea, and in the center of the Narrow Sea. They can evoke wind and waves and easily overturn giant ships..."
The breakfast time ended with Victor's vivid description, and Rhaenyra stopped Daemon who was about to leave.
"Uncle Wang, please return to Dragonstone Island first and bring some things back with you."
"Why, won't you return to the royal city?"
