Extra Story: Chapter Twenty-Four The Dusty History
The look on Daenerys's face has been somewhat dazed since she entered the black stone palace located deep in the ruins.
Because the scene in her dream is almost perfectly reproduced here.
There was a coffin lying quietly in the hall, and people below were cheering and mingling. However, when she suddenly woke up, she found that everyone was looking directly at her, and their empty chests were all without hearts.
It's just that the scene in the dream was magnificent and magnificent, as if you were in a heavenly palace, but the scene you saw in reality was completely made of black stone. It was dark and deep, and the atmosphere was so oppressive that it made people breathless. There was also a deep chill in the air.
It seemed that something ominous was watching them secretly.
"This was once a palace?"
"What made it look like this?"
Daenerys mingled among the crowd and looked at her surroundings. Familiar scenes from her dreams gradually resurfaced.
In the silver-haired girl's dream, this place was supposed to be a magnificent palace, with well-dressed and polite guests coming and going. However, in reality, it looked shabby, even like the underworld. There is no palace.
?
"This is...the power of time?"
"Let it be riddled with holes..."
Ten thousand years is a long time, so long that people can hardly imagine what their ancestors looked like.
I don’t understand their history, their culture, and their beliefs. Even though they live on the same land, they seem to have no connection with each other.
Because during this long period of time, the inherited culture has long been discontinued and disappeared in the turmoil.
Thinking of this, Daenerys felt a little scared in her heart.
The power of time is truly terrifying.
"Is this an empty coffin?"
At the front of the team, Professor Wilson, who was also here for the first time, was discussing something with Lieutenant Colonel Hank.
"Yes, Professor."
Lieutenant Colonel Hank nodded. They had detected this place from the farthest point. They had completely cleaned the entire periphery of the ruins. This was the center point of the ruins.
If this metal coffin really contained something important or bones, they would have discovered it long ago.
"But when we got here, the lid of the coffin was already open."
"The things inside may have been stolen, or... they may have escaped by themselves."
The middle-aged officer had a searchlight tied to his helmet. The light illuminated the entire heavy coffin, slightly reflecting the light of the metal. He also placed his hand on it, and the cold touch even penetrated his gloves and reached the depths of his soul.
, shivered.
"ran away?"
Lieutenant Colonel Hank's words made the surrounding students suddenly feel a chill on the back of their necks, as if someone was blowing wind, and the hairs stood on end.
Although they were outnumbered, the situation they were in was much scarier than the usual haunted houses.
"Just kidding, boys."
"Look at how scared you are and how you are going to run away. How can you protect the ladies around you in the future with this little courage?"
When the middle-aged man saw the frightened look of these children, his expression changed instantly, and he couldn't help but laugh.
He has a son who will go to college in a few years.
Not to mention that there were no traces of being robbed when they discovered this ruins, and there were black-haired monsters everywhere from here. Even if someone came in, it would be impossible to get here safely, and the things inside would not be able to come out.
so easy.
On such an occasion, Lieutenant Colonel Hank seemed a little inappropriate and made a joke.
"call..."
However, this still achieved the effect he wanted. The students all breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his words. Their hearts that had been gradually lifted along the way were relieved a lot. There was a sparse response from the team.
On the other hand, the old professor did not speak.
"Um…"
He frowned and held a flashlight in one hand, and a magnifying glass in the other hand to carefully examine the patterns on the coffin. Then he put away the magnifying glass and said.
"This is indeed the heraldry exclusively used by the royal family of the ancient empire."
"It is almost certain that this coffin once contained the burial of someone very important to the royal family."
"A very important person?"
"Is he that Viserys?"
Lieutenant Colonel Hank suddenly became more energetic after hearing the old professor's words. He hurriedly knelt down and looked at the dragon-shaped coat of arms on the coffin and asked.
The 'Moon Spirit' Theon, who was hidden in the team and was responsible for protecting Daenerys, also turned his attention here.
The imperial mausoleum of the royal family of the ancient empire had been destroyed in the cataclysm 10,000 years ago. At that time, the angry mob rushed into the Red Keep, burned, killed and looted, and the royal mausoleum located not far outside King's Landing also suffered
Disaster.
Many tombs of emperors from past dynasties were excavated, the bones were thrown aside, and the funerary objects were rushed up and divided up.
Because of this, very few tombs of the great nobles, especially the royal family, from the ancient empire have survived to this day.
After the federal government, the military and the Targary family took control of this ruins, they have been confirmed by a lot of evidence, especially the book by a person from ancient Asia who calls himself the 'Red Witch'. They have always speculated that this place belongs to Viserys.
tomb.
"Evil enemies have invaded this planet from the outer universe, and the gods in the sky have united to fight against these enemies from outer space. The gods of ice and fire are on the front line and are the main force in protecting this world."
"The battle outside the God's Domain originally went well, and they repelled the enemy. But at this time, conflicts suddenly broke out inexplicably in the camp of the gods, resulting in failure. The King of the Gods stepped forward to turn the tide..."
The King of the Gods fell here, and according to the incomplete records of the Tagri family, they have reason to believe that this 'King of the Gods' was their distant ancestor ten thousand years ago...
The legendary King Viserys I Targaryen was the beginning of all stories.
This is his tomb.
"But it's a pity."
Professor Wilson took off his reading glasses, and the wrinkles on his forehead rose slightly. Then he stood up, shook his head and said.
"This shouldn't be Viserys's tomb."
Judging from the size of this coffin and the incomplete mural before it, the real owner of the tomb here should be a woman.
This is a detail that some experts and scholars have not discovered before.
Moreover, based on the style of this tomb and the coffin, as a convenient Taishan Beidou for archeology, it is not difficult for Professor Wilson to judge that this should be a tomb from the late ancient empire.
But both Viserys and his three wives were the founders of the ancient empire. They single-handedly built this great empire that spanned half the planet and lasted for ten thousand years.
They... couldn't have lived for ten thousand years and died at the end of the ancient empire.
"Is it because of their deaths that the ancient empire collapsed?"
Such thoughts suddenly flashed through Professor Wilson's mind. The legendary god fell in front of countless people's eyes. The god's blood stained the sky, and people's faith began to suddenly collapse.
Because only in this way can such a powerful empire disappear overnight.
Then the war broke out, and the rebels overthrew the empire and opened a new era.
"Back then...what did the ancients see?"
The old professor frowned, but then he shook his head and drove this unrealistic idea out of his mind.
