"Everyone has heard the legend of the sea monster in the sea of smoke before."
The world's imagination of sea monsters is mostly limited to giant octopus, squid and other tentacle monsters.
Such as the Greyjoy family's golden squid.
There are still a few people who imagine sea monsters as huge whales. After all, even if that kind of behemoth does not grow into a sea monster, it is still the undisputed overlord of the ocean.
However, this kind of creature has a docile personality and does not look ferocious in appearance, so there are relatively few legends imagining sea monsters as whales.
"The root of terror actually comes from people's inner fears."
"Everyone has heard that there are sea monsters in the sea of smoke, and the existence of gray mist inspired their inner fear, making them mistakenly believe that they were attacked by sea monsters, so"
The young man with long silver-blond hair was sitting on the bed, his brain running rapidly trying to explain the mystery, but his words stopped abruptly here.
"So what?"
"Eamonn."
Mia wiped off the blood on the dagger. She was much calmer now, and then she raised her head and asked.
"There's no way to explain that these people who have been tricked will only attack conscious humans and not their 'kinds', right?"
"If it was just pure imagination, they should kill everyone around them."
"People who have fallen into madness should not be able to clearly distinguish between ourselves and the enemy."
Mia and Viserys just observed that all the crazy people with red eyes were besieging the conscious humans.
However, they do not attack each other, and can even cooperate with each other. The cooperation is perfect and there is no accidental injury. They are like clear-headed people.
"That's right."
Viserys frowned slightly and nodded after hearing Mia's words.
He was indeed confused about this issue and didn't know why something like this happened.
However, because of Jillian's diary, Viserys knows more than Mia.
He knew that there were indeed sea monsters in the Sea of Smoke, because Jillian had encountered one before, and everyone on the ship had paid a huge price before finally escaping to the lost continent.
Viserys once believed in Jillian's diary, but now Viserys suddenly has doubts about the authenticity of this diary.
He did not doubt whether this diary was forged by Jillian to lure him into exploring the ruins of Valyria.
Because even if Jillian doesn't need to design a lure, he himself will definitely come here in the future. This is the key to solving the mystery of the black mist.
What he doubted was what was described in Jillian's letter.
Are sea monsters real?
Jillian said in his diary that the fleet was attacked by a sea monster, and all the crew members rose up to resist and cut off the sea monster's tentacles.
Although the crew suffered heavy losses in the end, they still escaped the sea monster's attack.
Viserys now had some doubts in his heart. Was what Jillian saw then really a 'sea monster'?
Or is it just like what happened before Viserys personally experienced it, it's just the imagination in people's minds, and then they kill each other, but in fact there is no such thing as a sea monster.
"Then Aemon, what should we do now?"
Then the room fell into silence again, and after a while, the red-haired girl asked again.
She has no idea now. Now she is on the sea, and the people on the boat are going crazy and killing each other. If she continues to wait here, sooner or later these people will find her and kill her.
Now, jumping off a ship to survive, not to mention being in a dangerous sea of smoke, even on the sea outside is an act of suicide.
Mia asked Viserys for help, and Viserys was hesitating whether to summon Balerion now.
Or...he kills everyone here himself.
And at this time.
There were sudden sounds of footsteps outside the room where the two people were staying.
It turned out that the sound of fighting overhead had completely stopped at some point, and even voices could be heard.
The captain seemed to be directing the sailors to provide disaster relief, as if nothing had happened.
"Um?"
"Who's in the house?"
A mercenary who walked outside the door of Viserys and Mia seemed to hear something moving inside the house, and suddenly asked in a nervous voice.
But the two people in the room were even more nervous, including Viserys. The two looked at each other, neither of them able to figure out the details of the person outside the door.
A living person? A dead person? Or a state somewhere between madness and logic?
However, it was obvious that staying in the house and pretending to be dead would not work. The people outside the door were banging on the door more and more fiercely, and they seemed to be calling their companions.
Even if we kill him and run away, now is the best chance?
Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome when the other party calls a companion.
Viserys and Mia looked at each other and understood.
Then the silver-haired young man stood up first, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and came to the door.
Mia, on the other hand, hid aside, ready to pierce the opponent's throat with a dagger at any time.
Click.
Then Viserys suddenly opened the door directly.
Clang
And when he saw the door being opened suddenly, the person outside seemed even more nervous than Viserys.
He took out the long sword from his waist and took a few steps back, but when he saw the young man in front of him clearly, he took a breath and put the sword back into the scabbard.
"Eamonn, it's you."
The visitor was none other than Dick, who lived in the same dormitory as Viserys.
He was also the first one to start coughing. Now his body was covered in blood, and it looked like he had just experienced a fierce battle.
"Hey, and Mia, are you hiding here?"
Dick also saw the girl hiding aside, and then said hello naturally.
Escape is a very normal thing for mercenaries. He just didn't seize the opportunity to escape, otherwise he would definitely not have fought the sea monster until now.
But if everyone on this ship just wants to escape, it will be a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated.
Dick shrugged slightly.
"The sea monster has been repelled by us, and many brothers were killed and injured."
"You can come out now."
"Has the sea monster been defeated?"
Viserys and Mia looked at each other again, and both saw the deep confusion in each other's eyes.
"what's the situation?"
Mia lowered her voice and asked in Viserys' ear.
"what is going on…"
Viserys also frowned slightly, looking up and down at Dick in front of him, feeling that he was trapped in a fog and couldn't find any logic.
Today Dick looks perfectly normal, his speech and behavior are logical, there is no aggression, and his eyes are not blood red.
