Valyria has undergone hundreds of years of evolution since the Doomsday Scourge, and now every Free Trade City-state speaks a different Valyrian language.
Viserys briefly flipped through the book and found that there were many words in it that he did not recognize.
Perhaps some words in Valyrian, passed down from generation to generation by Targaryens, have been assimilated into Common.
"Let's study it after we go back."
Then he carefully collected the book. The material of this book was quite special. Even after hundreds of years, it was still as good as new.
He felt that what the man was pointing at before he died did not seem to have any malicious intent, and perhaps he was deliberately reminding his younger generation of something.
The books he handed over must be extremely important to Viserys.
Maybe he had a premonition of something on the eve of the doomsday disaster, so he put on his armor, held this extremely important book in his hand, and was fully prepared.
But even so, it is definitely not the place to study ancient books right now.
Viserys then whispered an apology to the ancient noble's body, then took off the Valyrian steel armor from his body and picked up the Valyrian steel sword.
These are all good things, and Viserys will certainly not waste them.
"call--"
Balerion sprayed out white mist from his large nostrils, expressing his inner dissatisfaction, and his breathing was like thunder.
Obviously I have been waiting for such a long time to appear, but after my sudden appearance, I did nothing.
However, Viserys ignored him, which made Balerion a little depressed, and he made a dull sound from his ferocious head.
Then a pair of huge eyes fell on Mia on the other side, who was about to be frightened.
The red-haired girl swore that she had never seen such a huge creature in her life...
When she had just learned the identity of Viserys, she was still looking forward to seeing the legendary dragon.
However, when the giant dragon really fell from the sky, Mia felt that her mind went blank, and her whole body seemed not to obey her orders. She could only stare at the huge beast in front of her with wide eyes.
But when Balerion turned his head and locked his gaze on her, all this turned into a deep fear. However, the more fear he got, the more unable he was to move, and his legs felt like they were filled with lead.
Then, in the girl's eyes, the giant dragon slowly poked its head out in the night and came close to her eyes.
The scalding hot air hit her face. It was the turbid air exhaled by Balerion. It was like being in front of a volcanic crater. It blew the girl's hair flying in the sky and even made it difficult to open her eyes.
"It... won't eat me in one bite, will it?"
And such a strange idea suddenly crossed Mia's mind.
Logically speaking, Viserys's dragon would not do anything to him, but after all, a dragon is still an animal. If it suddenly goes crazy...
"Dragon's wisdom is very high."
"Maybe even smarter than some humans."
At this moment, Viserys's voice suddenly sounded.
This sound was like a handful of cold spring water on a hot summer day, instantly relieving Mia.
The dragon slowly raised its head, and the girl breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and found that she could move again.
She was really frightened just now.
Although she felt like dying not long ago, after all, she survived a desperate situation and came back to life, and now that she has overcome the difficulties, if she is bitten to death by Viserys's dragon, where can she go to reason?
"Then it just was..."
Mia wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, then turned her head to look at Viserys.
The silver-haired young man has already sorted out the things he wants to take away from here. The ancient books he brought out from the bedroom include that very important book, a set of Valyrian steel armor and a long sword.
At this moment, he was moving these things onto Balerion's back. Fortunately, before setting off, Viserys installed a set of gear on Balerion's back that could accommodate these things.
After hearing Mia's question, Viserys, who was sitting on the dragon's back, spread his hands slightly, and then raised his chin towards her chest.
"It was not looking at you just now, but at the dragon egg in your arms."
"Those...are the few members of its tribe."
Viserys's voice was calm, but he told a bloody and cruel reality. They were already the last dragons in the world, and Balerion's interest seemed to have become much lower.
"Perhaps Balerion thinks you are much more important than me now, and it certainly won't hurt you."
"Okay, come up quickly."
Then Viserys patted the seat behind the dragon.
Normally, Balerion didn't like to let others ride on his back, but Mia was an exception.
The opponent was currently holding five dragon eggs. Balerion was very careful and would not hurt the opponent.
"Can I ride a dragon too?"
After hearing Viserys' words, Mia instantly became excited.
After all, the girl still has a lively character, and in an instant she forgot the scene where she was frightened just now.
And with Viserys's guarantee, there shouldn't be any danger.
The girl first asked tentatively, then received a positive answer, and then asked again.
"Then...how should I get up there?"
Mia looked a little confused at Balerion's tall body. She just didn't see how Viserys climbed up.
"Up on the wings of Balerion..."
Viserys sat on the dragon's back and spoke.
However, before Viserys had finished speaking, a terrifying dragon roar suddenly came from the distance.
The sweeping waves of sound pushed away the dark fog in the sky like clouds and revealed the sun. The sky in Valyria has never been so clear.
At the same time, a figure even larger than Balerion appeared on the horizon, fluttering its wings and flying towards here.
Behind him, Viserys could vaguely see billowing black smoke rising into the sky, reaching straight into the sky like a pillar.
"What's this?"
"A bigger dragon?"
Mia, who was preparing to climb onto the dragon's back below, was slightly panicked, while Balerion seemed to be aware of the danger and became a little restless.
"That is--"
However, Viserys's gaze passed through the terrifying dragon and landed on the thick black smoke that vaguely reached the sky behind him, and his pupils shrank slightly.
"I'm afraid the secret of Valyria's Doomsday Disaster is hidden there."
I don't know why Viserys suddenly felt like this, and then he felt deeply uneasy.
"Come up quickly!"
Viserys pulled Mia onto the dragon's back.
Then without his urging, Balerion let out a low roar, vibrated his wings and flew directly into the sky, towards the sea of smoke outside Valyria.
On the ground below, the members of the expedition team hiding in the dark saw the figure on the dragon's back clearly, and their eyes widened instantly.
"It's them!"
"They can actually ride a dragon?"
Then, driven by a strong desire to survive, he mustered up the courage to run out and shouted loudly to the sky for help.
"Help!"
"help me!"
However, Viserys and Mia were in the sky, and their ears were filled with strong winds and they could not hear the sounds on the ground.
His voice only attracted two black-haired monsters, who then tore him into pieces.
