Inspired by something inexplicably familiar, Viserys rode the dragon and flew to a place a hundred leagues northwest of Norvos, and then landed from the sky.
It is close to Loras Bay, but still surrounded by the mountains of the Norvos Mountains.
This is a mountainous area, densely covered with woods and sparsely populated. A huge black dragon passed by, startling the beasts on the ground and fleeing in all directions, as if it was the end of the world. Then Balerion fell from the air.
"here..."
Viserys frowned slightly as he looked at the scenery in front of him.
This place is located in the Norvos Mountains, but it is relatively far away from the city-state of Norvos. However, Viserys can feel the call coming from this place from a long distance away, and it is even more distant when he flies over on the giant dragon.
I saw it at a glance from a distance.
There is no other reason.
Because the landform features here are so conspicuous.
This is a huge sinkhole, and the deep entrance is like an abyss. Especially when looking down from the sky and facing the entrance of this sinkhole, it will give rise to a creepy feeling. Even Viserys is not immune to it.
When he looked directly into the abyss, it seemed as if the abyss was also looking directly at him.
However, when Viserys fell from the sky and stood on the edge of the sinkhole and looked down, he could find that there were many dense caves below the sinkhole.
Naturally, this shocking natural feature will not go unnoticed. It is definitely the largest sinkhole that Viserys has ever seen, even bigger than the remains of the Fourteen Firefronts that he glimpsed in the ruins of Valyria.
Be huge.
Because Viserys had the ability to remember many books, he could remember them in his mind after reading them once, so he only thought about them for a moment before he remembered where he was here.
"Still 'Long Legs' Lomas."
"This guy has traveled to countless places in his life."
Viserys thought about it.
"Lomas traveled the world and wrote two famous books, one called Miracles and the other called Man-Made Miracles."
Because these two books are so famous, they are among the enlightenment books for many Westeros aristocratic children, directly helping children shape their first impression of the entire vast world.
"Gods created seven wonders, but humans created nine."
This is the most famous sentence Lomas said.
The seven wonders created by gods are only natural landscapes, while those created by humans are man-made architectural wonders.
"The sinkhole in Norvos is one of the seven wonders created by the gods."
"Here is the rarest cave system in the world. The sinkhole is so steep and bottomless that no one can reach the bottom of this sinkhole."
"'People say this is the entrance to the underworld.'"
Viserys still likes the two books "Miracles" and "Man-Made Miracles" by Lomas Longlegs very much. The former Maester of Dragonstone was his first teacher. Viserys also likes the sinkhole of Norvos.
deep impression.
Especially for Lomas's last description, "The people around the sinkhole believe that this is the entrance to the underground world."
These things aroused Viserys' curiosity very early, but as more and more things happened later, Viserys had long forgotten these things.
Unexpectedly, I was attracted to the surroundings of this sinkhole by chance at this time.
"really."
"This is just like the cave outside the Great Wall where the old god's body suppressed. This is also a bottomless pit."
The people around them guessed right. Some of the bizarre myths and stories in this world are very outrageous. Some of them must be believed, because many of them are not stories spread by rumors, but are real things.
For example, the people living around the Norvos sinkhole claimed that it was the entrance to the underworld, but Viserys confirmed this after careful observation.
This place indeed leads to an unknown place. Viserys doesn't know whether this is the underworld or something else.
But what Viserys can be sure of is that this place, the bottomless pit outside the wall, the ruins of Valyria and other places do come from the same source, and they all have an inexplicable relationship with the black mist in his body.
After Victarion was transported to King's Landing, the red-robed priestess Melisandre came to the door that night. She explained to Viserys in detail what "darkness and destruction" was.
The teachings of the Red God are based on a dualistic worldview, in which Allah R'hllor is called the King of Light and the god of heat and life, while his mortal enemy, the God of Cold, is the god of darkness, coldness and death.
The never-ending struggle between them determines the fate of mankind.
The battle between the Red God and the Cold God is a war based on this world. Beyond this, there is another powerful force that has been coveting to invade this world and is constantly infiltrating.
They are called 'Destruction'.
There is a wall in the Red Temple headquarters of Volantis that says "Darkness and Destruction". These are the two major crises that threaten the entire world.
The power of the Cold God brings death, and the will of destruction will destroy the entire world, even destroying the Cold God.
According to the revelation brought by Allah, all the gods except R'hllor are false gods, because they are likely to have been corrupted by the will of destruction, such as the cold god and the old gods of the north. Only R'hllor still remains.
On the Qingming Festival.
Because of this, all believers of the Red God Religion firmly believe that there is only one true God in the world, but only the top leaders of the Red God Religion will know the secrets.
And Melisandre comes from Asshai, which is the real city of magic, wizards, sorcerers, alchemists, moonsingers, red monks, dark warlocks, necromancers, cloud wizards, fire warlocks, blood wizards
, Torturer, Judgment Knight, Poisoner, Priestess, Night Walker, Skinchanger, as well as followers of the 'Black Goat', 'Pale Holy Child' and 'Night Lion', etc.
They were all welcomed to Asshai, where there were no taboos. They could practice their spells at will, without restrictions or criticism. They could perform obscene rituals, have sex with demons, and talk about things they couldn't talk about publicly if they wanted.
s things.
When the red-robed priestess came out of here, she naturally knew many things that outsiders didn't know, so Supreme Priest Benello has always regarded Melisandre as a thorn in his side.
But he just sent Magiro to Westeros to pick the fruit, so naturally it wasn't that easy.
"But darkness and destruction seem to be resurrecting together."
Feeling the excitement in his heart, Viserys stood on the edge of the sinkhole, his long silver-gold hair fluttering in the wind, and then he clenched his fists.
