Chapter 288

(Volume 4 I Come, I See, I Conquer)

The Valyrian Peninsula was once the settlement of the Dragon King family.

More than four hundred years ago, a catastrophe swept across the peninsula, destroying the once powerful Valyrian dragon empire.

Now the land shatters and sinks, and the boiling sea floods the volcanoes and reefs, forming a sea of smoke.

Therefore, it is called the sea of smoke.

It is said that there are demons haunting here, and the curse of destroying the dragon empire is still in the air. Once a mortal enters, death is the only end.

For four hundred years, countless brave adventurers have gone to the sea of smoke to explore the ruins of the Valyrian Empire, even the former King of the Rock, Tommen Lannister II, and his golden fleet, from Volantis. A huge fleet trying to retake the Fortress of Liberty failed to make it out alive.

During the reign of King Jaehaerys I, Princess Aria Targaryen once drove the "Black Death" Balerion to the ruins of Valyria, but died a miserable death after returning, even the invincible "Black Death" suffered Seriously injured and dying shortly thereafter.

Since then, the ruins of Valyria have become a taboo in Westeros. The Iron Throne strictly forbids its people to go there, and ships that have been to the Valyria region are prohibited from entering the port in Westeros.

But today, a red sailboat sailed into this forbidden sea.

It hung black sails with a golden sea monster coat of arms painted on it, and a black iron maiden statue on the bow, with long legs, thin waist, high chest, eyes made of pearls, but no mouth.

The side of the ship is engraved with three big hideous characters - Serenity.

This is the warship of Euron Greyjoy, the brother of King Balon of the Iron Islands.

"Full port," Euron ordered.

His left eye is covered with a blindfold, leaving only a blue right eye, which reflects the dark water and fiery red sky.

The hot magma spewed out from the submarine volcano, making the whole sea of smoke look like a pot of boiled thick soup. In the smog, countless corpses of dead fish and shrimp floated on the surface of the sea.

The crew members were trembling, and were quite frightened by the terrifying scene in this taboo sea area, but they couldn't speak out to refute the captain's instructions, because none of them had tongues.

On the Serenity, only Captain Euron can speak.

The ship narrowly avoided a terrifying vortex, the sharp bow split the waves, and finally came to a relatively calm waters.

The dark sea water is still warm, but it is no longer boiling hot.

It's just that there seems to be something extremely dangerous hidden under this calmness.

The crew could not see living things in the water, not even their own reflections, the dark water seemed to absorb all light, and perhaps souls.

Boom

The ship hit a reef, and scalding water poured in from the bottom of the ship.

The crew screamed strangely, trying to block it in a hurry.

Euron Greyjoy didn't care, jumped straight into the shallows, and walked forward in the waist-high water.

He is "The Crow's Eye," and the crow's gift is to seek death.

In this doomsday ruins, death and destruction are everywhere. This is the paradise of "Crow's Eye".

A dark breath guides Euron forward.

Ahead is a strange isolated island, protruding from the sea water like a scorched finger, piercing straight into the sky.

The sea breeze blew away the fiery red clouds, and the dawn quietly sprinkled down, dyeing the dark sea into a frightening purple-gold.

The crew felt terrified. They yelled meaninglessly, trying to call their captain back, but Euron turned a deaf ear, and the lonely figure quickly disappeared into the steaming mist.

I don't know how long it took before he appeared again.

All the clothes on his body disappeared, revealing bronze skin and a strong and lean body, with a huge horn in his hand.

The horn is covered with stripes of red gold and black iron. The surface is smooth and shiny enough to see your own distorted reflection. Strange magic runes burn on it, exuding a palpitating power.

Euron stroked the horn, the smile on his mouth growing wild.

The next second, he raised the horn and blew loudly

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

The sound of the horn was like a sharp blade, loud and deadly, and the urgent scream made the crew members cover their ears and scream.

But even so, the sound still drilled into their ears and into their bones, as if to ignite their flesh and blood.

woo woo woo woo woo woo

The sea water suddenly became violent and boiled, and the fiery red smoke in the sky was stirred by a big hand, turning into a strange vortex.

Euron looked pained, his eyes were bleeding, but he couldn't stop.

Muscles all over the body began to twitch, and a blood-red bird appeared on the bare chest, as if it was about to flap its wings and fly.

woo woo woo woo woo woo

The sound of the horn continued, as if from hell.

Red and golden streaks spread from the horn to Euron's skin, penetrated into the flesh, and sprayed out white flames, as if to set him on fire.

The crew of the Serenity rolled over in pain and fell into the water, screaming wildly, but unfortunately no one heard their voices.

The whole world was filled with the sound of trumpets.

Just when they thought the horn would never stop, it stopped abruptly.

The world fell into silence, as if all sounds had disappeared.

The crew of the Serenity began to vomit, blood gushing out mixed with food.

When they regained their breath and raised their heads in fear, Euron had fallen on his back.

And failed to get back up.

After a long time, only a few crew members of the Serenity jumped off the ship cautiously, mustered up the courage to wade to the island, and came to this place full of weirdness and death.

Euron was lying on a boulder at the head of the beach, motionless.

Wisps of charred black smoke came out of his mouth, and he was severely burned from his mouth to his throat to his chest, covered with bright red blood bubbles, as if he had just swallowed a raging fire, blood gurgled from his five sense organs, his chest The birds in front were also weeping blood.

"The Crow's Eye" is dead?

The crew were dumbfounded and couldn't believe it.

That dreadful horn that killed him?

Several dumb crew members yelled and gestured quickly with their hands, as if arguing whether to move the captain's body back, and what to do with that terrible horn.

But at this moment, Euron suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the sea.

The blindfold on the left eye fell off at some point, revealing the eye that had never been shown beforethe red-gold pupils shone with a strange aura, making it difficult to look directly at.

And in his right eye, there was a pure blue light flashing and jumping.

The crew members took a few steps back unconsciously, startled by Euron's breath at the moment.

When they came back to their senses, they started gesticulating with their hands again, trying to tell the captain what happened just now.

Euron ignored his crew, he breathed heavily, and the lingering smoke mixed with the hot air was sucked into his lungs.

The burnt skin healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the weeping blood bird on the chest gradually disappeared, and the red and golden lines disappeared.

He picked up the huge horn from the ground, stroked the ancient runes engraved on it, and said in his mouth:

"I am the Dragonbinder. No mortal can make me sound and live. Blood for fire, and fire for blood."

The red light in Euron's eyes flickered more and more intensely, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually became crazy:

"Blood for fire, fire for blood!"

"Dragon Binder!"

He raised his trumpet high and announced to the world:

"The dead don't die!"
