In order to have a safe logistics base, the experienced Eric had the sailors and soldiers spend hours cutting down all the trees and weeds around the camp that might obscure the view, and also built two improvised watchtowers and arrow towers out of the logs they had seen, so that they could keep track of the surrounding area and the sea at all times.

Although most ships avoid the cursed waters for a variety of reasons, there are occasional pirates or smugglers passing by.

He didn't want to be negligent enough to cause the battleship docked in the bay to be sunk and captured by the sudden appearance of the enemy.

The heavy physical labor continued until the evening, when Zhang Cheng left the "Tus" and entered the camp that stood on a small hillside.

At this moment, more than a dozen tents have been set up, and most of the people are busy bathing and cooking.

Due to the long-term lack of fresh water at sea, they have not bathed for half a month, coupled with the hot climate, everyone exudes a pungent sour smell, and now that they are ashore, they naturally have to clean it up.

On top of that, bad cured meats, rat-bitten rusks, and hard beans made them desperate for a change of taste.

All of a sudden, all kinds of seabirds, wild beasts, fish, crabs, and shellfish on the island were killed, and the hungry sailors did not even spare the turtles, but killed them and threw them into the pot for dinner.

Feeling the smell of meat in the air, Zhang Cheng turned to ask Eric, who was following him, "Don't you think they are a little too relaxed? ”

"Hahahaha! Don't worry, my lord, these lads are just venting, and they will calm down after a few hours at most. After all, after being at sea for so long, they are all suffocated. Eric glanced at the sailors who had gathered to chat and laugh, and shrugged his shoulders disapprovingly.

In his opinion, any adult man who has been at sea for more than a week in a row will inevitably do some outrageous actions when he goes ashore, such as taking out all the money in his pocket and finding a hotel to drink, and then tossing around with the woman all night.

In fact, nine out of ten people who have been engaged in the profession of sailors for a long time will often drink heavily and prostitute themselves, so hunting and improving their food is simply normal behavior, and it is not worth making a fuss about at all.

"Well, get them nervous as soon as possible. You see, what we're going to face next isn't pirates or stone people, it's something even more incredible. With that, Zhang Cheng ignored the camp that had fallen into a state of semi-carnival, and led little Celine straight towards the half-tall tower in the middle of the island, which was crawling with all kinds of green vines and plants.

According to House Targaryens, this is one of the most important places in the Valyrian capital, the Tower of the Mystic, as well as the place where Valyrians study supernatural powers and the only source of Valyrian steel.

It was here that they cast their powerful magic and knocked down a mysterious and deadly meteorite from the red comet.

Although Zhang Cheng did not think that the meteorite would fall around the tower, otherwise the destructive force generated by the energy release moment would have sunk to the bottom of the sea long ago.

But in any case, as a place for magical ceremonies, there should always be some clues, and his purpose is to find the location of the meteorite according to the clues, and then use all means to salvage it.

One foot deep, one foot shallow, through the ruins strewn with weeds and low bushes, two people, one large and one small, stopped at the entrance to the tower.

Gently stroking the exquisite symbols carved on the wall, Zhang Cheng suddenly turned around and asked the girl without warning: "Cute little princess, tell me what magic is in your eyes?"

"Hey?!" Celine was obviously taken aback, first biting her lower lip and hesitating for a long time, then quickly shaking her head. "I ...... I don't know. I think magic is something powerful and mysterious at the same time. ”

"Powerful and mysterious, don't you think that magic should be a kind of knowledge, a kind of technology, and anyone who is smart enough can learn it to master it?" Zhang Cheng asked rhetorically.

"Learn ...... Learn magic?!" Little Celine was undoubtedly frightened, her eyes widening with an expression of disbelief.

"Hehe, why, do you think it's a bit incredible? In fact, any kind of power that you don't understand contains corresponding skills and methods behind it, as long as you can master it, you can master this power, and magic is no exception. Look at the black points of light in the cross-section of the remnant rock wall, which is evidence of the Valyrian mastery of magic. Zhang Cheng said as he picked up a stone and handed it to the girl.

As soon as the latter took it, he subconsciously touched the cross-section of the stone, and immediately let out a scream and threw the stone far away.

"Ah!!! it's so hot!"

"That's right, you know, these black spots are actually specially treated dragon crystals, and mixing them into the walls not only increases the hardness of the walls, but also makes the walls resistant to the heat of dragon flames. Do you remember the walls of Dragonstone Fortress, which was made with a similar process? Regrettably, these technologies are now completely lost. Let's go inside, let's see what's left in there. ”

After a brief sigh, Zhang Cheng walked into the empty tower.

Because of the half-cut relationship, there is no obstruction above the head of the tower, and the light is very good, and you can clearly observe every corner of the surrounding area.

The first thing that catches your eye is the rows of huge bookshelves that are more than four meters long, but the books on them have long since rotted and deteriorated, turning into a pile of gray dust.

In addition to the bookshelves, the most striking thing is the spiral staircase that surrounds the central pillar, and even a lifelike dragon is carved at the corner of each staircase.

Just when little Lori was attracted by the spectacular scene of the tower hall, Zhang Cheng noticed that under the moss-covered ground, there seemed to be a faint energy emanating from it.

He hurriedly crouched down to remove the moss, inspecting the patterns and patterns that covered the moss.

Perhaps it was due to the passage of time, or it may have been corroded by the humid air for a long time, and most of the lines had become blurred, except for a flame-shaped pattern near the staircase, which remained intact and continued to release heat outward.

Celine soon noticed this, leaned over and asked cautiously, "What is this?"

Zhang Cheng smiled and spread his hands and replied: "It's hard to say, you have to do a small test first, you'd better go outside and wait, I don't want to see you injured......" Mobile phone users, please browse m. reading, a better reading experience.
