Chapter 244: The Land of Shadows

"Asha in the Land of Shadows?"

Zhang Cheng repeated this unfamiliar and somewhat familiar geographical term in a low voice, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The reason is simple, although there is almost no mention of the Land of Shadows, or the name of the city of Asha, in the entire story of A Song of Ice and Fire, in fact, both the Land of Shadows and Asha is the most incredible place that people say by word of mouth, and it is also the southeasternmost place in the known world and the birthplace of dragons.

It is said that it is shrouded in black shadows all year round, and it is impossible to tell when it is day and when it is night, and the land is overgrown with hideous and unusable ghost grass, making it difficult to grow any decent crops.

The water there is also an incredible black, so black that it doesn't reflect even a single bit of light in the harsh midday sun.

As for the water, there are a few strange fish that are blind and twisted, and no one but a madman wants to eat them.

It can be said that in such a harsh living environment, there are very few normal life that can survive, and even domestic animals will die without exception before they reach the real shadow land.

Malwein, a maestro known as the "Sorcerer", once mentioned in a report that the death of these domestic animals was most likely related to the black waters, perhaps full of some terrible magic and curse.

Yasha is the only port city that stands on the edge of the normal world and the shadows, relying entirely on passing merchant ships to keep itself afloat, and foreign merchants bring food, slaves, and drinking water in order to exchange gold and precious stones with the locals, and if the trade is interrupted, famine will break out in an instant.

Although it took two years to make a round trip from the free trade city of Pantos, and there were terrifying storms and sea monsters to face along the way, it still did not stop the merchants from pursuing wealth.

Some of them just want to make a good profit, while others are just to buy special goods that can't be bought anywhere else, such as dragon eggs.

The three dragon eggs that Daenerys got were purchased from the legendary city of Yasha.

Of course, none of the above is the most important, the most important thing is that Yasha is currently the only place in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire that does not have an exact history of origin, especially since all the buildings in the entire city are similar to the towering towers and Dragonstone fortresses, all of which are made of similar black masonry, and if anyone asks the locals about the origin of Yasha, they will tell you that the city has existed since the birth of the world until the day the world was destroyed.

Magic is never a mystery in Yaxia, and there are a host of supernatural powers that live here, including wizards, wizards, alchemists, moon singers, red priests, black alchemists, necromancers, cloud mages, fire magicians, blood witches, priestesses, nightcrawlers, black goats, pale children, and night lions.

If there's any place in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire where a lot of magic has never been broken, it's Asha.

For a while, Zhang Cheng also had the idea of going to Yaxia to communicate and learn from those magic users, but unfortunately he never poured out his efforts later.

He never expected that when he was about to leave, a person claiming to be from Yaxia would suddenly appear, and this person would also disguise himself as a housekeeper and lurk beside him for nearly half a year.

Delhi maintained a cautious defensive posture, and while continuing to extract the energy stored at the bottom of the tower, he responded with a smile: "That's right! To tell you the truth, my goal from the beginning was the Tower of Heaven, but I didn't expect you to see through its true purpose, so I had to take the risk of seizing the energy in case it was all consumed by you." ”

"What do you want so much energy for?" Zhang Cheng asked with a squint of eyes.

"Sorry, it's my business, it's not about you. If you could, could you please step back a little? Too close can make me nervous, and I believe you should know very well how serious the consequences can be if the huge energy under your feet is unexpected. Delhi quietly warned.

Clearly, he was fighting back in exactly the same way.

It's as if both countries have nuclear weapons and can ensure the destruction of each other, and no one with the slightest sense will choose to wage war in the real sense of the word against the other.

Unfortunately, Derry underestimated the madness of the other party, and even less the horror of a man who has made it his life's quest to gain power.

I saw that the corners of Zhang Cheng's mouth were slightly upturned, and a chilling expression appeared, and then he gently threw the violet-colored bottle in his hand forward.

"Damn, how dare you !!!!," Derry growled in panic.

He couldn't believe why the young man in front of him, who usually looked smart and reasonable, would make such a crazy move, wasn't he afraid of dying together.

Maybe he didn't know exactly what the strange energy contained in the water was, but that didn't mean he didn't understand what kind of terrifying accidents could erupt when two very different energies were mixed together.

In order not to let the terrible scene play out in front of him, he didn't care about keeping the magic ritual running, and opened his arms to try to catch the water bottle that fell from the sky.

Seeing Delhi's slightly clumsy movements, a hint of mockery flashed in Zhang Cheng's eyes, and he suddenly centered on himself, as if releasing a piercing cold ice around him.

Syllable!

In the blink of an eye, everything within a radius of a few meters was frozen in place by white frost, and Delhi was no exception.

Taking advantage of the moment when he couldn't dodge, Zhang Cheng pulled out the magic sword hanging from his waist and pierced the other party's heart with a pop.

His blow was fast and accurate, and the opponent couldn't move at all, so he easily achieved his goal.

Feeling the sharp pain in his chest and the draining life force, Derry's eyes widened as if he couldn't believe that he had been killed so easily, and that he hadn't been able to cast even a powerful spell.

Zhang Cheng didn't rush to pull out the sword, but took out the handkerchief he was carrying, wiped the blood gushing out of the corner of his mouth for Delhi, and said with a smile: "You know, you made at least three fatal mistakes today."

First, you shouldn't be too eager to extract energy, if I were you, you would choose to steal little by little, which may be a little slower, but it will be difficult to detect.

Second, you shouldn't continue to maintain a magical ritual after seeing me, that would be like a target, and I have several ways to kill you.

Thirdly, you shouldn't threaten me with an energy explosion, because I don't care, even if the whole old town is blown up into the sky, what does it matter to me? Do you think I'm going to be injured or killed in the explosion? No, I promise that no matter how big the explosion is, it won't hurt me in the slight......est."
