After noticing that the little guy's mental state was not as focused as just now, Zhang Cheng immediately asked, "How is the progress? What is recorded on these walls?"

"Hmm...... I've only deciphered a small part of it so far, and it's kind of like someone's suicide note. Celine Baratheon replied in a low voice as she ate.

Her eyes were still fixed on the wall, and her side was littered with countless pieces of paper covered in scribble.

You don't have to ask to know that these pieces of paper are all different translations of each word, and then combined with the other words and contexts in a sentence to deduce what exactly the sentence means.

In fact, because the alphabet itself is a form of writing that expresses specific meaning through pronunciation, which is very similar to pinyin, it is easy to have ambiguity in the process of interpretation, just as the languages of European countries on the earth are all developed from Latin.

For people in these countries, several other languages in the same language family are almost similar to the dialects of the Celestial Empire, so don't think it's amazing to hear that Europeans can learn several languages, or even a dozen Chinese.

As an alphabetic script used by an ancient lost civilization, the High Valyrian language has the same characteristics, and no one really understands the language yet, so Celine the Younger can only rely on the small number of preserved Targaryen books to try to decipher the rest.

"Suicide note?" Zhang Cheng subconsciously turned around and glanced at the human bones piled up in the corner of the room.

The girl nodded slightly: "Yes! At the time of the disaster, there was a fire mage who called himself Orwin and a dozen slaves were trapped, and in order to survive, he put ...... Kill all those slaves one by one, and then struggle by eating corpses for a month......"

In the end, little Celine couldn't help but shudder, and her eyes revealed horror that was difficult to hide.

For her kind-hearted, not to mention the extremely cruel behavior of people like cannibalism, just slaughtering people like animals is beyond the bottom line of her heart.

But in Zhang Cheng's view, as long as a person starves for six or seven days, the subconscious survival instinct will begin to activate the beastly nature hidden under the appearance of civilization.

When this kind of animality reaches a certain level, not to mention treating the same kind as food, even more disgusting things such as excrement, cockroaches, rats, etc., will also desperately stuff them into their mouths.

It may be a bit too absolute to say that 100% of people can withstand hunger, but more than 99% is absolutely true.

He didn't care about the girl's overreaction to the cannibalism, and continued to ask, "What about the contents of the suicide note? Did he mention the specific details of the apocalypse? Did he leave any details about the magic of Valyria?"

"I mentioned a little bit about the apocalypse. According to his description, loud shouts and screams were heard, then the ground shook violently, and before long a deafening loud sound echoed over the city. He tried to open the door to the chamber and go out to see what was really going on. Unfortunately, the door had triggered some kind of protective measure, sealing the inside completely. In addition, he mentioned that the shaking was originally transmitted from the southeast. As for the magic mastered by the Valyrians, it is all recorded on a huge dragon crystal tablet, hidden in the deepest part of the tower's beneath. ”

With that, little Celine pointed to a statue of a dragon about three meters tall not far away.

Obviously, this statue is the entrance to the depths.

When Zhang Cheng heard this, he immediately walked close and carefully observed every detail of the statue.

After a while, he noticed that the red gem set in the position of the dragon's eye seemed to be a little different from ordinary gemstones.

To confirm his guess, he raised the staff in his hand and poked it.

Moment!

A blazing flame erupted from the dragon's mouth!

Thankfully, he reacted quickly and rolled in time to avoid the front of the flames.

In just a few seconds, the stone slabs laid on the ground began to melt, turning into a pool of magma that emitted a terrifying heat.

"Damn! Valyrians really like fire spells......" Zhang Cheng quickly pulled off his lit cloak and grumbled through gritted teeth.

You must know that he has only started exploring the ruins for less than half a day, and he has already encountered two fire attacks, and there will definitely be more to come.

It's no wonder that many people say that Valyria's magic is blood and fire, and now it seems to be true.

As the flames from the dragon's mouth grew smaller and vanished, a tunnel emerged that led deeper into the depths.

Unlike the previous ones, there is no light inside this tunnel, and there is no ornate decoration, and the sides are just rough rock.

Against the heat wave emitted by the magma, Zhang Cheng bent down and passed through the dragon's mouth, which was only less than one meter and a half, and took out a pearl that emitted a milky white soft light.

With the help of the faint light, he saw that the winding tunnel was like a spiral staircase, leading to a deeper place, and the further down it went, the warmer the surroundings became, and in some places even beyond the limits of human tolerance.

"Interesting, this can't be an active volcano, right?" Zhang Cheng muttered to himself with narrowed eyes.

As a cautious man, he didn't plan to go deeper, at least not before he finished his preparations, and he didn't know what dangerous things were hiding at the end of the bottomless tunnel.

"Do you think there really is a tablet down there that contains the magic of the Valyrians?" asked little Celine with a curious expression.

"Of course! How could a man who knew he was dying lie and deceive? I was just a little worried about whether there was anything other than the slate. Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"And when are we going to go in?" the girl asked, her eyes lit up.

Zhang Cheng smiled and stretched out a finger and shook it in front of little Celine: "No, no, no, it's me, it's not us, you just stay in the camp honestly." It's too dangerous for you. ”

"Hey, that's not fair! I helped you find the entrance! You can't go on an adventure alone! You have to take me!"

As soon as he heard that he didn't plan to take himself, the little guy immediately stopped doing it and loudly defended his rights and interests.

For her, this trip is probably the most exciting and only adventure of her life, so she doesn't want to miss it anyway.

"Hahahaha! Fun? How did you tell I was enjoying the adventure? Remember the sailors and soldiers outside? Do you know why I took them with me?" Zhang Cheng asked with a laugh.

Celine hesitated for a few seconds, and quickly shook her head: "I don't know ......"

"It's okay, I don't know I can tell you. They are consumables, cannon fodder used to send death and delay time at critical moments!" Zhang Cheng's eyes flashed with a cold light, directly breaking the unrealistic illusions in the girl's heart.
