The history books recorded the doomsday catastrophe, but they also raised questions about the catastrophe, although volcanic eruptions and earthquakes caused great damage to the Free Fortress of Valyria.
But after investigation, it was found that the entire Valyria Freehold was destroyed too thoroughly, and not even a single dragon flying in the sky escaped.
Nearly forty families of Dragon Kings were nearly wiped out, and the dragon eggs could not escape the fate of being destroyed.
In the immediate aftermath of the catastrophe, the Sea of Smoke had not yet formed, and the ruins of Valyria had not yet been dubbed the Devil's Land.
As investigators and explorers disappeared one after another in the ruins of Valyria, the climate there became increasingly harsh.
Not only did it form a huge sea tornado that swept across the sky and earth, but it also caused long-lasting smoke and it was also said that there were demons and sea monsters lurking inside.
At first, the changes in the ruins of Valyria did not attract much attention. It was not until almost no one who entered the ruins survived that people in the surrounding areas gradually believed that a terrible change had occurred in the ruins of Valyria that they were unaware of.
Although explorers disappeared one by one in the ruins of Valyria, the glorious civilization of Valyria and the temptation of dragons still attracted the attention of many pirates, explorers, and even countries.
Like moths to a flame, they rushed forward one after another and risked their lives. Volantis, one of the nine free trade cities, once sent a fleet to explore the ruins of Valyria and obtain their powerful civilization heritage.
But without exception, they all died in the ruins of Valyria, and no one escaped.
If Euron really entered here as he said and obtained the Dragon Horn, then even Drogon would have to admire his boldness and luck.
This hellish place is so difficult to explore that even short-term survival is extremely difficult. I really don't know how he found the Dragon Horn.
If the history books only suspected that there was something fishy about the destruction of the Valyrian Freehold, Drogon was 100% sure that there was something fishy going on.
The Doom of the Freehold of Valyria occurred more than four hundred years ago. Even after so long, Drogon can still feel the breath of the gods, which shows how great their contribution was to the Doom of the Freehold of Valyria.
The dragon kings of Valyria's ruling class do not believe in any gods. They believe that since they have dragons and magic, they no longer need to pray to any gods.
But they did not stop the gods' followers from preaching in the Valyrian Freehold.
According to what Daenerys heard from her brother Viserys at the time, the reason why the Dragon King's family allowed the believers of the gods to preach was that
The purpose was to divide their forces and prevent them from joining forces to rebel against the rule of the Valyrian Freehold.
But they would never have imagined that the gods did not use their believers to fight against them, but took action themselves to completely destroy them, as well as their glorious civilization and the giant dragon that was the foundation of their rule.
Only the true dragon blood of the Targaryen family sensed the doom of Valyria from the dragon dream, and moved the entire clan to Dragonstone, thus being able to continue the family line and preserve the last five true dragons in the world.
After a hundred years of recuperation, Aegon the Conqueror relied on his three living dragons to unify the Seven Kingdoms, forge the Iron Throne, and continue the Targaryen family's three hundred years of rule.
Drogon believed that the gods could only rely on their believers to manipulate real disputes, or use invisible hands to manipulate people's consciousness, just like the red woman Melisandre used leeches to curse the false king.
After learning the cause of the Doomsday catastrophe at the Freehold of Valyria, Drogon realized that the power of the gods had become strong enough to launch a large-scale catastrophic attack.
He didn't know whether this ability was magic or something else. At first, ordinary dragons couldn't resist the burning of the earth fire, but now he was not afraid of the earth fire, and even taking a bath in magma had no problem.
But the power of the gods is definitely not limited to this. The wizard Haiya is just a servant of the immortal, but he possesses the ability to teleport and transform.
The red-robed woman is not only proficient in shadow spells, but can also enchant weapons with fire and resurrect Jon.
The green prophet Bran can see the past and the future, and the Night King can create an army of the dead on a large scale.
And what about me? After absorbing the divine light, I can barely be considered a god, but apart from being able to eat, change size, and having a strong body, I have no other abilities.
If a god wanted to deal with him, could he rely on his physical strength to deal with their strange methods?
Drogon lacked confidence in himself, but he had no good means for the time being.
He decided to eat until he was fully full at every meal in the future to make his body stronger and become an invincible dragon god.
The deeper he went into the sea of smoke, the more Drogon was amazed at the power of the gods. How could those gods carry out such a large-scale catastrophic attack?
Even with the combined power of all gods it is still too incredible!
As he went deeper into the sea of smoke, he saw more land and the ruins of castles and palaces on it.
Thinking that Euron might have found the Dragon Horn here, Drogon couldn't help but want to explore inside, perhaps finding some treasures left over from the Valyrian period.
After walking back and forth in the collapsed and ruined buildings several times, Drogon did not see anything valuable, only debris and broken shipwrecks on the ground.
Moreover, it was obvious that the contents had been searched several times, perhaps even dozens of times, and not a single valuable thing was left.
So where did Euron find the Dragon Horn? Seeing that the horn was intact, it was impossible to find it in a collapsed building. Could it be found underground or in a shipwreck on the seabed? Drogon looked around and guessed.
But he didn't have the energy to search through the wreckage to see if there were any deeper structures.
As for going into the sea, he can indeed dive for a while, but he can't stand exploring shipwrecks in the deep sea for a long time.
If you have that much time, you might as well stroll around the Dothraki Avenue of the Gods, where you might find something related to the gods.
Giving up the treasure hunt plan, drogon planned to take a quick tour around the sea of smoke and then go back.
The Mother of Dragons must have been getting impatient waiting. His purpose of coming here to investigate had been achieved, and there was no point in staying any longer.
The land ahead seemed to be very large, so drogon guessed that he should have reached the northernmost part of the Sea of Smoke. That continent might be the Land of Long Summer.
The smoke on the sea surface became thinner and thinner. After breaking through the northern boundary of the sea of smoke, he flew west for a while and circled back to the fleet.
As they approached the land, Drogon suddenly saw a huge fiery red tree on the shore in the distance.
Could it be?
In order to verify his thoughts, he flapped his wings vigorously twice and came to the big tree.
It was indeed a weirwood tree, and looking at the huge human face on the trunk confirmed what he had thought.
The trunk of the fish beam tree is like a white bone that has not been eroded by the wind, the leaves are like human hands, and a weeping human face is engraved in the middle of the trunk.
Looking at this ancient weirwood, Drogon suddenly recalled the days when he was a social animal in his previous life. An inexplicable anger emerged in his heart, and he had an urge to vent.
