A blinding flash of lightning streaked across the clear sky.
The sharp golden-blue lightning violently tore the sky in half! Boom! What followed was a deafening thunder, as if the roar of the gods was echoing in the world.
Unlike ordinary thunder and lightning, this bolt from the blue carried a mysterious and destructive power, striking straight to the ground.
With a loud bang, the earth trembled and cracked under this force, as if the surface of the world was being ruthlessly peeled off.
Amid the flying sand and rocks, a cloud of dust rose into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, blurring people's vision.
When the dust gradually dissipated, everyone was surprised to find that a huge crack had appeared on the originally flat ground, and in the crack, an ancient relic that had been buried by time was revealed.
The ruins exude an ancient atmosphere, as if telling a long-forgotten history.
The stone walls of the ruins are carved with complex totems and texts. Although they have been weathered and blurred, one can still feel the wisdom and mystery contained in them.
And from deep within the ruins, one could faintly hear bursts of low resonances, as if the echo of ancient civilization was calling out to future generations.
"These words are in Valyrian..."
Fang Yan only took a glance and had an idea in his mind, "Is this the specific thing that will be manifested when [Super High School Level Luck] is transferred to my world and combined with the power of the gods?"
He was the first to step into the ruins, his eyes focused on the two Valyrian sphinx statues.
As a mythical creature, known as a sphinx, it has a human head and a dragon-like body, and the Valyrians built these huge statues.
"Well, these things have a longer history than the Targaryens."
Fang Yan explained to the people around him, "The Dragon King Family is the collective name for the forty noble families in the Valyrian Freehold."
"They can control dragons with binding spells and magic horns."
"And the Targaryen family is just one of the forty dragon king families."
"Unfortunately, the Doomsday event, in which all of Valyria's volcanoes erupted simultaneously, killed nearly all of the dragonlords and their dragons."
"Along with most advanced magic and dragon technology, it has been lost in the depths of history."
Natural disasters are so terrible.
After all, all the technological development of civilization on the human planet, even if it has developed to the level of the late Three-Body Problem, cannot withstand the close-range erosion of a black hole - that is also a natural disaster.
After the Doom of Valyria, what remained of the sphinxes fell into ruins, though sphinx statues can still be seen in Essos and Westeros as decorative objects and symbols of wealth and influence.
Fang Yan stared at the many statues in front of him and placed his hands on them.
The blood magic similar to DNA verification proved that his true identity was the descendant of the Dragon King, and thus the gate of the ruins quietly awakened.
Buzz buzz buzz...
The heavy stone door burst open.
Spells, magic, and unconventional technology were used to build these ruins, and glossy garnet eyes smoldered in the black marble faces of sphinxes.
"This relic was obviously left behind before the Doomsday catastrophe."
Fang Yan: "It contains many lost Valyrian magics, spells, and smelting techniques."
"It will also be the starting point for me to declare the revival of the Targaryen family and even to establish the Dynasty of the God-Emperor."
Looking at the strokes filled with ancient Valyria's dragon-riding techniques, Fang Yan raised the corners of his lips and said meaningfully, "The Trident is really a blessed place~"
"It is a good opportunity to confer the title of the three Dragon Kings here, and let them each take charge of a river basin."
[Sacred Numbers] are a cultural phenomenon involving the worship of specific numbers by various ethnic groups.
The understanding and application of sacred numbers vary in different cultures, and are even diametrically opposed - Chinese culture believes that 6 represents success and auspiciousness, while Western culture believes that 6 represents the devil and corruption.
Lao Tzu said, "Three gives birth to all things." Everything related to immortality and creation in the Classic of Mountains and Seas is also the number three.
The [Sacred Number] Fang Yan chose for himself was three! The area beneath his feet was called the Trident River, a river in the Riverlands.
It is divided into three tributaries: Red Fork River, Green Fork River and Blue Fork River.
In peacetime, the tributaries of the Trident were the most convenient way to transport people and supplies across the Riverlands.
The more recent Battle of Green Fork took place on the west bank of the Green Fork River.
Because of this battle, at Riverrun, Robb Stark was crowned king by the lords of the North and the Riverlands.
As the place where the dragon rises, the Trident River is fully qualified.
Among the ruins, dozens of dragon eggs were discovered by Fang Yan.
At the same time, there are also documents and pattern materials on mature dragon egg hatching technology.
"It requires the blood of the Dragon King to complete the hatching?"
Fang Yan looked at the ancient stone murals, read the Valyrian words on them, and said faintly: "So Dany hatched three dragon eggs just by chance."
"Moreover, the innate essence is insufficient, the growth time is limited, and the combat power it can bring is also extremely limited."
"And I can make some modifications to these technologies and prove my Dragon Ripening Technology through practice to see if it is feasible."
When Fang Yan walked out of the ruins, he immediately reached out his hand and pointed at the thatched hut where Arya was hiding: "I am very interested in this girl. Don't let her run away. Give her VIP treatment for the time being."
Sandor, who used to be a hound and now holds the title of "Three-Headed Dog of Inferno", opened his mouth when he heard this, but chewed up the words and swallowed them back into his stomach.
Since my new owner said so, he must know more than me.
Judging from his appearance, he probably has no ill will towards Arya...
A month passed quietly.
During this month, Fang Yan and his army turned the tables and became the actual rulers of the Frey family's territory. They invited all the lords they could contact, announced that they would hold the [Ceremony of the Return of the Dragonborn], and hatch three dragon kings in public.
Targaryen, dragon eggs, hatching real dragons.
With these three key words linked together, and coupled with the military might displayed by Fang Yan, almost all the lords who received the invitation, accompanied by their guards, arrived in the Twins City in time!
The so-called Twins are located on the northernmost branch of the Trident.
It has been the home of House Frey for 600 years - they grew wealthy by charging exorbitant tolls for crossing the bridge.
As a fortress at the river crossing, the Twins consist of two castles on both sides of the Green Fork and a stone arch bridge connecting them.
Because there were so many lords coming, the banquet hall of the Twins was completely inadequate.
An open-air feast was held.
The rich aroma of food permeates the air.
Wine, spirits, fresh mussels, musk fish, frogs, turtles, mud crabs…
Flower crabs, climbing crabs, red eels, black eels, striped eels, lampreys…
Oysters, dried fruit bread, elk soup, crème brûlée...
The wide variety of delicious food and wine is dazzling.
As the host of this ceremony and banquet, Fang Yan did not go to entertain the lords of high status.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he walked straight to Arya Stark and said out of the blue, "You and Daenerys have a good compatibility. How about becoming my concubine?"
