Chapter 725 The Mystery of the Sea Monster

Maester Syllen, whose real name is Syllen Pike, was an illegitimate son of the Iron Islands who lived about a century ago.

He has a deep research on marine life and is one of the most professional scholars in related fields. He is dedicated to researching and looking for evidence of the existence of some ancient sea monsters.

The monster described by Asha appeared in his manuscript "The Strange Stone", and was named "Deep Diver" by the Schierren Maester.

Maester Syllen has found the remains of such monsters and believes that they are the prototypes of the mermaid myth, and their ancestors, the sea creatures, are the prototypes of the worship of the Drowned God.

He also said that the ancient buildings on the island, the foundations of the towering towers and the seat of the sea stone were all built by a similar black stone, and the origin of these buildings was unknown, so he presumed that they were all deep divers creation.

However, his assumption was later overturned by another doctor in the city. Dr. Corleone believed that although the foundations of the Sea Stone and the Tower were made of black stone, they were not the same kind of black stone.

Because Sea Stone is a kind of oily black stone with some greasy surface, which seems to absorb all light, while the foundation of the towering tower is a kind of dry black stone. The touch and appearance of the surface are completely different from Sea Stone.

And the position of the sea stone is a naturally formed strange stone, no one knows who its creator is, even according to the legend, before the ancestors landed on the Iron Islands, this black stone was lying quietly on Old Wake Island. on the beach, which Maester Koth speculates was brought and left by a visitor from the Sunset beyond.

The ancient buildings on the Battle Island obviously have traces of artificial carving, and are the same as the blackstone buildings left by many Valyrian dragon kings in Dragonstone Island and the trading city-state.

It is suspected that a guest riding a giant dragon visited the old town many years ago, but according to current history and archaeology, it is impossible to show that there have been Valyrians who came to such a remote place as the old town.

These are crucial evidences for the time of the dragon's existence to move forward, because the specific time of the ancient building traces on the island can be traced back to the time before the ancestors came to Westeros. This statement also adds to the Vale Leah Source said.

Because some maesters believe that they originated from the area of ​​what is now the old town of Westeros, they coexisted peacefully with the children of the forest, and the history of the Valyrians is older than the First Men's Landing.

Their priests foretold a crisis that would sweep the world in the future of Westeros, that is, the coming of the long night, so the Valyrians fled their homeland.

However, the Valyrian origin theory has no conclusive evidence to prove it.

And although Dr. Corleone overturned Maester Syllen's hypothesis on the homology of Black Rock, he also affirmed the existence of the 'Deep diver'.

He believes that the remains of the ancient buildings on the Battle Island and the labyrinth-builders of Loras are the same kind of people, because they both make the buildings into labyrinths. However, in the ancient legends of Loras, these labyrinth builders were eventually perished by sea creatures Yes, a deep diver or a mermaid who is suspected to be half-man, half-fish.

At present, the academic community is generally inconclusive about whether the deep diver is a mermaid or a mermaid, but some bachelors hold this view.

"I was targeted by a mermaid?"

And Asha Greyjoy was slightly stunned after hearing the explanation of the Supreme Priest Benello.

She never really believed in these ghosts and gods, but the one who attacked her yesterday was indeed a monster, but when she thought of the appearance of the other party, the sharp fangs were stained with blood and flesh, the scales and smooth skin all over the place, a pair of scarlet s eyes

Asha shivered slightly. It was difficult for her to associate this monster with the legendary mermaid who was beautiful and gentle.

People believe that the greatest king of the ancient Iron Islands, the Grey Sea King, once married a mermaid and gave birth to a hundred sons. When Asha heard this story when she was a child, she curiously asked her fourth uncle, Ellen, if there was nothing under the mermaid. That thing, how did the Grey Sea King marry the mermaid and give birth to a hundred sons?

Asha once peeked through the door and watched adults move on the bed, and even played her brother Theon's little Tintin, so she matured earlier than anyone else, and Ellen Greyjoy was stunned by her niece's innocence. defeated, and never told her a story since.

And Asha now thinks of the story of the mermaid that Uncle Iron told her, and then thinks of the monster she encountered last night, and she feels a deep chill.

If the mermaid is really the same thing as that monster, then she really admires the Grey Sea King. As expected of the warrior who killed Hailong Naga, she is indeed a werewolf.

"But it doesn't matter, Lord Messenger."

"Although the power of the evil god is terrible, it is destined to be unable to compete with the true god."

And the tall priest of the Red God Sect, who is thin and tall with prominent facial features, said in a light voice.

He had already noticed some kind of evil entanglement from Asha's body, and he suspected that something bad was staring at her.

But Benello didn't expect that the other party would shoot so quickly, and it was still in the bustling Upper Town of Volantis. This city is the headquarters of the Red God Cult. This monster is too ignorant of him.

"You are being targeted by the servants of the evil god. You need to be protected by the power of the true god. Otherwise, it will find you sooner or later after it heals. At that time, I am afraid that you will not be able to escape so easily."

Benero is telling the truth, this monster is a half-man, half-fish existence, so it is not friendly to attack on land, especially in a bustling big city like Volantis.

And Asha will leave sooner or later by boat, but at that time, when she arrives at the sea, she will come to the other party's territory, and this monster may come to her door at any time.

At that time, there may not be a Victarion who jumped out to block the other party. Although Victarion has passed the dangerous period, he still has a high fever, and there will be absolutely no way to recover for a while.

And the other side eats a cut to grow a wisdom, even the most mentally handicapped animal knows this truth, let alone such a monster, the next time it attacks again, I am afraid that Asha will not be able to escape so easily.

"This…"

The black short-haired woman's face became a little gloomy when she heard Benello's words.

She knew that the other party wanted to convert her to the faith of the Red God. Benello was worthy of being the supreme priest of the Red God, and he did not forget to preach at this time.

But she was born as an iron seed and holds herself to be the true heir of the Iron Islands. Although she is not a drowned man, and she may not be so firm in her belief in the Drowned God, she also cannot easily betray the Drowned God, otherwise even her subordinates There is no way to explain, I am afraid she will leave.

"I cannot betray the Drowned God."

Asha's face was gloomy and uncertain, she thought for a while, and finally shook her head and said.
