Chapter 317 Miracle Recovery

"Maybe it's fallen into some kind of imaginary state."

Viserys was silent for a moment, then spoke up.

"Everyone has heard the legend of sea monsters in the sea of ​​smoke before."

In this world, the imagination of sea monsters is mostly limited to tentacle monsters that look like giant octopuses and squid.

For example, the big golden squid from the Greyjoy family.

There are also a small number of people who think of sea monsters as giant whales. After all, that kind of behemoth is a well-deserved overlord in the ocean even if it does not grow into a sea monster.

It's just that these creatures are docile in character and don't look ferocious in appearance, so there are fewer legends that imagine sea monsters as whales.

"The root of terror is actually the fear in people's hearts."

"Everyone has heard that there are sea monsters in the sea of ​​smoke, and the existence of the gray fog arouses their inner fear, making them mistakenly think that they have been attacked by sea monsters, so..."

The young man with long silver and blond hair was sitting on the bed, his brain was running fast trying to explain the mystery, but his words stopped abruptly here.

"So. what?"

"Eamon."

And Mia wiped off the blood on the dagger, she has calmed down a lot now, and then raised her head and asked.

"Isn't there a way to explain that these recruited people will only attack sober humans, not their 'kind'?"

"If it's just pure speculation, they should kill everyone around them."

"People who have fallen into madness should not be able to clearly distinguish between enemy and friend."

Mia and Viserys both observed just now that all the red-eyed mad people are besieging the awake humans.

However, they do not attack each other, and they can even cooperate with each other. The cooperation is perfect and there is no accidental injury. They are like clear-headed people.

"That's right."

Viserys frowned slightly when he heard Mia's words and nodded.

He was really confused about this issue too, and didn't know why this happened.

But because of Jillian's diary, Viserys knew more than Mia.

He knew that there was indeed a sea monster in the sea of ​​smoke, because Jillian had encountered it before, and everyone on the boat paid a great price to finally escape to that lost continent.

Once Viserys believed in Jillian's diary, but now Viserys suddenly doubts the authenticity of this diary.

He did not doubt that the diary was forged by Jillian, just to lure him to explore the ruins of Valyria.

Because even if Jillian does not need to design and lure him, he will definitely come here in the future, and this is the key to solving the mystery of the black fog.

What he doubted was what was described in Jillian's letter.

Sea monsters... are they real?

The fleet that Jillian mentioned in his diary was attacked by a sea monster, and all the crew members rose up to resist and cut off the tentacles of the sea monster.

Although the crew suffered heavy losses in the end, they escaped the attack of the sea monster.

Viserys has some doubts in his heart now, is it really a 'sea monster' that Jillian saw at that time?

Or just like what Viserys experienced and happened in front of him, it's all imaginary in people's hearts, and then kill each other, but in fact there is no such thing as sea monsters.

"Then Aemon, what should we do now?"

Then the room fell into silence again, and after a while, the red-haired girl asked again.

She has no idea now. Now that people are on the sea, the people on the boat are in a frenzy to kill each other. If they continue to wait here, they will be found and killed by these people sooner or later.

And now jumping ship to survive, not to mention that in the sea of ​​​​smoky danger, even in the sea outside, it is an act of death.

Mia turned to Viserys for help, and Viserys was hesitant to summon Balerion now.

Or... he killed everyone here himself.

And at this time.

The sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the room where the two were staying.

It turned out that the sound of fighting above his head had completely stopped for some time, and there was even a voice of speaking.

The captain seemed to be directing the sailors to the rescue, as if nothing had happened.

"Um?"

"Who's in the house?"

And a mercenary who walked outside the door of Viserys and Mia seemed to hear movement in the house, and suddenly asked nervously.

But the two people in the room were even more nervous, including Viserys. The two looked at each other and couldn't figure out the details of the person outside the door.

living person? Or dead? Or is it a state between madness and still logic?

However, it is obvious that it is not good to stay in the house and pretend to be dead. The people outside the door have been slamming the door more and more intensely, and they seem to be calling for their companions.

Even if you kill him and run away, is now the best chance?

Otherwise, it will be even more troublesome when the other party calls a companion.

Viserys and Mia looked at each other and understood.

Then the silver-haired young man stood up first, holding the hilt of the sword in one hand and came to the door.

Mia, on the other hand, hid aside, ready to pierce the opponent's throat with a dagger at any time.

click.

Then Viserys opened the door abruptly.

Clang——

Seeing that the door was suddenly opened, the person outside seemed more nervous than Viserys.

He took out the long sword from his waist and stepped back a few steps, but after seeing the young man in front of him, he let out a small breath and retracted the sword into its scabbard.

"Aemon, it's you."

It was Dick, who lived in the same bedroom with Viserys.

He was also the first to start coughing, and now his body is covered in blood, and it looks like he has just experienced a fierce battle.

"Hey, and Mia, are you hiding here?"

Dick also saw the girl hiding by the side, and then said hello naturally.

Running away is a very normal thing for mercenaries, he just didn't seize the opportunity to escape, otherwise he would definitely not have fought bloody battles with sea monsters until now.

But if everyone on this ship just wanted to escape, it would be a matter of time before the entire army was wiped out.

Dick shrugged slightly.

"The sea monster has been repelled by us, and many brothers have been killed and injured."

"You can come out."

"Has the sea monster been repelled?"

And Viserys and Mia looked at each other again, and both saw the deep puzzlement in each other's eyes.

"what's the situation?"

Mia asked in a low voice in Viserys' ear.

"what is the problem…"

And Viserys frowned slightly, looking up and down at Dick in front of him, feeling that he was trapped in a fog, unable to find logic.

Dick looks perfectly normal these days, speaking logically, without any aggression, and his eyes aren't blood red.

But if what you see is true.

Then... what happened just now?
