"Countless enraged commoners, hundreds of thousands strong, armed with whatever they could find."
"Torches, pitchforks, hammers, cleavers... They surged towards the Dragonpit like an unstoppable black tide."
"The Gold Cloaks, who usually swaggered about, were terrified out of their wits. They had never seen such a frenzied crowd, and many dropped their weapons and fled."
"The gates of the Dragonpit were smashed open, and the roars of the dragons echoed from within. Their enraged bellows made the entire hill tremble, and dragonfire swept out, instantly incinerating those at the forefront."
"No one retreated. The people's fury was hotter and more insane than the dragonfire. The crowd pressed forward, one after another, vowing to slay these beasts."
"A golden dragon descended from the sky—Syrax, Rhaenyra Targaryen's golden dragon."
"A brave devout knight charged forward, wielding a black longsword that shimmered with an unusual light in the fire. He roared, striking Syrax's wing with a single blow, but the next second, he was completely engulfed by the golden dragonfire."
"The sword clanged to the ground."
"I recognized it. It was Lamentation, the Valyrian Steel sword we confiscated from the criminal Willem Royce."
"I didn't think; my body moved on its own. I rushed towards the sword, the scorching flames burning my skin, but I didn't care. I picked it up."
Jero's breathing grew heavy. He gripped the sword in his hand. This was truly a Valyrian Steel sword, a house sword of a great noble family of the Vale. No, it belonged to him now.
It belonged to the Legge Family.
"I dodged a fatal blast of dragonfire, closed in, and with one swing, struck Syrax's massive leg, covered in golden scales."
"The Valyrian Steel sword cut through the dragon scales, and scalding dragon blood gushed out, splashing all over me. It was so hot, like boiling water. Syrax let out a painful roar."
"Its massive tail swept across fiercely. I couldn't dodge in time and was heavily flung away."
"I heard the sound of my ribs breaking, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out, but I had to get up because behind me were countless unarmed people."
"Syrax lowered its head, preparing to unleash a final strike on me. I saw its eyes, those golden vertical pupils burning with rage."
"Just as it opened its massive mouth to unleash dragonfire, I saw an opportunity."
"I used all my strength, enduring the dragonfire, raising Lamentation high above my head, running and leaping, pouring all the anger and hatred of my life into a downward chop!"
"The sword plunged into the dragon's neck. Boiling dragon blood sprayed all over me like a geyser, almost cooking me alive."
"Syrax let out one last mournful shriek, a sound filled with unwillingness and pain. Its massive body crashed down, raising a cloud of dust."
"The Queen's mount, a symbol of the Targaryen dynasty, died at the hands of an unknown nobody, at the hands of us commoners whom they regarded as ants."
"The crowd was first silent, then erupted into deafening cheers. They lifted me high, shouting my name, calling me the Dragonslayer."
"My life was about to end; my entire body was burned beyond recognition by the dragonfire."
"People embraced me one by one. They said, 'You are not a traitor, Fallow; you are a warrior of the Seven Gods.'"
Sir Adam's voice suddenly stopped. This section was heavily corrupted, and the rest was some abstruse content, but the Old Knight still accurately spotted one sentence.
"The most valuable thing on me is not this sword, but the secret I brought back from the Targaryen Dragonpit…
"King… True Dragon… Blood… Awaken… Magic dragon in stone…"
He walked over and continued rummaging through the tomb chamber but found nothing.
Jero Legge slowly stood up. He looked down at Lamentation in his hand, then let out a low, disdainful laugh:
