After a while, in a secluded corner far away from the bonfire, only the sound of wind whistled in my ears.

Being blown by the night breeze, Will was mostly awake from the wine. He had no idea why he wanted to see him alone. Faced with Suleiman's serious and scrutinizing eyes, he seemed a little embarrassed.

"Will, tell me carefully what you saw." Suleiman's voice was very calm. "What does its head look like?"

Will trembled nervously, trying to remember. "The head is very big, and on it... there are many thick horns, curved, like the horns of an old goat, but bigger, thicker, and darker."

"The mouth is very big and long, and the teeth...:... the teeth are like huge black blades, intertwined."

"Its body is like a mountain"

Bryn frowned and turned to look at Suleiman nervously. Isn't this kid just describing the legendary stories told by civilians on the streets? He was afraid that his brother would be punished, so he hurriedly spoke:

"Sir Suleiman, the words of a drunkard cannot be taken seriously. People in the streets and alleys say that Balerion the Black Dread is described in this way."

"Or that's how every dragon is described."

Suleiman's expression did not change, and he was noncommittal. He just raised his hand to signal Bryn to calm down. His eyes were still locked on Will, indicating for him to continue, "Didn't you say he is a stone?"

Master Suleiman did not laugh at himself. After receiving encouragement, Will's chat box seemed to be opened. "It is indeed a stone! Master!"

I didn't lie to you!"

"Only the eyes are moving! Otherwise I would be swallowed by it in one breath! Its big mouth can fit into a big house! Seven!"

Will seemed to be trapped in his own memories, his eyes were blank, and he murmured to himself, "Those eyes... Its eyes are black. They emit light in the dark, and are frighteningly bright in the dark. They keep staring at me, staring at me, and following me."

"Are those eyes red or black?" Bryn yelled angrily, "You kid is not allowed to drink anymore from today!!!"

"Really!!! I really saw it!!" Will's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of doubtful grievance, "I remembered it was green! It was green!!!"

Bryn:"

"Didn't you say that its eyes are looking at you?" Suleiman was a little confused, this kid is a bit too unreliable.

"I was too drunk at the time...::.. Sir." Will blushed a little, put his hands together, and kept kneading it. "I don't remember it too lightly... otherwise I wouldn't dare to go up and touch its body."

Suleiman was silent and did not ask any more details, "Can you still find that place?"

"Yes..." Will nodded, then shook his head, "No...

Put a finger on his face, it's Suleiman.

"You kid better remember it!"

"Otherwise!"

Will waved his hands to his chest and kept shaking. His hands were shaking a little, and he started to vomit when he spoke:

"I was really drunk at the time, sir...:

"I just remember that it was a cave located in the middle of the mountain. The entrance was blocked by countless tangled and dense vines. I opened several layers of vines and crawled inside."

"It's a very big cave entrance. I stood at the entrance and felt like an ant."

"The stone dragon is coiled in the innermost part, with its head at the door, almost occupying the entire space."

"It was so dark, I could only see two dark places, like clear eyes."

"Then... then I seemed to see a light inside, green... or maybe it was the light from the fire, but red::. I don't know, I really don't know!"

"Bryn is right! You must stop drinking from tomorrow!" Suleiman grabbed Will's wine glass and poured it down his throat. In Westeros, or in this world, anything related to the word dragon may contain the power to subvert everything. Countless people flocked to it, but they did not expect it to come from the mouth of a drunkard.

Bryn couldn't bear it anymore. He took a step forward and grabbed Will's collar. His teeth chattered. He hated this young man for doing this to him.

"You idiot! What nonsense are you talking about!" His voice was suppressed with anger, like a beast about to explode, but he was not angry more than he hated iron. "Look at what you are like now!!! What a life you have become!!!"

Will was shaken to pieces by him, his eyes were red, he lowered his head, his eyes were full of confusion, regret, and shame.

Suleiman raised his hand and grabbed Bryn's hand, which was holding Will's, and signaled Bryn to let go. Bryn let go, and Will immediately collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

"Hey..." Suleiman sighed and squatted down, his eyes level with Will. He stretched out a finger and lightly tapped Will's forehead. "I need useful people, not drunkards. From today on, if I see you drunk again...

Nian Suleiman understands Will's experience and the idea of using alcohol to numb himself, but people still have to save themselves after all. If you even give up on yourself, only God will help.

Bryn stood aside with a livid face, watching Will sobbing and wiping away tears. He only hoped that Master Suleiman's words would make the young man sober up.

Suleiman retracted his finger, stood up, and looked at the night sky silently, a story full of holes, an unverifiable location,

But he happened to see a strange vision, and his curiosity could not be suppressed.

Why did you show me the vision? Should you perform a "sacrifice" like last time? He now knows why in A Song of Ice and Fire, after people use sacrifice, they eventually get out of control, as if they are addicted.

It is too stupid to send people to the depths of Mountains of the Moon, venture into the controlled area of Wildlings, and search for a "stone dragon" that may not exist at all because of what an alcoholic may only be talking about in his sleep.

Suleiman knows that he is actually very curious about supernatural power in his heart. In other words, no Easterner can resist supernatural charm, magic, dragons, and mystery.

I don't know whether I should light the flame again, what items are needed to light the flame, what actions or words, and what impact it will have.

"Take him back, Bryn." Suleiman turned to look at Bryn, and finally reason prevailed.

Bryn breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Suleiman would chop off Will's head in anger. He grabbed Will's arm and prepared to drag him away.

Just after taking two steps, Will struggled and suddenly stopped. He turned around suddenly, as if he remembered some life-saving straw, raised a finger high, and shouted excitedly:

"Wait! Master Suleiman! I remembered! I remembered everything!"

Product." Suleiman slowly turned around, covered his face with his palms, and his voice came out through gritted teeth between his fingers: "You are riding a horse, what did you think of again?"

"Fire! It's fire!" Will's face flushed with excitement. "It's green eyes!! There was fire shooting into the sky that night! That's why its eyes are red! I'm not lying!"

Before he finished speaking, Bryn couldn't bear it anymore. He was talking drunkenly again. They were in the Wildlings control area at that time. How could they dare to light a fire? If there was a huge fire, why didn't they see it? He raised his foot and put it on Will's butt.

"Get out!"

Will let out a scream, threw himself forward, was picked up by Bra and disappeared into the dark forest.
