Chapter 292 Conversation

"Four dragons?" Old Aemon was shocked.

Dany lifted the cloak, took out the warm red dragon egg from her pocket, and smiled at the old man: "The other two will help me guard Slaver's Bay, and soon there will be five."

"This..." the old man was shocked beyond words when he looked at the dragon egg covered with red fine scales.

"It's about to be born?" Aemon said dryly.

"About a week."

"So fast?" Barristan on the side said in surprise: "The golden dragon last time was nearly ten months old, and this time the dragon egg has been hatched in less than 20 days?"

"Ten months?" Old Aemon smiled wryly, "Egg, he just took the dragon eggs and put them in the wildfire without even a single day's delay."

Well, Aemon's younger brother Egg, Aegon V, Daenerys' great-grandfather, was the one who caused the Summerhall tragedy.

Yi Ge prepared seven dragon eggs, several monks of the Seven Gods, alchemists (fire wizards), and a large number of wild fire pots, and hatched dragons in Midsummer Hall.

What exactly happened at that time, even Xuecheng didn't figure it out.Some Ph.D.s see an insurrection, while others in history characterize it as wildfire out of control.

In short, except for the loss of seven precious dragon eggs, Egg and his eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law (Prince Dragonfly and Janey of Wild Rock City) all died in the fire.

Coincidentally, the day of the tragic death of the 'First Generation Ex-Marriage Man' coincided with the birth of the 'Second Generation Ex-Marriage Man' Rega.

That's right, Rhaegar was born on the night of Summerhall's fire, and he was even born in Summerhall—Queen Rhella also participated in the dragon hatching ceremony.

What's more coincidental, not long after the death of the second generation Rega, the 'third generation ex-married man' Robb was born.

Here, are you doing a relay race?

Or, like the chakra reincarnation of Indra and Asura, the "soul of violating the sacred marriage contract" is also constantly reincarnated?

Then who might take over as the "Fourth Generation Retired Man"?

Well, ex-married men must be born prominently, at least at the level of the Seventh Duke.

Northern pass, Targaryen pass (Daenerys's cheap baby was born before Robb's death), river pass, etc., like Edmure Tully (lord of Riverrun, Duke of River, Robb's Uncle, now imprisoned by James in Casterly Rock) gave birth to a son just after Robb's death, which

Shaking her head, Dany discarded these weird thoughts, and said: "The four dragon eggs before were all from Asshai, and they were all fossilized eggs. This red egg once belonged to Targaryen. It was a lost dragon egg two and a half centuries ago. The embryo is still partially alive."

While Aemon was thinking about it, she asked again, "Does the old man know how the Braavos got the dragon's egg?"

"Braavos?"

"Yes, they are planning to give the Volantene eggs, so there must be more than one egg in Braavos."

"Two and a half centuries ago?" Old Aemon thought thoughtfully.

"The Braavos himself said it."

"That's it, I understand!"

The wind whipped snowflakes flying in front of the door, and the old maester couldn't help but tugged at the cloak on his shoulders tremblingly. Dany immediately got up from the stone steps and led the old man into the king's tower by the fireplace.

After drinking the hot milk that Barristan handed over, the old bachelor sighed, "Oh, I'm old. Back then, I was obsessed with stargazing on the Great Wall. I didn't notice it overnight."

"Do you know Princess Rhaena?"

"Uh, there are many named Lelia, which one do you say?"

"Granddaughter of Aegon the Conqueror, eldest daughter of Aerys I, and sister of King Jaehaerys I of the Cenre."

"It turned out to be her." Danny suddenly realized.

That Rhaena was also a legendary (exotic) princess, a fanatical socialite, with a staggering number of husbands, girlfriends, and friends.

"Princess Rhaena has a friend named Elisa, who is from the Farman family of Fairy Island. The two are very close, but Elisa loves sailing and hopes to become a navigator to explore the sea of ​​​​the setting sun, but Princess Rhaena Reluctant to let her go, thinking that would tear their relationship apart.

Not long after, Elisa still chose to leave, and before she left, she stole three dragon eggs from Princess Rhaena.

Now that I think about it, Miss Elisa must have sold the dragon eggs to the Braavosi, and the money they exchanged was used to buy ships and explore the Sea of ​​​​Sunset.

At that time, His Majesty Jaehaerys even secretly launched a general mobilization. He would immediately launch the Dragon War just after a dragon was hatched by any force other than the Targaryen family.

This incident is even recorded in the Royal Library's "History of the Targaryen Household", and several kings after Jaehaerys I have been vigilant about it. "

The old man sighed and said with a wry smile: "Sure enough, what should come will always come. After waiting for 250 years, your Majesty finally waited for it."

"There is nothing more extravagant than exchanging three dragon eggs for a boat." A gleam flashed in Dany's eyes, and she sneered, "I'm afraid that Eliza will be used by others, Braavos Man desires dragons more than you can imagine.

In the City of Learning, I also met a Faceless Man who came to Westeros at least three years ago, before I even hatched dragons!

That guy stole the key of the doctor in charge, and sneaked into the library of the school to look for information related to dragons, especially information related to hatching dragons.

I even suspect that he has explored the Alchemists Guild and the Royal Library before. "

"This..." Old Aemon wrinkled his old face and said worriedly: "Even the Faceless Ones have been dispatched, and the Braavosi are determined to win!

I guessed that everyone in the world wanted dragons, but I didn't expect that the Braavosi would do it 200 years ago, when Targaryen had more than a dozen dragons! "

Dany shook her head and sighed: "It's probably because Targaryen hatched dragons one after another, and in just a few decades, 18 dragons were bred from three.

I can even understand their concerns, not to mention 18 dragons, as long as half of the dragons make up the dragon knight brigade, it is enough to sweep the nine free trade city-states and restore Valyria's prosperity when it dominated the world.

Dragons are the only ones who can deal with dragons, and it is not surprising that the Braavosi strike first, even very wisely and decisively. "

"We never thought of ruling the world," said old Emon.

"This is 'if you don't take it, you will be blamed instead'."

Dany smiled wryly, and asked the old bachelor, "I've always had a question, that Targaryen would not hesitate to launch the Dance of the Dragons for the mere Iron Throne.

But why did those stupid ancestors never think of riding a dragon to the next-door Essos continent to take a piece of land and build their own Iron Throne? "

"I don't know, maybe we have been assimilated by this continent, and we have completely regarded ourselves as Westeros, and we are reluctant to leave our hometown." The old man gave Dani a meaningful look, "They are different from you. You grew up Wandering abroad, I'm afraid I don't have that deep affection for the Red Castle, King's Landing, and the Seven Kingdoms."

"It's not a question of depth of relationship," Dany shook her head, "For the family, the Iron Throne can only bear three dragons at most, one each for the king and queen, and one for the prince.

If the extra dragons are not exported, there will inevitably be internal friction. On the contrary, let Targaryen spread throughout the world. Even if the usurper inevitably happens, Targaryen will not have to bear the crisis of genocide;

As far as Westeros itself is concerned, the fewer power games to compete for the Iron Throne, the better. Targaryen and the Seven Dukes are having fun, but it is the common people who are suffering. Look at the miserable state of the Seven Kingdoms after the Four Kings Rebellion. "

"Daenerys, you are wiser and more merciful than us and the Targaryens of all generations. As a big player in Game of Thrones, they can't even see the lowly civilians in the mud."

Old Aemon looked at Dani with complicated expressions, including relief, sadness, and longing for the future.

"Dong dong dong" Jon's shout sounded outside the door: "Master Aemon, Your Majesty, there are ravens flying from the Shadow Tower."

Barristan got up from the fur-cushioned wooden chair, opened the oak door, and welcomed Jon in with a thin layer of snow on his head.

"Are you still on guard at the gate?" the white knight asked.

Standing at the door, Jon shook off the white snow from the black wool cloak, and said casually, "It's not lonely if you have two dragons with you. Most people don't have to see real dragons if they want to see them!"

Barristan gave him a strange look, "You are very courageous. You have seen the dragon burn the wildlings this afternoon, and now you are still a little scared."

Jon smiled, and didn't say that he was not only not afraid, but was inexplicably excited. He went straight to the fireplace and handed Maester Aemon a parchment scroll with a thick thumb.

The old bachelor opened it and looked at it for a while, then frowned and said: "Commander Bowen Marsh encountered a 100-strong savage brigade led by the Weepers at the Bridge of Skulls. Although we repelled the enemy, we also lost more than [-] brothers. The commander was seriously injured. Healing at the Shadow Tower."

Bowen Marsh was originally the Chief Steward of the Night Watch, but before the death of Old Bear and the election of a new Lord Commander of the Night Watch, he was appointed acting Lord Commander.

"Where's the Skull Bridge?" Dany asked, frowning.

"The Grand Canyon beyond the Great Wall."

"Is it a trick? The main force is transferred from Castle Black, abandoning the favorable terrain of the Great Wall, and going to fight wildlings outside the Great Wall," Dany sighed.

"Well, Mance Rayder sent a small group of enemies to harass the Great Wall at the east and west ends. In order to prevent the wildlings from crossing the Great Wall and entering the northern border to make trouble, Chief Marsh had no choice but to lead people to clean up the wildlings near the Great Wall.

The Great Wall is too long and there are too few night watchmen. It is completely impossible to monitor 500 kilometers. According to the usual practice, active attack is better than passive defense and saves effort. "The old bachelor explained.

"Hehe, since you know that the wildling king is Mance Rayder, and you also know that Mance Rayder is familiar with all the combat habits of the Night Watchmen, you still follow the old rules?

If it weren't for Qolin Halfhand being smart enough, if Jon Snow was not loyal enough, if it wasn't for that Ygritte loved him so much

If all these almost unrepeatable accidental factors did not happen at the same time, the savages would have already crossed the Great Wall and swept across the northern border. "Dani shook her head and chuckled.

In her eyes, the offensive and defensive battle between Mance Rayder and the Night's Watch was nothing but pecking at each other.

Starting from Old Mormont, the Night Watchman made several fatal mistakes one after another; Mance Redkon had a strong source of troops, but he was unable to create a regular army with basic military literacy.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Mance Rayder's IQ.

His situation is very similar to that of the original owner Daenerys, a wildling child who was adopted by the Night Watchman and trained as a ranger since he was a child, without receiving formal military education at all.

Well, the Night's Watch only trains soldiers, and the officers are all noble families from the Seven Kingdoms.
