Chapter 294 The Queen's Invitation Again!
"Thank you this time, Morgan."

Ed Stark thanked Morgan in a deep voice as he watched Morgan approaching.

If Morgan hadn't just appeared to help today, he really couldn't imagine what would happen if he was captured by the other party today.

"nothing."

Morgan smiled and shook his head, and continued: "Although I don't know why Jaime Lannister dared to lead the team to deal with adults."

"But the Lannister family is very powerful in King's Landing City, so you have to be more careful when you go out."

Without asking why Jaime Lannister, who was originally only hostile to each other, would suddenly lead a team to besiege the bold move, Morgan glanced at the surrounding streets, only to realize that this time Eddard Stark was accompanied by the captain of the guard Kelson. Five guards, which is much less than the entire team of 30 guards before.

"The other guards have been sent to the castle by me."

Noticing the confusion in Morgan's eyes, Ed Stark said.

"I see, Lannister is powerful, I'd better take the messenger back to the castle first."

Seeing that Ed Stark didn't want to say more, Morgan didn't ask, and immediately said.

Ed Stark nodded, looking at several corpses on the street.

There are four guards belonging to the Stark family in front of them, and they are people from the north. They should have taken away the corpses of the other party, but the time is urgent, so it must not be possible.

However, these corpses will be collected by the King's Landing Guards, and they can only be arranged afterwards.

Eddard Stark got on his horse as a result of the reins handed by Kelsen.

The three of them were about to leave.

Suddenly, a loud sound of hooves came from behind.

The three on horseback immediately turned around, and saw a heavily armed guard of King's Landing City coming quickly on horseback on the street behind.

The leader was none other than "Littlefinger" Petyr Baelish who went to call the police earlier.

Looking at the guards of King's Landing City who came to help.

Morgan knew that Ed Stark would definitely not be able to leave for a while.

The street at the gate of the "Colorful Forest" castle was littered with corpses and blood, and pedestrians and vendors around did not dare to approach, and had already avoided it.

Petyr Baelish, who led the team, saw the situation in front of his own brothel from a distance.

Originally, he was surprised why James Lannis and the group of soldiers were so missing, but when he saw the extra Morgan figure on the three horses in front of him.

Petyr Baelish immediately understood.

He did not forget that Morgan stayed in his "Colorful Forest" last night to spend the night.

But he didn't expect Morgan to wake up so early, and happened to encounter the scene of James Lannister dealing with Eddard Stark.

Although it is a pity that there was no more serious bloodshed between Ed Stark and James Lannister.

But the two families are already in trouble, and they heard from James Lannister that the little devil Tyrion Lannister was captured by the Stark family.

As a result, the Stark family and the Lannister family have no possibility of easing up.

The speed at which the two families tore their faces apart was so fast.

This surprised him.

Thinking of this, Petyr Baelish quickly put away his emotions, and shouted with concern from a distance: "Lord Stark!"

"Are you OK."

After half an hour.

Eddard Stark, Kelsen, Petyr Baelish and a group of guards from King's Landing went to the Red Castle Palace.

Morgan did not choose to go with him.

Although he helped Ed Stark this time.

But it doesn't mean that he will continue to follow Ed Stark, so as not to be associated with others.

What's more, Ed Stark didn't tell Morgan why Jaime Lannister led a team to besiege him?
Why dare to lead a team to besiege him?
You must know that Ed Stark is the former Prime Minister, his status is only below the king, absolutely one person is below one person, and above ten thousand people is an incomparably noble and powerful figure.

No matter how rich the Lannister family in Casterly Rock is, even if the current queen is from the Lannister family.

As long as King Robert Baratheon trusts Eddard Stark, no matter what he does, he will not be able to overcome the storm.

If Ed Stark is more ruthless, it is not impossible to suppress the Lannister family.

However, Jaime Lannister, who is the Kingsguard, dared to lead troops to besiege Ed Stark.

There must be a reason for this.

But if the other party didn't tell him, Morgan naturally didn't know.

Also, Ed Stark said that the original large number of guards were sent to the castle, but he didn't mean to tell Morgan the reason at all.

Guard Captain Kelsen must have known.

This should be in normal times, the other party must have told him.

But this time when Morgan looked over, Kelsen also said nothing.

Such precautions made Morgan instantly realize that he was already an outsider from the moment he left Stark Castle.

Even if it helped Eddard Stark once this time.

This is also when Morgan came to see Ed Stark and asked him if he would go to the Red Castle together, Morgan immediately refused.

He didn't want to continue to be tied to the Stark family.

Although I helped Ed Stark once this time.

But as long as he expresses his attitude and believes in other people, even if Queen Cersei Lannister finds out, it won't matter. After all, Morgan has played for the Stark family before.

It was Morgan's attitude not to go to the Red Castle with Ed Stark.

When leaving Silk Street.

It is already morning.

This time, Morgan did not choose to go to the "Coast of Love" to find his little lover, but returned to the house he bought on Nun Street.

This house is not very big, but it must be more than enough to live in Morgan.

There were no servants in the house, and the furniture was left by the previous owner.

Morgan didn't plan to live here for a long time, but he definitely needed a space of his own.

For example, what he is going to do next needs to be done in secret.

Between the slight movements of the mind.

An oval black dragon egg more than half a meter long appeared in front of Morgan immediately.

Yes, he is going to try to hatch this dragon egg in this house.

That's why he bought the house on Nun Street.

Nun Street is the street closest to the Red Fort.

The environment here is good, the housing price is high, and the security is naturally better.

Some people may think that it is better for Morgan to choose a chaotic place or a slum if he wants to hatch dragon eggs quietly, because it is safer.

This statement has some truth, but it does not meet Morgan's intentions.

Because he is often away from home, he does not want his residence to be patronized by thieves every two days.

Picking up the dragon egg, Morgan went straight to the basement.

Houses in this era, unless the conditions of thatched cottages are too poor, generally have basements.

Naturally, this house also has it.

In general, the bigger the house, the bigger the basement.

Holding a torch, Morgan walked down the stone stairs into the dark basement deep in the house.

Morgan had visited this basement once before when he bought a house, but that time he just glanced at the basement door, and a basement would do.

This time, I went directly to the basement, only to realize that the space here is not small.

However, except for some large wooden boxes covered with dust, and a few unused odds and ends, it is quite empty.

Apparently the previous owner didn't use the basement much.

After inspecting the basement space.

Morgan returned to the house and did another simple make-up.

The martial arts tournament has just ended a few days ago, and his current handsome face is too recognizable and well-known in King's Landing City.

If you don't wear makeup, it's a bit troublesome to go out to run errands.

Of course, except when shopping on Silk Street.

Morgan went out for a trip and returned to the house an hour later.

He went out this time to prepare for hatching dragon eggs.

After carefully recalling Daenerys Targaryen's hatching process in his mind, Morgan naturally planned to use flames as a hotbed for hatching eggs like the other party.

Therefore, Morgan bought a large amount of charcoal this time, as well as some auxiliary materials.

Go back to the basement again.

Morgan began to prepare.

Thinking of avoiding setting my own house on fire.

The first thing he has to do is clean out the basement.

For the sake of safety, these things are naturally only done by Morgan himself.

However, his method of cleaning is very good. With a wave of his hand, the wooden box furniture flew up and disappeared in an instant. After returning to the house above, he released it.

So less than half an hour.

The basement was completely emptied.

Make sure to eliminate the possibility of causing a fire.

Only then did Morgan begin to place the charcoal.

First, put a large amount of high-quality charcoal in the center of the basement in a circle big enough for Morgan to sit in.

The surrounding charcoal is topped with grease for the flame to burn better.

After completing these preparations.

Morgan then stripped himself naked, then sat in the center of the charcoal circle, and took out the black dragon egg.

Looking at the dragon egg covered with black regular scales in his arms, and looking at a large circle of charcoal drenched in grease.

Morgan took a deep breath, raised his hand, picked up the torch beside him and lit it on the charcoal.

"Snapped"

The oil-stained charcoal was ignited and spread rapidly, igniting the entire charcoal circle around it.

He looked at the bright yellow flames that were rapidly burning in a circle around him.

Morgan looked at the dragon egg in his arms again, feeling the scorching heat from around him, he closed his eyes.

Before this.

Morgan had already tested his body's resistance to fire.

The previous maximum endurance strength was when he stuck his fingers into an open flame for grilling, and the longest time he persisted was about half an hour.

After more than half an hour, the pain from the fingers was obviously felt.

Obviously, this is the current limit of the flame resistance that Morgan's body skin can withstand.

Of course, limits are one thing.

There is no need for Morgan to directly challenge his current limit as soon as he comes.

If the dragon eggs could be hatched at a milder temperature, he would naturally not want to suffer the pain of being directly burned by the flames for half an hour.

Even with Morgan's current extreme fire resistance, dragon eggs cannot be hatched.

He can also wait.

Because Morgan's fire resistance will increase according to his strength.

And some other external methods, things related to flames can also affect the body's flame resistance to a certain extent, like he once ate the meat of the flame dragon Smaug.

This is evidenced by the fact that it is obviously stronger in terms of fire resistance than cold resistance.

In short, hatching a dragon egg is a big project, and it is very difficult.

But Morgan will take it one step at a time.

Just when Morgan was hiding in the basement of his house and secretly transformed into a dragon mother to hatch dragon eggs.

The situation in King's Landing City is also constantly changing.

First of all, Jaime Lannister, Kingslayer's Kingsguard, led soldiers to besiege former Prime Minister Ed Stark, which caused great turmoil in the Red Castle palace.

Queen Cersei Lannister took the lead, not only accusing Ed Stark of capturing his younger brother Tyrion Lannister without permission, but also attacking his younger brother Jaime Lannister, who was seriously injured in the tournament. nistor.

Facing the accusation of the queen's backlash.

Ed Stark also did not back down this time.

Before the Iron Throne.

He accused Queen Cersei Lannister of confusing truth and lying;

He angrily reprimanded James Lannister for leading his troops to besiege the former Prime Minister under the watchful eyes of everyone, without the discipline of the Royal Guards, honor and disgrace, and disregarding the laws and regulations of the kingdom. He has committed a heinous crime and must be judged by the kingdom.

Even Ed Stark had just resigned as Prime Minister half a day ago.

But in front of the Iron Throne, none of the noble ministers knew that King Robert Baratheon valued Eddard Stark very much, and no one dared to intervene.

Even Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was very happy to see such a scene, and even hoped that the quarrel between the two would be more serious, but he also dared not say anything.

One is the current queen.

One is the former Prime Minister.

Everyone is right.

Although the scene of these two spraying each other in public was astonishing.

But it was also hitting King Robert Baratheon in the face.

Therefore, King Robert Baratheon ignored the reasons between the two of them and made a very strong decision.

Eddard Stark's wife, Catelyn Tully, must let the imp Tyrion Lannister go.

And Ed Stark needs to reconcile with James Lannister who has escaped from King's Landing City.

Although Queen Cersei Lannister and Ed Stark disagree with the king's handling of this method, and are very dissatisfied.

But a king is a king.

The king kept his word.

Neither Cersei Lannister nor Ed Stark dared to say anything more.

A major event that was enough to cause the two families to confront each other and cause turmoil in the kingdom was suppressed in this way.

this afternoon.

Ed Stark returned to the position of Prime Minister.

The court situation in the Red Castle was turbulent, and the nobles and ministers in King's Landing were most affected.

Although King's Landing City, which is located outside the Red Castle, is not affected by this matter.

But because the giant "Black Chamber of Commerce" of the Chamber of Commerce was robbed of the caravan in the early morning of the night of the competition.

In the past few days, the censorship and interrogation in King's Landing City has suddenly become more stringent.

The Junlin City Guards took the opportunity to make a fortune in the name of fighting robbers.

As a result, the popularity of Junlin City, which was still in the heat of the martial arts competition, was greatly reduced.

in this turbulent situation.

Three days passed in a flash.

Nun Street.

Inside an ordinary house.

basement.

Morgan put away the dragon eggs and stood up from the extinguished charcoal fire with a tired face.

First attempt at hatching a dragon egg.

He hatched for three days.

In the past three days, except for eating and drinking, Morgan basically stayed in the basement and hatched eggs day and night.

But unfortunately, after three days of hatching, the dragon egg in his arms still didn't move at all.

Morgan was not discouraged.

He already knew that the dragon egg would not be so easy to hatch.

What's more, he doesn't know whether this dragon egg can be hatched like Daenerys Targaryen's three dragon eggs.

But Morgan had the time, and the energy.

He can keep trying.

Back in the house, Morgan took a shower, changed into brand new clothes, and rode "Carrot" straight to the Red Castle.

Today was the day King Robert Baratheon set off to hunt outside King's Landing.

Morgan had promised the king three days ago.

This is the time to make an appointment.

It was only when he stepped into the gate of the palace that a slightly familiar attendant appeared in front of him again.

"Your Excellency Morgan, Your Majesty the Queen invites you to come over."
