Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 139 Aegon's Decision

I saw a magnificent silver-gray dragon roaring and swooping down from the clouds. The waves breaking through the sea could be clearly seen even from a distance. After a while, the giant dragon spun up from the sea and rose into the sky, with its mouth There were tentacles trying to crawl out with their teeth and claws, but as the fire flashed, the dragon swallowed the big squid into its belly like wheat pasta, a specialty of the Reach, and then opened its wings. , flying in another direction. He didn't even look at Shu'er.

"A brand new winged war horse!" Zhuo Ke ignored the bumps of the ship and threw himself on the side of the ship, shouting in surprise. "I'm going to drive it back to the herd of Khal Longzel!"

"Drokoko, that is the property of King Aegon." Xiufu recognized the dragon. When he was young, he had seen this dragon soaring over King's Landing and knew that it was Laninor Velaryon. Ser's dragon, of course, Xiufu didn't know the name of this dragon: "Well, as you Dothraki say. It was a winged warhorse from King Aegon's herd, not Prince Dragonzel's." Herd.”

"King Aegon? Is his herd as big as Khal Dragonzell's?" Droko asked doubtfully: "Does his herd have winged horses like Vormythor? Oh, I think about it. Well, King Aegon is the cub next to Khal Dragonzel? Isn’t his herd the herd of Khal Dragonzel?”

Xiu Fu realized that he could not persuade or change Zhuo Ke's idea, so he simply ignored him and shouted to the lookout: "Erin, watch around to see if there are other ships chasing the dragon."

"Yes!" Erin's sharp eyes indeed spotted a small speedboat that suddenly changed course and sped away in the direction of the silver-gray gorgeous dragon. The speedboat disguised as a paddleless sailing ship blinked in the blink of an eye. Dozens of long oars were stretched out, and they quickly pushed away another merchant ship on the side.

"Malda, catch up quickly! Little scholar, let go of the raven!" Xiufu also rushed to the direction pointed by Aelin and shouted. The petite Martha rushed to the rudder of the ship. "Adam, take someone to adjust the sail rope. Let's catch up." The cabin door creaked open, and a young bachelor stumbled out. However, the bachelor did not release the raven, but took out a blood-red handful. The dagger cut open the raven's neck. Strangely, not a drop of the raven's blood flowed to the deck, but made the dagger redder and redder, and finally disappeared from the bachelor's hand. However, no one noticed the strange behavior of the maester. They were all concentrating on adjusting the direction of the large sailing ship.

"Yes! Mother." Adam immediately took the sailors guarding the sail, adjusted the sail direction, and the Rat slowly turned, preparing to chase the clipper.

On the speedboat, the captain with waves and sailboats tattooed on his face knelt in front of Hogon Bellerys and Ben Unebar, and said tremblingly: "Master, we can't go any faster. We are just a small boat and cannot reach a hundred The speed of a fifty-oar or two-hundred-oar warship."

"Idiot, there is a ship chasing you." Huo Geng kicked the captain over. Ben held down Huo Geng's shoulders and said to the captain who immediately fell to the ground again after being kicked over: "Go at full speed, chase." That dragon, don’t worry about the boat behind it.”

"Ben, that is the large sailing ship of the Varese family. Even the swan ship of the Summer Islands and the purple sailing ship of the slaves in Braavos are not as fast as them. Do you want to kill us?"

"What you and I did was to lose our heads." Ben Unebar motioned to the captain to quickly deploy the oarsmen, and in turn grabbed Hogen's collar: "Have you forgotten how Taraz died? Since it was We are here to tame the dragon, so the dragon is our only target. As for the pursuers, as long as there is no dragon coming, we will kill them directly. "

Huo Geng pushed the book open and straightened his collar. There were not only sailors on this ship, but also twenty Unsullied and twenty tiger-robed soldiers, all hiding under the cabin. In order not to disturb the various ports, they just swam to the ship at an almost impossible place to dock near Cape Wrath. The entire ship was not even replenished at Tars Island, but was purchased directly from a Volantis ship leaving the port. Got supplies. Only then did they arrive at Blackwater Bay smoothly.

They must be fast. As for the pursuers behind them, hey, it's not yet certain who will kill whom.

Dragonstone.

Corakxiu screamed and descended from the sky. The slender, snake-like blood-red dragon lay steadily on the long causeway outside the castle. Sir Robert Kans, the acting lord of Dragonstone Island who heard the roar of the dragon and the coming, staggered forward. When they came up to him, the old knight was old. Not only was he senile, but he was also very fat. It took a lot of energy for him to get here. "Your Majesty, I have blocked all the ports on Dragonstone Island. No strange ships will enter the ports."

Daemon jumped off the dragon's back, took off his gloves, and walked to Robert: "I'm hungry, and the dragon is hungry too. Prepare food for us." Damon had just finished patrolling Blackwater Bay on his dragon, but it was very difficult. Unfortunately, the chase between Hogon's ship and the Rat begins after his inspection is over.

Unfortunately, the old prince missed the dragon thief's ship.

"Your Majesty, the food is ready." Sir Robert followed the regent panting, holding on to the stone guardrail of the causeway. "Sir Alfred took the Dragon Guard to inspect Dragon Mountain. I can guarantee that today, I only saw Hai Yan out looking for food, and no other dragons were seen."

"Where's the sheep thief?" Damon asked. As an old dragon born during the time of Jaehaerys I, the Sheepstealer is not very big, but he is well-known on Dragonstone Island for his cunning, greed, and cruelty. Many shepherds on Dragonstone Island have encountered its vicious hands. The wild dragon even flew across the valley to feed. When the knights of the valley came after hearing the news, the sheep thief left only ashes on the ground and a burned-out mountain tribe.

"I didn't see the old dragon." Robert Kans recalled it and made sure that the sentries he had placed throughout the island found no trace of the sheep thief.

As for the gray shadow? Few have seen the young and shy dragon, save for a handful of fishermen who have seen it swoop into the sea in pursuit of plump tuna. Then immediately disappear into the clouds or mountains.

"Are there new dragon eggs hatching in Dragon Mountain?" Damon suddenly stopped and looked at Robert Kanth seriously. This was a very fatal question. Damon received the news from Saraphasus and Yiga It was a question that only came to light after the news of Lars’ hatching. Daemon clearly remembered that in his boyhood, the Targaryen family did not lack dragons.

To be precise, in the hundred years between the conqueror unifying the six kingdoms and King Viserys ascending the throne, the Targaryen family actually had more than the few dragons they have now. In the "cruel" young Maegor During the period, because he never had a dragon, King Aegon I and Queen Visenya arranged for him twelve dragons for his selection, and these twelve dragons were only among the healthy and powerful dragons born in Dragon Mountain. The aggressive part.

During the reign of King Jaehaerys, Queen Rhaena's Dreamfire produced dragon eggs almost constantly, and during the years she lived on Dragonstone, eggs hatched almost every month. As a result, the courtyard where dragons were raised on Dragonstone Island could no longer be accommodated. Many young dragons escaped from the courtyard and built nests throughout Dragon Mountain, becoming wild dragons.

But the Targaryen family didn't seem to pay much attention to the dragons hatched in Dragon Mountain. Except for those tamed and ridden by family members, the rest were left to fight and fend for themselves. As a result, when Viserys I became king, There are almost no hatchlings in Dragon Mountain. Even if there are, they have been eaten or hunted by gluttons or other dragons.

Damon didn't realize until this moment that he couldn't do this anymore. He must cherish every dragon egg and every hatched dragon. He must firmly hold these real powers and the relatives of the real dragons in his hands.

Robert Kans was stunned by this question. He recalled it carefully. Although the old knight was old, his memory had not faded. He suddenly remembered the news from the patrolling Dragon Guard. "Yes, I remembered it. Dragon eggs hatched in Longshan. When dragon guards were patrolling, they heard calls that were different from Haiyan, Sheepstealer and Gray Shadow."

"Take me to see it quickly." Daemon was overjoyed. This is great news, even better news than the hatching of Dawn and Igalas. This is a dragon hatched in the territory of the Targaryen family, especially During the period when dragon-stealing was clouded, the new dragon was enough to prove that the Targaryen family's destiny was still there.

"Your Majesty, aren't you going to eat?" The old knight tried to dissuade the prince with tears in his eyes. Daemon was not yet fifty years old, but he could still resist. The fat knight has half his life left, so he has to go to Longshan. No, he has to go. The old knight made up his mind to follow his master until his soul returns to the stranger.

"We'll eat when we come back. By the way, Colakxiu needs to eat now, so lead the way."

"Your will be obeyed."

Dragon Nest City.

Aegon climbed down from the training ground in front of the Dragon Crystal Tower with his wooden sword in hand, bruises all over his body, sat down on the open space at the edge of the field, picked up a kettle and drank it.

In the field, Aslan Rondel split the sword in Revel Haydn's hand with a sword. He flicked the sword and slapped the young attendant on the back, knocking him down directly: "The center of gravity is unstable. Your toughness is too poor, you are not as strong as His Majesty Jakaris when he was nine years old." Aslan said in a deep voice.

Aegon took a sip of water sadly when he heard his brother's name. Ringol's training is also over. The boy does not need actual combat training, and his events are much easier.

"Lingol, do you think I can compare to my brother?" Aegon couldn't help but said as he watched another young boy in the field being knocked down by Aslan and getting up again to continue training.

"His Majesty Jakaris is His Majesty Jakaris, and Aegon is Aegon." Ringol pretended to be a young adult and patted the young king on the shoulder. "To be honest, I heard from my uncle that His Majesty Jakaris could not defeat Master Aslan until the end." Ringor was not familiar with Jakaris, and he only had some vague understanding of the handsome black-haired elder brother. The impression includes that he often hugs himself and plays with himself, and he often talks to his father. But he knew Jakaris was a very good man.

Hearing that his brother had never beaten Aslan, Aegon smiled knowingly. At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came from below Dragon's Nest City.

The entire Dragon Nest City seemed to be shaking.

"Why did Wormisor take off?" Aegen stood up immediately and ran to the edge of the training ground in three steps and two steps at a time, which was facing the entrance of the dragon cave below.

Vermithor, which was so huge that it could cover the sky and the sun, spread its wings and flew up. Aegon could even clearly see Dragonzel wearing the Valyrian steel armor "Dragon Knight" behind it.

"What's wrong?"

"The dragon thief should have been found. I saw Prince Longzel give Assistant Maester Arthur a red dagger. I didn't dare to listen to what they said. It was probably something that could notify him immediately. This damn dragon thief dared to think about the dragon."

Aegon looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Revel who was talking to Quentin. He rushed over and asked: "Revel, what's going on? What dragon stealing?"

"Your Majesty, don't you know? A few days ago, a group of dragon thieves from Volantis tried to steal Vermax, but Vermax burned one of them to death, and the rest ran away." Revel was also very puzzled why Aegon didn't know about this.

Aegon stood up without hesitation and ran towards the Dragon Cave Tower without even changing his dirty clothes.

"Aegon, what are you doing?" Ringol hurriedly followed with his short legs.

"I want to go and see who is so bold." Aegon gritted his teeth and said: "Dare to steal my eldest brother's dragon."
