Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 142 Is it a sea snake or Lanino's species?

Ben Unebar looked at his own feet quietly. Zhuo Ke cut off Ben's head mercilessly. The blood dyed the silver-gold hair of the descendant of the Dragon King red. Until this moment, the Unsullied One in the cabin The tiger-robed soldiers came out one after another, and then their heads were chopped off and smashed one after another.

Only then did Long Zell notice Daemon flying next to him. The old prince looked much older now. Before Dance of the Blood Dragons, Da Meng never had a beard. Every time Long Zell saw him, Dai Meng would Meng would always comb his hair neatly and tie it back, keep his face clean-shaven, and even sometimes spray some perfume. But now Prince Damon not only has some hair loss, but the remaining silver hair has also become much grayer. Even the face that once had no stubble now has a long beard. The still-unruly and fierce-looking Colach's back could not hide the fatigue and aging on Prince Daemon's face.

"Lonzel, let's talk about it when we get to Dragonstone Island." Damon watched Xiu Fu lead the warriors to eliminate the last Unsullied and return to the Rat. The Rat slowly retreated from the side of the galley. Breaking free from the hull of the ship, Vormisor sprayed out a blazing dragon flame, igniting the dragon thief's ship.

Longzell looked at Daemon who had aged like this and couldn't help but sigh. Vermisor stretched his dragon wings and slowly followed Coraxio who turned the dragon's head. Only Joffrey looked at it with some hesitation. The two teenagers who retreated back to the Rat finally signaled the Rat to follow and followed the two giant dragons towards Dragonstone Island.

When Joffrey saw the two brothers Adam and Aelin, he instantly remembered his grandfather's instructions before his death.

Time goes back to the time when the sea serpent was dying.

Climax City, Jiuhang Hall.

Joffrey hurriedly threw off his dark blue cloak and jumped up the spiral staircase leading to the Ninth Navigation Hall. There were large and small square niches neatly arranged on both sides of the staircase, and there were many people in each one. There were all kinds of exotic treasures. The brown-black haired boy walked around a harpy statue made of gold and decorated with emeralds and emeralds, and walked into the empty Nine Navigation Hall, which was filled with nineteen kinds of precious gems, animal bones , the model of the Sea Serpent made of weirwood still stands in the center of the hall. The skeletons of whales, the statues of Qarth, the treasures of Yidi, and even Asshai and specimens of strange beasts surround the huge ship model, which together form the ground on a huge chart. Just the light of the pearls and gems in the firelight was enough to illuminate the entire hall.

In the Jiuhang Hall, only the decaying old man sat on the driftwood throne, quietly watching his grandson run in.

"Grandfather, why are you here?" Joffrey rushed over anxiously: "The maester said that your physical condition no longer allows for big movements." The sea snake Corliss heard his grandson's voice and lifted up with some difficulty. He raised his head and opened his eyes: "Joffrey? What time is it now?"

"Grandfather, it's wolf hour." Joffrey anxiously wanted to help his grandfather up, but the sea snake seemed to have taken root on the driftwood throne and remained motionless: "It's wolf hour, the sunrise is not far away." The sea serpent waved with difficulty, motioning for Joffrey to come closer. "Grandpa, you'd better go back to your room quickly."

"Where are Alexandra and Rhaena?" Corliss asked. Joffrey was stunned for a moment, but he quickly replied: "They are still resting. Rhaena and Dawn played too late and are fast asleep now."

"That's good, that's good." Corliss muttered something meaningless. He could feel the life flowing away from his body, so he wanted to tell Joffrey a secret.

The collateral lines of the Velaryon family were not of much use, and he would not allow the children of Joffrey and the Martell family to marry the useless collateral lines with weak dragon blood. Those losers actually tried to Assassinating themselves and Joffrey - because they knew that neither the court of King's Landing nor the court of Dragon's Nest City could change Joffrey's inheritance. Unsurprisingly, they failed. They once publicly called Rhaenyra I. Led by the "bitch" Malentin, all the "Silent Five" whose tongues were cut out were burned to death by Terexiu's dragon flames. Weimund's two sons, Daeron and Damion, refused to participate in the conspiracy and finally saved their lives. After receiving a reward from Joffrey, he settled down.

After knowing the kneeling of these two juniors, Corliss commented with a sneer: "They don't deserve to call themselves Velaryon. We have blood descendants who control dragon flames and fly high in the sky. We don't just see dragon flames." The coward who peed his pants. "The sea snake has never given up his desire for dragons, and his next generation is the generation with the strongest dragon blood in the Velaryon family. It is also the generation most promising to keep the dragon in House Velaryon.

The rise of the Vareses family has been unstoppable. It can be seen with the naked eye that unless the Targaryen family intervenes, the queen of the Iron Throne will carry the blood of Vareses, not his Velaryon family.

"Come here, child, I want to tell you something." The sea snake said softly: "But before that, you must swear to your ancestors and the Seven Gods that you will not leak this matter."

"As long as you, grandpa, are willing to go back to your room and rest as soon as possible, I swear to the old and new gods, as well as the ancestors of the Targaryen and Velaryon families, that I will not go against your wishes." Joffrey hurriedly raised his hand and said.

Corliss nodded with satisfaction, bent down hard, and whispered: "This is an ugly thing. I may be sorry for your grandma."

"Huh?" Joffrey opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect such a thing to happen, so he hurriedly covered his mouth.

Collis smiled: "I'm not sure if it's me. In the shipyard of Hull Town, there was a girl nicknamed 'Rat'. I remember her name was Malinda or Martha. I can’t remember exactly, but she was a very cute little girl. I remember her father. Her father turned out to be one of my shipwrights, and he was a dragon. But she didn’t have any Valyrian characteristics, of course. , and neither did her father."

Joffrey knew what dragons were. The illegitimate children left behind by men of the Targaryen family to have fun outside were called "dragons" by outsiders, especially on Dragonstone Island. Although "Good Queen" Yali Shan abolished the right of first night, but the people on Dragonstone still respect these dragon species very much, and the dragon species will also intermarry with each other to ensure that their "noble" and "divine blood" can be passed down. And the noble fathers of these dragons sometimes pay a lot of money to the women they have ruined, so the dragons often live a decent life.

Joffrey decided to listen.

"Your grandma's love for Melias is no less than, or even more than, her love for me. This makes me sometimes jealous of that dragon. Haha, to be honest, if I had a dragon, I would too. I love her more than my wife." The sea snake calmly talked about the love between herself and Rhaenys. Although Rhaenys loves dragons, loves fighting, and loves flying, the fierce love between her and the sea snake is also Real and true.

"Ever since your grandma married me, I have never been to a brothel in the town. Even when the boat docked in Reese, I never got off the boat." Corliss murmured: "But what I didn't expect was , the little girl in the shipyard I often went to was actually pregnant. She became pregnant just after my ship was repaired. I tried hard to remember that I didn’t remember that I had slept with her, nor did I remember that the girl followed Lanni and me. I had contact with men other than Nuo, and it wasn’t until the child was born that I discovered that he might indeed be our species.”

Joffrey took a deep breath. He knew why his grandfather didn't continue. He could tell at a glance that he was of Velaryon origin, which meant that the child born by that girl must be a Valyrian with silver hair and purple eyes.

"That girl gave birth to two children in total, but she never brought her children to the castle to find us." Sea Snake said with some regret: "I once looked for her privately while repairing the ship, and she said that these two children He is the seed of Laninor, the seed of Laninor. "The sea snake knows better than anyone what kind of virtue Laninor is. That boy will not be hard on women. When he slept with Rhaenyra, he wanted to do it as soon as possible. To give birth to a child, Rhaenyra even acquiesced to Laninor pulling his male companion into bed, with Laninor in the middle, of course. But even so, Lanino still did not leave a single seed. Even if Rhaenyra put on men's clothing and pretended to be a man, there was nothing she could do.

Now it is said that it is the seed of Lanino. Anyway, the sea snake does not believe it, but the sea snake does not have the memory of leaving seeds. Well, this is actually the sea snake's self-deception. He knows better than anyone who kept him warm during those days and nights. bed, sleeping with him, he just didn't want to face the reality of betraying his wife.

"I understand." Joffrey only felt that what his grandfather told him was indeed a bit embarrassing and speechless. "I will welcome them back when the time is right. After all, they are my brothers in name and of Velaryon's blood. I will not let them wander away."

The sea snake smiled: "I still remember their names, Adam and Erin." The old man lay down on the driftwood throne with relief and slowly closed his eyes. He was too tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Even after falling asleep, he never woke up again.

With his thoughts returning, Joffrey jumped off the dragon's back in the courtyard of Dragonstone Island, preparing to go to the dock to see if the two boys with silver hair and purple eyes were the Adam and Aelin his grandfather said.

At this time, Longzell and Daemon had landed on the beach of Dragonstone Island. Longzell stood on the beach and looked at the aging Daemon: "Cousin, your beard is already thicker than that of His Majesty Viserys. Long."

"Lonzell, stop teasing me." Damon smiled self-deprecatingly, stroking his beard: "I didn't understand my brother's difficulties until I actually sat on that iron chair." The old prince smiled bitterly and said: "Every day is filled with all kinds of little things, but these little things have to be dealt with. To be honest, I am very glad that I was not the one who inherited this chair. Rhaenyra was the same. Humph, it was an advantage for her. , died so early, leaving us to deal with this mess, alas.”

"What do you think of what Huo Geng and Ben said?" Long Zell brought the topic back. Dragon Nest City is not worried about someone coming in to steal the dragon. First, unless you can fly, you can't enter the dragon's lair. There is no Dragon Cave Tower where dragon eggs are stored, and secondly, there are Ago's khalasar nomadic near Dragon Nest City. These barbarians who worship the winged war horses will faithfully record the route of the dragon's flight, and every Silver Blood Army manor also It will monitor the dragon's traces. At the same time, the only wild dragon Womax is not easily tamed. On Dragonstone Island, there is a lack of manpower, so the dragons are still allowed to roam in the open air.

"It's not like no one has come to Dragonstone to steal dragons." Damon knew that if these troublesome things were true, Longzell and the others were the culprits. It was they who reignited the crazy blood of the descendants of the Dragon King. But he had no way to accuse the Targaryen family's most important ally now. I can only explain the situation on Dragonstone in as much detail as possible

"But dragons are not vegetarians. In those years, hundreds of white-haired people from all over the world would sneak to Dragonstone every year, trying to steal dragon eggs or ride on a dragon, but they ignored the dragon itself. ”

Daemon touched Korakshu who stretched out his long neck.

"Before the conquest war, the dragon riders lived on the island. The dragons they tamed would actively hunt strangers who approached Dragon Mountain. After the conquest war, the dragon riders controlled by the Targaryen family would return to Dragonstone from time to time to live for a while. Moreover, the wild dragons that appeared later dared to kill even their own kind. What were humans? Just a piece of meat. Take the glutton we hunted that year as an example. In front of its nest, the bones of people who tried to tame it were piled up into a mountain."

At this time, Daemon remembered something and asked hurriedly: "Longzel, how many dragon king families are there behind the black wall of Volantis?"

"Then you have to see how it is divided. Like my family, there are only two or three true descendants of the dragon king. The rest are established by the side branches of the family who were expelled from the Free Fortress. There are even families established by slaves of these dragon king families who stayed in Volantis." Longzel found a clean stone and sat down, and Daemon also sat beside him.

"This is no longer the era of the Dragon Kings." Long Zeer said: "Ambition without the support of power is ultimately just empty talk."
