Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

"Dragon? What dragon?"

Lei Geng drowsily climbed up from the bed next to him, and tried his best to open his sleepy eyes and look in the direction where Ringor was looking in the distance. Sure enough, I saw a vague shadow, like a pale yellow stone, slowly approaching Harrenhal.

Lei Geng suddenly woke up, his face changed, and he looked at Lingol with some worry. He knew that all the dragon knights now knew Lingol, and they could all see Lingol in disguise at a glance.

"It's Viserys." Ringol recognized the dragon that the pale yellow shadow was, and also recognized its knight.

Igalas.

That sturdy dragon that lost the dragon.

Compared with when they left Dragon Nest City, even from a distance, this giant dragon was much bigger. The dragon wings, which were originally much larger than ordinary dragons, are now even wider, making it appear that Igaras's majestic body is not as strong as it was when he was young.

But it is still visible to the naked eye that it is "fatter" than the giant dragons of the same age group.

But Ringor also noticed many things when he was in King's Landing. For example, the two young dragons, Stormcloud and Igalas, who had lived in Dragon's Nest City for many years, did not move as fast as they did in Dragon's Nest City after returning to King's Landing. Growth, on the contrary, slowed down. Of course, it seems that because Igalas itself is much larger than dragons of the same age, this trend is not too obvious. But Baoyun is obviously not as lively and strong as he was in Dragon Nest City.

After Ronzel left King's Landing with his wife and children, the Black Palace of Varese became Samantha's private palace. However, Samantha could not live in such a large palace by herself, so the palace was temporarily After a few days of idleness, it became a palace where Aegon, who was tired of the dull atmosphere in King's Landing, took his wife to escape from the politics of King's Landing.

Correspondingly, Baoyun often flies to the Dragon Pit in the Black Palace for vacation.

It prefers the atmosphere of the dragon pit rather than the dragon lair.

Therefore, people in King's Landing can often see storm clouds taking off from the dragon lair in the city, flying towards the Black Palace of Vareses outside the city. Along with it, the ugly and strange gray dragon will also take off to meet the storm clouds. It would not be until Aegon's vacation was over that Stormcloud would follow the king and queen back to King's Landing and return to the dragon's lair.

Of course, this was not a particularly obvious thing, so Aegon and Viserys didn't pay too much attention to it. They, especially Viserys, were more concerned about why the dragons in the dragon's lair in Dragon's Nest City grew so fast. question.

Igaras is very excited. Yes, as a dragon, he is really excited now. He can't help but flap his wings a few more times when flying. Its cry is dull and cannot be heard clearly at a distance. But Viserys could clearly feel its happiness.

"Igaras, calm down." Viserys clung helplessly to Igaras' dragon saddle, fearing that his living ancestor would throw him off if he got excited.

Igalas is very happy now. It can finally get rid of the young dragon Po Ying who has always been clinging to it. Igaras never thought that the reason why Po Ying did not build a nest immediately was because he wanted to stay in his nest position and wait. After choosing his nest, Poying immediately chose the hole closest to him.

Then the miserable life of Igalas began. It couldn't disobey Colakxiu, and it didn't dare to take the little dragon that was always pestering it to find Menghuo. He can only endure Poying's courtship-style entanglement.

After all, it had been wrong before. Although it had also entangled Saraphasus, it was definitely not entangled like Bo Ying, who almost tried to become one with himself.

It would be okay if Poying could lay eggs, but Poying didn't seem to show any signs of laying dragon eggs. But Saraphase can lay eggs. It is said that the number of dragon eggs produced by Saraphase now exceeds that of Silver Wing, and is almost the same as that of Huan Huo. The quality of the dragon eggs produced by Saraphase is also very high. It is said that every dragon egg produced by Saraphase is of high quality. Everything is steaming.

The moment Viserys took it out of the dragon's lair, Igaras didn't know how happy he was. After all, after seeing Igaras leaving, Poying tried to continue to pester it, but was killed by Korak. Xio roared a few times and realized that Igaras was going to take its companion to other places.

Only then did Igalas reluctantly let go.

Igalas, who finally no longer had to carry a similar beast on his back all year round, felt particularly relaxed at this time. It happily flew over the royal territory and the riverlands, and flew above the five big fingers of Harrenhal.

Under the heart tree.

Benjikou, who was doing his regular evening prayers, heard the dull roar of Igalas. The soldiers of various families arranged in various towers also noticed the arrival of the dragon, and hurriedly ran back to their positions.

Igaras flew around the Burning King Tower, and Igaras roared happily. The voice was dull, but you could really hear its happiness.

The soldiers standing guard on the tower, as well as the knights with noble status who could live in the castle, widened their eyes and looked at the giant dragon falling from the sky.

"Is this a dragon?" A young knight from the river said with a trembling voice: "Okay." His lack of vocabulary was not enough to describe the appearance of the magnificent beast in front of him.

Although in the eyes of those who are familiar with Igalas, this giant dragon is thick and has no neck, or the neck is too thick, and has a heavy throat pouch. The small head is more like a bird than a dragon, only that A thick, crystal-like horn looked particularly gorgeous under the moonlight. Although the wings were wide, the corresponding wing bones were exceptionally thick, making them appear even thicker.

But this is not the case in the eyes of these young sprouts. In their eyes, Igaras is like those ancient monsters in ancient legends. In their eyes, Igaras's crystal-like horn is like a bright crescent moon, and its thick The figure just shows its majesty, and the two long bifurcated tail wings hang down, just like the "evil" in ancient legends. Of course, these knights do not dare to face the dragon like the "mirror shield" that killed the evil dragon. Charge. As for Thrikos who was killed by the mob, it is a pity that because of the efforts of Joffrey and Baela, the Targaryen royal family dealt with these mobs in time, and the few mobs who killed the young dragons will sleep forever in the palace. Into the belly of the dragons in the dragon lair.

People only knew that a dragon died, but they did not know that a mortal had killed the young dragon.

For a long time to come, Thrikos died from debilitation rather than from being killed.

However, those old guys and people who had experienced the war were not so shocked when they saw Igalas.

Does the revival of the Targaryen family lie in these new dragons?

Lord Forrest Frey said in his heart.

Although this dragon is majestic, it is still a bud that has never tasted blood, and it is also an immature baby dragon.

Marquis Frey commented unceremoniously on Igalas. He saw with his own eyes Vermisor and Vaghhar dancing wildly over the Red Fork River, and saw two huge "mountains" fighting and bleeding above their heads. He had seen with his own eyes the majesty of Vormisor, which was a truly gigantic beast. Even though they were thousands of feet in the air, Vormisor and Vhagar were still so huge that it was suffocating. When the two giant dragons fought, The heat waves and strong winds set off are enough to make anyone on the ground fly into the sky, and it is also enough to make anyone on the ground lose their courage and look at the grand scene in fear like a divine punishment.

The two "mountains" danced a dance of destruction above their heads, Vhagar's desperate roar before his death, Vormisor's earth-shattering roar, and the sound of claws tearing scales apart in the sky over the Red Fork River. A manic song was composed.

It will forever be engraved in the hearts of all those who participated in the war.

In front of those two real "mountains", Igalas was as childish as a baby in front of adults.

Igaras slowly landed over the open space of Harrenhal. When he saw the people gathered around him, Igaras couldn't help but let out a dull roar.

"Your Highness, why are you here in person?" Duke Kermit greeted him with some surprise. Unlike the surprise of the knights of the Riverlands, the knights of the king's territory were not that surprised. After all, they had more There are more opportunities to see dragons than just in songs and legends.

"After all, it is a tournament organized by me, so I naturally have to pay close attention." Viserys said with a smile. He patted Igaras, who was still breathing white air excitedly, and jumped down from the dragon saddle.

"Lord Kermit, Lord Benjikor, Lord Forrester, Lord Petyr." Viserys could not ignore these four real war heroes, and could only follow these four "Silver Dragon Party" one after another. "Said hello. "Thank you for taking the trouble to support the tournament we organized."

"Your Highness, this is what we should do." Duke Kermit said respectfully. After all, it is also the vassal's obligation to support the lord's needs.

"Your Majesty will remember your contribution." Viserys smiled and patted Duke Kermit on the shoulder. "I will preside over the opening of the tourney tomorrow."

I'm looking forward to the price offered by Zhenlong.

Benjikor said in his heart that he was more interested in how Viserys planned to use Harrenhal to leverage the situation in the Riverlands.

As the center of the Riverlands, Harrenhal has a very prominent geographical location and military role. King's Landing can completely take advantage of Harrenhal's advantageous geographical location to make some moves on the issue of the East and West Riverlands.

When the dragon landed at Harrenhal. Rhaegon looked at Ringol anxiously: "Your Highness, are we still going to participate in the tourney? Prince Viserys knows Alarion and I, even though Alarion is not very eye-catching."

But I am eye-catching. I cannot change my eyes or hair color overnight.

"And he's very familiar with me." Ringol said, "But it doesn't matter. We put on our armor and he won't notice."

"As long as we don't get too greedy to win that championship, Viserys won't notice us."

Lei Geng was still a little worried, but considering that their helmets could cover their faces, and they were only competing symbolically.

so.

"Your Highness, if we meet Coach Lucas"

"Let him win."

Ringor sighed and said that he knew very well that the purpose of Lucas Rothstein's participation in the tourney was Harrenhal, or in other words, the purpose of Viserys supporting his participation was Harrenhal.

Lucas will definitely become the champion of this tournament.

Then they can only let go.

"I'll tell Alarion."

Lei Geng nodded and went to tell his partner who had just gotten up because of their voices.

On the other side, old James stared blankly at Igalas landing in Harrenhal in the distance, and couldn't help hugging himself.

"Dragon dragon."

The old knight murmured.

"No, no, don't kill me, don't burn me."

He curled up into his quilt, shivering all the time. The war that year also left a deep impression on him.

However, what was engraved in his mind was not the wild dance of the two "mountains", nor the manic song played by the dragons fighting.

But the boundless flames, and the darkness that seemed to fall when Vhagar screamed and was shot down from the clouds.

He felt as if he was surrounded by flames.

"No, no." Old Jaime climbed out of his bed in a daze. "I have to run, I have to run, I don't want to die, I don't want to die."

He picked up his sword in a panic, hesitated for a moment, and touched the sleeping Albin again, and then carefully got out of his three-person camp.

But he didn't notice that "Hyena" Kane Mudd was watching him silently in the dark.

Just watching him silently.

Harrenhal at this time.

Viserys got a relatively clean room, but he didn't rush back to the room to have a good sleep, but returned to the courtyard to take care of Igarath.

"Your Highness." Lucas Rostan pretended to go to the toilet and quietly came to Viserys.

"Are you ready, Master?"

"Your Highness." Lucas rubbed his hands: "I am ready, but..."

"Don't worry." Viserys gently stroked Igarath's dragon scales. "You will win. The knights of the crown are organized by you, and the knights of the riverlands."

"Duke Kermit and his men are still Targaryen's vassals."

Viserys said.

I hope they can always remember their identities, so I don't need to make a big fuss.

Unfortunately,

The answer was revealed at the opening ceremony of the tournament the next day.

"The winner will win a reward of three thousand gold dragons. Earl Harrenhal. And."

Viserys paused deliberately.

But the knights in the audience have gone crazy.

Let alone three thousand gold dragons, after all, every tournament has a high prize money.

Earl Harrenhal.

That is what all knights dream of.

Castle, land.

Although after the great trial that year, a lot of the territory belonging to Harrenhal was divided out. And these knights are all vassals of other lords.

But the remaining land is still considerable.

For these knights.

But the term Viserys said at the end made Ringol and the river lords present change their faces.

"In addition to the Earl of Harrenhal, I will also confer him as the Lord on behalf of His Majesty Aegon."

Viserys glanced at the crazy people.

"Commander of God's Eye Lake."

Sorry everyone, I'm too busy today, so there are only 4,000 words in this chapter. There will be a burst of updates on Sunday, about 8,000 to 9,000 words.
