Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

The Sea King looked at the black messenger in shock. The eyes of this honorable "ruler" of Braavos seemed to be able to swallow the black messenger.

Has he seen a dragon? Where did he see it?

But the Sea King did not dare to ask. The current defense of Braavos City can defend against one or two dragons. However, if the two dragon king families across the sea vent their anger on the Secret City together.

The glorious age of magic has passed. The children of the forest who once raised the hammer of sea water and smashed the continental bridge have disappeared. The Dawn Kingdom that mastered the power of the gods has also been lost in the long river of history. The Rhoynar have lost the water magic that once swept across the continent. Even the magic capital of Asshai has fallen into silence due to the reduction of magic power.

The magic of the Faceless is treacherous and unpredictable, but that's all. The Moon Singers are good at prophecy and treatment, but they know almost nothing about fighting. The greatest blood witch is in Westeros, and other blood witches are like gods looking at mortals in front of Longzel. Dragons despise ants. The followers of the Red God have been much more low-key in recent years, and there are fewer red-robed monks who used to walk around the continent to show "miracles".

No one knows why.

Only the dragons are still prosperous. Although compared with the period of Valyria's Free Fortress, it can be considered to be in decline, but for the East Continent with weak magic power, two dragon king families and more than 30 dragons are enough to make the nine major trading cities tremble with fear.

The black messenger also realized that there might be some problems with what he said, and stuffed the secret back into his mouth. As a prince and wealthy businessman of the Summer Islands, he is qualified to follow the Sea King to welcome the guests.

But he still recounted what he saw and heard in his heart.

He once sailed from the sinful ruins of the Island of Tears to the towns made of mud and blood in the north of the continent where the rainforest is located, just for the priceless treasures in that green hell. When passing by an uninhabited beach, he saw a beautiful dragon with a crown of thorns fighting with a long-winged dragon.

He dared to swear to the God of Fertility of Love and Beauty that the beautiful dragon must not be the long-winged dragon he had seen many times, because he saw fire.

The dragon burned two huge striped long-winged dragons with dragon flames and tore a swamp long-winged dragon alive.

This made his swan boat panic and hurriedly sailed away from that sea area.

He only vaguely saw that there seemed to be a person on the back of the dragon, but it was only vague. Many years had passed and his memory was a little fuzzy.

But now is not the time to recall these. When the dragon fell from the sky, passed over the heads of the Titans and the statues of the Sea Kings of all generations, slid over the complex waterways and cruise ships in Braavos, and landed heavily in the courtyard of the Sea King's Palace, the black messenger even felt that his heartbeat was about to stop. He shrank his neck. He was extremely grateful for the costumes of his hometown. The huge feather headdress allowed him to hide himself so that he would not be stared at by the golden beast.

Boom, boom, boom.

The black messenger could even hear his own heartbeat. He quietly watched the Sea King respectfully welcome the handsome silver-haired young man off the dragon's back, and even wanted to kneel on the ground and let Prince Aegon step on him to get off.

Of course, this is impossible. After all, he is the Sea King, the ruler of Braavos.

This is a polite prince. The black messenger said in his heart, but his eyes were more focused on the topaz-colored golden beast.

His heart seemed to be trembling. Syrax was like a beautiful woman's hand, tightly piercing his chest on the bed and pinching his heart. It was like the special method of the Summer Islands' bed kung fu, stuffing countless feathers into his throat, making him unable to speak even if he wanted to. He felt that his hands and feet were colder than those fished out of the sea. He could not hear his own breathing until the dragon looked away.

What a terrifying, majestic, and beautiful creature it was.

Its huge body made it almost impossible to step on the wide courtyard of the Sea King's Palace. Its topaz-colored scales shone brightly in the sun. Wherever the dragon's eyes swept, everyone could only bow their heads, and even those guys in the shadows had to bend their bodies.

The black messenger swore that among all the rare and exotic animals he had seen in his life, only the dragon that he had seen at a glance could be compared with this golden beast.

But he didn't dare to speak out. He could only watch the dragon indifferently scan the crowd, then folded its wings and buried its head in its wings to take a nap.

It may not have found anything, but others were blown by Syrax's wings. Even the black messenger who was a little far away felt the hot wind blown by the dragon's wings.

"Your Highness, your dragon." The Sea King asked hesitantly. It was not impossible for Syrax to stay in the courtyard, but many of the things he had prepared could not be used.

The courtyard of the Sea King's Palace is also extremely luxurious, with flowers, hedges, marble statues, fountains, and flowing water in the corridors on both sides.

Unfortunately, all of this was messed up by Syrax, and the dragon even dipped its tail into the water. It made the Sea King feel painful.

Although he was not short of money, it would take a long time for him to fight with the old guys in the parliament to repair the Sea King's Palace.

Thinking of this, the Sea King's heart ached even more.

"Syrax likes this place, Your Highness, please tolerate its willfulness." Prince Aegon smiled and followed the Sea King into his palace, saying, "After all, I can't predict its behavior, Your Highness, it's too big, and a slight movement will cause damage that we can't imagine. This place is big enough, it's very suitable for Syrax to stay."

"Okay, okay." The Sea King nodded continuously and slowly sat back on his throne. "All up to Your Highness."

While Prince Aegon sat in his own seat, the Sea King wiped the cold sweat from his temples.

The black messenger who followed in could even see that the Sea King's legs were shaking a little. It seemed that the giant dragon - an adult old dragon really left a deep impression on the Sea King.

"Your Highness, I'm here on behalf of His Majesty King Daeron I of the Targaryen family. Here is his handwritten letter." Seeing that everyone was ready, Prince Aegon took out the wax-sealed letter and handed it to the Sea King's attendant.

The young attendant trembled and handed the letter to the Sea King, who was also a little uneasy.

The "supreme ruler" of Braavos took a quick look at Prince Daeron's letter.

The content of the letter was very simple. King Daeron told Braavos that the Mangrove Coast and the Weeping Coast in the Disputed Lands were filled with pirates that the Stepstones had failed to eliminate. They were endangering the kingdom's maritime security. A mercenary group called "Glory of the Seven Gods" in the Disputed Lands was besieged by several mercenary groups. The leader of this mercenary group was a nobleman from Westeros. At the moment of life and death, he sent a desperate request for help to his motherland.

King Daeron decisively decided that we must help our suffering compatriots and must eradicate all evil.

So King Daeron decided to send troops to eliminate the pirates and save the nobles of his motherland.

He hoped that Braavos could provide loans and help Westeros complete this sacred and just cause.

The Sea King pulled the corner of his mouth speechlessly.

Finally, he let the smile return to his face.

"Your Highness, I understand what His Majesty the King of the Iron Throne means."

The Sea King said with a smile: "I will submit King Daeron's letter to the parliament for processing. Please rest assured that Braavos always stands on the side of justice."

There will be another chapter later, which will not be counted in tomorrow's three updates.
