[A Song of Ice and Fire] Roga

A storm is coming.

The people on the island told Roja that whenever a storm came, the ancient wall of the Stone Drum Tower would rumble and echo, which is why it got its name.

Rogar stood in Aegon's Garden.The garden was filled with the pleasant scent of pine, and tall black trees rose from all sides.There are also wild roses and towering thorn bushes, and cranberries grow in the muck.

Shireen and her jester, Patchface, have gone to the maester, for she has heard that the Cardinal of the Citadel has sent a white crow to herald the end of summer.

Half a month before Duke Tywin led his troops into King's Landing, Prince Rogar arrived at Dragonstone Island with more than 20 guards.

Stannis, Duke of Dragonstone, came to fetch him with his wife, Lady Selyse of the Florent family, and daughter, Miss Shireen.Lord Stannis, with a face as hard as a stone, looked him straight at him with an inscrutable gaze, and Lady Selyse, who actually had a black beard under her nose.No wonder my uncle hid his wife on Dragonstone, thought Rogar.

Shireen has a timid character and calls him "Brother Roja". She is a sympathetic little girl who was infected with greyscale when she was young and left a scar on half of her cheek extending to her neck.Roja's gentle response to her made her close to him quickly.

Dragonstone Castle was built of black stone, its towers carved to look like dragons, and gargoyles of various shapes along the walls served as battlements.Most of the designs in the castle are related to dragons.Smaller dragons adorn the doorway frames, claws protruding from the walls serve as torch stands, huge stone wings contain the smithy and armory, and dragon tails form arches, bridges, and outdoor staircases.

In addition to the castle, there is a small fishing village on the island.

Surrounded by storms and bad water all year round, there are volcanic smoke shadows behind it.The climate is cloudy and humid.Pale and gray steam rose constantly from the geothermal vents of Dragon Mountain behind the castle.

Father must not like this younger brother.He gave Renly the mighty Storm's End and the poor Dragonstone to Stannis.

Now Renly would usurp the throne, just as his father had done to House Targaryen.But Stannis, who was on Dragonstone Island, had no army to help resist, only the fleet of the Velaryon family could slightly stop the Redwyne fleet.

According to Luo Jia's observation, this uncle seems to have something on his mind. He always sits quietly in the map hall, thinking about something, and only issues orders to let the fleet set off. .

Prince Rogar heard a series of noises: jingle, thud, jingle, jingling.

Shireen came, followed by her jester Patchface, and the sound came from the tin bucket and cowbell above Patchface's head. "Under the sea, birds have scales but no feathers," he said. "I know, I know, oh oh oh." He shut up as soon as he saw Roja, froze in fear.

"Brother, I had a nightmare," said Shireen. "I dreamed that the dragon was going to eat me."

"Then brother will help you slaughter that beast first." Luo Jia promised with a smile.

The little girl giggled, "Do you know how to slay a dragon?"

"Shoot it in the eye with a crossbow." Luo Jia gestured, "Like this, swish, shoot it through the eye, and it will fall."

Shireen smiled even sweeter, she was a lovely girl.Of course, my sister Myrcella is the cutest.

News came from King's Landing that on the third day after Rogar arrived at Dragonstone, Uncle Tyrion sent Myrcella to Dorne to marry Prince Doran's youngest son, Tristan, in order to suppress the Dornish people who were about to move.

Little sister Myrcella has a gentle and strong character, thinking of this, Roja's heart ached, if that Trystane dared to treat her badly, he would personally go and take her home.

"The one flying in the sky, the woman in the red dress told her mother that it was the breath of a dragon. If a dragon can breathe, it means that a dragon has come to life." Xilin said.

The red-robed girl, who Roga had seen before, preached alongside Madam Selyse, a priest who was devout to the point of madness, and believed in their Lord of Light.

House Targaryen had a pious king, Baelor the "God-blessed," who came close to bringing the nation to ruin.

Prince Roga hoped that his uncle would not be bewitched by that red-robed woman.Those who lack faith go to war for riches and castles.And these fanatics are real trouble, their eyes and hearts are full of madness, and if you want to treat them as allies, they will be more terrible than enemies.

Roja looked at Shireen and said, "The one in the sky is called a comet. It sweeps across the sky and will disappear soon. You will find out in a few days."

Shireen nodded: "Scholar Krissen said the same thing. He also showed us the white crow. The white crow can speak human language, and it calls me by my name. Brother, will it really snow?"

"Yes, it will be when winter comes." Both Roga and Shirene were born in the long summer and have never experienced severe winter. "But until then, let's hope for a full-fledged autumn."

"Well, I will pray to the Seven Gods." Shireen nodded sensibly.

The No.13 naming day of Prince Rogar has passed.He didn't tell those around him.He was busy exploring from the castle on Dragonstone to the outside.

He has been wandering around the crater recently, and he has somewhat confirmed the location of the dragon crystal.Ever since he fell into a pothole once, Villar, the captain of his guard, sent people to follow him everywhere.

He planned to consult his uncle Stannis, and then lead people to dig out the obsidian.

Jon's letter arrives very late.Also very long.

The commander-in-chief of the night watchman died. He didn't die in the battle between the ghosts at the Fist of the First Men, but on the way back.Killed Xiong Lao and Custer.

Jon wasn't there.He briefly wrote that he was captured by wildlings and then escaped.

Later, the wildlings attacked the Great Wall once, but were repulsed by the brothers of the Night's Watch.According to Jon's letter, many Night Watch brothers died, including the reliable Donal Noye.They killed a lot of wildlings, and there was a wildling girl named Ygritte with fire-kissed hair who died in Jon's arms.

The letter mentioned that they found some dragonglass at the Fist of the First Men, but unfortunately they didn't bring it back. Only Sam had a dragonglass dagger and a small amount of dragonglass arrows in his hand. Sam also killed a different ghost with that dagger.But dragonglass is useless against ghouls.

The White Walkers are afraid of dragonglass and dragonsteel (Varerian steel), while the wights are afraid of fire.Jon specifically emphasized.

His words are sad.So many people died.The enemies facing us are two forces again.He will find a way to make peace with the wildlings.

And now they have no way to retrieve the dragon crystal.

Valyrian steel swords are heirlooms of the houses of Westeros, rare and inalienable.

Maester Aemon has already sent letters to the continents of Westeros, Essos, and even Sossos, and all the ravens flew out.This is a war between humans and demons, involving the survival of all mankind.

Prince Roja ran up the spiral staircase of the Sea Dragon Tower, through the corridor, and through the black iron gate guarding the gargoyle, but the guards did not stop him.He rushed into the hall of tables and tables.

"Prince Rogar arrives," Maester Pylos hastily called out.

Luo Jia nodded to the several knights present.He looked at Stannis, who was sitting at the head seat.

"Uncle, have you received the night watchman's letter?" Rogar asked eagerly.

Stannis nodded.Signal Maester Pylos to hand over a piece of parchment.

Luo Jia took it and looked at it, "We must go to the Great Wall immediately, uncle. In addition, we need to find a ship to dig out the dragon crystal and transport it there. After all..."

"You wandered around the island looking for the dragonglass, the fabled frozen fire?" Stannis looked at him with dark eyes.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Uncle, I should ask you for instructions first before acting." Roja regretted.He should have asked his uncle for help sooner, Stannis has an unkind personality, and that's where he can be trusted.

Stannis' jaw tightened, and he gritted his teeth lightly.

"There are a lot of obsidian buried in the ancient tunnels at the bottom of the volcano, which is what you call dragon crystals. One by one, they form ore layers. I remember that most of them are black, but there are also green, red, and even purple. I have ordered Sir Roland to bring Mining. As for you, there are other things," said Stannis.

He waved away several knights and nobles present, leaving behind Maester Cressen, Davos the Onion Knight, and Prince Rogar.

He looked at Luo Jia, still using that uncomfortable cold gaze, and the joyful Luo Jia no longer cared.Stannis spat out a sentence slowly: "We can lead the vassals of Dragonstone to the Great Wall, or we can go to King's Landing first, it depends on your decision, Your Majesty Rogar."

Roja thought he had a problem with his ears. He ignored the address and said, "Let's rush to the Great Wall. Lord Velaryon's fleet can go directly north to East China Sea Watch. If the combat power is not enough, we can also hire some mercenary groups, such as The Golden Company and the Second Sons."

"The Golden Company is hired by the Volantenes, and the Second Sons are hired by the Yunkai'i, and they are all gone to Slaver's Bay. Besides, you don't understand me, maester, give him some paper."

Maester Cresson handed another letter to Prince Rogar.
