Chapter 0624 - Dragon Species
"Sir Victarion, what do you want me to reward you?" Daenerys' voice trembled.
Victor had a thousand thoughts in an instant, becoming the lord of the Iron Islands, getting a reward of money, marrying?—— but Machiro told him that it was absolutely impossible - to be the queen's pure man like Dario?
"Your Majesty, I haven't figured it out yet. ”
"Tell me when you think clearly, and I'll reward you with what I can do and what I can do!" Daenerys smiled at Victorion.
She had been given the Dragon's Horn, the rumored treasure of the dragon's mastery, and she decided to postpone it until the Dothraki steppe, where she would first study the way the horn was played, its control over the dragon, and the words on the horn to be copied down and taken with her, and if she met a wise man or a scholar, she would consult someone of great knowledge who was very famous and knowledgeable.
Victarion still wanted to become a dragon knight, but he was cautious and decided not to say it for the time being. He also had something to ask Manero, and he wanted to find out if Machiro would have any other way to make him a dragon knight if he didn't have Targaryen blood.
He didn't want to be taken advantage of by Macchiro, who had promised him to help him become a dragon knight, and if he couldn't, he wouldn't mind cutting off Machiro's head or stabbing him in the eye.
Macchiro needed a pair of eyes to see the revelation of the Red God from the flames, and blinding him was the most appropriate punishment for him. It's easy to explain in front of the queen, after all, he didn't kill Machiro.
It would be more appropriate for the queen to be rewarded with a great merit owed to herself!
Victor needs the truth from Macchiro!
*
At night, the battleship shook in the sea.
On the Invincible Iron, Victarion sits, with bottles on the table and on the ground. There are many styles of wine bottles, and each different style represents a different origin.
These wines come from all over the world and are all good wines.
Victor Talion is very fond of wine.
In the evening, as the sun set, Daenerys rewarded Victalion with a lot of wine.
On the opposite side of Victor Leone, sat the priest Machiro.
The priest had drunk a great deal of wine, and his face was dark.
"Machiro. Victarion grazed his tongue, "You stayed, and Your Majesty will not expel you from it, for I have offered your Dragon's Horn to Your Majesty as you will." ”
"Yes, Victalion. ”
"Did you deliberately take advantage of me?" Victalion laughed.
"I didn't, Commander. ”
Macchiro subtly stopped calling Viktarion by his name and replaced it with the Commander.
Victor Helion smiled: "Pastor, if I don't sacrifice the Dragon's Horn, Your Majesty won't change your mind, and you will have to get off the ship and leave, do you want to deny this?"
"I don't deny it. ”
"So you used your words to help me become a dragon knight as bait and made me offer the dragon's horn. You survived, but I can't become a dragon knight, because I don't have dragon blood. ”
Macchiro was silent, he could see that there was murder in Victalion's eyes, and Victarion was going to kill him.
"Bloodline! the blood of the Valyrian royal family, or the blood of the Valyrian dragons. Her Majesty has the blood of the Valyrian dragons, the appearance of the Valyrians, and she has also awakened the rare bloodline of the dragons. The bloodline and Valyrian form are the prerequisites for the dragon to confess the Lord, and you actually knew it, but you didn't tell me?
Macchiro's expression did not change: "The ancient Valyrian bloodline does have a powerful and irreplaceable advantage when making the dragon recognize the lord, and the person with the blood of the dragon people is called the dragon species, and the dragon species is the premise of conquering the dragon, but it is not absolute. ”
Victarion shrugged his shoulders and smiled, reaching out and grabbing the short knife at his waist and pulling it out with a whoosh.
Behind Machiro, two iron seeds and two short axes immediately appeared. Iron Islands Finger Dance's special short axe: A short-handled throwing axe that can be thrown and slashed.
"I can't tolerate being taken advantage of by you, pastor. Either you kill me with fire magic, or I'll cut off your head, or you gouge out your eyes. ”
"I'm not taking advantage of you, Commander. ”
"Then convince me how you can help me to become a dragon knight. ”
"Commander, have you heard the story of the wild dragon?" Although Machiro's title changed, his tone and expression remained unchanged, like an eternal mountain range.
"I'm not interested in listening to stories, priest!" Victorion glanced at the dagger on the table.
"If you want to be a dragon knight, give me a little time to finish this story. ”
Victorion stared at Machiro for a long time, the priest's expression did not change, and there was not the slightest fear of death in his eyes, and finally, Victorion nodded.
"My lord, I swear in the name of the red god Rahlo that all the stories I have told are true. ”
The priest swears in the name of the god in which he believes, and this is the heaviest oath of all, and the believer will never and dare not blaspheme his god, there is no doubt about that.
Victor believed Manero's oath and looked at the two Iron Guards behind Manero, who put away their axes and took a step back.
Victor Leone also slowly drew his short knife and inserted it into its scabbard.
"Lord Commander, in the year 130 of the Aegon calendar, there was a civil war between the Targaryen royal family, which lasted for three years, and the Black Party, led by Princess Rhaenyra, and the Green Party, led by Queen Hightower, fought for the Iron Throne in the throne hall. During these three years, dragon knights loyal to both sides fought in the sky, and many dragon knights died along with their dragons. Dragons become more and more rare and precious, and in the end, the life and death of each dragon is almost implicated in the final victory or defeat of one party. ”
"Princesses and queens, daughters and mothers, civil wars?" The history of the kingdom a hundred and seventy years ago was not at all familiar to Viktarion, who never read. His iron soldiers didn't even study.
Victor Leone poured wine for the priest.
Manero didn't drink, he continued slowly: "Princess Rhaenyra was the designated heir to the throne of the deceased King Viserys I, but her stepmother, Queen Hightower, gave birth to three sons, and after the king's death, Queen Hightower and the courtiers directly declared her eldest son Aegon II Targaryen to inherit the throne, and the conflict between the two sides broke out. ”
"Pastor, I've actually heard a ballad about Princess Rhaenyra, and it says that she is beautiful and talented. ”
"Yes, Princess Rhaenyra is the eldest daughter born to the king's first wife, she is beautiful and intelligent, and she has followed the king in court affairs since she was a child, and she is deeply loved by the king. She was given Dragonstone by the king and made the crown prince by the king. However, after the king's death, his second wife, Queen Hightower, immediately allowed his son Aegon to inherit the Iron Throne and rallied the Greens to attack Dragonstone, and war broke out. Both sides dispatched dragon knights, and in every battle between the two sides, dragons and dragon knights were killed. By the end, Princess Rhaenyra had fewer and fewer dragon knights, she had a lot of troops, but she lacked dragons. In the war of the dragons, the final victory is actually determined by the number of dragons. Whoever has the most dragon knights will win the Iron Throne at the end. ”
Victor nodded in agreement, and as he listened to the story, he poured himself a glass of wine.
"And on Dragonstone Island, there is a dragon mountain, on which a total of six dragons, three wild dragons, and three 'semi-wild' dragons live. Princess Rhaenyra's son, Jacaris Valerian, ordered the dragons on Dragonstone to tame the wild dragons in order to win the final war. ”
"Dragonseed!"
"The dragon species is not a good word around 130 years in the Aegon calendar, he is equivalent to the bastard child in the mouth of the common people. ”
"Bastard?" Victor said, taking the wine, slowly. He didn't care about drinking, he was patiently listening to the story, because Macchiro swore in the name of the red god Rahlo that the story had to do with him becoming a dragon knight.
"On Dragonstone, the people of the royal family have the right to the first night. ”
"Oh!"
"In the territory under the jurisdiction of Princess Rhaenyra, any person marries, and the noble children of the royal family have the right to the first night. Although the first night right has been banned by the king, Dragonstone Island is the crown prince's territory, and the children of the royal family and nobles have always had the privilege of the first night right. The first night power is also popular among the people, and the people feel very honored to be able to dedicate the first night of the daughter of their family to the dragon clan. Also because of the implementation of the right of the first night, in Dragonstone Island, among the people, there are many illegitimate children of the dragon people, and they are called dragon seeds because they are the life of the dragon race. ”
"Hmm!"
Princess Rhaenyra's eldest son, Jacaris Valerian, called on these dragons to go to Dragon Mountain to tame the six wild dragons, and three of them were tamed, which made Princess Rhaenyra's power surpass that of King's Landing, and the balance of victory began to tilt in favor of Dragonstone. But in Dragon Mountain, there are still three dragons that have not been tamed, they are the largest and most vicious glutton, the smallest and weakest gray shadow, and the most cunning and murderous sheep thief.
Many dragon species want to tame the sheep thief, but they are either swallowed by the sheep thief or bitten and burned by it. During that time, the dragons all went out to domesticate wild dragons, and the sheep thieves killed twice as many "dragons" as Grey Shadow and Gluttony combined.
The sheep thief is ugly, with brown mud scales and brown wings. The sheep thief was about eighty years old at the time.
The populace of Dragonstone named the dragon "The Sheep Thief" because of its special fondness for mutton. The sheep thieves hunt in a large area, from Chaotou Island to the Wende River.
Since every time the dragon species tries to tame the sheep thief, the gray shadow, or the glutton, it is either injured or killed, and in the end, no dragon species dares to tame the three-headed wild dragon anymore.
But there is a girl, who is not a dragon, and her appearance is not that of a Valyrian, she is the daughter of an ordinary commoner on Dragonstone, she is bent on becoming a dragon knight, and after careful research, she gives up on taming the gray shadow and the glutton, and she decides to go to Dragon Mountain to tame the sheep thief. ”
Victarion sat up straight, the story reached the point, how did a woman who wasn't a dragon tame a sheep thief?!He knew that Machiro was telling him the secret of how a person who didn't have dragon blood could become a dragon knight.
"The maiden, who had no Valyrian appearance and was named Castor, was not a dragon, nor did she have the Dragon's Horn or the secret art of dragon control, but she came up with a very simple way to train the dragon: every morning, she would go to Dragon Mountain and sacrifice a freshly slaughtered sheep near the nest of the sheep thief, so that the sheep thief would gradually accept her presence within its territory, and this time lasted for a long time. About a year later, one early morning, after eating the goat that Castor had given her, the sheep thief finally accepted Castor completely, and she leaned down and let Castor ride on it. For the rest of the day, Castor rode the sheep thief to fight for the Black Party, and at that time, Rhaenyra had seven dragon knights, while Aegon II had only four dragon knights. ”
"A year, how old was castor?"
"Sixteen!"
"Sixteen-year-old civilian girl dragon knight?"
"Yes!"
"It is impossible for a commoner girl to sacrifice a sheep to a sheep thief every day. ”
"All dragon species who dare to tame dragons with their lives, the royal family of Dragonstone Island will fully support them, castor is not a dragon species, but she dares to tame sheep thieves, and she also has the support of the royal family. ”
"The royal family of Dragonstone provided her with goats?"
"Yes. Lord Commander, the sheep thief likes to eat sheep, so it took a year to be conquered by the sixteen-year-old castor, and Rego likes to eat salted meat, if you want to become a dragon knight, you only need to feed it salted meat every day at a distance that Rego can accept, it takes time and needs to be very careful, but as long as you persevere, I think with the help of the Dragon's Horn and the Dragon Spell and Your Majesty, it will eventually accept you. ”
"A year later?"
"It won't be a year from now, Rego is not a wild dragon. ”
This sentence filled Victor with confidence.
The sheep thief is a wild dragon that has killed many dragon species, and no one can restrain it, and it took castor a year to get close to it, and he, to conquer Rego, obviously will not take a year at all.
"How long is it best?" said Victalion, pouring wine for Pastor Machiro.
"As soon as January. ”
Victor's eyes glowed green, and if he could become a dragon knight, he would be in vain in this life, even if he died.
"Your Majesty is going to the Dothraki steppes and will not give me a month to feed Rego bacon. ”
"Your Majesty owes you a reward. ”
"I beg Your Majesty to give me a month?"
"No, I beg your majesty to let you go with her to the grassland. ”
"Your Majesty rides a dragon, how can I keep up with her?"
"Ride a horse, bring salt, which is needed to marinate the bacon for Rego. The Dothraki are all on the ground and will not go into the air, and Her Majesty must eventually come to the ground, and she needs help. ”
*
Early the next morning, Victor and Manero arrived aboard the Bellerion.
Victor Talion knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty, please allow me to become a dragon knight." ”
"Is this your reward, Victorion?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. ”
"But I can only restrain Rego from harming you, and I can't force Rego to recognize you as Lord. ”
"I have my own way, Your Majesty, please leave the management of the fleet to Asha, I am willing to follow Your Majesty's side, be Your Majesty's attendant, and from today onwards, please allow me to follow Your Majesty to the Dothraki steppe. ”
Daenerys looks at Manero!
Manero said: "Your Majesty, I know the ancient Valyrian script, and I hope to help Your Majesty grasp the secret of the Dragon's Horn as soon as possible, when Your Majesty can command the three dragons through the Horn and Dragon Harness as he pleases, Your Majesty will need at least one dragon knight." I recommend to Your Majesty the Commander-in-Chief of Victorion. ”
Daenerys's side, a mediocre-looking young squire suddenly knelt down on one knee and said calmly: "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief Victor Talion is not a dragon, but I am!"
