Chapter 154: Abduction
A massive body, sturdy scales, sharp teeth and claws, and two beast-like vertical pupils......
Looking at the monster that was close at hand, constantly flapping its wings and staying in the air, Davos Seaworth fell to the ground with a frightened plop, and exclaimed, "Dragon...... Dragon ?!!!"
"That's right, allow me to introduce you to my dragon, Kulo Kirba. Do you remember the battleships that inexplicably ignited a fire on the Blackwater River? Oh, by the way, as a reminder, its temper is not very good, so you better not act rashly, otherwise I can't guarantee that the dragon flame will not spray on your face in the next second. With that, Zhang Cheng stretched out his hand and patted Long's huge hideous head.
Kulo Kirba opened his bloody mouth very cooperatively, and a faint fire flickered in the depths of his throat, as if a terrible flame was about to erupt from it.
"My God...... Davos clutched the talisman around his neck, his eyes shining with horror.
He couldn't believe that he had passed by a dragon in the first place, and if it weren't for his luck, he would have sunk to the bottom of the sea with those unlucky people to feed the fish.
You must know that since the Targaryens conquered the entire continent of Westeros with three dragons, everyone has realized that dragons are a more terrifying and destructive tool of war than armies, which is why there are so many people who are obsessed with dragons in the story of ice and fire.
The slavers of Astapor were even willing to trade an army of well-trained and well-equipped Unsullied Ones for a young dragon that had not yet grown.
It's not that they're stupid, it's that they understand that once a dragon grows up, no number of Unsullied will be able to fight a dragon soaring through the sky, as has been proven many times in actual combat during the time of Aegon the Conqueror, and only Dorne once managed to kill a dragon with his famous poison.
In addition, the traditional battle between the two armies, or the battle of the castle and the defense of the castle, is a happy barbecue meeting for the dragon, such as the Battle of the Burning Plains, in which Loren Lannister, King of Castle Rock, and Gardener Monn, King of Riverbend, united to gather more than 50,000 troops, and the battle instantly crushed Aegon's pitiful human army.
But then, Aegon summoned three dragons to join the battlefield, burning thousands of unlucky people in an instant, and the remaining soldiers soon crumbled in fear and despair.
A battle that was supposed to be won by more and fewer was rewritten by three dragons in this way......
Seeing the fierce reaction of the "Onion Knight", Zhang Cheng smiled playfully, turned around and stretched out his right hand to the trembling girl: "Come on, Your Royal Highness the lovely princess." Don't be afraid, I promise it won't hurt you. ”
"Really?" said Celine Baratheon's tone with a mixture of fear and curiosity.
"Of course, don't you want to feel like you're flying in the sky on a dragon?" Zhang Cheng continued to tempt.
He still prefers to use a gentler way than to take a strong approach to take away the girl in front of him.
After lowering her head and hesitating for a few seconds, little Celine's curiosity finally overcame her fear, took Zhang Cheng's right hand, stepped on Kulo Kirba's head, and sat firmly on the dragon saddle.
Seeing that the abduction was successful, Zhang Cheng also jumped on the back of the dragon, took off his cloak and put it on the girl, and then said to the "onion knight" in the corner: "Bring a message to Stannis for me, and say that I will take his daughter." As for when he will come back, it depends on his performance. If he could make a comeback and become the master of the Iron Throne, I would immediately return little Celine to his side, but if he fails, then I'm sorry, this little guy is safer to stay with me. ”
"Damn! you can't do this! You're kidnapping!" Davos scolded, plucking up his courage.
"Kidnapping? No, no, no, I think it's a kind of protection in disguise, and you have no idea what crazy things people who are obsessed with power can do. Okay, I don't want to waste too much of a word with you, just remember to bring my words, goodbye. ”
As the last word blurted out, Zhang Cheng gently kicked the dragon's neck.
Kulo Kirba, who received the order, immediately flapped his wings vigorously and began to climb high into the air, leaving the castle far behind in the blink of an eye, and several archers who heard Davos's cry tried to shoot arrows at the dragon, but before the arrows could catch up, they lost their strength and fell from mid-air.
Passing through Blackwater Bay in the southern part of Westeros, the dragon flies west along the borders of Dorne.
As the two of them were about to arrive in Bright Water City, the sun finally slowly rose over the horizon, dispelling the last darkness before dawn and bringing light and heat to the entire world.
Little Celine tried to widen her eyes, admiring the rare magnificent scenery in front of her, and her whole person began to tremble with excitement.
Flying at high altitude for several hours in a row made her face white with cold, and her hands and feet were as cold as ice cubes, but this did not affect the joy in her heart in the slightest.
After all, she longed to go out and see the world more than to stay in the dark castle all day, not to mention now riding a terrifying dragon soaring in the blue sky.
Zhang Cheng didn't disturb the girl in his arms, and quickly motioned for Kulo Kerba to fly towards the cave in the back mountain.
After a while, he appeared in the castle with the abducted little Lori.
"Your Excellency, this ...... This is?!"
Lady Inigo, who had just woken up and was eating breakfast, undoubtedly recognized Stannis's only daughter, and was surprised that even the spoon fell on the table.
"Relax, from now on, she is my adopted daughter, understand?" Zhang Cheng hinted in a low voice.
The latter seemed to think of something, and hurriedly nodded: "Understood! She is your adopted daughter!"
"Go ahead, let Delhi come to me, I have something to do. Don't forget to drop by and have some hot soup and omelette delivered to my room from the kitchen. After giving the order, Zhang Cheng took the girl's hand and returned to his bedroom.
As a cautious man, he knew that searching for the meteorite buried deep underground would never be an easy task, so he had to be well prepared, rather than riding a dragon to Valyria with a hot brain.
In his plan, he needed at least one expedition ship, about 150 sailors and soldiers, including ropes, heads, food, drinking water, oil lamps, and a series of tools that might be used.
In addition, since Valyria is a standard magical civilization, the Targaryen family does not dare to go back to dig up the valuable treasures in the ruins when they are at their strongest, and he must be prepared to deal with supernatural forces.
Anyway, Zhang Cheng always had a premonition in his heart that there was something terrible waiting for him next to that meteorite......
