Chapter 42: The Three Dragons
The dracod's temporary home in Meereen is in a cellar, which is located at the bottom of the Great Pyramid, and is also known as the Pit.
The pit is 40 feet (12.19 meters) deep, large enough to hold 500 people, and was once used as a prison by the great lords, and in the episode of Fire and Ice, this pit is where Daenerys chained her two dragons, Viserion and Rego.
However, in Ma Shen's opinion, although Daenerys's method is not advisable, her location is still quite good.
The pit is spacious and depressing, and it is enough for the three young dragons to wander around at will when they are fine.
As for the lighting, there is no problem, as long as all the long lamps in the cellar are lit, it is still brightly lit, after all, you can't imprison two dragons in the deep pit of Black Blout Winter without thinking like Daenerys did, and not even a single lamp, just use a long chain to confine the two dragons to a narrow place.
Fortunately, the Western Dragons are more tolerant of the environment, and later the little demons released them again, otherwise if it takes a long time, any intelligent creature will become extremely violent.
In addition, the pit also has one of the most important advantages, that is, it is strong, as long as the stone wall door is closed at night, the three dragons can be tossed inside, and they can't get out anyway.
In this way, there is a lot less worry, lest the three puberty young dragons not be able to think about it, and they don't know where to fly after breaking free from the restrictions.
Speaking of which, in fact, there is a question Ma Shen has always been very curious about, how did the dragon in the world of ice and fire grow so fast, just like eating growth hormone, it has grown up visibly in less than a month.
Now the wings are almost the width of three people, and maybe three or four strong men can't control them.
You said that even for ordinary people, it would take you nearly 20 years to fully develop.
Then these legendary Western dragons with a very long lifespan, can sleep for decades at a time, and have a hundred years of growth How can they jump through the juvenile period in such a short time, go through the growth period, and soon become mature bodies, as if they have fully converted the food they eat into muscles, eat more, pull less, cough cough. To put it this way, it is still in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.
For this unscientific situation, thinking about it, it can only be explained that it is for the development of the plot. Rยท R. Martin, nicknamed the 100-year-old horse, is chubby and advocates change, otherwise if the dragon in the normal sense grows up and the flowers are gone, the glamorous Daenerys has become an old woman with charm.
Well, I accidentally ripped it off again, all in all, relative to the advantages, the disadvantage of not having many deep pits is that the environment is slightly damp, the smell is not too good, and it is not suitable for humans to live for a long time, of course, there is no difference for dragons with rough skin and thick flesh.
At this time, Ma Shen, who planned to take the dragon out for a walk, took a dozen guards to the temporary dragon's lair.
As he walked, he had not yet reached the entrance of the pit when he saw six Unsullied men standing guard on both sides of the stone gate with spears in hand.
It was a huge stone gate, the height of four people, and not far from the stone gate, there was a manservant with a large wooden basin who was wandering back and forth at the stone gate, looking very hesitant.
Just as they didn't see the valet, the six Unsullied men guarding the pit looked straight ahead, turning a blind eye to the manservant's behavior, and did not drive him away, apparently they also knew the manservant, and should be an acquaintance.
As the distance approached, the manservant who was worried heard the sound of dense footsteps behind him, turned around and looked, and immediately recognized Ma Shen's identity from his outfit.
"Your Highness. The manservant hurriedly put the tub aside and fell to his knees respectfully.
"Get up. Ma Shen waved his hand, then glanced at the bloody pieces of flesh in the wooden basin on the ground and asked, "Is this all food for the young dragons?"
"Yes, Your Highness, now is the time to feed the dragon. The manservant slowly stood up with his head down, looking a little nervous.
"Hey Dragon?" Ma Shen shook his head strangely, "I remember that it was usually fed by Daenerys. โ
"Today, Her Highness Daenerys is attending a class in the newly built school, and she doesn't have time to come, so she entrusted me to feed the dragon. The valet explained.
In fact, this was the first time he had been in charge of feeding the dragons, and he usually prepared the food and then stood by with a basin and watched Daenerys feed it.
But even so, every time he fed, he would see the three evil dragons chewing on the pieces of meat in their mouths, and at the same time staring straight at him, as if they had seen food.
He has always been afraid that they will bite him in the next moment, so this is also the reason why he has been wandering in front of the stone gate before, not everyone has the courage to feed dragons with their bodies, and in his heart, I am afraid that His Royal Highness Daenerys will feed these three evil dragons with a smile on his face.
Looking at the sweat on the manservant's forehead, Ma Shen said in a gentle tone: "Don't be afraid, let's go in together." โ
Hearing Ma Shen say this, the manservant breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, he still hesitated to remind: "Your Highness, please be careful, these three dragons... These three dragons may not have a good temper. โ
"It's fine. Ma Shen waved his hand, took a few steps forward, and came to the stone gate.
Seeing this, the two Unsullied Ones standing on both sides immediately walked to the side of the stone gate and pulled what looked like an iron rod hard, and then under the manipulation of the Unsullied One, the stone gate was slowly removed with the help of a precision mechanism.
"Roar!"
"Roar!!"
Hearing the sound of the stone gate moving, the young dragon inside, who had been hungry for a long time, let out a few dull roars.
The momentum is good, it seems that you have been doing well in the past few days, hearing the roar of the dragon, Ma Shen didn't care at all, and walked inside with a calm face.
However, Ma Shen was not worried, but the guards behind him did not dare to take it lightly at all, and each of them held a huge fine iron shield prepared in advance, carefully surrounding Ma Shen and walking inside.
"Roar!" Before they had taken a few steps, suddenly everyone felt a wave of heat rush towards them with the roar of a dragon.
"Protect Your Highness!"
"Shield!"
"Shield!"
The dragon's roar stirred the already tense nerves of the guards, and one by one they roared and erected their shields in front of Ma Shen.
The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.
"It doesn't matter. Ma Shen, who was being protected, patted the guard in front of him on the shoulder and looked ahead.
Not far away, I saw three reptiles covered in scales, wings and legs, that is, dragons, looking at me fiercely.
The appearance of the three dragons is very recognizable.
The largest dragon in the middle, spreading its huge wings, is called... Named after his late husband Drogo Kao, Daenerys has black scales, dense and sharp teeth, and is the largest and most aggressive of the three dragons, just as a grumpy man can easily be recognizable, anyone who sees him can sense his irascible at first sight.
Then there was the dragon that was prostrate to the right of Drogon, and it was a young green dragon, and his name was ... Named after his late brother Rhaegar Targaryen, Daenerys is a dragon with turquoise and bronze scales that are darker like moss in the deep forest in the twilight.
The scales reflected like jade, its teeth and claws were black, its eyes were bronze, brighter than a polished shield, shining with its own heat, and like the color of its body, he could spew orange and yellow flames from its green throat.
Then there was the dragon standing to Aegon's right, a milky white young dragon, his name was ... Viserys, named by Daenerys in honor of her brother Viserys.
Unlike the other two brothers, most of his scales were creamy white, but his horns, wingbones, and crown were golden, with two rows of shiny black-bladed teeth, two pools of molten gold eyes, and a pale golden glow of red-orange flames spewed out.
However, I have to say that Daenerys's naming level is also relatively limited, and she names the dragon after the names of people she is familiar with, Ma Shen shook his head and sighed with a heavy heart.
("Chirp!!") The long chirping of horses echoed in the stables, and the black rabbit, who had been obediently eating, suddenly became extraordinarily active for some reason. ๏ผ
