Chapter 335 Whose dragon?
Chapter 335 Whose Dragon?
Suddenly.
A dragon's roar, as muffled as a bell, came from afar, and the long single tone contained a strong warning meaning.
Damon frowned, and he heard the dragon roar coming from the ferocious beast that was born from a wild dragon.
“Uncle, do you want to compete with me when you go to the martial arts arena?”
Rhaegar was the first to speak out. He looked at each person and the dragon calmly, and said calmly: "Are you riding a horse or controlling a dragon?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge black dragon shadow cut through the sky and landed suddenly outside the east side of the competition ground.
The glutton planted his feet on the ground, looking down at the person and the dragon in the arena with his ferocious dragon head. His wide, dark wings spread out, and the shadow enveloped half of the arena.
“Hiss…”
Leng Buding noticed a hint of amusement in Damon's eyes, and Rhaegar quickly noticed something was wrong.
Each in the east and south, there is a behemoth looking at the white stone building, a famous blood worm crawling in the competition field, and an unknown dragon hiding in secret.
Thinking about it, Rhaegar cursed in his mind: "Despicable, deliberately used words to mislead him."
Just like he wanted to inherit the throne of his elder brother, but his elder brother gave birth to six children, which almost shattered his succession line.
“Hehe~”
No one will remain indifferent if the world's largest dragon stands behind him.
“Your Majesty, Damon wants to prepare a gift for you, but we are late.”
Four dragons appeared one after another, which greatly stimulated the audience present.
Daemon already had a countermeasure. He looked down at his nephew arrogantly and said with a smile: "Rhaega, when did you get into the habit of putting on makeup when you go out and find a new female companion?"
Rhaegar was stunned when he heard this, recalling the lipstick marks left by Margaery on her cheeks.
Both parties are Targaryen's male heirs. Daemon has spent more money than him, so it is appropriate for each other to show some dignity.
On the high platform, Viserys glanced at Vhagar sensitively, straightened his clothes and maintained the king's demeanor.
Lanner curtsied and saluted, with a hint of helplessness in her apologetic tone.
Rega turned around in shock and stared at the fat man with an unkind look.
The fat referee came out of nowhere, rang the gong and shouted: "It seems that our Prince Rhaegar is very popular with the girls, and he keeps kissing him!"
He was just thinking, why didn't Wormisor come out to protect the Lord like a glutton?
Lanner got off the dragon's back and walked slowly, holding her slightly bulging belly.
Another sharp roar came from the direction of Divine Eye Lake, and then the thin clouds and mist on the horizon were seen stirring, and a light gray dragon shadow was looming.
Damon raised his hand and tapped both sides of his face, and couldn't help but mockingly said: "The lip marks left before the competition seem to have brought you good luck."
I thought that my good uncle who was a libertine was going to expose him in public.
Rhaegar held his head high and his eyes were full of interest.
Rhaegar's heart skipped a beat, and his attention focused on the word "female companion."
——
In order to cater to her pregnant body, she only wore a plain white dress and a red vest.
He likes to watch the scene where his good uncle is trapped in a cocoon and cannot get off the stage.
In the fighting arena.
Lei Jian smiled cheerfully, but in fact his back molars were almost broken.
Except for that one time in Volantis, he had placed Sister Daniela in a safe place and had no personal contact with them.
Damn the jester, ruin his reputation.
With the appearance of Lanner, the originally tense atmosphere on the high platform was greatly relieved, and there was no need to worry about what would happen to the uncle and nephew.
…”
“Hahaha~”
Many nobles were sweating profusely, intuitively feeling that Targaryen was called "the person closest to God".
Although I am not willing to do so, there is nothing I can do about it.
Viserys forced out a sincere smile: "It doesn't matter, you are pregnant, please take a seat."
Daemon caught a glimpse of the glutton and the gray figure hiding its head and tail, and knew that the provocation of his nephew was coming to an end.
Lannar touched her belly, smiled and walked back to sit next to her mother Rhaenys.
But there is nothing to lose. Romance is a formalism pursued by nobles.
Looking at my good uncle, the tension eased slightly.
Damon looked proud as he stood up from the saddle and climbed down the ladder onto the dragon's back.
Daemon was the first to laugh, and many nobles who had heard about it followed closely behind, making the whole room burst into laughter.
But he obviously thought wrong.
His compatibility with Colakxiu is very good, and most of the time the stable chain on the saddle is not needed.
This time he was wearing armor, and he didn't even bother to tie the chains.
Rhaegar dismounted, lifted the scarlet cloak off the horse's head, and led the white horse to the rest area.
After being intimidated by the roars of several dragons, the white horse managed to hold on without falling to the ground. It was already a good horse.
The squire came to take over the reins, and Rhaegar carefully warned: "Take good care of it, it hasn't been able to play recently."
“Hiss…”
Colakxiu neighed, flapped his wings and quickly rose into the air, his long snake-like scarlet body swaying flexibly.
Rhaegar was too lazy to answer and found Tormund, who had been waiting for a long time.
Daemon passed him by, looking for the king's brother with a successful smile on his face.
…
The corner of the arena.
Rhaegar opened his hands, and two Unsullied helped him remove his armor.
Tormund stood behind him, his voice regretful: "Prince, there have been a lot of news and rumors in the past few days. I am sure of two things, one is good and the other is bad."
“Bad thing.”
Rhaegar kept his cool, wanting to hear how bad the bad thing was.
“As for Storm’s End, two **** are trying to restore their surname and inherit the Baratheon family legacy.”
Tormund is straightforward. “It’s just a dream,” Rhaegar said with a frown.
There are very few cases of illegitimate children regaining their surnames. Once they have a surname, the illegitimate children will have legal inheritance rights.
The government of Storm's End is temporarily ruled by Lady Elena and Rhaenys, and the **** have no right to speak.
Tormund said in detail: "Two illegitimate children are not simple. They or the people behind them have won the support of most of the nobles of the Stormland and a small number of the nobles of the Valley and the Reach."
“The Dondarrion family in Darkport and the Swann family in Cape Wrath?” Rhaegar asked doubtfully.
These two families have a long history in the Stormlands and have great influence, but they should not affect the Valley and the Reach.
“Besides these two families, there should be a small unorganized group.”
Tormund gave an example: "Dr. Jason of Casterly Rock once openly criticized Lady Jeyne for managing the Vale and suggested that the king consider illegitimate children to inherit Storm's End."
Then he also told the origins of the two illegitimate children.
He has remained with Lord Dondarrion and served as an infantryman for three years. He participated in the war in Dorne March.
The younger one was named Arnold Storm, the illegitimate son of Duke Boros, born from an affair with the wet nurse of Earl Sven's eldest son.
He was a blacksmith's apprentice when he was young. Later, because of his physical strength, he was accepted as a knight's squire by Earl Sven. He fought on the battlefield in the Second Battle of the Steps.
“No wonder Dondarrion’s old man and Lord Sven support two bastards.”
Rhaegar sneered and changed the subject: "Where's the good news?"
Emond's eyes were reserved and he whispered: "Laris Strong is dead."
Rega was startled for a moment, counted the time, and said puzzledly: "One month has passed, and he should die."
After the Laris trial, he should have been exiled directly.
Leonor was worried that his second son would be seriously injured and die on the way, so he delayed him in the dungeon of the Red Castle for two months before sending the recovered Larisse and a dozen prisoners to the night watchman's prison car.
At the slow speed of the prison van, it would take about a month to reach the vicinity of Jingze.
Rhaegar expected that there would be many mosquitoes, rats, and ants in the path, making it prone to diseases such as dysentery. It would be a good place for Laris to die unexpectedly from illness or from a wild beast attack.
Tormund shook his head: "Laris did not lose his life according to the death method we set. He was burned to death by dragon flames."
Rhaegar was shocked when he heard this.
Tormund continued: "A few days ago, the information from the spies was lost. I transformed into a raven to search, and found a piece of scorched earth in Jingze. Including our shadows, there were more than a dozen scorched corpses."
“Laris is a useless man, who can control a dragon and kill him?” Rhaegar was sifting through suitable candidates in his mind.
“Judging from the burn marks on the ground, the dragon is at least an adult dragon, and it cannot be caused by a sub-adult dragon like Yang Yan.”
Tormund was well-founded and made a bold analysis: "I suspect it is the king's Wormithor."
Rhaegar fell silent.
The term "adult dragon" is very general. Dragons over 60 years old can be called adult dragons, and they are all mature in terms of body shape and temperament.
Excluding the masterless dragons, the adult dragons in the family include Dreamfire, Sheepstealer, Bloodworm, Red Queen...
There are also three behemoths: Vhagar, Glutton, and Vormithor.
After a moment, Rhaegar asked: "Are the other dragons not suspected?"
Tormund said: "There are more or less doubts, but the king is the most suspicious and has the best reason."
Helena travels on the Dreamfire every day, and Aemond is forced to take his fiancée with him to play with the dragon.
After Corakxiu recovered, Daemon and Lanarr rode the dragon and traveled beyond the Narrow Sea.
After the first month of Viserys's freshness, Vermisor was put in the dragon's lair on Thousand Faces Island, and occasionally one person and one dragon would go out to relax.
Given the distance between Harrenhal and the Path, Vormisor can fly back and forth in half a day, stopping to spray out a puff of dragon flame with ease.
Laris made a big mistake and mastered the scandal of the royal family.
Viserys did have a good reason for killing him on the way.
Rhaegar thought for a long time and said cautiously: "Are you sure Laris is dead?"
Such a cunning person would rather have his legs broken than live, and he would not rest assured if he could not see the corpse.
Tormund thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "There is a charred corpse with broken legs among the ashes, and there is a golden ball in the broken palm."
Laris has a scepter that never leaves his body. There is a golden cicada carved out of the crack in the handshake, which melts into a golden ball.
Lei Jia’s purple eyes flashed and he asked strangely: “But why do I feel that he is not dead?”
The more I think about this, the more strange it becomes.
He understood why Harwin fought against him in the tournament.
Perhaps because he had no credibility, Yulong burned his brother who should have survived.
But my father is not a fool, so why would he do it so obviously?
Tormund lowered his eyes and thought of something strange.
“You said an insidious bug escaped death, where should he run?” Rega pointed out.
Tormund continued: "Then it depends on who saves him."
Laris is Alisson’s ally and the two have a close relationship.
Helena, Aemond, and Aegon are all suspected.
Dimon’s whereabouts are unknown and he is also a subject of suspicion.
Rhaegar pondered for a while and thought of several hiding places.
The Stonehedge City, the fiefdom of House Strong, the Towering Tower of Oldtown, and even Lord Jason's Casterly Rock with a bit of everything.
But there are loopholes in these places.
Stone Hedge City is the least likely, otherwise Harwin would not have gone crazy and paid the price of serious injury for his acting.
Hightower and Lannister are the best at protecting themselves and will not involve a single criminal.
Rhaegar’s eyes flashed and he looked at Tormund.
Tormund raised his head knowingly.
The two of them said in unison: "Red Castle!"
Allison and Otto are the most suspicious of the people who rescued Larris. The Red Castle is a good place to be in the dark under the light.
After months of hard work, the Red Keep was already within Rhaegar's power radius.
Immediately send out people to search and arrest everyone.
