Chapter 354 Traces of the Wild Dragon
Entering the parliament hall, Pantos and his party's eyes immediately fell on the throne.
The black-haired minister with a golden scale on his chest stepped forward and said seriously: "Your Majesty of the Seven Kingdoms, Pantos sends you greetings."
Prince Regio nodded and smiled, placing one hand on his chest and saluting.
Viserys had a normal expression, holding a black fire pestle, and said calmly: "Welcome, distinguished guests of the Free Trade City."
It was obvious that the young king, who always had a smile on his face, was not really welcoming.
A shrewd look flashed in Prince Reggio's eyes, and he took the initiative to open the topic: "Your Majesty, as the Prince of Pentos, I come with a sincere vision, hoping to reach a friendly alliance with the Targaryen Dynasty."
“Really? The Free Cities have always looked down upon the poverty and backwardness of Westeros.”
Viserys snorted and raised his head proudly.
The family owns more than a dozen giant dragons, and he has tamed the Bronze Wrath Wormisor. He is very proud of his abundant confidence.
Looking at her obviously curved belly, Rhaegar raised his hand to support her and said with concern: "You should have a good rest in the bedroom."
Before the black-haired minister could speak, Prince Regio interrupted directly and said frankly: "Prime Minister Strong, as far as I know, the Three Women's Kingdom is allied with Prince Martell of Dorne, and Prince Martell is in turn with Braavos Alliance."
The two sides sang in harmony, and their intentions were obvious.
Rhaegar remained silent and wandered.
As he spoke, Prince Reggio looked at Viserys on the throne and said with a straight face:
“Your Majesty the Iron Throne, it is impossible for your family to cope with the addition of Braavos and Dorne at the same time. In order to avoid the fire of war burning your homeland, you should make preparations in advance.”
Rhaenyra was probably pregnant with twins. The bulge in her belly was much larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. It had already grown in size in three months.
For the time being, he only had two things on his mind.
The people in the hall can be said to be all talented people, with various forces and groups.
“The prince believes that the enemy of his enemy is his friend, and Pentos and the Iron Throne should be allies.”
The conversation was left to Prime Minister Leonor, who secretly thought about the pros and cons.
The neckline is dotted with red diamonds, the top is strung with fine pearls, and a sparkling golden necklace is worn around the snow-white neck.
There is no problem in forming an alliance with Pentos, but we cannot easily get involved in the war net designed by Daemon.
It seems that because of the pregnancy, the strength of the past is gone, but she is a bit coquettish.
Following that, the two sides had a hearty conversation.
…”
Although the two sides are blood relatives, they are clearly divided into two forces.
All said and done, it is nothing more than uniting with the Iron Throne to attack the Three Women's Kingdom to satisfy the greed of some ambitious people.
Rhaegar was really worried about her, fearing that she might feel uncomfortable.
The smile on his face was just polite and friendly, and no longer meant to please.
Rhaegar was helpless when he heard the sound and led her into the hall.
After the incident of Yan Hai Ye Long, he once again paid attention to the wolf ambition of the Three Women Kingdom.
The two siblings walked into the hall hand in hand and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Rhaenyra walked slowly towards her, followed by her maid Sarah.
The wild dragon of the Smoke Sea escaped after Rhaenyra gave birth to her son and was injured.
Aiming at the Three Women Country!
Viserys frowned in displeasure, his gaze passed over the sea serpent Corliss who was watching the whole process, and then fell on Prime Minister Leonor.
Rhaenyra smiled in unison, her bright eyes faintly passing through the crowd.
Among the members of the Royal Council, the positions are even more interesting.
Because of her pregnancy, Rhaenyra was no longer suitable to wear various long waisted skirts, so she chose an exquisite dress with white lining and blue-white satin stitching.
Leonor consciously stepped out and said with a serious face: "The Iron Throne will not reject a sincere ally. However, the Three Women's Kingdom has suffered two defeats. I think they dare not act rashly again."
Rhaenyra put her hand on his forearm and said with a smile: "I heard that guests are coming, so I came out to join in the fun."
Pentos and his party needless to say, they are helpers invited by Damon.
Damon nodded cooperatively: "Yes, the Three Women's Kingdom sent a large number of patrol ships into the disputed land, which is very unfriendly."
Compared with this, Prince Regio, who used to be so majestic, seemed a little embarrassed and didn't know how to respond.
Even though her long hair is spread casually around her shoulders, she still looks gorgeous.
Viserys frowned deeper and deeper, hearing the words that the Three Women's Kingdom would start a war at any time.
Corlys, the sea serpent, stood with Rhaenys, and Daemon stood with Lannar.
The dark-haired minister next to him glanced at Damon, who was watching the show with his chest crossed, and then said, "Your Majesty, the Three Women's Kingdom has accumulated armaments and is very likely to make a comeback."
Rhaegar turned his head and glanced, and hurried to the door to greet him.
As soon as the thought came up, footsteps were heard outside the hall.
“The three parties peeked not only at the disputed area, but also at the entire free trade city-state and maritime routes.”
Taking a moment to glance at the eldest son, I wanted to see what he was thinking.
Prime Minister Leonor stood alone in front of the throne and talked with the visitors.
The first seat at the bottom is Lin Man, the Finance Minister who is good with Leonor.
Minister of Civil Affairs Otto and Minister of Justice Jaspi stood together.
Grand Maester Orville and Chief Intelligence Officer Tormund stood on the edge next to Rhaegar.
The three parties represent the king, queen and prince respectively.
There are also figures of the Kingsguard in the hall.
Commander Elik Kagel also attended the royal meeting and was always guarding the king.
Seeing Rhaenyra with a swollen belly, Pentos and the others nodded in greeting.
Prince Regio even stepped forward in person and said eagerly: "Your Royal Highness, forgive me for not being able to catch up with you and the prince in time for the ceremony. It is a lifelong regret."
"It doesn't matter. If you can come to Dragonstone Island, I will treat you well."
Rhaenyra looked dignified, smiled and exchanged pleasantries.
Dragonstone was her fiefdom, and only she had the right to speak the word hospitality.
“Thank you, beautiful princess.”
Regio waved, and the noble woman who followed him presented a wooden box and said cheerfully: "This is one of the gifts I prepared for you and the prince. Please open it and take a look."
Rhaenyra glanced at Rhaegar, and after receiving the approval, she opened the wooden box, revealing a transparent glass candle as thick as a baby's fist. Prince Reggio introduced: "I bought this from an alchemist. It belonged to the ancient Valyrian period."
Rhaegar's eyes narrowed, and he reached out to touch the glass candle, secretly urging the magic power to seep in.
“This exploration mission has begun, and the target is the blood witch’s secret candle.”
The system prompts the sound of the second glass candle relic.
Calling out the system panel.
【Blood Witch's Secretary Candle】
Exploration progress: 0.5%
“Thank you for your kindness, it is a very memorable gift.”
Rhaegar took back his hand and politely thanked him.
Prince Regio smiled and said: "I have heard about your hobby of collecting antiquities, and there is an ancient sculpture of the Virgin, one of the seven gods. I specially prepared it for the princess, and I wish the Virgin to protect the fetus in her belly."
The words are very cordial, flattering and decent at the same time, and accurately address what people want.
As the saying goes, don’t hit someone with a smiling face. Rega smiled and said, “I see your enthusiasm, Prince.”
No wonder Daemon is friends with such arrogant people.
It was not that Daemon was entertained by him when he traveled to Pentos, but that he knew how to control people's hearts.
This move won the favor of Rhaegar and Rhaenyla, and the conversation became much smoother.
Viserys was tired from sitting and suggested: "Prince, I have prepared a reception banquet, please move on and talk later."
“It’s up to the guest to do as he pleases.” Prince Regio had a good attitude.
…
Afternoon, near the sea cliff.
“Hiss…”
The dull dragon roar echoed over and over again. The dark dragon lay lazily on the lawn, roaring from deep in its throat.
“Good fellow, I’m still depressed about my failure in hunting.”
Rhaegar was facing the huge dragon head, rubbing the rough scales on his lower jaw with both hands.
Glutton's green vertical pupils were closed, and his broad black wings were stretched out. Shadows covered hundreds of meters under the sun, and he continued to sleep lazily.
The skin injury with broken scales has healed, but the fractured bone on the left wing is almost boring, making it rather boring.
That Yanhai Wild Dragon is pretty strong, with a superior dragon flame shape and a very fast flying speed.
The huge dragon head is a special feature, and its mouth full of fangs is extremely lethal.
Rhaegar was staggered by the strong wind flapping his wings and fell to the ground.
Rolled his eyes, lying on his back and observing the terrifying black dragon in front of him.
A single dragon head covers an area larger than a house.
The thick dragon neck is seven to eight meters in diameter, and its pitch-black scales look like they are made of steel.
From end to end, it is approximately between 120 and 125 meters, and cannot be accommodated in the vestibule of an ordinary castle.
A pair of wide, jet-black wings spread out, with the distance between the two ends being no less than 220~235 meters. When flying in the sky, it can be said to block out the sky and the sun.
The size is only less than one-fifth smaller than Vhagar, and it is at the peak of a dragon's life.
“Hiss…”
The glutton suddenly opened his green vertical pupils, stood up with his huge body supported by his wings, and let out a low growl of warning.
Rhaegar turned his head and saw Tormund in black and white robes leading the way. A team of dragon guards came carrying a three-meter-high bronze statue.
The statue is of a woman with a compassionate face, the Virgin, one of the Seven Gods.
Rhaegar couldn't help but feel happy.
Two monks at Harrenhal repeatedly asked for a bronze statue of the Virgin, but someone gave it to them instead.
The statue landed on the ground and Rhaegar looked at it carefully.
It is a very old carving process, with a green oxide layer exuding from the surface, and the original golden color of the bronze can no longer be seen.
Hand out his hand to touch it, a system prompt sounded in his ear.
“This exploration mission has begun, and the target is the ancient bronze Madonna statue.”
Rhaegar smiled and called up the explorer panel.
【Ancient Bronze Madonna】
Exploration progress: 0.3%
“Another relic, I don’t know what treasures can be found.”
Rhaegar nodded secretly and ordered: "Put the statue on the cliff first. I will spend the night with Glutton tonight."
“Yes, Prince.”
Long Wei responded respectfully and left in groups.
Rhaegar sat down cross-legged, leaning against the statue of the Virgin, and the exploration progress continued to increase.
He didn’t want to put things of unknown origin into the Stone Drum Tower.
Of course, there are some small reasons.
“Rhaenaela is terrible.”
Muttered something in a low voice, Rhaegar helplessly held his forehead.
According to Grand Maester Owell, a woman’s desires in certain aspects will become stronger after conception.
Rhaegar spent three nights trying to please Rhaenyra since the day of the ceremony.
It just so happened that the other party was pregnant, so he didn’t dare to make any big move.
Rhaenyra fell into a deep sleep after her joy. He was so depressed that his face turned red and he couldn't sleep well at all.
If he doesn't hide away, the dark circles under his eyes will come back again.
“Prince, there are messages from Shiliu, as well as some rumors about Pentos and Braavos.”
Tormund stood by and took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.
Rhaegar took the letter and read it, his eyes becoming serious.
The first sentence of the letter:
【The wild dragon in the smoke sea appeared in the waters of Lys, and fishermen claimed that the dragon's blood scalded the fish and shrimp in the sea to death】
