Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 355

Chapter 355 Suspected Lost Dragon Egg

Rhaegar's eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but exert force while holding the letter with his knuckles.

“Prince, this is not good news, we should have prepared early.”

Tormund suggested softly.

Rhaegar was alert: "Tell Xiliu to pay attention to the trends in the Three Women's Kingdom at all times, and don't miss any news."

 The moment he saw the letter, he wanted to ride on Glutton and immediately search the waters of Lys.

 But this is too difficult to achieve.

An injured wild dragon can hide anywhere. The probability of success in finding the wild dragon in the sea of ​​smoke is far less than that of the Lysians on the waterside towers.

  Going there with the dragon will only cause trouble and attract the attention of the whole Reese to the wild dragon in the sea of ​​smoke.

Tormund nodded and said sadly: "Prince, this is just one of the many bad news."

Viserys did not like the young Lannare, and he did not dare to marry the Velaryon family, which was already powerful, and cause trouble for his relatives to interfere in politics.

“He is worthy of being one of the three first-generation dragons of the family. Melaxis at the same time was larger than Vhagar.”

Tormund analyzed rationally, handed over the letter, pointed to the last line of text, and said solemnly: "The former Sea King of Braavos was assassinated and died ten years ago. The jester who accompanied him for many years claimed that he hid a priceless treasure."

 “Dragon bone!”

Rhaegar sighed, feeling pity.

Tormund lowered his head, took out a letter from his arms again, and said hesitantly: "The shadow that sneaked into Sunspear City reported that in order to make friends with the Sea King of Braavos, Ke Orun used three large ships to transport a complete keel. "

 A rich, generous but moody man.

 At the beginning, the sea serpent Corliss proposed that his father Viserys marry again and recommended his 12-year-old daughter Lanaer as the queen candidate.

Rhaegar came to his senses and said hesitantly: "The marriage with the Velaryon family is for... the dragon!"

　　【The eldest daughter of Prince Keoron, Alexandra Martell, is engaged to the youngest son of the Sea King of Braavos...】

On the eve of the truce signed between Targaryen and Dorne, the Dornish envoy returned Meraxes's skull as a meeting gift to Aegon the Conqueror.

She and her dragon Melaxes were attacking Hellgate Keep in the heart of Dorne.

The former Sea King of Braavos heard the news and sent someone to introduce his only son to the sea serpent Corliss to facilitate a political marriage.

Rhaegar was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked: "The remains of Meraxes?"

 There are two dragon masters in the family.

 “I suspect the Sea King of Braavos is spying on the dragon.”

 In the First Dorne War, Rhaenys Targaryen, the sister and queen of Aegon the Conqueror, was unfortunately killed in battle.

“The current Sea King of Braavos is one of this person's trusted ministers, and it is said that he has inherited many of his inheritance.”

 【Sunspear City purchases large quantities of military equipment from Braavos and Qohor...】

Thinking about it, Rhaegar felt something was wrong and said in surprise: "What is the Sea King of Braavos doing collecting dragon remains?"

Rhaegar was still a little baby who was on the verge of death every day, and Aegon's younger brothers and sisters were still in their father's egg sack.

Tormund nodded and said: "It is basically certain that it is the remains of Meraxes. It is very complete. Even without the skull, it still has a huge volume of eighty meters."

 In the records, Meraxes has a noble bloodline, a pair of broken golden vertical pupils, bright silver scales all over his body, and a fierce and loyal temperament.

　　Ended this farce.

Dragon dung can be transformed into black stone dragonstone through blood magic, let alone the remains of an adult dragon.

When Rhaegar was born, his mother, Queen Emma, ​​died in childbirth. The frailty caused him to wander on the edge of life and death, and he spent three years in a coma.

At that time, the Targaryen and Velaryon families were truly powerful.

 To this day, Meraxes's skull is still safely kept in the Red Keep.

Only 8 years old, Rhaenyra controls the infant Syrax.

 The dragon, whether dead or alive, is full of treasures.

Rhaegar listened quietly, his mind turning over and over again.

During the battle, Meraxes was hit in the eye by a scorpion crossbow on the battlements because he flew too low, and fell to his death from a high altitude.

Daemon got together with Lanner, found an opportunity to propose a duel, and legitimately killed his only son.

Rhaegar read it in detail, with a sneer on his lips.

Later, the Sea King of Braavos died unexpectedly, and his only son did not want revenge, but instead relied on Tidehead Island for support.

“This person once took the initiative to form an alliance with the Velaryon family and married his only son to Miss Lanner. During this period, the two parties had very close contacts.”

 He has heard a lot about the previous Sea King of Braavos.

 Speaking of "Crown Prince for a Day", Daemon was driven to the valley.

 The sea serpent Corliss felt humiliated by the rejection and angrily withdrew from the council.

Rhaegar ignored him and continued reading the letter.

 Kohlen of Dorne was really evil, and used his daughter to marry the son of the Sea King of Braavos in order to strengthen Dorne's armed forces.

 On the contrary, House Velaryon has three dragons: Vhagar, Melias, and Seasmoke.

 During that time, Viserys didn't even dare to sleep well. Every day he worried that the sea serpent Corlys would lead a fleet and dragon to attack King's Landing and seize his throne.

Seeing that the Crown Prince understood the truth, Tormund boldly speculated: "There are rumors that the three lost dragon eggs of Dreamfire were acquired by the then Sea King of Braavos, and His Majesty Jaehaerys failed to get them back."

“The treasures collected by the predecessor in Braavos may include lost dragon eggs.”

“That's why he was assassinated and benefited the current Sea King of Braavos.”

Rhaegar frowned and asked, "Can you confirm the purpose of the current Sea King of Braavos in collecting the remains of the dragon?"

"investigating."

Tormund thought for a while and added: "He once paraded the dragon's remains through the streets. I don't know if he kept them as collections or to cover them up."

"check!"

Rhaegar's eyes were sharp and he said firmly: "Dragon eggs must not fall into the hands of others."

 At the very least, the bottom line is that dragon eggs cannot hatch.

Tormund lowered his eyes and said solemnly: "Go all out."

 In a blink of an eye, three days later.

 banquets are held every day in the Stone Drum Tower to entertain guests of Pentos and discuss the elements of the alliance between the Iron Throne and Pentos.

Daemon was very active and kept persuading his brother Viserys.

 Outside the Stone Drum Tower, it faces the sea and the cliff. Rhaegar was leaning against the bronze statue of the Virgin, holding a transparent glass candle in his hand, and closed his eyes piously.

 He was not praying, but trying the newly discovered blood witchcraft.

 The Explorer panel records this blood magic.

  【Blood Witch's Secret Candle】

 Exploration progress: 100%

 “This exploration is over, please pick up the lost treasures.”

 "Picked up successfully, checking..."

“The test was successful and it was determined to be an epic relic, a treasure of the blood witch.”

 After a short pause, the font on the panel changes slightly.

 “Congratulations, the blood witch's treasure has been activated, you have obtained...”

  【Catch the moon in the water】

 Level: Epic (Purple)

 Function: Used with glass candles to enhance the power of blood and gain insight into the secrets of all things in the world.

 Simple and crude font introduction explains the general ability of this blood magic.

Lei Jia calmed down and skillfully used his thoughts to activate [Catching the Moon in the Water].

With the infusion of magic power, the transparent glass candle lit up the candle, a cluster of orange flames as big as peas.

Rhaegar slowly opened his eyes, staring at the weak flames.

There was a buzz in my mind, and the picture in front of me changed.

The green lawn beneath your feet disappeared, turning into an all-round perspective similar to [Dream Vision].

The sky is blue and the clouds are white.

Looking below me, I saw the endless vast ocean, with a few isolated islands on the sea that looked like small black dots.

 “Where is this?”

Before Rhaegar had time to adapt, his field of vision moved at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Across the vast sea, a lush primeval jungle emerges.

Rega kept in mind "fishing for the moon in the water" and looked at the world from an unfamiliar perspective, and the scene moved with his thoughts.

"YoYo…"

There was a clear deer cry, and a healthy deer emerged from the jungle and ran to a meandering stream to drink water.

The water is crystal clear, with mud mixed with pebbles, and fish, shrimps, and crabs can be seen faintly.

Rega was in a daze and said doubtfully: "In the real world, I really wish I had seen it somewhere."

 Swish, the perspective moves uncontrollably again.

At the edge of the primitive jungle that stretches as far as the eye can see, an uninhabited mountain range blocks the way for the jungle to continue to expand.

Suddenly, a sharp hissing sound appeared, and a colorful dragon-like creature rushed out of a certain valley, flapped its long and narrow wings and took off into the sky.

Rhaegar was startled and subconsciously thought it was a wild dragon.

 The dragon-like creature soared in the sky, dived into the dense jungle, and captured a squeaking red monkey with its sharp claws.

 At this moment, Rhaegar could see the full picture of the dragon-like creatures.

 The appearance is 80% similar to that of a dragon.

It has a huge mouth full of fangs, bat-like wings, and a pair of slender and sharp claws on its lower limbs.

Even a layer of green and white striped scales grew on the surface of the body.

  But it is essentially different from dragon.

 The slender head has no dragon horns or horn crest. It does not spit out a breath of dragon flame when hunting and eating. Its body is only twenty feet long, the size of an ordinary young dragon.

 There is no doubt that this is not a real dragon!

Rhaegar thought for a moment and recognized the type of dragon-like creature.

 “Long-winged dragon!”

  Or more specifically called "Striated Pterosaur".

Rhaegar thought for a moment and suddenly said: "This is the continent of Sothoros!"

During the time of great-grandfather Jaehaerys, his Hand of the King, Brother Bath, wrote a classic book.

—"Dragon, Saurus, and Winged Dragon: The Unnatural Evolution of the Dragon Tribe"

 The book records the existence of long-winged dragons, and their breeding ground is in the remote and unexplored continent of Sothoros.

Another high-pitched neighing sound, and a larger spotted long-winged pterosaur rushed out of the valley again, with a body length of thirty feet.

As soon as this striped long-winged dragon flew high into the sky, it immediately attacked the same kind that returned from hunting, and took away the opponent's prey by force.

Rhaegar observed for a moment, the two long-winged dragons were fighting back and forth, their fangs and claws were tearing wildly, with a determined attitude.

 It can be seen that this creature has low intelligence and a cruel temperament.

 Recalling the work of Maester Bath, it was recorded in the book that there were several species of long-winged dragons.

The spotted long-winged dragon is more common, can grow up to thirty feet, and has a more ferocious temperament than a dragon.

The gargoyles at Dragonstone Castle have the shape of a long-winged dragon.

Suddenly, Rhaegar's eyesight blurred, and the picture disappeared instantly.

 When he opened his eyes again, the flame of the transparent candle went out.

Rhaegar shook his head and realized that most of the magic in his blood was exhausted and was on the verge of depletion.

“It seems that the magic power is not enough.”

Rhaegar regained consciousness and realized the problem.

Holding the transparent glass candle, he deeply felt the mystery of blood witchcraft.

It actually allows people to see scenes thousands of miles away through a small glass candle.

Rega pinched his brows and found a clue: "The field of view is difficult to control, and the farther the distance, the greater the consumption..."
