Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 84

Chapter 84 The Shadow is Coming

 Farewell to Yara, Rhaegar left the Whispering Keep on the dragon.

 The last swamp marigold is said to have appeared in the Despair Swamp in the middle of the Crab Claw Peninsula.

 That is the largest marshland on the peninsula.

 It is covered by miasma all year round and has countless poisonous insects.

 In recent years, no one has been near the Swamp of Despair.

Rhaegar believed that by riding the dragon across the swamp, it was possible to find the long-lost swamp marigolds.

 He thinks so and does so.

 When he arrived at the edge of the Swamp of Despair, Rhaegar looked up at the sky.

It's still early.

If you can find a swamp marigold as soon as possible, you can return to the Dreadhole Castle before dark.

 “Hiss…”

Hovering over the endless swamp, the glutton roared and refused to move forward.

Rhaegar stroked its scales and asked in confusion: "What's the matter, glutton?"

 The glutton shook his head and flapped his wings in mid-air.

 “You think there is danger in the swamp?” Rhaegar guessed.

"Roar…"

The Glutton raised its vertical tail and poked Rhaegar's shoulder.

 “Am I in danger?” Regarden was stunned.

The glutton roared and flew over the swamp, aiming at an area covered with mud and spitting dragon flames.

Boom—

The dragon flames exploded in the air before they even touched the muddy pond, blowing up a fishy wind and kicking up large swaths of mud.

Rhaegar frowned when he witnessed this scene.

 “Is this…miasma?”

 He heard it mentioned by the bachelor who taught the class.

Hazardous gases accumulate in many places with poor air circulation, which can easily cause explosions in case of fire.

The Swamp of Despair has existed for countless years, and the accumulated miasma is extremely strong.

 The dragon flames of the glutton can detonate the miasma.

 “Are you afraid that I might accidentally inhale miasma?”

Rhaegar patted the glutton's back and said with emotion.

Glutton is worthy of being the strongest and largest wild dragon. He is deeply versed in the principle of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and his wisdom is no lower than that of ordinary people.

 “Hiss…”

 The glutton looked back at the driver, his green vertical pupils showing some kind of warning.

 “Have you been to this swamp?” Rhaegar understood immediately.

“I'm looking for a flower with strong vitality. Do you know where to find it?”

As he spoke, Rhaegar took out a piece of the crest of the Kleb family, with a lifelike swamp marigold engraved on it.

Doubts flashed across Glutton's vertical pupils, he opened his mouth to hold the clan emblem, and flapped his wings to take Rhaegar in another direction.

It is very fast and its flight path is very random.

 In a short time, one person and one dragon arrived at the other corner of the Swamp of Despair.

 A mud swamp formed by multiple swamps eroding pine forests.

The miasma here is much weaker than that in the Swamp of Despair.

Glutton looked back and growled at Rhaegar, as if to express something.

Rhaegar looked down at the gloomy and corrupt swampland below and understood immediately.

 Take out a handkerchief from the bracelet, pour water on it, and cover your mouth and nose.

 The glutton snorted in dissatisfaction and lowered his figure.

 Its original meaning is to tell the dragon driver to get down.

 The stupid dragon driver obviously didn't understand.

The Gluttony glided over the swamp, its huge body covering a large area of ​​land. One or two pine trees scratched its belly and were broken in an instant.

 The ferocious dragon head turned back and forth, as if searching for something.

Rhaegar knew it was looking for the swamp marigolds.

 The glutton must have seen, or even eaten, swamp marigolds before.

 When he first arrived at the Crab Claw Peninsula, Gluttonous was seriously injured, so he hid him in the valley and left on his own.

Rhaegar never asked where he was.

 At present, it seems that 80% of them are looking for the swamp marigold, which is also known as the flower of life.

 Otherwise, its injury will not heal so quickly.

The glutton soars along, sniffing here and there, not bothering at all with the miasma of the swamp.

Rhaegar rode on the dragon's back, occasionally catching his breath as it rose into the air, waiting patiently.

 Glutton is already an adult dragon.

 It can find what the young dragon rider needs.

　　Bold.

Rhaegar felt a chill running down his spine, feeling like something was peering at him. Looking back, there is nothing but swamps and pine forests.

 “Glutton, I have a bad feeling and am on alert.”

 Ever since he was framed and plotted on Dragonstone Island, Rhaegar's caution has greatly increased.

 The slightest movement will attract his attention.

 “Hiss…”

The glutton neighed at the top of his lungs, lowered his head and continued to search, but the change in the rhythm of the flapping of its wings proved that it did not deny the dragon master's instructions.

 Flying for a while again.

 A shadow tentacle stretches out from the darkness, pounces on the glutton gliding at low altitude like a snake.

The glutton was already on guard. The moment the shadow appeared, he moved his body sideways and lowered himself to avoid it.

 “Dragon Flame!”

Rhaegar on the dragon's back gave the order almost at the same time.

The Gluttonous One burst out with dragon flames, covering the shadow tentacles in mid-air.

 Zila—

As soon as the shadow tentacles came into contact with the dragon flames, they made a burning and piercing sound and turned into droplets of black viscous liquid.

Rhaegar locked onto the spot where the shadow tentacles emerged.

 Under the shade of an old withered pine.

"Where!"

After getting along for a period of time, Gluttony and Rhaegar developed a good tacit understanding. The dragon's kiss was aimed at the old pine, and the dragon's flames spurted out.

 Lao Song was engulfed by the dragon's flames in the blink of an eye and turned into charcoal.

 There was no trace of the shadow tentacles.

Just when one person and one dragon were confused, shadow tentacles stretched out from all directions, like a closed net.

 The glutton keenly sensed the danger, flapped its wings vigorously, and quickly took off into the air.

Green dragon flames fell from the sky like a flood, baptizing the shadow tentacles below.

 For a time, all the shadow tentacles were burned.

Rhaegar looked down seriously, alert to the attack of shadow monsters.

 However, it took a long time to wait.

 The shadow monster never appeared again.

 “Glutton, let's go, it's important to look for swamp marigolds.”

  If the shadow monster doesn't appear on its own initiative, Dragon Flame has nothing to do with it. The plan to resurrect the Shadowbinder's head is more important.

 The glutton glanced around to confirm that there were no shadow tentacles, then changed direction and flew away.

The most indispensable thing in Crab Claw Peninsula is marshland.

 There is always a swamp hiding treasures that ordinary people cannot touch.

The sun is gradually setting in the west.

Glutton flew across several small swamps.

 Finally stopped in a swamp near a stream.

The bones in the swamp are all caused by the miasma accidentally inhaled by wild animals drinking water nearby.

 The Glutton landed in the center of this swamp.

 Hands down a few pine trees to use as pedals.

In front of it, on a piece of mud-covered bluestone, grew a golden orchid.

Rhaegar sat on the dragon's back and recognized it as Marsh Marigold.

 “Glutton, you are so awesome.”

Rhaegar could not help but praise his dragon.

The glutton raised the dragon's head high and glanced at the dragon driver with disdain.

 As if to say: "You ignorant little thing."

Rhaegar was not angry and slid down its neck.

Stepping on the pine trees stuck in the mud, I walked to the bluestone and held the roots of the swamp marigold in my hands.

  “Discover rare creatures containing trace amounts of magical elements, conduct your own testing...”

“The detection is successful, the dead flower of life has taken root, and this exploration mission begins”

As soon as I touched it, the system prompt sounded suddenly.

Rhaegar's eyes lit up and he stared at the swamp marigolds with passion.

“I didn't expect that this flower would bring me an opportunity to explore.”

 Open the system panel to view.

  【Flower of Life】

 Exploration progress: 0.5%

Today's fourth update, I hope you all enjoy reading it and the author will be happy too.
