Game of Thrones: Roar of the Dragon

Chapter 135: Unexpected Harvest, Secret Hatching

Da da da!
Wearing a gorgeous and classical floor-length dress and a pair of Myrish stiletto heels, Benilla was walking slowly on the top floor corridor of Maegor's Holdfast.

Behind her, two white knights followed closely.

call!
Feeling awkward all over, Benilla stopped walking with an unhappy look on her face, wanting to throw away the pair of high-heeled shoes that were totally unsuitable for walking.

But she remembered the letter sent by her sister Rhaena, and finally she exhaled heavily and continued to move forward.

Today is different from the past!
With the death of Lord Corliss, Daemon and Rhaenys fled to Essos, and the family fleet was incorporated into the Conqueror's Fleet.

Prince Luthris has also been slow to inherit the title of Lord of the Tides and Earl of Tidehead Island.

House Velaryon seemed to have reached a dangerous edge.

So in her letter, Rhaena requested her sister Benilla to ascend the throne of queen as soon as possible to stabilize the situation for the family.

Squeak!

She had just arrived near the king's bedroom, and Stone, wearing the King's Hand brooch on his chest and holding a pile of parchment, just came out.

Upon seeing this, Stone quickly closed the bedroom door with one hand, then turned around and saluted to Benila, saying, "Queen Benila, His Majesty the King is busy handling government affairs..."

Even as he was speaking, a sound like that of a wild cat was heard from the king's bedroom, and the atmosphere in the corridor suddenly became a little awkward.

Stone turned his head to look to his side. Sir Dario, who was on duty, looked straight ahead, like an emotionless wooden man.

"Prime Minister, I am not the Queen now.

Please don't make the mistake next time!"

Just as Stone was thinking about how to smooth over his words, Benilla started talking about the problem with his previous address.

Judging from her expression, she was not angry at all because of the screams in the bedroom.

"Yes, yes, it is indeed my fault.

I will keep your words in mind, Queen Benilla!"

After all, Stone grew up with Jakaris and Bernila, so how could he not know Bernila's character?

He apologized repeatedly but didn't change the address.

"Forget it, go and get busy!"

Upon hearing this, Benilla revealed a barely perceptible smile and pushed the door open before entering the bedroom.

Phew!

After she entered the bedroom, Sir Daario immediately stepped forward and closed the door, then couldn't help laughing.

Stone rolled his eyes at him, turned around and walked towards his Prime Minister's Tower.

The king's bedroom was naturally very spacious. Outside was the reception hall, and inside was the bedroom with a large goose down bed.

Benila ignored the wild cat's cry coming from inside, went to the wine cabinet in the hall, poured four glasses of Jinse wine, and then carried them into the room on a tray.

On the goose down bed in the bedroom, my sister was alone listening to Jacaris's real dragon collision.

And his sister lay on his back and whispered to him like the green snake that seduced Fahai in the movie of his previous life.

Ouch!!!
The Lannister sisters screamed as they saw Benilla walking into the bedroom with a tray.

A few minutes later, the Lannister sisters hurriedly left the palace in panic.

It looked like the kitten that was caught stealing fish by the original wife in the previous life.

In the bedroom, Jacaerys thanked Benilla for presenting the tray, then lowered his head and took a sip of the wine.

“Benilla, you look very beautiful today.

But this isn't right for you, so don't force yourself.

My queen does not need to act like a lady in front of nobles and commoners, just be yourself!"

After hearing what Jakaris said, Benilla immediately kicked off her high heels happily.

“Jacaerys, you’ve been the best to me!

Alas, it is because Rhaena wrote to me begging me to dress like this to please you and get the title of queen sooner."

Benilla had no intention of hiding anything and spoke directly about the contents of her sister's letter.

"Yes, I know.

I just asked Stone to start preparing for our wedding.

But you know... I might modify the king's marriage system a little bit."

Seeing that Benila was so well-behaved, Jacaris reached out and rubbed her silver hair before speaking.

"Yes! Everything is up to you, my king!"

Upon hearing this, Benila smiled sweetly and nodded in reply.

In fact, when she just returned to King's Landing for the intense exercise of reunion after a long separation, Jacaerys told her about eating the sisters.

It is impossible to say that Benilla is not jealous at all, after all, she is a woman.

But she was smart enough to know that this was bound to happen sooner or later.

Yu Gong, after the War of the Dance of the Dragons, the bloodline of the Targaryen family died out.

The only men left were the three brothers Daemon, Jacaerys, and others.

Therefore, it was the new king's responsibility to allow the true dragon bloodline to spread.

Moreover, Duke Jason of the Westerly publicly stated in the throne room that a transport convoy carrying gold, cattle, sheep, and food supplies to King's Landing was on the way and would arrive soon.

I believe that once his daughter has an official status, support for Jakaris will double.

Personally, Jakaris's super strong physique had long been unbearable for Bernilla.

Just like last night, she was so tired that she passed out and was unable to satisfy her king.

This is also one of the important reasons why she felt uncomfortable walking today, in addition to the long skirt and high heels.

After having a great time today, Jacaerys stayed with Benilla to discuss the details of their wedding.

But while the two of them were enjoying their lunch, Lord Samwell Blackwood came to ask for a meeting.

After a set of etiquette between the monarch and his subjects, Jacaerys asked directly, "Lord Samwell, what do you want from me?"

“Your Majesty, I have been patrolling the Blackwater River Port every day during this period.

I heard a message from many merchant ship captains coming from Gulltown, White Harbor and King's Landing."

After hearing what Lord Samwell said, Jacaerys was wondering why he would go to inspect the Blackwater Port for no reason.

But suddenly he remembered that this was the nominal Minister of the Navy appointed by himself.

It’s true that although Earl Samwell knew nothing about maritime affairs, he was quite conscientious and responsible.

"So...what kind of news brought you to me?"

"Someone saw a giant yellow-scaled dragon at the entrance of a cliff cave on the north side of Dragonstone. It might be Queen Rhaenyra's Syrax."

clang!
Upon hearing this, Jakaris, who was enjoying his meal, dropped the knife and fork in his hand.

He walked a few steps to Earl Samwell, frowned and asked: "Is this news really true?

Are those sailors bragging just to attract attention?"

"Your Majesty, it is probably true.

The reason why I came to report today is that I went to verify it first.

At least eight merchant ships coming from the north spotted the giant yellow-scaled dragon. "

Upon hearing this, Earl Samwell immediately replied seriously.

"It nests on the rocky wall to the north of Dragonstone? No wonder it can't be found on Dragon Mountain."

Jacaerys said to himself, and then gave an order to Lord Samwell,
"Find a witness who has seen Syrax. I want to go to Dragonstone immediately!" Syrax is a very precious and prolific female dragon, and also the dragon of a deceased mother.

Jacaerys would never let it wander around and become a wild dragon, or be conquered by other bastards.

Seeing this, Benilla wanted to ask Ella to cast some auxiliary magic for her, and then ride the dragon together.

But he was forced to stay in the Red Castle by Jacaerys on the king's order.

……

The northern cliff of Dragonstone Island is already out of the range of Dragon Mountain.

Rustling!

The head of a giant yellow-scaled dragon, which was a circle larger than Haiyan, poked out from a hole in the middle of the cliff.

It tilted its head in a very human way and used its dragon eyes to look at the environment outside the cave for a while. After making sure it was safe, it carefully crawled out.

Hooray, hooray!
Swish!
Just as Syrax was about to go out in search of food and flapped his wings to fly above the cliff, a huge blood-red dragon shadow hit him at lightning speed.

It fell diagonally onto the pile of rocks above the cliff.

Hiss, hiss!!!
Under attack, Syrax roared twice in panic, raised his head and tried to spit dragon flames at the target.

But a huge black dragon claw stepped on its neck, and the huge force made it impossible for it to lift its head.

The dragon flames spewed by Syrax exploded in the rubble, charring a large number of stones.

Hooray, hooray!
There was a sound of dragon wings breaking through the air, and three giant dragons of different colors hovered above their heads.

Syracuse, who was quite intelligent, seemed to realize that resistance was useless, so he stopped struggling.

The dragon, which was three times larger than Syrax, lost all its blood color, revealing its true appearance.

Jacaerys, sitting on the dragon saddle, frowned as he looked at Syrax who was being stepped on by Vermax.

Although it had been well fed by Rhaenyra before and did not have much combat experience, it was still too weak.

Could it be that the previous injury has not healed?

Should not!
With the dragon's terrifying recovery ability, as long as it was not missing any limbs, it would have already fully recovered.

Could it be that……

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Jacaerys immediately sent a message to Vermax to call on the three dragon servants to escort Syrax back to the dragon lair in King's Landing.

He rode the dragon to check the cave on the cliff below.

Since Womax was too big to fit into the cave, Jakaris jumped directly over it from its back.

As soon as he landed, Jakaris felt a hot breath blowing from the cave to the outside.

So, this is a geothermal vent that split from Longshan?

The further you go into the cave, stepping on the gravel on the ground, the higher the temperature becomes.

Of course, Jakaris, who shared the same blood and fire, only felt warmer and more comfortable.

puff!
As he walked, Jakaris suddenly felt the soft ground under his feet.

He looked down and saw that he was standing on... an oval-shaped soft stone?
Sniff!

Bending over and smelling the strange smell coming from the oval stone, Jekaris was immediately sure that he had stepped on dragon dung.

But he had raised Womacks since he was a child and knew that giant dragon poop usually shouldn't be in this shape.

As a thought flashed through his mind, he immediately squatted down and put his hands wearing dragon-taming gloves into the oval dragon dung.

Chi Chi Chi!
Streams of hot steam rose from the oval-shaped dragon dung whose surface had been forcibly peeled open.

Jacaerys then pulled out a dragon egg that was green with golden spots.

Sure enough!

Syrax really laid dragon eggs again. No wonder she was so weak and had no power to resist Womax.

A dragon lays more than one egg at a time. Jacaerys puts the dragon egg into the high-temperature dragon dung to keep it warm.

Then continue exploring into the cave.

After some searching, Jacaerys found the three dragon eggs laid by Syrax this time.

After inspecting the cave again to make sure nothing was missed, he wrapped the three dragon eggs in the black three-headed dragon cloak on his back and returned to King's Landing.

Including the five dragon eggs that were previously looted by Aemond and brought back to the dragon cave in King's Landing, Jacaerys now has a total of eight.

If all could be hatched, the dozen or so dragons under his command would be enough to form an air force that would terrify all forces in Essos.

But the hatching of dragon eggs depends entirely on luck. For example, the dragon eggs of Aemond and Rhaena failed to hatch successfully.

Vermax flew back to King's Landing with Jacaerys at the fastest speed.

When he arrived at the dragon's lair, the dragon guards were comforting Syrax.

The mother dragon that lost her dragon eggs was originally restless, but after seeing Womax, she immediately became quiet.

As the size of Womax exceeded 100 meters, even without using the power of the Dragon King,

Ordinary wild dragons and semi-wild dragons no longer dare to offend it.

Jacaerys handed the three dragon eggs to the dragon guards and asked them to store them in a special insulation furnace before returning to the Red Castle.

It turned out that it was unknown where Ella got the information from, but she directly grabbed Jacaerys and tried to persuade him to conduct an experiment on hatching dragon eggs.

Naturally, he would not agree to hand over such an important dragon resource to Ella, who was so obsessed with studying magic.

But Ella, who had already figured out Jacaris's situation, only said a few words lightly, which made him begin to waver.

“Your Majesty, do you know why the Valyrian Freehold values ​​blood wizards?
That's because the blood wizard can increase the hatching rate of dragon eggs and shorten the hatching time of dragon eggs.

It can even greatly increase the growth rate of hatched dragonlets!"

Jacaerys heard this and said doubtfully, "If there was such a way, Aegon the Conqueror would have gone crazy looking for blood wizards to help him in Asshai.

So, either you are lying. Or, the blood wizard's method has serious side effects."

Seeing that Jacaerys had hit the nail on the head, Ella replied with a wry smile, "Hehe, Your Majesty is so wise!

Before I could finish my words, the life potential of the dragons hatched by the blood wizard's secret method was overdrawn.

Lifespan will be greatly reduced, just like Kagerou.

But don't worry, I've figured out a solution.

If the life gem can be used in the process of hatching with secret methods, the blood power in the life gem will make up for the life potential consumed by the dragon egg.

Even if the life span of the hatched dragonlets cannot reach that of normal giant dragons, it will still be much longer than Yang Yan's!"

Jacaerys was immediately excited when he heard this. The dragon egg would be of no use to him if it was left there.

But if successfully hatched, even a baby dragon can become combat-ready.

As for consuming the blood power in the life gem, there is no problem at all.

"Ella, I will give you three dragon eggs for this secret hatching experiment."

"Really? That's awesome!

Your Majesty, I will definitely give it to you."

Upon hearing this, Ella happily turned around and ran back to her magic laboratory to make preparations in advance.

Watching her running farther and farther away, Jakaris shook his head helplessly.
He said to himself, “It seems that the Valyrian Freehold expanded madly in the past and captured a large number of slaves.

It is very likely to make it easier for blood wizards to obtain the power of blood.

No, I can't just enjoy myself in the land of pleasure!

We must find a way to improve the living standards of the seven nations, and then enact some laws to encourage population growth!"
