Ice and Fire: Conquering the World Starting from the Wall
Chapter 14 The Star of Tears
Taking measurements requires removing the "armor," and since the transmigration, this life-saving gear has never been completely removed.
Under Lynn's guidance, Lyanna helped him take off his spacesuit, and Lynn immediately felt that even his breathing became much easier.
He was only wearing a quick-drying base layer, but fortunately the tent was warm from the fire, so he wasn't afraid of catching a cold.
He subconsciously raised his arm and smelled it. Thanks to the awful weather, the smell wasn't too unbearable, which was also thanks to the fact that Asians generally don't have much body odor.
Lyanna's actions of arranging the "armor" startled the young dragon, which had been huddled at the head of the bed. It crawled out from under the blanket, squeaking and trying to climb onto Lynn. Lynn reacted quickly and held it down.
Good heavens, I'm only wearing a thin layer of quick-drying clothing. With its claws, it's bound to leave cuts all over my body when it crawls on me.
Lyanna was drawn to the vibrant color of the young dragon's blood. Instead of being afraid, she tried to touch it, proving she was indeed a child raised in the northern frontier.
In this icy and snowy world, it seems that there are only two colors: black and white.
The young dragon hissed warningly at her outstretched finger, arching its entire body.
Does it have a name?
The girl, rejected by Long Wuqing, giggled and then looked at Lynn with innocent big eyes.
"grown ups?"
She added.
"You don't need to call me 'sir'. In this land of free people, just call me by my name."
Lynn thought for a moment as he spoke, realizing that he had indeed forgotten to name the dragon.
There are two famous red dragons in the history of House Targaryen. One is the "Red Queen" Melias, whose scales are entirely scarlet. The most famous rider of hers is Princess Rhaenys Targaryen, known as the "Uncrowned Queen".
She was one of the oldest and largest dragons during the Civil War of the Dance of Dragons, known for her cunning and extensive combat experience. In the famous Battle of Ravenhill, she single-handedly fought against the Greens' two dragons, Sunfire and Varghal, and ultimately died in battle. Her head was sent to King's Landing for public display.
The second is the "bloodthirsty giant worm" Korakshyu, an extremely large and ferocious red dragon, whose final rider was the famously dissolute Prince Damon Targaryen.
Known for its ferocity, terror, and extensive combat experience, Koracchus has a long, slender body and a terrifying appearance, earning it the nickname "Bloodworm." During the Dance of the Blood Dragons, Prince Damon rode Koracchus in a spectacular battle against Prince Aemond's dragon, Vaghar, above Lake God's Eye.
In the end, Kolachu and Vaghar perished together, both falling to the ground.
In comparison, Lynn's dragon is closer in form to a "bloodworm".
He wanted to take the easy way out and name it "Blood Raven," but felt it would be offensive to Duke Blood Raven and couldn't think of a better name for the moment, so he passed the question on to Lyanna.
"It doesn't have a name yet. What do you think would be a good name for it?"
The girl was somewhat surprised, never expecting that the person of such high status her mother had mentioned would consult her about something as important as naming the dragon.
But she thought about it for a moment and then shared her thoughts.
"Its color is very similar to that of a red comet in the sky. The free people call that comet the blood and tears shed by God when he wept, the 'Weeping Blood Star'."
This perfectly matches the title "Child of the Stars," which, although it sounds somewhat ominous, is actually a symbol of blood, fire, and disaster.
"Then let's call it 'Weeping Blood'."
As Lynn spoke, he took half a raw lamb leg from the shelf and led the dragon to the open space.
After a period of rest, the young dragon has recovered a lot and grown a bit bigger. It can now reliably breathe fire and cook food on its own.
Watching "Bloodthirst" spew out a small puff of white fire and then pounce on the lamb leg, tearing at the charred meat, Lyanna clapped her hands happily, unable to believe that she had actually named the legendary, invincible dragon.
Lynn gestured for Lyanna to come and measure her body size, and Lyanna stuck out her tongue and ran over.
Seemingly emboldened by Lynn's words and actions, Lyanna boldly asked while manipulating him with the thin rope:
"Lynn, the 'Star Child,' will you grant me a child?"
Lynn almost lost his composure, but managed to maintain his usual calm tone and said lightly:
"You're too young now. Let's talk about this when you're older—if you're still willing then."
"Of course I'd like to, and I'm not young anymore."
Indeed, in this world, fifteen years old is considered marriageable age. And it would be hypocritical for Lynn to say she wasn't attracted to such a lively and charming young girl.
Lyanna muttered:
"My mother said that you will one day unify all the land south of the Great Wall, and she told me to make sure you get into my bed."
How could you say something like that? What a silly girl.
Kuna, on the other hand, was abducted to the frontier decades ago, but the story of Aegon the Conqueror that she heard as a child continued to influence her, to the point that she firmly believed that dragons were invincible.
"Will our child definitely be an illegitimate child? My mother says that illegitimate children have no status and are always bullied."
She kept asking questions, chattering like a bird.
While illegitimate children generally lack status, there are exceptions, such as the famous Damon Blackfyre, as well as Bloodraven and Coldsteel.
Lynn thought to himself, but said aloud:
"That's true south of the Great Wall, but I wouldn't follow that rule if I had children."
Just as Lyanna was beaming with joy at the prospect of having a child that didn't even exist, Nemo suddenly slipped into the tent.
"Lynn, the 'Star Child,' Mans has sent someone to invite you..."
Nemo paused halfway through his sentence, staring at Lyanna for a long time, unable to utter a word.
"You...you are 'Lady' Lyanna?"
Lyanna, after being dressed up, seemed quite different from her previous appearance; of course, she became much more beautiful, to the point that Nemo almost didn't recognize her.
Lyanna put away the rope, her face held high with pride, and said:
"From now on, you'll call me 'Star Child' Lyanna!"
Nemo was so shocked that he took a step back and blurted out:
"You stole 'Star Child' Lynn?!"
He suddenly realized what was happening, quickly glanced at Lynn with a guilty look, and stammered:
"No, you...you were stolen by the 'Child of the Stars'?"
Among the freemen, it was a great disgrace for a man to be "stolen" by a woman, and fearing Lynn's anger, he quickly changed the subject.
Lynn almost laughed in anger after hearing this.
"Leanna is my handmaid," he said sternly, "and will be under my protection from now on."
Nemo might not fully understand the meaning of "maid," but he understood the following sentence. So he stopped worrying about who stole from whom and continued reporting the news to Lynn.
Mans sent someone to invite Lynn to his tent, supposedly to consult on camp planning and management. It seems that the clan that had once accompanied Lynn was spreading the name "Just Lynn" everywhere, which caught Mans' attention.
"If you ask me, we don't need to pay attention to them. Once the new Magna rises from the earth, we'll go and fight the Great Wall ourselves."
The hot-blooded young Nemo shouted:
"Apart from the giants, the other clans are as weak as goats and elk. Although they have antlers that can gore people, they are always eaten by dire wolves and shadow lynxes in the end."
Nemo's words gave Lynn a jolt. It seemed that there were indeed some people among the Thane who were not convinced of Mans' leadership, and Kuna's plan was not entirely wishful thinking.
"Since he has extended such a sincere invitation, I should not be impolite."
Lynn stood up and said to Lyanna:
"Put on my armor, I'm going to see him."
