Game of Thrones: Dance of the Dragons
Chapter 27 The Glutton Protects His Master
Baylor was visibly startled by the push, but upon seeing the green flames before him, he still looked excitedly at the sky above Dragonstone.
Deep green eyes, a godlike appearance, and a body as indestructible as black steel.
"The glutton!" Baylor exclaimed excitedly.
He knew that it was the glutton who saved his life and helped him escape the assassination attempt by the dark figure.
"Little brother, stay there and don't move, we're coming to find you right away!" Renilla called out anxiously from the other side of the dragon flames.
While the Glutton saved Baylor's life, he also separated him from Rhaenyra and the two Kingsguard guards who were protecting him.
Meanwhile, the shadowy figure, undeterred by its failed ambush, twisted its black fleshy orbs, mimicking a human form, and stared at Renilla.
"Your Highness, please step back! This thing is very strange; I've never seen anything like it before!" Alec raised his hand to protect the princess and drew his sword, warily confronting the dark figure.
"What is this thing? How did it get close to us?" Ilik's eyes widened.
Or perhaps, what was in front of them wasn't a thing at all, but a black ball of flesh that not only emitted a strange, pungent odor, but also emitted eerie roars from time to time.
After a brief moment of observation, the shadow vanished instantly, disappearing into the grass of Dragonstone.
"Sir Illicium, Sir Alec, forget me, hurry, hurry and save Baylor!"
Without hesitation, Renilla gave the order: "That's my younger brother, whom I've watched grow up and raised. He's the only family my mother left me in this world."
In her eyes, Belle's life was just as important as her own; if something really happened to her, Renilla would have no reason to live.
"Your Highness, please don't rush. Let my brother take you back first and tell the king the information so he can bring reinforcements."
"Before that, my job was to find and protect the prince here!"
Ilik was really anxious, and he didn't even want to call him "Jazz," so he used the illegal title instead.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Princess Renella's response at all, turned around and ran to the left, preparing to bypass the green flames and go to find the prince.
"Princess, let's go back first." Alec wanted to stay, but protecting the princess was also a task left to him by the king.
"No, I won't leave! I need to find Baylor; he's in danger!"
"Sir Eric, I, as the princess, command you to disregard my safety and immediately go find my brother!"
Sir Alec shook his head seriously, stubbornly refusing to budge an inch.
Just then, Damon rode up quickly on a black horse. "Is it the Gluttons coming to Dragonblood Island to eat dragon eggs?"
While out for a walk, he saw green flames in the distance and guessed that Beller and Renilla were in danger.
"Uncle, save Beller! He's across from Dragonfire! We were attacked by something strange while we were out for a walk!" Renilla pleaded, as if grasping at a straw.
At this moment, Renilla was so frightened that her voice was trembling, and she could barely speak the most basic words.
Finally, it was Sir Alec who stepped forward and recounted their ordeal to Prince Damon.
"The black shadow transformed into a person, and it emitted a strange fragrance..."
"Is it... magic?"
In his youth, Damon traveled the continent and heard many strange and wondrous tales. Among them were wizards in the free trade cities who could kill using special magic.
"Sir Alec, please take the princess back first. I will go find Ilic and work with him to protect Prince Baylor."
After Damon gave the order, he immediately rode off from the other side.
Without hesitation, Alec calmed the princess down and took her back to the castle on Dragonstone to explain the situation to the king and ask for help.
……
Meanwhile, Beller followed the Glutton, calling out to it in Higher Valyrian.
He knew in his heart that the strange, fragrant ball of flesh was coming for him!
The land is no longer safe; only on the back of the gluttonous dragon can he save his life.
"Roar—"
Just then, an angry roar came from inside the dragon's lair. Ignoring all warnings, Vormisor and Silverwing climbed out and flew toward the Glutton.
Unlike before, the glutton did not flee. Instead, it watched the two approaching dragons and prepared for battle.
I don't know if it was because the two of them lived close by, or if the prophecies in the dream had any effect.
At this moment, Baylor was like a glutton; he could clearly sense its chaotic emotions...
It is worried, it is fearful, it cannot concentrate, it cannot back down!
That's right, the glutton wasn't incapable of escaping, but rather he was worried about Baylor's situation and couldn't leave.
Based on Baylor's years of experience, he could almost immediately conclude that the thing was definitely not human.
Hiding is undoubtedly the best option.
"I have to figure out a way to get away from that guy!"
Without hesitation, Baylor ran quickly towards the nearby dragon's lair, where dragon guards were stationed, ensuring his safety.
……
The shadowy corner of the dragon's lair.
The summoning array that had been prepared in advance was now showing signs of fading.
"Damn it, didn't she say Prince Baylor didn't have a dragon? Where did this dragon come from?!"
The witch looked at the black dragon in the sky in disbelief, cursing Alison as a bitch in her heart.
With her current power, she can only manipulate magic for one assassination at most.
However, if you fail the first time, the probability of success the second time will be greatly reduced.
According to the information Alison gave her, Baylor was also a prince who had received knightly training, and even if he was not currently a formidable fighter, he would at least remain highly vigilant.
"Prince, what brings you here?" the Dragon Guard asked in High Valyrian.
"I've been assassinated. Has anything unusual happened at Dragon's Lair?" Baylor replied, panting heavily, in the same language.
Upon hearing that Prince Beile had been assassinated, the captain of the Dragon Guard immediately summoned several Dragon Guards to protect the prince's safety.
Meanwhile, four dragon guards were dispatched to the castle on Dragonstone to inform the king of the matter.
"Vormitor and Silverwing flew out of the dragon's lair because of the Gluttons' arrival, and that's about it."
The Dragon Guard explained everything in Valyrian, and Baylor nodded with a slight frown, pondering carefully where the assassin might be hiding.
After calming down, Baylor guessed that the ball of flesh was likely a product of magic.
A wizard from the land of shadows—Asha.
"I never expected that the Hightoar family would even hire a wizard to deal with me." Baylor couldn't help but find it amusing.
The book says that hiring a wizard specializing in assassination costs as much as buying an entire Unsullied army.
At the same time, the witch, noticing that Prince Beller had walked right into her trap, excitedly returned to the ritual of summoning magic. She manipulated the shadowy figure that had not yet returned, and directly transformed it into human form behind a dragon guard, piercing the man's heart.
Immediately afterwards, he pushed the corpse in front of the dragon guards who were about to rush forward, and suddenly raised his hand to stab the prince in the chest.
