Game of Thrones: Digger of the Dreadfort

Chapter 229 Red-robed Witch, Giant Dragon

For a moment, the secret room fell into a deathly silence.

The stars cry blood, the red comet descends, the dragon returns, and magic shines again.

The Old Gods, the Seven Gods, the Red God the Lord of Light, the Children of the Forest, the White Walkers beyond the Great Wall...

These messy things are filling Domeric’s head...

"By the way, how did you get this candle?" Domeric asked confusedly.

It stands to reason that glass candles are the treasures of the school city and are extremely valuable. There are only four of them in the entire school city.

How could it appear in the hands of Qyburn, a wandering bachelor who was expelled from the city?

Qyburn twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a rather embarrassed expression: "When I was expelled from the academy, I felt unhappy, so I took one away while no one was paying attention..."

-----------------

A bedroom in Riverrun.

The surrounding windows were covered with thick curtains.

But the bedroom was not plunged into true darkness.

Dozens of grease candles were scattered in every corner, and a blazing fire burned in the fireplace to resist the invasion of darkness.

Melisandre was sitting in front of the fireplace with her eyes closed, whispering prayers to the fire.

Golden and scarlet flames intertwined in front of her, jumping, flashing, converging and scattering, with a faint hint of terror...

Reflecting the confusion and pain on Melisandre's face.

"dong dong~~"

Several rhythmic knocks on the door interrupted Melisandre's prayers.

She opened her eyes suddenly, and the confusion and pain in her eyes quickly receded, replaced by pious indifference.

Opening the door, he saw Domeric standing outside.

"Lord Domeric, please come in."

Melisandre didn't seem surprised by this scene at all. She bowed slightly and invited Domeric into the house.

The red-robed witch in front of her is still wearing her iconic attire, red robe, blood-red shirt, red gold collar, huge ruby...

She is red from head to toe.

After curing "The Hound" Sandor Clegane, Melisandre has kept a low profile again. She rarely shows up on weekdays. She looks like an older home girl. She hides in a tent or a castle room, facing the flames. Keep praying.

It even makes most people forget that this person exists around them.

Domeric's eyes noticed that the food on the table was cold and had not been eaten.

"Did I interrupt your meal?"

Domeric asked politely.

"No, sir.

Thanks to the castle owner for his kindness, but I don't actually need to eat like a mortal. "

The corners of Melisandre's lips raised slightly and she said, "The Lord of Light alone can satisfy the energy I need on a daily basis. In the Red God Church, even higher-ranking servers can easily do this."

"So that's it." Domeric frowned slightly.

This woman has a great future in CX and never misses any opportunity to promote the King of Light in front of him.

Domeric suddenly doubted whether he had made a wise decision in coming to her.

"Lord Domeric, I see confusion in your eyes."

Melisandre's fiery red eyes stared at the man in front of her, "Tell me, maybe I can help you."

"It's not a big deal. One of my maesters found that the glass candle was relit... Do you know what this means?"

I have to say that Melisandre is a beauty, with a heart-shaped face, red eyes, and red hair.

If you ignore her real age, Domeric wouldn't even mind having sex with her...

But as Domeric approached the woman, a wave of heat hit him.

He could feel an unusual heat emanating from Melisandre's body.

This!

Human furnace?

Domeric couldn't help but think of this term, wondering if it was also in her place...

"This is as it should be, because the power of the gods is about to return completely!"

Melisandre stated in a calm tone, as if she was telling a common fact.

Domeric was not surprised either.

He came here just to hear the opinion of the red robe witch so as to confirm his thoughts.

"By the way, I originally agreed to let you stay with me because I hoped you could hatch a giant dragon for me... I wonder how it's progressing now?"

Domeric asked casually.

He didn't have any expectations for Melisandre to hatch a dragon, but just wanted to take this opportunity to ridicule the "omnipotent" Lord of Light in her mouth.

Unexpectedly, Melisandre smiled and said, "Please wait a moment."

Swaying her graceful and graceful figure, she went to the corner of the bedroom, opened a box covered with hollow patterns, and took out an oval stone from it.

Domeric took the stone and felt the hot temperature passing through his skin. He already guessed what it was:

"Is this a dragon egg?"

It is rumored that there are a large number of dragon eggs hidden on Dragonstone. Melisandre has been on Dragonstone for so long, so it is not strange to get one.

"This is a dragon egg from Dragonstone. I got it under the guidance of the Lord of Light. Originally, I was going to give it to Lord Stannis, but I saw you in the holy fire... so in King's Landing, When the time came, I asked Thoros, the red-robed monk, to fetch it for me from Dragonstone, but I didn’t receive it until half a month ago.”

After Melisandre finished explaining, she pointed at the dragon egg and said, "Look, this dragon egg has been fossilized for tens of millions of years, but it is still beautiful and beautiful."

The dragon egg was so big that Milik couldn't hold it in one hand, so he had to hold it in both hands.

He picked up the dragon egg and looked at it carefully.

This dragon egg is indeed beautiful, and from the outer shell, one could even mistake them for bright gems.

The surface of the eggshell is covered with fine and sharp spiral scale patterns, like fine ceramics, enamel, or blown glass, but the dragon egg is much heavier than them, weighing like a solid stone.

The firelight from the fireplace reflected on the egg, shining like polished light.

Every dragon egg is extremely precious.

But it is a dead thing after all.

What he wants is a giant dragon!

Dragon eggs or something like that, you might not be able to buy them if you spend more money.

Domeric was slightly disappointed and was about to put the dragon egg down.

"Wait a moment." Melisandre suddenly put her hand on Domeric's and placed them together on the dragon egg.

She opened her red lips lightly and uttered extremely mysterious words, and lengthy echoes suddenly filled the bedroom.

The dragon egg held by the two men suddenly burst into dazzling fire, and the light and shadow around the shell were intertwined and twisted, rippling like water waves.

At this moment, Domeric could actually feel it beating!

It seems that there is an ancient life that has been sleeping for a long time, hiding deep inside, waiting for someone to wake it up.

Dragon egg!

It seems to have come to life...

Melisandre paused, the fire on the egg fading.

"My lord, what do you think? The Lord of Light has responded to your request."

"Can it hatch now?" Domeric said with a fiery tone.

He originally wanted Melisandre to give him a giant dragon, more as a joke about the "Lord of Light", but he didn't expect Melisandre to actually do it!

"Not yet, because it only has part of the power of the Lord of Light. If you want it to hatch..."

Melisandre paused here and said with a solemn expression: "Unless you can abandon your belief in the old and new gods and convert to the Red God!"

Domeric's originally fiery heart suddenly became extremely cold, as if a splash of cold water had been poured on it.

It turns out it’s not free!

After all, the idea is still to preach.

"Just for an egg? You want me to abandon the faith of the gods. It seems that in the eyes of Ms. Melisandre, my faith is too worthless."

Domeric sighed mockingly.

"Sir, this is a giant dragon!"

Melisandre had to remind her, "300 years ago, Aegon the Conqueror made the entire continent of Westeros surrender just by relying on three giant dragons. If you have one giant dragon, the entire Westeros continent will be defeated." The Luo Continent will tremble under your feet!"

"But in order for those three dragons to come of age, the Targaryens have been dormant on Dragonstone for hundreds of years. How long do you want me to wait?"

Domeric said with regret.

"So that's what you're worried about!" Melisandre smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, the King of Light naturally has a way to make the dragon grow quickly, as long as your faith is pious enough..."

I have to admit, this "King of Light" is really awesome!

Domeric weighed the pros and cons.

Now that he has artillery in his hands and a bachelor's degree under his command, he can completely create a "Dragon Shooting Crossbow" that can restrain Dragon Mother.

Although the power of the dragon is tempting, betraying faith and serving the Lord of Light will only cause Domeric to betray their relatives and shake the foundation of their own rule.

Furthermore, in Westeros, there are more people who support and fear dragons and those who fear and hate dragons. I really can’t tell which one is more numerous.

"Lord Domeric, I don't understand why you have so much hesitation? The power is at your fingertips right in front of you!"
