From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

However, the entire island is still shrouded in magma and underground fire, and they cannot land on the island at all. As for the dragon eggs and some Varei steel products, they were found in a nearby shipwreck. It is thought that when the disaster occurred, some people fled from the island in a hurry, but still died unfortunately.

After searching the captain's room, in addition to the Varley steel cabinet, several Varley steel swords, daggers, mask necklaces, and even some unforged raw steel ingots were found in another wooden box. However, none of them had family crests or exquisite decorations, so they should not be exclusive items, but just mass-produced standard equipment.

As for the famous sword "Blackfyre", it was obtained by Euron Greyjoy when he robbed the fleet of the "Golden Company" along the coast of Essos. In his notes, Euron Greyjoy ridiculed the navigation skills of the "Golden Company" mercenaries, and his words were extremely contemptuous.

That's right, anyone who managed to steal a national treasure like the 'Black Fire' would surely be extremely proud.

As for the pitch-black dragon egg, Euron tried many methods to hatch it. He tried burning it with fire, chopping it with knives, and even used "Black Fire". However, the shell of the dragon egg was too hard, and even a Varley steel sword like "Black Fire" could hardly damage it.

The most exaggerated one was that Euron set several villages on fire and burned the dragon egg for three days and three nights, but it still had no effect and there was no sign of it hatching.

Chapter 29 Chen Hui rubbing the dragon flame

Recalling the method used by Daenerys in the TV series, Chen Hui thought for a moment and shook his head. It was too dangerous and he was not willing to try it easily.

You know, although the 'Unburnable' has a high resistance to flames, it still needs to breathe, and the burning flames will consume a lot of air. If you stay in the flames for too long, even Chen Hui today will inevitably be suffocated to death.

As for the exaggerated method in the TV series of burning people and eggs together for a whole night, Chen Hui could only say that it was probably the same as Zhang Wuji practicing the last level of the "Nine Yang Magic Art" in the Qiankun Bag. It was all relying on the protagonist's halo to force cheating. If it happened again, he would probably die on the spot.

After all, Chen Hui didn't believe that every member of the Targaryen family had hatched dragon eggs in this way in the past few hundred years. Even if there were several lives lost, it would not be enough to compensate.

In order to verify whether this dragon egg was alive, Chen Hui curiously sent a stream of inner alchemy power into it, and then found that it disappeared like a drop in the ocean, as if it had been swallowed by something.

"interesting.".

Chen Hui became interested upon seeing this, and he immediately sat cross-legged, holding the dragon egg, and continuously channeled his inner alchemy power into it. However, he found that no matter how much he input, it would completely disappear in an instant, as if what he was holding was not a dragon egg, but a huge bottomless abyss.

As time went by, he saw that the inner elixir power in his body was about to be exhausted, and if he continued to transmit it, it would damage the origin of the inner elixir.

After shaking his head, Chen Hui could only helplessly prepare to give up. Then he found that a special energy suddenly came from the dragon egg, causing his hands to catch fire, but he did not feel any burning sensation at all.

"Is this... Dragon Flame?"

Looking at the blazing golden flames in his hands and feeling the extraordinary power contained therein, Chen Hui suddenly drew out the 'Black Fire' sword in great surprise, wanting to try what effect it would have if he transferred the flames to the sword.

Next, the entire sword was ignited with a black flame, which complemented the dragon flame burning in Chen Hui's palm, adding a special effect of elemental damage in addition to the physical attack.

This is probably the true use of the 'Blackfyre' sword, but the relevant knowledge was completely lost with the destruction of Valyria, and even the Targaryen family knew nothing about it.

After all, they don't have the technology to extract dragon flame energy from dragon eggs.

It is estimated that only unhatched dragon eggs can transmit dragon flames to humans with "dragon blood". The power of the dragon flame after birth is too strong and the weak human body cannot withstand it at all.

After testing it on several other Varley steel weapons one by one, Chen Hui found that except for the dragon bone dagger he took from Joffrey, which could burn a blazing blue flame like "Black Fire", the other Varley steel weapons could only turn red and hot, but did not burn with the corresponding flame.

It can be seen that even Varei steel weapons are divided into grades, and there is a difference between fine products and mass products.

The energy transmitted from the dragon egg was very limited. It burned for only a few minutes before gradually going out. However, Chen Hui could clearly feel that the seeds of flame still remained in his palms, and it would only take a while for them to resume burning.

"You're quite principled, little thing. You don't want to take advantage of my inner elixir and magical power for free, right? Then we can continue the transaction."

Dragon flame is one of the highest energies in this world. It has a destructive effect on any magic, like a dimensionality reduction attack. Even the 'Night King' who has survived for nearly ten thousand years cannot withstand its power.

Knowing that this dragon egg was a truly priceless treasure to him, Chen Hui put the dragon egg into the living space after expressing his feelings, and then put the sword "Black Fire" and all the Varei steel weapons into the dead space.

Except for that Varie steel cabinet, it takes up too much space, so I won’t put it in.

Next, Chen Hui came to the deck, summoned all the crew members, and announced that he would become the new captain of the "Tranquility". After all the crew members knelt down and pledged their allegiance, Chen Hui ordered the ship to sail to the port in the north, ready to pick up Arya to go to the East Continent.

As for those rascals in the Iron Islands, they have nothing to do with Chen Hui anymore.

After Euron Greyjoy received his lunch box early, after more than ten days of bargaining, Yara Greyjoy, who had more supporters, finally won and succeeded as the new lord of the Iron Islands.

Fearing Lord Eddard's interference, Yara did not kill Theon Greyjoy after her victory, but simply drove him out of the Iron Islands and, like Balon did to Euron, announced that he would never be allowed to return while she was alive.

Then, Yara Greyjoy, who had similar thinking to her uncle, assembled the Iron Islands fleet and headed to King's Landing to meet Joffrey, hoping to form an alliance with him. The price was that Joffrey must formally enthrone her as Queen of the Iron Islands and give her the legal right to plunder other coastal cities except King's Landing.

Well, force is better than hard work. Even if you become a king, you must be a pirate king who robs and plunders.

As for the first request, it was just an empty title anyway, so the people in King's Landing, led by Duke Tywin, readily agreed to it immediately. As for the second request, they could only acquiesce.

After all, if the Iron Islands are openly allowed to plunder coastal cities, King's Landing and Casterly Rock will have a blood feud with other great lords. How can this be possible? At most, they will turn a blind eye and King's Landing will not openly issue a warrant for the Iron Islands' arrest.

Although somewhat dissatisfied, Yara Greyjoy, who had finally achieved her long-cherished dream of becoming king, reluctantly agreed to the terms of the alliance and became the exclusive fleet under King's Landing, mainly to deal with Stannis's fleet from Dragonstone.

As for the westerly forces under Lord Tywin, they were preparing to deal with the 100,000-strong coalition force led by Lord Renly Baratheon from the Stormlands and Highgarden.

Oh, now it's not a Duke, it's King Renly.

Of course, although there was no commotion in the North this time, the mature and prudent Lord Tywin did not forget to be wary of Lord Eddard, and he spent a large sum of money to bribe the Frey family of the Twins to prevent the Northern army from suddenly moving south.

Especially the "Storm Sword Master" who suddenly appeared, Duke Tywin ordered Varys to disperse all his spies and closely monitor Chen Hui's every move.

After all, Duke Tywin, who had learned about what happened that day from his children, knew very well how great a threat this terrifying fighting force that could defeat a thousand men on its own would pose if it suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

To put it bluntly, it is fully capable of overturning the entire battle situation in an instant.

If only I could control this level of combat power...

As for the tense situation in the south, Chen Hui, who had no interest in it, simply ignored it. After returning to Winterfell, Chen Hui picked up Arya Stark, who had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and together they boarded the newly acquired "Tranquility" and headed towards the eastern continent on the other side of the sea.

Chapter 30: Being mistaken for a pirate

After leaving Westeros in full view of the public, Chen Hui did not let the "Tranquility" go directly to the major city-states of the Eastern Continent. Instead, he followed the route recorded in the logbook and arrived at the sea area where the Valyria Free Fortress Empire was located after sailing for more than half a month.

Of course, Chen Hui didn't want to land on this island that was still covered by wildfires and lava. Even for an 'unburnable' person with 'dragon blood', it would be a suicidal act.

His purpose was simply to see whether this destroyed legendary place was a more suitable place for cultivation.

In fact, he guessed right.

Even though it was still hundreds of miles away from the city of flames, Chen Hui could still sense that the power of the void here was much stronger than in other places. This showed that Valyria was blessed by nature and was worthy of being the supreme overlord that once dominated the entire world.

With the rich supplies that Euron Greyjoy plundered from all over the world, and this energy-rich paradise, the "Land of Law, Wealth and Fortune" was finally complete.

Therefore, Chen Hui took Arya to stay on a nearby island and practiced hard for three months, until the food was almost exhausted and they finally left.

After months of hard practice, Arya's "Postnatal Internal Alchemy" has reached the third level, and the "Jade Girl Pure Heart Sword Technique" has also been mastered.

Chen Hui's gains were obviously greater. Not only did his "Post-natal Internal Alchemy" reach the sixth level, but even the dragon flame energy obtained from the dragon egg had been completely integrated with the inner elixir. He could convert the inner elixir's magical power into dragon flame energy at will.

The only regret is that the dragon egg in my hand still shows no signs of hatching, and I don’t know when it will be born.

If Chen Hui could have his own dragon to help him in the final battle with the Night King, it would definitely be a great help.

But now it seems that I can only go with the flow.

After leaving the Flame City of Valyria and drifting on the sea for seven days, they arrived directly at the port city of Qarth, which was featured prominently in the TV series, intending to see the Immortal Palace with its mysterious power.

Then, Chen Hui got into trouble.

Since Euron Greyjoy had plundered this city before, the people here have a deep memory of the 'Serenity'.

Therefore, before Chen Hui's ship officially docked, hundreds of warriors suddenly emerged from the harbor, dressed in a variety of clothing. Chen Hui could even see a dozen cold-blooded soldiers dressed as Unsullied. They stood in full battle array and shouted at Chen Hui's ship, "Despicable pirates, get out of this city immediately!"

"." Seeing this ridiculous scene, Chen Hui couldn't help but shook his head in embarrassment, secretly cursing himself for being so careless this time. He immediately decided to sell the 'Tranquility' in this city and buy a new ship. Otherwise, if he drove this famous pirate ship around, who knew how much trouble he would get into in the future.

This time it was his fault. He had forgotten how many good things Euron Greyjoy had done with this ship before.

"Jon! Let's teach these guys a lesson!" Unlike Chen Hui's powerless complaints, Arya, whose strength had greatly improved in the past few months, seemed very excited. She put the dragon bone dagger that Chen Hui had just given her back into her waist, and with a "clang" she drew out the two swords, Frost and Moon, ready to test the results of her training over the past few months.

Chen Hui shook his head upon hearing this, not responding to the eager wild girl. Instead, he gathered his strength and shouted, "My name is Jon Snow, from the Stark family in the northern borders of Westeros. The original owner of this ship, Euron Greyjoy, has been slain by me. We are not here to plunder the city, please don't misunderstand."

The resounding voice spread far and wide, shaking the bells a hundred meters away. At this moment, people from the entire city heard the heavenly sound of the proclamation, and they all stood there in a daze, not knowing what was happening. Some of the timid ones were so scared that they knelt on the ground and began to pray subconsciously.

Qarth is a commercial city, well-informed by the people traveling north and south, and has heard of the great reputation of the 'Storm Swordmaster'.

Therefore, faced with this earth-shattering and horrifying scene, except for the Unsullied who still wore an unmoved robotic expression, the other warriors were terrified and pale. After a commotion, a representative stepped forward and shouted, "You said you are Jon Snow, the Storm Swordmaster! How can you prove it?"

Chen Hui didn't reply. He flew off the boat in a flash. He lightly tapped the water with his feet and crossed dozens of meters of sea as if weightless. He landed lightly in front of the soldier who had shouted, shrugged and said, "I don't know how to prove it. How about giving me a hint?"

"The miraculous scene was right before their eyes, and the warriors no longer had any doubts. However, considering the orders they had received earlier, the leading warrior hesitated for a moment and then asked timidly, "Sword... Master Sword Saint, the orders I have received do not allow your ships to land. I wonder if you would be willing to wait a moment while I report to the city lords."

It was originally a misunderstanding, and Chen Hui, who was in the wrong, naturally didn't mind letting the warrior go through the process. He immediately nodded and agreed, then found a place to sit down under the gazes of the warriors, who were either in awe or envy, or cold and emotionless, and waited quietly for the city lord's reply.

During this process, seeing that the fight might not work, Arya came ashore in a small boat in a depressed mood and complained to Chen Hui who was sitting and resting. She felt that it was a pity that she had not been able to practice for several months in actual combat. Otherwise, she might as well become a pirate and rob him.

Well, it is worthy of being called the ‘Blood of Running Wolves’. The little wolf cub has begun to grow fangs and can’t help but want to start eating meat.

While Chen Hui was comforting the young wolf cub who was just beginning to show his potential, he looked around the city with great interest.

In the original novel, Qarth, as the world's largest port city, has an extremely majestic triple wall. There are also many ruling forces in the city, such as the "Royal Family", the "Thirteen Lords", and the "Tourmaline Brotherhood".

However, due to a lot of deletions in the TV series, this low-profile version of the city of Qarth only has one wall, and the only ruling class in the city is the "Thirteen Giants" who have the most roles.

What remains unchanged is that the "Immortal Halls" still exists, and there really is a mysterious power inside, which almost put an end to Daenerys in the TV series.

Of course, for someone like Daenerys, a child of destiny, she has experienced many such "almost" situations.

Chapter 31 Daenerys doubts her life

An hour later, more than a dozen people in luxurious clothes and with different appearances arrived at the port surrounded by the crowd.

As soon as they saw their masters arriving, the hundreds of warriors in the port dispersed, returned to their homes and gathered behind their respective masters.

Only the last dozen or so warriors stood there at a loss, it was obvious that their master had not arrived.

That’s right, only the ‘Twelve Giants’ came, and there was one who hadn’t arrived yet, and that was the most ambitious fat black giant in the TV series.

You are so good, Zhu Bajie, for not giving me face. I will remember you.

People are like this. If none of the thirteen came, Chen Hui wouldn't have made a fuss about it. But everyone else came, and you were the only one not here. Haha, have you ever heard of the term "revenge after the autumn"? Just get ready to be bullied.

"Oh, Lord Sword Saint, welcome, welcome. Your arrival really makes this city shine!" After seeing Chen Hui's appearance clearly, the fattest and wealthiest man among the giants stood up and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"You're welcome. I was rude this time."

As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit someone who smiles. Since the other party was so welcoming, Chen Hui naturally couldn't immediately make a fuss about someone not coming. He immediately replied with apologetic intent, "I didn't expect the original owner of this ship to have done so many evil things. I'm really sorry to disturb you all."

"Hahahaha, Lord Sword Saint, you are too polite. Please come into the city quickly and let us entertain you well." The tycoons, who were delighted with Chen Hui's understanding and who always believed that harmony brings wealth, immediately led Chen Hui and Arya into the city of Qarth. They got on several luxurious carriages together and went straight to a hall that had been decorated long ago, where they held a welcoming banquet for Chen Hui.

Well, it seems that these dozen people spent the hour waiting to arrange this. They are indeed qualified businessmen with first-class etiquette in dealing with people.

As the wine flowed, Chen Hui accidentally or intentionally asked about the whereabouts of the last great man, and learned that he had gone to entertain another uninvited guest with the name of "Storm", the silver-haired queen of "Stormborn" - Daenerys Targaryen.

While Chen Hui was talking about the Dragon Queen, Daenerys and her group, who had just arrived today, came to a beautiful courtyard led by the last black giant, Xarozan Wandasos, and settled down temporarily.

Because Chen Hui's previous voice was so loud, Daenerys and her group who were gathered at the city gate on the other side of the city could hear it clearly.

Although they had been wandering in the Red Wilderness for the past few months and had not heard of the deeds of the 'Storm Swordmaster', the words 'Westeros', 'the North', 'House Stark' and so on still made Daenerys feel quite uneasy, fearing that he was coming to deal with her.

When Daenerys didn't have dragons, she encountered assassination attempts many times. Now that she has three dragons, the threat level has increased greatly. Who knows how crazy the people on the other side of the sea will become and what vicious means they will use to deal with her.

After several hours of anxious waiting, Ser Jorah Mormont, the "Big Bear," who had finally investigated the situation, returned to the courtyard with a strange look on his face. He reported to Daenerys, "Khaleesi, I've investigated everything. This Jon Snow isn't coming for you."

Then, Jorah Mormont will investigate a series of situations, such as the death of King Robert, the falling out between the North and King's Landing, and Chen Hui's being given the title of 'Storm Swordmaster' for single-handedly rescuing three Starks from King's Landing.

Of course, Daenerys was also told word for word about the recent war between Renly and Stannis, the two Baratheons, and King's Landing for the Iron Throne.

"According to what Jon Snow said at the banquet, he came to this city mainly to collect some precious medicinal herbs, and he has already given the list to the other twelve lords."

Jorah Mormont concluded, "Jon Snow paid a deposit of tens of thousands of dragon gold and even planned to sell his current ship, the Serenity, and buy a new one from the lords."

"Such a huge expense shouldn't be fake. It seems it really has nothing to do with you, Khaleesi. I guess he didn't even know you would come to this city before."

"Storm..." Daenerys chewed on these two words, which also meant a lot to her, with deep meaning. After a long while, she raised her head and asked, "Ser Jorah, do you think we can contact this sword master and try to recruit him into our army?"

After having three baby dragons, Daenerys, who felt that she had a certain destiny, began to gain confidence and felt that there should be nothing in the world that could stump her.

For example, she later thought that she could get hundreds of ships from the Thirteen Giants just by talking, and it was only she who could think of such a free thing.

All I can say is that after owning the legendary dragon, Daenerys became a little arrogant.

"I'm afraid it's difficult, Khaleesi." Jorah thought for a moment and shook his head. "This Jon Snow didn't come alone. He's accompanied by a young girl."

"I saw her from a distance and recognized her as Arya Stark, the third daughter of Lord Eddard."

"Since she's still with Jon Snow, it means that Jon Snow still has Lord Eddard's trust and won't easily switch to someone else's camp."

"Especially you, Khaleesi." Jorah took a deep breath and said, "Don't forget what your father did to the Stark family. The Stark family hates the Targaryens to the core."

Daenerys closed her eyes upon hearing this, and after a moment she slowly shook her head, temporarily putting aside the idea of ​​recruiting Chen Hui and preparing to start with the thirteen giants here.

Well, take their ships for free.

Daenerys felt that she had a dragon in her hands and a bright future. A dozen or so merchants with money on their hands should bow down to her and offer her enough ships, and preferably even tens of thousands of soldiers.

Anyway, once I regain the Iron Throne, I will naturally repay them tenfold or a hundredfold.

So after a month of setbacks, not being able to borrow a single ship, and only receiving countless love confessions and marriage proposals, Daenerys began to doubt her life.

She couldn't understand how these business tycoons could be so short-sighted that they couldn't see the bright future of her, the Dragon Queen.
