Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 181 Dragon Egg
"Uh..." Roll raised his eyebrows, "The Earl hasn't woken up yet, what happened yesterday made him too tired, of course," he said intentionally, "If His Majesty needs it, I'll wake him up right away."

"Don't!" Daenerys blurted out, and then she realized her gaffe, and after showing an awkward smile, she quickly returned to seriousness, "I'm not in a hurry, since the count is very tired, let him have a good rest Well, tell him to come to me after he wakes up."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Luo Er responded, and then went to bring food for Dany.

For breakfast, refined bread and uniform fish soup were specially prepared for her. Compared with the luxurious banquet in Illyrio's mansion, Daenerys was not too picky, just ate small bites Finish the food.

Although she procrastinated in the restaurant for a long time, she still couldn't wait for Ian's arrival until the end.

Helpless, she had no choice but to return to the deck sadly, intending to enjoy the sea breeze to get some air, but as soon as she reached the stairs, she saw Ian and Celia walking down the stairs together.

"Earl Edery." Daenerys greeted first, "Lady Celia."

"Your Majesty." Ian saluted immediately.

"Your Majesty." Celia followed suit.

"You are this?"

"I just met Priest Celia in the corridor, and I asked her some questions about High Valyrian. I plan to learn this language in detail from her later." Ian explained with a smile .

"I can teach you too." Daenerys said subconsciously.

"Your Majesty?" Ian pretended to have a puzzled expression, and at the same time slandered in his heart, no, you can't, I learned to seal a book like you.

"No," Dany explained again in embarrassment, lowering her head, "I just want to say that I am also proficient in High Valyrian. If you have any doubts, Lord Darry, you can also ask me."

"Compared to that," Ian didn't want to continue to entangle with her on the issue of learning foreign languages, "I found something in Illyrio's gift, I think you should like it."

"What is it?" Daenerys' attention was immediately attracted.

"Come with me." Ian beckoned, and then walked down the stairs with Daenerys and Celia, and soon they came to a small room guarded by two knights.

Seeing Ian's arrival, the guard opened the door of the room. Since there were no windows in the storage room in the belly of the ship, a guard entered the door and lit the oil lamp inside with a torch before pushing out.

Ian walked into the room, and then felt a faint musty smell.

Enduring the smell, Ian walked to the wall and took out a cedar wooden box from among the many boxes. Earlier, he had taken the dragon egg out of the system backpack and put it into this box.

In the other nearly ten boxes, gold and jewels worth more than 7 gold dragons were contained. This is because Rolle and the others only ransacked a treasure house and some rooms in Illyrio, and did not take away any large items. harvest under the circumstances.

If Rohr and the others were given half a day to search carefully, or if they moved away the big goods without worrying about being blocked on the road, maybe Ian, the thief's advanced achievement, would have been completed directly.

Now is not the time to think about those meaningless things, Ian stopped fantasizing, placed the box on the ground in front of Dani, and opened it.

"Wow!" Daenerys sighed immediately, and in her opinion, the huge dragon egg was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen in her life.

"This is a dragon egg from the land of shadows east of Asshai." Ian directly relayed Illyrio's description of the dragon egg, "It has been fossilized for thousands of years, but it is still beautiful and moving."

Although it is said that these three eggs were the three that Alyssa Farman stole from Rhaena Targaryen in 54AC and later sold to Braavos Aquaman.But Ian feels that just over 200 years may not be enough to turn dragon eggs into fossils.

Of course, it is also possible that once the dragon egg loses the blessing of some kind of magical power, it will soon turn into a stone, but Ian needs to further verify that statement in the future.

"You are of the blood of true dragons, so I think you should like them," he continued.

Dany didn't answer Ian, because at this moment, her whole body and mind were attracted by the three dragon eggs.

One dragon egg was dark green with many spots of bronze, one pale milky white with streaks of gold, and the last was black, like a midnight ocean, but with vibrant dark red waves and swirls.

They were so rich in texture and color that at first Dany thought their shells were brilliant gems.

She took a dragon egg in both hands and looked at it carefully. It looked like fine china or enamel, or blown glass, she thought, though the egg was much heavier than any of these, like a solid stone.

There are tiny scales on the surface of the egg shell. She is playing with the dragon egg, and the light of the oil lamp shines on the egg through her fingers, making it shine like a polished reflective luster.

Suddenly, Daenerys felt a throbbing in her heart. She raised her head, but found that the egg in her hand was gone. She looked around in a panic, but couldn't see Ian.

All around was shrouded in darkness, only the area in front of her was under the faint light. Once again, she heard the sound of flames burning, so she raised her head to the top of her head—the source of the sound. , a pillar of fire that was sprayed into the sky flashed, and she was in a trance for a while.

Then the pillar of fire disappeared, and the light around her also disappeared, and the last thing left in her field of vision was the giant black shadow looking down at her just before the light disappeared.

It was a dragon, she knew it.

"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Dany?" Ian's shout pulled her out of the hallucination, and she realized that she was staring at the torch in Ian's hand in a daze.

"What happened to you just now?" Ian asked while wiping the sweat off Dani's forehead with a handkerchief, "Is it too hot in the cabin? Why are you sweating so much all of a sudden?"

"Yeah, I'm kind of hot," Daenerys said along with the reasoning before she realized the movement of Ian's hands.

This is trespassing!I am your queen!She shouted in her heart, you shouldn't treat me like a child!
But how should he get along with me?Like with Viserys?Respectful and trembling?no no no!Thinking of that scene, Dani felt bad in her heart, it was too bad, and she couldn't accept it.

Until the end of the action in Ian's hand, Dany was still struggling with the question of whether to stop him.

"Your Majesty, did you see something just now? Is it a dragon?" At this moment, Celia suddenly interrupted Daenerys' thinking.

"How do you know?" The little queen was startled.

Because that's what I let you see, "Because I saw it too," Celia smiled, "That's the revelation from the Lord of Light. He told me that you will use these eggs to bring the magic dragon back to the world."

Dani hurriedly turned her head to look at those dragon eggs. In an instant, thousands of blood-red sparks flashed in front of her eyes. She blinked, but they were all gone.

"Stones," whispered Daenerys, "are just stones."

The dragons were dead long ago, Viserys had told her, and when the doom had come to Valyria and Eversummer, magic would have died out in the West too, and spelled swords and weather-singers and dragons had died. irreparable.

Their Targaryen is the only dragon king family that escaped the doomsday catastrophe. With the help of the dragon, they conquered the whole of Westeros.But the last of the Targaryen dragons had died about a century and a half ago, during the reign of Aegon III, and he was called "Dragonbane" for that reason.

"It's just stones," Daenerys repeated, but she couldn't help reaching out to the egg, as if something in the stones was attracting her.
