Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 182 The Best Commander in the World
"You just said that I can bring the dragon back into the world?" Daenerys picked up a dragon egg and asked Celia, "Is this true?"

"The Lord of Light gives us revelations through flames, and sometimes through dreams," Celia nonsense said. In fact, she found no evidence that dragon dreams or prophetic dreams had anything to do with the Lord of Light, but what does that matter?She is the priest of the Red God, so all the great power will naturally belong to the King of Light,
"I just saw a giant dragon breathing fire towards the sky in the flames, and the dragon surrendered at your Majesty's feet. And this illusion just appeared when you obtained these dragon eggs, which is very strange Clearly some kind of foreshadowing."

Daenerys believed most of it, because the first half of what Celia said was indeed exactly the same as the scene she saw.

"So." Celia asked as if guessing, "Are you usually not afraid of flames? Or at least, not afraid of scorching heat."

"Not afraid of the scorching heat?" Daenerys immediately recalled the scene where she was able to bathe in boiling water at will, and then nodded, "That's right."

"Then, maybe you can try," Celia said, handing the torch in front of Daenerys, "try to touch the flame, if the flame won't hurt you, then I have some guesses It might be true."

"This is crazy." Daenerys hesitated, although she had long found that she was not afraid of the heat, but she had never acted so bizarrely.

"This is related to whether you can bring the dragon back to the world, Your Majesty." Celia reminded.

"I" Daenerys looked at Ian after hearing the words, and after getting the latter's affirmative response, she began to tentatively stretch out her palm to the orange-red flame.

This is crazy, she repeated in her heart, but at the same time there was a faint excitement.

The first time she just touched the flame with her fingertips, she quickly withdrew it, so fast that even ordinary people would not suffer any damage.

The second time she used three fingers, but she still retracted quickly.

But this time she vaguely discovered that these flames really couldn't bring her burning and tingling sensations.

So for the third time, Daenerys became bolder, and slowly approached the flame with both hands, gradually holding the entire fireball in her palm.

"Fire really won't hurt me!" she exclaimed excitedly.

"You are the darling of the King of Light, Your Majesty," Celia quickly complimented, and then she tried to explain her purpose, "It seems that God's revelation is not wrong, you are the mother of dragons in the prophecy, you Will bring the dragon back into the world."

"I..." Daenerys quickly suppressed the excitement of playing with fire when she heard these words, "What should I do?" She asked urgently.

"I have studied in the Red Temple of Volantis, and I have also visited Asshai, west of the Shadowlands, where I heard a secret method to awaken the dragon from the stone." Celia approached Daenerys, whispering to her the whole story of how she summons the dragon in the books... a version that replaces the word 'Drogo' with 'sacrifice'.

"So we're going to use Viserys' corpse?" Daenerys frowned, instinctively rejecting it.

"The blood of the real dragon flows from the former king, and it is perfect to exchange his blood for the life in the stone," Celia knew Daenerys hated Viserys, but she still pretended to be stupid, "Besides In this way, it is equivalent to a different way for the former king to accompany you."

I don't want Viserys by my side!Daenerys cried out in her heart, but she quickly changed her mind. When Viserys was alive, she was terrified, but when he died, she somehow missed her only relative.

Just like in the original book she named a dragon Viserion.

It might really be a good choice to give Viserys a new life in this way, and Daenerys looked at Ian thinking, "If we can really get a dragon, is there hope for regaining the Iron Throne? ?”

"When" Ian subconsciously wanted to give an affirmative answer, but he quickly stopped.

Pinning the hope of restoration on the Dragon is not a good thing, it will give Daenerys a preconceived notion that most of the credit is on her.

"No, Your Majesty," Ian shook his head, "The growth period of dragons is too long. It takes at least several decades for a newborn baby dragon to truly form an overwhelming combat power. I'm afraid it's hard to count on your restoration plan. Dragon, I want you to bring back dragons, just because dragons are the symbol of House Targaryen."

"You mean, we still need to wait decades before retaking the Iron Throne?" Daenerys was not surprised by this, but she was still a little disappointed.

"I mean, we're going to take back your Iron Throne without the help of the dragons," Ian corrected.

"Without the help of the dragon," Dany murmured, and then she asked, "but what to do? Brother he wants to give me to Drogo in exchange for an army, and now I can't marry Drogo , how are we going to get an army? If we don't have an army, we won't be able to take back the Iron Throne, right?"

"You can give yourself to me in exchange for an army." Ian's answer not only stunned Daenerys, but even Celia who was standing aside almost choked on his own saliva.

Is this what a vassal can say to his queen?
Ian can answer responsibly, yes.

Because Dany at this moment has not yet contracted the bad habits of those high-ranking people who contracted it when she was Carrisi in the original book, and now she has not been treated with respect by anyone, nor has she ever grasped the power of life and death of anyone.

Now she is just a timid, cowardly and unconfident little girl who has won the title of queen, has been a wanderer all her life, and has been bullied by Viserys all the time.

In this way, she will only be surprised by Ian's bold behavior, but will not feel any anger. She may feel that this is inappropriate, but her heart will be full of joy.

And this is exactly the effect Ian wants, he wants Daenerys to get used to it, let her treat this way of getting along as a norm, instead of thinking that she can be above him.

Sure enough, as Ian expected, Dani's face turned red to the ears instantly after hearing the words, but she didn't make any rebuttal.

"I will find the army for you, Your Majesty." Ian stopped teasing, but returned to a serious tone, "We will go to Astapor to buy the Unsullied."

"Slaves in bronze spiked helmets?" Of course Dany had seen the Unsullied, the main force of Illyrio's guard. "Can they defeat the knights of Westeros? They are too fat!"

"Illyrio or the Unsullied under the governor's command are all garden guards, they can't use their strengths at all, they often have nothing to do, and eunuchs tend to get fat, food is their only remaining desire, compared to them, Astapor Those Unsullied who have not been sold have always maintained their peak combat effectiveness." Ian explained.

"They were trained according to the legions of the ancient Ghis Empire. They are well-trained, strong in execution, and fearless of pain. They are the best infantry in the world. If they are handed over to the best commander in the world Lead, and you will be invincible.”

"The best commander in the world? Who is that?" Daenerys became interested.

"There is no doubt that it is me." Ian pointed to himself, "If you have seen my battle, you will find that all the generals of Westeros through the ages will be like fireflies and stars in front of me bleak."
