Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day.

Chapter 600: Horns sound, dragons dance

Gray-haired Charles' face was full of sincerity, as if he was willing to give everything he had.

Rhaegar smiled with a playful look.

Through that seemingly sincere face, he smelled the scent of temptation.

"Your Majesty, the Orion family was once married to the Targaryens, and the Forty Dragon Kings are always one family."

The grey-haired charr spoke hoarsely, trying to stir up memories of old Valyria.

"Haha~"

Rhaegar smiled and said, "How long has Stormcloud been in Telia?"

"Stormy clouds?"

Gray-haired Charles was stunned when he heard this and didn't react.

Rhaegar said calmly, "It's the blue baby dragon."

Damon has already started the hunt and has thought of a name for the young dragon in advance.

It fits its courage to ride out the storm.

Gray-haired Charles choked and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty, that is a wild dragon from outside, belonging to..."

"A Targaryen!"

Rhaegar interrupted directly without any room for negotiation.

That is the baby dragon hatched from Dreamfire's dragon egg, and no one can touch it.

The force is stronger than the person. Gray-haired Charles smiled awkwardly: "Yes, it belongs to the existing Dragon King."

During the conversation, it was not difficult to find that the other party had a clear goal and it was not just a chance visit to Tria.

"Besides Baoyun, have you ever seen any other dragons?"

Rhaegar asked condescendingly, his eyes gleaming with inquiry.

"No, absolutely not."

Gray-haired Charles waved his hands repeatedly and said firmly: "The Smoke Sea is not suitable for dragons to survive. Even the most basic problem of food is difficult."

"you sure?"

Rhaegar's face grew colder and he threw out a sea chart.

Gray-haired Charles was stunned. He picked up the nautical chart and looked at it, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

The map showed a simple route, with the destination being a site in the Sea of ​​Smoke, and notes from the Belleris family.

On the other side of the site, a red line in an arc connects another site.

It is the ruins of "Teliya".

The two ruins are not far apart, separated by a vast sea of ​​smoke.

There is a continental plate to the south, but it is blocked by the icon of an underwater volcano, which is marked with a big red cross.

Rega pulled out the true fire from his waist and said coldly: "The sea of ​​smoke is so big, and there is a wild dragon wandering around. I don't believe you haven't seen it."

The Land of Long Summer is hidden in mist and was previously an undiscovered continental plate.

Looking across both sides of the Sea of ​​Smoke, apart from large and small deserted islands, only Tria, located on the continental plate, is a place to stay.

Moreover, the strange fish that fall during the storms form a natural supply.

The young dragon Baoyun crossed the sea of ​​smoke and finally became active near Telia.

Mogul, the former wild dragon of the Sea of ​​Smoke, lived in the Sea of ​​Smoke for decades and should have been wandering around Telia.

"Your Majesty, I did not lie."

Gray-haired Charles panicked and quickly made up: "The climate in Telia is bad. We can only hear dragon roars occasionally during storms, but no wild dragons appear."

"You're dishonest!"

Rhaegar's eyes fixed, and he put his sword on the other's neck.

The cold Valyrian steel sword was pressed against his throat, the black blade flashing with a cold light.

Gray-haired Charles' body froze, and he said in a trembling voice, "Don't kill me. There are relics of our ancestors in the underground palace. You can take them all."

"Your bloodline is hated by the dragon."

Rhaegar spoke freely and made a bold guess: "You have tried to tame dragons, but you were not recognized and were burned by dragon flames."

As he spoke, he looked around the ruined city-state under the night sky.

The ground was covered with scorched earth and the stench of burning corpses was emanating.

Some of the scorched earth is dry and cracked, becoming one with the environment.

Those are the remaining traces after the doomsday catastrophe.

The buildings surrounding the ruined palace are new ruins where you can feel the ashes if you step on them.

Even after heavy rain, the smell of sulfur still lingers.

This smell is difficult to distinguish for the descendants of Orion who rarely come into contact with dragons.

In front of Rhaegar, who had ridden dragons since childhood, she stood out like a girl with all her clothes taken off.

Gray-haired Charles was stunned, sweating profusely from nervousness.

That silver-black wild dragon did appear in Tria.

Some even built their nests outside the city-state.

But no one can tame it.

Anyone who dared to get close was burned to ashes.

Until many years ago, the wild dragon disappeared inexplicably and everyone thought it had fallen somewhere in the sea of ​​smoke.

"His Majesty……"

The gray-haired Ciel's voice trembled and his cloudy pupils widened subconsciously.

Pfft!

The true fire pierced through the throat, and the pitch-black sword blade went through the back of the neck.

"Ho ho~~"

Gray-haired Charles' eyes were bloodshot, and he covered the wound that was gushing with blood, making a hoarse sound of disbelief.

Rhaegar's face was calm as he whispered, "A descendant of the Dragon King who wants to tame a dragon is not a good compatriot."

After saying that, he pulled out the real fire that was stuck in the bone gap.

The undried body fell down with a thud and fell into the wet mud.

Rhaegar lifted up the corner of his clothes, wiped the blood off the blade, and looked towards the cave entrance: "What kind of danger is hidden in this cave?"

One thing is certain.

The Resurrection Orchid really exists. It is the special plant that the other party first mentioned.

"We still have to find out."

Rhaegar didn't trust the half-truths and raised his head silently.

call--

Layers of dark clouds stirred, and a strong wind blew in the dark night sky, revealing a pair of eerie green eyes.

The Glutton flapped its wings and slowly descended from the clouds.

boom--

The ruined palace was completely destroyed and became a stepping stone for the dragon.

Rhaegar raised his hand to shield his face from the flying debris.

"Roar……"

The Glutton stretched his neck, sniffed towards the underground entrance, and let out a vigilant growl.

……

Ruined city-state, mountains on the west side.

The land was barren and scorched earth, and every mountain range was barren.

At the foot of a collapsed dormant volcano, dragon flames burned out of its lair.

"Hiss..."

The dark blue young dragon fluttered in its nest, rubbing its shiny scales against the stone wall, weakening the damage caused by the dark green dragon flame.

A few dry bones can be vaguely seen inside the dark nest.

In the corners, there are piles of fossilized dragon eggs and various rare minerals.

"Hiss... Ga..."

A scarlet, snake-like monster streaked across the night sky and landed directly on the top of the Sleeping Volcano.

Korak stretched out his snake-like neck, his nostrils slightly opening and closing, smelling the scent of the baby dragon.

"Hiss!"

Korakxiu jumped off the dormant volcano nimbly and landed in front of the nest at the foot of the mountain.

Damon's body was shaking, his expression was solemn: "Catch it, don't hold back."

“Hiss~!”

A black shadow streaked across the night sky, and red vertical pupils looked down, searching for a familiar breath.

Damon glanced at it, unconcerned.

Both the good nephew and the sea snake are close to the locals.

One is looking for the resurrection orchid that can heal his brother, and the other is trading supplies for scraps in the ruins.

Naturally, he would take on the task of capturing the young dragon.

……

Ruined palace.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock...

Rhaegar walked down the stairs and entered the quiet underground palace.

hum-

True fire burns fiercely, dispelling darkness and bringing light.

Rhaegar felt a little blinded and walked carefully along the dripping wall.

The surroundings were cold and damp, with a faint stench of decay.

Click!

Rhaegar accidentally stepped on a brick.

In an instant, the wall lamps on the surrounding walls burned one after another, casting a hazy halo of light.

Boom——

Before Rega could react, the mechanism at the entrance behind him was triggered and closed rapidly and tightly.

"Roar……"

Rhaegar looked back suddenly and could still hear the Glutton's growl.

But the entrance was closed and no one knew where the mechanism was hidden.

Rhaegar smiled suddenly: "Want to trap me to death here?"

No wonder Gray-haired Charles kept luring me into the underground palace. It turned out he had this plan in mind.

But even if they were trapped, how would Damon and the sea snakes solve the problem?
Do you really think that if the glutton loses his rider, he will be able to take a fancy to a group of hybrid dragon kings?

"What a ridiculous trick."

Rhaegar shook his head, but he looked down on this desperate strategy.

I think the other party also knew that I would not let them go, so they dared to take such a desperate measure.

The underground palace is illuminated and the view is wide.

Rhaegar looked around and was attracted by several halos of light, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

A deep pit was dug in the center of the empty underground palace.

A huge black dragon skeleton Chen Heng was in the pit, like a small mountain range.

Lei hurried forward and observed closely.

The dragon skeleton is sixty meters long, which is already among the ranks of mature dragons.

"It seems that the former Dragon King Orion was indeed quite capable."

Rhaegar knew what was going on.

A mature dragon already has the confidence to restore ancient Valyria.

Unfortunately, he chose the wrong direction and died halfway.

Looking at this giant dragon skeleton, the word can be described as tragic.

One of its wings was almost shattered, the thickest vertebra was broken, the already ferocious dragon skull was covered with cracks, and its horns were broken off.

Given the dragon's body structure, all of these injuries were fatal.

"It's hard to imagine what kind of monster could injure the dragon to this extent."

Rhaegar reached out and touched it, feeling awe.

Even though this red dragon was seriously injured, he was still able to bring the Dragon King Orion to Telia, which shows that he has a strong temperament.

What a pity!
Unable to trigger the explorer mission, Rega reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Looking around the dragon skeleton, there was muddy soil and various corpses scattered around.

Human-shaped, fish bones...

There were even several deformed dragon skeletons the size of hounds, like fire dragon worms without wings or claws.

And in this rotten soil filled with corpses, several beautiful, sparkling orchids grew.

"Resurrection Orchid!"

Rhaegar jumped into the pit and quickly picked off these special plants.

There are five resurrection orchids in total, each placed in a sandalwood box.

Boom——

Suddenly, the ground shook.

Rhaegar's face changed and he turned over and jumped out of the deep pit.

Then, the rotten soil was seen surging up and down, releasing hot air flows.

Rumbling--

A crack appeared in the underground palace, and a dazzling red flame emerged.

From a distance, Rhaegar could see the bubbling underground lava.

"This underground palace has such a design?"

Because Tria is the core city-state of the Free Fortress Empire, various institutions emerge one after another.

"Hiss..."

A hissing sound was heard from above the magma, and an ugly fire dragon worm emerged.

The fire dragon worm felt the heat from the magma and dragged its sturdy body upwards.

The moment he saw Rhaegar, his brutal nature was relieved.

"Hiss..."

The fire dragon insect screamed sharply and spewed out a mouthful of flames with thick smoke.

"Damn beast!"

Rhaegar cursed inwardly and dodged to the side to avoid the flames.

Zi La La...

The flames fell on the bricks and stones, corroding them like sulfuric acid.

Rhaegar was startled and glad he didn't resist.

Although the flame of the fire dragon worm is not as hot as the dragon flame, it is still quite lethal.

Thick smoke and corrosiveness are both good helpers in killing humans.

Gulu gulu~~
Rhaegar rolled over and stood up, just in time to see the boiling lava underground.

Right now,

A circular altar made of black dragon stone stood in the lava, with a giant dragon statue standing on each side.

Rhaegar's gaze reached.

A huge black horn inlaid with scarlet gems was placed in the center of the altar.

The whole body has a metallic luster, and the surface is engraved with densely packed tiny characters, revealing an ancient atmosphere in its exquisiteness.

"Dragon Horn!"

Rhaegar's eyes widened and his throat was hoarse from dryness.

"Hiss..."

The fire dragon worm stuck out its ugly head and climbed up with great effort, roaring.

Seeing that Rhaegar did not leave, he breathed out another breath of flames.

Rhaegar caught a glimpse of it from the corner of his eye and immediately rolled sideways to avoid the dangerous attack.

At the same time, the glutton in his heart contacts the outside world.

"Hiss..."

The fire dragon worm refused to give in. It roared like crazy and opened its mouth to spit out flames.

This brainless creature is the most stubborn and follows its instincts.

"As expected of a dragon maggot, it's as annoying as a maggot in a sewer."

Rhaegar dodged and looked around, occasionally glancing at the ancient horn on the altar.

No one knew what mechanism had been triggered, but the underground lava continued to rise, almost submerging the Dragon Stone Altar.

The roar of a fire dragon insect could be faintly heard from the cracked rock.

Rega gritted his teeth secretly and complained: "No wonder the dragon's horn was not taken away. It was actually occupied by a group of fire dragon insects as a nest."

However, the moment he saw the Dragon Horn, he began to waver in his belief in the experience of the Dragon King Orion.

The other party probably knew that Telia had a Dragon Horn and wanted to take advantage of the situation.

The price is being killed along the way, causing future generations to suffer.

"The Dragon's Horn belongs to me!"

Rhaegar's eyes showed a fierce look as he pondered how to get the treasure.

"Hiss..."

The fire dragon insect swooped over, spraying mucus from its valved mouthparts, trying to swallow the food in one gulp.

Rega was agile and dodged by stepping on the edge of the deep pit.

At the moment of jumping, he caught a glimpse of the giant dragon's corpse tilting, and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Have it!"

Rhaegar's eyes flashed with brilliance. He climbed up the keel, cut off a piece of saddle rope from the saddle, wrapped it around his arm, and jumped up.

"Hiss..."

The fire dragon worm spewed out flames, which exploded on the shattered dragon skull.

Rhaegar closed his eyes, and black fire surrounded him.

One end of the saddle rope was tied to the dragon's neck, and with the help of the shaking force, Rhaegar was thrown under the underground palace.

The dragon's saddle rope is very long, used as a rope ladder for climbing.

Rhaegar controlled the length of the sword just enough to cut through the spreading lava and pass over the dragonstone altar.

"follow me!"

Rega suddenly opened his eyes, tore off the space necklace around his neck, and wrapped it around his left wrist.

With a wave of his hand, the distance between him and the dragon's horn was about one foot.

hum-

The spiritual power spread, locked onto the dragon horn which was as thick as two people could hug, and instantly took it into his pocket.

"Hiss..."

Just when he succeeded, a fire dragon insect came out from the side and opened its mouth wide to bite him.

Rhaegar's expression changed drastically and his mind went blank for a moment.

next second.

Driven by instinct, the Valeri steel spear "Dawn" appeared out of thin air in his left hand and stabbed towards the mouthparts that were splattering saliva.

"Get out of my way!"

Rhaegar roared, and all his strength burst out.

puff-

The moment the fire dragon worm closed its mouthparts, Dawn pierced through its upper jaw, and the cold tip of the gun poked out from its dense scales.

Rhaegar loosened his hand, used the force to swing his body upwards, grasped the tip of the gun and pulled it out violently and quickly.

stab-

Hot blood splattered everywhere, and the black fire attached to the gun burned through the fire dragon worm's head.

The fire dragon worm died instantly and fell limply into the lava.

Before Rega could breathe a sigh of relief, the swinging force was not enough and the fire dragonworms in the underground palace attacked again.

At the critical moment.

"Hiss-"

The underground palace shook violently, dark green flames melted the slate ceiling, and a pitch-black dragon claw dropped from the sky.

puff-

The fire dragon worm failed to dodge in time and was crushed into meat paste by the dragon's claws.

The roar became louder and louder, and the underground palace collapsed rapidly.

"Hiss-"

The ferocious dragon head crashed into the underground palace, and its green vertical pupils locked onto the rider who was swinging on the saddle rope.

He bit the dragon's back to pieces with one bite, and pulled it up high along with the saddle.

Rhaegar grasped one end of the saddle rope and pulled it up like a kite.

Rumbling--

The underground palace collapsed completely, and the giant black dragon raised its head, blowing away the choking dust.

With a slight movement of the neck, the saddle in the mouth came into play.

Bronze scales sprouted from Rhaegar's body to protect him from the rubble. He let go of the saddle rope and landed on the flat dragon's back.

"Hiss-"

The Glutton roared toward the sky and flew into the sky carrying the rider.
