Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord
Chapter 5 Belleris
"Gavin, I want to tell you a secret. I have only told your father before. My real name is Alice Bellerys, and I am also one of the Dragon King bloodlines left after the doomsday catastrophe."
As he spoke, he took out two books with their covers torn off from the box under the bed, handed them to Gavin, and continued: "These two books each record some of the history of the Belleris family, which are the records of those who survived the apocalypse at that time. The ancestor carried it with him. The other is a diary written by that ancestor after the catastrophe, which tells some family secrets. Because of these secrets, I am the only one in the family who survives. "
Gavin took the book and flipped through it quickly. He thought to himself that this is indeed the case. It seems that I am also qualified to control the dragon. He asked Alice again: "Mother, the words written in this book are exactly what you taught me." My peculiar writing! So you taught me the writing just so that I can understand this book?"
Alice smiled slightly, showing gentleness, and replied softly: "Yes, Gavin. The language and writing I teach you is High Valyrian, and it is also the language that everyone in our family must master.伱You can take a look at these contents and decide for yourself whether you want to pursue the secrets in the diary or not when you grow up.”
Gavin was sitting on the beach, with seawater boiling in the pot in front of him. Due to lack of firewood, the flames were getting smaller and smaller, but Gavin's mind was not on it at all.
The secret that Alice told him that night two days ago was still swirling in his mind. He has read all the contents in the book and has a general understanding of the history of his mother's family.
Most books describing the history of the Belleris family are filled with words of praise for the power of the Belleris family, while substantive key information is relatively scarce. But even so, through the content between the lines in the book, one can still understand part of the powerful Valyria and Free Fortress at that time, as well as the political situation in the Free Fortress Council. The book also focuses on the absolute status held by House Belerys in the Valyrian Freehold.
According to the book, forty dragon king families jointly formed the Valyrian Free Fortress Council, and the entire country was ruled by the council.
The parliament is jointly managed by three high-ranking dragon king families as parliament presidents. Other dragon king families can participate in voting, and the number of votes is linked to the strength of the family. The surviving Targaryen is also one of them, but according to the description in the book, They have basically no say in parliament.
The Belerys family is not an ordinary Dragon King family. It is one of the three upper-ranking families that manage the Parliament. It even has the power of veto in the Free Fortress Parliament. The first and most powerful dragon owned by the family was named Belerys, which is also the origin of the family name.
The book describes Belerys as living for 800 years and covering the sky as he soared in the sky. During a dragon fight, it can even turn its flesh and blood into flames, thereby protecting it from all harm. Even the dragon knight it rides will turn into flames along with the dragon. Even in Valyria at that time, this dragon was almost invincible.
In addition to possessing the ability to control dragons, the Belerys family has also awakened the ability of fire warlocks in most clans throughout the ages. Even without the dragon, the Belerys people who possess magical power should still not be underestimated. Correspondingly, the other two high-ranking families control the abilities of blood witchcraft and prophecy respectively.
The owner recorded in another diary is named Orpheus Bellerith, who is also the ancestor of Gavin's lineage.
At the time of the doomsday catastrophe, the 18-year-old Orpheus happened to be in Braavos, and he was lucky enough to escape the doomsday catastrophe. However, his dragon is only a young dragon that can just be ridden. In the Age of Blood, the slaves rioted and killed the dragon. Orpheus took the opportunity to escape from Braavos. Even the clan sword he carried was lost and became a collection in Neptune's treasury.
Since then, Orpheus has been wandering in the continent of Essos, and he does not even dare to admit his own surname.
According to his memories in his diary, the Belerys family set up a secret underground dragon cave far away from Valyria, which contained dragon eggs and much of the family's knowledge, as well as countless gold and silver treasures. The dragon's lair is located deep underground and may not be destroyed even by the apocalypse.
Orpheus wanted to return to the ruins of Valyria to search, but the smoke and dust after the doomsday catastrophe obscured everything, and people could not even get close to the sea of smoke around Valyria.
It was not until 30 years later that the smoke slowly dissipated, and Orfus, who was nearly 50 years old, decided to explore the family's dragon lair and retrieve the family's treasures and dragon eggs. So, he handed over the tokens and other things he left behind to his descendants, and went to explore the place recorded in the diary alone, but he never came back.
In the following hundreds of years, members of the family continued to go to Valyria, but they never returned. To this day, only Alice's bloodline remains in the family inheritance. It wasn't until she met Morton and chose to settle down that she came to Westeros.
The fire that lacked firewood was about to go out, which awakened Gavin's tangled thoughts. He hurriedly added firewood and fiddled with the flames to keep the fire from going out. After doing all this, Gavin touched the pendant hanging on his chest.
I saw that the pendant was all milky white, with a smooth and moist surface. Under the weak light, it seemed to have a mysterious luster.
According to what the book and my mother said, this pendant is a token of the Bellerys family. The dragon that carved it was none other than Belerys, the most powerful dragon in the family.
Gavin touched the pendant and looked at it carefully. That night, his mother gave the pendant to Gavin. As soon as he touched the pendant, he could feel the energy contained in the pendant. He only studied it for two days and did not study it. He understood that he could only feel the energy in the pendant flowing into his body, but it was quite slow. Gavin, who was confused for a moment, could only put aside his doubts, put away today's results and walked towards the town.
Soon Gavin came to the familiar tavern again. As soon as he entered the door, Laman's wife came up to him with a smile, stretched out her hands to pinch his face again, and muttered: "Oh, this little guy Gavin is getting more and more handsome."
The tavern was extremely busy at this time, and the guests were chatting enthusiastically about current events.
"Have you heard? Robert Baratheon smashed Prince Rhaegar's chest with a hammer, and this war is about to end." A bearded man said loudly.
"Your news is out of date a long time ago. The war is over. Tywin Lannister deceived the gate of King's Landing and looted the capital." Another tall and thin man continued.
