Chapter 344 The Price (Part 2)

Daenerys pinched oneself's thigh and felt pain. She walked quickly to the river with anticipation, and picked up the "Dragon Controlling Code" left by the mysterious woman.

The material of the paper of the book is strange. Although it has a strong sense of time, there is no sign of decay. The whole book is written by High Valyrian. Not like a fake. Daenerys forgot his exhaustion and hunger in an instant, turned to the first page, and began to read word for word, quickly immersed in it.

The opening part is not esoteric. It can even be said that it is quite simple and easy to understand. Daenerys, who has excellent Valyria language skills, can read the first chapter with ease.

 …

This is more of a background history than an explanation.

The First Volume of "The Collection of Dragon Blood" revolves around the core of "Dragon Control Prerequisites", and focuses on the explanation and narrative of the definition and origin of "dragon blood".

dragon blood, which is "True Dragon bloodline" in common language.

Valyrian is divided into two kinds: narrow and broad. Among them, Valyrian in a broad sense, namely "Valyria Freehold citizens", refers to all the free-born and land-owning property classes within the territory of Valyria.

Valyrian in a narrow sense refers to those who have silver hair and purple eyes and possess the innate talent of controlling dragons—that is, those who truly possess dragon blood.

The protagonist of the story is a small part of this narrow Valyrian: the Dragonlords who legally own dragons and can ride dragons.

＊＊＊

In the beginning, in the entire Valyria, there was only one family member with strange inhuman beauty and innate talent for riding a dragon. The rest of the citizens were all vassals and servants of this family. or vassal. The members of the first Dragon Royal Family, also known as the "Original Dragonlords", inevitably produced illegal children in their dealings with the rest of the citizens of Valyria - those who did not have the Dragonlord surname, but flowed in their bodies. dragon blood, and indeed special Valyria citizens with the same characteristics as the original Dragonlords.

At that time, the number of Dragonriders was far less than the number of dragons, and a large number of wild Demon Dragons flew freely among the Fourteen Flames in Valyria, and anyone could not urge them. In line with the idea of rapidly increasing the number of Dragonriders to enhance Freehold's own strength, and also out of the original Dragonlords' love for the oneself illegitimate child - the Leaders of the first Dragon Royal Family generously promulgated a broad distribution after considering it. Favorable, far-reaching decree:

【All the illegitimate children of the original Dragonlords and even the descendants of the illegitimate children, as long as they can successfully control the dragon, they can become the founders of the new dragon Royal Family. High status and treatment. ]

This decree has been in effect for nearly a hundred years. During this period, illegitimate children with silver-blond color, purple or indigo eyes, and in short, dragon blood, set foot in the Fourteen Flames one after another, and ventured into the Fourteen Flames. Try to tame the wild Demon Dragon in mortal danger. The losers are smashed to pieces under sharp claws, fangs or dragon flames, and disappear into the long river of history; while the winners are salted fish Exceeding Dragon Sect, become Dragonrider and the founder of a new dragon Royal Family. The surname of oneself is inscribed in the history of Valyria.

That's it...the wild Demon Dragons among the Fourteen Flames decreased one by one, and the number of dragon Royal Family quickly changed from one to two, three...and eventually expanded to a dozen or even dozens Piece.

Finally, the founder of the fortieth dragon Royal Family tamed the last wild Demon Dragon in sight among the Fourteen Flames, marking the end of the Primordial Dragon Royal Family's decree of mercy. After this important time point, the forty Dragon Royal Family together re-enacted and clarified the Freehold Constitution, commonly known as the "Dragonlord Law", regarding intermarriage and Demon Dragon ownership, which was used until the destruction of Valyria. It is stipulated that Valyrians who intermarry each other or are generated within each other, and have one of the forty dragon Royal Family bloodline and surname at the same time, are eligible to ride dragons. People apart from this, even with dragon blood and innate talent, are not eligible to become Dragonrider.

…

A bit complicated? It's okay, just remember one thing: the forty dragon Royal Family monopolizes the Demon Dragon's domestication, breeding, and riding power, and what comes with it - the voice and control at the very top of Valyria Freehold. Since then, even if the characteristics of silver hair and purple eyes and even dragon blood spread to the whole world with the mercy of the Dragonriders, but from the birth to the destruction of Freehold, every decree of Valyria, every Dragonrider, comes from these forty Greats. Family . With a few exceptions, it is often the illegal child who surreptitiously rides an intimate unowned young dragon when shepherding a dragon for the main family - and this is a felony under Freehold's law, and the offender either relies on the dragon's owner's admission to obtain a surname. In order to transform into legal, or face the pursuit of all other Dragonlords in the whole world, irreconcilable.

At the end of the first chapter of the essential code, there is a list of the surnames of the forty dragons Royal Family. Three surnames in a row.

1+13, a total of fourteen lines, a full page.

And "Targaryen", standing in the penultimate row, was one of the lucky ones who finally became the legal dragon Royal Family. The Valyria family "Velaryon", also known to the Seven Kingdoms, is not among them, but is a subsidiary family of Targaryen, not one of the Dragon Royal Family of Freehold.

Forty Dragon Royal Family, hundreds of Dragonriders, Valyria's former prosperity and prosperity seems to be in sight. It is a pity that all the forerunners, including the original Dragonlords, were annihilated in the torrent of time in the mysterious catastrophe and subsequent turmoil of the Doomsday, and now there is only a single Targaryen left...

If If the little Aegon who is currently in the Westeros confrontation with the slayer family is a counterfeit, Targaryen, the last dragon Royal Family, and only oneself, the last woman, is destined to perish completely.

Daenerys sighed with the desolation of the blue sea turned into mulberry fields, and turned the page to chapter two.

The principle of dragon control.

That's it. The little Queen shook off the sadness and grace in her mind and read it carefully.

After a long while, she realized that many of oneself's previous superficial and empirical cognitions about dragon control were almost all deviated from the right path.

Dragonrider's "taming" of dragons is not at all like riding a horse as she previously thought - relying on skills and training to make dragon shape a conditioned reflex of paired passwords and body movements. Whether it is a special word or a whip, it is the unorthodox way. The real dragon control is to use the dragon's approval of the Valyrian with dragon blood to bind the selected dragon at the Soul level with a magical and complicated contract. After that, Dragonrider can control the dragon through the mind, instructing and manipulating the dragon like a part of oneself's body.

With regard to becoming a Dragonrider, Chapter 2 begins with a list of several accepted empirical laws.

1. Riding a dragon ≠ Riding a dragon. A certain person may experience the feeling of riding several dragons because of his special status (Dragon Breeder) or strong strength (Magic or others). But in its lifetime, it can only be bound one-to-one with a dragon at the same time, becoming its driver and rider.

Second, the dragon's lifespan is longer than that of the human, but the Demon Dragon with the master will not accept the second Dragonrider before the death of the previous contractor, no matter whether they are familiar with each other or whether they are strong or weak.

3. The closer the bloodline is to the original Dragonlord, the purer the Dragonlord bloodline, and the higher the success rate of the Dragonlord. Primordial Dragonlords who have never married outsiders must be able to ride dragons. But with the dilution of bloodline, Yulong's success rate will drop at an alarming rate and proportion.

Fourth, dragon blood may not necessarily be able to control dragons, but without dragon blood it is impossible to control dragons - this is the lesson Freehold has learned through countless failed and bloody experiments.

......

These laws do not contradict Daenerys' perception: she is the nurturer of three dragons, the mother of three black, white and green dragons. Although I haven't tried it, but in the future, if I want to ride Rhaegal and Viserion, I probably won't be bitten or thrown off. But what she wants is obviously not a simple ride, but a control like an arm - only a real dragon can make her like Aegon the Conqueror, accurately and ruthlessly bring blood and fire to the enemy, and retake the belongings. oneself thing.

Very well, the Dragon Rider Covenant and Binding Incantation is on the next page, which is exactly the knowledge Daenerys wanted.

Then she soon discovered that the third chapter was completely different from the first two: although it was also written in the Valyria script, even in the same style and size, she couldn't read it.

Accurately speaking, I can understand every word in it, but I don't understand what it means or how to operate it.

In the less than 18 years of Daenerys' life experience, he has only one time with Magic. Following Mirri Maz Duur's practice, he awakened the three dragon eggs by blood sacrifice and self-immolation. But that was a poor parody, acting purely on instinct, with Maegi's own demonstrations that only succeeded before - but now, the dragon-riding contract requires her to unleash the power of dragon blood, and the incantation requires her to use mental strength Precise control of the "second" body.

What does this... mean, and how do I do it?

After some futile efforts and struggles, Daenerys understands that the oneself who lacks the necessary foundation cannot master the real dragon mastery on her own. She needs guidance and must pay the price she should pay.

She didn't wait too long. At about the same time on the second day, the mysterious woman appeared in front of her again.

...

"Save your lines, I want you to teach me." For some reason, Daenerys just made sure the other party had this ability, "Tell me the price."

...

Kui lizard was amused by the eagerness and directness of the little Queen in front of him, seemed to shake his shoulders with a smile, and still spoke at a moderate pace.

"Countless dragon seekers are monitoring my whereabouts and whereabouts, intending to find the lonely Mother of Dragons through me. For your safety, I have to choose this way, using spells with you. See you. And doing this requires magic power, a lot of magic power-too much magic power that I can't bear." The red lacquer mask blocked the face of the mysterious woman, but it couldn't hide the unpredictable divine light in her eyes: "And in the blood of Dragonlord, there is power."
