Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 128 The Order of the Dragon Cave

Time can heal wounds and ease pain. Time can also take away the gentle autumn rain and bring the biting cold wind. The Royal Council under Daemon's leadership struggled to support the operation of King's Landing. The renovation of King's Landing started with the main buildings of the three high hills, and it may last for decades. After seeking allies in vain, the indignant Lord Corlys Velaryon returned to Tidehead Island sadly and spent the last years of his life in the Nine Flights Hall in High Tide City, accompanied by the rare treasures he obtained from his nine great voyages.

In the year 131 of the Conquest Era, two years after the Dance of the Dragons, the Sea Serpent finally boarded his flagship, which had been renamed the "Uncrowned Queen", and sailed to the end of his legendary life. After arranging the funeral of the Sea Serpent, Joffrey Velaryon flew to Dragon's Nest to visit his brother, and flew to Sunspear again to visit his disobedient fiancée. Although Alexandra Martell was not satisfied with her marriage and could not make her own decisions, Joffrey's gentle and decent manners and his handsome appearance still captured the girl. She decided to go to Climax with her fiancé until the two were married. It was also in these two years when the kingdom gradually came out of the pain of war that the Kingdom of the Three Daughters suffered a devastating disaster.

"The Red Monster" Dalton Greyjoy led a huge fleet of 300 longships, bypassed Dorne, and headed straight for the Stepstones after replenishing in Silvercrown. The self-proclaimed "Earl of Bloodstone" and "King of the Narrow Sea" Rachelino decisively joined Dalton's Iron Fleet. This plunderer fleet successively defeated the fleet of the Kingdom of the Three Daughters in the Stepstones. King Dalton strangely let Rees' fleet go. So, when the Iron Fleet looted the towns and ports outside Tyrosh, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters fell apart. Myr was afraid that Lys, who was still strong, would attack him, so he took the initiative to withdraw the warships of the combined fleet. Lys was also afraid of being attacked by the other two families, so he withdrew all his strength. So King Dalton happily broke through the city of Tyrosh. The Ironborn looted this free trade city-state for three whole months. The Tyrosh lords were drowned in the sea one by one by the red sea monster. The well-fed Ironborn used Tyrosh as their base and attacked Myr and Lys. While the people of Westeros were mending their wounds, longships were looting everywhere in the disputed lands. Every month, longships loaded with treasures and salt concubines returned to the Iron Islands from the Stepstones.

King Dalton did not take all the spoils of the looting for himself. After capturing the city of Tyrosh, he filled fifteen longships with gold and pearls and sailed them to King's Landing as "a coronation gift for King Aegon and an apology for not fighting loyally and promptly for the kingdom." Daemon gladly ate all the tributes and acquiesced in Dalton's looting of his three daughters.

As Corlys Velaryon's soul returned to the sea, the white crows symbolizing the arrival of winter also flew from the Raven Tower in Silvercrown to all parts of the country. This is the new classroom of Raven School in the Citadel and the location of half of the Citadel. This largest academic organization in Westeros was torn to pieces, but fortunately, the knowledge accumulated over thousands of years was not lost. The Citadel still has a future. Dr. Visari forcibly intervened in the management of Silvercrown's half of the Citadel. In the past two years, almost all the senior management of this half of the Citadel has been replaced by scholars from the Varese family. Longzel has also firmly grasped part of this originally "neutral" force in his hands.

Winter has arrived, and snow is howling from the Great Wall to the south. Finally, Hearthtown is the first to light a fire in the ice and snow. Later, the winter town under Winterfell rarely lights a long-burning bonfire. The entire North is soon covered with ice and snow, followed by the Vale, the Riverlands, the Westerly Territory and the Crownland.

But in Longchao City, the arrival of winter only means that the weather is getting cooler and the grain harvest cycle has become much longer.

"Roar~" The huge body of Womisol swept across the red mountains, leaving behind a long and sharp "Ah~" and a burst of laughter. Longzel laughed and looked at Diana in his arms. She was already pale, closed her eyes and curled up tightly on the dragon saddle, not daring to move. Longzel, on the other hand, held his wife with a slightly bulging belly in one hand, and held the handguard with the other hand, feeling the wind passing by his ears quite relaxedly.

"Longzel, take me down quickly." Diana's voice was a little tearful. Longzel signaled to Womisol to fly more steadily. The old dragon roared briskly, stopped flapping its wings, and slowed down. "Didn't you say it was exciting last time?" Longzel said with a smile, his short silver hair fluttering in the wind. As he grew older, he grew a neat mustache, which made him look more majestic.

"How did you fly last time?" Diana felt the dragon gradually stabilize, and couldn't help but say, "Last time you didn't turn halfway and let Wormisol fly so fast, ah, wait, don't!"

Longzier smiled and pressed the gauntlet again. Wormithor seemed to sense something and let out a roar. "Look at Leila. She didn't act like you when she flew with Valar." Longzier joked. Diana also smiled: "That's because Leila also has Valyrian blood. You belong to the sky, and I belong to the forest."

"No, you also belong to the sky now." Longzel gently pulled the hand guard, and Womisol roared to the sky, flew steadily to the sky for a while, and then slowly glided towards the direction of the dragon's lair. "By the way, Diana, have you thought of a name for the child?" Longzel thought for a while, gently touched his wife's belly, and asked.

"If it's a girl, we'll name her Serena. Longzel, I read the book 'The Family of the Valyrian Dragon Kings', which mentioned that the owner of this name once served as the governor of the Freehold and was the lord of the dragon group at that time. By the way, what is the title of lord of the dragon group?"

Longzel controlled the dragon to land smoothly on the platform outside the dragon cave, and carefully climbed down the dragon saddle while holding his wife. "During the Valyrian Freehold period, every family had at least one dragon lord. They either had a magic item that could summon a group of dragons, or they had the largest dragon in the family and could command the entire group of dragons through this dragon."

"Oh." Diana understood what this meant: "If the child is a girl, she will be named Serena. If it is a boy..."

"Let's call him Jakaris." A name suddenly popped up in Longzel's mind and he sighed. Diana was also stunned. After a while, she sighed and nodded.

In the dragon's lair, Womisoel roared and slowly crawled towards his huge nest. Womax was the first to come out of his cave and roared softly. Womisoel looked at Womax who poked his head out of the cave above and nodded slightly.

The same two low growls came from Shadow Nightmare and Storm Cloud who were slowly crawling out from the darkness. Storm Cloud carefully hid behind Shadow Nightmare, but Shadow Nightmare, without any hesitation, put its head over and rubbed Womisol's dragon wings. Womisol seemed a little helpless and growled at Shadow Nightmare. The black dragon then retracted its neck with satisfaction and looked at Storm Cloud.

Baoyun hurriedly shrank his neck and did not move forward. Shadow Nightmare seemed to growl in disappointment and pushed Baoyun hard with his nose. Baoyun had no choice but to crawl forward a few steps cautiously, lowered his head and growled twice. Womisoel looked at Shadow Nightmare, then at Baoyun, snorted, and used its huge dragon head, which was almost one-third of Baoyun's body length, to push Baoyun before continuing to crawl in. Baoyun, who was pushed by Womisoel, fell to the ground all of a sudden, struggled for a few times but failed to get up, and finally regained his balance with the help of Womax and Shadow Nightmare who were slowly crawling over. Shadow Nightmare seemed to roar at Baoyun a few times angrily. Baoyun shrank his neck a little aggrieved, but seemed to accept Shadow Nightmare's reprimand and followed it back to the nest obediently.

There were three dragons in the cave on the other side. Xingge was blocking the entrance of the cave, staring at Womisol motionlessly. When he saw the old dragon looking at him, he roared. Womisol continued to stare at the fast-growing little dragon.

The little dragon had reached the size of Araxes. Xingge hesitated and continued to block the entrance of the cave until Silver Wing's dragon roar sounded. Xingge then gave way to Chenxi and Huohuo, who showed their heads and growled at Womisoor. Womisoor then growled in satisfaction and crawled into his own nest.

"Every time I see a group of dragons like this, I feel that they are more like a group of real and emotional lives, rather than those horrible weapons in the legend." Diana could roughly guess what the scene just now meant. Wormisol occupied the position of king in this dragon cave. Silver Wing was naturally its queen, and Shadow Nightmare, who had a close relationship with it, occupied an important position. The little dragons composed of Shadow Nightmare, Wormax, and Stormcloud were Wormisol's "children" or "subjects" and were responsible for the work, while Xingge and the others were too small and could be considered "cubs" who needed protection.

"They are flesh and blood." Longzel handed the gloves to the silver guards, and a dozen silver-haired silver guards immediately stepped forward to clean Wormithal's body. For adult dragons, they can go out to find food by themselves, especially Wormithal. It prefers whales in the Dorne Sea, but the sheep and pigs in the dragon cave are an indispensable part. Therefore, a silver guard brought it a sheep as a meal.

"Where is Valar?" Longzel was not worried about Rey's location. His little brother liked two places the most, the dragon's lair and the large library in the Laurel Tower. He could often spend a whole day immersed in the sea of ​​books, or chat with Shadow Nightmare in the dragon's lair for a whole day. No one knew what he would say to the dragon.

The Silver Guard thought for a moment and said, "His Highness Valar came to the dragon's lair this morning to clean Silverwing and took the dragon eggs back. Your Highness, Silverwing laid three dragon eggs this month, and they have all been sent to the greenhouse. After that, he should have gone to the Dragon Crystal Tower. Lord Aslan asked His Highness Valar to teach His Majesty Aegon martial arts."

Longzel nodded: "Where are the children? Have you seen them?" The Silver Guards shook their heads: "They didn't come to the Dragon Cave Tower. We don't know where the children went." They were responsible for the affairs of the Dragon Cave and the Dragon Cave Tower. Apart from them, only the "elders" in the Silver Guards who were responsible for counting the dragon eggs and the leader of the Silver Guards, Chief Steward Yamor, could leave the Dragon Cave Tower and go to other towers.

Longzel frowned, "Today is the day when Aegon and Ringol tame dragons. What are they doing?"

Just when Longzel was wondering where the children had gone.

Summer Hall.

Aegon and Viserys had their silver hair wrapped in turbans, and behind them followed two little kids dressed in the same way. Ringol, looking unhappy, was pulled by his sister and followed behind the two boys.

"Your Majesty, skipping classes is wrong."

"Hush." ​​Aegon made a hasty gesture to silence him. "Ringol, you agreed to come out and buy Uncle Longzel a naming day present, so don't tell on me."

“Yes, yes.” Samantha also stretched out her hand to cover her brother’s mouth. “Don’t tell tales. Those who tell tales are not good brothers.”

Lingol grumbled aggrievedly, "You didn't say you wanted to skip class to buy it. Dragon's Nest City is not connected to Summer Hall. We will definitely be discovered. It's over. If Master Hoffa finds us..."

"Hush." ​​This time it was Viserys. "Let's go quickly and come back soon. If Master Hoffa asks, just say we went to the dragon's lair." The boy smiled slyly, "Anyway, Master Hoffa always encourages us to go to the dragon's lair and cultivate our relationship with the dragons."

"But you don't have a dragon either." Ringol muttered, and Viserys's face wrinkled. "Sometimes, sometimes."

"Children in front, where are your parents?"

A deep voice startled the children.
