Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 142 Is it a sea snake or Lanino's species?
Ben Unebar looked at his feet quietly. Zhuoko chopped off Ben's head without mercy. The blood dyed the silver-gold hair of the descendant of the Dragon King red. Until this time, the Unsullied and Tiger Robe Army in the cabin came out one after another, and then they were beheaded one by one and their skulls were smashed.

Longzel then noticed Damon flying over to the side. The old prince now looked much older. Before the Dance of the Blood Dragons, Damon never grew a beard. Every time Longzel saw him, Damon would comb his hair neatly, tie it behind his head, shave his face clean, and even spray some perfume sometimes. But now, not only is Damon losing some hair, but the remaining silver hair has also become much grayer. Even the face that used to have no stubble now has a long beard. Even riding on the back of the still unruly and fierce Korakshu can't hide the fatigue and aging on Damon's face.

"Longzel, let's talk about it when we get to Dragonstone." Daemon watched Shufu and his warriors get rid of the last Unsullied and return to the Rat. The Rat slowly backed away and broke free from the hull of the galley. Wormithor spewed out a blazing dragon flame, setting the dragon thief's ship on fire.

Longzel couldn't help but sigh as he watched Daemon become so old. Wormisol stretched out his dragon wings and slowly caught up with Korakshuu who had turned his dragon head. Only Joffrey looked at the two young men retreating back to the Maus with some hesitation, and finally signaled the Maus to follow, and he followed the two dragons to fly towards Dragonstone.

When Joffrey saw the brothers Adam and Alyn, he immediately remembered his grandfather's instructions before his death.

Time goes back to when the sea serpent was dying.

Climax City, Jiuhang Hall.

Joffrey hastily threw off his dark blue cloak and ran and jumped up the spiral staircase leading to the Hall of Nine Flights. On both sides of the staircase were neatly arranged square niches of various sizes, each containing a variety of exotic treasures. The brown-black-haired boy walked around a statue of a harpy made of gold and decorated with jade and emeralds, and walked into the empty Hall of Nine Flights. The model of the Sea Serpent, made of 19 kinds of precious gems, animal bones, and fish beam wood, still stood in the center of the hall. Whale skeletons, statues of Qarth, treasures of Yidi and even Asshai, and specimens of exotic animals surrounded the huge ship model, forming a huge sea chart on the ground. The light of pearls and gems under the firelight alone was enough to illuminate the entire hall.

In the Jiuhang Hall, there was only an old, decayed man sitting on the driftwood throne, quietly watching his grandson run in.

"Grandfather, why are you here?" Joffrey rushed over anxiously: "The maester said that your physical condition does not allow big movements." Hearing his grandson's voice, the sea snake Collis raised his head with some effort and opened his eyes: "Joffrey? What time is it now?"

"Grandfather, it's wolf time." Joffrey anxiously tried to help his grandfather up, but the sea snake seemed to have taken root on the driftwood throne and didn't move. "It's wolf time, and sunrise is not far away." The sea snake waved with difficulty, motioning Joffrey to come closer. "Grandfather, you should hurry back to your room."

"Where are Alexandra and Rhaena?" Corliss asked. Joffrey paused for a moment, but quickly replied, "They are still resting. Rhaena played with Dawn too late and is now fast asleep."

"That's good, that's good." Collis muttered something meaningless. He could feel the vitality slipping away from his body, so he wanted to tell Joffrey a secret.

The side branches of the Velaryon family were useless, and he would not allow the children of Joffrey and the Martell family to marry the side branches with thin dragon blood and a bunch of waste. Those wastes actually tried to assassinate him and Joffrey while he was alive - because they knew that neither the court of King's Landing nor the court of Dragon's Nest could change Joffrey's inheritance rights. They failed as expected. The "Silent Five" who had their tongues cut off, led by Malendin who once publicly called Rhaenyra I a "bitch", were all burned to death by Tyrexu's dragon flame. And Wymond's two sons, Daeron and Damion, refused to participate in the conspiracy, and finally saved their lives. They received Joffrey's reward and settled down.

After learning that the two juniors had bowed their knees, Corliss sneered and commented, "They don't deserve to call themselves Velaryons. We have descendants who can control dragon flames and fly high in the sky, not cowards who pee their pants at the sight of dragon flames." The sea snake never gave up his desire for dragons, and his next generation was the generation with the richest dragon blood in the Velaryon family. It was also the generation with the greatest hope of keeping dragons in the Velaryon family.

The rise of the Vareses family is unstoppable. It is obvious to the naked eye that unless a romantic figure appears in the Targaryen family, the queen of the Iron Throne will have the blood of the Vareses, not that of his Velaryon family.

"Come here, child, I want to tell you something." The sea snake said softly, "But before that, you must swear to your ancestors and the Seven Gods that you will not reveal this matter to anyone."

"As long as you are willing to go back to your room and rest as soon as possible, grandfather, I swear by the new and old gods, as well as the ancestors of the Targaryen and Velaryon families, that I will not go against your wishes." Joffrey quickly raised his hand and said.

Collis nodded with satisfaction, bent down and whispered, "This is an ugly thing. I may be sorry for your grandmother."

"Ah?" Joffrey opened his mouth wide. He didn't expect this to happen and quickly covered his mouth.

Corliss smiled and said, "I'm not sure if it was me. There was a girl nicknamed 'Rat' in the shipyard in Hull Town. I remember her name was either Melinda or Marda, but I can't remember. Anyway, she was a very cute girl. I remember her father. Her father was one of my shipwrights. He was a dragon. But she didn't have any characteristics of a Valyrian. Of course, her father didn't have any characteristics of a Valyrian either."

Joffrey knew what dragons were. The illegitimate children of Targaryen men who went out to have fun were called "dragons" by outsiders. There were many of them on Dragonstone. Although the "good queen" Alysanne abolished the right of first night, the people on Dragonstone still respected these dragons very much. Dragons would intermarry to ensure that their "noble" "divine blood" could be passed on. The noble fathers of these dragons would sometimes pay a lot of money to the women they abused, so the dragons often had a decent life.

Joffrey decided to continue listening. "Your grandmother's love for Melias is no less than, or even greater than, her love for me. This sometimes makes me jealous of the dragon. Haha, to be honest, if I had a dragon, I would love her more than my wife." The sea serpent calmly recounted the love between herself and Rhaenys. Although Rhaenys loved dragons, fighting, and flying, the passionate love between her and the sea serpent was real.

"Ever since your grandmother married me, I have never been to the brothel in town. Even when I stopped at Rees, I never got off the boat again." Collis murmured, "But I didn't expect that the little girl in the shipyard I often went to was pregnant. She got pregnant right after my boat was repaired. I tried hard to recall that I didn't remember sleeping with her, nor did I remember that girl having any contact with any man other than me and Lanino. It was not until the child was born that I realized that he might indeed be our child."

Joffrey took a deep breath. He knew why his grandfather didn't continue. He could tell at a glance that it was Velaryon's child, which meant that the child born by the girl would definitely be a Valyrian with silver hair and purple eyes.

"That girl gave birth to two children, but she never brought them to the castle to find us." The sea snake said with some regret: "I once found her privately while repairing the ship. She said that these two children were Lanino's seeds. Lanino's seeds." The sea snake knew better than anyone what Lanino was like. That guy would not get hard in front of a woman. When she had sex with Rhaenyla, in order to have a child as soon as possible, Rhaenyla even acquiesced to Lanino pulling his male companion to bed. Of course, it was Lanino who was in the middle. But even so, Lanino still did not leave even a single seed. Even if Rhaenyla dressed up as a man, there was nothing she could do.

Now it is said that it is Lannino's seed, but the sea snake doesn't believe it. However, the sea snake does not have the memory of leaving any seeds. Well, this is actually the sea snake's self-deception. He knows better than anyone who warmed his bed and accompanied him to sleep during those days and nights. He just doesn't want to face the reality of betraying his wife.

"I understand." Joffrey felt that what his grandfather said was indeed a bit sad and speechless. "I will welcome them back when the time is right. After all, they are my brothers in name only and of Velaryon's blood. I will not let them wander around."

The sea serpent smiled: "I still remember their names, Adam and Erin." The old man lay down on the driftwood throne with a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes. He was too tired and wanted to sleep for a while.

Even after this sleep, I never woke up again.

His thoughts returned to him, and Joffrey jumped off the dragon's back in the courtyard of Dragonstone, preparing to go to the dock to see if the two silver-haired and purple-eyed boys were the Adam and Alyn his grandfather had mentioned.

Longzel and Daemon had already landed on the beach of Dragonstone. Longzel stood by the sea and looked at the aging Daemon: "Cousin, your beard is longer than that of His Majesty Viserys back then."

"Longzel, stop teasing me." Daemon smiled self-deprecatingly and stroked his beard. "It wasn't until I really sat on that iron chair that I understood my brother's difficulties." The old prince smiled bitterly and said, "There are all kinds of trivial matters every day, but these trivial matters have to be dealt with. To be honest, I'm glad that I didn't inherit this chair. The same goes for Rhaenyra. Humph, she got lucky by dying so early, leaving us to deal with these messes. Alas."

"What do you think about what Huo Geng and Ben said?" Longzel brought the subject back. Dragon's Nest City was not worried about someone coming in to steal dragons. First, unless you could fly, you could not enter the dragon's lair, let alone the dragon's lair tower where dragon eggs were stored. Second, there were Ago's Khalasars roaming around Dragon's Nest City. These barbarians who worshipped winged war horses would faithfully record the routes of the dragons' flights, and every Silver Blood Army manor would also monitor the whereabouts of the dragons. At the same time, the only wild dragon, Vermax, was not something that could be easily tamed. On Dragonstone Island, due to a lack of manpower, the dragons were still raised in the open air.

"It's not like no one has come to Dragonstone to steal dragons." Daemon knew that if these troubles were to be discussed, Longzel and his men were the culprits. They were the ones who rekindled the madness of the descendants of the dragon king. But he couldn't blame the most important ally of the Targaryen family. He could only explain the situation on Dragonstone in as much detail as possible.

"But dragons are not vegetarians. Every year, hundreds of white-haired people from all over the world sneaked to Dragonstone Island in an attempt to steal dragon eggs or ride a dragon, but they ignored the dragon itself."

Damon touched Korakhuu, who stretched out his long neck.

"Before the Conquest, the dragon riders lived on the island. The dragons they tamed would actively hunt strangers who approached Dragonstone. After the Conquest, the dragon riders controlled by the Targaryen family would return to Dragonstone from time to time to live for a period of time. Moreover, the wild dragons that appeared later dared to kill even their own kind. What were humans? Just a piece of meat. Take the glutton we hunted back then as an example. In front of its lair, the bones of the people who tried to tame it were piled up into a mountain."

At this moment, Damon remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Longzel, how many dragon king families are there behind the Black Wall of Volantis?"

"Then it depends on how it is divided. Like my family, there are only two or three true descendants of the Dragon King. The rest were established by the side branches that were expelled from the Free Fortress. There are even families established by the slaves of the Dragon King family who stayed in Volantis." Longzel found a clean stone and sat down, and Daemon also sat beside him.

"This is no longer the era of the Dragon Kings." Longzel said, "Ambition without the support of power is ultimately just empty talk."
