Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 146 Where Does the Dragon Return?
"Where did you get the information?" Longzel was shocked. He had just returned from Dragonstone and didn't know the news at all. It stands to reason that Daemon would have informed him about the hatching of the dragon of the son of the traitor, but when he was at Dragonstone, Daemon didn't tell him about it. This meant that Daemon didn't know about it either, so how did Tigaro know about it? And he actually flew back from Dragonstone very quickly, so there was no time difference to transmit the message. It couldn't be that Tigaro used that thing. But the hatching of Mellar's dragon egg was not a big deal, so there was no need to use that kind of life-threatening magic prop to transmit the message.

"This news has just been reported back." Tigaro was also puzzled. He didn't understand why Daemon didn't inform Longzel about this matter. According to the report of the spy he planted in the dragon's lair, this happened three days ago. Unless Daemon has been on Dragonstone these days, he couldn't have been unaware of it.

He really didn't know.

In other words, Daemon didn't know that Meral's dragon egg had hatched a giant dragon until Korakshuu successfully became the king of the dragon cave. The reason was that the room where Meral's dragon eggs were stored was too remote, and the eggs were basically petrified, so the dragon guards on duty didn't go in to check. It was not until Daemon returned that the dragon guards on duty heard strange noises from the upper level of the dragon cave and went to check, but found nothing.

Until Korakhu climbed out of the dragon's lair with a hint of pride, raised his head and let out a low roar at Daemon.

Damon could roughly understand what Korakshu meant. This ability to listen to the dragon's thoughts came from the close connection that these dragon riders established after taming the dragons. It was only effective for the dragons and dragon riders who had established a connection. In simple terms, Damon could understand what Korakshu meant, but others could only hear Korakshu's sharp roar.

Korac Hugh: Here. Rule the upper cub flavor.

Daemon looked at Korakhu in confusion. He could understand what Korakhu meant, but the cub really surprised him. Garethos was still on Dragonstone. Robert Kanes would feed the dragon until it could fly independently, and then bring it back to the dragon cave in King's Landing. Where could there be a cub in the dragon cave in King's Landing now? On the upper floor? Could it be that a new dragon egg had hatched?

Korak continued to roar a few more times.

Korakshuu: Upper level. Cub starvation locked.

"I understand, old friend. You should take a rest first." Damon held Korakshu's dragon head for a while before watching Korakshu crawl back to the dragon's lair. The dragon breeder in charge of raising the giant dragon came up to the old prince with a puzzled look in his hand, holding a long staff and saying, "Your Majesty, is it really okay not to lock up the dragons?"

"Let's try first." Damon took a deep breath and patted the dragon breeder. "Thank you for your hard work. The front door is locked, but the back door can be opened. I have asked Korakxiu to inform the dragons in the dragon cave to forbid them from attacking the people. According to the experience of the Varese family, it should be effective. By the way, have any dragon eggs hatched recently?"

The dragon breeder shook his head. At least none of the dragon eggs from Syrax and Dreamfire that they had collected had hatched. Daemon was stunned. No dragons had hatched? Then why did Korakshuu tell him that a new cub had hatched? "Besides the dragon eggs you collected, who else's eggs in the dragon cave had not been petrified?"

"The other one is the dragon egg of Aegon the Usurper's son, Melar Sunfire." The dragon keeper thought for a moment and remembered a dragon egg stored in the upper layer. "But that dragon egg showed no signs of hatching."

Damon waved his hand to stop the dragon keeper's explanation: "Take me to see the dragon egg." The old prince quickly walked up the steps to the side door of the dragon's lair. Unlike the unfathomable cave that the dragon entered after crawling through the gate, Damon walked into the storage room on the upper level of the dragon's lair after crossing the long steps. Here were the dragon eggs collected by the dragon keeper. Under the guidance of the dragon keeper, Damon walked to the locked door of the storage room.

"Your Majesty, there are indeed strange noises here." A dragon guard in charge of guarding the storage room said, "But we went in to check and didn't find anything."

Damon instantly became alert, which meant that the hatched dragon must be very cunning. If Korakshuu did not pass on the wrong information, after all, the wisdom of the dragon was not high, and the information passed was not necessarily accurate. "Go, prepare a bucket of cooked meat." Damon ordered, and the dragon breeder hurriedly left to get the meat.

The old prince signaled the dragon guard to open the door of the storage room, and he walked in carefully. There were only a few flames in the dark storage room to provide light, and the entire storage room was full of petrified dragon eggs, as if something had been tossing around in it for a while, and these petrified dragon eggs rolled all over the floor.

"Come out, little one." Daemon said in High Valyrian. He seemed to be able to feel that his companions were looking for the cub, and a slightly sharp roar came from the depths of the dragon's lair.

Korakshuu: Cub. Come out to eat the food of the friendly and powerful people. Several petrified dragon eggs rolled away, revealing a green dragon lying on an empty dragon egg, licking the egg liquid. When the dragon saw Damon, it immediately bared its teeth and roared. But it was frightened by the roar deep in the dragon's cave and shrank back behind the dragon egg.

Damon finally had time to observe the appearance of this newborn dragon. The emerald green dragon folded its wings and stared fiercely at the old prince who came in with his back bent, but it was so hungry that it couldn't even spit out a puff of black smoke. This dragon had a crown of thorns that started from its eyes and extended over most of its body. Unlike the dorsal fin of "Dawn" of the Varese family, the green crown of thorns of this dragon was not as tall as the dorsal fin of "Dawn", but was relatively low, and had a strange and gloomy feeling. The dragon had a head with a curved lower jaw like a lizard lion, and the small dragon horns also extended from above the eyes and extended to the back of the head. This green dragon also had a long neck, but unlike Korakshu, its body and tail were very short, and its neck was not as slender and flexible as Korakshu's, but had huge diamond-shaped bone plate scales on it. When the dragon roared, you could see its long and forked tongue.

The dragon keeper came running over with a bucket of meat. Damon picked up a piece of meat and threw it over. The green dragon pounced on the meat in the blink of an eye and began to devour it.

After confirming that the dragon was indeed hatched, Daemon sighed and left the storage room. "Seven Hells!" The regent sighed and thought of more things. Strictly speaking, this dragon was Merlar's companion dragon. According to the tradition of the Targaryen family, Merlar was the future rider of this dragon, but Merlar was Aegon's son. After the Dance of the Dragons, Merlar was even stripped of his Targaryen surname. How could he still be qualified to train and ride dragons? But Daemon didn't know whether the companion dragon could only be tamed by the companion's child, and whether there would be problems if other people tamed it.

The Targaryens needed more dragons and more riders. Although the Vareses were close to the Targaryens now, no one could guarantee the future. The Targaryens were badly hurt in the Dance with the Dragons. The dragon thieves from Volantis were right. For the dragon kings, dragons were everything. The more dragons they had, the more power they had. The bigger the dragon, the more power they had.

Unfortunately, the Targaryen family has neither now. Daemon must think about the future. This green dragon must be kept, but it is difficult to decide who its rider will be.

After the Dance of the Dragons, Melar Sunblaze and Gaimund Hightower were both conferred by Dragonzir on the Isle of Greydread. This isolated island in the Dorne Sea, surrounded on three sides by the territory of the Vareses family, was originally the prison of the Martell family. The stone castle on the island once imprisoned many nobles with distinguished backgrounds. But now, the island has been divided into three parts.

The Cober family, a wealthy knight family from Dorne who made great contributions in the Dornish War, was granted the Grey Fort, which was once used as a prison, and the main land on the island. The tower castle "Overlook" on the east side of the island was granted to Germund Hightower as a reward for his restoration of order. The boy who killed his relatives with his own hands now locks himself up in the only tower in Overlook and never goes out, forcing the acting lord Harvard Cober, who is responsible for guarding him, to deliver food to the tower on a regular basis every day to prevent Germund Hightower from starving himself to death.

The tower "Kami-in Tower" on the west side of the island is the territory of the Yangyan family. Meral grew up slowly under the care of Hurd Cobb. The two small fishing villages around it provided the Shin-in Tower with sufficient fish, goat milk and eggs, but more supplies still relied on the mainland.

It can be said that without a ship or a dragon, Merar Yangyan will never be able to leave this island in his life.

Even if he had a dragon, he couldn't afford to raise it.

Therefore, this green dragon can only be raised by the royal family. Anyway, Meral has never tamed this dragon, and this dragon does not recognize Meral as a partner.

The Targaryens still have a chance to tame it.

Damon convinced himself and looked at the dragon keeper beside him: "What should we call this green dragon? Forget it, I'll raise it well after a while. When it can eat by itself, I'll put it in the dragon cave. Remember to send it to Korakshu's lair first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Second update, the green dragon in this update is also collecting names like the three steel swords in the previous chapter. Thank you all for participating.
