Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 165: The Cellar of the Hidden Sword Tower
Dragon's Nest City, Silver Blood Tower, Small Library.

Ringol looked angrily at Longzel who was reading a book slowly. He was already nine years old and had grown into a handsome boy. He inherited his father's pure silver hair, dark purple eyes, and tall and thin body. At first glance, he was a smaller version of Longzel. However, he also inherited his mother Diana's slightly soft appearance. In order to prevent anyone from mistaking him for a girl (although no one has ever thought so), Ringol shaved his hair short.

"Father, are you just going to let Queen Mother Baelor do this?" Ringol sat next to his father. Although he respected these elders, he would also point out their ridiculous behavior without mercy, which made him bear the reputation of being mean and old-fashioned at a young age. However, Ringol himself did not feel bad about this evaluation, but was proud of it. "It was comfortable for her to leave on her dragon without saying a word, but Aegon and the others had to work hard to learn how to govern the kingdom. Viserys was willing to sell his marriage for profit."

Seeing Longzel still looking at the book, Lingol became anxious: "Father."

"I'm listening, Ringol." Longzel put the book next to him and sighed in his heart. This child is good in everything, whether it is ability, learning speed, or even martial arts. He is a replica of himself except that he can't use magic. But he is too stubborn. To be honest, this is not a bad thing. The Varese family needs such an heir. He may not be praised by bards, nor will he be as loved as himself, but he will definitely be a true leader respected by everyone.

"Do you know what Benilla is going to do?"

Lingol shook his head, then realized something, stood up and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, father, I made a mistake again. I shouldn't have questioned Queen Mother Benilla's behavior immediately because of her performance. I should have understood everything before making a judgment."

You see, this is the beginning of self-reflection.

Longzel pushed open the window beside the seat and looked at the setting sun: "Benilla knows that she is not suitable to be a traditional queen mother, Ringol. Court life is a torture for her, and after seeing what Xiaojie did, ordinary men can no longer impress her. She can't help Aegon rule the kingdom, nor can she fulfill her duties as a royal woman." Longzel suddenly stopped talking.

"Lingol, if one day your sister or child encounters this situation, what will you do?"

"I will protect her and let her live according to her own wishes." Ringol said without hesitation: "I have Star Song, so I am not afraid of the threats from mortals. Our family also has Dragon Nest, Silver Crown, Wine Harbor, and Midsummer Hall. We have enough places to accommodate our family."

After saying this, the boy was suddenly stunned. He realized that if he was right, Benila had no fault, and this was not in line with the education he had received.

In the tradition of Westeros, noble women have only three duties: to marry into a family, to take care of the family for their husbands, and to fight strangers on the delivery bed to give birth to offspring for their husbands or their own families.

The boy didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Benila has a dragon." Longzel sighed: "It must be said that the dragon is the source of our strength and confidence. With the dragon, Benila has the idea of ​​flying around the world. Child, do you know what Benila wants to do?"

Lingol shook his head in confusion. He really didn't know what Benila wanted to do.

"She wants to fly to unexplored places in Essos and Sothoryos." Longzier suddenly smiled. "She is very naive. This world is very big. There are too many places that even the dragon kings of ancient Valyria who master sorcery dare not easily set foot in. But she is also very brave. If she really succeeds and sends the information she has discovered back to Westeros, then she will achieve greater achievements than Corlys Velaryon."

Speaking of Sea Serpent, this great navigator who completed nine great voyages has indeed made great achievements. He completely opened up the traditional Summer Sea route, proving that if there are sufficient supplies, the ships of Westeros can sail all the way east to the end of the world: the magical city of Asshai. Now the merchant ships of the Silver Fleet also follow this route, continuously transporting goods produced by the princes of the borderlands and commodities from the East Continent.

"That requires her to send the information back." Ringo muttered, but when he thought about what Benila was going to do, the boy suddenly found that he was actually a little yearning for it.

No, Lingol, you have to calm down. You will be the one who takes over your father's responsibilities in the future. You have to remember that you also have family responsibilities.

The boy tried hard to regain his heart. He nodded vigorously to his father. "I understand, father. I will work harder."

"Alright, alright." Longzel grabbed his son's hair. "Come with me. There are some things I need to tell you, kid."

"what?"

Lingol continued to follow his father out of the small library with a confused look on his face.

Dragon's Nest is very large, and it takes a lot of time to go through different towers. In order to save time, Longzel asked the craftsmen to install a lot of elevators in the castle. Some narrow places could not be equipped with elevators, so they could only use ropes to hang baskets to speed up the going up and down.

Otherwise, just walking from the Silver Blood Tower to the Hidden Sword Tower would take the father and son an entire afternoon.

"The cellar of the Sword Tower?" Lingol was a little confused as to why his father brought him here, because this was where the Varese family stored the spoils of war. It collected countless spoils seized by the Varese family since his father Cleolius established the Silver Blood Army.

There are Dothraki braids and bells, as well as their looted crafts, the banners of countless unfortunate mercenary groups, and skulls inlaid with silver. Of course, there are more spoils and heads of those losers in the conquest of Dorne, and many things seized in the Dance of the Dragons. The head of Mond Hightower is also here, but the skin and flesh have been boiled and inlaid with silver.

But the most eye-catching thing is the huge dragon skull.

Not one, but three.

The large dragon skull was big enough for a horse to fit in. The smaller dragon skulls looked a bit like birds. The smallest dragon skull was obviously very young. Ringol measured the size and found that it was slightly smaller than his own Xingge.

He's not afraid of skulls or anything like that.

I have Star Song, do you defeated enemies want to taste the dragon flame again? This is what Lingol thought when he faced the skulls of these enemies.

But he was still shocked by the three giant dragon skulls.

"Vhagar, Yangyan." Longzier walked behind his son and glanced at the smallest skull. "Tesserion, um, Vermithor and I killed two of them."

He held his son's shoulders.

"Ringol, do you know what I want to tell you?"
