Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 299: The Covenant of Ice and Fire
Igor, who had just woken up from his sleep and whose clothes were slightly wrinkled, stood beside his sister a little stiffly. Daenerys' clothes were not very neat either, and it was obvious that she had just got up from bed. Compared to her brother who had not yet recovered from the shock brought by the dragon dream, Daenerys almost knew what her grandfather was going to do when she knew that her grandfather summoned her late at night.

Her relationship with Basilone Stark has been heating up rapidly recently. The young Stark is a taciturn person, which is just right for Daenerys's openness and unruly nature. The two of them actually sparked a love affair. Basilone voluntarily gave up his inheritance rights to Winterfell and is preparing to marry into the Varese family.

"Sister, why don't I see my brother-in-law?" Igor joked, suppressing his fatigue.

Daenerys chuckled, a rare moment. "It's none of his business, it's about the dragon, don't worry about the wolf's feelings."

"You are so cruel." Igor finally perked up and briefly told his sister about his dream.

"That makes sense. The reason my grandfather is looking for us is most likely related to Basilone." Daenerys was very clear about this matter.

"You're right." Rey pushed the door open calmly: "Come in, kids."

Longzel sat by the fireplace. There seemed to be more wrinkles on his face, and his silver hair had become a little darker, but overall it was hard to see any changes. However, the eyes of the two grandchildren changed almost at the same time, and Daenerys jumped directly to her grandfather.

Before he could say anything, he was held down by Longzel.

"It's just blood magic. It's not like we haven't seen it before." Longzel motioned for the two children to sit down. He glanced at the two children calmly and said, "I wonder if you are ready to accept an unknown history and the future that your offspring will face."

The two young men looked at each other and nodded silently.

Sebastian Varese also sat aside, and he wanted to record everything Longzel said.

"First of all, I want to tell you a secret history. Of course, it may not be the truth. It may also be our conjecture. After all, the time is too long." Longzel sighed and said, "If Brandon is old enough and has inherited the Green Prophet, he may be able to see more clearly, but now relying on Igor's dragon dream, we can only get a general direction. In the ancient times, which is what the Westeros people call the Dawn Age, humans have not yet walked out of the wilderness. The world was ruled by ancient races. They came from the first chapter of the great music of weaving the world, that is, the song of earth and water that shaped the earth and the sea. The dragon was born from the second moon in the sky, representing the power of the nascent Song of Fire, and the White Walkers, as a normal humanoid race at that time, lived on the ice cap in the far north. They represented the power of the nascent Song of Ice."

Longzel tells a long-lost story.

"Children of the forest, maze makers, lizardmen, shrikes with green scales, and snipers who travel through Mosuei. These ancient races have established civilizations all over the world. The oldest cities in the world, Kadash and Stya, were established during this period. They are the creations of the Song of the Earth and Water. As time goes by, humans gradually walk out of the wilderness. The Queen of the Silver Sea built huge cruise ships and water cities. The Emperor of Yidi obtained the blood of magic by blood fusion. His descendants used gems as their titles and established a powerful kingdom of dawn. The Ghiscari who worship the harpy also stepped onto the stage of history. These ancient humans migrated all the way west. After arriving in Westeros, their title was 'the first people'," "Grandpa, according to this statement, the water magic mastered by the ancient Loina people."

"The water magic of the Loyna people comes from the indigenous people of the Rhoyne River. The children of the Rhoyne River are represented by the old man in the river." Longzel admired Igor's ability to draw inferences from one example and handed his wine glass to his grandson. Igor drank his grandfather's wine without hesitation.

You can't usually drink the fine wines that Longzel usually drinks.

"Also from the fusion of blood, perhaps it was the attempt of the ancient humans to transplant magic into themselves that inspired the later Gem Emperors, or perhaps it was the decline of the ancient races that fueled the ambitions of the Gem Emperors. They set their sights on more magical races, the darlings of the earth and water. But they forgot one thing, that is, every piece of music has a beginning and an end. The song of earth and water that has lasted for countless years will eventually come to an end. The decline of the major ancient magical races proved this point. The maze makers disappeared, the Shrikes and the Winged People became legends that even the Yidi people could not understand. The Rhoyna people even regarded the Old Man in the River as a god. Kadash disappeared in the mist, and Stya became a city of death without sunlight. Ghost grass grew in the shadow land, and the dragons living in the volcanoes in the shadow land were forced to migrate."

He looked at his grandson and granddaughter: "Then you all saw it." Longzel sighed. "The fight between the Bloodstone Emperor and the Amethyst Queen was not simple. In fact, they conducted an experiment. The Gem Emperors saw the magical potential and long lifespan of the dragon. Perhaps because the magic in the blood was becoming thinner, or perhaps because of the desire for immortality, the Amethyst Queen reached a cooperation with her brother, the Bloodstone Emperor, who used blood magic to help his sister complete the experiment."

A sentence popped up in Igor and Daenerys' minds at the same time.

The experiment didn't seem to go as smoothly as they imagined.

"Yes, it was not smooth." Longzel stroked his beard: "I don't know if this is the truth, but through Igor's dragon dream, looking back at the history of our bloodline, it seems that the final result of the experiment was terrible. The Bloodstone Emperor was forced to kill his sister who had blended with the dragon bloodline, and the dragon fled the capital after destroying the palace of the Amethyst Queen. Then, the Bloodstone Emperor went crazy. He seemed to have a premonition that he and his sister had caused a disaster, so he chose a completely new choice. He worshiped the stars in the sky and worshipped the black oil stone that fell from the sky as an idol, but unfortunately, it was too late. The Song of Ice and Fire began, and the first long night eight thousand years ago came with it."

Longzel looked at his granddaughter and said, "This is why I accepted Stark's son-in-law. The Stark family has the blood of the real White Walkers in their veins. Of course, they didn't have such a scary name at that time. According to the prophecy, the next hero to solve the Long Night will be the prince born in the land of smoke and salt. His song will be a song of ice and fire, so we signed a covenant and introduced the blood that meets the conditions of a song of ice and fire."

He looked at the siblings and said, "So, do you two understand what I mean?"

The brother and sister looked at each other tacitly. Igor was a little embarrassed, but Daenerys laughed.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we understand."
