Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord.

Chapter 146 The Young Generation of Dragon Riders

a few days later.

In the river valley, the weather is fine.

Raven Ridge is a barren land with thousands of laborers digging for coal.

Along the river valley road for dozens of miles, Green Ridge dug large and small pits and planted pine and cypress seedlings in the soil.

Long Lake.

Black swans play in the water in groups, catching fish and shrimp in the turquoise lake.

Large tracts of land were reclaimed nearby, and farmers were bending over to till the fields and sow spring seeds.

On the west side of Changhu Lake, a pier was built protruding from the waterside.

The River Valley Town is located here, with two high white walls like two inverted ocean bowls.

"Roar——"

A huge dark green monster was crawling against the wall, its broad back extending beyond the battlements, and a low roar like thunder came out of its throat.

It was very annoyed and shook its head impatiently.

"Silence, Vhagar."

Lanaar spoke to comfort him.

Vhagar fell to his knees, his drooping chin resting on the grass, hot air gushing out of his nostrils.

Lannar's eyes were gentle and helpless, and she reached out to rub the rough scales.

Vhagar is not only old and big in size, but also has a bad temper.

Like a grumpy old grandmother, she needs the younger generation to coax her with care.

"Roar!!"

Vhagar's vertical pupils were filled with arrogance, and he slowly closed his heavy eyelids.

……

Lonely mountain.

Halfway up the mountain, deep in the dragon's nest.

The dark cave was filled with lumps of sticky dragon dung, emitting a foul stench mixed with sulfur.

Aemon frowned and walked around the dragon shit.

The entrance to the cave is wide, and the melted rock has re-solidified into plasticity, absorbing the warm light from the outside world.

Ring!

In Aemon's hand, he held a bronze bell.

Above the dragon's nest, a ray of light shines from the top onto a piece of soil, illuminating the bronze sacred tree that looks like an ornament.

"After more than a year, the second bronze bell was produced."

Aemon breathed.

The bronze sacred tree has three branches, with a bronze plate, a bronze bird and a bronze bell hung on them respectively.

Each branch has three bronze leaves with lifelike veins.

The last time the bronze bell "matured" and fell off, only leaves were left on one branch of the bronze sacred tree.

I came back to check it out today and found that the bronze bells had grown back and were “ripe” enough to be picked.

The bronze bell did not ring, as Aemon took it on his own initiative.

"The bronze sacred tree is indeed extraordinary. It reminded me specifically last time."

Aemon stroked his chin, thinking that this was very profound.

Let’s make a premise that the bronze sacred tree has a “spirit”.

To be more precise, there is an "instinctive reaction" of organisms.

That is the need for growth.

Give him a bronze bell to show his worth.

"What does the bronze sacred tree eat?"

Aemon stood at the mouth of the cave, peering down at the city below.

From the hints in the dream, it is not difficult to guess that it is about faith.

Bronze faith, feed the bronze sacred tree.

At this moment.

The Hegu Town is divided into four urban areas from east to west, south to north.

Shops appeared on the streets.

In places with heavy traffic, there are dragon statues carved from black dragon stone.

In order to strengthen the residents of River Valley Town's awe of dragons, His Royal Highness the Prince specially placed these dragon-shaped stone sculptures.

As for the lost dragon stone craft, where did the dragon stone statues come from?

Of course it was moved from the Stone Drum Tower on Dragonstone Island.

Dragonstone is Rhaenyra's fiefdom.

What belongs to Rainiera is His Royal Highness's thing.

"Bronze faith, something from our ancestors."

Imon smacked his lips and said, "Why do I feel like I am being made into a charlatan to trick my subjects into believing in God?"

It is impossible to believe in only one god.

Since you can't be loyal, then just be a scumbag.

After a while, bring old Sister Martha from Runestone City and build a Temple of the Seven Gods.

There were many empty side halls and auxiliary halls in the Valley City, so the skull of Meraxes was moved in and enshrined in imitation of Balerion's skull.

Let the people of the Huaquan clan and the Huojiang clan spread the word so that the mountain clans in the territory will not forget their faith in bronze.

A stew, a hodgepodge.

Isn't this how the dragonlords played in the days of old Valyria?

Yimeng turned and stared at the bronze sacred tree, thinking: "I've given you a chance, don't waste it."

The bronze bell contains magic and is a special material.

The faith of the people under your command increases, and the bronze sacred tree produces more bronze bells.

The more materials he had for his blacksmithing, the better.

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, a light silver dragon shadow streaked across the blue sky, and a loud roar echoed.

Yimeng looked out and said, "The sea smoke is quite beautiful."

time to go.

I’ll come again next time, and I hope the bronze sacred tree can grow taller.

The bronze bird and the bronze disc are somewhat useful.

……

River Valley City.

"Hiss!"

Haiyan slowly landed on the ground, and its pair of broad wings folded, stirring up a gust of wind.

A dragon's appearance changes as it ages.

Haiyan was about twenty years old, the first of four generations of dragons to hatch.

The whole body is covered with light silver scales, and the dorsal fin and wing membranes are silvery white, sparkling brightly in the sun.

The dragon head is very domineering, with three pairs of gray-white horns bending backwards.

With a body length of over twenty meters, it can be called a giant dragon.

"Lannino!"

Lanar came from the Hall of Plenty in the back.

boom!
Lanino jumped off the dragon's back, his silver-gold curly hair trembling slightly.

"Hiss!"

Haiyan crawled down and pressed her long neck downward.

Joffrey, Lannino's gay lover, turned pale and climbed down the dragon's back tremblingly.

"You brought someone with you?"

Lanar said unhappily.

"Good afternoon, Miss Lanner."

Joffrey tried not to spit, but covered his mouth as he greeted.

Faced with his sister's questioning, Lannino's handsome face showed embarrassment and he scratched his head foolishly.

"Hiss!!"

A giant topaz-colored dragon flew in from afar, its majestic body crashed through several white clouds, and landed fiercely and quickly.

boom--

The huge body fell to the ground, and its smooth scales looked like gold foil in the sunlight.

"Go and play."

Rhaenyra, dressed in a black dragon riding suit, jumped off the dragon's back and bit off her leather gloves with a smile.

"Hiss~~"

Syrax's vertical pupils flashed with intimacy, and it followed its driver like a big dog, with its thick dragon tail swaying back and forth.

Rhaenyra smiled even more beautifully, and her steps became lighter.

During the half-year long search and suppression of bandits, the man and the dragon fought side by side, and their feelings for each other improved rapidly.

Syrax escaped from the confinement of the dragon's lair and grew rapidly.

It is over 17 or 18 meters long and can eat a whole valley sheep in one bite.

"your Highness."

Lanino licked his face and greeted respectfully.

Rhaenyra rolled her eyes and ignored him.

Damn Nantong, go away!

……

The next day.

In the early morning, the sky was filled with mist.

boom--

The cool mist was violently torn apart as a huge monster rushed forward, rushing up to a height of thousands of meters.

The bronze scales sparkled in the morning sun.

Aemon sat on the dragon's back and took a deep breath.

"Roar!!"

Womisol's bronze vertical pupils were cold, his sturdy body swayed gently, and from time to time he stretched out a pair of huge brown dragon wings to speed up.

As it appeared, a shadow shrouded the lonely mountain.

But it soon flew away, towards the Eyrie in the Vale of Arryn.

boom--

At the foot of Lonely Mountain, Vhagar took off into the air and slowly flew over the towering mountains.

His body was like an oasis mountain, carrying an unstoppable sense of oppression.

Two adult dragons stand one in front and one behind, comparing the difference in their sizes.

Vhagar was over 130 meters long, with a pair of broad wings with holes in them that blocked out the sun. When chasing, he raised his head and dived into the clouds.

"Hiss-"

Womisol glanced down arrogantly and maintained his pace at a leisurely pace.

Its body length is over 100 meters, and vaguely reaches 110 meters.

His body is more muscular, with bronze scales shining with metallic luster and covering his tight muscles.

Compared to the slightly old Vaghar, he looks like a young man in his prime.

"Hurry up, Vermithor."

Aemon patted the dragon's back, a smile on his face.

He received an invitation to the Eagle's Nest.

Mother Leia set out early and now has reached the blood gate.

Brought a lot of guards.

Gunthor led 300 Vale knights, and Holden Redford of the Red Fort led 100 Vale knights. Black Rose Hall was built to replace the burned Iron Oak Castle.

It's just right for me to come here to ask for an explanation.

Horton went to see his sister and try to arrange a marriage for her.

The temptation to marry a duchess of a territory is great.

……

It's approaching noon.

The sun is shining brightly, and the sunlight is particularly dazzling.

Blood Gate.

The Royce family's team arrived and was granted permission to pass after being questioned by the Blood Gate Knights.

Lady Rhea rode a fiery red warhorse and walked ahead of the vassals.

She is not the type to go out and visit friends.

However, Lady Jenny was interested in finding a man, and as the most powerful vassal under the Arryn family, the Royce family had to be present.

"Hope everything goes well and nothing gets into trouble."

Lady Rhea pulled the reins and looked around.

"Cousin, we are almost at the Moon Gate Keep."

Jello Royce rode up on horseback, smiling what he thought was a charming smile.

"Use your honorific title to me, cousin."

Madam Leia glanced at him with a hint of disdain.

If you have been cold-tempered for a long time, you will look at people as if you are looking at a dog.

Jello was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "Yes, Madam Leia."

"And one more thing."

Madam Leia retracted her gaze and said calmly, "I'm not blind."

Jello: ...

I felt so ashamed that I tried to find a crack in the ground to hide in to avoid the spotlight.

Gunthor, William, Sir Ryan and others were hanging at the back, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Madam Leia had a blank expression on her face as she glanced back.

They all straightened their backs and pretended to be serious.

Madam Leia snorted coldly and looked up at the sky.

She had a feeling that this trip to Eagle's Nest would not be that simple.

Have full confidence in your son.

boom--

Just then, a strong wind blew and a shadow covered the earth.

The Blood Gate Knight looked up and his eyes suddenly widened.

Two giant dragons over a hundred meters long took off from the clouds and flew over the Blood Gate that had stood for thousands of years.

"Hiss!"

"Hiss..."

Before I could calm down, two giant dragons flew over from afar again.

One is topaz color and the other is light silver.

They were chasing each other as if they were competing with each other, and ignored the bloody gate in the cliff.

"Gods above!"

The Blood Gate Knight couldn't help but sigh and almost dropped his jaw.

……

"Lift off, Vermithor!"

Aemon pulled the saddle rope and steered the dragon higher and higher.

After passing the Bloody Gate, the path to Eagle's Nest is narrow and steep, all the way to the top of the Moon Mountains.

Along the way, there are Moon Gate Castle, Dangerous Stone Castle, Snow Mountain Castle, and Long Sky Castle.

"That's the Gates of the Moon, isn't it?"

Aemon leaned half of his body out and saw a majestic castle built against the mountain.

The Gates of the Moon was once the original stronghold of House Arryn.

It was later abandoned and the more dangerous Eagle's Nest was built.

But the Gates of the Moon still belonged to the Arryn family, and they sent people from other branches to guard it.

When winter comes, the Arryn family of the Eyrie will move to the Gates of the Moon to avoid the cold.

"Hiss-"

With a roar, Womisoar raised his head and rushed up the Giant's Spear thousands of feet high, circling to the top of the Bright Moon Mountains.

It sounds high, the altitude is about 1,500 meters.

For an adult dragon, it is just the most normal flying altitude.

——Eyrie City
It consists of a cluster of seven slender white towers closely connected, and the city walls are built of gorgeous white marble.

It really has the spirit of an eagle building its nest on the mountain top.

boom--

Womisoel landed with a bang and crashed into the back garden of Eagle's Nest.

Aemon untied the chain around his waist and shivered in the cold wind.

It was not about imitating Queen Visenya who landed in the back garden and shocked the "orphans and widows" of the Eyrie.

The Eagle's Nest is really too small.

Not to mention the castles of the guardian families of the Seven Realms such as Highgarden and Casterly Rock, even the castles of ordinary nobles cover a larger area than the Eyrie.

The Duke's castle is so magnificent, but its area is so small.

There are seven towers in total, accommodating up to 500 people.

Not as good as a main hall in River Valley City.

"Roar!!"

Womisol snorted heavily, and the hot air blew onto the flower beds, causing large areas of flowers and plants to dry up and wilt.

"Don't cause trouble!"

Yimon slapped his forehead, feeling a terrible headache.

These are all the flowers and plants they have, and you destroyed them all in one go.

Womisoel glanced at the rider, waited for him to climb down from the dragon's back, and flapped his broad brown wings into the air.

It’s impossible not to leave.

"Land, Vhagar!"

Lannar arrived shortly afterwards and landed the old dragon at the same location.

The back garden is not small, but there is no open space.

"Hiss..."

Syrax and Haiyan flapped their wings hard and chose a suitable place to land.

The two young dragons were small in size and could lie down at the base of the wall.

"This is the Eagle's Nest. This is my first time here."

Lannino smiled and looked around with curiosity.

Aemon shrugged, indicating that it was his first time here as well.

“Although I’ve been here twice, I’m still amazed by how steep the Eagle’s Nest is.”

Rhaenyra breathed softly, feeling exhausted.

The Eagle's Nest stands on a mountain top at an altitude of 1,500 meters, which is higher than the altitude at which Syrax usually flies.

The human body won’t be able to handle it.

Aemon offered her a hand and looked back at Lanaar.

Lannar shook her head, there was no such situation.

She had long been accustomed to the pressure of heights.

Yimon smiled helplessly and thought secretly.

Every time something big happens in Westeros, the Arryn family is in the state of "orphans and widows", and they just do nothing the whole time.

Could it be that Eagle's Nest City was built too high and suffered from altitude sickness?

……

Less than half an hour.

Jenny Arryn led her people to the back garden and saw three curled-up dragons in the distance.

Aemon and the others stayed at a stone table.

All four of them have silver hair and purple eyes, exuding a noble temperament.

"your Highness."

Jenny walked over slowly, lifting her skirt slightly as she bowed.

"You're welcome, cousin."

Rhaenyra smiled slightly. The two of them were related by blood in a roundabout way.

Jenny's father is Queen Emma's half-brother.

Jenny's grandfather is Rhaenyra's maternal grandfather.

"Welcome to the Eyrie. It is an honor for House Arryn."

Jenny was very polite and then greeted Eamon.

Lannar and her brother are not princesses or princes, so they should take the initiative to greet the Duchess.

Jenny responded one by one with a formal smile on her face.

Invite everyone to enter the main tower.

Aemon was a man of many thoughts.

I had only had a quick glimpse of her before, but today I officially met Jenny Alleyn.

The first impression was not good.

Jenny has a good appearance. Apart from her high cheekbones and thin lips, she is an 80-point classical beauty overall.

But her brown eyes were filled with hostility and vigilance.

It was better when looking at Rhaenyra, with the soft colors of her cousins.

It's not okay to look at other people.

Especially when he met and looked at Eamon, he wanted to strip him naked and look at him as if he was looking at some extremely evil criminal.

"You're really good at reading people!"

Eamon was furious.

……

Maiden's Tower.

The easternmost White Tower houses a hall for entertaining guests and discussing important matters.

Aemon was at the door, instructing the guards of the Eyrie: "My mother is at the foot of the mountain and will come up soon."

"Don't worry, Prince. I will send someone to greet you."

Jenny walked in front and responded faintly when she heard the voice.

Aemon thanked him and looked around.

He said this to Jenny, looking for a guard simply because he couldn't stand his cold temperament.

No wonder Damon has a foul mouth.

Valley women are indeed sometimes unpleasant.

boom!
The wooden door closed and the temperature rose instantly.

The hall was filled with people, all of them were nobles of the valley, and the place was bustling with noise.

The sound stopped abruptly as Aemon walked in.

Hundreds of valley nobles sat on the benches and all looked over at the same time, staring at the majestic-looking Prince.

There is observation and scrutiny.

There is more rejection, resistance, and even undisguised hostility.
