"Four dragons?" Old Yimont was shocked.
Danny lifted her cloak, took out the warm red dragon egg from her pocket, and smiled at the old man, "The other two help me guard Slaver's Bay, and soon, there will be five."
"This …" The old man looked at the dragon egg covered with fine red scales and was shocked beyond words.
"It's about to be born?" Yimont's voice was dry.
"About a week."
"So fast?" Barristan on the side was surprised, "The last golden dragon egg was nearly ten months old. This time, the dragon egg is hatched in less than 20 days?"
"We have to wait for ten months?" Old Yimont smiled bitterly, "Igo directly took the dragon egg and put it into the wildfire without delay."
Well, Yimont's younger brother Igo, Aegon the Fifth, Danny and Rize's grandfather, was the perpetrator of the Midsummer Hall tragedy.
Igo prepared seven dragon eggs, a number of seven gods, alchemists (fire wizards), and a large number of wildfire jars to hatch the dragon in the Midsummer Hall.
What exactly happened at that time, even Xuecheng didn't figure out. Some doctors thought that there was a rebellion, and some history doctors characterized it as a wildfire out of control.
In short, except for the loss of the seven precious dragon eggs, Igo, his eldest son, and eldest daughter-in-law (Prince Long Fu Lai and Jenny of the Barren Stone City) all died in the fire.
Coincidentally, on the day of the tragic death of the first generation's man was the day of the birth of the second generation's man, Rega.
That's right, Rega was born on the night of the fire in the Midsummer Hall, and he was even born in the Midsummer Hall. Queen Leila also participated in the dragon hatching ceremony.
Even more coincidentally, not long after the death of the second generation Rega, the third generation's man, Robb, was born.
Are they having a relay race?
Or, like the reincarnation of Indra and Asura's Chakra, the "soul of the violation of the sacred marriage contract" is also constantly reincarnating?
Then, who can take over as the "fourth generation's man?"
Well, the man who broke off the engagement must have a prominent background, at least at the level of the seven great dukes.
The Northern Pass, the Targaryen Pass (Danny Lys was born before Robb's death), the Hejian Pass … Wait, it seems that Eide Mor Tully (Lord of Riverrun, Duke of Hejian, Robb's uncle, currently imprisoned in Casterly Rock by Jaime) just happened to give birth to a son after Robb's death, this …
Shaking her head, Danny threw away these strange thoughts and said, "The previous four dragon eggs all came from Asha. They were all fossilized eggs. This red egg once belonged to Targaryen. It was a dragon egg that was lost two and a half centuries ago. The embryo inside is still partially alive."
While Eamon was deep in thought, she asked again, "Old Master, do you know how the Braavosi obtained this dragon egg?"
"Braavos?"
"Yes, they are planning to give the dragon eggs to the Volantis people, which means that Braavos must have more than one egg."
"Two and a half centuries ago?" Old Yimont pondered.
"That Braavosi person said it himself."
"I see, I understand now!"
The wind blew snowflakes in front of the door. The old scholar could not help but tremble as he pulled the cloak on his shoulders. Danny immediately got up from the stone steps and led the old man to the fireplace in the King's Tower.
After drinking the warm milk that Barristan handed over, the old scholar sighed and said, "Sigh, I am old now. Back then, I was immersed in stargazing on the Great Wall. I did not even realize that a night had passed."
"Do you know Princess Renia?"
"Uh, there are many people named Renia. Which one are you talking about?"
"The granddaughter of Aegon the Conqueror, the eldest daughter of Aerys the First, and the elder sister of the King of Renia, Jaehris the First."
"So it is her …" Danny suddenly understood.
Renia was also a legendary (weird) princess, a fanatic social butterfly. The number of husbands, bestie, and friends she had was staggering.
"Princess Renia had a good friend named Eliza from the Farman family on Fairy Island. The two of them were very close, but Eliza loved sailing and hoped to become a navigator to explore the Sunset Sea. However, Princess Renia was unwilling to let her leave, thinking that it would tear their relationship apart.
Not long after, Eliza chose to leave. Before she left, she stole three dragon eggs from Princess Renia.
Now that I think about it, Miss Eliza must have sold the dragon eggs to the Braavosi and used the money to buy a ship to explore the Sunset Sea.
At that time, His Majesty Jaehris even secretly mobilized all forces, waiting for any force other than the Targaryen Family to hatch a dragon before he immediately launched the War of Dragons.
This matter was even recorded in the Targaryen Family History in the royal library. After Jaehris the First, a few kings had been wary of this matter. "
The old man let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly. "As expected, what will come will come. After waiting for two hundred and fifty years, Your Majesty has finally arrived."
"Three dragon eggs in exchange for a ship, there is nothing more extravagant than this." Danny's eyes flashed and she sneered. "I am afraid that Eliza was also used by someone. The Braavosi's desire for dragons is beyond your imagination.
In the City of Knowledge, I met a Faceless One who came to the Westeros at least three years ago. At that time, I had not even hatched a dragon yet!
That guy stole the key of the Head Doctor and sneaked into the City of Knowledge's library to look for information related to dragons, especially information related to hatching dragons.
I even suspect that he had already explored the Alchemist Guild and the royal library. "
"This …" Old Yimont's face wrinkled and he said worriedly, "Even a Faceless One was involved. The Braavosi were determined to get it!
I guessed that everyone in the world had a desire for dragons, but I did not expect that the Braavosi had already made their move two hundred years ago. At that time, the Targaryens had more than a dozen dragons! "
Danny shook her head and sighed. "It was probably because the Targaryens had hatched Megalosaurus one after another. In just a few decades, they had multiplied from three Megalosaurus to eighteen Megalosaurus.
I can even understand their concerns. Not to mention eighteen Megalosaurus, as long as half of the Megalosaurus formed a team of dragon knights, it would be enough to wipe out the Nine Free Trade City-States and restore Valleglia's heyday when it dominated the world.
Only the Megalosaurus can deal with the Megalosaurus. It is not surprising that the Braavosi made the first move. It is very wise and decisive. "
"We have never thought of ruling the world …" Old Yimont mumbled.
"This is' if you do not take what is given, you will be punished. '"
Danny smiled bitterly and asked the old scholar, "I have always had a question. For a mere Iron Throne, the Targaryens did not hesitate to launch the Dance of the Blood Dragons.
But why did those stupid ancestors never think of riding the dragons to the neighboring continent of Ursos to take over a piece of land and build their own Iron Throne? "
"I don't know. Maybe we have been assimilated into this continent and have completely regarded ourselves as Westeros, unwilling to leave our homeland." The old man looked at Danny meaningfully. "They are different from you. You have been wandering around since you were young. I am afraid you do not have such deep feelings for the Red Keep, the King's Landing, and the Seven Kingdoms."
"This is not a matter of deep feelings." Danny shook her head. "For the family, the Iron Throne can only support three dragons at most, one for the king and one for the queen, and another for the crown prince.
If the extra Megalosaurus is not exported, it will inevitably lead to internal friction. On the contrary, if the Targaryens are allowed to spread throughout the world, even if usurpers inevitably occur, the Targaryens will not have to bear the threat of extinction.
For the Westeros themselves, the less games there are for the Iron Throne, the better. The Targaryens and the Seven Dukes are having fun, but the people are the ones who suffer. Look at the tragic state of the Seven Kingdoms after the Rebellion of the Four Princes. "
"Danny Rize, you are wiser and more benevolent than us, than the Targaryens of the past. As powerful players, they simply do not see the lowly commoners in the mud."
Old Yimont looked at Danny with a complicated expression. There was relief, sadness, and also longing for the future.
"Dong dong dong …" Jon's voice came from outside the door. "Master Yimont, Your Majesty, a messenger crow has flown in from the Shadow Tower."
Barristan got up from the wooden chair with a fur cushion, opened the oak door, and welcomed Jon in with a thin layer of snow on his head.
"You're still keeping watch at the door?" the white knight asked.
Jon stood at the door and shook off the white snow on his black wool cloak. He said casually, "I'm not lonely with two dragons accompanying me. Most people can't even see a real dragon even if they want to!"
Barristan looked at him strangely. "You're brave. You saw the Megalosaurus burning the barbarians in the afternoon, and now you're not afraid at all."
Jon smiled and did not say that not only was he not afraid, but he was also excited. He walked straight to the fireplace and handed a scroll as thick as a thumb to Scholar Yimont.
The old scholar opened it and read for a while. He frowned and said, "Commander Bowen Maxi encountered a group of three hundred barbarians led by the Weeper at the Skull Bridge. Although the enemy was defeated, we lost more than a hundred brothers. The commander was seriously injured and is receiving treatment in the Shadow Tower."
Bowen Maxi was originally the chief affairs officer of the Night Watchers. When Elder Bear passed away and the new commander of the Night Watchers was chosen, he was appointed as the acting commander.
"Where is the Skull Bridge?" Danny asked with a frown.
"The Grand Canyon beyond the Great Wall."
"We fell into a trap, didn't we? The main force was transferred away from Dark Castle, giving up the advantageous terrain of the Great Wall to fight the barbarians outside the Great Wall … "Danny sighed.
"Yes, Mansred sent small groups of enemies to harass the Great Wall at the east and west ends. To prevent the barbarians from crossing the Great Wall and entering the North, Commander Maxi had no choice but to clear the barbarians near the Great Wall.
The Great Wall is too long and the Night Watchers are too few. It's impossible to monitor the entire 500-kilometer area. According to the usual practice, it's better to take the initiative than to defend passively, "the old scholar explained.
"Haha, since you know that the King of Savages is Mansred and that Mansred is familiar with all the fighting habits of the Night Watchers, why do you still follow the old rules?
If it wasn't for Broken Palm Colin being smart enough, if it wasn't for Jon Snow being loyal enough, if it wasn't for Yergret's love for him …
If it wasn't for these almost unrepeatable accidents happening at the same time, the barbarians would have crossed the Great Wall and swept through the North. "Danny shook her head and smiled.
In her eyes, the offensive and defensive battle between Mansred and the Night Watchers was like a chicken pecking at chickens.
Starting from Old Mormont, the Night Watchers had made a few fatal mistakes. Mansred had a powerful source of soldiers, but he was unable to create a regular army with basic military training.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Mansred's intelligence.
His situation was very similar to that of the original Danny Rize. He was a child of a savage who was adopted by the Night Watchers and raised as a ranger from a young age. He had never received any formal military education.
Yes, the Night Watchers only trained soldiers, and their officers were all from noble families of the Seven Kingdoms.
