Chapter 115: Dragon Dreams

After opening the door, the tamed Viserys retreated step by step with his head lowered.

Joffrey stepped into the room alone.

Inside the exquisite, small, and warmly decorated bedroom, Daenerys was quietly curled up on the bed, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The girl breathed in and out, and the lace nightgown draped over her rose and fell rhythmically.

As she inhaled deeply, her chest stretched the nightgown taut, revealing her fair skin without concealment, and as she exhaled slowly, the thin nightgown gradually emerged from the shadows, covering the delicate spring scenery from before.

Her tranquil and graceful sleeping posture, slightly disheveled silver hair, paired with that shy, melancholic, and endearing delicate face...

What a beautiful sleeping beauty.

It made people want to carefully cherish and quietly watch over her, yet also couldn't help but want to ruthlessly ravage her.

Joffrey walked gently to the head of the bed.

After admiring her for a moment, he reached out his right hand and pressed it on a milky white sphere.

So warm, the dragon egg.

He felt the heat and vitality coming from within the dragon egg.

It was alive, it was growing.

Joffrey saw the changes in the dragon egg. Its shell had a faint layer of red light, the radiance of fire magic.

The originally restrained and hidden fire runes were devouring source energy from an unknown origin, using it to transform into specks of fire magic energy, seemingly preparing for the birth of the magic dragon, or perhaps it was simply as it should be.

Besides this milky white dragon egg with golden stripes, the other two were also here.

The state of the pitch-black dragon egg was similar to that of the milky white one.

The deep green bronze dragon egg seemed even more vibrant. Tyrion had held it to sleep and named it "Wildfire."

Wildfire, the masterpiece of the pyromancers of the Alchemist's Guild, a green flammable liquid that could burn flesh and steel to ashes, even burning on the surface of water, resembling dragonflame.

Having experienced so much, Tyrion already completely believed that the dragon eggs would hatch.

Joffrey, however, understood that he still needed to wait patiently.

Before this, he had tried many ways to hatch the dragon eggs.

Providing the dragon eggs with the best environment: an ever-burning flame, crystals full of source energy, and rich growth magic energy and fire magic energy.

The dragon eggs did not move.

He then placed the dragon egg in front of him and created new runes. Unlike other magical tools, the rune energy in the dragon egg was not triggered.

That is to say, it was indeed not an unconscious dead object, but a living being that could control rune energy from leaking out.

He tried to forge a contract with contract runes, but the dragon egg did not respond.

Thinking of the means to control the great lion Rain, he imprinted mirror images of fire, growth, and contract runes on the dragon egg, but the rune mirror images remained on the outer shell and did not integrate into the tiny life within the eggshell.

The research department even held blood sacrifices several times, one life, ten lives, a hundred lives, various races, different identities.

The dragon eggs remained unmoved, and the revival of the runes was still slow and peaceful.

Although the dragon eggs were indeed alive and growing.

But when did it plan to be born?

Fire, blood, magic, the objective environment had already been made the best, what other conditions did it need?

Familiar aura, Valyrian bloodline?

It was precisely out of this conjecture that Joffrey sent all three dragon eggs to Daenerys' side and even had her preside over the blood sacrifice, offering sacrifices with Valyrian blood.

But the effect did not meet expectations.

The dragon eggs did have some changes, the runes were more active, and they felt warmer to the touch, but there was still no sign of hatching.

Having eliminated one wrong answer after another, Joffrey had to pay attention to the only remaining singularity—the red comet.

In the original work, Daenerys held a ceremony under the red comet that streaked across the sky, exchanging fire, blood, and souls for the birth of the magic dragon.

The whole process was simple to the point of being crude.

She didn't know special spells, nor did she have strange treasures, she just walked into the flames and brought out three young dragons.

Red comet. Joffrey stroked the fine scales on the dragon egg, sinking into deep thought.

In the era of King Aegon the Dragon, the survival and reproduction of dragons were very normal, not much different from other creatures, and many dragon eggs could hatch.

Later on, the Targaryen dragons not only killed each other, but the young dragons that were born became fewer and fewer, their bodies gradually shrinking, until they were deformed and weak, dying just after birth, and finally no dragon eggs hatched successfully.

Finally, as the dragons gradually disappeared, magic also began to disappear.

More than one person in the original work mentioned that after the appearance of dragons and red comets, the power of magic was obviously enhanced.

There was no doubt.

Dragons and magic had a mysterious and close connection.

Some people said that dragons brought magic, and the death of dragons also took away magic, so summers gradually shortened, and winters became longer and longer.

But after the dragons became extinct, the magic of Westeros and Essos did not completely disappear. The Others, skinchangers, wizards, and shadowbinders all existed in a low-key manner.

Magic only declined, not disappeared.

What's more, Joffrey verified with his own experience: magic still had power before the revival of the dragons.

Then, dragons and magic, perhaps the causal relationship was just the opposite.

He had a guess.

It was not that dragons brought magic, but that magic brought dragons.

As powerful magical creatures, perhaps the survival and reproduction of dragons required a sufficient magical environment. Source energy? Magic energy? Or something else?

Joffrey felt that this guess was very reasonable.

The ancient behemoths on Earth must rely on high concentrations of oxygen and other conditions to survive. The fire-breathing and flying dragons can't have no environmental restrictions, right?

If this was the case, then what the dragon egg needed most for hatching was not fire or life, but a magical environment suitable for survival.

Magic ebbed and flowed, and dragons prospered or declined accordingly.

Red comet.

Joffrey couldn't help but feel expectant.

If now was the low tide of magic, and the appearance of the red comet marked a new round of magic tide.

Then, not only dragons, but the magic empire would also become more prosperous.

What was the truth?

Joffrey couldn't be sure. Guesses were just guesses after all, and they still needed solid verification.

Now he had to wait patiently.

When the red comet appeared in the sky, the changes in magic would give the answer.

Hopefully, it would be a good answer.

He moved his hand away from the dragon egg and turned to look at the sleeping Daenerys.

With this Princess of the Dragon family, even if he only repeated the methods of the original work, he could at least hatch the dragon eggs.

As long as the young dragons were born, there would be ways to tame them.

"Dragon... don't..." Daenerys murmured in her sleep, her expression seeming somewhat frightened.

Joffrey helped her smooth her hair, gently sliding it across the girl's cheeks, collarbone, and back. Daenerys was still immersed in her dream.

This was not the first time. Since coming into contact with the dragon eggs, Daenerys often fell asleep during the day.

Joffrey knew that this was the so-called "Dragon Dream", unique to the blood of the true dragon, a dream said to have prophetic abilities.

He lay down next to Daenerys and wrapped his arms around the trembling girl.

Entering her dream.
