Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 119 The Dragon Clan’s Sorrow

"The war is over, Lord Stark." Mrs. Shabiter glanced around at the fierce northerners. Most of them were young and strong men wearing tattered fur armor. Mrs. Shabiter knew that the northerners were gathering. The purpose of building such an army is that winter is coming, and even the Twin River City is feeling the cold wind blowing from the north. This year's harvest has been much worse than before under the influence of the war and the approaching winter, and facing it head-on Winter in the North After learning that the northern army had left Barrow Tomb, Alexa and Benjikor immediately went north with Rodrik to prepare for the arrival of Duke Stark. It was also because of their nearly 7,000 troops that Mrs. Shabitha did not show cowardice in front of this murderous man.

"The traitor's trial has not yet been completed. I have not received a letter from the traitor in the West to open the castle, nor have I seen the traitor's head on the spear point of King's Landing," Cregen said calmly. Benjikou wanted to say something, but was frightened by Cregan's look. Only then did he realize that he was still a child.

"The princes of the West have surrendered." Alysanne looked directly into Cregan Stark's eyes. "Prince Longzel is about to lead his army north, and he and Prince Jakaris will preside over the trial at Harrenhal. If you want a just trial, go to Harrenhal and wait for Prince Longzel."

Cregan Stark stared at Alexa for a while and said calmly: "Okay, then I will go to Harrenhal. I hope the result of the Great Trial will satisfy the world."

Seeing the Duke of Winterfell leave in front of them, several leaders of the Riverlands breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister, he is so scary." Benjikou couldn't help but whisper. Alysanne looked at the back of Cregen Stark and murmured: "He is a leader. I feel the harshness of winter in him. Ben, do you know what the thirty thousand troops in the north mean?" ?”

Benjikou shook his head, and Rodrik Dustin explained: "This means that 30,000 men will not return to the north again, and the food they save will feed our next generation." The old man. Said: "From the moment we crossed the Neck, we were already dead."

Oldtown, Citadel, Jaehaerys Statue Square.

Dr. Crassus from Occultism, Dr. Leisen from History, Dr. Kerron from Medicine, and Dr. Mukun stood nervously in front of Longzel's desk, waiting for the young man in front of them to finish reading the book that impressed them. A masterpiece that makes everyone anxious. There are also several large and thick books on the desk.

Finally, Long Zell gently put down the book and looked at the doctors in front of him expressionlessly. "Come on, everyone, let me explain it now while Xiaojie is away." Long Ze picked up a brilliant masterpiece titled "The Fertility and Breeding of Dragons: Speculations on Dragon Taming Technology in Ancient Valyria" and read it to several people. The doctor wavered in front of him, then threw it directly at the feet of several doctors with a snap. "What is the city doing to study this thing?"

Dr. Crassus knelt down tremblingly. He clearly saw Vermisor lying behind Longzell. His mountain-like body almost occupied the entire square. The dragon head alone was like a hill. There is no need to breathe fire, just breathe and the old guys will fly.

"And this one." Long Zell grabbed another book and glanced at the title. ""Detailed Records of the Hatching Patterns of Dragon Eggs". You have done a very comprehensive study." It was thrown in front of the doctors with a snap. "And this one, why are you compiling the royal family's birth records?"

"Your Highness, I can explain, explain the birth records." Dr. Coleron of Medicine said anxiously. "The royal family is the focus of the city's services. The manuscripts and diaries of each grand bachelor will be collected and organized by the cardinals so that the next grand bachelor can understand the situation and write history books. Therefore, we not only retain the medical and birth records of the royal family, but also Records of imperial meetings and so on were kept.”

Long Zell looked at Dr. Kerron quietly. Dr. Kerron was a little shy and did not dare to look into Long Zell's eyes. Of course, more importantly, he did not dare to look at the giant dragon above his head. "Then let me explain why patient specimens were lost in the Citadel, and there were epidemics of tremors and dragon pox in my territory and around King's Landing."

Long Zell hooked his hands, and Wormisor slowly lowered his head, looking coldly at the doctors who almost peeed out of fear. "My friend died of dragon pox, and the disease you revealed left King's Landing in ruins. Come on, explain this first."

Wormisor slowly let his dragon's kiss pass over the heads of several doctors. The occult Dr. Crassus could even see the dragon's red neck, which was a sign that the dragon was brewing flames.

"This matter has nothing to do with us, Your Highness." Dr. Korron knelt down and rolled around trying to get closer to Ronzel, but was knocked down by Vermisor's nose and snorts. , the old doctor didn’t care about arranging his clothes, and tried to lie down on the ground, and said tremblingly: "We also found out when we were inspecting the ice cellar. Normal ice cellars are inspected every three months. We don't know why this happened. Situation."

"Your Highness, the research on dragons is something that Dr. Vaigon is involved in." Dr. Leisen, a historian, suppressed his fear and tried hard to explain: "Brother Bass, Prime Minister of His Majesty Jaehaerys I, wrote "Dragons, Saurus and Dragons" After the book "Long-Winged Dragon: The Unnatural Evolution of the Dragon Clan" was returned to the academy, scholars in the academy naturally conducted research on this work, and Dr. Wei Geng also participated. "

When Longzell heard the name Wei Geng, he couldn't help but press his temples. "Dragonless One" Wei Geng. In terms of biological relationship, this is his uncle, the son of Jaehaerys I, the famous "Dragonless One". Dragon Lord," he volunteered to become a maester and eventually became a member of the Citadel's Cardinal Council.

The Targaryens really know how to play. Longzell couldn't help but sigh, they should really be glad that these scholars were misled by Bass's seemingly absurd theory, and that the Targaryen family really didn't seem to inherit much knowledge of Valyrian dragons, which led to Vaigen The information provided is not very reliable, otherwise these scholars would really have researched something incredible.

"Okay, the more you explain, the more you seem to have a problem." Long Zell finally stopped talking nonsense and motioned to the Dothraki boy Ago on the side to get a cup filled with wine. He stretched out his hand and gently cut his finger and dripped it. A few drops of blood into the wine. The finger healed quickly, and Longzell pushed the wine glass in front of several doctors. "Come on, let each of you take a sip, and then swear in front of Wormisor that you have never had any negative thoughts towards the Dragon King family. Come on."

The doctors looked at each other.

In the end, Dr. Leisen of History sighed and stood up, "Your Highness, what the Academy wants is a world without magic." He picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp. "The Academy is thirsty for knowledge and spreads knowledge. For thousands of years, the Academy has always adhered to neutrality and served every lord. We have a clear conscience about this. We have indeed studied magic, and we have indeed had many magicians, but Your Highness, have you ever thought that this world does not actually need magic?"

He looked at Dr. Crassus, the occultist. Crassus knew that there had always been a small group of people in the city who hated magic and rejected magic. They had even influenced several great bachelors and archbishops. It was also under their influence that the original Ravenology with traces of magic is completely out of the category of magic. Thousands of years ago, the children of the forest and the wizards of the ancestors could understand the language of ravens, but now, the bachelors who tame ravens only know how to make them Know the roads and how to make them deliver messages accurately. Only a few students could pass the Valyrian steel necklace links of the occult science, and the magical elements in medicine had also been completely eliminated, but he did not expect that this group of people would actually dare to do such a thing.

"So it was your people who stole my specimen." Dr. Kerron's old face turned pale all of a sudden, and he almost choked to death. "Seven hells, you killed us all."

Dr. Mu Kun looked desperate. He knew that there was a problem with history, which meant that there was a problem with the education in the city in recent years, because history is one of the three most important subjects in the city, and all bachelors need it. Take a course in history.

"Don't worry." Dr. Leisen looked at Long Zell. "I know how powerful your blood magic is, and I won't hide it. I just ask that you let go of the other innocent bachelors, who have no idea of ​​our plan."

Ronzel didn't speak, just looked at him quietly. Dr. Leisen slowly said the names one by one. In fact, there were not many names, but there were several dead names that made the other doctors take a breath. Qi, those were several former maesters from Dragonstone, as well as Maegor's Grand Maester Desmond, and Jaehaerys' Grand Maester Aral. "Grandmaester Elisa is not one of ours. That stubborn guy didn't understand our plan and almost failed our plan." Dr. Leisen said: "The world we long for only has knowledge, no magic, and no place for dragons. , their existence makes military science worthless. The existence of magic also makes countless disciplines worthless, so we don’t need magic, and the world will be better than it is now.”

Longzell shook his head, "You guys." He looked at several doctors: "If you want the city to continue to exist in the future, I want to see those people Leisen mentioned before leaving for Harrenhal. Their heads, as for this doctor?" Long Zell suddenly clenched his hands: "Who told you that I used blood magic in the wine? Now this is blood magic."

Dr. Leisen's expression changed, and he suddenly screamed, clutching his heart and slowly falling to the ground. Wormisor opened his mouth, and a small mouthful of dragon flame engulfed the old doctor. The bronze mask melted in the blink of an eye. The molten copper slowly eroded the old man's gradually blackened face, and finally merged with his face.

"Cousin, cousin!" Just when Longzell was about to have Dr. Leisen's ashes cleaned up, Helena suddenly ran over. She was already weak and still holding Jaehaerys in her arms. Paler.

"What's wrong?" Long Zell stood up. He would not allow anything to happen to Helena and her son now.

"Jaehaerys suddenly complained that he had a headache last night." Helena said incoherently: "He suddenly started having a fever early this morning. The maesters tried several methods but couldn't reduce the fever."

"What?" Dr. Korron didn't care that he was still kneeling. He took a few steps and rushed to Helena's side, and touched Jaehaerys' head. "Why is it so hot? How did those boys learn how to reduce fever?"

Long Zell suddenly frowned.

Just when Jaehaerys started to have a high fever.

King's Landing.

Daemon and Joffrey stood nervously outside the door of the queen's bedroom. Baela blocked the door and refused to let them in. The girl put on her veil and said loudly to the man and boy: "My mother won't let you in. She said she is afraid of being infected and doesn't want to infect us."

"This is impossible. We are all here. Why is it only Mom?" Joffrey found it hard to accept this fact. They all came back from the dragon pit, but why did Rhaenyra suddenly feel cold after waking up from a nap? The disease progressed extremely rapidly. After only a few hours, Rhaenyra went from feeling cold to trembling all over and coughing constantly. The queen was unusually decisive. She called all those who had been close to her after returning to the Red Castle to her bedroom, and then sealed the door, not allowing anyone to approach, including her children.

Only Maester Gladys was allowed to enter the room because he prepared a medicine drink for Rhaenyra after her return, which was considered close to her.

Daemon held his stepson's hand tightly.
