Start with the Lord of the Rings

Under the dark night.

vast wilderness.

The raging fire was particularly conspicuous in the vast, dark wilderness.

Aphra stood outside the huge bonfire array and waited anxiously.

Although the owner Morgan told her he would be fine.

But she still felt extremely anxious, not because he didn't trust the master, but because she had never heard of this fact.

This made her have to worry.

But she could not disobey the master's order.

She can only hope that the master is really okay as he said before.

She didn't want to see something happen to her master.

She really didn't want to go back to the old days.

since my father went bankrupt.

Her life at home became more and more difficult and difficult.

After his father was forced into the door by debt collectors.

Mother was forced to pick up guests.

Then the younger sister was sold by her father.

And then yourself.

She didn't want to think about the tragic situation at home.

And since she was sold to the bloated middle-aged slave trader.

Her life was even more miserable.

Locked up with a group of girls in a dirty, smelly house.

being guarded every day.

As for the food, it was the worst food.

Although not starving to death, but certainly not enough to eat.

But these are not the most terrifying.

The most terrifying are the guards, or the slave owners, and the men who were brought by the slave owners to see them.

Their eyes looked at themselves as selective as they were livestock.

Sometimes when those people see a girl, they will even be taken directly to other rooms.

She remembered it clearly.

Of the more than ten girls who were in the same group as her, except for her, almost all of the other girls had been forcibly insulted by those people.

And as for why she survived.

It was because she heard the fat slave owner say that her virginity was very valuable.

This dispelled those people's thoughts.

Although she knew very well that the fat slave owner had never really moved his greedy and sinister gaze from him since he bought him.

Among the many girls who were sold into slaves under various circumstances, most of them actually hoped that they could be bought as soon as possible, rather than suffer in the hands of prison-like slave traders.

on auction day.

The fat slave owner would have all the girls bathe, wash their hair, and put on the same rough, but clean linen clothes.

Just to be able to fetch higher prices and more money at auctions.

Then, she met the current owner, Morgan.

Although she did not live long in the hands of slave traders.

But she knew from the mouths of the other girls around, the guards, and even the slave owners that she knew that it was very rare for her to meet a master like Morgan.

Therefore, she didn't want to let go of her master, she didn't want to lose her master, and she didn't want to go back to the past hell where she lived like a year.

Outside the campfire.

Aphra's mind was full of thoughts, and her face was anxious.

within the square.

Morgan endured the stinging pain of the flames, constantly feeling the movement of the dragon egg in his arms.

As the surrounding charcoal began to be depleted of energy, the fire continued to decrease.

Morgan thought it was another useless act.

at this time.

There was a sudden fluctuation in the dragon egg with delicate and complex black lines in his arms.

next second.

Morgan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the black dragon egg in his arms. His face was full of excitement, surprise, and disbelief!

But it's true.

He has been mentally monitoring the movements of the dragon egg in his arms.

And the fluctuation of life just now, Morgan felt very clearly.

If it is said that sometimes what you see with your eyes is not necessarily true.

But what is felt in the spirit is not so gullible.

There was a reaction inside the dragon egg.

That can only show one situation, that is, the dragon egg is still "alive", which means that the dragon egg is likely to be hatched.

And this trace of life fluctuations shows that his method of hatching dragon eggs is correct, and it also shows that he is walking on the correct hatching path.

As long as it can continue to hatch.

It is very likely that he will hatch this dragon egg and get a giant dragon cub.

How precious dragon cubs are.

This can be seen from the ancestor of the Targaryen Dynasty, Aegon I Targaryen, who used three adult dragons to rule the entire seven kingdoms of Westeros.

Now the Targaryen dynasty is over.

The two remaining siblings of the Targaryen blood could only survive by marrying under the command of the greatest lord of the Dothraki.

At this time, if you can hatch a giant dragon cub.

"call"

Looking at the black dragon egg in his arms, Morgan, who was confused, took a deep breath and suppressed his inner excitement.

He raised his head and looked at the fading fire around him.

Morgan had the urge to continue hatching in one breath.

But considering that we have to rush tomorrow.

He still stopped the idea of ​​continuing to incubate.

Anyway, there is still a long way to go.

Don't worry about it tonight.

Thinking of this, Morgan got up and was about to take the dragon egg back into the dimensional ring space again, when he suddenly found that the color of the complex black lines on the outside of the dragon egg seemed to have become darker, and it looked a little more glossy than before.

If the previous dragon egg looks more like a hard dragon egg-shaped stone.

But now it's obviously more like an egg, with the look and texture of a real dragon egg.

This is obviously a good thing.

Morgan was happy and put away the dragon egg.

At this time.

Suddenly, there was the cry of the little slave girl Avra.

Morgan looked up and saw Aphra's eager face and watery green eyes with tears in the corners of the charcoal fire.

"Okay, isn't it okay?"

Morgan stepped on the still-red charcoal with bare feet, walked up to Aphra and smiled.

Just seeing the master's naked body so close, even if it's not the first time, after the worry disappeared, the incomparable shyness immediately surged up, and Aphra's face quickly turned red again.

Aphra turned her head shyly.

Looking at Aphra's appearance, Morgan laughed out loud.

Incubation is over.

Morgan got dressed and took Aphra back to the campfire beside the carriage, set up the cooking pot again and started preparing for supper.

He just struggled to resist the scorching of the flames in the charcoal bonfire formation, which was extremely expensive.

You will definitely need to eat supplements at this time.

The skinny Aphra also needs to take in a lot of nutrient-rich food tonic, and strive to eat her body back to normal as soon as possible.

Watching the owner's hands keep appearing one after another of food and spices out of thin air.

Aphra, who was beside her, had long since widened her eyes.

But she won't ask anything.

Compared with the owner who can shuttle back and forth in the raging fire or even be burned for more than half an hour, he can still be safe and sound.

In Aphra's cognition, such a magical ability in front of him was nothing.

Today is my first night in the wild.

Morgan was cooking supper while teaching Aphra how to cook supper.

During the day because of the need to hurry.

The two lunches are basically dried meat, dry food such as cakes that can be stored for a long time.

It's not until dinner and supper that I cook and eat hot food. Well, and in the morning.

The methods and steps taught by Morgan to cook a late-night snack were very careful, and Aphra also learned it very carefully.

When the intensely fragrant food in the pot is cooked tonight.

Aphra has already learned seventy-eighty-eight.

Then you can try cooking.

A supper is over.

The night was already a little dark.

Although it was already the end of winter and the beginning of spring was coming, the wilderness nights on Essos were not too cold.

But Morgan wasn't ready to go back to sleep.

The spacious two-person carriage he bought with a lot of money was just for sleeping in the wild.

Aphra lays down the bedding in the carriage.

Morgan was not pretentious this time. After feeding the two horses, he went back to the carriage to take off his clothes and lay down.

And when Aphra lay down in her thin pajamas, she was hugged by Morgan.

He could clearly feel Aphra trembling all over.

But Morgan didn't do anything else after hugging Aphra. He just hugged him to sleep, and it didn't take long for a slight snoring sound to come out.

Aphra, who was held in her master's arms, was nervous and panic-stricken with a hint of anticipation.

Ready to wait for the arrival of the host.

But the owner has not made any other movements, and soon purred.

Only then did Aphra realize that the master was just holding her to sleep, she was not disappointed, on the contrary, she was relieved.

She knew that her whole body was covered with bones, and it would be uncomfortable to hold it.

Men don't like women who are too thin.

This is what the other girls told her when she was still in the slave trader's cell.

So she decided that she must eat more next time.

Try to be able to eat as soon as possible, and eat back to the shape of the body when you were still at home.

The master is going to Slave Bay this time.

She has never traveled far. She is a little curious about what Slave Bay is like, but she is more concerned about whether the owner will buy other slaves in Slave Bay, where the most slaves are traded.

Close to the master's strong, hot and powerful chest.

Aphra also quickly fell asleep while thinking about it.

The night was darker.

Just when Morgan was holding a beautiful little slave girl and sleeping peacefully in the wilderness of Essos mainland.

The court situation in the Red Fort of King's Landing, far across the narrow sea.

Great changes have already taken place.

Let's go back in time to more than half a month ago.

Morgan was still floating on the narrow sea at that time.

Inside the Red Fort.

The three-day appointment time has come.

Queen Cersei Lannister didn't wait for Morgan to know that she had been fooled and prostituted for nothing.

But when she sent people to search all the places where Morgan stayed in King's Landing, they couldn't find Morgan.

No matter how angry Cersei Lannister was.

But Morgan is only a small person after all.

After Queen Cersei Lannister was angry for a while, she took Morgan's deception to herself and ignored it.

Because it is a big deal to deal with Eddard Stark, who has returned to the throne of the former Prime Minister.

The youngest brother Tyrion Lannister was arrested, and his brother Jaime Lannister was forced to escape from King's Landing.

Obviously, it was the Stark family who took the lead in unruly actions.

The king's husband allowed himself to endure it, knowing that Tyrion was still in the hands of Catelyn Tully, the slut of the Stark family.

Lannister "debt to pay"!

How can this make Queen Cersei Lannister endure.

Therefore, the conspiracy she prepared for her husband, King Robert Baratheon, also began as the other party went to hunt outside the city.

the other side.

Inside the Stark family castle in the Noble Quarter.

On the second day after Morgan left King's Landing, the former Prime Minister Eddard Stark was in the study on the second floor, flipping through the "Genealogy and History of the Major Nobles of the Seven Kingdoms" in Westeros, which was borrowed from the great scholar. when books.

Suddenly an amazing secret was discovered.

He inquired about the "Baratheon Family". Except for several children of the current King Robert Baratheon who were all blond, the other members of the Baratheon family were all black-haired.

What's strange is that Robert Baratheon's illegitimate children who have been identified are all black-haired without exception.

Such a discovery quickly made Eddard Stark suspicious.

Soon, it was found that the Lannister family in Casterly Rock City has always had a tradition of blond hair.

Think of a discord between Queen Cersei Lannister and King Robert.

Eddard Stark has realized what happened.

Then think of what the intelligence chief Varys had warned him about.

Eddard Stark has vaguely begun to realize some things and conspiracies.

However, he is a man of integrity, and he is disdainful and not good at intrigues.

So after finding out that Prince Joffrey, Myrcella and Tommen Baratheon are not the children of Robert Baratheon, the king and friend.

Eddard Stark approached Queen Cersei Lannister the next day to explain his findings, and persuaded the other party to take the child out of King's Landing.

It's just that Queen Cersei Lannister didn't do what Eddard Stark wanted.

seven days later.

Kingdom Robert Baratheon's hunting convoy returned to King's Landing ahead of schedule.

At the same time, news that the king was seriously injured by a wild boar quickly spread throughout King's Landing.

a time.

The undercurrent of Jun's Landing is surging.

Essos Continent.

Free City of Pentos Head to the Wilderness Road in the Free City of Norvos.

A well-shaped two-horse four-wheeled carriage was galloping down the avenue.

When the orange light that hangs high in the western sky fades into the horizon.

The sky quickly darkened.

"Go over there and spend the night under those two trees tonight"

Inside the carriage, Morgan stuck his head out of the window and pointed to the wilderness with two tall trees with crooked necks in the distance.

Aphra, who was driving, nodded skillfully and pulled the reins, and the carriage immediately drove in the direction of the two tall trees with crooked necks.

It didn't take long.

Park your car.

Morgan feeds the horses, and Aphra, who is very familiar, sets up a pot and starts cooking dinner.

It has been more than half a month since I left Pantos.

Aphra has grown from a cooking novice to a culinary pro.

Not only is Morgan no longer required to drive, but also to cook.

Although Morgan was busy with things at hand.

But mentally, he couldn't stop at all.

Because he could feel that the dragon egg in his dimensional ring was about to break its shell.

Since the first day away from Pantos.

After the dragon egg fluctuates for the first time.

Morgan will hatch every night after that.

Then, without letting him down, the fluctuations in the black dragon egg also increased as the incubation time increased.

Just last night.

When hatching in the charcoal circle, Morgan could feel the life inside the dragon egg starting to keep hitting the eggshell.

This convinced him.

Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow night, maybe the day after tomorrow.

Just a few days anyway.

The life in the dragon egg is about to break out of the shell.

How could this calm him down?

So just finished dinner.

Morgan immediately began to set up a coal fire circle on the leveled wilderness around the two crooked neck trees.

After a busy time.

A huge charcoal formation was set up.

Morgan couldn't wait to walk into the only open space in the center of the circle.

Aphra stood outside the coal fire formation and obeyed the command to light the coal fire formation again.

Central fire.

Feel the heat blazing rapidly around you.

Morgan could clearly feel that the dragon egg in his arms quickly became active again.

As if flames can activate the life in the dragon egg.

Just like yesterday.

The contents of the dragon egg slammed into the black egg shell again immediately after waking up.

Time passed slowly.

The surrounding flame temperature is getting higher and higher.

The movement of the dragon egg in Morgan's arms is also getting bigger and bigger.

Finally, when the temperature of the charcoal fire array reached the highest value.

The movement of the dragon egg in Morgan's arms suddenly stopped after a violent blow.

Immediately after.

"click"

"Crack cack clap."

There were successive crackling sounds.

Morgan stared at the rapidly cracking dragon egg below him.

next second.

A small thing with horns on its head, with wings on its back, and covered in black, came out of the eggshell.
