Chapter 558 Hidden dangers of the family
Meereen, interior of the city.
"Quick, catch them!"
"There is a son of the harpy..."
Gray Worm took the lead, leading the Unsullied army to sweep away the rebels in the streets and alleys.
Any slave or son of a harpy found hiding a weapon will be killed on the spot.
"Don't disturb the people, seal off the Great Lord's pyramid and arena!"
The sea snake looked solemn and sat in command of the army.
Meereen occupies a large area, with more than 30 pyramids and slave squares of different heights scattered within the towering city walls.
In addition, the arena was also a prosperous industry for the great masters to have fun and make money.
"My lord, the arena holds many slaves."
Adam was covered in blood and reported in a deep voice.
"Continue to be detained and provide adequate food and water."
The sea snake glanced at the **** and said calmly: "Your Majesty is going to interrogate the Great Master. You will lead a Velaryon team to search for the Golden Word."
After saying this, he raised his hand and pointed to an old pyramid of one hundred feet in front of him.
Adam was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said excitedly: "Yes, sir."
He called a group of soldiers wearing seahorse badges on their chests and rushed towards them excitedly.
The sea snake's eyes were complex, looking at Adam's back, and unknowingly they overlapped with Lanino's.
The city gate.
The glutton crouched on the ground, the dragon's head raised high, and the two dragon wings stuck to the sides like knives.
"No…"
"Let us go..."
Hundreds of great masters looked up at the huge black dragon with panic-stricken faces and urine flowing from their faces.
Too tall.
Not to mention the harpy sculpture standing at the top of the Great Pyramid, even the Great Pyramid itself, which is 800 feet high, is still as small as a broken house in front of the giant dragon.
The great masters wanted to escape, but they were all **** in a pile, regardless of gender.
This is how slaves are treated.
"Everyone, do you have any last words?"
Rhaegar sat on the head of the glutton, his mind open in an imageless manner.
"Please let us go, we are willing to ransom you with gold."
A young great master fell to his knees with a pop and prayed with tears streaming down his face.
They had heard that the wise lord of Yunkai had paid for his life.
Unfortunately, they asked the wrong person.
Rega laughed dumbly and tilted his head: "Listen, if I kill all of you, your wealth will also be mine."
"no no!"
The other great masters were completely panicked, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.
Rhaegar shook his head helplessly, no longer trusting the great master's words.
"Roar…"
The glutton felt something in his heart, the ferocious dragon's kiss opened, and the miserable green dragon flame accumulated in his throat.
"Dragon Flame!" Rega ordered directly.
boom-
The mist-like mist of miserable green dragon flames spurted out, pouring water over the heads of the great masters like a flood.
"Ah! Help..."
"Kill me, kill me quickly..."
Large areas of land were instantly scorched black, and green flames enveloped everyone, ravaging and torturing them like maggots in their tarsal bones.
The great masters did not die immediately, but struggled painfully under the fire.
Some great masters smashed their foreheads with their heads, and slit their throats with hidden daggers.
Being able to die quickly has become a luxury.
In the distance of the scorched earth, a team of Unsullied detained a great master alone.
Almos lost his former gorgeous robes and scepter, collapsed to the ground like a puddle of mud, and was on the verge of mental collapse.
"Roar…"
The glutton slowly turned his head, his pale green eyes flashing in amusement.
When the Unsullied saw this, his expression changed, he raised his spear and retreated.
"No, no dragon flames..."
Almos's pupils were trembling, his face was full of fear, and he was climbing on all fours like a dog.
"Alright, glutton."
Rhaegar patted the pale dragon's horn and asked with interest: "How many wizards from Asshai have you hired?"
The water wizard of Volantis, the invisible potion containing highly toxic substances, the black-robed wizard who lulls people into dreams...
It must be said that Asia is indeed a dangerous city.
The descendants of Gujis in front of them are also very good at winning people's hearts.
Facing the interrogation, Almos was flustered and half-truthed: "No more, I only bought a few wizards, and Yashai used this as a springboard to contact the outside world."
"Wizard Yashai is interested in the outside world?" Rhaegar didn't believe it.
"Yes, I didn't lie."
Almos waved his hands repeatedly and revealed the truth: "They study magic and borrow my ship to sail to all parts of the world."
Rega frowned when he heard this.
A group of wizards who are afraid of chaos in the world will cause trouble wherever they go.
Almos' eyes were wandering wildly. Seeing that the other party was thinking about something, he was thinking about how to save his life.
"How many pseudodragons are there in Slaver's Bay?"
Suddenly, Rhaegar's question interrupted his thoughts.
Almos was stunned for a moment, then said cryptically: "That's just that family, the rest are all Valyrians who cannot be studied."
"Oh?" Rhaegar squinted.
Without a word, the Unsullied raised his spear and pierced Almoth's thigh.
"ah!"
Almos screamed miserably, rolling around and begging for mercy: "Spare me, I don't dare to lie anymore."
Rega looked calm and asked: "Where are those pseudo-dragon bloodlines distributed?"
Slaver's Bay is the closest ancient city-state to Ancient Valyria.
Since the bloodline of the Fitznick family remains, there will definitely be continuation of the bloodline of other Dragon Kings.
Maybe the bloodline has been impure for a long time, and the glory of the ancestors has even been forgotten. But, after all, he is a descendant of the Dragon King.
Unable to withstand the torture, Almos vomited out many small families who were suspected to be descendants of the Dragon King. Finally, he did not forget to say: "I have many concubines, all of whom have the blood of the pseudo-dragon."
"Very good." Rhaegar smiled lightly.
There are four or five small families suspected to be descendants of the Dragon King, and there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor living in Slaver's Bay.
There is no surname of the Dragon King, which is similar to the identity of the herdsmen before the pseudo-dragon became famous.
"Your Majesty the True Dragon, I have said everything."
Almos was sweating profusely in pain, and begged: "You can keep me and manage Meereen for you."
"Yes, you are very useful."
Rhaegar smiled, not denying this.
Almos's eyes suddenly shone, and he clasped his hands in prayer for forgiveness.
"But you'd be more useful to me dead."
Rhaegar's smile disappeared fleetingly, and he said coldly: "Dragon Flame, the glutton."
"Hiss—"
Almos's eyes were splitting as he watched helplessly as the huge black dragon breathed out dragon flames and covered its head and face.
"Ah!..."
He was covered in dragon flames, his skin was burned inch by inch, and he was rolling and wailing.
The death of the great lord symbolizes the change of Meereen.
At night, the Great Pyramid.
Rhaegar, wrapped in a scarf, sat on the chair that had belonged to the Great Lord.
call-
The cool night breeze blew into the room, and the books on the table were opened and the pages were turned.
Rhaegar concentrated and took notes carefully on a map.
This is an ancient map of the Land of Changxia, with many topographic features marked by the pseudo-dragon.
"Still looking at the pictures?"
Rhaenyra walked out of the bathroom, tilted her head and wiped her silver hair, and approached lightly.
Rhaegar was startled when he heard the sound, and rubbed his eyebrows: "This map is much more accurate than the map collected by Dragonstone Island. I marked the family's former territory on it."
Ancient Valyria was destroyed for more than two hundred years, and the maps on the market are all shoddy.
With the information provided by False Dragon and Denise, he will have a more comprehensive map of the Land of Long Summer.
"Rhaegar, don't tighten yourself too much."
Rhaenyra's eyes were filled with pity, she wiped Rhaegar's long wet hair with a towel, and praised softly: "Meereen surrendered, and the entire Slaver's Bay is no longer able to resist. We are very successful."
Rega leaned back, found a soft place to press against, and said melancholy: "It's not enough, the family has too many flaws."
Father was right, Targaryen is a combination of chaos and disorder.
We all have dragons, why should we be inferior to others?
During his father's reign, he did not have enough strength to support him, and he was always in a situation where the emperor was weak and his ministers were strong.
If Aunt Rhaenys hadn't understood the general situation and considered the overall situation, the family's second dragon bloodshed that evolved from internal fighting would have inevitably occurred.
Today, the internal environment of the family has greatly changed.
Rhaegar was strong enough, and the gluttons swept through the dragons.
But the combined abilities of one person and one dragon are not enough to suppress the restlessness of the family members.
Damon and Emond are the best examples.
They recognized Rhaegar's rule, but criticized each other.
If Rhaenyra hadn't tried her best to stop him and Rhaegar left the dream quickly enough, the uncle and nephew would have staged a dance of bleeding dragons.
"Damon is gone."
Rhaenyra sighed and said: "Both uncle and nephew are worried. Sooner or later there will be a battle."
"If a family wants to reproduce, it must have a valuable treasure that can control the family."
Rhaegar raised his head, stared at the other person, and whispered: "I originally wanted to suppress the internal struggle in the family until our children grow up."
When several children grow up, the family will inevitably return to its prosperity during the reign of King Renrui.
Rhaenyra frowned slightly, waiting for the next step.
"But this method treats the symptoms rather than the root cause."
Rhaegar was a little regretful and said sincerely: "Even if a few children grow up and don't fight among themselves, it is inevitable that their children will not fight among themselves."
A Targaryen with a dragon is not easy to control, and the family cannot rely on so-called emotions to maintain it.
Aegon the Conqueror was famous throughout the ages, but he was also a mess when it came to his family.
Her younger sister, Queen Rhaenys, was jealous and arrogant towards her older brother Aegon and older sister Visenya.
For every night Aegon spent with Visenya, he spent ten times more with Rhaenys.
And on the night when Aegon was absent, he summoned his male favorite to sing all night long.
Rhaegar dared to assert that if Queen Rhaenys had not died unfortunately, the sisters would have broken up sooner or later.
The two descendants of the Conqueror, Aenys and Maegor, are also at odds with each other.
Maegor's parricide was not only cruel to her nephew, but also the grudges of the previous generation.
This is still the family of Aegon the Conqueror, and there are already many minefields buried there.
What's more, the larger and more complex family was maintained by Rhaegar alone.
There are uncle Daemon, aunt Rhaenys, five brothers and sisters of the same generation, and the next generation of children.
Rhaegar has always been tolerant of others and treated them with the highest respect.
For the same generation, he married Rhaenyra and Helena, and brought several half-brothers to his side.
For the next generation, as the eldest son, Bellon has almost a smooth path with his support.
But what about the next generation and the next generation?
The family is becoming more and more prosperous day by day, and within a few generations, not to mention controlling the dragon, even the dragon eggs may not be enough.
If we don't worry about scarcity but inequality, what will happen then?
Rhaenyra understood what he meant. She put her arms around his neck and said close to him, "Rhaegar, do you still want to go to the Sea of Smoke?"
There is a dragon's horn in the sea of smoke, which can suppress the restless dragon.
Rhaegar did not deny it and said: "I wanted to capture Slaver's Bay, so I took Daemon to the sea of smoke."
The accident happened so quickly, and it was up to Damon to make amends.
"Then we'll go to Yanhai later."
Rhaenyra hugged her brother tightly and buried her head in words: "Didn't you find Aegon a Fitznic girl, which just happened to settle his marriage with Aemond."
Father Viserys attaches great importance to the marriage of his children.
But Aegon despised his fiancée Selina Hightower and delayed getting married.
Eamond has just reached his age and is equally obstructed both horizontally and vertically.
"Okay, let's go back and see my father."
Rhaegar agreed.
