Chapter 589 The Sigh of the Sea Serpent
In the morning, the sun is shining brightly.
Rhaegar patrolled the port as usual, and the sailors were busy.
"His Majesty."
As soon as they reached the vicinity, the sea snake stepped off a large ship and greeted him respectfully.
"How are the supplies prepared, Lord Corliss?"
Rhaegar looked up and saw herds of goats driving toward the ship.
The sea snake was very confident and promised: "Don't worry, it will be enough to feed three dragons for a month."
"That's good."
Rhaegar responded and continued to look around.
He had a hunch that the other party wanted something from him.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
As expected, the sea snake leaned forward slightly and took the initiative to bring up the topic.
Rega withdrew his gaze, smiled and said, "Tell me and listen."
I am very curious as to what the old sea snake wants.
"Recently, pirates have become more and more rampant near the Stepstone Islands, which has seriously affected maritime transportation."
Sea Snake said solemnly, "In my opinion, Prince Aegon's Yang Yan is injured, and we should send a reliable fleet to deal with it strictly."
"Oh, which fleet should I send?"
Rhaegar pretended to be surprised and glanced at all the large ships flying seahorse flags in the harbor.
"As you can see, I am leading the entire fleet of House Velaryon this time."
The sea snake looked proud and recommended: "The Sea of Smoke is very dangerous, but it does not require all the ships to accompany it. The remaining half is enough to deal with the rogue pirates."
Rega laughed dumbly and responded, "That's a good suggestion."
Seeing dozens of large ships in the port, almost all the resources of the Velaryon family were spent.
Leaving half to wipe out the pirates is the same as leaving Aemond behind.
They are all for their respective families, there is nothing to say.
"I thank you on behalf of the sailors, Your Majesty."
The sea snake knew it well and sincerely thanked him.
Rega waved his hand and said slowly and logically: "Before departure, is there anything else you need?"
The sea of smoke is surrounded by dangers, and there are less than nine out of ten survivors.
Sea Snake is a mortal who can only fight against smoke and salt with his fleet, so he should not be stingy in his tolerance.
Hearing the king's initiative to mention it, the sea snake suddenly had an idea in his mind and said decisively: "Your Majesty, I have a first mate who once saved Prince Mekar and me. He is an upright and loyal young man."
"I know, Adam, right?"
Lei Jia's eyes flashed and he noticed a strange aura.
"Yes, that's him."
The sea snake admitted generously and tried hard to find his words: "I will go with you to the Sea of Smoke, and he will command the fleet of the Velaryon family. I believe he is much more reliable than Rhaena, a little girl."
Rega suppressed his smile, hearing something unusual.
Sea Snake clasped his big hands tightly and hesitated a little: "Renia is too young to be in charge of the unruly sea army. Instead, she is more suitable for palace duties."
Rega frowned slightly and looked at the other person up and down.
It can be seen from the physical details that when he said this sentence, he must have been struggling hard in his heart.
However, he gave a lame reason.
Rhaegar's momentum changed and he spoke sharply: "Lord Corliss, Renya is your chosen successor. I think there is no requirement for the island owner of Chaotou Island to be proficient in navigation."
"certainly."
The sea snake took a deep breath and made a final effort: "But it is difficult for a little girl who starts to feel dizzy before even getting on the ship to lead the Velaryon family to serve the country."
Ask yourself, the longer you are in contact with the Targaryen family, the more you can see through the complexity of people's hearts.
He prefers his illegitimate son who is both salt and sea to his granddaughter who is separated by blood.
Rhaegar heard the deep meaning and said displeasedly: "Lord Corliss, Rhaena is the daughter of Lannar, a woman with the blood and fire of dragon."
"That's just a little dragon that won't grow up!"
Sea Snake was excited for a moment and raised his voice in vain.
Rega's complexion turned cold, his eyes filled with coldness.
What a big joke!
At first, she begged and argued to adopt Renia to the late Lanino, so as to inherit the family business on Shitou Island.
Now that I have raised a smart and capable illegitimate child, I want to throw him away like a pair of worn-out shoes.
What is the Targaryen bloodline?
Rhaegar sneered and was about to scold him.
"Collis!"
Suddenly, Rhaenys's deep voice sounded, interrupting the conversation between the monarch and his minister.
Rhaegar raised his eyebrows and looked at the deck of the ship.
Rhaenys appeared at some point, leaning on the plank of the boat with her elbows, staring at her husband and nephew.
"aunt."
Rhaegar said hello, frowning secretly in his heart.
Mental strength is consumed too much and vigilance is greatly reduced.
He didn't even notice there was anyone above him.
"His Majesty."
Rhaenys nodded slightly, looked at her silent husband again, and said in a low voice: "Corliss, we haven't finished talking about what happened just now."
"Your Majesty, I still have ships to inspect."
Collis was disappointed and bowed to leave.
Rhaegar did not stop him and looked up at his troubled aunt.
Rhaenys pretended to be strong and changed the subject: "Daemon is back."
"I saw it."
Rega nodded and added, "Very flamboyant, not like he was frustrated."
Rhaenys thought for a moment and told the truth: "I returned the Dark Sisters to him."
"I saw it too."
Rega's eyes were surprised, waiting for the next step.
Rhaenys no longer hesitated and spoke bluntly: "Daemon is an integral part of the family. For him to serve as the Dragon Prince is a good thing for the family and for him."
When you are over fifty, you have the best insight into people's hearts.
The thing that Damon pursues all his life is nothing more than the word "identity".
Return the Dark Sisters to him and take over the responsibilities of the Dragon Prince.
Only then can we tie an endless yoke to the prodigal prince.
Hearing this, Rega was startled, lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
He had never imagined that Daemon would be the Dragon Prince.
From the bottom of my heart, a good uncle is an unreliable existence.
Rhaenys said nothing, quietly waiting for her nephew to make a decision.
quite a while.
The waves are lapping gently and the salty sea breeze is blowing.
Lei Jia's thoughts were surging, and there were thousands of words buried in his heart. He only said: "The trip to the sea of smoke will give him a chance to prove himself."
After saying that, he turned around and left the port.
At noon.
Everything was ready and the fleet set off from the port.
"Hiss...ga..."
A giant snake-like scarlet dragon glided past, roaring across the vast sea. Woo woo woo—
The horn sounded and the seahorse flag waved.
The sea snake looked solemn, wearing silver-gray armor, standing at the front of the deck.
The large ships moved one after another, comparable to a medium-sized fleet.
"Bless the Mermaid King!"
The sea snake murmured, looking back at the ships in the harbor.
Half of the warships then sailed out and sailed towards the Stone Step Islands.
On the first warship, there was also a silver-haired and dark-skinned figure.
The sea snake was fascinated by what he saw, and secretly prayed: "I hope my choice is right and I can return smoothly."
"Hiss!"
Suddenly, a dark young dragon flew overhead, its scarlet wings flapping vigorously, and the sails of the ship rustled in the strong wind.
The sea snake's body swayed, and its eyes stared at the dragon without blinking, with extremely complicated emotions.
Once upon a time, the eldest son also tamed Haiyan when he was young, and rode the young dragon to sail around with him.
High tower, the queen's palace.
"Look, grandpa is setting off!"
A few children were noisy, and Renya lay down by the window, looking at the fleet of ships sailing out densely.
"Bloodworms are so cool."
Aemon and Baenilla held hands, admiring the fleeting shadow of the scarlet dragon.
"Okay, let's all go play."
Rhaenyra leaned on the bedside tiredly and coaxed away a few lively children.
The alienation between siblings made her physically and mentally exhausted.
"Oh~"
The children are very sensible and well-behaved and go out together.
Rhaenyra sighed sadly and walked to the bed.
"Hiss—"
The dragon's roar, as dull as a bell, resounded for dozens of miles around, causing the tables, chairs and benches in the tower to shake slightly.
Rhaenyra peered out at the cliffs that spanned the shore.
call-
A huge creature as black as coal took steps, its sharp dragon claws crushed rocks, spread its wings and quickly rose into the air.
I saw the dragon shadow flashing past, swaying across the fleet, like a curtain covering the clouds and the sun.
The first two dragons are in front of it, making them appear small and agile.
Rhaenyra was in a daze, her eyes resting on the tall figure on the black dragon's back.
Boom!
There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the female companion Elena came.
"Your Majesty, can I take a shower?"
Unable to wait for a response, Elena dressed as a maid pushed open the door and entered, holding a basin in her hand.
Rhaenyra held up the window sill and let her companion comb her silver hair into long, delicate braids.
"Are you okay?"
Elena asked cautiously with worried eyes.
Rhaenyra was in a daze for a moment, then turned her head to see the clan sword "Light of the Kingdom" hanging on the wall.
At this time, the fleet turned into a black spot the size of a chess piece on the sea.
The three dragon shadows disappeared one after another, and no trace could be seen.
As if fascinated, Rhaenyra walked to the wall, took off the "Light of the Kingdom", and pulled out the sword with a snap.
stumbling—
The sword light was sharp and the sky was buzzing.
Rhaenyra held the sword sideways, as if looking for sustenance in it, and her confusion gradually faded away.
She is the Light of the Kingdom, the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and the Dragon-riding Queen.
Target Queen Visenya.
In Rhaegar's absence, she would maintain the peace of the Seven Kingdoms.
"His Majesty."
Elena was frightened and did not dare to approach the "Light of the Kingdom".
Rhaenyra glanced back and said surprisingly firmly: "I'm fine."
Roofless Dragon Cave.
"Roar—"
In the dim hall, a rough whine echoed.
Lanner wore a white gauze dress and sat on the edge of the dragon pit.
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?"
Mesalia stood a little further away with the curly-haired puppy in her arms.
Lanner shook her head slightly and said calmly: "Damon is not a child-loving person, and neither am I."
"That's right. He walked away after making a promise, which is in line with his usual style."
Mesalia shook her head and laughed, full of disappointment and self-deprecation.
"This time it's different."
Lanner's voice was soft, and she raised her pale and thin cheek, exuding an inexplicable confidence.
Damon has met her, and the two have been affectionate for a long time.
The other party made no guarantees, but was extremely firm in saying that he would capture a young dragon and bring it back.
Mesalia frowned deeply and hesitated for a moment: "Maybe."
Mill, Governor's Palace.
"Hiss..."
The light gray dragon shadow flickered, burrowed into the lush green garden, and curled up its huge body.
"Where is it?"
Castor wears coarse linen clothes and holds a bamboo stick, completely dressed as a Castor man.
As soon as she ran out, sisters Beron and Dany chased after her.
Then I saw Castor's crooked nose with scars, and shouted carelessly: "Come out, cowardly dragon!"
"Don't shout, you don't have to do this."
Belron looked embarrassed and spoke to stop him.
"It's fine!"
Ricinus raised his chin and slapped the barren hill: "Play hide-and-seek with me and watch me drive it back to Dragonstone Island."
"Your Highness!"
At this moment, Shiliu walked over with light steps, her fluffy brown curly hair slightly greasy.
Belron turned around, feeling a little strange.
Xi Liu bent down and whispered in his ear.
"What!?"
Belron's eyes widened and he was shocked: "Braavos and Pentos sent a fleet?"
