Game of Thrones: I Became a Crown Prince For a Day Chapter 610

Chapter 610 The Roar of the Young Dragon

Time flies, and time flies by.

Early spring, 131 AC.

King's Landing welcomes the tenth long summer, and the meadows are peaceful with warblers flying.

Mud Gate, Pier.

"Quick, don't waste time!"

Merchant ships with different canvases were moored, and merchants from all over the world disembarked, urging the sailors to carry their goods.

Today is the first day of spring.

I heard that the king was going to hold a general meeting and entertain all the visiting guests.

The merchants are eager to open trade routes, with their ugly faces showing: "Hurry up, or all your money will be deducted!"

Suddenly, there were complaints.

Boom, boom, boom!

The bells of the Protestant churches rang, and the people in the city clasped their hands.

At this moment, the attendants inside and outside the Red Castle came and went quickly to entertain the guests.

boom-

Two huge golden objects flew by, and the strong wind blew the bronze bells, pushing the harmonious atmosphere to a climax.

"Hiss!"

A golden dragon streaked across Flea Bottom, its scales shining golden in the sun, and it flapped its pale pink fleshy wings.

The giant beast had a proud character and circled the city twice before reluctantly landing.

"Here comes the new god!"

The very old Leonor stood in the vestibule of the Red Castle, extremely happy: "Finally someone came to help me share the burden."

As he spoke, many gorgeously dressed businessmen passed by.

Under the leadership of the royal guards, they walked into the throne hall and banquet hall respectively.

At this time, the parliament hall.

A group of imperial ministers were sitting at attention, all of whom were old acquaintances.

Viserys took a sip of wine and broke the dullness: "Rhaegar, the royal council is about to begin."

After years of cultivation, his old body has recovered well.

Viserys was neatly dressed, hiding his growing hairline and unkempt beard.

Allison decides what to wear, which cannot stand against the middle-aged man's cherishment of hair.

The sea snake sat at the opposite corner of the conference table, looking at the back of the young king standing in front of the window.

Playing with the pale stone ball with the palm of his hand, it made a crisp sound when it collided with the ball.

Judging from the furrowed brows, he is not as patient as he appears.

"Coming, father."

Rega turned around and joked with a smile: "Look outside, it's really full of flowers, and the fire is cooking oil."

A few years older, his temperament has become calmer.

Just a small movement of leaning on the window edge, as if the tall figure is leaning on the mountain, gives people a calmness that will not be shaken even if the sky falls.

Viserys raised his eyebrows, unhappy: "That's not a good word."

"But it is."

Rega walked to the conference table, pulled out the chair that symbolized royal power, and smiled vaguely: "As you and I can see, the prosperous age is coming."

As soon as these words came out, the ministers looked at each other in confusion, trying to understand the king's meaning.

The Targaryen dynasty captured the three free trade cities of Myr, Tyrosh, and Lys, plus the Stepstone Islands that blocked the route in the lower half of the Narrow Sea.

Over the years, the three city-states and the Stepstone Islands have earned as much wealth as they did in previous decades.

Controlling the lower half of the Narrow Sea is holding a cornucopia.

With astronomical amounts of money, the Seven Kingdoms ushered in an unprecedented prosperity.

Rhaegar sat back and asked with a smile: "In the annual summary, we all talk about any troubles."

Needless to say, the harvest is great, and the gold accumulated in the treasury is visible to the naked eye.

The sea snake put down the stone ball and was about to speak.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Tai Lan spoke up first and interrupted him directly.

The sea snake rolled his eyes speechlessly and waited patiently for the other party to finish.

Tyran straightened his clothes and said solemnly: "The economy of Volantis has always been stable, but there have been some fluctuations recently."

"Oh, tell me."

Rhaegar asked curiously.

Tyran serves as both Minister of Civil Affairs and Regent of Volantis, and is already a powerful veteran.

The third son, Meka, also studied under him and was regarded as the loyal backbone of the royal family.

"Your Majesty, this matter is related to the revival of Slaver's Bay."

Tai Lan's expression changed and he complained: "Slaver's Bay made its fortune by selling slaves, and now it is making a comeback. In order to develop its economy in a short period of time, it is frantically sending slave ships to plunder passing merchant ships."

Once merchants at sea were captured and hijacked by slave ships, their goods and women could be taken away.

If you are not careful, men will be shackled and reduced to hard labor in repairing Slaver's Bay.

Hearing this, Rhaegar nodded his chin.

Slaver's Bay was not simple. After being captured and overthrown, the slave owners' momentum was greatly increased.

It has been quiet in recent years, but it turns out that it is holding back big moves.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to say."

The sea snake interrupted and stood up majestically.

Rega blinked, and based on the recent rumors, he probably guessed what the other party was going to say.

Looking slightly sideways, Intelligence Chief Tormund nodded secretly.

Rhaegar understood in his heart and said generously: "Please speak, Lord Corliss."

The old man lost his son and daughter successively, and he relied on a pair of grandsons and granddaughters to support him. He actually had great ambitions to rejuvenate himself for the second time.

In terms of maritime trade in the kingdom, thanks to this veritable minister of the sea.

Even merchant ships as far away as Asia will travel thousands of miles to the continent of Westeros.

"Your Majesty, this matter is also related to what Lord Tailan said."

The sea snake said solemnly, "You should know that not long ago, a shocking war broke out in the Basilisk Islands of the Sothoros continent, which almost turned into rivers of blood." "Of course." Rhaegar's eyes darkened.

The Basilisk Islands are a chaotic and dirty place where pirates, slave traders and prostitutes live.

Just two years ago, the remnants of the Three Women Kingdom took a boat to the continent of Sothoros and set their sights on this unclaimed land.

The Basilisk Islands scattered along the coast are the primary target.

But that group of pirates and slave traders are not a vegetarian. Even if they give up the Basilisk Islands to the invaders, they will still find ways to cause trouble secretly.

There is a fire today, and the well is poisoned the day after tomorrow.

There was even an admiral known as the "Commander of the Summer Sea" who took the lead in plundering supplies destined for the Basilisk Islands.

The two sides started a tug-of-war and spent several years hard at work.

"The steward of the Summer Sea is dead."

Sea Snake made a shocking statement and said in a deep voice: "The remnants of the Three Women Kingdom completely occupied the Basilisk Islands. The Iron Bank lent them a large sum of money and purchased the building materials for fifty large ships from Pantos."

Those unwilling guys want to rebuild a free trade city on the continent of Sothoros.

Lei Jia looked as usual and said seriously: "Where is the specific news?"

"The remnants of the Three Women Kingdom have asked for help."

The sea serpent's face was gloomy and he clenched his fists: "The ironmen of the Iron Islands came out in full force and followed the King of the Iron Islands, Dalton Greyjoy, to join the war."

"It is said that the summer sea is dyed red, and thousands of sharks linger for a long time."

Rega frowned slightly and looked at Tailan and the second position on his right hand.

Tailan was confused and said innocently: "My brother didn't give me any news. He only cares about having fun."

In the second position, Otto Hightower, who had gray hair on his temples, stood up and said silently: "Ironmen have a bad nature, and the young Voice of Old Town dare not stop him."

"The Iron Swarm crosses the Summer Sea, and Oldtown has to defend itself."

Rega's eyes were deep and he had no intention of pursuing further.

As early as half a year ago, he learned about the iron group riot.

However, the Iron Group did not invade Lannister Harbor and plunder the ships in the Narrow Sea, so they did not attract attention.

Rhaegar expected something to happen, but he didn't expect that Iron Qun would engage in diplomacy.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Otto was serious and said smoothly: "Dalton Greyjoy is an inherently evil iron type. After the war, he passed by the Summer Islands and slaughtered ten of them for supplies."

Such behavior is outrageous.

Hearing this, Rega finally couldn't sit still.

In addition to the three continents of Westeros, Essos, and Sothoros, there are many islands in the world.

Among them, the Stone Step Islands and Midsummer Islands are the largest and most famous.

The latter is located in the Summer Sea, with the Arbor Island where the Redwin family is located to the north, and the vast ocean in the other three directions.

The island is rich in tropical trees and minerals, and the human race is tall black people.

The civilization is relatively backward and it is a small and peaceful place.

Such a poor and remote place has suffered an unreasonable disaster.

The sea snake took over the words and was furious: "Dalton Greyjoy is cruel by nature. He was called the Red Sea Monster when he was a teenager. Recently, he robbed merchant ships near the Stepstone Islands under the banner of the Thirty-Percent Alliance."

Enemies of the kingdom join forces and plunder House Velaryon's ships.

The two things, no matter how important they are, are all troubling the sea snake's nerves.

It's true that Corlys Valerian is old, and a young boy dares to provoke him.

"He is indeed an annoying and ruthless character."

Rhaegar's thoughts were spinning and he muttered: "My aunt is on Chaotou Island. She will follow me to Sunspear City in a few days. We will meet this red sea monster on the way."

Dorne is still in civil strife, divided into two parts: east and west.

Prince Quill is a die-hard member of the royal family and hopes to get some support.

Coincidentally, he was worried about the wild dragon Uragas who was far away in the continent of Sothoryos, and planned to check whether the injury was recovered.

Gluttonians are cunning by nature and are particularly ruthless towards their own kind.

Uragas' development was delayed and his recovery from injuries was slower.

If he recovers from his injuries this time, he will migrate to Dragonstone Island to build a nest.

In addition, according to the gossip from the intelligence chief, some fishermen claimed to have seen traces of giant dragons near the Sea of Dorne.

Because it was very foggy in the morning, I couldn't see clearly enough.

It is only said that the dragon is white and very large.

The only dragons that can roam near the Dorne Sea are light silver sea smoke.

But Haiyan is only a fourth-generation dragon, and his size is far from being called "extraordinary".

Rhaegar was worried that a wild dragon was causing trouble, and he had already made up his mind to find out.

Just take care of Dorne, the remnants of the Three Female Kingdoms, and the Red Sea Monster along the way.

"Your Majesty is wise."

The sea snake was quite satisfied with this and sat down happily.

Rhaegar smiled slightly, thinking more.

"Your Majesty, and Volantis."

Tai Lan quickly stood up and asked for help: "If we allow the wanton looting of Slaver's Bay, we will not be able to do business."

Volantis' trade is not as good as the three city-states across the Narrow Sea.

If this continues, I'm afraid the regent position will be over.

Rhaegar clicked his tongue and said helplessly: "Lord Tyran, the revival of Slaver's Bay is unstoppable. The most I can do is order Aegon to patrol on his dragon for a period of time and warn the slave ships to restrain themselves."

No matter how many merchant ships are plundered, they are not Westeros merchant ships.

Slaver's Bay is a geomantic treasure, occupying the only slave trade.

Rhaegar had no idea of attacking, and was infiltrating the outside forces in a subtle way.

There is no other reason than that the family is too strong and too weak.

It was so powerful that it occupied three city-states and Qohor on the other side of the Narrow Sea, almost doubling the kingdom's territory.

The weakness lies in the fact that there are too few dragon masters to occupy more land.

When dealing with those ambitious forces, we can only look back and sigh.

After saying that, Rhaegar spread his hands.

If you want to expand your power based on the current territory, it will take at least another ten years.

Wait until a group of descendants quietly grow up, and then bring a "little" shock to the whole world.
