Chapter 2: The Majesty of the King(1/2)
The night wind was sharp, carrying the stench of corpses that could not be concealed by the aroma of wine. It blew past Drogo from time to time, who was sitting alone on a low hill and thinking. He got used to it. He put the gilded scimitar that his father had given him and returned to his hands after changing hands several times.
On one side, a double-arc bone bow is carried on the body, in case an enemy attacks, so that he will not be in a hurry. After all, this is an emergency period.
Drinking fermented mare's milk, which is better than honey wine, and eating barbecued meat smeared with honey. His physical strength was well replenished, but he was still very tired mentally and was not suitable for the lively atmosphere.
The torches were swaying on the flat area below him, the campfire was blazing, and the khalasar were toasting and celebrating his awakening and the birth of the dragon.
This is true on the surface, but with the people surrounding Daenerys singing and dancing in the center, and the exiled knight Jorah Mormont shouting for her Majesty the Queen who is not afraid of his wrath, it is obvious that she is the protagonist.
After his rebirth, Drogo was much less violent in his character. He was unhappy but did not lose his temper. He knew that the Dothraki respected the strong, that dragons represented destruction and had infinite possibilities, and that Dany was their leader.
's mother.
He is not a descendant of the true dragon. Even if he is fused with a large amount of Dany's blood essence, the invisible true dragon breath is still very thin. The three young dragons prefer Dany to him and Dany.
The rest are all weak people who have experienced inhuman life and are most attuned to the wind. Seeing that the young dragon's first choice is Dany, he naturally pours more fanaticism into her.
Drogo is familiar with his wife's journey in the play, and can already predict that as the dragon grows, the ambition of the woman who is weak on the outside but strong on the inside will expand day by day.
But no matter what, Drogo believes that he is still the husband that Dany needs to rely on, and he is also the spiritual leader of the group of old, weak, women and children.
Drogo didn't want to think too much about this for the time being. If he could live another life, even if he changed his body and lived in this terrifying world, he would still be grateful, because in his previous life, he could almost only lie on the hospital bed and wait for death.
The experience of this life is longer and more profound than that of Lonely's previous life, so this life is in charge. Soul travel is too mysterious and he doesn't want to study it at all. What is lingering in his mind at this time is why he is reborn in the state of the living dead?
According to the prophecy of the burned-to-death witch Mirri Maz Duur, the only way to do this is to wait for the sun to rise in the west and set in the east, wait for the sea to dry up, and the mountains to blow away in the wind like dead leaves, and wait for Dany's belly to be full again.
Only when the fetus moves can you wake up.
The four conditions required for his awakening were determined, even in this fantasy world where dragons, giants, white walkers, shadowbinders, shapechangers and other supernatural creatures may suddenly appear during witchcraft.
Arabian Nights.
But these miracles that are basically impossible to happen have been similarly confirmed in dreams: the moist grass sea was burned to death by the prairie fire, the mountains were blown down by the storm like dead leaves, and the father who was burned by the mysterious flames was like the sun.
It rises in the west and sets in the east, but the last condition deviates too much.
In Drogo's mind, it was obvious that the broken dragon replaced the last condition: "Is it because the conditions were not consistent that the real Drogo soul did not come back, but was occupied by me? But no matter what
Why, this is just a dream!"
Even though he has experienced two lives, he still feels that it has nothing to do with rationality.
The part about the coming-of-age ceremony in the dream was something he had actually experienced, but the second half had never happened.
Because Barbo was defeated in a tribal war when Drogo was fifteen years old, his sense of honor made him depressed. He was confused and lost his trace after a period of time. Some people say that he went to Asia in search of an opportunity to become invincible. In the Shadow Land of Xia Yidong, some people say that he rode his war horse alone into the World Womb Lake in the Dothraki Holy City, and washed away his shame with his life.
Drogo knew this very well. His father's life or death was uncertain, and he definitely did not die in flames.
After being confused for a while, Drogo, who had a headache, chose to put aside these questions that he might never be able to solve in his lifetime. He picked up the arakh scimitar on one side and made "shasha" gestures on the red soil in front of him. When he got up, he felt that the first priority was to worry about the current predicament.
Although this area is only on the edge of a red soil wasteland that is famous for its barrenness, living necessities are very scarce, and it is located on the only way to enter and exit the sea of grass. It is not suitable for long-term living, so it must be relocated.
However, Drogo's subordinates, Kou, Bono and Jako, who were second only to him in status, took away his warriors and herds and established themselves as Khal, which made him feel very discouraged.
Moreover, he fell off the horse in full view of the public, and his long braid, which symbolized invincibility, was also burned by the flames. As the strongest horse king, he lost these two deterrents that were as important as life in the eyes of the Dothraki. He wanted to rely on his former prestige to win over the new king. It is basically impossible to recall the old troops under the leadership.
All these factors undoubtedly made the paths he took forward dangerous.
To the north, you will enter the Dothraki Grass Sea, and any khalasar tribe may kill his almost vulnerable team.
Facing south, they are known as the "Goatmen", and they fight to the death with the Lazarim who are as powerful as the Dothraki.
If you go southeast along the river to Meereen, Yunkai and Astapor and other free trade ports, you will have a high chance of encountering the rebellious Bono and others.
Because those people took away thousands of slaves who originally belonged to him. In order to save food rations, they would definitely take them to Slaver Bay and sell them in exchange for daily necessities.
Drogo looked at the fiery comet that was still wandering in the sky, occupying half of the night sky, completely covering the new moon, as if waiting for Dany to follow with her dragon, and asked in an annoyed voice: "Can we only follow the Weeping Star? Guidance, deep into the terrifying and desolate red earth wasteland?"
After merging the memories of this life, he found that the plot was not much different from the plot in A Song of Ice and Fire. The only differences that appeared were only from his rebirth.
Drogo knows that if he follows the path pointed by the comet, there will be great unexpected gains if he does not seriously deviate from the trend of the novel. However, this path is the rise of Daenerys Targaryen, not his.
Even if you have to leave, you still need to gain some confidence to cope with the crisis.
Due to physical conditions in his previous life, even though he had great ambitions, he was powerless. In this life, he is a tyrant and understands the world better than the average person. He is unwilling to be ordinary. Even if the tiger is defeated, he does not want to be bullied by dogs and be afraid of his hands and feet.
"The giant dragons are still young. Instead of being able to act as a deterrent, they will become prey for the strong. However, the current resources are not enough to support their growth until they are able to fight. It seems that we can only take risks."
Just when Drogo was making plans, a low hissing sound came from the front. Looking up, he found that Dany had withdrawn from the swarm at some point, holding a lion fur under her arm and hanging on her body. Looking at the restless three young dragons, with motherly smiles on their faces, they walked up the low hill looking left and right.
She was reborn like a phoenix rising from the fire. After being baptized by the flames, the bite on her shoulder, and the weakness caused by excessive blood loss, she was miraculously gone. Under the backdrop of the dragon, she looked even more energetic!
Drogo saw her state and looked at her scarless chest, and couldn't help but secretly sigh: "She is indeed the legendary descendant of the true dragon, the direct descendant of Aegon the Conqueror who swept across Westeros in the past! Even
I have all benefited from it. If this miracle had happened in the previous life, the coffins of those deceased scientific greats might not be able to be covered!"
When he focused his attention on the extremely eye-catching white fur coat, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and a strategic outline that could expand his power emerged in his mind.
Seeing that Danni had lost her long hair and beard, her husband, who was still calm and self-confident, stared at her and suddenly fell into deep thought again, and her already uneasy heart became even more uneasy.
The silver-gold hair that reflects the orthodoxy of the Targaryen family was not protected by the blood of the true dragon and had been burned by the flames. As a result, she, who loved beauty, wanted to cover up her shortcomings with a lion fur that could cover her flaws.
But this fur coat was made from the fur of the white lion that Drogo slaughtered during his coming-of-age ceremony. It had great commemorative significance for him. If she made her own decision like this, she wondered if her husband, who she remembered as having a eccentric personality, would be angry?
Dany stopped moving forward, hesitated for a moment, and then asked weakly: "Husband, can I wear this lion fur?"
When Drogo heard this, he realized that he was in a daze, and agreed without thinking: "Of course, my moon."
This woman had an abortion for him and was buried for him. Compared with these feelings, he didn't care at all about a so-called adult gift that could make the beauty hot and cover up her delicate body.
Even though Dany had suffocated him with a pillow when he was in the state of the living dead.
But Drogo understood that Dany, who was desperate at that time, had no choice but to do that for the sake of his dignity.
With permission, Dani regained the innocence and romance that a little girl should have, and ran forward to give him a loving hug, regardless of the three monsters that were in her way.
!
But Drogo waved his hand to stop the impulsive goblin: "Wait, don't step on what I wrote!"
Danni trembled when she heard this, and forcibly stopped her momentum. Kankan paused at the edge of the writing. She looked at the strange words outlined by her husband with the red light of the comet aggrievedly, and said in amazement: "What is this?"
Text? What does it mean? Why can’t I understand it at all?"
What Drogo wrote with his scimitar was profound Chinese characters, but he would not tell his wife, but the content could be revealed.
He stood up and said softly: "I promised to seize the Iron Throne for you, and I will do it. These are the words taught to me by a bard from the country of Jagovin, and they are written about Westeros.
Names of major regions on the list.”
Drogo pointed at the writing with the tip of his knife and moved along with the introduction: "Look, Riverlands·Valley·Iron Islands·Western·Kingdom·Reach·Stormland·Dorne·Northern·Beyond the Wall."
At this point in time, Robert Baratheon, the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the guardian of the entire realm, had been injured by a wild boar and killed by Queen Cersei. With the hand of the king, the former Prime Minister Eddard
·Stark was also beheaded on the order of the new king Joffrey, and the war drum between the North and King's Landing has been beating.
In addition, Robert's two younger brothers, who are the legal heirs to the Iron Throne, and the Greyjoy family of the Iron Islands are also beginning to make plans, and the War of the Five Kings is about to break out!
Knowing this, Drogo didn't want to wait and waited for the best opportunity, because he firmly believed that heroes emerge from troubled times!
He wanted to shine in the rich and colorful Westeros rather than the barbaric land of the Dothraki Great Sea of Grass.
Drogo deeply felt that if no major accidents occurred, the current predicament would be easily solved, and the decision to enter the Land of Eternal Summer could be made in advance.
Dany suddenly felt that the barbarian in front of her was actually very knowledgeable and knew a lot, but he was just too cold and arrogant.
What she wanted in her heart was to follow her second brother's will, avenge her father's eldest brother, repeat the glory of the Targaryen family, and get her husband's prepared promise again. Her eyes were moist, her little chin was shaking slightly, and she said emotionally: "With these three things,
With the help of the magic dragon, I believe you can do it. When will we set out to find a ship to cross the black salty water?"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Drogo felt that she was no longer everything in her heart. There were three more baby dragons, and she couldn't help but feel a little sad for a moment.
But he would not show this emotion, for fear of arousing Dany's grief for her deceased son Rhaegal, so he forced a smile and said: "I have to make some preparations, and then follow the guidance of the Weeping Blood Star and cross the red soil.
Wasteland, head to the bay to prepare ships."
When mentioning this, Dany seemed impatient. Regardless of the treacherous future, she asked, "What preparations are there?"
Drogo did not cherish words as much as before, but he still replied mysteriously: "You will know when the time comes."
Thinking that the man in front of her was still the cold horse king she was familiar with, Dany was sensible enough not to ask any more questions, fearing that he would find her annoying, so she subconsciously changed the subject: "I carefully selected some fresh horse meat, but the young dragon wouldn't eat it.
Do not know what's going on?"
Drogo knew the reason and explained her confusion: "The dragon's flesh and blood is made of fire, and they only eat cooked food."
Dani felt that what her husband said made sense, and suddenly said: "That's it, I'll try it later."
Drogo smiled affirmatively and said, "It will definitely work."
Women's thoughts are always full of poetry. Although dragons are not cute at all, Dany, who regards them as her own, has already thought of a name for the baby dragon. However, she is used to being conquered by Drogo and wants to ask her husband's opinion first.
: "Husband, why don't we give the baby dragon a name?"
Drogo was not surprised by this. These three monsters were a huge dependence on their future rise. Naturally, they could not be careless. He briefly browsed the plot of the novel that was engraved in his mind and copied it with interest: "The green one is named Lei Ge.
The white and gold one is called Viserion, and the black one is called Drogon, what do you think?"
Dani was shocked after hearing this, because the name her husband gave her was exactly what she thought!
The three young dragons huddled on her shoulders were quite intelligent and seemed to be neighing with satisfaction: "Sssssss..."
Drogo saw her expression of disbelief, and he suddenly had a clue in his heart, and quickly continued to explore the limits of her emotions: "The green one is named Lei Ge, in memory of your eldest brother Rhaegar, and our son Rhaegar, white and gold.
To be continued...
