Chapter 277 Precious Magic Spell
Bang bang bang...
After Rega's declaration, tens of thousands of people burst into applause, and cheers and cheers could be heard in half of Dongcheng.
For commoners and slaves.
Even if the Dragon King only agreed to serve as Emperor for a day, he would still be Emperor of Volantis.
In an electoral city-state, the consuls are also elected once a year.
"Before the sun sets today, I will review all matters in Volantis."
Rega struck while the iron was hot and made a promise: "No matter who I meet is high or low, I will investigate and deal with him impartially!"
Hearing this, the commoners and slaves were overjoyed.
They are not powerful people, and they cannot get fair treatment at all in this electoral city-state that claims to be equal.
His Majesty the Emperor said he would deal with the matter impartially, and he would certainly not bend the law for personal gain.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of eager eyes, Rhaegar took a deep breath and pointed his sword at the chained prisoner in the open space.
The red-robed witch's eyes shone brightly and she hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, they are the sinners who destroyed the peace of Volantis. Please conduct the highest trial!"
In the open space, the Party governors and tiger-robed army officers shook their heads repeatedly and shouted in fear.
Unfortunately, a rag was stuffed in his mouth, so he could only make whimpering noises.
Lei Jia looked around at the crowd, the dragon's claws glowed with cold light, and his voice was cold: "I declare that you will be covered in flames!"
Feeling the driver's emotions, the glutton suddenly opened his vertical pupils, and the green pupils flashed with a ferocious color.
A low roar came out from his throat, and his huge body swayed slightly under the support of his wings.
He stood up on his feet and slowly raised his ferocious dragon head.
Rhaegar stood between the curved dragon horns, his silver hair fluttering in the breeze, and said proudly: "Dragon Flame!"
The pure High Valyrian was spoken, echoing in the ears of every Volantis.
The glutton's nose twitched, he opened his black dragon kiss, and roared: "Hiss!"
The strong stench of the dragon's roar made the prisoner unable to stand and fell to the ground rolling around.
Before the screams could be heard, smoke-like green dragon flames followed closely behind.
Zila...
A burst of stinking white smoke came out, and the clearing was burned by the dragon flames, leaving a large charred black pit, leaving only scattered broken bones.
…
The trial ended and an unprecedented grand parade began.
Crowned with the title of emperor, Rhaegar, wearing ripped black robes and a golden crown, walked through the east and west districts of Volantis under the gaze of everyone.
He refused to allow slaves to carry the sedan chair.
The commoners found him a rare mount.
A tall white elephant with a bright white body and a pair of long tusks.
Rhaegar rode on the broad back of a white elephant that paved the red carpet, flanked by a hundred Hands of the Holy Fire.
High above the head, a huge black dragon spread its wings and soared, roaring from time to time, and spraying out a stream of green dragon flames to pierce the blue sky.
Along the way, White Elephant stopped and went, and many civilians, slaves, and businessmen came to him to complain.
An old and frail fisherman was robbed of his fishing boat by bullies, a prostitute was severely beaten by customers while doing business, and a merchant's cargo ship had nowhere to dock after paying taxes...
Rhaegar kept his promise.
Regardless of whether a person is high or low, even a slave or a prostitute, he will judge injustice for them.
During this time, he received many offers.
The most common problems are public security and health issues in Xicheng District.
On the first day Rhaegar entered Volantis, he clearly felt the harsh environment in the western city.
After some thought, Rega made a promise: "I will formulate a rectification plan for Xicheng District. Even if I leave office tomorrow, the new consul will implement it."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
The people who made the suggestion knelt down and expressed their gratitude.
Who doesn’t want to live in an orderly and hygienic environment?
The Dragon King was able to adopt the proposal and ensure the implementation of the plan, which allowed the people to see the wisdom of the Emperor of Volantis.
…
Time is always precious and fleeting.
The sun gradually sets, and the red glow of the setting sun spreads.
The patrol team left Xicheng District and returned to the mouth of the Lorne River near Long Bridge.
Rhaegar rode a tusked white elephant and walked leisurely into the sunset.
His purple eyes were as calm as water, and the corners of his mouth were slightly outlined.
After being emperor for a day, he gained a reputation as a wise and mighty warrior in Volantis.
I think it will greatly improve his reputation among the nine Free Trade Cities.
Behind the white elephant, the red-robed witch followed on a white horse.
In addition to her, there were three other people who were surrounded by the crowd.
The old noble who presented the crown, the fierce young man with the tiger's face, and the handsome middle-aged man with Valyrian features.
These three are the Volantis consuls carefully selected by Rhaegar.
The old nobleman was the representative of the noble power, and he was the one who brokered the agreement with Rhaegar.
The fierce young man is called Teslio, a rising star in the Tiger Pao Army, with outstanding military strength.
Rhaegar selected him as consul, and he immediately joined his army.
The last one is a handsome middle-aged man with a rather special status.
His name was Varos, the third illegitimate son of Senela, the son of the executed Elephant Party consul.
Varos was born as an illegitimate son and did not receive the attention of the consul's father. The relationship between father and son was average.
Therefore, Rhaegar executed the Elephant Party consul and selected him to replace him as the new consul. The other party was extremely grateful.
Without saying a word, he directly swore allegiance.
When the sun completely set, the three consuls of Volantis officially took office.
The old nobles and Teslio are the tiger party, and Varos is the elephant party whose power has been greatly reduced.
This move was also intentional by Rega.
The Tiger Party is closer to the Targaryens and can create greater value.
With Varos stabilizing the remaining forces of the Elephant Party, the old nobles and Tesirion can control the situation in Volantis.
Rhaegar reaped the benefits.
…
The white elephant passed by the noisy port and the team moved forward slowly.
Suddenly, a burst of noise reached my ears.
Rhaegar turned his head and saw a conflict on a ship anchored in the port.
"Trap him quickly, he is infected with greyscale, we can't let him go ashore!"
"Push it into the sea, be careful not to let him touch..."
Hearing about greyscale, Rhaegar raised his eyebrows and said, "Go and see what's going on?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Ten Hands of the Holy Fire ran towards the ship.
The old priest died, and the temple of R'hllor was presided over by the red witch.
The Red Witch seemed to see an opportunity to promote the Lord of Light's faith and strongly supported Rhaegar.
After a while, the hand of the Holy Fire returned.
He also brought back the ship's captain, sailors and a broken black stone tablet.
Through the report from the Hand of the Holy Fire, Rhaegar learned the details.
This is a smuggling ship that experienced a storm half a month ago and mistook the smoke sea far away from the ruins of Valyria.
In the dangerous sea of smoke, an underground cave along the coast was found, and a ruins were discovered.
The broken stone tablet had words engraved on it and they brought it back.
Before he could go deeper, he was besieged by stone people and fled in confusion.
Stonemen refer to monsters who are infected with greyscale, their bodies are covered with sores, and they lose their humanity and sanity.
Several sailors on the ship were scratched by stone people while escaping and were infected with greyscale.
As soon as the smuggling ship docked at the port, the sailor's strange behavior was discovered and he was blocked at sea and not allowed to disembark.
The red-robed witch approached on a white horse and said warily: "Your Majesty, greyscale is very dangerous and should be expelled immediately."
Westeros and Essos share a common approach to greyscale.
Sent to the harsh environment of Yanhai to fend for themselves.
Rega thought for a while and said in deep thought: "Detain him first and send someone to keep him under strict supervision."
With that said, he ordered the hands of the Holy Fire to carry the broken stone tablet closer.
The stele is made of black dragon stone and is in general tatters.
It can be vaguely seen that it is a rectangular stone slab, broken in the middle, and the edges are crushed.
There are a few lines of small words carved on the stone tablet, which are Valyrian fonts.
Rhaegar looked carefully and read silently in his mind: "Beleris...the tower...the lair..."
After years of vicissitudes, the words on the stone tablet have long been blurred, and only a few words can be vaguely recognized.
Seeing the most important word, Rhaegar's expression changed slightly and he said in surprise: "Family Beleris!"
During the Free Fortress period, a total of forty Dragon King families lived on the Fourteenth Fire Peak.
The Belleris family is one of them.
Moreover, this is a Dragon King family with very high overall strength.
It is far richer than the Targaryen family, which ranks in the middle and lower reaches.
Looking around, many people's eyes fell on the stone tablet.
Rega did not want to cause trouble and ordered: "Carry the stone tablet away and I will handle it privately."
This matter concerns the Dragon King family and must be handled with caution.
As it happens, the sun is gradually setting.
Everyone looked up at the sky, feeling mixed emotions of loss, regret, and joy.
Rhaegar is very open-minded and has gained a lot.
Holding on to the title of Emperor of Volantis will only cause more trouble.
…
At night.
Within the black wall is the residence of the former Tiger Party governor.
Now, this place is commandeered by the Dragon King.
In an attic in the courtyard, thick mist steamed out from the cracked window.
The sound of rushing water sounded.
The ripped black robe hangs at the bathroom door, representing the identity of the person inside.
The bathtub is paved with pebbles, flowers and plants are placed in the corners, and the hot water slides down the bamboo tube and flows in the exquisite bathtub.
Rhaegar stripped naked and soaked his whole body in the bath water.
On the edge of the bath, the broken stone tablet lay flat, and the dust on the surface was wiped clean.
Rhaegar rested his head on the edge of the bathtub, his face relaxed and peaceful, and he snored lightly.
After a tiring day and night, it's time to take a rest.
Before I knew it, I lay in the pool and fell asleep.
Her long hair is spread in the water, and she listens to the gurgling water in her ears.
A glass candle was held in the hand resting on his chest.
Even after falling asleep, he didn't forget to explore the relics.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the beep sounded suddenly.
"This exploration is over, please pick up the lost treasures."
Rhaegar was still asleep, frowning slightly, but did not open his eyes.
He was indeed tired, and the sound failed to wake him.
The system panel automatically appears.
[Blood Witch’s Secret Candle]
Exploration progress: 100%
At the same time, a purple ball of light appeared out of thin air and fell on the water.
Rega seemed to sense it, and moved his body, and his arm happened to touch the purple light group.
Wave~
The light group dispersed at the first touch, splashing out little bits of fluorescent light that penetrated into his hand.
"The relic was picked up successfully, under detection..."
"The test was successful and it was determined to be an epic relic, a treasure of the Blood Witch."
The beeps sounded one after another, and Rhaegar unconsciously covered his ears, immersed in sleep and unwilling to extricate himself.
The glass candle was in my hand and pressed to my ear.
The system prompt sounded again.
"Congratulations, the blood witch's treasure has been activated, you have obtained..."
