Chapter 296 Old Father’s Mistake
Viserys was stunned when he heard this and looked at his eldest son in surprise.
After taking a closer look, I realized that the eldest son was no joke.
Viserys dropped his smile and was stunned.
Ever thought about taming a dragon again?
Viserys already knew the answer in his heart: "Of course!"
You know, the first time he trained a dragon, he chose the oldest and largest legendary dragon at the time - Balerion, the Black Death.
This determination to pursue the strongest is enough to show his pride and boldness in his youth.
Unfortunately, his journey to taming a dragon is very similar to his journey to being elected heir to the Iron Throne.
They all took shortcuts and laid hidden dangers.
Balerion was then over two hundred years old and already very old.
This kind of aging is not the senility of Vhagar, but the afterglow of the sunset on the verge of death.
Too weak, Balerion resisted all orders and feedings from the draconians.
No one wants to, or can, go to it and try to tame it.
Until one day, this legendary dragon met the young Viserys in the dragon's lair.
Maybe Balerion saw something in Viserys.
Or maybe this giant dragon that has been fighting for a lifetime wants to soar into the sky again.
One person and one dragon got it right and established a preliminary bond.
Balerion was not easy to wake up at that time, and Viserys urged it to rise into the sky quickly. It struggled hard and spread its wings to fly.
In Balerion's final days, they soared three times around King's Landing.
Viserys revealed that he once wanted to fly Balerion back to Dragonstone and let him die there.
However, this old dragon was no longer able to fly long distances, so it could only carry the driver for one last flight, and died in the dragon's lair half a year later.
As scenes from the past flashed through his mind, Viserys shook his head and laughed: "Training a dragon is not child's play. I am not suitable to be a dragon controller at my age."
Training a dragon is a dangerous thing.
In times of peace, even if Viserys wanted to tame a dragon, the Council would not agree.
If the tamed dragon goes mad, their king will be buried in the dragon's belly.
"Father, when I was traveling in Volantis, I found a dragon-taming secret technique unique to the top dragon king family."
Rhaegar looked serious and spoke the forbidden curse of House Belerys.
During this period, the journey and danger were hidden in the sea of smoke, and turned into a chance.
Viserys was in a fog, his face and eyes changing constantly, staring sharply at his eldest son.
It wasn't until Rhaegar finished speaking that the accumulated emotions suddenly burst out.
He grabbed the eldest son's hand and couldn't suppress the anger in his voice: "Rhaega, tell your father frankly, have you entered dangerous places that you shouldn't have entered, and taken risks that you shouldn't have taken!?"
He didn't believe a word of the so-called "coincidence of origins".
The Belerys family was a famous dragon king family during the Free Fortress period, and Targaryen could only hold it back.
How could the inherited knowledge of such a top Dragon King family be exposed so easily.
Considering Rhaegar was almost missing for a month in Volantis, he could only think of the Sea of Smoke and the ruins of Valyria.
Rega's eyes flashed when his father suddenly asked him, and he did not dare to speak rashly.
At this time, Viserys changed from his usual carelessness, and he could see every tiny detail.
Turning to look at her daughter beside her, she said sternly: "Rhaenyra, do you know anything?"
As their father, Viserys knew only too well the close relationship between Rhaegar and Rhaenyra.
Rhaegar would hide almost nothing from Rhaenyra.
Rhaenyra was speechless, not daring to look directly at her father.
"Father, don't embarrass Rhaenyra. It was my decision privately."
Knowing that he could not avoid questioning, Rhaegar chose to confess and admit it openly.
Under his father's gaze, he erased his dangerous experiences and briefly recounted his trip to the Sea of Smoke.
Viserys listened angrily.
The danger had been eliminated, but he still felt extremely dangerous.
Pointing at the eldest son's head, he cursed for a whole hour.
For a moment, the palace echoed with the king's furious curses.
Rhaegar was scolded so much that he wanted to shrink his face into Rhaenyra's arms.
As an accomplice, Rhaenyra was also implicated and scolded, and she had no time to take care of herself.
Until the scolding made Viserys' mouth dry and his voice hoarse, he could no longer stop training.
He was really pissed off by his eldest son.
In a place like Yanhai, if a thousand people enter, not one of them can come out.
He has not yet thought about losing his eldest son and changing to another heir.
After calming down for a while and drinking the water that Rhaenyra handed him, Viserys cleared his throat and his anger subsided slightly.
Rhaegar glanced at the attentive Rhaenyra and gritted his teeth with hatred.
When your father is tired of scolding you, just let him rest for a while.
Noticing the change in his eldest son's expression, Visery snorted coldly and looked closely.
Thinking that he would be scolded again, Lei Jia kept his head down and did not dare to say anything.
My father's dubious inquiry came to my ears: "Can the forbidden curse really help to train dragons?"
Rhaegar quietly raised his head and observed his father's facial expression.
"Stop looking and answer my question."
Viserys had a gloomy look on his face and repeated the question: "Have you learned the secret technique of training a dragon? Are you sure you can successfully train a dragon?"
Rhaegar pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I'm not sure, dragons have wisdom no less than that of humans, and they will also choose their driver. The ban on magic spells only provides a layer of protection."
If he had the "Flying Charm" in his hand, he would be 30% sure of how to train a dragon.
The forbidden spell is a pacification system, which can at most reduce the ferocity of the dragon and prevent it from being burned by a puff of dragon flame.
Hearing this, Viserys felt a big stone fall in his heart and said happily: "That's good. The higher the requirements for dragon training, the more stable the family's status will be."
The Targaryens are the only remaining dragon king family, and dragons are the solid foundation.
It's definitely not a good thing if you can safely tame a dragon with just one spell.
If one day the spell is leaked, those Targaryen bastards and the remnants of the Dragon King's bloodline will take advantage of the opportunity and steal the dragons from Dragonstone.
Viserys trembled, looked at Rhaenyra, and asked, "Are there enough dragonflights and dragonguards on Dragonstone?"
Rhaenyra nodded lightly: "No problem, there are dragon guards patrolling near Longshan at all times, no one can get close there."
Since the situation where the dragons were bribed, the dragons and Dragon Guards on Dragonstone Island have been purged and strictly carried out their tasks.
Viserys was completely reassured and couldn't help but think about what his eldest son had said about dragon training.
After some hesitation, he found a topic to continue: "I remember... there are three dragons on Dragonstone Island?"
Rhaegar's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "Yes! Wormisor, Silver Wing, and Sheep Stealer."
At the end, as if he just remembered it, he added: "After the hunt in the Kingswood, I promised to take Aemond to Dragonstone to train the dragon."
"If these three dragons are not selected, you can retrieve the gray shadow of Qianmian Island."
This leaves four dragons to choose from.
Viserys coughed lightly, ignoring the teasing meaning in his eldest son's words, and said seriously: "Training the dragon is a matter of great importance, I will consider it carefully."
Rhaegar lowered his head and pursed his lips to suppress his smile.
He knew that no one could resist the temptation of taming a dragon.
Leaving his father alone with his thoughts, Rhaegar called Rhaenyra and fled in a hurry.
Being scolded so hard tonight, the siblings didn't want to stay even for a moment.
…
The white horse has passed, and a month has passed.
Outside King's Landing, on the Kingdom Avenue leading to the Royal Forest, a white luxury carriage drove slowly.
In front, there were white-robed Kingsguards riding horses to clear the way, followed by cavalry holding three red dragon banners in the rear.
In the carriage, Viserys was wearing a black cloak and said in high spirits: "Isn't this great? Let's go to the Kingswood to celebrate and have adventures as a family?"
He sat on the couch on the left side of the carriage, with a sleepy Aegon on his right hand near the carriage and a neatly dressed Helena on his left.
Allison sat on the inside facing the car door, with young Darren lying next to him.
Rhaegar and Rhaenyra naturally sat on the remaining right side, with a taciturn Aemond squeezed inside.
After hearing their father's question, the six children remained silent, and no one responded.
The scene was deserted for a while.
Rhaegar bumped Rhaenyra with his shoulder, and the siblings snickered to themselves.
In the end, Allison showed the qualities that a good wife and mother should have, and said gently: "Very good, we haven't been to the Royal Forest for a long time."
Clang——
As soon as the words were spoken, the wheel rolled over a stone and the car body shook violently.
Allison sat unsteadily, his shoulders covered in light red fox fur trembled, and he hugged Darren tightly who was lying on his lap.
"Pfft..." Aegon couldn't hold back his laughter and quickly covered his mouth.
Seeing this, Viserys smiled bitterly and shut up lonely.
There's a reason why he ended up in this situation.
The way to the royal forest was represented by the eldest son Rhaegar, and several children unanimously agreed to ride the dragon.
Even Aemond, who has no dragon, wants to ride on Sunfire and soar into the sky with Aegon.
This proposal was strongly opposed by Viserys, who was paranoid that hunting in the Kingswood should be on horseback, and used his vote to say otherwise.
Therefore, the dignified dragon masters were crowded into a fairly spacious carriage.
"Hiss-"
The loud neigh of the glutton rang out, echoing in the sky not far from the carriage.
Emond cheered up and quickly opened the curtains, looking out at the scene outside the carriage.
In the blue sky, several dragons of different sizes spread their wings and soared.
The jet-black gluttons took the lead, and the golden Syracuse and Yangyan played with each other, chasing behind the jet-black dragon.
call--
A light blue dragon shadow flashed past, it was the shapely female dragon Meng Huo.
"Hiss..."
Theselion, who was dark blue with copper-colored scales, hung far behind, screaming and struggling to catch up.
Emond's eyes were full of envy and he murmured to himself: "So beautiful!"
At the old father's request, a group of dragon masters lost the opportunity to fly with dragons.
But how could Rhaegar give up so easily.
He secretly released several dragons from the dragon's lair, guarded the driver, and followed the carriage to the royal forest.
Viserys clicked his tongue in emotion when he heard the dragon roar.
With the dragon, the children began to rebel against their old father's orders.
Rhaegar glanced at the outside world through the window and said to his father with a smile: "Father, this hunting in the Kingswood is to defeat the nobles of the Stormlands. How can we not bring a dragon with us?"
Helena was the first to respond, her head with a ball head moving continuously.
She didn't want to be squeezed into the carriage. It would be a waste not to ride the dragon.
"Yes, Rhaegar is right."
Aegon raised his hand and joined in without taking it too seriously.
Even Darren, who was lying on Allison's lap and was drowsy, opened his eyes and hummed in cooperation.
He is young and does not usually have the opportunity to ride a dragon.
It was not easy for him to travel with his brother and sister on a dragon ride, but was rejected by his father.
