Chapter 281 Return to Summer Hall

In the castle of Midsummer Hall, the five people including the affairs officer Jon Bulwe, Burt Farwell, the chief steward Moose, the intelligence chief Balin, and the blood-armored leader Rosso Brun were called the small cabinet by the people of Midsummer Hall. During the six months when Linde was not in the Summer Hall, their small cabinet implemented some policy decisions for Linde. Only when they encountered decisions and instructions that the five people could not unify their minds, they would send a letter to Na Sa Xing. Linde, asked about the final decision.

"What do you think of the letter sent by Lord Eddard Stark?" In the past six months, Jon gradually felt a little unable to deal with various affairs in the territory of Summer Hall, and the hair on his temples also began to show signs of graying, which made Jon He looked older than Moose, but also a little more majestic.

"How else can we look at it?" Rosso still had a cold look, with a look of disdain in his eyes, and said: "Minister of the Sea, I really don't know if the Duke of Winterfell and Hand of the King has any brains. The prince went to be his subordinate, he really thought the Iron Throne was..."

"Rosuo, you talk too much." Balin interrupted Rosso and said, "Don't forget what the prince said before he left. Summer Hall is part of the Seven Kingdoms and takes orders from the Iron Throne."

Rosso curled his lips and said disapprovingly: "I just think Ed Stark underestimates our prince too much and is just making a fuss!"

Bert suggested: "This invitation letter is for the Prince. We can't make the decision. We should send it to Na Sa Star and let the Prince make the decision!"

"It would be too incompetent for us to let the prince make the decision on such a small matter." Moose, who has always been steady, objected. After all, everyone knows that the actual power of the Minister of Sea Affairs in the entire Imperial Council is very small, not even as good as the Minister of Justice, let alone the Minister of Justice. What's more, the royal fleet does not belong to the Sea Lord. Linde went to King's Landing just to be a mascot decoration. This would be too insulting to their Midsummer Hall.

Jon thought for a while and finally made a decision: "Reject the letter of rejection! Anyway, the prince is on the planet Na Sa. If you use this as a reason, Duke Eddard will not be able to find any fault."

Everyone said nothing after hearing this, and then Rosso brought up another matter for everyone to discuss, saying: "What should we do with the red-robed woman named Melisandre from Dragonstone Island? That woman is very bad. Damn, I feel a little creepy when I look at her. During this period, she has often been in contact with the powerful people in Redemption Town, spreading her belief in the Lord of Light. Although there is nothing wrong for the time being, if things go on like this, there will always be some trouble. Come."

"What did the Redemption Temple say?" Mus asked.

"They didn't take it seriously at all," Rosso said dissatisfied.

Bert said solemnly: "Since the church doesn't take her seriously, let's not worry too much. After all, she is the envoy of the Prince of Dragonstone."

Jon also nodded, agreeing with Bert's approach.

"Record all the people she has come into contact with and check them later." Balin said in a low voice.

"Agreed." Others agreed.

"The next thing is the bribery of the Ridge City garrison commander..." When Mus brought out the matter he wanted to discuss, there were suddenly waves of frightened shouts outside, and several people's expressions suddenly changed and they stood up. He drew his weapon and quickly rushed out of the room and into the courtyard.

At this time, they saw all the servants in the courtyard looking into the sky in panic, and they couldn't help but look up.

However, when they looked up, a powerful roar came from the sky, and then they saw a giant dragon huge enough to fill the entire courtyard gliding through the air.

Those long-winged dragon cavalry who discovered the abnormality in advance and flew into the air to meet the enemy had to avoid the power of the dragon. Although they could still control the sitting long-winged dragon, those long-winged dragons obviously could not Willing to get close to the dragon, just fly around.

"Is this a giant dragon?" Jon said suddenly full of doubts.

Not only Jon, but also other people who have seen the drawings of dragons of the Targaryen family and the sea dragon Glutton are full of the same questions.

Because the giant dragon they saw was so weird. There was no flesh and blood in the entire dragon's body. It was just a layer of dragon skin tightly wrapping the bones. At the same time, the body was covered with cracks. Lava emerged from the cracks and dripped to the ground. In the air, it turned into black smoke and was absorbed back. The most eye-catching thing is the dragon's heart, throat and eyes, all of which are hot lava masses. These lava masses emit a strong light, burning the dragon's body from the inside out. It shines brightly and looks very evil, just like the demons in the seven abyss mentioned in the Temple of the Seven Gods.

Facing such a weird behemoth, no one in the castle thought that the weapons in their hands could resist such a monster, but the guards, including the nuns of salvation and the silent monks, were not timid at all. They all recited the Prayer of the Seven Gods one by one. , holding weapons tightly in his hands, ready for martyrdom at any time.

I saw that the strange giant dragon circled twice in the air and found the large platform where the dragon's nest was located, and landed there. The Sisters of Redemption, the Silent Monk and the Chosen Sons all rushed towards the dragon's nest. Jon and others They were about to go there, but they were stopped by Rosso and Balin. They asked Jon and others to leave immediately in the elevator and go to gather people below. Rosso and Balin found a plane in the warehouse that had been taken from the forging field not long ago. The dragon-hunting crossbow sent over from the side held two special arrows in his hand, and he carried it towards the dragon's nest.

When the two of them arrived at the Dragon's Lair, they saw that the Silent Monks and the Sisters of Redemption had all assembled their weapons and were waiting in formation, while the Chosen Sons also took out their standard crossbows and were ready to attack at any time.

"Spread all out, spread out all! Be careful of the dragon flames!" Rosso reminded everyone loudly and shouted.

After hearing the words, everyone obeyed and spread out to the rocks or walls where they could avoid the dragon flames. As long as the dragon flames fell, they could hide in a relatively safe place. Rosso and Balin quickly found a suitable place to set up a dragon hunting machine. The position of the crossbow was to place the dragon-hunting crossbow on it. Balin grabbed the lever and was ready to pull up the bow string at any time. Rosso also stood at the shooter's position of the dragon-hunting crossbow, holding the special arrow in his hand, ready at any time. aim.

At this time, the giant dragon had also landed on the platform. The platform, which was relatively spacious for the long-winged dragon, seemed a bit narrow for this giant dragon. When it landed on it, half of its body could only hang outside. , only the other half of the body was lying on the platform.

When they saw the giant dragon in the sky, they would already feel how huge it was. Now that the giant dragon landed in front of them, they had a more intuitive feeling of the hugeness. The huge dragon body, which was nearly three stories high, gave them a strong feeling. The sense of oppression, the lava coming out of the cracks on their bodies was not their illusion, but real lava. They could even intuitively feel the burning heat coming to their faces and smell the special smell of lava.

Before the dragon landed on the platform, all the long-winged dragons on the platform that could fly flew away, and those that could not fly were carried into the dragon's nest. Fortunately, there were no unnecessary casualties like last time.

After the giant dragon fell, it did not show any attack momentum. Instead, it lowered its head and spread its wings slightly, forming a slope to the ground. Then everyone saw that they were wearing the armor of the lost knight, carrying the dragon's horn, and wearing Linde, who wielded three swords, stepped off the dragon's back, and at the same time, a mutated two-headed man with a face full of smoke emerged from under the dragon's wings.

The news that the Lord of Summer Hall, the Narrow Sea, the Stepstone Islands, the Holy City of Scourge and its city-state prince, and the prince of Lorne Kingdom, Lynd Terra, had subdued a giant dragon quickly spread throughout Redemption Town, and many people even ran away Go to the place where you can see the castle on the top of the mountain outside Redemption Town, and look at the giant dragon with half of its body outside.

Although Linde has tamed a sea dragon Gluttonous in the past, that dragon stayed in the sea all year round. Even when it came to land, it rested in the dragon's nest managed by the Miracle Temple and rarely appeared in front of people. Most of them People can only see the dragon's back emerging from the water.

This also makes many people think that Sea Dragon Glutton is not a giant dragon, because in their impression, a giant dragon should be able to fly in the air and spit out dragon flames.

However, now they have seen a dragon that can fly in the air. Almost everyone in Redemption Town clearly remembers the shocking feeling when the dragon flew over Redemption Town. At the same time, some people who have read books about dragons also Everyone can see that the dragon that Linde subdued is very unusual. It doesn't feel like a dragon in the conventional sense, but like some kind of magical product.

No matter how weird the dragon that Lind conquered was, it could not be denied that this dragon had an absolute deterrent effect on anyone.

All kinds of relevant news were immediately sent to the hands of the powerful people in the Seven Kingdoms and across the Narrow Sea. At this moment, they were already a little numb to Linde's power. Their moods did not fluctuate much when they saw the news. Some people even take it for granted.

For example, in King's Landing, the city closest to Summerhall, after King Robert saw the news, he threw the news aside and went to a brothel to drink and have fun. On the contrary, Duke Eddard Stark, who he appointed as Prime Minister, was more cautious. As a result, a royal meeting was held. This was also the first time he held a royal meeting after he had just been appointed prime minister.

Unfortunately, they did not discuss a suitable countermeasure at the meeting and could only choose to wait and see. On the contrary, Ed Stark wanted to wait for the situation in King's Landing to stabilize a little before going to Summer Hall and Linde. Meet.

On the other side, Linde, who returned to the Summer Hall Castle, had already finished handling all the difficult government affairs, changed into fresh casual clothes, and through the Winged Dragon Dragoon, he summoned all the magic-related executive-level figures under his command together.

As soon as Moroya and the others arrived at the castle, they saw the giant dragon lying on the dragon's nest platform. They could tell at a glance that this giant dragon was not a dragon in the conventional sense. It had too many traces of magical transformation.

This made them feel itchy, and they all couldn't wait to study the weird dragon on the dragon's nest platform. But even so, they didn't move until they got Linde's permission and waited honestly. In Linde's study.

When Lind came to the study, he directly moved the ancient Valyrian jars that had been unloaded from the dragon's back to the study, and also had some containers made of dragon crystal brought in, and then in front of everyone, Open one of the jars, use telekinesis to grab the parasites stored inside, and stuff them into the dragon crystal containers. It doesn't end until each dragon crystal container has stuffed one such parasite.

Perhaps because they are outside their adapted environment, all parasitic organisms are very sluggish and do not seem to live very long.

Afterwards, Lind took out the core of the parasite from another jar, distributed it, put it on the table, and then said to everyone: "I went to the ruins of Valyria not long ago. These things They were all found in the ruins of Valyria. The creature just now was a creature that appeared after the Valyrian natural disaster. I suspect that it came from the underground. These fingernail-sized stones are the core after their death, and they also contain some magic."

Linde introduced the origin and situation of these things to everyone. Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, because they all knew what the ruins of Valyria were like. It was a hell on earth, and no one who entered it in the past had ever come out. Except for one person, Arya Targaryen.

Moroya quickly thought of something and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't it the parasite that parasitized Aria Targaryen back then?"

Lind nodded and said, "I guess so. These things can parasitize people or other creatures. Neltharion on the dragon nest platform is a giant dragon that mutated after being parasitized by these things. By the way, Neltharion Sarion is the name of this lava dragon."

"It can actually parasitize a dragon and mutate it!"

Everyone was stunned by Lind's words. None of them doubted Lind's words, and they were even more curious about the giant dragon called Neltharion.

"Sir, are these for us to study?" Coburn also pointed to one of the containers containing parasites and asked with excitement.

"Yes, they are all used for your research." Linde nodded and said, "I hope you can produce a result as soon as possible."

Coburn hurriedly asked: "Can I experiment with a living body? Since this kind of thing can be parasitic, then obviously its ability is related to parasitism, so if it can be parasitized on a living body, maybe something useful can be discovered."

Linde was silent for a moment and nodded: "You can use living subjects for experiments, but you still need to apply."

At this time, Ragzi, the director of the Quiet Courtyard, stood up and asked: "Sir Prophet, I just saw a horn in the main hall. Is that the legendary dragon horn that can help the Dragon King tame the dragon?"

"Yes." Lind nodded and said, "I tamed the Neltharion outside with the Dragon's Horn."

"Can we study it?" Maloxin, the high priest of the God of Magic, asked quickly.

Linde gave a positive answer, but the premise is that if they want to study the Dragon's Horn, they can only study it in the castle, and cannot take it to the Black Cave, the Tranquility Court, or the Temple of the God of Magic.

After allocating the research items, Lind let everyone go down, but he stopped Moroya, then took out a few black stones knocked out from the ruins of Valyria, handed them to her, and said: "These The black stone is the meteorite rain that destroyed the ruins of Valyria. It contains a huge amount of magic power. You can study it." As he said that, he moved towards the sisters Ella and Yara, who were always standing aside with their heads lowered. He came over and said: "In addition, I want you to be a teacher for the two of them and teach them magic. Their magic talent may be better than you and me. By the way, her name is Yala, her name is Ella, don't admit it." "
