Chapter 56 News from the Expedition Team
Boris continued: "My lord, there is one more thing. The envoy sent to Braavos has returned."
Upon hearing this, Gavin leaned forward eagerly and asked, "How about it? Will the Sea King sell me the Valyrian steel sword?"
Boris looked embarrassed and replied hesitantly: "The messenger said that Neptune refused. However, Neptune said that he would like to invite you to Braavos as a guest. If you like, you can visit Neptune's treasure house there, but the things in the treasure house Not for sale at all.”
After hearing this, Gavin frowned tightly, his eyes showing a hint of displeasure and disappointment. He slowly leaned back on the chair, crossed his arms on his chest, and after a moment of silence said: "The Sea King of Braavos is really incapable of getting in." Boris lowered his head aside, not daring to express his anger. .
Gavin gritted his teeth and continued: "Forget it, ignore him for now, Boris, regarding personnel allocation, I will weigh the situation of each island and try to meet your needs, but you must also find ways to improve efficiency. , we cannot rely solely on increasing manpower.”
Boris nodded quickly and responded: "Thank you, sir, I will do my best." Gavin waved his hand, signaling Boris to step aside first. After Boris saluted again, he turned and left the study.
Gavin sat on the chair, lost in thought, thinking to himself: Neptune is not selling now because he is not strong enough. If one day his fleet becomes so powerful that even the King of the Sea is afraid of it, I don’t believe he would dare not sell it.
Thinking of this, Gavin became more determined to explore Valyria. The dragon eggs were more attractive than the fleet.
Gavin has also tried to acquire dragon eggs over the years, but he was lucky enough to acquire two fossilized dragon eggs that had lost their vitality. As for the dragon eggs obtained by Illyrio, the spies sent by Gavin have been keeping an eye on them, but they have not found anything yet. .
It's not sure whether he hasn't obtained the dragon egg yet, or whether he has hidden the dragon egg too deeply. If the former acts rashly, he may lose the trace of the dragon egg. Currently, Gavin can only wait.
During the following period, Gavin took the Edmund family to enjoy the entire Stepped Stone Islands and appreciate the unique scenery of each island.
Until the day they were sent to the boat for their return journey, both of them seemed reluctant to leave at the dock. Edmund looked at Gavin in front of him, his eyes full of deep concern and deep reluctance: "Gavin, you must take good care of yourself. Now that you have a huge territory, you must remember to get married as soon as possible and give birth to a child. Heir, only in this way can we strengthen the hearts of our subordinates." Gavin nodded firmly and said firmly, "Don't worry, uncle, I know what's going on."
Afterwards, the Edmund family boarded the ship. When the ship slowly sailed away from the dock and gradually moved away, Gavin still stood there, staring at the direction of the ship for a long time, and the sea breeze gently brushed his face. His thoughts also drifted away.
A month later, Hassan hurried to Gavin's study, and Gavin finally received the news he had been waiting for.
Hassan Hui reported: "Sir, the expedition team hired before has returned."
Gavin looked stern and asked eagerly: "How is the situation?"
Hassan said solemnly: "Sir, the channel map you gave is correct. Ships can indeed sail in without any hindrance, but it is very dangerous in the sea of smoke.
After the ship entered the ruins of Valyria, the people on the ship began to fall ill for no reason. Their skin first became red, swollen and itchy, and then ulcerated and pus and blood oozed out. A lot of hair fell out, she was extremely depressed, her body became increasingly weak, and she often vomited.
And the people who came back reported that they heard some strange roars from the shore, and they didn't know what kind of monster they were in the fog.
There were 40 members of the expedition, including crew, and only 15 returned alive.
Nowadays, several of these 15 people are seriously ill. The people who stayed on the ship heard that the people who came ashore seemed to be attacked by some creature. In the end, no one returned after waiting for a day. They had no choice but to return. "
Gavin frowned, thought for a moment and then said: "I know, since there is no problem with the waterway, prepare the manpower and ships."
Hassan looked worried and persuaded: "Sir, can you not go on an adventure? The Stepped Stone Islands cannot live without you now."
Gavin smiled slightly and comforted: "It's okay. You forgot that I can do magic. The things inside do not pose a threat to me."
Hassan said eagerly: "My lord, please let me go with you."
Gavin shook his head and refused: "You can't do it, you still have to be responsible for controlling the fleet. There is news that the Sannjia tribe has gathered more than forty warships in Reese. Although they are all old longships, But it's better to be careful. You must keep an eye on them. After I leave, the security of the territory will be left to you." Then, without waiting for a word, Hassan ordered: "Go and arrange the ship. We will set off in two days. ”
Watching Hassan leave, Gavin thought to himself: With his current strength, there shouldn't be much danger in exploring the dragon lair of the Beleris family.
The channel marked on the channel map obtained before can just sail to the coast closest to the dragon's lair. As long as we get off the boat at that location, we will only be two days away from the dragon's lair in Belerys. Gavin plans to explore this expedition. With only his own Blood Dragon Guard, once he lands on the land of Valyria, he can ride his horse and gallop through the starry night, and he can reach his destination in one day. He opened the panel and looked at it.
Host: Gavin Belleris

Blood and Fire Dragonborn (development 63%): Dragon King bloodline, dragon control and flame control, flame resistance.

63/63 (your subordinates can be upgraded through the panel)
53 Primary Blood Dragon Guard (Blood Witch Puppet made with Dragonborn bloodline can be advanced twice)

Skills:
Flame Control: Legendary
Swordsmanship: Legendary

Gavin looked at the panel and thought: With these advanced Blood Dragon Guards in hand, I should be able to deal with most dangers. In the past two years, Gavin has obtained a lot of dragon bones through Littlefinger Petyr, and his strength has been greatly enhanced.
As his bloodline development exceeded 60%, some of his skills were also unlocked to the legendary level, and the corresponding flame control was upgraded to flame control. When his bloodline development reached 60%, he gained the ability of flame resistance, which made him extremely immune to high temperatures and magical flames.
Now Gavin can easily defeat hundreds of people with just a long sword, and his strength doubled after using the Flame Blade.
