Chapter 161 Is your dragon just for show?

"Is your dragon just a decoration?"

A simple sentence in High Valyrian immediately stunned the young Ringol. It took him a long time to realize what his father meant, and he jumped up from his father's arms. At that time, the boy was stuttering and speechless.

"Father, dragon, that's not how dragons are used, right?"

Long Zell smiled and took his son back into his arms: "Dragon is our partner, not our tool." Wormisor seemed to feel something and snorted softly, causing Long Zell to score again. He held out a hand to comfort his partner: "What did you just think of, Ringor?"

"Blood and fire." Ringor said blankly: "Father, you don't want me to ride a dragon and burn those moths to death. But..."

"Dragon is a weapon, a deterrent, our family and partner, but it is not limited to that." Longzell explained with a smile: "In the history of Westeros, people lived in the most stable and prosperous era. During the reign of King Jaehaerys I, the scars caused by King Maegor gradually healed, the old system was abolished, and the commoners gained more rights. To this day, when people praise Xiaojie, they still compare him to Jaehaerys. Bi, do you know why?"

Ringor thought for a while and murmured: "Brother Jaehaerys is the same as King Jaehaerys. They both like to be on the road rather than in castles and palaces."

"The dragon's weapons are not only dragon flames and fangs, but also its wings." Long Zell was very satisfied with his son's acumen. This is indeed the case. The value of the dragon lies not only in its ability to destroy heaven and earth, but also in its ability to destroy heaven and earth. With it, its rider can get from one place to another in a very short time.

"Lingol, you will take over my position in the future." Long Zell sighed: "I will also take you to fly more in our territory in the future. When you suddenly arrive at a place riding a dragon, Only then can you see and hear the real situation and solve it." He slowly explained to his son the meaning of the dragon. It is true that the dragon can burn disloyal and greedy people to death with dragon flames, but that It is essentially tyranny. And if Ringor is willing to ride a dragon and raid the territory from time to time, then even if he has to pretend, those who try to take advantage of the rules or break the rules must pretend well. This is another meaning of dragon.

So during the years when Jaehaerys I and Queen Alysanne flew to various parts of the kingdom, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the nobles did not dare to make trouble. When Jaehaerys flew to various places to mend his wounds, nobles from all over the world were also on both sides. Under the pressure of the dragon, he was forced to distribute his rights to the people. However, Jakaris still has Jaehaerys's demeanor. When he solves the problems of the common people, he will not force the nobles to give up too much. This also made the nobles quite convinced of Jakaris. Until now, Jakaris has been called the wise king in the history of the Targaryen family together with Jaehaerys.

Ringor nodded as if understanding, looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, and fell asleep in his father's arms unknowingly. Long Zell, on the other hand, had been looking at the twinkling stars in the sky, wondering what he was thinking. What.

Vale, Gates of the Moon.

Edric Arryn looked unconvinced at Joffrey Arryn and the heavily armed Cohen Corbray and Artis Royce in front of him. The defeated golden eagle was tied up with a thick rope. He is a strong man and does not care at all about his status as a nobleman and a relative of the Duke.

"Joffrey, what do you mean!" Edric Arryn shouted: "You have no right to arrest me, I want to see Lady Jeyne!"

"Edric." Attis Royce said calmly: "The faceless man you hired has been killed." He looked at the shadow of the castle with some vigilance, as if there was something hidden there. Attis felt the temperature of the bronze rune armor on his body, and then said: "What else do you have to say? Murdering the lord and the lord's legal heir is already a major crime of treason!"

"Attis, you fart!" Edric was a little panicked. How did this young Earl of Runestone City know about his hiring of the Faceless Men? You know, he had always done this in secret, even if The Arryn family's property in Seagull Town was sold to raise money, and it was also done through the Iron Treasury in Braavos under the guise of overseas trade. "Seven hells, Lady Jane is a relative of mine, how could I murder him."

"Really?" Attis Royce squatted down, and Cohen Corbray on the side pulled out the Valyrian steel sword "Lady of Silence" expressionlessly and placed it on Edric's neck. . He was so frightened that he didn't dare to move.

Artis Royce can't believe what his eyes saw to this day.

That was what happened a few days ago. The valley was the first place where the Andals landed. The land in the mountains here is fertile and the water and grass are abundant. Since the Age of Heroes, the kings who fought here have established a great reputation for bravery until The Andals came from the east. The Royce family of the Bronze King, the High King of the Valley, the Moon Mountains and the Five Fingers Peninsula were still at war with the Andals for many years. They were just defeated by "Falcon Knight" Attis Ai in the Battle of the Seven Stars. After Lin's defeat, the proud ancestors of the valley either surrendered under the Crescent Falcon banner of the Arryn family, or fled into the Mingyue Mountains, where they thrived and became the biggest problem in the valley for thousands of years - the Alpine clan tribe. Over thousands of years, countless men of the Arryn family have lost their lives to the stone spears and bone swords of these savages. Even the father and brother of Duchess Jeyne Arryn died at their hands.

A few days ago, it was these mountain clans that started the rebellion again. Duchess Jeyne went to the battlefield to supervise the battle, but was assassinated. A wild man threw a fatal javelin at her, but unfortunately, the wild man was killed before the javelin hit the duchess, so the javelin naturally did not hit the duchess.

At first, Artis and Joffrey thought it was just an accident, until a knight changed his face in front of them and told them the truth, they knew what happened.

The damned wild man was a faceless man. He had been lurking in the valley for a long time, just to cleverly disguise himself as a wild man and kill Duchess Jeyne and complete his assassination mission.

Unfortunately, with the assistance of two faceless men sent by Longzel who were about to become apprentices and assistants of Kungur Porter, Duchess Jeyne finally survived. Edric Arryn was the biggest suspect, and his colleagues reported that his family had a large amount of money outflow.

Who else could it be? It's you, Edric.

Edric still wanted to quibble, but it was too late. Although people had evidence against him, it didn't matter whether there was evidence or not in this situation.

What was important was that after Duchess Jenny, the succession issue of the valley was completely resolved.

So Edric had to die.

Cohen Corbray cut off the head without hesitation, without even a trace of hesitation, and a complete head rolled in front of Joffrey Arryn.

"My lady can't bear to see this." Joffrey shook his head, indicating that he didn't need to see this thing. He looked directly at Earl Artis Royce: "Lord Artis, what did Prince Longzel ask for?"
