Chapter 185: Lingol's Expedition (VII) The Land Where the Dragon Fell

On the carriage loaded with goods, a young silver-haired man silently raised his head and looked at the wilderness.

Time has changed so much. The summer wind blows through the fields by the river, causing wheat and weeds to grow here, and completely eradicating the bloody traces of the past.

This was once the battlefield for a decisive battle between the Riverland army and the Western Army. The bloody battle climaxed with two giant dragons dancing wildly in the air, and ended abruptly when the oldest and largest dragon in the world crashed to the ground.

Every Hejian native will sing songs about that battle. Although it is a bit exaggerated, "The Fall of the Dragon", "The Battle of the Dragon King", and "Song of the Red Fork" have indeed become the songs of Hejian in these years. Earth Bard's most popular selections. Especially the few lords who experienced this war.

For example, Benjikou of the Blackwood family had people play "Dragon's Fall", "Song of the Red Fork" and "Bloodthirsty Ben" on his coming-of-age name day. In the end, he even played Marquis Frey wants to repeat the scene again.

Speaking of Lord Forrest Frey.

This brave knight successfully won the respect of the princes of the Riverlands and even most of the established nobles through his outstanding military exploits. When King Jakaris went to the Twins to open a court, Jakaris personally recognized him as Brave Frey. Nicknamed with Knight Frey. Ronzel even pointed at him at the end of that meeting and praised his bravery on the battlefield.

From then on, no one dared to call him "Fool Frey" again.

There are only the nicknames "Frey the Brave" and "Frey the Knight". The Frey family gradually ceased to be the "upstart Frey" in the eyes of the princes, and instead recognized their bravery and good fighting skills.

There is also a poem "The Knight of the Twins" with him as the protagonist circulating in the Riverlands.

The most obvious thing about this is that after the birth of Walder Frey, the eldest son of Marquis Frey, the Mallister family of Seaside City, the old enemy of Twins City, as well as the Piper family and Darry family who once fought alongside them. , the Bracken family sent marriage contracts one after another, and even the princes from the North and the West sent marriage letters.

From then on, Forest Frey and Lady Sutherby became the loyal dogs of Targaryen and Varese. Of course, they are closer to the Varese family.

The silver-haired man looked around here. There was no trace of the dragon battle in this wilderness. Even the place where the dragon fell, they could not find it.

"Master, we have already found the Mudlegs nearby." His slave, the silver-haired warrior, rode beside him in frustration. "More than ten years have passed, and they can't remember where Vhagar fell."

The silver-haired young man glanced coldly at his slave warrior. He came here from the gathering place not only to see the traces of the dragon.

But now that the place where Vhagar fell can’t be found, let’s not talk about other things.

"Forget it, I don't blame you." The young man finally sighed. After staying in Westeros for several years, they gradually no longer treated the slaves as harshly as they once did. After all, in this distant foreign country, it was these slaves who He has always served them without giving up.

These people stay away from home for only one purpose.

dragon.

It doesn't matter whether you ride a dragon yourself or support a lord who can ride a dragon.

Volantis needs dragon knights to prove her legitimacy as the eldest daughter of Valyria. As long as there are dragons, the Tiger Party can change the political situation, and Volantis will be great again.

Ben and Hagen failed.

But those of us haven’t.

The young man clenched his fists.

"Let's transport these goods to Golden Teeth City, and then go south." Seeing that he couldn't find the whereabouts of Vagahar, the young man stopped looking into it and said slowly: "What the guy from the Unebar family said before "Can this route still be used?" The slave warrior said respectfully: "Master, that route has been unavailable for a long time due to the inspection of the Silver Fleet, but recently I heard that the stags in the Stormland are preparing to attack the Stepstone Islands. Take action, and the Silver Fleet's surveillance there has been relaxed."

"I know." The young man suddenly had a bold idea.

other side.

Ringor, who bought the breastplate and shield with two golden dragons, felt that Lei Geng did not really fit in with his original concept, but it was worthwhile to save money when he was away from home.

In particular, who says that a Jinlong with poor quality is not from Jinlong?

Ringo also thinks this view is correct.

He discussed with Rhaegon and Alarion the design to be drawn on the shield.

Three patterns were ultimately determined.

"Hunter, crown and stars?" The blacksmith looked at Ringel with some doubts and provided him with drawing ideas. There will be a three-pointed coat of arms drawn on the shield. A hunter with a bow and arrow on the white base, and a hunter with a bow and arrow on the purple base. A silver crown and a silver-gold star on a black base.

"Sir, I don't have purple dye." The blacksmith scratched his head in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter." Ringol took out a small bottle, "I have it here, but the quality is a little worse. I bought it from the south."

It was indeed bought from the south. They not only bought horses at the Horse Fair, but also added some gadgets, and the bottle of purple dye was one of them.

It is a specialty of Silver Crown City. Of course, the purple dye that is truly regarded as top-grade by the family will not be circulated. Those that can be bought in a market are inferior products, and they cannot be dyed and are considered noble. purple.

The blacksmith smelled it and understood what the dye was. He also guessed about Ringol's identity.

It seems that he is the illegitimate child of the Tully family, or a legitimate child under a pseudonym.

The blacksmith was secretly excited about his own acumen. The children of the Tully family are big customers, especially the current Tully family can be said to be in its heyday. After the Blood Dragon Dance War, the Tully family not only expanded a wave of territory, but also because the women in their family married well. Earl Alan is also a brave general and has now become an important lord in the south.

The main reason is that they have a close relationship with the Vareses family.

Only blacksmiths like us who are around the duke have such knowledge. The blacksmith was secretly proud, and then looked at the other two patterns.

Regen wanted to draw a falcon with a crown. This is easy to understand, after all, his current nickname is Falcon.

Elarion, on the other hand, unabashedly drew two pure white swords, but there are still some differences from the Hoss family.

After all, the Hess family is a long sword.

Forget it, the Hess family is not famous anyway.

"Okay, you can come and get it in about three days." The blacksmith estimated the time, and he wanted to complete this task as quickly as possible.

This is a chance to show off.
