Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

Chapter 272: Legend of the Savage Land

The blazing sunlight beat hard on the calm and windless sea, but it could not stir up a single wave. Only when the dark green dragon shadow passed through the endless deep blue would it stir up a little wave. Even the big fish that often appeared in this sea area on weekdays had to fly far to find.

The long summer brought a good harvest, and also brought love for the windless time of the summer sea.

Sendrolos roared across the sea, and his wings gently slid into the water. When passing the "Explorer", the dragon wings rose, stirring up a splash of water, allowing the naked sailors on the deck to enjoy a rare coolness - it was a pity that they had to endure salt stains. After all, fresh water in summer is very precious. After sailing, in such weather, the fresh water stored in the cabin rotted quickly. If it weren't for Captain Misanben's rich experience and the Explorer equipped with long oars and small boats.

I'm afraid the situation would be worse.

Fortunately, the dragon does not need to consume fresh water.

Sentros roared and landed on the open space cleared for it at the stern of the big ship. The ferocious dragon resisted the urge to spit fire. After all, Sentros knew that it was not stone under its feet, but fragile wood. If it ignited the wood under its feet, its companions would be very sad.

So Sentros lazily stuffed his head into the butterfly-patterned wings, out of sight, out of mind.

Dan climbed down from the dragon saddle tiredly, took the rum handed over by his guard, and took a sip. Although he was used to it, he still frowned a little uncomfortably because he didn't like drinking since he was a child.

"Captain Missanben, we are heading in the right direction." Dan swallowed the wine full of dregs in his mouth and said excitedly: "At our current speed, we can reach the Island of Tears in three days."

"Your Highness, there are still bandits gathering on the Island of Tears, it is not safe there." Missanben said subconsciously. His plan is to send a small boat to the pirate town on the Island of Tears to buy supplies, and then they will set off immediately to the colonial town in the north of Sothoros.

After the Doomsday Catastrophe, the colonies of the Valyrian Freehold in Sothoros collapsed one after another due to natural disasters or diseases. High Gothos, which was once full of blood magic, and those large colonial towns collapsed into ruins, but on their ruins, greedy people still built towns made of mud and blood. People went deep into the rainforest, hunting pterosaurs, striped people, snake lizards, giant lizards, apes, and those legendary monsters, looking for treasures left over from ancient times-it is said that someone really found the Golden Lake guarded by lizardmen in the depths of the rainforest, but it is just a legend.

At least the scholars of the Citadel and the monks of many gods' temples do not admit this.

These small mud-blood towns worship power and money. Misanben conquered one of the port towns with money and the military force of the Vareses family.

His plan was to disembark there, hire hunters, guides, and mercenaries, and then go deep into the unknown rainforest.

"With the dragon, everywhere is safe." Dan was quite confident about this: "The pirates of Tear Island cannot be unfamiliar with this flag and murder the descendants of the silver dragon in front of it." The young silver dragon bloodline suddenly laughed out loud: "Even the pirate kings of the Stone Steps Islands did not dare to do so. But you are right, Captain, we should be cautious."

Misanben nodded and asked the rowers to take a break.

There will be wind at night, and the speed of the big sailboat will be much faster at that time. With the help of the oars, it can shorten a lot of time.

Dan sat next to Sendroth and ate his hard bread quietly.

They will speed up tonight with the wind and try to get to Tear Island for supplies in advance.

Tear Island

This island is named after its tear-like shape. During the Valyrian Free Fortress period, the dragon kings built a huge city called "Golgothos" on the basis of the ancient Ghis Empire's colonial city "Golgor" - a place of exile. They transported slaves here and handed them over to the blood witches and warlocks in the deep pit. They conducted evil experiments that the gods despised in the dungeons and bloody pits of Gaogothos.

So shortly after the Doomsday Catastrophe, Gaogothos, which was once prosperous due to slave trade and magic - some people even called it the "tenth free trade city-state", suddenly fell.

The deadly Red Death killed 90% of the population of the Lizard Islands, and Gaogothos was destroyed and never rebuilt. After that, all the towns built were simple and shabby, and they no longer had the glory of the past.

In the taverns built with mud and wood mixed with red paint, scum from all over the world gathered on this prison island that was once the Dragon King's Gate, drinking and talking, then robbing houses, or going to the south to try their luck.

In the corner, a young figure huddled in a black robe, trying to hide himself in the darkness of the corner of the tavern.

Although Huo Huo knew the smell of Cendroth, it was limited to recognition. After all, Huo Huo had not returned to the dragon cave in Dragon Nest City for many years, so Beile did not find his uncle's ship and dragon, but arrived at the Island of Tears in advance.

Here is the largest town in the Lizard Islands, and his uncle's ship must be replenished here.

Beile quickly realized this logic, so after exploring the Island of Tears alone for a few days, he told Huo Huo to hide himself and sneaked into the town quietly.

As a noble, although he was still a big boy in age, he was no worse than many adult civilians in terms of height. Beile hid the sharp dagger under the black robe. He observed for a few days and learned a lot about the Island of Tears, which enabled him to buy food and unadulterated wine with a fluent common language.

Of course, being able to buy the latter depends on the sword.

"Boy, your wine." The tavern owner, who was missing half of his teeth, spat and smashed a dirty-looking glass bottle in front of Belle. Belle withdrew his hand from the table, leaving behind a round silver coin.

The prices here are weird, but Baylor decided to use money to buy peace.

The boss picked up the silver coin, looked at it, took a bite, and suddenly sat down next to Baylor mysteriously. He tried to see Baylor's face under the black robe, but found that the boy also wore a mask, so he had to whisper in disappointment: " Where did you get such fine Westeros silver?"

Belle remained silent, just staring at the dirty bottle of wine.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

"Oh, don't dislike it. At least this bottle of wine has not been opened." The boss whispered: "There are not many people on the Isle of Tears who can produce Westeros silver coins of such high purity. Are you from the conquered land?"

The face under Baylor's mask couldn't help but frown, and he lowered his voice and said, "Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you have to say."

"Don't be so disrespectful, friend." The boss understood the meaning of Baylor's words, but his attitude did not change: "The gold and silver coins of Westeros are hard currency here. If you can get the purity, then Okay, I have a way to get you some rare stuff from the south."

Belle silently took out the knife, opened the seal of the wine bottle, and smelled it gently.

It's not bad. It's considered to be a relatively good quality Qingting Island gold wine, but it's not well preserved and not as good as the one in the palace.

"Not interested."

Before Baylor finished speaking, a strong man who was drinking next to him stood up and slapped the table. He had a big belly with more than a dozen crooked scars on it, which was very scary. It was obvious that he and his boss were in league with each other.

"Don't be so shameless!"

He stretched out his hand to grab Baile's robe.

Blood splattered everywhere.
