Game of Thrones: I became a crown prince for a day

"The corpses were carefully searched and burned uniformly."

Rhaegar's face was calm, and he waved his sword to shake off the blood stains.

The mercenaries were quick with their hands and feet, and they stripped the corpses of several Shadowbinders cleanly, leaving no masks or black robes left.

Robert pulled at the pile of dragon dung and said excitedly: "Sir, there are so many dragon eggs here!"

Rhaegar picked up a dusty dragon egg and inspected it. He regretfully said, "This is a dead egg that has been piled up and turned into a fossil."

I reached out and knocked, but there was no clear and pleasant sound like normal dragon egg scales.

Instead, there was a muffled sound like banging a stone.

Robert's face fell and he kept moving his hands.

Pieces of dragon dung were scattered everywhere, and five inactive dragon egg fossils of different colors were unearthed.

Rhaegar checked them one by one and compared them with the dragon eggs on Dragonstone.

Looking at these dragon egg fossils, he was certain that this ruin was one of the dragon lairs of the Beleris family.

I just don’t know if there is any difference between Belerys and the Targaryen dragon eggs.

Just as he was thinking about it, Robert suddenly exclaimed: "Sir, there is a vacancy here, and there is a dragon egg missing from the dragon dung!"

Rega's heart tightened and he asked, "What's going on?"

A tattered pile of dragon dung that had been struck.

The aged dragon dung is so strong that every dragon egg hidden in it leaves a hole.

Robert groped the dragon dung pile without any disdain and muttered: "One, two..."

He touched a total of six potholes of similar size, but only unearthed five dragon eggs at his feet.

Robert said carefully: "Sir, there should be a dragon egg here."

Rhaegar was not lacking in caution. He thought of the killed Shadowbinder and questioned, "The Shadowbinder has accomplices."

"Sir, we found a flower!"

The mercenary who handled the corpse hesitated to report.

"Search carefully to see if there are any hidden dragon eggs."

Rega gave instructions, put the five dragon egg fossils into the space bracelet, and turned towards the mercenaries.

Dragons are the mainstay of the Targaryens.

Even if it is just a few dragon egg fossils, he will not allow them to escape.

Walking to the pile of Shadowbinder's corpses, the mercenaries formed a circle and hesitated to burn the corpses with torches.

A squad leader held a faint blue wilted flower in his hand.

This flower has seven petals, a purple stamen, and a soft stem wrapped in dark leaves.

"orchid?"

Rhaegar recognized it at a glance as an orchid of a species he had never seen before.

The team leader hesitated for a moment and said, "If I read it correctly, it should be the Resurrection Orchid, which can be sold for some money in Volantis."

Rega's eyes brightened when he heard this, finally receiving good news.

He carefully took the Resurrection Orchid and said with a smile: "Well done, these flowers will bring you wealth."

As he spoke, he lowered his head and sniffed the almost withered Resurrection Orchid.

Light fragrance, elegant, and a refreshing feeling.

A flavor with the fragrance developed by Daniela.

Hearing that there was money for it, the team leader hurriedly took out a piece of parchment from the Shadowbinder's black robe and said excitedly: "Sir, look at the things on this paper. Is there any use for it?"

"You are quite clever."

Rhaegar chuckled, took the yellowed parchment and looked at it a few times.

"Sir, how are you?" the team leader asked expectantly.

Rhaegar read the few lines of small characters on the parchment twice and frowned: "This is not Common Language or Valyrian. I can't recognize it."

He knew several widely circulated scripts.

But it’s not limited to weird, intricate fonts on parchment.

Robert stepped forward to take a look and scratched his head: "Sir, this seems to be an ancient text written by Yashai."

"Do you know him?" Rega turned around in surprise, not realizing that this old sailor was quite knowledgeable.

"No, no, no, I don't even know my native Valyrian."

Robert shook his head repeatedly and said embarrassedly: "One of my former captains was an Asshai, and I have seen some similar symbols on his ship."

"Forget it, let's find someone to translate when we get out."

Rhaegar didn't hesitate too much and put away the Resurrection Orchid and parchment.

The Resurrection Orchid is a good thing, it can nourish the depleted spiritual power, and it is a rare treasure for him and his family.

After personally burning the corpses of several Shadowbinders to pay the price, and sending people to search the cave but finding nothing, Rhaegar took the people out.

After leaving the cave and walking by the dim river, Robert felt anxious: "Sir, where are we going?"

They had just eliminated several Shadowbinders who controlled shadows, and also found the rumored dragon eggs.

It had a great impact on the old sailor's cognition.

Rega listened to the rushing flow of the underground river and said rationally: "The end of the downstream is the cave. Let's go upstream along the underground river."

At the entrance to the ruins are the remains of Lannister soldiers and the fresh corpses of stonemen...

The dragon cave being explored was missing a newly unearthed dragon egg fossil.

He had to suspect that besides the few dead Shadowbinders, there were other accomplices in the ruins.

Besides, he was exploring the ruins for some lost inheritance of House Belerys.

A few dragon egg fossils are not enough to eliminate the risks of exploring the Sea of ​​Smoke.

Walking all the way upstream, we soon passed the tunnel leading in and out of the ruins, and continued to explore the dim cave.

Wow…

The underground river flows loudly, the altitude gradually increases, and the water flow becomes more and more rapid.

After about an hour passed, the gray rock beneath my feet disappeared and was replaced by pieces of broken stone slabs.

The firelight illuminated the dim cave, and what was visible was an open space that was squeezed and deformed. The four walls were covered with cracked stone slabs.

The sudden change is eye-catching, and at the same time arouses deep vigilance.

Lei Jia's mind was spinning and he murmured: "The lower reaches are the dragon pit of the dragon lair, and the upper reaches should be the main body of the dragon lair."

Considering the structure of the dragon's lair and the dragon's nest, he speculated that this dragon's lair was a similar building before it was destroyed.

According to Rhaegar's observation, this dragon's lair is most likely one of the many dragon lairs of the Belerys family.

Although most areas collapsed into ruins, the overall area can be simulated from the piles of rubble outside.

It's probably about the same size as the dragon's lair in King's Landing.

After analyzing this, Lei Jia's eyes were a little restrained.

It is difficult for important things to appear in an unimportant dragon's lair.

Plop——

There was a sudden sound of falling water, and the undercurrent stirred up a splash of water.

Rega cast his gaze away and whispered: "Alert!"

"Hiss..."

A crazy roar sounded, and a figure jumped out of the dark river and fluttered towards the shore.

"It's Shimin, prepare to meet the enemy!"

Rhaegar saw the figure's ferocious appearance clearly and shouted quickly.

Thump thump thump…

At this moment, a series of sounds of falling water came from the underground river. I don't know where there is a cave for stone people to sneak into the ruins.

The stone people had no obvious weaknesses. They used their hands and feet in the fast underground river to climb up the bank like beasts.

His ferocious eyes stared at the living person, and he rushed towards him with his teeth and claws bared.

"A small team stepped forward to block it, and retreated in rotation!"

Facing the increasing number of stone people, the mercenaries seemed a little panicked, and formed a formation to deal with it under the command of the commander.

Ten people stopped in front of the river bank and slashed hard with their scimitars, preventing the stone people from going ashore, and the escorting force retreated.

"Hurry up and leave, don't be reluctant to fight!"

Rhaegar strode upstream, surrounded by mercenaries.

No one would want to fight with stone people who have no intelligence and are full of infectious diseases.

The cave paved with stone slabs is getting narrower and narrower, and you can clearly see the tragic situation of the space being crushed after being squeezed.

After a while, two dark holes appeared in front of the underground river.

"Sir, which way are you going?" the commander asked quickly, looking flustered.

Rhaegar's eyes widened, his breathing began to quicken, and he stared at the two holes without blinking.

Behind them, dozens of stone people kept chasing, roaring and pounced on the mercenaries who were blocking them, scratching, biting and tearing irrationally.

"Which hole to choose!" Rhaegar's eyes changed uncertainly, and he urgently needed to make a decision.

Based on the rough structure of the dragon's cave, it is estimated that the two roads upstream are likely to lead to the top of the dragon's cave.

That's the pile of rocks outside the ruins.

Even so, the two roads should each represent a dragon lair area.

Perhaps it is a space for dragons to move, or perhaps it is an exit that has been buried long ago.

Suddenly, Lei Jia's eyes fell on the hole on the right side near the underground river.

There was a large, conspicuous chip at the entrance of the hole, as if it had been smashed by something.

Rhaegar also noticed that the edges of the gap were somewhat charred, as if they had been burned by fire.

"Go this way!"

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, Rhaegar pointed to the hole on the right, held a torch and rushed in.

He guessed how the scorch at the edge of the gap was caused.

It's not the dragon breathing out dragon flames, nor the lava baking it.

Instead, the giant dragon fled in a panic, its scales rubbing against the rocks, and the sparks from the friction burned.

The adult dragon's scales are as hard as iron and will generate high temperatures under severe impact.

He had previously seen the claw marks left by an adult dragon, and this gap should also have been left by the other party.

During the doomsday catastrophe, the giant dragon was trapped in the dragon's lair, and its survival instinct made it try to escape.

Its escape route must be the hole where it can usually fly out of the dragon's lair.

Rhaegar didn't care whether the exit existed or not, he just wanted to follow the dragon's footsteps.

Maybe there will be opportunities.

"Quick! Those who come in later will block the entrance."

A group of people hurriedly ran into the cave entrance on the right side. The commander ignored the several mercenaries blocking the way outside and ordered people to block the entrance of the cave with gravel.

"Damn it, let me in..."

"Roar……"

As huge pieces of rubble piled up at the entrance of the cave, the screams of mercenaries and the violent roars of stone people could be heard outside.

Rhaegar glanced at it but didn't stop him.

The mercenaries who stopped the stone people were more or less scratched and infected with greyscale.

It is better to simply die now than to die in fear bit by bit when the disease occurs.

"Come on, the cave is not deep!"

Rhaegar touched the damp stone slabs in the cave and urged forward.

Not far away, the view suddenly opened up.

Ahead is a huge cave filled with rubble.

Hua Hua...

The top of the cave is weighed down by piles of rocks, and a large amount of water squeezes out of the gaps and merges into the underground river to form a deep spring.

Rega ignored the strange scenery in the cave and stared blankly at the pile of rocks piled up into a hill.

Under countless rubble and soil, the white bones of a huge creature were buried.

Gray and curved dragon horns, sharp and huge claws, broken and broken wings...

Rhaegar gasped slightly and said absently: "The dragon of House Belerys!"
