Chapter 5 Flying Dragon in the Sky
On the third day after the assassination in Longzhua Village, fourteen boys aged five or six appeared in Shigu Tower.
As Jacaris said in Climax City, everything in the territory is the lord's property.
The same is true for population!
Under the orders of the Princess of Dragonstone, the common people of Dragonclaw Village can only allow the lord's guards to choose their children.
Now Rhaenyra is more generous and kind.
Not only did she reward the parents of these fourteen children with ten silver deer, she also allowed them to return home to visit their families at the end of each year.
Yes, in the Game of Thrones world, the children of ordinary people are only worth two cows!
Even so, the common people of Dragon Claw Village were still grateful to Rainier and continued to sing praises to their lord.
Jakaris, who became the king of the children, followed the military training methods of his previous life to cultivate the discipline and absolute obedience of these fourteen children.
In a flash, more than half a year has passed.
The duration of winter and summer in the Game of Thrones world is very unstable, and the so-called "year" is calculated based on a fixed number of days.
So the end of the year could be winter or summer.
120AC is a year with normal climate. The temperature gets lower towards the end of the year, and it has even snowed recently.
At the beginning, Rhaenyra and Daemon were more concerned about the fourteen children.
But they found that Jakaris was just playing house with them.
In addition to studying characters every day, we either walked around in a line or stood still for an hour or two.
After a while, they lost interest.
In their opinion, Dragonstone does not lack these fourteen children.
Just think of them as Jakaris and Xiaolu's playmates.
The same was true for Xiaolu, who was very enthusiastic about training with Jakaris at the beginning.
But after two days he found it tiring and boring, and from then on he played with his three-year-old brother Joffrey every day.
Instead, it was the older twin sister, Benilla, who joined halfway and insisted on training with her fiancé every day.
Jakaris felt that he had lived a very fulfilling life in the past six months.
In addition to routine training with his guards every day, he also routinely learned High Valyrian and learned swordsmanship from Daemon.
As for the most important thing, feeding the Womax will naturally not be neglected.
Since there were no extra points gained from killing enemies, for the past six months I could only gain more than 300 entry points by eating.
But these points did not result in new options appearing in the entry panel.
Unable to contain his itch, Jakaris impulsively refreshed the entry one day.
The result was a grey entry [Cowardly] with an attack power of -10%.
Feeling distressed and regretful, Jakaris decided to start accumulating entry points and wait for new changes to appear on the entry panel.
Of course, the past six months have not been without good things.
After repeated checks and confirmations by the dragon guards in the dragon's lair, Womax has grown to a size that can carry humans and fly!
On the day when Jacaerys officially became a dragon rider, even Rhaenyra, who was more than eight months pregnant, came to the Dragon Tower to watch.
Hooray, hooray!
With a dragon saddle installed on his back by the dragon guards, Wormax fell from the sky and landed at the vacant dragon head position of the Flying Dragon Tower.
The dragon saddle of Vermax was made based on that of Rhaenyra's Syrax.
The only difference is that the color was changed to green, which is more in line with Womacks.
Jacaerys, who was already very excited, stepped on the dragon wings of Womax and climbed onto the comfortable and soft dragon saddle.
After adjusting his body shape and holding the two handles in front of the dragon saddle tightly with both hands, he shouted loudly: "Fly!"
Hiss~~
Womacks first let out a neigh towards the sky, then kicked hard with his two strong and powerful hind legs.
A dragon and a man jumped straight down from the top of the Flying Dragon Tower and fell freely towards the choppy surface of the Narrow Sea.
Hooray, hooray!
After falling to a certain height, Womax opened his pair of dragon wings and flapped them vigorously.
Wow!
The giant green-scaled dragon flew close to the surface of the narrow sea, breaking through the water like an arrow and flying rapidly forward. Whoosh!
The whistling wind passed by Jacaris' ears, and the smell of salty sea water hit his face.
Having just experienced the feeling of weightlessness like bungee jumping, he is now beginning to experience the extreme speed of racing.
Ah! ~~
Under multiple stimulations, Jakaris couldn't help but shout loudly.
It seems as if he wants to vent all the negative emotions accumulated from past and present lives.
Ordinary dragon riders need to use reins to control the direction of the dragon, but Jakaris, who has a mental connection, does not need that at all.
With a thought, Womax immediately flapped his wings and flew high into the sky from the sea level.
In just a few minutes, it carried Jakaris through the white clouds and began to fly high in the sky.
Being thousands of meters high without any protection, Jakaris should have been frozen to a pulp.
But a hot aura emanated from the surface of Womacks' body, allowing him to maintain his body temperature.
Yes, as a legendary creature, the dragon must have some strangeness.
Otherwise, the dragon riders would have been frozen into popsicles while flying at high altitude and high speed.
After flying for more than half an hour in the beautiful sky with dazzling sunshine and white clouds,
Jakaris returned to the Stone Drum Tower with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
As Vermax descended, he passed through cumulonimbus clouds that were dropping snowflakes.
Jacaerys suddenly shouted, "Dracarys!"
Hey!
A column of orange dragon flame spewed out from Wormax's mouth full of ferocious sharp teeth.
The cumulonimbus clouds in the sky above Shigulou turned into streams of water vapor and drifted away under the burning of the high-temperature dragon flame.
Continuing to spit out dragon flames, Volmax circled in the sky two or three times.
The entire cumulonimbus cloud layer above the Stone Drum Tower was instantly burned clean.
A bright ray of sunlight shines through the hole in the clouds onto the Feilong Tower.
Everyone looked up and saw a dragon and a man who seemed to be carrying a thousand-foot-long light slowly flying towards them.
At this moment, the expressions on the faces of Rhaenyra, Daemon, the twin sisters, the fourteen child guards, and others were different.
Jakaris didn't know what the people below were thinking. He was now immersed in a sense of accomplishment.
Although it is only a change in the weather within a small range, it is beyond human power!
After this wonderful and exciting dragon flying journey, he determined his life goal for the first time.
That is to become the most powerful dragon knight!
And live freely in this world and never let yourself suffer any injustice!
……
More than a month has passed by in a blink of an eye.
At the end of 120 AC, Rhaenyra and Daemon's first son, Aegon Targaryen, was born.
Although it is to pay tribute and remember the ancestors, it is too embarrassing to have two Aegons with the same name in the same era!
Anyway, in the eyes of Jacaris, who was a Chinese in his previous life, it was a little difficult to understand.
The fourteen children who had already begun to take shape as guards also got the long-awaited holiday to visit their families.
Generous Jacaerys also allowed each of them to pack a portion of leftover food from the feast held to celebrate Aegon's birth.
But these actions could not redeem his reputation.
Over the past six months, with the help of some people, the news of Jakaris' previous behavior of letting dragons bite people has become widely known.
Rhaenyra was a poor parent and Jacaerys' reputation for cruelty and evil spread almost throughout the Seven Kingdoms.
Even King Viserys sent a raven message, telling Rhaenyra to keep Jacaerys in check.
Under such circumstances, the young Jacaerys was forcibly confined to Dragonstone by Rhaenyra.
And this predicament lasted for six years!
