Game of Thrones: The Bronze and Fire Lord

Upon learning of Aemon's arrival, many people rushed out of the small fishing village to welcome His Royal Highness warmly.

Everyone in the Runestone City territory knew that he was a generous man.

Aemon chose a relatively poor fisherman's house, where he had dinner with the host.

On the table,

The fisherman's wife had cooked vegetables and soup and had also taken out the bacon that had been treasured for a long time.

For civilians, this was already a rich treat.

Aemon did not put on airs as the prince. He thanked them politely and chatted while eating. "I see that this village has scarce land. Can fishing alone make a living?"

He had never put the governance of people's livelihoods into practice.

The fisherman experienced the vicissitudes of life in the Middle Ages. He said cautiously, "It is enough. The ladie of Runestone City rarely collect taxes, but..."

He was hit by his wife before he could finish.

Startled, the fisherman quickly shut up.

"What can't you say?"

Seeing that the other party had something difficult to say, Aemon's attitude was gentle. His voice was neither anxious nor impatient.

The fisherman looked at his wife, then at the gentle prince, and hesitated for a moment.

"Just say it! A grown man can't be suffocated by a fart!"

Gunthor couldn't stand it and urged him on.

Aemon glanced at him and signaled for him to be quiet.

He ate the bread and bacon provided by others, but he didn't know how to speak gently.

"My lord, there actually is a problem."

This voice scared the fisherman and made him open up.

Ignoring his wife's objections, the fisherman told the whole story.

"It's a dragon!"

The fisherman was dejected and distressed. "A few years ago, a dragon suddenly appeared on the east coast. It often stole our catch, causing us to return home empty-handed."

"Then why didn't you guard against it?"

Gunthor frowned and spoke loudly.

"It can't be prevented, my lord."

The fisherman complained, "The dragon is very timid. It hides when it sees people and steals when we're not looking."

"Sometimes we drive it away, and it leaves obediently."

Upon hearing this, black lines filled Aemon's head.

"I understand."

It ran away when chased, but then sneaked back when no one was looking.

Given the dog's sneaky style, he had already guessed who it was.

Aemon took a deep breath and said affirmatively, "It was a small dragon with light gray scales, right?"

"Yes, you saw it too?"

The fisherman nodded excitedly, knowing that the Targaryens must know about dragons.

Aemon's mouth twitched slightly. He wanted to tell the fisherman that he had not only seen the dragon, but it had also stolen his fish.

"Don't worry. I'll help you solve this matter."

After dinner, His Royal Highness made a promise.

After all, it's a dragon. Even if it's wild and undisciplined, it must be taken into the family.

Besides, the fish thief is timid and shy, but that doesn't mean there isn't any danger.

Staying on the east coast could lead to greater trouble.

...

It was late at night.

Aemon lived alone in a thatched hut. Moonlight shone through the shabby wooden window, and the sound of the waves could be heard outside.

"Squeak."

The golden-nosed rat lay on its owner's chest, its little head nodding.

The owner couldn't sleep, so the rat had to coax him.

Aemon was amused and took the rat's head aside.

It was still early, so he opened the gorgeous panel to check.

[Aemon Targaryen]

Talent: Dreamer (gold)

Bloodline: Ancient Valyrian Dragon King (34%)

Skills: Binding Spell "Incomplete" (Proficient), Archery (Hitting the Target), and Empty Hands (Skilled).

Magic Cards: Strong Body (blue), Solid as a Rock (intermediate, purple), and King's Temperament (purple).

Equipment: Double Valyrian Daggers, Sapphire Amulet (2/3)

Pets: Golden-nosed Rat (blue), White Deer (auspicious beast).

Evaluation: "The bloodline is steadily improving, as is the initial mastery of dragon-taming skills."

Aemon glanced at it and knew the contents well.

The most significant changes are the incomplete binding spell, the Strong Body card, and the 1% increase in blood purity.

There is not much to say about the latter two.

The incomplete binding spell comes from the fourteen ancient dragon-taming skills.

For example, one could use commands to fly a dragon, steer it to avoid stray arrows, or calm an agitated dragon.

After passing all the tests, an entry for the Binding Spell appears in the Skills Column.

It turns out that the fourteen ancient dragon-controlling techniques are a youth version of the binding spell that has been altered countless times.

The Binding Spell was one of the main means used by the Dragon Kings during the ancient Valyrian period to control the dragons.

At that time, there were forty dragon king families in total.

The Targaryens ranked in the middle and lower ranks, so naturally, they were not qualified to master the binding spell.

The youth version that Aemon is learning now merely involves forming a deep bond with the dragon through pure blood and commanding the dragon.

This is a very primitive way of controlling dragons.

If the blood is slightly inferior or the person and the dragon are incompatible, the effect is greatly reduced.

This is also why the Targaryen family rarely produces famous dragon riders; most of them are just ordinary riders.

If you really want to single one out, though,

The combination of Daemon and Caraxes should qualify as a decorated dragon rider in the Valyria Empire.

Others, including Rhaenys and Laena, don't stand a chance.

This mother and daughter are still at the stage of controlling dragons with whips and can't communicate with them.

Of course, whipping a dragon is not like whipping a horse.

Dragon scales are very thick and hard, so the iron whip does not hurt.

The whip's function is to transmit vibrations as a familiar signal.

This saves the trouble of shouting commands while riding a dragon.

It's a tricky way.

"My blood is very pure, so it's easy for me to form a human-dragon bond. However, the natural growth rate is slow."

Aemon analyzed patiently.

He thought the problem was that his blood had risen too quickly, reaching the high standard of a normal dragon rider.

If he wanted to purify his blood, relying on age alone would have little effect.

"I still have to find a dragon to touch."

Aemon smiled slightly; he had already set his sights on a small goal.

Then, he turned over the card panel.

Next to the golden hourglass, a line of small words shone: [Essence Quantity: 2280].

Four digits, with zeros and wholes.

Aemon took a look at it, and his expression immediately relaxed. He felt a sense of security.

"Rich!"

After four years, he had saved a significant amount of money.

Most of it came from four dragon eggs, which provided more than 5,000 essences steadily. The rest came from white deer, dragon bone bows, and bronze armor, which provided more than 5,000 essences.

If you calculate carefully, you can harvest 220 essences steadily every month and more than 10,000 in four years.

This includes the 1,000 essences he gained from taming Vormithor and his good luck.

The total is over 13,000.

"Although I spent some of it, it's still a lot."

Aemon was happy as he calculated the family's assets over the years.

Two red cards used to build the city cost a total of 10,000 essences.

That's quite expensive, but I don't know if the effect is as good as advertised.

His only red card is God-given Bronze, which can designate a mountain for a large copper vein.

The two cards are on par with God-given Bronze,

So they must be extraordinary. The rest of the consumption records are various magic card exchanges.

For instance, Strong Body is worth 200 essences.

He received two Constitution +1 cards, each worth 10 essences.

It's worth mentioning that the physical fitness of ordinary people is 10.

Aemon exchanged Physique +1 five times, which is 50% higher than the physical fitness of ordinary people.

In addition to being strong and healthy, his physical fitness surpasses that of adults.

The rest are small items that can be exchanged at will and cost very few essences.

"Let's take a look at what magic cards are available today."

Aemon lay on the bed and clicked on three refreshed cards.

Pop~

One gray, one blue, and one green—three magic cards appeared.

The gray and green ones were disregarded, and the eyes fell on the blue card in the middle.

[Blood Source Fruit]: After consuming it, the growth rate of the body accelerates.

Exchange price: 500 essence points.
