After half a month of recuperation outside House Massey's castle, Sea Smoke, the dragon, had mostly recovered from its injuries. Its damaged Dragon Wings and scales not only returned to their original state but also seemed to have become even tougher.
During this time, he had eaten a lot of House Massey's cattle and sheep, which truly pained the Count Massey. And with such a dragon sprawled outside their castle, they were initially excited and thrilled.
As time went on, they found it very inconvenient, having to be extra careful every time they entered or exited. They were afraid that an unintentional action might anger the dragon, bringing disaster upon them.
Because he had plenty of fat sheep and cattle to eat every day, Sea Smoke grew a full circle in just over half a month. Now that Sea Smoke had finally regained its ability to fly, he impatiently chased after the direction the dragon had left earlier.
While passing through the waters near Yangwu City, Sea Smoke suddenly felt a stirring in his bloodline. This feeling made him feel very strange, so he followed the sensation.
"I really don't understand why you don't try to hatch a Dragon Eggs yourself, since you've already obtained one? After all, you not only have the bloodline of the Targaryen Family but are also a descendant of the Ancient Valyria dragon King's bloodline, so there's a good chance of hatching a Dragon Eggs."
On a dilapidated three-masted ship, the tall, thin captain Markris said to Sevan while playing with the silver Dragon Eggs in his hand.
"If you had a dragon, where in the vast world couldn't you go?! Even establishing your own kingdom wouldn't be impossible. If you don't have that ambition yourself, why don't you sell this Dragon Eggs to me? Although my dragon King's bloodline is already very thin, what if the gods bless me!"
"Let me tell you..."
Markris's silk suit was already stained and worn, and his chest was half-exposed, revealing his somewhat well-defined, lean muscles.
His curly, silver-gold long hair, whether it was wet from the seawater or greasy from not being washed for a long time, was already severely matted.
However, he had an extremely sexy appearance, with narrow eyes carrying a hint of playfulness and provocation. His strong nose bridge and chiseled facial contours, coupled with his thin lips that always subtly curled upwards on one side, gave him a unique sense of untamed and dashing beauty.
Sevan, whose figure was hidden beneath his hood, ignored Markris's incessant chatter. He simply meticulously wiped the newly acquired long-handled great axe in his hand.
"Creak~"
"Dragon! Oh my goodness, look, it's a Dragon!"
It turned out to be Sea Smoke, who had come by instinct, quickly approaching the sailboat.
At first, the sailors and crew were excited to see the Dragon, but when they noticed that the Dragon's target was their sailboat, they immediately became nervous. They quickly lowered the sails and desperately ran into the cabin.
Although in their perception, Dragon rarely attacked ships, what if he was in a bad mood today?! Humans have an instinctive fear of all powerful things; this is human nature. It is almost universal in every world and every era.
Markris quickly put the Dragon Eggs into a wooden box and secured it, then he and Sevan went onto the deck. Although he was also very nervous, as the captain of the "Wandering Prince," he calmly directed everyone to quickly evacuate into the cabin.
Sea Smoke confirmed that the thing that made his bloodline stir was on this ship, so he circled the Wandering Prince back and forth.
Markris looked at the Dragon, who was reluctant to leave, and couldn't help but complain to Sevan,
"I say, Sevan, this guy wouldn't have sensed your Dragon Eggs, would he! Why don't you give it to him?"
"Don't wait until he gets impatient and sets us on fire with a mouthful of Dragonflame, that would be terrible."
Although Sevan also felt a little apprehensive, he still didn't believe this Dragon had come for the Dragon Eggs.
"Dragon rarely even care for their own Dragon Eggs, and I've never heard of a Dragon being interested in someone else's Dragon Eggs. I think it might just be a coincidence!"
"What if he doesn't want to take care of an old egg, but wants to devour it?"
Markris, who had been entrenched in the Stepstones for many years, was relatively familiar with matters in Westeros.
"I heard there's a Dragon on Dragonstone named Glutton, who likes to devour Dragon and Dragon Eggs. You should know this best, shouldn't you? After all, those scars on your body are thanks to Glutton."
Upon hearing this, Sevan suddenly felt his entire body's scars itch a little. Although Sevan's injuries had fully recovered thanks to the treatment with Forest Child Herbs, and he felt that his healing ability had greatly changed, the scars from the Dragonflame burns had become increasingly faint.
Moreover, Sevan also felt that his strength and agility had greatly improved, and his perception had become even more acute.
"Creak~"
After circling the Wandering Prince five or six times, Sea Smoke, the Dragon, finally landed directly onto the deck with a thud. Although Sea Smoke's body was less than twenty meters long, its weight was already considerable, so it immediately made the dilapidated three-masted ship sway uncontrollably.
The crew hiding in the cabin, unprepared, were momentarily thrown into disarray. Markris and Sevan on the deck were directly shaken onto their bottoms.
"I never thought I, Markris, the Wandering Pirate King, would ever be in such a sorry state."
Even at this point, Markris didn't forget to mock himself.
Sea Smoke extended his enormous head in front of Markris and Sevan, then carefully sniffed them a few times. He confirmed that the stirring in his bloodline originated from the two people in front of him.
Sevan had almost lost his life to Dragonflame before while trying to tame Glutton, so whether it was psychological or not, he now felt that the places where he had been burned by Dragonflame began to ache again. It was as if intense flames were burning from deep within his bloodline once more.
And it was Markris's first time encountering a Dragon at such close proximity. Although he was terrified, he felt as if the blood in his veins was boiling. The rapidly surging adrenaline quickly made him forget his fear, and he even developed an intense desire for the Dragon before him.
Sevan, beside him, was in a similar state. As Sea Smoke's Dragon head drew closer, Sevan completely forgot his fear, and his desire for the Dragon reached its peak.
"Be my companion, let us soar together above the skies, and from now on, you and I shall share glory!"
Sevan loudly called out to Sea Smoke in valyrian.
Upon hearing this, Sea Smoke extended his head directly in front of Sevan's. The immense pressure made cold sweat immediately trickle down Sevan's face, but at this moment, he was no longer afraid, and his eyes became incredibly firm.
Sevan's reflection slowly appeared in Sea Smoke's enormous vertical pupils. At this moment, Sevan, completely devoid of any fear, as if enchanted, involuntarily gently caressed Sea Smoke's Dragon snout.
