To improve efficiency, Daniella controlled Hognara and her two siblings, continuously spewing Dragonflame onto the armor so that her fire seed could more easily leave rune marks on the armor.
The three little ones, almost two months old, had already grown to half a meter in size, and the Dragonflame they spewed out already had some power. It was still a bit lacking for fighting on the battlefield, but it could barely manage roasting meat, refining artifacts, or forging Dragonstone.
Although Daniella still couldn't quite believe Sevan's dream, for the sake of caution, she still forcibly awakened Meraxes and brought him along. Sevan was also kept by Daniella's side; after all, there was no reason to push away a Dragon Knight who was so devoted to her.
Although Sea Smoke was still a sub-adult, with a Dragon Rider to control him, his combat power was already considerable.
And now that Sevan's identity had been exposed, staying by Daniella's side was the safest option for him. Otherwise, Princess Rhaenys and House Velaryon would definitely not let him go.
Even with the help of three Dragons, Daniella almost stayed up all night to complete the rune imprints on her Valyrian armor. And when the last rune was successfully imprinted, Daniella could clearly feel her armor autonomously begin to absorb the thin magic power around it.
"Dragonflame~"
Daniella quickly ordered the three little ones to simultaneously spew Dragonflame onto the armor. Unexpectedly, the scorching Dragonflame instantly extinguished upon contact with the armor, clearly because the magic power in the Dragonflame was absorbed by the armor.
Daniella seemed to have discovered a new continent.
"So this is how the runes on this bronze armor are used!"
With the experiment successful, Daniella's tension eased, and she suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion.
"Hah~ It's still early, I can sleep a little longer!"
Daniella, who was already very tired from excessive magic consumption, quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Earl Frey and Earl Blackwood, having won the first round, rushed day and night for three days and two nights, finally bypassing layers of encirclement and arriving near High Heart.
Dona and her sisters had maintained a state of easy travel for the past few days, so their consumption was severe, and their birds were also too exhausted to bear it.
So Earl Frey ordered everyone to set up camp and rest on a small hill about half a day's journey from High Heart, planning to spend the night there and continue their journey tomorrow.
After Dona and her group carefully scouted the vicinity and found no abnormalities, they all fell into a deep sleep. And their birds could finally rest peacefully on nearby trees.
"Damn it~ Did the Poor Fellows Gathering of the Seven Gods Church disband long ago? Why are they appearing in Riverlands again?"
Because of Dona's accurate intelligence, although they encountered many enemies besieging them along the way, almost all of them were dealt with.
"Those families in the Westerlands must have been bribed by Earl Reyes, and the Duke of Stormlands himself is not on good terms with Princess Daniella, so their involvement is not difficult to understand. This Poor Fellows Gathering..."
Earl Frey's face was grim as he squeezed out his guess through clenched teeth.
"Seven Gods Church! When Princess Daniella arrived in Oldtown, the Starry Sept was massacred by rioters. Now the Starry Sept, under the control of the Oldtown Garrison, has been completely controlled by the commoner faction of monks."
"The Hightower Family has controlled the Seven Gods Church for so many years, and who knows how many bishops of cathedrals in various places are their blood descendants. It's no wonder that the Hightower Family, having fallen to this state today, would not cause trouble."
"Do they still think they can stir up a big wave? The current royal family has more than twenty Dragons, even if all the believers in the Seven Kingdoms rise up in rebellion, they cannot resist the Dragonflame of those Dragons!"
Earl Blackwood expressed his incomprehension.
Earl Frey, however, guessed a few of their intentions.
"Perhaps their purpose is only to show the people of the Seven Kingdoms the terrifying side of Dragons. Since Princess Daniella slew the Sea Dragon and ended the Long Night and Winter, the people of the Seven Kingdoms have revered Dragons much more than before."
"Moreover, Dragon God worship has begun to appear in Holy Flame Island, Oldtown, and King's Landing."
Earl Blackwood suddenly realized upon hearing this.
"You're right, that must be it! And about the Dragon God worship you mentioned, it's true. The Dragon Kiss Garden in King's Landing worships an idol of the Valyrian Dragon God, and behind that..."
"Cough cough~ Don't many people also go to the sculpture in Saint Daenerys Cathedral Square every day to pray devoutly? I heard that statues of Princess Daniella slaying the Sea Dragon have also been erected in Dragonstone, the Starry Sept in Oldtown, Dreamfire Island in Stepstones, Tarth Island, White Harbor, Bear Island, and other places."
Earl Frey, seeing that Earl Blackwood was connecting a brothel with Princess Daniella, quickly interrupted him.
While Earl Frey and Earl Blackwood were talking late into the night, dozens of kilometers away, Earl Smallwood of Acorn Hall was enthusiastically hosting twelve noble youths from The Reach who had come under the guise of hunting.
Leading them were Anwen Peake, the heir to Earl of Peake, Old Scholar Oli, who served Family Peake, and Bishop Eustace, a monk from the Highgarden Seven Gods Church, all of whom came from the Hightower Family.
The remaining nine were: Brandon Tucker, Marko Ambrose, Owen Fossoway, George Gravesford, Ser Regard, Tyler Norcross, Victor Rhysley, Richard Rodden, Jon Roxton, and Roger Correy.
These people were all from prominent noble families in The Reach, and Owen Fossoway was even the nephew of Lady Emerald, the current Minister of Law.
These people first tricked open Earl Smallwood's door, then used threats and inducements, coupled with the 'earnest' persuasion of the Old Scholar of Acorn Hall, and finally, these thirteen people reached a consensus and formed the so-called "Thirteen Acorns Organization."
And their ultimate goal was to slay a Dragon!
The divine trickster, Monk Eustace, solemnly assured everyone,
"I have received revelations from the Seven Gods; tomorrow, the wrath of the Seven Gods will arrive, and that will be the end of the Targaryen Family's evil Dragons."
"The time of judgment has come. If we allow the evil Dragons to continue to spread across Westeros, then what they devour will not only be the livestock of various families, but in the future, countless Hightower Families will be swallowed by the greedy Targaryen Dragon swarm."
After speaking, Monk Eustace's eyes actually flickered with a strange red light. Except for the newly joined Earl Smallwood, who felt some fear, everyone else's eyes were full of fanaticism. Earl Smallwood clearly seemed to see flickering red or green light in their eyes.
"Only Dragons can kill Dragons!"
"Only Dragons can kill Dragons..."
Daniella, who was in a deep sleep, suddenly fell into a terrifying dream. In the dream, Dragonstone, King's Landing, and High Heart were simultaneously engulfed by towering flames.
