Although they have lived in pain and oppression for a long time and their spirits have long been numb, their instincts still make them feel deep fear in the face of such a huge and powerful dragon.
However, these two dragons did not stay on Dragonstone for too long.
They flew past like a whirlwind, quickly flying in the direction of Braavos, and disappeared into the distant sky in the blink of an eye.
The departure of the dragon did not bring much disturbance to Dragonstone.
The islanders here have long been accustomed to the existence of giant dragons, and are no longer surprised by their dominance in the air.
Although they are shocked by its power every time they see the dragon, they can quickly calm down and continue to live their daily lives.
The people living here have already learned to live with the dragon.
They knew that although these giant dragons were powerful, they did not pose a direct threat to them.
Therefore, after a brief moment of wonder, they quickly regained their composure and each went about their own business as if nothing had happened.
In the study room of Dragonstone Castle, Redd was sitting at the desk reading books. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
He looked up and saw a servant coming in, holding a letter in his hand.
"Sir, this is a letter from King's Landing." The servant said respectfully.
Redd took the letter, opened the envelope, and quickly browsed the contents of the letter.
However, when he saw the contents of the letter, he almost laughed out of anger.
The letter actually asked him to go to King's Landing immediately to marry Rhaenyra!
Redd couldn't help but shook his head and secretly sighed in his heart: Viserys This new king really doesn't care about his face. He doesn't even look at how old his daughter Rhaenyra is. I'm afraid her hair isn't all grown.
Redd couldn't help but think of his previous meeting with Viserys, when he agreed to the marriage, but it was only for the sake of exchange of interests, and he didn't really take Rhaenyra to heart.
Now, Viserys is so eager to promote this marriage, it is obviously because of something.
Redd was pacing back and forth in the study, touching his chin, thinking about whether he should agree to the marriage.
On the one hand, he did personally agree to the marriage. Although the marriage took place much earlier than he expected, he is a reputable person after all, and since he agreed, he has no intention of going back on his word.
On the other hand, Redd has no special feelings for Rhaenyra, and he does not want to be involved in King's Landing's power struggle.
He decided to go to King's Landing in a few days and see how the situation was then.
In any case, Redd has made up his mind not to get involved in anything related to Dorne.
He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to himself because of this marriage.
In the afternoon when the sun was gradually setting in the west, Redd finally waited for the compensation sent by Dorne.
He stood in an open space, staring at the mountains of gold coins in front of him and the various goods used to offset the compensation, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
These gold coins shine dazzlingly in the sun, as if they are a mockery of Dornish.
However, Redd was not dazzled by the wealth. He calmly observed these goods and secretly calculated their value and use.
Especially the ores in it made Redd's eyes shine.
The texture and color of these ores are excellent, and they are exactly the materials he needs to build Dragonpit.
With these ores, the construction of Dragonpit will go more smoothly and save a lot of time and energy.
Dornish, who sent the compensation, looked very ugly. Their prince died in the hands of Redd, and now they have to send money to Redd. This feeling is like being slapped in the face and having to laugh at it, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Although Princess Dorne had explained to them that the prince's death had nothing to do with Redd, this could not change the dissatisfaction and anger in their hearts.
After all, the prince's death was a huge loss to Dorne, and now they have to pay compensation to the "murderer", which is undoubtedly adding salt to the wound.
Redd didn't care about the stinky faces of Dornish. He simply ordered Douglas to receive and count all the goods.
Douglas is Redd's right-hand man, he completes the task quickly and efficiently, ensuring that all shipments are accurate.
After confirming that all the goods were OK, Redd let these Dornish leave Dragonstone without hesitation.
He had no unnecessary nonsense and did not want to tangle with these dissatisfied people.
For him, getting compensation is the most important thing. As for Dornish's mood, he doesn't care.
Braavos, this mysterious and powerful city-state is like a bright pearl, embedded at the northwest end of Essos.
It consists of a series of islands, like a winding dragon, entrenched at the intersection of the Narrow Sea and the Douhai Sea.
The place is shrouded in thick fog all year round, like a veil, adding a bit of mystery to the city.
Neptune, the ruler of this city, suddenly felt an ominous premonition in his heart when he learned that the person he sent to investigate was missing, and that the people he sent to investigate were also attacked by "pirates".
His brows were furrowed and his gaze was like a torch, as if he could penetrate the thick fog and see clearly the truth hidden behind it.
"This is definitely not a simple pirate attack," Neptune murmured to himself, "There must be someone behind it, I was actually plotted against!"
There was a hint of anger and unwillingness in his voice.
Without hesitation, Neptune ordered the entire city to be on alert to prepare for a possible dragon attack.
For a time, the whole city became busy, and people nervously ran through the streets and alleys, conveying the orders of Neptune.
On landmarks, lighthouses, towers and domes, huge dragon-shooting crossbows were quickly installed.
These giant crossbows are like giant steel beasts. Their crossbow arms are as thick as adult arms, and the crossbow arrows are even more staggering.
Each one is as thick as an adult's arm, and the arrows are diamond-shaped with sharp barbs and flashing cold light. They are obviously specially made to deal with giant dragons.
Standing next to each crossbow machine were several or even a dozen strong men. Their muscles were taut and their expressions were serious. They were holding the handle of the crossbow machine tightly, as if they could shoot these deadly crossbow arrows into the sky with just one command.
The whole city was filled with a tense atmosphere, and people were waiting with bated breath, wondering whether the legendary dragon would really come.
Neptune stood at the highest point of the city, overlooking everything. Although his heart was full of uneasiness,
But his eyes were firm, and he believed that no matter what kind of enemy he faced, Braavos could survive it.
However, they still underestimated the terror of the attacking dragon.
