Redd, through his powerful magic perception ability, was able to clearly detect that the blood of the true dragon was indeed flowing in this old man's body.
However, the concentration of this blood is relatively low, and it has obviously been greatly diluted.
Redd waved for Ryan to step back. He decided to talk to the old man alone in order to better understand his intention and purpose.
After seeing Redd, the old man first bowed respectfully, then straightened his back and introduced himself in a neither humble nor overbearing manner:
"My name is Thorn·Baelor Lys, from House Targaryen.
I came here this time in the hope that Your Highness, for the sake of our being of the same clan, would be merciful and take action to rescue my clansmen."
Redd Hearing this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he looked at the old man in front of him with a half-smile.
His eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of subtle cunning.
After a moment of silence, he finally spoke, his voice calm but with a hint of joking. "Oh? Why do you think I will save you?"
Look at yourself, the true dragon blood in your body has become so thin that whether it is hatching Dragon Egg or controlling a giant dragon, it will probably be an extremely difficult thing for you.
Your role is probably just to be a dragon guard and do some chores raising dragons."
Thorne's expression did not change at all after listening to Redd's words. He was obviously well aware of his situation.
However, he was not shaken by Redd's words, but responded more firmly:
"Your Highness, although your opinion is reasonable, please don't forget that the power of House Targaryen is not only reflected in the purity of blood.
We have a long history and rich experience, which are wealth that cannot be measured by blood.
Moreover, His Highness's road of conquest will never stop here. If you want to rebuild Valyria in the future, you will definitely need more assistance and support from House Targaryen."
Redd After listening to Thorne's words, the smile on the corner of his mouth became more obvious, but he did not express his position immediately. He just said lightly, "Maybe."
Thorne knows very well that if he cannot show his value to Redd, then he will never get Redd's assistance.
After some inner struggle and hesitation, Thorne finally plucked up the courage and said, "I have a way to make you a god."
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, instantly arousing Redd's strong interest.
He stared at Thorne with wide eyes, as if examining whether this mysterious old man really knew such an important secret.
Redd's expression became serious. He straightened his body and sat upright, waiting attentively for Thorne to continue speaking.
Upon seeing this, Thorne knew that he had successfully attracted Redd's attention.
He took a deep breath, calmed down, and then slowly took out a round thin piece of iron about the size of a palm from his robe.
This piece of iron looks very ordinary, but if you look closely, you will find that it is covered with dense runes and graphics. These runes and graphics seem to contain some profound power.
Thorne carefully placed the iron piece on the desk in front of Redd, and then explained, "It records the method of building the Kingdom of God."
Redd's eyes were attracted by the iron piece. He couldn't wait to pick up the iron piece and looked at it carefully. The iron piece was cold to the touch and felt light, and it was obviously made of a very special material.
Redd took a closer look and found that it was actually made of Valyrian steel!
Valyrian steel is an extremely rare metal with powerful magical properties and a tough texture.
This material was considered an artifact in ancient times, but is now difficult to find.
The runes and words on this piece of iron were even smaller and denser, and many of them were magic runes that Redd had never seen before.
Although it is difficult to fully interpret the meaning of these runes and words at the moment, Redd relies on his profound magic knowledge and experience to determine that the magic recorded in these runes and words is indeed related to becoming a god.
Redd was secretly happy, he knew that this piece of iron was definitely a priceless treasure.
However, he did not show it immediately, but said to Thorne calmly, "What do you want me to help you with?"
Thorne was secretly happy, knowing that his request was already half successful.
He quickly said, "My family is imprisoned in Volantis's the Black Wall. Please rescue them."
Redd was slightly surprised after hearing this.
He originally thought that Thorne would make some more complicated or difficult-to-achieve requests, but he didn't expect that he would just rescue a few people from Volantis.
In his eyes, this is just a trivial matter.
Redd picked up the pen without hesitation, quickly wrote a letter, then handed it to Thorne and said:
"I will ask Sciora to accompany you to Volantis to pick up your family."
Thorne's hands were shaking with excitement. He hurriedly took the letter as if it was the salvation of his life.
He knelt on his knees and said with a slightly choked voice, "From now on, I will swear allegiance to His Highness to the death."
Redd did not give Thorne more time to express his gratitude. He shouted loudly to the door, "Siola, come in."
As the door was pushed open, a tall man with a stern face walked in.
He stood quietly aside, waiting for Redd's instructions.
Redd looked at Theora and ordered, "On behalf of me, go to Volantis with Thorne to bring back all his family members."
Sciora couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart. He knew that if he could successfully handle this matter, then he would have proven his ability in front of Redd.
In this way, he may be able to be reused like Douglas, Jasont and Marcus in the future.
Sciora was keenly aware that Redd attached great importance to Thorne. Otherwise, Redd would never have specially sent him to accompany Thorne to Volantis, and the purpose was just to save people.
Because of this, Sciora was particularly enthusiastic when treating Thorne.
After the two people left, Redd stayed alone in the study, studying the iron sheet with all his concentration.
For two whole days and two nights, he did not close his eyes and kept copying and translating the words and runes on the iron sheet.
After some unremitting efforts, he finally revealed the secret.
It turns out that the so-called "becoming a god" does not mean becoming a god in the true sense, but rather building a divine kingdom of one's own - an independent space that is completely controlled by oneself.
However, the construction and maintenance of the kingdom of God requires an extremely large amount of faith as support, which is why gods rely so much on believers.
If it loses the nourishment of the power of faith, the kingdom of God will not be able to exist for a long time and will eventually disintegrate and dissipate.
