But most of them are watched from a distance, or learned about in history books and legends.
Standing in front of three living dragons up close, especially the one Black Dragon Ehm,
He had just yawned with the smell of sulfur, and a hot breath sprayed on his face without any warning.
The scalding heat wave, mixed with the smell of sulfur and fire, enveloped him instantly.
His skin felt tingling, and his heart beat involuntarily so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.
He could even see the faintly flashing fangs in Ehm's huge abyss-like mouth that could melt gold and break jade.
This primitive fear, coming from the top of the food chain, is irresistible to any experience or status.
He regretted a little, coming to trouble Redd, or in other words, to test Redd's bottom line, this idea was really stupid.
Now, he felt like a rabbit that strayed into the territory of a pride of lions. He felt uncomfortable all over and just wanted to run away immediately.
Redd keenly noticed the sharp change in Elad's expression and his subconscious steps back.
What surprised him even more was that he discovered that the three big guys King Ghidorah, Ehm and Aegon,
It seemed that he was aware of his subtle vigilance towards Elad and a premonition of "looking for trouble".
He actually leaned forward slightly at the same time, letting out a low, threatening roar from his throat, showing a posture ready to attack at any time.
Their huge, powerful muscles stand out in the sunlight.
Redd I didn't expect these three dragons to be so sensitive. If I felt a little negative in my heart, they would take a stance to kill each other.
He quickly thought and gave the order, "Stop!"
Under the command of Redd, the three giant dragons restrained their obvious hostility.
But the vigilant eyes and slightly arched backs still showed their wariness towards the strange human being in front of them.
Redd touched one of King Ghidorah's heads as if nothing had happened, as if comforting his own pet.
Then he slowly turned to Elad, his tone was calm but with unquestionable pressure:
"Are you here to accuse us, or are you here to provoke? Just tell me."
Hearing this, Elad almost vomited blood on the spot.
He screamed crazily in his heart: Do I dare to say anything in this situation?
Didn't you see that the giant dragon's exposed teeth are taller than me?
My little weight is not even enough to fill the space between its teeth!
He didn't even want to mention what Corlys told him at this moment.
The temptation of the princely title seems so pale and powerless in the face of life and death.
He opened his mouth, but found that his throat was dry and he couldn't say a word for a while. He could only stand there stiffly, in a dilemma.
However, when I think about the upcoming Great Council, it will determine the future direction of House Targaryen.
A critical moment that may even affect the power structure of the entire Seven Kingdoms,
Coupled with the huge temptation Corlys promised him to "take back the new the Gift" that could completely stabilize his position in the north,
Elard finally bit the bullet and squeezed out the truth word by word from his teeth like squeezing out toothpaste:
Corlys promised me that if I can convince you to support Laenor on Great Council and let him sit on Iron Throne, I can take back the new the Gift."
He chose a posture of "telling the truth and explaining everything directly", trying to use honesty to gain the other party's trust, or at least reduce the other party's hostility.
This kind of frankness made Redd feel a little funny.
The corner of his mouth curled up in a playful way, as if he was looking at a monkey who was forced into a corner and had to perform, and asked: How are you going to convince me?"
Elad felt a little hot on his face. He tried hard to force out a smile that he thought was decent but was actually ugly, and said:
Originally, I planned to use part of the trade volume of the Northern Territory in exchange. After all, the resources of the Northern Territory..."
He paused and saw that Redd was obviously indifferent, and even the three dragons began to growl impatiently again. He immediately changed his words, with a hint of determination in his voice:
However, now I have decided to use half of the tax on the new the Gift to convince you."
I have to say that Elad was very smart at the moment, or in other words, very good at assessing the situation.
He saw Redd's disregard for those false reputations and small immediate profits, and instead proposed a seemingly bigger bargaining chip - half of the new the Gift's taxes.
This is actually a complete "blank check".
Because those new the Gift themselves are in a state of controversy, it is still unknown whether they can be fully recovered, let alone the tax share.
Even if Great Council and Laenor really ride on Iron Throne, whether the night watchers are willing to obediently hand over their taxes is still a big question mark.
This is completely a gamble: if things work out, each of us will get half; if things don't work out, everyone will get nothing.
Redd After listening, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes, even a little appreciation.
This old guy really has a second thought. Under such pressure, he can still think of testing the waters with such an ambiguous promise.
However, Redd has no interest in the so-called "half tax". For him, it is just a drop in the bucket.
He even felt that Elad proposed this condition more to show his position and sincerity than because he really thought it would impress him.
Redd did not answer the question. Instead, he changed the topic and looked deeply into the distance.
As if he had penetrated the bustling hustle and bustle of King's Landing, he threw himself at the cold and mysterious place on the map and asked:
How much do you House Stark know about Lands of Always Winter besides the Wall?"
Elard was stunned. He had no idea that Redd would be interested in that deserted Lands of Always Winter, which was only haunted by White Walkers and Wildlings.
He subconsciously wanted to say that there was only ice and snow and death, but looking at Redd's purple eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts,
He suddenly felt that there might be something deeper behind this question that he didn't understand at all.
Elad pondered for a moment and slowly replied: There are indeed some records and old maps about Lands of Always Winter in the family's ancient treasure house.
But..." He changed the subject, with a subtle hint of warning, "Those records have been circulating for a long time, and I am not sure whether the contents are right or wrong.
In my opinion, Lands of Always Winter is a dead place, and anyone who goes deep there will never come back."
He tried to use his family's experience and knowledge to pour cold water on Redd, hinting that he should not have too many illusions about that frozen unknown land.
However, Redd seemed not to take these warnings to heart at all, and his attention was entirely focused on the potential information.
