Chapter 69 Crab Claw Peninsula

Dark night, above the narrow sea

Rhaegar rode the Glutton soaring over the turbulent seas.

The glutton's abdomen was severely injured, and blood kept flowing, staining the sea surface red where it passed.

After a thrilling experience, Rhaegar realized that his heartbeat was speeding up.

He patted the glutton's scales and asked, "Why did those two dragons attack you?"

He knew it was a conspiracy.

But I am still curious about how Wormisor and Silver Wing were provoked.

Gluttony growled, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Rhaegar heard its meaning.

At night, someone fed it many cattle and sheep.

During this period, he also threw a dragon egg to it.

As a wild dragon that likes to eat dragon eggs, it is natural that gluttons will accept all comers.

Makes up for the snack tasting after failing to hunt the baby dragon.

Rhaegar held his forehead helplessly, and he guessed that the glutton must have done something outrageous to attract the attack of Vermithor and Silver Wing.

"Dragon eggs and young dragons are treasures on Dragonstone Island. You are not allowed to steal food again!" Rhaegar gave a stern order.

"Roar……"

Despite being seriously injured, Gluttony remained proud and growled in protest.

Rhaegar tried to communicate with it and discussed giving up his obsession with dragon eggs and young dragons.

Gluttonous is a straight-tempered dragon and does not hide the reason why he steals dragon eggs and young dragons.

"The territory of Dragonstone Island is too small. If you don't steal dragon eggs and baby dragons, the growing dragons will squeeze your living space?"

Rhaegar read its meaning.

"Don't worry, Dragonstone Island really can't accommodate too many dragons. I will find living space for the new generation of dragons."

"And you, my friend, are not allowed to steal dragon eggs and baby dragons anymore. I will order you to prepare enough livestock on time!"

Understanding the glutton's concerns, Rhaegar proposed a solution to the problem.

The glutton flew away with his head down, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Rhaegar said no more.

When it comes to territory and living space, neither dragons nor humans will give in easily.

By finding more land suitable for dragons to survive, the glutton's habits will naturally change.

……

The glutton flew farther and farther, and Rhaegar did not know where it was going.

Most likely it's in the Narrow Sea.

One thing is bad.

Rhaegar was keenly aware that the glutton's flying speed gradually slowed down and his breathing began to take a heavy breath.

"Your injuries are serious. We need to find a place to stay."

Rhaegar reminded him worriedly, noting the glutton's bleeding abdomen and other wounds.

"Roar……"

Gluttony roared back, but it seemed weak compared to the loudness before.

At the break of dawn.

The rays of the morning sun filtered through the clouds and mist, and Rhaegar lay tiredly on Glutton's back, overlooking the sea below.

Suddenly, he saw the edge of a piece of land.

Slowly, more and more land appeared, including dense forests and endless mountains.

"Hurry! We have found the land, glutton." Rhaegar pointed downwards excitedly.

Gluttony glanced at him sideways and lowered his height without saying a word.

Of course it knows where the land is.

As a wild dragon that likes to wander around, it knows exactly where there is a suitable place to stay.

From the ocean to the land, Rhaegar experienced a different kind of novelty.

He originally planned to ride a glutton to travel across the continent and explore around.

Unexpectedly, I didn't prepare a plan, so I set off passively.

The glutton crossed the barren land near the sea and soared among the jagged mountains and peaks.

Landed in a valley intertwined with dense forests, swamps and rivers.

The moment he landed, the glutton's feet were already unsteady. He staggered a few steps and fell heavily on the muddy grass.

A deep ravine was plowed.

Rhaegar, who had not slept a wink all night, was already exhausted. He did not hold on tightly before landing, and was thrown off the dragon's back following the trajectory of the glutton's fall.

He fell to the ground with a thud, rolled twice, and fainted.

For a moment, one person and one dragon fell down one after another, looking slightly miserable.

"Hiss..."

The dragon's physique is indeed powerful.

Despite the second trauma to his abdomen and bleeding, the glutton still managed to push himself up and stand up unsteadily.

He looked at Lei Jia who had fainted on the ground with vertical pupils, and there was a trace of hesitation in his eyes. He lowered his head and arched Rhaegar's body, changing his lying position to lying flat on his back.

The steady rise and fall of its chest proved that its dragon master was still alive.

Fortunately, the grass where Rhaegar landed was soft enough and had a shock-absorbing effect.

Rhaegar was just tired and sleepy and fell unconscious, with no obvious injuries.

The glutton stretched his neck and looked at the environment of the valley.

It specifically chose a good place to land, and there were things nearby that could help it speed up its recovery from its wounds.

There are no large beasts in the valley, and there are many caves suitable for hiding on the cliffs.

The glutton opened his mouth and gently held Rhaegar in his mouth, then walked towards a cave with a wide view.

It placed Rhaegar at the entrance of the cave and slowly arched his nose into the cave.

It has to find something to heal its wounds. The Dragon Rider is too fragile to go to that kind of place.

Hiding is a good choice.

Anyway, with its speed, it will be back soon.

The glutton crawled out of the valley.

When he stopped at the mouth of the valley, he looked back at the cave where Rhaegar was hiding.

After pausing for a moment, he lifted his tail slightly and pulled out a piece of dragon dung.

Just in case, leave his mark so that no wild beast dares to disturb him.

After doing everything well, the glutton let out a long roar and flapped its wings to fly high again.

……

noon.

The sun was high in the sky and the forest valleys were filled with warmth.

Rhaegar's eyelids trembled as he was in the cave, as if he was about to wake up.

At this time, there was a sound in the valley

"Come and take a look, there's such a big and long blood stain. I don't know what kind of giant beast left it."

"Tormund, be careful, there is something strange in this valley."

"..."

Hearing chaotic conversations, Rhaegar slowly opened his eyes and looked around blankly.

"Where is this, the glutton?"

Looking at the cave filled with cobwebs, Rhaegar was a little confused.

He remembered that the Gluttons found a piece of land and they came to a hidden valley...

Then, he didn't know.

"Someone is setting me up, and there is a dragon ambushing me in the dark..."

Lei Jia suddenly remembered the scene of the sneak attack.

But who has the ability to sneak into Dragonstone Island and secretly plot against him?

Rhaegar's mind turned over and over again for people with such motivations and abilities, and he could only think of one.

"When I go back, I won't let you go!"

Guessing who the murderer was, Rhaegar secretly clenched his fists.

……

"Sister, come quickly, there are new traces in front of this cave."

Just as he was thinking about it, a childish cry came from outside the cave, calling for his companions.

A sound of rustling footsteps followed closely behind.

Rhaegar suddenly became nervous.

He stood up gently, took out a dagger from the space bracelet, and hid it behind his waist.

In a short time, the sounds outside the cave got closer and closer.

Rhaegar frowned and tightened his grip on the dagger.

Being in an unknown place, with the dragon not by his side, it was too dangerous for him as a young child to be alone.

"Who's in there, come out!"

A girl's scolding came from outside the cave.

Rhaegar tilted his head, his mind racing.

Judging from the previous sounds, there were about three people outside.

Two little boys and a girl called sister.

Rhaegar blinked, feeling that the danger was greatly reduced.

As long as he was not left among the savages, with his harmless age and noble origin, he was confident that no one would be stupid enough to hurt him.

It would be better if you meet a nobleman hunting.

Not to mention holding a grand celebration to welcome him.

At least he'll be entertained with delicious food and drinks, and escorted back to King's Landing safely.

 A new journey, when Rhaegar returns, will change the situation.
