Chapter 232: Chapter 232: asshai
If Drogon had killed the Black Stone monster a little later, she didn't know whether she and Rhaegal could have maintained a peaceful atmosphere.
Thinking about it now, the consequences were really terrible. If it had been a little later, she might have been eaten by the mad Rego.
"What was that white light in your claws just now?" After relaxing, Daenerys asked the question in her mind again.
[The blessing of the Dragon God can stimulate the power of blood.] Drogon directly stated his innate ability.
I don't know what effect this blessing will have on Daenerys. After all, she is known as the true dragon blood. Although she is not half dragon, she is not afraid of fire and has a very special physique.
Daenerys didn't know what would happen after stimulating the power of her bloodline. After hearing about Drogon's innate ability, she took the opportunity to ask, "Drogon, have you really become a god now?"
[god?]
Hearing Daenerys' question, Drogon also had doubts in his mind.
The God he believed in was almost omnipotent, and he seemed to be a long way from the God in his mind.
However, in this world, those who can cure terminal illnesses, grant believers magical powers, and even bring the dead back to life can indeed be called gods.
[Maybe I am a dragon god!] Drogon gave Daenerys an uncertain reply.
"oh."
This was expected, and Daenerys nodded silently after hearing Drogon's answer.
I thought of Balerion, the Black Death, who lived for two hundred years during the Aegon calendar.
Drogon has become a dragon god and must live longer than Balerion, but he is just an ordinary human, or a human who has mastered magic, and can only live to be a hundred years at most.
Thinking about the days and nights she spent with drogon, she didn't want to be separated from him even if she lived to be a hundred years old, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad.
Daenerys didn't speak again, and Drogon thought she was tired and didn't want to talk, so he carried her slowly eastward.
Yiti did not see any more cities to the east, and had not reached Asshai until evening. Drogon had no choice but to find a place by the river to set up his tent and spend the night there.
After flying for a whole day and not having a proper meal, Drogon instructed Rhaegal to protect Daenerys while he went to the forest more than ten kilometers away to hunt for game.
Fortunately, although there are few people here, there are many wild animals. It didn't take long to catch a few pheasants and wild deer.
Daenerys had already set up the grill and found some dry firewood, and she helped Drogon gut the wild deer and clean the venison.
While Daenerys was grilling, Drogon caught a few wild deer and boars. The pheasants and rabbits were just to change Daenerys's taste. If he and Rhaegal wanted to fill their stomachs, they still needed large animals like wild boars.
The bigger the body, the more it eats. Drogon can now eat five cows in one meal. He doubts whether the sheep on the Dothraki grasslands will only be enough to feed his one dragon if it continues to grow like this.
After catching wild boars a few times, Drogon turned into a baby boar and helped Daenerys clean up the barbecue, allowing Rhaegal to continue catching.
Fortunately, they had prepared and brought several large grills, which they disassembled and had Rego carry on his back. Otherwise, with only the small grill they would have to grill enough meat for the whole night.
Several barbecue racks were filled up one after another. drogon held the seasoning bag and sprinkled the seasoning back and forth between the racks and turned the skewers.
The pheasants and hares were roasted first. Drogon let Daenerys eat first, but he only tasted two bites and continued to wait for the large game.
The second person to start eating was Rhaegal. She was not that particular about food and would eat it without the deer being roasted too thoroughly. Only Drogon was the most particular. He roasted the deer until it was golden brown before eating it slowly.
The other barbecued meats were not yet cooked, so he did not turn into an adult, but ate them as a juvenile.
The adults are too big and can eat more and more. On the grassland, "wolf devouring" is far from enough to describe its eating speed; it is more like "whale swallowing".
The situation of eating slowly and in small sips like now is becoming less and less common.
He ate in small bites for a while, and waited until the other pieces of the meat were cooked. Then he turned into an adult and chewed them in big mouthfuls, eating the finished pieces and then grilling new ones.
The meat that was put on the grill again was not as delicate as the first time.
As his appetite gradually increased, drogon would only savor the food for a while at the beginning of each meal. Later on, he would just eat it with a little taste. After all, no matter how good the food tasted, it would be a waste if he swallowed it all.
After finishing two batches of barbecue, looking at Rhaegal who was still waiting by the meat rack, Drogon didn't expect that she was not full yet. If she ate so much normally, she would have stopped eating long ago.
At this moment, Drogon suddenly thought of something. He observed Rhaegal until she ate almost twice as much food as usual. Only then did he completely confirm his thoughts that the blessing of the Dragon God might have taken effect.
A dragon's growth rate is directly related to its food intake. Since Rego has suddenly become so hungry, his growth rate will surely accelerate.
As the size increases, the strength and power of dragon flame will also increase simultaneously.
After noticing the changes in Rhaegal, Drogon turned his attention to Daenerys, who was also blessed by the Dragon God. He wondered what changes she would have.
His appetite didn't increase, maybe the Dragon God's blessing was not reflected in this aspect. Fortunately, his appetite didn't increase, otherwise Daenerys would be worried.
The meal took nearly two hours to finish. After the meal, Drogon asked Rhaegal to fight with him to test her strength and fire power at this time.
During a fight, Drogon suppressed his strength to a level comparable to Rhaegal's, otherwise the fight would be impossible.
After testing Rhaegal, Drogon let Daenerys practice fire magic in the moonlight.
Not understanding why Drogon asked her to practice at night, Daenerys still suppressed her doubts and released a few fireballs. She was surprised to find that the fireballs were about half larger than before, and their power and temperature were also greatly increased.
The speed of condensing the fireball is faster than before, and it feels easy.
Drogon also noticed the changes in Daenerys' magic and asked her about her feelings when she released magic.
It is determined that one of the reasons why the magic released by Daenerys has greatly increased in power may be because she has become stronger again, which has caused the power of the magic she borrowed to increase simultaneously.
Another reason is most likely the blessing of the Dragon God, which improved her magical talent. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why Daenerys's magical power has increased so much and her proficiency in casting magic has increased so quickly.
After noticing the huge change in her ability to release magic, Daenerys understood why Drogon asked her to practice magic at night, and she also guessed that the blessing of the Dragon God during the day had taken effect.
After completing the test on the two men, they had a good night's rest and continued heading east the next day. The road was desolate all over, and it was not until the afternoon that Drogon saw the huge city standing in the distance.
He flapped his wings a few times and flew closer to the city. Looking at the city built entirely of black stones, even Daenerys felt a sense of weirdness and wondered what the difference was between the black stones here and the black stones of Iti.
Looking at the city built entirely of black stone, Drogon knew that he had reached the destination of this journey: Asshai beside the shadows.
Instead of flying into the city, Drogon landed outside Asshai beside a wide river.
The river water is pure black, like black oil flowing quietly, without any ripples and without a single reflection in the sun.
