Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 37: The Dragon Egg Lost Its Vitality

"Dragon bones? How many are there? Take me to see them right away." Gavin excitedly threw down the map in his hand upon hearing about the existence of dragon bones, and pulled Hassan, eager to go and see them.

Soon, in an underground treasure house, Gavin saw the dragon bones. This was a very well-preserved dragon bone, not the fragmented state that Gavin thought.

Gavin made a quick visual estimate and found that the dragon's wingspan was probably 8 meters and its length was no less than 11 meters. It was obviously an adult dragon. For some reason, its dragon bones ended up in the treasure house of a pirate leader.

Gavin placed his hand on the head of the dragon bone, feeling the magic contained in it. However, the result disappointed him. There was indeed magic inside, but it was not much for this huge dragon bone. It was estimated that absorbing all of it might bring him more than 10 points of energy.

Gavin guessed that the amount of magic contained in the dragon bones was obviously affected by the dragon's size and strength when it was alive. The best one was undoubtedly the pendant made of Belleris's dragon bones in his hand. The magic power of other small dragon bones was naturally scarce.

However, although it was a bit disappointing, this was undoubtedly the first time that Gavin had obtained such a huge potential energy point, which was also a considerable gain.

Then, Gavin asked Hassan next to him: "Have you asked where this dragon bone came from?" Hassan immediately replied: "When I found it, I asked the pirates who were guarding here before. I heard that it was found on this island."

After hearing the origin of the dragon bones, Gavin was very surprised. He didn't expect that there were dragon bones on this island, and a complete set at that. Doesn't this mean that a dragon once died here?

Then he immediately asked Hassan to call the guard who had been questioned before, and Gavin questioned him in detail.

It turned out that after the black shark "Earl" occupied Shipwreck Bay, the pirates explored the entire island. They found the dragon skeleton in a cave, and because the dragon skeleton was quite valuable, they brought it back intact.

After hearing this, Gavin immediately asked the pirate to be his guide and take him to have a look.

After marching for a whole day towards the depths of the island, Gavin and his team finally reached the cave where the dragon bones were found.

As soon as they stepped into the cave, a damp and slightly decayed smell hit them. The cave was extremely spacious. Gavin carefully led everyone to explore this dark environment. Their footsteps echoed in the empty cave, and they were particularly clear.

Gavin's eyes scanned the surroundings carefully, not missing any corner.

Finally, he found a special place. In the narrow gap formed by two huge rocks, the material in the middle was completely different from the surrounding rocks.

It was a dark red material with a slightly rough surface. It looked like a unique shape formed by high-temperature magma cooling and solidifying. Gavin immediately picked up the tools and began to dig hard, using all his strength every time. As he dug, the gravel rolled down, and finally, a gray dragon egg appeared in front of everyone.

However, this dragon egg has become dull and its surface is covered with tiny cracks. It is obviously a dragon egg that has lost its vitality, and there is even no magic power inside the dragon egg.

Looking at the dragon egg in his hand, Gavin felt a little disappointed, but he still carefully put it into the bag and planned to take it back.

Afterwards, Gavin and his team searched the cave carefully for a long time, not leaving any corner untouched, but in the end, they found nothing new. Helplessly, Gavin could only sigh and choose to lead the team back. At night in Shipwreck Bay, Gavin sat alone on the throne, with the dragon bone placed next to the throne. He gently placed his hand on the dragon bone, slowly absorbing the magic power from it.

Gavin's brows were furrowed, with a myriad of thoughts in his mind. Although he had successfully ruled Shipwreck Bay by force and fear, and had recruited more than a dozen pirate ships and more than 700 pirates, he knew very well that these pirates were fickle and were only temporarily submitting to his powerful force.

Outside, the forces left behind by the Black Shark "Earl" should not be underestimated. There are more than fifty pirate ships and nearly four thousand pirates scattered on nearby islands, and they are still unaware of the change of ownership of Shipwreck Bay.

The situation in the entire Stepstones is even more chaotic. The Dornishmen in the west, the Kingdom of the Three Daughters in the east, and the temporarily defeated Thorn Family, each force is far more powerful than himself.

Gavin was thinking about the Shipwreck Bay in his hands. Should he keep it or give it up decisively?
Gavin sat there thinking for a long time, his mind was full of mixed thoughts. The situation in the Stone Steps Islands was in chaos. It seemed that anyone could become the king of the Stone Steps Islands as long as they had enough strength. In this case, it would be better to take it one step at a time.

His eyes became firm, and he had a preliminary plan in mind. First, he had to reorganize the pirates under his rule, eliminate those who were undisciplined and undisciplined, and at the same time strengthen training to improve their combat effectiveness and discipline.

Next, try to control more islands to expand your sphere of influence.

After all, his coming to the Shipwreck Bay and the Stone Steps Islands was an accident. If he failed in the end, the worst that could happen was that he would run away. After all, the Stone Steps Islands was a large piece of territory. As long as there was a glimmer of hope, it was worth fighting for. Maybe he could carve out a world of his own in this chaotic place.

The next day, Gavin came to the large dock. As soon as he stepped in, the rich smell of wood and tung oil hit his nose.

There are no free craftsmen here. All the workers are shipbuilding slaves purchased from Slave Bay. They are focused and perform their tasks skillfully.

Gavin paid special attention to the flagship Black Shark that Earl had prepared for him. It was almost completed. It was an extremely magnificent wooden sailing ship, 80 meters long and 20 meters wide. There were three tall masts standing on the deck like giant pillars.

The main mast is over 50 meters high, thick and straight, able to withstand huge wind forces. The hull is huge and sturdy, with smooth and graceful lines.

At critical moments, oars can be extended from both sides of the hull to increase speed through human assistance, achieving coordinated propulsion of human and wind power.

There are 8 crossbows neatly placed on the front and rear decks of the ship, like majestic guards, ready to spray angry flames at the enemy at any time, showing a powerful deterrent effect.

Gavin called the slaves in charge of management and some highly skilled craftsman slaves, and communicated with them to learn about the situation of the entire shipyard in detail.

Gavin looked at the slave steward in front of him seriously and said, "Tell me about your living environment and accommodation conditions here."
