Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 4 High Valyrian

But Gawain knew that the Tyrells did not win the war in the end. They were just stranded in a camp outside Storm's End for more than a year until Robert Baratheon defeated Rhaegar Targaryen and ascended the Iron Throne, and the war ended.

The King Aerys Targaryen, to whom the Reach was originally loyal, was murdered by his Kingsguard, while the former enemy turned into the new king. The Tyrells even besieged the king's castle for a whole year, forcing the king's brother to eat rats in the castle. I'm afraid that the Tyrells will have to work non-stop to ease relations with the Iron Throne. According to the plot timeline, the war is about to end.

Soon Raman came out quickly with a small can of goat's milk. He first pinched Gavin's face affectionately, then handed him the goat's milk, then squatted down and kissed his pink little face tenderly.

Although Gavin felt very embarrassed, in order not to reveal his flaws, he could only pretend to be a child and accept it silently. After all, the other party not only gave money, but also some extra food. And according to Gavin's understanding, the 40-year-old Laman boss lady still has no children of her own, so he could understand the other party's behavior.

Walking on the path home, Gavin's mind was in a tizzy, thinking about the plot of this world.

Yes, Gavin had figured it out three years ago that the world he came to was exactly the American TV series "Game of Thrones" that he had watched in his previous life.

At first he thought this was the Middle Ages in a parallel world, until three years ago when the servants in the castle started talking about it.

Robert Baratheon of Storm's End, together with Eddard Stark of the North, Hoster Tully of the Riverlands, and Jon Arryn of the Vale, launched a rebellion against the Iron Throne. These familiar names and families instantly brought back Gavin's past memories.

It was at this time that his uncle Edmund Cotoin responded to the call and led his troops to Highgarden. If we calculate according to the time of the plot, the war will end soon.

Gavin, who knows the direction of the plot, is also quietly planning his future path in his heart. With the unique advantage of foresight, can he successfully cling to the thigh of a powerful person in the future, so as to naturally get rid of his identity as an illegitimate child that makes him discriminated against, and transform himself into a noble lord.

Just like Bronn in the play. You know, Bronn was originally just a mercenary of humble origin, but eventually became a de facto earl.

Moreover, the knowledge and technology that Gavin possessed far surpassed the current level of this world. He firmly believed that with these advanced and unique things, he would be able to open up an industry that would bring him huge wealth.

In addition, Gavin is more interested in magic. In this world, magic is real and undoubtedly exists, and as far as the current situation is concerned, he already has the potential to perform magic. Gavin secretly wondered, if he could find a way to study systematically, after the arrival of the red comet, would he be able to become stronger in magic, and would he be able to gain more powerful power and pursue more mysterious and extraordinary things? For all of this, he was full of expectations and longings.

Gavin suppressed his chaotic thoughts, carefully held the small can of goat milk, and hurried back home. Inside the house, his mother lay weakly on the bed, coughing one after another, as if she was going to cough out her heart and lungs. Seeing Gavin coming back, his mother endured the discomfort of her body, tried to squeeze out a smile, and greeted him.

Then, the mother struggled to sit up and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "It's time for us to study." She took out a book from a small box under the bed. The cover of the book was worn and the paper was made of sheepskin.

A year ago, his mother began to teach him some strange words and languages. Recently, this teaching has become more frequent and systematic. But strangely, these words and languages ​​do not belong to the common language of Westeros. Gavin also secretly guessed that this might be the language and words of Essos, after all, his mother came from there. Although he was full of curiosity, he knew that knowledge was extremely valuable and it was never a bad thing to master one more language, so he never went to the bottom of it.

In the evening, Gavin finished teaching. Alice looked at her smart son, who had learned to read and write High Valyrian in just one year. There was something inexplicable in her eyes, and she unconsciously touched the pendant on her chest.

This is a unique pendant, carefully carved from bone. The overall shape is round and oval, smooth to the touch but with a hint of mysterious coolness. On its surface, there is a hexagonal pattern protruding. This pattern is strange and bizarre, as if it contains some ancient and profound secrets, and it seems to be a symbol of mysterious power. Alice's eyes gradually became firm as she touched the pendant, as if she had made up her mind.

Alice gently stroked Gavin's silver hair, her face full of tenderness, and asked softly: "Gavin, have you heard of Valyria?"

Gavin was very surprised that his mother would suddenly ask this question. However, after thinking about the plot he knew, he answered after a little thought:
"I've heard from the maesters in the castle that the Valyrian Freehold was extremely powerful before the Doom. There were 40 dragon families who jointly held political meetings. They had thousands of dragons and conquered most of the continent of Essos. But after the Doom, all the dragon families except the Targaryens disappeared. Even though the Targaryens who survived were only a small marginal family among the 40 dragon families, the power they left behind still successfully conquered Westeros."

Gavin looked at his mother's silver hair and purple eyes with doubts in his heart. Then he thought about his own similar appearance and made some guesses in his heart. He asked tentatively, "Mother, why are you asking me this question?"

Alice's expression suddenly became serious, and she said to Gavin:
"Gavin, in fact, after the Doomsday, not only the Targaryen family survived, but also many dragon king families. However, after the Doomsday, the dragons outside also died one after another for unknown reasons. In the following Bloody Age, several major city-states rebelled, and the rioting slaves killed many dragon kings who lost their dragons. Only the Targaryen who hid on Dragonstone survived."

Gavin stared at his mother with wide eyes in disbelief, but in his heart he was looking forward to his guess and waiting for her to continue.
