Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 56 News from the Expedition Team
Boris then said, "My lord, there is one more thing. The messenger sent to Braavos has returned."

Gawen leaned forward eagerly and asked, "How is it? Will the Sea King sell me the Valyrian steel sword?"

Boris looked embarrassed and stammered, "The messenger said that the Sea King refused. However, the Sea King said that he would like to invite you to Braavos as a guest. If you like, you can visit the Sea King's treasure house there, but the items in the treasure house are not for sale."

After hearing this, Gavin frowned, his eyes revealing a hint of displeasure and disappointment. He slowly leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms over his chest, and said after a moment of silence: "The Sea King of Braavos is really stubborn." Boris lowered his head and dared not breathe.

Gavin gritted his teeth and continued, "Forget it, let's ignore him for now, Boris. Regarding the allocation of personnel, I will weigh the conditions of each island and try my best to meet your needs, but you also have to find a way to improve efficiency and can't just rely on increasing manpower."

Boris nodded quickly and said, "Thank you, sir. I will do my best." Gavin waved his hand, motioning Boris to step down first. After Boris saluted again, he turned and left the study.

Gavin sat in a chair, lost in thought, thinking: The reason why the Sea King doesn't sell it now is just because his strength is not strong enough. If one day his fleet becomes so strong that the Sea King is afraid of it, I don't believe he will dare not sell it.

Thinking of this, Gavin became more determined to explore Valyria. Compared with the fleet, the dragon eggs were more attractive.

Over the years, Gavin had also tried to buy dragon eggs, and was lucky enough to acquire two lifeless dragon egg fossils. As for the dragon eggs obtained by Illyrio, the spies sent by Gavin have been keeping an eye on them, but have not found anything so far.

It is not certain whether he has not yet obtained the dragon egg, or has hidden the dragon egg too deeply. If it is the former, rash action may lead to the loss of the dragon egg. For now, Gavin can only wait.

During the following period, Gavin took Edmond and his family to tour the entire Stepstone Islands and appreciate the unique scenery of each island.

Until the day they boarded the ship and set off on their return journey, both of them seemed reluctant to leave at the dock. Edmond looked at Gavin in front of him, his eyes full of deep concern and reluctance: "Gavin, you must take good care of yourself. Now that you have a huge territory, you must remember to get married as soon as possible and give birth to an heir. Only in this way can you stabilize the hearts of your subordinates." Gavin nodded heavily and said firmly: "Uncle, don't worry, I have a plan in mind."

Afterwards, Edmond and his family boarded the ship. When the ship slowly sailed away from the dock and gradually went away, Gavin still stood there, staring at the direction where the ship was going for a long time. The sea breeze gently brushed his face, and his thoughts drifted away with it.

A month later, Hassan hurried to Gavin's study, and Gavin finally received the news he had been waiting for.

Hassan reported: "Sir, the expedition teams we hired earlier have returned."

Gavin looked stern and asked anxiously, "What's the situation?"

Hassan said solemnly, "Sir, the navigation map you gave me is correct, and the ship can indeed sail in without any hindrance, but the sea of ​​smoke is very dangerous.

After the ship entered the ruins of Valyria, the people on board began to fall ill for no reason. Their skin first became red, swollen and itchy, then ulcerated and oozing pus and blood. Their hair fell out in clumps, their spirits were extremely depressed, their bodies became weaker and weaker, and they often vomited.

And those who came back reported that they heard some strange roaring noises coming from the shore, and they didn't know what kind of monster there was in the fog.

There were 40 people on the expedition, including the crew, and only 15 of them returned alive. Now, several of these 15 are seriously ill. The people who stayed on the ship heard that the people who went ashore seemed to be attacked by some creatures. In the end, after waiting for a day, no one returned, so they had no choice but to return. "

Gavin frowned, thought for a moment and then said, "I see. Since there is no problem with the waterway, let's prepare manpower and ships."

Hassan showed a worried look on his face and advised: "Sir, can you not go on the expedition? The Stepstone Islands cannot be without you now."

Gavin smiled and consoled him, "It's okay. You forgot that I know magic. The things inside pose no threat to me."

Hassan said eagerly, "My Lord, please let me go with you."

Gavin shook his head and refused, "You can't do that. You still have to be in charge of the fleet. There is news that the Sanggah have gathered more than 40 warships in Rees. Although they are all old longboats, it is better to be careful. You must keep a close eye on them. After I leave, the safety of the territory will be handed over to you." Then, without waiting for Hassan to speak, he ordered, "Go and arrange the ships. We will set off in two days."

Watching Hassan leaving, Gavin thought to himself: With my current strength, it shouldn't be too dangerous to explore the dragon cave of the Belleris family.

The route marked on the navigation map obtained earlier happened to be able to sail to the coast closest to the dragon's lair. As long as they got off the ship at that location, it would only take two days to reach Belleris's dragon's lair. Gavin planned to take only his blood dragon guards with him on this expedition. Once they landed on the land of Valyria, they could ride on horseback at full speed at night and reach their destination in one day. He opened the panel to check.

Host: Gavin Belleris

Blood and Fire Dragonborn (63% developed): Bloodline of the Dragon King, ability to control dragons and flames, resistance to fire.

Gavin looked at the panel and thought: With these high-level blood dragon guards, I should be able to deal with most dangers. In the past two years, Gavin has obtained a lot of dragon bones through Littlefinger Petyr, and his strength has been greatly enhanced.

As his bloodline developed over 60%, some of his skills were unlocked to the legendary level, and the corresponding flame manipulation was upgraded to flame control. When his bloodline development reached 60%, he also gained the ability of flame resistance, which made him extremely immune to high temperatures and magic flames.

Gavin now can easily defeat hundreds of people with just a sword, and his strength doubles after using the flame blade.
