Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 68 Braavos
The energy required to increase the Blazing Shadow alone would consume all the dragon bones he obtained from one expedition. Unless he went on another expedition to Valyria, it would be difficult to achieve.

At this time, the sea was getting more and more violent, and the Belleris was shaking violently in the waves. Gavin held on to the side of the ship tightly, trying his best to keep his balance, and then he released the Blazing Shadow, letting it soar in the air, and hurried back to the room.

A month later, at dusk, the fleet finally arrived in Braavos.

Braavos is located at the northwestern tip of the Essos continent. It consists of hundreds of islands and is located exactly where the Narrow Sea and the Shivering Sea meet.

Behind the city is a swampy continent surrounded by mountainous islands, with only one natural strait that can accommodate ocean-going merchant ships. The Braavos built a magnificent statue at this entrance - the Titan.

As the fleet approached Braavos and the statue of the Titan was clearly visible, Gavin was greeted by the Sea King's messenger, who boarded the Belleris in a small boat.

When the messenger saw Gavin, he bowed and said, "Welcome, Sir Gavin. I am Teren Reyen, and I am here to greet you on the orders of His Majesty the Sea King."

Gavin smiled and looked at the rather fat envoy of the Sea King. He said, "Envoy Tyron, you are too polite. I should be grateful to His Majesty the Sea King for inviting me to enjoy the scenery of Braavos."

Tyron Reyen smiled and said, "Sir Gavin, His Majesty the Sea King has prepared a beautiful seaside villa for you, and will hold a banquet tomorrow to welcome you. The port has also prepared berths, food and accommodation for your fleet and soldiers. After you go ashore, I will lead you to your villa to rest."

Gavin responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Sea King, for your careful arrangements. I will be your envoy later."

Tyron Reyen looked around first, then asked with a little doubt: "Sir Gavin, excuse me for asking, but I heard that you brought your dragon with you this time? How come I didn't see it?"

Gawen answered immediately, "The Blazing Shadow flew to the sea to find food. Besides, if it flew over Braavos, it would inevitably disturb the people in the city, so I didn't let it get close."

After hearing this, Tyronn Reyen said: "On behalf of the people of Braavos, I thank Ser Gawain for your kindness. But there is no need to worry about disturbing the people. I am afraid they have long been eager to see the true appearance of the dragon. Even His Majesty the Sea King and I are very curious about the dragon."

Gavin smiled and declined, "I'm afraid it's not possible right now. Blazing Shadow won't be able to fly back for a while. I'm sorry I can't satisfy your curiosity right away. When it flies back, I'll let you and His Majesty the Sea King watch it."

Gavin stood on the deck of the Belleris, looking up at the statue that was hundreds of meters tall, and was deeply shocked. He couldn't help but secretly wonder how this giant statue was built.

Tyron Reyyan, who was standing by, immediately introduced to Gavin, “The Titan Statue was built by the escaped slaves who first came here. At that time, they were led by the Moon Singer to this remote and seldom visited place. With the help of the materials here, they spent a lot of time and energy to build this Titan Statue.”

After hearing this, Gavin asked, "I heard that this statue can make sounds?"

After hearing this, Tyron Reyen showed a proud expression on his face and explained: "It can indeed make sounds. It is not only a statue, but also a perfect defensive fortress. It is next to the battle fortress, and it serves as a warning and defense against foreign enemies, protecting the peace of our city. Whenever an enemy ship approaches, the Titan will roar loudly to warn us of the enemy's arrival." Hearing Tyron Reyen's explanation, Gavin nodded slightly and said nothing more, but secretly guessed in his heart that the role of this statue may not only be to warn and defend against enemies from the sea, but its main role may be to guard against dragons in the sky. After all, Braavos was built by slaves who escaped from Valyria's slavery. They were worried about being captured by the Valyrian Dragon King, so they went to such great lengths to build these defensive facilities.

The fleet slowly sailed in from under the Titan, and after entering the natural gorge, Gavin saw the battle fortresses and huge docks on both sides. Countless catapults and crossbows were scattered on the cliff tops on both sides, and countless purple warships were also docked here.

Gavin had heard from Hassan that when slaves who escaped from Valyria came here, they found sea snails that could be made into dark purple dye. In order to change the appearance of the stolen ships, they dyed them purple. After that, this custom continued, and the entire Braavos fleet was dyed purple, so it was also called the Purple Fleet.

As the Belleris slowly approached the shore, Gavin stepped onto the bustling dock of Braavos. As the most prosperous and powerful of the free trade cities, Braavos's most important dock was naturally extremely prosperous.

The Ragsman's Wharf in the west is crowded with ships from all over the world, colorful sails fluttering in the wind. Merchant ships from Qarth and the Summer Isles, long-distance ships from Asshai and the Jade Isles, and ships of all sizes and shapes gather here.

The dock was crowded with people, busy but orderly. The customs officials of the Sea King carefully checked the cargo holds of each ship at the square dock, and carefully recorded the types and quantities of the goods.

Under the guidance of Terran Reyyan, Gavin got on the wheelchair prepared for him by Aquaman.

The wheelhouse moved smoothly on the streets of Braavos, with Gawain's Blood Dragon Guards and nearly a hundred guards following closely behind.

Through the car window, Gavin admired the unique cityscape of Braavos, passed many stone arch bridges connecting the islands, and saw the sweet water canal used to bring fresh water from the mainland.

Inside the wheelhouse, Tyron Reyen broke the silence and said to Gavin respectfully, "Sir Gavin, two more of your people will be attending tomorrow's banquet."

Gavin looked puzzled: "Tribe members?"

Tyron Reyen hurriedly explained: "They are the exiled brother and sister of the Targaryen family."

Seeing that Gavin was still confused, Tyron Reyen asked tentatively: "Could it be that Ser Gavin's ability to tame dragons did not come from the Targaryens?"

Gavin smiled slightly, realizing that this was probably what the Sea King wanted to find out, so he explained frankly: "There used to be 40 dragon king families in Valyria, and Targaryens were not the only ones who could ride dragons. My dragon riding bloodline comes from other dragon king families."

After hearing this, Terran Reyyan said quickly, "I see. I'll let the brother and sister go tomorrow."
