Chapter 189 Taming a Dragon and Becoming a Dragon Rider
There was nothing more to discuss after that.
The people who were discussing the matter came to a newly built dragon cave in the mountains near Eastwatch. When Daenerys saw the open-air dragon cave in the valley that was as big as a city and the three dragons hovering in the sky with joy, a trace of displeasure suddenly appeared on her face. She looked at Leon beside her and advised in a worried tone:
"Commander-in-Chief Lyon, although the dragons are also my children, I have to say that you, the Dragon Lord, are too indulgent towards these dragons."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Leon looked at Daenerys with interest.
"As long as dragons are given enough food and a large enough space, they will continue to grow. I believe that Commander-in-Chief Leon must have heard this, and judging from Balerion's size, I believe Commander-in-Chief Leon does the same!"
Daenerys' tone was a little awkward.
"Yes." Leon nodded, he did not deny it.
"But you are wrong to do so! Letting a dragon grow without restraint is not good for it!" Daenerys continued, "Excessive growth will make the dragon's body become huge and bulky, losing its original flexibility and speed. Moreover, a huge body requires more food and energy to maintain, which consumes a lot of resources."
"I have been prepared for this."
Lyon said, looking at Euron Greyjoy beside him.
Euron was no longer the evil and wild man he was in the past. He stayed beside Lyon and behaved like a eunuch. Seeing Lyon looking at him, he quickly stepped forward and introduced himself to Daenerys:
"Sea monsters can serve as food for Balerion. My contracted summoned beast Godzilla often fights with its kind in the deep sea. The bodies of the defeated can serve as food for the dragon!"
Faced with Euron's explanation, Daenerys was speechless. After a moment, she said angrily:
"More importantly, the huge size of the dragon will easily arouse the vigilance and fear of other forces, which may bring us unnecessary trouble."
Just when Leon was about to analyze Daenerys' words and deeds from some unfounded perspective, Daenerys immediately made a frightening inference.
"When I was traveling in Essos, I learned something from many ancient Valyrian books that the emperor of the ancient Valyrian Empire tried to cultivate a giant dragon that was unprecedented and unparalleled, but because of this, he suffered a catastrophe that destroyed the entire empire! I believe this is not just a legend, it is very likely one of the reasons for the destruction of the ancient Valyrian Empire."
Leon was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
Regarding this, I just want to tell you that if anyone or any existence dares to threaten me and my dragon, then I will destroy it without mercy! "Leon looked up at the blue sky and said with a firm look in his eyes, as if declaring his determination to the whole world.
“Even if it’s the one who brought down the natural disaster, as long as he dares to do whatever he wants, burn, kill, and plunder in Donghaiwang, I will never let him go easily!”
Hearing such majestic and solemn words from Lyon, Daenerys fell silent for an instant, her heart full of doubts and confusion.
She really couldn't understand where Lyon got such confidence, but Euron, who was standing beside her, smiled knowingly after hearing this declaration, and there was a gleam of admiration in his evil crow eyes.
In fact, during this period, Euron had privately invited Leon to go to the Arena of the Gods many times. He firmly believed that when they returned from the Arena of the Gods, they would definitely gain more benefits with Leon's strong luck.
However, in the face of Euron's enthusiastic invitation, Lyon replied again and again: "The time is not yet ripe."
It seems that he has his own unique plans and considerations, and is not in a hurry. Perhaps only when the most appropriate time comes, Lyon will decide whether to step into the mysterious and challenging arena.
The timing depends on...
Just as Lyon and his party arrived at the entrance to the largest dragon cave, Daenerys couldn't help but widen her eyes, and was surprised to find that Balerion, whom she hadn't seen for many days, had fallen into a deep sleep... You know, a huge dragon with peak combat power would never fall into an unguarded sleep so easily.
Generally, a dragon that falls into a deep sleep is either old and dying, or is digesting its own growing strength.
However, Daenerys knew very well that this was the key sign that Balerion was about to break through his own limits!
At this moment, Balerion's body was enveloped in a dazzling white light emitting strong radiation, and his aura was rising steadily, as if there was no end.
When she thought that Balerion, who was much younger than her three dragons, was the one who had achieved the fastest growth, Daenerys felt an indescribable bitterness in her heart. She really couldn't figure out why she couldn't compare to Lyon.
But soon, Daenerys came to her senses. After all, as long as Jon could not become a true dragon rider, then even if Balerion was powerful, he would eventually become hers.
Then, Daenerys turned to look at Jon who came with her, and said with a forced smile:
"Lord Jon, please wait a moment. Next, I will teach you the secret of taming dragons. Whether you can become an outstanding dragon rider depends entirely on your own efforts and talent."
Jon was stunned when he heard this, and then he raised his head involuntarily and stared at the three majestic dragons in the sky. His throat rolled unconsciously, and he swallowed hard, then whispered:
"Okay, I'll do my best."
However, when Daenerys heard Jon's response, she shook her head slightly, as if she was lost in thought. After a while, she said in a deep tone:
“This is not something that can be achieved simply by trying your best.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Leon bent his fingers slightly and made a simple gesture.
In an instant, the three dragons swooped down from the sky at an astonishing speed like three shining meteors, and rushed straight to the ground. Accompanied by a huge roar and a strong airflow, many descendants of the Blackfyre family who followed Leon and Daenerys to the valley were frightened by this sudden scene. They didn't even have time to react, and they just lay on the ground, trembling.
However, there was one person who stood out among the group, and that person was Jon. He was extremely determined and brave, and faced with the mighty momentum displayed by the dragon when it swooped down, he did not feel afraid or retreat at all.
Instead, he stood firmly in place, staring firmly at the approaching dragon, his heart full of anticipation and determination.
However, dragons are creatures that attach great importance to the concept of territory. Apart from the humans who are responsible for taking care of their daily lives, they do not have any good feelings towards these uninvited guests who rashly break into the dragon's lair.
When Viserys, the fastest dragon, reached the ground first, it raised its thick claws without hesitation and crushed a large number of Daenerys's soldiers to death on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, Brother Rhaegal also landed on the ground. He opened his bloody mouth and spewed out blazing dragon flames at the few Blackfyre remnants who were originally full of confidence beside Daenerys.
After Drogon landed, his huge dragon wings slowly folded up and he stood close to Jon, with his huge head only one meter away from Jon...
