Chapter 226: Chapter 226: Bring or Not
Daenerys did not tell Jhiqui that she knew magic, but instead made up a story, which was based on Drogon's advice.
The world today is no longer the Valyria of more than four hundred years ago, when magic was prevalent and people worshipped and took it for granted.
Nowadays, people fear magic more than they revere it, let alone worship it. If they suddenly discovered that their emperor could use magic, it would likely lead to their disapproval or even resistance.
After hearing Drogon's suggestion, Daenerys remembered her previous fear of mysterious events. She suppressed her desire to show off and could only practice magic silently for the time being.
After returning to the room and finishing the dinner prepared by Jhiqui, Daenerys was still not full, so she asked Jhiqui to bring some more pastries.
Seeing how much Daenerys ate and thinking about her torn clothes, Jhiqui couldn't help but look at Drogon who was also eating pastries next to the plate. She didn't understand where he took Daenerys in the afternoon, making her so miserable and consuming so much energy.
Of course, the cakes and pastries could not satisfy drogon's voracious appetite. After taking two bites of the cakes, he flew to the grassland, where he could only be full.
Three hours later, Drogon returned from the grassland and Daenerys was already taking a nap with a book in her arms.
She was still a little excited when she just came back from the Imperial Guards. After she calmed down, she read a book for a while and then gradually felt sleepy. She just wanted to lie down on the bed and have a good sleep.
But thinking about the nightmare a few days ago, Drogon didn't come back, she didn't dare to sleep, so she could only force herself to stay awake and continue reading.
When Daenerys saw Drogon in a daze, she stood up from the chair, hugged him, and fell asleep on the bed.
Being hugged by Daenerys and smelling the fresh scent of spices on her body, Drogon did not struggle to break free.
There was no need for him to sleep with Daenerys after he deployed the Asgard Shield.
However, if he left for his nest, Daenerys might not sleep well even if she was not disturbed by evil thoughts. In order to give her more psychological comfort, Drogon could only be hugged by her like this.
With the experience of last night, Drogon's control over the divine domain shield was more proficient today, and he was basically able to maintain the size of the divine domain unchanged in a light sleep state.
Over the next few days, Drogon continued to practice magic with Daenerys.
Her progress was rapid. Before she had fully mastered the control of one hand, she had already taught herself to use her left hand and even started practicing continuous shooting with both hands.
Drogon did not stop Daenerys from playing, as long as she didn't burn her clothes again.
Five days later, Daenerys's technique of releasing fire became more and more proficient. Now, as long as she doesn't get close to him, even Daario may not be her opponent.
When she has more fighting experience, even three Darios may not be able to defeat her. This is the difference between the mysterious extraordinary and ordinary people.
To make up for her lack of combat experience, Drogon would often practice sparring with her, feinting attacks to hone her reflexes and spellcasting proficiency.
Daenerys was also very serious during sparring. She would take turns condensing fireballs with her hands and shooting them at Drogon. Although Drogon could easily avoid all her attacks, in order to encourage her, she would sometimes take a few hits when she was attacked continuously to make her happy.
Of course Daenerys knew that Drogon was giving in to her, but she became more and more confident in the release of her magic.
Seeing that Daenerys had such outstanding magical talent, Drogon even had the idea of training her to become the Scarlet Witch from another world.
But before that he had other things to do.
With evil thoughts lurking around and the Frozen Sea and the Land of Shadows devouring the world every moment, how can he be at ease accompanying Daenerys to practice magic every day!
Thinking about the various experiences I have had since coming to this world, I wonder if it was because I was cursed as a corporate slave in my previous life that I have hardly had many days of leisure.
Soon after birth, he was busy training his little dragon brothers and sisters; preventing Daenerys from making mistakes and losing troops, planning the Seven Kingdoms for her and fighting for the Iron Throne; fighting the Night King and defeating Adins.
Now I have to protect Daenerys in my dreams every day, and at the same time worry about the greater crisis in this world. Thinking about these, I feel that my life is really a hard one.
Although the evil thoughts have been blocked by himself, who knows if they will change from harassment to attack. By then, I am afraid that even my own divine realm will not be able to stop it.
How can Drogon rest in peace without finding and resolving the source of the evil thoughts?
There are also the frozen seas and shadow lands that continue to encroach on the known world. As the guardian dragon god of the empire, Drogon cannot allow them to continue to encroach, whether for Daenerys's empire or for her and himself.
What's more, Drogon also vaguely suspected that the evil thoughts that invaded Daenerys were somehow related to the Night King, the Frozen Sea, and the Shadow Lands. He would feel uneasy if he didn't investigate.
However, because of his evil thoughts, he could not leave Daenerys for a long time, and could only try to leave in the morning and return in the evening.
He didn't know how far King's Landing was from Asshai, but he knew how far King's Landing was from Qarth. It would take more than ten hours to go from King's Landing to Qarth and back, not to mention going to Asshai.
If one adds the time wasted in Asia, it would be difficult for him to leave in the morning and return in the evening, but he had to go.
The next night, when they returned to their room, Drogon told Daenerys about his plan to go to Asshai.
Daenerys was surprised to hear this and asked, "Drogon, why are you going to Asshai? It's so far away."
[I'm going to save the world!] Drogon said truthfully.
"You..." Daenerys thought Drogon was unwilling to tell her, and said angrily: "If you go, I will go too!"
[What are you going to do? King's Landing can't live without you now. Besides, I might come back the same day I go to Asshai.] Drogon knew that Daenerys was speaking in anger, but he still said something.
"With Tyrion and the others here, it's okay for me to be away for a while."
Daenerys has been a little restless since she has been staying in the Red Castle every day to handle government affairs. In addition, she has been enjoying playing with magic recently, and her mind has become even wilder.
When she heard that Drogon was going on a long journey, she thought she might have nightmares again after he left, so she might as well go for a walk with Drogon.
Drogon, who had been planning to just say a few words to Daenerys, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard her words.
If I let her follow me, I won't have to worry about evil thoughts invading me, and I won't have to run back and forth.
But when he thought of the frozen sea and the strangeness of the Shadow Land, Drogon gave up the idea of taking Daenerys with him.
Of course, he couldn't take Daenerys to the frozen sea or the shadow land, but he was worried about leaving her in a place like Asshai, so he said to Daenerys: "Those places are too dangerous, it's not safe for you to go there."
"I'm not afraid, I know magic now!" Daenerys puffed out her chest, she was about to try the power of magic.
[You are not afraid, but I am!] Drogon does not think that Daenerys can protect herself in a place like Asshai just by relying on her fighting experience against him.
"No, I want to go with you!" Seeing that Drogon was still unwilling to take her, Daenerys started to act like a rogue.
Without rushing to reject Daenerys, Drogon also wanted to take her away, but he couldn't think of a way to ensure Daenerys' safety.
Asshai was so far away from King's Landing, he couldn't let Barristan or Daario protect Daenerys.
Just as he thought of this, an idea suddenly occurred to Drogon. They couldn't do it,
but Rhaegal or Viserion could! Although they were too big to protect her closely, it wouldn't be a big problem as long as they could protect her outside the room. After all, Daenerys now had some ability to protect herself.
In this way, as long as he brings one of the two children with him, Daenerys' safety can be guaranteed when he enters dangerous areas to explore.
