Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon.

Chapter 99 Blood Magic
Queen Alicent was ultimately unable to gain the forgiveness of her stepdaughter. She still stubbornly insisted on maintaining Great Aegon's inheritance rights and stubbornly believed that Great Aegon was not dead. She was eventually imprisoned in Maegor's Tower by the annoyed Queen.

However, Longzier and Valar did not participate in the coronation ceremony held by Queen Rhaenyra for themselves. They left the Red Keep with Daemon, Jacaerys, Baenilla and Rhaena when Rhaenyra took Alicent away. Baenilla kissed Jacaerys goodbye and immediately prepared to fly to the Vale to protect the Eyrie as promised by the queen. Although her Moon Dancer was only the size of a horse, it could already carry people to the sky. Prince Joffrey's purple dragon Tyrex would protect King's Landing together with his mother's Syrax.

Valar and Jacaerys flew back to Dragon's Nest with little Viserys. Jacaerys was appointed as the regent prince by his mother, responsible for assisting the southern commander, Dragonzel, to suppress the Hightower rebels.

Longzier flew to Harrenhal with Daemon. As the core of the entire Three Rivers Basin, the five "finger" towers of Harrenhal can radiate to the entire central area of ​​Westeros. From here, the two dragons can hunt down the fleeing Vhagar at any time.

The godswood of Harrenhal, Dragonzel brought Daemon here almost as soon as he landed. The people of the riverlands are generally still believers of the Seven Gods, and the old gods only have a slight presence in Raventree. But the godswood is indeed a kind of architectural form that is generally favored by southern nobles. Many southern lords will prepare a small forest in the castle. There may not be fish beams, but there will definitely be a few exceptionally tall trees.

Harren the Black, the builder of Harrenhal, was an iron man, but he was not keen on faith. He just wanted to build this great castle that could be called a miracle, so he transplanted several ancient weirwoods from the Thousand Faces Isle to his own courtyard. Unfortunately, with the dragon flame of the Black Death, these weirwoods were burned to death, and only the largest one survived tenaciously.

A huge old man's face, seemingly formed naturally, appeared on the gnarled tree trunk, with huge roots digging deep into the soil like an old man's beard. Bright red marks flowed from the old man's eyes like tears.

Longzel walked quickly to the weirwood, turned around and said to Damon: "Cousin Damon, are the things ready?" Damon nodded: "These are what you want..." Damon suddenly had a bad premonition.

"Mother's blood, mother's blood, father's blood, and the king's blood." Longzel tapped the fish beam wood lightly: "And a proper amount of magical creations. Cousin Damon, you know that I am a blood wizard."

"It's our nature to be vigilant, Longzel." Damon smiled and shook his head, "Just like you doubted our sincerity before." But he still took out two small bottles. "Alison's blood, collected by Miss Ilinda Marseille. The Queen Mother wanted to commit suicide, but was saved by Miss Marseille. This is the blood she collected."

Longzel pulled out the silver blood, cut off a piece of bark from the weirwood, and signaled Damon to pour Allison's blood on the bark: "The mother's blood is connected to her son."

As Longzel spoke, Queen Mother Alison's blood melted into the bark of the weirwood tree as soon as it touched it. The pale bark was instantly stained with a bloody color that was difficult to erase.

The second small bottle contains the blood of Galwyn Hightower. Daemon got it from Roth. Unfortunately, Galwyn was killed by Roth's sword. It took a long time after his death to get his blood. Now his blood has basically coagulated.

"Mother's blood is enough, the blood of the mother clan is just a supplement." Longzel shook his head. Damon sighed, stretched out his hand and wiped the silver blood, and his blood also dripped onto the bark.

"The blood of the fathers guides the direction of the descendants." Longzel said the spell in High Valyrian. The bark of the fish beam wood was dyed blood red, and the bark seemed to be slowly melting.

"And the King's Blood." Longzel looked at Daemon. "The King's Blood is the best witchcraft material." Daemon hesitated, but finally took out the witchcraft material that Rhaenyra gave him.

"Don't worry that I will curse the royal family. Don't worry." Longzel smiled and said, "I also have Targaryen blood in my body. Cursing you is equivalent to cursing myself. Cousin Daemon, aren't you curious about what the King's Blood is?"

"Why am I curious about that thing?" Damon laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm not a blood wizard, nor a magician. This thing is no different from a dragon to me."

"You're not afraid of others knowing." Longzel blew a breath on the bark, and the bark suddenly burned with transparent flames, and the entire ancient fish beam wood suddenly made a rustling sound. Longzel looked back and saw a black-haired woman in the corridor of the castle looking at them expressionlessly. The moment she saw Longzel's gaze, the woman suddenly covered her head and disappeared in the shadow of the castle in the blink of an eye. "It's not like I won't go to the Thousand Faces Island." Longzel muttered, "But I didn't expect that the old gods actually had some arrangements here. I didn't expect it."

"What didn't you expect?" Damon was about to listen to Longzel's introduction, but was suddenly interrupted and was a little confused.

"Nothing, let's get back to the topic of the King's Blood, Cousin Daemon." Longzel laughed. "The King's Blood doesn't actually represent the blood of the person who sits on the throne. In the family's magic books, this kind of witchcraft material is actually called 'ancient blood' or 'divine blood'. Of course, the latter is more of a self-proclaimed name for these magicians. Its real scientific name is 'magic blood'. In order of effectiveness, the blood wizards of ancient Valyria believe that the blood of the royal descendants of the Kingdom of Dawn is the most precious, followed by indescribable mysterious creatures, such as dragons, demons, and night lions, the dead king riding an ice spider in Westeros mythology, the children of the forest, and then the blood of the Valyrian Dragon King. In terms of effect, it is similar to the blood of those mythical creatures, and then the blood of the kings who ruled various places in ancient times, such as the pure-blooded descendants of the Greenhand King, the pure-blooded descendants of the Stark family, the kings of the masters, and the monarchs of those distant countries that have perished or still exist."

"Because they are special, they become the rulers?"

Longzel nodded: "This is the origin of the concept of the King's Blood." The colorless flame in his hand gradually died out. The original weirwood bark turned into two pale stone-like objects with bloodshot.

"Take this." Longzel threw one of the stones to Daemon. "When Aemond is nearby, it will heat up. If you find Aemond, crush it. I will sense it."

"What about you?" Damon noticed that Longzel had no intention of leaving with him.

"I'm going to take a look at the Isle of Faces." Longzier looked at the huge, dark tower of Harrenhal. "There's someone who wants to see me. Don't worry, I'll be leaving soon." Longzier was already a little excited. "It's exciting to face Vhagar."

"Okay, I'll set off immediately." Daemon knew that it might be difficult for his dragon to confront Vhagar head-on, but there would be no problem in marking and tracking the old dragon.

He would not let Vhagar go again.

In the distance, there is a river valley.

A village had just been reduced to ashes. Vhagar was devouring charred pigs and sheep, while Aemond was gnawing on a charred chicken with a tired look on his face.

“I have to think about where to go next.”

Emond's mind was working rapidly.
