Chapter 394
"Has this Khal lost his mind?"
"This Khal position is too high-risk, is he really going to be replaced again?"
"Barbarians are just barbarians, trying to burn themselves to death?"
Liu Bei ignored the strange looks from these people and clapped his hands.
Viserys, bound hand and foot, was pushed forward.
Liu Bei said in a loud voice,
"Everyone, today I, along with the true dragon heir of the Targaryens, my Khaleesi, and her brother Viserys, will accept the test of the raging fire and achieve eternal life within it!"
Viserys's face changed drastically.
"Khal, you're insane!"
But the Dragon Mother said,
"Brother, as heirs of the true dragon, we should embrace the flames!"
"They're crazy, they're all crazy!"
Viserys was already crying; what kind of situation was this!
"My brother-in-law is a lunatic, and my sister is crazy too!"
The livestream room exploded as well.
"Brother Bei, what's bothering you?"
"Yeah, you just got married, don't do this."
"Brother Bei isn't thinking about his harem, is he... trying to use a fire escape to get home?"
"The Big-Eared Thief is scared, afraid everyone will target him together," said a netizen from the US.
Song Yi and Reba were also a bit worried, but since the captain had said so, he naturally had a plan; after all, the captain's IQ crushed theirs.
Soon,
Liu Bei and the Dragon Mother entered the wooden house with the three dragon eggs.
Liu Bei shouted loudly,
"Light the fire!"
Soldiers holding torches lit it directly!
The wooden house was quickly ignited, and the temperature inside rose higher and higher.
Viserys grew hotter and hotter, cursing wildly,
"Let me out, you lunatic!"
Liu Bei kindly reminded him,
"True dragons are not afraid of fire; perhaps if you endure it, you will awaken the true dragon's rage."
"Lunatic, lunatic!"
Gradually, the flames began to consume Viserys!
Teammate sacrificed to the heavens, 710's magic is boundless, the dragon eggs seem to be stirring!
Liu Bei and the Dragon Mother, however, acted as if nothing were wrong, letting the flames assault them; not even their hair was singed!
The Dragon Mother gripped Liu Bei's hand tightly, thinking to herself,
"The Khal and I are a match made in heaven, unafraid of flames!"
The great fire burned for several hours!
The Viceroy and the wealthy merchants went from mockery to shock, and now they were deeply stunned!
For no other reason than,
The Khal and the Mad King's daughter were truly not afraid of burning; they were clearly still alive!
When the house was almost burned away, Liu Bei dug out the cloaks he had prepared from the dirt, and the two walked out of the raging fire wearing them!
Everyone was shocked!
The Dothraki warriors prostrated themselves on the ground,
"God!"
"God!"
The Viceroy and the wealthy merchants were also too shocked to speak; the Khal and his Khaleesi had actually achieved eternal life in the raging fire.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it even if they were beaten to death!
"There isn't even a single injury, not even their hair is damaged!"
"It seems they both have the blood of the true dragon!"
However,
What shocked them even more was yet to come.
A small, pitch-black dragon crawled out from Liu Bei's back and "roared" at the crowd!
Although the cry was somewhat immature, this was a dragon! It instantly scared the horses in the distance!
The Viceroy?!
The wealthy merchants??
"This is a dragon?!"
"It really is a dragon!"
Soon,
Two more small dragons crawled out from the Dragon Mother's back, standing on her shoulders and shrieking at the crowd!
"It really is a dragon, and there are three of them!"
"The Targaryen family has really hatched true dragons!"
The Viceroy was dying of jealousy; if he had known these three dragon eggs could hatch dragons,
He would have laid on them to hatch them every single day!
The Viceroy said greedily,
"Respected Khal, were these three dragon eggs the ones I gave you?"
Liu Bei laughed,
"Yes, many thanks to the Viceroy."
The Viceroy was almost sent to his grave by Liu Bei's gratitude!
He coughed and said,
"Could you give me one? Just this little pitch-black fellow will do."
Liu Bei was speechless; this Viceroy was truly greedy, wanting to take away the most powerful Drogon the moment he saw it.
His face changed instantly,
"These three dragons are the children of Daenerys and me; whoever tries to snatch them away is our enemy!"
Killing intent instantly enveloped the Viceroy and the others, making them afraid to say another word!
Liu Bei smiled again,
"The Khaleesi and I possess three dragons, which heralds the prosperity of the tribe; no one is allowed to return home today until they are drunk!"
The wealthy merchants' eyes lit up; the most powerful Khal plus three dragons—what a terrifying existence the future would hold; they had to suck up to him!
"Many thanks, Khal!"
Everyone went to drink!
The livestream room was directly filled with bullet comments,
"Holy crap! What the hell, there really are dragons!"
"Liu Bei's luck is heaven-defying; he actually produced three dragons!"
"What exactly happened between him and Daenerys... it's terrifying to think about!"
"Why are we even fighting? Everyone else is still using swords and blades, and Liu Bei has three dragons; this is like using nuclear weapons against primitive people!"
"Let's just give up, it's over before it even began," wailed netizens from various countries.
"Don't be in such a hurry; it takes a long time for dragons to grow up. Liu Bei and the Khaleesi just have three little pets for now!"
"Exactly, exactly."
The netizens from various countries seemed to have come back to life, as the previous blow had been too great, and they had almost passed out!
"The news that he has three dragons will spread quickly. There's no telling how many forces will covet them; Liu Bei will have his hands full!"
After Liu Bei had finished three rounds of drinks with everyone, he directly asked to borrow grain.
Everyone was worried they wouldn't have a chance to suck up to him, so naturally, they sent money and grain!
Liu Bei recorded these one by one, stating that he would definitely return them.
Liu Bei drank everyone under the table before swaying back to his tent.
The Dragon Mother, Song Yi, and Reba were each playing with a dragon, having a wonderful time!
"Hee hee, Captain, the little dragons are so cute!"
Reba's eyes narrowed into crescents, clearly captivated by the dragons' cuteness.
Seeing Liu Bei return, the three dragons hopped and jumped onto his hands.
Having seen Liu Bei and the Dragon Mother the moment they were born, they were naturally closest to them.
Liu Bei teased them a little,
"Alright, let me discuss future matters with you all."
The three girls sat up straight instantly, looking like they were listening intently.
Liu Bei was amused by their expressions,
"Relax, we're just discussing."
Liu Bei coughed,
"The news that we possess three dragons will spread quickly. While it helps us increase our prestige and expand our influence, it also attracts many people with ulterior motives."
"Even if Robert in the West Continent finds out about this, I'm afraid he'll send people to assassinate Daenerys and me."
Song Yi nodded,
"The Captain is absolutely right; I will definitely strengthen the guards."
Daenerys grabbed Liu Bei's hand,
"Khal, have I brought danger to you?"
Liu Bei pinched the Dragon Mother's chin,
"The joy you bring me is far greater."
Reba blushed; the captain was flirting in public, had he thought about her, who had been single for nineteen years...
Liu Bei continued,
"Our long-term goal is to help Daenerys take back the Iron Throne, and our short-term goal is to strengthen ourselves and gain a base of operations."
The Dragon Mother??
She said excitedly,
"Khal? You want to help me restore my kingdom?!"
She had thought she would be Liu Bei's Khaleesi for the rest of her life; she hadn't expected Liu Bei to want to help her restore her kingdom!
Liu Bei looked at the Dragon Mother affectionately,
"My Khaleesi, your mission is my mission; I will do everything in my power to help you restore your kingdom."
The Dragon Mother was moved to tears,
"Wuwuwu, Liu, you are too good to me; I must repay you with my life."
Liu Bei put his arms around her slender waist, and the two kissed a few times as if no one else were there.
Reba and Song Yi exchanged a glance, blushed, and retreated, leaving space for the Dragon Mother to repay her debt.
The livestream room exploded,
"Brother Bei, can you stop bluffing? Your mission is to win the hegemony, not for this girl..."
"Look how moved the girl is, she really thinks it's for her."
"Daenerys is already moved from the bottom of her heart, she's completely devoted!"
Liu Bei was having a friendly exchange with his Khaleesi.
He grabbed the Dragon Mother's silver hair, his breathing heavy,
"Daenerys, you're really good; you're a quick learner."
The system's voice rang in Liu Bei's mind,
[Ding, contestant Liu Bei, you have become a Khal, walked out of the raging fire, and obtained three dragons. Not only have you made a name for yourself in Pentos, but your prestige will also spread across the East Continent!]
[Reward: Brave Heart: Firm will, unaffected by any psychic magic!]
[Reward: Lifespan +5, Physique +5!]
Liu Bei nodded; this was useful. In the world of Game of Thrones, there were quite a few who could use magic—Melisandre, warlocks, and whatever that Three-Eyed Raven was!
The Dragon Mother looked up and said coquettishly,
"My Khal, is this okay?"
"Keep going, that's right!"
Early the next morning,
Reba and Song Yi came over happily,
"Captain, we received rewards last night!"
Reba said with a smile,
"Captain, I can take on twenty or so people now without a problem!"
Liu Bei laughed,
"Then how do you plan to repay me?"
Reba pecked Liu Bei on the cheek, then ran away with a blushing face!
Liu Bei?
"Just that? Don't go, come back!"
Reba ran even faster with her long legs.
Liu Bei rested in Pentos for several more days, obtained the grain and fodder supported by the wealthy merchants, and drank with them for several days, winning over many hearts.
Amidst the Viceroy's heart-pounding anxiety, he finally set off toward the east.
He was heading to the holy city of Vaes Dothrak, where there were several other Khals; he would incorporate their troops to further strengthen himself.
Afterward,
It would be time to let the Dragon Mother begin her legendary path, go to Slaver's Bay to pull off a "white wolf with empty gloves"—no, to liberate the slaves!
Liu Bei also took advantage of this wave of prestige to reform the Dothraki army,
For example, strictly requiring military discipline and forbidding random looting.
His personal guard cavalry wore specially made leather armor, no longer going shirtless with a defense value of zero.
He also taught the Dothraki army to arrange simple formations and so on.
In Liu Bei's words, people who only know how to charge blindly will always be small-time thugs!
Liu Bei's side was carrying out reforms in full swing.
West Continent, King's Landing,
Small Council meeting,
King Robert looked at the intelligence handed over by the Spider, Varys,
"What? The Mad King's daughter has three dragons?! And she married the strongest Khal? With forty thousand cavalry?!"
"The Unburnt Khal and Khaleesi?!"
Everyone was a bit worried; they hadn't expected that just over a decade after driving out the Mad King's family, such a powerful figure would appear in his family again.
"We cannot let those dragons grow up, and we certainly cannot let Daenerys continue to live! Varys, contact the best assassins in the East Continent for me!"
Varys said in a low voice,
"Your Majesty, we are already living beyond our means, and we owe six million gold dragons..."
Meaning, you can't afford it at all!
Robert was dumbfounded,
"I don't even have the money to hire an assassin?"
