2 Chapter 2 The Skull of Balerion
After leaving the room, Baelon dismissed the attendants trailing him and descended the stairs alone.
He seemed a bit anxious.
Anyone would be anxious about besting the queen's son, right?
Of course, he wasn't afraid.
Just as he was extinguishing the candles, he heard a voice.
"The Explorer system has loaded successfully, search for lost treasures."
Lei Jia (System) thought it was the aftermath of a nightmare.
However, when I opened my eyes.
Not only did it mark the beginning of Aegon's cream attack.
There's also a strange panel.
[Baelon Targaryen]
Talent: Dreamer (gold) Lineage: Ancient Valyrian Dragon King (5%)
Skills: Literature (elementary), history (elementary)
Relics:
Evaluation pending: "Weak human child The puppy will definitely die before the age of ten. It's a pity he has such a precious talent."
A simple and clean panel described Baelon's personal situation.
Baelon was surprised, Baelon was confused, Baelon accepted...
In the short time it took Allison to clean the cream, his mind cleared and he was delighted with the emergence of the system.
In the three years of nightmares, he dreamed a lot.
Including fragments from another unknown continent.
Snakes with green skin, giant steel dragons, concrete skyscrapers...
I have some impressions of the word system.
It seems to be a tool to help useless people counterattack, which is very suitable for him, a pitiful, weak, and defenseless human puppy.
While he was happy, he couldn't help but give a reward to his dear brother Aegon.
I hope he likes it.
...
"Explorers, relics..."
"With the reminder of the system, we should be looking for some ancient and valuable items,"
Rega analyzed rationally, his surprisingly serious young face.
Before leaving the room, he had thought of something ancient and valuable.
Passing through the crowded hall of the Red Keep.
Baelon reached an empty room with a statue of the Virgin.
In the center of the hall is a circular platform built with stones.
There is a very large dragon skull placed upon it.
This is the skull of Aegon the Conqueror's dragon, Balerion, known as the Black Dread.
Balerion is a legendary dragon.
The Targaryen family left ancient Valyria and escorted them to the end with the fleet.
And when Aegon the Conqueror came of age, it helped him conquer the seven kingdoms of Westeros.
After the death of Aegon the Conqueror, his descendants tamed it and it continued to contribute.
It wasn't until Balerion was over 200 years old that it was tamed by Baelons father, Viserys.
The dragon that crossed the continent of Westeros took the teenage Viserys flying over King's Landing three times.
The last time it appeared in front of the public.
Balerion died shortly thereafter.
He was over 200 years old at the time, which was the upper limit of a dragon's life, and naturally, he would die of old age.
To commemorate this outstanding dragon, the Targaryen family placed its skull in the Great Hall of the Red Keep, where it was worshipped by future generations.
Baelon looked at the enormous dragon skull in front of him and couldn't think of anything older and more valuable than it.
"Balerion, thank you for your contribution to the Targaryen family. Please help me once."
Baelon looked expectant and silently prayed in front of the altar.
Baelon climbed onto a round stool and onto the altar, which was over a meter high.
He touched the fierce dragon teeth intertwined in its skull, each of which was taller and thicker than him.
Baelon walked carefully toward the skull from behind, caressing the pale bones with a pair of small hands.
"This exploration mission has begun and the target is Balerion's skull, the Black Dread."
The system's notice suddenly sounded, startling Baelon, and he looked around guiltily.
Children who crawl and leap will be punished.
He's also a child and fears his secret being discovered.
Fortunately, few people came to the main hall.
Rega breathed a sigh of relief, and a quick panel appeared in front of his eyes.
[Balerion's Skull]
Exploration progress: 0.2% "What do you mean?"
Baelon retracted his hand and the panel changed.
[Balerion's Skull]
Exploration progress: 0.2% (paused)
"Do you need physical contact to explore relics?"
Baelon suddenly realized and touched the skull again.
Indeed, the exploration progress continued to increase.
"I see, all that's left is to wait patiently."
Baelon sat down and leaned against his skull, trying to touch it with his face and feet occasionally.
He was so weak that he was out of breath after walking a few steps.
I could persist until I explored Balerion's skull today, thanks to the adrenaline of my excitement.
...
At dusk, the sun gradually sets.
A voice sounded that woke Baelon from his deep sleep.
"This exploration has ended, please collect the lost treasures."
Lei Jia's eyes were sleepy and the system panel appeared.
[Balerion's Skull]
Exploration progress: 100% "It's done. What's the treasure?"
Baelon immediately became energetic.
Looking at the panel, there are only two lines of text.
Rega tilted his head confusedly, recalling the word "collect" in the system's warning tone from a moment ago.
Get up and look around.
A red halo the size of a watermelon floated over the dragon skull's closed teeth.
Rega took a step forward out of curiosity, extended his hand, and touched it slowly.
Bo~
It seemed he had popped a bubble and the red halo exploded, turning into a small cluster of red lights that entered his hand like fireworks.
"The relic has been successfully collected and the test is in progress..."
The test was successful and it was determined to be a legendary relic, the legacy of the dragon.
"Legendary level, looks like I've hit the jackpot."
Baelon murmured softly, and a figure named Dragon appeared in his mind. The dragon scales of Yize.
With a thought, dragon scales appeared in his hand.
This dragon scale is completely black and covered in scars, and it's as large as an adult's hand.
"A piece of dragon scale, how to use it?"
As Lei Jia flipped through the dragon scale, the source in the system panel changed.
"Blood and fire come from the same source. If you want the legacy of the dragon, you must be a true dragon."
Blood and fire come from the same source..."
Lei Jia had an idea.
As we all know, dragon is synonymous with fire.
So, the activation method should be blood.
It should also be the blood of a true dragon.
Baelon smiled.
He's not a dragon, but he's a true Targaryen.
Holding the dragon scale with one hand, the other hand is near the sharp edge of the dragon scale.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Fight."
With a sharp sound, the dragon scales cut his thumb and a trickle of blood flowed.
The dragon scales were stained with blood and glowed red.
"Congratulations, the Dragon's Legacy
