"It seems this Dragon truly has a connection with Miss Youtannia. If you hadn't happened to come, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived."
Miss Youtannia and the others all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the Dragon finally willing to drink milk.
"The way he depends on you and is so affectionate, it makes us all a little jealous."
Vada also echoed with a sense of pride,
"Miss Youtannia is the only Targaryen in history who can command dragon. Moreover, The Neck's Lizard Lion and the Unicorn of Skagos Island have all been tamed by Miss Youtannia, so a little monkey is naturally no problem."
"That's natural!"
…The group exchanged more compliments, then left with the Little Valyrian. Daenerys hadn't expected that she would simply visit and end up taking a Little Valyrian with her.
The price of this Little Valyrian was not cheap; due to its scarcity, the market price was generally around three to five thousand gold Dragons, and even then, it was hard to find.
Daenerys stroked the Dragon while channeling magic into him, which quickly made him cling to her arm and fall asleep.
"Miss Youtannia, please give him a name!"
Besani followed closely behind Daenerys, her eyes barely leaving the Dragon.
Hearing Besani say this, everyone else also chimed in,
"Yes, Miss Youtannia, please give him a name!"
Daenerys thought that since they were called Little Valyrian, she would give him a valyrian-style name.
"Then let's call him Luca Ao?!"
"Luca Ao—Child of the Sun. This Dragon is perfectly golden-white, so it's a perfect fit!"
Most Braavos people could speak valyrian, so Miss Youtannia immediately praised the name. Everyone else also thought it was a good name, so it was decided.
Since they had been sightseeing for a whole afternoon and it was already getting dark, everyone prepared to return. Although they had only explored half of the Sea Kings Menagerie that afternoon, it had certainly broadened Daenerys's horizons.
"Ga-ong~ Gurgle~"
Just as they had left Monkey Mountain not far, a strange screech suddenly came from the sky.
"Dragon roar?!"
The sound was very similar to a Dragon roar, but Daenerys had never heard it before, so she immediately looked up at the sky. A giant yellowish-green beast, over ten meters long, was circling ominously high above.
"Oh my god! It's that Mottled Long-Winged Dragon!"
Youtanlian's legs went soft with fear, almost collapsing to the ground, as he cried out in extreme panic.
"Everyone, quickly split up and hide where he can't see you!"
Daenerys warned the others while pulling Besani and quickly running towards the nearby bushes. Vada swiftly led twenty female warriors to spread out around Daenerys.
Meanwhile, the Sea Kings Palace guards pulled up the already somewhat paralyzed Youtanlian and the helpless Miss Youtannia, retreating towards Monkey Mountain.
"Gurgle Ga~"
Seeing that they had been discovered, the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon quickly swooped down from the sky.
Because Daenerys and her female guards had quickly dispersed into the bushes, making them less obvious targets, the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon directly swooped towards Miss Youtannia and her brother, along with their guards.
"Ga~"
Although the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon's over ten-meter body couldn't compare to a giant Dragon, it was still an insurmountable presence for the Sea Kings Palace guards.
So, even though one unlucky guard had mustered all his courage and desperately swung his longsword to hack at the claws reaching for him, he was still snatched up by the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon in an instant.
"Ah~"
When the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon caught the guard, he also used his powerful Dragon Wing to knock down several people. The captured guard only managed to let out a scream before being bitten in half by the ferocious Mottled Long-Winged Dragon.
This Mottled Long-Winged Dragon was yellowish-green all over, covered in yellowish-brown butterfly markings, especially the golden, black-edged spots on his Dragon Wing, which shimmered with a flowing golden luster in the sunlight.
His appearance was almost indistinguishable from a giant Dragon, except for his much smaller size and inability to breathe fire. Due to his low intelligence, his temper was even more volatile than a giant Dragon's.
After biting the guard in half, the bloodthirsty long-winged dragon directly swallowed the upper half into his belly, while two blood-stained thighs fell directly from the sky, landing near Miss Youtannia and them, splattering a pool of blood.
The bloody scene made Miss Youtannia and her brother shriek in terror. Although their guards were also filled with dread, they still held their sharp swords firmly, protecting the siblings in a tight circle. This showed that the Sea Kings Palace guards were also well-trained.
However, having tasted the delicious flavor of human flesh, the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon seemed to have opened a new door. He immediately executed a graceful turn in the air and once again swooped down towards Miss Youtannia and them.
This time, the long-winged dragon even snatched up two guards directly during his dive. Although the two guards were almost scared out of their wits, their strong will to survive caused their adrenaline to surge. Even though their bones were almost crushed by the beast, they still desperately swung their swords at the long-winged dragon's Dragon Claw and belly.
Even though their swords sparked as they struck, they only left a few gray-white sword marks of varying depths on the long-winged dragon's hard Dragon Claw and Dragon Scales.
After ascending to a suitable height, the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon unceremoniously bit off their heads, chewed a few times with a crunching sound, and swallowed them. Clearly, this Mottled Long-Winged Dragon's teeth were much more formidable than those of a giant Dragon of comparable size.
Taking advantage of the long-winged dragon feeding in the air, Miss Youtannia and her group finally retreated into Monkey Mountain. Because there were rocks and sunshades to block the view, they finally escaped the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon's sight.
After devouring the two guards, the long-winged dragon quickly circled back and forth in the air, searching for new targets. Having lost the large target of Miss Youtannia and her group, this fellow immediately turned his attention to Daenerys and her companions, who were scattered in the bushes.
So he rapidly swooped down towards the bushes. This made Vada and the others grip their steel swords tightly, preparing for a desperate fight.
"Go~"
During the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon's rampage, Daenerys had already finished charging her power. The moment the creature approached the bushes, she threw the condensed fire seed in her hand, hitting him squarely on the head.
"Gurgle Ga~"
Orange-red flames instantly burst on his head, almost burning out one of his eyes. The intense pain made the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon immediately dart upwards into the sky in alarm.
After more than a month of practice, Daenerys's fire magic hadn't grown much, but her proficiency and accuracy had improved significantly.
However, in just a few seconds, the flames extinguished. Aside from blackening the Mottled Long-Winged Dragon's head a bit and making one eye's vision somewhat blurry, it didn't actually cause him any substantial damage. Instead, it made him even more furious and irritable.
Daenerys naturally knew this already, so after temporarily repelling him, she quickly condensed more fire seeds and ignited several large trees nearby, hoping to use the flames to instill fear in him.
