Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.
Chapter 127 Night Fire
Chapter 127 Night Fire
When Daenerys came back, she saw her brother Viserys sitting motionless in front of the map table. He was standing on the main seat of Dragonstone, overlooking the entire map.
His whole face looked solemn and dignified.
Daenerys realized what he was thinking and walked over to stand beside him. "Who was that just now? His face is a typical 'salt man' look. Is he an honorary knight sent by the Dornish envoys? Are they coming soon?"
"That's Oberyn Martell of Dorne." Viserys handed her the parchment in his hand. "Ser Darry did something without telling us, but he has become a hindrance today. I am negotiating with him to break off the engagement, and he will most likely agree."
Daenerys picked up the letter and after reading it, she couldn't help but say, "He is here. It turns out that you and Dorne have a secret engagement."
"Alas." Viserys sighed in distress, "I hope he didn't make another pact with someone else without telling us and marry you off when you were just a little girl. As the executor of the pact, he didn't know the oath. Instead, he had to do it." Viserys sighed again and again, and finally told her, "To appease Dorne, I promised that our heir would marry a Dornish princess and make their son king."
Daenerys understood the meaning of his words. Viserys rejected the Dorne treaty for her, and she couldn't help feeling a little sweet in her heart. But then she changed her mind and said worriedly, "Didn't you say you were not in a hurry to have children? Will they have other ideas because of this?"
Viserys thought for a moment and said, "The Three-Eyed Raven showed his affection to you before. We must find a way to confirm his attitude. If you are pregnant, we must find a way to get him to help us protect the child."
Daenerys didn't understand: "Why would he help us?"
"There is a crisis in the North. I guess he needs someone to unify Westeros as soon as possible. I can promise him that, on the condition that nothing happens to you and the child." Viserys said, "And the priest of the Red God. I plan to take the risk and talk to her again. Stannis of Storm's End is a believer of the Red God. I heard that he also has a red priest by his side. Although the guarantees of these so-called gods and mysterious beings may not be effective, it is better to have guarantees than nothing. Dany, remember what Aegon did before he landed?"
Daenerys recounted: "He summoned his friends, vassals and all his allies, listened to their advice, and then went to the sept to pray to the Seven Gods. Six days later, he sent ravens to the Citadel, the kings of the Seven Kingdoms, and all the lords of the continent, declaring that there would only be one true king in Westeros from now on."
"Well, after we confirm with the priest representing the Red God and the Three-Eyed Raven, I will also go to the sept to pray, bathe, change clothes, and pray for seven days." After Viserys finished speaking, he inexplicably had a strange feeling. I wonder what future generations would think if they knew that he made declarations to the representatives of the old god, the red god, and the new god before launching the war of unification.
He then added, "I don't think Stannis will listen to my advice and be a good lord. If he does what I say now, once the armies of his vassal states are disbanded, they may never be summoned again.
So after our wedding is over, and we reach an agreement with Dorne, and the scouts bring back detailed information about the Stormlands, I plan to send a letter to rebuke Stannis, nominate Shireen Baratheon as the ruler of the Stormlands, recapture the Stormlands for her, and then let Shireen's ministers assist her in governing the land according to the policies of Dragonstone.
Many places in the Stormlands are now in ruins, and we can give some of them to the Dornishmen as war bonuses - many castles and fiefdoms are only left with the elderly, the weak, women and children. If they are smart, they should know what to do. And they need to win over the people there, and there are few opposing forces, so it is easy to control. If the Lannister and Tyrell troops in King's Landing dare to come out to confront them, we can deal with them together."
After the Battle of the Blackwater, the Lannisters and Tyrells divided up many castles and fiefdoms in the Stormlands. Viserys went to reclaim the Stormlands for Shireen. These divided castles and fiefdoms were either returned to their original owners if they had owners, or redistributed if they had no owners. To some extent, many castles and fiefdoms were left with orphans and widows, and many territories were divided up, which was equivalent to eating up the entire family, but this was the rule of war.
As the king who distributes the meat, Viserys can only ensure that he is as fair and just as possible when distributing the meat.
Westeros is too big and its population is too small. Viserys estimates that he cannot unify the entire territory before winter comes, but he will connect the Stormlands and Dorne before winter comes.
"."Daenerys stood next to her brother, trying to see the plan in his eyes.
Viserys jumped from his seat and pointed out to her, "After the Stormlands, Highgarden will be next."
Daenerys was puzzled: "What about King's Landing?"
"That city means nothing to us now." Viserys whispered in her ear, as if he would hear her louder. "Oldtown. Dany, Highgarden is rich and prosperous, and no one would mind going there. But that is just a cover. Oldtown is our goal. Oldtown is a place we must take before winter, or at the beginning of winter. There is magical knowledge there. I don't care what the people in the Citadel think. The magical knowledge there must be contributed to us."
Viserys's magic power has been stagnant for a long time, and he urgently needs the knowledge of this world's magic to find his goal. Going to the north may bring ice magic, but the Great Wall is the front line of the war between the gods of the ice and fire world, and Viserys is not sure if he can get away from it. This is actually the reason why Viserys attacked Stannis first, he wanted to send Stannis to the front line of the Great Wall.
And sneaking into the academy in a white dragon fish suit is something Viserys would never do. The Three-Eyed Raven, the Red God Priest, Patchface, Euron the Crow's Eye, the Faceless Assassin, these things that are more or less related to the gods have appeared enough. And Viserys believes that after leaving Dragonstone Castle, wherever he and Daenerys go, these mysterious things will follow.
In this world, both the Red God and the Cold God need armies, so Viserys will take the army with him.
Dragonstone believed that in the near future, it would be able to be displayed to the world as a special zone for learning the financial and taxation affairs officer system, and some of the redundant trained affairs officers could be stationed in Stormlands as foreign affairs personnel to assist Shireen in trying to implement and rectify policies within the country.
If Highgarden surrenders, the richest land in Westeros will basically be under the rule of Viserys. Before the predicted long night comes, he can use the king's will to let the south implement the policy of building high walls and storing grain.
If nothing happens at the moment all the prophecies point to, then the policy of stockpiling food will be regarded as a king's fantasy, but if the long night really comes, then it will undoubtedly be the king's foresight.
Dorne's east and west exits, one leading to the Stormlands and the other to Highgarden, are an important part of Viserys's plan. Ever since the increase in magic power on Dragonstone stagnated, Viserys has been thinking about what to do next. He has long set his sights on the mysterious organization of the world, the Citadel. If his questions cannot be answered in the Citadel, then Viserys will continue to consider going to Asshai.
Legend has it that the Citadel attempts to build a world without witchcraft, prophecy, or magic. Trying to do this in the magical world is like promoting the flat earth theory in modern society.
Daenerys stood beside her brother Viserys, and couldn't help but move closer to him. She looked at the map table and couldn't help but feel her heart surging.
Suddenly, Daenerys thought: "That little thing has grown so fast since it came to Dragonstone, but I still don't know how to tame it."
Viserys said, "It is very close to you and me. Perhaps you only need to trust it a little more and you can tame it. Haven't you noticed that it listens to you and me? You asked it to go to the Dragon Mountain to exercise after eating, and it understood and never resisted. When it grows up, maybe it won't resist if you ride it. The key is that you are still wary of it because of the dream. Dany, have you ever thought about it if it grows big enough for you to ride it? Do you think you will try to do so, or will you worry that it will throw you off its back?"
"I don't know." Daenerys looked back. The little guy had now become a soldier who could stand guard and obey orders under the training of Viserys like training soldiers. Sometimes he could stand there motionless for a long time, and his wildness seemed to have been worn away.
But Daenerys knew that Viserys would sometimes transform into a dragon from a secret passage and take the little creature to hunt in the rugged mountains behind the dragon mountain while it flew over the castle and stayed in the volcanic basin. There were few people there, and it was like a wilderness, where a group of agile wild sheep lived. At first, the little creature would only flap its wings to scare away its prey and chase them everywhere, but now it is said that it has learned to quietly wait for its prey to pass by before launching a surprise attack.
"Perhaps we could start by giving it a name?" Viserys asked. He felt that Daenerys had become more and more regal lately, and perhaps she was ready.
Daenerys began to face the question formally: "What do you want to call it?"
Viserys thought for a moment. "Blackie, or Toothless?"
"What are these names?"
"Then think about it."
"It has something to do with the Red God, Ralilroyd?" Daenerys took the first sound of R'hllor and the last sound of dragon.
"If you call it this way, won't it always remind you of the Red God?"
"You don't like winter, it's called the Winter Killer?"
"Now that you mention it, I have an idea. Let's call it Nightfire. The red monks have the habit of lighting nightfires and praying to R'hllor to grant them dawn. Calling it Nightfire, I hope it can bring dawn as the Red God priests said. No matter what the Red God did, at least the meaning of praying for dawn in the doctrine is good. Its scales are all black, and the front is dark red. Just like a flame in the night."
"Nightfire." Daenerys thought about the name and felt it was just right. "Well, let's call it Nightfire."
"Come here, little one." Viserys called the little dragon over, touched its head, and solemnly explained to it, "From this day forward, you will be called Nightfire. I named you in the hope that you will bring the dawn to the world. Nightfire."
Xiaolong shrugged his head and blinked.
"Nightfire," Daenerys called it.
Xiaolong seemed to understand that this was calling it.
"Nightfire," Daenerys called again, and she saw the little dragon looking at her, waiting for her order. Daenerys stood at the balcony gap, her finger pointing to the sky along the cliffs of Dragon Mountain, "Fly up, Nightfire, and bring dawn to the world!"
After hearing the order, Yehuo spread his huge bat wings, leaped into the sky above the castle, and flew along the cliffs of Longshan Mountain behind the castle, straight into the clear blue sky.
The slogan is one thing, and what is actually done is another. Viserys only has fire magic so far, and he is not sure whether the gods and mysterious beings of this world will be surprised if he reveals that this otherworldly dragon is a three-element mage.
Even if people still think he is the prince in the prophecy, his songs are not just about ice and fire, but about fire, thunder and ice. He may be increasing the cost of the silence invested by the gods.
