Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 185 The Storm God is a Collectible

"If a so-called God can't even save himself, then why is he called a God?"

Crow's Eye Euron Greyjoy couldn't help but sneer as he watched the silent alien crew pull the greasy black stone slab that the Drowned God was said to have used to suppress the corpse of the naga onto the deck and placed it at the bow.

Several acolytes of the Cult of the Assemblies whose tongues had been pulled out were quickly pulled onto the deck, and Euron killed them with the cultists' own ritual daggers, and had the crew smear their fresh blood and viscera on the greasy black stone, and finally tied the acolytes' bodies naked to the bow.

The Church of the Stars is a notorious cult that often appears in port cities.

Legend has it that the Star Position originated from the Bloodstone Emperor of the Dawn Kingdom, who usurped the throne of his sister, the Amethyst Queen, and killed her. He abandoned the true gods of Yi Ti, the Daughters of Light and the Night Lions, and turned to worship a black stone that fell from the sky.

Acolytes of the Order of the Stars haunt the harbor, gathering in secret to chant to the night's stars.

Euron likes to use these people of faith very much, and their souls always have various wonderful effects. He never prays during the rituals, but these so-called gods never refuse. It's that simple, and the warships set off.

The so-called prayers to the storm god and the gods are such foolish things. As long as the method is correct, all gods are blind wood and dry bones.

The bloody black stone was finally simply sprinkled with a layer of human bone powder, and the voice of the Storm God would no longer disturb Euron.

Euron looked at the sea monster that was following the ship and was injured but defeated an important part of the so-called gods, and he despised the so-called gods even more in his heart.

almost.

Euron saw his own reflection in the blood. He saw his own black eyes smiling in the scarlet blood. It was a sober and peaceful smile.

When he reaches that condition, he will obtain peace, eternal peace. He will isolate himself from all the noisy and disgusting sounds in this world and bring unprecedented peace to the world.

Can the petty quarrels between the Storm God and the Drowned God be called a war among gods?

Disdain appeared in Euron's expression.

He returned to the captain's room of the 'New Serenity' with disdain.

When the door is closed, there is deathly silence, and he likes this kind of silence.

With no distractions in his mind, no prayers in his ears, he was so clear and peaceful.

He was angry and disgusted by the noisy, harassing voices that rang in his mind without his consent, and he was disgusted by the stupid gods who were powerless when separated from mortals.

almost.

Soon those disgusting, false and stupid beings will no longer be able to penetrate into his consciousness and dreams and disturb the peace and clarity of his mind. He will show them what the true power of gods is and what real war is.

Legend has it that Naga, the first sea dragon in the world, was killed by the Grey King with the help of the Drowned God. Naga's ribs became the Grey King's Hall, and Naga's fire was kept in the hall to keep it warm forever. After the Grey King died, the Storm God couldn't wait to extinguish Naga's fire.

However, although the Storm God extinguished the fire of the Naga, the faith and sect of this god also disappeared. People can only occasionally hear the believers of the Drowned God mention this heretic god who has been missing for thousands of years, and use it to curse and curse heretics.

Who could have thought that in the heroic era when God's chosen people walked the earth, this storm god would leave the stage early.

Because of his own stupidity and delusion, the Storm God poured his power into his own creation, the most powerful creature born in the sea, the sea dragon Naga. Relying on the powerful body of the sea dragon, he once roamed the world, invincible, feeding on sea monsters and sea beasts, and could swallow entire islands when angry.

However, the Grey King, the chosen one of the Drowned God, designed to kill Him and dismember Him. His ribs were left in the Naga Hills to build a palace, and His original spirit was imprisoned and was not freed until nearly a thousand years later. His skull and limbs created in imitation of the Yiti true dragon were discarded in a very insulting manner and sealed in the place where the Storm God once left his legend.

And such a god who lost almost all of his divine power due to stupidity is now trying to revive because he has obtained some kind of power.

Euron only used the ritual of the Storm God, but He wanted to resurrect with the help of Euron.

Euron is not his believer, nor will he be a believer or tool of any god. It’s just that the ritual power of the Storm God is more useful at sea. Why should he help him?
Oh, let Him die.

Euron has his own things to do, which are much better than the vulgar interests of these so-called gods.

Viserys looked at the bones he had grabbed from the ruins and was surprised to find that it was just a leg bone of some giant creature.

He felt the magic of the dragon soul from this leg bone, but this leg bone was completely different from the dragon bones Viserys knew. Neither Viserys's own observations nor the books on dragon research brought by Marwyn could find the location of this leg bone.

The dragons of this world - at least the dragons of Valyria - have leg bones similar to bird bones, which are light and strong, with thin bone plates and hollow bones. Most importantly, they contain a large amount of iron and are black in color.

However, this leg bone suspected to be a "dragon bone" is obviously much heavier than a normal dragon bone, and is severely fossilized, appearing the normal calcified bone white color.

Viserys couldn't figure out what this bone was that might be closely related to the Storm God.

But there was no doubt that the abnormality today was caused by this bone. This bone was burned several times by Viserys's fire rays. Even the human bones and the black stone next to it were melted, and the black mud that seemed like a living thing was completely burned to ashes, but this bone was still intact.

At first, Viserys just tried to touch it, prepared to be cursed, but there was no curse on the bone. Instead, Viserys felt the long-lost magic of the dragon soul.

This actually confused Viserys. Could it be that the Storm God was related to "dragons"?
Viserys couldn't understand it, so he could only grab the bone out first.

Compared to the questions this bone brought to Viserys.

It is not so rare to encounter mermaids here.

In the world of ice and fire, the legend of mermaids is like that of sea monsters, and has always been passed down among sailors.

The oceans of this world are much wider than the land, so since sea monsters exist, it is normal for mermen to exist. However, mermen seem to have their own civilization and language, which surprised Viserys.

Mermaids are suspected to be followers of the Drowned God. Legend has it that the Grey King of the Iron Islands married a mermaid.

Viserys guessed that the murlocs that appeared today were responsible for guarding the black stone seals here, perhaps they were the armed forces of the Drowned God's cult and murloc priests.

Viserys remembered the roars and howls of monsters he had heard when they had first discovered the cave hidden in the canyon.

Perhaps these mermen had fought several battles with the monster, which was presumably made up of the fishermen's corpses, before Viserys and his party arrived, and it was not a coincidence that they appeared today. Viserys and his party were the third party that intervened in the fight.

But Viserys could no longer get the truth from these speculations, after all, the sealed cave had been completely destroyed by Viserys.

Viserys was troubled by finding only one huge leg bone in the ruins, because this undoubtedly meant that there was definitely more than one sealed site that was definitely related to the Storm God.

This was something that Viserys didn't know exactly how much of the bones he had in his hands, so he had to search everywhere to collect them.

The only good news was that after Viserys calcined the bones and burned the obviously abnormal black mud into ashes, the storm in the area was visibly alleviated and turned into a drizzle.

This meant that, as Viserys had suspected, the seal had been broken, and something among the black mud and bones had caused the abnormal rainfall in the Stormlands.

This time the losses were heavy. The 200 knights and sergeants who followed were not wearing armor and only leather protective gear because they were marching in a storm. More than 20 sergeants were killed in the battle with the murlocs, and another 20 were injured.

The horses that were scared away are still being found. It is probably because this place is remote and the horses only have one way to run, so they will all be found in the end.

Viserys was worried that this extraordinary experience would frighten many knights and soldiers, causing them to panic and become mentally abnormal, and even causing some of the weaker ones to lose their minds.

Little did he know that the people of Westeros were more accepting of those who were different than Viserys had imagined.

The men cheered as Viserys flew over them clutching the alien's great bone, and shouted "Hail, Lord Viserys," and "Hail the dragon," and finally shrieked "Hail the gods, long live the dragon."

Viserys swallowed all the words he had prepared, and just hovered in the air, responding to them: "This is a great victory. Evil beings tried to use evil rituals to summon storms to submerge the Stormlands, and the aliens in the sea tried to hinder us. But we are the victors. Warriors who represent the brave spirit of mankind, let us pick up the spoils of victory. Triumph!"

These soldiers were easier to deal with than expected. Viserys only had to shout to stir up their emotions and they would respond with red faces.

"Triumph! Triumph! Triumph!"

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

What Viserys had not expected was that the biggest problem in this battle with the aliens was the distribution of the spoils - that is, more than thirty murloc corpses.

Because it was raining heavily when the battle took place, the scene was very chaotic and many people couldn't tell which murloc they had killed.

So after the war they started looting the bodies of the fishmen, claiming that they were the aliens they had killed.

These are the people of Westeros. They plan to take the corpses of these alien creatures back and collect them as trophies to show their bravery, just like they do when they hunt wild boars, elk, black bears and shadow cats.

Some even planned to take it back and sell it to merchants in the East or eat it themselves.
When Viserys heard that someone was planning to eat murlocs, he felt a chill run down his spine.

After all, Viserys was not present at the time, so the distribution of "trophies" and "merits" was handed over to the commander, Ser Mond. Viserys would only give rewards according to merit in the end.

Considering that this was the first group of soldiers in Viserys' army to encounter the aliens, three squires and four strong ordinary sergeants were knighted in this encounter. They were all people who were confirmed to have killed more than one murloc and saved their companions in the encounter.

Viserys now has many knight lords in the Stormlands, so it's no big deal to confer knighthoods on a few of them. These new knights who call themselves "Murloc Knights" are also commendable for their courage. After all, they have earned their knighthoods with their courage and lives.

The number of fishmen that appeared before was much greater than theirs.

The remaining warriors who caused the casualties were originally knights and nobles. Viserys only gave them different levels of money and honor rewards according to the number of murlocs they killed.

There is also the aftermath and compensation for the dead in battle that needs to be dealt with.

When the troops were withdrawn, some people wanted to go to the ruins scorched by dragon flames to look for the corpse of the giant fishman and the corpse of the strange humanoid monster, as well as the huge black stone.

Viserys didn't object. There was nothing to be found there anyway. Rather than letting these people come here and risk their lives to search, it would be better to let them give up today.

The strange humanoid monster and the giant fish-man corpse had long been burned to ashes by Viserys, and the bones had melted into some lava. As for the black stone, it also lost its original appearance under the dragon flame, like a limp candle. There were still some words and paintings on it.

As for the area beneath the black stone pedestal, Viserys had already investigated it. There was a large water hole whose depth was unclear, and it emitted a rotten and smelly smell of sea water.

Viserys spit a mouthful of fire into the cave and found that it was a pool of sewage. The sewage was once boiled by the dragon flame, but nothing unusual happened again. Viserys speculated that the water in the big cave might have an underground cave undercurrent that could connect to the depths of the ocean.

But Viserys was amphibious and had no way to deal with underwater, so he could only leave it alone. After all, after getting the bone, the black mud no longer appeared, and the weather also improved slightly, and the problem in this area seemed to have been solved.

Viserys got the bone but didn't know what to do with it. He thought about rushing back to the Stormlands and issuing orders to all the territories affected by the rain in the Stormlands to send out scouts to investigate all places where the mysterious schools of fish had landed.

Since this thing is a collectible, Viserys has people under his command, so there is no need to look for it one by one. When the soldiers here return to Rain House City with the spoils and spread the news of what happened, it will be inevitable that other places will pay attention to it.

Moreover, the merchant ships and warships of the Golden Group that disappeared in Shipbreaker Bay were not found here, and Viserys could not help but feel a chill. If more people's bodies were used by evil forces, how disgusting would the combined monsters be?
Considering that the murlocs were a group that seemed to have their own civilization, Viserys was afraid that these Westeros warriors who had faced the aliens would be attacked on their way back, so he sent these warriors away for a while.

After confirming that the murlocs would no longer appear, Viserys rushed back to Storm's End with the "trophies" he had obtained from this strange experience.
