Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 214 The End of the Battlefield
The sea monster's body was thrown back into the sea.

Viserys began to breathe frost.

The white ice froze the sea monster bit by bit. Although it was dead, its ten short arms and two long arms still looked ferocious, and its huge trunk was as big as a hundred-oared boat.

By the time Viserys had frozen its entire body into the ice, the iceberg formed by the frozen sea monster was as big as a ship with two hundred oars.

Two rowing boats began construction, and the shipwrights on board, wearing thick woolen clothes, nailed the broken planks on the sea to the huge iceberg with ropes and iron nails.

Finally, they tied the iron rope that the rowing boat used to use to tow the boat to the broken board.

When the shipwright finished all this in the freezing cold of the iceberg, Viserys exhaled again, and spit out another layer of ice on the outside to ensure its solidity.

Boom boom boom!
The rhythmic beat of drums began.

"Hey yo! Hey yo!" the sailors' shouts rang out.

The rowboat began to move.

As the tugboat's iron chain straightened.

The huge iceberg began to be dragged slowly.

There was cheering from the fleet watching nearby.

King Viserys planned to have the two rowing boats tow the sea monster to Whispering Bay and transport it to Oldtown. They would stop at the port of Oldtown to wait for the arrival of the army, and at the same time, the damaged ships of the Redwyne fleet would return to the port of Oldtown to "rest and repair".

It's a bit speechless to say that Viserys only consumed half of his limited ice magic in the battle, but used up all of it in the matter of sealing the sea monster.

Euron never reappeared.

The strange blood color on the sea of ​​blood dissipated, making it look mysterious and weird.

Viserys guessed that Euron had escaped again.

It was difficult to deal with a skinchanger as powerful as Euron. Viserys thought of what the Dragonbinder had done in Valyria.

In the end, the Valyrians locked up the Dragonbinder with chains engraved with magical runes, which truly killed him.

Viserys was not sure whether Euron's goal had been achieved, because when a whirlpool appeared in the sea of ​​blood, the suppression of his "song" became less and less, and when the whirlpool sucked away all the blood, the "magic" that could be felt in the air fell into complete calm.

But no matter what, Viserys imprisoned Euron's true body.

It is said that the death of a skinchanger's body is considered "real" death. Although their consciousness will remain in the consciousness of the controlled animal, the remaining consciousness will become simpler and the memory will gradually become blurred until they completely lose their humanity.

But this is not necessarily the case with Euron. Viserys is willing to compare him to the Dragonbinder, believing that he may still be powerful even if he loses his "original body".

But "essence" must be of vital importance in mysticism, so Viserys firmly believes that imprisoning Euron's essence will definitely have an impact on Euron.

Then, Viserys discovered a point. If he killed Euron's original body, Euron's resurrection through the sea monster's young son would actually be in line with the "rebirth in the land of smoke and salt" to some extent. This idea made Viserys feel very strange.

Also, Viserys had looked into Euron's bloody eyes before. For some reason, that reminded him of the third eye of the Three-Eyed Raven. Viserys must ask the Three-Eyed Raven for clarification one day. Perhaps Euron is the demon spawned by the Three-Eyed Raven.

Back to the present.

The Redwyne fleet returned to the vicinity of this sea area.

The only thing left on the sea was the relatively intact wreckage of the New Tranquility and countless broken ships floating on the sea, as well as many pale corpses that looked bloodless.

Originally, some people in the fleet wanted to salvage the wreckage, but after witnessing the previous strange phenomenon, no one was willing to approach this place again.

Seeing that the fleet was not approaching, Viserys went down and dismantled the New Serenity himself.

However, Viserys did not find anything useful in the captain's room. Euron did not read books or take notes, and he collected very few mysterious objects. In the captain's room, Viserys found several Valyrian steel daggers. It seems that Euron has really been to the ruins of Valyria, but it is strange that Euron has a set of Valyrian steel armor and many Valyrian steel daggers, but only an unnamed Valyrian steel sword - Viserys had previously deliberately frozen the sword that fell from Euron's hand together with Euron's body, and this sword is now in the ice where Euron's body is.

Normally, if Euron really entered the ruins and brought out all the armor, he could have brought out a few more swords. There is no reason to find so many daggers but not a few swords. It may also be that Euron had many restrictions when entering the ruins of Valyria, so he only had enough to take out a set of armor, several daggers, a sword and a dragon egg.

Viserys searched the captain's cabin, but all he found were a few Valyrian daggers and half a barrel of a thick, strange blue drink called Nightshade Water.

Viserys did not know how Euron was connected to the wizard of Qarth, but there was no doubt that this was the wizard's Water of Nightshade.

Viserys had no interest in the thing and simply knocked it to the ground.

Apart from that, there were only some gold and gems that meant nothing to Viserys.

Viserys continued to dismantle the ship, destroying decks and searching for storehouses on board.

He did find it, but it contained only gold coins, gems and various valuable spices from the free cities, but not the magic items Viserys wanted.

In the end, Viserys only took the Vulcan Steel Dagger and told Ser Desmond that there was no curse on the New Serenity, so he could go ahead and seize it.

Viserys had little interest in the remaining spoils, but he still followed the rules and asked Ser Desmond to gather the spoils for distribution.

Considering that they had not yet been formally incorporated into Viserys's army, Viserys only allowed Ser Desmond to distribute the spoils according to the original rules. When Redwyne's main fleet arrived at the Shield Islands, Viserys arranged for personnel to formally popularize the new military merit system for them.

Cleaning up a battlefield is always more troublesome than fighting a war.

With the attitude of doing things to the end, Viserys still issued a few orders. To deal with, salvage, and collect the dead on his side, and to send a fleet to send the dead back to the Arbor. As for the bodies of the Ironmen, Viserys thought about it and thought that these people really had no honor, so he did not intend to restrain them.

But that's definitely not the case. What Viserys said at the end was: "Although the enemy has no honor, we still act in the spirit of honor and do not damage their bodies. We will bury them at sea according to the traditional customs of the Iron Men." In fact, he just let the bodies drift on the sea to feed the fish.

It’s just that all the fish in this sea area have been scared away, and these corpses may have drifted to an unknown place.

Viserys tried to accumulate a high-pressure center again and summon an east wind, but without the power increase, the east wind that Viserys re-accumulated could not be as strong as before, and could only last for a while, but it was enough to allow the corpses and broken ships to drift as far away from the coast as possible.

The battle lasted only an hour, but it took a full half day to clean up the battlefield.

It was not until dusk that the fleet was reorganized and divided up here.

Originally, a celebratory banquet was supposed to be held on the ship today, but everyone wanted to get away from this strange sea as soon as possible.

Half of the undamaged Redwyne fleet continued to the Shield Islands, while the "damaged" fleet went to Oldtown. However, the "damaged" fleet was a bit large, with more than ninety ships, and the commander was Sir Desmond Redwyne. The most eye-catching thing about this fleet was the two rowing boats in the middle of the fleet that were towing a sea monster "iceberg". The fleet that was divided into two groups and headed to the Shield Islands had more than seventy ships and more than twenty prisoner ships, totaling a hundred ships, and was commanded by another knight from the Redwyne family. They will take the surrendered prisoners to the Shield Islands together. There is actually no enemy situation on the Shield Islands, and this group of people are more to assist in defense and bring prisoners to the High Court for conviction and disposal.

Viserys covered the two fleets in the air and observed for a long time, watching Euron seem to have completely disappeared and did not retaliate. He finally went back with a strange idea.

Viserys placed Euron's frozen body in ice on the cliff by the bay. He could see it as soon as he raised his eyes, so he simply left it there without a care.

It took most of the day to clean up the battlefield and divide the troops. Viserys knew the power of his frost breath and knew that the ice would not melt in a short time. He was just not sure whether the people inside were frozen to death.

Wait until the fleet leaves.

Viserys finally flew back to the cliff and came to the ice that sealed Euron.

Although the ground was covered with melted water, the white ice was still solid. Euron, wearing Valyrian armor inside, still maintained the ferocious smile he had before being wrapped in the ice.

Viserys breathes fire, thawing Euron's body.

As the flames burned, the ice slowly melted.

For safety reasons, Viserys thawed his lower body from the chest down first.

Under the burning flames, Euron's hands were the first to be freed.

Viserys peeled off his vambrace, tearing away the layers of silk lining it.

Soon, his hands, which had turned blue due to the cold, were exposed.

Viserys stretched out his claws tentatively to feel for a pulse, but he was not sure whether the dragon claw's sensitivity was too poor or Euron had indeed been frozen to death, but he could not feel a pulse or heartbeat.

Viserys then thaws out most of Euron's body.

Viserys removed his armor and examined it like a researcher.

Euron's body was stiff, and it looked like he had frozen and died. Viserys tried to cut Euron's skin, and the blood that flowed out of the wound was clotted and black.

It seems that Euron's body has not deviated from the human category and is not cold-resistant. His body has died of hypothermia due to being frozen in the cold.

After thawing, the bluish-white flesh gradually turns bright red, the skin shrinks noticeably, and the parts of the limbs not covered by clothes are severely frostbitten, swelling purple-red with a clear boundary from the parts covered by clothes, with blisters visible in between.

The stiffness of a body during thawing is due to freezing, not rigor mortis. The bright red color of the muscles indicates that the coagulated blood in the cold has melted and diffused through the skin into the superficial blood vessels. Rigor mortis will occur within a few hours after thawing.

After observation and judgment, the cause of death was vasodilation, paralysis, slow blood flow or even cessation caused by low temperature. The blood circulation disorder caused tissue hypoxia and brain hypoxia, leading to paralysis of the vascular motor center and respiratory motor center and death.

After all, Viserys' ice is not the cryogenic hibernation device in science fiction novels, but real ice, and Euron is a human, not a monster.

It seems that the human bodies in the Ice and Fire World are much weaker than those in the Hyrule World.

You should know that the humans and monsters living on the Hyrule continent will not die after being frozen by the ice breath of Guriok, but will only fall into low-temperature hibernation, and will even come back to life quickly after being thawed. However, the people in the world of ice and fire, even those who can use magic like Euron, were actually frozen to death.

Although it was a little unexpected, Viserys had confirmed that Euron's body was dead.

But Viserys would not just abandon Euron's body here just because of his physical death.

In the original world line, Jon Snow was stabbed to death by the Night's Watch in the end, and it is very likely that he will be resurrected and reborn in the "land of smoke and salt."

There are many ways to resurrect in this world. Even if Euron's body is dead, Viserys will take the body back and seal it.

Although he didn't know the specifics yet, Viserys firmly believed that the "original body" must be of great significance to the skinchangers.

Euron and Viserys have fought twice, and Euron must hate Viserys very much.

Thinking of this, Viserys no longer cared about the red tape. He shrank his body, stretched out his claws, and directly dug Euron's devilish blood-red eyes out of his eye sockets. At the same time, he twisted the important joints of Euron's body into dislocation.

In this case, even if he was resurrected in this body, Euron would be a disabled person with one eye blind.

After waiting for the ice magic to recover to a certain level, Viserys breathed frost at the corpse again, separating the corpse and the bloody eyeball and sealing them together.

When all this was done, Viserys passed the spoils - the naga skull, the vulcan armor, the vulcan sword, and the vulcan dagger - through the dragon flame, then packed them up, grabbed them together with the ice that sealed Euron's body, flapped his wings and flew high into the sky, heading inland.

And Viserys could never know, as he did so, in the unreachable depths of the nearby sea.

A monster with terrifying black eyes, a body that looked half human and half sea monster, much taller and more twisted than a human, was waving its ten long arms and twisting into a ball in pain.

Sounds produced underwater cannot reach the surface of the sea.

But if anyone was listening, and knew Old Valyrian, they would have heard the word screamed by the agonized voice: BLOODSTONE!
But in fact, it doesn't matter whether you understand Old Valyrian or not, because as the monster roars, an invisible wave spreads on the seabed and underground. The wave carries mysterious information, and the scream from the monster's mouth turns into an invisible wave that spreads to hundreds of miles around.

The information contained in this mysterious wave can be understood and repeated in one's own way as long as one can hear it, and let the listener know the meaning contained in it.

Towering tower.

In a room that was still as bright as day due to the oil lamp in the night, a gloomy, hunchbacked, pale-faced, and somewhat disheveled woman suddenly opened her eyes wide from her listless confusion.

The woman was muttering to herself as if possessed by some power. Her originally hunched body suddenly straightened up and her figure instantly became taller.

Her thin and tall body stood straight like a bamboo pole, with her hands stretched out in a very strange posture.

The woman stood in the middle of the room in this strange posture, and her whole body fell into a strange silence, as if she was listening to something.

The woman's shadow under the light was as dark as ink, like a black hole, and her silence made it look like there was a shadow monster hiding under her. If other people were watching, they would inexplicably feel uncomfortable and uneasy, and even feel their hair stand on end and their skin crawl.

At a certain moment, the woman spoke a word with strange syllables with a strange poetic feeling. Hearing that word, one could hear the seemingly endless calls coming from underground as if through telepathy. That word was neither Common Language, nor Valyrian, nor even the spell language of Asshai, but some kind of older and more ancient syllables.

But the old man in Oldtown could understand.

He knew what the word was.

Bloodstone.
