Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.
Chapter 41 In Mir
Chapter 41 In Mir
Sailors, dock workers and merchants all made way for them, wondering who these two people with silver hair and purple eyes, dressed in silk clothes, who were accompanied by a knight, a eunuch guard and a maid, were.
The docks were a hodgepodge of people, and taverns, warehouses, and gambling houses lined the streets, closely connected to cheap brothels and temples to various strange gods. Thieves, hooligans, spell dealers, and coin dealers were everywhere.
Some people would look at them curiously, but would quickly look away and continue to focus on their own affairs.
This is the advantage of having bodyguards around you, thieves and hooligans will not come around to visit you.
Skinny old women hunched like camels, selling goat milk and flavored water from smooth clay jars strapped to their shoulders. Sailors from dozens of countries wandered between shops, drinking spiced wine and joking with each other in strange accents. The air smelled not only of salt and fried fish, but also of hot asphalt and honey, even incense, oil, and whale oil.
The dock market had everything. Along the way, Viserys and his party passed by at least ten stalls selling dragon eggs, but those dragon eggs looked quite suspicious, as if they were strange rocks painted with paint.
By the time they crossed the dock market and reached the gate into the inner city, mud had splashed all over their trouser legs.
The guards at the city gates did not check any passers-by, and Viserys and his party easily passed through the thirty-foot-thick city gates.
When passing by the fluttering flag on the side of the city gate with "the gilded skulls of all former captains" embroidered on it, Daenerys looked at it deeply, and even Ser Jorah couldn't help but look up at it.
That is the banner of the Golden Company.
In fact, Viserys' reputation as the "Beggar King" originated from Myr.
When they came out of Braavos, they chose Myr as their first stop because they were heading for the "Golden Group".
The Golden Company is a mercenary company founded by the noble bastard Aegor "Frost Iron" Rivers. It is considered the largest, most famous and most expensive Free Cities mercenary company. Although mercenaries have always had a bad reputation for being fickle, the most honorable thing about the Golden Company is that they never break their promises. Their motto is "A promise is worth a thousand gold".
Since signing the contract, the Golden Group has been renewing its contracts with Myr, and has become Myr's exclusive mercenary group.
Viserys once hosted a banquet here for the commanders of the Golden Company, hoping that they would help him regain the throne, but they enjoyed the feast and listened to Viserys's request but laughed at him.
Daenerys looked at her brother and saw that he was not looking at the banner.
They walked into the inner city in silence and finally checked into a hotel that looked quite clean and tidy, which was recommended by Captain Grole.
Viserys had said when they disembarked that they would stay in Myr for a while, trying to borrow money from various people.
"Have you forgotten what I told you?"
Viserys asked Daenerys in a low voice in Valyrian, leaving Arnie to guard the door. Arnie could hear him, he knew.
"Yes," Dany said, "'If you want to protect a secret, don't act like you have a secret to protect.'" She was thinking of another sentence: [Imagine we are making a thousand-layer cake, with layers of dough on the outside, but only we know what the filling is. And we tell everyone the information on the outermost layer, but no one will believe it until they actually see the filling.]
During countless whispers, Daenerys learned of Viserys's overall plan - perhaps it was the entire plan, but unsurprisingly she knew the most. She knew that the real purpose of this trip was to go shopping in various city-states, to find ways to touch dragon bones that she had never touched before, to obtain the magic hidden inside, and to awaken the power in her blood.
She asked Viserys what the power in her blood was, and Viserys told her it was "dragon".
The word made her think a lot.
But she also had other thoughts in her mind.
Did I really see the filling in the lasagna?
Dany chose to believe.
"You were looking at that banner as you entered the city. I know," Viserys told her. "You must learn how to hide your emotions quickly."
Viserys didn't care if Ani heard this; it wasn't worth keeping a secret.
"I'm sorry." Dany said. After her brother told her about the plan, he began to teach her how to hide herself, that is, no matter how strong the emotions in her heart were, she should not let them show on her face. She wondered where her brother learned this. And when her doubts came to her head, Viserys said to her: "You must be wondering where I learned this. You have to think about it yourself, Dany, you know the answer."
It must have been a dream, Dany thought.
Viserys must have been like her. After coming into contact with those dragon bones, he gained power from his bloodline. He gained more, knowledge from them, and the way he obtained these was through dreams.
She should have thought of it.
"Don't say sorry." Viserys' tone softened. "You have done well, but it is not enough. You must know, Dany, I expect more from you." Viserys ended the conversation. "Well, go and get ready. We will go down and send the visiting card later."
In order to keep Daenerys from leaving his sight for too long, Viserys had been living in the same suite with Dany since leaving Pentos, both on the Cedarion and in the inn.
The bed of the personal maid Ani is at the door of the suite, and Jorah and Butch live in the two rooms on the left and right next door.
The knights and the eunuch guards didn't get along well, especially Jorah, who was a little disdainful of being with the eunuchs, and Butch was always silent - he was not dumb, when Viserys or Dany gave him orders in the common language, he would say "yes" or "good", and then silently carry out the orders, but he would not answer any questions that were not orders. After a quick wash, Viserys called his men and began to act according to the plan.
There was no need to ask who the current governor in power in Myr was. Viserys learned about it from Grolet and Jorah on the boat. He came here the day before, so of course he only had to vote for that one share.
They soon arrived at the governor's mansion. Viserys didn't even have to do anything himself. He just had to hand the prepared visiting card to Jorah and let the man dressed as a Westeros knight take the card to the doorman.
Viserys arranged for his maid Arnie to wait for news in the inn, and then took Daenerys to visit the inn under the escort of Jorah and Butch.
There was no shortage of jewelry stores in the wealthy areas of Myrne. Viserys was not picky and went into any store he saw.
For someone like Viserys, dressed like that and accompanied by guards, there was basically no hindrance and he could look around the store freely.
"Here, here, these, take them out and let me have a look."
In front of a dragon bone ornament displayed in a glass container in a luxury store, Viserys unceremoniously asked the clerk to take it out for inspection.
Daenerys knew the inside story and was a little nervous, but Viserys was very calm.
"Sir, you have good taste." The clerk took out the item and said, "Look at this. It has dragon bones and rubies, and is red and black. It goes well with your silver hair and purple eyes."
Viserys looked at many of them, often raising the ornament to examine Dany's body or to compare it with his own.
"Dani, take a look at this, try it on."
Daenerys understood and let her brother decorate her head while she kept touching it.
"looks good."
Dany gradually became less nervous, and instead had a strange feeling of stealing something in front of others.
In fact, Viserys had similar feelings, but he was thick-skinned enough.
If you think about it, they are kind of like Bonnie and Brad.
Of course, he couldn't just look at them, he had to buy them too. He didn't have to buy all the dragon souls if he had them, and he didn't have to not buy them if he didn't have them. Otherwise, he would be inconvenient to do things if he got the reputation of just looking at them but not buying them. The keel he borrowed from Illyrio was brought with him on the ship for circulation. He bought it in one city and sold it in the next. Captain Grolai helped him sell it, and his finance minister personally promised him that he could use the money as he pleased.
When they left the third jewelry store, today's store exploration came to an end. Viserys had long discovered that relatively complete and good-looking dragon bones were more likely to contain dragon souls, while those that were treated as scraps or were severely eroded and difficult to handle were less likely to contain dragon souls.
As it turned out, exploring the shops was much faster than waiting in Illyrio's courtyard for him to collect. After visiting these three shops alone, Dany had absorbed a total of eight dragon souls into her body.
Viserys didn't dare let Daenerys carry too many dragon souls at once. The most he had ever done in an experiment with Illyrio was to let Daenerys carry nine at the same time. The next day, Daenerys had a fever for the first time in a long time. When she woke up, she told Viserys that the heat emitted by the Mars on her body in her dream became chaotic, and she was feeling uncomfortable due to the burning sensation.
Since then, Viserys has not dared to let her accumulate nine parts, but when she accumulated eight parts, Dany behaved normally. Viserys thought that this was probably the limit of Dany's body's ability to absorb the dragon soul. He guessed that as Dany's physique gradually changed, she would be able to cast the ancient magic of the Targaryen family in the future. According to legend, the ancestors of the Targaryen family were fire wizards.
Speaking of which, Viserys's magic power has reached a certain level, nearly thirty points of magic power. If he allowed them to freely manifest, dragon scales would cover his chest and abdomen. He is now concentrating all this magic power in his liver, and has transformed his liver into a magic dragon by a quarter.
Viserys estimated that this amount of magic would be enough to support him in using magic to construct a dragon head with a complete fire-breathing organ, which could spray several dragon flame rays.
By the way, all the magic Viserys has obtained so far is of fire attribute. He has some ideas about this, but he is still a long way from verifying his ideas.
Viserys estimated that once the magic completely transformed his liver, he would be able to use the magic to completely construct a dragon's body in a short period of time, and the body constructed with magic could last until his magic was exhausted.
To some extent, it is a bit like the ultimate skill of Dragon Knight in Dota.
So now Viserys can say that he doesn't have to fear any human of flesh and blood until his magic power is exhausted.
But the world of Ice and Fire is not full of ordinary people, not to mention the secret existence whose Daenerys was stolen by him, and no one knows how it will deal with him.
In Daenerys' dream, Viserys appears as a dark curtain, which may indicate that the secret being does not yet know what Viserys is.
The image of the three-headed dragon occupies an important prophetic position in the World of Ice and Fire. Viserys now dares not bet that when his true appearance is revealed, the secret beings in this world who have not yet noticed him will allow him to continue to grow in this way by relying on the dragon soul.
The importance of the prophecy that the dragon has three heads in the world of ice and fire is self-evident. It is too unrealistic to quietly snatch such an important ecological niche.
I know some people will say that by doing this, you are just suppressing the protagonist.
But I think that in the fight for such an important prophetic niche, the first battle is the decisive battle. When Viserys reveals his true identity, there will be only one person who meets the prophecy that the dragon has three heads.
