Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 6 Try
Viserys certainly knew that his deliberate confusion would make some people imagine things and might even cause them to react in a certain way.

But it didn't matter. He had another story and was waiting for Illyrio to explore it. The longer Illyrio delayed, the more complete the story he could prepare, and the more it would fit the original cognitive logic of this body.

This is the natural advantage of a time traveler. He can use the results to reverse the logic, combine it with the original body's memory, and add conspiracy theories. If he can't think of a few excuses to buy himself time, then he should just follow the original plot and wait to be doused with melted gold.

But rhetoric and sophistry are ultimately minor matters, and without the support of strength they can only serve to confuse the public for a short time.

The most important thing at the moment is to study the dragon bone pendant that was snatched from Illyrio.

The dragon bone pendant is very light and is made of a small piece of agate-like black broken bone. The broken end is inlaid with crystal clear gems, and the hanging rope is a thin chain woven with silver. The craftsmanship is very exquisite.

But Viserys was a man who would burn the piano and cook the crane. He only had eyes for the black broken bone, and he really wanted to take off the jewels and silver chain.

Viserys's mission was to "collect", which meant that the "dragon soul" was a scattered thing, and this piece of broken bone gave him a strange feeling when he touched it, so he determined that there must be something related to the dragon soul in it.

Unfortunately, a simple touch could not arouse the dragon soul that might be hidden in it. The touch was strange and unreal. Viserys believed that it was a mystical touch, and the essence was that the power hidden in his body was reacting to it.

But how can we use this reaction to leverage the power within the body?
Viserys began to try.

He first took out the dagger he carried with him - it was the only sharp weapon on him. As far as he remembered, Viserys originally had a sword, but later sold it in order to survive. Fortunately, he remembered to keep a dagger with him for self-defense.

Gently cutting the tip of his finger, Viserys squeezed out the blood and smeared it on the black dragon bone.

This is probably an attempt that every time traveler will make when they have no idea where to get the treasure.

It’s a pity that the dragon bone didn’t change much and didn’t absorb the blood to shine brightly.

But Viserys was not discouraged. He brought the bloody dragon bone close to his nostrils and sniffed the scent carefully.

After hesitating for a long time, he finally stuck out his tongue and licked the blood-stained area.

The first taste was a sickening sweetness, and one could not tell if it was the iron corrosion on the dragon bones, his blood, or the air-dried glue that the craftsman had polished on the dragon bones.

It must be said that this behavior was very risky. Fortunately, it did not work. If it did work, then if someone used it to poison him in the future, he would be caught off guard.

Although this attempt failed, the idea of ​​path dependence still exists. In the previous world, he caused the changes by swallowing the materials raw, so he still thought about whether he should swallow this thing into his stomach and give it a try.

Quickly, Viserys poured himself a glass of wine - this thirst-quenching wine is essentially a fermented beverage with a low alcohol content and a sour and slightly sweet taste. In the homes of powerful people, thirst quenching is nothing more than wine, lemonade, or tea.

Viserys began to use his dagger to try to scrape off some dragon bone fragments and mix them into the wine, shaking it evenly, and then drinking it all in one gulp.

Still ineffective.

Since it was ineffective, the idea of ​​eating the dragon bones raw was completely abandoned.

You know, the total number of dragon bones in the Ice and Fire World is not a small number, and their nature is different from the magical elemental materials he has swallowed raw.

The material of the Ancient Oak King he devoured was a pure polymer of magic elements. After being killed, the magic element monsters in Hyrule would disappear directly into the world, leaving no corpse, only the purest magic element materials on the monster, such as eyes, horns, liver, heart, wings, etc.
The dragon bodies in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire are made up of flesh, blood and magic. They are not pure creations of magical elements, and what is left behind after death is not the purest magical elemental material in the body.

If he were to eat it raw, Viserys might die of indigestion before obtaining the tiny bit of magical element contained in the dragon bones, which might be the dragon soul.

Things in this world that have a mystical meaning should be obtained using mystical methods.

Viserys remembered that in the world of ice and fire there were warlocks, magic, and even gods, and dragons were just one of them.

There must be a way to extract the dragon soul from the dragon bones.

【Would you like to try boiling it in water? 】

Viserys had a sudden idea, but quickly rejected it. Dragon bones are resistant to high temperatures, and if it were so simple to make handicrafts, it would have been discovered long ago.

Thinking from the logic of alchemy, Viserys felt that what he might need was some kind of magical extract to extract the dragon soul from the dragon bones.

[Speaking of magical extraction, Viserys thought that on Earth, ethanol, or alcohol, was the best organic solvent.]

[So, is it necessary to make alcohol to try it out? Do alchemists in this world use alcohol to extract magical elements? ]

The situation did not allow such an attempt, but Viserys made a note of the idea. If he could not find a way, he would try it someday.

So everything is back to square one.

Viserys stroked the black dragon bone and fell into deep thought.

He felt a little uncomfortable.

Touching the dragon bone, he could clearly feel the strange touch brushing across his soul like a feather.

This kind of itchy feeling, like watching a woman taking off her clothes through a glass screen, made him feel uneasy.

[No!] Viserys loosened his grip, letting the pendant slide onto the table, then he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled slowly.

Even if a few simple attempts didn't work, he couldn't get impatient.

This was the situation he had considered.

The mission information is "collect", and in a world like A Song of Ice and Fire, according to the description in the original book, magical elements will not be very active before the arrival of the red comet.

【So it’s normal that you can’t find a solution for a while. Be patient! 】

In the previous world, when he traveled through time, the chosen swordsman was still asleep, and King Guliok was nowhere to be seen. He waited for several years, until the swordsman woke up, and until the world of Hyrule changed drastically, before the opportunity came.

And now he has only been in this world for a day and a half.

What he should do now is to wait patiently.

According to the original plot, the Targaryen brothers and sisters will live in Illyrio for more than half a year, and then migrate in the Dothraki grasslands for nearly a year before the red comet appears.

In other words, he might have to wait for a year and a half.

Here, Viserys has to deal with Illyrio, who has ulterior motives, and Varys, the eight-clawed spider hiding behind the scenes. These two are suspected to be the masterminds behind various conspiracies in the world of ice and fire.

Illyrio Viserys had already been contacted and would not be mentioned again.

As for Varys the Octopus Spider hiding behind the scenes, he is the chief of intelligence and spy chief of the current King of Westeros. In the original book, he has many eyes and ears, and almost no secrets and conspiracies seem to be able to hide from his eyes. He is a dangerous person.

They facilitated the marriage between Daenerys and Khal Drogo in order to borrow Dothraki troops for the Beggar King so that he could stir up trouble in Westeros.

As for the real intention, it is to pave the way for the "fake Aegon" whom they truly support.

At least that's what it appears to be.

Because Mr. Martin had not finished writing the book before he traveled through time, Viserys did not dare to believe those groundless speculations.

Some say they are the "Blackfyre", and Aegon, who secretly supports them, is the "Brown Dragon" that Daenerys sees.

"Blackfyre" was originally the name of a Valyrian steel one-and-a-half-handed sword that was passed down in the Targaryen family in history - "one-and-a-half-handed sword" is a type of sword.

Later, the "incompetent king" Aegon chose to pass it on to his illegitimate son, who took "Blackfyre" as his surname and established the "Blackfyre" family. Later, due to the various stupid actions of the incompetent king, the Blackfyre family rebelled and fought for the Iron Throne. After the failure, the Blackfyre remnants fled to the Free Trade Cities - those who failed in the struggle in Westeros like to run here.

Many readers on Earth suspect that Illyrio and Varys are "Blackfyres" and that they support the remnants of the Targaryen clan in order to let them stir up trouble in Westeros first and then reap the benefits.

As for "Broon", it is even more complicated. "Broon" is a small part of the many prophecies that Daenerys saw in the Undying Temple in the original book. It is generally believed to be the "fake Aegon" secretly supported by Illyrio and Varys - the "Aegon" here is the son of Prince Rhaegar, the last crown prince of the Targaryen dynasty, Aegon Targaryen, born to the legitimate wife Elia Martell, not the illegitimate son Jon Snow in the TV series.

In the original novel, it was initially said that little Aegon was thrown against the wall by the Mountain and his head was smashed when King's Landing fell. Later, Varys said that little Aegon was not dead, but a peasant child died. The real Aegon was replaced by a cat and sent to the other side of the Narrow Sea, where he was raised by Jon Connington, a friend of Rhaegar.

Some readers believe that the true identity of this "fake Aegon" is Illyrio's son.

To put it simply, the reason why Illyrio supports Viserys Targaryen right now is to pave the way for "Aegon", whom he truly supports.

Viserys' opponent is a thousand-layer pancake, with Illyrio on the first layer, Varys on the second layer, and Aegon.

All in all, the situation is complicated and a deep pit.

Viserys wanted to get out of this hole if he could.

Unfortunately, his first attempt was unsuccessful, and the dragon bone pendant seemed unable to save him from his suffering.

Since Long Hun couldn't think of a solution in a short time, he could only activate the backup plan.

Thinking of this, Viserys rolled up the pendant and tied it around his wrist, then stood up and began to exercise in the spacious room.

Under the stimulation of being able to see but not eat, the close contact between the skin and the dragon bone is of course a very uncomfortable thing. But what if it sticks to the skin and subtly activates some kind of power?
endure.

Viserys would have to be patient until he got used to the contact.

The original owner of this body had learned some martial arts, but due to wandering and hunger, he is now as thin as a stick and weak as a chicken. Apart from how to hold a sword, he has almost forgotten everything else.

But it doesn't matter. In the previous world, the traverser had practiced martial arts for several years in order to slay dragons. He used fists, one-handed swords, two-handed swords, spears, hammers, axes, etc.
He is best at bows, after all, explosive arrows, lightning arrows, and freezing arrows are too useful in that world.
Of course, Viserys did not expect that this skinny body could be trained to be able to fight ten people at once in a short period of time. He just needed to ensure that he had a certain ability to fight back.

As they sailed aboard, Viserys had taken careful note of the route and had assessed the strength of Illyrio's court's defenses.

At the very least, if things went wrong, he would have the strength to jump off the wall, escape into the sea, and then swim back to the secret passage under the courtyard to launch a surprise attack.
