Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 72 "Behind the Curtain"

The good news is that the Dragonbinder's Horn contains a very large dragon soul, and the mysterious being behind it tried to use it to assassinate Viserys but failed and disappeared without a trace.

The bad news is that the dragon soul in the Dragonbinder's Horn passed through Daenerys's hand. It was not through the strange dream that they established a mysterious connection, but these powers, like the sapphire curse that Viserys had encountered before, directly flowed out of the horn and attached to Viserys, fiercely confronting the magic from the other world in his body.

In this magical confrontation, Viserys discovered that his magic was not able to strangle the sapphire curse as it had done before. Instead, it was constantly eroding the magic, crushing and swallowing it, turning it into a part of his body's magic.

But unlike swallowing in a dream, this kind of magic power against his flesh and blood was slow and tenacious, and he couldn't swallow it all in one breath.

The dragon soul magic power of this horn is enormous, which means that he will have to live in this dragon form for a long time.

It was really frightening for Viserys. When Viserys woke up, Daenerys found that he was awake and actually touched his body out of concern.

He almost screamed out and dodged in panic, but because he was exhausted from waking up, his body was limp and he was still touched by Daenerys.

This caring gesture from Daenerys touched and frightened Viserys, fearing that the dragonbinder's soul would invade Daenerys's mind through the power attached to his body just as it invaded his own.

Viserys was terrified by the mental invasion that almost took place at the hands of the Dragonbinder.

Fortunately, Daenerys was fine, and the Dragonbinder's soul seemed to have been destroyed by him in the confrontation.

The power of the huge horn seemed to have poured into his body, and now it had lost the magical power to maintain it. The horn, which was originally smooth and transparent, was covered with cracks. It was made of a special material with Valyrian black steel patterns, but it still looked very broken.

The strange ancient magic runes engraved on the stripes on the horn have disappeared - Viserys remembered that in the Dragonbinder's vague memory, a mysterious person used the Dragonbinder's remains, extracted his soul through secret techniques, and then used cruel magic to carve runes on his soul to make a horn.

The mysterious man who made the horn might be the mysterious being hiding behind the scenes, claiming that the prophecy was taken away by Viserys, or his ancestor.

It is more likely to be our ancestor.

The Dragonbinder lived a long time ago. Combined with his fragmentary memories, it is speculated that it was during the Andal invasion of Westeros, which happened at least four thousand years ago. If he is a mysterious being who has lived for four thousand years, then the power he shows is too weak.

Judging from the performance of that mysterious being, being possessed by Viserys is a very serious matter, and he will not let it go.

Now that I think about it, it's a good thing that Viserys didn't rush to the ruins on the Valyrian Peninsula. It was very dangerous there, a land full of terrible curses. Euron was able to get the horn there because the mysterious being and the Drowned God had reached some kind of agreement on their destiny.

The red comet had only been in the sky for three days, and already this mysterious side of the world was already active.

Sea monsters, dragonbinders, dragons, and the strange flames of the Red God priest's necklace appeared one after another in front of Viserys. And Daenerys, it is now difficult to classify her as an ordinary person. In the dream, her body is wrapped in magical flames, and in reality, she has the power to hatch dragons.
At this moment, Viserys was very worried. Could the return ship reach Tyrosh safely?
It turned out that Viserys's worries were a bit excessive.

During the next twenty days of voyage, the merchant ship did not encounter any strange incidents.

Except that the room that Viserys had created to hide the three-headed dragon from prying eyes now actually contained a three-headed dragon and a baby dragon, and the return journey was surprisingly smooth.

Not only was there no incident when they passed through the waters outside Valyria, but even when they made a brief stop in the deep waters outside the port of Volantis to purchase supplies, which Viserys considered to be a radical and adventurous act within the Red God's sphere of influence, there were no accidents.

Even when merchant ships passed through the Rees-Tyrosine route, the tolls charged by the fleets they encountered on the road were reduced by several percent.

When the merchant ships were buying fresh water in the deep waters outside the port of Lys, they learned from the ships selling water and fresh fruits outside the port that the Lys fleet and the Tyroshi fleet had previously fought a battle in the Stepstones, and the two sides had now stopped fighting and returned to a state of confrontation.

But judging from the tolls, the situation was much calmer than when they first passed by. The Lysians said they had won. They saw the heavily guarded "sailors" on the three merchant ships and laughed at them for being too nervous. Now the pirates of the Stepstones were frightened by the naval battle between Lys and Tyrosh and no one knew where they had gone.

But when the merchant ships sailed into Tyrosh, the people of Tyrosh said they had won the naval battle.

Judging from the areas of activity of both fleets and the tolls collected, the experienced old captain Grolai judged that the battle was a small victory for the Tyroshis.

Seeing that the merchant ship was about to arrive in Tyrosh, Viserys had to express his feelings. He had to move the dragon's throat to imitate the sound of his human form and said to Daenerys who was teasing the young dragon beside him: "Dany, go change your clothes and sit behind the screen. I'm going to send someone to call Grolet over."

More than twenty days have passed, and Viserys still hasn't recovered from his dragon form. The magical power of the Dragonbinder's Horn is too great. He has only consumed a little bit of it over the past few days, and it seems unknown how long it will take to completely digest it.

To make sure that this curse-like magical possession would not be transmitted to Daenerys, they tried to have Daenerys absorb the magic possessed by Viserys by touching him, but it did not work, or to be more precise, it did not achieve the effect Viserys wanted.

Daenerys could absorb some energy from Viserys, but that energy would not appear in her dreams like the dragon soul she absorbed in the past, ready for her to devour. They tested it for several days and confirmed that after Daenerys absorbed the energy, she could only digest it on her own.

However, Daenerys digested this energy at an astonishingly slow rate. According to the mathematical model of the reservoir's water discharge and water intake, Daenerys only digested one tenth of the energy she could absorb throughout the day. Even if she digested it all every day, the energy she absorbed was a drop in the bucket compared to the huge energy in Viserys.

Viserys was digesting this energy very quickly, but his size had not shrunk at all. He was still the same size as when he first touched the horn, expanding to three or four meters.

Viserys didn't want to expose himself as a three-headed dragon to the world, so he had to come up with a way to "rule from behind the curtain."

He had had Daenerys alter all his clothes these days, using the worthless scraps of dragon bones left in Astapor to prop up the shoulders of the clothes, making her look broader and taller when she wore them. Then, if she had to give orders, Viserys planned to have her sit behind a screen to disguise herself as him, while Viserys would be responsible for intimidating the audience with the extended dragon head.

When Daenerys heard what her brother said, she quickly put the baby dragon down and handed it to him, then went to change her clothes.

By the way, the dragon was tossed around by Viserys and Dany several times. Dany touched it to absorb power, and then connected with Viserys through blood. After these times, the magic power in it became purer and purer, but its brain seemed to become dumber and dumber. It no longer looked smart when it just broke out of the shell, and now looked stupid.

But Daenerys likes it more now. She thinks that after it becomes dumber, it looks more like a newborn dragon, and it is no longer afraid of Viserys. After Daenerys released it from the wooden cage, it often took the initiative to stick to Viserys who was lying in the room. It is said that the young dragon can also absorb energy from Viserys, but less than Daenerys, almost negligible. It began to eat roasted meat, swallowing several times its body weight every day. It can now fly, and often wants to fly out of the window, but Viserys always stretches out his claws to catch it back. Daenerys observes it all day long, watching it grow every day, and now it is as big as a seagull.

At first, the most troublesome thing was dealing with its feces. It started out by defecating everywhere like a bird, but after being intimidated and educated by Viserys, it learned to defecate in a wooden box filled with sand.

After realizing that dragons also need to eat, drink, defecate and urinate, what surprised Daenerys the most was that Viserys, despite his huge size, could live without eating, drinking or defecation.

For this reason, Viserys had to tell her: "Dany, this is nothing strange. Some animals can eat one meal for half a year, and they are motionless during hibernation. And in fact, when the strength reaches a certain level, they don't need to eat to survive. The nutrients needed by the body are essentially energy. In the future, when you become stronger, there may be such a day. But disguise is necessary. If I forget this when I am alone in the future, remember to remind me. Otherwise, people will regard you as an alien."

It is said that the red-robed priestess who was imprisoned in the cabin is now on a hunger strike. She has not eaten or drunk for more than 20 days, but the Unsullied who is responsible for watching her said that she is still beautiful and charming, with no abnormalities, and she recites scriptures all day long and is very pious.

Fortunately, Viserys put her under house arrest, and no one else knew about this fact, which could be called a miracle, except the Unsullied and the guards who delivered food and water every day.

Daenerys quickly changed her clothes and combed her hair to look like Viserys. In fact, she was sitting behind the screen so that no one could see, but she felt it was necessary to do so. "How is it? Does it look like Viserys?"

Viserys glanced at her and nodded, "All right."

Daenerys paid close attention to her brother's gaze, and couldn't help but hold up her breasts, which were indistinguishable from male and female after she put on the loose clothes. She already knew that Viserys's eyes lingered there because he didn't want to be exposed in such details. But she was still very distressed, and she had been trying hard to eat more meat, eggs and milk.
