Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 99: Targaryen Family Tomb
As dragon flames spewed at the first dragon knight statue, the black stone sculpture slowly became hot and red. After a series of crunching sounds, the dragon knight statue slowly turned, and when his gaze turned to look at the tomb door, it stopped with a rumble.

Viserys knew that the statue had turned to its correct position.

Viserys was actually a little worried. In the heyday of this world, dragons could melt stone and steel with dragon flames, and even melt sand into glass. His magical flame rays would take a while to burn, and could not do it instantly.

Fortunately, this thing is not so accurate, and it is impossible to distinguish whether the flames Viserys spewed out were otherworldly magic or the dragon flames of this world. Speaking of which, Viserys found that since he digested the magic of the dragonbinder, his flames were more powerful than before. He suspected that he was transforming into a so-called "real dragon".

The next step is to follow the same method and spit dragon flames at the sculptures in the other three towers.

As the sculpture on the last tower turned to the correct position, the door of the mausoleum made a series of clicking sounds.

Following the sound, the door of the Targaryen family tomb opened automatically without being pushed, revealing the interior of the tomb to Viserys and Daenerys.

They looked at each other, knowing that they were all thinking the same thing, and walked slowly into the crypt in silence. Viserys was still in the form of a three-headed dragon, carefully guarding against possible traps and mechanisms. Daenerys held her brother's clothes in one hand and held a torch in the other to carefully examine the environment in the crypt.

The tomb was quite large, with stone pillars standing inside, dividing the tomb into five areas in an X shape. Each area was filled with huge, shiny black stone coffins. This was the first floor of the tomb, and the coffins they saw were all empty. The coffin lids were placed next to the coffins, leaving space for carving. After a closer look, they found that these black stone coffins were not made entirely of black stone. There was a layer of melted, colorful glass on top, which seemed to be made of fragments of various colored gems, which were fused together and inlaid on top in a magical way using some method of melting black stone.

Viserys led the way, and Daenerys followed carefully behind him, weaving through the aisles between the stone pillars. The air was incredibly hot.

There is a shiny, reflective black stone lamp holder in the tomb. It looks like a decoration, but the lamp is empty inside.

Their footsteps echoed throughout the vast mausoleum, the only light coming from the flames of Viserys's magical organ and Daenerys's torch.

In this tomb filled with empty coffins, the eternal darkness is deep.

"Be careful, there are stairs leading down ahead." When Viserys walked to the spiral staircase leading down to the empty tomb, he reminded Daenerys to be careful, but suddenly found that Daenerys was not following him.

He quickly turned his head and found that Daenerys was staring at a long, twisted, strange obsidian object in the middle of the empty tomb.

"what happened?"

"This thing is strange." Daenerys stared at it strangely. The obsidian product was placed in the middle of the first floor of the tomb. It was twisted and strange. It was three feet tall and thin as a sword. Its spiral edge reflected the light of the torch. Viserys had no doubt that its edge was as sharp as a razor. He had seen it just now and thought it was a decoration or some kind of mechanism. Daenerys wondered how people would light this thing. "Like a candle. Is it an oil lamp? It's hollow inside, and you can put grease in it like a fish oil lamp?"

It should light up, Daenerys thought.

A strange light suddenly appeared in the mausoleum.

"Be careful!" Upon seeing this sudden change, Viserys quickly grew larger and slightly spread his wings to protect Daenerys.

However, no trap was triggered.

Viserys saw that the source of the light was the strange obsidian artifact.

Glass candles!

There was a polished reflective mirror under the black stone lamp base in the tomb, which reflected the strange flame light after the glass candle emitted light. The light was not very bright, but it was enough to illuminate the entire tomb with a dim light.

Viserys retracted his wings.

Daenerys was just getting over her shock. "What's going on? What is this?" She saw that the strange obsidian candle was emitting light. The color of the flame was very strange. There were three layers of flames. The inner layer was as white as new snow, the middle layer was as yellow as molten gold, and the outer layer was as red as flames. Now the entire first layer of the tomb was illuminated by an uncomfortable dim flame red light.

"This should be a glass candle." Viserys looked for the answer from his impression of this world. "It is a magic candle. Legend has it that it was made by wizards of the Old Free Fortress. Valyrian witchcraft is based on blood and fire. Using this glass candle, wizards of the Old Free Fortress can see through mountains, oceans, and deserts; sitting in front of this candle, they can enter other people's dreams to show illusions, or communicate with each other across half the world. Strange, if the legend is true, why was it placed in the family tomb as a light source? You lit it, Dany, how do you feel, do you feel uncomfortable, do you feel that some power is being lost from your body?"

"No, I'm fine. I just saw what it looked like and thought it should light up." Daenerys had an incredible feeling, "When I thought about it, it happened."

Daenerys looked at the candle. The process of lighting it was so bizarre that it felt strange and new to her.

Viserys flapped his wings at the candle, but the flame did not flicker.

"If it can really communicate across half the world, then the Ancient Freehold doesn't need ravens anymore?" Daenerys participated in the entire process of Viserys' attack on Dragonstone, and deeply felt how important information transmission is on the battlefield and in this world.

"Perhaps, but it requires certain conditions, such as the world's magical elements being active to a certain extent. But the fact that it was placed here means that its function has been ineffective for a long time, and perhaps people found that it was useless during that time except for lighting. I told you about that conjecture. The world's magic power circulates like the tides. When dragons and magic disappeared for a hundred years, the tides retreated to the lowest point. This tidal retreat process may last for hundreds or thousands of years, and now the magic tide is back. Like you, like me, like this candle that was once extinguished, and the so-called war between gods and gods." Viserys talked freely.

Daenerys took over his words: "So, we must be prepared to face the magical tide that may become stronger and stronger, and use the powerful force to choose our own destiny!" Viserys had talked to her about these words, and she already understood what Viserys was trying to do.

Viserys nodded in satisfaction, then asked her, "Is this glass candle what you feel?"

Daenerys shook her head: "No, what I feel is below. It is clearer here. I can feel its existence from the heat in the air, just like the dragon egg sent by the Red God priest. It attracts some kind of magical perception in my heart. You can understand, right, brother?"

"I know." Viserys replied, "But, Dany, no matter what it is when we go down, promise me not to touch it when you see it. I am still frightened by the threat brought by the Dragonbinder's Horn. I don't want this to happen to you." Daenerys nodded and agreed: "Yes."

The spiral staircase leading downwards was a little narrower, and Viserys continued to shrink until he turned into a half-dragon with wings and a body covered with dragon scales. Then he took Daenerys' hand and led them down.

The glass candles were burning now, and though the light was dim, the tomb no longer needed torches to illuminate it. Daenerys extinguished the torch and put it into the leather bag on Viserys's clothes, then she and he went down hand in hand.

The glass candle in the middle of the tomb seemed to be able to sense the movements of the living people in the tomb. As they walked towards the second-level tomb in the lower room, the pedestal on which the candle was located slowly sank. The light in the tomb did not even dim, and the glass candle slowly descended from the middle of the first floor like an automatic lamp.

Coming to the second floor below, the center of the tomb became a movable lamp holder. A thin black chain with a glass candle slowly descended from the ceiling, illuminating this floor even brighter.

"This is not an iron chain." Viserys touched the black chain that lowered the glass candle holder and found that it was not made of iron, but some strange material. It was very light. If it was on Earth, he would think it was plastic, but plastic obviously did not exist in this world.

The tombs on the second floor below are also full of empty coffins.

They continued down.

At the fourth level, covered coffins began to appear in the Targaryen family tomb. Sculptures on the tightly closed black stone coffins were engraved with the Targaryen's appearance when they were alive. The sculptures on the sarcophagus were made of black stone mixed with some unknown material. The sculptures were dark gray in color, and the faces were lifelike, especially the eyes, which had a faint purple light under the light, presenting a serene look. The sculptures were riding on a black stone sculpture of a fire-breathing dragon.

"Aerion Targaryen - Son of Daemion, Lord of Dragonstone"

This was the first Targaryen they had seen buried here. Viserys discovered that the stone statue of Aerion riding a dragon had a carefully polished and shaped black stone longsword inlaid with gemstones hanging from its waist. It seemed that the burial objects of the Targaryen ancestors were not very luxurious. They did not casually place a Valyrian steel sword on the statue, but only used gemstones, which were not scarce for them, and melted black stone into a sword shape.

I don't know if there are any Valyrian steel products in the coffin, but the outside of the tomb is covered with chains and mechanisms, so it is obvious that no one will easily open the sarcophagus and disturb the person sleeping inside.

The coffin next to him is of a lady whose statue is not riding a dragon.

"Valyanna Targaryen - Aerion's wife"

"Oh my God, these are Aegon the Conqueror's parents!" Aegon the Conqueror's parents, Aerion Targaryen and Valerian Velaryon (her tomb would be engraved with her husband's surname after her death), appeared in the well-known story of the Conqueror, and Daenerys recognized these two names.

This Aerion Targaryen also had an illegitimate son named Orys Baratheon, the founder of House Baratheon and the first Duke of Storm's End after Aegon's conquest.

There are other Targaryens on this floor.

"Damien Targaryen - Lord of Dragonstone, third son of Aerys Targaryen, brother of Baelorne"

Further down, the fifth layer of coffins was filled with the deceased.

Erik, Baelon, Aerys, Maegon, the earliest lords of Dragonstone and their wives, as well as individual heirs who did not inherit the lordship, are all on this floor.

Near the entrance to the sixth level of the crypt, there is another Aegon Targaryen, whose name ends with "Son of Gaimon", and his wife next to him is "Elena Targaryen".

"Is it still down there?" Even at this point, Daenerys sensed that what was still down there was still there, and Viserys couldn't help but ask.

Viserys had anticipated this when he entered the crypt, but when he really had to go down, he couldn't help but have some strange thoughts.

Because according to this order, the person sleeping in the lower tomb is very famous in the Targaryen family, Daenerys Targaryen the Dreamwalker. In the legend of the Targaryen family, it was Daenerys who dreamed of the Doomsday catastrophe, which made her father Aenar move his family to Dragonstone 12 years before the destruction of Valyria.

Daenerys nodded. "Further down, I'm sure."

"Good." Viserys continued to lead the way, towards the descending stairs.

When they arrived at this floor, they soon discovered that the decoration and environment of this floor were different from those of the floors above. The glass candles stopped at the ceiling of this floor and no longer descended, and the space on this floor was also slightly smaller.

The tomb chamber was decorated to look like a bedroom, with a huge bed in the middle surrounded by four pillars. In the middle of the bed was a sculpture of a lady lying down gracefully and a calm, solemn and resolute man sitting next to the lady with a sword on his knees. Next to the sculpture of the man was a slave owner's whip.

The names on the coffins next to the sculpture are "Gaimon Targaryen - Glorious Gaimon, Son of Aenar" and "Dayneth Targaryen - Dreamwalker, Gaimon's Wife".

At this point, Viserys turned to look at Daenerys, who looked odd, and asked, "Is this the place?"

Daenerys shook her head. ".Still down there."

But there was no way to go down further in this tomb room.
