Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

There was a small earthquake in Longshan in the morning.

The earthquake was not strong, and many people could not even feel it if they were not standing at the time.

Viserys had to transform into a dragon and hover high in the sky above Dragon Mountain to show that it was his 'dragon' that was causing the movement again.

He flew so high that people in the towns and castles below the mountain could only see a huge shadow circling high in the sky. After a while, he flew deep into Longshan and disappeared.

This is the first appearance of Dragon King Viserys in more than half a month. Even though the dragon appears to be very far away from them, estimating body size from distance is a method that many people know. At such a high altitude of Longshan Mountain, it can still be as big as the top of a huge mountain. The estimated enormity shocked many people who saw the giant dragon for the first time.

Including Barristan, the Onion Knight, Illyrio in the castle, and some onlookers in the town who had just arrived at the castle, only now did they know that the rumors were true.

Although they only caught a brief glimpse of the shadow, they were still shocked.

After the dragon disappeared again in Longshan, many people looked at the roof of the Shigu Tower.

As the owner of the castle, Dragon King Viserys is very mysterious in the castle. Except for important occasions, he rarely goes out of the second and third floors of the main castle. The main hall on the second floor and the picture table hall on the third floor of the castle are tightly defended. Only his important ministers and the regent and princess Only Daenerys can meet him, ordinary people can't see him at all in the past.

Today is the day when Illyrio and the financial officers assigned to him by Viserys leave Dragonstone for the Iron Treasury. After seeing the scene in the morning, his mind was extremely complicated. With such complicated emotions, he went upstairs to the main hall of the main castle to report to the captain of the guard for an audience.

It was the Princess Regent who received him.

Princess Daenerys, the regent appointed by the king, was wearing a smart robe and was sitting in the main seat of the Picture Table Hall waiting for him.

After staying in the castle for a few days, Illyrio knew that Viserys basically ignored some complicated political affairs, or acted as the city lord, Earl Gunther, to help him handle it. If that didn't work, he would ask Daenerys to help him receive it. There were only some things that were unavoidable. He will only appear when you are avoiding situations. Illyrio came to say goodbye: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, I will set off for the Iron Treasury according to your Majesty's order. I wonder if your Majesty has any other instructions?"

Daenerys raised her head, looked at the finance minister who seemed to be deeply trusted by His Majesty and was entrusted with important tasks by Viserys, and said seriously: "Actually, you can wait a little longer. My brother wanted to send it to you personally." Siris had told her that no matter what the Fat Governor had planned, they could care less until he committed an actual act of betrayal. Viserys called this, employing people without suspicion, regardless of deeds, he could try to accept the "loyalty" conveyed to him by the fat governor.

While speaking, a roar came from the inner room. The little dragon flew in front of Daenerys and landed on the table. Just like it did next to Viserys before, it squatted on the table like a sculpture. Daenerys adds majesty.

"Every time I see it, I am amazed. Your Highness, Princess," Illyrio looked deeply at the little dragon, which seemed to be bigger than the last time he saw it. "It is said that each dragon can only have one driver." Dragon, and it is so close to His Majesty and His Highness.”

Daenerys smiled slightly and said: "The dragon disappeared from the world for nearly a hundred years. There are rumors that are true and false. The truth of many things can only be known by seeing it with one's own eyes. Isn't it?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Illyrio saluted her respectfully, "Then please help me tell His Majesty that his Minister of Finance will live up to his trust and raise funds for Your Majesty to protect the peace of the Seven Kingdoms."

Daenerys nodded to him: "We are waiting for your good news on Dragonstone, Illyrio, my brother's chancellor."

When Illyrio's team walked out of the castle gate, Daenerys watched from the main castle and saw Viserys, who must have been rushing back from the Dragon Mountain Secret Passage, to catch up and say goodbye.

When her brother came back, she curiously asked him what he said when he said goodbye.

Viserys only replied: "What else can it be? Give him a promise. These are the only methods I can use. If even this can't make him loyal and can't contain his ambition, then I will have less dealings with such people in the future. It's weird." tired."

Daenerys also didn't like talking about these intrigues with her brother, so she quickly changed the subject: "What happened to Longshan's vibration in the morning? Did you discover something else?"

"I finally explored both ends of the large lava cave in the mountain today." As he spoke, Viserys came to the desk, took out a piece of paper that looked like graffiti from the middle of a book, and took out his pen and ink I started to graffiti, "It confirmed my guess that this cave is a huge 'Y' shape, not naturally formed. At least not the entrance. I found traces of artificially blocking the exit on the side of the Y-shaped exit, which was very generous." , I will take you over to take a look later. The hole was inserted into the mountain with part of the spine of the skeleton of a huge dragon that was huge in size during its lifetime. The mouth was sealed with rocks and lava. The dragon's bones and the mountain were integrated and reinforced. I dug out part of the opening, and out of the seal was a large lava cave with flowing magma in Longshan. The cave has an exit, and logically there should be a similar exit on the west side of the mountain, but maybe. It’s sealed too tightly and I can’t find any gaps.”

Just listening to it, Daenerys was shocked: "Isn't such a big cave formed naturally in the mountains?"

"Have you ever thought about it, Dany, how dragons in the Valyrian period could easily build nests in volcanoes when they were hundreds of meters high?" Viserys expressed his guess, "Such a huge cave looks like a certain An unimaginably large worm came out of it. But I looked carefully and saw that the edges of the cave were very irregular, so I guessed that the dragon's habit of building its own nest was to choose a huge cave and then spit out the dragon. The flames melted the rocks and continued to dig into the mountain until they dug a nest inside the volcano that could accommodate their huge bodies. This habit of the giant dragons may be controlled. This extremely huge hole in the mountain should be the result of the efforts of more than one dragon. "

Daenerys felt outrageous when she heard that. Then she looked at the rough internal structure of the cave drawn by her brother, and she was even more surprised: "Is this how dragons build their nests, digging volcanic caves?"

"It's strange, isn't it? How come a dragon, a magical creature that flies in the sky, lives in a volcanic cave? It doesn't build nests like birds to hide from the wind and rain, but digs holes and builds burrows like snakes, crocodiles, and carp?" Viserys continued his speculation, "But there are actually side records to support it. During the Targaryen period, Maegor once built a dragon lair in King's Landing, and built a huge lair-like building on the top of Rhaenys Hills, where he kept animals in captivity. Giant dragon. It is said that the gate of the dragon cave can allow thirty knights to enter side by side. But there is a saying that the closed dragon cave restricts the growth of the dragon inside. As for why this is the case, I guess it is because the dragon is in the volcano. They build nests because of the environment, not because they like to live in caves."

The construction of dragon caves during the Maegor period shows that dragons do indeed live in caves according to people's observations and records, but they somehow did not think clearly that dragons do not like to live in caves, but prefer to live in caves that are exposed to volcanic heat. The further inward the volcano gets, the hotter it becomes, and there is even magma flowing inside several lava caves that Viserys has found that are suspected to have been dragon lairs.

Observing only the little dragon hatched by Daenerys, after arriving at Dragonstone, its size and appetite increased every day. Although it doesn't often enter the volcano, there is no doubt that it likes the environment here.

Legend has it that there is a kind of fire dragon insect, also known as dragon insect, living deep in the Fourteenth Fire Peak. It is a creature similar in shape to a dragon. Some people say that they are distant relatives of the dragon because they can also breathe fire. Fire dragon worms cannot soar in the sky and can only burrow in rocky soil.

Now Viserys has confirmed that dragons, at least those from Valyria, are magical creatures with the habit of dwelling in volcanic caves. This made him think a lot.

Because Viserys left King's Landing when he was eight years old, he knew very little about Targaryen's secret literature about dragons, and even Daenerys knew little about the habits of dragons, so when she first heard that dragons dug volcanic caves to build their nests, I had a strange feeling for no reason. I looked at the thin claws and long snout of the little dragon, trying to imagine how it dug holes in the mountains: "."

Then she looked at Viserys. Her brother had entered the Dragon Mountain through the secret passage whenever he had free time. He spent much more time in the cave than outside. Daenerys became worried that her brother would not be able to do so in the future. Would you also live in a volcanic cave?

Seeing the suspicious look Daenerys looked at him, Viserys knew what she was thinking was wrong: "What's your look like? You don't think your brother likes to live in volcanic caves like ordinary dragons, do you?"

"." Daenerys was speechless.

"." Viserys was speechless for a moment.

The sudden awkward silence interrupted Viserys's thoughts, and the end result was another type of harmonious exchange about dragons and life in their table hall.

To be honest, at first, Viserys was a little concerned about his close relationship with Daenerys, but now, he feels that both he and Daenerys are inhuman magical creatures.

At least he had convinced himself.

Speaking of which, what Viserys has been doing during this period of time is completely different from that of the King of Westeros. During this period, he has been exploring the huge lava cave in the secret tunnel of the Dragonstone volcano and exploring under the castle. In addition to the dragon eggs previously harvested through Daenerys's sensory ability, the dragon bones in Ynar's tomb and the dragon bones found embedded in the rocks at the exit today all contain dragon souls. He can take Daenerys to try to absorb them from time to time.

But Viserys's fire elemental magic power had actually reached a certain bottleneck. After absorbing the dragon soul of another dragon egg, he could feel that the fire elemental magic power of another world had reached a limit in him. Now the collected dragon souls have turned into some kind of accumulated magic power that he doesn't know how to use. This thing will not affect his use of otherworldly magic power to construct the magic organs of otherworldly magical creatures and use otherworldly fire magic. But his growth seems to have stopped here, and he has not changed his form and turned into the so-called 'real dragon'.

Viserys speculated that perhaps in the future he would need another method of absorbing magic brought by the Dragonbinder's Horn in order to transform, but he did not understand the principle of the Dragonbender's magic that was like a magic curse at all.

To put it another way, Viserys has actually been relying on magic from another world since he came to this world. He knows nothing about the nature of magic in this world and how to use magic.

He hasn't even really figured out why he hasn't obtained a single dragon soul that is not a fire element. He still has some ideas about the ice element dragon soul. He probably guesses that it is related to the White Walkers in the north and the legendary ice dragon. But he had no idea where the thunder element magic power came from.

Viserys gradually felt the need to gain magical knowledge about the world.

So he has been obsessed with archaeology in the caves recently, trying to infer the habits of dragons in this world from the traces of dragon activities in the caves of Dragonstone.

Afterwards.

Daenerys suddenly said: "I really hope the naming day comes soon. If we have offspring, the country will be more stable."

"...soon." Viserys was a little unprepared for this topic, "Uh, have you read any books recently? Where did this idea come from?" It can't be because he is always responsible and didn't sow the seeds. Considering that the two of them are already magical creatures, Viserys is very worried...

Daenerys blushed slightly, and said, "The Book of the Four Kings. I found someone's copy in the bedroom bookcase, and there are only a few pages of fragments. It says that if the king has an heir, the country will be more stable. King Baelor has no heir, so the throne fell into the hands of King Yong, and the country suffered. Is it wrong in the book?"

"Well... there is indeed such a saying. But..."

"But?"

"I am worried about our current situation and those so-called gods." He said it directly. "And this copy of the Book of the Four Kings is obviously problematic. After Baelor's death, Viserys II Targaryen took over, and then King Yong, but Viserys II's reign was too short. Some say it was a few days, and some say he died in half a year."

"I didn't expect that much." Daenerys was a little disappointed.

Speaking of which, Daenerys's next name day is their wedding date. The seventh week of the new year.

Viserys had discussed this matter with Septon Barr, who did not raise any objections, but only suggested that the wedding date be announced two months in advance, so it has not been publicized yet.

Viserys found that with the big event of marriage, coupled with the fact that the environment she was in suddenly became stable and her eyes were on governing the country, Daenerys inadvertently began to consider issues from a political perspective of a queen.

And all this came down to him.

When thinking about this, Viserys suddenly felt that he owed her something, and he knew very well that this meant that his feelings for Daenerys were deeper than he thought.

They stayed together for a while. Viserys couldn't help but discuss magic with Daenerys again: "Dany, I've been thinking that your magic power is actually far beyond that of ordinary people. I'm afraid that most of the so-called wizards in this world are not as powerful as you, but they don't know how to use it. We have different talents inherited from our bloodlines, and my experience can't be directly copied to you. Do you have any ideas?"

"I don't know. My magic power is not in my body except in dreams. I can't feel it in my body at ordinary times." Daenerys was also very distressed, "Is it because my dragon king blood is not pure enough and the power is too weak?" Daenerys didn't know. She probably has the purest dragon king blood in the world.

King's Landing.

Grand Maester Pycelle was drowsy in the Crow's Nest, and his head was lowered from time to time.

Suddenly, a huge black raven flew in from the window. Compared with other ravens, its body was very strong.

When the Grand Maester's clerk tried to take the letter it brought, the raven dodged the clerk's hand. It flew around in the crow's nest, making human-like sounds from its mouth.

"Grand Secretary. Grand Secretary."

The official was surprised. This was a strange raven that could only mimic human speech.

When Pycelle heard the voice, he woke up with a drowsy head and asked, "Who? Who is calling me?"

"Grand Secretary. Grand Secretary." It was still flying and calling.

Pycelle suddenly woke up. He looked at the raven with bright eyes: "Yes." He was old, but he jumped up from his seat excitedly. He quickly showed the style of a bachelor, "You, you, all of you leave. No one is allowed to enter the Crow's Nest without my permission!"

The busy officials and maids were surprised, but they did not dare to disobey. They left the Crow's Nest one by one.

"Grand Secretary. Grand Secretary." The raven was still calling.

Pycelle took out a strange piccolo from his sleeve and blew it. The raven seemed to recognize the sound and finally landed next to the Grand Secretary.

Pycelle took the letter from the letter box on it.

The letter was short, and it said: "Dragons, dragonworms, and long-winged dragons: the unnatural evolution of dragons, written by Brother Bass. The book is full of falsehoods and cannot be trusted."

Pysir knew who this Brother Bass was.

Bass was a figure in the "Centennial King" period, the son of a blacksmith, and was given to the church at a very young age. He was smart and was sent to the Red Keep Library to manage the king's scrolls and books. The "Centennial King" Jaehaerys I, who loved reading, met Brother Bass, and Bass became a close friend of the king. When the Centennial King inherited the throne, Bass was promoted to the King's Hand, and his term lasted for forty years.

Dr. Guldan described him as "the wisest King's Hand", and Bass's opponents claimed that he studied magic.

As for the book "Dragons, Dragonworms, and Winged Dragons: The Unnatural Evolution of the Dragon Race", Grand Maester Pythil had heard of it. It was rumored that this was a book with novel views but full of fallacies. It was rumored that the book recorded knowledge about dragons. Probably 56 years after the conquest, the Citadel refuted Bass's work as nonsense and denied it.

In the Citadel, this book is referred to as "Unnatural History".

In the Citadel, all the scholars with a little common sense knew that after the "blessed" Baelor ascended the throne, all the works of Brother Bass were ordered to be burned. Only a few fragments of "Unnatural History" survived the book burning catastrophe. Even if there is a single copy left, it may have been lost in the process of crossing the ocean.

However, at this moment, when Pyxil wrote to the cardinal of the Citadel to inform him of the dragons on Dragonstone and to inquire about the knowledge about dragons, the cardinal replied with the name of such a book.

Pyxil had a headache. Where could he find this lost book?

However, just when he had a headache, he saw the raven pecking at the letter box on his feet with its long beak.

Grand Scholar Pyxil picked up the raven again and searched the letter box. On the inner wall of the letter box, he found a thin piece of silk made of something.

The Grand Scholar found a small piece of wood and scraped out the silk.

This should be the remaining page of a book.

The first line on the torn page reads: ".The mouth of the dragon spreads death. Never fight against the dragon's mouth."

".Dragons have no gender, neither male nor female, constantly changing, swaying like flames. The dragon's weakness is the eyes. It is not in the lower abdomen as some ancient stories say. The scales on the dragon's lower abdomen are as thick as those on the back and sides of the body. The dragon's throat is where the dragon's flames accumulate. Although there are no thick dragon scales, the skin and flesh of the dragon's throat are extremely tough. Trying to cut the dragon's throat is a crazy act. Doing so is no different from using a spear to put out a fire."

"Dragons, Wyrms, and Wyverns: Their Unnatural History" is a very valuable book in the world of ice and fire. The book records the knowledge about dragons in detail.

The author of this book is Brother Bath. When King Jaehaerys I died on his sickbed in 103AC, Alicent Hightower was reading this book to him by his bed.
