Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Chapter 182 Neither Natural nor Magical

The dragon's mouth is like the hands of other vertebrates. It mainly depends on the mobility of the dragon's skull. The mobility of the dragon's skull depends on two channels: the "lateral channel" of the skull formed by the quadrate bone-zygomatic bone-quadratomal bone-maxillary bone, and the "palatal passage" formed by the quadrate bone-pterygoid bone-mandibular bone-vomer bone on the palatal surface.

Daenerys flipped through the cold and rigorous text records recorded in the book "Legendary Creatures: Dragons". These words describe the structure of the dragon, but they made Daenerys feel overflowing malice.

They studied these things, seemingly recording the structure of the dragon's skull. But in the next section, the pen turned and began to point out that there are two fatal weaknesses in the dragon's head. One is the gap between the bone pieces at the back of the skull. Although there are also dragon scales and skulls there, in order to meet the flexibility of the dragon's mouth, there is a flexible intersection similar to the bone pieces. Below the intersection is the dragon brain that controls the dragon's actions. Hitting there with a blunt object can make the dragon lose balance and unable to fly, and if it can penetrate there and directly damage the dragon's brain, it can directly cause death. The death of Slycos verified this.

The dragon's eyes are theoretically the most vulnerable position. Piercing the eyes can penetrate into the dragon's brain. The death of Mogul verified this.

There is also a quadrate bone branch extending dorsally and bifurcated at the rear edge of the dragon's wing bone, where its lower wing is connected.

Daenerys couldn't bear to read any more, and felt endless anger in her chest.

Nightfire seemed to have noticed her anger, and looked coldly at the large book in Daenerys's hand, and a disturbing low roar came out of his throat, as if as long as Daenerys gave an order, it would spit out dragon flames without hesitation and burn the book to ashes.

Viserys turned his head and said, "Didn't we agree to only read the part about hatching and raising dragons?"

Daenerys gritted her teeth and said, "I was a little fascinated by the Oldtown Citadel before, but now I really want to burn it to ashes!"

Viserys had already flipped through it. He mainly read the book's discussion on the origin of dragons. Unfortunately, the book was vague about the origin of dragons, but the parts about hatching, raising and riding dragons quoted a lot from Brother Bath's "Dragon, Dragonworm and Long Winged Dragon: The Unnatural Evolution of the Dragon Clan". This shows that Brother Bath's book has an extraordinary status in the Citadel's works on dragon research, and it is not as the Citadel claimed to the outside world that "Unnatural History" is nonsense.

Viserys was not very angry, because he had seen only a few memories from the dragon binder. Valyria has researchers who specialize in studying dragons. Those researchers are usually indifferent to dragons, and dragons are often unwilling to approach them.

This shows that the researchers in Valyria are not studying things like "Postpartum Care of Dragons", but something more disturbing. Just from what Viserys knows from the outside world, we can see that Valyria has used blood magic to crossbreed different races, including humans.

Viserys actually has a guess. The so-called "demon" that is now roaming in the ruins of Valyria may be a hybrid species of blood magic of some kind of Freehold, and the sea monsters that live in the Smoky Sea today may be the food source of the dragons in the Freehold dragon farm. Otherwise, if Valyria really relies on cattle and sheep to feed the dragons, how many cattle and sheep should be raised to feed the dragons?

So the food source for dragon farming must be some larger species, and Viserys guessed it was a sea monster.

The sea monsters in this world are as real as dragons. When Viserys and Euron met, they saw a sea monster that was presumed to be young.

Valeria's research on dragons will only be more bloody and cruel.

Human research on aliens has never been a strange thing, but dragons happen to be related to the Targaryen family.

The position determines the attitude. Viserys must speak for the dragons and avenge the dragons of Targaryen who were hurt by the conspiracy.

But think about it from another angle. If the name of this book is "Aliens: White Walkers", which explains the structure and weaknesses of White Walkers in detail, what attitude should Viserys have towards the Citadel? Does he need to speak out for the White Walkers being studied?

The scientific research of the Citadel has crossed the line, which is the line of the Targaryen family. The position determines that Viserys must deal with them seriously.

There is no doubt that Viserys will rectify the style of study in the Citadel and sentence all members of the secret society to death.

Then what should be done? Destroy the Citadel completely? Forbid the Citadel to study dragons? Or burn all books related to dragons like Saint Baelor?

Viserys imagined a scene. In the future, people who study dragons in Westeros will be hunted like witches during the witch hunt, and then flee to Essos to continue their research and form a new secret society.

Viserys knew. In any case, the purge of the Citadel must be carried out, and the research on dragons must be banned. In this era, ruling ultimately depends on holiness and force. Reason and kindness can be slowly and carefully explained when one is invincible and not threatened.

But if the divinity of the dragon is pulled down from the altar, then Viserys will have to guard against too many things after unifying the whole country.

"Dany, calm down, don't continue reading, it will only make you angry." Viserys came over and closed her book, "I promise you that they will get the most severe punishment. After I take Oldtown, I will carry out a major purge of the Citadel. All those who are related to the secret society will be completely annihilated under the dragon's flames, and their bones will be crushed to ashes."

"It's a pity that it takes at least three to five years for a giant dragon to become combat effective, and it takes thirty to fifty years to reach adulthood. Nightfire has grown up pretty fast. But it is still far from being able to go to the battlefield to help you. If the war A bigger war is imminent. Brother, should I continue to hatch these baby dragons? They will need our protection for at least three to five years after they are born, and we have to guard against the covetous people of the so-called 'Targaryen bloodline'. , I really don’t want the young dragons I hatched to be taken over by those ‘bloodlines’ and become a threat to our heirs in the future. I thought back on the Dance of the Blood Dragons today, and compared with these cold records, I found that too many dragons are sometimes not a good thing. "

"The Targaryens during the Dance of the Dragons were all idiots and idiots with no enterprising spirit and only thought about the Seven Kingdoms. The slave owners of the Valyrian Free Fortress all knew that external expansion was the only way to relieve internal pressure. There is a good solution, and the Citadel and the Hightower family are playing a role in it. After all, the Targaryens during the Dance of the Dragons were just a bunch of idiots with dragons. Dany, you can continue to hatch dragons. I have one. Thoughts. I'm thinking that maybe there's a way to make these hatchlings become followers of the Elder Dragon God. I need to try and make them our 'Fremy and Melisandre', like that. Come, even if they want to assist Stannis in the future, they will always be believers of the ancient dragon god."

"Really?"

"I want to try."

"How to do it?"

"Just like raising nightfires, I will raise them myself, and I will try to establish an attachment relationship with them. According to this book, the Valyrian and Targaryen ancestors never really tamed the dragons, just The mysterious connection in the bloodline allows them to drive the dragon. The Valyrians use bloodline magic, whips and horns to control the dragon. The Targaryen control of the dragon is also due to the bloodline connection, but the Nightfire seems to be different from them. Likewise, Yehuo obeys me and you. It’s not about recognition, it’s about obedience. I will try to turn this obedience into faith and establish worship. There must be a reason why the gods in this world need believers. Verify my conjecture. Since dragons are said to be as smart as humans, why can’t there be dragons among my followers?”

Viserys also had another consideration. When these dragons became his followers, he might be able to eliminate the possibility of these dragons being controlled by green seers or other mysterious beings through special magic.

After all, the Children of the Forest would be defeated even by the Andals who believed in the wood god.

According to Marwin, the spread of the teachings of the Seven Gods is beneficial to the school city, because the school city wants to build a world dominated by mortals, and it needs mortals to use a human faith to resist the gods and mysterious powers they are hostile to, and give mortals Spiritual sustenance and courage to confront those mysterious things.

This gave Viserys a hint. That is, even if there is no god in the Seven Gods Sect, the belief in the Seven Gods seems to give their believers a certain ability to resist the influence of other gods.

This illustrates the possibility that humans in this world themselves possess some kind of power, because the source of power for the Seven Gods' faith to resist the influence of other gods can only be humans themselves, not gods.

Daenerys looked at her brother and nodded seriously: "Let me help you. The dragon egg that was taken out of Inar's tomb is almost hatching. I have a hunch that if I sing again, it will break. "Escape from the shell." Because of the appearance of little Aegon, Daenerys temporarily stopped trying to hatch the dragon egg and instead sang to another dragon egg given by Illyrio.

This is the position. Viserys and Daenerys were horrified as the priests of R'hllor were manipulated like puppets by the Red God. But when they want dragons to be their puppets and tools, they don't see anything wrong with that.

"Dracarys!"

In the dream, Daenerys once again "sings" to the dragon's magic that gradually changes from dead to active.

The flames she breathed out in her dream have activated the dragon's magic power in the dragon egg to a certain extent. It can even blink in the magic space of the dream, but its eyes still lack a trace of life.

But Daenerys could feel that it would come alive if she sang just one more time.

She looked at the dragon's magic power standing silently in front of her, staring into its eyes, looking at the dragon eyes like broken gold lakes, as if to inject soul into those lifeless eyes.

How many steps does it take to infuse a soulless dragon egg with dragon-shaped magic?

The answer is three steps. The first step is to see it in the dream, the second step is to "sing" to it and call it with the soul flame in the dream, and the third step is to resonate the magic power of the singing fire with the magic power of its activation and give it life.

As Daenerys continued to sing to it in flames, the dragon-shaped magic in the dragon egg became more and more active, until it reached a certain critical point, and the dragon-shaped magic faintly responded to the flames that Daenerys breathed out. The low moaning sound.

thump.

Daenerys vaguely heard its first heartbeat.

Thump, thump.

Then came the second and third sounds.

A slow and low heartbeat sounded, gradually echoing the magical rhythm of Daenerys breathing fire—or the magical song.

It was not a sound heard by the ears, but some kind of strange feeling that was indescribable. At a certain moment, Daenerys stopped singing the magical power of spitting fire, and she felt that the power in her body was echoing the magical heartbeat of the dragon.

Boom boom.

Daenerys heard its heartbeat become stronger and stronger, and it became stronger and stronger as the power in her body surged.

Finally, the dragon's golden eyes suddenly closed, and when they opened again, they had the spirit of a living creature.

It let out a loud roar in the dream space connected by Daenerys and Viserys, and then spread its wings and flew high. As it flapped its wings, its body magic burst out, igniting silver-white flames. In just a moment, it turned into a magical dragon covered with silver-white flames.

As the silver-white flames burned, the dragon became smaller and smaller.

Until finally, it turned into a dragon with the posture of a young dragon only the size of a raven.

Daenerys realized that this was a new soul formed by the aggregation of its huge magic.

The dragon-shaped magic in this fossil dragon egg was given life and soul by her power, and it was alive.

When Daenerys woke up from her dream.

She saw the shell of the dragon egg she had held before she fell asleep gradually break, cracks appeared, and fragments fell off.

A baby dragon spread its wings in the broken dragon egg.

Its tiny scales were red-gold, and its horns, wing bones, and crest were silver-white. Just like the dragon-shaped magic she saw in her dream.
