Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

The layout of the Yubi Bottle Hotel is different from other places.

This hotel is adjacent to the famous academic city of Old Town and is located on a small island in the Mead River. It has never closed for six hundred years. The hotel as a whole is a tall wooden house leaning towards the south, with a terrace with a torch, which is two points more elegant and tidy than other hotels.

It attracts young apprentices and teaching bachelors studying in the Citadel. The hard cider here was famous, waitresses served guests, and young apprentices often drank and talked here.

When Laresa arrived, his friends were already discussing the biggest news in Old Town in the past two days.

"Sea monster!" Morand already had two large glasses of strong cider empty in front of him, and his face glowed with a drunken red light as he spoke. "The sea monster is as big as two ships, and the iceberg that froze it alone is as big as two ships." Two pier berths!”

"I can't wait to see even a glimpse of a dragon," Rooney said. "I hope His Majesty Viserys rides on a dragon."

"I didn't expect that after more than a hundred years, a dragon would appear in the world again, and it would have three heads." Assistant Bachelor Aman scratched his head endlessly. This stubborn assistant bachelor's world view was being impacted, and he still hasn't recovered after two days. "Oh my God, I have refuted the three-headed dragon to my apprentices more than once. It is a rumor. A dragon cannot have three heads. The last dragon died in the reign of Aegon III."

"A dragon has more than three heads," Laresa naturally sat at the wine table and joined in the conversation. "It is said that each head breathes differently. Is this some kind of mythical story?" Laresa asked shouted to the waitress who looked over to him. "Roxi, a glass of cider!"

Laresa has dark skin, a pointed chin, a pointed nose, a pointed forehead, short black curly hair and agate-colored eyes. He was born handsome, with a slender figure and handsome appearance. He was known as the "Sphynx" and was deeply loved by the waitresses.

When Rosie served him the wine, she took the opportunity to touch Laresa's arm with her breasts that were beginning to take shape. Luo Xi was quite generous, no matter what others thought, she just smiled at him ambiguously.

"What did you just say?" Laresa smiled back at Rosie, then turned to look at the proud and generous friend who was whistling to him and continued talking. When Rosie was fifteen years old, her bud had just begun to bloom, and her mother Emma offered her a gold dragon for her first night. Laresa's former friend Pate tried his best to buy Rosie's first night, but unexpectedly one night he slipped and fell on the street and hit his head and died - it is said that Pate was holding the money he had saved so hard. A golden dragon plans to go to the Quill Wine Bottle.

Pate was not very bright and was not very gregarious, but Laresa still mourned Pate's tragedy.

To be honest, Laresa felt that Pat's death was strange. The time of Pat's death happened to be shortly after Dr. Wargrave, whom he served, had just been elected as the warden of the city. Although Wargrave was old, Maester Gorman replaced him. In charge of the Black Iron Mask. But Laresa began to think that Pate might be involved in some conspiracy.

However, Pate's death was quickly covered up by the news that King Viserys had brought Dornish troops into the South. No one was surprised by Pate's death, and the matter was dismissed. Laresa was just curious, but she also knew what she shouldn't delve into. So in the end, just like everyone else, they just thought that Pat died normally. Rosie, who just saw that Pat was thinking about him, did not mourn for him for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh at Pat's fate.

Of course, Laresa had no way of knowing that the apprentice Pate had actually been dead for a while. The reason why Pate did not "suddenly die" in their eyes until King Viserys led his troops south was because a secret group wanted to abide by the rules. Promise, avoid King Viserys.

Back to the present.

Today in Oldtown, both men, women and children, nobles and commoners are discussing dragons and sea monsters.

This is all because the Redwyne fleet, under the orders of King Viserys, dragged a huge iceberg containing the frozen body of a sea monster to the port of Oldtown.

Redwin's fleet entered the dock to rest, but the two rowing boats towing the iceberg were anchored in the most conspicuous place in the port.

The iceberg contained the corpse of a huge sea monster, and it was placed at the port of Old Town. Lord Layton's son Gunthor and Redwin's knights led troops to separate an area to guard it, waiting for the king to arrive in Old Town. Disposal.

But such a huge iceberg and such a big sea monster corpse were placed there, even though there were knights and armored soldiers on duty to guard it, and even fences were erected to separate the crowd.

However, the dock still inevitably attracts people from the city to watch there every day. The streets are empty, making the already busy and congested port even more crowded, with people rubbing shoulders and jamming to the limit.

Oldtown is located at the southernmost tip of Westeros. Even snow is rarely seen. Icebergs alone are rare enough, not to mention sea monsters?

In the past two days, no matter which time passed, the area near the sea monster iceberg at the port terminal was full of people. People talked excitedly to each other and discussed the sea monster iceberg, which was gradually melting and braving the cold air. There was a huge sea monster corpse inside. Monsters and dragons.

As the news from unknown channels gradually spread, people began to know that the source of the iceberg was created by the breath of His Majesty King Viserys's three dragons, and that the sea monster was a trophy that His Majesty the King personally captured on the battlefield while riding a dragon.

According to the news that has not been confirmed by the Redwyne Fleet, the false king Euron Greyjoy of the Iron Islands led the Reaver Fleet to attack the Shield Islands, and then took the fleet and sea monsters to try to ambush the Redwyne Fleet, which was ordered by the king to rescue the Shield Islands. But their ambush plan was discovered by His Majesty the King. King Viserys personally rode a dragon to the battlefield, led the Redwyne Fleet to defeat the Ironmen Reavers, personally killed the false king's sea monster, and the false king Euron was buried under the dragon's flame.

But His Majesty the King received news that the Ironmen's Reaver Fleet was large in number and had 500 ships. The false king Euron only brought 100 ships to ambush, and more than 400 ships were very likely to attack Oldtown and the Arbor.

The king has ordered martial law on the Arbor and is leading his troops to Oldtown.

According to recent news from the Arbor, the Ironmen did invade, and once seized the Stone Crab Reef, Pig Island, and Mermaid Palace in the west of the Arbor, and even began to encroach on the Horseshoe Rock and Wild Seed Bay in the east. But the king seemed to have anticipated it, and had the Arbor port blocked and the Ironmen invaders driven out. The specific situation of the Arbor is still unknown, but it is probably heard that there are not many ships attacking the Arbor, so it is speculated that there are still many Ironmen raiders hiding, who may attack Oldtown or invade the Arbor again at any time.

But in fact, no one among the civilians cares about or worries about these news about the Ironmen. Everyone is discussing the news that King Viserys personally led his troops south to Oldtown to help defend against the Ironmen raiders.

Regardless of whether the raiders exist or not? Where are they? The news that a king with a dragon will come to Oldtown has excited the people of the city.

And with the appearance of the sea monster iceberg in the port, all kinds of rumors about King Viserys have now spread throughout the streets and alleys of Oldtown.

These rumors had already existed, but before the appearance of the sea monster iceberg, they were only spread by word of mouth in the port, trade routes, taverns and mercenaries, and they were very uncertain when they were mentioned. They were not as popular as they have been in the past two days, and almost everyone can talk about them.

The chicken soup stories that Viserys had deliberately spread, and the various actions and legends of Dragonstone Island had long been ambushed in Oldtown. With the appearance of the sea monster, these stories that had already been spread were more catchy and popular among the docks and merchants than vulgar songs. In just two days, they swept through the richest city in Westeros, second only to King's Landing in population, like a virus.

In order to go to the port to see the sea monster iceberg, the surging crowd even caused two serious stampedes, resulting in the death and serious injuries of onlookers. Despite such a tragic incident, countless people still flocked to the port dock from all corners of the city to visit things that many people have never seen in their lives.

This has even seriously affected the normal operation of the Oldtown port, but without the king's order, no one dared to move the iceberg containing the sea monster's corpse to another place or give it to someone, whether it was the Redwyne fleet that acted on orders or the Hightower family as the local management. They could only wait for King Viserys's army to arrive in Oldtown along the Rose Road by land.

As the hot spots of icebergs and sea monster corpses fermented, the citizens of Oldtown were very enthusiastic about King Viserys coming to Oldtown.

As for the Hightower family, under such circumstances, they had sent honorary knights to the north along the Rose Road to welcome the king. No matter what they originally thought, now they could only let Viserys bring his army to the city of Oldtown.

In name, the Redwyne fleet is now assisting in the defense of the Oldtown sea area, and the king is bringing troops to assist Oldtown in land defense to prevent the Ironborn raiders from invading Oldtown.

But only Baelor Hightower, who was in charge of the defense of Oldtown, knew the bitterness. The Redwyne Fleet was helping to defend the outer sea and could actually block Whispering Bay at any time, while King Viserys's land forces were all Dornishmen.

If the king was dissatisfied with Hightower, he only needed to move his fingers, and the Hightower family would be blocked on both land and sea, and they might fall into an irreparable situation in an instant.

Baelor Hightower didn't understand what considerations his father, Earl Leighton, had for not pledging allegiance to King Targaryen with Willas Tyrell at the first time, and then delayed the progress of the fleet's dispatch when the king ordered the fleet to go north.

Now King Viserys seemed to come to Oldtown to ask for punishment.

But this subtle relationship between the king and Hightower was unknown to outsiders.

Even some doctors, most bachelors, assistant bachelors, and apprentices in the Citadel did not feel the pressure of the storm at all, and like ordinary people, they flocked to the port with enthusiasm to watch the sea monster's corpse.

In the general education of the Citadel, whether sea monsters really exist has always been a question of doubt. Many scholars have discussed the authenticity of sea monsters and published articles arguing that the incidents of sea monsters being witnessed may be fishermen seeing large whales or some marine creatures. Although the authenticity of the existence of sea monsters has not been completely denied, they are also critical of the "sea monster" and some rumors of sea monsters in various places.

But now, a living monster as big as a ship is placed at the port. The Citadel claims to be knowledgeable and studies everything, so how can it not be curious about sea monsters.

There are also magic and dragons. In the past two days, the number of people borrowing books related to magic, sea monsters, and dragons in the library of the Citadel has skyrocketed, and the discussion about these things has even exceeded the discussion of war. Even major events such as the Ironmen invading the Shield Islands and the Targaryens entering the South were quickly overshadowed by this craze.

People seem to have forgotten that there is a king sitting on the Iron Throne in King's Landing, and have regarded King Targaryen as the real and only king. The entire city, including ordinary scholars in the city and ordinary soldiers of the Hightower family, There was great enthusiasm and anticipation for the arrival of King Viserys.

Not many people like Laresa and others discussed sea monsters and dragons in quill wine bottles, but almost everyone discussed this matter at the wine table.

"It is said that the king rode a dragon to assist in the defense of the Arbor. He appeared twice on the Arbor. The first time he fell on Lord Redwyne's castle, and the second time he used dragon flames to destroy the Ironborn invasion of the Arbor. The ships outside the island. I'm not saying that I hope Oldtown will be attacked, but, to be honest, I would like it if the Ironborn also showed up in Oldtown, so that I would have the opportunity to witness His Majesty the King riding a dragon. Attack the invaders in the sky of Old Town." Rooney's face flushed with excitement, "Can you imagine, a real dragon appears in the sky, spitting dragon flames at the enemies on the sea!"

"In my opinion, it is impossible for the Ironborn to have a fleet of five hundred ships. The news that is going viral now is just a rumor. King Viserys may have another purpose in his trip to Old Town." Assistant Maester Aman said, lowering his voice. "Do you know how Oldtown came under Targaryen rule when Aegon conquered the Reach? When Aegon conquered the Reach, Lord Manfred Hightower was prudent and kept his troops in Oldtown and did not participate. 'Fire Fire', but there has never been a direct surrender. The Reach and Oldtown are not far apart, but Oldtown did not surrender until the end of the Battle of Fire, and the Northern Territory and the Vale, until Aegon the Conqueror himself went south. When he arrived at the old town, he took the initiative to open the city gate and show his allegiance. "

Laresa took a swig of strong wine and asked, "What do you want to say?"

"What do I want to say?" Assistant Bachelor Aman shook his head and looked at the Haikou Island called Zhanzhan Island, which can be seen from anywhere in the old town and is located in the center of the old town. It is also where the Mead River flows into the Whispering Bay. At the wide entrance to the sea, the tallest tower with blazing flames burning day and night asked in a low voice, "Do you think Earl Hightower showed his allegiance to His Majesty King Viserys before he went south? According to legend, Thunder The Earl of Don is staying at home in the towering tower, Ser Baelor is preparing the fleet and is ordered to go north, while Ser Gonsol, Ser Garth, and Ser Humphry cough cough."

Aman paused for a moment when he said this, and raised his wine glass ambiguously.

Laresa is a smart person and already knows what Aman said. When King Viserys settled in Highgarden and sent a message to the southern princes to pay their allegiance to Highgarden, the news had even spread throughout the Old Town. Earl Leyton and his heirs , and the other three scions are still present in Oldtown, and it’s self-evident what they represent.

"Ah? What?" Rooney didn't understand.

But Aman only raised his glass: "Anyway, these things are the business of the king and the adults. We ordinary people don't need to worry. Let us drink to the dragon and the king!"

Morand, who was almost drunk, slapped the wine table and shouted: "Cheers to the dragon and the king!"

And the noise caused the entire hotel to respond: "Here's to the dragon and the king!"

Laresa raised her glass and couldn't help but glance at the table in the hotel that responded first.

I saw five Dornishmen and a fat man over there, a black-haired Dornish woman dressed in a heroic dress and four Dornish knights with swords hanging from their waists. There was also a big fat man with an ordinary appearance who looked like a free man. People of the city-state.

Laresa found the Dornish woman raising a glass to her.

Many people also saw this scene, many of whom were familiar with him, and whistled at him.

Laresa tried her best to maintain a calm and generous expression, raised her wine glass and shouted back.

Laresa thought a little depressed, her game seems to be coming to an end?

However, to Larissa's expectation, it was the fat man he didn't know who came to negotiate with him in the end: "Sphinx, I want to see the 'Magician', can you help introduce him?"

Laresa didn't recognize him and looked oddly at his Sand Snake sisters and Dornish knight guards, but they turned against him.

Laresa blinked: "Well, you may not know something, sir, the 'Magician' is not in the school."

"Really? Is there anyone taking care of the Crow Island now? Is his apprentice here?"

Laresa looked more and more weird: "His apprentice is here, but sir, may I ask what your name is?"

"Wen Ema, you can call me Wen Ema, I am a friend of the Magician."

"Ah?" Laresa looked at his face and body shape in disbelief, "You really surprise me, Your Excellency Winema. However, I am happy to serve you, Your Excellency."
