Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Chapter 219 The History of Hightower

"Hiss - he is too dangerous."

The Old Town old man let out a hiss of pain, covering his right eye in pain, his expression distorted, unable to stare at the burning glass candle in front of him.

Glass candle.

It is no lie that Leyton Hightower studied magic on the towering tower. In fact, Earl Leyton and his daughter "Mad Girl" Moroya Hightower were the first people in the world to know about the rekindling of glass candles. one. And he also knows some simple ways to use it, such as using a glass candle to peek into Old Town.

But as an old man, Earl Leighton's mental strength was very weak and he was unable to sustain the consumption for too long. And his daughter is extremely talented and born with very strong mental power. Earl Leighton knew that the "Crazy Girl" was not crazy, but because of the "atavism" phenomenon, she had the talent to become a powerful wizard, and she had been exposed to various emotional influences from others since she was a child. Fortunately, Earl Leighton discovered her talent early, and through magical education, he saved her from being tortured and crazy by this talent.

"What's wrong, father?" The crazy girl Moroya looked at Earl Leighton in confusion, and then took the initiative to get closer and stare at the flame of the glass candle with her eyes. In her eyes, a scene gradually appeared in the flame, a room in the school city. In the conference room, a group of excited doctors were discussing something. From time to time, they turned to speak to someone invisible to the glass candle.

Moroya held her breath and gradually saw a vague outline of the invisible person. She knew that it must be King Viserys, but from the glass candle, she could not see his whereabouts at all.

And when Moroya concentrated on seeing King Viserys's face clearly, she suddenly felt a strong stabbing pain in her head, and then involuntarily left the state of observing through the glass candle.

Moroya was surprised by this strange feeling and asked uneasily: "What is going on? This has never happened before. Even Marwen in the school city does not have such means."

Earl Leyton was still covering his eyes in pain: "Didn't you try to observe him a few days ago?"

Moroya replied: "In the past two days, you have been accompanying the king to inspect various places in the old town. Father, I always remember that you will not let me use this to spy on your every move."

Lord Leyton replied in surprise: "He is different from all the Targaryens that Hightower's ancestors have encountered. He has been to Valyria, and he must have learned the weird methods of the madmen in Valyria. He is too It's dangerous. There are no similar people in the records dating back to the Dawn Era, and those people are all obstacles to the right direction of the world. If he has become harmonious under the blood magic of Valyria. Those evil monsters in the Dawn Era also have hundreds or even thousands of lifespans, so the family's thousands of years of efforts may have to be repeated. Dragons and sea monsters have appeared one after another, as well as news of mermaids and strange ghosts. It’s like going back to the beginning. Things shouldn’t be like this.”

"Father, don't worry."

Earl Leighton seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden: "Oh, Moroya, I have been waiting all my life. I thought that the fate of our family could end in our hands, but how long will this curse last?"

Moroya looked at her father, with a hint of helplessness and sympathy in her eyes, and then replied: "Father, you put too much pressure on yourself."

".Moroya, my child, leave me alone."

"Yes, father." Moroya looked at her old father, and a thought flashed through her mind: [Don't worry, father, the family will no longer be bound by this kind of thing, and everything will end in my hands. I have known the truth, and am freed from the shackles of that stone, whose curse has haunted the Hightowers for generations. We have carried sins that are not ours for too long, generation after generation, making endless futile efforts. It's time to throw away those shackles, everything will end in my hands, and I will light the future for Hightower. 】

Moroya left the darkroom where her father was and went to the magic research room at the top of the towering tower. In addition to magic, the history of the Hightower family was also recorded here.

It is unknown which generation this room is from. Only the heirs of the Hightower family and those destined to become historical inheritors can enter and receive the inheritance.

Unlike most families in Westeros, the history of the Hightower family has never been dated. From the Dawn Era to the present, the recording method ranges from stone tablet carvings to parchment, and the recorded content ranges from brief to detailed. The only thing in common is that they own the sea. Heirs of Thar blood will be cursed when they come to this room that records the history of the Hightower family.

This curse comes from a black stone. In the oldest records of the Hightower family, this stone once belonged to the Bloodstone King of the Kingdom of Dawn. Hightower, inherited from the lineage of the Amethyst Queen of the ancient Dawn Kingdom, is a descendant of the Dawn Kingdom who moved her family after the Bloodstone Emperor's Blood Chaos Era and crossed the Sunset Sea to Westeros.

This curse is that when the Hightower bloodline comes into contact with the Black Stone, the idea of ​​restoring the world to what it should have been is planted in the mind, and it will be bound by this idea for the rest of its life.

According to Hightower's records, the emperor of the Kingdom of Dawn is a descendant of "gods". After finally losing his "divine nature", he will become the "promised" human emperor who will rule the world of Middle-earth and usher in a great era for mankind. .

And in the great era of mankind, all aliens, elves, and magic will end in the Far West.

"The Far West is the first continent of the world, the beginning of all things. All magic and elves soared in the clouds above the world on the high-altitude air currents and came to the Far West in ancient times, and the stories and songs of elves and magic also ended here."

After the people of the Hightower family came into contact with the real family history, they shaped the worldview under the influence of the Black Stone Curse. The world was originally created by the gods of creation, and Westeros-the Far West is the first continent of the world, and it is also the place where all magic, aliens, and elves finally ended. After all this is achieved, the world will usher in a great era for mankind.

According to the records, the original process of the world moving towards the future was interrupted by the "Bloodstone Emperor". He killed his sister "Amethyst Queen" and interrupted the process of the "Human Emperor" fading away from "divinity", thus causing the world to move in a completely different process from the expectations of the Creator God.

According to the historical records of the Hightower family, before her death, the Amethyst Queen's decree to her descendants fell on the black stone that once belonged to the Bloodstone Emperor. This move ended the Bloodstone Emperor's plan to use the power of the Black Stone to become a "god" again from a human, and at the same time imposed restrictions on his descendants, requiring them to follow the predetermined destiny, turn the world back on track, and usher in the great era of mankind.

If Viserys were here, he would understand this history like this: similar to the original Ice and Fire World, it would also start the human era in Middle-earth, just like the Lord of the Rings World, and the elves and magic would escape to the western continent Aman. But the Amethyst Queen believed that the Bloodstone Emperor interrupted all this, so she left a mental stamp to let his descendants restore everything to "what it should have been". But with the death of the Bloodstone Emperor, the world did not return to the "right track", and elves, magic, and aliens became popular in the world, while the western continent Aman, which was supposed to be hidden from the world and unknown, still occupies a very important position in the world.

After migrating to the western continent, seeing the war between the ancestors and the children of the forest, and establishing the school city after years of research and exploration. In the course of historical exploration, the ancestors of Hightower gradually found a way to solve the problems they faced, that is, to slaughter all aliens, erase everything related to magic, and expel magic and aliens from the world, so that the conditions for restoring the world to "what it should have been".

So they are happy to accept the belief in the Seven Gods developed by the Andals based on humanism, and are committed to eliminating gods, magic, and witchcraft.

Dragons were only part of what they originally wanted to eliminate, but the strength of the Valyrians made them never know how to solve it. In the Valyrian era, they looked at the world and it seemed that only dragons were magical creatures. But this entanglement lasted for thousands of years and eventually turned into hatred of dragons. In the process, some people began to associate dragons with magic and witchcraft, and constructed lies to guide all those who agreed that the world "should have been what it should have been" to be hostile to dragons, magic, and witchcraft.

In Hightower's records, their goal was once thought to have been achieved a hundred years ago. However, the fact is that the ideological imprint left by the Amethyst Queen still tortures them, and the world has not become "what it should have been".

By the time of Leighton Hightower, he had fallen into madness in order to solve the mental imprint of the family curse, and frantically studied magic and witchcraft, trying to find a solution.

In decades of research, Earl Leighton found nothing. "Mad Woman" Morua is the "historical inheritor" chosen by Earl Leighton, who will bear the historical mission of the family with his heir, Baelor Hightower, after him.

After Viserys appeared again with the dragon, Earl Leighton felt desperate about the curse of turning the world into "what it should have been". He began to find ways to eliminate the influence of the "Black Stone" like some of his ancestors, but the mental imprint of the Amethyst Queen made him, like his ancestors, unable to discard the "inheritance" branded under his spirit.

But Morua had once come into contact with the breath of the "Blood Stone Emperor", and she had a kind of intuition. The mysterious existence that inherited the breath of the Blood Stone Emperor may be able to erase the influence of the Black Stone for them, and she seems to have a way to get in touch with it through the power of the Black Stone.
