Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Dr. Perestan's sudden change of gun muzzle caught the city's doctors off guard. The old doctor was very passionate and looked like his resentment was exploding.

Viserys was curious: "'Truth'? There is 'truth' hidden behind the secret door of the Cardinal's Pavilion. What is it?"

"You even know the door to the Cardinal's Pavilion!" Instead, it was Theobald who answered in despair, "It's a scroll. The seniors in the academy used their knowledge of mathematics, alchemy, and astronomy to calculate it. The truth of the world condenses everything into a scroll that can be used to calculate the world. "

Viserys narrowed his eyes at him.

He glanced at the other twenty doctors. Except for Verin, who had already fallen into dementia, everyone's mood changed slightly after hearing Theobald's words.

"Is there such a thing in the school city?"

Looking at the doctors of these cities, Viserys felt extremely ridiculous.

This feeling is like being at a seminar at the forefront of world science, where experts and professors told him that there is a "push-back chart" in the world. Simply outrageous. So much so that Viserys began to worry about the academics in the city, and his view of the city's doctors changed from medieval scientists to a group of medieval civilian scientists.

But judging from their expressions, they are actually serious?

"You'll never get through that door!"

Viserys couldn't help but ask: "I wonder if you have heard that I demolished the House of Black and White in Braavos? I am very curious whether the walls of the Great Library are harder than the stone walls of the House of Black and White. Or the magic contract door in the academy can stop the dragon. Doctors in the academy, how do you enter a locked house? I'm curious if your thinking has been fixed on the only other way to unlock the door? Can’t think of any other way?”

"."

"I thought it would be troublesome to deal with you. Can your organization show me some dark magic? Or do you have no choice but to poison, hire killers, or send poisoned scrolls to people? Seriously, If you only have this means, I'm curious as to why you would create a world without magic?"

Viserys didn't know until he looked through the historical records of the Citadel in the Great Library of the Citadel that he knew that forty-three years after the Conquest, when the cruel Maegor entered Oldtown, the doctors of the Citadel had been accused of murdering the High Septon during the reign of King Maegor I.

At that time, Maegor I was holding court in Oldtown and presiding over trials. The Citadel was accused of using black magic, hiring assassins, or using poisoned scrolls to kill the Archbishop of the Starry Temple, who was an enemy of Maegor I. But King Maegor may have felt that the Citadel was helping him by doing so, and did not hold the Citadel accountable, nor did it investigate the truth behind the Archbishop's death. And the academy so generously recorded this historical record in the academy's historical text and denied it.

But for some facts, the official denial is actually a disguised admission.

However, there was no rift between the Academy and the Seven Gods Sect over that incident, and they continued to cooperate in the dragon-slaying plan during the Dance of the Blood Dragons.

The doctors all suddenly changed their expressions when they heard Viserys talking about "dark magic, poisoning, hiring assassins and sending poisoned scrolls".

Viserys couldn't help but take a deep look at these city doctors.

Viserys couldn't help but shook his head, and said in a cold voice: "To be honest, I originally felt a little sorry for planning to execute you, but depending on the situation, rather than treating you as the crystallization of the city's wisdom, it is better to regard you as a group of self-righteous and arrogant people. Cultists who do everything they can will not regret their death.”

"You want to execute us?"

"How cruel!"

"No, you can't do that. Even Maegor the Cruel would allow the rebel cultists to wear black!"

"You, if you kill me, "Stargazing" will be lost."

Viserys said: "You conspired to overthrow the Targaryen dynasty, which constitutes treason. Traitors will die. This is the law of the Seven Kingdoms. I will not punish them without teaching. The law exists to punish criminals. How dare you Do you do those plots and tricks, but don’t dare to bear the consequences?”

"Treason. This."

"You are part of a group plotting to overthrow the Targaryen dynasty."

"No, it's not. Our organization is not targeting Targaryens, it's just that you Targaryens rely on dragons and magic. This is wrong!"

Even Perestan couldn't listen anymore: "Forget it, this does not hinder the fact that our organization is treason. I feel ashamed to have worked with you in the same organization. From the day we joined the organization, when we were discussing the fight against the giant Long should have thought that this day would come. Now that the outcome has been decided, isn't it ridiculous that you still want to live? No wonder Marwen would call us 'grey sheep', and all of us would just bleat when the situation comes."

Viserys couldn't help but ask: "To be honest, I'm curious, why do you deny magic and try to cover up its existence when you know that magic is real? Dr. Perestan, can you give me the answer?" "

Perestan already regarded himself as a dead man, and said without any nonsense: "I have to admit that I don't know the answer, and I don't deny that maybe if I know the answer, I will be as fanatical as them."

Viserys nodded at him: "I believe you are telling the truth, Dr. Perestan." He looked at Theobald, "Dr. Theobald, can you clarify my doubts? Or the one you originally selected Who is the bachelor? Can you provide services to me and answer my questions? "

Perestan spread his hands helplessly: "Your Majesty, I am the bachelor elected by the Cardinals, but I can't answer your questions."

"." Viserys was speechless for a moment.

Theobald gradually regained his personal persistence in the words of Viserys and Perestan: "King Viserys, I have read your copy of Valyria's Elements of Geometry. 》——That book is incomplete. I don’t know whether you don’t understand the rest of the part or you can’t remember it. I have also discussed your experimental plan with you. You are also someone who knows some mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Do you know how much you know about alchemy?"

At this moment, it seems like an academic exchange is about to take place in the classroom.

Viserys looked back calmly: "Just say what you want to say."

"Then let me speak frankly, Your Majesty the King. The world we live in is abnormal. In the observation records of the past thousands of years, our world does not show a regular solar return cycle, nor does it have a regular planetary rotation trajectory. I hope you know what the solar return cycle and the planet's rotation are. In the speculation of the observational records, they should be regular, but there are forces that affect them. Your Majesty, I don't know if you know it from the Valyrian knowledge system. The word 'earthquake'?"

The specious-sounding word puzzled Viserys: "'Earthquake'?"

"Yes, 'earthquake'. This 'word' is used to describe a geographical phenomenon in our world in ancient times, before the Dawn Era. When an 'earthquake' occurs, the ground will rise and fall with vibrations like sea water. Shakes, forces that shift the earth, crumble mountains, and change the course of rivers.”

Viserys understood: "'Earthquake,' I think you meant it."

"Earthquakes, earthquakes. Just understand." Theobald looked at Viserys, feeling a burst of sadness for no reason. "This phenomenon called earthquakes indicates that the world's continental shelf is in a state of motion. But you Did you know that this phenomenon has not happened again for tens of thousands of years?”

Viserys couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. This was the first time he had heard of this thing. And Viserys realized that the Citadel did not regard Valyria's disaster as an earthquake disaster.

Theobald continued to add: "Your Majesty the King, have you ever thought about who defined the four seasons of 'spring, summer, autumn and winter', and why are they four seasons? Why are they so irregular? Why do we need to use the solar return cycle to confirm it? Seasons?" Viserys didn't need to answer, Theobald added the answer himself, "Because they were regular! Our world was once a regular world, with four distinct seasons, and the return cycle of the sun was the same as the return cycle of the zodiac signs. It was all normal. At that time, the four seasons were caused by the off-axis rotation of the world, and the world was also in a state of motion. But the emergence of magic and witchcraft affected the movement of the world, and the earth stopped under the influence of magic. Normal movements, and even normal activities in the world, have quietly changed and become more and more irregular due to the addition of magical power.

Can you imagine that there are unreasonable forces that have stagnated the world we live in, causing the earthquakes that would have occurred to stagnate, causing its normal off-axis rotation to become chaotic, and causing the geological conditions that should have occurred normally to All activities stopped. "

"You actually have a theory of geological plate movement?"

"Geological plates?" Theobald read the word and nodded, "It seems you can understand. So if I say that Westeros, Sothothros, and the Ultus continent are the continents of Essos, You must be able to accept the fact that the continents were separated by natural movements that lasted tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years during the earthquake?"

"Are you saying that Essos was once an entire ancient continent, and that Westeros, Sothoros, and Ultus were separated during geological activities?"

"Very good. You do understand." Theobald nodded, "It is this natural activity that makes the world what it is now. However, as magic began to appear in the world tens of thousands of years ago, the natural activity of the world stopped Since the emergence of magic, earthquakes have never occurred in the world, which means that the natural deduction of our world has been blocked by some force, and the rotation of the planet has also begun to become chaotic under this force for tens of thousands of years. Down, our world becomes a world of chaos.”

Viserys asked: "How do you determine that the natural geological movement has stopped and is related to magic? How do you determine the cause and effect of the relationship between the two?"

Theobald said excitedly: "This is the most important secret of our organization. Only those who join the organization are qualified to watch the 'truth' calculated by the seniors in that school city! I can't tell you completely what it is. What I can tell you is that with that thing, we can use variable calculations to accurately calculate the seasonal changes in an increasingly irregular world, and it also shows that when we remove magic and witchcraft, the world will be different. Back on track.”

"I would like to ask something that may be a historical conspiracy. Is the war between the ancestors from Essos and the Arm of Dorne to Westeros and the Children of the Forest related to your predecessors who founded the Academy City? The Children of the Forest represent magic, and you work to dispel magic.”

Based on the Citadel's statement, Viserys concluded that the songs of the Children of the Forest and the Green Seers were most likely "Songs of the Earth." The city believes that there is some kind of force that causes the normal geological movement of the world to stagnate and change, and it is most likely related to the owner of the Song of the Earth.

Viserys tried to build a model of the earth in his mind. Its rotation and normal geological activities became chaotic under the influence of "magic" - Song of the Earth. The original normal trajectory gradually deviated but was maintained due to the influence of magic. A strange state of balance.

Viserys racked his brains, but still couldn't imagine what kind of rotation trajectory would make this planet have chaotic seasons, but still maintain the normal relationship between the north and south poles and the equator.

"The academic city is not that old, and it was most likely established during the Heroic Era -" Theobald replied, "However, the ancestors who established the academic city may be the descendants of that group of people, but the history of the initial establishment of the academic city cannot be tested. . Only the stone tablets recording historical inferences will remain forever.”

Viserys asked strangely: "If the Citadel was only established in the Age of Heroes, how do you ensure that the truth tens of thousands of years ago is not false?"

Theobald replied: "The history recorded by men may be wrong, but the arithmetic, astronomy, geography and alchemy are not wrong."

"So, why do you associate dragons with magic and think that dragons bring magic?"

Theobald defended: "The idea of ​​our organization is to build a world without magic, and dragons are just one of them. In fact, we never thought that dragons brought magic. It was only in the Valyrian era. The dragon kings of the ancient Free Fortress possess powerful witchcraft. They are the representatives of magic and witchcraft. However, after the Doomsday Catastrophe of Valyria, the magic of the dragon kings no longer exists, and only the dragons are left. The dragon is the representative of witchcraft. And magical creations. After the catastrophe in Valyria, the organization believed that the only magical creation left in the world was the dragon! So people who don't know us would think that we associate dragons with magic. The question lets me know that it was not an insider within our organization who exposed our existence, Your Majesty.”

Someone guessed: "It's Marwin. He's not dead, right? It must be him. That self-righteous lunatic thinks he is the smartest in the world. I know he's not dead! We once gave Marwin a poisoned scroll." , poisoned his food, and hired a killer to murder him. There is no doubt that he hates us! "

Viserys smiled and did not answer directly: "Have you ever regretted that you abandoned magic? Today, you have no wizards who can serve you, and you can only rely on hired killers, poison, and your own hands full of age spots? "

Theobald suddenly felt panic in his heart, and he asked: "Where's Marwen, why don't you let him come out and laugh at us in front of us?"

Viserys smiled: "Haha, Dr. Marwin is not as narrow-minded as you think. Rather than laughing at you, he wants to know what you are hiding behind the door and what the truth is."

"Impossible! He can't get through that door!"

Viserys sneered, "Maybe. Who knows."

Theobald glanced around the field: "No -" he had already thought.

The old and demented Dr. Wargrave is not here, but he was the previous superintendent of the 'real world'.
