Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Chapter 25 Calculation and Planning

Viserys's control experiment was very simple and lacked repeated argumentation, but he thought it was enough.

Viserys was like a medieval alchemist. He only needed to get reproducible results from simple experimental phenomena and put them into practice. The actual principles and logic could be put aside.

The conclusion of Viserys's simple experiment was: Daenerys' blood was an indispensable medium to obtain the dragon soul on the dragon bone.

At noon, Viserys did a test without contacting Daenerys' blood. The result was that Daenerys had a nightmare during her nap, and nothing happened to him. After contacting Daenerys' blood, he had a similar dream again at night. He dreamed that he swallowed a small ball of purple smoke again, and then briefly explored the magic ocean in his body again, squeezing out the second drop of water from it.

So far, he has obtained the second dragon scale and the second magic!

The acquisition of the second magic power meant that he had indeed found a way to reproducibly collect dragon souls: let the items containing dragon souls come into contact with Daenerys, and then use Daenerys' blood as a medium to achieve the purpose of collecting dragon souls in dreams.

Viserys was not sure if this was the only way to collect dragon souls, but it was the only way he had at the moment.

He did not rush to the bathroom to test the power of his breath. After so many days, he already knew that using up all the magic power every day would not make his "magic tank" larger. After testing the breath, he already knew that even if this little bit of magic power was doubled, the breath would only change from an ordinary lighter to a slightly more powerful lighter.

The magic-like flame breath supported by this little bit of magic power could only burn silk and silk. It was not enough to deal with tougher leather and things like steak and pork chops, not to mention armor.

Viserys estimated that at least four to five dragon scales of magic power would be needed to maintain his condensed breath for 2 to 3 seconds to penetrate the leather and cause serious damage to human flesh, and more would be needed to injure a knight wearing armor. Now if someone stood still and let him burn, of course he could cause burns, but if both sides were facing each other, creating an opportunity to aim his mouth at someone and only cause minor injuries would be basically useless - it would be better to stab with a dagger.

Speaking of which, this second magic power made Viserys discover a problem. King Guliok was a dragon king with three magical attributes, in addition to fire, there were also frost and lightning, but the two scales of magic power he got were both fire attributes. Viserys was not sure whether this was related to the dragon soul he swallowed, or whether he got too little magic power and was unlucky not to get the magic power of frost and lightning from the magic ocean.

These are things that need to be further experimented in the future to draw conclusions.

Viserys sorted out the chaotic thoughts in his head.

【As the matter of dragon bones was discussed, Illyrio's secret spying became the primary issue. 】

All signs indicate that Illyrio's spying on Viserys and Daenerys is a foregone conclusion, but Viserys has not been able to find the location after so many days. He has a rough guess, but he has not found any evidence to verify his guess.

He has observed the doors of the two rooms and the corridor outside the house carefully enough, and these two places can be ruled out with a high probability.

Combining his impression of the courtyard of the castle, plus the traces of maids and housekeepers always wandering in the corridor, he guessed a very likely method of spying - rats in the wall.

Viserys speculated that there might be a secret compartment somewhere in the wall of his and Daenerys's room, and the spying rats observed their every move in the room from there. But Viserys did not find any evidence. He took the opportunity when the maid and the housekeeper appeared in the open to look at the paintings on the walls of his room, the lamp holders, and the glass decorations. He even secretly measured the thickness of the walls of the room inside and outside the building and observed the possible secret entrances, but he could not find the possible location.

So it is likely that the next move will be made under the consideration of the possibility of spying.

[Illyrio's temptation. ]

Illyrio came back this time and obviously made great efforts. The radical temptations came one after another, and Viserys had to be extremely careful to deal with them.

Everyone would say nonsense that the enemy would be blocked by the generals and the water would be covered by the earth. Viserys must prepare enough words and plans, throw out some baits to confuse the enemy, and make plans for the worst.

If it really comes to the moment when the face needs to be torn and the truth needs to be revealed, he can't do nothing. His trump card must be kept no matter what, and left to Illyrio. After contact and the impression brought by the original book, this old fox may only be able to threaten him with his life.

【Daenerys. 】

Thinking of this girl, Viserys had a headache. Now this girl was extremely important to him.

But if it really came to a certain point

Viserys tried not to think of the worst case scenario. Human nature was the most vulnerable thing. If possible, try not to easily test yourself with extreme situations that would make your conscience uneasy.

Thinking of this, Viserys thought that she might have a fever at the moment.

Last time, he guessed that Daenerys' abnormal state on the second day was because he devoured the dragon soul. Now maybe she is in this situation. Viserys actually wanted to verify his guess and observe this abnormality from the beginning to the end of Daenerys. But he had established the habit of never getting up before noon in the past twenty days. This was his effort to deal with Illyrio. He weighed the pros and cons and could not waste his efforts.

The riddle was solved faster than Illyrio imagined.

It had only been a day since Viserys' riddle was revealed, and Illyrio knew the suspected correct answer.

"Merciful Mother, protect your sons, stop the arrows, resist the swords, and let them see a better tomorrow. Gentle Mother, help your daughters not to suffer, calm the anger, tame the madness, and teach them to be tolerant of each other."

This prayer comes from the Gospel of the Mother of the Seven Stars, Chapter 19, Section 8, Section 14, and is included in the Song of the Mother, which is a prayer for the Seven Gods to praise the Mother. The Mother is one of the seven different forms of a god in the Seven Gods. The believers of the Seven Gods believe that their God is unique, but he has seven states, just as the temple is a building, but it has seven high walls.

In many cases, in the temple, the monks will pick this passage to bless the newlyweds when they preside over the wedding between the altars of the Father and the Mother. In fact, this prayer has been heard by many people in the Seven Kingdoms, but usually, people will regard it as a familiar hymn. Only those who have read the Seven Star Bible and are familiar with the content and stories in it can accurately tell which chapter or verse of the Gospel of the Virgin Mary it comes from.

Although the number riddles of nineteen, eight, and fourteen are rigorous, Illyrio and Varys have many capable people under their command, especially they are familiar with the spy business. Soon Viserys's riddle was locked to the Holy Scripture, and it was determined that the only one that met the nineteen, eight, and fourteen was the Book of the Virgin Mary in the Seven Star Bible.

From the literal meaning, this is Viserys informing someone of his safety. The prayer is related to the wedding, and Illyrio can't help but think about what agreed secret information is hidden in it.

Illyrio also carefully examined the dragon bone pendant, but he couldn't see any clues - he suspected that this was Viserys's one-way contact method, and the price and dragon bones were both exposed, which was equivalent to being made public.

And this further proves that Viserys has a secret connection with a certain force in the Seven Kingdoms.

The spearhead is pointed directly at Dorne.

Illyrio is more and more convinced of his guess. After he sold Viserys's pendant in the shop, he assigned a lot of people to keep an eye on the flow of customers, especially those from Westeros, especially Dorne. Pentos is Illyrio's territory after all, and he must not let the changes that affect his overall situation for many years happen under his nose without his knowledge.

Compared with these potential threats that may affect their planning, the closer relationship between Viserys and his sister is just a trivial matter. As the situation develops to this point, Daenerys is no longer so important to Illyrio. She is no longer a princess who can be exchanged for tens of thousands of Dothraki troops, but just a sister who is deeply concerned by the Beggar King.

But Illyrio doubts whether the Beggar King really has such deep feelings for his sister.

Varys would say that King Robert is a fool in private, but he still walks on thin ice in front of King Robert. Illyrio finally has some understanding now.

Varys is right, dealing with the king is a hard job.

Even the beggar king was much more difficult to deal with than he thought.

"Master, everything you want is ready. When will it be delivered?"

In front of Illyrio, his Unsullied eunuch guard reported to him.

Illyrio looked up and saw that the gift box containing the dragon bones had been packed. Along with the gift box, there was a young girl with golden hair, blue eyes, a graceful figure, a hot body, and a lovely appearance.

"Now."

I know some people will wonder why Illyrio hasn't died yet. I'll spoil it in advance. When I first started writing, I thought about referring to "Maester Cressen" in the original book of Ice and Fire when I gave Illyrio the ending.

If you happen to know who Maester Cressen is and what happened to him, then please look forward to it. I will do my best to write the story I want to write.
