Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

"My finance minister, how is the ship preparation going?"

The next night, as soon as Illyrio returned to the courtyard, Viserys couldn't wait to find him.

Illyrio shook his beard and smiled softly: "The preparation work is not so fast. Since we are going to sail far away and have such a purpose, we must do some cover-up. I will prepare some goods and arrange trustworthy personnel, and let your ship pretend to be a merchant, which will also facilitate your actions in secret, right?"

Viserys didn't even move his lips: "You did the right thing." He didn't look very happy. "But the opportunity is rare, we all have to set off quickly. The people in the Seven Kingdoms may be waiting for us to act together."

Illyrio complimented him: "My king, you have waited for most of your life. What if you wait a few more days...even if you wait a few more months?"

[You know, the Dornishmen across the sea didn't make any moves at all. 】

Viserys pursed his lips: "Did anyone ask about the dragon bone pendant for sale today?"

Illyrio answered him: "No, Your Majesty. Speaking of dragon bones, you asked me to change a batch for you, and it will arrive tomorrow."

"Finally, there is good news, my finance minister."

Up to now, Viserys has no intention of planning dragon eggs from Illyrio. Before he is strong enough, he dare not try to let Daenerys touch the dragon eggs.

The residual soul of the dragon bone is indeed thin, but the danger level is low. Although the dragon bones containing dragon soul are rare - as Illyrio changed several batches, there was often a situation where there was no one in twenty, but after all, he could continue to rely on the dragon bones for safety.

If someone knew what Viserys was thinking, they might think he was like a cowardly mouse, shrinking his head and tail, but he didn't care. Unrealistic bravery would only lead to a heroic death most of the time. He also believed that there were many people who were smarter and braver than him. If they had his cheats, they might have ascended the Iron Throne, transformed into dragons, and talked and laughed with gods. But his talents were only these, so let him go.

Eddard Stark taught his wolf cubs: people can only be brave when they are afraid.

And Viserys's bravery will only be released slowly as his power grows. The more magic power he accumulates, the braver he will be.

Now that he has some self-protection ability, he asks Illyrio more boldly. The fat governor always agrees generously, as if he has no doubts, but even if Illyrio cooperates, Viserys still thinks it's too slow.

Going south is just an excuse, and the purpose is to take the opportunity to explore dragon bones in luxury stores in major free trade cities. Viserys had thought about recruiting publicly, but after careful consideration, he felt that it was a stupid thing that only stupid people would do. Now it seems that only an unknown existence has discovered his secret and is eyeing him. If he does this publicly, it is equivalent to dancing under the noses of all mysterious parties.

If he feels that the pressure brought to him by a suspected "god" is not big enough, he can do it.

Since the dream of the ghost of the ancient king, Daenerys will no longer have similar dreams when she touches the dragon bones containing dragon souls. Instead, she directly feels that her body is paved with sparks little by little outside the dark curtain, and the heat in her blood is getting hotter and hotter. Her physique is visibly good. No matter how hard she trains, her body can always recover quickly. Viserys dare not let her work too hard, for fear that people will see abnormalities.

The purple dust that Viserys swallowed through dreams is getting less and less, almost invisible, but the medium that triggers his magic projection after entering the dream is not reduced at all.

The unknown existence fell into silence, thinking positively. Viserys did not dare to think positively at all.

He urgently needed strength to fill his restless heart.

The mission given to Illyrio was an explanation to him. The Fat Governor had been performing against him for so long, Viserys couldn't let him get nothing, and if he really lost his mind and did things according to Viserys's plan.

Then I wish him good luck, and may the gods bless him.

But Illyrio was obviously fine, and he was obviously trying to delay time, hinting from time to time that there was no movement across the sea, so that Viserys, who seemed to be hot-headed, would have time to calm down.

The Fat Governor wanted to wait for movement from the Seven Kingdoms.

He would never wait in his lifetime.

Viserys knew what he was talking about.

The silence of the Dornish people would make people imagine, but even if Viserys said there were no Dornish people, the Fat Governor would not believe it, and he would find reasons to convince himself.

Viserys was determined to leave, and he knew that the Fat Governor was never a resolute person, and he would sooner or later be impatient with Viserys's stupid decision and let him go. Just like in the book, Viserys insisted on following Drogo to travel through the Dothraki until the other party fulfilled the agreement and gave him the crown. Illyrio tried to persuade him several times but to no avail, and finally let him go.

Illyrio is like Varys, they are always willing to respect stupid people to do stupid things.

Finally, when Viserys asked Illyrio for the third time, the fat governor blinked and said that everything was ready.

"My king, the ship I arranged for you is ready." Illyrio said to Viserys, "but the sea has not been peaceful recently. One ship may not be enough to cope with the rampant pirates and wind and waves. I took the initiative to arrange a caravan for you, three ships, they are loaded with goods and disguised. If your majesty is willing, you can set off tomorrow. Captain Grolai is the most capable captain under my command. Do you want to meet him before departure?"

This arrangement is reasonable. During his wandering in the free trade cities, Viserys had a lot of experience in sailing. He also knew that it was not wise to sail on the sea with only an unarmed merchant ship.

"You are still thoughtful." Viserys agreed readily. "Finding loopholes for the king is the performance of a loyal minister. I have to thank you, my finance minister. Is the captain here? I want to see him?"

"This is what I should do, your majesty." Illyrio replied, "Captain Grolai is in a nearby inn. I will ask him to see you in the evening?"

"Okay."

"Your majesty, the king cannot be without guards." Illyrio said again, "The exiled knight, Jorah Mormont, do you want to recruit or hire him to protect you on this trip?"

Viserys was still wondering when he would mention this. He was already surrounded by Illyrio's people, and one more would not be much. Although Jorah had ulterior motives, it would be useful to keep him around. Just like the spy Ani can test poison for him, having a guard dressed as a knight of the Seven Kingdoms around him can avoid a lot of trouble.

During this period of time, Viserys has accumulated more than ten dragon scales of magic power. He expects to face Jorah Mormont head-on. Such magic power is enough for him to kill this armored knight with dragon flame ray.

Jorah and Illyrio may not be of the same mind. If King Robert has an order, Jorah may assassinate Viserys. But King Robert's order will pass through Varys and Illyrio's hands. As long as Viserys does not commit suicide, Varys and Illyrio will not let Viserys die.

But it does not mean that there is no need to worry about assassination. Assassination is just a means to achieve the goal. Just like in the original book, when Daenerys was assassinated for the first time, Jorah even rescued Daenerys. What they need is Drogo to send troops, not Daenerys's body.

If there comes a day when King Robert orders Viserys to die, Varys and Illyrio will be happy for Ser Jorah to do it, and use him to teach Viserys a lesson, so that he can be obedient and learn how to communicate with his teammates before doing things, and not do stupid things in a fit of anger.

"That's what I was thinking." Viserys agreed, "What test did you arrange for him before?"

"I asked him to guard my manor outside the city, which is often invaded by thieves." Illyrio said, "The servants of the manor told me that the sellsword is different from other sellswords. He is skilled in martial arts, serious, and serious in his work. He is ruthless to thieves, but he will take the initiative to protect women and children. Sometimes when people talk to him about his hometown, King Robert of his homeland and Lord Eddard Stark of the North, he will spit and shut up."

"Then arrange for him to see me." Viserys said, "I want to talk to him."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Illyrio agreed, and then said, "Considering that you are bringing your female relatives, I think it may be a little inconvenient to have only one knight around you. The eunuch guards in the courtyard are originally arranged to protect you. Do you need to bring them with you on this trip?"

[Will those eunuchs with pointed hats who never look at me listen to me? 】

"Bringing too many guards will defeat the purpose of disguise." Viserys felt that the fat governor had already stuffed enough people around him. If there were more, he would not be able to handle it by himself. "Let's put it this way. One eunuch guard is enough to guard the women. I have an older man guarding the door. He has thick eyebrows, a dark red face, and looks honest. What's his name?"

"Butch, your majesty. His companions call him the Black-Faced Butcher." Illyrio answered seriously.

"." Viserys tasted the nickname, "Let's pick him."
