Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

"Sir Governor, do you have any dragon-bone items in your mansion? May I see them?"

After the meal, Viserys did not forget to ask what he really cared about. He was not worried that his desire for dragon-related items would be known to others. Instead, he hoped that others would seize this "weakness" to bribe him and corrupt him when they wanted to take advantage of him.

Besides, it would be strange if he was born in Targaryen and had no interest in dragons.

Besides, everything is difficult at the beginning. If he didn't show it, how would Illyrio know what he wanted? Only by showing that he wanted it, could others think about whether to give it or not.

The Beggar King.

Viserys has nothing now. Why not take advantage of it while it is useful, and try it out whenever you can, just in case you get something?

Illyrio remembered that Viserys had asked the same question on the merchant ship.

It can be seen that Viserys is very eager for dragon-bone products, and he remembered that Viserys had asked about dragon eggs on the ship very kindly.

This was something that Varys had not written in his intelligence, and Illyrio could not help but think about it a little more, but he could not figure it out.

And since Viserys asked this, Illyrio could not refuse outright.

It happened to be the time for dessert after the meal, and Illyrio did not intend to continue discussing the "Dothraki" with Viserys.

Viserys showed resistance, and if Illyrio insisted too much, it would make him look too eager - he was playing the role of a broker, and he did not think he could convince the other party for a while.

Illyrio had to figure out the source of Viserys's resistance, was it distrust, temptation, or something else?

So Illyrio responded: "Since Your Majesty wants to see it, of course you can."

As he said that, Illyrio picked up a delicate little silver bell on the table and shook it twice. He called: "Butler!"

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged butler with a white face and no beard entered the restaurant and came to Illyrio. After Illyrio whispered a few words to him, the butler got up and left.

Not long after, the butler came to the restaurant with several plates full of exquisite treasure boxes, and another servant prepared a small table next to Illyrio for the butler to place them one by one.

"Your Majesty, please come forward."

Illyrio began to show the collection very proudly.

Viserys stepped forward generously.

Daenerys raised her head and saw that Viserys did not express anything, so she did not dare to move rashly. She sat there alone with her eyebrows lowered and stared at the desserts on the table in a daze.

Illyrio opened the first box: "Your Majesty, please look, this is a dragon's toe bone, supplemented with sapphires, made by skilled craftsmen, and I got it from a nobleman in Braavos."

Dragon bones are black in color due to the large amount of iron they contain. They are shaped like agate and are very ornamental. They are hollow like bird bones, tough like steel, and lighter and more flexible than many materials. Due to the scarcity and special texture of dragon bones, they are generally used to make many valuable collections, of course, there are also weapons such as dragon bone bows and dragon bone arrows.

Illyrio was a warrior when he was young, but he didn't seem to have a collection of dragon bone swords and bows. He looked like a nouveau riche who had become rich and lived a decent life. Most of his collections were vulgar objects inlaid with gems, jade, and gold. He looked like he was really keen on these vulgar things, and now he wears a jeweled gem ring on every finger.

Viserys made no secret of his desire for these dragon bone products. Every time Illyrio showed him one, he would shamelessly reach out and touch one.

Unfortunately, he could hardly feel anything just by touching it. Viserys was not sure whether it was because these crafts were nitrated by the craftsmen in various ways to block the physical sense, or because the method of investigation was wrong, or the dragon soul was not on these dragon bones at all.

Viserys had already given up hope and only thought about whether he could cheat Illyrio of one thing to explore in depth without any regret.

But the next moment, another dragon bone craft was taken out for display. It was a pendant made of a small piece of broken bone. The broken end was inlaid with gems and was very exquisite. When Viserys touched it, he clearly felt a corner of his soul slightly touched, just like being scraped by a soft feather on the skin.

"Ah, it's so exquisite." Viserys moved his hand away, letting Illyrio put it back, and then continued to show the next one.

Illyrio showed nine dragon bone products, and only two of them made Viserys feel something. Viserys was not an expert in treasure appraisal, so it was difficult to tell whether the crafts were fake or because there were differences between dragon bones.

"Your Majesty, is there anything that catches your eye," Illyrio said, "I heard that the royal family of King's Landing has collected several complete sets of dragon bones. I wonder what it looks like?"

[Want to stimulate my desire for King's Landing? ]

Viserys did not answer immediately, but picked up the dragon bone pendant that he had long been interested in from the collection as if no one was around, and stroked the pattern on it lovingly, and said in a deep voice: "King's Landing, sooner or later I will go back there and take back all the things that belong to me."

It is right to show ambition and ambition at the right time, and the same goes for greed.

Whether it is true or not, this behavior does not cost money, and when you have nothing, you may be able to exchange something in front of the right person.

Illyrio saw Viserys's exaggerated performance, but he thought to himself, "He may be using this lame performance to test my sincerity and see how much I am willing to give." So he said, "Since your majesty likes it, you can keep this dragon bone pendant."

"Is it okay?" Viserys said, his hand was already retracted, without any politeness at all, "You are so generous, Governor Illyrio."

"." Illyrio kept smiling, "I'm glad you don't mind, Your Majesty."

The banquet was over, and both the host and the guests were happy.

On Illyrio's side, although Viserys's performance seemed to be slightly different from Varys's intelligence, and he failed to quickly promote the alliance with the Dothraki, at least he controlled Viserys and Daenerys in his hands, and he could make long-term plans for the future.

On Viserys' side, he got something that seemed to contain a dragon soul without any effort, and his mind was all on it. He really wanted to find an empty corner and study it carefully.

But after all, he was now a beggar king living under someone else's roof, and his identity should be corrected, so Viserys suppressed his mood and let Illyrio let the maid arrange accommodation for him and Daenerys.

Under the guidance of the maid, they soon arrived at the arranged room.

First, Viserys' room, a spacious sea view room, just above the garden, facing the narrow sea, and even has a separate bathroom and toilet.

Viserys only glanced at the door, nodded to show satisfaction, and followed the maid to another place without thinking.

Daenerys' room was next door, separated from him by only a wall.

But the maid stopped Viserys: "Dear guest, this is the room arranged for this lady."

Viserys narrowed his eyes, maliciously undisguised: "Do you want to say this yourself, or does your master ask you to say this? Don't I know that this is my sister's room?"

For no reason, Daenerys, who had been following behind Viserys, shuddered. The cruel brother seemed to have never changed.

Viserys ignored the maid who tried to stop him, turned around and called Daenerys: "What are you doing, come in."

Pulling Dany into the room, Viserys closed the door.

Viserys certainly didn't want to do anything to Daenerys, but he couldn't stand that this little girl was not a good person.

She is very smart.

This is the crux of the matter. Viserys did not think that his abnormal behavior could make Daenerys not doubt him at all.

Viserys imitated the bad image of his original body as much as possible. He let go of his hand, slowly moved to the window, and said, "Daenerys, come here!"

Under the shadow of Viserys, Dany had long been accustomed to being manipulated, so she followed slowly to the window with her heart in her hands.

"Daenerys!" But Viserys did not get angry and scream and hit her for no reason as usual, but just said to her viciously, "If you want to protect a secret, don't act like you have a secret to protect, understand?"

Dany was stunned. Viserys's vicious voice was talking to her, but his eyes were slightly glancing at the door.

Then Viserys did not give Daenerys a chance to reply, and immediately left without stopping.

When Viserys went out, the maid at the door had not left yet. Viserys turned back and glared at Daenerys fiercely before returning to his room.

After being a riddler, Viserys did not intend to hide anything in the room, and did not guard against possible prying. He immediately took the dragon bone pendant he had taken from Illyrio and studied it at the desk in the room.

Secrets that are deliberately concealed will be explored by others, but things that are generously displayed are easily ignored and taken for granted.

On the other side of the courtyard, Illyrio was closing his eyes in the study, thinking that since Viserys unexpectedly resisted the plan he provided, should he wait for a while before Viserys felt that his enthusiasm had faded and began to get anxious and take the initiative to come up.

- According to intelligence, during his wandering in various city-states, Viserys would be very eager to take the initiative to find opportunities to talk to the nobles, and even flatter them once he was idle.

But soon, the maid who led the guests came here and told Illyrio what happened with Viserys and Daenerys.

"If you want to protect a secret, don't act like you have a secret to protect?" Illyrio muttered this sentence, "Did he really say that?"

The maid nodded: "Yes, master."

Illyrio asked curiously: "What else did he say?"

The maid replied: "Nothing, master."

"Keep an eye on them," Illyrio said with sharp eyes, "If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."

"Yes, master."

Secret?

What secret?

Illyrio frowned, and for a moment he had no idea what their "secret" was.

The two siblings have been under Varys's surveillance, what secrets can they have?

Did Varys not tell him?

Or is this so-called secret just an insignificant matter?

The information Varys gave him was too simple. After personal contact, he felt that Viserys might not be a simple person.
