Extra Story: Chapter Twelve Ten Thousand Years Before History
"We are from the same family."
"This family is not bound by the so-called surname, but by blood."
Daenerys's grandmother's voice was calm, but her eyes changed into something Daenerys had never seen before.
The whole person's temperament has also undergone earth-shaking changes. It seems that this old lady has experienced many things that ordinary people can't imagine when she was young.
She pointed to her hair, while her brother Damon Tagori listened to the conversation between the two, lowered his head, pinched the tiger's mouth of his palm, and readjusted his sitting posture.
Although the two siblings have left the family, and the quarrel was not pleasant at first, the awe deeply ingrained in their memory cannot be easily erased by time.
Daenerys on the other side was slightly shocked when she saw her grandmother's actions. She understood in her heart that what her grandmother was referring to was their hair color.
"really."
silver hair.
This is the bloodline characteristic of this family and what makes her unique.
But now old Mrs. Florent's hair has turned white, or due to other reasons, and the obvious silver color is almost impossible to see.
And it was precisely for this reason that something went wrong when her grandson Dani was born.
Daenerys' parents almost got divorced, believing that the child was not her biological flesh and blood. In the end, an old photo of Mrs. Florent and a paternity test certificate explained the whole story.
Although it is rare for a granddaughter to take after her grandmother in appearance, it is definitely not unheard of. Silver-blond hair is also a very special hair color in the Federation, and the paternity test certificate clearly states the blood relationship between father and daughter.
Then old Mrs. Florent explained to Daenerys the complicated relationship in detail, including what happened more than forty years ago, why she and her brother left the family, etc.
As Daenerys listened to her grandmother's words, she felt the pressure inside her heart suddenly increase, and the amount of information became larger and larger. She took a deep breath, and felt as if she had opened the door to a new world.
"We are...the Tagli family?"
"The Targaryen family is actually the royal family of the ancient empire that fell ten thousand years ago. The abbreviation of the Targaryen family?"
"The most distinctive features of the Targaryen royal family are...silver hair and purple eyes?"
…
Ten thousand years ago, the decline of the magic tide had already begun, and it even lasted hundreds of years from decline to final complete exhaustion.
At that time, the chief magician of the palace of the ancient empire was the first to notice something strange.
As a being who stands at the pinnacle of human magic, he is the most sensitive to the fluctuations of the magical breeze.
Later, the powerful chief magician of the palace showed a very rare expression of nervousness, as if facing a formidable enemy, and even issued the most severe warning to the then emperor of the ancient empire.
Magic was born because of dragons, and dragons survive because of magic. Once the tide of magic declines, the dragons will be unable to survive because there is no 'nourishment'.
By then, the empire will not have the "national beast" such as the dragon, and will no longer be able to suppress the rebellion in the Ghiscari province in the Far East, and maintain a huge territory that spans two continents and rules half of the planet. It will inevitably face a situation of being besieged on all sides and falling apart.
Therefore, the court magician suggested that His Majesty the Emperor should make plans in advance and be prepared for the imminent disappearance of magic.
However, it is a pity that the wise advice of this great magician was ignored by the emperor who was addicted to pleasure and was ignorant and incompetent at that time.
The emperor of the empire thought that the magician was crazy. The empire was stable, vast, with countless dragons and millions of armored soldiers.
Now suddenly someone comes and says that magic will disappear, all the dragons will fall, and the empire will collapse?
Therefore, the emperor immediately became furious and drove the old magician out of the palace and asked him to leave the empire within a month, otherwise he would be burned to ashes by the dragon.
However, this imperial edict to leave within a time limit was almost impossible to fulfill, almost forcing him to die and taking pleasure in his death.
The empire's territory is more than ten thousand miles vast, and the surrounding seas are all the Valyrian people's back gardens. How can this great magician escape to the east of the Bone Mountains within a month, and he doesn't know how to teleport?
Therefore, the chief magician was not willing to be forced to death by the emperor, and he was even more unwilling to watch the country be destroyed.
Relying on his familiarity with the Red Fort, he kidnapped the emperor's eldest son, the current crown prince, and wanted to use him as a hostage.
The magician then used the ancient blood sacrifice witchcraft, using the blood of the Targaryen prince as a connecting sacrifice, hoping to pray to the gods in the sky and the ancestors of the Targaryen royal family to inform the mortal world of the difficulties faced.
Bureau.
However, the results of the blood sacrifice seemed unexpected. No one knew what the great magician saw from this blood sacrifice, and then he seemed to have gone crazy.
At this time, the loyal and loyal elite royal guards also found the magician who had the audacity to kidnap the crown prince. They effortlessly captured the man who had fallen into madness, and rescued the unlucky man who was only half alive.
The frightened Crown Prince.
The royal guards recaptured the magician back to the Red Keep and asked him to face the thunderous wrath of His Majesty the Emperor. However, unexpectedly, the magician seemed to suddenly wake up at this moment.
He faced the tyrant on the Iron Throne and issued the most vicious curse, claiming that he was not going to die soon and would be deprived of the throne by the person he trusted most. Darkness would flood the entire empire and plunge it into doom, until it was overthrown by a dragon without a dragon.
Knight overturned.
The old magician's curse in public made the already angry emperor even more furious, but before he could order his execution, the old magician turned into a handful of loess amidst painful wails.
The magician died, and his curse was like a criminal's vicious vent before his death. No one took it seriously.
However, after some time passed, an accident suddenly occurred.
The crown prince who was kidnapped by the magician and sacrificed with blood suddenly took out a dagger from his arms in the royal palace on a certain day without warning and stabbed his father in the chest.
There was no warning in advance for this act, and none of the royal guards reacted.
They hurriedly caught the 'regicide' who did not resist, and then they remembered that the old emperor had this one and only son.
Therefore, they had to release him in the end, and the crown prince then naturally became the next generation of emperor, ushering in an era that was even more stupid and cruel than his father's.
The powerful empire also gradually declined under his rule. Dragons of the Targaryen family began to die inexplicably, and the mortality rate of newborn dragons increased.
Eventually the empire comes to an end.
A knight wearing silver armor and holding a sharp sword led the revolting people to capture King's Landing, ending the empire's ten thousand-year rule.
