To Pentos, the other side of the Dothraki Sea seemed like the end of the world.
They never expected that seven Khals and nearly 100,000 Dothraki were gathered there, preparing to march across the Dothraki Sea to conquer Pentos.
To avenge their 'friends', they also divided up this rich city-state.
However, two of these seven khaos stopped negotiating midway and were not prepared to participate, even if they were offered attractive benefits.
However, even if Khal Ogo and Khal Jumoko insisted on leaving, there were still five Khals and a Dothraki army of nearly 80,000 people who remained in this gluttonous feast.
Then the remaining five khals swore an oath on the Holy Mother Mountain, as witnessed by the stars in the sky.
Eighty thousand Dothraki marched toward the western world in mighty force.
And in Pentos.
Viserys was completely unaware of this.
He didn't know that there were nearly 80,000 Dothraki on the distant lakeside of the 'Womb of the World', targeting him and marching towards Pentos.
Now he is practicing riding a dragon.
On a barren land four or five miles outside Pentos City, the weeds underfoot were withered, and there was a meandering stream not far away.
Balerion's huge body lay on the ground, his huge wings spread out, and a large amount of white mist sprayed out from his nostrils, even smelling of sulfur and saltpeter.
Phew~
Balerion shook his head slightly again, and sprayed white mist from his nostrils with a dull sound.
The huge head tilted slightly, and his scarlet eyes glanced at Viserys, who was studying how to climb up. He blinked slightly, with contempt in his eyes.
It has been lying here for a long time, and its hind legs feel a little numb, but Viserys is still here studying how to climb up.
But this is actually not Viserys' fault.
After all, it was his first time riding a dragon and he had little experience, and the scales on Balerion's body were so sharp that his clothes would be scratched if he was not careful.
But the only thing that went smoothly was that others said that Balerion's body temperature was so high that he could probably bake an egg on it.
But Viserys himself had awakened the purest true dragon blood, and the lava flowing in the gaps between Balerion's scales was just a cup of warm water exuding heat to him.
"never mind."
Then Viserys gritted his teeth, ignoring the sharp scales on Balerion's body.
One of his hands grasped the gap between the scales, and then he climbed up cautiously with his feet on his hanging wings, and finally succeeded in climbing onto Balerion's back.
Phew~
Balerion's breathing was heavy, and his body was rising and falling gently with his breathing. When Viserys climbed onto his back, it was like stepping on a moving mountain of flesh.
"Wait a moment, I haven't sat down yet."
Viserys experienced for the first time what it would be like to grow so tall.
The strong wind from high up blew his hair, and he squinted his eyes slightly, then managed to find a relatively flat place on Balerion's back and sat down.
This is located at the junction of the dragon's neck and back. There is a fairly concave place, just right for a person to sit down, and it can also be effectively stuck.
At the same time, there are protruding long horns on the scales on both sides, which look extremely sharp. Viserys can hold these two protruding long horns with both hands to stabilize his body when riding a dragon.
"good!"
Viserys finally took a deep breath after sitting up.
The biting cold wind blew his hair, but he could still open his eyes. After his physique reached an extraordinary state, all aspects of his body seemed to have been strengthened.
And when Viserys sat on Balerion's back, he suddenly had a strange feeling, as if his connection with Balerion had been strengthened.
This may have something to do with the black fog.
Viserys once asked the other two girls that there was no such wonderful connection between Rhaenys and the green dragon Rhaegal, and Daenerys and the white dragon Viserion.
They just relied on familiarity and slowly explored the dragon's habits and temperament.
And the cultivation of this kind of relationship must be two-way. The dragon may also be trying to be friends with them, so everything becomes much simpler.
However, the connection between Viserys and Balerion is simpler, and the black mist serves as the medium for their communication.
When Balerion was just a dragon egg, the black mist of a dragon dream was injected into the dragon egg. After Balerion hatched, Viserys had such a wonderful connection with him.
It's even more like telepathy.
Viserys could know what Balerion was thinking, and Balerion could also know what Viserys was thinking.
In the end, Viserys made full preparations.
"Let's take off."
Viserys thought silently in his heart.
As if Balerion sensed Viserys's thoughts, he turned his head and glanced at him with scarlet eyes.
Then a vast, low roar came out.
"Hoo"
Balerion spread his wings and stirred up strong winds, sweeping up the dead grass and fallen leaves on the ground.
Then he ran a few steps forward, then his legs suddenly exerted force, and the dragon's huge body instantly rose into the air.
Phew~
Viserys sat on Balerion's back, his hands tightly grasping the two raised scales on the dragon's back, and then he felt the raging wind slap on his cheeks, and his whole body was moving in a kind of way.
It shoots straight up into the sky at a steep angle.
"Fuck!"
“It’s so exciting!”
Viserys tried his best to open his eyes wide, feeling the strong wind blowing his hair, and even couldn't help but utter a curse word.
However, Balerion felt that Viserys's thoughts did not slow him down, but instead increased the speed of his wings.
Phew~
The huge wings with a wingspan of more than ten meters flapped, driving the entire huge body, and Balerion and Viserys accelerated into the sky.
The huge figure was like a black-gold meteor, and the caravans passing by on the ground heard the roar of a dragon not far away.
Then they raised their heads and saw a scene that they would never forget. They all stood there blankly, looking up at the huge figure passing above them in the sky.
The war horses under the caravan guard were frightened and wanted to run away, while the packhorse carrying the goods simply lay down on the dirt road.
Sitting on the back of the dragon, Viserys spent the initial confusion.
He had to admit that he was a little panicked when he took off, and the emotion conveyed by Balerion even mocked him.
But after arriving in the sky and calming down, Viserys's heart gradually became much calmer.
