More than a month has passed since Viserys' coming-of-age ceremony.
From the time when the city was captured on New Year's Eve in the year 291 of the Aegon Calendar to the present day, a lot of things have happened, and almost another year has passed.
The early morning sunlight penetrates the window sill and shines into the elegant bedroom.
Under the golden curtain, Arianne was still sleeping soundly. There was another cloud and rain last night, and even Arianne, who was physically stronger, could not withstand such a torment.
Viserys, on the other hand, still got up at the same time as usual.
He rarely sleeps in, and the silver-haired young man is sitting on the edge of the bed with his upper body naked and wearing clothes. The main reason is that once he wakes up, he cannot fall back to sleep.
Viserys had a lot of things on his mind. Although he was in a position like a king and had a high position and had a commanding view of everything, his pressure was definitely much greater than that of a farmer, and he had many things to consider.
Even if I want to be lazy every morning, I can't fall asleep anymore when I think about the things in my mind.
And at this time.
There were some tinny sounds in his ears.
A black cat walked deftly from the window sill and appeared in Viserys's eyes.
It is Balerion, the little black cat that Rhaenys brought from the Red Keep.
However, the little black cat was still a cute little kitten at that time.
Now that so many years have passed, Viserys has held his own coming-of-age ceremony, and 'Balerion' has naturally grown from a kitten to an old black cat.
Its body has become a lot fatter, and it is a little wobbly when walking.
However, the balance is quite good and I can move freely on the narrow window sill.
The main thing is that the food in the castle and palace is good, and you can feel pampered every day.
And its head is still the small head it once was, which looks a bit out of proportion compared to its fat body.
He turned his head slightly from side to side, but didn't notice anyone looking at him.
Then he collapsed lazily on the window sill, not afraid that he would fall.
At the same time, his chubby figure stretched slightly and stretched.
However, not long after the old black cat lay down, he realized that the owner of this room had woken up and was sitting by the bed and looking at him.
Then the black cat licked its paws and let out a soft meow, showing no intention of leaving.
Anyone who dared to occupy Viserys's room would be the only one in the nine-tower palace except the old fat cat.
Balerion was the 'bully' in the castle when he was in Andaloth Castle. After arriving at the Nine Towers Palace, he seamlessly became the overlord here.
Several wild cats that once lived in the palace were scratched and beaten up after Balerion arrived, and they all finally escaped from here.
Balerion was now satisfied, and walked back to sleep with graceful steps.
Viserys saw the big fat cat lying on his balcony like this. He was not ready to leave and shook his head slightly, then withdrew his gaze.
I don’t know if it’s because he has the same name as Black Dragon.
Often influenced by his younger brother's domineering spirit, Great Balerion has indeed become much braver.
In order to distinguish the difference between a cat and a dragon, Viserys called them "Great Balerion" and "Little Balerion" respectively when they were present at the same time.
The old black cat is much older than the black dragon, and was even forced to run a business to help Rhaenys hatch dragon eggs. It is naturally the "Big Balerion".
The black dragon is still just a child, although it has grown a little bigger.
Even though the big fat cat may look small, it thrives in the dragon circle.
When the three dragons were young, the big fat cat would often play with them and even lie on their backs. Later, he disappeared in the castle for a few days for no reason. It turned out that he went to the royal forest to play with the older children.
Ever since the two Balerions became good friends, the elder Balerion had become much braver and his size had also increased, which Rhaenys once disliked greatly.
She suspected that Balerion had gone to the Kingswood to find a meal for his dragon brother.
The giant dragons are also very friendly to the big fat cat. They often catch some game and roast it themselves for the big cat brother to eat.
He ignored the fact that a certain big fat cat occupied his balcony.
Viserys withdrew his gaze, fastened the last button, put on all his clothes, and then came to the silver mirror in the bedroom.
This is a silver-plated life-size bronze mirror handmade from Myr, which is valuable. However, since Myr was destroyed by the Dothraki, such exquisite craftsmanship made by masters has become increasingly rare.
Viserys stood in front of the full-length mirror and stared at himself.
Then the black mist gradually spread in his eyes, filling the entire room, and Viserys' figure was wrapped in the black mist.
After accumulating some time ago, the amount of black mist he accumulated can now support him to "add points" again.
It is still presented in the ancient High Valyrian language.
Use ‘water’, ‘fire’, ‘earth’ and ‘moon’ to represent the corresponding abilities.
This time, Viserys raised his power to the extraordinary realm in one breath, and at the same time, his most proud mental ability was once again raised to nearly thirty.
Every attribute of ordinary people fluctuates around ten, but for special people such as the Demon Mountain, his strength and physique are very terrifying. With the blessing of magical abilities, Viserys's hand strength at that time was not even as strong as his, but the Demon Mountain
The mountain still has not achieved extraordinary abilities.
And Viserys has now broken through to transcendence. In addition to a significant increase in strength, he has naturally awakened a new ability.
That is the ability to freely absorb and give black mist.
“Absorb and give?”
Viserys stood there and savored what he could understand of this ability.
Now he was standing in front of the silver mirror, raising one hand slightly to show a claw shape. He didn't know if others could see it, but now a black mist appeared in the palm of his hand.
Viserys had a hunch in his heart that if this black mist was given to other people, it might produce unexpected special abilities.
for example...
Help the other party improve their strength?
The thought flashed through Viserys' mind.
However, he did not know the specific effectiveness of this ability without testing it.
And take and give.
To give is to give the black mist to others, and to absorb is to draw the black mist away from others as the name suggests.
Viserys previously speculated that the black mist may be the spiritual energy in the human body, similar to the soul.
Therefore, after killing that person with his own hands, he will take away the soul from the other person's body, and the other person will be completely dead.
