Melisandre, who hasn't appeared in Viserys' sight for a long time, has been very busy recently.
This woman comes from distant Asshai, and she naturally has her own purpose in coming all the way to the Free Trade City.
And the series of things she has been busy with recently are naturally related to the collapse of the Great Wall in Westeros, the traces of the White Walkers, and the human coalition.
Simply put, she believed that the person who finally defeated the White Walkers must be Viserys.
Therefore, she stood firmly on the side of the true king.
But Melisandre understands Viserys's temper, although she very much hopes to persuade Viserys to send troops to unite the human coalition to fight against the White Walkers.
But she won't do that.
After all, she is not Viserys's great uncle, Maester Aemon is an elder that Viserys needs to respect.
What he can say, Melisandre cannot say, although both of them are from the perspective of justice and ignore personal honor and disgrace.
This righteousness is the true righteousness for all mankind.
But... Viserys is a very realistic person.
Forget hatred, why?
He was unwilling to let Westeros turn into a ghost, but sending troops to help Robert was absolutely impossible.
Robert Baratheon has sent killers to kill Viserys countless times. His mother Rhaela died because of this, and Viserys will certainly not forget it easily.
Unless Robert took off his crown, begged on his knees, and transferred power peacefully, Viserys knew that this was also impossible for Robert's fiery temper.
Ding-ding-ding-ding——
In the garden below the palace, the sound of metal clashing could be heard endlessly.
Viserys and Melisandre were walking in the long corridor and talking, while two boys wearing leather armor below were practicing sword skills.
One of them has long silver hair, violet eyes, and a handsome face.
The other boy has black hair, blue eyes, and is a bit taller.
The boy with long silver hair has a sharp attack. It is obvious that he has received strict training and every move is precise.
The other black-haired boy was constantly passively defending, and his swordsmanship was more practical, with wide open ranges.
"He should use a hammer, like his father."
Viserys had a sharp eye and commented.
If there is any title like the best swordsman in the Seven Kingdoms nowadays, Viserys deserves it.
He has completely transcended human beings and become a special existence between gods and mortals.
Gendry gave up being a blacksmith after witnessing his master pushing a living person into a furnace for blood sacrifice in order to forge swords, and instead became an ordinary guard in the castle.
No one knows his true identity, not even himself.
This time, he traveled from Andalos to Pentos, and he was just selected to follow the large army here.
Because Gendry was the youngest person in the guard, Aegon found him, and the two boys of the same age naturally became friends.
"This child has the blood of a king."
Viserys and Melisandre stood on the edge of the corridor watching the battle below, and then the red-haired woman spoke.
Viserys could see every move clearly, and Melisandre's eyes were equally sharp, but what she saw was a different scene from Viserys.
"oh?"
The silver-haired young man raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words of the red-robed witch.
"You mean Aegon?"
He thought Melisandre was talking about Aegon's identity. Is this Aegon really the son of his eldest brother Rhaegar?
Dragon dreams often bring important revelations. Viserys dreamed of Balerion's birth, but Viserys had not yet dreamed of Aegon's existence.
"No."
Melisandre was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly.
"I'm talking about the black-haired boy, Your Majesty."
"Gendry?"
Viserys suddenly realized.
It has been so long since Gendry followed his master, Master Tob, to Andalos that Viserys didn't even react just now. Thinking about it now...
He is truly the blood of kings.
Viserys didn't know how to identify the 'blood of the king' that the witches and witches talked about.
In his mind, the king's illegitimate son, Mance Rayder's son, and even the Horse King's son were all counted as the 'king's bloodline'.
So if a village chief declares himself a king, does his son count as the blood of the king?
If so, wouldn't King's Blood be mass-produced?
A strange thought suddenly crossed Viserys' mind.
Naturally, Melisandre didn't know what strange thoughts the King, who looked very serious, had in his mind. She was coming to say goodbye to Viserys today.
She is about to leave the continent of Essos and rush to Westeros to explore the way for the true king.
Because she sensed that the power of the Cold God had crossed the Great Wall and was invading the entire world.
The magical barrier blocking the cold has collapsed. If the power of the Cold God completely crosses the Great Wall, the cold wind will blow all over Westeros.
The entire world, including Dorne, and even the continent of Essos, will be plunged into eternal darkness and icy cold winds.
Humanity will perish and all things will wither.
"This is an era when the demonic tide returns."
Melisandre warned in a serious tone.
Although Arianne is often wary of this woman, Melisandre is not a woman who relies on selling her body.
When her expression becomes serious, she can't help but be intimidating.
"Before the dawn of time, the Children of the Forest had been active in the land of Westeros."
Magic has appeared even earlier, and the ancestors began to fight against the children of the forest.
The tide of magic reached its climax during the Age of Heroes. In that era, the long night enveloped the world, and many heroes awakened among humans around the world.
According to legend, some of them killed evil gods, some defeated terrible enemies and saved the world, and some used magic to build the magnificent Great Wall of Despair.
Melisandre believes that this is likely to be another era when the tide of magic reaches its climax.
Because traces of White Walkers began to appear in the last such era, and the same is true this time.
The power of magic is emerging more and more. The dragons, the White Walkers, the horns that destroyed the Great Wall, the heart of the stars that fell from the sky, and the thick fog that enveloped the ruins of Valyria are said to have become thicker and even more intense.
It rolled outwards and expanded, actively swallowing some passing ships.
All the legends have been confirmed to be true, and more mysterious powers may appear in the future.
Before Melisandre left, she warned Viserys to be careful of witches like her.
As the power of magic gradually increases, some people may use witchcraft to deal with him. After all, Viserys has offended too many people.
Viserys also nodded slightly, he listened to Melisandre's warning.
And at this time.
Woo——
A melodious horn sound came from the direction of Pentos Port.
