Viserys's face was full of doubts, how could something like a demon really appear if it was just a legend.
But in fact, after hearing Dr. Marwin's words, the silver-haired young man's heart skipped a beat.
Naturally, not all of the books he gave to Dr. Marwyn for proofreading were included. He also had a book pointed out to him by the demonized Valyrian noble before his death.
Although Viserys didn't know what the other party wanted to express, the book was more like a miscellany to be precise. Perhaps it was written by the Valyrian noble on the eve of a premonition of the coming crisis.
What do you want to tell those who come after you?
The word ‘devil’ was mentioned above.
Viserys flipped through this miscellany after returning to Pentos, but the content was very messy, and many places in it were blurred. Coupled with the barriers of language changes over hundreds of years, Viserys
Rhys had some difficulty reading.
The whole article is filled with a series of words such as "demon", "black", "horror" and so on.
Vaguely, Viserys also doubted at that time whether there really was any deal between Valyria and the legendary demon.
Later.
That night, Viserys had a dream related to the Doomsday Scourge of Valyria.
...
He dreamed that the sky was collapsing, the earth was tearing apart, seawater was pouring into the sinking continent, submerging palaces, towns and temples, and the fourteen fire fronts across the Valyrian Peninsula spewed out thick black mist.
, hundreds of demonic dragons soared across the sky, letting out a silent roar.
He saw a white-bearded giant with a seven-star crown on his head and a war hammer in his hand. He saw a lady wrapped in a black robe with her arms around her knees and crying silently. He saw a floating corpse with its hands and feet tied in chains. He saw
A black goat was gnawing flesh and blood. He saw a black bird preening its feathers with pale eyes. He saw a ball of sun...
"These people are..."
However, in the end he saw all the faces of existence and exchanged them.
Viserys's heart suddenly tightened slightly, as if a big hand suddenly strangled his neck, making him unable to breathe.
The white-bearded giant was wrapped in a black robe, the crying lady raised the sheep's head, and the floating corpse with its hands and feet tied in chains turned into a black bird and broke free from the chains and flew away...
When the silver-haired young man looked at the group of 'monsters' in a panic, he didn't notice a pair of pale jade palms slowly crawling up the silver-haired young man's neck.
However, the Doomsday Scourge of Valyria continues.
This was not the first time Viserys had dreamed of a doomsday disaster. He had dreamed it once many years ago, but at that time there was no such bizarre scene, just a doomsday scene of the world collapsing.
But at this time, Viserys seemed to faintly hear the land wailing and wailing in his dream.
The mother and son that I dreamed about for the first time reunited after a long separation, and were once again reduced to ashes under the gushing lava.
The black mist rising from the Fourteen Fire Peaks turned into a fist and suddenly blasted into the sky. The jade hand behind Viserys's back that was about to reach his neck suddenly retreated at this moment.
Then the fist formed by the black mist exploded and fell into a black rain of blood all over the sky. The fiery red clouds sprinkled broken dragon crystals, and the fourteen fire peaks collapsed and turned into fourteen bottomless abyss.
The Valyrian Peninsula was instantly torn apart under the heavy hammer. The turbulent waves swept across the Land of Long Summer. Even Slaver's Bay did not escape. A large number of pyramids were washed away and the city walls collapsed.
The Valyrian Free Fortress, the most prosperous, powerful, and prestigious empire in human history so far that could even challenge the gods, died and disappeared into thin air.
It was at this moment that Viserys suddenly sat up and woke up from this nightmare. The soft feather bed was soaked with his sweat, and the cold sweat on his forehead was still dripping on the gorgeous velvet bedding.
The quasi-queen Dorne's Princess Arianne Martell and the third sister of the Sand Snakes who were sleeping next to the young king were also awakened. Tyene curled her body around Viserys and kissed her gently.
Touched his chest.
However, after Viserys adjusted his emotions, he did not tell the two women the specific details of the dream. He just hugged Arianne gently and told them that he had a nightmare.
...
No one except Arianne and Tyene knew that Viserys had a nightmare, and the women who slept with Viserys didn't know what he had dreamed about.
The views put forward by Dr. Marwyn are even more surprising. He not only believes that the legendary hell and demons are real, but also believes that Valyria has made a deal with these demons.
Weapons made of Valyrian steel, powerful magic mastered by the Valyrian people, and countless slaves enslaved to explore the underground world under the Fourteen Fire Peaks, all have a direct connection with the devil.
And these Dr. Marwyn were able to find clues of evidence in the batch of precious books provided by Viserys.
For example, a book about Valyrian steel forging mentioned that the key to forging Valyrian steel is the need for 'Devil's Breath' to purify the steel and add magic.
Dr. Marwyn is very sure that this word is the word "demon" in High Valyrian. As for what the devil's breath is, Dr. Marwyn himself doesn't know, but according to the description in the book, it seems to be a black
gas.
At the same time, it was also recorded in a travel diary.
'A Freehold nobleman of noble blood, his dignity has been provoked by the common people. Although the citizens of the Freehold have power, it is not enough to challenge the honor of the Bellerys family.'
'The Lord used his magic to punish this poor guy. He turned into a black mist, then appeared in front of him, grabbed his neck, and then stripped the poor guy's life away.'
"This seems to be a magic that can only be mastered by the highest nobles in the Free Fortress."
"Family Bellerys?"
Viserys's expression moved slightly when he heard the name of House Belerys.
Because the signature of that miscellaneous book was Belleris, it seemed that the family he entered was the Belleris family.
"Your Majesty's guess is good. The source of these books may be the Beleris family."
Dr. Marwyn confirmed Viserys' suspicion because he saw the shepherd's crest on the bookmark.
And among those books, there is also a book about exploring the continent of Sothoryos. The author of this book is Geninara Beleris.
She once rode her dragon and flew further south to the known world to find the legendary boiling oceans and steaming rivers.
She traveled further than any previous expedition - yet she only saw endless rainforests, deserts and mountains.
When she returned to Valyrian Freehold three years later, she declared that Sothothros was as big as Essos and was an 'endless continent'.
The views put forward by Dr. Marwin will definitely cause a great sensation if spread, but perhaps not many people believe it, and most of them will listen to it as a joke.
However, Viserys believed his words, because he was the host of the Black Mist, and also because of the dream he had.
"Valyria declared war on the gods, and the gods destroyed Valyria."
"But Valyria's soul is not dead..."
Boom——
The bells of the Nine Pagoda Palace were melodious and spread far away.
