At night, Viserys sat quietly in his study and fell into deep thought.
There have been so many things happening recently that he rarely feels a little anxious. The black mist thing has always been his biggest concern because it involves himself, and now this mystery has finally made a breakthrough.
Combining the miscellaneous notes left by the Valyrian nobles and the nightmare he had, we can basically deduce some things.
Dreams in this world often have strong meanings. Viserys rarely dreams, and every time he dreams, he dreams of something unusual.
"The gods destroyed Valyria because they discovered that Valyria was making a deal with the devil..."
"Valyria was able to quickly rise from a small nomad to a 'dragon-herding clan' because of the deal it made with the devil?"
"But the devil...what exactly is it?"
Viserys held the wine glass in his hand, the crystal wine swirling in the crystal glass, and then took a sip.
He used to be a person who hated tobacco and alcohol very much, but now he couldn't help but use it to divert his attention when he encountered some troubles.
So far, all the books that have been collected that mention the word "demon" have not made it clear what this "demon" is?
What do they look like? Three heads? Nine arms?
Or...the word "demon" or "sin" in Valyrian has other meanings, and the Valyrian people do not mean this.
However, it is a pity that Viserys can collect very little information. Dr. Marwin also explained that only the most powerful families among the forty ancient families can master the core secrets of this free fortress.
The 'Shepherds' or 'Dragon Shepherds' family Beleris holds this secret, but the Targaryen family, which is at the bottom of the forty families, is not included in this.
"Dream Girl" Denise Targaryen only predicted that a crisis would come, and her family moved to Dragonstone Island, which was the outpost of the Free Fortress.
The powerful Freehold has enslaved many civilizations, but it has never set foot in Westeros.
Because in the records of the Targaryen family, the legendary prophet of Valyria predicted that the Sunset Sea region would breed a crisis that would destroy the world in the future, so the Free Fortress stopped at Dragonstone.
"If the dream I had is true, then the black mist I saw at the last moment when I escaped from Valyria might be the remains of the Fourteen Fire Peaks."
Viserys couldn't help but think, and then a lot of questions came to him.
"Then what exactly is underneath the remains of the Fourteenth Fire Peak?"
"Where will the bottomless abyss lead?"
"Seven hells? Or the devil's home?"
"Why are the Valyrians obsessed with capturing slaves from all over the world, and then sending them to the Fourteenth Fire Peak to die? What do they want to find from the ground?"
He originally thought that the information obtained from this operation was enough to solve the mystery of the Black Mist, but he did not expect that it would lead to a larger secret behind it and Viserys' curiosity.
But being curious, Viserys remained very calm, knowing that now was not the time for him to make trouble.
The problem of the White Walkers has not been solved yet. He should not provoke the legendary demons now, otherwise the world will become a mess.
Unless he knows how to transfer time and space, and transfer all the White Walkers, the Army of the Dead, and the Night King who have now occupied the entire North to the ruins of Valyria.
Let the demonized monsters, humans, sea monsters and dragons in the ruins of Valyria fight dog with these legions of the dead.
If this can really happen, Viserys is really looking forward to it.
Then his eyes fell on the map not far away, as well as the troop dispatch plan jointly discussed by all the generals loyal to the Targaryen family during the day.
The Dothraki and the Golden Company will be the vanguard. The Dothraki want to kill, and the Golden Company wants glory. They are the first to land in Westeros.
Andal Legion and Rhoynar Legion will be the main ace in the finale.
And Rhaenys was not left to supervise the country this time.
Because of the enemy he was about to face this time, Viserys would naturally have to go all out if he wanted to challenge the Night King.
He also needs another dragon knight to fight alongside him. Daenerys is too young, so the eldest princess of the new dynasty with combat experience is naturally the first choice.
...
"White Walkers."
"Dragon."
"Dothraki."
In the Cathedral of St. Belle.
The long golden hair reflected the light under the gloomy candlelight. A beautiful queen with a perfect figure, graceful and luxurious, crossed her arms on her chest and gently bit her white teeth, chanting these words in her mouth.
Then she turned around and looked at the knight in white standing behind her, and said with a complicated expression.
"I used to think these things were just legends, but these legendary things appeared one by one."
"I saw the bones left by the dragon in the cellar of the Red Keep. Robert didn't like them, so he moved them underground."
Speaking of the scene when she saw the dragon skull for the first time, the beautiful blond queen's face was still a little dazed.
"They're... too big."
"I just can't imagine how we're going to defeat them."
"What's more, the Mad King's son still has 60,000 troops, as well as Dothraki."
The continent of Essos is not that far away, but for a woman who has never left the West and King's Landing in her life, the Dothraki are as far away as a legend.
Legend has it that these savages cannibalize human flesh, drink human blood, commit adultery and plunder, and commit all kinds of evil.
If she fell into the hands of the Dothraki, Cersei couldn't help but shudder slightly at the thought.
Yet these ferocious Dothraki all surrendered to the son of the Mad King...
"Can you defeat him? Ser Jaime Lannister?"
"Defeat the dragon? Defeat the Dothraki? And the elephants of the Golden Company?"
"What can we rely on?"
"Father's army or those shitty golden robes from King's Landing?"
Cersei's slightly sarcastic voice sounded in St. Baelor's Cathedral. Although she was not a general who commanded troops, she also understood the huge disparity in strength between the two sides.
Before the White Walkers appeared, the nobles in the south scoffed at this and did not believe it at all.
However, when the White Walkers really came and defeated the coalition forces one after another and engulfed the entire northern kingdom, the nobles in the south were frightened and wanted to flee with their families to Essos for refuge.
Cersei is one of them. She once thought that the White Walkers were just non-existent things. Her husband's departure from King's Landing made it convenient for her to have an affair with James. However, she was frightened when the White Walkers came.
"That's right, Cersei, we really can't defeat him."
"He has dragons, barbarians, and an army..."
And the other side.
The white knight who was also standing in St. Baelor's Cathedral was filled with anger when he heard Cersei's sarcasm, and then finally couldn't help but speak.
"But are you sure that if we kill this old guy, we can obtain his forgiveness?"
"You know I killed his father!"
In the center of St. Belle's Cathedral, directly under the seven-pointed star above the head, the corpse of a white-haired old man is lying quietly here.
