Viserys rode out of the military camp and disappeared into the rain. Naturally, someone would handle the rest of the military affairs for him.
Mistoyn, the commander of the Golden Company, became the acting commander-in-chief, and Balerion did not follow Viserys out. He quietly chose a relatively flat place to lie down, sleep peacefully, and wait for tomorrow.
fighting.
Wow!
There was still pouring rain above the head. After Viserys left the military camp on his horse, he did not go too far. He came to the upper reaches of the Wende River, deep in the dense forest.
Tread
The horse's hooves trampled the muddy ground under its feet, making Viserys' beautiful snow-white horse become dirty. However, the silver-haired knight did not pay attention and continued walking deeper into the kingswood.
"We've arrived."
Then he finally stopped at a place. Viserys held the saddle ring in his hand, then turned over and got off the horse, stepping on the muddy ground with his feet.
"It should be here."
Viserys looked around the surrounding environment with a pair of lavender eyes, and then determined his location.
According to the memory absorbed from the Three-Eyed Raven, his sword Dark Sister was finally lost here.
Decades ago, Brynden Rivers was imprisoned by King Aegon V and finally exiled to the Great Wall. At that time, he carried this Valyrian steel sword inherited from the Targaryen family to the north.
.
Then the traces of this sword disappeared along with the disappearance of Brynden Rivers, becoming a mystery.
But according to the memory of the Three-Eyed Crow, after he became the Green Seer, he commissioned someone to send the Dark Sisters back to the south.
But I don’t know why he didn’t choose to send the sword to King’s Landing, but instead buried it in this inaccessible royal forest.
Viserys only absorbed part of the Three-Eyed Raven's memories, which were not complete. Some were destroyed during the absorption process and became incomplete.
Viserys only knew what he had done, but he didn't know what he was thinking when he did it.
The trees in the royal forest are prosperous, and it has always been the exclusive garden of the Wang family. Hunting ceremonies are held here every year, and the hiding place of the Dark Sisters is in a cave near the source of the Wende River.
Viserys rode his horse and followed the memory of the Three-Eyed Crow to this place, then got off his horse and walked into the cave.
Although it was pouring rain outside at the moment, there was not much rain pouring into the cave.
Viserys picked up a few dry wood branches from the ground, then used flint to create sparks, ignited the leaves, and raised the torch.
The light of the torch dispelled the darkness and illuminated everything in the cave. It looked no different from an ordinary cave, with messy branches and wild grass growing wildly.
"Hiss~"
A patterned venomous snake hidden in the grass suddenly popped its head out as if it wanted to bite him, catching him off guard.
But the silver-haired youth easily pinched his head, preventing its venom from spraying out.
Click
Without making any screams, Viserys crushed the venomous snake's head and threw its body aside.
"Why did Brynden Rivers choose to place the Dark Sisters here?"
"Does Yulin still have any relationship with the old gods?"
The types of trees in the Kingswood are mixed, and there are also a lot of weirwoods growing there, but if it was just for this reason that he put this sword here, it would be a little unreasonable.
"There must be other reasons."
The silver-haired young man's eyes reflected the light of the torch, and he frowned slightly, thinking about the reason why the Three-Eyed Crow did this.
rustle
Then he continued to move forward with his footsteps, making a sound and walking into the depths of the cave.
The cave was very deep. Viserys walked inside for about ten minutes, holding a torch in his hand, and was attacked by some upside-down bats.
However, when he was about to reach the end of the cave, he finally made a different discovery.
"This is"
Click
Viserys crushed an old weathered head under his feet, and then stopped slightly, looking at the place illuminated by the fire not far away with his bright eyes.
There seems to be a small earth mound, and above the small earth mound is a bright long sword.
It was stuck upside down on a small earthen bag. Even though it had been covered with a lot of dust over the past few decades, it still reflected light slightly under the torch.
"This sword is the Dark Sister."
Viserys was convinced, and his eyes showed joy, but there was not much surprise. After all, he could easily give away a Valyrian steel sword, and the sword was only brought back to complete a mission.
That’s all.
Because of the help of the old gods, he had roughly guessed the whereabouts of Black Fire, but the sword was now in the Essos continent and he had no time to get it.
However, what really stopped him was not the Dark Sisters, but the 'little earthbag' inserted upside down under the legendary Valyrian steel sword.
The light of the torch was not too bright, barely dispelling the darkness deep in the cave, but if you look carefully, you can see that this 'little earth bag' is actually composed of heads that are only the size of eggs.
This pile of heads has piled up into a mountain, and at the bottom of the mountain, this egg-sized head has even turned into loess. It seems that many years have passed, at least more than the time that the Dark Sisters inserted here.
It takes much longer.
"What kind of head is this? Why are there so many of them?"
Viserys looked at the pile of heads and the fact that he was alone in the gloomy cave, and even felt a creepy feeling.
If you put yourself in his shoes, anyone who comes to a cave alone in the middle of the night and sees such a pile of heads will feel numb.
At this moment, some noises suddenly came from behind Viserys.
flutter
The silver-haired young man turned around holding a torch, and then he saw clearly that it was a group of crows. They seemed to have flown in to avoid the heavy rain outside the cave.
However, the group of crows let out a shrill cry, ignored Viserys who was very close at hand, and then pounced on the Dark Sisters as if they were crazy, ramming their heads against the sharp sword blades one by one.
Puff puff
This was an extremely bloody scene. The crows went crazy and crashed into the Valyrian steel sword, and then their heads were cut off by the blade.
Bang bang bang
The headless body relied on instinct and flew a few meters further, hitting the stone wall at the end of the cave not far away, and then fell into the pool below the stone wall.
The crow's head rolled down and remained forever on this skull-stacked Jingguan.
