Viserys stood there, reached out and hugged the baby boy, then raised his head and asked.
"Yes, noble young master."
Since Mirri has been punished accordingly and has followed Viserys as his mystical advisor, her attitude has naturally become much more sincere.
Then he took the initiative to explain without waiting for Viserys to ask.
"What I sang just now was the song of the Moonsinger. They can soothe the children's emotions, calm them down, and stop crying."
"I once went to the Land of Shadows and Asshai to learn the art of healing, where I learned this knowledge from the Moonsingers of the Juggesnai people."
Mili's identity is very mysterious, and she seems to have traveled to many places.
The baby boy in Viserys' arms was slightly startled.
…
On the journey back to his hometown from Westeros, he made a major unexpected discovery, and then because of a moment of evil thoughts, he was finally punished accordingly.
Mili's original plan was interrupted and she was unable to return to her hometown for the time being.
Originally, her mother hoped that she could end her travels, return to her hometown, inherit the sacrificial position in the temple, and continue her mission on her behalf.
However, it is obvious that Mili yearns for freedom and a life of travel.
She set off from her hometown to the Land of Shadows to learn healing techniques from Asshai, learned childbirth songs from the moonsingers of Juggsnai, and gained knowledge of herbal medicine from Dothraki women.
During the journey, she met Marwen, the maester of the city. This knowledgeable master told her all the secrets buried under the skin.
Now she meets Viserys again, the boy who has reawakened magic.
So she was actually very willing to follow this boy, even if she was shackled, she didn't complain at all.
Because she wanted to slowly analyze the secret of the magical recovery hidden in Viserys.
However, due to various misfortunes in the world, Mirri has been shackled to accept punishment and has become an advisor to Viserys. She is destined to have no way to return to her hometown to replace her mother as a priest.
However, the merchant ship had already left Pentos, and she had no way to send a message to her mother back home, telling her that she had changed her itinerary.
So I can only wait until I reach Braavos to do this.
After the merchant ship left Pentos, its final destination was only Braavos.
The big ship left the harbor and rode the wind and waves, sailing along the west coast of the Essos continent.
This is the 'Braavos Coast' that was eventually named after Braavos' victory in several city-state wars.
Viserys rarely stepped out of the cabin and stood on the deck, feeling slightly more relaxed because the long journey was finally coming to an end.
...
Time at sea is dull, boring, and passes by in a hurry.
In a flash, more than half a month has passed.
Viserys practiced swordsmanship with the chief swordsman every day, but it was not just the water dancer, because Syrio Forel was proficient in this kind of swordsmanship.
He was more guiding Viserys on a path that suited him.
The chief swordsman really put his mind to it and taught Viserys the sword skill seriously.
In addition to practicing swordsmanship, Viserys also did not forget the old maester's instructions before his death. He read books at a fixed time and continued to improve his knowledge.
At the same time, he also asked Mili for some knowledge about magic.
"When glass candles burn again, ghost grass grows again, dragon flames burn the earth, phantom turtles haunt wizards' avenues, blind people regain sight, and those who have humiliated wizards are cursed."
"All these signs represent the return of magic, and the power of magic is likely to be resurrected again."
Wearing heavy shackles, Mirri explained with a straight face that she told Viserys what the world would be like when magic returns.
The life of wearing shackles was not easy, but the woman seemed to have gotten used to it during this period, at least her wrists and ankles were no longer dripping with blood.
And Viserys also listened attentively, although he didn't know what glass candles, ghost grass and phantom turtles were.
But that doesn't stop him from knowing that all this will happen again more than ten years later.
Because dragons would be hatched at that time, traces of White Walkers also began to appear in the Haunted Forest north of the Great Wall.
Does this mean that that's when the demonic tide returns?
Viserys felt a slight haze in his heart. All this has not started yet, but perhaps there have been some initial moves in the embryonic stage.
However, when that time comes, the world will reveal his most mysterious side.
Viserys may also face more unpredictable enemies, and his advantage of foresight will gradually disappear.
"If magic exists, what about gods?"
"Mili."
"The Seven Gods, the Old Gods, the Drowned God, R'hllor, the Black Goat God, including the Supreme Shepherd, etc..."
Although he was not famous, Viserys still added the Supreme Shepherd of the Lazarin faith out of respect, and then couldn't help but ask.
"Do these gods also exist?"
Wow...
The shackles made a sound.
Mili rarely remained silent for a long time when facing the boy's question. Perhaps this question was a bit difficult for her, but she finally spoke.
"maybe."
"His Majesty."
More than half a month has passed. Mirri has followed Viserys and of course she has already known his true identity as a Targaryen.
Although he was shocked, he also felt that it was natural. Perhaps such a noble bloodline would contain bottomless secrets.
But after knowing this secret, she also understood that it would not be so easy for her to escape.
Although she still doesn't want to leave now, if she wants to leave one day, she may run the risk of being directly ordered to be silenced by this seemingly harmless boy.
"Although no one can see His true face."
"However, the brilliance of the gods affects the world all the time. Instead of dividing the world by countries, city-states, and races, it is more appropriate to divide the world by the beliefs of the gods."
"I think...that's the true nature of the world."
The people on the ship could already see the Titan standing on the earth in the distance.
This statue made of stone and bronze has its feet on two separate islands. One hand holds a broken sword high, and the holes in its eyes are burning with fire.
It was so far away that I could just see a blurry shadow.
The people on the ship even felt that they faintly heard the roar of the Titans, and then they started cheering.
They celebrated that this long journey was finally coming to an end, and that they had successfully passed this voyage alive.
And inside the cabin.
Viserys felt his scalp numb slightly as he listened to the cheers outside, then took a deep breath and spoke.
"So, what you mean is..."
"Is the essence of this world a struggle between gods?"
