Viserys's movement was very sudden, and he directly overturned the lid of the dark coffin, and none of the bearded monks present reacted.
"Dear guest, you..."
The face of the old monk headed by the twelve monk governors suddenly changed, and everyone present was in an uproar.
Viserys's action was a very rude behavior. Even though he had a noble status and came riding a dragon, this kind of behavior of opening a coffin in someone's mourning hall was unacceptable.
However, before these bearded monks could accuse Viserys of being rude, everyone's expressions changed when they saw the scene in the coffin.
Because this dark coffin was empty at the moment, and the body disappeared without knowing when.
"what happened?"
"Where did the body go?"
The monk governor was furious, and then questioned the slave soldiers present, but the soldiers present were all dark and confused.
Because the memorial ceremony had lasted for three days and three nights, there were people guarding here day and night. It was impossible for anyone to steal the body when so many people were paying attention.
However, the scene was now in chaos, with people whispering and discussing, and Viserys's actions instead revealed the truth.
"Sorry, Your Majesty."
"Please move temporarily while we investigate the whereabouts of the body."
"We have prepared a grand banquet for you..."
At this moment, a bearded monk governor with long hair and beard came over, bowed slightly and saluted, and then spoke.
Not everyone in Novos is qualified to grow a beard, only orthodox monks can. Other men, regardless of their origin, generally have long mustaches and do not know how to trim them.
Women and slaves were not allowed to have any hair on their bodies, and their heads had to be shaved. Some Novos women of noble birth would wear wigs.
However, Viserys's trip was just to find this old monk from Norvos who had the power of prophecy, and he had no interest in attending any banquet.
Whether the other party is really dead or hiding because he doesn't want to see him, Viserys has nothing to do.
After all, the other party has stronger prophecy ability than he does, especially on the continent of Essos. Viserys' ability to absorb the old gods is more useful in Westeros.
"No need."
The silver-haired young man wearing a black cloak said calmly.
This kind of "calmness" is more often interpreted as "coldness" by the other party, and they secretly complain inwardly.
Having offended the emperor of the Valyrian Empire, what good life will there be in the future?
After all, the opponent only needs to move his fingers to send an army of 100,000 to annihilate the small city-state of Norvos.
And after all, it was just said that the person was dead, but the body disappeared, which indeed made people suspect that he was faking his death for a show.
The senior officials within Novos actually knew that this old monk had the power of prophecy. The incident that occurred in Qohor when the believers of the Red God Cult seized power a few years ago was also supposed to happen in Novos.
Because although the bearded monk system in Novos seems to be impregnable now, only its own people know internally that there is also a lot of dissatisfaction brewing in the lower city of Novos.
After all, the bearded monks are only a few people in this city, and the vast majority of people in Novos are ordinary people and even slaves who are not qualified to be monks.
Many places in the Free Trade City-State adopt slavery and rely on slaves whose lives are worthless to guard the city. The same is true in Norvos. Their holy guards are all bald slaves.
Because in Norvos women and slaves were not allowed to grow hair.
The faith of R'hllor, the Red God Cult, happens to be the easiest to inspire these poor people and slaves.
Therefore, many years ago, conflicts broke out in Qohor between the followers of the Red God Cult and the traditional nobles and followers of the Black Goat God.
The followers of the Red God Cult burned the statue of the Black Goat God, captured the Governor's Council, and massacred many of the great families of Qhoror.
Just like when Viserys teamed up with the Tattered Prince's Windblowers to capture Pentos, almost all of Qhor's aristocratic families were wiped out, and the remaining ones fled one after another.
Three years ago, Qohor was completely controlled by the R'hllor Cult. The Black Goat God Faith was driven out of Qohor and wandered in other trading city-states, even reaching the territory of the empire.
However, the belief in the Black Goat God is rather bloody, and animals are often sacrificed, including the lives of criminals. When necessary, the nobles of Kohol will also offer their own flesh and blood to the Black Goat God.
Many years ago, when the followers of the Red God secretly planned a riot, the nobles in the city adopted this most extreme method to hope for the blessing of the Black Goat God.
However, it is a pity that the Black Goat God did not appear as a saint to save the lives of his followers. In the end, the followers of the Red God Sect won the war and seized control of the city of Kohor, turning the city into a place that completely believed in the Red God.
Norvos would have suffered the same fate. The undercurrents at the bottom of Norvos were also surging. Many low-level people and slave soldiers living in the lower city were bewitched by the red-robed monks and prepared to fight against the followers of Qohor.
Let’s start an uprising together.
But the old monk on the Sinner's Stairs successfully predicted the occurrence of this scene and gave an early warning. Novos drove away all the red-robed monks and hunted down all the lower-class people and slave soldiers who were ready to participate, and then let these people
An uprising was stillborn.
"Did he really fake his death?"
The monk governor complained inwardly, but Viserys ignored him and was not in the mood to stay here any longer. Instead, he took a step forward and disappeared into a black mist before everyone's eyes.
...
Viserys found his dragon again. It actually didn't like the world constructed by humans. On the contrary, it preferred to stay in the deep mountains and old forests.
Novos is such a city, where the wind blows all year round and the city is surrounded by mountains.
When Viserys was a guest in the city of Norvos, Balerion flew to a hill outside the city to rest for a while. The place was covered with dense black forests, including beech, oak, pine trees and a large number of different wild animals.
Like wild boar, brown bear, wolf or other prey.
During this period, Balerion killed a brown bear, roasted it with dragon fire, ate it, and stuffed it between his teeth.
Now, Viserys can use the Black Mist to move within a radius of ten miles, enough to cover a city, so it won't take much effort for him to find Balerion.
However, Viserys frowned slightly when he found Balerion.
Because he noticed a familiar feeling here.
Then he carefully identified it, and then turned his attention to the northwest direction outside the city of Novos.
