Chapter nine hundred and sixty-six different roads
Horos had already won more than half of the battle, and even in Viserys' eyes, his eldest son should be a sure winner in the battle for succession.
Now he is somewhat concerned about whether Heros can complete the test he set. Otherwise, no matter how great the advantage Heroes gains, he can easily take it away.
Arianne guessed right. The struggle for power in the mortal world can at most make Viserys feel bright, such as the wonderful operation of Horos, but in the end it is others who decide who Viserys chooses.
What they are doing now is like a child's game.
When the level rises to the level of gods, sitting in the realm of gods and overlooking the human world, it is no longer limited to the struggle for one place and one city, but looks at the entire world, as well as the past and future time and space.
In addition to Horos, who had already gained a greater advantage, Viserys also focused on his second son Yin Meng.
"Yin Meng."
Yin Meng's body contained part of Viserys's magical power. This magical power helped the boy grow up smoothly, cured his congenital diseases, and gained a healthy body.
Yin Meng's strength is much greater than that of ordinary people, and he can at least defeat a hunting dog in an arm-wrestle, but his swordsmanship is not that outstanding.
But other than that, Yin Meng did not show any other magical qualities. Viserys's divine power lay dormant in his body.
He had almost forgotten what happened when he met his father when he was four years old. He only remembered his father's face and the warm and friendly smile on his face, which was deeply engraved in his mind.
in his mind.
I don't know why Yin Meng was so impressed by his father's smile. Maybe it was because he had only seen his father once in the fifteen years of his life, but he had grown up listening to his stories, so his memory was still fresh and difficult to remember.
forget.
Yin Meng once tried to imitate his father's smile, but the smile he learned was not very similar. Sometimes he even deliberately made it concave, and the smile that came out was uglier than crying, which made people feel awkward.
However, although Yin Meng failed to imitate his father's smile, he successfully imitated the sincerity and warmth in his father's smile.
Yin Meng learned to treat each of his friends with sincerity and warmth, just like his father treated himself.
For example, Yin Meng regarded his "husband and dog friends" as sons in his heart.
And he is their father. The father saw his son whom he had not seen for many years, and then showed the most contagious smile.
Therefore, Yin Meng did not learn the smile of Viserys at that time, but unexpectedly learned to treat others with sincerity, exchange sincerity with sincerity, and won many friendships.
Even though many of Yinmon Targaryen's friends seemed to his three queen mothers, sisters and brothers, as well as the important ministers of the Imperial Council, they were all idle noble children, and many of them did not even have the ability to do anything.
Inheritance rights, as well as illegitimate children and commoners.
But Yin Meng didn't think so. He seemed to have a magical power that brought them together to help each other. If one person had something to do, the others would use their connections to help. It was comparable to the Westeros version of the 'Second Son'
group'.
And because of the status of His Royal Highness Prince Yinmon Targaryen, this knighthood is still one of the few legal and compliant knighthoods in the empire, and the capital defense team has to give it some slack.
Unity is their greatest weapon, and everyone, including Yin Meng himself, is a second son.
If according to the teachings of the Seven Gods and the common practice in Westeros, primogeniture should be the system of inheritance, and the crown prince should be designated as Horos Targaryen.
And any second son, illegitimate son or commoner will be despised by people if taken alone.
But when these under-appreciated second sons stick together and form a joint force, coupled with the human connections that each of them can draw on in their respective families, they become a powerful force that cannot be ignored.
But it arises from loyalty and unity, and unity is also their biggest weakness.
The biggest weakness of a group based on unity is unity. If one day unity, affection, and trust no longer exist, then the group will collapse directly.
"The path Yin Meng chose"
"interesting."
Viserys suddenly felt a lot of anticipation as he looked at the boy who was having a party with his friends in Summer Hall, having fully recovered from his broken wrist.
Compared to the wonderful operations and political skills displayed by his eldest son Horos, Viserys was more looking forward to seeing how Yin Meng would perform next.
Because the path chosen by Yin Meng was something Viserys had never thought of before.
Make friends from all over the world, win the support of more people, and eventually climb up step by step.
In fact, Horos is very similar to his father Viserys, not only in appearance, but also in character.
Although Horos did not inherit his father's bloodline and has a very Valyrian appearance with silver hair and purple eyes, Horos is the person who most closely resembles Viserys in facial features.
The same is true when it comes to the path of choice. The decisions made at critical moments are very similar. As expected of father and son, they are simply carved from the same mold.
Because Heros has been learning from his father since he was a child, he regards his father as his goal and idol, but unlike Yin Meng, he is learning the methods of Viserys.
Yin Meng chose to unite more people, while Heros was lonely by nature. He had few friends, but he tried his best to attack his enemies. Once he took action, he would leave no room for the opponent to stand up.
Kheros is very much like his father, and Yin Meng has taken a different path. Therefore, compared to the path Viserys has taken, it is natural that he is more looking forward to Yin Meng's future.
things.
Many people worry that their offspring are not good enough, but Viserys is worried that each of his children is better than the last.
But this is just a worry for happiness. Even if only one person can inherit the throne of the Valyrian Empire in the end, Viserys has already made appropriate arrangements for the other two children.
"it's time."
After Viserys came out of seclusion, he finished all the things he wanted to do, and then raised his head and looked at the sky.
Next, he will return to the God's Domain to save the fate of the Seven Gods, the Drowned God, the Old Gods, Balerion and other Westeros and Valyrian gods, and fight against the ambitious Red God who wants to unify the entire God's Domain.
R'hllor.
"Set off!"
Immediately, Viserys' wings spread out from his back, the silver light gradually faded and turned into gold, and then it soared into the sky and flew straight into the sky.
