Chapter 305: Chapter 305: Black Worm
To Viserys' disappointment, the Unsullied officer did not bear the name Grey Worm.
"Your Grace, my name is Black Worm."
The Unsullied officer with the three long spikes on his helmet, who had been singled out by Viserys, hesitated slightly before kneeling on one knee and speaking without hesitation.
"Black Worm?"
Viserys was slightly disappointed. He then raised his head and asked the Unsullied army in front of him.
"Who is called Grey Worm?"
As Viserys' words fell, dozens of soldiers from the neatly arranged Unsullied formation stepped forward without hesitation.
"Your Grace, we are called Grey Worm."
These dozens of Unsullied soldiers who had stepped out from the formation spoke in unison.
Unsullied soldiers do not have their own names. They determine their names for the day by randomly drawing tags from a bucket. Each tag has two words written on it, one representing a color and one representing a worm, so the phenomenon of duplicate names within the Unsullied is very serious.
Viserys, sitting on his horse, looked at these 'Grey Worms' who had stepped out of the formation. Most of them had a single spike on their helmets, and only one had two spikes. It was clear that none of them was the 'Grey Worm' who was later unanimously elected as the leader by all the Unsullied.
"Never mind."
The silver-haired young man then sighed.
He waved his hand, ordering the abolition of the Unsullied's daily name-changing rule, allowing them to revert to their original names before they were castrated.
The 'Black Worm', who could command all the Unsullied, undoubtedly became the leader of the Unsullied army. He was proficient in the tactics of the Unsullied and knew how to bring out greater power.
However, after some thought, Black Worm did not revert to his name before he was castrated.
Perhaps too much time had passed and he could no longer remember it, he decided to keep the name he had been given that day.
He would be called Black Worm.
"Your Grace."
Black Worm once again knelt on one knee to express his gratitude to Viserys, as he had restored the original names of all the Unsullied.
Viserys didn't say much, only smiling and patting Black Worm on the shoulder, then once again mounted his horse.
"Ohhhh!"
The citizens of Pentos who were watching outside immediately cheered.
In their view, the power of House Targaryen was on the rise. With another Unsullied army joining, Pentos became even more stable and powerful, promising a bright future.
Those who wanted to cause trouble in Pentos, however, became more worried.
The strength of Pentos was also reflected in their eyes, making it increasingly difficult to stir up trouble here. If they were not careful, they might even lose their heads.
In the morning, Viserys inspected the Unsullied troops, and in the afternoon, he was still thinking about the black mist.
Some days ago, Viserys had injected the black mist into Bessie's body, and had been observing the changes brought about by the black mist ever since.
The experiment proved that Viserys' guess was not wrong. Bessie could indeed absorb more black mist for Viserys by killing.
Bessie executed many death row inmates in the prison.
And with the help of the black mist, her body recovered quickly. She can now fight normally, although her appearance is still a bit terrible, and she has not removed the metal mask from her face.
This is an exciting piece of good news.
Viserys can use the black
mist to help Bessie's body recover, which means he can also use it for many other things, such as enhancing the strength of some soldiers or saving the lives of those on the brink of death.
At the same time, facing an increasingly massive demand for black mist, Viserys needs help to further 'level up'. Otherwise, even if he exhausts himself, he won't be able to collect much on his own.
He had been worrying about this problem before, but now it seems to have been solved.
However, Viserys still remains cautious about the black mist.
Although he hopes his power can steadily increase, he values his life more.
After all, no one can say for sure what this thing is. If one day it turns against its master... he's not sure he can withstand it.
The main thing is that Viserys' current power is already sufficient. With the ability to transform into black mist, almost no one in this world can kill him.
So, increasing his superhuman power and standing between gods and men doesn't really serve any other purpose.
Of course.
Not long ago, Melisandre's warning to him was also on his mind.
He knows that he is not the only one in this world who has mastered this kind of magic or superhuman power.
Many, many people have such abilities.
They are not kings or Magisters, they may just be an inconspicuous little person by his side.
And the curse he holds, which may have been just a trick before the return of the magic tide, has become a terrifying means that can kill kings and Magisters after the return of the magic tide.
Viserys is also on guard, in case one day a shadow that looks like Robert suddenly walks into his room and stabs him to death.
However.
With Viserys' own methods, he could actually sneak into the Red Keep alone, turn into a wisp of black mist, kill Robert, and then sneak out.
He could become an assassin more terrifying than the Faceless Men, even the strongest in the world, but he disdains to use such methods.
Oh, he forgot that Robert hasn't returned to the Red Keep for a year now.
But he heard about the recent incident in King's Landing.
Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King who stayed in King's Landing, led the Gold Cloaks to surround the Red Keep and ordered the Grand Maester to examine the queen's body to confirm that she was not pregnant.
Although nothing was found in the end...
Viserys still shook his head regretfully, feeling injustice for the unborn Tommen the Great.
It was clearly his mother's negligence that implicated the poor child and prevented him from being born.
Compared to the eventful Westeros, life in Pentos was relatively calm.
Viserys had long had the ability to attack the Seven Kingdoms, but he had not yet launched an attack.
Firstly, because Viserys wanted to be absolutely sure, he would only strike after preparing more warships.
Secondly, because Robert is currently fighting the White Walkers, he is unwilling to help, but also unwilling to take advantage of the situation, as he might bear the curse of all mankind.
After all, this is a contest between the living and the dead.
Honor is something you can't see or touch, but sometimes it's very useful.
However, Viserys' peaceful days did not last long.
Two pieces of news came unexpectedly, which he had not anticipated.
