章 756: Chapter 756: The Black Dread
As the imminent danger approached, Viserys didn't choose to sit idly by. Firstly, he allowed Qyburn to continue researching the changes in Victarion, seeking a breakthrough to unravel the mystery of his transformation from a human into this monstrous being, ultimately holding the secret in his hands. After all, he could transform an ordinary human into a lightning-fast, immensely powerful merman monster. If he possessed such a legion of monsters, it would undoubtedly send shivers down anyone's spine.
Secondly, it was an idea that had sprouted in his mind many years ago, one he wanted to bring to reality—visiting the old monk on the steps of the Novos Sin Ladder. The monk was a transcendent figure with confirmed prophetic abilities on the Essos continent, though relatively unknown. Similar to the Green Prophet in Westeros, Viserys anticipated receiving some warnings during the conversation.
Viserys arranged his departure from King's Landing, though there wasn't much to arrange, as the Valyrian Emperor had spent the past four years traveling the world on his dragon, not returning home much. The city officials initially thought it was due to the air quality in the city, driving away the esteemed Imperial family. However, even after solving the sewer problems, there was no sign of their return.
Currently, only Viserys, the dragon-riding young queen, and Princess Daenerys occasionally set foot in King's Landing. Other members of the royal family rarely visited. Of course, Prince Aegon wasn't included because, since he decided to "voluntarily" embrace the arms of the Seven, he had essentially renounced his surname, similar to Meagor I's son, Maekar, who joined the responsibility, abandoning his surname, position, and lineage.
Now an adult, Brother Aegon had become one of the most talented monks in the entire Great Sept of Baelor, being the "disciple" of the current High Septon. With his extraordinary background, it was almost certain that he would be the next High Septon unless unforeseen circumstances arose. His future was promising.
Viserys, accompanied by his old friend Balerion, set off towards Novos Sin.
Meanwhile, on the walls of King's Landing, the Master of Whispers, Varys, and the Master of Coin, Illyrio, stood facing the sea. They watched as the expansive wings of the dragon gradually turned into a speck and eventually disappeared at the intersection of sea and sky.
Afterward, Varys slightly shrugged his shoulders and, in a soft voice, remarked, "Conspiracy and deceit."
"Sin and ugliness."
"Once, these were the unchanging themes of this city. However, now it seems to have lost some effectiveness."
King's Landing was no longer filled with these clandestine things because, in blood and fire, fire being power, dragons could breathe fire. In the gaze of their majesty, everything in King's Landing became apparent.
All conspiracies and tricks were less effective than a breath of dragon fire. Especially since Viserys, although prone to mistakes, kept a clear mind throughout.
When you possess absolute power and authority, conspiracies and tricks become things that can't be brought to the forefront.
Varys was originally adept at this, but now he felt at a loss. Especially when he always had the word 'loyalty' in his heart, he became more cautious.
Walking on thin ice.
Because only Varys knew that he had never been loyal to anyone, neither to Aerys II nor to Robert, nor to his current friend. Unfortunately, Illyrio did not take his "old friend's" words to heart.
"Have you forgotten our original dreams?" Illyrio.
"Varys."
The Pentoshi man with yellow forked beard heard a displeased tone.
"Have you forgotten?"
Illyrio took a deep breath. Although he could confirm that the great Emperor had left on a dragon, thinking about his actions in recent years still made him feel fearful. When the words reached his mouth and he turned his head left and right, he reconsidered. However, Varys gave him a glance, seeming to be taken aback, and a sense of anger rose in his heart.
He did not continue to pay attention to the other party but left with his hands in his sleeves and hurried footsteps.
Viserys rode on Balerion and left King's Landing. Over the years, the Black Dragon's size had changed significantly. Although he had passed the early rapid growth period, similar to a human child, growing rapidly during the growth period, when he reached adulthood or passed the growth period, he stopped growing. This life would not grow again.
However, dragons differed from humans in that their lifespans were longer, and their adult times were not as long as humans. Generally, they reached maturity at around sixteen years. In just ten years or so, dragons could grow from a young dragon to an adult dragon.
Moreover, even if they became adult dragons, their bodies would not stop growing. It just slowed down a lot. The scales covering their huge bodies became rougher and tougher with age. The older the dragon, the thicker the scales. Even high-explosive giant crossbows could not penetrate the scales of adult dragons from a long distance.
This stage marked the true growth of dragons into 'lords of the sky.'
They had no natural enemies, no threats. The dragon flames they spewed also rose in temperature, melting stubborn rocks. The color would change accordingly with their body color as they entered adulthood.
For example, the dragon flame breathed by Balerion now had reached a deep purple, almost completely evolving into the 'Black Dread.'
His brother Rhaego spewed green dragon flame, and Viserion spewed platinum dragon flame.
If these dragon flames were accompanied by magic, they might be able to forge black stone buildings because they had reached the corresponding temperature. However, there was no corresponding method, and Viserys had not tried it yet.
At this moment, the distant sun gradually sank into the sea.
The Black Dragon Balerion spread his wings and flew over the boundless sea. Countless ships were traversing the sea, and the crew on the ships looked up at the giant dragon in the sky, unable to help but exclaim. Then they heard the roar of the dragon resounding in the sky, spreading far with the sea breeze.
