Capítulo 293: Chapter 293: Exploring the Valyrian Ruins
"My love!"
Arianne, her upper body bare, sat at the head of the bed, watching Viserys deep in thought. She couldn't help but voice her concern.
"What exactly is that black mist?"
"Or... did I see it wrong?"
Arianne was somewhat doubtful, suspecting that she might be seeing things due to just waking up.
Viserys, interrupted by Arianne, looked up at her with a somewhat serious expression.
"Of course, it's some kind of divine power."
"Divine power?"
Arianne was slightly taken aback by Viserys's words, blinking her deep, beautiful eyes.
"Of course."
Viserys nodded as if it was a matter of course.
"You know, Arianne."
"I have been favored by the gods."
Rumors had always linked Viserys to a certain deity, mainly because the story of an eight-year-old wandering prince's struggle was too fantastical to believe.
The title of a genius and wise king seemed insufficient to express this exaggeration, so it was linked to the divine.
"What."
Arianne's mouth opened even wider at Viserys's words, making him slightly tempted.
Seeing Arianne's shocked face, as if she was about to believe him, Viserys finally dropped his serious expression, revealing a smile and shaking his head.
"Alright, I was just teasing you."
"Arianne."
The silver-haired young man smiled calmly, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, gently rubbing his fiancée's cheek.
"It's not divine power."
Then he saw Arianne, embarrassed, swat his hand away.
This annoying guy!
He's teasing me again!
Afterward, Viserys instructed Arianne to get up and stop lazing around in bed. He then put on his coat and left the room.
Arianne watched Viserys leave the room, her recent embarrassment slowly fading, her eyes sparkling.
"Black mist?"
The Dornish girl sat on the bed, her upper body bare.
She looked at the door that Viserys had closed after leaving, not minding her exposed chest.
A look of confusion appeared on her exotic face, her eyebrows slightly furrowed.
She didn't understand what Viserys had said earlier.
"And... divine power?"
When Viserys started talking about divine power, Arianne was truly taken aback.
She really thought Viserys had mastered some incredible ability because, in her view, Viserys's ability to control dragons was already a kind of divine power.
However, Viserys's subsequent words left her puzzled, not understanding what he was trying to say.
"Did I really see it wrong?"
Then, Arianne pondered for a moment.
She then called for her personal maid from Dorne to summon her trusted Sand Snake sisters.
The war was over, and Viserys's coming-of-age ceremony had also ended.
The father of the Sand Snake sisters, Prince Oberyn, was preparing to lead his army back to the Red Mountains soon.
These past few days, the Sand Snake sisters had been accompanying their father and stepmother, and hadn't visited Arianne for several days.
They were all Arianne's 'family'.
As the eldest of the Sand Snake sisters, Arianne trusted them implicitly, so she would always choose to consult them when she had a problem.
Meanwhile, in the palace corridor.
Tap, tap.
The sound of footsteps was clear.
"Your Majesty."
A servant saw Viserys and quickly stepped aside to let him pass, bowing in respect.
Two guards followed Viserys, who was dressed in a soft robe
with a golden belt, his silver-gold hair freely cascading down. The smile he had worn earlier had faded somewhat.
He chose not to hide the truth about the black mist from Arianne.
His answers were somewhat vague, as he himself didn't know the correct answer.
The existence of the black mist was one of his most important secrets, second only to the fact that he was not from this world, but from another.
However, since the black mist could one day be seen by Arianne, there was no point in continuing to hide it.
Sooner or later, more people would know about it in the future.
This might be a special effect brought about by all his attributes reaching the extraordinary.
However, it seemed that if Viserys intentionally concealed it, others could not see it.
At that time, Viserys had carefully observed Arianne's facial expression. After he came back to his senses, she could no longer see the black mist lingering around him.
"What exactly is this black mist?"
"Perhaps one day, exploring the Valyrian ruins will give me an answer."
Viserys thought to himself.
He had had this idea a long time ago.
Many clues could prove that the black mist lingering around him must have a deep connection with the Valyrian ruins.
And since he had obtained the map left by Gerion Lannister, plus the need to unravel the mystery of his body.
Viserys was almost certain that he would have to personally visit the Valyrian ruins one day in the future.
However, whether he would go there as a conqueror with thousands of warships and tens of thousands of troops, or alone, riding a dragon into the smoking sea, was unknown.
But one thing was certain.
"I must be prepared." Although Gerion was able to escape from the Valyrian ruins, this did not prove anything.
Because all the people who went with him were dead, it seemed that only he was the lucky one, but in the end, he also died at the hands of Viserys.
Viserys didn't want to gamble on luck, and he never gambled on fate, because that was a very dangerous move.
The terror of the Valyrian ruins is like a man-eating mouth that is always open. Every resident living along the coast or sailors passing by knows this very well.
There is a vast smoking sea, shrouded in fog all day long.
Once a ship mistakenly enters the gray fog of the smoking sea, it rarely reappears.
The smoking sea is a forbidden place for sailors.
Most of the adventurers who went to explore the Valyrian ruins didn't even touch that mysterious and ancient land, and were buried in the sea.
Even those who were lucky enough to reach that land and return safely seemed to be cursed with certain death and died one after another.
Even the Black Dread at its peak was attacked by an unknown entity in the Valyrian ruins, seriously injured, and finally escaped from there.
Viserys, if he were to go, would definitely take Balerion with him.
Because Gerion's diary clearly stated that there were hidden sea monsters in the sea, riding a dragon to fly over from the sky is a special convenience.
However, Viserys still needs to be wary of the existence that can injure a dragon.
