Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 54: Ten Thousand Dollars and Two Thousand Jin of Lemons
Daenerys is watching the fire.

The flames burned on the magician's shiny black arms, and were then rolled onto the strange torch in his hand. The magician drank strong liquor, opened his mouth and spurted out tongues of fire that exploded in the air, causing the guests to exclaim.

Daenerys' eyes were fixed on the flames, fascinated.

"Very pretty, isn't it?"

A voice sounded to Dany's left, and she turned to see a dark-skinned monk in a red robe. He had tangled, bone-white hair on his face, like lion hair, and tattoos of red flames on his cheeks and forehead.

The red monk was looking at Dany with calm eyes and gentle voice.

Danny didn't respond. She looked at Butch.

Butch stepped forward, blocking his view of Daenerys.

Qiao La came forward and said, "Mr. Monk, my lady likes quietness, please don't disturb her."

"I see," the strange red-robed monk said calmly, "I saw you in the flames, honorable lady." He spoke with a strange rhythm, like a prophecy and a prayer, "Just now, in the flames, I saw you."

Dany frowned.

Jorah stepped forward and grabbed his arm, urging him to leave: "Please leave. We don't need wizards to tell fortunes here."

"Red clouds hang high in the sky, listen to the roar of the beast." The red-robed monk was pushed by Jorah, but he still calmly narrated his prophecy, "You will go east, the light is your direction, you will pass through the shadows, to arouse the fire, burning fiercely!"

The strange words of the red-robed monk frightened Dany. She hid behind Butch and secretly watched the monk. He was pushed away by Jorah, but his face was still calm and gentle, even pious. When he finished his prayer-like prophecy and lowered his eyes, he turned away without looking at Dany again, and finally disappeared among the guests in the banquet hall.

Dany took a sip of the drink in her cup and said nothing.

Jorah stepped forward and said, "Miss, don't pay attention to these wizards, they just want to cheat you out of your money."

"Thank you," Dany said to Jorah, and then said nothing more.

Jorah felt that Daenerys's reaction was strange, so he shut up and stood back beside her to guard her.

After a while, Viserys returned to the banquet hall, looking rather distraught.

Daenerys looked at Viserys with some concern.

Viserys drank his glass of wine in silence.

Jorah thought.

Not long after, a team of servants entered the banquet hall carrying several large boxes covered with white cloth. The boxes made constant clanging noises as they were carried, and were finally placed in the middle of the hall.

The guests' attention was immediately drawn to it.

Following closely, another team of servants brought in bags of fruit. Someone smelled the sweet scent, which was lemon.

When everyone was wondering what new steps the banquet would take at this point, a powdered eunuch stood in the middle of the banquet hall, holding a paper tube with a tin seal in his hand. He gently peeled off the tin seal, slowly opened the paper tube, and announced in a high-pitched and sweet voice in front of everyone: "Rogar Silus, Lord of Tyrosh, today loaned Viserys Targaryen III of the Targaryen family, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the 'First Men', Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, ten thousand -"

The eunuch paused before continuing, "Tyrosh copper coins of full value, and two thousand kilograms of fresh lemons."

The eunuch's high-pitched tail voice echoed in the banquet hall.

The servants who had been prepared lifted the white cloth and opened the large boxes one by one, revealing the boxes filled with red brass coins.

The red brass coin gleamed under the brilliant lights of the banquet hall.

The eunuch took back the paper tube, nodded to everyone in the banquet hall, and then walked straight to a corner of the banquet hall where Viserys and his party were.

Everyone's eyes followed the eunuch and fell on them.

Viserys looked ashamed and angry.

Daenerys looked confused.

Jorah flushed.

Butch deadpanned.

"No!" Viserys shouted at the approaching eunuch, as if he were filled with shame and indignation. "No, no! He promised to lend me the money, he promised! How can this be possible? How can this be possible!"

The eunuch came closer and made a gesture to hand him the paper tube: "Please sign the contract."

"No!" Viserys grabbed Dany, as if he could not bear such humiliation. He pulled Dany and walked quickly past the eunuchs and the crowd of onlookers towards the door. "Never!" They walked quickly through the marble corridor of the mansion, trotted through the garden with fountains, and hurried out of the mansion of the Lord of Tyrosh.

Jorah and Butch followed closely behind.

Behind them came the servants of the house, carrying clanking boxes and bags full of fragrant lemon-like fruits, and they followed behind, led by the pale-faced eunuch.

Viserys had a gloomy face and pulled Dany all the way quickly. After a quarter of an hour, they walked directly from the Grand Lord's Mansion to the port dock.

Under the strange gazes of the boatmen and sailors at the Night Harbor of Tyrosh, Viserys arrived at the dock where the Thagurion was docked, called down the long ladder in the dark, and boarded the ship directly.

After Jorah got on the deck, he looked back and couldn't help saying, "My lord, they are following us."

Viserys paused on the deck and uttered an odd sigh. "Let them come up."

The eunuch was sweating profusely, his face was smudged with makeup, and he was panting heavily. Then he held up the contract and said, "Please sign the contract."

Viserys walked over with a grim face, grabbed the contract and tore it into pieces.

The eunuch bent over to catch his breath, stood up straight, and took out another one from his pocket: "Please sign the contract. Our Lord of Tyrosh has always been honest to others. If he said he would lend you money, he must lend you money."

Jorah almost put his hand on the sword he had urgently taken from the gate guard when he left the house of the Lord of Tyrosh.

"Yes, yes, yes." Viserys took the contract. "Pen!"

The eunuch pulled a quill from his sleeve.

Viserys casually spread out the contract, scribbled his name on it, and handed it back to the eunuch. "Is that all?"

The eunuch took the contract back, looked at the signature, and smiled. Finally, he took out another contract from his arms and said, "There are two copies. I'll take the signed one back. As for this one, you can do it yourself." Finally, he called out to the servants who had been chasing all the way and were now sweating and panting on the deck, "Come on, deliver the things to the guest room. We will serve you from beginning to end."

When the eunuch and servants got off the ship, Captain Grolet rushed to the bottom of the Sedulion, panting.

According to the original plan, they would leave Tyrosh at noon tomorrow, so only the first mate and half of the sailors would stay on the ship to guard at night. The first mate didn't understand what had happened just now and couldn't make up his mind, so he sent someone to call the captain out of his mistress's bed.

But when Grolai arrived, the farce had already ended.

Grolet boarded the ship.

Arriving at Viserys's suite aboard the merchant ship.

At the door stood Jorah, whose face still showed anger, and Butch, whose face was expressionless.

Grolai winked at Jorah, but Jorah ignored him. He looked at Butch again, but Butch didn't even look at him. Grolai thought about it again and again, and decided that it would be better to just leave without caring about what happened.

But then the door opened.

Viserys' face darkened. "The captain is here too. That's great. I was just about to send Jorah to find you. Tell your crew to leave Tyrosh early tomorrow morning!" He turned and said, "Jorah, Butch, you two go to the inn and check out. Let Ani pack up and return to the ship." Finally, he called to Jorah, "Give me back the dagger."

Jorah returned the dagger he had brought back with him.

Bang.

The door is closed.

Grole and Jora looked at each other. Butch took a step forward, as if he was going to do what he was told.

After everyone outside the door left, Dany asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Viserys motioned for Dany to be quiet, walked solemnly to the box of copper coins, and waved his hand for her to come closer.

Dany walked over in confusion, and Viserys opened a box in silence. He pushed away the copper coins on the floating layer and found the wooden board between the boxes.

He didn't open it himself. Instead, he looked at Daenerys, who seemed to understand something, and tilted his head to signal her to open it.

Dany swallowed hard.

She carefully pried open the compartment.

Brilliant, dazzling golden light filled her entire vision.
