Game of Thrones: Dragons have three heads, not three-headed dragons.

After returning to his study, Oris began to carefully peruse the books his father had brought back. Most of the books were large, incomplete volumes containing myths and legends recorded in Valyrian, such as the god of death Berenion, the goddess of war Vaghar, the goddess of storms Miracis, and the goddess of fertility Syracuse, all of whom were widely worshipped in Valyria.

Most of the tattered notebooks record the history of the Belleris family and some unimportant election cases. The truly valuable one is a notebook that records the technology of making Variant steel, but its core contents have been destroyed. Judging from the remaining contents, the forging of real Variant steel weapons not only requires blood magic, but also the acquisition of a gem produced below the Fourteen Fire Peaks in the early stages. Only the combination of materials and forging can ensure that Variant steel products will last for thousands of years.

Several days passed, and as time went on, Oris gradually became impatient. Most of the manuscripts that Inis brought back were incomplete, and very few of them were truly valuable. It wasn't until Oris was reading a biography of his ancestor and turned to the last page that he found what he was looking for.

The Belleris family's unique ability, the Dragon Soul Spell that allowed them to maintain their position as a top-tier dragon king family, is a spell used to communicate with dragons. This spell doesn't require chanting; a single incantation allows direct communication with the dragon in one's mind, understanding its physical condition and thoughts, though it cannot convey overly complex information. The inheritance of the Dragon Soul Spell made the Belleris children exceptionally successful in dragon taming, and enabled them to achieve a telepathic connection with dragons in battle, enhancing their dragon knights' combat abilities. However, Auris didn't find detailed information about the Dragon Soul Spell in the description at the end of the manuscript, but this only fueled his determination to learn it.

Since the family went to great lengths to hide the books and dragon eggs, they must contain the core content of the Dragon Soul Spell. After carefully checking the manuscript for several days, Oris finally obtained the casting method of the Dragon Soul Spell from the hidden compartment of Jenina-Belleris's travelogue.

Its casting method is different from the blood sacrifice that Oris imagined. It is actually just a complex piece of high Valyrian language. When casting it, one needs to touch the forehead of a dragon with whom one has initially established trust, mobilize the magical power within the body, and then complete the casting of the Dragon Soul Spell.

After carefully reading the instructions on how to cast the Dragon Soul Spell, Oris put away the original copy, intending to give it to Daren when the opportunity arose. Although Oris discovered the Dragon Soul Spell, it was, after all, a legacy of the Belleris family, and Daren had the right to learn it.

For the next month, Oris immersed himself in the blacksmith's shop, using the captured steel and the surplus from the manor to completely re-equip the manor's soldiers. The 3000 swordsmen and shieldmen wore double-layered scale armor, and in addition to oak shields, they were equipped with straight swords and spears forged using the steel-forging method. The 2000 archers were equipped with straight swords in addition to composite bows and quivers.

The remaining 500 cavalrymen were the elite force that Oris had truly invested heavily in building. In addition to full-scale armor and helmets, the cavalrymen were also equipped with cloth armor for their horses. In terms of weapons, in addition to the standard lances, they were also equipped with crossbows and short guns, so that they could launch segmented attacks during assaults.

Oris was still enthusiastically leading the blacksmith in forging equipment when Darren and Pochi arrived, which called Oris out of the blacksmith shop. "Big brother, Uncle Namir and the others are back," Darren said.

Upon hearing this, Oris quickly took off his gloves and headed towards the dock, with Darren and Poch following closely behind. When Oris saw Uncle Namir again at the dock, he saw Namir and Rag dressed in gold and silver, looking like nouveau riche. Oris went straight up to them and asked, "Uncle Namir, how did it go? Did it go smoothly this time?"

Upon seeing Daren, Namir immediately said, "After we arrived in Braavos, we stayed at the Sea King's palace for a week before finally meeting him. I then relayed your words to him and gave him the sword. The Sea King was very pleased, gifting us some gold and silver. He also told me to contact him if I encountered any difficulties, and that he would send several ships to assist us." Oris, hearing Namir's account, became even more suspicious: the Sea King believed him so easily; it seemed far too easy.

Before Oris and Uncle Namir could chat for long, laughter and shouting erupted from the cabin. Oris looked at Rag in confusion, and Rag whispered in Oris's ear, "Viserys was fairly well-behaved in Braavos. After meeting the Sea King, he enjoyed himself in the Sea King's palace. He didn't want to leave at first, but my father and I forcibly dragged him away. When he left, the Sea King gave him two maids. On the ship he returned to, all he did was drink and do *that*."

After listening to Rag's words, Oris said that he was very calm. Viserys was not very smart to begin with. He had suffered for so many years, and even had to sell his mother's jewels to buy a few meals. Although he had no shortage of food and clothing while living with Illyrio and Oris, it was impossible for him to enjoy life more. It is only natural for a poor person to want to enjoy life more after suddenly becoming rich.

Oris ignored the follow-up issues and instead summoned Rag to his study, ordering him to recount in detail what had happened at the Sea King's palace. Knowing Oris was worried, Rag immediately recounted the events at the palace. For the first week, Rag and his companions did not see the Sea King; they were simply entertained by the palace staff. Aside from soaking in the hot springs and enjoying food and drinks, nothing else happened. The only notable incident was when Viserys encountered a dark-haired man in the hot springs. After a brief conversation, the dark-haired man disappeared without a word.

Oris inquired in detail about the black-haired man's appearance, and Rag replied, "Tall and well-proportioned, with black curly hair, he should be a Royna." Oris racked his brains but still couldn't figure out the man's identity, so he had to put it aside for the time being.

A week later, Aquaman received Uncle Namir and his party. Viserys didn't cause any trouble during this time and was mostly silent. When we explained the purpose of recruiting soldiers and the plan for the advance, Aquaman didn't react much and just told us to go back first. In the following days, he asked us some questions. Finally, after we gave Aquaman the sword and the gifts, he directly gave the sword to the chief swordsman.

"Was anything unusual during this time?" Oris asked. "Nothing unusual, except that the chief swordsman, Sirio, said that this sword was heavier than the usual steel swords. My father said it was because the steel was not very pure, so Sirio didn't ask any further questions."

There's not much to say about what happened after that, except for Viserys's romantic affairs, banquets, and farewells.
