Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Viserys pulled the girl to hide in the shadows, his pupils contracting slightly as he watched the scene in the distance.

"How is this possible?"

"Are they alive?"

"No... no, they're already dead."

He saw rows of 'soldiers' covered in black hair.

Their faces were no longer clearly visible, covered by black hair that obscured their noses and mouths; only a pair of scarlet eyes were clearly visible.

They were wearing tattered armor and carrying weapons, patrolling the palace interior in a methodical manner, as if controlled by something, repeating the same routine endlessly, seemingly never tiring.

And they were emanating a black mist that was extremely familiar to Viserys.

"These monsters...were all human in their previous lives?"

Mia lay down beside Viserys and asked in a low voice with disbelief.

The two of them smeared a lot of monster blood on their bodies, which temporarily suppressed the aura of living beings on them and served as a form of concealment.

This was experience the two had gained through constant pursuit and hunting. Now, Mia's injuries had healed considerably, and she no longer needed Viserys to carry her; she could walk independently.

"Obviously."

Viserys lowered his voice and spoke with a furrowed brow.

Monsters don't wear armor.

Viserys had previously speculated that these monsters might be former Valyrian inhabitants or their descendants, who had been cursed or undergone changes he could not imagine.

They eventually turned into mindless, black-haired monsters.

Chapter 341 Stone?

Now it seems that Viserys's guess was correct. These were not monsters, but living people, though perhaps they can no longer be called people now.

They have lost their minds and have been completely manipulated into ravenous monsters, devouring anyone who tries to uncover the mysteries of this lost civilization.

However, Viserys is more concerned about something else right now.

“These people are different from the black-haired monsters on the periphery... they must have been Valyrian soldiers in their previous lives.”

Viserys saw the armor they wore, which, though tattered, was still more durable than ordinary clothing.

They were all shrouded in black mist, which reminded Viserys of the black mist he had infused into Bessie and Mia.

Were they also injected with this black mist before they died?

Who did this?

Their lord? Or the Valyrian gods?

Bellerion, Miracis, or Wahagel?

Or perhaps it's something Viserys doesn't yet understand at all, and he knows absolutely nothing about it.

But now Viserys is in trouble, as a group of neatly arranged Valyrian soldiers are heading towards where he and Mia are hiding.

The two of them happened to be blocking the direction the patrol was heading.

"Were they really... all human beings?"

"How did it come to this?"

Mia lay beside Viserys, clearly still somewhat incredulous.

Because those black-haired monsters have completely lost their humanity, leaving only a thirst for flesh and blood.

If these people were all former Valyrian soldiers, then the monsters roaming the outskirts of the city, the wolves that can walk upright, the fish that can run on land, the monsters in the blood-red river...

Were they all once animals?

The remaining hierarchy of life on this lost continent is so clearly defined, from animals to the rulers of humanity.

"If they are really Valyrian soldiers, then they must be being controlled by something."

Despite the impending danger, Viserys remained calm. He glanced at the Valyrian soldiers approaching in his direction, then took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.

"Now there are two options."

"Mia."

Viserys turned to look at the girl beside him, and Mia also looked up at him with a determined gaze.

The rest is self-explanatory.

The silver-haired youth nodded slightly.

"okay, I get it."

Snapped--

Then he suddenly grabbed the girl's shoulder, and with a whoosh, the two of them instantly turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared from the spot.

The next second, the patrol of monster guards paused slightly at the spot where Viserys and Mia had just landed, a clear look of confusion on their faces, though it wasn't quite visible under their black fur.

After a brief pause, as if the machine had crashed, the group of soldiers resumed their patrols within the palace, continuing their age-old routine.

Not long after Viserys and his companion disappeared, they appeared in a side hall of this magnificent palace.

Valyria's architectural style is quite unique, a blend of styles from all over the world, incorporating the best of many. The architecture of all the civilizations they conquered can be found in this city.

Furthermore, Valyria's architectural stone carving techniques were extremely advanced, which was one of the things the Valantis Tiger Party hoped to obtain on this trip.

Despite the horrific apocalyptic catastrophe and the passage of hundreds of years, many buildings in the Valyrian capital have been preserved.

Viserys and Mia explored the dimly lit side hall carefully, using the faint moonlight outside as their guide.

Fortunately, there were no monsters in this side hall, but nothing of value was found either. Most of the items were artifacts from the Valyrian period, along with some gems and gold, and the rest were mostly decayed.

These items, if taken out casually, would be priceless treasures.

However, Viserys was more concerned with other things than money, and he couldn't easily take so much with him.

The two then left the side hall and continued exploring along the corridor, passing through a dilapidated and overgrown garden.

Fortunately, there are no monsters patrolling here.

The two walked through the garden and followed a path leading to a half-broken tower.

"This appears to be a place where the owner of this palace once rested."

The interior of this partially collapsed tower was lavishly decorated, with decaying, ornate carpets and tattered silks.

The two cautiously explored the area and then climbed the steps, only to encounter a black-haired monster crouching on the ceiling.

The enemy was clearly different from the controlled Valyrian soldiers, and instead resembled some of the monsters on the outskirts of the city.

It seems that this black mist is extremely precious and not everyone is qualified to possess it. The Valyrian soldiers patrolling the palace were once the personal guards of a powerful family that lived here.

Perhaps this family is even stronger than the Targaryen family once was, after all, among the forty noble and ancient families of Valyria, the Targaryens have always been the 'underachievers'.

The monster let out a strange cry and pounced down, seemingly surprised that a living creature had actually come to this place.

Although Viserys and his companion were caught off guard, they still managed to defeat their opponent.

Fortunately, the commotion caused by the other side was not significant and did not attract the attention of the patrolling soldiers outside.

On the second floor of the broken tower, there is a spacious bedroom, and at the entrance hall is a metal object that looks like a family crest.

The carving above appears to depict a person herding sheep, and Valyria seems to have originated from a semi-pastoral people.

However, although Viserys did not recognize the pattern, that did not stop him from searching the room.

The bookshelves inside the room were rotten, and the books on them had become extremely fragile due to the passage of time.

Viserys carefully searched for any potentially valuable books and then carefully put them away.

On the other side...

Mia was also rummaging through the house.

The bedroom was spacious and beautifully decorated. The fireplace was spotless, except for a lot of accumulated dust. In the center was a large bed that could fit three people, but it had collapsed.

"Ok?"

At that moment, Mia noticed a dark box that seemed to be faintly visible under the collapsed bed.

"what is this?"

The girl then walked over, opened the box, reached inside, touched it, and then paused slightly in surprise.

Because she felt like she had touched something...

A large, round rock?

Chapter 342 Dragon Egg

“Viserys…”

And at this time.

The girl's voice suddenly rang out in the silent room, startling Viserys, who was engrossed in searching for information about the 'Black Mist'.

"Ok?"

Viserys slightly raised his head and glanced at her, only to see her squatting among the messy clutter under the bed, with a box in front of her.

She looked at the contents of the box, a strange expression on her face.

"Mia, what's wrong?"

Viserys asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I think I've found... a few stones? Would you like to come and take a look?"

Mia looked at the five round stones in the box and spoke somewhat uncertainly.

She didn't think a noble Valyrian would keep five beautiful large stones under his bed in his bedroom.

However she looked at them, they looked like five stones.

These five stones are indeed very beautiful, with a surface that looks like it's covered with a layer of hard scales, reflecting light slightly.
