Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

“This is a very rare talent, my sir, you don’t need to be alarmed by it.”

"I wonder how many people want to acquire such talent but have no way to do so."

"Furthermore, it seems that you have also become aware of this power within your eyes."

Although the woman was ugly, she undoubtedly possessed extraordinary wit and a talent for sophistry.

Through her meticulous observation, she saw the expression on Viserys's face and deduced that he had long been aware of the magical power in his eyes, but was simply shocked that she had discovered it all.

The woman looked at Viserys and, without waiting for him to speak, added again.

"I believe you now understand that I have no ill intentions towards you."

The woman was also curious about Viserys's identity.

She had sensed the extraordinary power in the child's eyes when they first met.

Then he kept hiding and secretly observing Viserys.

During this time, she saw people who were clearly Braavos officials accompanying Viserys, as well as a skilled water dancer swordsman instructing the boy in swordsmanship.

What kind of noble young master could have these people by his side?

Then, on the last day, when she tried to approach Viserys in an attempt to uncover the secrets the boy carried, she was discovered by his guards.

The woman struggled and resisted, but was still captured by the soldiers and brought before the boy.

However, this also gave the woman the opportunity to have a direct conversation with the boy.

"Is that so?"

Viserys was momentarily panicked when he heard that the woman had discovered his secret.

However, she quickly calmed down.

Then he heard the woman's excuse, saying that she had no intention of kidnapping him, and the boy's brows furrowed slightly.

Then his gaze fell on the rope and dagger that had been thrown to the ground.

There was no ill intent...

What was the purpose of sneaking up on me with something in tow?

Chapter 64 Miri Maz Thur

"this..."

Viserys's face clearly showed disbelief.

Following his gaze, she saw the dagger and rope lying on the ground, and the woman's expression turned slightly embarrassed.

With this irrefutable evidence, it will probably be difficult for her to explain herself clearly.

She actually...

They really did come to kidnap Viserys.

Because she wanted to uncover the secrets hidden within this boy, to a witch, Viserys's radiance was like a pearl in the night, as tempting as a starving prisoner seeing a piece of fragrant roasted meat.

So from the very first day she discovered the power Viserys possessed, she began to meticulously plan.

The woman secretly observed the boy's every move without being noticed by the perceptive water dancer swordsman, and also evaded the guards' vigilance.

Her rudimentary plan was indeed just as the soldier had just said.

The merchant ship had been docked in Pentos for several days and was preparing to set sail for Braavos this morning.

Then, seizing the last moments before the merchant ship set sail, she tied up the little boy before he woke up, stuffed him into a bag, and escaped off the ship.

Once the merchant ship leaves the port, even if the guards discover the boy is missing, it won't be easy to get the ship to turn back to Pentos.

And this is a back-and-forth process.

Even though the boy's family was very powerful and had the ability to order merchant ships to return, she had already integrated the child into this densely populated city-state.

Although Pentos had officially banned the slave trade after his defeat in the war against Braavos, it was only a formality, and the slave trade continued to flourish in private.

She planned that after uncovering the boy's secrets, she could then sell him to greedy slave traders.

Judging by the boy's handsome appearance alone, many wealthy businessmen and ladies would like this type of guy, and he could probably fetch a good price.

But by then she had already fled back to her hometown with the secret of magic and money.

but...

The woman's plan was excellent and well-thought-out, but her somewhat clumsy body prevented her from stealthily approaching.

She even tried to hide behind a pillar that was only as thick as a baby's arm, which was an insult to the intelligence of the Dragonstone guards.

He was later discovered, and despite his strong physique, he fought back against the soldiers, but was still captured.

...

"Let's just assume... I'll believe your excuse for now."

The atmosphere in the cabin was slightly awkward, but after a long silence, Viserys finally spoke in front of the woman.

"Now, tell me, why did you approach me?"

In fact, Viserys didn't believe a single word of the woman's sophistry.

But he didn't want to dwell on this matter too much; he was more concerned about how the other party would discover the hidden power in his eyes.

And, the other party's true purpose in approaching you.

"Of course I want to know how you reawakened your magical power."

The woman gazed into those pale purple eyes. Hearing Viserys's question, she knew this child was not someone easily deceived. Her mind raced as she considered a solution, but at the same time, she wisely confessed.

"The power of magic has appeared in many gaps in history, but it will also return at many times, like the ebb and flow of the tides."

"And at this moment, the power of magic is extremely weak, almost unusable."

At this moment, the woman was still sitting on the ground, but now she was sitting cross-legged. She gently scratched her messy hair and looked at Viserys as she began to explain.

"Yet you awakened the power of magic at this moment..."

Therefore, Viserys became particularly conspicuous, attracting the woman to sneak over.

Viserys listened to the woman's rambling, his face showing a slight bewilderment, because he couldn't understand a single word.

What else is there about magic... tides?

Knowing the future, Viserys certainly knew that magic existed in this world.

He even knew about the future 'Stars Weeping Blood', about the Warlock, about the Children of the Forest north of the Wall and the Green Prophet, and even about the Red Woman who gave birth to a shadow.

But he never expected that this chilling, mysterious power would suddenly appear before his eyes.

Viserys had always thought he was far from these mysterious things; he was currently just a trapped beast, unable to break free of his predicament, with a sword hanging over his head, destined to die when his time was up.

However, these things are now within reach, and have even come knocking on our door.

"Who exactly are you?"

After another moment of silence, a slightly deep boy's voice rang out.

His long blue hair cascaded over his shoulders, and his black velvet blouse with gold trim shone brightly in the sunlight.

Viserys stood in front of the woman, staring intently at her, as if trying to see through her true nature.

The woman spoke casually about occult knowledge that others could not know, and even made it sound a bit mysterious.

There are only two possibilities for such a person: either she is a complete fraud, or she may actually have some real skills.

“My name is Miri Maz Duer. I come from Lazar and am a Lazarin. This is a person of noble status.”

Since the woman had already revealed her purpose, she couldn't hide her identity for long, so she simply told everyone everything.

“My mother was a priestess in the temple of my hometown, and she always wanted to groom me to be her successor, teaching me songs and spells to please the High God of Pan, so I have some knowledge of magic.”

The woman named Mili explained her identity clearly in one go.

However, no one knows for sure whether this is all there is to her life.

Where is your hometown?

"Lazar?"

Viserys was taken aback by Miri's self-introduction.

He had previously learned some things about the continent of Essos. Although Lazar wasn't a very important place, Viserys had glanced at it when he was looking at the map and had some vague impression of it.

Now, Viserys recalled Lazar's location on the map and was shocked, because Lazar's hometown was extremely far away from where he was now.

Lazar is located south of the Dothraki Sea, bordering Slaver's Bay, and is close to the Red Wasteland and the Jade Sea.

Even the legendary Shadow Lands like Assassin are no longer far away.

"Your hometown is Lazar, how did you end up here?"

Chapter 65 Punishment

"I once consulted a doctor from the Citadel named Marwyn about the secrets of the human body and the common language of Westeros."

Mimi began to explain why she had ended up on the ship.

Then, as they were talking, the conversation shifted slightly, and the last sentence was spoken in the common language of Westeros.

The guard standing nearby listened to the two of them talking in a language for a long time, and finally understood one sentence, but he still looked blank.

After Miri finished speaking, she said something else, but this time even Viserys couldn't understand it, because she wasn't speaking Valyrian.

"We Lazarin people have our own language."

This time, Mili's voice was unusually calm.

“We love to sing, we revere nature, and our tribe lives by herding, so our god is the Supreme Shepherd.”

"However, in Dothraki we are called 'Hesirach,' which means 'goat people.'"

Miri Maz Duer was a Lazarin, and the fate of the Lazarins was not good; they were too far from happiness and too close to the Dothraki and Slave Bay.

The Dothraki frequently migrated south to destroy the Lazarin people's communities, taking their cattle, sheep, and wives.
