However, unlike before, this raven, which can summon storms and is called the Storm God by the Iron People, is a true deity. Even though it has been suppressed for thousands of years and its soul has weakened to the extreme, it is still not an easy opponent.
A fierce battle of souls erupted between Viserys and it, precisely when Mirasis, Jon Clinton, and Reyne saw Viserys's brow furrow and his body crackling with lightning.
Viserys, with the power he gained from absorbing the Old Gods and the hidden strength brought by the mysterious black mist, eventually defeated the raven that could summon storms.
However, the other party did not choose to grant Viserys's wish, but instead dispersed most of its divine soul and ultimately disappeared from this world completely.
Viserys absorbed a portion of the raven's remnant soul, which transformed into black mist that entered his body. Apart from his mental strength reaching the thirty-nine limit, all his other attributes suddenly increased dramatically.
However, these were only a small part of his gains. His greatest gain was the ancient, white raven skull before him, now stripped of its former glamour.
Viserys placed his hand on the raven skull, and then he heard a faint rumbling sound coming from outside the Red Keep's cellars.
"It's raining?"
...
Rene's blush hadn't completely faded as she ran out of the Red Keep's cellar. She didn't know what had gotten into her, why she had suddenly been so impulsive as to kiss Viserys.
However, she immediately regretted it, but didn't know what to do, so she could only blush and run away.
But when Renis ran out, the sky above her head was still bright and sunny. In the short time that she was slightly stunned, the sky over King's Landing suddenly darkened.
Rumbling--
Dark clouds gathered without warning, followed by a loud clap of thunder that startled the brown-haired girl. A downpour immediately followed.
What's going on with this rain?
"it's wired."
"How can you just leave like that?"
Renes, unaware of what had happened, could only hurriedly lift her skirt and run into the corridor where she could take shelter from the rain.
Chapter 714 The Dorne Mission
And there are many other King's Landing citizens who are just as strange as Renis.
Because the rain came so suddenly, just moments ago the sky was clear and blue, but in an instant the rain poured down, and countless innocent passersby were caught off guard and soaked to the bone.
Dark clouds loomed over the city, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, creating a scene resembling the end of the world.
"what happened?"
The Imperial Palace atop Aegon Hill, the highest point in King's Landing.
Princess Dorn, whose husband had become Queen, stood on the balcony of Megalos, holding her daughter Diana, looking at the torrential rain outside the window, a hint of worry on her face.
Because anyone could see that this rain was unusual; it was not the effect of normal climate change, as if a giant hand was manipulating things from behind.
A person who can control the climate?
Is this even human?
Arianne has Dorne blood, so her skin is slightly darker and her eyes are deep. However, she has a slender waist and a very full figure. Giving birth did not have a significant impact on her figure.
Holding her daughter in her arms, her mind wandered, considering the potential impact of the heavy rain.
Some might criticize her husband for this, since natural disasters and man-made calamities are often related to the inaction of kings and emperors, such as angering the gods.
This kind of ability is something only gods could possess.
Meanwhile, Arianne was also worried about her father.
Viserys had ordered her father, Prince Doran, to come to King's Landing to personally explain the rebellion of Skyrim and some of the Dornish lords, and now her father was coming by ship, and judging by the time it took, he should be arriving in King's Landing soon.
If we were to encounter such a large storm, it could be quite dangerous.
Arianne pondered these messy things, then sighed with worry.
"I hope nothing bad will happen."
What do you think, Diana?
Then Arianne looked down at her daughter, who was fast asleep in her arms. She had been up and fussing all night, and now, in the early afternoon, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open.
However, children don't have worries or pressures and can fall asleep whenever they want, which makes Arianne a little envious. The thunder and lightning outside the window couldn't wake the little princess. She gently kissed Diana's cheek and then turned and went into the room.
However, Arianne never imagined that this heavy rain might be Viserys's doing.
Therefore, this torrential rain came and went quickly.
Just moments ago, dark clouds loomed over the city, giving the impression of the end of the world. Thick lightning bolts streaked across the sky, and although it was only afternoon, it felt like midnight, with visibility almost zero.
Some of the people of King's Landing were filled with unease, and the monks in the Great Cathedral of St. Baelor were terrified, constantly kowtowing and praying, not knowing what had happened, thinking they had done something to offend the gods.
However, not long after, the heavy rain stopped abruptly, just as it had come. Shortly afterward, the thick clouds overhead dissipated, and the sun, which had been hiding behind them, reappeared, its brilliant rays shining once again on the cleansed streets of King's Landing.
Even the foul stench of King's Landing's lower city has dissipated considerably. Viserys had previously ordered funds to be allocated to upgrade the city's entire sewer system during a siege, demanding that King's Landing's air pollution problem be resolved.
However, modifying the sewer system is not actually that easy, and King's Landing is a very large and densely populated city, so it will take much longer.
...
"Can this device control the weather?"
When Viserys emerged from the Red Keep's cellar, watching the thick gloom above gradually dissipate and the sunlight once again bathe the earth, he then turned his gaze back to the raven's head in his hand.
"To be precise, it can summon storms."
Jon Clinton asked with some excitement, because as a former commander of the Targaryen army, he certainly understood how incredible it would be to have a treasure that could control the wind and rain.
Viserys, however, was much calmer than Jon Clinton. He frowned slightly as he looked at the raven skull in his palm, pondering how to use it to its fullest potential.
However, there is no doubt that this is an absolutely incredible treasure in this world, especially in naval battles. It can summon storms to destroy enemy fleets and also disperse storms encountered by one's own forces.
This turned the sea into flat land, allowing the Targaryen fleet to sail to any corner of the world.
...
A few days later.
That brief storm became the hottest topic in King's Landing, with people expressing their opinions and having their own thoughts.
Some believe that evil magic is being experimented with in King's Landing, pointing the finger at a certain bachelor at the Imperial Medical Academy who has an independent laboratory.
Because it was recently revealed that some unidentified corpses were transported to his laboratory for horrific autopsies, for the followers of the Seven Gods, desecrating corpses is an absolutely unforgivable crime.
Others believe it is the work of witches, ghosts, or even the Seven Gods who are dissatisfied with the Emperor, since the continent of Westeros is now filled with heretics.
But no one considered it a normal weather phenomenon, because it was something that even the maesters in King's Landing could not explain.
Dr. Ambrose even wrote a letter to Oldtown to inquire with his friend, Dr. 'Vinegar' Verin, an astronomy expert, but has yet to receive a reply.
As the capital of the empire, King's Landing's inhabitants naturally had enough to eat and wear, thus having plenty of time to gossip and pass the time.
However, every topic eventually gets tiresome, and since people were just speculating without any follow-up stories, their attention was quickly drawn to another piece of news.
That is, the Dornish delegation that had been rumored to be coming to King's Landing for a long time has finally arrived.
Among them was a very important figure, whose high status was evident simply from the guards of this mission: Doran Namelos Martell, Prince of Dorne, the Emperor's father-in-law.
He was about to come before the Iron Throne to personally explain the reasons for the Dornish rebellion, and the large ship he was aboard, flying the Martell flag, had just entered Blackwater Bay.
At this moment, Quentin Martell, the eldest son of the Martell family, was riding a warhorse, accompanied by a dozen Unsullied guards drawn from the palace.
Tyrion Lannister, the Emperor's personal advisor, Davos Seaworth, the Port Master of King's Landing and the Imperial Customs Master, were also present, waiting together to welcome Prince Doran.
Chapter 715 Prince Doran
However, Oberyn and Arianne were not present at the welcoming ceremony.
Because Oberon is now a high-ranking official in the Imperial Council, he needs to avoid any appearance of impropriety with his brother, so he did not appear at the welcoming ceremony.
Arianne's status was elevated because of Viserys; although she was the daughter of Prince Doran, she was also the Empress of the Empire, a model of virtue for all.
Not to mention that Prince Doran is no longer qualified to have his daughter personally greet him, he even has to sit in his wheelchair and bow to Ariane when he sees her.
Meanwhile, many other King's Landing citizens were also watching from the harbor of Blackwater Bay. They were working nearby and only stopped what they were doing when they saw the Martell banner.
"Pull over!"
"Pull over!"
"anchor!"
The large ship, flying the golden spear flag, was quickly and successfully moored at its berth under the direction of the port staff at Blackwater Bay. Then, wooden planks were lowered to connect the pier and the ship for passengers to board and disembark.
Tyrion, representing the royal family, and Davos, representing the port authorities, exchanged a glance before quickly walking up to the deck.
Quentin Martell, the young heir to Dorne, had already spurred his horse to the ship, dismounted, and was accompanied by a dozen Unsullied soldiers.
Not long after, the sound of a wheelchair rolling finally came from the deck of the cabin. A tall and burly man stood imposingly in front of the deck, holding a six-foot-long giant axe. Although his hair was already gray, anyone who underestimated him because of his age would surely pay a heavy price.
His gaze swept coldly over the welcoming crowd below, holding a giant axe, yet he remained silent.
"What a formidable general!"
"My lord, could he be Prince Daolang?"
The squire following Tyrion couldn't help but ask a question, but was glanced at by his master.
"As far as I know, Prince Lang has to use a wheelchair due to gout and other reasons, and has not made a public appearance for many years."
The man before them was clearly not Prince Doran. However, in King's Landing, Dornish people were known as barbarians, and there were even rumors that they ate children alive. Therefore, it was not surprising that someone might mistake this burly man for Prince Doran.
However, a Dornish soldier then appeared on the deck pushing a wheelchair. Sitting in the wheelchair was a middle-aged man with gray hair and a thin build. He was wearing a magnificent brocade robe and had the emblem of the Sunspear of the Martell family of Sunspear on his shoulder.
The middle-aged man had some wrinkles on his forehead. His skin tone didn't have the salty features of Oberyn and Arianne, perhaps because he rarely saw the sun. His eyes were deep and he was calmly looking down at the welcoming crowd below.
"Father!"
Upon seeing Prince Doran appear, Quentin Martell, as the eldest son, quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Prince Doran nodded slightly, and the Dornish soldiers behind him who were pushing the wheelchair pushed him off the deck and onto the harbor pier.
"My son."
When Prince Dolan saw his son, a slight ripple appeared in his usually calm eyes. Quentin had grown considerably taller and more robust since he left Yangji City, and his speech was also more composed than before.
It seems that Quentin has also grown somewhat in King's Landing, following his sister. Although Prince Doran was satisfied, his voice remained calm and his face was expressionless.
"Prince Daolang".
