Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

Does this symbolize that the moment the demonic tide returned?

A slight gloom settled over Viserys's heart. This was all still in the making, though perhaps some initial signs of trouble had already begun.

However, when that time truly comes, the world will reveal its most mysterious side.

Viserys may also face more unpredictable enemies, and his advantage of foresight will gradually disappear.

"If magic exists, then what about gods?"

“Miri”.

"The Seven Gods, the Old Gods, the Drowned God, Rahlo, the Black Goat God, including the High Shepherd, and so on..."

Although he wasn't famous, Viserys, out of respect, added the name of the High Shepherd worshipped by the Lazarim, and then couldn't help but ask.

Do these gods also exist?

Splash...

The shackles rattled.

Mimi remained silent for a long time when faced with the boy's question, perhaps because the question was difficult for her, but she finally spoke up.

"Perhaps."

"His Majesty."

More than half a month has passed, and Miri, who has been by Viserys's side, has long since learned of his true Targaryen identity.

While shocked, I also felt it was only natural; perhaps such a noble bloodline could hold unfathomable secrets.

However, upon learning this secret, she also realized that escaping would not be so easy.

Although she doesn't want to leave now, if she does want to leave one day, she might face the risk of being silenced by this seemingly harmless boy.

"Although no one has ever seen His true face."

"However, the radiance of the gods influences this world at all times. Rather than dividing the world by countries, city-states, or races, it would be more appropriate to divide it by the faith in the gods."

"I believe... this is the true nature of this world."

The people on the ship could already see the Titans standing on the earth in the distance.

The statue, cast in stone and bronze, stands with its feet on two separate islands, one hand holding aloft a broken sword, and its empty eyes burning with fierce flames.

They were quite far apart, and I could only see a blurry shadow.

The people on the ship even seemed to faintly hear the roar of the Titans, and then they began to cheer and jump for joy.

They celebrated that their long journey was finally coming to an end, and that they had successfully made it through the voyage alive.

Inside the cabin.

Viserys felt a slight chill run down his spine as he listened to the cheers outside, then took a deep breath and spoke.

"So, you mean..."

Is the essence of this world a struggle between gods?

Chapter 67 Arrival

Viserys' conversation with the priestess Miri was profound, deepening the boy's understanding of the world. Before, it was shrouded in mist, but now it was gradually dissipating, and he could vaguely see some outlines.

But what is truly hidden in the fog may still be a long way off.

But outside the home...

The merchant ships that had traveled across the ocean finally passed between the legs of the Titan, Braavos' most famous landmark, and a faint rumbling sound seemed to come from the sky, like the Titan's roar.

Then the merchant ship officially entered the territory of the giant city-state of Braavos.

wow-

Merchant ships cut through the waves, sails billowing, oarsmen rowing with their oars; if one were standing on the deck at this moment, one could witness this breathtakingly prosperous scene.

Countless ships sail through this city composed of hundreds of islands, with stone arch bridges connecting these small islands. The endless sails make the vast bay seem somewhat crowded, bustling with people and noise. There are all kinds of ship flags and people of various races, all of them merchant ships from all over the world.

The furthest reach extends to the Summer Islands of the Summer Sea, Iban Island of the Trembling Sea, Qarth on the side of the Jade Sea, and even ships from Asshai have arrived here.

Braavos has become a true center of world trade, with an astonishing number of ships entering and leaving the port every day.

After Viserys's ship arrived in Braavos, it suddenly seemed rather ordinary. Several other large ships calmly passed by them, rudely pushing them aside.

"Bravos, we've arrived!"

boom--

The merchant ship docked at the checkered pier in Braavos. Customs officers boarded the ship for inspection, and after passing the inspection, it continued to sail inland, eventually docking at a location in a large port, making an inexplicably loud noise.

The passengers then disembarked one by one, officially arriving at the city that was the most important of the nine free trade city-states. Viserys mingled with the crowd as he disembarked, and a small incident even occurred during the process.

In the bustling port, a thief seemed to have his eye on a gem Viserys was wearing and attempted to steal it.

However, he was caught red-handed before he could even reach out, and several wallets fell from the thief's body.

However, once they reached Braavos territory, Viserys didn't need to deal with the thief himself; Braavos soldiers naturally came and took away this 'unworthy person'.

"It was just an accident."

“In fact, there are scumbags like this everywhere.”

The municipal official, dressed in a gray-brown robe, looked slightly embarrassed. Viserys had truly broadened his horizons by following them on this journey, encountering all sorts of different people.

The city officials were still boasting about how civilized, prosperous, and safe Braavos was, but Viserys was targeted by thieves as soon as he disembarked.

And it seems this thief wasn't just targeting Viserys; he had several wallets in his arms, though it's unclear whether the owners have realized their belongings are missing.

"Yes, I understand."

"There are many people like that in King's Landing."

Viserys nodded with a somewhat strange expression. Although it was just a minor incident, it left Viserys with his first impression of Braavos.

The initial faint sense of awe and fear in his heart also disappeared. The wealth, trade, and civilization of Braavos, the miracles created by the slaves, have always been admired and revered by countless people.

Viserys' previous impressions, along with the descriptions he had read in books recently, deepened this sense of awe.

However, when he finally arrived in this legendary city, he did not feel the sweet air that greeted him, but only a thief quietly reaching out to him.

Viserys and his party did not linger at the port. Two carriages covered with thick curtains were already waiting there. Viserys boarded the carriages and they drove directly to the palace of Neptune, the Sea King of Braavos.

Gollum-

The sound of wheels rolling outside the window could be heard.

Viserys sat in the carriage, his feet on a silver carpet sewn by the artisans of Myr. His feet finally touched the earth, and his heart, which had been floating on the sea, finally calmed down.

Then the boy lifted the curtain and looked out at the unfamiliar city.

In Viserys's eyes, Braavos was a stone city full of canals and docks.

As the boy sat in the carriage, he could see many gray, gold, or red stone arch bridges. The city streets were lined with gray stone houses, so densely packed that they were almost touching.

Some houses were even built on the river, almost all of them were narrow four or five stories high with tiled roofs and towering domes in the distance. Overall, Braavos looked magnificent and bustling, even surpassing King's Landing in grandeur.

"Welcome to Braavos, Your Majesty."

Once they were in the carriage, the city official no longer addressed Viserys as "young master" to conceal his identity. He rode in the same carriage as Viserys, introducing the young king to the city he was so proud of along the way.

Lieshen Island, Zigang, Yuechi, and so on—each place has a legendary story. Then the middle-aged man pointed his finger into the distance.

There stands a giant domed tower overlooking Purple Harbor below.

"That is our destination. Lord Neptune will be waiting for you there."

...

The carriage entered the Sea King's Palace, passed through a garden, and then stopped.

A few little girls seemed to be playing in the distance, but then their eyes were drawn to the carriage, and they were gazing at it from afar.

Viserys then jumped down from the carriage.

"This is the Sea King's Palace."

"After more than a month of travel, we have finally arrived at our destination."

Even though Viserys had remained remarkably calm, he still let out a slight sigh of relief, jumped off the carriage, straightened his clothes, and brushed the dust off his body.

The journey was not smooth sailing; it was only after leaving the protection of the army that he truly came into contact with the real face of this world.

There are no nobles, no power struggles, no wars, only vibrant lives doing both positive and negative things in their struggle for survival.

Mercenaries, thieves, merchants, farmers, and so on... all sorts of people. They may not be recorded in history, but they are the most important part of this world.

Chapter 68 Prince Dorne

Then.

Viserys and his entourage were allowed to rest in the Neptune Palace.

Viserys had a separate, luxurious bedroom, guarded by two of his guards in a room outside the suite, while the shackled priestess and her child also had a separate room.

Out of respect for her privacy, Viserys never asked who the father of Millie's child was. In this era, it was common for men to die in various accidents or to get a woman pregnant and then run away.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many orphans on the streets of King's Landing, and these orphans would be exploited by those with ulterior motives, bought off and trained to become their eyes and ears, making their lives a tragedy.

Viserys, upon returning to his bedroom, eagerly took a hot bath. Due to his disguise and the scarcity of fresh water on the ship, he hadn't bathed in a long time.

The Sea King's Palace has a huge hot spring pool where the Sea King and his VIPs can soak on weekdays.

Viserys washed the grime off his body in the wooden tub in the bedroom. His blue-dyed hair returned to its original color during the wash, and his somewhat dirty face became fair and rosy.

Then, guided by his maids, Viserys, dressed in velvet pajamas and slippers, arrived at the giant hot spring pool in the Neptune's Palace. As soon as he entered the palace, a wave of heat hit him, and Viserys's fair face warmed slightly under the heat.

The hot spring pool inside the Sea King's Palace was large but exceptionally quiet. The water was clean and clear, and the pool was empty except for Viserys.

thump--

The boy then changed his clothes and slowly entered the water, only his head showing. His long, silver-gold hair was completely soaked and clung to his fair and smooth skin, flowing down like molten silver in the wispy white smoke.

"So enjoyable."

Viserys soaked completely in the hot spring, then leaned gently against the edge of the rock wall, closing his eyes slightly to enjoy this moment of tranquility. It seemed that the fatigue from more than a month of drifting at sea had been completely released at this moment.
