Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

The sharp blade sliced ​​into the neck without any hesitation, and heads rolled to the ground.

The sudden and dramatic change caught many people off guard.

"You bunch of robbers!"

"The Lord of Light will descend with divine punishment to punish you damned heretics!"

One of the Rahlo followers, who was disguised as a caravan guard, decided to stop hiding his identity.

He had just fought back and stabbed a soldier in the arm, but was soon riddled with blood and knew he was going to die, so he let out a desperate roar.

puff...

Then a soldier from Andalus beheaded him from behind.

Those Rahlo followers who had given up resistance and were captured turned pale upon hearing his final, desperate roar.

The leader of this group, a man who had also disguised himself as the caravan leader, was the first to be arrested. He was bound hand and foot and forced to kneel on the ground, his face looking extremely grim.

Because he knew he had been exposed.

However, he was unaware of which slip-up he had made.

This renowned young king, who supposedly fled Westeros to Essos in his childhood, saw through his weakness with just one glance.

"I had long heard that a brotherhood that worshipped Rahlo was wandering along this trade route."

"I never expected to run into this today."

Viserys remained seated on his horse, calmly watching the caravan of over a hundred Brotherhood members disguised as merchants, his head falling to the ground without even blinking.

In fact, Viserys didn't notice anything amiss.

However, Oberon had traveled the continent of Essos as a mercenary and had long been familiar with all sorts of underhanded and low-level tactics.

He seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and then quietly reminded Viserys.

However, even without Oberyn's reminder, Viserys wouldn't have let these people leave so easily.

Although wildfires are still burning on the mountain and are spreading rapidly, Viserys, after observing from below the mountain, estimated that the fire at the very center, the Falling Star Site, should be relatively small.

The biggest obstacle is the constant white smoke that can be suffocating, but these can be overcome with a little effort.

Viserys' biggest fear was that someone else would get their hands on the secret of the Red Comet.

Preserving the complete scene of the starfall and figuring out whether there is a close connection between the nature of the red comet and magic would be extremely important to him.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"

“We are a legitimate caravan, not members of any brotherhood.”

The brotherhood leader still wanted to offer one last excuse.

However, Viserys waved his hand, not bothering with the nonsense of a nobody. Even if he really was a caravan protected by Norfos, he was determined to rob it today. He immediately ordered his soldiers to search the caravan.

wow-

Subsequently, the goods on the caravan were scattered all over the ground. Although the goods were still goods, a large number of marks from sword cuts and bloodstains were found.

It appears that this brotherhood has just robbed a caravan, killing everyone and leaving their goods in the hands of these bandits.

And at this time.

One of the soldiers appeared to have found something.

"His Majesty."

Then he came over carrying a rather heavy little wooden box.

Chapter 140 Heart of the Stars

"Ok?"

Viserys then took the somewhat heavy wooden box from the soldier.

Click...

Then, the lid of the wooden box was lifted, and inside lay a dark red stone that looked like congealed blood.

"what is this?"

Viserys's eyes narrowed slightly as he saw the object, and he instinctively felt a pang of fear.

He then looked up at the captured Brotherhood leader, who turned ashen-faced upon seeing that Viserys had found the wooden crate.

This is what they found at great risk, after losing several brothers, at the site where the red comet crashed.

It looks like the core of this red comet, and when it was first found, it was still emitting a strong red glow and had an incredibly high surface temperature.

These followers of the Lord of Light endured the smoky and fiery environment for a long time before the surface of the 'stone' gradually cooled down, thus delaying the process considerably.

Then he put the Heart of the Star into a wooden box and took it down the mountain, only to run into Andalus's army, which had also arrived very early.

Meanwhile, the enemy spotted them and immediately dispatched two squads of light cavalry to flank them from both sides. By then, even if they wanted to escape with the 'stone' at all costs, it was already too late.

In the end, these people had no choice but to bite the bullet and come forward, hoping to kidnap or deceive Viserys and escape with the Heart of the Stars to sell for a good price.

However, before these desperate criminals could even begin their audacious plan, they were apprehended on the spot.

"Was this found inside?"

Viserys sat on his horse, one hand supporting a heavy wooden box, but he didn't rush to touch the somewhat strange-looking object.

Then he turned to the Brotherhood leader, who was bound hand and foot and kneeling on the ground, and asked him a question.

"Yes...yes, Your Majesty."

At this moment, the bandit leader no longer cared about saving the treasure; he only wanted to live. He kowtowed and begged Viserys to spare his life.

However, Viserys merely narrowed his eyes and did not rush to agree to their request.

Then he looked up and saw the thick smoke in the sky. Although the wind was blowing in the opposite direction and the smoke was not spreading in their direction, they still couldn't see what the place where the red comet had fallen looked like.

"Seal off this entire area; no one is allowed to come near."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The guards around him received the order and quickly relayed it down.

The long legion began to spread out, surrounding the road that led to the site of the Red Comet's fall.

“Find a few more people, including him.”

Viserys then pointed to the Brotherhood leader who worshipped the Lord of Light.

"Let's go up and check if there's anything else."

"understand!"

Then soldiers stepped forward and unlocked the chains on the prisoners' feet, and then released several other prisoners.

Then, dozens of Andalus soldiers covered their mouths and noses with wet coarse cloths and followed the prisoners into the thick smoke, gradually disappearing from sight.

Wildfires don't extinguish in a day or two; he can't stay here forever and wait for them to go out.

Viserys sat on his horse, gazing at the gloomy sky above, where the setting sun was gradually approaching the horizon.

Night was fast approaching.

Furthermore, this is not a place to linger. If the wind direction changes, the Andalus Legion, which is currently stationed at the foot of the mountain, could be in danger.

As the evening breeze grew cool, Viserys ordered his army to retreat, leaving only a few dozen cavalrymen to follow him quietly.

Then.

Viserys looked again at the dark red 'stone' placed in the wooden box, then reached out and took it out of the box.

The stone had a cool touch, and Viserys felt a slight shiver when he first touched it.

"It's so cold?"

The young king looked surprised; he hadn't expected that this seemingly fiery red 'stone' would feel so cold to the touch.

"Could this be the core of the Red Comet?"

Viserys knew that when a meteorite fell from outer space, the intense friction with the air generated extremely high temperatures, burning away the impurities on the meteorite's surface and leaving only the hardest stone, iron, or some unknown special substance. During its short fall, it was almost like it had undergone a thousand trials before it could reach the ground.

Then, Viserys squeezed his fingers slightly.

A bone-chilling coldness seeped into his mind through his five fingers, causing him to shiver slightly, as if he were holding a block of solid ice.

And indeed, there was no trace on the surface of this 'stone'.

"This doesn't look like a stone; it looks more like a piece of meteorite."

"Come and take a look."

Viserys then glanced at it a few more times before handing the Heart of the Red Comet to Oberyn, who was sitting on horseback beside him.

Prince Dorne, a man of great experience, had just realized that these people disguised as a caravan were not good people, and thus advised Viserys to take them down.

Oberyn did not refuse and took the stone from Viserys's hand, shivering slightly as he did so.

"This stuff is so cold."

Then I weighed it in my hand.

“That’s right, the weight and feel of this piece of iron don’t look like a stone, but rather like a meteorite.”

Then Oberyn raised his head, looked at the young king wearing a crown, and spoke.

"The Dane family of Starfall is one of the oldest families on the continent of Westeros, with a history that can be traced back to the Dawn Era, ten thousand years ago."

"Legend has it that the first Dane followed a fallen star and came to a small island at the mouth of the Turbulent River. There he found a magical Star Heart and built a castle, which is now Starfall City."

"And the Dane family's heirloom weapon, 'Dawn,' is said to have been forged from this heart of a star."

"Congratulations, Viserys."

Oberyn pulled on the reins and returned the Heart of the Star to Viserys.

"You may soon possess a weapon that rivals Valyrian steel."

"Is that so?"

Viserys accepted the Heart of the Star, but his expression didn't show much surprise.
