Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon.

Chapter 3 Don't worry, I understand
The merchant ship did not enter the huge port of Pentos, but went a little further, crossed the bay, passed a beach, passed a huge lighthouse, and entered a smaller but cleaner port.

Suddenly, a series of luxurious mansions and courtyards with roofs covered with green and red tiles appeared in the field of vision.

These courtyards are built against the mountain, facing the direction of the sunrise, and at the highest point is a huge red temple.

Illyrio called on Viserys and Daenerys to jump off the merchant ship and get on the small boat that had been prepared long ago. Then, with the help of Illyrio's confidants, they rowed the boat and slowly sailed into the dark anchorage hidden in the aqueduct under a courtyard.

Viserys said nothing along the way, but kept looking around secretly.

Illyrio seemed quite proud of this. He thought Viserys must have been infected by his attitude of security and confidentiality.

After getting off the boat, Illyrio led the way, they walked through a long, narrow, winding, hidden passage, and pushed open a wooden door. They were already in Illyrio's courtyard.

This is a corner of the garden, a clean cobblestone path, with various flowers, evergreen trees and ivy planted around. On one side is the sea, and on the other side is a magnificent building with high brick walls.

Compared with modern parks on Earth, the courtyard is not very big. The brick walls of the courtyard can be easily seen on both sides. The brick walls are tall and have a row of iron spikes on the top.

As a private courtyard goes, it can be considered luxurious.

"Welcome to my humble abode, Your Majesty Viserys, Your Highness Daenerys." Illyrio bowed with a serious expression.

"Yes," Viserys replied solemnly. "It is a fine place, Magister Illyrio. When does the feast begin?"

"Feast?" Illyrio looked a little strange, as if he had not expected Viserys to ask such a serious question in such an occasion, but he quickly concealed it and said, "Of course, Your Majesty. Please follow me."

Led by Illyrio, the group quickly entered the interior of the building. Illyrio then called the eunuchs and maids and asked them to take Viserys and Daenerys to wash up first - yes, in addition to the common maids, Illyrio even had eunuchs who were responsible for taking care of their daily life and guarding the courtyard.

"Wash?" Viserys asked. "Is this the custom before a feast in Pentos?"

"Huh?" Illyrio finally felt something was strange. Ever since he came ashore, Viserys' attitude towards him had subtly changed. Only at this moment did he finally understand.

How to put it, before, he was willing to be a subject in order to serve as Viserys's finance minister, and Viserys also treated him as a subject. But after landing, Viserys was like a routine guest at the host's territory.

Illyrio could not help but ask, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, have you misunderstood this invitation?"

Viserys raised his head and straightened his back. "Lord Magister Illyrio, rest assured. As long as your guests do not make fun of me, the 'Beggar King', I will not cause trouble at the banquet and will absolutely guarantee your honor." While Daenerys looked confused, Viserys also assured her, "The same goes for Daenerys. Don't worry, she is very quiet at the banquet and will never provoke those noble ladies."

He looked very familiar with the situation and was always ready to socialize at the banquet.

Illyrio frowned, certain that Viserys was mistaking his thoughts for something.

But before Illyrio could say anything more, Viserys enthusiastically asked the eunuch Illyrio had called to lead him to wash, and then asked Dany, who also looked confused, to follow the maid.

Illyrio tried to clarify the situation with Viserys: "Your Majesty."

"Lord Magister Illyrio, there is no need to explain further." Viserys interrupted him again, with an ambiguous 'I understand' expression on his face, "Don't worry, I understand."

【What do you understand? 】

Illyrio was stunned for a moment.

The scene was somewhat absurd.

The eunuchs and maids did not dare to act without Illyrio's instructions. Viserys waited patiently with a smile on his face. Daenerys lowered her head, wondering what she was thinking.

"What about what we talked about before?" Illyrio asked in surprise.

Viserys still had that 'I understand' expression on his face, and nodded, "Of course I understand, Lord Governor. After the banquet, I will pretend that nothing happened. I guarantee it on my Targaryen honor!" Illyrio's eyes flashed, and no one knew what he was thinking in his heart. In the end, he said nothing more. He just waved his hand and asked the eunuch and the maid to take the two of them to wash up first.

Viserys didn't know what Illyrio was thinking, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that if Illyrio wanted to continue to use him, the new Viserys, he had to re-evaluate everything he had negotiated with his predecessor.

Now that things have come to this, let’s discuss it again.

Viserys's strategy was simple. No matter how poor his acting skills were, no matter how pale his words were, he had to send a signal to Illyrio:
[Ah, what? Didn't you guys just play along before, letting me be a guest of a powerful person like you, and using an exiled prince to add to the grand banquet? You said you would help me restore my country, but you were serious? I thought you were joking, brother.]

No matter how Illyrio behaves later, as long as he doesn't overturn the table, Viserys can still seize the right to speak to a certain extent.

If Illyrio feels he has been tricked and cannot take it, he will resort to violence.

Then it is only possible for him, the Beggar King, to say "My sword is not necessarily bad".

However, in Pentos, murdering a guest at a banquet is also a heinous crime.

To a certain extent, if the two sides do not tear each other apart, the possibility of fighting is very small. After all, not everyone is like Frey if they can do it decently.

Of course, Viserys actually thought of another strategy. He would pretend to be nice and get a few dragon bones from Illyrio to study whether he could activate the task of "collecting dragon souls" and whether he could stimulate the power of King Ancient Oak buried in his body. Then he would decide whether to plot against Illyrio depending on the situation.

But if you think about it carefully, even the blood of Daenerys, the "Mother of Dragons", didn't work. Even if you get a few dragon bones, they may not be useful.

In fact, the knowledge that "there is the power of King Old Liok in the body" itself is actually a "question" for Viserys. From a personal physical point of view, compared with his original body, his physique has not changed since he traveled through time. The only difference is that he has a new soul in his body.

No increase in strength, and no gain in magic.

That is to say, biologically speaking, he is still just an ordinary descendant of Targaryen, not the humanoid magical elemental creature King Old Oak.

There was no way. The being who had engraved the mission mark on him in his head was a lazy guy. Apart from issuing the mission, he didn't say anything about how to complete it. It all depended on how he did it.

In the Hyrule world, after achieving the goal of "obtaining the materials of King Guliok", he had no idea how to "become King Guliok". Speaking of which, he prepared many plans at the time, but he didn't expect to succeed on the first try - oh, by the way, his first plan was to eat him alive.

It must be said that eating monster materials alive is a very risky act, and it is a very painful thing at the beginning. The Ancient Oak King is a pure magic element creature. After being killed, the materials dropped are liver, wings and horns. They are hard, huge, full of the taste of magic elements, and extremely difficult to swallow. Fortunately, as he swallowed the liver bit by bit, he also turned into the Ancient Oak King bit by bit, and grew scales and dragon heads with magic. And as he swallowed the wings and horns, he also turned into a complete Ancient Oak King.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much time to feel the power of the body of a magical elemental creature before he was brought to the world of A Song of Ice and Fire by some force and became an ordinary human again.

Although he couldn't feel it now, Viserys was certain that there was no doubt that King Old Liok's power was in his body.

His problem then became how to collect dragon souls.

Without a doubt, Daenerys, the 'Mother of Dragons', is the closest clue to him. Daenerys seems to have little connection with the dragon soul now, but it does not mean that it will remain the same after the red comet arrives. You know, Daenerys has many magical powers in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, which is unique to the Targaryen family for hundreds of years, such as 'The Unburnt', 'Mother of Dragons', 'Dragon Dream'.
With all kinds of buffs, she is undoubtedly the "destined person".

Viserys vaguely remembered that according to the original plot, Viserys and Illyrio would conspire to sell Daenerys to the Dothraki horse king Khal Drogo in exchange for tens of thousands of troops to conquer the Seven Kingdoms. After traveling through time and devouring Viserys's memory, he found that Viserys knew nothing about the Dothraki horse king at this moment.

Originally, this simple-minded Viserys only vaguely knew that he would abandon Daenerys in the future and sell her in exchange for power, but the candidates he considered were all dignitaries of the free trade cities who were not mentioned at all in the original book. Of course, he sometimes considered some Westeros nobles, but when he thought that they were supporters of the usurper who overthrew the Targaryen dynasty, he gave up the idea.

Then the thread is very clear. The person who proposed the conspiracy to sell Daenerys to the King of the Horse in the original book must be Illyrio.

But now Viserys has no intention of selling Daenerys, nor does he want to be controlled by Illyrio and the conspirator behind him.

Mix up the plans and buy time.

That was how Viserys began to act dumb.
