Chapter 25: Moonsinger Temple
"We must not let him go ashore!"
Thinking of the abilities displayed by the assassin, Viserys felt a cold sweat break out on his forehead.
Skinchangers are truly terrifying.
They can manipulate animals to kill or even poison them.
And it won't leave any traces.
It is a skill with the same bug as his own 'Dragon Dream'.
However, Brother Long Er quickly calmed down.
First of all, it is unlikely that such a powerful assassin could be controlled by just one person.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste to use it to assassinate myself?
If he belonged to Robert, why not use it to settle his debts first.
He has always been prejudiced against the Westerlands, and he could use this to get rid of Cersei, or even the old lion Tywin.
And if this assassin is Littlefinger or Varys, it would be even more unlikely.
Neither of these two guys is holding back on their thoughts.
Littlefinger has been plotting to take the throne.
In order to kill Jon Arryn, Ned and Robert's adoptive father, he touched upon his secret lover Lysa and achieved his goal.
He didn't know what Varys was trying to do, but if he could control such a god-level skinchanger, wouldn't he have taken off long ago? !
So it is very likely that the true strength of this assassin is not known to others.
Well, if that's the case, his origins are quite suspicious.
First of all, the fact that he could be located by Long Meng meant that this guy was here to kill him.
But logically speaking, he does not seem to belong to any faction.
This made Brother Long Er a little overwhelmed.
Calming himself down, Viserys thought that since he had a dragon dream, he didn't need to worry too much.
Although the opponent's methods are more bizarre, we have the advantage in information.
If this guy can really reach Braavos, then we can just prepare in advance and even arrange people to ambush and kill him.
The odds of winning are still good.
As for now, Brother Long Er is going to go to the temple in Braavos to see if there are any clues to increase his magic power.
His first choice was the Temple of the Moonsingers.
Before Braavos was founded, it was this group of Moonsingers who brought slaves who escaped from the Valyrian Empire to this prophesied refuge.
And the prophecy is real in the world of Game of Thrones.
Since they can predict the future, it means that this group of people has something real.
And in the original book, the Moon Singer taught Dany the "Song of Birthing".
There might be some other 'songs', so Viserys decided to go and see them while he had some free time.
Dany practiced sword skills very hard every day, so Brother Long Er decided to give her a vacation and took her with him.
"Where are we going?"
Danny asked excitedly. The last time she went out with Brother Long Er was to buy fish.
"Go to the Moonsinger Temple and bring some extra money."
"Um!"
She changed into a light blue dress and tied her silver-white hair into a braid and threw it behind her head.
Speaking of which, because of their hair color and skin color, Viserys and his sister are really suitable for light-colored clothes.
In this world where everything seems a bit "dirty, messy and dark", the two of them can quickly become the focus no matter where they go.
The brother and sister got on the carriage, and more than half an hour later they passed an arch bridge and saw the Moon Singer Temple in the distance.
Dany, sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out with her purple eyes.
A white building was seen from a distance.
She recognized it immediately as the Temple of the Moonsingers.
The all-white temple stands out among the other buildings.
In particular, in order to commemorate and thank the Moon Singer of that year, the people of Braavos built the Temple of the Moon Singer, which is the largest of all the temples in Braavos.
This is a marble palace of great size.
It has a large silver-white dome on top.
There are many milky white glass windows around the dome.
The shapes of the glass windows show the different phases of the moon.
The two men got off the carriage and saw a pair of marble statues of young girls standing in front of the temple gate.
The stone slabs under your feet are spotless, giving you a feeling of tranquility and holiness.
A beautiful woman, accompanied by her maid, walked out of the temple and happened to meet the brother and sister.
"What a beautiful girl! I hope my child can also have such beauty."
The woman said softly, touching her slightly bulging belly.
"That is certain, Mrs. Maisels, and your beauty will surely be reproduced in your children."
The lady raised the corner of her mouth, and seemed to be pleased with the maid's words.
She suddenly noticed that there was a young man standing next to Dany, so she looked up and saw that the two looked 70% similar, so she guessed that they were brother and sister.
"That young man is also very handsome."
Brother Long nodded slightly to the woman, and Dany smiled at her too.
The purple eyes sparkled like gemstones, making the woman's heart melt.
So she signaled to the maid beside her, and the maid came to the brother and sister and said:
"Sir, Mrs. Meisers wants to talk to you. Is it convenient?"
"certainly."
Then the maid led Viserys and his sister toward the woman.
Brother Long Er saw that the lady seemed to be a pregnant woman, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old.
Her face is round and her cheeks are flushed due to pregnancy.
But there seemed to be a faint grayish color on the blush.
In addition, her slightly bulging belly shows her current condition, probably because she saw Dany's overflowing maternal love.
"So the so-called Moon Singer Temple is actually a goddess temple. I'm here to tie up a doll."
Brother Long Er teased in his heart, then came to the noble lady and said:
"Madam, your beauty embellishes this city."
"Haha, your praise is refreshing, but I still have to say that your beauty makes me jealous."
Hearing that the lady in front of her was praising her, Dany blushed shyly.
But this made the lady like him even more.
He immediately took off a bracelet inlaid with various gems from his wrist and gave it to Dany.
This bracelet is made of gold and is very expensive in itself. If you add the pigeon egg-sized gems on it, its price is even more difficult to estimate.
Brother Long Er subconsciously wanted to be polite, but the noble aura revealed by the other party made him decide not to refuse.
Dany glanced at Viserys, as if asking for his approval.
Seeing that Brother Long Er gave her an encouraging look, she shyly lifted the hem of her skirt to express her gratitude, and then let the noble lady put the bracelet on her.
For an eight-year-old child, this bracelet is somewhat too big.
Dany had to bend her arm to keep it from falling.
It seemed that the woman simply liked the brother and sister, so she gave them the bracelet and left.
From a distance, Brother Long Er saw the noble lady and her servant getting into a beautiful carriage.
A pair of hands is depicted on the back of the carriage.
The second brother Long raised his eyebrows, remembering that this was the emblem of the Zainen family.
The Zayn family is one of the three major families in Braavos.
The current Sea King comes from the Antalion family, and there is also a Frega family.
The Sea King was nominally selected from the entire population of Braavos, but in fact almost all of them came from these three families.
"Who says good looks can't be eaten? Isn't this what you eat?"
After checking the bracelet and making sure there was nothing wrong with it, Brother Long took Dany's hand and walked into the temple.
