Chapter 82: Fire's Happiness
Feeling the scaly protrusions on the green dragon egg, he found that it seemed to be more delicate.
I took a look at the bottom of the dragon egg and found a green swirl pattern there.
"What does the quality of a dragon egg depend on? Is it its activity?"
Viserys remembered that an 'unknown dragon' had been hatched during the reign of Aegon III.
According to records, this "dragon" was as pale as a maggot, and was not only blind, but also had no wings.
To a certain extent, a dragon egg may not necessarily hatch into a giant dragon, but may also hatch into some other monster.
After thinking for a moment, Viserys put the dragon egg back.
Another brocade was unveiled under everyone's attention.
A long steel sword with a water wave pattern on the blade appeared in front of him.
There are five similar ripple-like water wave patterns evenly distributed on the blade of this Wagang sword.
The hilt appears to be made of hardwearing maple wood.
There is also a red gem inlaid on it.
Viserys first gently stroked the sword with his fingertips, and found that his panel did not respond, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Logically speaking, the Wagang Sword also has magical elements, so why is it ineffective against the panel?
Do we have to 'recognize the master by dropping blood'?
Viserys tried to transfer the magic power in his body to the steel sword, and he found that the sword body was vibrating slightly but quickly!
He was startled, and in order to avoid being discovered by others, he quickly stopped the transmission of magic power and prepared to try again when no one was around.
Putting this thought aside for the moment, he picked up the Wagang sword and swung it gently.
I found that not only is the weight evenly distributed, but the center of gravity is also suitable.
All in all, it's very handy!
There is a saying that goes 'When you are armed with a sharp weapon, you will naturally want to kill'. He glanced at the hall and calculated the probability that he could kill Sea King Frego.
It turned out that even if he ignored Dany's safety, the chances of success were less than 30%.
This was mainly because of the platform he was on. If the steps of the platform were a little lower, the success rate would be 50%.
Viserys looked at Thormo again. If it was Thormo, his success rate in killing him would reach 90%!
As if sensing Viserys' murderous intent, Tormo felt a chill in his heart!
"Lord Viserys, give this sword a new name." Ross said beside him.
It is said that there are less than 2,000 Vargan swords in this world.
And there are only more than 200 in Westeros.
Each of the Wagang swords has its own name.
The sword's previous owner must have passed away many years ago, and its original name may have been forgotten.
Viserys glanced at the crowd and said:
"The most common things I saw in Braavos were purple paint and thick fog. I decided to name it 'Purple Mist'!"
"What a nice name!" Ross praised as always.
Viserys smiled at everyone. In fact, according to the motto of the Dragon family, he would rather name him "Joy of Fire".
Everyone else congratulated Viserys, and Dany came to his side and held the dragon egg and stroked it.
At this moment, Frego, who was sitting at the top, suddenly spoke:
"Lord Viserys."
The unique sound-gathering effect in the Sea King's Palace came into play again, attracting all attention.
"Everyone, before the banquet started, Lord Tormo told me a very good proposal, which I think is also very good. Now please let him tell everyone."
As soon as Frego finished speaking, everyone looked at Tormo.
Viserys suppressed the joy of receiving the prize, and the Ross couple looked at him expressionlessly.
I thought to myself, what else is this guy going to do at this point?
Then, accompanied by his two sons, Tormo came to the crowd and said:
"Everyone, Lord Viserys standing before us is a rare 'double champion' in hundreds of years. While participating in the tournament, he also writes songs.
I heard that Lord Viserys takes less than a cup of tea to compose a piece of music.
We have all heard Lord Viserys's masterpiece, but I wonder if you would be willing to show us the creative process?"
It turned out that Tormo went through so much trouble just to get Viserys to compose a song in front of everyone.
As far as he knows, most musicians need a quiet environment when composing music.
If you are in a crowded environment, you may not be able to write anything due to psychological pressure.
And Thormer naturally had reason to question Viserys.
However, just as Roose was about to defend Viserys, Tormer said:
"Lord Viserys, why don't we use the moon as the theme? After all, the fact that you were able to receive the protection of Braavos is also due to the Moon Singers." He turned to the priest beside him and said, "Your Majesty Sirichet, what do you think?"
Ross couldn't help but frown. This was completely putting Viserys on the spot.
You should know that the Moon Singer has a very high status in Braavos, and even the Sea King has to visit the Temple of the Moon Singer from time to time.
Another thing that puzzled him was that this priest Thrichet was the High Priest of the Moonsinger who he had previously approached to predict Viserys's fate. Why did he choose to help Tormo?
Faria, who was at the back of the hall, also heard the previous conversation and couldn't help but worry about Viserys.
Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Viserys knew that he could not avoid this level.
So he took a few steps forward, bowed to the priest, then looked around at the crowd and said:
"Everyone, a few months ago I had nightmares frequently, so I went to the Moon Singer Temple with my sister and learned the Moon Singer's Song.
Thanks to the songs of the Moon Singers, my heart has regained peace, so I have been thinking of expressing my gratitude to the Moon Singers in my own way.
Lord Tormo's suggestion is actually just right. Even if it's not today, I will make a song to express my gratitude at any other time."
When Tormo heard him say this, his face changed. Could it be that Viserys really had this idea a long time ago?
But now that it has come to this, I want to see what kind of music he can compose!
The maid brought him a harp, and Viserys sat in a chair and spoke:
"This piece has no lyrics, only melody."
"No lyrics?"
"What kind of song is this?"
"Can that still be a song?"
Seeing Viserys take such an extreme approach at this time, Ross was also very surprised, but there was nothing he could do to remind him.
Tormo snorted coldly, thinking that Viserys was trying to get away with it.
Dany didn't quite understand this. She thought that since Viserys said he could do it, then he must be able to do it.
So he stepped aside, carrying the Wagang sword on his back and holding the dragon egg.
A group of nobles surrounded Viserys, wanting to hear what this song without lyrics was like.
'Bumpkins, broaden your horizons.'
Viserys laughed at them inwardly.
As the strings were plucked, a melodious sound slowly spread.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and at first someone even made the sound of clearing their throat.
But gradually, they all felt as if they were enveloped by a soft light.
After all, they were aristocrats who often listened to music and went to the theater, so they had some basic artistic qualities.
Most people were moved by the "Moonlight Sonata" and listened with their eyes squinted.
Tormo could also tell whether the song was good or bad.
But the better the song was, the more uncomfortable he felt.
There was surprise in Mr. and Mrs. Ross's eyes again.
"I feel so peaceful."
Meisers spoke softly to her husband.
"If you listen to this song before going to bed, you will probably have a good dream." Ross also agreed.
Dany, who was closest to Viserys, had sparkling eyes!
My second brother Long is simply omnipotent!
A few minutes later, Viserys had finished playing.
On the platform, Frego's eyes looked at Viserys strangely.
Could it be that the Targaryens, or the descendants of the Dragon King, are really extraordinary in their own ways?
He glanced at the high priestess beside him and found that she also had an expression of approval on her face.
Everyone came back to their senses from the soft melody and expressed their appreciation.
"It's a really good song."
"I felt like I was enveloped in moonlight."
"Me too, I feel my heart has calmed down."
"....."
Looking at everyone's expressions, Viserys knew that even in another world, a master was still a master.
"I call this song 'Moonlight Sonata', hoping to express my gratitude to the moon singers."
Si Lichet beside Frego nodded with satisfaction:
"The moonlight is with you."
As he spoke, another priest beside him walked towards Viserys holding a box.
"What's in here is the 'Moon Song'. The first moon singers led the slaves of Valyria to Braavos while singing the prayer. It has the power to guide people forward." said Srichet.
The fact that she could entrust such an important thing to Viserys showed that she was very satisfied with the song.
'Prayer!'
Viserys remembered that the "Song of the Moon" he had obtained in the Temple of the Moon Singer could help him speed up the recovery of his magic power.
This "Prayer to the Moon" is obviously a high-end product, and it may have other uses!
Viserys thanked him again and accepted the Moon's Song.
The nobles in the hall congratulated him, whether they liked it or not.
Seeing that he had passed the test successfully, Frego said:
"Okay, it's time to bring out our chief socialite."
Viserys turned and saw Faria coming out with a group of female musicians holding harps and other instruments.
They sat down and began to play Viserys's three songs for the crowd.
This is what is called a socialite.
Even if you win in the end, you will still be a foil in front of the powerful.
To the sound of music, a group of young nobles began to dance.
As for the powerful nobles, they will not leave until the situation is 'hot enough'.
It seems that ballroom dancing has not yet developed.
Viserys remembered the mural of "Broken Moon" he had seen in the Temple of the Moon Singers before, and decided to take this opportunity to ask the priests of the Temple of the Moon Singers.
