Chapter 97 - Chapter 97: Prepare to Burst Gold, Illyrio

Lady Forlorn, Blackfyre.

Viserys originally thought it would take him some time to find such an SSR epic artifact, but he didn't expect the first to appear to be the rhoynar' epic gear.

Viserys predicted that Lady Forlorn was still on Tarth, and Blackfyre was most likely in Illyrio's hands.

Viserys meticulously admired the craftsmanship of the spear; these weapons could be considered the crown jewels of Loynan craftsmanship, especially the spear.

The spearhead, depicting lifelike horned giant turtles, 'River Old Man,' and large crabs, 'Crab King,' was not only an aesthetic embellishment but also designed to facilitate easy extraction and retrieval after piercing a body.

As for the tail of Greygalis's Spear, it was adorned with a spherical pommel and spiral-patterned sharp points, designed for comfortable grip and balanced weight.

The sphere was painted with two dancing rhoynar, a man and a woman, agile and gracefully elegant.

In extreme cases, this could even be considered a double-headed spear.

Viserys's spear techniques were also advancing by leaps and bounds under The Red Viper's tutelage, and this spear felt seamless to wield.

There are many good swordsmen, but when it comes to spears, it has to be a Dornishman like The Red Viper.

For warhammers, one must speak of Robert Baratheon.

Dornishmen prefer spears over all other weapons; dornish horse, shortbows, javelins, and Dornish spears are all renowned.

"I didn't expect the rhoynar' craftsmanship to be so superb," Viserys exclaimed.

The rhoynar' forging history predates the Andals, and they were even the Andals' teachers, having already mastered their craft.

Viserys gripped Greygalis's Spear, feeling a great sense of satisfaction; the spear was lighter than he expected.

Divine weapons are like cheat codes, just like valyrian steel weapons, which are light and incredibly sharp.

They save more stamina in fights, are more powerful, and make it easier to go berserk.

Such artifacts are weapons fit for a king, imbued with a legendary feel.

The Loynan holy relics, just like Blackfyre, are incredibly prestigious to possess and are symbols of power.

"Bring a breastplate and a chainmail," Viserys told Argos; he was eager to test its power.

"At your command, your majesty the king!" Argos set up a bright, thick breastplate on the ground, followed by a layer of chainmail.

Viserys wielded the spear, and though he didn't rely on horsepower, he heard the brutal sound of the breastplate shattering; both breastplates were directly pierced and penetrated by the spear, as smoothly as slicing beef with a knife.

"Truly a divine artifact," Argos couldn't help but praise.

"No less than valyrian steel," The Red Viper, having traveled extensively, had never seen such a fine item.

The surrounding cavalry gasped; such a flat-ground thrust was already so lethal, it was hard to imagine how dangerous a spear from horseback would be.

People rumored that only valyrian steel could be forged extremely thin while retaining its deadly power; these ripples were the marks of countless hammerings during forging.

However, according to Viserys's observation, meteorite core is also no less than valyrian steel; Dawn and this spear are probably made of similar material.

"Your luck is a bit too good," The Red Viper twitched his mouth. "Treasures find their owners; it seems you are destined for this, your majesty the king."

As a premier spearman, The Red Viper felt a continuous pang of jealousy; he had played with spears for decades and had never seen such a perfect one.

The Golden Heartwood Spear was valuable, but it was nothing compared to this Meteorite-and-Mithril Spear.

Not to mention the priceless Mithril Scale Armor, Turtle Shell Shield, and Fish-Shaped Helmet.

But famous artifacts have owners, and these were treasures discovered by Viserys. According to the etiquette established by the gods, they still belonged to Viserys.

What kind of luck is this, a full set of divine gear, and without spending a single penny.

Did Lannister, Martell, Tyrell, Arryn not desire valyrian steel weapons? No, they just never obtained them.

Old Tywin had approached impoverished families in the kingdom at least three times, offering to buy their valyrian steel swords for a hefty sum, but was always refused. Noble families were willing to intermarry with the Lannisters, but the matter of ancestral swords was non-negotiable.

And Viserys burst out four pieces of equipment at once, a full set.

With this luck, The Red Viper felt that he truly had some kind of heavenly mandate.

Viserys then picked up the silver scale armor; like the silver spear, its material was light and hard.

The silver scale armor was inlaid with individual silver scales, resembling fish scales.

The silver scale armor emitted a silvery glow in the sun, a magnificent silver radiance that felt truly extraordinary.

Viserys picked up a sharp blade and, with his strength, struck the scale armor, but it showed no reaction.

"valyrian steel used dragon and magic to burn; this spear and armor should be a special effect of water and magic," Viserys told The Red Viper.

Both fire forging and water forging methods crucially involved the addition of magic.

"Many of the rhoynar' civilization and techniques have been lost," The Red Viper replied.

Given the pitiful state of the Loynan villages now, even their blacksmithing is makeshift, let alone crafting such divine weapons.

Water magic and fire magic represent different levels of craftsmanship; the rhoynar had fountains and canals, while the Valyrians had black walls, great roads, and tall towers.

But why were these weapons and equipment buried with their owner's longship in Gohod?

"It could have been a prince who died during a pursuit of the hairy men, or a warrior who fought in Prince Gaelin's last battle," The Red Viper speculated. "At that time, Nymeria did not participate in the war, but the city-state of Naath did join the battle.

""

Viserys knew the secret: back then, the rhoynar, at Prince Gaelin's call, were to unite for a final battle, but only Nymeria, believing they couldn't win, spoke out against it.

However, her opposition was ineffective, and her soldiers eagerly joined the battle, leaving Nymeria to defend the city with the old and weak.

If this was the case, it might have been a warrior from Naath who participated in the battle with weapons.

But when the battle failed, with the vast mist rising from the curse.

The warrior had no way back to Naath, but instead fled to this place.

All of the above can only be considered speculation; the specific details have long been lost to history.

"You don't know about Greygalis's relics?" Viserys asked The Red Viper.

"After our ancestor Nymeria arrived in Dorne, she burned her ships to show she would never turn back," The Red Viper said. "She never spoke of Naath's past glory."

Viserys understood. Nymeria was someone traumatized by the Valyrian Dragonlords.

She completely abandoned the Rhoyne River, and naturally had no face to mention the holy relics.

Otherwise, how could she tell her descendants to go back to the Rhoyne River to find equipment, only to be roasted by magic dragons again?

Nymeria positioned herself as the pioneer of Dorne, choosing to abandon the former Rhoyne River faith and never look back, content to expand her territory in Dorne.

Her decision to burn the entire fleet is understandable, but it also led to Dorne having no decent naval power ever since. It can only be described as resolute yet abstract.

In any case, these are ownerless treasures, without property rights.

These Loynan holy relics now have only one owner, and that is Viserys.

Viserys put away his new equipment; with such good gear, why would he need ordinary iron black scale armor?

Some people in the ancient city ruins slowly gathered around, understanding that these cavalrymen would not be as barbaric as the dothraki.

"Those who wish to follow us, go to Viserysgrad; for those who do not, give them some provisions," Viserys commanded.

Currently, the strength of the Andalos can only be concentrated at Viserysgrad.

In Gohod, due to the low river flow and its proximity to the Valyrian Road, as well as its distance from Viserysgrad, there is not yet the capability for large-scale development.

Only after defeating one or two dothraki tribes, and with the dothraki afraid to cross the river, can development proceed with confidence.

"Understood, your majesty the king," Argos replied.

The Red Viper felt quite wistful seeing these survivors, with crumbling city walls and a decaying civilization.

These people couldn't escape any attack, whether from the Dothraki or from bandit mercenaries.

"I will take them back to Viserysgrad," The Red Viper said, also for the safety of these people.

The Red Viper went forward to converse with these people, while Viserys contentedly put away his divine gear.

Not only did he have this divine gear, but he also gained new Water Element Affinity, allowing him to sense where water elements gathered, thus eliminating the need to consume large quantities of fish bones at once.

So, in this surrounding area, where resources are abundant, merchants gather, and it's convenient for attribute boosts.

How can a prosperous big city be without Pentos? Pentos is the closest to him.

And at that time, the fat man of Pentos also called for him to come.

Viserys also wanted to go, not just for the attributes; recently, fewer dothraki have been going there, so it seems normal for him to go and burst some gold.

Just wait, Illyrio.

"Prince!" Viserys commanded.

The Red Viper ran over again. "What is it, your majesty the king!"

The Red Viper was somewhat curious what Viserys meant.

"I want to make a trip to Pentos; you take these commoners back."

"This, without my protection?" The Red Viper asked.

"You can rest assured, Prince, Argos, Hugo, Gaelin. We are your majesty the king's shield and spear," Argos raised his terrifyingly large fist.

"Alright," The Red Viper also nodded.

His reputation was well-known, and wandering around Pentos would inevitably lead to him being discovered, not to mention someone always needed to guard the home.

"You can trust my skills; I promise not to make the first move," Viserys said confidently.

"The grasslands are in chaos right now, so going to Pentos at this time is also an opportunity," The Red Viper nodded.
