Chapter 167 Dragon's Horn
And Jillian Lannister changed his appearance and changed his name after returning to Volantis.
I secretly bought a dilapidated house, and then hid in it every day and wrote this diary tremblingly, recording this trip completely.
He hoped that one day he could reorganize the fleet to return to Valyria. The long sword, the armor and the horn on the table hanging on the castle hall were all his dream treasures.
He hopes to be able to use his own adventure and then become a blockbuster, get rid of the halo of his brother, and prove his ability.
Even the people his brother Tywin sent to Volantis to look for him deliberately avoided seeing him and went into hiding a little.
It was not until a few years later that Jillian heard the news that the Usurper War broke out in Westeros, and decided to set off and return to his hometown.
However, the journey from Volantis back to Lannisport was a long way, and the original news came back and forth, coupled with the long journey, by the time Jillian returned to his hometown, the usurper war was over.
Robert Baratheon overthrew Targaryen's rule, successfully sat on the Iron Throne, and then politically married his niece Cersei Lannister.
In order to express her congratulations, Jillian gave her a treasure from the ruins of Valyria as a wedding gift.
Then it was the same as what Varys the Octopus told Viserys in the letter.
Returning to Casterly Rock, Jillian Lannister, who had been missing for many years, heard about the death of his second brother, Kevan, and vowed to avenge his brother.
In the end, he replaced the bachelor who should really go to Dragonstone Island, and sneaked in.
After reading the wonderful life of Jillian Lannister, Viserys closed this memoir with some emotion. He never thought that such a powerful character would be given away by a glass of poisonous wine.
However, the emotion for Jillian's death was only a few seconds.
Viserys paid more attention to the castle mentioned in Jillian's memoirs, and the swords, armor, and horns he had glimpsed at that time.
Viserys and Jillian judged the same, and these three things placed in important positions in the castle must be very precious.
Sword and Armor Viserys boldly judged that it was once the equipment of the castle owner, forged from magical Valyrian steel.
And that horn...
"Is it the Dragon's Horn?"
A bold thought flashed through Viserys' mind. Jillian might not know what it was, but Viserys knew very well.
However, he couldn't believe it himself, and then shook his head, how could there be such a coincidence in the world.
He vaguely remembered that a man also seemed to have escaped from the ruins of Valyria, Euron Greyjoy, the younger brother of what is now Balon Greyjoy of the Iron Islands.
He committed adultery with his younger brother Victarion's salt concubine, and was expelled from the Iron Islands by his brother Balon.
Then Euron disappeared for a while, but when he appeared in front of the world again, he already had this legendary treasure that could command the dragon.
However, it was not too long before the Iron Islands Rebellion was suppressed, and Euron Greyjoy was still on the Iron Islands.
"Could it be that Euron later got this information from Gillian?"
"Or did Jillian not know where he died at that time, and this diary and the parchment chart that recorded the correct route ended up in Euron's hands?"
Viserys suddenly felt that his guess seemed plausible.
Jillian's luck is indeed very good. He can be regarded as a 'child of destiny'. Volantis once sent an entire fleet into the sea of smoke and disappeared.
And Jillian was only a small fleet and was able to successfully reach the Valyria continent through the sea of smoke, indicating that there were not many sea monsters on this route.
It is very likely that Euron obtained this precious diary and nautical chart, and then successfully entered Valyria and obtained the horn and armor.
And if you think about it this way, the horn in this record is really likely to be the legendary dragon horn.
Although there are not many clues, but after they are all spread out, everything seems logical.
Viserys remembers hearing Grand Maester Percyr tell the story of the Dragon's Horn in the Red Keep as a child, and legend has it that the dragonlords of Valyria could use it to control dragons.
As long as the horn of the dragon is blown, all the dragons will bow their heads.
"It seems... I must go here in the future."
Viserys stared at the candlelight in front of him for a moment and finally made up his mind.
He may not need the Dragon Horn to command the dragon, but such a thing must not fall into the hands of outsiders, otherwise it will be a deadly threat to Targaryen.
He actually didn't want to take such a big risk to visit the ruins of Valyria, but now there are two factors, like an invisible big hand pushing him to take a trip in person.
One is to investigate what the black mist inside the body is and what connection it has with Valyrian civilization.
The second is to get this dragon horn, and it must not fall into the hands of others.
However, just as Viserys was thinking about the windfall this time...
In the distance, a white-haired old man who was trembling while walking had just received news about him.
At this moment, he is wearing a thick cloak of black animal skin, standing on the crenel of the Great Wall of Despair, looking into the distance.
Then he said abruptly, his words trembled a little, and his voice was hoarse and sharp.
"I... once heard of the fall of the kingdom, and my oath encountered the most difficult test at that time."
A tall man with gray hair walked over to the old man.
"I heard you mention it, Maester Aemon."
This latter man was Jeor Mormont, the nine hundred and ninety-seventh commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch.
And standing in front of him, the white-haired old man shivering slightly in the cold wind was a bachelor of the Night's Watch Legion, and now the highest-ranking person in the entire Night's Watch Legion.
Even the most vicious criminal exiled, the most rebellious Thorn in the Legion, had full respect for this old man.
Jeor Mormont stood side by side beside Maester Aemon, looking at the endless ghost forest in the distance.
It was snowing heavily.
Now this forest has been wrapped in a layer of silver.
Although the south of the Great Wall of Despair is still warm at the turn of summer and autumn, there are still snowflakes from time to time here on the Great Wall.
The commander-in-chief of the Night's Watch turned his head and said abruptly.
"You got the message?"
Today, another group of smugglers came to Castle Black to make deals with the Night's Watch, and also brought some news from the outside world.
Targaryen's last 'true dragon', Viserys III Targaryen, who was already king, had three dragons.
