Chapter 684: Linking the Soul
However, the actions of His Majesty the Emperor after his return disappointed all the people who were watching the fun.
He did not take his anger out of Dorne's rebellion and abolished his queen, nor did he doubt that Oberyn, who had followed him from the beginning, had any wavering in his allegiance.
When Viserys returned to King's Landing, he locked himself in the Red Keep, along with the corpse of former Prime Minister Jon Clinton.
Even the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Council were not entitled to see the remains of the Prime Minister.
There were some doubts about whether Jon Clinton's death was true at first, but soon after news came out of the court, it was believed to be true.
Some court servants saw Jon Clinton's corpse with their own eyes, claiming that his surface was covered in frost and still lifelike, as if asleep.
Those in the empire who watched the fun and did not take it too seriously were disappointed to see this scene. They thought that His Majesty the Emperor was cowardly, and they were afraid of Dorne, and they were afraid of re-interpreting the war as Aegon's invasion of Dorne.
However, the dragon then burned down the city of Tianji, the ancient and glorious 'King of the Cliffs and the Sky' the Fowler family, the prison gate castle of the little queen Rhaeny who once shot Aegon, and the family of Sandstone City. The news that the Kogel family was all wiped out from this world returned to King's Landing, and these talents were terrified, and the rumors were naturally self-defeating.
It is even said that Viserys did not go to Sunspear in person, but just flew to the Garden of Flowing Water, asking Prince Doran to come to the Iron Throne to explain the matter.
Prince Daolang, who had stayed in the Flowing Water Garden for decades because of gout, was silent for a long time after receiving this letter, and finally decided to go to the Iron Throne in person to explain in accordance with His Majesty's decree. Boarded the warship and sailed to Blackwater Bay.
In the cellar of the Red Fort, the silence could be heard as if a needle were dropped.
It was used to store keels during the Baratheon dynasty, but now Viserys has imprisoned himself here, along with Jon Clinton's corpse.
The news leaked from the Red Fort was accidentally seen by a certain servant when he came in to deliver meals. Although Viserys only needs a very small amount of food to maintain a sense of satiety now, he no longer needs to take nutrients from food. But still maintain human habits.
At this moment, the lights in the underground world are dim, and the flickering firelight illuminates the side face of the silver-haired young man. He holds an unpredictable black mist in his palm. In front of him is Jon's coffin, and there is another one next to him. Faceless statue.
"Melassis, what do you want me to do?"
Viserys looked at the unpredictable black mist in his palm, then turned his head slightly and asked.
Now that the entire cellar of the Red Keep was empty, Viserys seemed to speak into the air, his voice echoing in the empty environment.
Fortunately, no one came in at this time to see this scene, otherwise I would be scared out of it.
And the next day, there will be rumors that His Majesty the Emperor has lost his mind, and the bloodline of the mad King Aerys II has the genetic hammer of neuropathy.
But others couldn't see the black fog in Viserys' palm, nor could they hear the voice of the woman in the stone statue talking, and Merasis said calmly after hearing Viserys' words.
"Touch this soul with your spiritual power, and wrap it in the fire of faith."
"Be careful."
Viserys's spiritual power has been close to the gods after devouring the power of the old gods. His spiritual power is too strong, and Jon Clinton's soul is constantly changing forms now, which is a manifestation of extreme horror.
Now in the sight of Jon's soul, it's like an ant seeing an elephant lying on the ground watching him, so he can't help trembling instinctively.
Merasis reminded Viserys to be careful and wrap it in a flame rich in divinity, just to ensure that the moment the two touched, Jon Clinton's soul would not be dissipated.
Viserys was a little fortunate that he had endured his curiosity, otherwise he would not be able to save people, but Jon would be trapped in a haunted soul.
"Jon?"
Viserys then cautiously made contact with Jon Clinton's soul and said hello.
However, this mass of black fog seemed to be frightened by some kind of fright. Suddenly, the whole body trembled, and even the color became a lot darker. With a strong inconceivable.
"His Majesty?!"
Jon Clinton's soul was unknowingly unconscious until Viserys reawakened it.
However, his memory still remained at the moment before his death. He led his soldiers to the city of Tianji, but because of his negligence, he encountered a counterattack from the enemy, was shot in the chest by a cold arrow, and then disappeared on the spot. life.
When Jon Clinton was dying, he also regretted his underestimation of the enemy. He was not afraid of death, but he was sorry for his newly married wife and the child who had just been pregnant and had not seen the world.
Jon Clinton was named Storm's End after helping Viserys unify the Seven Kingdoms, and he also had the post of Governor of the Stormlands, and after he settled down, he followed the introduction of others and chose a suitable wife.
The niece of Geoffrey Bracken, Governor of the Riverlands, and the fourth daughter of his brother, Janos Bracken, Beth Bracken, who is only now in her menstrual period, has just reached adulthood, and is also an old couple.
Viserys approved the marriage of the two families under his command, so the two completed their wedding earlier this year, and Viserys also attended Jon Clinton's wedding in person.
Because of her husband's work in the Royal Council, Beth also followed her husband to live in King's Landing after marriage, living in the Prime Minister's Tower.
And Beth was pregnant with the heir to the Clintons at Storm's End before Jon's expedition, and it's been a few months now.
Jon left the world with remorse and guilt, and the soul left the body, attracted by something about Viserys, into his hands, until Viserys reawakened him.
However, from Jon's point of view, this is indeed a little too scary. At the same time, although he knew that His Majesty mastered mysterious magic, he did not expect Viserys to have the ability to control the soul.
Now he is very clear that he is the state of the soul.
"it's me."
"Jon, what's over there?"
Viserys nodded slightly, then couldn't help asking.
However, his question made the other party silent for a moment.
