[Chapter 88 – Baelor’s Collapse]

He had dared such a reckless act only because of his fear for his mother and sisters.

He sensed that the Elder might know their fate and whereabouts.

It was not truly his intent to take the Elder hostage—Baelor knew that only by saving Terno, then joining him with the other Rhoynar Elders to drive out the Targaryens, could his family be rescued.

The carriage carrying Terno and Baelor had barely left the manor for a minute...

[Chapter 88 – The Unbreakable Vow]

Dawn narrowed his eyes.

In that process, he could clearly see two streams of silver-white mist clashing against each other within the trembling flesh of the donkey.

Dawn quickly understood what was happening.

The natural magic from outside was trying to turn this blood-curse carrier into a donkey, but the child’s own magic, under the control of his will, was resisting that transformation.

Watching this, Dawn suddenl...

[Chapter 87 – The Water Sorcerer]

The stunned drummers were cut down in an instant.

Arthur led the armored cavalry like a hammer striking through the enemy’s riders.

Seeing disaster descend, Terno and Ruchel abandoned their men and fled in madness. The water mages, drained of their strength, were like lambs awaiting slaughter.

Arrows rained upon them, sending bodies plunging into the reservoir with splashes of crimson.

Upon the high platform at the r...

[Chapter 87 – The Blood Curse]

“Can you guarantee it? That the power of the sacred scarab can truly rid me of this curse?” Dawn asked again.

From the man’s explanation, he already understood that the curse upon him was far from ordinary.

Yet the man seemed utterly confident about the scarab. “Of course, sir! Just think…”

He pointed toward a painting hanging behind the counter—

It was a desert scene on a faded yellow canvas, the sun blazin...

[Chapter 86 – Fire and Mist (Part 2)]

The sorcerers upon the watchtower began chanting their obscure incantations.

The melody wavered in and out, as though carried from ten thousand leagues above the clouds.

With their chant, the once-calm waters seemed to be draped in a thin veil of milky silk.

That veil thickened rapidly, swelling until it spilled outward from the reservoir banks at a pace visible to the naked eye.

Arthur, sensing danger, drew his gr...

[Chapter 86 – Magical Beasts: The Sacred Scarab]

Dawn narrowed his eyes.

Anubis’s shadow was still connected to his feet, holding the scales and spear.

He raised his wand.

But after the sunlight shifted across the tent, he suddenly realized his shadow had returned to normal.

He stood in silence for a moment.

Then, with a deep breath, Dawn turned and left without looking back.

..............

The bar was as crowded as ever.

[Chapter 85 – Fire and Mist]

The power of wildfire could be said to be the strongest force in this world.

But it was also the most unstable.

Transporting it was extremely difficult.

Take King Aegon IV, the so-called “Unworthy King,” as an example. He once ordered the pyromancers to construct seven “wood-and-iron dragons.”

These “dragons” were filled with wildfire in their bellies, intended to be used in an invasion of Dorne.

But befor...

[Chapter 85 – Investigation]

The sky was slowly brightening.

Dawn gathered all his belongings and left the inn.

Although his own examination showed that the strange dream from last night hadn’t caused any harm to either his mind or body, things had already come to this point.

No matter what, Dawn wanted to get this curse resolved.

He cast the Disillusionment Charm before heading downstairs.

Squinting against the rising sun, he thought carefully...

[Chapter 84 – The Water Mages]

Viserys was grateful that the leader of the Rhoynar was nothing like Baelor.

If even a small number of them had been like Baelor, his conquest of Gohor would have taken years rather than months.

As it was, Baelor had already been reduced to nothing more than a stable hand for the Elder.

Even while cleaning the Elder’s horses, he never forgot to worry about his fellow countrymen.

The stables were in the southwest corner ...

[Chapter 84 – Anubis! (Par 2)]

Although he didn’t know much about Egypt, there were still some very famous figures that Dawn recognized.

Looking at the face before him, both familiar and strange, a sense of absurdity rose in his heart, and he couldn’t help but call out its name.

Clack—

The jackal-headed man began to move slowly.

The rough walls seemed to ripple with folds as though something had brushed against them.

Then, large chunks of p...

[Chapter 83 – Draining the Pond to Catch the Fish]

“Your Majesty, isn’t it a bit too hasty for us to go to war right now?”

Old Crab disliked fighting wars. Wars not only failed to make money, they cost a fortune.

Oberyn also thought Viserys’ decision to start the war came a little abruptly.

After all, the last time—even against mere bandits and mercenaries—Viserys had started preparing back on Dragonstone.

In Oberyn’s view, they should at...

[Chapter 83: Anubis!]

Although the old man’s story was fascinating—and he even reminded Dawn that the Carter family had people in Egypt—Dawn had no real interest in those counterfeit protective amulets.

Ignoring the old man’s look of regret, he turned and walked away.

It was now about two in the afternoon.

Dawn planned to find a camel and head back to Cairo for a while. He wasn’t in a hurry to start exploring. His plan was to first study the Egyptia...

[Chapter 82 – Earning While Doing Nothing]

The group soon arrived at the designated meeting tent.

Because someone had to keep an eye on the wall construction progress, Oswell left midway.

Arthur stood to the right of Viserys, tall and imposing like an iron tower. Oberyn and the Old Crab flanked him on either side.

The man they were meeting was none other than the steward of Elder Terno.

His name was Ruchel.

The moment he saw the lineup Viserys ha...

[Chapter 82: Tutankhamun’s Curse and Another Carter!]

The old man didn’t reject Dawn’s request—he simply gestured for him to browse freely.

Shortly after, the old man shifted his gaze toward the tent entrance as another customer walked in.

“What do you need?” he rasped.

..................

Dawn walked over to the item shelf and picked up a ring, bringing it up to examine it carefully.

But soon, his expression began to shift.

[Chapter 81: Dragons and the Thick Mist]

Since Viserys had already decided to move against the Rhoynar along the Rhoyne River, he had to accept the possibility of conflict with them.

If he wanted to use food as a weapon, then he had to be ready for them to try to “borrow” grain by force.

Freygo’s envoy had warned him before: some of the Rhoynar possessed the ability to use water magic.

It was said that they could conjure thick mist to obscure the enemy�...

[Chapter 81: The Amulet]

“Boss, are you saying that gods truly existed in ancient Egypt?” Dawn asked.

“Who knows?” The bar owner shrugged. “But it’s exactly that sense of mystery that makes it all the more fascinating.”

Dawn narrowed his eyes.

The existence of gods had always been a debated topic in the wizarding world.

The most direct piece of supposed evidence was the tale of Death and the Deathly Hallows from The Tales of Beedle the Bard...

[Chapter 80: The King’s Treasury]

Although Old Crab was well aware of Viserys’s plans, he still thought the wages being offered were far too generous.

“Your Grace, I believe we could reduce the pay to twenty iron coins. That’s already more than they earn growing grain,” Old Crab advised cautiously.

“No,” Viserys replied, “I’ve done the calculations.

Thirty iron coins is just enough to attract the Rhoynar from farther away to come build our c...

[Chapter 80: The Egyptian Wizarding World]

Dawn didn’t begin with questions right away. Instead, he exclaimed in surprise, “Boss, are you Egyptian? Your English is really good!”

“That’s nothing,” the man replied with a smile, shaking his head as he poured himself a glass of amber-orange liquor. Through the dim light, it looked like tiny fish were swimming inside the glass.

“There are plenty of British wizards who come to Egypt for curse-breaking work. ...

[Chapter 79: The Price]

Baelor arrived at the Elder’s manor with a sense of near-martyrdom in his heart.

The cold wind howled like a mischievous child, sneaking into his collar and sleeves with a biting chill. He tightened his coat and knocked on the gate of the Elder’s manor.

The manor was surrounded by a wooden palisade, behind which stood a row of pine trees to block the wind.

Of course, their more important purpose was to shield the eyes of commoners f...

[Chapter 79 – The Pyramid of Khufu]

7 a.m.

The sky was just beginning to lighten.

Dawn awoke from the haze of sleep, confused for a moment by the unfamiliar ceiling above him—not the usual bronze color he was used to.

Then he remembered: he was in Egypt now.

After washing his face and clearing his mind, Dawn stepped out of the hostel.

Unlike the quiet scene when he arrived last night, the streets were already filled with people. He couldn’t ...

[Chapter 78 – The Spy]

When Viserys met and spoke with the two so-called spies, he couldn’t help but recall a lesson he had once taught in a previous life.

There was a line in that lesson—

[Those who live in luxury often look down on others and fail to see what lies ahead]

“So you two came to me like this only because you couldn’t meet with the Elders, and wanted to persuade your people to return through me instead?”

Viserys asked with a blan...

[Chapter 78 – The Anonymous Letter and Arrival in Egypt]

“Minerva, where is Dawn right now?”

The moment Dumbledore saw the words Flesh-Splitting Curse written on the parchment, he instantly knew who had written the note—and a faint sense of dread crept over him.

“In the Ravenclaw tower… We had the young wizard stay in his dorm all day today, and dinner was delivered to his room.”

Professor McGonagall responded instinctively. Seeing the grim expre...

[Chapter 77– Village Chief]

The small misunderstanding didn’t bother Viserys.

Once the village elders learned that Viserys was actually a king, none of them dared to treat him lightly.

After all, a warrior like Arthur—tall, imposing, and godlike—stood respectfully behind the young king. It was obvious the soldiers outside were also under his command.

“In front of you stands Viserys Targaryen the Third, King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First M...

[Chapter 77 – A New Journey]

West London, Kensington.

One of the most affluent districts in the UK, Kensington was renowned for its elegant residential neighborhoods, world-famous cultural institutions, and lush greenery.

At this moment—

Inside a villa in Kensington, a middle-aged man with a broad frame set down the telephone. A deep furrow formed on his brow, and his expression was far from pleasant.

"My dear, what’s wrong?"

"Why though, Ang?"

"You didn’t hear? That king was actually beaten and driven away. He came here to raise an army and reclaim his kingdom. But look at this place—we’re dirt poor. How could we possibly feed his soldiers?"

Ang was young and quick on his feet, so he often heard things others didn’t.

He’d seen it himself when Ock led a raid on the hideouts of the bandit leaders.

[Chapter 76: Preparations]

The crowds in Diagon Alley were as bustling as ever.

Dawn first avoided the familiar faces at Jiggers’ Apothecary and bought some mid-to-low grade potions from other shops as a backup.

Then he began to consider—what else might he need?

He strolled along the street for a while.

Suddenly, Dawn came to a sharp stop.

“Oh, right—the wand!”

He’d just remembered something.

There was a magic school in Afri...

[Chapter 75: The Evil Dragon]

Oberyn finally felt like he had spotted a flaw in Viserys, and he spoke with a hint of triumph in his voice.

All this time, the young king had exerted immense pressure on him intellectually.

This realization gave Oberyn a rare sense of relief, like he could finally take a breath.

But Viserys didn’t even glance at him. Instead, he pointed south and said,

“Downstream along the Rhoyne River lies the territory of the Volante...

[Chapter 75: Destination!]

After muttering Voldemort's name a few times, Dawn slowly unclenched his fist and tried to calm himself.

He knew very well that pure anger did nothing but harm oneself.

Still, he planned to take some time to visit Voldemort’s old home… and scatter his father’s bones to the wind!

Let’s see how that monster plans to resurrect then.

Dawn ground his teeth and let out a cold snort.

But in the next second, another thoug...

Above Gohor, the air was thick with dust and swirling sands that rose ten or fifteen feet high.

When Oberyn arrived, he saw Viserys had already begun laying the foundations for the rammed-earth walls of the new city.

Brickmaking had only just started.

From the size of the foundations, it was clear that this first wall would enclose a far larger area than originally planned.

This would be no small undertaking—and the daily...

[Chapter 74 – A Dog Without a Home]

After tending to his injuries, Dawn began cleaning up the scene.

Unlike Voldemort, he needed to delay others from discovering his departure from the school for as long as possible. Some cover-up was necessary.

First, he cast Reparo to restore his wizard robes and any salvageable furniture. Then, with a few more spells, he erased the bloodstains and various lingering odors in the dormitory.
