Chapter 112
Whitebeard finally understands why Dany is called "The Unburnt" because she really doesn't burn.
She earned enough tears and admiration from the public for her "flogging" yesterday morning, and Queen Dany was almost advanced for Saint Dany the Blessed - unfortunately, there is no Septon of Church of The Seven here.
Everyone in the city, no matter the new Free Folk, or the Ghis ordinary person and the Ghis nobles, all respect her to the extreme.
As soon as the news spread outside the city, more than a dozen large estate owners closest to the city announced their surrender.
Because in the process of Queen Dany's personal deification, the "Queen legal code" formulated by her has also become as heavy as Mount Tai, sacred and inviolable.
Queen Your Majesty made it infinitely holy and majestic with blood.
It can be said that in the 10,000-year history of this different world, there has never been a legal code that has been so wholeheartedly accepted by the public, and filled with awe on the day of its birth. .
That's Dany's main purpose.
She, who has the history of the Celestial Dynasty, has too many means and routines to gain the respect and admiration of the people. It is too stupid and too expensive to whip oneself.
The core purpose of the 50 whips yesterday is to promote "legal code". As long as her legal code is quickly known and accepted by the public, Astapor will be able to settle down in the shortest time, supported by her burden her cornerstone.
Dany doesn't forget that there are Yunkai and Meereen to the north, New Ghis to the south, Qarth to the east, and Volantis to the west.
Those city-states rely on slave trade to maintain their abnormal prosperity, and they will not easily let go of the "abnormal" Dany.
Compared to these, the price of 50 whips is too low and too low.
No, I spent the night in the charcoal grilling last night. When I woke up this morning, all the scars were scabbed over. In a few days, not only will the wounds be completely recovered, but even a trace of scars will not be left.
Whitebeard, who saw Queen's meat roasted by fire for the first time, was inexplicably horrified, and kept mumbling: True Dragon, True Dragon, those Mad Kings in history are not all lunatics, it turned out that they were really in the fire The reborn True Dragon!
He thought about it all night, then this morning, he came to Dany, one-knee kneels said, "Queen Daenerys Your Majesty, I have something to tell you."
Top of the pyramid In the garden, under the shadow of the Fruit Tree, a soft couch stood there, and Dany lay on it, leisurely flipping through a thick book.
The salty sea breeze blowing from the sea in the distance, mixed with the sweet fragrance of apples overhead, and the faint and elegant smell of pansies and cosmos next to it, deduced an intoxicating vitality around Dany.
"What's the matter?" Dany didn't take his eyes off the book.
After taking full control of the 18 pyramids and the Temple of the Graces, she moved all the books - as long as they did not repeat, no matter what the text or content was - into the Great Pyramid under her.
So, in this era before printing, Dany had a huge and extravagant library.
Well, there are more than 300 books...
What she is reading now is a history book, the author describes the causes of Ghis from the perspective of Ghis people The Five Great Wars of the Fall of the Empire, the National War with the Valyrians.
Through this relatively objective and impartial history book, Dany determined one thing, the Ghis Empire five thousand years ago was not Egypt, but more like the Kingdom of Horse Emperor.
In its Harpy logo, Banshee's claws are not slave chains at all, but golden lightnings, which have different meanings.
The former Ghis Empire can be regarded as a great and splendid civilization, but after the Valyrian destroyed the Ghis capital (Old Ghis), the Ghis people were completely degraded - do not blame them, the original existence of Slaver's Bay The purpose is to cultivate quality slaves for Valyrian, bed slaves, scholars, stewards, gardeners, servants, servants, etc.
Ghis people do not have the right to choose their own development model.
"Your Majesty..." Seeing that Dany was still obsessed with the book, Whitebeard called out again.
"I'm listening, you said."
"Ai, I lied to you." He lowered his head and sighed.
This time Dany became interested, put the bookmark and closed the book, looked back at the old man kneeling on the ground, and asked, "What did you lie to me?"
" My name is not Arstan," the old man hesitated with a hint of pride in his eyes, "my real name is Barristan Selmy."
Dany looked at him strangely, wondering why at this time Revealing your identity, nodded, said softly, "I guessed you were hiding your identity, but I didn't know it was Barristan the Bold.
Viserys told me a lot of Westeros Legendary stories, of which your deeds occupy a lot of ground. Most of them surpassed White Bull, second only to Sword of the Morning Arthur Dayne."
Dany's reaction left the old man both disappointed and sighed in relief.
Although Your Majesty didn't show the ecstatic, horrified look that he should have when meeting the Legendary characters, he didn't get angry because of his "three family slaves" and surrender to Usurper.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said in a slow voice: "His Royal Highness Prince is too famous. It was Gerold Hightower (White Bull) Ser who put on a white robe for me. He was the Legendary Captain of my life, and Ser Dayne's swordsmanship is beyond my reach."
"hehe..." Dany chuckled, looking at him oddly and said, "If Viserys was here, he wouldn't be so calm. Talk to you, and immediately let the guards drag you down and hack you to death.
In the past ten years, he never said a good word to you, and every time he mentioned White Bull, Sword of the Those Legendary Kingsguards in the morning will scold you by the way."
"Your Majesty, I...I am ashamed! I have tarnished the glory of oneself and dimmed the glory of Kingsguard." The old man blushed immediately, and was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.
"Ser Selmy, please stand up." Dany removed the smile from his face, said resolutely: "The facts in front of you are far better than the rumors - even if the rumors spread by millions of people. Get along a lot. Today, I have clearly witnessed your noble character and extraordinary martial skills."
The old man did not get up, but lowered his head and choked: "Your Majesty, your generosity makes me more and more ashamed."
It is to be generous enough to make you ashamed, otherwise how can loyalty be improved?
Dany said seriously: "I am not generous, what you have done before is enough to make you straighten your back and explain the purpose of oneself to me...
Ser Barristan, why did you run away from me? You wouldn't help Usurper to assassinate me, would you?"
"No, I never intended to hurt you." Whitebeard immediately waved his hand excitedly and said quickly: "My white robe has been taken away by Joffrey, and I will never serve those people in King's Landing again."
"Robert's heir Joffrey took off your mantle? Isn't Kingsguard a lifelong career, what does he do? Do that? Are you on the wrong side of Game of Thrones?" Dany asked curiously.
In Game of Thrones, Barristan doesn't have many roles, and the role is not clear enough. Her memory about him has long been blurred.
“Kingsguard dedicates his oneself life to King, how can there be a situation where he is on the wrong team?” Barristan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Whether kings are wise or mediocre, benevolent or cruel, wise or mad, Kingsguard devotes all their loyalty to them.
"House Clegane is Lannister's best and most ferocious hound. Gregor Clegane, known as 'The Mountain', is Duke Tywin's first bulldog. His younger brother Sandor Clegane is called 'Hound' , is the most obedient thug under Joffrey's men.
After the wicked boy boarded the Iron Throne, he hoped that oneself's dog would be clothed in white.
And Queen Cersei wanted his countrymen The younger brother, 'Kingslayer' Jaime Lannister, became the Kingsguard's Captain.
Get rid of me, and their mother and son's wishes can be easily fulfilled." Whitebeard said sadly.
"Well, putting it that way, if they keep you as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, you'll keep doing it and give them all your loyalty?" Dany asked with a frown.
"I don't want to lie to you, if Joffrey on Iron Throne hadn't stripped me of my position, I would probably have stayed in King's Landing to serve the King now, and it makes me ashamed to admit that, I do. An undeniable fact."
Speaking of this, he lifts the head and stares at Dany with sad eyes, "Your Majesty, please understand that Kingsguard was born with Aegon I, and its fundamental duty is to The king on the Iron Throne gave all his allegiance.
The change of dynasty was the first time in Westeros, and Robert Baratheon also has true dragon blood, his grandmother is Princess Rhaelle, Princess Rhaelle is your own Auntie, speaking of which you and Robert are still cousins."
This is a bit tricky...
"Okay, I see, Ser you are A Knight who regards honor as his life, and allegiance to Iron Throne is the greatest honor of Kingsguard." Dany nods?" After letting go of his "three surname slave" fault, he asked: "What are your plans now<
"Your Majesty, I am enlightened!" said the old man seriously.
Dany's mouth twitched, his teeth sour: "What is enlightenment?"
"When Joffrey took off the white cloak that White Bull had tied around my shoulders, and sent someone to kill him on the same day When I was alone, my eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of confusion - how did all this happen, and why?"
The tall and strong old man had a look of reminiscence on his face, and said in a loss: "I Grow a beard, disguise your identity, enter the Great Sept of Baelor, seek answers from The Seven...
From your father, to Usurper Robert, the evil and cruel Joffrey, I think a little bit, What the hell did I do with them.
Finally I clear comprehension, once put on white robe, I will be Kingsguard for life, but this time must find a real King, I will be true The king died."
"Am I your first subject?" Dany looked sideways at him.
"It's not even an investigation. When Illyrio told me you hatched three dragons, I decided to dedicate my life to you."
Is this your realization?
Because I have dragons, and dragons are invincible, the most hopeful to end the troubled times and unite the Seven Kingdoms again?
Thank you for going to the Great Sept of Baelor to pray for so long.
"Why are you hiding your identity?" she asked again.
Barristan's eyes widened, he looked around, and said solemnly, "Because you have King's Landing spies by your side, you and your big brother are actually being watched all the time.
As the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard, I am also a member of the House of Lords and am eligible to participate in all Small Councils, open or secret.
I have heard Varys report to Robert hundreds of times over your siblings over the past 14 years
Which Archon hosted you, which mercenary group did your big brother have contact with, and every promise made by Prince Viserys to the big Free Cities merchants in order to restore the country.... ..
Even every woman Prince had sex with, even the day you had your menarche, was reported in detail to King Robert and his Chancellor."
