Chapter 213
There is naturally more than one Heavenspan Pagoda in the Black Wall, not counting the minor nobles and wealthy merchants. There are more than 30 top Valyria nobles living here, including the Fourteen Flames.
Others do not say, almost every house in Fourteen Flames has a black tower to welcome the Dragonlord from the main house.
Roughly, there are 22 Heavenspan Pagodas in the Black Wall.
Of course, like the Maegor subfamily in Malaquo, the rest of the Blackstone Heavenspan Pagoda top floor has been remodeled, either with glass, wood domes, or into flowerbeds and pools.
But one thing is certain, these families follow the tradition of the "Children of the Sky" Valyrian, and the most noble people must live at the top.
In the living room of House Head, there must be precious items handed down from the ancestors.
For example, Valyria swords, Valyria books, statues, occult arts...
Volantene never imagined that the Mother of Dragons would cross three thousand kilometers and attack them , so, no Scorpion, no archer, no strong guards.
There are many towers on the top floor that don't even have servants, but are empty, waiting for someone of noble character to ride a dragon to steal or rob.
Get used to it.
"What is Mother of Dragons doing?"
Bu Cheng looked in the direction of Firemage's finger, and in the darkness, the dark red Dragonflame flashed and closed, leaving only the wobbly The flames burn slowly.
"Ah, what a vicious woman, she's going to clean up the House Heads of all noble families and break Volantene's spine!" Nyessos was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and shouted.
Someone in the stairwell was cleaning up the body, Dany also stopped, and shouted to Triarch with his sword, "It's no use screaming here, hurry up and take out your killing move, what Scorpion, Dragon Horn Yea, witchcraft and the like, it's all about this time, and it's still tucked away."
"No, nothing at all," Nyessos said, almost crying.
"How could there not be, you are going to attack Slaver's Bay, impossible is not prepared to kill the dragon?" Dany doubted.
"If True Dragon is so easy to deal with, how can we Valyrian rule the world? Why should we Volantene cooperate with Braavos for Dragon Hatching?" Triarch cried in despair, looking at the burning wooden dome in the distance.
It doesn't seem like there is a magic trick to kill, now I can relax.
"Where's Scorpion? Even the Ghis have Scorpion." She seemed more anxious than Volantene.
"The Ghis use ballistas to defend the city, which are placed on the city wall and have a horizontal range of more than 300 meters. They are very powerful and can kill elephant soldiers. But the vertical flight height is less than 50 meters, right? The dragon in the sky doesn't have much effect."
"Let's break up," Dany waved his hand and said to the Shadowbinder group in a dejected manner, "Look, these guys don't even have a Scorpion, so they're still planning to break up. Slaver's Bay."
"huhuhu!" A gust of wind blew on the flat ground, the flames on the corpse not far away crackled, the stairs were opened, and air rushed up.
"Quick, rush over," Steward urged the minions loudly.
Soon more than a dozen slaves in wet sheets stepped on the hot stairs and rushed up with stretchers.
"We have the Scorpion, the real Scorpion from Westeros." Nyessos said as he climbed onto the stretcher, "Qohor was a member of the United Nations, even though he wasn't.
Three months ago they took the Allied order to build the Scorpion for us.
Half a month later, the first batch of 1,000 ballistas will leave Qohor and follow Rhoyne south to Volantis."
Dany's heart tightened and asked, "Where did Westeros' Scorpion come from?"
"Did you bring it?" She turned her head and looked towards Pyromancer.
Slave starts running down the stretcher, Dany following behind Triarch, Pyromancer and Moonsinger following her.
Well, except for Bu Cheng and Shadowbinder, the other low-level Mages didn't get a stretcher.
"Scorpion's blueprint is kept tightly in the Imperial Family library, so I can't get it." Pyromancer's blackened face showed a wry smile.
"Hehe, that woman is strong, yes, but she is really against the whole world this time." Nyessos sneered a few times and said with a twisted face: "Westeros people are more anxious than us, When the Allies failed, most of the sea merchants went home to farm the land. The suffering was a little bitter, and the whole family was safe.
But Lannister, Baratheon, Stark, Tully, Arryn, Duke of the five kingdoms even had the chance to surrender No, with the crazy, domineering, cruel character of Mother of Dragons, can you not exterminate them?"
Am I crazy, domineering, and cruel?
Good, good!
“so that's how it is. Stark, Tully, Baratheon are fading, and the person who sent the blueprint should be Lannister?” Dany said with a smile.
"No, the guy who brought us the blueprint is from Oldtown, representing the attitude of Highgarden." Nyessos shook his head.
Going out of the corridor, the doctors waiting in the palace immediately gathered around to clean up Triarch's wounds.
"Highgarden?" Dany was shocked, what script is this?
Reach originally belonged to the House Gardener...well, the Reach King was named "The Gardener".
Tyrell is only the steward of the Highgarden gardener, barely a middle noble in Reach.
In the War of Conquest, the Gardener's family all died in the Battle of "Field of Fire", as Tyrell of the High Steward of Highgarden opened the city and surrender, Aegon Targaryen rewarded with "Highgarden Duke".
For three hundred years, Tyrion has been a loyal follower of Targaryen.
In the battle of Usurper, Targaryen's only ally is Highgarden Tyrell (unfortunately, he chose the wrong commander, Mace Tyrell Duke's fighting skills are too trendy, if Randyll Tarly (Jon's friend, Sam Tarly's father) is commanded , I can't say that Targaryen Dynasty can really survive).
At that time, even Rhaegar's eldest brother, Dorne Martell, was just standing by and watching.
So until now, Viserys, Dany, Barristan, Jorah Mormont all think Tyrell can be an ally in Targaryen's recovery.
This time in Westeros, Dany is even going to visit the Citadel.
But now...the entire Seven Kingdoms, isn't there a loyal minister?
After thinking for a while, she asked tentatively, "What's Lannister's attitude? I heard that Lannister and Tyrell were married, and Highgarden may be conveying what Duke Tywin meant."
"Maybe, We sent envoys to King's Landing and invited King Joffrey to join the Allies. Tywin Lannister did not expressly refuse at the time, only deduced that Westeros was in ruins and could not support wars thousands of miles away in the short term."
Triarch drank a cup of poppy milk and fell asleep, while the doctor took the opportunity to help him fix his bones.
"Let's go," Shadowbinder pulled Dany's sleeves, "it's time to leave."
Dany said with displeasure, shaking off the dripping black long sleeves. Not even a single piece of clean clothes?"
"With hundreds of nobles dead, who would have the heart to entertain us?" Bu Cheng shook his head.
Several people went downstairs and chatted.
"Where do you live?"
"Merchant's House."
"Oh, on the same road, I have something to do—"
"dang dang dang..." As he was talking, a heavy, long bell rang suddenly above his head.
"Is this a call to Tiger Cloaks, the whole city is under martial law?" Shadowbinder looked towards the Volantis servant who was leading the way for them in confusion.
"The Black Wall warning bell, used to welcome the noble Dragonlord in the Valyria period, is now mostly used to issue fire alarms, and it is burning!"
"The movement is a bit loud, which may cause Mother of Dragons." Pyromancer worriedly said.
"It's been burned here, what is she doing here?" Dany sneered.
"Bang-bang!"
dragon cry like lightning pierces the night sky, the bells come to an abrupt end, and the sound of houses being burned by Dragonflame can be faintly heard at the bottom of the tower. hear.
And the shrill whine of the steward.
Everyone looked towards Pyromancer in unison, their eyes were weird, and the Westeros shivered violently.
"I, I'm just guessing," he said shyly.
"Ai, let's break up, dragon is too fierce!" Dany sighed, "Poor Triarch Nyessos, who managed to escape with wisdom and courage, only to be affected by the sound of fire alarm bells, it's too miserable Now."
"You can't break up. Having seen the power of dragon, Volantene will need us more and will value our power more." Bu Cheng shook his head.
“Also, I came all the way from Yi Ti to Dragon Hatching, more than 10,000 miles away, and took a boat for several months, so I am not willing to go back like this!”
"I heard that Grand Mage Wood is getting ready to..." Dany stopped immediately after seeing Volantene running in panic in the yard.
Briskly trot out of the tower, stand on the lawn and look up.
Sure enough, the windows of the top palace were full of flames, and the whole floor was lit. In the Dark Sky Curtain, Heavenspan Pagoda was like a flaming torch.
A team of Tiger Cloaks had already rushed over from the ground, and a large group of Volantis young and old walked out of the house. Some people looked at the burning black tower in doubt, and some people panicked and shouted "fire".
Some people also caught a glimpse of the dragon's silhouette in the firelight, and heard the roar of a suspected dragon cry, screaming in fear: "Mother of Dragons is calling!"
More people want to participate The fate of the relatives at the black tower party couldn't help crying.
In the chaos, the five Mages climbed onto the two white elephants, passed through the surrounding crowd, and slowly walked towards the Black Wall city gate.
"Grand Mage Wood is going to Slaver's Bay to join Mother of Dragons, you know?" Dany asked Bu Cheng across from him.
She and Pyromancer changed seats, Westeros and Tamm, Moonsinger took a huge elephant, Dany and Yi Ti Necromancer took a fort.
"Mother of Dragons? No future." The Yi Ti man shook his head.
"The sky is burning, the dragon is roaring, and her enemies are wailing in the fire. If I hadn't dragged you to run, you would now be melted into a scorched stench by Dragonflame, like the hundreds of dead ghosts. The grease."
"Ai, be that as it may, but Mother of Dragons didn't hurt Volantis at the root, and you heard, half a month later, Qohor will deliver a Thousands of Scorpions."
Dany thought for a moment, then said, "I saved your life, didn't I?"
"en."
" How are you going to repay me?" Dany said with a smile.
"Uh..." Bu Cheng was stunned for a moment, then he said, "I thought you were a good-hearted person."
"I'm a good person," Dany affirmed , Laughed said, "Good people want to learn Necromancy, what do you think?"
"This, Guild of Necromancers..." Bu Cheng's expression changed a bit, seeing Dany staring at oneself, without saying a few words of relaxation, he gritted his teeth and said resolutely: "Fundamental meditation must not be leaked, I can only teach you two spells."
"Also. "
Dany already has the most powerful Grand Sorcerer inheritance and doesn't need the meditation of other Sorcerer Sects at all.
