Chapter 248
Seeing that everyone was in a low mood, the old Archmaester immediately cheered: "We don't envy, and we don't have to be jealous. Westeros people are self-improvement and struggle!"
"But if she can defeat the Allies and unite the Essos continent , to build a Targaryen empire similar to Old Valyria, why should we reject that kind of grand monarch?
To put it badly, according to her current achievements, let alone Tommen, Cersei and the like, even Aegon the Conqueror isn't as good, right?"
It was an olive-skinned black-haired man with a fleece-trimmed coat and three scorpions embroidered with black silk thread on his chest.
Baelor Brightsmile glanced at the sullen Garlan next to him, scolded: "Ser Arron Qorgyle, what are you talking about?"
"Bullshit?" Ser Qorgyle smiled contemptuously, "I Tell the truth! Dorne people never hide their hostility to Lannister, but someone has to sit on Iron Throne, Targaryen is much stronger than Cersei Lannister and the little child King."
"Sandstone is located in the middle of Dorne. Desert, how do you know about that woman?" Archmaester Perestan asked worriedly.
"Sunspear is a trading port no weaker than Oldtown. Everyone is not stupid. More than one sailor talks about Targaryen and dragons. How can we ignore it? Sixteen years ago, our King was still named Targaryen!"
"She's impossible to defeat the Allies, it's common sense, one person can't fight the whole world." Archmaester Perestan affirmed.
"Archmaester, if she fails, she can only give up the great major event business of liberating slaves and go home to inherit Iron Throne!" Dany said strangely.
"Uh, what, what do you say?" asked the old Archmaester in surprise.
"She has dragons, four dragons. Even if the Allies capture Slaver's Bay, can they stop her from escaping on a dragon? But the whole world is against her, where can she escape?
Only hometown, Westeros!
Even the Allies will support her return to Westeros, after all, she has dragons, prestige, and a chance to come back, if Mother of Dragons obediently and honestly return to King's Landing for Iron Throne, Slave merchants will raise their hands to welcome."
"This, this, how is this good?" Dany's analysis was reasonable, and the old Archmaester was in a hurry.
If you win, you will lead a million armies to return home with riches and nobles, and they will travel in golden clothes.
Can we the Seven Kingdoms not escape her shadow?
Dany's eyes flashed bright light, and said sadly: "You can ask Faceless Men."
The deep voice made the scene silent for a moment, and the torch's burning orange red light shadow All kinds of strange expressions were printed on the faces of everyone. Their eyes flickered and they looked at each other quietly, but they didn't say a word.
"cough cough," Baelor coughed a few times and changed the subject with a light smile, "Tonight is the Tourney's celebration party, so don't talk about any irrelevant topics."
>"Clown, come and give us a joke."
The musicians played the music, the guests cheered, and the venue became glorious again, as if the previous discussion had never happened.
On the morning of the second day, although Tourney's camp was not demolished, almost all the participating nobles were ready to leave the camp. Baelor also returned to the city to continue to supervise the construction of warships, and Garth Hightower stayed there to recruit Freerider.
As news of the female Knight "Rhaella" winning Tourney went viral in town, Dany was leading his horse back to Quill and Tankard when he heard a handsome singer with fair hair and blue eyes sitting in a hotel In the hall, while playing the harp, he sang the story of "Knight, the first woman of the ages" with a melodious voice. A group of apprentices and businessmen surrounded him, listening with keen interest pleasure.
Dany also sees a few acquaintances, the cross-dresser black girl Alleras and her buddies, cripple Mollander, fatty Roone and the others.
But no Pate.
What makes Dany frown is that the girlfriend of the scumbag apprentice, Rosey, the flower of the waitress, is being hugged by a handsome blond guy.
Although wearing green and gold-striped satin instead of Maester's gray robe, the four metal links on the silk rope around his neck still identify him, Maester's apprentice.
An apprentice from a wealthy family.
Did Pate get ripped off?
Not quite, Rosey looked sad, her eyes were red, she seemed to cry, and she was obviously not willing to accept the predetermined fate - like mother, to become a barmaid.
"ahhhh, Knight Rhaella!"
While wondering, a waitress saw Dany, opened her mouth and shouted.
At this moment, everyone in the hall looked over, even the singer stopped singing, and ran to Dany's side with a harp in his arms, and said affectionately: "Oh, Lord Knight, let me be you My personal squire, I will write Legendary for you, so that your deeds will be known to countless people."
In Slaver's Bay, there are too many Little White-faced Bards who 'recommended pillow seats' to Lord Queen, Dany I don't know how many have been rejected.
She deftly threw a Golden Dragon and said with a faint smile: "Your song makes me very satisfied, but I don't need an accompanying singer."
Then at White Under Cloak's escort, she crossed the group of "groupies" who asked questions and went straight back to the backyard.
Didn't stay in the hotel much, washed and dressed up, changed into clean underwear, still wearing armor, left the tavern from the backyard, and walked along the stone arch bridge to the famous Citadel.
Theoretically, the Citadel core area does not accept women or recruit female apprentices, but the purpose of the rules is to wait to be broken by the privileged class.
House Hightower's daughters, daughters of the Seven Kingdoms Duke's family, and royal princesses can all enter the Citadel and be greeted by the Archmaester.
Dany has a title of "Waters" at this time, and her identity is not qualified, but she was invited by Archmaester Perestan last night to go to Citadel to discuss the trade deficit with Economics.
Well, the old Archmaester was frightened by the horrific fact that Seven Kingdoms lost more than 10 million Golden Dragons in fourteen years, and went outside her tent this morning to remind her not to miss her appointment.
Through this period of observation, Dany found that, in addition to the inexplicable hostility to oneself, Citadel's performance is still qualified.
They basically fulfilled their duties as oneself. Whenever they found a problem, they tried their best to find a way to solve it. Whether it can be solved is another matter, but the positive attitude is very commendable.
Citadel is right next to Honeywine, just a stone arch bridge from Quill and Tankard, and less than ten minutes to the gate.
Somewhat similar to a modern university, the rock-repaired door is very spacious, enough for three carriages to pass in parallel, and there is a tall green Sphinx statue on each side of the door, with a lion body, eagle wings, and snake tail, one of which has only one A man's face, the other is a woman's face.
This kind of Sphinx statue is also called the Sphinx of Valyria, both the stone carving itself and the custom of placing the Sphinx statue at the door are all derived from Old Valyria.
There is a desk on the left side of the stone passage behind the door, and behind it sit five or six gray robe instruments. They have chain links, but they are not enough to form a chain. They belong to Acolyte.
A dozen people from Oldtown gathered around, some asked to write letters, some old people clamored to write a suicide note, some held letter paper in their hands, and asked Acolyte to help read the letter, and some were simply fed up. Yes, watch the fun there.
There is a row of book stalls on the ground on the right side of the stone road, which is a bit like a stall near the bbs bulletin board selling old books, CDs, magazines, tennis rackets, basketball... ...
Dany went over to take a look, it's all old books, storybooks, history books, biographies, travelogues.
She squatted down and looked at it. Ninety percent of the books were written by Citadel Maester, and books related to Targaryen accounted for seventy percent of the total. ", "Rhaenys' Lover"...
Dany opened "Rhaenys's Lover" curiously and looked at it, and the result was so shocked that his three views were almost broken.
Aegon the Conqueror has two wives, elder sister Visenya, younger sister Rhaenys, Visenya is the first wife, Rhaenys is the true love (probably).
The book says that for every night Aegon spends with Visenya, he will spend ten nights with Rhaenys as compensation. But Rhaenys is accompanied by a lot of handsome men, whenever Aegon is with Visenya, Rhaenys will enjoy these beds - with lover...
"The Seven is on, this kind of Books aren't banned?" Dany asked the old apprentice who was selling books.
Well, the book is very old, the once snow-white parchment has become a shallow yellow, the gutter on the side is even a few shorter, and some of the pages are off.
This book is by no means new, and Targaryen is only 16 years old.
The gray robed old man who sells books is very old, bearded, hair grey-white, and wears silver-wire glasses, but there is still a rope around his neck, with four or five links on the rope.
An old apprentice.
"Why ban?" the old man wondered.
"There are a lot of boat scenes with Queen Rhaenys and her lover."
"But it's all true, the parties said, how can there be any mistakes? And Aegon defaults to younger sister The behavior of raising a lover was known to all the dignitaries in King's Landing at that time, and even brought up the custom of raising singers and poets as lovers among noble widows." The old apprentice looked serene.
Dany dropped the book with a wooden face and bought a hand-painted version of the Citadel map with two coins.
Citadel is built along Honeywine and has been continuously expanded for thousands of years. The internal architecture is extremely complex, and some towers are also built on small islands in the river beach. If there is no map, new tourists will probably get lost.
And Citadel is a university town, not a single Maester gathering place, Sept and Church schools are also included.
Although Citadel does not admit female apprentices, it does not cut off women's education. The Church School is specially prepared for Septa.
However, the Church School has little academic research, and primarily trains nanny maids who can read and write for large families.
Along the Great Way, Dany also saw several stone carvings of Targaryen King, all famous kings, Aegon I the Conqueror, Jaehaerys I the Old King, Daeron I the Young Dragon, Daeron II the Good.
Well, there's "Mad King" Aerys who was half-smashed.
Aerys is not a pure idiot, his life trajectory is a bit like Li Longji, first up and down.
In the first half of his life, he was quick-witted and charismatic. Together with Tywin, he worked hard to reform the country's malpractice.
In that period, Westeros was prosperous and prosperous, almost a different version of the "Kaiyuan Prosperity".
At that time, Citadel really set up a stone sculpture for him, who would have thought that he would change so much...
Dany and Barristan came to Seneschal's Court door , just to see a middle-aged apprentice in his forties screaming and being dragged out of the door by two Acolytes.
Barristan grabbed a lanky Maester who passed by and asked, "What's going on?"
"Zoan stole Archmaester Vaellyn's waffles."
