Chapter 350
Mance Rayder survived, and Second Stag, moved by Dany's suggestion to "hold the feudal overlord and you control his vassals", decides to keep King-Beyond-the-Wall in command.
After the trial.
King's Tower sixth floor, Dragon Queen's parlour, by the fireplace.
"It's useless, beyond the wall Free Folk will no longer obey a king who was captured by a southern lord." Mance looked at the little baby in his arms lovingly, and said to Dany without looking up.
He is partially free at this point, with two Night's Watch guarding him, and he can move freely in Castle Black.
The past few days, Mance's son, wife Dalla and sister-in-law Val all lived in King's Tower. After his freedom, he came to visit his wife child for the first time.
Dany lightly said with a smile: "I know, I just want to find an excuse to keep you alive, your wife just gave birth to a baby, how pitiful you are without a father?
Of course, Not only did I save you out of pity.
I will leave the Wall soon, there are still a lot of troubles in Essos continent waiting for me to deal with, the mission to transfer Free Folk to Eastwatch will be handed over to you.
As long as you still bear the title of King-Beyond-the-Wall, you must fulfill the duty of oneself - let more Free Folk live the Long Night of this time."
Mance Rayder gently pulled the fur quilt to cover his son's soft cheeks, the kind and peaceful look on his face faded, and seriously said: "I am very happy to see Free Folk leave the Wall across the sea, and even let someone use my name. Go to Haunted Forest to help you recruit Free Folk.
But will Stannis allow me to run back and forth between Castle Black and Eastwatch?
Or, he plans to take Free Folk for himself, Will you be willing to let you receive Free Folk smoothly?"
"Stannis..." Dany frowned for a while, and said, "He's not stupid, he should understand that Wall can't support 100,000 Free Folks.
In fact, he can't even feed 10,000 people. The food stored in Night's Watch can't last long, and his army relies on the supplies of Night's Watch to survive. For his oneself, he must put the food in the Wall as soon as possible. Free Folk sent away."
"Why didn't you just kill him?" Val, who was standing aside, asked suddenly.
"Why kill him?" Dany wondered.
Val looked at her firmly and said: "He and his brother took your father's throne, and now he intends to continue to compete with you for the seat of King of the Seven Kingdoms.
And , the sword in his hand is very suitable for you, maybe you are the Child of Prophecy and need that Red Sword.
If it were me, I would have let the dragon eat him for any of the above reasons.”
"When you know more about the cause of the Usurper battle, you will understand that my father and big brother have done far more evil than Stannis brother.
As for Red Sword, on this world There are still many things that can be attracted by me, but I don't want to grab them. In most cases, I have to follow the rules."
Val was startled, and gradually looked thoughtful.
"Boom thump..." Barristan came over with two canvas bags, and before entering the door, knocked on the iron wood door a few times, reminding several people in the house.
“Your Majesty, your luggage is ready,” White Cloak said.
"Going tonight? Too soon?" Mance Rayder asked in surprise.
Dany got up, took the oneself backpack from White Cloak, checked the contents, and said, "Wall has nothing to do here, but at Braavos, there's a tough fight waiting for me. "
Darkstar Gerold Dayne is coming to Braavos.
After "washing" Quaithe's Soul with the True Dragon roar last night, she also chatted with her about Greenseer and Old Gods via glass candle.
Quaithe's advice is simple, leave Westeros and work on cultivation.
She believes that the Grand Sorcerer meditation method is by no means inferior to Greenseer's. The reason why Dany followed the Three-Eyed Crow's way is because his skills and experience are not as deep as the other's.
Dany's meditation was just learned a month ago, while Bloodraven not only has the complete Greenseer inheritance and cultivation for a hundred years, but also inherited the magic power, mental strength, and experience of countless Greenseers over the past ten thousand years. There is a big gap between the two. normal.
According to Quaithe's idea, with Dany's innate talent, he should bury himself in hard work for ten or eight years, and then he will have the power to protect himself in front of Greenseer without relying on dragons.
After that, Dany habitually checked the three coordinates marked by oneself and a "netizen".
Netizen Marwyn, with Magic classics such as "Magic Power Network" and "Sorcerer's Lens Structure Analysis", joined the fleet led by the fourth White Cloak Garth Hightower together with the little black girl Alleras.
Well, these cheats in the cellar were "borrowed" from the Citadel by Old Man of Oldtown.
Fleet is huge, Old Man of Oldtown great generosity, more than a hundred flat cargo ships, ten battleships, carrying three million Golden Dragon cash, set off from Oldtown port, at the Summer Sea south of Westeros at this time floating.
Coordinate one, in three or four days, Gerold will arrive at the port of Braavos by merchant ship.
Coordinate two, the filial son of the Dragon Queen, Jaqen, has fled the Citadel with a clay pot.
Dany did not report him directly.
Actually, she didn't tell anyone about the Faceless Men Jaqen except Barristan and Aemon.
She just asked the old man to borrow books from the library and kill two birds with one stone. Among the titles the old man reported to the Citadel Archmaester was the one stolen by Jaqen.
Citadel Archmaester is not stupid, and found that a large number of books related to dragons were lost, but the door and lock were not broken, so naturally they immediately began to investigate the thief.
And the key is in the hands of Archmaester Walgrave, Archmaester is a dementia, and the apprentice who served Archmaester must be suspected.
How dare Jaqen in the form of Pate be interrogated by Citadel?
Look at Zoan, the apprentice who ate Archmaester's waffles - just because he was corporally punished by Maester for stealing his mouth, you can understand that Maesters never "a gentleman uses his mouth and not his fist", he will definitely "Pate" used lynching.
Jaqen, with a human skin mask on his face, dares to be slapped?
Faceless Men stabbed two Maesters who had arrested him on the spot and escaped as "Pate".
Although Jaqen wanted to create the illusion of an apprentice stealing books and selling them for money, Citadel Archmaester was not only not stupid, but also very smart, and immediately inferred two things from the changes in Pate most recently: Faceless Men Come to the Citadel to steal dragon-related books, and the Braavos plan to Dragon Hatching!
Then the Archmaesters got mad, and they decided to give the shameless Braavos and the vile Faceless Men a vengeance in the way of the Dragon Queen...
Coordinate three , the one-eyed Faceless Men went to Volantis.
Dany's worrying speculation has been confirmed that the House of Black and White in Braavos is not the only stronghold of the Faceless Men, Volantis also has a Faceless Men branch.
On the surface, it was a Trading Company. In fact, it is a gathering place for small killers and intelligence dealers. Both identities can be disguised, disguising the fact that this is a Faceless Men stronghold.
In fact, this is understandable, just like the killer in the movie. Every top killer has a top manager who helps him answer missions, inquire about news, provide equipment, arrange itineraries... er, betray his brother when necessary, kill a witness to silence them, abandon one's benefactor after achieving one's goal, embezzling the killer's companion's deposit.
The world of Song of Ice and Fire is so big, and the information exchange is so primordial, there is no "branch" to help with inquiring about news, arranging trivial matters, providing a list and information of replaceable people, even if the Faceless Men are the top The Rambo, 007, and Tom Cruise are also difficult to complete the assassination mission.
In fact, both 007 and "Mission Impossible" have a huge team behind them.
So it's troublesome.
Dany can't throw a Meteorite, or the Rod of God, on the House of Black and White. It's easy to push down House of Black and White, but it's too much trouble to cut the grass without eradicating the roots.
She still dare not go to the prairie to pick up her cheap son, why?
Fear of assassination.
Not only Faceless Men want to let a child die too easy, and that little child hinders the interests of too many people...
Faceless Men want to kill It's hard for Dany, but it's not too easy to kill her companions. We haven't broken the face yet, everyone is open strife and veiled struggle within the rules. If Dany dares to bomb the House of Black and White, a group of Faceless Men will take revenge on her on second day.
As long as all officers above the Dragon Queen Hundred Man Leader and officers above the Village Chief are killed, Slaver's Bay will collapse.
Of course, if the Dragon Queen is really alone, she will ride a dragon and burn a city with impunity. Everyone gameover together, let Others pick up a big bargain.
Dany definitely has to deal with the Faceless Men, but not recklessly, he has to outsmart it.
And how to deal with Faceless Men, she also has some eyebrows...
Just when she was thinking about it, Barristan put down her backpack and said worriedly: "Actually, we Don't leave the Wall, take the time to clean up the Others outside the Wall is the right way.
If there is a Others King, kill it directly and end the Long Night before the Long Night comes.
I really wait for the cold winter to come, as the weather gets colder and colder, the strength of Others will increase, and it will be more difficult to deal with it."
Dany was stunned, lightly said with a smile: "The idea is very good, It's a pity that the Others are wise, and they know what you know.
Before Long Night, the Others wouldn't come out to face us at all, and they would even deliberately avoid the direct sunlight.
Believe it or not, even if I go to Slaver's Bay and bring the other two dragons, the four dragons work together to burn the entire Haunted Forest to the ground, and I can't find a single Others, and I can't hurt a single one of them. Head hair."
Mance Rayder handed the baby to his sister-in-law, and worriedly said: "Then do you have a way to deal with it?"
Dany helplessly sighed then said, "Don't think about it. Take the initiative to attack, wait for Long Night to come, wait for Others to take the initiative to attack, and then rely on Wall to play defensive battles, which is the most practical and the best chance of winning.
Think about it, if I ride a dragon and breathe fire on beyond the wall While in the woods, a dragon was accidentally shot by Others Ice Sword and then resurrected by Others as a Wights dragon.
What will happen?"
"Uh, No way? The second time a large forest was burned, and the Others did not pose any threat to the dragon." Barristan said.
Why not?
I've seen Game of Thrones Grand Finale!
Dany complained in his heart, and said, "How can I walk by the river without getting wet shoes? Haunted Forest is more than 100,000 square kilometers. Do I have to burn it for a year, or two years? At that time, people and The dragon's nerves are numb, how can you avoid all Ice Swords?"
"Can dragons become Wights too? Dragons are fire, Others are ice, ice and fire are incompatible!" Mance Rayder Doubt.
"Dragons are also creatures, they die, and they leave behind their corpses. If Others really have Wights dragons, let's not say a single Dragonflame knocks the Wall down, then we really have nowhere to cry. ' Dany starts to spoil the show with a weird look.
"Like Horn of Winter, can your dragon burn down the Wall?" Val said strangely.
"Ai, if I don't have Others, I really plan to try it." Suddenly, Dany expression moved, looked towards Mance Rayder, and asked: "Stannis seized a huge horn from your hand, is it? Is it really Horn of Winter?"
