Chapter 364
Although I met Gate God and Rat Cook one after another, Dany didn't change his plan and left the Wall with old Aemon that night.
As for Second Stag and Night's Watch not believing Rat Cook, she didn't bother to prove anything.
Seeing that Fat Sam sucked Rat Cook's thigh bone out of the marrow, she turned her head away without saying a word.
Second Stag wants Fort Wall, let him take it!
Dany also wants to understand, not to mention that Jon and other Night's Watch never encounter Black Gate again, even if Second Stag forced Sam to open the Black Gate, even if Second Stag and Melisandre both entered the Black Gate, it would still be impossible for him to enter the Black Gate. Not necessarily like her, enter the azure wind ball and see Song of Wind.
You must know that at that time, she was the nine-color vortex and the second soul of the ring, and there were two dragon souls to help, so she rushed through the azure wind belt and got into the wind ball.
She doesn't believe it anymore, Melisandre's magic power is stronger than her plus two dragons?
So, Dany left with peace of mind.
Although the old Maester kept muttering "Mad Axe is not removed, Wall is uneasy", but he couldn't find the bloody ghost when he searched Nightfort. He could only tell Melisandre a few words and left with the Dragon Queen.
Dany rode the White Dragon, Barristan and the old man rode the Black Dragon, set off from more than one o'clock in the morning, when the sky was dawn, found a wood near Dreadfort, set up a tent for three hours, and slept for a night. After eating two cows from House Bolton, he continued on his way.
Around three in the afternoon, we came to Blackwater Bay.
Leaving Aemon and Barristan rest on the sea cliffs at Crackclaw Point - Dany can sleep on the dragon's back, but they can't - she is full of energy and rides the dragon for a walk over Dragonstone. Circling, found that the defenders were two or three hundred, and then flew westward in the direction of King's Landing, trying to find Bronn's fleet.
Well, there are quite a few ships on Blackwater Bay, Dany isn't sure which one belongs to Earl Bronn, or that Bronn is already at Driftmark?
She and Bronn made an appointment to meet at Driftmark.
So Dany decided to come to Velaryon.
Velaryon's castle is built on a cliff facing the sea, with the sea to the south, the High|Tide City to the west, and a small plain with villages to the north.
The main fort is built on the mountain, with different heights, surrounded by eight towers, six defensive towers on the front to lock the mountain road, and a star observation deck on the east side.
In the center of the fort there is a courtyard of 1,000 square meters, with flowers such as gypsophila and white daisies surrounding a dragon tower in the center.
Velaryon of course has a dragon tower for the dragon to take off and land.
But it's not very high. Due to the cliff topography, it has only four layers, and the top is 200 square meters wide, which is much smaller than the Dragon Pagoda in Volantis.
Big Black and Little White were a little crowded when they landed, with half their tails drooping outside the tower.
"My minister, Moterys Velaryon, welcomes Queen Your Majesty."
Two dragons circled in the sky and landed on the dragon tower, there was a child with a round face and a Chinese dress, Lead seven or eight Knights to kneel to greet them.
"Ai, it's so sad, you are the only child left in Velaryon." Dragon Queen forgot oneself's life experience, and felt pity for the little radish head.
"Your Majesty..." Little Moterys stared blankly at the Dragon Queen, somewhat not knowing what to do.
"Get up! I'm Daenerys Targaryen," Dany glanced at the various Knights and Maesters behind little Earl, and said loudly, "I'm going to take Targaryen's ancestral land, Dragonstone."
The hunchbacked old Maester quietly touched the little Earl's back, and the child immediately respectfully said, "Velaryon is willing to work for Your Majesty."
"I am willing to work for Your Majesty." Knight behind the child swore together.
sighed then said, Dany said: "Lend me the Dragon Tower for a few days, let's talk down there." However, dragon disappeared for more than 100 years, the downstairs bedroom and living room have been unoccupied for a long time, and the facilities are a bit outdated.
After tossing until night fell, the servants put on new beds, curtains, seats, and sofas.
In the living room, the fireplace is burning, and under the chandelier, there is a long table, Dany and little Earl are sitting opposite each other, Knight and two Maesters are sitting on both sides.
The maids filed in and brought Arbor Gold, steaming bread, freshly churned butter, thick beef broth, salad of green peas, onions and Beetroot, sea fish stewed with almond milk, roast duck, Fat chicken, grilled golden lamb chops...
It's hearty.
The two sides have introduced each other. Aemon and Barristan are still old acquaintances. Now everyone knows a lot, and the atmosphere at the dinner is very warm.
After two rounds of drinking for the Dragon Queen, Dany got down to business.
"Moterys, and Serres, you don't seem surprised by my presence?" she wondered.
Little Earl took a look at his Maester and whispered, "We got Raven from Citadel a week ago."
"Hehe, those bastards gotta do it first. ....." Dany came over immediately with a clear comprehension, and asked with a sneer, "You didn't say anything nice about me?"
"This..." Young Earl Moterys hesitated.
"They said that you violated your guest rights and murdered Archmaester who treated you as a VIP." The hunchbacked old Maester put down his glass and sighed bitterly.
"What?" Barristan was furious, "I never imagined that Citadel would be so shameless."
Dany was not very angry. If the lower limit of scholar is negative, take Absolute value, can be as high as the upper limit of scholar.
"Maester Newton doesn't seem to believe Citadel's rhetoric?" She was more curious about Driftmark Maester's attitude.
"I... suspect that Citadel did something against guest rights," said the hunchbacked old Maester with a grim expression.
"What Citadel did has nothing to do with you." Dany comforted the sensible old Maester, and then explained in detail what happened that day, including the "real world" and Dance of the Dragons The truth is not concealed.
Driftmark and the others were stunned and incredulous at first. After they reacted, they were filled with righteous indignation and slapped the table hard and cursed.
"This time Citadel is only afraid of shooting oneself in the foot. Archmaester Perestan is not dead at all, and is even sending a letter of help to all Earl and above nobles in Seven Kingdoms." The old Aemon said with a complicated expression.
He hated what Citadel did.
dragon The pain of extinction Targaryen will never forget, and he will never forgive Citadel who planned this, but he deeply understands that Citadel has served Westeros for thousands of years, and he has made outstanding contributions.
If Citadel's reputation is lost, the nobles will no longer trust Maester wholeheartedly, and without the support of nobles, Citadel without honor and credit will not be able to sustain.
Aristocrats and Westeros are inseparable from Maester!
"Citadel is also stupid. Almost all Archmaesters know the truth about Dance of the Dragons, so they can guess the reason why Citadel dealt with me. Dozens of Archmaesters in Citadel can stop you?
Even if they don't say it, I always get a few Archmaester captives, when the time comes not the truth?" Dany taunted.
“Does Archmaester know?” Drink Ser lost his voice.
"So many people know, why hasn't the secret been spread?" Ser Sudas wondered.
To be honest, Dany oneself is also very curious. The archives are in the book cellar, and all Archmaesters are qualified to borrow them. How many Archmaesters have been in hundreds of years, why has no one ever told them?
And the Targaryen of all ages, too… careless to describe them.
How stupid do you have to be to not hear anything?
Actually, Dany got two things wrong. First, before the Targaryen genocide, there were no files of Dance of the Dragons and the real world in the cellar. At that time, ordinary Archmaester did not know the core secrets of Citadel at all; second , Maester's promotion to Archmaester's system is far stricter than she imagined.
If any Archmaester's mind is "unhealthy", there are outsiders...especially Targaryen revealing Citadel's secret thoughts, the Archmaesters will surprise him before he acts.
For example, Marwyn, the bull neck, the extravagant hero Archmaester who can cut people with a knife and write poetry with a pen, is also afraid of Citadel. Poison.
Forget Targaryen, even The Spider Varys didn't know Citadel's ambition to build a "real world".
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with the Citadel?" the hunchbacked old Maester said worriedly.
"Ai, Archmaester and Maester who committed crimes, put on black clothed, and all sins will be wiped out! As for Citadel, I will not ban Citadel, maybe change the place, change the name, you must get it Big reform."
"Your Majesty kindness!" Old Newton relieved, the whole person relaxed.
"How about I convey your message to Citadel tonight?" He probed with a pleasing expression.
Dany waved his hand and said resolutely: "No, take down Dragonstone and let Maester Aemon represent me and inform them of the outcome of the trial."
"Yes, yes yes! That's how it should be. ." Maester Newton nodded again and again and said with great agreement.
But there was a letter that night, sent by Maester Newton on behalf of Dragon Queen, to Adrian Celtigar Earl at Claw Isle next door.
It was late at night.
Learning the details of Others, the hunchbacked Maester and Drink Ser took their dozing little Earl away with a heavy expression.
The old Aemon, nestled in a fur seat by the fireplace, mused, "The Driftmark will help you when you attack Dragonstone, but it will be a burden afterward.
I fear that King's Landing will not spare the enemy on our doorstep, and battle is inevitable.
At that time, you will have to protect Earl Moterys, your servant and the only seed of House Velaryon."

"If I ride a dragon and burn the Red Keep, will the Seven Kingdoms nobles think I'm Mad King II?" Dany said with a sneer.
"It will," said old Maester with certainty.
“Red Keep is to Targaryen what Winterfell is to Stark, and Eyrie is to Arryn. Your Majesty, you don’t like Red Keep, but it doesn’t mean that its symbolic meaning is gone.” Barristan also advised .
"That's why I don't want to recruit too many old Crownlands ministers. Loyalty aside, the price paid to protect their territory is far more than helpful to me." Dany helplessly said .
But Driftmark is different from Claw Isle, whether she comes today or not, whether Little Earl is loyal to her or not, when she takes Dragonstone, King's Landing will regard Driftmark and Claw Isle as her forces.
This is known to all of Velaryon's retainers, as is Claw Isle Earl.
Because of understanding that Targaryen's mark on oneself is too heavy, Claw Isle Earl immediately ran away, and even before the Dragon Queen came, he was ready to hold the Three Headed Dragon flag high.
"I hope Earl Celtigar can give me some strength, I don't ask him to bring me much help, I can just protect myself." Dany sighed.
Old Aemon's eyes flashed lightly and said with a slight smile: "Actually, you still have a party to rely on, and they are absolutely loyal to Targaryen... In fact, they are only loyal to Targaryen.
Not only many people, but also all of them are brave and good at fighting, so they won't be your burden."
"Who?" Dany came to be interested.
"Southern Wildlings," said old Maester oddly.
