Chapter 404
"According to the news received four days ago, Cersei was forced to parade by Church yesterday to make amends. What do you think about this? Do you think High Sparrow is too inflated?" Archmaester Vaellyn said.
"Cersei deserves it!" scoffed Archmaester.
“The paramount kingship that Targaryen has sacrificed for generations, was once buried by that stupid woman. In the future, Seven Kingdoms will inevitably have a political pattern of opposition between kingship and theocracy.”
"I've never seen a dumber woman than Cersei, and if Daenerys were half as dumb and crazy as her, we wouldn't have to be so troubled."
"Strange to say, from Joffrey to Cersei, obviously It's Lannister, why has he awakened Mad King's bloodline?"
The Archmaesters discussed spiritedly, but were not too worried.
Because Westeros as long as there are nobles, the Citadel will not collapse.
I can't say that in the future, every Most Devout will also be equipped with a Maester, and High Septon, like King, has a Grand Maester who helps with government affairs?
Seneschal Theobald indifferently said: "Cersei is a thing of the past, King's Landing is now in the hands of Kevan. There's also news from Grand Maester Pycelle that Cersei may marry King Euron of Ironman's Bay."
"King Euron? That Euron who ascended the Seastone Chair through Kingsmoot, King Balon's younger brother?"
Theobald hesitantly said, "Euron may not have much ambition, at least... Better to get along with than King Balon. Since he came to power, he has strictly restrained Ironmen's piracy.
Not only did the pirates who originally harassed the coastal areas of Reach disappeared, Euron even promised to return the Shield Islands occupied by King Balon ."
"When did the Ironmen become so talkative?" the Archmaesters roared.
"Will there be crafty plots and machinations?" Vaellyn asked nervously.
"Hehe, greed and cunning are the nature of the Ironmen, how can they be easily changed?" Archmaester Theobald sneered and explained slowly: "It's complicated. First of all, the Ironmen have too few troops, but the front lines are drawn. Too long.
From Deepwood Motte in North, to Moat Cailin, to Shield Islands, to Mander estuary, to Oldtown, to Arbor, the north-south front is more than 8,000 kilometers of sea routes, if Ironmen don't make a choice , that's crazy!"
"That's right, King Balon calls himself 'Iron Islands and King in the North', and Euron takes his place. If Euron is sane, it's time to pay attention Putting it in digesting North's new territory. Going around like King Balon, it's crazy." Archmaesters looked thoughtful.
Seneschal reminded his colleagues: "Don't forget, the Arbor fleet led by Earl Redwyne is on its way home, and the Ironmen will not be able to escape now if they want to.
Of course, Highgarden also has to pay a large sum of Golden Dragon to redeem Shield Islands."
"Finally, Euron was provoked by that woman." Theobald looked strange.
"Which woman?"
"Daenerys," Seneschal Archmaester laughed lowly, "Euron was the first explorer to come back alive from the ruins of Valyria, and he got wealth to Rival a nation's wealth, even found a set of Valyrian Steel armor, a dragon egg."
"His——" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
"Unfortunately, as soon as I left the Sea of Tempest outside Valyria, I met Daenerys sailing to Slaver's Bay. She ransacked him before she had the money to go to Astapor to buy Unsullied."
Archmaester Vaellyn looked surprised and muttered: "didn't expect there is such a grudge between them."
"Euron intends to form a 'triple alliance' with Tyrell and Lannister, and it has been preliminary. Several cooperation intentions have been reached: 1. Tyrell pays the ransom, Euron returns the Shield Islands, and swears not to invade the Reach territory; 2. Cersei marries Euron, and Euron's Iron Fleet swears allegiance to Tommen and reorganizes into a new Royal Fleet to suppress Dragonstone Targaryen's power; 3. Tyrell and Lannister create conditions for Euron to take a dragon, or more, from Daenerys."
"What? Your Excellency Seneschal, are you crazy, from Mother of Dragons A dragon in your hand?"
Archmaesters exclaimed as they looked at Aerys, Joffrey, and Cersei as they watched Theobald.
“Euron didn’t reveal the exact method. But he dared to swear to Drowned God that the White Dragon and Green Dragon who once controlled her, if not too greedy, would have now become the Father of Dragons. "Seneschal said.
"Oh, since I swore to Drowned God, that's right." Archmaesters wondered nodded.
Then, they got excited again and said happily: "The 'Tripartite Alliance' seems to be very interesting! Dragon Queen——"
"I am Holy Light, I am —" Everyone in the room was rejoicing when suddenly, a deep, majestic, and grand voice came from outside the window.
Seneschal was furious, stood up and yelled in the direction of the window: "Which bastard is making a lot of noise outside, disturbing—gā gā gā ... Demon, Demon Dragon..."
Archmaester pupil shrinks, his teeth chatter, his complexion turns pale as death, and the nightmare of the past strikes his heart again.
"crash-bang ——" A huge shadow passed by the flowerbed in front of Seneschal's Court. Maester's apprentice, who had been bathing in the sun and sitting on the lawn reading a book, was alerted, and looked up at the sky with a shocked expression.
"I am the eldest son of the Dragonmother, I am the Heavenly Dragon of Great Might, the pioneer of justice..." is another long list of names that people can't remember from Big Black Say it in your mouth.
At this time, Dany used the "mercy, my Buddha" mode, such as the morning bell and the evening drum, which shocked the people of Oldtown and Citadel Maester from body to soul.
"Demon Dragon, are you talking? The Seven is above, I'm not hallucinating, right?" Archmaester, Maester, apprentices, and even the street people were stunned, like a dream.
"Today, this time, and here, I am the Dragon of Judgment, in the name of Father to judge the Citadel of the Seven Deadly Sins!"
In the teachings of The Seven, Father represents judgment and justice.
"First Sect sin, arrogance! Disregarding the reality of the world, only using personal will as an imaginary, intending to build a false 'real world'..." Big Black's voice rumbled, and he put "real" world" explained again.
"Ah, what's the Citadel doing?" Most of the people in Oldtown were bewildered, and the few who understood were horrified.
"Second Sect sin, jealous! Magic power is born, and only a few people are qualified to master transcendent power. Citadel Maester has no magic cultivator to practice Magic, or Magic innate talent is shallow, so he is jealous of the Royal Family with noble bloodline , and even let the entire human world enter the Dharma End Times.
Remember, it's just that human beings have lost the Magic power to protect oneself, the dark Evil God is in the Lands of Always Winter begin to stir and never disappear."
"Third Sect crime, brutality! Dance of the Dragons lasted dozens of times and killed hundreds of thousands of people. It's all Citadel's sin."
This is another explosion that almost makes Oldtown folks fainted: how awesome are those skinny Maesters next door?
"Damn, Perestan is guilty of telling that woman the secrets of the 'real world' and the Dance of the Dragons." Vinegar Vaellyn exclaimed in horror.
Archmaester Seneschal headed Venus, his eyes were blank, and he murmured continuously: "Fake, fake, all fake, Perestan is fake, the real world is fake, Dance of the Dragons It's fake...has nothing to do with Citadel."
Big Black didn't care about the reaction, he continued: "Fourth Sect sin, incompetence! Citadel was built for thousands of years, Seven Kingdoms astronomy, Pathology, craftsmanship, economic structure, spiritual beliefs, cultural customs, etc., have never progressed.
The Westeros of a thousand years ago, and the Westeros of a thousand years later, are almost different except for people. There is no difference. In this case, what is the use of you?"
We have no credit or hard work!
Besides, the Free City next door also seems to be... Free City is indeed more advanced than Westeros, but they inherit the advanced industrial technology of Valyria!
Maesters was upset.
"Fifth Sect sin, dereliction of duty! Long ago, there were traces of Others beyond the wall. Twenty years ago, even the Braavos people on the other side of the Narrow Sea knew that there were Others near Hardhome.
Sealord Ferrego's younger brother even died in the battle to hunt down Others.
In order to cope with the possible Long Night, Iron Bank secretly hoarded food twice in 20 years, involving an amount of up to 100 million Golden Dragon .
The Westeros don't know anything, Iron Throne doesn't know, Citadel doesn't.
What's more hateful is that Citadel deliberately hides Others after knowing Wall's emergency report The news of the world is at risk."
"What, Others? Isn't the history of Others and Long Night all fake, Maester always said."
Just now The people of Oldtown, who took a breath of relief, were shocked and dizzy again.
The melon is too big, too much, too sweet to eat!
"Sixth Sect sin, violating guest right! Dragon Queen came to Oldtown under the pseudonym Rhaella Waters and participated in Tourney as mysterious Knight Batman.
During the period Archmaester admired his talents in Economics, Invited her to be a guest at Citadel, but after discovering her true identity, she poisoned and assassinated her, and hundreds of archers hid and prepared to slaughter her dragon—that is, me, and my Second Brother.
The Citadel that day The fire, that's why."
"The Seven is on top, Citadel...what have you done?!"
Oldtown people are about to collapse, Holy Dragon revealed too much information, too terrifying, they couldn't bear it!
“Seventh Sect sin, broken oath! Citadel swears neutrality, Grand Maester swears allegiance to King, but look what they do?
From today on, I represent The The Seven repeals the Maester oath, and since the oath Acolyte made when he put on the chain link cannot be fulfilled, there is no need to make superficial efforts.
From today, on behalf of The Seven, on behalf of the Dragon Queen, I announce the abolition of Maester and the The loyalty relationship between nobles.
Maester no longer wears gray robe, no longer wears chain, no longer has apprentice, Maester, Archmaester, nobles can continue to hire scholars, but scholars are no longer Maester.
As of this time today, Citadel, dissolve, Westeros abolishes the Maester system!"
"Ah, Citadel gone? Maester gone?" The Oldtown folks roared again.
"Hey, is what dragon says true? Did Citadel really commit so many sins?"
"That's the holy dragon, the Heavenly Dragon of Great Might, the dragon of judgment , can you lie? And what Holy Dragon said is well-founded, so people can't refute."
"Yes, the content of Holy Dragon's words, you taste, you carefully taste... Horrible!"
"No—" Citadel wailed.
The Maesters, Archmaesters, and apprentices all over the Citadel looked like they had their spines ripped off, limp, raised their heads and cried.
