Chapter 594
"What's wrong?" Garth said worriedly.
Not long after the Dragon Queen pointed at the eyebrows of the old Archmaester, about ten minutes later, her originally smiling face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and even began to gnashing teeth.
“Damn Citadel, and Rickard died too.” Dany coldly said.
Things went more smoothly than she expected.
Once, Dany entered Hornfoots Spearwife Lali's Mental Sea and saw some memories of Spearwife's life from her broken Soul Core.
Once, Dany entered the "good boy" Jaqen Mental Sea and caught a glimpse of Jaqen's life experiences.
She guessed that, entering the Archmaester Walgrave Mental Sea, she might discover some of his secrets, or perhaps nothing.
Ordinary person's Soul Core is like a cloud of water vapor, and a strong-willed person is like a solid crystal.
Soul is broken, and Soul Core is like a broken crystal.
transcendent forms the foundation of explicit meditation, such as Dany's nine-color vortex, Firemage's flame, Shadowbinder's shadow, Moonsinger's moonlight...
their Memories are almost impossible to be spied upon, as their Soul Core is hidden deep within the foundations of meditation.
Walgrave's Soul Core is like a crystal that has been drilled with countless holes by the insert, and it is also protected by a layer of fog.
If Dany had to break through the protective mist of Weirwood before eating the Weirwood seed paste, he would probably hurt the demented old Archmaester.
Now her thoughts quietly penetrated into the crystal with countless holes in it.
In an instant, Dany fell into a colorful labyrinth, and countless scenes flashed before his eyes, as if opening a kaleidoscope.
Old Archmaester felt different, and the colors of the scenes changed, warm tones of a warm scene with a woman embracing; cool tones of parting; grey solitude; the birth of a sunny baby; a damp conspiracy ......
Many scenes are incomplete, as if a roll of film tape has been left for too long, most of it is damaged, half of it is blurred, and only the incoherent plot is clearly visible.
But the Maester Walys scene is too stark and too deep.
Even though Archmaester Walgrave is nearly ninety years old and demented, the memory of his son remains deep in Soul.
Perhaps, only death can end his longing for his son.
Maester Walys was in his early twenties when he first got the Maester chain, and was used privately by Walgrave's public equipment, and was recommended to North Winterfell.
He doesn't want to be separated from his son either, but it's a rare opportunity, Seven Kingdoms Duke!
There are only seven Maesters who assist Duke.
The location is too precious, and if there is any vacancy, it will be immediately robbed by countless Maesters.
In fact, Walgrave began planning his son's heir position long before Winterfell's previous generation, Maester, died of illness.
This kind of thing, Dany only sees it as a peculiar thing, and doesn't care.
She fast-forwards to Walys getting along with Rickard...
Mad King says Rickard is the biggest villain in Seven Kingdoms.
For Targaryen, that's true.
Rickard's wild ambition, North has been unable to satisfy his thirst for power, especially after visiting King's Landing.
When the first emperor was on a parade, Xiang Yu saw him and said: He can be replaced!
When the First Emperor was on a parade, Liu Bang saw it and sighed: A real man should be like this!
Mad King sits high on the Iron Throne, Rickard sees it and thinks: That crazy little three, talent and martial skills are not as good as me, why?
Moreover, the north is cold and the south is hot; the north is barren and the south is rich.
His ambition is in the South!
In the beginning, Rickard was just pure power, hoping to exert more influence in the court, and had no idea of replacing it.
Maester Walys sees Feng Jun's mind and encourages and fuels Duke's ambitions.
There are three reasons why Maester Walys is like this: First, he also has ambitions. He has an old Archmaester as a backer, and he grew up too smoothly. He easily became one of the Seven Kingdoms "Zaisuke". Courageous, high goals.
Second, Walys is loyal to Rickard and believes Duke Stark deserves more.
Lastly, and most importantly, Citadel got tired of the House Targaryen shit.
Saint Baelor, Aegon the Unworthy, Blackfyre Rebellion, Bloodraven's White Horror, Summerhall Change...
One after another, one bad thing, let The Citadel part of Maester has a consensus: Westeros would be better without Targaryen.
Let's take the Blackfyre Rebellion as an example.
In less than a hundred years, there have been five Blackfyre rebellions.
Daemon Blackfyre's descendants come in succession, coming in nearly every generation, and each one brings a great deal of trauma to Seven Kingdoms.
There are hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of civilians affected, and the nobles who died in the war are like mushrooms after the rain.
Even characters like Seven Kingdoms Duke have died several times before and after - Lannister, Ironman's Bay have all killed Duke for the Dragon Family's bad things.
It's been a waste of money and corpses, but what have Seven Kingdoms got?
nothing!
Every time a Targaryen is born, Gods flips a coin to determine whether he is great or crazy.
Then the people of Seven Kingdoms will pray together, not expecting the greatness of the oneself king, as long as he is not crazy.
Why! ! ! !
Lianlong's Targaryen, who doesn't have it, why does he rule Westeros?
It can be said that since Dance of the Dragons, Citadel has completely lost all respect for the Targaryen royal family.
It is not difficult to understand that the sacred cloak of Targaryen is torn by the Maesters. They are not even afraid of Targaryen with dragons, and they still fear the lunatic without dragons?
So a small group of Maesters got together to get rid of Targaryen.
Well, only a fraction.
The composition of Maesters is divided into two categories: noble and backgroundless.
Hoi polloi without any background will become a Maester because of their good brains; the second son, third son, or branch disciple of a noble family has no right of inheritance, and becoming a Maester is also a good way out.
For example, as the third child of the family, old Aemon went to Citadel to become a Maester.
In fact, Maesters with aristocratic backgrounds occupy the overwhelming majority.
Maester of the noble family allowed Dance of the Dragons for the sake of ideals, but did not necessarily agree to get rid of Targaryen.
The reason is very simple, Targaryen is only one of the great nobles, Maester is engaged in Dragon Family today, how can he know tomorrow that Lion Family will not feel that "debt repayment" is too domineering?
So there are very few Maesters who are interested in changing owners for Iron Throne, and Walys happens to be one of them.
The marriage of Brandon and Catelyn Tully, Lyanna and Robert, sending Eddard Stark to Vale of Arryn to be the adopted son of old Jon, brother to Robert...
All of the above are Walys' plans.
And his project has other Maesters involved, such as Maester Cressen for the Baratheon.
According to Walys' plan, the hero to end Targaryen's rule should be Rickard Stark.
As a result, Mad King is crazy, but not stupid, let alone blind.
He couldn't see the obvious alliance of wolf, fish, deer, and eagle?
The Mad King, without the slightest political savvy, would not have rejected Tywin's Rhaegar's proposal to marry Cersei, and instead allied with Dorne.
——Rejecting Tywin and marrying Dorne instead, Mad King is not wrong, but very wise.
Because Tywin has been the Hand of the King for 20 years, the power is too great, and Mad King's "wisdom and talent" can't hold back, let alone son-in-law Rhaegar?
——There was a saying in Westeros at the time: Lord Tywin rules the Seven Kingdoms, Lady Joanna rules Tywin.
Some even claim that Lord Tywin is the true ruler of the Seven Kingdoms.
—Mad King cuts the guy's tongue when he hears it, and the guy later cuts Eddard's head.
Well, it's Ilyn Payne, Tywin's pony.
It can be seen how inflated Tywin's power was at that time.
Even Grand Maester Pycelle, who was supposed to serve Targaryen, was also convinced by Tywin, willing to be the leading party who brought his own dry food.
digressed.
Maester Walys knew Mad King was crazy, but he didn't know how crazy Mad King was: tricked Duke into King's Landing and tortured him to death in the most humiliating way.
The plot between Mad King and Rickard is somewhat similar to King Zhou and Ji Chang.
Well, Mad King's madness surpassed that of King Zhou.
There is no temptation, no banning, just going into a frenzy.
Rickard doesn't have Ji Chang's city, Ji Chang can even eat the meatballs of his first wife's eldest son, but Lao Rui is in a mess. He is obviously doing a rebellion, and he dares to go to King's alone. Landing.
If I change to Ji Chang, I will stay at home and pretend my stomach hurts, and I will not go to Chaoge alone.
More importantly, Ji Chang has destiny.
Rickard was the forerunner of the king.
Damn!
The four alliances of "Wolf Osprey and Deer" that took more than ten years of hard work to build, Robert ......
Well, not long after Rickard died, Maester Walys thought that The four alliances failed, and they died in depression.
Who knows that Mad King is too crazy to kill the heirs of Stark father and son and Jon Arryn. In theory, the alliance of four nations has been broken.
Unfortunately, he was not satisfied. He had to cut weeds and eliminate the roots, killing Eddard and Robert.
God is pitiful, Robert was really innocent at that time, and his wife ran away with people in that way, worse than Big Bear.
Jon Arryn took over Walys' four-nation alliance plan and was willing to be Uncle Finger's pick-up man to re-build the alliance and make it even more unbreakable.
Well, the Alliance's focus has changed, from Stark to Baratheon.
Walys' four-nation alliance, the eagle, the deer and the fish have no connection, only the wolf is connected with the other three at the same time.
In Jon Arryn's four-nation alliance, the deer and the fish still have no connection, only the eagle has an alliance foundation with the other three at the same time.
Eddard is the second son, Eddard is the righteous brother, Eddard is not as bright as Robert, and the first Adoptive Father of Seven Kingdoms will certainly not support him as king.
...
"How did Citadel become like this..." Garth complexion pale, muttering to himself.
"When people read, they become bad!" Dany complained.
“What now? Does that little league in Maester still exist?” Garth asked.
"Targaryen has been dead for so many years, it's long overdue." Dany sighed.
Perhaps, Aegon's conquest of Westeros was a mistake.
If Targaryen only occupies Dragonstone and Crownlands, raises dozens of dragons at home, and leads Velaryon, Celtigar and other little brothers to control the trade of the Narrow Sea... If you have money, spare time and power, I don't know now. What a happy life.
Garth glanced out the window and reminded: "It's almost dawn, Your Majesty, we should leave."
"Can't just let that group of Maesters go," Dany puffed up his cheeks and said fiercely, "Targaryen, I have to pay my debts, I have to give Citadel a retribution!"
What could be more terrifying than Church's Atonement?
"hehe..." Dany smirked.
Since Citadel likes to control public opinion, and also like to "serve the country and the people without fear of sacrifice", then use public opinion to help me die Faceless Men!
Dany uses "Dany's Whisper" to Walgrave.
