Chapter 1105
"Daella graduated from Imperial College in her early years and stayed there for a few years as a Dragon Language Magic teacher. She is now willing to guide you alone, and you should thank her.
As for the Dragon Queen's poems ......
How can I avoid the Dragon Queen if I want to learn history?
She is history, and her every move is a major event of history.
And Daella was originally a Targaryen, saying 'what's wrong with us Targaryen'?"
"It was normal in the past to let Maester manage the finances, but now...Asha, you too Have you participated in the Fair Isle great trial, right?"
"Of course, we Ironborn commiting any imaginable misdeed are the subjects of the trial." Asha laughed at himself.
Old Robb corner of the mouth twitched, said: "The Citadel was also tried at that time, and what Maesters did was very terrifying.
Up to now, the nobles who have gone to college understand that, The two powers of financial and personnel appointment and dismissal must be in the hands of oneself."
"There is no Maester now? I saw that there is still a crow in the crow's nest, isn't Maester raising it?" Asha wondered.
“Crow is used less, and the glass candle communication is faster. The former Maester is also divided into various occupations such as breeder, doctor, tutor, staff, etc. It is more professional, more efficient, and more reliable to use.
Of course, some small nobles with weak assets, such as Landed Knight, can't support so many people at all, and can only use the ancient Maester system."
"So, Citadel also In?"
"It has been reorganized into Oldtown University, with the major of 'Ancient Maester'. Just thirty years ago, it was successfully promoted to a university, and there are only seven universities in the whole world. ."
"Well, what you said makes sense, but why is the family language of our House Greyjoy also modified by Daella?
When I first returned to Pyke, I saw outside the gate. The six square characters on the plaque, I thought they were some strange glyph.
After Daella taught me the language, I realized that it was the Dragon Language, and it was the new language of our family." Asha sullenly road.
"Is the new ethnic language bad?" Old Robb sighed: "In modern times, the ethnic language of 'we do not sow' will be laughed at if you say it.
Laughing at us as robbers and bandits, obviously our family participated in the final battle, and it is an ancient family of heroes. It is too unworthy to be ruined by an outdated family language.
You look carefully, Not only has our family changed, but many Ironborn nobles have also taken advantage of the new era and changed to a more positive new language."
"'Isn't it a shame that 'hard work can make you rich'? If I father If you are still alive, you will definitely be pissed off." Asha said.
"Ai, what a pity. You were taken away by the grandfather and missed the glorious battle that brought Ironborn back from the ashes.
When countless Ironborn drew their swords and pointed at the Drowned God , the vicious doctrine of Drowned God has also been completely abandoned by us.
The eight heroes like Tam and Dunstan can easily accept The Seven doctrine of 'the most glorious labor'." Old Robb shook his head and sighed.
“Work is the most honorable thing? Bullshit!” Asha grinned.
"The most glorious of labor is the teaching of Smith; the most glorious of fighting to the death is the teaching of Warrior. How can the seven teachings of The Seven be nonsense?"
"You every day Golden clothing and jade food, when have you worked?"
Old Robb speechless saying: "Apart from you, which adult in our family has not worked hard?
I go to Great Sept every day to help in the morning. The commoner child turns on the power point. After the noon prayer, he will help the sick in the afternoon.
I will go home and have dinner with my family when it is dark. Is it not hard work?
Daella and Jon also have to manage the huge Iron Islands, even Theon...
Have you not seen Theon in days?
He is The general manager of Ironborn Cultural Tourism Company, works every day."
Asha was speechless.
After a while, she asked, "Have our family become rich?"
Old Robb said tentatively, "Daella said, the title of Duke of the Iron Islands can't be given to you, but Whether you marry or not, you will be compensated with two million Golden Dragon."
"Drowned God, two million, are you so rich?" Asha was stunned.
Seeing that she was only shocked by the amount of money, but did not show any dissatisfaction with not returning the title, the old Robb was relaxed and said: "Our family didn't have much money, and when Daella married, she brought a dowry of 5 million Golden Dragon. , then—"
"Five million? Am I mistaken, she's only Duke of Dragonstone's third daughter." Asha exclaimed.
"Ai, Dragon Queen is so rich, every Targaryen direct daughter gets married, they can get a big red envelope, ranging from 1 million to 10 million."
Asha Shocked: "Did she rob Braavos Iron Bank in the end?"
"No need," the old man shook his head again and again, "Long Night is ten cities and nine empty, the wealth in those empty cities belongs to Dragon Queen
Later Long Night ended, she created an Imperial Family Trading Company, which not only helped the empire to develop business, but also made great money.
For example, our steam airship is I bought it from Dragon Queen, and a Golden Dragon cost 700,000!"
"Get the money!" Asha shouted again.
"In ancient times, how many longships could a 700,000 Golden Dragon build? Those longships combined can beat a steamship?"
Asha sighed: "Just one Iron lumps are too expensive."
"You didn't take a serious look at that, the steam boiler, the key parts are all forged by Valyrian Steel. How can ordinary steel withstand long-term Wildfire burning?
There is also a skin bag loaded with 'inert light gas', which must be tenacious, thin and fireproof. Only the highest material science Sorcerer can make it.
You must have seen the Air Force Warrior on the airship, in order to To reduce the weight, they can't wear heavy iron armor, but the air force is precious, and the protection is not less.
So, they all wear cloth armor of special materials that makes you feel strange." Old Robb said.
"This..." Asha was stunned, said with a bitter smile: "I'm really a little behind the times."
"Daella learns from Dragon Queen's In just a few decades, our family has become rich and has a fortune of tens of millions.
However, Daella plans to build a highway system connecting major cities in the Iron Islands, and the infrastructure is the most expensive. , so, I can only give you two million." Old Robb said slowly.
"How much does it cost to build a road?" Asha wondered.
"It's not an ordinary dirt road, have you seen the Valyrian road? There is no dragon to add high-energy magic power to the molten boulders, only a large number of fire Cleric proficient in Dragon Language Magic can be used to replace the seven-meter-wide Blackstone Great Way, the cost of one kilometer is more than 300,000 Golden Dragons.
This project requires all the nobles of the Iron Islands to invest thousands of years and tens of billions of Golden Dragons to complete." The old man sighed.
"Exaggerated, is it necessary?" Asha muttered.
"Once the construction of the Blackstone Great Way is completed, our Iron Islands will benefit from tens of thousands of years, hundreds of thousands of years, or even longer. Do you think it is worth it? As long as it is worth it, it is necessary."

......
After communicating with old Robb once, Asha dispelled the misunderstanding of Daella, abandoned prejudice, and began to really settle down to study.
Uninterruptedly reading history books and elementary school nature, she gradually gained a deeper understanding of a strange world.
1 month later, Asha said goodbye to her family with Greyjoy Eldest Young Lady Dany, wearing the same top and bottom skirt as the women of this era.
Each of them had two maids, two nanny, two Knight Instructors who also served as bodyguards, brought seven or eight large rattan boxes, took the carriage to the pier, and joined many aristocratic children who were enrolled in outlying islands. , ordinary children of extraordinary natural talent, and tourists returning home, boarded a giant ship with sky blue and white stripes that amazes Asha.
Hundred-meter-long wooden ships, she had seen before Long Night, but the center of gravity of those fat-bellied great ships was very low, and there were no high buildings on the deck.
This great ship named "Legendary Tanis" is a full 7th Layer, and the key is to mix steel and wood.
They live in a "little villa" with a 30-square-meter garden on the top floor.
"This boat is our family's property, or my father designed and supervised the construction. Only the daughters of Duke and the Royal Family can live in this bedroom, and others who have money can't get in. ' Daella threw oneself on the oversized duvet, lazily said.
"Since it's Greyjoy's business, why is it called that?" Asha wondered.
"This cruise ship is mainly used to travel around the Westeros, in order to attract tourists, of course, to use the name of the famous Legendary hero of the Iron Islands.
If you call it 'King Balon' , except historians, who knows what it means?
If House Drumm is also a shareholder of Ironborn Cultural Tourism Company, this name can't be used casually!"
"Dunstan that old The fellow was still my little brother back then!" Asha said dully.
"Woo--" A whistle sounded from the stern of the ship, which completely suppressed the shouting of the noisy crowd on the pier and the side of the ship.
The white steam column is fifty meters high, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
"Really strong motivation!" Asha said blankly.
After adapting for more than a month, she gradually understood the basic principles and levels of steam engines.
"One main and one pair with two steam turbine engines, each with 3,000 horsepower. It's okay in Westeros, but it's nothing if you look at the whole world.
For example, Braavos People are building a super cruise ship called 'Titan' with a displacement of more than 30,000 tons!" Dany said.
After leaving the Iron Islands, the Legendary Dunstan stopped at Faircastle for half a day, dropped a group of passengers, and added a group of passengers, and then proceeded south along the Westeros coastline.
Four days later, the cruise ship arrived at Lannisport, where Asha and Danya disembarked with a group of servants.
“Asha?” When going down from the penthouse on the seventh floor, Asha met an old acquaintance in the ordinary VIP cabin on the third floor.
"Sutton, it's you, why are you here?" Asha was surprised.
Many people have returned from the First Fire, hundreds of thousands of Ironborn undead, but there are only three living.
The living people who entered the Watery Halls with Dany were seven warriors who won the Finger Dance, a Maester who helped the Dragon Queen record great achievements, and a Drowned Men who led the way.
Among the seven warriors, Asha, Sutton and Tanca were picked up by their father and brother and died in the First Fire, losing their chance to become the "Smoking Sea Four Heroes".
Sutton is younger than Asha, in his early twenties, with a medium build, black hair and grey eyes, a round unibrow face, and looks quite righteous.
"My big brother's grandson went away and got a place to study 'adult undergraduate' at Oldtown University. The old man hopes that I can slowly adapt to the new era in the university. How about you, Asha?"
"I went to Imperial University as a transfer student."
"Hey, Imperial University...that's great!" Sutton envied.
Asha laughed and asked, "Where is Tanca, does he want to go to college?"
"Iron Islands Ocean University."
"Two books are also good. It's gone." Considering the Tanca family was only Knight-led, Asha wasn't too surprised.
"Tanca went to Ocean University as a doorman."
"Uh..."
