"Your Majesty, this is the Green Saintess of Graz!"
The next morning, Danny, who had rested for the night in the garden on the top floor, was preparing to go to the punishment square to continue liberating the slaves. However, Klein came with a middle-aged woman wearing a green robe and a green veil on her head and face.
"Please take a seat, Sir Shackle and Green Saintess." Danny extended her hand to invite the two of them.
She was eating breakfast, cold persimmon soup, white bread, boiled goose eggs, grilled bacon, and scallion steak.
There was a lot of heavy work waiting for her today, and she might not have time to have lunch at noon. Danny had a very sumptuous breakfast.
Different from the high and mighty benevolent masters, Danny had a long wooden table placed on the grass, seven or eight meters long, in a north-south direction.
Danny sat at the north end, and Whitebeard and Jorah sat on her left, each with a set meal of the same style as hers.
Dorea, Kiki, and Irri had already eaten before her. As maids, the three of them were not qualified to eat with Jorah and Whitebeard.
Well, in Westeros, the king could sit at the same table with the small nobles, but would not eat with the servants. Danny was not the Virgin Mary, and did not want to change this.
— — Instead of changing the etiquette and customs that had been passed down for thousands of years, it was better to find a chance in the future to give the three maids the status of a knight.
Sir Shackle and Green Saintess sat on Danny's right side in turn. Green Saintess was magnanimous, and her movements were elegant and skillful. The butcher was a little unnatural, but he was more excited. This kind of most intuitive change in status made him very intoxicated.
Dorea came over to bring food for the two of them. Danny asked, "Green Saintess, did the Unsullied disturb the Temple of Divine Grace?"
Danny was a novice surgeon before and knew nothing about politics, but she still knew the principle of "the important matters of the country, worship and war".
There were more than ten thousand Unsullied and three dragons, and the military power had always been firmly in her hands.
And worship, or sacrifice, referred more to faith and etiquette and tradition.
Before attacking Astapor, Danny had arranged for the Unsullied to be in charge of protecting and monitoring the Temple of Divine Grace.
He could not allow the Holy Maiden of the temple to be persecuted in order to avoid causing religious unrest, which was the most troublesome. He also could not allow them to come out and cause trouble for her.
The Temple of Divine Grace itself was a weirdly shaped pyramid. The clergy were all female, and they were collectively known as the "Saintess".
The Green Saintess was the highest priestess among the Saintesses, similar to the Archbishop of the Holy See. There was usually only one Grace Temple in each city, and there was usually only one Green Saintess in each temple.
In other words, Grazidan was the religious leader of Astapor.
Oh, that's right, this Saintess is also called Graz Dan, a female variant of 'Graz Dan'.
The first Graz 'Dan was a great man of the Gujis Empire. Every Gujis with a bit of status wanted to be called Graz' Dan.
"Your Majesty, the Unsullied are the most obedient warriors. They did not disturb the temple." The Green Saintess took a sip of persimmon soup and said softly.
"That's good. When the chaos in the city subsides, I'll have them withdraw." Danny made a promise.
"Your Majesty, how are you going to quell the chaos in Astapor? I mean, Kaiyuan, Meereen, Xingis, and the other cities will not sit idly by. "The Green Saintess asked nervously.
"Sigh, I'm not thinking that far ahead." Danny waved her hand and said boldly, "I'll roar when I see injustice. When it's time to act, I'll act."
Hmph, three thousand Unsullied are enough to defend Kholor. How many three thousand do I have?
And besides Xingis, who has an iron army, Kaiyuan and Meereen rely on slave soldiers to maintain their rule. If they have the guts, let them come and see if my Queen Danny's cannons are sharp!
Oh, talk big!
The more slave soldiers that come, the more warriors that fight for freedom will be sent to me.
The more I fight, the more my soldiers will increase. Who knows, I might end up with an army of a million.
I'll scare those slave merchants to death!
Even if the worst-case scenario happens and I'm besieged by everyone, I can at least hold on for two or three years.
In two or three years, won't I still sweep through the world with three dragons?
The Green Saintess sighed and asked, "Your Majesty, what's your goal? Don't you want to return to the Westeros? "
Danny's eyes flashed, and she asked, "Your Excellency, may I ask what god your temple believes in? Harpies? "
"No, we don't believe in harpies. In fact, the ancient teachings have been lost. The people of Xingis today have little to do with the Xingis Empire. The Temple of Divine Grace does not have the function of spreading faith. We exist for the people. "
Slaver's Bay in the World of Ice and Fire = Egypt on Earth.
Many people thought that Egyptians had always been Egyptians, and some suspected that Egypt's history and pyramids were fake. They did not have a history of 5,000 years, and thought that the pharaohs did not have the tradition of using pyramids as mausoleums.
Their reasons were good. If every pharaoh had a pyramid, how many pharaohs had there been in 5,000 years? How could there only be a few dozen pyramids? Many of the pharaohs' coffins were not excavated in pyramids.
In fact, the Egyptians were divided into several periods, and the rulers of each period were even different. The line of the ancient pharaohs had long been extinct.
Dynasties and nations were different, and their customs and traditions, and even their beliefs were different.
Moreover, most of the time, the pharaohs did not establish a unified empire, and their national power was not enough to build pyramids, just like not all the dynasties of the Great Celestial Empire were Han and Tang Dynasties.
Therefore, although there were many pharaohs, not everyone was qualified to have a pyramid. Or, at that time, the pharaohs' race was not popular to be buried in pyramids. The gods they believed in did not have the doctrine of resurrection from the dead.
The Xingis of Slaver's Bay were similar to the Egyptians. Although they were called Xingis, they were not the same race as the Xingis of 5,000 years ago. Their culture and beliefs had also undergone fundamental changes. Valleglia would not allow them to have strong and cohesive beliefs.
"The Temple of Divine Grace has seven Saintesses. The Green Saintess is the highest priest. The Blue Saintess is the doctor. The White Saintess is a girl of noble birth who learns the skills of a woman in the temple. They can choose to become Saintesses of other colors.
The Pink Saintess is an attendant. She can be the maid of noble people. The Gold Saintess is a scholar. She can educate the children of rich families. The Purple Saintess can be the housekeeper of rich families. "
Speaking of this, the Green Saintess sighed and said helplessly, "The Pink Saintess, the Gold Saintess, and the Purple Saintess are all products of the Valleglia era. But now, there is almost no meaning for them to exist.
Every generation, the Green Saintess still needs the Pink Saintess to serve her. The Gold and the Purple Saintess are almost eliminated. Now, the Red Saintess is the most popular. "
"What is the Red Saintess?" Danny asked.
"Ahem …" Chora coughed a few times with an unnatural look. His expression was a little awkward.
The Green Saintess' expression did not change. She said indifferently, "The Red Saintess is the Holy Prostitute. We do not avoid the pursuit of physical desire. The most exquisite residence in the temple is the Garden of Desire. The Red Saintesses wait in the Garden of Desire every night, waiting to be picked by men. If no one is picked, they will wait until dawn. "
Danny did not pretend to be shy or blushed. She had already noticed that from Slave Bay to Queers, the atmosphere of society was unusually open.
Revealing half of one's boobs, and drawing erotic pictures on the city wall. These were simply unimaginable in the ancient times of the Celestial Empire.
"Looking at the Divine Grace Temple's actions, it seems that they do not support slavery," Danny said.
"But they do not oppose it," the Green Saintess said.
"But my conscience opposes it. The justice of the world opposes it. The bottom line of human beings opposes it. Any god with a little bit of mercy opposes it," Danny said loudly.
"I will not oppose you, Your Majesty. The Divine Grace Temple will not oppose you either. I am here this time just to understand your arrangement for Astapor. "The Green Saintess sighed.
They did not even have a clear doctrine. Such a church's combat power was so weak that it made Danny sympathize with them.
"I promise, I am only against slavery. If a queen cannot bring a better life to the people, then she might as well abdicate. Green Saintess, I will only make Astapor's life better. Of course, this is for the majority. "Danny said solemnly.
"I understand. It is time to say goodbye." The Green Saintess stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute." Danny stopped her and said, "I hope that the Divine Grace Temple will be more deeply involved in the city's construction in the coming days."
"What do you mean?" The Green Saintess was confused.
"No matter how wise a king is, he cannot rule a kingdom alone. When a king rules a kingdom based on his own will, his kingdom is not far from destruction."
The Green Saintess was deep in thought. Chora looked at Danny in shock. He did not expect her to say such a thing.
Whitebeard looked excited. His eyes were a little watery.
"I will organize a council to manage this city. Green Saintess, you are qualified to be a council minister."
Danny looked at the graceful high priest and asked, "Are you willing?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity. I am very grateful." The Green Saintess replied excitedly.
"Very good. Now you can perform your duties." Danny smiled.
When the Green Saintess sat back down at the table, Sir Shackle asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask, am I qualified to be a council minister?"
"Of course, you are the first Astapor noble under my command."
Then, Danny let the Green Saintess, Cleon the Butcher, and Chora continue to attack the remaining pyramids. She took Whitebeard to Pride Square to free the slaves.
There were even more people today.
Excluding the Unsullied, the city of Aposta had close to 100,000 residents. The ratio of slaves to Gith was as high as 7: 1. There were more than 80,000 slaves!
Well, that's right, Gith had become a minority.
Yesterday, 6,000 of them were killed by the Unsullied and the slaves out of control. Only half of Gith's population was left.
Not to mention Slaver's Bay, even in Volantis, one of the Nine Free Cities, the ratio of slaves to free people was 5: 1. From this, it could be seen how promising Danny's cause of "liberating the world" was.
As long as she stayed calm, she would definitely win.
"These are the ashes of two thousand slaves who died in battle for freedom." Under the scorching sun, on the first step of the pyramid, under the gaze of tens of thousands of slaves, Danny pointed to the huge wooden box beside her and said loudly to the iron horn, "I promised that their glory would be eternal.
Before I untie the slave collar for everyone, I want to announce two things. First, no slave owner can punish you anymore. This square will be renamed 'People's Square' at this moment. Who are the people?
The people are you, me, all of us. The people are the true masters of Astapor. "
"Long live the People's Square, long live the Mother Of Dragons!"
"Misha, Misha!"
.....
Tens of thousands of people raised their white, black, brown and amber arms and shouted at the top of their lungs. Their voices were so loud that the clouds in the sky were almost blown away. In fact, the people behind them did not hear anything at all, but there were three brightly colored dragons circling and roaring above Dani's head. They were all excited!
Danny pressed her right hand down, and when the scene was quiet again, she continued to say to the iron horn, "Second, in the center of the People's Square, where the wooden platform was originally used to punish slaves, I will use the ashes of these two thousand freedom guards to build a stone monument — the Freedom Guard Monument.
It represents all the fighters who sacrificed for freedom in the past, present, and future, representing their will and representing their glory. "
