Asha thought that she would be joining Brandon Targaryen's team, but she later found out that she was wrong. Even Brandon knew to travel to other worlds to increase his knowledge. How could other students and organizations of the Seven Kingdoms not know?
The King's Landing branch of the Imperial University alone had formed more than 20 exploration teams in just a week.
The headquarters of the Imperial University on the Peninsula of Valleglia had invited world-renowned historians, philologists, crop breeding mages, animal breeding mages, and other masters of various fields to join the exploration of other worlds.
The graduates of Oldtown University's Bachelor's College announced that they would put away their necklaces, hang up their swords, and travel across the continent alone.
Braavos also joined forces with the many trading cities of Ursos to form a huge trading caravan. The ship transporting merchants, students, and supplies was the newly built Titan.
Asha and Danny joined Princess Sansa's team.
The children of the Seven Kingdoms' Dukes were also with them. For example, the heir of Casterly Rock, "Tall" Joffrey, and the second young master of the Summer Palace in the North, "Fierce Beast" Eide Stark.
Brandon the Mad Prince had fallen into a coma twenty years ago, and his younger brother had become the new king. The king's wife was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Dragonstone and Danny's elder sister.
According to the new rules set by the Dragon Queen, it was best for the Targaryen royal family to marry outstanding clansmen, but they had to ensure that the bloodline was more than three generations away.
In a normal world without bloodline power, Danny would not encourage marriage within the clan, but reality was cruel. The power of bloodline was real.
Because of her, the Targaryens had the strongest bloodline in the world. If there was an outstanding bloodline but it was not digested internally, it would first cause the bloodline to flow out and other clans to rise. Secondly, marriage between the royal family and other clans would cause the True Dragon bloodline of the royal family to become impure, and the royal family would gradually decline.
Strong on the outside but weak on the inside, the Targaryen royal power was not so stable.
Once upon a time, the Lannister development model of Casterly Rock City was what Dany admired the most.
Before the long night, there was a saying in the Western Region: Lannister Harbor is full of Lannister.
This was the truth. When they arrived at Lannister Harbor, as far as the eye could see, they were all yellow-haired.
They were all Lannister's collateral relatives.
If a Lannister wanted to get married, he could totally find his other half in the clan. Not only would there be no genetic diseases brought about by marriage within three generations, but it could also ensure the purity of the bloodline, and even strengthen the cohesion of the Lannister clan.
Of course, Lannister himself did not have a powerful Transcendent bloodline. Such a family system limited the possibility of him absorbing excellent Transcendent genes from outside.
The Targaryens were different. They had powerful genes to begin with and were only afraid of the outflow of excellent genes. They did not have to worry about losing the possibility of high-quality foreign genes flowing in.
No matter how high quality it was, could it be better than the bloodline of the Celestial Emperor?
.....
"We've arrived at Dairui City. Get ready to get off!" Seeing the scenery outside the window, Danny suddenly stood up.
"So fast? Let's finish this round first. "
Asha was playing Tractor with Princess Sansa and the others. She just happened to have a good hand of cards and was ready to go all out.
"The train will only stop at Dairui City for 15 minutes." Princess Sansa, who was playing against Asha, put down the cards in her hand.
This journey to the other world was not an ordinary one. Not only did the Imperial University students not bring servants, maids, and even guards along.
They wore armor, carried greatswords and staffs, and in the small rattan box, there were only undergarments for washing and life-saving potions.
"Why isn't there a direct train to Winterfell … Oh, it's the Summer Palace. Why isn't there a direct train to the Summer Palace?" Asha complained while carrying her rucksack.
"From the Trident River to the Neck Marsh to the Summer Palace, it's thousands of kilometers. The road is too long. Besides, Asha, you haven't been to the Neck Marsh. You don't know that the terrain there has changed greatly. It's very troublesome to build a railway, "the big Eide Stark mumbled.
"Dorne also doesn't have a direct train to the King's Landing. The terrain at the border is too complicated." The second prince of Dorne, Obren Martell, sighed.
He wore light armor and held a long spear in his hand.
"The ancestor once said that the construction of railroad tracks alone could become a specialized field of knowledge. The knowledge of railway engineers now can no longer meet the needs of complicated road conditions, "Princess Sansa said.
When they alighted, Asha and the others met Brandon and the others.
The expedition team got off the train at Dairui City.
"Hey, Sansa, where are you going next? Do you want to take the airship with us? "Brandon took the initiative to greet his niece who was" the same age ".
"Eide has arranged for a team of unicorns to be outside Dairui City." Sansa's expression was also indifferent when she faced her uncle.
Not only her, but the princesses of the Duke's family were also cold and distant, and Asha was no exception. In fact, the behavior of cheating on a female classmate was too bad.
Brandon seemed to know that he was not welcome, so he smiled and nodded before leaving with his companions.
As soon as they left the train, the eldest young master of the Dairui family came to greet them.
The Dairui family had many children, so Brandon and the other distinguished guests had their own people to receive them.
"Your Highness, the Farmer's Castle has been emptied in advance. Do you want to play in Dairui City for a few days?" William Dairui invited them warmly.
"It's still early. We hope to leave early." Princess Sansa smiled very kindly.
"I understand." Sir William was very capable. He immediately led them to the carriage and drove straight to the North City.
Seeing the clean black stone streets and neat brick buildings in the city, as well as the teams of knights in bright armor and showing off on the streets, Asha could not help but ask in surprise, "Dairui City has changed so much! Did your family become rich? "
Sir William was stunned and hesitated. "Our family has always been like this. We haven't become rich."
"Asha is talking about Dairui City a hundred years ago," Danny said.
"Oh, compared to a hundred years ago, Dairui City has changed a lot. It's all thanks to His Majesty the Sky Emperor's grace."
Then, Sir William began to talk non-stop about the Dragon Queen's care for their family.
First, the territory was redivided.
Because the King's Landing and a hundred miles of land around it belonged to the royal family, the Pentashade Dragon Targaryen received a large piece of land in the Three Rivers Basin.
Dairui City, which used to belong to Hejian County, was also divided into the Duke of Dragonstone Island, and the Dairui family's fief more than doubled.
Secondly, the Dragon Queen paid for a bridge to be built for them. The Black Stone Bridge, which would never decay, was two kilometers long and crossed the Trident River, which was hundreds of meters wide.
Before the appearance of the train, the Dragon Queen had planned a high and a short carriage, as well as a two-tiered passage for the train.
Finally, thirty years after the Long Night, the Dragon Queen gave them a pair of pterosaurs.
When the carriage stopped at the Black Bridge Inn in the North of Dairui City, Sir William's face was still flushed, and he looked as if he had not had enough.
After the Dairui family's carriage left, Danny whispered in Asha's ear, "If we go to the Farmer's Castle with him, we'll see colorful dragon flags and portraits of our ancestors hanging on the walls of the hall."
"Is Frey the one who inherited Dairui City? Back in the Fairy City, I met Maria and Marissa, mother and daughter, "Ah Sha said.
Dania was not too clear about the history of a hundred years ago. Princess Sansa pondered for a moment and gave the answer. "Originally, Marissa Frey was supposed to inherit Darry City. However, during the first period of the eight-year war against the Other Ghosts, Lady Maria had been staying in Helenburg and spent all her time with the commander-in-chief, Sir Clinton … It was mainly due to the matchmaking of the ancestors that the two of them got married and had two sons."
"It's said that they could have children at such an old age because of the Holy Mother's blessing."
At this point, Princess Sansa looked at the blonde boy who was helping the unicorn saddle at the side of the stable.
The boy, who was about eighteen or nineteen years old, had blonde hair and blue eyes. He was handsome and tall, and his armor had the emblem of the Sun and Moon Shining Together.
It was the emblem of the Tass family.
"Did you notice Andrew's sword? Does it feel familiar? "
Asha looked at it carefully for a while and said uncertainly, "It looks a bit like Britney's Oathkeeper Sword."
"Look at Joffrey's Light Howl," Princess Sansa said again.
"It should be his ancestor, Jaime's Widow's Wail." Asha's heart skipped a beat. She whispered, "Is Andrew also the bloodline of Lannister, Jaime, and Britney? Holy Mother, they must have been in their seventies or eighties at that time, right? "
"They were also blessed by the Holy Mother like Maria and Clinton," Sansa said with a smile.
"Sigh, different people have different lives. They were also blessed by the Holy Mother. Jaime and Britney became the legendary sword couple, but Maria and Clinton … After the Long Night, Sir Clinton left his wife and children and went to the Great Cathedral to become a monk." Danny shook her head and sighed.
Asha had a strange expression. "I know Sir Clinton's hobby. It's already hard for him … to have two sons."
The girls chattered on one side. On the other side of the stable, the boys had already saddled the ten unicorns.
"Let's go. I hope we can reach the border of the Neck Swamp tomorrow night," Eide shouted.
"This unicorn seems different from the one I saw before. It's taller and more muscular, but it doesn't have the long mane that covered its body." Asha carefully climbed onto the unicorn's back, but it didn't get the tantrum she expected.
"It's much more obedient. In the early years, the unicorns didn't allow knights other than their masters to touch them. They were even fiercer than wolves," she added.
"We can still see a long-haired unicorn in the Northern Ice Kingdom. It's too hot in the North now." Eide laughed.
They rode along the train for thirty kilometers north and arrived at the Trident River.
"Wow, what a majestic bridge! If Long-legged Lomas was still alive, he would have listed it as one of the ten wonders of the world, "Asha exclaimed.
Even if the ten unicorns rode side by side, there was still room for two carriages. Below the stone bridge, there was still a train rumbling past.
After the train crossed the bridge, it didn't go north. Instead, it turned and entered the Bright Moon Mountains (Valley).
"The railway is like the blood vessels of the kingdom. It transports resources from the seven kingdoms to the King's Landing, the heart of the kingdom. The heart also provides the necessary nutrients for each kingdom according to their needs. In this way, the seven kingdoms are full of vitality and vitality, "Princess Sansa exclaimed.
"It's indeed much more convenient than when we were in the past," Asha agreed.
"The railway between the King's Landing and the Valley isn't completely open yet. The winding Blood Gate Canyon is the nightmare of almost all railway experts," Joey Royce said.
The position of Duke of the Valley eventually fell on the heads of the people of the Valley. The grandson of Bronze Royce became the first Duke of the Valley in the new era.
"Ah, this is the Crossroads Inn!" After crossing the Trident River Bridge, Asha saw a familiar building. It was surrounded by walls made of white rocks. The inn inside was a small three-story building.
"Young ladies and young masters, are you going to stay in the inn?" At the entrance of the inn, there was an old woman sitting against the wall, basking in the sun.
The old woman was very old. Her body was slightly bent, like a dried shrimp's tail. Her hay-like hair was completely white, and it was very sparse. Her scalp was as red as a baby's skin. Her old eyes were cloudy, and there was only one yellow tooth left in her mouth.
