Whitebeard finally understood why Danny was called the "Immortal" because she really didn't burn.
Yesterday morning, her "whipping as punishment" earned enough tears and reverence from the people. Queen Danny was about to become the "blessed" Saint Danny. Unfortunately, there were no monks of the Church of the Seven Gods here.
People in the city, whether they were new freemen, ordinary people or nobles of Guise, were in awe of her to the extreme.
When the news spread outside the city, more than a dozen manor owners closest to the city immediately declared their allegiance.
Because in the process of Queen Danny's personal deification, the Queen's Code she formulated also became as heavy as Mount Tai, sacred and inviolable.
Her Majesty used her blood to cast infinite sanctity and great authority.
It could be said that in the more than 10,000 years of history of this different world, there had never been a code that could be so wholeheartedly accepted and respected by the people on the day of its birth.
This was also the main purpose of Danny.
With the history of the Celestial Empire, she had too many means and routines to win the love and worship of the people. It was too stupid to whip herself, and the price was too high.
The core purpose of the 50 whips yesterday was to promote the Code. As long as her code was quickly known and accepted by the people, Aposta could settle down in the shortest time, and her burden would become the cornerstone to support her.
Danny did not forget that there were Kaiyuan and Meereen in the north, New Guise in the south, Queers in the east, and Volantis in the west.
Those city-states relied on the slave trade to maintain their abnormal prosperity, and they would not easily let go of Danny, an "alien".
Compared with these, the price of 50 whips was too low.
After being barbecued in the charcoal last night, all the wounds had scabbed this morning. In a few days, not only would the wounds be healed, but even a scar would not be left.
Whitebeard, who saw the barbecued queen for the first time, was inexplicably shocked. He kept muttering, "True Dragon, True Dragon, those mad kings in history were not all lunatics. There really is a True Dragon reborn in the fire!"
He thought for an entire night, and then this morning, he came to Danny and knelt down on one knee. "Your Majesty Danny Liz, I have something to tell you."
In the garden at the top of the pyramid, under the shade of the apple tree, a soft couch was propped up. Danny was lying on it, leisurely flipping through a thick book.
The salty sea breeze blowing from the distant sea, mixed with the sweet apple fragrance above her head, and the blurry and elegant scent of the pansy and Persian chrysanthemum beside her, created an intoxicating and vigorous vitality around Dani.
"What is it?" Danny's eyes didn't move away from the book.
After she had gained complete control of the 18 pyramids and the Temple of Divine Grace, she moved all the books, as long as they were not duplicated, regardless of the text or content, into the Great Pyramid beneath her.
As a result, in an age before printing, Dany had a large and luxurious library at her disposal.
Uh, there are more than three hundred books …
She was now reading a history book. The author described the five wars that led to the destruction of the Guise Empire from the perspective of the Guise people and the war with Valleglia.
Through this more objective and fair history book, Danny confirmed one thing. The Guise Empire five thousand years ago was not Egypt, but more like the ancient Roman Empire.
In the symbol of the Harpy, the claw of the Harpy was not holding the slave chain at all, but the golden lightning. The meaning of the two was very different.
The former Guise Empire was a great and glorious civilization, but after the destruction of the capital of Guise (the old Guise) by the Valleglia, the Guise people completely fell. They couldn't be blamed. The original purpose of the existence of Slave Bay was to cultivate high-quality slaves for the Valleglia, bed slaves, scholars, housekeepers, gardeners, servants, servants, and so on.
The Guise people didn't have the right to choose their own development model.
"Your Majesty …" Seeing that Danny was still engrossed in the book, Whitebeard couldn't help but call out again.
"I'm listening. Go ahead."
"Alas, I lied to you." He lowered his head and sighed.
Now Danny was interested. She put the bookmark and closed the book. She turned back to look at the old man kneeling on the ground and asked, "What did you lie to me about?"
"My name is not Astan," the old man's hesitant eyes had a hint of hidden pride. "My real name is Barristan Selmy."
Danny looked at him strangely and couldn't figure out why he revealed his identity at this time. She nodded and said softly, "I guessed that you were hiding your identity, but I didn't expect it to be the fearless Barristan.
Viserys has told me a lot of Westeros legends, and your deeds occupy a large part of them, surpassing the White Bull and second only to Arthur Dane, the Divine Sword of Buddhism. "
Danny's reaction made the old man both disappointed and inexplicably relieved.
Although His Majesty didn't show the ecstatic and shocked expression that he should have when seeing a legendary person, he also didn't get angry because of his "slave of three surnames" and surrender to the usurper.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly, "Your Highness is too kind. It was Sir Gero Hyder (White Bull) who put on the white robe for me. He was my legendary captain for life, and Sir Dane's swordsmanship is beyond my reach."
"Haha …" Danny chuckled and looked at him strangely. "If Viserys was here, he wouldn't talk to you so calmly. He would have the guards drag you down and cut you to death.
In the past ten years, he never said a good word about you. Every time he mentioned the White Bull, the Divine Sword of Buddhism, and the other legendary Kingsguard, he would scold you. "
"Your Majesty, I … I am ashamed! I have tarnished my own glory and dimmed the glory of the Kingsguard. "The old man's face immediately turned red. He was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in.
"Sir Selmy, please stand up." Danny wiped away the smile on her face and said seriously, "The truth before my eyes is far better than the rumors — even the rumors that are spread by millions. After being together for so many days, I have clearly witnessed your noble character and outstanding martial skills. "
The old man didn't stand up. Instead, he lowered his head and said in a choked voice, "Your Majesty, your magnanimity makes me ashamed."
I have to be so magnanimous that it makes you ashamed. Otherwise, how can I increase your loyalty?
Danny said seriously, "I am not being magnanimous. Your previous actions are enough for you to straighten your back and explain your purpose to me …
Sir Barristan, why are you here? You can't be helping the usurpers to assassinate me, right? "
"No, I never wanted to hurt you." Whitebeard immediately waved his hand and said quickly, "My white robe has been taken away by Joffrey. I will never serve those people in King's Landing again."
"Robert's heir Joffrey took off your cloak? Isn't the Kingsguard a lifelong profession? Why did he do that? Did you side with the wrong team in the game of Game of Thrones? "Danny asked curiously.
Barristan did not have many scenes in Game of Thrones, and his role was not clear enough. Her memories of him were already blurry.
"The Kingsguard dedicates their lives to the king. How can I side with the wrong team?" Barristan shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Regardless of whether the king was wise or mediocre, kind or cruel, wise or crazy, the Kingsguard would always be loyal to them.
"The Cregon family is Lannister's best and fiercest hunting hounds. Gregor Cregon is known as the 'Magic Mountain' and is Duke Tywin's most ferocious hound. His brother Sandor Cregon is known as the 'Hound' and is Joffrey's most obedient fighter.
After the evil boy ascended the Iron Throne, he wanted his hound to wear the white robe.
And Queen Cersei wanted his twin brother, 'Kingslayer' Jaime Lannister to become the captain of the Kingsguard.
Get rid of me, and their wish will be fulfilled easily, "Whitebeard said with grief and indignation.
"Oh, so you're saying that if they let you continue to be the captain of the Kingsguard, you'll continue to do so and be loyal to them?" Danny asked with a frown.
"I don't want to lie to you. If Joffrey on the Iron Throne did not strip me of my position, there's a high possibility that I'll continue to serve the king in the King's Landing. I'm ashamed to admit this, but it's an undeniable truth."
Saying this, he looked up at Danny with a sorrowful gaze. "Your Majesty, please understand that the Kingsguard was born with Aegon. Their fundamental duty is to be loyal to the king on the Iron Throne.
This is the first time a change of dynasty has happened in the Westeros. Theon Bella also has the blood of the true dragon. His grandmother is Princess Lei Lei, and Princess Lei Lei is your grandaunt. Speaking of which, you and Robert are cousins. "
This is a bit of a trap …
"Alright, I understand. Sir, you're a knight who values honor as your life, and being loyal to the Iron Throne is the greatest honor of the Kingsguard." Danny nodded and let him off the hook for being a slave of three surnames. She asked, "What do you plan to do now?"
"Your Majesty, I've come to a realization!" the old man said solemnly.
Danny's mouth twitched. She gritted her teeth and said, "What realization?"
"When Joffrey took off the white cloak that White Bull tied to my shoulder and sent someone to kill me on the same day, it was as if there was a layer of fog in front of my eyes. How did all this happen, and why?"
The tall old man had a look of reminiscence on his face. He said sadly, "I grew a beard, disguised myself, entered St. Belial's Cathedral, and sought answers from the Seven Gods …
Starting from your father, to Robert the Usurper, and the evil and cruel Joffrey, I thought about it bit by bit, and what I did with them.
In the end, I came to a realization. Once I put on the white cloak, I'll be a Kingsguard for life. But this time, I have to find a true king, and I'll die for the true king. "
"I'm your first test subject?" Danny tilted her head and looked at him.
"Not really. When Illyrio told me that you hatched three dragons, I decided to dedicate my life to you."
Is this what you've realized?
Because I have dragons, and the Megalosaurus is invincible, and the most promising to end the chaos and unify the Seven Kingdoms again?
And you went to St. Belial's Cathedral to pray for so long.
"Why did you hide your identity?" She asked again.
Barristan's eyes sharpened. He looked around and said seriously, "Because you have spies from King's Landing around you. In fact, you and your brother have always been under surveillance.
As the captain of the Kingsguard, I'm also a member of the council. I have the right to participate in all open and secret royal meetings.
Over the past fourteen years, I've heard Varys report on you and your sister to Robert hundreds of times.
Which lord has received you, which mercenary group your brother has been in contact with, every promise Prince Viserys has made to the merchants of the trading cities in order to restore the kingdom …
Every woman the prince has had sex with, even the date of your first menstrual period, was reported in detail to King Robert and his council. "
