"Doctor, are you against Big Sparrow too?" Danny could not help but ask.
The old doctor turned around and saw that it was the "Champion of Martial Arts" who asked the question. He nodded and shook his head with a bitter smile. "The City of Knowledge does not have the 'Scholar's Armed Forces'. How can we be qualified to participate in politics?
But winter is coming, and the City of Knowledge has already warned the lords four times. I even personally wrote a few letters to the Archbishop of King's Landing, advising him to focus on the big picture, stabilize the situation, and plant the last batch of winter wheat — if only God has mercy. "
It seemed that the City of Knowledge did not completely fail in its duty. Unfortunately, a person's strength determined his voice. The scholar's voice was too soft, and no one listened to what he said.
"What did Big Sparrow say?" Garan asked curiously.
"He did not answer me at all. That's why I asked Bishop Peter!" The old doctor said awkwardly.
Dickens sighed and said, "I just came back from King's Landing. I know the situation there better than any of you. Big Sparrow is now … I don't know what he is really thinking, but King's Landing is indeed under the control of the church.
After the war, countless farmers in Hejian County and King's Landing went bankrupt and lost their jobs.
The old town is still warm, but Hejian County had a light snow two months ago. Winter is coming for Hejian County, but it has already arrived for Hejian County. Even if my father works hard to clean up the bandits and remnants, Hejian County will not be able to resume production in a year or two.
The poor farmers have nowhere to go. Joining the church and becoming a member of the poor is their only hope to survive. "
"The war is not even over yet!" Count Astan in the Harvest Hall said with a bitter smile. "Dragonstone Island, Storm's End Fort, Tiemin's Rebellion, the conflict between the Iron Throne and the church, Lord Stannis who has gone missing, I heard …"
Seeing his strange expression, a count next to him asked curiously, "What else?" “
"Well …" Astan touched his nose and said in a low voice, "I don't believe that none of you have heard about Danny Rize."
"Hiss …" The face of the noble who asked the question changed. He looked around cautiously. Seeing that everyone was silent, he let out a long sigh of relief, but decided not to say anything else.
"What are you afraid of? Wasn't it just the Mother Of Dragons, Danny Liz? Danny rolled her eyes and shouted.
"You —" Dozens of eyes glared at her.
It seemed that even though the City of Knowledge had intentionally concealed information about the Dragon and the Dragon Queen, the great nobles more or less knew some inside information.
With that in mind, Danny purposely asked, "What's wrong? Even if she could eat people, she would be thousands of miles away. The Anti- Mother Of Dragons Alliance is a major event in the world. Why is it a taboo topic here? "
"Ms. Leila, what do you know?" Baylor asked with a frown.
"The key is that you don't know anything."
"Since you are also a Westeros, you should naturally understand why we are avoiding this topic."
"I really don't understand," Danny said honestly.
Baylor glanced at the expressionless Garland and sighed, "Ayrin Valley, Hejian, the Northern Territory, Lannister, Stormlands, five great kingdoms, five great dukes, directly led to the destruction of the Targaryen Dynasty, and even the extermination of the entire race.
Highting was originally a partner and supporter of Prince Rega, but now he has a marriage alliance with Lannister. Six of the seven kingdoms have an irreconcilable conflict with her — a blood feud.
How can we not be afraid of this?
Legend has it that the last Targaryen was vengeful, cruel, and bloodthirsty. She never let a single enemy go. She tortured and killed nobles, slaughtered civilians.
She bathed in the blood of babies, fed bones to dragons, sacrificed her family to hatch dragons, practiced the magic of shadows and blood, and every night, with …
Even if the rumors are exaggerated, even if they are exaggerated by ten times, and the remaining ten percent is true, she is still an inhuman existence like a demon! "
The veins on Danny's forehead throbbed. She suppressed her anger and said, "I thought the nobles near the City of Knowledge would be more rational. Sir Baylor, you have disappointed me."
"Oh, did I say something wrong?" Baylor frowned.
"Who are the people who oppose the Mother Of Dragons?" Danny asked.
Baylor thought for a moment and said, "The merchants and nobles of the various trading cities."
"What kind of people are they?"
Baylor did not hesitate or force himself to answer. He said matter-of-factly, "Cultured gentlemen."
"There is no way to continue this topic." Danny held her forehead and groaned, "The Mother Of Dragons wants to abolish slavery and liberate the oppressed slaves.
Slaves support the sea trade of the world today. Without slaves, the sea trade of the free cities will shrink by three-quarters. For the hundreds of millions of gold royals, the Allied Army was formed. "
"I understand what you mean." Baylor nodded thoughtfully. He turned to Professor Perestan and said calmly, "Professor, the rumors about Danny Rize within the Seven Kingdoms all came from the City of Knowledge. It seems that she is not the same person as the Mother Of Dragons that Miss Leila mentioned."
"What, those comments about the Mother Of Dragons came from the City of Knowledge?" Danny was stunned.
She thought that Baylor was a rotten person on the inside and was easily deceived by the sea merchants of the free cities. She never thought that the City of Knowledge was spreading unfavorable rumors about her.
She even praised the City of Knowledge's wisdom and responsibility in the matter of "Cold Winter".
Professor Perestan pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He sighed, "We are not lying. Did any of the Guise nobles in Slave Bay survive? I am talking about the Virtuous Lord, the Great Lord, the Kind Lord. "
"Almost all of them died." Danny nodded.
The old professor shrugged and asked, "The Kind Lord is equivalent to a Duke. Can you imagine the scene of killing all the Dukes of the Seven Kingdoms? Isn't that cruel enough? "
"Too cruel!" A noble trembled and said.
Danny …
The old professor asked again, "Thousands of people saw her dragon eat people with their own eyes. She ate hundreds of Second Sons mercenaries. Is that fake?"
"But Sir Baylor was talking about babies. The Mother Of Dragons bathed in the blood of babies and then fed the bones of the babies to the dragon." Danny retorted.
"Maybe it is a little exaggerated, but it is more or less correct. Everyone thought, dragons even eat adults. Why would they let children go? We have records in the City of Knowledge. Dragons eating children is nothing new. "The old professor said with conviction.
"Yes, when I was young, before I went to bed, my old grandma told me about dragons eating children many times."
"Sigh, my old grandma told me about it too."
"Me too."
"I …"
Many nobles were surprised to find that their old grandma had told them similar stories.
"So, the dragon must have eaten children." They concluded.
"Did your old grandma tell you about Targaryen bathing in the blood of babies?" Danny said with a straight face.
"It wasn't Targaryen. It seemed to be a countess from Helenburg." The Count of Harvest Hall said thoughtfully.
"If a countess can bathe in the blood of babies, why can't the Mother Of Dragons?" Professor Perestan said with conviction.
"According to your logic, if the thieves at the docks steal things, do you think everyone here will steal things too?" Danny's mouth twitched.
"I have a theoretical basis." The red-nosed old professor said with conviction. "That woman personally admitted that she needs to sacrifice her loved ones to hatch a dragon.
What does this mean?
It means that she is a witch, a Child of Shadow, an evil Blood Wizard! Isn't it natural for a Blood Wizard to bathe in the blood of babies? "
How did she offend the City of Knowledge? Why did they try so hard to slander her?
Was it to warm up public opinion for the upcoming power struggle?
But wasn't the City of Knowledge an academic institution that pursued knowledge and truth? Why was there such a strong political bias?
At this point, Danny had a rough understanding of the City of Knowledge's attitude.
Due to the approaching winter, endless wars, and political chaos, the scholars were sincerely worried about the people of the Seven Kingdoms. However, they did not think that the Dragon Queen was the best candidate to end the chaos. They were even extremely repulsed by her.
Danny did not try to correct the nobles' view of her. Instead, she went straight to the point and asked, "If one day, the Dragon Queen returns to the Westeros and intends to restore the Targaryen Dynasty, how will the City of Knowledge and the nobles deal with her?"
"I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to get past the Allied Army?" The old professor looked indifferent.
"She has four dragons!" Danny reminded.
"Aren't there only three?" Baylor was puzzled.
"I heard that another one was hatched."
"Dragons are not invincible." The history professor shook his head and said with certainty. "I study history and know how high the dragon's casualty rate is in regular wars.
In the era when there were no dragon-slaying crossbows, Valleglia attacked many times in the form of an army. One hundred dragons, two hundred dragons, three hundred dragons.
Even with such a powerful army, there was still a loss of close to two percent.
Especially in the battle with the Loirnars, sixty percent of the Dragon King died in battle (after the battle ended, he was ambushed by the gods at night and died in the flood). Nearly ten percent of the Megalosaurus died as well.
Not to mention that the woman only has four dragons and can't withstand a few rounds of exhaustion. Before the Dance of the Blood Dragons, the Targaryens had more than twenty Megalosaurus. Why didn't they have the ambition to challenge the world? "
I am also very puzzled by the stupidity of the Targaryen ancestors.
For the sake of a broken place like the Westeros, there was internal strife and fighting to the death. Even the dragons became extinct.
If they had the strength, they might as well conquer Slaver's Bay, conquer Volantis, conquer Queers, and promote the Targaryen royal family to a world-class royal family.
"Perhaps the Dragon Queen won't be able to get past the Allied Army, but when she has nowhere else to go, she might have no choice but to accept the position of Queen of the Seven Kingdoms. At that time —"
"Accept the position?" Baylor was unhappy.
Aren't the Westeros the center of the world's civilization? Isn't the King of the Seven Kingdoms the best job in the world?
Danny sighed and said helplessly, "Everyone, I am also a Westeros, but we have to face reality.
In the eyes of the world, the Westeros are a barren land. Their culture is backward and their political system is not advanced enough. They are also especially closed off and poor. "
"How are we backward? Poor? Who doesn't know that Duke Tywin's shit is made of gold? "The Count of Red Apple retorted angrily.
Danny glanced at him and said calmly, "It is said that the Dragon Queen seized fifty million gold royals worth of wealth from Slaver's Bay. In terms of weight, it is a hundred times more than what Tywin eats. I don't believe that Duke Lannister's shit is more than what he eats."
"Hiss —" Everyone gasped. It was as if they were in an illusion. Countless golden cuties were falling towards them like a waterfall …
"Of course, the poverty of the Westeros isn't just due to the lack of gold. In the world trade, the Westeros have the three major sea ports: King's Landing, Old Town and White Harbor. But have you noticed?
The most popular export product of the Seven Kingdoms is wine. Wine from Qingting Island and Dorne. What does this mean? "
"What?" The nobles looked at Danny blankly.
"Sigh, the Westeros import Barren Porcelain, Summer Islands furniture, Myr lace and glass, Pentos spices (transit station) and Tyrosh handicrafts from sea trade."
Danny turned to the old professor, "Even the poison used by the scholars is imported from Lisi. Am I right?"
Yes, other than nurturing bed slaves, the Lisi people's ability to create poison is also world-famous.
