At this time, King's Landing was desolate, dirty, cold, gray, and crowded with refugees. There was no special scenery or food. When Danny left the Great Cathedral, it was almost evening. She even refused Barristan's suggestion to eat some "hometown food" — who knew where the meat came from?
The two only bought three large loaves of lemon-flavored white bread and a few fur coats on the side of the road and left.
They did not go back the way they came. The area in the northwest city was too chaotic. Barristan was worried that a mob would rob them — this was not a groundless worry. The news that Danny gave Stryker a bag of gold royals must have spread. Many people were looking for her on the street!
Even though Dani had taken the Gate of All Gods in the northeast direction, and even though they did not delay at all, they were still three kilometers away from the city gate. Seeing that the sky had completely darkened and the surroundings were desolate, five chain-armored riders on thin horses still surrounded them.
There was no need for Dahei and Whitey in the sky to make a move. Barristan fought against three, and Danny fought against two. The five bandits only had time to shoot a wave of crossbow arrows, but the arrows clanged on their bodies, but it was useless.
Then, like chopping vegetables, he cut off the neck and split the head in two. The gangster who attacked Dani died on the spot.
The white knight wiped the bloodstains on the blade with the dead man's woolen sweater and said with a complicated look, "They are the makers and sources of the 'pork' in the brown soup. If there are no wild wolves nearby, the bodies will be sent to the flea nest tomorrow."
Danny frowned and pondered. According to her previous idea, she naturally did not care about the life and death of the Westeros. She even had the excuse of not interfering in the war of the Seven Kingdoms and the Deviants going south. She was besieged by the Allies!
This was also the reason why she deliberately did not go north to integrate the Dothraki.
With the four dragons and the four or five thousand roaring warriors accumulated from the liberation of the slaves, Danny was sure that she could unify the Dothraki within half a year.
And the best defense was offense. Leaving the Mother of Dragons' guards to guard Slaver's Bay, she would lead a hundred thousand Roaring Warriors on an expedition to the west. What Kholor, what Volantis, what Myr, Novos, and even Braavos, whose navy was developed and whose army relied on mercenaries, were all trash.
But what about after conquering all the city-states in the Western Continent in two years?
She had to deal with the counterattacks and disturbances from the old rulers, feed the Ursosian people who were not used to the harsh winter, and take on the main responsibility of fighting off the otherworldly ghosts … When she was exhausted from all the work, a dagger came stabbing at her from the back.
In order to deal with the old nobles of Gith, she even got a 'scholar'. What should she do? Even if a real scholar were to descend, she wouldn't be able to handle it!
Should he just kill them all? (If the Great God of Harmony wasn't so awesome, a certain Eight Banner Elites would have been able to pull off "No Hair Left Behind", "The Three Butchers of Quiles", and "The Ten Days of Volantis" to end all troubles once and for all.)
The old nobles were a big problem, but what was even more frightening was the habit of Ursos. The southern cities, such as Volantis, Lys, Terosi, and Myr, rarely stored grain for winter.
From the map of the World of Ice and Fire, the northernmost Braavos of the Ursos continent was about the same latitude as the Ayrin Valley in the Westeros.
What did that mean?
Ursos had a subtropical, tropical, and equatorial climate. Most of the cities were located in the tropical and equatorial regions, so many people rarely saw snow, and there was no snow in winter either.
Just like how Galan Tyrell was puzzled by Garth's release of peasant soldiers to collect grain, River Bend was also located on the edge of the tropical and equatorial regions. The climate was hot and the winters were short. Even the sunshine in winter was enough to grow wheat.
Under normal circumstances, River Bend did not store grain. If grain did not flow out, only a few poor people would starve to death in winter. On the other hand, in the North, even if grain was stored in the late summer, large numbers of people would starve to death in winter, and then go south to beg for grain.
Danny knew that the Long Night was coming, and also knew that the free cities did not have much grain in storage. Most of the people would starve to death in the Long Night, so she was a fool to take over the Western Continent before the Long Night.
Do what you are in your position, do not do what you are not in your position.
The meaning of this sentence could be understood as follows: Do what you are in your position, do not do what you are not in your position.
She had taken over her own cities, and as a king, she had to be responsible for her people. When there was not enough food and the people starved, only the king would be the one to curse, and some would even think that the Dragon Queen had caused the Long Night to come.
On the other hand, if Danny had stayed in Slaver's Bay and waited for the alliance to attack, and then the Long Night came, the people would curse the alliance leader for going against the righteous Mother Of Dragons, causing the Long Night to come to punish the people.
At that time, at the end of the Long Night (after defeating the Night King), Danny would casually send any amount of grain from Slaver's Bay to help the people who survived. Then, she would be the Child of Prophecy, the Merciful Bodhisattva.
The people of the world would remember her kindness. Freeing the slaves would become a matter of obedience, and Danny's dynasty would be recognized by the world as the rightful ruler of the dynasty!
Danny was not a fool, so of course, she would choose a plan that was beneficial to her.
However, after seeing dozens of children pitifully drooling around the brown soup pot at King's Landing, she suddenly felt touched. The Long Night had not come, and such a tragic thing had already happened at King's Landing.
When the Long Night came, how many King's Landing would there be in the world, and how many children would be so hungry that they could not even drink the brown soup?
When the millions of people who starved to death and froze to death were no longer a string of cold numbers, but the men, women, old people, young people and children in front of you, then imperial ambitions and whatnot would not be that important.
There was not much that Danny could do, but she intended to try her best.
.....
Professor Perestan was thrown onto a small reef in Blackwater Bay by Danny, about forty to fifty square meters in size. When the two dragons found the scorched island, the tide of the night had already flooded half of the island. The old professor was shivering in the crevice of the rock, his lips were frozen black.
Yep, he was still wearing the gray cotton robe from the old town.
"Hehe, now you can really feel that winter is coming, right?" Danny threw a sheepskin coat over and lamented, "The City of Learning should not have been placed at the southernmost part of the Westeros. The environment in the old town is too good, so good that you scholars don't have any sense of crisis and urgency, and only think about nonsense all day long.
Most people in the country can't even fill their stomachs, but you are thinking about the illusory problem of the 'real world'. "
"I've decided," she stood up and announced to the old man who hurriedly put on the sheepskin coat, "When I, King's Landing, the City of Learning must move to the north."
The old professor was wolfing down the white bread, but when he heard that, he could not help but have half a piece of bread crumb in his mouth. He asked blankly, "Move to where?"
"The Great Wall, or Bear Island?"
Mormont would definitely be happy to see the City of Learning move to Bear Island. A large number of scholars could drive the rapid economic development of Bear Island, and the Count of Bear Island would no longer have to worry about not being able to support his prodigal wife!
They did not stay on Scorched Island for long. The place was too small, and the wind was too strong. It was not suitable to spend the night there. After flying for another half an hour to the north, they landed in a ginkgo tree forest. When the white knight was setting up a tent for Danny, Blackie and Whitey went to the nearby castle and brought two cows over.
Danny was the only one who had a small tent of three square meters. The old knight and Perestan wrapped themselves in thick cloaks and fur cloaks by the bonfire and spent the night there.
The old professor, who was warming himself by the bonfire, said with a complicated expression, "It's really convenient to have dragons. We can travel thousands of miles in a day and come and go freely."
"So you mortals are jealous?"
Danny sat cross-legged in the tent. The tent flap faced the bonfire, and it was warm and cozy.
"Perhaps," the old man did not deny it, "but the Megalosaurus only increased the Targaryen's arrogance and cruelty, it has no benefit to ruling the kingdom."
"You can say that after you go to the Great Wall," Danny pulled the tent flap and said to the white knight who was cutting meat, "Let me see where Geno is."
"Who is Geno? What does she mean? "the old professor asked curiously.
"A trainee white knight who is on his way to Braavos. His Majesty wants to contact him through the glass candle."
"Glass candle for long-distance communication?" The red-nosed old man widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "She knows witchcraft?"
The white knight was stunned. This old man did not notice the matter of the spiritual projection last night?
Now he was a little embarrassed and said hesitantly, "His Majesty has inherited part of Valleglia's witchcraft."
As he said that, the tent suddenly projected wisps of gray light, and then quickly dimmed. About five minutes later, when the tent flap was pulled open, Danny saw two pairs of inquisitive eyes.
"Where is he?"
"Did you really light the glass candle?"
The two of them spoke at the same time and asked two different questions.
Danny only glanced at the old professor and said to the white knight, "He is still floating on the narrow sea. If there are no accidents, he will reach Braavos in about half a month."
Other than the Dark Star, Danny also glanced at the two Faceless. The one-eyed female Faceless was also on the ship. Jia Kun … Uh, it was very awkward. Jia Kun was cleaning the "magic pot" and would kiss and caress it from time to time. He would call out, "Mother, your son is filial …"
Cold, mysterious, and handsome, the most pretentious Faceless in Game of Thrones, had his face covered in blood and became an idiot … It was too tragic.
"What about the old town?" the white knight asked again.
"Old town?"
"The Extraordinary Gathering," the old knight reminded her.
"Uh, today is the third day. If you didn't mention it, I would have forgotten." Danny smiled awkwardly and closed the tent flap again. The glass candle was lit again.
She originally thought that it would be more difficult to find Marvin's candle when the distance increased to two thousand kilometers. However, she did not expect to see a familiar signal in the void in less than three seconds.
It seemed that the other party had been looking for her and had been waiting for her.
Her mind power spread out, and her wizard power was quickly consumed. It was more than ten times more difficult than before.
"Ah, Master Xi Kui, I finally contacted you." Marvin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said tiredly.
"This is not the City of Knowledge?" Danny looked around. This was an empty, spacious circular hall of more than four hundred square meters. The floor was made of mahogany, and there was a row of bookshelves against the wall. The books were neatly arranged, clean and tidy.
In addition to Marvin and Larissa, there was an old man with a long silver beard and a middle-aged woman in a white robe.
"Master Xi Kui, I'm from the old town of Leidon Hyder." After the old man introduced himself, he pointed at the woman who was curiously staring at the silver shadow. "This is my eldest daughter, Moroya."
"Haha, Count Leidon, do you know who I am?" Danny smiled strangely.
The old man sighed and knelt on the ground, howling, "Your Majesty Danny Liz, the assassination attempt had nothing to do with me or the Hyder family!"
