"Why are you looking for me?" The red-nosed old man slid down from Galen's back and asked weakly.
"What's wrong with you? You were still healthy and full of energy the day before yesterday. You were busy in the savage camp and treated more than a hundred patients. Why did you suddenly become weak?" Dani held back her laughter and asked with a concerned expression.
"I …" The old man's lifeless eyes turned towards the wooden stake that bound the deviant ghost. "I saw it. There really are deviant ghosts. The Night Watchers and Savages didn't lie to me. There really are deviant ghosts!"
"So?" Danny didn't seem to understand.
"Boohoo …" The old professor started crying. "Deviant ghosts have nothing to do with dragons. Without dragons and magic, humans wouldn't even be able to create Valleglia's steel sword, let alone the Light Emissary.
The 'real world' that the City of Knowledge pursued for hundreds of years was wrong. It was so wrong. Even survival can't be guaranteed. The 'real world' has become the most illusory fantasy. "
"Hehe," Danny laughed happily. "You know you're wrong? Then start redeeming yourself! "
"Redeeming yourself? What did Professor Perestan do wrong? Isn't he a scholar serving you? "Some of the Night Watchers who didn't know the inside story were confused.
Well, other than Scholar Yimont, the others didn't know that the City of Knowledge plotted against the Dragon Queen. They also didn't know that Perestan was sent to the Great Wall as a prisoner and a criminal.
Like Yimont, they thought that the Dragon Queen followed the tradition of the Westeros and went to the City of Knowledge to find a scholar to assist her. Although everyone could see that the Dragon Queen's attitude towards the old professor was strange, unlike how a lord treated a scholar.
"Old man, tell them." Danny crossed her arms in front of her chest and lifted her chin at the old man. "Today, you will officially wear the black robe. You have to let your Night Watchers understand why you're here. Only then can you cut all ties with the past and the sins of the past will have nothing to do with you."
"I …" The old professor looked up blankly. He saw the Night Watchers, Knights, and Savages around him blinking their eyes and looking at him curiously.
All of a sudden, he shuddered and woke up in an instant. He was also full of energy.
"I'm sick. Can we talk about it next time?" he begged piteously.
"Weren't you very confident and had a clear conscience before? The change in the City of Knowledge was a huge matter, it was impossible to hide it. No matter how inaccessible the Great Wall is, it's only a matter of time before the news reaches us. "Danny shook her head.
"Sigh …" The old man's flushed face turned pale again. He looked at the Night Watchers and said, "I violated the guest's rights. When I invited Queen Danny Liz to the City of Knowledge, I poisoned her and —"
"Hua!" Everyone was shocked. They had never thought that the skinny and sickly old man would reveal such a shocking piece of information.
"Seven Gods above, what's wrong with the Westeros recently? Who would dare to go to other people's homes as guests in the future?" Sir Mallister said angrily.
"Are you crazy?!" Stannis, who was bandaging his right hand, suddenly turned around and shouted in disbelief.
"Dr. Perestan, why did you do that? Didn't the scholar swear to be neutral and not participate in the struggle for power? "Jon stepped forward and said with an unpleasant expression.
"Sigh, the Southerners are really immoral." The Savages looked at the old man with disdain.
The red-nosed old man glanced at the people who were pointing at him and continued, "Other than poisoning her, I also arranged for people to set up crossbows and assassins on both sides of her room. I also prepared five hundred archers and more than a hundred dragon-slaying crossbows on the roof and on the ground.
I know that the Megalosaurus and the Dragon Knights have a special connection. If the Dragon Knights were to be harmed, the Megalosaurus would definitely come to investigate and take revenge. That way, the dragon-slaying crossbows would be able to kill Queen Danny Liz's Megalosaurus. "
The people who were cursing the old professor gradually stopped. They were all stunned and speechless.
"The City of Knowledge has gone mad, the scholar has gone mad, the old town's Hyder family has gone mad!" The knights and knights of the Deer Party shook their heads.
"I have no grudge against Queen Danny Liz. I only did that to realize the ideals of the 'real world.'" Then, the old man revealed the secrets of the real world and the Dance of the Blood Dragons.
Silence. There was not even a voice criticizing him. The number of people in the audience was equal to the number of gaping mouths and bulging eyes.
Everyone was shocked. They looked at the old professor as if they were looking at a visitor from outer space.
Most people did not understand what the real world was. They only knew that the City of Knowledge was awesome and crazy. The City of Knowledge had slaughtered dozens of Targaryen dragons. The City of Knowledge was terrifying.
A few people who understood the ideals of the City of Knowledge felt a chill in their hearts. Was a scholar with his own will still worthy of the nobles' trust?
It was obvious that the scholar of the City of Knowledge treated the holy oath as nonsense.
Regardless of whether the dragons were harmful or beneficial to the world, the scholar had indeed sworn loyalty to the Iron Throne and vowed not to participate in the struggle for power.
Today, they dared to destroy the Megalosaurus because of the real world. Tomorrow, would they kill all the nobles and monks for the sake of a 'fair world?'
Fat Sam took a step forward and said with a puffed up face, "Professor, the City of Knowledge exists for two purposes. First, to explore the truth of the world and use knowledge as a belief. Second, to selflessly serve the people and nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
There are very few people who can master the occult, but no one can deny that magic is also a kind of knowledge. You can choose the knowledge you want to learn, but you can't erase the knowledge you can't master.
It's like how warriors choose their weapons. Some use swords, some use hammers, and some use spears and bows.
It's impossible. If you choose swords, as the representative of all the warriors in the world, only swords are the right way to go. You can't destroy hammers, spears, bows and arrows and make other weapons disappear from the world. "
Danny looked at the white bread fatty in surprise. She did not expect him to have such knowledge and courage.
"Sam, you're right. I was wrong. The City of Knowledge was wrong." The old man lowered his head and sighed.
"I think the City of Knowledge's ideal of the real world is good," Stannis suddenly said. "A world without magic, dragons, gods, and otherworldly ghosts is more friendly to humans."
"Is this what the Son of Holy Fire appointed by the King of Light should say?" Danny's mouth twitched.
"This has nothing to do with my belief in the King of Light," Erlu said seriously. "When there are no more demons or ghosts in the world, His Majesty Lahlo will be able to sit high above the Astral World and watch the world at peace as the sun rises and sets."
"No," Perestan shook his head and said. "Your thoughts are the same as mine and the other scholars of the City of Knowledge. You've entered a misunderstanding.
The world gave birth to us, not us creating the world.
The world is here, right in front of us. It has existed for millions of years and will continue to exist for tens of thousands of years.
Everyone looks forward to Eversummer, but the rules of the four seasons have nothing to do with what we think.
Until now, I still think the ideal of the real world is good, as good as Eversummer. But this is a magical world, destined to have gods and magic.
If we humans can't adapt, we'll be eliminated …
For example, in this long night, the otherworldly ghosts are obviously intelligent and civilized.
We hate magic and deliberately deny the existence of magic, even causing the Megalosaurus to go extinct. Then, we don't have the ability to fight against magic, so we perished in the long night. The otherworldly ghosts replaced us and became the new humans on this continent.
The world still exists and operates as usual. "
"This …" Stannis was stunned.
"Old man, your awareness and knowledge have improved a lot recently!" Danny stared at the red-nosed old doctor strangely.
"I violated the rights of a guest and hurt you, I'm willing to wear the black robe." The old man glanced at Danny and turned to search among the Night Watchers. He shouted, "I've said what I need to say, who will lead me to recite the oath of the Night Watchers?"
The higher-ups of the Night Watchers looked at each other and hesitated.
"Your Majesty, can we kill him with one slash?" The commander of the East Sea Watch, Caterick, said to Danny with an ugly expression. "Or, let the Megalosaurus eat him? Although we Night Watchers don't care about background, we have an unwritten rule – we don't accept people who violate the rights of a guest. "
The old doctor's face was pale as he shouted in panic, "When was there such a rule?"
Even the Night Watchers didn't want him, where else could he go?
"There's no clear rule, but …" Bowen Maxi swallowed and said awkwardly, "No one wants to be brothers with people who violate the rights of a guest!"
"Yes, yes," the stupid cow Galen nodded. "Although I don't know what you were talking about just now, the real world, I don't understand it either. But it's obvious that this guy is someone like Walder Frey and the Rat Chef.
Gods, let me be brothers with the Rat Chef … I won't do it! "
"Yes, I can tolerate male prostitutes, rapists, murderous demons, but the Rat Chef is too unbearable." Toad Toad nodded in agreement.
"I'm different from the Rat Chef and Walder Frey! I'm doing this for my ideals, I don't have any personal grudges or interests. "Old Bowen was trembling with anger.
"There's no difference. A thousand years ago, there was a Rat Chef. A thousand years later, you, Pereston, will become the 'New Rat Chef' that everyone knows.
After all, you murdered a great king. As long as humans exist, they won't forget this, "the melancholy Eddie said confidently.
"Sigh, Walder Frey will thank you. With you in front of him, he might be able to hide quietly in history, or at least not be so obvious. "Sir Mallister sighed.
The old doctor closed his eyes in despair. Two streams of tears flowed down his shriveled cheeks. He raised his head and shouted, "Mercy, mercy, kill me, let the dragon flames burn me to death!"
The initiation ceremony turned into a scolding session. The old man broke down.
"Uh, calm down." Danny hurriedly comforted him. "This is the sin of the entire City of Knowledge. You can't bear it alone, old doctor."
"But everyone only remembers me. There's only one Rat Chef. Why don't you catch a few more doctors?" The old man had nothing to lose. He started to complain about the Dragon Queen.
"There's still hope if you're alive. If you're dead, you'll really become a Rat Chef."
"What hope is there? Even the Night Watchers look down on me …" The old man's heart was dead as he lamented.
"Don't worry, I'll force you in. The Night Watchers can't reject a criminal sent by the Queen."
"No! Queen, have mercy, have mercy, kill him! "The night watchers wailed.
"Shut up!" The Dragon Queen was possessed by the Dragon Soul. She roared angrily. The entire place fell silent. Everyone stared at her blankly.
"It's settled then. Galen, go to the cellar and bring another Corpse Ghost here."
The Dragon Queen made the decision arbitrarily. No one dared to object.
"Todd, Eddie, put on the armor for the doctor."
"For what?" The old man asked blankly.
"For the initiation ceremony."
