Previously, in order to search the kitchen of the main battlefield, the Night Watchers found firewood and set up three bonfires beside the well.
The broken beams of the house crackled and burned in the fire. The raging flames rose half a meter into the air.
Fatty was able to keep his oath in front of the Dragon Queen, and after the Great Wall cracked open, and facing Erlu's coercion, he was even more determined.
He refused to reveal the secret of the Dark Gate, and Erlu and the Night Watchers went to the bottom of the well, so they didn't get the secret out of him like Danny did.
Moreover, the Night Watchers were nearby, and they didn't want Erlu to control the Magic Hub of the Great Wall, so Stannis didn't put too much pressure on Fatty.
Not long after, Fatty was free.
He was tired, hungry, and cold, so he ran to the bonfire beside the well, squatted on the wall of the well, and closed his eyes to rest, until he saw the pig trotter that was kicked into the charcoal hole by the Dragon Queen …
When the Dragon Queen walked into the kitchen to look for evidence of the rat chef, she saw Fatty sitting by the bonfire, chewing on a bone with his face covered in oil.
"Seven levels of hell, Sam, what are you eating?!" Danny had a bad feeling.
"Burp, pig trotter," Sam chewed on the oily tendon and mumbled, "No, it doesn't taste like pork, it's more delicious than pork. Venison? It tastes like deer meat, and a bit like bamboo rat, so fragrant, so fresh, do you have any more? One isn't enough? "
"Such a big one, it's not enough …" Danny's mouth twitched, and she confirmed again, "Where did you find the pig trotter?"
"In the charcoal pit, luckily I have good eyes," Sam complained as he chewed on the bone, "Megalosaurus is too wasteful when it eats, a mouthful of dragon flame burned half of the thick leg, or else I would be full. “
"Gulp …" A drop of cold sweat slid down her temples. Dani blinked her eyes and swallowed hard. She then asked, "I remember, it was already cold."
"Remove the charcoal, cut it into pieces, stir it over the fire, and rub salt on it. It smells good … Oh, the bones are so hard." Sam stuffed a huge bone into his mouth, and the sound of his teeth rubbing against the bone could be heard.
"This meat … I don't know where it came from." Danny didn't know if she should tell him the truth.
"Isn't it just the leftover bones of the Megalosaurus? I've seen a lot of them in front of the King's Tower in the past few days. Sometimes, Sir Barristan would cut a piece of meat from the charred thigh of the bison as a side dish."
Fatty pulled out the bone club from his mouth, then pulled out the longsword at his waist. With a series of clanging sounds, he chopped off the top of the bone. Then, he picked up the rest and sucked on it with his mouth.
"Drip drip drip …" As the milky white bone marrow entered his mouth, Fatty's squinted eyes shone with happiness.
"This fat man must be quarantined," Dany said to the Night's Watch and Stannis, pointing at the fat man who was sucking the marrow out of his bones. "Lock him up in the underground rock cellar. Do not contact him for at least fourteen days."
.....
This was an era of debauchery and bad etiquette, an era where slaves of three surnames were everywhere.
At this moment, someone was considering changing allegiance for the fourth time.
Under the setting sun, the surface of the Blackwater Bay was golden.
Tidehead Island, Hightide City.
On the cliff of the sea, there was a towering stone castle.
At the top of the castle hall, on the floating wooden throne, Count Monterey trembled as he held a letter. He asked the grey robed scholar under him in fear, "Scholar Newton, what should we do now?"
Count Monterey was only six years old. He had a round red face, white skin, and Valleglia's signature silver hair. He was a very cute child.
At this moment, the child's eyes did not have the naivety and carefree that a child should have. His blue eyes were only filled with confusion and fear.
The hunchbacked old scholar with white hair frowned as he thought for a moment. He said solemnly, "My lord, in theory, you should be like Count Adrian and change your allegiance immediately. Make a statement to the outside world and support Danny Liz Targaryen firmly."
"But we have just pledged our loyalty to Lannister …" A middle-aged knight with a missing front tooth, Sodas, said hesitantly, "In the battle of Blackwater River, Count Morford died in battle. Tidehead Island suffered heavy losses and lost the ability to protect itself.
But in the battle of Dragonstone Island, Tidehead Island was not plundered by Count Redwin's Qingting Island Fleet.
We had long ago promised Duke Tywin that the day Dragonstone fell would be the day Tidehead Isle swore fealty to the Iron Throne, citing the fact that his lordship was too young to resist King Stannis.
Now, it has been less than a month since Dragonstone Island fell. We have also pledged our loyalty to Queen Cersei for less than a month. If we change our allegiance so soon, isn't it too … "
The battle of Dragonstone Island was extremely tragic. Sir Roland led the dozens of guards left behind by Erlu and caused dozens of casualties to Lannister.
Of the two thousand elites left behind by Tywin at the King's Landing, more than a thousand died on the spot. The rest were mostly crippled.
That was why the Great Sparrow could still leisurely wash the floor of the Great Cathedral after tricking Cersei.
While Dragonstone Island was in such a tragic state, Tidehead Island, which was less than ten kilometers away, was in peace.
At that time, Tidehead Island was still under Erlu's control!
This was the survival wisdom of the Westeros nobles.
Throw away your integrity and kneel down to beg for mercy. Protect the castle and continue to live a carefree life.
Monterey Valerian, whose father had died, still had a few loyal vassals. After the Battle of the Blackwater River ended, the loyal vassals quietly surrendered to Tywin.
With Tywin's personality, when faced with people who were kneeling and begging for mercy, he would immediately walk up to them and personally help them up. He would sit at the same table and drink wine with them.
After the War of the Usurpers, he gave up on Targaryen and turned to Theon Beira, becoming the second vassal. After the War of the Four Kings, he gave up on Theon Beira and turned to Lannister, becoming the third vassal.
Now, the young count saw the hope of returning to his old ways.
"Sir Thordas, Targaryen is the true lord of Valerian." Knight Dink, who was in his early fifties and had short white hair, sighed with a complicated expression. "More importantly, she has the Megalosaurus. She is a true dragon! When the true dragon returns, Valerian can only submit. "
"But according to the legends in the City of Knowledge, she is an evil witch who commits all kinds of crimes. She even violated the rights of the guests and burned the City of Knowledge, allowing the dragon to eat Professor Perestan who served her. Will the people of the Seven Kingdoms accept such a woman? "Sir Thordas hesitated.
Uh, Danny's guess was not wrong. The night she left the old town, the City of Knowledge frantically sent out crows to tell the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms about how the Dragon Queen violated the rights of the guests and viciously burned down the City of Knowledge that was friendly to her.
That's right, the person who violated the rights of the guests became the Dragon Queen!
The nobles of the City of Knowledge and the old town warmly received the Dragon Queen who used the alias of Leila Weishui. Who knew that she actually used evil witchcraft in the City of Knowledge. Professor Perestan and Sir Dax Norton (During the incident in the City of Knowledge, Little Yin was forced to death by Barristan at the staircase) went to stop her but were instead devoured by the Mystic Dragon that she summoned.
After that, she rode on the dragon and burned half of the City of Knowledge, destroying the Steward's Pavilion.
One must know that at that time, the professors in the City of Knowledge were treating Leila as a VIP!
So, while Danny was still acting cool in Hejian County, the news of her coming to the Westeros was already known by the nobles south of King's Landing.
Let's not talk about the reaction of the nobles and the commoners towards the return of the Mystic Dragon Queen. Count Adrian Sytiga who had been obediently being a captive in the King's Landing immediately ran away.
Adrian Sytiga was the Count of Crab Island. Like his younger brother Count Morford, he had followed Stannis to participate in the Battle of Blackwater River.
After all, Crab Island and Tide Island were the strongest territories among the few vassals of Dragonstone Island.
Adrian who was in his fifties was luckier than Count Morford who was not even in his thirties. Or it could be said that he was older and more cautious. He was also more cunning and did not have the recklessness of a young man.
Although his family's army had suffered some losses, but his life was still saved.
Without a doubt, Count Adrian was also a qualified noble. He immediately knelt before Tywin.
Other than true dragons, lions or stags, there was no difference to crabs (the Count of Crab Island's emblem was a red-shelled crab).
Tywin did not make things difficult for him. He only asked the old crab to stay in the King's Landing for two years. When the situation stabilized, he would then be allowed to return home.
The old crab gladly agreed.
He thought that the situation was settled, and the day of the King's Landing was coming.
Then Tywin died, the imps ran away, Cersei went crazy, and the Dragon Queen appeared out of nowhere and returned on a dragon.
The old crab man may be old, but his mind was not muddled. He immediately led the remaining two to three hundred 'crab soldiers' and escaped from the King's Landing in the night.
At that time, the two thousand lions of King's Landing were buried on Dragonstone Island by the Knight of Flowers. Even Cersei was locked up in the dungeon by the Great Sparrow for various adjustments. Lannister's power was in a vacuum at King's Landing, and no one cared about the old crab.
Once he returned to Crab Island on a fast boat, the old crab immediately sent a letter to the neighboring Tidehead Island, inviting his little brother to 'welcome the Queen and join in the righteous cause'.
Then, the six-year-old Count Monterey gathered his retainers to discuss this matter.
"Even if I am a scholar, I have to say that the City of Knowledge has made a huge mistake this time!" Scholar Newton said with an ugly expression.
"You also think that the scholar is lying?" Old Sir Dink's eyes lit up as he quickly asked.
Yes, regarding the Dragon Queen's violation of the guest's rights, most of the nobles were skeptical.
Especially the nobles and knights who attended the Honey River Conference. They had interacted with Leila before. Although they were shocked by her identity as the Dragon Queen, almost no one believed that she would violate the guest's rights.
Instead, it was the ordinary citizens who followed the crowd. Most of them cursed the Dragon Witch, and some even treated her as the second Frey.
"I can't find a reason why the Dragon Queen would violate the guest's rights. Even many of the citizens in the old town saw her riding a dragon and spitting out fireballs. Even if it was true that the City of Knowledge was set on fire …" Scholar Newton suddenly paused, and his expression turned ugly. "There is a saying that the guilty party cries first. I am very worried that the violation of the guest's rights is true, but …"
Sir Sodas licked his teeth and said doubtfully, "Could the City of Knowledge be lying? That's impossible. The scholar swore to be neutral and not participate in the struggle for power, if … "
"Did you notice the reaction of the old town of Hightower?" Scholar Newton said bitterly.
"What reaction?"
"No reaction. They did not express any opinion at all. Most of the nobles in River Bend were also silent. If the City of Knowledge did not have any political leanings, why would the Dragon Queen attack the City of Knowledge?
I suspect that a scholar recognized her identity and did something dishonorable, provoking the Dragon Queen to take revenge. "
"This …"
The young Count was confused, but Sodas and Old Dink's expressions changed drastically. They shouted in disbelief, "Has the City of Knowledge gone mad?"
"Hiss —"
Suddenly, a loud beast roar came from the sky outside the window. A terrifying aura that made people tremble followed.
"Dragon, Megalosaurus …" The guards outside the hall shouted frantically.
"Hehe …" The hunchbacked scholar laughed bitterly and shook his head. "Don't think about it. She is here. Valerian has no choice. Count, prepare to swear your loyalty!"
