Although they met the Door God and the rat chef, Danny did not change her plan. That night, she left the Great Wall with old Yimont.
As for the fact that Erlu and the Night Watchers did not believe in the rat chef, she did not waste any effort to prove anything.
Seeing that Fat Sam had sucked out the rat chef's bone marrow, she turned around and left without another word.
If Erlu wants the Great Wall, let him take it!
Danny also understood that Jon and the other Night Watchers did not meet the Black Door again. Even if Erlu forced Sam to open the Black Door, and even if Erlu and Melisandre entered the Black Door, they might not be able to enter the green wind ball and see Wind Song like she did.
She had to use the nine-colored vortex, the belt, and the second soul at the same time. She also had the help of the two dragon souls to rush through the green wind belt and enter the wind ball.
She did not believe that Melisandre's magic power was stronger than hers and the two dragons.
Therefore, Danny left with a clear conscience.
Although the old scholar kept muttering, "The Great Wall will not be at peace until the Mad Axe is taken care of", he could not find the scarlet ghost even after searching the entire Longnight Castle. He could only remind Melisandre and leave with the Dragon Queen.
Dani rode the white dragon while Barristan and the old man rode the black dragon. They set off at about one o 'clock in the morning and found a forest near the Dread Keep when the sky was just beginning to brighten. They set up their tents and rested for three hours, slept, and ate the two cows of the Bolton family before continuing their journey.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Blackwater Bay.
She left Yimont and Barristan to rest on the cliff near the sea on the Crab Claw Peninsula. Danny could sleep on the dragon's back, but they could not. She was full of energy. She rode the dragon around Dragonstone Island and found that there were two or three hundred guards. She then flew to the west in the direction of the King's Landing in an attempt to find Bronn's fleet.
There were many ships in Blackwater Bay. Danny was not sure which one belonged to Earl Bronn. Or perhaps, Bronn had already arrived at Tidehead Island.
She and Bronn had agreed to meet at Tidehead Island.
Thus, Danny decided to look for Valerian.
Valerian's castle was built on a cliff facing the sea. To the south was the sea, to the west was High Tide, and to the north was a small plain with villages.
The main castle was built against the mountain. The buildings were of different heights and were surrounded by eight towers. The front of the castle was guarded by six sentry towers that blocked the mountain path. On the east side, there was an observatory.
There was a thousand-square-meter courtyard in the center of the fortress. Flowers like Baby Stars and White Daisies surrounded a dragon pagoda in the center.
Of course, Valerian had dragon towers for Megalosaurus.
However, it was not tall. Due to the steep terrain, it only had four floors. The top was 200 square meters wide, much smaller than the Dragon Tower in Volantis.
When Dahei and Little White landed, it was a little crowded. Half of their tails were hanging outside the tower.
"Your subject, Monterey Valerian, greets Your Majesty the Queen."
The two dragons circled in the sky and landed on the dragon tower. A round-faced child in luxurious clothes led seven or eight knights to kneel and welcome them.
"Sigh, how pitiful. Valerian only has one child left." The Dragon Queen had forgotten her own identity and felt pity for the child.
"Your Majesty …" Little Monterey looked at the Dragon Queen blankly, not knowing what to do.
"Rise, all of you! I am Danny Liz Targaryen. "Danny glanced at the knights and scholars with different expressions behind the young count and said loudly," I want to take over the Targaryen's land, Dragonstone Island. "
The hunchbacked old scholar quietly touched the young count's back. The child immediately said respectfully, "Valerian is willing to serve Your Majesty."
"We are willing to serve Your Majesty." The knights behind the child swore together.
Sighing, Danny said, "Let me borrow the dragon tower for a few days. Let's talk downstairs."
The dragon tower was originally prepared for the Targaryens. However, the Megalosaurus had disappeared for more than a hundred years. The bedrooms and living rooms downstairs had not been occupied for a long time. The facilities were a little old.
The servants only changed the beds, curtains, chairs, and sofas when night fell.
In the living room, the fireplace burned brightly. Under the chandelier, Danny and the young count sat opposite each other at a long table. On both sides were knights and two scholars.
The maids entered in a single file, carrying Qingting Island Golden Wine, steaming hot bread, freshly stirred butter, thick beef soup, salad made of green peas, onions, and beets, fish stewed with almond milk, roast duck, fat chicken, roasted lamb chops that were grilled to golden brown …
It was very sumptuous.
Both parties had introduced themselves. Yimont and Barristan were old acquaintances. At this moment, everyone was much more familiar with each other. The atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.
After two rounds of wine for the Dragon Queen, Danny began to talk about business.
"Monterey, and the knights, you don't seem to be surprised by my arrival?" She was puzzled.
The young count glanced at his scholar and whispered, "We received a messenger crow from the City of Learning a week ago."
"Haha, those bastards made the first move …" Danny immediately understood. She sneered and asked, "They didn't say anything good about me, did they?"
"This …" The young Count Monterrey hesitated.
"They said that you violated the guest's rights and murdered the doctor who treated you as an honored guest." The hunchbacked scholar put down his wine glass and sighed bitterly.
"What?" Barristan was furious. "I never thought that the City of Learning could be so shameless."
Danny was not angry. If the lower limit of a scholar was a negative number, the absolute value would be as high as the upper limit of a scholar.
"Scholar Newton doesn't seem to believe the City of Learning's rhetoric?" She was more curious about the attitude of the Tide Head Island scholar.
"I … suspect that the City of Learning did something that violated the guest's rights." The hunchbacked scholar said with an ashen face.
"The City of Learning did it, and it has nothing to do with you." Danny comforted the sensible old scholar. She then told him everything that happened that day in detail. She did not even hide the truth about the "True World" and the Dance of the Blood Dragon.
The people of Tide Head Island were stunned at first. Their faces were filled with disbelief. When they came to their senses, they were filled with righteous indignation. They slammed the table hard and cursed.
"I'm afraid that the City of Learning has shot themselves in the foot this time. Doctor Perestan is not dead at all. He is even sending a request for help to all the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms." Old Yimont said with a complicated expression.
He hated the City of Learning for what they did.
Targaryen would never forget the pain of the Megalosaurus extinction. He could never forgive the City of Learning for plotting this. However, he deeply understood that the City of Learning had served the Westeros for thousands of years. They had made outstanding contributions and were indispensable.
If the City of Learning lost its reputation, the nobles would no longer trust the scholars wholeheartedly. Without the support of the nobles, the City of Learning would not be able to maintain its reputation and credibility.
However, the nobles and Westeros could not do without scholars!
"The City of Learning is also stupid. Almost all of the scholars know the truth about the Dance of the Blood Dragon. They can guess the reason why the City of Learning is dealing with me. Can the dozens of scholars in the City of Learning stop the rumors?
Even if they don't say anything, I can still capture a few of the scholars. When the time comes, won't the truth be revealed? "Danny mocked.
"Even the scholars know?" Sir Dink cried out.
"If so many people know, why hasn't the secret been spread?" Sir Sodas asked in surprise.
To be honest, Danny was also curious. The files were in the library. Even the scholars had the right to borrow them. How many scholars had there been in the past few hundred years? Why did no one tell the public?
Also, the past generations of Targaryens were too … careless could not even be used to describe them.
How stupid must they be to not receive any news about it?
Actually, Danny was wrong about two things. First, before the Targaryens were exterminated, there were no files about the Dance of the Blood Dragon and the True World in the library. At that time, ordinary scholars did not know the core secrets of the City of Learning. Second, the system for scholars to promote to scholars was far stricter than she had imagined.
If a scholar's thoughts were "unhealthy" and had the idea of revealing the City of Learning's secrets to outsiders, especially the Targaryens, the scholars would let him be surprised before he took action.
For example, Bull Neck Marvin, the extravagant scholar who could slash people with a knife and write poems with a pen, was also fearful of the City of Learning. He was worried that he would be poisoned to death one day if he said the wrong thing.
Not to mention the Targaryens, even the Eight-Clawed Spider Varys did not know that the City of Learning had such great ambitions to build the True World.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with the City of Learning?" the hunchbacked scholar asked worriedly.
"Sigh, the scholars and scholars who have committed crimes should all wear black clothes and be rid of their sins! As for the City of Learning, I will not ban it. Perhaps we should change the place and change the name. There must be a major reform. "
"Your Majesty is merciful!" Old Newton let out a long sigh of relief, his whole body relaxed.
"Why don't I convey your intentions to the City of Learning tonight?" he probed with a fawning expression.
Danny waved her hand and said seriously, "No, take Dragonstone Island and let Scholar Yimont represent me to inform them of the results of the trial."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's how it should be. "Scholar Newton nodded repeatedly and said in agreement.
However, there was still a letter that night. Scholar Newton represented the Dragon Queen and sent it out to Count Adrian Sytiga on the neighboring Crab Island.
It was late at night.
After learning the details of the other ghosts, the hunchbacked scholar and Sir Dink left with the dozing young count with heavy expressions.
By the fireplace, Old Yimont, who was nestled in a fur chair, muttered, "When attacking Dragonstone Island, Tidehead Island can be of help to you, but it will become a burden after that.
I'm worried that King's Landing won't let the enemy at their doorstep go. Battle is inevitable.
At that time, you have to protect Count Monterey. He's your vassal and the only heir of House Valerian. "
"If I ride a dragon and burn the Red Keep, will the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms think that I'm the Mad King the Second?" Danny sneered.
"Definitely," the old scholar said with certainty.
"The Red Keep to Targaryen is like Winterfell to Stark and the Eyrie to Ayrin. Your Majesty, you don't like the Red Keep, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't have any symbolic meaning. "Barristan also advised.
"That's why I don't want to recruit too many old vassals of the King's Landing. Not to mention loyalty, just the price of protecting their territory far exceeds the help they bring to me." Danny said helplessly.
However, Tidehead Island and Crab Island were different. Whether she came today or not, whether the young count pledged loyalty to her or not, King's Landing would treat Tidehead Island and Crab Island as her forces after she took Dragonstone Island.
This was something that Valerian's vassals knew, and so did the Count of Crab Island.
It was because he understood that the mark of Targaryen on him was too heavy that the Count of Crab Island made a prompt decision to flee. He was even prepared to raise the three-headed dragon flag before the Dragon Queen attacked.
"I hope that Count Sydega can put in more effort. I don't expect him to be of much help to me, as long as he can protect himself." Danny sighed.
Old Yimont's eyes flashed as he smiled and said, "Actually, you still have a force that you can rely on. They are absolutely loyal to Targaryen … In fact, they are only loyal to Targaryen.
Not only are they numerous, but they are also brave and skilled in battle. They won't be a burden to you. "
"Who?" Danny's interest was piqued.
"Southern barbarians," the old scholar said strangely.
