"There are barbarians in the south too?" Danny asked in surprise.
Barristan suddenly came to a realization and slapped his thigh, exclaiming, "If not for the old scholar's reminder, I would have forgotten.
The clans on Crab Claw Peninsula are only loyal to Targaryen. They even take pride in being the model subjects of the Megalosaurus. "
"Crab Claw Peninsula?" Danny got up from the soft couch and went to the map of the Seven Kingdoms hanging on the wall opposite the fireplace. Her finger pointed at Nymph, and then traced the horn-like peninsula to the east.
"It's strange. The land between Blackwater Bay and the Trident River is empty. There are no signs of castles, roads, towns, or villages."
"There are no castles, only clans and tribes," Barristan said.
Old Yimont also got up from the soft fur chair and came to Danny's side. He pointed at the map and said, "The peninsula is barren and barren, full of swamps and pine forests. But every dark valley has its lord.
Most of them are descendants of the ancestors. Even the Andals were unable to conquer Crab Claw Peninsula.
Twilight Valley, Nymph, and even Cerdega of Crab Island returned in defeat there.
The lords and subjects of the peninsula do not believe and are not willing to receive any outsiders except Targaryen.
Three hundred years ago, with the goal of recruiting soldiers, Visania rode the Megalosaurus to Crab Claw Peninsula and visited the clans of Crab Island one by one.
The lords saw the majesty of the Megalosaurus and were shocked by the tragic end of Helon the Blackheart. They were also moved by Queen Visania's charisma, and they all knelt down and submitted to her.
The queen also returned the favor and took them in as Targaryen's direct vassals.
Both sides swore an oath and established a relationship of monarch and vassal. It has never changed.
Although Crab Claw Peninsula did not pay a single copper to the Iron Throne in taxes, they never refused Targaryen's summons. "
"In the battle of the Trident River, the great clans of the peninsula also fought with Prince Regar to the end. Less than a tenth of the lords returned to Crab Claw Peninsula alive." Barristan's eyes were blurred as he sighed.
"Although the barbarians' civilization is backward, there are very few people who can compare to them in terms of loyalty and spirit of brotherhood." Danny sighed.
This could also be considered another version of chivalry. Every dog slaughtering generation.
"Treat the clansmen as reserve forces, and recruit soldiers when we really need them. Yes, Garth will transport 3,000,000 gold royals worth of food to Dragonstone Island. We'll send a batch over then. "Danny made her decision.
.....
The hunchbacked Bachelor Newtown asked the weavers in the castle to make a hundred true dragon flags overnight. Early the next morning, Sir Dink led his men to hang the Targaryen three-headed dragon flag at the Hightide docks and the top of the castle.
The appearance of the Black Dragon Flag with a red background shocked the people of High Tide City and the harbor merchants.
"Targaryen has returned!" The elderly residents of Tide Head Island dreamed of the previous dynasty and rushed to tell everyone they met about the return of the True Dragon in fear and excitement.
"Quick, go to Dragonstone Island and tell Sir Lucian about the appearance of the three-headed dragon flag on Tidehead Island." A merchant of the King's Descent Sea concealed the anxiety in his eyes and whispered to the helmsman to sail away from the port.
"Sigh, a great storm is coming, and Queen Cersei is still locked up in the Great Cathedral of Baylor. King Tommen doesn't seem to be able to do anything!" In the harbor hotel, a customer who was drinking whispered.
"I'm afraid it's going to be another Rebellion of the Four Kings. Winter is coming, can't those great nobles just stop?" His companion cursed in a low voice.
"Why would the people involved in the game of power care about winter? Which winter can freeze the king to death and starve the nobles to death? It's not like it's a long night … "
"The Seven Hells, have you counted how many kings there have been in the Seven Kingdoms in the past two years?"
"This … Robert, the Young Wolf Master, Renly, Stannis, Joffrey, Tommen, Balon, Danny, Liz … I heard that the pirates of Tiemin Island took the old path again and chose a pirate king called You Lun?"
"There are only Seven Kingdoms in the Westeros, and there are already nine kings." A merchant on the other side of the narrow sea laughed strangely.
"I heard that this Targaryen has True Dragons. How many of them?"
"Yes, you haven't been to the trading cities, so you don't know about the Anti-Dragon Mother Alliance. Danny Liz Targaryen has four dragons."
"Hiss, how terrifying! Aegon only has three dragons. "
"I wonder if she'll block the passage and stop the ships transporting grain to King's Landing?" A grain merchant suddenly said.
"Yes, the king and the great nobles are playing the game of Iron Throne, and we're going to make a profit from this!
The Great Sparrow took a loan of a few million gold royals from the Iron Treasury and is buying grain from the Free Cities like crazy. The price of grain has increased by more than three times.
As long as it's transported to King's Landing, it'll be shiny gold royals. This is a rare opportunity! "
Soon, the merchants changed the topic, from the shock of the True Dragon's reappearance to the worry of the sea route being blocked by the war.
"Look, red-shelled crabs!" Suddenly, a brown-haired middle-aged mercenary stood by the window and pointed at the harbor and exclaimed.
Everyone gathered around and saw a huge 50-meter-long galleon ship with two decks leading three second-class (30-meter-long) seagoing ships and more than ten paddling longboats slowly approaching the dock.
Every ship had two flags hanging side by side, the red crab shield flag on a white background and the black three-headed dragon flag on a red background.
Standing on the third floor of the tavern and looking into the distance, they could vaguely see a tall silver-armored old man with white hair standing on the top deck of the flagship.
"It's actually Count Satyga. Wasn't he captured and locked up in King's Landing?" The plump merchant next to them asked doubtfully.
"The news of the True Dragon has already spread. He's not stupid, why would he stay in King's Landing and be suspected by Lannister? Regardless of whether he's truly loyal to the Iron Throne, as long as Targaryen appears, the Lion will no longer trust him. It's better to escape and become the True Dragon's trusted aide.
Not only Valerian and Satyga, but also dozens of nobles in the Royal Territory … After all, they've been loyal to Targaryen for hundreds of years. Their ancestors only became nobles when they followed Aegon to Blackwater Bay. "A mercenary knight from the Royal Territory said with a complicated expression.
.....
When the news of Count Adrian bringing a fleet to Hightide's harbor reached the Floating Wood Castle, Danny was on the observatory, facing the sea and meditating.
She was listening to the sound of the wind.
It turned out that she had wronged Barristan the last time, he did not interrupt her epiphany. That magical version of Unity of Heaven and Man was not just once. As long as she calmed down, she could enter the deepest part of her consciousness in the wind and hear the sound of the wind again.
Since Unity of Heaven and Man was a normal state, it naturally did not count as an epiphany.
At this moment, Danny's forehead was shining with a faint green light, her consciousness drifting around with the sea breeze. She did not know where she was, nor did she know where she was.
She seemed to have turned into the wind, blowing on the surface of the sea, bringing up waves, and then being washed away on the reef without warning. Then, the scene changed. She came to the plains, gently stroking the petals and wheat, the leaves singing to her.
At this moment, she seemed to have merged with heaven and earth, with a sense of transparency.
Suddenly, she felt that her body was not coordinated. She felt that the second soul's circular Green Prophet Meditation Technique was very awkward, and the nine-colored whirlpool was very ugly.
Her mind was in harmony with heaven and earth, but the Green Prophet Meditation Technique and the Grand Wizard Meditation Technique were somewhat incompatible. To exaggerate, it was like building a modern villa in a garden in China, it was very awkward.
She wanted to demolish the villa and rebuild an oriental classical pavilion that could merge with the garden and become a part of the garden.
Then, the circular shape of the Green Prophet Meditation Technique shattered into thousands of single runes.
Then, some of the runes began to be annihilated, some of the runes changed form, and suddenly, new runes that Danny had never seen before appeared.
All the runes surrounded her like petals, merging with her into the wind, on the sea surface, on the reef, on the island, in the forest, in the wheat field, in the city, in …
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, Count Setiga is here." A hateful and determined old face replaced everything in the world, magnifying in front of Danny.
I'm not angry, the old knight is innocent, don't be angry, don't be angry …
With a wooden face, Danny chanted the Clear Heart Mantra a few hundred times in her heart, then slowly said, "So fast? It's not even noon yet! "
"Maybe he received the letter last night and set off at dawn. It's only a few hours' sea journey from Crab Island to Tide Island," said Barristan.
"He went up the floating wooden castle? Just bring him here to see me. "
"The sailors saw the count's fleet on the sentry tower, they should have just arrived at the pier. Scholar Yimont wants you to go down and welcome him, this is the etiquette between a ruler and a subject. "
"Alright." Danny nodded. "You guys go to the pier first, I'll ride the dragon and catch up later."
After the white knight left, she sighed and entered the space of consciousness, observing the circular second soul that had reformed. It seemed like there was something more, but it also seemed like there was no change at all.
"Kui Xi is right, I should settle down for a few years, it's best if I can put aside my affairs and focus on cultivation …" Then, she smiled bitterly and shook her head, there was no time for her to develop, winter was coming.
She began to summon Blackie and Little White.
"Hiss —" Dahei, who was lying on the cliff boulder basking in the sun, jumped up and circled half a circle to the front of the Star Observation Platform. Like a sea swallow, he lowered his body sideways and flew close to the wall.
Then, Danny sprinted and jumped down from the 30-meter tall tower. She closed her eyes and felt the sound of the wind beside her in the form of a dragon spirit. At that moment, she, Blackie, and the world seemed to have become an organic whole under the adhesion of the wind.
Like a normal person walking up a flight of stairs, Danny leaped lightly onto the back of the black dragon that was speeding past. She stood on Blackie, opened her arms, and closed her eyes to feel the pulse of the wind.
"This is wonderful, this is true cultivation. Heaven and man as one, the law of nature. "
"Queen Danny Rize …"
Suddenly, Danny, who was immersed in the sea breeze, heard her name, the voice was intermittent and vague. Hallucination?
"… Eris, Regar, you two have to perform well, our family is really going to have a good time. Her Majesty the Queen is in the prime of her youth, and she is the only Targaryen left. Coincidentally, Valerian also only left a child.
The Queen should marry, and the Kingdom should have an heir. We, Setiga, have the noble bloodline of Valleglia, and have been friends with Targaryen for thousands of years, there is no one more … "
Danny's heart rippled, the voice gradually weakened and finally disappeared, she also broke away from the temporary magical state.
God, I heard Count Setiga's voice, this, this is the Green Prophet's ability to listen to the earth?
Danny was overjoyed.
In the future, could she be like Bran and Blinden Rivertext, able to see through all the secrets of the world?
With such beautiful expectations, the Dragon Queen did not care about the old crab's little calculations.
