At dawn, a thick fog covered the lagoon like a blanket. The visibility of the human eye was only a few hundred meters.
Before the people of Braavos could wake up from their nightmare last night, something even scarier happened. The third "meteorite" landed in front of the Titan, splashing water dozens of meters high …
Uh, it missed.
But the Devil Dragon's goal was clear. He wanted to destroy the Titan!
In terms of symbolism, the Titan was to the people of Braavos what the Statue of Liberty was to the Americans.
In terms of national security, the Titan guarded the only entrance to Braavos.
Without the Titan Fortress, its defense would be reduced by half. Also, the canyon was too narrow. If the Titan collapsed, the falling rocks would definitely block the entrance.
The fourth meteorite was not a "meteorite from the sky." The two dragons each carried four or five barrels of kerosene filled with linen and threw them on the Titan's head from a height of 500 meters.
This time, they did not miss the target. Half of the Titan's body burned.
The high temperature did not kill many guards. When the "meteorite" fell into the sea and splashed water, 99% of the guards in the Titan Fortress had evacuated. Only a small group of death squads remained on the Titan's shoulders, head, and mouth to control the Dragon-Slaying Crossbows.
The Titan's chest and head were mostly made of bronze and boulders. It would not be melted by the kerosene barrels. But the high temperature still changed the Titan's face.
From a tough guy who stood tall and roared angrily, he became a "down and out old man" with droopy eyelids, a crooked nose, a slanted mouth, and a wrinkled face.
Uh, bronze deformed under the high temperature.
At this time, the sky was bright. Countless foreign ships left the old clothes merchant's dock and rushed out of the canyon.
There were also countless foreign sea merchants who rushed into the Iron Treasury. They took their deposit certificates and exchanged them for gold. They also canceled their personal accounts in the Iron Treasury, planning to leave Braavos forever.
Then, small wooden boats with families moving appeared in the canals of Braavos …
On Spring Island, in an inconspicuous gray stone bungalow, a large round table was set up in the living room.
Old man Jugesnai's hands were trembling as he held the parchment. His sallow face was distorted.
Suddenly, he put down the parchment and pointed at the Sea King Copernicus who was sitting at the head of the table. He roared, "Take down this traitor who has disrupted the court and tarnished the honor and reputation of Braavos!"
"I …" Copernicus's face was as pale as a corpse.
Fatty Bersalo rubbed his face tiredly and said dejectedly, "Copernicus, it's your turn to sacrifice yourself for Braavos."
"Copernicus, we will remember you." The deputy councilors looked at Copernicus with sincerity and tears in their eyes, but Copernicus was so touched that … uh, his face was contorted, and his lungs were about to explode.
"Your Highness the Sea King, you have two sons, three daughters, a mother who is almost sixty years old, four brothers, one sister, and so many cousins that they can occupy an entire street." The square-faced middle-aged man said stiffly.
"Sigh …" Copernicus felt as if all the bones in his body had been sucked out. He slumped into the wooden chair, looking dejected. "Give me a bottle of Sweet Sleeping Flowers. I … I'm afraid of pain."
Sweet Sleeping Flower was a poison that could cause a painless death.
"Be brave, Your Majesty!" Seeing that Copernicus had compromised, Fatty Bersalo was invigorated and comforted him gently, "You are the main culprit, the source of all evil, and the starting point of all disasters and curses.
You must endure the curses of the people, the whipping of the Mother Of Dragons, the roasting of the Devil Dragon's Devil Flame … Only then can the people vent their anger, restore the world's trust in Braavos, and calm the anger of the Dragon Queen.
It will also allow Deathwing to complete his mission of cleansing the world of evil, and become the guardian of peace and justice once again. "
"I …" Copernicus's facial muscles were so twisted that his facial features were almost dislocated. "Bersalo, my mother of the Devil Dragon!"
.....
The people of Braavos raised their flag and surrendered to the Devil Dragon.
The Devil Dragon soared in the sky, and more than ten strong horses followed him, running on the ground, waving a huge peace flag in his hand — a colorful striped flag.
"Great Big Black, Black Dragon God, Your Excellency Deathwing. The rebels have been taken down, the filth has been cleansed, and justice has been served! Mercy, mercy! "The knight shouted as he ran.
Danny did not intend to pay attention to them. In the original plan, at least forty iron pillars and two hundred barrels of kerosene should be thrown out of the ship.
Now, it was not even one-tenth of it, how could she show them mercy?
But after a while, even the kind man, the fat Bersalo, joined in, holding a peace flag, shouting to the black dragon in the sky, "The rebels have been killed, please negotiate!"
She had to give face to the Black White House, otherwise, this conflict could really escalate into an all-out war with no bottom line.
She had to admit that Danny was very afraid of the Black White House.
Especially after confirming that the Faceless Ones of Braavos were not concentrated in the Black White House, her fear deepened a step.
No matter how much she practiced magic and martial arts, and how much Devil Flame she had, she could not hurt the invisible enemy.
But the enemy in the dark could see her every move, every friend.
Fortunately, the Black White House, like her, was in a very awkward situation: the Faceless Ones could not do anything to the Dragon Queen, but the Dragon Queen could threaten the foundation of the Black White House — Braavos.
Above an arch bridge spanning two islands, Big Black descended to a height of two hundred meters, hovering above the knights, and said with a rumbling voice, "What do you want to say? I am busy looking for the next punishment point. "
Bersalo and the others were shocked when they heard this, because the Mystic Dragon was flying along the Sweet Water Canal in the direction of the Purple Wind Island.
The Sweet Water Canal was the lifeline of the people of Braavos.
The canal was built of limestone and bricks, supported by a stepped bridge below, like a viaduct in a modern city, spanning over the city, providing the people of Braavos with clear, drinkable fresh water.
The fresh water came from the southern continent of Ursos, the spring lake in the mountains, across swamps and shoals, all the way to the mouth of the Braavos Canal dozens of kilometers away.
The whole of Braavos, from the beggars to the Sea King, from the dock workers to the guards of the iron vault, all depended on this canal to sustain their lives.
Because the seawater in the canal was not drinkable, and the water in the canal flowed from the swamps, drinking it directly would cause diseases, so it could not be drunk without boiling it.
The Mystic Dragon was going to attack the Sweet Water Canal?!
Moreover, the poor used buckets to draw water from the public fountain, while the rich built pipes directly to bring the water into their homes. In other words, the rich could find their homes by following the pipes …
Among them, the Purple Wind Island was the place where the pipes were densely packed. This … meant that the rich gathered in the Purple Wind Island!
Damn it!
How could the Mystic Dragon be so smart and so cunning? How could he let people live?
"Great BB, please have mercy, we have something to say!" Fatty Bersalo put the peace flag in his hand aside, his hands formed a trumpet around his sausage mouth, and shouted with all his might:
"Please pause and listen to me, the insane, unethical, insidious, greedy, bloodthirsty, without honor … Copernicus has been arrested by the Revolutionary Army this morning, and his puppet regime has been overthrown. Many of the Purple Shirt Army who started the rebellion have also been arrested and detained, waiting for you to exercise your authority to wash away the sins of the world and give them justice."
"Braavos is treacherous, I can no longer trust you." The Mystic Dragon shook his big head and said with a loud voice.
"I am willing to endorse the second negotiation and swear in the name of the God of Thousand Faces. The Black and White House and Braavos will live and die together, share honor and disgrace together, and will never allow Braavos to break its oath and lose its honor again. "
The kind voice was calm, but people could feel the determination in his words. The Faceless One and Braavos will live and die together, and to destroy Braavos is equivalent to waging a life-and-death war with the Black and White House.
"Good, the Faceless One's reputation is known all over the world. Since the Black and White House vouches for Braavos, I am willing to inform my mother of your request for the second negotiation. "
Blackie announced loudly so that the residents and merchants on the nearby islands could hear his voice.
"Ah, the nightmare is finally over." The people of Braavos, who had been frightened all night, wept with joy.
There were also foreign merchants who were worried. "I hope the Black and White House won't go back on their word, otherwise, Braavos really can't stay anymore …"
"The Black and White House, the nest of the Faceless One, don't you believe in their reputation? “
In today's world, even the Iron Treasury can't be trusted, a group of killers — "
"Shh — you want to die, how dare you speak ill of the Faceless One? If you want to say it, you should say it quietly, in front of so many people, don't be silly! "His companion dissuaded in a loud voice.
The people around them looked at them strangely …
.....
Blackie flew up into the sky and disappeared in the dense fog.
Under the guarantee of the School of Black and White, the news that the Braavosi officials were going to negotiate with the Dragon Queen for the second time quickly spread. The people of Braavosi had mixed feelings. There was anticipation, worry, fear, and resentment …
They didn't know whether to hate the Mystic Dragon, or the Dragon Queen, or the government that went back on their word.
Only the government made a decision for them: the coup leader Copernicus Arathorn and the traitor Cantona of the Purple Shirt Army were arrested, detained on the deck of the purple ship, and paraded along the canal.
Many heralds, on horseback or in boats, ran through the streets of Braavos, announcing to the people that the rebellion had been quelled and the puppet government had been overthrown.
It seemed to be hinting that everyone should hurry up and throw rotten eggs and rotten vegetables!
Anger, fear, hatred, disgust, and other negative emotions seemed to have found a channel to vent. The people flocked to the canal, and some even followed in boats, cursing and throwing rotten tomatoes along the way.
When the foreigners on the old clothes merchant's wharf heard the roar of the black dragon, they also had mixed feelings. Some of them were relieved: their ships and goods were saved.
Some of them were disappointed: Damn it, why are the people of Braavos so cowardly? Our alliance army of hundreds of thousands is marching towards Slave Bay, what are you afraid of? At worst, we can join the alliance army and fight the Mother Of Dragons to the end …
At least we can use the flesh and blood of Braavos to block the Mystic Dragon's "Meteor Fall" for us. It would be even better if we could keep one or two Mystic Dragons at bay. Especially that Deathwing, it's too scary.
The old clothes merchant's wharf, Laurel Wind's bridge.
"Father, are we leaving Braavos immediately?" The bald black girl Kou Jia asked her father.
"This …" Kuhulu, who was wearing a yellow and green feather cloak, was hesitant. "I believe in the Dragon Queen's reputation. As long as the negotiation is successful, the Mystic Dragon will definitely not wreak havoc in Braavos.
In fact, last night, Big Black … Deathwing had already shown mercy to the foreign merchants.
Otherwise, the old clothes merchant's wharf would have been burned to the ground. But now, I don't believe in the Braavos- "
"Roar —" A nightmarish black figure swept across the wharf.
"I am the Holy Light, I am the messenger of justice! The negotiation has been completed, I am no longer Deathwing. "The Holy Megalosaurus said.
