Danny stood up from the throne and looked down at the Green Saintess. "I am different from Aegon and Valleglia's Dragon King. I am not a conqueror. I am also different from Nymeria. I am not a refugee.
"I am a reformer. I am a revolutionary. I am the nightmare of evil slavery. I am the 'Misha' of all the oppressed slaves in the world.
"I am not targeting the Gith Tribe in Slaver's Bay. My enemy is the entire rotten slave world. I want to build a new world without slaves where everyone is free.
"I will not compromise. I am not afraid of fighting. When I decide to become the enemy of the world, there is nothing in this world that can make me feel afraid.
"I will come, I will see, I will burn everything of the old society. I do not need to conquer you, nor will I integrate with you.
I am a flood that will rush past you. Either you wash away the filth and join me, or you sink to the bottom of the river.
Do you understand?
This is your choice, not mine.
I grant you the choice! "
The Green Saintess' body trembled, her eyes filled with fear.
"This is the true Targaryen, the true Queen."
Tyrion felt an unprecedented shock. At this moment, he even wanted to kneel down to the Queen who looked down on everyone.
"Danny has surpassed Aegon. She has surpassed all the ancestors of the Targaryens."
In the crowd, Old Yimont was proud.
"I am not as good as her," Little Aegon said with a defeated expression.
"You are still young." Clinton retracted her admiring gaze from the Dragon Queen and comforted him gently.
"I am one year older than her."
"Uh …"
"To be able to serve such a queen is also an honor," Duckfield muttered.
"Misha, Misha, Misha!"
"Torrent, torrent, torrent!"
The new freedmen in the hall were stunned for a moment. Then, as if they had gone mad, they shouted themselves hoarse and hysterically.
Many people's eyes turned red and tears flowed down.
Danny smiled in relief.
"Pa!" She slapped the gavel. "Silence!"
"Wei ~ ~ ~ Wu ~ ~ ~ ~" The Unsullied began to strike with his staff.
"Your Excellency Green Saintess, other than my personal will, I can also explain the policies you proposed. After all, this is a court. As a judge, I have to abide by the laws of the Codex. I can't use my own will to sentence you. "
He picked up the wolfberry tea on the table and moistened his throat.
She began to blabber: "First, I advocate religious freedom. Astapor and Kaiyuan's Church of Divine Grace voluntarily carried out religious reforms, so the temple became the Church of the Seven Gods with the characteristics of Slave Bay.
For example, the Red Saintess was considered blasphemous in the doctrine of the Seven Gods.
The temples of Meereen insist on believing in the harpies. I didn't force you to change your faith, did I?
More importantly, everyone knew that the Harpy's claws were holding the slave shackles, which represented the slave master's enslavement of the people.
Could it be that you want the new freedmen to believe in the harpies who represent slavery?
You can ask the people in the city if I have ever forced them.
Force them to believe in the Seven Gods instead of the Harpy. "
"We are willing. We believe in the Maiden of Freedom. We believe in light and freedom!" Immediately, a new freedman said excitedly.
"We are not idiots. As the new freedmen, why would we believe in the Harpy? Before the temple was reformed into the Church of the Seven Gods, I never went there. "
The Green Saintess looked at the excited audience and sighed. The light in her eyes dimmed.
"Second, the Colosseum. The Colosseum needs gladiators. Gladiators are mostly slaves. I even abolished slavery. Why would I allow gladiators to exist?
Moreover, I didn't close the Colosseum. Don't you see that every evening, hundreds and thousands of people enter the Colosseum to do square dance? "
Uh, that's right. The Colosseum that occupied a large area in the city became a place for uncles, aunties, and young ladies to do square dance.
As for how the people of the other world learned to do square dance …
A certain queen firmly denied that she knew how to do square dance.
"Third, the Toka robe. Other than slave masters who don't need to work, who would wear that?
Now that the rotten vampire slave masters have been defeated, the working people have become masters!
It is difficult to even walk in that kind of clothing. Of course, I have to promote simpler clothing.
Fourth, eating habits. Dogs are human's friends. They can even prevent faceless people. I don't forbid eating them, but you can eat yours. You can't force me to eat, right?
Moreover, the food I promote is popular. Not only is it more nutritious, but it also saves on ingredients.
Fifth, standard Valleglia is the world's language. I really can't find a reason to refuse it.
Sixth, shaving … "
Speaking of this, the Dragon Queen's expression became strange. She wondered: "When did I say 'keep hair'?"
The Green Saintess looked at Klein.
"I, I said it." The Count of Broken Shackles raised his right hand and said embarrassedly: "Upright long hair is the same as the Toka robe. It is the symbol of a fallen slave master.
There are thousands of slave masters in the labor camp. They still have strange upright long hair. It is very inconvenient for them to work.
No matter what, they are not willing to shave their hair. In desperation, I can only use 'keep hair' to scare them. "
"Prisoners have no political power and can be forced to shave their hair. When they complete the labor camp and regain their freedom, they can continue to grow their hair. "Danny nodded.
"Continue … Seventh, don't use the Gith people. This … Isn't Klein a Gith? He is the first city lord under my command, the first count! Klein, do you think I am deliberately suppressing the Gith people? "
"No, absolutely not. You are like a second parent to me, changing my life." Butcher Count solemnly vowed.
"His bloodline is low." The Green Saintess said.
"No, at Slaver's Bay, he is the Gith with the highest bloodline. In the future, he will become the noblest Gith in the world." Danny shook her head.
"Your Majesty …" Klein received some kind of implicit promise. He was so moved and grateful that his eyes turned red.
"Eighth, the pyramid … Of course I will move them out. The families with the pyramid are all great slave masters. They all bear endless sins.
I only pursue the evil, and forgive their children and women. This is already merciful. "
Danny pointed at herself. "Take me as an example. The usurper took my father's kingdom, still killed my brother's wife and children, and wants to kill me."
"I am not dead." Little Aegon muttered unhappily.
At this moment, everyone was listening to the Dragon Queen's speech. Even Clinton did not pay attention to his muttering.
"Ninth, I am not merciful to the great nobles of Gith. Because they are all slave masters, none of them are innocent.
I will say it here today.
Unless they surrender to me in advance and contribute greatly to the liberation of the slaves.
Otherwise, not only the slave masters of Slaver's Bay, but all the great slave masters in the world will not be spared. "
"Finally, you think I am erasing Gith culture. Let me ask you, do the Gith people of this time have the same traditions and culture as the Gith people of Gith? "
The Green Saintess was silent. All the Gith people in the hall were silent.
The Dragon Queen smiled faintly. "After the last long night, three of the most powerful ancient civilizations appeared. Gith, Loina, and Valleglia.
But they all disappeared in the long river of history.
Times are changing, and no culture can be strong forever unless it is good enough to be accepted by everyone.
Obviously, the culture and traditions of Gith built on slavery are not only weak, but also decayed.
As a liberator of slaves, most of my people are new freedmen. How can we support your traditions? "
.....
The Green Saintess Grazidan pleaded guilty as soon as she appeared.
New freedmen, Gith freedmen, Gith jurors, the Gith people of Meereen who asked the Green Saintess of Astapor for help, and even the Dragon Queen. Everyone was surprised and puzzled.
After the trial ended that day, the Green Saintess of Astapor, Grazidan, took two Gith representatives from Meereen and walked into the basement of the Great Pyramid with a grim expression. They met the old Saintess of Meereen in the dungeon.
A 40-square-meter room with bookshelves, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a small reception room.
This was a high-level prison for high-level prisoners.
The old Saintess in her eighties was reading a thick book by the yellow light of the candle, the "New Seven Stars Bible" written by the Dragon Queen.
Grazidan's face seemed to be covered with a layer of ice, and her eyes were as cold as ice.
Especially after seeing the calm and indifferent look on the old Saintess's face, her body seemed to begin to emit a burning anger that was the opposite of ice.
"Why?" The Green Saintess asked the old Saintess of Meereen.
"Why what?" The old Saintess said.
"Why did you form that useless Son of the Harpy?" The Green Saintess asked.
"Why did you admit the crime directly and give up all your companions?" The old Meereen immediately asked.
The old Saintess stared into the eyes of the Green Saintess and said, "The Son of the Harpy is the last resistance of the Gith people, the last backbone of the Gith Empire.
The reason why I resisted the rule of the Dragon Queen has been explained clearly in the public trial hall.
I don't want the civilization of the Gith people to be destroyed.
I did what a Green Saintess and a religious leader should do. "
Although the Green Saintess did not avoid the green eyes of the old Saintess, the coldness on her face and the anger on her body dissipated. She said sadly and helplessly, "You also heard the answer given by the Queen in front of everyone."
"Well, what she said is very reasonable," the old Saintess nodded gently, and then shook her head firmly. There was deep wisdom in her green eyes.
"But so what? No matter how decadent and decaying the civilization is, it is still the mother civilization of the Gith people, the legacy of our ancestors for thousands of years.
Our civilization can die, because it is indeed not suitable for this era — the new era created by the Dragon Queen.
But we Gith people can't do without a little resistance, because we are Gith people with ancient Giskali blood! "
"Once, when the Great Lord died, slaves were buried with him. Now, a country, a race, a civilization is dying, and we can't do without sacrifices. My children and I are willing to be buried with the Gith civilization. "The old Saintess said in a flat voice.
The three Gith people were silent and sighed.
After a while, an old Saintess asked, "Since you have such a fearless spirit of sacrifice, why did you plead guilty directly without even a trial and betray the members of the entire organization?"
