It was Danny's hope to let Blackie take over and replace the Seven Gods as the faith of the Church of the Seven Gods.
The hope was not slim.
The Seven Gods were just seven pieces of wood. Even if Blackie "offended his superiors," there was no real power to punish him.
Secondly, there was also the Church of the Seven Gods in Slaver's Bay.
It was just that the time was too short. The quality and number of believers were far inferior to the Westeros, and there was almost no accumulation of faith.
If Archbishop Danny found a way to let Blackie replace the Seven Gods, she could immediately raise Blackie's position in the Church of the Seven Gods in Slaver's Bay.
Finally, Blackie was not alone. A dragon was fighting, and he had a very powerful mother.
If Mother Dragon wanted, she could easily take down the Church of the Seven Gods in the Westeros.
This was different from the Red God Church. Even the powerful Red Robed Witch could not control the Red God Church.
Because Lahlo was real, and the real boss of the church was always Lahlo.
As for the Great Sparrow …
When there was no conflict of interest, he was a good friend of the Dragon Queen, and could help her torment Cersei and the others.
If there was a conflict between the two of them, the Dragon Queen would not hesitate to kill him. She would not feel the slightest bit of psychological burden.
In the end, the Dragon Queen was never a true friend of the Great Sparrow. She was not even a believer of the Seven Gods.
Developing the Church of the Seven Gods and taking up the position of archbishop were purely political considerations.
She needed the church to serve her Targaryen dynasty.
So, when it came to her core interest — Blackie's future path to godhood — she could be ruthless to the Great Sparrow.
If Danny declared that she did not want the Iron Throne and only wanted to enter the Great Cathedral of Baylor.
Even Lannister would sincerely applaud her.
The believers of the Seven Gods would not have any objections. They would even like the "pious and merciful" pope of the Dragon King more.
If she controlled the Church of the Seven Gods, and there were no real Seven Gods above her, then she could do whatever she wanted.
The crux of the problem was that she did not know how to do it.
How could she let her good son Blackie get the "persona" (clergy) of the Seven Gods?
Could she just announce to people that Blackie was the reincarnation of the Seven Gods? Just like Jesus to God, the son of the seven gods?
This was too ridiculous. Even Danny herself couldn't believe it. How could she make the believers sincerely accept it?
On this day, Whitey brought two people from the west, the big crab Eris Setiga and the fourth white knight Garth Hyder.
The Dragon Queen held an exceptionally grand banquet for them. Everyone with status in Astapor was invited.
Even Kai Yuan's fat eunuch Beworth was dragged over by Blackie.
In front of everyone, Danny gave a steel sword named "Wave Cutter" to Garth.
Then Big Bear put on the white robe for him, and Bevois helped the new brother put on the white glazed armor.
The initiation ceremony was officially completed.
Big Crab did not receive the Tile Steel Sword. He was only given the title of Knight by the Queen and the position of Commander-in-Chief of the First Fleet.
This could be considered a high position and authority.
But when he saw the three white knights standing side by side behind the Queen, he actually had the urge to join them. At least he could always be by the Queen's side!
Little Aegon held a cup of orange wine and walked to Big Crab in high spirits. He introduced himself, "Sir Setiga, I am Aegon, Aegon Targaryen, Thunder Lizard."
Tyrion had diarrhea every day, but the gray spots on his legs were disappearing day by day. It was obvious that a mature antidote for the gray scale disease would be developed soon. Aegon saw hope again.
Tonight, his clothes were especially luxurious.
He wore a grass-green velvet jacket, a wide dragon head belt inlaid with amethyst scales around his waist, shiny slim leather pants, soft deerskin high boots, and a three-headed dragon hairband forged in gold on his forehead, which complemented his silver hair.
He was almost the most eye-catching young man at the banquet.
"Greetings, Your Highness." Big Crab looked at the young man in front of him suspiciously.
He indeed had the Targaryen's trademark silver hair and purple eyes, and his temperament was not bad.
However, everyone knew that Aegon had been thrown to death by Tywin long ago.
Was this kid really not a liar?
I heard that he was rebellious and wanted to marry my aunt?
Even with the endorsements of Clinton, Ashara, and the Dragon Queen, Big Crab still felt that Little Aegon was worthy of suspicion.
In fact, "Eight-clawed Spiders are not to be trusted" had almost become a proverb among the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
Aegon gently swirled the light yellow brandy in his cup and said meaningfully, "My aunt Danny Rize promised that she would help me fight for the Iron Throne."
"I know. She also told me that she would leave the opportunity to kill the King of Strange Ghosts to you. “
Big Crab's attitude was polite, but he did not give a special response.
This was not what Aegon expected.
He felt that the meaning of his words was already very clear: Setiga should be loyal to the Targaryen on the Iron Throne, and he was the first heir to the Iron Throne.
Should the eldest son of the count not show his loyalty to him?
He could not help but frown.
"My aunt has five dragons, and she also promised to let me tame Blackie. Not to mention, she will soon be able to forge thousands of Tile Swords. With dragons and Tile Swords, killing the King of Strange Ghosts will not be difficult. "
Aegon twisted his neck that was tightly gripped by his collar and emphasized, "I will be the king of the Andals, Loynar, and the First Folk. Ser, I need the loyalty of Setiga and Crab Island. "
Tame the black dragon?
Big Crab looked at Aegon with a strange gaze.
"My father, brother, and I have already pledged our loyalty to the Targaryens."
"I said, Setiga should be loyal to the Targaryen on the Iron Throne," Aegon whispered.
"What do you want, for Setiga's fleet to escort you to the Great Wall?"
"Why would I go to the Great Wall?" Aegon was puzzled.
"If you do not kill the King of Strange Ghosts, how will you ascend to the Iron Throne?" Big Crab retorted.
"I …" Aegon choked and said somewhat angrily, "The oath of 'the one who ends the long night shall be king' was made by my aunt, it has nothing to do with me."
"You want the queen to break the oath? I'm afraid that's impossible. "
Suddenly, Big Crab looked at Aegon with a gaze that was three parts suspicion turned into four parts contempt.
Aegon looked around in annoyance. There were indeed many people looking over, but they all politely kept a distance to give them space to talk.
"Ser, I'll be frank. My aunt owns Slave Bay, but I'm not stupid. I know that she is young and will have children in the future. Slave Bay will not belong to me.
Because of the oath, she can't even help me.
So, I need strength to fight for the Iron Throne myself.
Besides, my right of inheritance is before Danny Rize's, and she has also acknowledged this. Why don't the Targaryen forces of the Seven Kingdoms pledge their loyalty to me? Help me restore my kingdom? "
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, I can't help you with this." Big Crab rejected him directly.
"Why?"
"I'm now the commander-in-chief of Slave Bay's first fleet. I've already pledged my loyalty to the queen."
Aegon glared at Big Crab and left unwillingly.
After the White Knight's coronation ceremony was completed, Aegon pulled the excited Gray Iron Garth to the side.
"Your Highness, why are you looking for me?"
Garth Hyder was still immersed in the great glory of being crowned a White Knight by the queen.
He had the happiness of walking the path of his granduncle, White Bull Geralt, and was very excited.
"Ser Garth, one day I will return to the Westeros. Can the Hyder family provide me with some help?" Aegon asked directly.
"No." The excitement on Garth's face gradually disappeared, and he said directly, "Your Highness, you should understand that even Targaryens are divided into factions.
It's obvious that Hyder already belongs to the queen's faction.
Instead of looking for me, a White Knight who has left the Hyder family, why don't you ask Her Majesty the queen? Her will is the direction of the Hyder family's actions.
She asked us to help you. Even if you don't come to me, we will do our best and sacrifice our lives. "
"You …" Aegon's face was red with anger.
Garth should not have said it so clearly, but his identity had changed. He had changed from the second son of the Hyder family to a White Knight who was only loyal to the queen.
He had to be loyal to the members of the royal family. He could not lie, and he could not be perfunctory like Big Crab.
After Garth left, the little demon staggered to Aegon who was sulking alone and said in a low voice, "What are you thinking about? Now you're eating your aunt's food, drinking her wine, wearing her beautiful clothes, and secretly stealing from her? "
The little demon's cheeks were sunken, and his sallow skin was almost sticking to his skull. His eye sockets were deep and large, like two dim candles in his skull.
His body was also very thin. The yellow mandarin jacket that had been perfectly ironed a few days ago was now like a sack on a wooden stake.
Tyrion did not want to come out and join the party. He had not recovered from his illness and only wanted to rest in bed.
But the Dragon Queen wanted him to come out and be an example to prove that the antidote for the Greyscale Disease had been developed, so that the people of the city could be completely at ease.
So Tyrion wore a yellow mandarin jacket and short boxers. He could roll up his trousers and let everyone see his thighs that were gradually disappearing.
Yes, he had already displayed his thighs to many guests like an exhibit.
"I'm not stealing from her. She promised to support me in my ascension to the Iron Throne. Hyder and Setiga will have to pledge their loyalty to me sooner or later.
Moreover, I know my aunt's character. She's amiable and magnanimous. She's strict with me but not harsh.
If she was a suspicious ruler like my grandfather, I promise that I'll be more obedient than a quail right now. "Aegon said.
"Perhaps." Tyrion shrugged. "But she also said that no matter who ascends the Iron Throne, Dragonstone Island will be her fief."
Aegon nodded. "Of course. The Stormlands, Hejian, and the Northern Territory no longer have a master. Highting, Tyrell, and Lannister in the Western Territory may fall, or even two.
In the future, the Seven Kingdoms will have a lot of empty territories. As long as her descendants swear eternal loyalty to me, not to mention Dragonstone Island, even one or two territories won't be much. "
"You're … generous!" Tyrion stared at him and mocked.
Aegon raised his head and looked down at the dwarf proudly. "Little Devil, if you can show enough talent, perhaps I can also generously give Casterly Rock City to you."
"Sorry, I'm now a subject of the Dragon Queen, although I don't like the position of 'Wildfire General'." Tyrion shook his head and refused.
Seeing that Aegon was about to get angry, he immediately added, "Little Prince, you don't understand what I mean. A vassal's vassal is not a king's vassal. Even if the Dragon Queen's descendants swear loyalty to you, we're still her subjects. "
"I know, but I can't do anything about it! I need my own power. I can't always freeload at my aunt's house. "Aegon suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth.
"Your aunt is too strong. At most, she can be your partner. She can't be your subordinate. Her vassals are naturally not your subordinates.
But you still have a relative. He has power, but he's not strong. Especially if you have an auntie who can suppress the world.
Using your aunt's power to intimidate and subdue him. "Tyrion shrugged and said in a relaxed tone.
"Who is it?" Aegon asked anxiously.
At this moment, an Unsullied quickly walked into the garden and knelt down on one knee in front of Danny. "Your Majesty, there's a ship that didn't listen to advice and broke into the dock. The leader calls himself Sir Quentin Martell."
"Uh, he came before I even said anything." Tyrion was stunned.
