Dragonstone Island received the news of the tragedy in Casterly Rock City half a day later than Varys.
After the incident, Little Bird immediately sent a letter to the spymaster. Casterly Rock City lost its backbone, and after another half a day of trouble, they invited Sir West from Lannister Harbor — Tywin's distant cousin, the captain of the Lannister Navy that was being rebuilt.
Well, like the Dragon Queen, the Lion Navy began to fish offshore.
The first thing Sir West did was to write a letter to Dragonstone Island, not to the Dragon Queen, but to the imp.
Now Casterly Rock City had fallen to the point where even the illegitimate child of the imp was more "noble" than everyone else.
The direct descendants and the slightly closer branches were all poisoned to death.
Although it was half a day late, the content of the letter was more comprehensive than the one Little Bird sent to Varys.
It was a poison that the maesters had never seen before, and it was in the summer red wine that Waldfred brought from Riverrun.
The onset time was half an hour after drinking, there was no warning before the onset, and there was no cure after the onset. In an instant, the eyeballs were filled with blood, and they died of madness.
Casterly Rock City not only lost 874 people, but also two or three hundred guards died from the frenzied attacks of the poisoned patients.
At that time, the main hall of Casterly Rock City was like a purgatory on earth. The Lannister who drank with red eyes and dark red blood vessels appeared on the surface of their bodies, attacked and tore at each other with swords, forks, chairs, wine bottles, and even teeth and nails, and then attacked and tore at the guards and servants who came to pull them.
"It should be mixed with snake lizard poison. Warm-blooded creatures will go crazy and lose their minds after being poisoned. Rats infected with snake lizard poison will even bite lions, "Dr. Marwin said from the bull's neck.
Scholar Pylos said, "In Dr. Wargrave's works, there are many mentions of the Faceless's poisoning methods.
The spices added with the blood of the stone lizard are particularly impressive.
When those spices are smeared on meat and roasted, it will emit an extremely tempting fragrance that no one can resist. "
Well, because of the "otherworldly great writer", the whole world knew the methods of the Faceless.
They were all real, and the Faceless really liked to use poison. The first target that Erya killed was poison. She smeared the poison on a silver coin and put the coin in the hands of the moneylender who liked to bite the money with his mouth.
In the kindly man's room, Arya learned how to make hundreds of poisons.
"It seems that it really is Faceless. Didn't the letter say so?" The old crab waved the letter in his hand. "Old Wade attended the banquet and immediately invited everyone to toast Casterly Rock.
Everyone at the banquet raised their glasses and gave a toast, and they all drank the wine in their glasses.
However, when he collected the corpses, only Old Wade was nowhere to be seen. When we checked the kitchen afterwards, we found what we suspected to be Wade Frey's bones in the pot of meat soup. "
"Holy Mother of Mercy, those who attended the banquet all drank Wade's soup!" The black girl Larissa, who was standing on the first stone step below the throne, said in horror.
"Hiss, so ruthless!" Everyone gasped.
"King's Landing has brown soup every day. What's the big deal?" The old crab shook his head disapprovingly. "That's not the point. The point is that Old Wade is clearly dead, but he appeared at the banquet and invited everyone to toast. This is Faceless!"
"Yes, it was most likely done by Faceless." Marvin and the others nodded in agreement.
"Does Casterly Rock not have Faceless Hounds?" Bronn asked curiously.
"That … might not be the case. Not everyone is wary of Faceless. Some nobles haven't dealt with Faceless for hundreds of years." Marvin hesitated.
Then he said, "The point is, who hired Faceless? How much gold royals should be paid for killing so many people? "
Bronn stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I heard that Winterfell recently made a fortune by selling grain. Not only did they write off the loan from the Iron Treasury, but they also made millions of gold royals. Stark has the ability to hire Faceless, and only they have such a deep grudge against Wade Frey. "
In fact, there was no need for them to speculate. When Danny received the news of the massacre in Casterly Rock, she had already guessed the identity of the culprit, his methods, and his motive.
Who else could it be other than Erya?
However, even Dani found it hard to calm down at this moment.
Too ruthless.
While marveling at Erya's ruthlessness, Danny couldn't help but envy her.
She envied Erya's freedom. She could do whatever she wanted, as long as her thoughts were clear.
She was now the Queen, the Empress, the Seven Gods, and the Savior of the World. Her many identities emphasized one persona: a kind, just, and kind person.
Without a doubt, this was political correctness, but also a great restraint.
When Wade Freyr had refused to follow her instructions and commit suicide to atone for his sins, Dani had also wanted to ride her dragon and fly to Riverrun City, bathe the city in her dragon flames, and then stand on top of the city walls, with the smoke rising into the sky and the wailing of the undead as the background, she would throw her head back and laugh maniacally … Fine, even if she were to indulge herself, this style was still too much for Dani.
"Your Majesty?" Old Crab called softly.
"What's the matter?" Danny was awakened from her thoughts.
"What should we do about Casterly Rock?" Old Crab asked.
"What does it have to do with us? This is Lannister's family matter, and the letter was written to Tyrion. Let him handle it! "Danny said casually.
"Tyrion is not on Dragonstone Island."
"Where did he go? Taz Island or Sun Halberd City? "Danny asked.
"Prince Zeon received a letter from the Church. He went to the Cathedral two nights ago to pick up Duke Tywin's coffin. He hasn't returned yet." Scholar Pylos said.
"King's Landing is at war. Could he be trapped in King's Landing?" Bronn asked curiously.
Old Crab shook his head. "Our people have been monitoring the situation at King's Landing. There are only street battles in the city, and no dragon battles.
Tyrion is riding a pterosaur. No matter which side attacks him, he won't stay still. "
At this point, the old Earl couldn't help but look worried. He looked at the Queen and asked, "Your Majesty, the battle at King's Landing is more tragic than expected.
It's not a battle between high-level supernatural forces like we thought, but a battle between ordinary soldiers.
The fall of King's Landing's gates was just the beginning. You Lun deliberately gave up on the city walls with fixed targets for kerosene bombs, and distributed his forces in the streets.
The Iron Throne's army and Stannis' men are fighting over every street, every alley, and every building.
The soldiers are in a mess, and there are also civilians mixed in. The two-headed demon dragon and pterosaur can't interfere.
In terms of total forces, Stannis is inferior to You Lun. I'm afraid this battle won't be over for a few days. "
"I know the situation at King's Landing." Danny said calmly.
"What I mean is, do you want to interfere? If we lose too many soldiers, what will happen to King's Landing when the other ghosts arrive? "Old Crab asked worriedly.
"Who do you want me to help?" Danny asked.
"No one. King's Landing belongs to you." Old Crab said excitedly.
Danny facepalmed and said helplessly, "I thought you pitied the people of King's Landing in the chaos of war, but it seems that you don't think they're suffering enough."
"It's better to get it over with —"
"Enough." Danny raised her hand to stop him and said seriously, "I'll say it again. The biggest enemy in the long night is the Frost God!
If we can't deal with the Frost God, the hundred cities of King's Landing are no different from sand castles on the beach. The waves will come and take everything away.
The Frost God is a true god. Even Lahlo was beaten like a dog by him, and I'm just a mortal.
It's already very difficult for a mortal to deal with a true god. I can't waste my energy and time on a useless iron chair.
To be more direct, unless the Frost God descends, I won't leave Dragonstone Island.
No matter what happens in the Seven Kingdoms, no matter which city the Other Ghosts invade, don't disturb me. That's the business of the Dawn Warriors and the Ghost Resistance Committee.
Mortal matters are mortal matters. I'm only responsible for the Frost God.
If the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms ask, tell them the same. Do you understand? "
"Understood."
That night, Dragon Queen slapped herself in the face and left Dragonstone Island in a hurry.
Because Casterly Rock City had fallen.
.....
Hellen Castle was another proof that the Song of Ice and Fire world had a bug-level architecture.
It was made up of five huge towers that were more than a hundred meters tall. The towers were connected by suspended stone bridges. Standing at the top of the towers and looking at the catapults outside the city, they were about the size of insects.
The castle was three times the size of Winterfell. The Divine Forest alone was 20 acres.
Hellen Castle's kitchen was as big as Winterfell's main hall. The main hall of Hellen Castle was called the "Hundred Furnace Hall", which meant that there were a hundred fireplaces in the hall.
Of course, the Hundred Furnace Hall was bragging. The real number of fireplaces was only one-third of the total, 35.
Just 35 fireplaces was enough to imagine how grand the hall of Hellen Castle was.
In fact, the biggest castle in the Seven Kingdoms was Hellen Castle.
Hellen Castle was not only big, but its walls were also thick and tall. Its gate was the same size as Stark's main castle. Standing outside the gate and looking up at the inner city, one could only see the top of the five towers.
The walls were too tall and blocked the view of the observers.
Because of this, even though Hellen Castle was badly damaged, it was still chosen by Dragon Queen to be the garrison of the Dawn Warriors after the battle of Winterfell.
The city was sturdy, and it was the closest and most convenient way to reinforce Hejian.
"We should immediately reinforce Casterly Rock City!" Hellen Castle's acting castellan, Sir Beaufort Hatis, said.
Shadow Binder Tam shook his head and said, "I've already sent a message to Dragon Queen. She's on the way and asked us to stay put. Later, she'll bring us to Casterly Rock."
Yes, not only did the Dragon Queen leave hundreds of sets of Tile Steel Armor here, even the leader of the Royal Mage Corps was stationed here.
"Why don't we leave first and let the Queen come later?" Sir Beaufort said.
"Hellen Castle received a messenger crow from Casterly Rock City. Sir, do you understand what this means?" White Knight Garth said with a gloomy face.
"It means that Casterly Rock City is in danger and urgently needs our help," Sir Beaufort said anxiously.
"No, it means that it doesn't matter if we go or not." Garth sighed and shook his head, "It's more than a thousand kilometers from Casterly Rock City to Hellen Castle. When we received the messenger crow, it had already been two days since the attack.
More importantly, this time it wasn't just a normal attack.
There was a mass poisoning in Casterly Rock City, and the death toll was more than a thousand people. In an instant, they all turned into ghouls and exploded from the inside … "
"The Queen is here!" Tam suddenly pointed at the dim light and shouted.
"So fast? It hasn't even been an hour — "
"Hum —" Under everyone's stunned gaze, a red light suddenly appeared and expanded into a light red mirror with a diameter of forty meters.
"Whoosh!" A black shadow came out of the mirror.
"Hiss …" The black dragon roared, its wings flapping at high speed, stirring up the dark clouds in the sky.
"Ahhh …" Beaufort and the knights on the city gate screamed in horror. It was the Dragon Queen who jumped and fell towards them at high speed.
"It's over, the Dragon Queen fell off the Megalosaurus!" Someone howled.
But after a while, they suddenly realized a problem: the Dragon Queen's speed of descent was not increasing, but slowing down?
It wasn't an illusion. When she was thirty meters above the city wall, she was already like a willow leaf, floating and flying horizontally.
"Seven Gods, this, this Dragon Queen can fly?" Sir Beaufort said in disbelief.
"Ah, Leila?!"
The Dragon Queen took off her helmet and looked around. Just as she was about to say something, Sir Beaufort lost his composure and screamed.
Danny frowned and looked over. She saw the lanky old knight with tears in his eyes, full of reminiscence and love, looking at her.
