Dragon Queen coldly said: "I will send a message to Count Haithar. All scholars who leave the Westeros, regardless of whether they are apprentices, scholars, or doctors, will be beheaded and hung in public.
They must stay in the old town, no, not only the old town, the scholars must go to the front line. They are not required to guard the Seven Kingdoms, but at least they must protect the River Bend that has nurtured the City of Knowledge for thousands of years.
Wherever there is a crisis, go to that castle.
Take off the necklace, put on the iron armor, the sheepskin scroll in the left hand, the dragon tooth blade in the right.
Climb the city wall in battle, go to school in leisure. Kill the living dead with the blade, educate the young scholars.
Kill the ghosts while cultivating the gifted children in the castle into wildfire priests.
Yes, know how to make wildfire and have a firm belief in the Seven Gods. "
"What do you think?" She glanced at the River Bend Dukes on both sides of the long table.
"Good!"
"Very good."
"Let's do it."
Coming back to their senses, the Dukes kept applauding.
First of all, Dragon Queen's proposal was beneficial to them.
It was always good to have more than one scholar as cannon fodder. Moreover, by cultivating magic apprentices in their own castle, they would ultimately be guarding their castle instead of sending them to the City of Knowledge. They did not know who would benefit.
Secondly, like Dragon Queen, they also felt that the City of Knowledge's performance in this long night was too dereliction of duty, too bad.
Of course, they themselves did a bad job, if there was a scholar to take the blame, they would be very happy.
Finally, to the Dragon Queen's proposal, it was better to applaud than to oppose it. They were all counting on the Queen's Blade Storm to save their lives!
"Your Majesty, it is not a problem to let the scholars defend the city. In the past two years, in order to guard against the night attacks of the bounty hunters and the assassination missions of the Faceless, the scholars have trained several military skills such as swordsmanship, military formations, and reconnaissance to a very high level.
In terms of duels, most knights are not their opponents; in terms of leading troops to war, the City of Knowledge can also choose thirty or forty qualified generals; in terms of assassination and espionage, I estimate that except for the Faceless, there is no organization stronger than the City of Knowledge.
Even, the City of Knowledge can immediately become the Seven Kingdoms' number one assassin group, or an intelligence agency.
But even if the scholars have thousands of abilities and thousands of methods, they themselves do not know magic, how can they teach magic apprentices? "Count Matus frowned.
"Count Rowan, you've forgotten the Scholar's strongest skill!" Danny sighed.
"What skill?" Old Ma asked in surprise.
"Turn the false into the real!"
Everyone was at a loss.
"Maesters can turn true history into false stories, and turn their own lies into true history that everyone believes.
They turned real magic into deception, and turned a ridiculous lie into the highest ideal that the scholars of the City of Knowledge have been pursuing for hundreds of years. "
"Since that's the case, let's let them continue to turn the false into the real, and use their fake identities to deceive a group of real mage apprentices.
Anyway, the scholars didn't know magic before, and they liked to add a steel chain to their necklace that represented 'Doctor of Magic'. "
The corners of the nobles' mouths twitched, but they could not refute.
"Perhaps we can follow the script and only teach the basic Fire Wizards and Moon Singers meditation techniques, and teach them the techniques to concoct wildfire." Count Matus rubbed his nose and said helplessly.
.....
After coming out of Margaery's bedroom, the Dragon Queen broke the silence and asked with a smile, "Do you think she's pretending to be crazy, or is she really crazy?"
Little Rose Margaery Tyrell had always been alive, but her father Mace and brother Loras were tortured to death by Cersei.
Yes, they were murdered by Cabourn as a test subject for black magic.
When they were in King's Landing, Cersei often tortured her, and the nun who guarded the Maiden House had also reported to the church that Little Rose had some mental problems.
After Cersei was imprisoned, Margaery's life became better, and she was treated the same as Cersei in the Empress Dowager's Tower.
After that, You Lun escaped and prepared to continue being the king in Highcourt, so he brought Margaery with him.
When they passed by Bumpy Settlement, You Lun even found a monk in the town to help him and Little Rose host the wedding.
On the night of the wedding, he and his subordinate Tiemin ransacked the prosperous but weak trading town.
Tiemin used blood and fire as the wedding celebration to celebrate the marriage of Yolun Of Silla and Queen Margaery.
Because of this atrocity, the King's Landing knew of Margaery's existence. Bumpy Settlement was at the source of the Mander River, only 300 kilometers away from King's Landing.
Erlu valued Riverbend very much, and long ago appointed Sir Yasir Florent as the Duke of Highcourt.
At first, Yasir sent his barbarian wife to the church to be Sister Silence, and was prepared to marry Randall Tarly's daughter.
With Randall's current status, and Florent being one of the top nobles of the "Green Hand" faction, Yasir could minimize the resistance of the Riverbend's vassals.
But Randall Tarly was a very traditional and old-fashioned noble. He couldn't even accept Dragon Queen's identity as a "foreign woman", let alone a pagan king.
Randall refused very straightforwardly, and even swore in public that he would rather send his daughter to the church to be Sister Silence, than marry her to a Red God disciple.
When Randall Tarly "shaved his head and became a monk", Yasir looked down on his niece-in-law. Because Randall, who had joined the Warrior's Son, had given up secular power and was no longer the leader of the Riverbend's vassals.
When the tragedy of Bumpy Settlement reached King's Landing, Yasir woke up as if from a dream: "Queen Chu who loves to drink moon tea" Margaery was not dead yet!
He immediately expressed his willingness to take over, even if it was the fifth hand.
Well, Margaery had married Renly (dead), Joffrey (dead), Tommen (dead), and You Lun (dying). Now it was Yasir's turn to be the fifth hand.
Almost a week had passed since the Dragon Queen entered the Riverbend. A week was enough for King's Landing to figure out Margaery's current location.
So, the Onion Knight sent a letter to the Long Table on behalf of Erlu, asking about Dragon Queen's arrangements for Margaery, and tactfully hinted: If you have a plan, just pretend I didn't say anything. If you don't care about Margaery's fate, can you give her to Yasir as a wife?
After receiving the letter from King's Landing, Danny officially visited Margaery for the first time.
She was going to ask Margaery for her opinion, accompanied by several River Bend barons.
Then, she saw a withered woman whose soul was as stable as an old dog, whose image, performance, and language were extremely crazy.
When Danny used Bladestorm, she could accurately control each willow leaf sword, although most of the time she didn't deliberately waste her mental power to control them.
Last time, when the tornado swept You Lun and his sled into the storm, the three neatly placed boxes at the back of the sled opened, revealing two human swine and a well-dressed woman. Danny was surprised for a moment, then saved them and turned You Lun into a human swine.
She had seen Margaery at that time, but Little Rose was weak. After spinning twice in the wind, she fainted.
Today was the second time they met.
Margaery had turned from a plump and juicy red apple in summer to a pale and shriveled pickled radish strip.
Pale white replaced rosy, rough replaced smooth, plump became shriveled, and lustrous became withered and dim.
When the beautiful and valiant Knight Queen appeared in front of her, Margaery grinned foolishly, then squatted on the bed and took a dump with a strong smell. While taking a dump, she used her hands to dig.
Danny wasn't sure if Shitty Rose would put the poop on her face or into her mouth if she stood there for a while longer.
If that happened, she would admire her.
However, she really couldn't bear the smell. She didn't even greet her, nor did she pretend to be concerned. She just turned around and left.
The barons who came to visit Shitty Rose didn't stay long either. They were all sent out by the smell.
"Poor Margaery. She was tortured to the point of insanity by You Lun and Cersei!" Lady Bethany wiped her tears.
She was Matus' wife. After Golden Tree City fell, she and the three children followed Matus to the Longtable Hall.
Other than being a countess, she was also Margaery's cousin.
Her surname was Redwyne, and she was Old Rose's niece.
Miltania had been rotated by Tiemin and died when the valley road collapsed. Now, Bethany was also the mistress of Longtable Castle. Among the vassals, Count Matus had the highest status.
Lady Bethany had been taking care of Margaery for the past few days.
Outside the house, she rambled on and told the Dragon Queen about Margaery's crazy behavior and words to explain her niece's previous rude behavior.
But just as they left Margaery's courtyard, Danny smiled and asked a question that made the vassals of River Bend shudder. "Do you think Margaery is faking her insanity, or is she really crazy?"
"She should be crazy."
"She even pooped. She must be crazy."
"Sigh, Miss Margaery was the number one golden rose of River Bend back then!"
"You Lun and Cersei are crazy."
Everyone chimed in one after another. Some were regretful, while others were resentful. Basically, Margaery's insanity was set in stone.
"Perhaps, it can be cured," Count Matus said hesitantly.
The other barons glanced at him with unfriendly gazes. Whether she was really crazy or not, she had to be crazy now.
If she was really crazy, then it was still okay. If she was faking it, then what was she trying to do by lying to the Dragon Queen?
Was she trying to take back Highcourt and restore the glory of House Tyrell?
But they really didn't want to risk their lives for Tyrell now!
Matus also glared back at them. Whether Margaery was crazy or not had nothing to do with her. It was up to the Dragon Queen to decide.
The reason the vassals of River Bend were so cautious about Margaery was because the ownership of Highcourt was still uncertain.
The situation now was very clear. Tiemin wanted the throne of River Bend King, Erlu wanted it, and some of the "Green Hand" nobles in River Bend were also itching to make a move. Even Tyrion and Sansa had openly tried to take it.
Then, did the Dragon Queen want it?
After all, the dwarf was her illegitimate brother. How much could he represent her?
Danny, who was walking at the front, pretended not to notice the exchange of glances between the barons behind her. She only said calmly, "Tell me, should we agree to Sir Yasir's request?"
"Who is Yasir? He is only the second son of House Florent, "a knight immediately objected.
"The point is, that old thing Yasir has become a follower of the Red God. How can we tolerate a heretic becoming king?"
"Yasir even helped Stannis burn his own brother to death. That is a crime of kinslaying!"
"Lady Margaery is already very pitiful. Don't let her be tortured by the heretics!"
Almost everyone objected to handing Margaery over.
"Other than dealing with the Other Ghosts, I don't care about the power changes in River Bend." Danny first expressed her attitude, then reminded them, "But don't forget one thing. House Tyrell is fully responsible for the Purple Wedding.
In theory, Margaery no longer has the right to inherit Highcourt. "
