Chapter 268 Old Town Old Man

"You're clever." Dany sneered.

The old man in Oldtown bowed his head and knelt on the clean mahogany floor, and said honestly: "Dr. Marwyn told me that Mage Xiqui is a young lady who has mastered part of the Valyrian witchcraft heritage.

And the fireball that fell from the sky last night is very similar to the spell of the great wizard of Valyria to control the form of dragon flames. There are not many extraordinary people in Old Town.

Moreover, we waited at the pier for a long time this evening but did not wait for Master Xikui to arrive. This series of coincidences only shows one thing, Your Majesty, you are Xikui. "

"Don't call me Your Majesty, no noble will violate the guest's rights and assassinate his own king."

"This..." the old town old man looked around and said to his daughter, "Moroya, take the two guests downstairs for a cup of tea. I want to chat with His Majesty alone for a while."

As he said that, he still looked at Marvin and Laresa.

Marwyn frowned and glanced at Dani, seeing her nodding slightly, he took the assistant bachelor and left with "Mad Girl" Moroya.

"Your Majesty, I'm wronged!" The old man with the white beard wailed as soon as the three of Marvin entered the stairwell.

"Don't take me for an idiot. This is Old Town. Without the permission of the Hightower family, how could the Academy City find more than a hundred Dragon Shooting Crossbows and nearly five hundred elite soldiers?"

"Your Majesty, it's true that the Academy City is in Old Town, and it's true that I am the guardian of the Academy City, but the Academy City has developed to this day, just like the Church of the Seven Gods back then, and it is no longer under the control of the Hightower family."

"Okay, if you just want to talk about this, then we don't need to talk any further." Dany said impatiently.

There is no doubt that the Academy must be the mastermind, and the Hightower family never had the idea of ​​establishing a "real world", otherwise the old man of Old Town and the 'mad girl' Moroya would not be so obsessed with magic.

But the Hightower family must have participated in the assassination, and the degree of participation was still very deep. If Dani had burped at that time, the old man would probably hold a celebration banquet for all the doctors and Thorn Dragon generals in the academy city, but he would not do it for "Danni Your Majesty Ni" shed a tear.

However, if the thorn dragon fails, it will suffer the dragon's wrath.

The old man in Old Town was afraid of Dany's revenge - Dany promised that there would be one - so he said "Your Majesty", pleading and sophistry.

"Your Majesty, the Hightower family is willing to support you. As long as you give an order, I will immediately lead people to wash the school city." The old man gritted his teeth and said with a stern face.

Dany said indifferently: "Count, I have to say, you have miscalculated and underestimated me. I will not kill any of the bachelors and doctors who intend to murder me, and the school city will not be destroyed. They will be punished, but I will not destroy the largest and most formal academic organization in the world."

The old man also breathed a sigh of relief, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is merciful, Your Majesty is magnificent!"

Nothing to do with kindness!

The group of bachelors with firm beliefs are all stubborn, and they are not afraid of death at all for the sake of their ideals.

If Dany let go of her hands and feet last night and burned the academy city to nothing, the bachelors would only think that they sacrificed their lives for righteousness and sacrificed themselves for righteousness.Not only will you not feel pain and regret, but you can also say confidently: Look, this is why we pursue the "real world". Extraordinary power does not benefit the country and the people at all except to distort the mind.

True revenge should destroy the most cherished thing of the enemy.

For bachelors, it is the concept of "real world" that they have insisted on for hundreds of years, and they have worked hard, struggled, and been proud of it.

But it is not too easy to destroy this concept. In the face of the White Walkers, who dares to say that the dragon is a scourge, and magic is harmful to human beings?

Dany is looking forward to the scene when the White Walkers come to Old Town, and the world outlook, outlook on life, ideas, and beliefs of all the bachelors collapse.

Therefore, if she wants them to live, she must live until the long night falls.

But these words can't be said to others, let alone the old man in Old Town.

"Hehe, the Academy City is beneficial to human civilization, that's why I cherish it a little bit, but maybe it's time for your old town of Hightower to change owners." Dany sneered.

This is also true.

For the great nobles with a thousand years of experience, depriving their fiefdoms and destroying their families is the real punishment.

She's not a bad tempered person.

"Your Majesty, this assassination is real." The white-bearded old man became anxious, slammed the floor and shouted, "Your Majesty, let me just say it straight!

Xuecheng discovered your identity the afternoon before yesterday, and asked my son Baylor to send troops to strangle you, but Baylor refused them without hesitation.

But long before reporting to the towering tower, the bachelor had already released the raven, and fully notified Mrs. Olenna of High Court about this matter.

By yesterday morning, Dr. Theobald came to me with a letter from Mrs. Olenna, hoping that the old town guard would cooperate with the Academy to assassinate you. "

As if worried that Dany would not believe it, the old man took out a piece of origami from his sleeve while talking, with Highgarden's rose seal on it.

Just one line: Gaoting does not participate in this matter, and does not restrict the actions of the school city.

Very simple sentence.

"Have you seen it clearly?" The old man held up the letter paper, as if he was afraid that she would not see it.

"You can know the elegant meaning by listening to the string song, the meaning in Mrs. Olenna's words couldn't be more obvious." The old man said helplessly.

"Why did the Queen of Thorns want to assassinate me? I'm afraid Queen Margaery is not worth enough?" Dany asked puzzled.

"Of course it's not enough. The value of ten queens can't compare to the risk of offending the Dragon Queen, but the Iron Throne is worth it!"

"Duke Tyrell wants the Iron Throne?"

"No, it's Madame Olenna."

"She is an old lady who is about to have a great-grandson, how can she have such big ambitions?" Dany doubted.

"She certainly didn't have this idea before, but after the War of the Four Kings, Highgarden became the most powerful force in the Seven Kingdoms. Now that Robert Baratheon can sit on the Iron Throne, the Lannister bastard can sit on the Iron Throne." Iron Throne, why not Tyrell?"

"Hehe, you must be guessing." Dany still didn't believe it.

"Your Majesty, in the Game of Thrones, everyone wants to be a winner, and must be a winner! Lady Olenna is not an ambitious person. At the beginning, the reason why she agreed to Duke Tywin's request for an alliance was only because she wanted to be a winner in four years. Standing on the side of the victor in the chaos of the king.

Of course, it would be better to let the family rise to a higher level by the way.

But the game of power will never stop. After the quartet's rebellion was wiped out, Lannister regarded Highgarden as an opponent in a new round of the game. Lady Olenna just didn't want to lose. "

"Tell me more about it. Apart from Cersei being crazy and doing some stupid things, Lannister doesn't seem to have targeted Highgarden, right?" Dany said with a frown.

"Alas, Duke Tywin has already taken action against High Court. First, cut off the marriage between Vilas (the heir of High Court and Garland's eldest brother) and Sansa Stark; then, sealed Brightwater City to Garland Does His Majesty Lan know the special features of the Florens family in Liangshui City?"

"To sow discord between Hightower, Tully and Highgarden?"

"It's not just me and Tully."

Seeing that the old man was talking and supporting his back, Dany felt sorry for her, so she said, "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty," the old man got up happily and explained more attentively. "Most of the bloodlines of the great nobles in the Reach can be traced back to the legendary heroes of the ancestors—"Green Hand" Gars, including Florent of Brightwater City."

Dany thought about it.

Just like Stark has a great ancestor, Brandon the "Builder".

In the Age of Heroes, there is also a legendary figure in the River Bend, "Green Hand" Garth, also known as Green Garth - it is said that his hair and skin are green.

Gals is especially good at breeding. In addition to cultivating high-quality food for the farmland, he can also help women sow seeds.It is said that as long as he touches it, infertile women can become pregnant, and old women who have lost menstruation can give birth again.

With his blessing, the mother conceived twins or even triplets, and the little girl turned into a girl with menstruation under his smile.

Wherever Garth went, local nobles and common people were willing to sacrifice their chaste daughters to him.

In the coming year, their crops will have a good harvest, the fruit trees will be full of fruit, and the girls raped by Garth will also conceive strong sons or beautiful daughters.

Uh, no wonder it's called Green Gars

——To put it another way, it is precisely because of knowing the story of Gals that Dani came up with the idea of ​​hybrid rice.Obviously, ninety-nine percent of the Green Gars was a wizard. She even suspected that the green-haired, green-skinned Gars was a hybrid of the Children of the Forest and the First Men. Druid?

In short, Garth is a hero who is particularly able to "farm the land". He has many heirs. The eldest son, Garth Gardener, founded the royal family of the Reach—similar to Stark in the North. The second son and daughter are the ancestors of many nobles in the Reach.

Tyrell's ancestor was an Andal adventurer who served the Gardener's family during the Andal invasion, and later became the hereditary lord of Highgarden.

In the following thousands of years, Tyrell also had the blood of Garth in the generational marriage with the nobles of Highgarden, but compared with the nobles of the Riverbend that have been handed down from the ancestors to the present, their identity and background are always a little bit worse .

300 years ago, Aegon wiped out all the male members of the gardener family in the battle of "Raging Fire". Tyrell, as the head of the High Court, directly opened the gate of his master and surrendered to the conqueror.

Aegon reciprocated, making the steward his master and King of the Reach.

This incident itself made the other river bend nobles secretly hate, but Aegon had a dragon, so he had to hold back his dissatisfaction.

Fortunately, the Tyrell family was smart enough to marry Targaryen's thick dragon legs while marrying the major "green hand" blood families. After 300 years, the rule of the Reach was finally stabilized.

But they have taken the Gardener's House of Highgarden and Lords of the Reach, and now they have deprived Florent of his title and lands

What would the other "green hand" families think?

It has to be said that Tywin played a trick of second chess.

The Brightwater City of the Florens family is one of the most fertile territories in the river bend. The bait was too fragrant. Highgarden Tyrell knew it was a poisonous apple, but he couldn't help swallowing it.

Maybe Tyrell thought that he could slowly digest this big piece of fat with time and force deterrence like 300 years ago.

The old man in Old Town continued: "Your Majesty, Lando Tarly and Paxter Redwyne are known as the 'Two Heroes of the River Bend', and they are the two core pillars for High Court to maintain the right to speak in King's Landing.

As for the Duke of Mace, well, that 'inflatable fish', my son-in-law, is an idiot.

Lady Olenna was of the Redwyne family, Lord Paxter's aunt and mother-in-law.

In other words, Redwyne and Tyrell have a close relationship and cannot be separated.

Kotali

Tully is Florent's in-law, and Tyrell has no relationship other than a monarch and minister.

Duke Tywin seized on this flaw.

In addition to the Brightwater City incident, he also intentionally split the Reach's army into two. The Duke of Mace led Highgarden south to Storm's End, but failed to achieve an inch. Earl Tully led his fief's troops north to the Three Rivers Valley to clean up the bandits and stabilize the law and order. , made great achievements in battle.

However, Mace is still a little jealous, so small-minded."

At the end, the long-bearded old man sighed with complex expression: "It's fortunate that Tywin died early, otherwise I don't know how he would toss the Reach Land!"

Thinking of how Lando led the troops to rescue Little Rose this afternoon, Dany frowned and asked, "Will Earl Tarly be provoked?"

"No, he is a real soldier, upright, wise, loyal, and brave." The old man shook his head and said affirmatively, "If Tywin is still alive and continues to use means to split the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, maybe Earl Tarly will Was drawn over by the Iron Throne, but at this time Lannister

Lannister has two lions, a dog, a pig and a tiger. Tywin Lannister is a fierce old lion, and Tyrion is an inexperienced young lion.

Tywin's younger brother, Sir Kevan, is the most loyal old dog of the Lannister family, while Cersei is a pig, and James is as fierce as a tiger but not resourceful.

So, Your Majesty, have you seen clearly?

Old lions and young lions kill each other, stupid pigs can only make trouble, fierce tigers have broken their claws, and Lannister only has an old stability dog ​​left.

For Mrs. Olenna, this is an excellent opportunity, God will be blamed for it! "
