Chapter 397 The Awakened Soul of Assassin (Part 1)
By the mouths of countless spectators fleeing the arena, Word spread that the three dragons were visiting Queenscrown rather than attacking. After confirming safety, the residents who were scared to death at first became curious about the Queen who came riding on the dragon.

And at this point, it's another storm.

To the all-single Night's Watch, the mountain clan, and the new land-grants, Yara Grejoy, Ms. Melisandre, and the two little ladies who came to visit by Winterfell are all pretty women who are rarely seen...but Compared with the former, Daenerys · Targaryen's appearance that seems to be different in "painting style" also widens the eyes of both men and women, and the identity of "Dragonrider" adds countless points to her charm. The crowd of residents to watch and follow put a lot of pressure on the security work. Fortunately, the arena is not far from the inner castle. Igor spent a lot of effort and time under the escort of a whole team of soldiers from the logistics department. , finally reached the fortress with difficulty.

＊＊＊

There are so many people who donated land, but Varys told her that it was only 30,000 or 40,000, is it possible that they all gathered in Queenscrown? Daenerys, who had not been crowded for a long time, felt dizzy in his head, and stood on the grounds of Queenscrown's inner castle for half a minute before regaining his senses.

"How come there are so many people... Forget it, where is the library?"

"Your Majesty, your identity is sensitive, I don't recommend you read it in the library ." Igor simply gave the guards a few orders and then turned to explain to her, "Please come with me, wait a moment at the place I have arranged for you, and I will fetch the book for you."

"Where?" It wouldn't be a dungeon, right? Daenerys gave Igor a wary look, but he knew that being alone at the moment, being cautious and suspicious had little meaning. Just keep following along.

"Queen Your Majesty, do you know why Queenscrown is called Queenscrown?"

I don't know.

Because he was born abroad, and spent his entire childhood escaping the waves of assassins sent by Robert Baratheon, Daenerys can't be as knowledgeable as Myrcella who grew up in the Red Keep. Surrounded by, immersed in a variety of legends and historical stories about the Seven Kingdoms all day, know Westeros like the back of your hand.

Fortunately, the answer is not difficult to guess: Queenscrown, the Queen's Crown, this hint is too obvious.

Daenerys twitched his lips: "A certain queen came here and donated her crown to Night's Watch?"

"About, but far more than that." Igor couldn't help laughing Shaking his head, "Your ancestor 'Arbitrator' Jaehaerys · Targaryen I and his wife Alysanne the Good · Queen Targaryen once came to Wall to assist Night's Watch in defense during a wildling attack. Among them, Queen Alysanne not only helped Night's Watch Legion Build a new fort 'Deep Lake' to replace the Nightfort that Night's Watch has been unable to sustain, and also set aside new land from the North to give us - we're standing on this land now called the 'New Land Grant' If it weren't for her acts of justice, Queenscrown would still be an obscure North small village to this day. Night's Watch Legion renamed the Snow Sect Fort where she lived during her visit to Queensgate, and she spent the night in the new land grant to this unnamed small village, It was named Queenscrown."

"So where are you taking me?" Daenerys felt a little reassured at the respect for Queen Alysanne in Igor's tone, but he was just not answering the question. But it made her a little more suspicious.

"This is the pocket lake in the middle of Queenscrown, around which the whole town is built. The tower on the island in the middle of the lake is where Queen Alysanne slept the night before the villagers painted the walls on top of it It's golden, and the circle is like a crown, so it's called Queenscrown, not Queen's Village."

While chatting, Igor took Daenerys across the plank bridge and into the tower.

This is a watchtower left by villagers a hundred years ago to prevent wildling. After simple reinforcement and repair by the first batch of "Logistics Reclamation Team", it was used as the "golden cage" for the initial placement of Pyromancer... They take shelter and wildfire deployments while preventing them from running around. However, as Queenscrown developed little by little and living standards rose rapidly, the Alchemists no longer complained or wanted to go back to the South, and experimentation quickly turned into production. As for the subsequent gunpowder ratio experiments and research on the improvement of explosive bombs, they simply moved out of here and moved to the formal laboratory building in the inner castle or even the industrial area in the outer city.

All kinds of personnel were evacuated, and the equipment was also removed, and the place was slowly left unused. In the end, only some tables, chairs, cabinets and empty beds were left, turning it into a spare building.

 …

"Good story, thank you for your patience in telling me, Lord Commander." Daenerys' face was still cold, but softer than before, "but Forgive me to speak bluntly, I'm thinking now how to free the Seven Kingdoms that my ancestors ruled for generations from the stalkers, not visiting the bedroom of some ancestor who only stayed for one night."

"You misunderstood." Igor shook his head, "I arranged you here because there is only one road to Lake Heart Island, this tower is the only one on the island, and the tower has only one entrance. I only need to arrange a little Guards, you can make sure you're safe from anyone in Queenscrown." Damn, at this point, Igor realizes that easy-to-guard places are often good cells. If Daenerys was put under house arrest like Pyromancer, and the tower turned into a golden house... He broke free from unrealistic fantasies in time: "You must be a little thirsty on your long journey with the dragon, and the kitchen will soon be ready for you. You brought food and hot soup...does your dragon need to be fed?"

"No, it was full before coming." Daenerys walked around the table in the house and felt the chair I found that there was no dust on it, and it was obviously being taken care of on a regular basis, "I hope I can see that book before I see dinner, and I hope Lord Commander can fulfill my little wish."

"If you wish, please sit down and go back."

＊＊＊

Igor left the tower and instructed the guard at the entrance to light the stove in the tower for warmth, and let The kitchen brought food and drink, and the place was strictly guarded and other orders.

Then, he hurried back to the core area of the fort where he lived... to meet the other gang of guests who were being entertained by oneself.

What should an avid reader ride on a dragon to catch up with but he hasn't written a single word of himself? Looking for solutions on the spot, very urgent!

This is a joke, of course he didn't go to these people to discuss and seek a way to deal with Daenerys... The moment he went to Dragonstone to present "The Monarch (Part 1)" to the Queen, Igor was already in his stomach. In the middle of the brewing, if she comes to ask about the content of the second half of the book, how oneself will perform, it can be said that she has a good idea.

However, although the belly draft has already been typed, it is still necessary to confirm it before the scene to avoid forgetting the words. What's more important than this is to stabilize the two groups of people who came from King's Landing and Queenscrown, who are loyal to Stannis and House Stark respectively, so that they believe that Daenerys is here to help deal with Others, not to collude with Night's Watch. rebellion.

The residential area is surrounded by a pile, so it is convenient to find people.

"Igor!" Melisandre stopped him with a serious look, and whispered in a low voice, "Time is running out, now that she has arrived, I will try my best to keep her. It takes a day to delay, When the final battle breaks out, the three dragons will be a powerful weapon against the ghoul army!"

"You won't chat with her?"

"What? Advisor to Stannis!"

"I'll find a way to talk about it later." Igor nodded, quickly ending the conversation.

He didn't want to talk nonsense with Red Woman now, because he was comfortable with the witch: Although Melisandre was Stannis' nominal advisor, her real identity was the high priest of the Red God, she was the It is absolutely impossible to deal with another person - a suspected Child of Prophecy, who may also play an important role in the final battle.

The key now is to reassure Beric Dondarrion and his party and a few Winterfell soldiers not to send the wrong message to Stannis or the North Guardian!
"Rest assured, Lord Commander, we will not be a whistleblower, nor will we treat you as an enemy and leave the land grant just because you received the Targaryen Queen." Blackhaven count's attitude was far more enlightened than expected, He even guided Igor, the new Land Grantor, as an Old Blood, "but be careful...if you don't respond properly to Duke of Winterfell's questioning, will North survive the final battle? Full support is not necessarily. Let me give you a personal advice: no matter who asks, don't explain too much, as long as you insist on the two points of 'Night's Watch is neutral' and 'guest right is inviolable', any No one can publicly criticize or criticize you for your respect for tradition."

"Is that girl really Daenerys Targaryen?" Thoros, who had obviously just been drinking, had a completely different brain circuit, and he stared. Eyes, "If every woman in House Targaryen looks like this, then... that bastard 'God-blessed' Baelor deserves to be chopped up ten-thousand times by a thousand blades!"

Who is Baelor? Igor at first was also dazed by the alcoholic priest's words, and after thinking for a few seconds, he realized that he was talking about the king who built the King's Landing Great Sept of Baelor, Baelor Targaryen I. The fanatical devout king habitually fasted because worldly food was "sinful", and abstained because intercourse was "filthy"—to avoid being harassed by the three younger sisters who, by family law, were supposed to be his wives. Seduce, keep oneself and their virginity. They were imprisoned in the "virgin house" in the Red Keep, and they were forbidden to have contact with men.

Igor was a bit hilarious when I first heard the story, thinking this guy was mental disorder, but now I think about it: If House Targaryen's women have that strange attraction, then it's true make sense!
"Lord Igor...Look, I'm the champion of the arrow technique tournament, right?" Divine archer Angai asked with a bit of embarrassment, "The Queen interrupted my game, do you think she would be interested? Meet me... apologise or console me or something?"

What the hell!

Igor rolled the eyes, and calmed down after being interrupted like this: Jiang is still old and spicy, Blackhaven count's suggestion is right - oneself doesn't need to rush to appease anyone or explain anything to anyone, oneself As the owner of this place, as long as you act like a master and publicly announce that guests are prohibited from killing each other under the eaves of oneself, guest right is the best shield for oneself!
"My lord!" Myrcella also hurried over, blushing.

"What?" Igor bowed his head and agreed softly, thinking that Little Princess had some great ideas to offer, and was looking forward to it.

"Arya...Arya she just returned to the room, took her 'Needle' and went out the door, I don't know where to go!"
