While Volantis received a large amount of employment money, the Dragon Cult gradually penetrated into the upper echelon of Meereen and the slave class.The urban population has died too much. To restore the glory of the past, we can only wait for the next generation to grow up. It will take at least ten years.

Or spend a lot of money to buy slaves in large quantities. It also takes a long time to capture and transport, and it also needs to be trained. According to the calculations of Werther and the nobles of Volantis, it only takes five years to completely master the slaves. forest control.

The Volantenes would not spend energy to develop Meereen. After peace, their territory would be sparsely populated, with large tracts of land waiting to be reclaimed.They only regard this place as a military fortress and buffer zone against the eastern city-states, and it will become a purely military city in the future.

~~~

The martial law in King's Landing City is carried out in accordance with the law, and the law and order in the city must be well controlled before the king's funeral and the new king's succession ceremony.

Law and order were rectified by Robert and Werther in the early years. A large number of criminals went to Tyrosh and the Great Wall to fill the army, and the economy was more developed. Now the law and order in the city is much better.At present, this kind of martial law is only aimed at wanted criminals, vampires, and those who want to commit crimes. Nobles and civilians can freely enter and leave King's Landing City as usual.

The family of Werther's newly recruited apprentice, Rosamund Lannister, was going to sail to Tylosi with the mages of the magic school, but they stopped when encountering this big event. She and her parents were arranged to live in the school temporarily.funeral

After Renly, the Duke of Storm's End, arrived in King's Landing a week ago, Renly took Rosamund and her parents to live in his own house. Werther's apprentice was his own, no matter what Lannister he was.

Although Rosamund's father's surname is Lannister, there are too many Lannisters, and the title of knight was mixed up during the siege of Tyrosh. He worked in the army at the port to earn a little salary, and his life was just Live a little better than ordinary civilians.

In the luxurious private house, the three members of the Renly family, seven nobles in armor and the Rosamund family were having lunch.

Looking at the food on the long table that was usually available at banquets, the Rosamund family was a little at a loss. After eating a little, her parents bowed to Renly and the others, and then went back to the room first.

"Brennie, you will bring some fresh food to their room later." Margaery whispered with a smile.

"Yes, ma'am!"

Among Renly's seven personal guards, Brienne is responsible for Margaery's safety. Only she and Margaery's brother Loras, who are both women, can enter without Renly's order. Margaery's bedroom.funeral

Margaery looked at the cautious little girl who didn't know where to put her hands, and lifted Lionel who was full from the chair, and invited her to sit beside her.

As soon as the little boy Lionel touched the ground, Sa Yazi ran out of the hall to see the two dragons in the yard.Robert Royce on the side didn't care about eating, and he was still worried that there were other guards in the yard. He grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, and quickly followed out with a flick of the red cloak behind him.

Renly's original four-member guard became seven, and the seven wore capes of different colors, which he called the Rainbow Guard, and each of the seven commanded a 10-member squad.

Except for the guards in the castle, ordinary nobles would only put on a show and lead dozens of people on tour on important days, and usually only a dozen or so people would accompany them.Now wherever he goes, there are 70 personal guards. If it weren't for a rich man like Renly, he really couldn't afford it. The house next to this mansion was also bought by Renly and used as a military camp.

Sir Loras is still the captain of the bodyguard, wearing a white cloak. While managing the bodyguard, he also serves as Renly's daily affairs officer in order to facilitate access to Renly's bedroom.Sir Brenney put on a blue cloak, and as a woman, she was the only one who could personally protect Margaery.

Sir Robert Royce chose a red cloak because his armor was the color of copper.Ser Parmen Clanne was in a similar situation, with purple plum trim on his armor and a purple cloak of choice.The two of them took turns caring for Renly's young son, Lionel.

The first four people finished the fat difference, and the three people Renly recruited later could only do their old drudgery and feed the dragon.funeral

Ser Bryce Cullen of Nightsong in the Stormlands now wears an orange cloak.His parents, brothers, and all his sisters died in the winter of 289, leaving him the only living member of his family.The closest blood relationship to him is an illegitimate half-brother named Roland Storm.

Nightsong City is in the south of the Stormlands, close to Dorne, and it happens to be stuck in the Prince's Pass, the main road entering and leaving Dorne by land.Dorne was "unified" by Werther, and Nightsong City lost its value as a front-line military fortress. Renly persuaded him to manage it well, and he could make a fortune by collecting accommodation fees for caravans. He chose to follow Renly as his bodyguard.

Ser Emmon Cue of the Reach wore a yellow cloak, his armor was carved with sunflowers, and he was the only one of the seven to wield a tomahawk.Cue is a knight family under the Hightower family, and Loras recommended him to Renly in accordance with the family's arrangement.

The last one to wear a green cloak is named Good Morrigan, the third brother of Lister Morrigan, Earl of Crow's Nest City.He is the oldest among the seven, and he often claims to be a singer. He is good at playing musical instruments, but everyone wants to beat him up after hearing his singing.

Renly also has two dragons now, and apart from Loras, the other six feel very honored as Renly's personal guards.The seven are not the Kingsguard who vowed to give up their family, so how do the seven of them divide the glory?Therefore, the seven people also competed for rankings in private, and the pro-guards naturally had the final say by force.

Loras came from the duke's family and was Renly's brother-in-law. With the help of Renly's recovery of magic, he was able to carry out desperate training and defeated the six of them by martial arts. He was the most secure captain.

The second position was taken by Brienne, the new woman who was looked down upon by the three of them. The main reason was that Brienne was too tall and mighty, stronger than a man, and she had to accept it after being beaten up.funeral

The purple-clothed guard Luoba and the red-clothed guard Parmen were lucky enough to participate in the cruel training of Loras, competing for the third and fourth positions, and the newcomers were still at the bottom.

The dining table at the Duke's house was large, and that at Renly's house was even larger. Margaery sat beside several other unmarried women of the Tyrell family.

Margaery pinched the little girl's fair face: "Is it menstruating?"

Rosa Meng blushed and shook her head in embarrassment.

"Hehe, Margaery, which young man do you want to introduce to her?"

"Isn't it because she's still young, I'll just think about it."

A bunch of women were joking with little girls.funeral

A bodyguard came in, stood beside Renly and said, "My lord, a large number of sailing ships have been found overseas in Blackwater Bay, including merchant ships and warships."

"Oh, did you recognize the flag?" Renly wiped his mouth with a handkerchief. "The Royal Fleet didn't confront them and put them into Blackwater Bay, so they belonged to us."

"My lord, the guards at the port said they didn't know which families belonged to the flags on the ship." The guards were a little embarrassed.

Renly asked, "What color are the hulls and sails? How many?"

"They are all white. The number is estimated to be two hundred."

Renly turned his head to look at Loras: "This time the guards expand their recruitment, not only to train them in martial arts, but also to let them learn more knowledge. White ships, white sails and unfamiliar family emblems, even my brother's fleet can't be recognized !"

"Some of them are illiterate, they have made great progress now, you go down first." Loras smiled and told the guards to leave first.funeral

"Is Werther here?" Margaery also leaned over to talk.

Renly: "He probably will be a few days later. The new aristocrats of the Stepstone Islands will come to King's Landing for the first time. I will go to Stannis later and ask him to arrange a banquet."

"Then I'll take Rosamund to get to know them." Rosamund's status is special, and the nobles from the Reach will arrive in a few days. Margery has nothing to do and just wants to establish a relationship with her in advance.

In the afternoon after the meal, the four Tyrell women, Margaery, Yalan, Elo, and Maggie, brought Rosamund to the expanded Blackwater Port, and Brienne took ten personal guards to stand Form a small circle on the side to separate the passing pedestrians from Margaery and the others.

The white sails were put away, and a large number of white sailboats occupied more than half of the new port, crowding more than a dozen pontoon bridges.

"Are there so many ships in Tyrosh?" Rosamund asked while standing on the stone railing, pointing to the harbor below.

"There are only about two hundred ships. If all Tyroshi's merchant ships and warships come to King's Landing, they will be able to fill the entire harbor!" Arlan Tyrell said, as if he was very proud.funeral

The Tyroshi army kept building ships and bought out all the warships in Mill City. Now it is the third largest navy on the mainland after the Royal Fleet and the Redwyne Fleet.If you only count the number, including the longboats that can only accommodate a dozen people, the Iron Islands still rank first.

Margaery pointed to a ship that had already started unloading and said, "Half of the ships that came this time were merchant ships. Look at the small flag on the top of the mast. The green turtle has a blue strap on its head. Andrew of the Forest Hall Lord Eastmond."

A few girls looked towards the trestle bridge. Dozens of young men scattered around the trestle, looking like hooligans, immediately surrounded a gorgeously dressed nobleman alighting from the boat, talking and laughing. Their father is here.

"Is that the Earl Andrew?" Rosamund was a little afraid of those hooligans.

Margaery stroked her hair: "He is your teacher's cousin, in charge of intelligence work, you can go to him if you want to know anything in the future."

Rosamund was still a little scared.

"That is, Earl Gunsor Hightower of Cancer Fortress, Earl Gendryville of Heshan, Earl Seaworth of Arad in Stormwind Harbor." Margaret pointed to the people who joined the other ships on the pier: "Funeral "Look at the blue seahorse flag on the top of the mast. If the ship has black sails, it is the Velaryon family of Tidehead Island. If the ship has white sails, it is the Velaryan family of Seagull Island. That handsome guy with silver-blond hair is Auryn Velaryon, commander of the Northern Navy who commands hundreds of warships in the Stepstones."

Rosamund looked at the people gathered on the trestle bridge, talking and laughing.They were followed by a large number of attendants, wearing armor representing their respective family's burqa, and flying their respective family's flags, very majestic.

"What are a bunch of old men doing here!"

A woman's roar came, Rosamund heard the sound and looked, a female warrior with a helmet in her hands, wearing black armor with two swords on her back, led a large group of women and squeezed onto the trestle.

"Who is she?" Rosamund's eyes widened.

"Contemporary Dawn Sword Ashara Dayne, you will suffer a lot in her hands in the future." Margaery felt sorry for the little girl.Werther taught magic to be lazy, and he disappeared after he finished the theory, and Ashara was responsible for the rest of the practice.

"By her side was Maester Sarela of Tyrosh, and Asha Greyjoy with a battle-axe on her waist. The one with an eagle on her shoulder was the wizard Menedith Crane, and at her feet was a The wolf's should be Sansa Stark, but why is she wearing a white mask on her face?"

"Ladies first." Oren made way for the ladies in a gentlemanly manner.

"Haha, let's go!" Gunsor hurriedly urged the sailors who moved the goods to speed up.

"I made a special trip here to wait for you." Gendry looked at Ashara bewilderedly.

"Ashara, I want to fight you one-on-one!" Andrew Esmond rolled up his sleeves as he said.

Ashara glanced at him: "How many of you this time?"

Esmond stretched out his hands, palms wide open.

"Forget it, even if you have ten people, I won't bet on you to win this time." Oren patted Ismond on the shoulder, shook his head and left.funeral

Gunsol walked up to Ismond, "I bet on Ashara to win."

Gendry didn't even look at Esmond, and came to Ashara, "You know, I've always supported you."

"Yeah!" Ashara smiled broadly, throwing her arms around Gendry's shoulders.

A group of people joked with each other and crowded towards the port.

On the trestle bridge in the distance, people continued to disembark from the boat, and more and more people gathered at the port, which also attracted crowds of onlookers from King's Landing City.

They dress differently from other nobles.Regardless of the material, the armor of the nobles has complicated embossing on it.The navy in mail armor and the army in plate armor both wore battle axes of the same style.

A team of a hundred people stepped off the warship, all of them tall and tall, wearing pale gold armor and a long golden cloak, with antlers on their helmets, carrying huge two-handed battle axes, and marching forward in neat steps.funeral

What made the onlookers most curious was that, like the Dornish people, almost half of them were men and women in the military. They couldn't help asking: "Isn't Tyrosh so poor that he can only eat crabs?"

Chapter 350 Two People Come and Go, New and Old

King's Landing City is very crowded, and this is only for civilians. Three or four people rent two rooms in a small building and live there, complaining that they will not leave, because only King's Landing City can give free citizens Provide a lot of job opportunities.Matte

For nobles and wealthy merchants, no matter where they live, they are comfortable.The aristocrats from all over the country gathered in King's Landing City, and it was easy for them to entertain their relatives in their three or four-story luxury private houses. Even the attendants who came with them had rooms to live in, but there was no big garden.

There are still many nobles who bring a large number of relatives and attendants, so they can only live in hotels and restaurants in the city.Some smart people have already discovered the business opportunity, and transferred a large number of food and dancers from other places to take the opportunity to make a fortune.There were too many people coming, and the road was full of carts pulling goods and laborers carrying large and small bags, and there was a busy scene everywhere in the city.

The nobles from the Stone Step Islands had their own relatives in the city, and the soldiers were not worried about lack of space, so they lived in the cabins.

In the new port of Blackwater Bay, there was an endless stream of people disembarking from the Tyroshi fleet, and a large number of Dornish nobles in exotic costumes also came to the port.

The last time the Dorne nobles came to King’s Landing was when Werther got married many years ago. There were not many people who came. The strange costumes are incompatible with other nobles in the mainland. Many onlookers have never seen the Dornishmen in their entire lives, and they are full of curiosity about them.

Margaery and Renly had lived in Tyrosh for more than half a year, and she knew that the nobles of Tyrosh had a good relationship and was chatting with them.The little girl Rosamund was a little shy, so she hid behind Margaret by her sleeve.

"Ashara, is your marriage settled yet?" Margaery saw her walking towards Gendry, who was half a head taller than herself.Matte

"Haha, sure, that's it!" Ashara laughed, banging her hand on Gendry's breastplate as she said it.

When Margaery left Tyrosh, Gendry had been a master blacksmith, not even a nobleman, and now he was an earl.Even if he is Robert's illegitimate son, he can be given an ordinary knight. There are also a few craftsmen in Storm's End and Highgarden who are knighted. Margaery doesn't understand why Werther gave such a high title to a blacksmith.

Ashara raised Gendry's arm, then lifted his skirt armor and gestured on his thigh: "Look, with such thick arms and thighs, I think he is strong!"

"That's right, he looks resolute and muscular." Margaery looked Gendry up and down with a smile, following Ashara's words.

Asha played with the handle of the axe, stared at Gendry's lower body and said, "Earl Gendry is not only strong, when we were on the ship, Ashara's room creaked all night, and none of us could sleep!"

Margaery: "Hehehe, didn't Ashara say that she wanted to find someone who could defeat her?"

"How is that possible! I'm on top!" Ashara began to argue loudly.Matte

After being teased face to face by a group of women, Gendry blushed shyly like a girl, lowered his head and whispered, "Actually, I moved her with my sincerity."

At this time, the low-key Dickon Tarly and his team members also disembarked, put on their hoods and mixed with the crowd, and disappeared before reaching the port.

The nobles of the Stone Step Islands passed by one by one. After Margaret greeted them, she never saw her brother Garland.

"Have you seen my brother Garland?" Margery asked again.

"They want to entertain the nobles of Volantis and Rhys. The ship has not entered the port yet, so it will have to wait until the afternoon. Garland is the head of commerce, Arad the head of taxation, and Hope, the commander of the southern navy. If they are close, Werther will let them take charge." Bachelor Sarela usually only talks about the position, not the title.

"Then we won't wait for him." Margaery smiled again, and said to everyone, "Stannis will hold a banquet to welcome you tonight, and everyone just goes to my house to rest first."

Stannis is here not only to welcome the new nobles of Tyrosh, but also to welcome nobles from several Outland city-states.Many of them arrived at King's Landing for the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and even set foot on the continent of Westeros. The arrival of these nobles was of extraordinary significance to Stannis, who was about to become king.[-]. "Mrs. Margery, hello." Menedith Klein didn't talk much, and her personality was a bit introverted.

"Margaery, send my regards to Mrs. Renly, we'll go to the magic school first and then find you." Sansa's words came out through the white mask on her face, her voice changed a little.

"Go and come back quickly, I'll save the pastries for you." Margaret saw that the magicians were all carrying metal boxes, and they should be responsible for escorting some magic items, so she didn't keep them.

Three people in shining and gorgeous robes walked towards the magic school.

After the spread of formations and inscriptions, there is a clear difference between today's mage robes and noble robes. The complicated magic formations embroidered with gold or silver threads glisten in the sun. In order to expand the formation area and extend to the ankle At the hem, there are small packets of medicine on the belt, which can be recognized by ordinary people at a glance.

Also holding a wand made of gold or silver, many people say that wizards have all their belongings.They are so brightly dressed, but no one dares to think of them. If a well-trained warrior without magic power goes to rob a mage, the opponent only needs a low-level illusion, and the warrior will fight against his own people.

Sansa is very tall, the tallest among the women present. She wears a white mage robe embroidered with gold thread, with red hair in a shawl and a white mask. Her graceful figure makes men want to get close, but she has a huge horse The direwolves guard the left and right, appearing extremely mysterious.Matte

Menedith's wand and red robes were made by the family, and she lived up to the family's expectations. She became famous in the disputed place by exterminating bandits with her eagle, and was called "Mene of the Red Lake." Diss".

The big bald Haiya Puli wears a pair of glass goggles which, combined with blue skin and blue mage robes, make him look the weirdest.The magic he uses is really strange, he only knows the most basic ice magic, and every ice crystal is highly poisonous, and ordinary people can only wait for death if their skin is scratched a little.

"Sansa has grown into a big girl." Margaery, Renly's chief apprentice, wanted to introduce again.

"Who is that woman in the black robe? She was looking at me just now." The little girl Rosamund pulled Margaery's sleeve and asked, pointing at the backs of the three mages.

Margaery: "Aren't there only three people?"

"It's the Quail Lizard, she's standing in Sansa's shadow." Ashara became interested, and leaned over in front of Rosamund, "Can you see her too?"

Rosamund nodded: "She is still wearing a red mask, why should she and Sansa wear masks?"

"Little girl, the meanings of their masks are different. The red one is a Shadowbinder from Asshai. The white masked Sansa is a dragon priest of the Dragon Cult!"

Margaery pushed the little girl to Ashara's side: "Rosamon is your teacher's new student, you should teach her more."

"Okay, okay, hahaha, let me teach you how to cut people with a sword first."

~~~

Late at night two days before the king's funeral, Oda Viying landed outside the magic school, very low-key.

The day before the funeral, Werther, Renly, and Stannis had a meeting in the Chancellor's Tower of the Red Keep.There were no bachelors and clerks, and magic blocked all sounds. Except for the nonsense of the servants who brought the food in and the three of them had dinner, no one knew what the three discussed specifically.
