Chapter 471 Lao Deng of the Academy
These words pierced Cobain's heart and lungs.
Coburn staggered a few steps, with a sad expression on his face, and said humiliatedly: "As you wish, Your Highness."
The force is stronger than the person, unable to resist.
At this moment, Qyburn understood why the Archbishop recorded in the history books was guided by the Seven Gods and opened the gate of Old Town to welcome the conquerors.
Faith can't save Oldtown!
Rega raised the corner of her mouth and waved her hand casually: "You are not feeling well, please go down and take a good rest. My wedding will be grand."
The sadness in Qyburn's eyes almost overflowed. He lowered his proud head as the archbishop and retreated in embarrassment like a drowned dog.
This scene fell into the eyes of the missionaries and nuns present. They all quickly lowered their heads, unwilling to believe their own eyes.
The belief in the Seven Gods is sacred, so how can they surrender to power?
Rhaegar tilted his head back and shouted at the right time: "Your Highness, the Protestant Church needs devout believers. I hope you will send some missionaries to King's Landing to help build the church."
Coburn swayed and stuttered: "Building a temple, isn't it enough to recruit craftsmen for this kind of thing?"
"no!"
Rhaegar obviously did not intend to let the weak archbishop go, and said with a smile: "The church needs the infusion of believers' faith, and missionaries must be invited to participate in it to serve as a model for the people of King's Landing."
Changed the subject, playfully: "If you don't want the missionaries to be affected, you can set an example and lay the bricks of the church yourself."
With tears in his eyes, Qyburn took one look at his emaciated body and quickly agreed: "I will select a group of missionaries and send them to King's Landing so that they can work in peace."
“Very good.” Rhaegar was satisfied.
After some "bargaining", the archbishop fled as if he was running away, dragging a group of missionaries and nuns away.
If you don't leave now, you won't know if the other party will make more extreme demands later.
For example, King's Landing was short of nuns and forced the Starry Sept to hand over a batch.
However, Rhaegar did have this idea just now.
Naihe gave up the idea when he saw Aegon drooling over the nun.
Missionaries like to reap benefits, and if they are brought to King's Landing to work as coolies, they should pay off their debts.
Just harm the nuns.
The Starry Temple suddenly became empty.
Rhaegar's eyes fell on Mondstadt again and asked: "Where is Lord Otto? I wonder if the Tower has received any news from Allison?"
Allison stayed in a small dark room for half a month, known to the outside world as the queen, and moved to the church to pray for the king.
Others don't know, and the Hightower family will definitely not believe this pretense.
Mond lowered his head: "Otto rushed back to King's Landing a few days ago, hoping to make up for the mistakes Allison made."
"gone?"
Rhaegar frowned slightly.
With Otto's character as an old fox, he is actually willing to return to King's Landing during such a sensitive period to rescue his stupid daughter?
If he loved his daughter, he would not send Allison to the bed of the king who had just lost his wife.
Step by step, he seduces his biological daughter to fight for power, uses the status of the queen to classify the royal power, and feeds back the rights of himself and the Heitel family.
Eamond interjected from the side: "Grandpa left Old Town five days ago, saying he wanted to have a good chat with mother."
As he spoke, worry showed in his eyes, and he asked, "Did something happen in King's Landing?"
Aegon became more energetic, and a pair of dead fish eyes glanced back and forth at Rhaegar and Mond.
This pair of brothers and sisters are in Old Town, and their intelligence is almost zero.
From the few words spoken by the two, and Otto's urgency in rushing back to King's Landing, it is not difficult to guess that something happened in King's Landing.
Also, it's about Alisson.
Facing the questions from his two younger brothers, Rhaegar showed no sign of timidity and said to Mond: "You say it or do I say it?"
Mond hesitated for a moment.
“Then let me tell you.”
Rhaegar looked calm and said directly: "Alison made a mistake. You'd better not ask too much. I will think of a compromise."
As soon as the words fell.
Aegon lowered his arms and looked blank.
He was very confused at this time.
The brothers are fighting outside, while my mother is doing things at home.
What about my credit?
“Will it be okay?”
This sentence was asked by Aemond, with uneasiness and confusion flashing in his one eye.
He is only 11 years old. Even after being baptized by blood and fire, he still cannot stop the unexpected changes.
Compared to Aegon and Helena, he was deeply influenced by Allison's "small family" teachings and cared about his relatives in the small family.
Looking at his two younger brothers who had different reactions, Rhaegar did not scare them and answered in the affirmative: "Allison is the queen and will not be in danger."
To be fair.
Two brothers were out fighting for his eldest brother, but accidentally their mother died.
Rhaegar would feel guilty.
Hearing this, Aegon and Aemond breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
One is glad that the credit has not been lost, and the other is glad that the mother is fine.
"but!"
Rhaegar's sudden words raised the brothers' hearts to their throats again.
Especially Aegon, his whole person became energetic and his lazy and decadent temperament was swept away.
“What else are you asking for?”
Eamond asked quickly.
“Haha, just teasing you.”
Rhaegar chuckled, turned to Mondstadt, and said in a cold voice, "But Alison is fine, and it doesn't necessarily mean that everyone else is fine as well."
Mont's eyes twitched and he subconsciously took a step back. Behind him were a dozen well-equipped knights.
Rhaegar scanned them briefly and paid attention to only one person.
The shield is engraved with "horned bull skull on a blood red background", from the Bulwe family of Blackcrown City.
Looking at the other party's face, it was none other than the lord of Black Crown City, Earl Browder Bulwe.
House Hightower has several vassal families, one of which is House Bulwer.
In addition, the Linman family of Hive City, Mulundall of Highland City, Cotoin of Three Towers Castle, and the Iku family of Yanghua Hall are all powerful vassals of the earl.
House Hightower founded Oldtown, which encompasses the harbor of Whispering Bay.
The major vassals built castles around the old town to protect the security of the old town at all times.
This is the main reason why the Hightower family has been so prosperous and even more powerful than the Tyrell family.
Rhaegar's eyes were deep and he asked: "Why did I only see Earl Bulwe and not the other earls?"
A line of sweat broke out on Mond's forehead, and he said awkwardly: "The Dornish bandits are causing trouble, and I didn't summon the vassals."
“Really?” Rhaegar smiled playfully.
Except Lord Linman of Beehive City who is in King's Landing, the other earls all sent letters to Raven, declaring that they would never participate in the political battle between the royal family and the Hightower family.
Mond's face became increasingly ugly, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
He did not summon his vassals, but even asked other Reach families for an alliance.
For a month and a half, only the brave men of the Bulwe family came to the old town with 500 infantry and 300 archers.
The motto of this family is "Better to die than to surrender."
Rhaegar stood up, patted the hem of his clothes, and said as he walked: "Lord Mondstadt, lead the way from the Citadel."
The Faith of the Seven Gods surrendered, and the Citadel and Hightower took care of it together.
Mond was helpless and headed out with a group of people.
Aegon and Aemond each had their own thoughts and followed the team.
The school city was built on a remote pier in the old town, and there were only a few people visiting it in the past.
Led by Mond personally, the three-headed dragon quickly arrived at the gate of the school city.
The glutton roared when he landed on the ground, and the glass of the school city was shaken by the hot air, just like a fire without smoke.
Rhaegar sat firmly on the dragon's back and looked at the iconic buildings in Westeros in front of him.
The academic city is located by the Mead River. Its towers and domes are connected by stone arch bridges, and the residential halls are built on the bridges.
It facilitates communication among bachelors and reduces the need for residence.
There is a tall green sphinx statue on each side of the main entrance, a monster with a lion's body, eagle wings and a snake's tail.
Rhaegar looked carefully.
One of the faces is a male and the other is a female.
It is a bit like the sphinx building that flashed in a dream, full of the exotic style of the Essos continent.
Boom—
The arched door under the towering tower slowly opened, and dozens of bachelors wearing academic robes poured out.
There are no distinctions between young and old among the bachelors, but most of them are middle-aged or above. Their faces are numb but their eyes are shining. There is a kind of detachment that makes me sober while the rest of the world is drunk.
Led by three old bachelors, their appearance features are bald, skinny, and dead fish eyes.
Rhaegar secretly smacked his tongue, his thoughts really fit the stereotype of the city's bachelor in his mind.
Life is all about exploring knowledge and not caring about personal image.
Wei Geng, the Dragonless Man, was also so honorable. In his later years, he tormented himself so much that he could not get out of bed.
Three old bachelors stepped forward and stopped far away from the three giant dragons.
Looking at the glutton who bore the brunt of the attack, a flash of shock flashed across his eyes, as if he had seen an unimaginable monster.
After a moment of dullness, the old bachelor with a pair of dead fish eyes bowed and saluted, his voice stiff: "Three princes are here, the city is shining brightly, please come in."
The other two old bachelors came to their senses after hearing the sound, lowered their heads, and pretended to salute.
Rega looked down from a high position, saw their microexpressions clearly, and said calmly: "I have already met Dr. Fisher, and I have admired the other nine doctors from the Cardinal Council for a long time."
The old bachelor, who was as thin as a hemp pole, straightened his back and believed it was true: "I can submit an application to the General Manager's Office so that you can see other people as quickly as possible."
School City is a place to learn knowledge. Whether you are a doctor or a newcomer, you will study all day without exception.
Other PhDs have to give lectures and do scientific research, and need to make an appointment in advance to appear.
Rhaegar heard about the twists and turns and said cooperatively: "Thank you very much."
Then he nodded to Aegon and Aemond, and the three brothers climbed off the dragon's back together.
Three giant dragons prostrate themselves at the gate of the school city. Each one of them is larger than the two green statues at the gate. From time to time, the vertical pupils flash with a ferocious color.
Rhaegar went ahead, the maesters cleared a path, and the three old doctors led the way.
Along the way, old Dr. Ma Gan kept chattering, introducing the customs and customs of the school.
Rhaegar accepted it readily and looked at the plants and trees in the city.
The first impression given by the gray stone building is that it is tall and large, with a feeling of emptiness that is too cold at high places.
The unique style of the school city, everything is simple yet grand, and it is as convenient as possible.
Rhaegar nodded from time to time and asked about important places such as the library and the library.
Because of the dispute between Alison and Rhaenyra, he rarely visited Oldtown, let alone the Citadel that he had rejected since childhood.
This is my first time to come to the academy, and I'm really a little excited.
He still remembered the two old bachelors who gave him a cramming education, and also remembered the oath he made when he was young.
