Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 107 The Virgin of Astapor

"Your Majesty, this is the Green Virgin of Grazdan!"

In the early morning of the second day, Dany, who had rested overnight in the garden on the top floor, was about to go to Punishment Square to continue liberating the slaves, but Cleon brought a middle-aged woman in a green robe and green tulle on her head and face. come over.

"Please be seated first, Sir Broken Shackles, and Your Excellency the Green Maiden." Dany extended her hand to invite them.

She is eating breakfast, persimmon gazpacho, white bread, boiled goose eggs, grilled bacon, and green onion steak.

There is a lot of heavy work waiting for her today, and there may not be time for lunch at noon. Dany ate a hearty breakfast this time.

Different from the aloofness of the good lords, Dani asked someone to place a long wooden table on the grass, seven or eight meters long, placed in the north-south direction.

Dany is sitting at the north end, and Whitebeard and Jorah are sitting on her left, each with an extra meal of the same type as her.

Doria, Jiqi, and Yili had eaten before her, and as maids, the three of them were not qualified to sit with Jorah and Whitebeard.

Well, in Westeros, the king can sit at the same table with the minor nobles, but he will not sit and eat with the servants, and Dany is not the Virgin and the White Lotus, and I never thought about changing this.

——In order to change the etiquette and customs that have been handed down for thousands of years, it is more practical to find an opportunity to give the three maids a jazz status in the future.

Sir Shattered Shackles and the Green Maiden sat down on Dany's right hand in turn. The Green Maiden was frank and magnanimous, with elegant and skillful movements. The Butcher was a little unnatural, but more excited. This most intuitive identity change made him very excited. revel.

Doria came over to bring food for the two of them, and Dany asked, "Your Excellency the Green Maiden, did the Unsullied disturb the Temple of Grace?"

Danni was a novice surgeon before, and knew nothing about politics, but she still knew the truth that "the important affairs of the country depend on the priests and the soldiers".

There are more than 1 Unsullied and three dragons, and the military power has always been firmly in her hands.

Sacrifice, that is, offering sacrifices, refers more to beliefs and etiquette traditions.

Before the attack on Astapor, Dany arranged for the Unsullied to protect and monitor the Temple of Grace.

Neither can the saints of the temple be persecuted, so as not to cause religious turmoil-this is the most troublesome, and they can't be allowed to come out to add trouble to her.

The Temple of Holy Grace itself is also a pyramid with a peculiar shape. The priests are all women, collectively referred to as "Saints".

The green saint is the highest priest among the saints, similar to the archbishop of the Holy See, each city generally has only one temple of grace, and a temple usually has only one green saint.

In other words, the Grazdan in front of him is the religious leader of Astapor.

Well, that's right, this Holy Lady is also called Grazdan - a feminine variant of 'Grazdan'.

The first generation of Grazdan was once a great man in the ancient Ghis Empire, and Ghis people with some status wished they could all be called Grazdan.

"Your Majesty, the Unsullied are the most obedient warriors. They did not harass the temple." The green maiden took a sip of the persimmon soup gracefully and said softly.

"That's good. When the turmoil in the city subsides, I will let them withdraw." Dany promised.

"Your Majesty, how do you quell the turmoil in Astapor? I mean, Kaiyuan, Meereen, New Ghis and other city-states will not sit idly by your actions." The green maiden asked nervously.

"Oh, how could I have thought so far?" Dani waved her hand, and said boldly, "I'll just yell when I see injustice, and I'll take action when it's time to do so."

Hmph, three thousand Unsullied can guard Kohor, how many three thousand do I have here?

And except for the Iron Legion in New Ghis, Kaiyuan and Meereen rely on slave soldiers to maintain the city's rule. If there is a way to let them come over, let's see if Queen Dany's cannons are sharp!

Well, talkative!

Send me as many slave soldiers as you send me to fight for freedom.

My soldiers will fight more and more, and it is impossible to say that I will eventually create a shocking army of one million.

Those slave traders can be scared to death!

Even if the worst happens and everyone besieges her, these younger brothers of hers can survive for two or three years, right?

Two or three years later, I still swept the world with three dragons?

The green maiden sighed and asked, "Your Majesty, what is your purpose? Don't you want to go back to Westeros?"

Dani's eyes flashed brightly, and she asked back: "Your Excellency, the Green Maiden, what god does your temple worship? Harpies?"

"No, we don't believe in harpies. In fact, the ancient teachings have been lost, and today's Ghis people have little to do with the Ghis Empire. The Temple of the Holy Grace does not undertake the function of spreading beliefs. We are for the people exist."

Slaver's Bay in the Ice and Fire world = Egypt in real Earth.

Many people think that the Egyptians have always been Egyptians, and some people suspect that the history of Egypt and the pyramids are fake - there is no history of 5000 years, and that the pharaohs did not have the tradition of using pyramids as tombs at all.

Their reasons are also very good: if each pharaoh has a pyramid, how many pharaohs have a history of 5000 years?How come there are only dozens of pyramids?Many coffins of pharaohs were not found in the pyramids.

In fact, the Egyptians were divided into several periods, and the rulers of each period were even different. The line of ancient Pharaohs perished long ago.

Dynasties are different from nations, customs and traditions, and even beliefs are different.

Moreover, in many cases, the pharaohs did not establish a unified empire, and their national power was simply not enough to build pyramids, just like not all dynasties of the Great Heavenly Dynasty were Han and Tang Dynasties.

Therefore, although there are many pharaohs, not everyone is qualified to own a pyramid, or, at that time, the pharaoh's race was not popular to be buried in the pyramid - the doctrine that the gods they believed in did not resurrect from the dead.

The Gith people in Slave Bay are similar to the Egyptians. Although they are called Ghis people, they are not the same race as the Ghis people 5000 years ago, and their culture and beliefs have also undergone fundamental changes. —Varely Ya will not allow them to have strong and united beliefs.

"The Holy Grace Temple has seven-color saintesses, the green saintess is the highest priest; the blue saintess is a healer, and the white saintess is a girl of noble birth. They learn the skills of being women in the temple. They can choose to change jobs to other Saint of Colors.

The Pink Saintess is a servant and can be the maid of a noble person; the Golden Saintess is a scholar and can educate the children of a wealthy family; the Purple Saintess can be a housekeeper for a wealthy family. "

Speaking of this, the green saintess sighed, and said helplessly: "The pink saintess, the gold saintess, and the purple saintess are all products of the Valyrian era, but they have almost no meaning to exist now.

Every generation of green saints still needs the service of pink saints. Gold and purple saints are almost eliminated, and now the most popular ones are red saints. "

"What is the Red Maiden?" Dany asked.

"Cough cough" Jorah coughed a few times with an unnatural expression, his expression a little embarrassed.

The face of the green saint remained unchanged, and she said calmly: "The red saint is a holy prostitute. We do not shy away from the pursuit of physical desires. The most exquisite residence in the temple is the garden of lust. The red saints spend every night in the garden of lust. Waiting, waiting to be picked by a man, no one will wait until dawn."

Dany didn't pretend to be shy or blushing. She had discovered that from Slaver's Bay to Qarth, the atmosphere in society was unusually open.

Showing half of Mimi's clothes, and drawing erotic pictures on the city walls, these were unimaginable in ancient China.

"The actions of the Holy Grace Temple do not seem to support slavery," Dany said.

"But I don't object." The green maiden said.

"But my conscience is against it, the justice in the world is against it, the bottom line of human beings is against it, and even the gods with a little benevolence are against it." Dani said loudly.

"I will not object to you, Your Majesty, and the Temple of the Holy Grace will not object to you either. I am here this time just to understand your arrangements for Astapor." The green maiden sighed.

There is not even a clear doctrinal program, and the fighting power of such a church is so low that Dani feels sympathetic.

"I promise, I only target slavery. If a queen can't bring a better life to the people, then she might as well abdicate. Your Excellency, Green Maiden, I will only make Astapor better, of course, This is for most people." Dani said solemnly.

"I understand, it's time to say goodbye to you." The green maiden stood up and was about to leave.

"Wait a minute." Dany stopped her and persuaded: "I hope that the Temple of the Holy Grace will participate in city construction more deeply in the days to come."

"What do you mean?" The green maiden was puzzled.

"No matter how wise a king is, it is impossible for a single person to rule the kingdom. When a king rules the country only according to his own will, then his kingdom is not far from destruction."

The green maiden was thoughtful, while Jorah looked at Dani in shock, not expecting her to say such a thing.

White Beard looked excited and his eyes were moist.

"I will organize a political meeting to be responsible for managing this city. Your Excellency the Green Virgin is eligible for a seat as a minister of political affairs."

Dany saw the graceful high priest and asked, "Would you like to?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me this opportunity. I am very grateful." The green maiden responded with some excitement.

"Very good, now you can perform your duties." Dany smiled.

When the green maiden sat back at the dining table, Sir Broken Fetters licked his face and asked, "Your Majesty, may I be qualified to be the Minister of State?"

"Of course, you are the first Astapor noble under my command."

Afterwards, Dany asked the Green Maiden, Kleon the Butcher, and Jorah to continue to attack the remaining pyramids, while she took the white beard to the Pride Square to liberate the slaves.

More people came today.

Excluding the Unsullied, there are nearly 10 residents in Aposta City, the ratio of slaves to Ghis is as high as 7:1, and more than [-] slaves!

Uh, that's right, the Ghisians have become a minority instead.

Yesterday, 6000 people were wiped out by the Unsullied and the out-of-control slaves, and only half of the population of Gith remained.

Not to mention the Slave Bay, even in Volantis, the nine free trade city-states, the ratio of slaves to free people is 5:1, which shows how promising Dany's cause of "liberating the world" is.

As long as she stays steady, she is sure to win.

"This is the ashes of two thousand slaves who died fighting for freedom." Under the scorching sun, on the first step of the pyramid, under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of slaves, Dani pointed to the huge two-meter-high wooden box beside her, and pointed to the iron horn Loudly said: "I promised that their glory will be immortal.

Before I undo the slave collars for you all, I want to announce two things. First, no slave master can punish you anymore. This square is renamed as 'People's Square' at this moment. Who are the people?

The people are you, me, all of us, and the people are the true masters of Astapor. "

"Long live the People's Square, long live the Mother of Dragons!"

"Misha, Misha!"

Tens of thousands of people held up their white, black, brown, and amber arms, shouting hoarsely, and the turbulent sound waves almost broke through the white clouds in the sky—in fact, the people behind didn’t hear anything at all, but there were three brightly colored stripes above Dani’s head. The real dragon is circling and neighing, they are all excited!

Dany pressed her right hand down, and when the scene was quiet again, she continued into the tin speaker: "Second thing, in the center of People's Square, on the wooden platform where slaves were punished, I will use the ashes of these 2000 freedom defenders to build a stone monument - Freedom Defenders Monument.

It represents all past, present, and future fighters who sacrificed for freedom, their will, and their glory. "
