Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 249 Doctoral Conference

"Stole what?" Dany asked in disbelief.

"Waffles."

"Why is he stealing waffles?"

"Greedy, it's not the first time Zion went to the kitchen to steal something to eat." The tall and thin bachelor shrugged.

Then he looked at Dani again, and asked, "Are you Knight Layla? My name is Parker, a bachelor of economics, and I'm going to find you in the quill and wine bottle."

"Hello, Maester Parker, I'm Leila, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's very urgent. After your reminder, Dr. Perestan checked the customs trade files for nearly 20 years overnight. The deficit is far more terrifying than we imagined."

"To be honest, I didn't even know there were so many golden dragons in Westeros." The tall bachelor laughed bitterly at himself.

After a few people stood in front of the stairs and said a few words, the two tall and strong assistant bachelors dragged the stealing Zion out of the gate.

There was a wooden hut the size of a telephone booth at the door, and the assistant maester was trying to squeeze Zion into it.

Zion seemed to be extremely frightened of the cabin. He pinched his fingers on the crack of the door, struggling desperately, and screamed loudly: "I'm hungry, my family is poor, and I don't have the money to go out to eat out. I was so hungry that I went to steal the doctor's biscuits. Bypass me!"

"Bang bang bang" the other two assistant bachelors ignored him at all, and just kicked the middle-aged apprentice violently, kicking the middle-aged apprentice so loudly that he had no choice but to let go of his hands, and the wooden door "squirted" and immediately closed tightly.

After the assistant bachelor locked the thick oak door, he left cursing, leaving only the sound of Zion banging on the door frantically and howling.

It's miserable.

"What's going on? Will the apprentices of the school city still be hungry?" Dany asked.

"Under normal circumstances, no, you can get a commission for working for the doctor, but Zion is too old, but he has never been able to get a chain link. The doctor seems to look down on him, and he doesn't like the job of handyman, so "Slender Parker shrugged and didn't go on.

Dany couldn't help but think of the old apprentices who set up stalls at the gate of the Academy City to sell books, and the clerks who wrote letters for the people of Old Town. It seems that Pate is not an exception, and the life of apprentices in the Academy City is not considered good.

But compared with ordinary people, apprentices are considered masters.So how hard must life be for a country farmer?

Inside the gate of the general manager's pavilion is a spacious hall of more than [-] square meters, with marble floors and tall arched windows on the four walls, which provide very good lighting.

The iron boots of Dany and Barristan made a crisp sound on the floor. Compared with many gray robed bachelors, their iron armor was too conspicuous.

However, the reputation of "Leila Wu Champion" has begun to ferment, and the bachelors who have come and gone have guessed her identity, and have cast curious and inquiring eyes on her.

Dany ignored the strange eyes of the bachelors, and asked the tall bachelor of economics who was leading the way: "How long will Zion be locked in the small dark room?"

"One day, two days, not sure."

At the end of the hall was a high platform, on which was a thin-faced old scholar in gray robes. When he saw Dany coming, he wrote on a booklet with a quill and asked, "Where is Leila Weishui?" Right? So, squire, what's your name?"

"Astan, my name is Astan Storm." The white knight said.

"Storm? Another illegitimate child." The old man wrote down the name reported by the knight, and handed over two small wooden signs and a bronze key. "The two are distinguished guests invited by the Academy City. You can take the wooden signs to the library to borrow books. "

Dany took the wooden sign and the key. After looking through it, she found that the wooden sign said "Layla Weishui" and "Senior Guest, whose authority is equivalent to that of an ordinary bachelor". The content of the wooden sign of the White Knight is similar to hers.

"What are the keys for?" she asked, holding up the bronze key.

"You'll understand when you go to the library." The old man waved his hand and began to ask the next visitor.

In the process of climbing the stairs, Bachelor Parker explained: "In addition to the books compiled by the scholars of the past dynasties, we have also long-term acquired books from any city-state, any nation, and any language brought by anyone.

Accumulated for thousands of years, Xuecheng has the richest collection of books in the world today.

There are so many books that cannot fit in one room, so the bachelor needs to bring the key to open the door of the library. "

The doctor is waiting for Dani in a spacious conference room on the second floor. Two small bronze statues of Sphinx stand by the door. The room is decorated in warm colors of [-] square meters. The mahogany table, except for the wooden table and high-back chair, has no other decorations.

When she arrived, seventeen or eighteen old doctors were arguing with each other with a stack of parchments, and the golden sunlight was projected on them through the arched glass windows, and Dany could see in the beam of light the old men's quarrel. Spit stars.

"Ah, Miss Leila, you're here," Dr. Perestan hurriedly stood up to greet him. "You happened to meet Maester Parker, right? He just got off."

"Well, I met at the entrance of the hall."

"Everyone," the red-nosed old man clapped his hands, and after attracting the attention of the doctors, he pointed to Dani and introduced, "This is Miss Leila Weishui, who is knowledgeable and skilled in martial arts."

"Hi, Miss Layla, my name is Gallardo." A doctor who was closest to Dani immediately got up, saluted, and then introduced himself.

Perestan also said at the right time: "Galardo, like me, is proficient in history. He once traveled to the Midsummer Islands, translated the poems of the Word Tree that have been handed down from ancient times to the present, and compiled the famous book "Son of Midsummer"."

"Dr. Gallardo, I've admired you for a long time!" Dani's eyes lit up, and she complimented her with a smile, "I've seen your masterpiece in Liberty City too!"

This is true, just like the Citadel frantically collecting books from all over the world, Dany also wants to build a super library in Slaver’s Bay. Maritime merchants often come to Astapor with all kinds of books, and then take a lot of gold and sugar , Liquor and other goods.

"The Son of Midsummer" is also very famous in the Midsummer Islands. It is similar to the ancient Chinese who recorded words on copper tripods. There is a long-lived and huge tree in the Midsummer Islands, the Yanshu.

The canopy of just one tree can cover the entire town.

Every year, the local priestess will record the major events that happened or heard in the local area in the form of songs and legends on the white skin of the tree trunk. The tree has a characteristic. As long as the tree is still alive, the skin scratches will remain forever. .

Thousands of years have passed, and their history has been preserved to this day through the huge tree of words

One more thing, because of this characteristic of the Yan tree, the artisans of Slaver Bay once proposed to use the bark of the Yan tree to make "Queen Dany Paper"

While Perestan was introducing the doctors one by one, the others were also whispering about the strange female knight in front of them.

"She's so young."

"It is indeed young, no more than 18 years old, but people first proposed the concept of trade deficit, and this alone can at least create a link in economics."

"I just don't know if she has a way to solve the deficit. During the 14 years of King Robert's reign, the Seven Kingdoms lost 1600 million golden dragons. It's terrifying!"

"Actually, you can try the 'Aristocratic Collective Repudiation Law' she proposed last night."

"That would put the whole of Westeros on the pillar of shame and be reviled by foreigners for 1 years."

Eighteen doctors, except for the steward himself, almost all have two or more copper (history) and gold (economics) links, and have copper or gold and silver alloy walking sticks and rings.

Well, the apprentices in the academy city have smooth necks, and those who forge metal chain links are eligible to become bachelor assistants; when they accumulate enough chain links (ten sections) to form a chain, they will be promoted to bachelor; they have in-depth research in a certain subject, or When the number of metal chain links exceeds three, he is eligible to become a doctor, and the doctor will wear a mask, cane, and ring corresponding to the metal according to his research project.

For example, Dr. Perestan, he has chain links of various metals such as silver, gold, lead, iron, black iron, platinum, etc., but his main research project is history, with a total of five red copper chain links.

Therefore, his ring, scepter, and mask are copper.

If you meet a gray-robed man in the academy city, as long as you look at his attire, you will almost never misjudge his identity and occupation.

After seeing all the doctors, Dr. Perestan led Dani to the old man in the chief position, "My lord, this is Miss Leila."

"Snoring—snoring—" the old man tilted his neck and let out a slight snoring sound.

The warm sun shone on the old man in the afternoon, and he slept soundly in this quarrelsome room.It can be seen that his face is extremely old, his hair has almost fallen out, revealing a baby-like pink scalp, his cheek muscles are shriveled, and his pale chicken skin is covered with age spots the size of soybeans and broad beans.

"Dr. Wargrave," Perestan couldn't wake up the old man for a long time, so he could only take a step forward and gently pushed him, "Doctor, my lord, Miss Leila is here, and the meeting can officially begin!"

"Oh, oh, the meeting has started?" The old man rubbed his nose, sat up slowly, only glanced at Dani, was suddenly taken aback, and immediately struggled to stand up, while shouting: "Your Highness atones, the old man doesn't know you Here we come, Cresen, Cresen, quickly help me up to pay homage to His Highness."

Dani couldn't figure out the situation at all, she looked stunned, Dr. Perestan looked embarrassed, and blushed and shouted: "Doctor, you misidentified the wrong person, this is Miss Leila, and Cressen went to the hospital half a century ago Storm's End."

"Deng Deng Deng" At this moment, a small door on the left wall opened, and a young apprentice ran over from the next room, supported Dr. Wargrave and asked, "Doctor, what are you doing?"

"Pate?" Dany was surprised to find that the apprentice who came over was actually Pate, whom she had not seen for a long time. His face was no longer as rosy as before, and he was as pale as a patient who had lost too much blood, but his pair of cross-eyed eyes were more serious than before. look.

"Hello, Miss Leila." Pat smiled awkwardly, and explained in a low voice: "I am Dr. Wargrave's assistant, and I am responsible for assisting him in completing his work, but the doctor often can't remember my name and treats me as his Assistant in his youth, Maester Cressen."

Gradually, Dani frowned. She discovered one thing. The aura of sympathy and pity in Pate's body was gone. Instead, there was an aura of disgust, which was a bit exaggerated, but that aura was always unpleasant. .

However, there are many people here and things are complicated, and she doesn't have time to study the changes of the young apprentice too much. The old doctor is still making a fuss!

"What are you talking about? Why don't you hurry up and see you?" Dr. Wargrave said, then stood there in a daze, and murmured, "Hey, is this Princess Lei Lei or Princess Leila? I didn't hear clear."

"Dr. Theobald should be allowed to preside over the meeting." A doctor covered his face and lamented.

"Oh, don't blame him, Dr. Wargrave is 94 years old this year. He was fine during the general manager election last year. As a result, he got Alzheimer's in just one month." The doctor next to him shook his head and sighed.

Everyone was talking about it, and Dani was embarrassed and shocked. She didn't notice that two old doctors with copper rings in their 50s were looking at her strangely.
