The journey of film and television world is endless

Liu Yuan also got a taste of the playboy life, leading twenty-odd burly men with a grand entourage. Many merchants looked at them with terrified expressions, thinking they were there to rob them, which even attracted the city guard.

However, Liu Yuan was generous, scattering a lot of coins. He bought many strange and bizarre things, including mineral-rich colored stones, peculiar plants, and strange animals, all of which he had never seen before. The Dornish girls, dressed scantily and with fiery personalities, even blew kisses at Liu Yuan, this young boy. There was also the only slave market in Westeros, but of course, the slaves purchased here would, after leaving the city, become lifelong servants in disguise.

After sending all the purchased items back to the hotel, Liu Yuan rewarded each of his followers with three silver stags. Then, he returned to his room to study the miscellaneous things he had bought today. The sailors who received the money went arm in arm to the westernmost taverns and brothels to spend it.

The next day, the merchant ship set sail, navigating the Summer Sea. The sea here was completely different from the Narrow Sea and Blackwater Bay. The seawater was azure blue, and even the sea breeze was warm. Liu Yuan saw a group of gray and white dolphins chasing and playing with the ship. Moreover, the number of ships traveling also gradually increased, indicating that maritime trade here was quite prosperous.

On this day, Liu Yuan could see a large number of seabirds gathering on the right side of the ship. Gradually, the silhouette of land appeared, and many ships were sailing towards it. The captain saw his confusion and explained, "Young Master Garon, that is the famous Arbor. The island is the most famous winemaking and shipbuilding center in Westeros, and those ships are going there to trade."

On Crab Island, Lady Yuna had taught them that the Arbor was the territory of House Redwyne. It belonged to the Reach and was separated from the Westeros continent by the Redwyne Straits.

The Arbor can be considered one of the wealthiest regions in Westeros. Arbor's wines are famous all over the world. Fleets from all over the south transport fresh fruits here. It has unique winemaking techniques, and the fruit wines produced are extraordinary, far sweeter than those from other places. The Arbor also has a unique golden wine, which can be considered one of the most expensive wines in the world.

The small islands near the Arbor, such as Stonecrab Cay, the Shield Islands, the Mermaid's Palace, Horseshoe Rock, and Bastard's Cradle, have a large number of docks built on them. This is the largest shipbuilding center in Westeros. Countless caravans from the north transport high-quality timber from the North here, which is turned into countless ships.

The endless wealth allows House Redwyne to support one of the top fleets in Westeros. The "Redwyne Fleet" firmly guards the Arbor, protecting the vast wealth of House Redwyne.

Beyond the Arbor, heading north, is Whispering Sound. The Honeywine River flows through Oldtown and empties into it, with the Three Towers and Blackcrown guarding both sides of the bay. It was already approaching dusk. From afar, one could see the towering lighthouse at the mouth of the river. Its bright lights guided the direction of these ships.

That is the famous Hightower, also the ancestral castle of House Hightower, one of the most powerful noble families in the Reach. It is both a castle and a lighthouse, located on Battle Isle in Oldtown, which is the wide estuary where the Honeywine River flows into Whispering Sound, with a blazing fire burning day and night at its highest point.

Oldtown, as the most important port in Westeros, is also a center for maritime and land trade. Merchant ships from all over the world gather here, with routes spanning the Summer Islands, the Free Trade Cities, and other parts of Essos across the Narrow Sea.

The Hightower is located in the center of Oldtown, and the entire city is built and expanded around it. The blazing fire at the top of the tower has guided people through the mist since ancient times, illuminating their future. It is the tallest building in the world, even taller than the Wall. Some experienced residents of Oldtown can tell the time of day simply by looking at the direction of the shadow cast by the Hightower.

The port of Oldtown is bustling with activity every day. The docks are densely packed with all kinds of ships, and even at night, it remains lively. The city itself has a different flavor. Whether it's a small stream or a large river, coupled with the scattered canals and cobblestone streets, it creates a unique aesthetic. Compared to King's Landing, the political center that is like a big latrine, Oldtown seems more neat and refreshing. Liu Yuan guessed that the orderly distribution of streets and alleys was because it had the most professional architectural experts on the entire continent. Moreover, House Hightower was willing to spend money.

The white buildings along the river are Oldtown's city hall. The shop of House Saathos is located on the street behind the city hall. The person in charge of the shop, Roddy Saathos, also comes from a branch of House Saathos and is a descendant of the uncle of Earl Adrian's grandfather. Although Liu Yuan was a bastard who was legitimized, his status was much higher than his, Roddy had to treat him with respect.

That night, he stayed in the courtyard behind the shop. The family had been operating in Oldtown for more than two hundred years and had a considerable scale of industry.

The next morning, Roddy personally led Liu Yuan to the Citadel to report. In Oldtown, there is a relative building complex, which is the Citadel, the highest leadership institution for all maesters.

Maesters gather here to meet, study, research, and train new people. The Citadel is also the residence of the archmaesters. House Hightower has worked hard to establish the Citadel and has always been an important sponsor and patron of the Citadel and the maesters. The Citadel is located on the east bank of the Honeywine River, with a tall sphinx statue on each side of the main entrance, both carved from green marble, and they are male and female, one with a male face and the other with a female face.

The gate of the Citadel is open to the general public. Just inside the gate is the Scribe's Court. The Scribe's Court is where assistant maesters in the Citadel provide writing services to the public and is the only place open to the public. The residents of Oldtown come here to find assistant maesters to write wills and read letters for them. Scribes sit at open stalls waiting for customers. Other stalls sell books, and some sell maps. It is not only a window for the Citadel to serve the public but also a way for assistant maesters and maester apprentices from poor backgrounds to earn subsidies.

The main building consists of towers, with arched bridges connecting the towers and domes, and the halls where the maesters live are built above the arched bridges. At the bottom of the towers are large buildings, the shortest of which is the Conclave. The Conclave that manages the entire Citadel is located inside, and the highest leader is the Archmaester, who is also selected by the doctors through a lottery. A new Archmaester is produced every year, and the Archmaester's responsibility is to manage the Citadel.
