The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming

The officials looked at each other.

Pence said, "Do you need me to roll out one by one?"

Commissioner of Taxation: "Sir, if we choose the Prime Minister, will we be attacked by Princess Arianne?"

"Yes!"

Sheriff: "Princess Arianne's legion is a pirate, and Lord Will's legion is the Seven Kingdoms Legion."

Commissioner of Taxation: "Most of the dead and wounded in the battle between Lord Will's army and alien ghosts."

"Yes, so I choose Lord Will." The sheriff raised his hand and stood up.

"Master Will, one vote!" Pence said. His assistant took notes.

"Chief Taxation Officer, who do you choose?" Pence called.

"Master Will, there is no doubt about it." The tax officer raised his hand.

Will previously shuffled Dorn, and the nobles’ land, fields, money and possessions were all equally distributed to the people. The rebellious nobles were either killed, or assimilated, or left Dorne. The remaining powers, the middle and lower classes, There were only a few nobles in the past.

Finally, the local tax official, the local sheriff, the garrison chief, the local legal affairs chief, the farming and herding officer, the household registration officer, the judge, the execution officer and the prison officer all agreed to choose Lord Will.

Pence said: "Since everyone agrees to choose Lord Will, we must prepare for war from tomorrow. Ironwood City and King's Tomb City will unite to form a coalition and garrison leader. From tomorrow on , Recruit new recruits from the two places."

"Yes, my lord."

The bachelor said: "My sires, our strength may not be able to resist Princess Arianne's army, so we have to ask for help from King's Landing at the same time."

"It's too late!" said the sheriff's chief. "The prime minister fought with ghosts and saved the lives of the people of the Seven Kingdoms. The military, material, and financial resources have reached their limits. Both the Northern Territory and King's Landing need to be rebuilt... But after Her Majesty's misfortune, The Prime Minister and his courtiers are facing an unknown enemy... It is difficult to count on the court to send troops."

Mrs. Laura interrupted the sheriff’s words: “Princess Arianne’s pirate army is not used to siege warfare. Their combat power is at sea. We defend the city by danger and the people will support us. She cannot break the city.”

"If all the people of Dorn rise up against her, can she kill all the Dornites?" said the bachelor. "If we save ourselves, we can't just stay here. We should contact the chiefs of other places to see how many allies we can find. "

"Bremont City can unite." Laura Bremont said.

Laura can do this as long as she goes back and raises her arms.

In the end, everyone reached an agreement, united with all the surrounding local governors, and told all the people on the land that Princess Arianne, with the pirate army, will reclaim all their land, and the defeated nobles will come back again and continue. To rule them, to keep their land and money, get up and fight.

The next day, the news spread.

On the third day, half of the people on the land under the jurisdiction came to the city of Irenwood with weapons and wanted to participate in the defense of the city.

Soon, King Tomb City also united, Bremen City also united, and the recruitment of soldiers went smoothly. The three places recruited together. In seven days, people from the three places actively joined the army. The total force exceeded 10,000, and almost all of them could fight. The people are here.

The situation is surprisingly good!

Pence did not reply to Princess Arianne, and Princess Arianne’s second letter arrived. Pence delayed for a few days before replying, saying that the first letter was not received, and the raven might have been lost. In fact Burns and the guards grilled the raven.

Pence replied that he was working as an official at all levels. Everyone was ready to submit, but it would take some time to communicate and propagate with the public. When everything was done, he would go to Yangji City to pledge allegiance to Princess Arianne.

Princess Arianne believed Pence's words, and wrote back to encourage Pence.

The three cities of Irunwood, King’s Tomb, and Bremen joined the nearby small local towns to train soldiers, step up preparations, and relocate the people to the city, on the hills, hills, and plains. Harvest the crops that can be harvested first. , Stored in a warehouse in the city.

In Yangji City, Arianne was in a good mood.

After the'Raven's Surrender', King Tomb City, Irunwood City, Blaim City, Starfall City, High Hidden City, Lemon Grove, Divine Grace City, Salt Coast, Thor City, Vance City, Gray Fort, Hell The gatehouse, the sky and the city, the sandstone city... the local governors all over Dorn replied that they were willing to return, and that Princess Arianne was the prince of Dorn, but it was difficult for the people to accept changes in government affairs for a while, and it took time.

Arianne decided to be magnanimous, give the local officials time, let them communicate with the people, and promote the return of the Martell family... Arianne gave the local governors and nobles a rule that after two months, the local governors and The nobles gathered in Yangji City for a royal meeting.

Yangji City is the easternmost part of Dorn, the Great Sea, and Dorn is nearly a thousand miles east-west, and nearly a thousand miles north-south. It takes more than half a month to start from Gaoyin City, Starfall City, and Bramont City on the westernmost side. Starting from the southernmost seaside city and crossing the desert, it takes 20 days to walk. Traveling by sea can save half of the time, but the city chief in the desert will take more than half a month to reach Yangji City at the earliest.

Arianne gave two months, which was neither urgent nor lenient.

In the old town separated from the Dorn Mountains, the seven-nation prime minister, Will, appeared mysteriously in Xuecheng.

Xuecheng is located on the west bank of the Mijiu River.

Standing in front of the majestic gate of Xuecheng, people seem very small.

There are bachelors and ordinary residents in and out of the school city.

On both sides of the gate, there are two huge sculptures, which are so high that you have to look up.

The body of the statue is a lion. On the back of the lion, there are two eagle wings, and behind it is a snake-like tail.

This statue has a name: Sphinx.

The sphinx statue on the left has a male face, and the statue on the right is a female. Both statues are all green.

Will led Arya, Rosso, and Podrick towards the gate of the school city.

There are no armed guards at the gate of Xuecheng, but there are several assistant bachelors on both sides of the gate.

The people who came in and out seemed free, and the assistant bachelors guarding both sides of the city gate did not interfere with anyone who came in and out.

But when the four of Will and Arya entered, an assistant bachelor quickly stepped forward: "My lord, please come in!"

Rosso and Podric came here for the first time, they were a little surprised, so please come in? Did not ask Lord Will's identity.

Under the guidance of the assistant bachelor, the four entered the majestic learning city among the bustling people.

When you enter the Xuecheng, you will see a long row of tables. Behind each table is a bachelor or assistant bachelor. Some are helping people write documents, some are helping people read letters, and some are receiving questions from others. Inquiry.

It looks like a small market here, but other markets sell vegetables, fish and meat. What serves people here is related to ‘words and learning’.

A strong student wind swept across.

Will and Arya, Rosso, and Podrick are all showing their true colors.

The assistant bachelor led Will and the others to a table. Behind the table was a bachelor with a bachelor necklace hanging from his neck.

The bachelor stood up and bowed respectfully: "My lord, I am honored to be able to serve the adults. May I ask the adult's surname, where is it from, and why did you come to the school? Is it looking for a bachelor? Or visiting? Or want to learn Some kind of professional technology."

Will said: "Bachelor, my name is Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms and the guardian of the whole territory, the regent."

The bachelor's smile stiffened on his face.

"Bachelor, this is my wife, from the Northern Stark family, Arya Stark."

The bachelor was speechless, speechless.

"These two are my guards. The mighty and vigorous knight is named Roseau, who comes from the kingdom; the shy and kind-hearted boy is named Podrik Pine, and he comes from the Pine family in the West."

"Prime Minister, hello. Are you looking for someone or ancient books when you came to Xuecheng?" The bachelor put the shock into his stomach, bowed his salute, gentle, but the fear and humility in his eyes explained Will's power.

"I'm looking for the director of Xuecheng, Bachelor." Will said lightly.

"The supervisor is in the governor's cabinet. Your Prime Minister, please allow me to lead you."

"Thank you!" Will said.

*

Many bachelor assistants who enter the door are places where people write, read, explain, consult and receive. These bachelors, assistant bachelors, and apprentices have a unified name: documents.

The clerks sit in front of the open booths and wait for customers, and there are some booths where you can buy and sell books and maps. This place also got its name-Clerk Desk.

Under the guidance of the bachelor, Will and his party of four passed the clerical desk and entered the interior of the school city.

In the learning city, there are towers everywhere. Between the towers and the towers, there are stone bridges or wooden corridors connecting them. The stone bridges and wooden corridors are very large. There are huts built on top for bachelors and assistant bachelors, as well as apprentices. They live.

Will and Arya came to Xuecheng for the second time and were no longer surprised by everything.

Rosso and Podrik were surprised all the way.

Xuecheng is not only built on the small island west of Mijiu River, but also on the island in the middle of Mijiu River. There are also bridges connected to towers in Xuecheng, and buildings are also built on the island.

Xuecheng-the highest leading institution for the scholars of the Seven Kingdoms.

Bachelors gather, research and train newcomers here. Xuecheng is also the residence of bachelors (doctors). The Haitar family, the lord of the old town, worked hard for the establishment of the school city, and has been an important patron and protector of the school city and the bachelors from ancient times to the present.

A group of four people crossed many stone bridges, passed many houses on the stone bridges, and came to the General Administration Pavilion near the river.

In front of the General Administration Pavilion, beside the river, there is a Weeping Wharf. People can take a boat from the Weeping Wharf to the Blood Island in the Mijiu River through a short waterway. The Doctor’s Tower was built on the Blood Island with ancient books hidden inside. Rumor has it that the glass candle is the doctor's tower hidden on the blood island. The bachelors who study advanced mysticism live on Blood Island, a group of people isolated by most bachelors in the city.

In front of the General Administration Pavilion stood two assistant bachelors from the big noble houses, and Leo assistant bachelor from the Tyrell family was one of them.

These are two assistant bachelors who are proficient in fighting and swordsmanship.

In the General Administration Pavilion, there is a dark room where people are detained. When some bachelors who secretly practice dark magic and reading witchcraft are found, they will be locked into the black room in the General Administration Pavilion. Some bachelors confess their innocence and need to be forced. Imprisoned, at this time, it was necessary to use an assistant bachelor like Leo who could fight and capture.

Xuecheng has very few armed forces of its own, but they rarely wear swords in Xuecheng. Only when necessary, will they carry weapons on them.

The dark room of the master cabinet is also used to punish apprentices and assistant bachelors who commit minor crimes, such as those who steal from the kitchen.

Will and his party entered the gate of the General Administration Pavilion. In front of them was a hall with stone floors and high arch windows. At the far end of the hall is a high platform, on which sits a bachelor.

"Is that the manager?" Arya asked.

"No, Mrs. Arya, that's the general manager's janitor. He is a Bachelor of Hodgson Colby, and he is responsible for receiving all the adults who want to meet the general manager."

Rosso and Poderek were slightly surprised, the majesty of this director was no less than the posture of any great nobleman.

The Bachelor brought Will and the four people to the high platform, and the five of them must raise their heads and look up at the competent gatekeeper on the high platform.

Noble like Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Whole World, and the King Regent, also look up here at the gatekeeper Hodgson Colby.

"Bachelor Hodgson Colby, this is the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Whole Realm, the King Regent, the Duke of Dragon Stone Island, and the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall Night Watchman-Lord Will." The scholar said upwards.

Hodgson Colby's arrogance is obvious, but when he heard that it was the Prime Minister, his arrogance a little bit, but there is still arrogance on his face. He usually lives in arrogance, and his contempt for everyone is deeply rooted.

"Prime Minister, welcome to Xuecheng." Hodgson Colby stood up, bowed his head, and expressed his respect. But he stood on the high platform, looking down as well.

This kind of high platform design with the gatekeeper above all shows that the authority of the general manager is almost supreme in Xuecheng.

Where academic research and science despise witchcraft and occultism, there are also shadows of power rampage.

"Bachelor, I want to see the manager, there is a very important thing to find him." Will said.

"Unfortunately, the Prime Minister, Director-General Dr. Pran Burnie went to the Isle of Crows."

"Can I ask the bachelor to take us to the Isle of Crows to see Dr. Poulan Burnie?"

"Yes, your Prime Minister. We have to go to the Weeping Pier first." said Bachelor Hodgson Kaul.

He walked off the platform, sweating on his forehead.

Hodgson Kaur was fat, bald, and gray bachelor gown. He sits on a high platform and takes care of the door. He probably seldom moves, so he is covered with fat.

Arya faintly felt uneasy, came to see the manager, and the manager went to the Isle of Ravens. Could this be designed by the Faceless? I hope I think too much.
