After the inspection, Paisiwen said optimistically,
"Sir, Princess Shireen's condition has been well controlled since she was a child. She has not relapsed after so many years, which means she has basically been cured!"
Lin En was very dissatisfied after hearing this and said in a deep voice:
"Relapse? Basically?"
"Can you give me a definite answer?"
Paiswin wiped the sweat from his forehead and carefully explained greyscale to Lin En.
The origin of greyscale is unknown. Some say it is a curse imposed by the gods on the Valyrian people, while others say it is a spontaneous and severe infectious disease.
People only know that it mostly occurs in childhood, and the infected skin will harden, stiffen, and crack. The bachelor of the Citadel recorded in a book that using lime, mustard ointment and high-temperature bathing can delay the onset of greyscale; West The monks of the Luo Church believe that greyscale can be cured by praying, offering sacrifices and ejaculating. After the disease has passed, the children will have obvious marks on their skin, but they can survive.
Both maesters and monks believe that children infected with greyscale will not be infected with other diseases in the future, let alone gray blight.
Gray blight is a variant of gray scale. It once broke out in Oldtown, killing half of the city's population and three-quarters of the members of the academy. Therefore, there is a lot of research and treatment on this disease in the academy. method, but it may not work!
"Sir, if necessary, you should go to the city to find a bachelor who has more in-depth research on this disease for consultation!"
After Paisiwen finished speaking, he hesitated and said, "It's just that I'm afraid it's not easy to do!"
"Why?"
"The city's targeting of our Storm's End school has become more and more obvious. From the beginning, they secretly prevented the maester from coming, and now they have almost openly stopped it, and even forcefully recalled the maester. With their attitude, they will definitely not support us! "
"They also made it clear on many occasions that what we teach in our schools cannot be called knowledge at all, it is just teaching cattle to plow the fields!"
"Because our students have only learned the most basic literacy and mathematics, even if they want to refute, they are often humiliated into silence by the other party!"
The more Paisiwen spoke, the more ashamed he became, and he slowly lowered his head and said nothing.
Moreover, the construction of the school has just entered a stable period, with a large number of students and a serious shortage of teachers. If it is just teaching the most basic knowledge, it can be carried out, but if the students want to study further, they are faced with the embarrassing situation of no teachers and no books.
Recruiting from the school city seems to be impossible now. This is a huge blow to his plan to build a great school!
Lin frowned when he heard this. The school city's dissatisfaction with him began after he opened the school, because the arrogant school city believed that knowledge was precious and could only be taught to a very small number of qualified people.
And Lin's attitude of almost rushing for others to learn from him made them feel violated and humiliated, so they definitely didn't like and disapprove of him.
Originally, he had thought about hiring more bachelors from the school city, and even renting some books to develop the school more comprehensively and in-depth. Unexpectedly, the attitude of the school city was more resistant than he imagined, and could even be said to be disgusting.
"Damn it! You're shameless, right? I'm going to meet you right now!"
Lin En decided to go to the school in person to see what was so great about this institution that taught all the bachelors in the continent!
That day, after asking about everything in the school city in detail, he began to prepare to go south.
The location of the Academy is in the southwest corner of the Westeros continent. If you go by land, you need to take the King's Road first and then turn to the Rose Avenue. Go all the way to the end of the Rose Avenue, which is the location of the Academy, Old Town. This section of the road
It will take at least a month or two to get down.
If the distance by sea is the same, you need to go south from the Narrow Sea, around Dorne, into the Summer Sea, and then sail to Oldtown. This is almost half a circle around the continent of Westeros!
How can Linn have so much time to waste!
Simply bring a letter of recommendation and hit the road.
And in the early morning of the third day, we stepped into this old town on the banks of the Mead River, a city built by the ancestors for thousands of years!
No matter who you are, your first impression of Old Town will always be the most magnificent, marvelous and jaw-dropping building, the towering tower!
This is also the tallest artificial structure in Westeros. It is a huge stone-stepped tower. It is said to be more than 800 feet high and reaches into the sky.
The towering tower is the home of the Hightower family. It is located at the exit of the old town port. It is both a castle and a lighthouse. The highest point burns a blazing flame day and night, which can provide a navigation mark for ships within hundreds of nautical miles!
According to the information Lynn learned from Margaery, Oldtown is ruled by the ancient Hightower family.
The Hightower family is the lord of this place who has the natural monarchy. Their family is famous for its proficiency in trade and its good view of the situation and does not easily intervene in the disputes of the Seven Kingdoms.
The current Lord of Oldtown is Lord Leyton Hightower.
Lin En walked into the old town. As soon as he entered, Lin En was given a huge surprise.
This city is different from any other city in Westeros. It has a unique flavor. Whether it is a trickle or a large river, it is harmoniously combined. In addition, the dotted canals and cobblestone streets form a pair of small bridges.

It is different from King's Landing, which is the political center of Westeros, and it is also different from Storm's End, which looks tough and tough. The old town is white and fresh, but the various streets, alleys, and alleys make the old town an exquisite and elegant place with smoke curling from the kitchen.
exquisite town,
But it is by no means a small town. Old Town is the largest port in Westeros, one of the five largest cities, and a trade center by sea and land!
The world's largest ships gather here, and their routes extend throughout the West Summer Islands, the Free Trade City and some other places across the narrow sea. Every day, the port is bustling with traffic, packed with people, and densely packed with ships of all kinds.
Lin En thought for a while, this is probably equivalent to a small town style magic city?
"Seems like yes!"
Compared with this place, my own Storm's End doesn't seem so satisfactory. At least in terms of city construction, it's just a few levels behind!
Unfortunately, this is not what we are here for today. Lin En pulled a fat man on the side of the road and asked,
"Friend, do you know how to get to the academy?"
The fat man was tall and mighty, with a stubble all over his face, but when he opened his mouth, people were surprised. He looked at Lin En with some fear, and said in a stuttering voice:
"Just, right on the edge of the Mead River." Then he pointed to a path heading north.
Lin En knew that his height was indeed oppressive to ordinary people, so he was not surprised. He nodded and thanked her and prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, the fat man said again,
"I want to go somewhere, and I can take you there."
