Game of Thrones: The Arrival of the Dragonborn Chapter 247: Difficulty in naming
"You, the Duke of Tyrosh, are the chief warrior of the Seven Kingdoms and are known as the smartest man in Westeros. What kind of ridiculous names do you have?"
Nymeria held the paper with her name written on it in her right hand and kept shaking it in front of Werther's eyes, while she kept mumbling.
Triene next to her also looked at Werther with disdain, and the fruit she had just eaten no longer tasted good.
"I thought about this for a long time before I came up with it!" Seeing the expressions of the two women, Werther wanted to argue.
Bang!
Nymeria slapped the paper on the table and pointed to a name on it: "Then please explain to me what the following names mean!"
Werther leaned his head over, and the paper was arranged from top to bottom: Tom, Jerry, Stallone, Arnold, Intel, Nvidia...
"Isn't it good? These names are pairs of good brothers! The word Ying represents the root word of hero, the word Wei means the root word of greatness, and the word Dharma means that his magical power will improve a big step every two years!"<
/p>
"I think you're talking nonsense! When magicians reach our stage, don't they improve little by little?" Triene ruthlessly exposed Werther.
"This." The smart Werther didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"My child will never be called such a name, never! Get out of here! Don't even think about going to bed if you don't come up with a good name!"
Nymeria roared, crumpled the paper into a ball and threw it in Witte's face.
"I asked the maid to take your pillows and quilts to the study." Triene also joined her sister on the same front and gently made up for it.
Werther took the paper ball, not daring to make the two women angry anymore, and walked out of the bedroom on his own.
"Such a good name, people in this world don't know style!"
This time there was no divine help. Werther really had to scratch his brain to come up with these names. Tom and Jerry, two good brothers who love each other and kill each other. Arnold and Stallone, if two children are named this, they will grow up.
I will definitely be able to kill everyone in the end!
Werther came to the study, found a piece of parchment, re-wrote these names, and solemnly tucked them into the pages of the Baratheon family history.
Werther returned to Tyrosh. The nobles as far away as Dorne were waiting for Werther to issue a formal statement, but Werther's current attitude was to delay! The statements issued were all hoping that all parties would calm down and that everyone would sit down at the table and negotiate a solution.
Keep perfunctory with them.
The second sons of the Dornish nobles who followed Nymeria were all extremely nervous. They kept their armor and weapons close to them every day, and they always stood near Nymeria, watching everyone with vigilance.
According to the national character of the Dornish people, many dukes who captured Dorne by force in history were killed. If you want to seize the inheritance of Dorne, outsiders should not take action. It will not be conducive to rule in the future. Nymeria can only do it herself.
, but Werther did not take action, but it was not because he was unprepared.
Navy Commander Orion Velaryon has moved the fleet from the Stepstone Islands to the Dorne Sea in the west. It is a warning on the surface, but in fact it blocks the entire maritime trade and personnel exchanges in Dorne.
An investment fair has recently been held in the city of Tyrosh. Various liquor products from Westeros and Essos have been placed in various taverns and entertainment venues. Businessmen wearing various costumes are shouting at the entrance of the hotel.
Several large warehouses were buzzing with people. Businessmen took turns to take the stage, explaining like Werther had done before, bragging to other businessmen how they could ascend to heaven and earth after drinking their own wine.
This was a plan made by Garlan Tyrell, Hobb Redwin and Gunthor Hightower, and was organized with the approval of Werther. Several of them came from the southern part of the Reach, and their families produced wine.
Werther felt that they were very smart, they could learn their own way of doing business, and finally they no longer had to worry about everything themselves.
Witte took a group of magicians from King's Landing to visit the city today. They looked at Tyroshi City, which is full of commercial atmosphere. People even walked in a hurry and took long strides. Compared with the leisurely life of nobles in King's Landing City, they all sighed.
This is a vibrant city.
After taking them to the southernmost part of the island to visit the Wildfire Alchemy Workshop, Witte and Ashara came to the naval barracks at the port.
My wife wants to take someone to fight. As a husband, I can't just talk about it, I must provide material support.
When the soldiers guarding the door saw Witte's arrival, they saluted and led Witte into the barracks. Several officers also hurried over and followed Witte.
Werther, wearing a noble robe with his hands behind his back, walked slowly in the aisle where goods were piled. From time to time, he asked soldiers to open the bags and check: "How much is the quantity now?"
"Sir Witte, this warehouse is expected to store one thousand bags of grain. It has been put into storage now. The warehouse next to it also has one thousand bags. Due to the storm, only 450 bags have been put into storage. The remaining goods will be shipped tomorrow.
Arrival." An officer replied immediately next to Werther.
By the way, change the source app to anyanapp version.】
Witte: "That's right! There has been a lot of wind and rain recently, so the warehouse must be protected from moisture and beware of rats. The goods have taken up your barracks, are you still used to living there now?"
"We are all brothers. We have temporarily moved in together. It is quite lively to squeeze in." The officer had a bright smile on his face.
Witte patted his shoulder: "These things are all going to Dorne. The Dornish people will also be your good brothers in the future. We won't go to the battlefield this time, but we must ensure that they can eat well!" p>
"Make sure to complete the mission!" The officers and soldiers stood up straight and saluted Werther.
Afraid of being overcrowded, no commercial warehouses were occupied this time, and all supplies were placed in various military camps in Tyroshi City. Not only Tyroshi, Gem Island, Bloodstone Island, Storm Harbor and Torture Abyss, but also several large islands, now all
There are piles of various grains, bows and arrows, and lost arrows. Even some wildfires in glass pottery bottles will be used by Witte to support the front line during this war. However, the warehouse storing wildfires is separately sealed underground in the south. These soldiers usually also
No contact.
After inspecting various military camps, Witte and Ashara found a tavern for lunch.
"Master, am I the only one going to the Stepstone Islands in this war?" Ashara asked Witte while stuffing meat into her mouth.
Witte cut the barbecue gracefully: "Yes, among the nobles on the Stepstone Islands, you are the only one from Dorne. You can take the troops on the Gemstone Island directly to Dorne to participate in the war, and Orion Velaryon will be responsible for taking care of it.
You are transported to Dorne."
"This is a war, Master. My Gem Island is mostly populated by young farmers and workers. Many of them can only wield hoes and hammers and have not received military training. There are less than fifty private guards in my small castle."
Ashara still understands that fighting is different from beating people in ordinary times. It depends on the number of people.
"The city defense army in Tyrosh currently has a formal establishment of one thousand people, and there are hundreds of new recruits in training. I will transfer them all to you to take them to Dorne to participate in the war. They will use your banner as Earl Dayne of Jewel Island.
I have already prepared the clothes."
After finishing the lean meat on the plate, Werther forked a large piece of fatty meat onto Ashara's plate: "You will have poorer food on the battlefield. Eat more meat now to gain weight."
Ashara grabbed the fat meat and ate it into her mouth: "Haha, great! But if they leave, what will happen to the security of Tyrosh City? What if someone comes to cause trouble?"
"I will always stay in Tyrosh. Who dares to cause trouble? To improve the security of the city, isn't it because a group of magicians came from King's Landing? Teaching and practice should not be delayed." Witte intends to make the best use of everything and cannot let it go.
They eat for free.
"Yeah! Yeah!" Ashara was very satisfied and continued to eat meat.
Wirth: "You are my first apprentice. Be careful of being plotted on the battlefield, especially with bows and arrows! So I also made you a set of armor. Although it is not Valyrian steel, it is also high-quality made by me.
Equipment, and the style is guaranteed to look good!"
"Yeah! Yeah!" Ashara looked at Werther, her mouth dripping with oil and she kept nodding.
Seeing her like this, Werther didn't bother her eating for the time being, for fear that she would choke, and bought some meaty bones from the tavern clerk. "Bloody" Mary sat next to the two of them, her saliva already dripping on the ground. p>
The direwolf lives in the world of ice and snow, and every hunt is not easy, so its bite force and digestion ability are super strong. Throw a few bones to it, bite it hard, and eat the meat and bones together in a short time. Tyrosh's city defense troops were all new recruits who joined the army after the war was won. They had never experienced a war and only fought in the city. Witte planned to train them as a regular army, and this war was just used for training.
, even if more than half of them were killed or injured, Werther could accept it. The surviving veterans could at least equal three soldiers who had not experienced war, and perhaps some practical officers who were good at command and worthy of training could be discovered.
Not only the city defense force, but Werther's personal army and the Blade Warriors led by Dickon Tully will also participate in the battle. Each of them is a carefully selected super warrior and has received special training from Werther, but now they are less than two years old.
Ten people only follow Nymeria as her bodyguards.
Werther, the member of the Wind Blowing Group, did not intend to let them participate. First, many of them were very famous themselves and were afraid of being recognized. Second, Werther wanted a small number of them to infiltrate Pentos.
Due to Witte's financial strategy, the entire city of Mill was forced to buy bonds. Even the farmers pooled their money together to buy one. The daily conversation in the city was which company collected how much interest and which company bought how much.
Slave owners, and even soldiers and officers of the army, are now engaged in finance and have no time to participate in the competition in other areas. What they want is to wait until they make a big profit on bonds, and then they can just buy land and people.
The nine major trading city-states have experienced turbulence or war in recent years. Only the city of Pantos has been silently developing. Witte was very unhappy when he saw this situation. He had worked so hard to create a world-wide trade situation that could not be taken advantage of by outsiders.
!
Witte, Ashara and her wolf, after eating and drinking, came to the area where the outer city wall originally collapsed.
The collapsed city wall has been turned into an avenue. The originally deserted city wall is now filled with various workshops. A large square has been built at the original city gate. The square is surrounded by various temples and shrines, and there are some open spaces left for preparation.
Auction.
Since Witte stipulated that all religious buildings occupy equal areas, each sect can only work on architectural styles in order to attract believers. This is also the only place in the city of Tyrosi with white walls and red tiles that other styles of buildings can be seen. Many people
I like to do activities here during my leisure time.
"Duke Werther!" came the voice of a little girl in the distance.
Werther and Ashara looked back and saw three little aristocratic girls with platinum hair running over with their skirts in hand.
"It turns out it's you three. How are you doing in Tyrosh during this time?"
Three girls from Volantis slave owners followed Werther to work as maids in Meereen City. They left early due to the war. They arrived in Tyroshi City when Werther was in King's Landing, but they did not live in the castle for the time being. They were Werther
The maid must wait for Werther to make arrangements.
"Nymeria and Tyene have been great to us!"
"Wow, Ashara is here too! Are you here to beat someone today?"
"I won't hit anyone today!" Ashara touched the two swords on her back, but her hands were still itchy.
When Werther saw this, it seemed that they all knew each other and had a good relationship: "The time is right, you three will follow me and take a look here first."
"Okay!" After saying this, the three little girls walked over to Ashara. Werther didn't know what kind of soup Ashara gave the three of them to make them like to squeeze towards her so much.
The Temple of the Moonsinger is a pure white circular vaulted building, like a smaller version of the city of Braavos. Now the Moonsingers in Tyrosh are all women, wearing white robes to treat the people's injuries.
, handles weddings and funerals, and is very popular with Tyrosh women.
The temple of the Seven Gods continues its usual solemn style. Since most of the immigrants come from Westeros, the Seven Gods have a solid foundation of belief. They are now the sect with the largest number of believers in Tyrosh. However, the Bishop of the Seven Gods here often seeks Vitilti.
Opinion, saying that the Seven Gods are the orthodox state religion of Westeros, even if Tyrosh does not exclude other religions, the Temple of the Seven Gods must be built as large as possible. Witte kept talking with him until the King of Light stood next to him.
After the temple was built, the bishop let Werther go and went to find trouble with the King of Light every day.
There is a strong religious atmosphere in the Temple of R'hllor, the Lord of Light. Although the house cannot be built too big, they have a strict organization that is no less than that of the Seven Gods. They attach great importance to Tyrosh and have sent countless scammers.
, holds activities in the temple every week, either delivering bread or organizing hymns.
In addition to these large, wealthy and powerful sects, the buildings of several other sects are much smaller. Even the Old God has a small church with the financial support of Witte.
Only the Drowned God was rejected by Werther. The temple was almost built but was forced to be demolished. It would be okay if you didn’t know, but Werther had dealt with the Drowned God. Hermaeus Mora from the Elder Scrolls world, this
A multi-eyed tentacle monster had tricked him in Meereen City, and wanted Duneville to capture him as a servant. Perhaps Euron came to him before and was also bewitched by him. Now Werther can't deal with it, he can't bear it anymore! But he will never let it
The temple appears on your own territory!
Most of these religious buildings are a high-ceiling hall with two or three floors of living quarters at the back. The outside of the building is supported by various reliefs, spiers and sculptures. When viewed from the square, the most conspicuous building
None of these, but the nine-story white headquarters of the Dragon Worship Cult.
These religious people have fixed mindsets, and the temples must comply with the shapes and regulations. The Dragon Cult was founded by Witte, and all the rules are established and can even be changed at any time. All religious buildings in Tyrosh cannot exceed the regulations.
construction area, but Werther did not say how high it can be built!
For the headquarters of the Dragon Worship Cult, Witte asked Yin Simeng to arrange for it to be built higher according to the specifications of a lighthouse. The number of people entering and exiting other temples is restricted by the size of the building. The Dragon Worship Cult has a total of nine floors, and the first floor cannot fit into the second floor.
, the second floor is not enough and there are seven floors above. A huge wooden dragon head statue on the top is painted in red and white, exactly the same as Audawei Ying. In Tyrosh City now, the Dragon Worship Cult is second only to the Seven Gods Cult.
The second largest sect.
"By the way, what do you three believe in?" When he was in Meereen, Werther had not cared about their beliefs.
"Dragon Worshiping Cult! We are also buying necklaces from Auda Weiying." The three little girls pulled out three copper dragon head necklaces from their necks and showed them to Witte.
After seeing it, Werther felt that it was quite exquisite: "Bought it? How much did it cost?"
"10 golden dragons!"
"Yin Simeng is a bitch! How can the Dragon Worship Cult develop to ordinary people if three pieces of broken copper are so expensive?" Witte cursed.
At this time, several Guards soldiers wearing Werther's flame crown stag's robe ran over and immediately said to Werther despite being sweating profusely:
