In the blue sky, Arya bathed in the warm winds of the south. It was still late at night when we set off from the Mingyue Mountain Range, and the wind in the sky was as cold as a knife. Luckily, the dragon stealer has warmth of her own, and she is a large moving furnace.

The further south you go, the more the temperature rises. After noon, both Arya and the Magic Mountain felt the joy of the blue sky and the warmth of the wind.

The southwesternmost point of Westeros, with the warmest climate, is Old Town.

Old Town is the largest and oldest ancient city in Westeros. It was built by the ancestors when the Andals invaded the valley 6,000 years ago. The Old Town is located in the southwest corner of Riverlands and is part of the Tyrells family of High Court.

The Honey Wine River, which originates in Liangshui City, irrigates most of the farmland in the old town. The Meadi River finally flows into Whispering Bay. At the mouth of the river, an ancient and great city has sprung up in the form of Old Town, the largest port city in Westeros. Its commercial prosperity and city size are the largest in the Seven Kingdoms, surpassing King's Landing and its Blackwater River Harbor, Lannisport in the west, Seagull Town in the Vale, and White Harbor in the north.

If you head south from King's Landing, take the famous Rose Mile, which passes through the Tyrells' domain and the city of High Court, which starts at King's Landing and ends in Old Town.

In the glow of the setting sun, Arya, riding on the back of a dragon, saw a bright fire above the clouds, and the fire burned like a huge torch in the hands of the gods.

For the first time, Arya and the Magic Mountain saw the raging fire above the clouds, a beacon that has been guiding the way and illuminating the way for the people of the sea since ancient times. The fire has been burning day and night for thousands of years.

It's the tallest lighthouse in the world —— the most famous building in Old Town: the Tower of Heaven.

Towering Tower, one of the Nine Wonders of the World. Its height surpasses that of the Great Wall of Desperation. The spire is perennially above the clouds. It is the tallest building in the world and the home of the Hightower family. The base of the tower is as high as 200 feet.

The towering tower is both a castle lighthouse.

This miraculous artificial tower is located on Battle Island in Old Town. With it as the center, on both sides of the Meada River, countless ancient castles and bluestone streets have been built.

The spire of the tower is above the clouds, and the sunlight casts a layer of bright gold on the outside of the tower. Beneath the clouds, the huge and majestic tower resembles the body of a golden spear.

"Towering Tower!" Arya was shocked.

The height of the Great Wall of Desperation is already a miracle in the world, and the Tower of Heaven is much higher than the Great Wall of Desperation. It is rumored that standing on the top of the tower, you can see the silver thousand-mile-long line of the Great Wall of Desperation in the north.

The Magic Mountain sat right behind Arya, and the dragon's wings spread out like two golden-red lands accompanying it, giving people a sense of safety. Even if it was her first time riding a dragon, Arya didn't feel any discomfort. She felt more stable than on the back of a war horse.

"The exact person who built the tower is very controversial in the years of research of the scholars of the old town, and it has not been conclusive. "Judging from the fact that the base of the Tower of Bago is a square labyrinth made of rough black stone of unknown origin, the rough black stone is very similar to the dragon road that built the Valyrian Fortress of Freedom, and the black stone that built the black wall of Valantis, and it has been proven that it is the same type of black stone, which is an early Valyrian source theory." ”

Later, a scholar named Corleone proposed another hypothesis, suggesting that the labyrinthine pedestal was associated with Loras's labyrinthine maker. In his work "Strange Stones", the iron-born Bachelor Sylon proposed that the towers of the sky and the sea stones were very similar, and it was speculated that they were both made by deep divers. Modern Jerry Sci has once again enriched the Valyrian source theory by concluding that Old Town was a port for trading with trading fleets from Valyria, the Guggis Empire, and the Midsummer Islands, dating back to the time when the ancestors came to Westeros. ”

"And who built such a remarkable tower?" asked Arya.

"There's a saying that has something to do with you. Magic Mountain laughed.

"And me?"

"Yes. The tower was not built all at once, it was originally a wooden 50-foot-tall fortress and lighthouse, and it took five times to build it into what it is today. The builder of the base of the two-hundred-foot-tall tower, after repeated research by scholars, is now unanimously recognized as having been designed and built by Brandon Stark, the "Builder", but some say that it was designed and built by his son, another Brandon Stark. Whether it's Brandon the Builder or his son, they're all Starks. ”

The city's builder, Brindon Stark, was the architect of the Great Wall.

"Magic Mountain, are you sure?" Arya had heard for the first time that the construction of the Tower of Baco had something to do with the Starks.

"The current research is more consistent that the pedestal was built by Brynden Stark, and the point of controversy is only whether the city builder Brandon or his son Brynden. ”

A big smile appeared on Arya's face, and her mood became strangely better. Brandon the Builder is the great lord of House Stark, and since he can build the Great Wall, he naturally has the ability to build the base of this great tower. The tower, which is more than 800 feet high, is the most important building of the 200-foot-high base.

"Magic Mountain, I want to visit the Tower. ”

"Just what I want!" said Magic Mountain, "The Tower of Heaven is one of the Nine Wonders of the World, and I can't accept it if I don't visit the Tower of Heaven in the old town." ”

"How are we going to get in?" said Arya. Magic Mountain's words are always very much to her liking.

"Go straight in, from the top of the tower. ”

"Good!"

The magic mountain patted the head of the sheep thief: "Sheep thief, lower the height and go to the top of the tower." ”

*

"Oh my God, what did I see?" said Bachelor Morton, standing at the window at the top of the tower.

A golden dragon is gliding through the air at the top of the tower. Behind the figure of a woman on the back of the dragon is a burly steel giant.

The book in Master Morton's hand fell to the ground.

For the first time in his life, he saw a real dragon.

Correct!

Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and the earth, alarming everyone in the towering tower.

The dragon's groan traveled high-pitched, from top to bottom, through this piece of time and space.

Lady Melisandre asked the Magic Mountain and Arya to enter the old town in a low-key manner, and to take advantage of the darkness of the night to quietly enter the village, and not to shoot guns.

But the magic mountain deliberately let the sheep thief let out a dragon groan.

The dragon came to the Old Town, in a form of invincibility.

The Tower of Baon has been through countless battles, and no one has been able to break into the 200-foot-high labyrinthine base of the fortress, no matter what the battle. But three hundred years ago, Aegon Targaryen rode the dragon, and the head of the Hightower family did not resist and knelt down with his sword raised, and the world-famous tower was preserved.

The black boulder could withstand the attacks of swords and manpower, but it could not withstand Long Yan.

The hundreds of windows of the towering tower are all showing human heads, and the bright eyes are looking at the sky. The dragon's groans still reverberated through the tower, echoing for a long time.

People were shocked, stunned, and stammered!

Time seemed to stand still in that moment.

"Count Leighton Hightower, you haven't come out to meet your king yet. Magic Mountain shouted. He was born with a loud voice, like a giant thunderstorm. The dragon flew around the tower with the magic mountain and Arya, the windows of the tower, the soldiers at the top of the tower, the garrison under the tower, and the pedestrians on the street, all looked up together and followed the shadow of the dragon's flight.

A tall man with a bald head, a deep beard, and a thick brown grass stood in front of the large window on the top floor of the tower, looking at the dragon in the sky with a shocked expression, he was not far from the dragon, the dragon flew around, quickly disappeared on the other side of the tower, but soon flew out from the other side.

Dressed in a black robe, with shaved hair and bare feet, this burly man with a beard so thick that he couldn't see his mouth at all, was none other than Earl Llayton Hightower, the lord of the Tower, known as "Old Town Boss". In the year 281 of Aegon, at the Harrenhal Tournament, Leighton Hightower was defeated by the intrepid Barristan Selmi, and returned to the Tower of Babel and never stepped out of the Tower of Babel again. It was the wrong spring, and in that joust, Arya Stark's aunt and Rhaegar Targaryen fell in love at first sight, triggering the Usurper War of Aegon in 283 AD.

In the year 298 of Aegon, King Robert was killed by a wild boar for drinking too much, and the War of the Five Kings began, when Count Leighton Hightower supported Ranley Baratheon I as king, and he sent the garrison of Old Town and his sons to join the war, but he himself still did not step out of the tower.

He was dressed in a black cloth robe like a wizard, and the book he held in his hand was also a book of spells about the occult. Obsessed with the study of witchcraft, the Earl of Layton is already an out-and-out 'otaku'. However, the arrival of the magic mountain and the dragon disrupted the peaceful life of this 'old otaku'.

When the Magic Mountain shouted his name again, Earl Leighton responded: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Leighton Hightower welcomes Your Majesty. ”

Moshan had already seen this bald bearded old man, his image and temperament looked either a sour bachelor or a mysterious wizard, Moshan did not know Earl Leighton, and the two had never met. Earl Leighton had only received an edict from the king of the Magic Mountain, and it was a raven messenger informing him that the Magic Mountain had taken the Iron Throne. His notoriety for the Magic Mountain is like thunder. As for the King's Demon Mountain, Earl Layton felt awkward when he thought about it.

But the dragon flew around the magic mountain at the top of the tower like a giant, and the Earl of Layton was so shocked that he could barely breathe. The Demon Mountain Armor Giant Sword, that mighty demeanor is like a god.

The top of the tower looks as small as a needle tip from below, but in fact the space above is very large, and the dragon flies down to the top of the tower, and the flame of the lighthouse, which is not extinguished day and night, seems to have received some kind of induction, and the flame burns more violently with a roar, and the flame jumps high, and the tip of the flame swayes, as if dancing.

Even hundreds of nautical miles away, in the fog, the sailors on board could see the light of the lighthouse.

The dragon folded its wings, the magic mountain and Arya jumped off the ground, and the top of the tower was like a big bluestone courtyard, and the dragon fell, almost crowding the top of the tower without space. Earl Leighton led Lord Moreton, four knights of the family, the eldest daughter Moloya Hightower, and the fourth wife, Leia Florenton, to the top of the tower to greet the Magic Mountain.

Arya shouted as if singing, "Please greet His Majesty Gregor Clegane, Duke of Dragonstone, Guardian of the Realm, Commander-in-Chief of the Seven Kingdoms, Commander of the Dragons, Andals, Loyna, and Ancestors. ”

Everyone knelt down on one knee to greet His Majesty the King, who had never been known but never met, and Leighton Hightower's voice trembled slightly: "The Lord Layton Hightower led his wife, eldest daughter, bachelor and family knights to welcome His Majesty the King to the Tower, which is the highest honor of the Hightower family. ”

Demon Mountain's right hand raised slightly upward, and Arya shouted, "His Majesty the King ordered you to get up. ”

So, led by Leighton Hightower, everyone stood up one by one, and in front of the huge body of the dragon, everyone's faces were very ugly, and fear was clearly written in their eyes and the corners of their mouths, and they could not hide it.

"Count Layton, I need your help with a little thing, and then we'll go to your diner-room for a drink. ”

"Your Majesty, please command. "The Earl of Layton was genuinely terrified. The ancient family was once the quickest to submit to submission was when Aegon brought the dragon. The Tower of Baco was not easy to build, and if the pedestal had been built by Brandon Stark, it would have been as old as Winterfell for 8,000 years. Once burned by the dragon, it would be a great pain that the Hightowers could not bear.

"There's an old tavern that's been around for 600 years, you know. ”

"I know, Your Majesty. ”

"Oh, let's hear it. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. "The Earl of Layton is also tall and burly, but he has no momentum at all in front of the magic mountain, but he is just a half-grown boy with a pale face and a look of awe and fear, "The Weatpen Wine Bottle is on a small island in the Honey Wine River, and I was a frequent visitor to the Weatpen Wine Bottle when I was young. It was a tall wooden house that sloped south, with a terrace with a torch. For 600 years, the decanter has never closed. Back then, when Maester Aemon Targaryen was a young apprentice, he also frequented the hotel. When Duncan the Tall, the captain of the Kingsguard at the time, visited Aemon, they both liked to drink in the Quinn Decanter. Bachelors, assistants, apprentices, doctors from across the Narrow Sea, and captains of passing passengers, they all like to go to the quill bottle for a drink. Qingting Island's wine reputation is far and wide in the narrow sea, and it is the first wine in Westeros, but in the Yubi Wine Bottle, there is a strong cider that is not outside, and it is the most famous among the guests, and every guest who goes to the Yubi Wine Bottle has to have a drink. ”

"You're right, Earl Leighton, but do you know who the owner of the Pen Depot is?"

Earl Leighton's face was immediately embarrassed, he had not been out of the Tower of Heaven for more than ten years. He and his family were equally surprised, and did not understand what His Majesty meant by the sudden mention of the quille-pen wine bottle.

"Your Majesty, the current owner of the Pen Bottle is Emma. Dylan Hightower, the knight of the family, put his right fist on his left chest, bowed to the magic mountain, and said.

"Yes, Emma, she has a daughter named Rosie, and she is the hostess of the quill bottle. She is in the prime of 15 years old, and her buds are blooming. Have you heard of her mother, Emma, bidding her a golden dragon for her first night?"
