Chapter 657: Targaryen Royal Academy

Game of Thrones, King's Landing.

After the Targaryens' rule spread across Westeros, King's Landing, once nicknamed the city of and due to its overpopulated population, has completely changed.

King's Landing is now filled with majestic buildings of all kinds.

The style of these buildings is still the same as that of the Targaryen dynasty, with black dragon patterns and red flame patterns everywhere, but the interior of the buildings has been replaced by modern reinforced concrete.

All the walls surrounding the city were torn down, and the slums were reduced to high-rise buildings with long black tiled eaves.

The Imperial City of the Red Fort, which stands on the banks of the Yamuna River, has now become a dragon city where black dragons are entrenched.

The Basilica of Baylor, dedicated to the Seven Gods, was completely remodeled and became the Great Sanctuary of the Empress of the Dragon and the Goddess of Fire.

Next to the Great Sanctuary of Dragon and Fire, there are also two buildings covering an extremely large area, namely the Royal Academy of Targaryen and the Supreme Divine Academy of the Dragon Fire Cult.

These two colleges are the top schools of the Targaryen dynasty today, and they are the fairest path to advancement for all citizens.

Among them, the Academy of Divine Arts mainly cultivates followers of the supreme faith of the Targaryen Dynasty, the Dragon Empress and Daenerys, the goddess of flames.

Its enrollment standards can be said to be the lowest in the country, regardless of whether they are high or low, but only based on the purity of the believer's soul and the piety of the faith.

In other words, as long as you believe in a goddess and have a pure heart, no matter how humble your background is, the Academy of Divine Arts will accept you equally and train you to be a glorious magician without reservation.

This kind of recruitment standard, which does not distinguish between high and low and does not look at blood, may not be anything in other worlds.

But in the savage world of A Song of Ice and Fire, it is undoubtedly a groundbreaking change.

Because of this, all the magicians who came out of the Academy of Divine Arts basically became Daenerys's fanatical followers.

And the magic legion composed of magicians has also become the sharpest sword under Daenerys's command.

Compared to the more pure Divine Academy, the situation at the Targaryen Royal Academy is a bit more complicated.

It was the highest institution of learning in the Targaryen dynasty and the only place where education could be received outside of the Faculty of Divine Art.

The Royal Academy was extremely powerful, with branches spread across the continents of Westeros and Essos, which were ruled by the dynasty.

All the subjects of the dynasty, after reaching the age of 6, were required to enter the academy and receive a six-year enlightened education.

After six years, the academy will test the student's qualifications with a magic crystal, and if they have the qualifications of a warrior or magician, they can enter the magic major or warrior profession to continue their studies.

If not, don't despair, the college also advocates science, and there are many science and technology majors for students to further their studies.

However, these majors cannot be guaranteed like the first two, and children without qualifications need to study their own and make choices through a selection method called the college entrance examination.

To put it simply, Royal Targaryen Academy is a hodgepodge of modern schools and Western Fantasy Academy.

Its subspecialties include, but are not limited to, magic, warriors, physics, chemistry, and more.

Of course, since the people of the dynasty are more or less Daenerys believers, the sword and magic in this world are basically derived from Daenerys's fire power.

The so-called magic is actually only two parts: fire and light.

The branches below it are only the differences between attacking, defending, healing, and so on.

The same is true for the warriors, the power they possess is transformed by Daenerys according to the practice of Qi Gong, although they also follow the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, but the nature of the energy is very different from the innate Yi Qi.

Daenerys accepted Zuo Yu's suggestion and named this new type of energy Dou Qi in the official name.

Since then, the four forces of vindictiveness, magic, magic and technology have become the main forces under Daenerys' command.

In addition, there are also some powers that are not universal, such as the three dragons that Daenerys personally cultivated, and the alliance treasures that are rewarded to the gray bugs and other henchmen.

King's Landing, Royal Targaryen Academy.

In the tall and magnificent arena, countless heads are clustered on the circular audience platform.

Most of them are young students from different majors in the college, but there are also some elderly faces in the mix, either teachers and professors of the college, or family members of students who have been invited to come.

On the east side of the arena auditorium, there is a three-story stepped platform with high arches.

On the lowest platform sit various dignitaries such as the dean of the main institute and senior professors.

On the platform on the middle floor stood two commentators from the Academy.

As for the platform on the top floor, although it was still empty at this time, looking at the high-backed chair with a black and gold dragon pattern printed on the very center, and the luxurious chair next to it, even ordinary people who did not know it could see that this was an exclusive seat reserved for Her Majesty the Empress and her noble gods and friends.

"Say, will Her Majesty the Empress come today?"

"It should be, after all, it's a triennial college competition, and it's already a semi-final......"

"Yes, the two seniors who played today are the favorites to win the championship, but unfortunately they met in the semi-finals, and now there are rumors outside, today's game is actually the real final, whoever can enter the finals will definitely be able to win the championship!"

In the audience, many melon-eating students were whispering.

They are excited, excited, disappointed, or jealous......

Each emotion corresponds to their respective experiences.

Some are pure melon eaters, and some are defeated by the two players who are about to play.

But no matter what kind of spectator it is, when the roar of the dragon is heard in the sky, they can't help but close their mouths, and when the whole arena is quiet, they raise their heads and look at the sky with a little excitement.

I saw that in the towering clouds, an incomparably large white-gold dragon fluttered its wings.

He has milky white scale armor, a slender and well-proportioned body, and two golden dragon wings on the edges to cover the sky and the sun, with a wingspan of more than 100 meters, which can set off a whistling hurricane between the two wings with a slight vibration.

"It's His Royal Highness White Dragon Claude!"

The audience burst into excited cheers.

As a result of all these years of careful care, Daenerys's three-headed dragon has long since become a behemoth far beyond the TV series.

Such a terrifying body type is naturally difficult to put on all in densely populated urban areas, so whenever Daenerys attends an important occasion, she usually only brings one of the dragons.

And the white dragon Claude has become the most frequent mascot because of his high appearance and temperament is not as terrifying and majestic as the black dragon.

Its reputation among the people is also quite high, and the students of the college even jokingly call it the exclusive honor guard of Her Majesty.

"Roarβ€”"

The white-gold dragon let out a clear roar, then flapped its wings, slowed down in the howling wind, and slowly landed in the clearing outside the stone walls of the arena, the huge dragon head facing the top terrace.

Seeing this scene, there was immediately a tsunami-like cheer from the audience.

The dean and other big figures sitting on the lower floor of the stairs also got up one after another and bowed to the white-gold dragon head above.

The white dragon Claude didn't care about their reactions, just lowered his head slightly, allowing the three figures between the dragon horns to be revealed.

The most central of the three was wearing a white and gold complicated dress, wearing a golden crown of three dragons, and a long silver hair that fell down, reflecting the fair skin and beautiful face.

The combined momentum of warmth and majesty spread, causing all the people in the arena to become fanatical.

Daenerys Targaryen, the supreme empress and goddess of the Targaryen dynasty, walked slowly down the dragon's head, and sat on the high-backed chair in the center to meet everyone's feverish gaze.

A gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.

Daenerys beckoned, and the maid Missandei, who had been waiting outside the platform for a long time, stepped onto the platform and walked quickly to Daenerys' side.

Then, under everyone's gaze, Daenerys smiled and said something, and Missandei immediately paced to the front of the platform, took a deep breath, and let out a high-pitched voice that echoed throughout the arena.

"Stormborn, Dragon Empress, Flame Goddess ......"

After a series of skillful announcements of the names of the dishes, Missandei announced in a loud voice, "...... Her Majesty the Honourable Daenerys Targaryen has announced that the second Royal Targaryen Academy Grand Contest, now, has officially begun! ”

"Only dragons and flames live forever!"

"Only dragons and flames live forever!"

The subjects of the entire arena chanted feverishly.

The dean and other dignitaries in the lower echelons smiled and bowed to Her Majesty the Empress again, then turned and sat back in their seats.

On the top platform, Daenerys smiled and waved into the arena.

Next to her, a beautiful woman in a white dress held her cheeks with her slender hands and looked enviously at the cheering people below.

"Sister Dani, I really envy you, there are so many people who love you."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You're not bad! ”

Daenerys turned her head, looked at Bai Youyou with a smile and said, "Doesn't the female ghost under your command also love you too?" ”

Li Yun, who was wearing a suit on the other side, also laughed and teased: "Yes, Shushan Ghost King, gathering ten thousand ghosts, how majestic!" ”

"Can that be compared?"

Bai Youyou's eyes widened, and he exhaled angrily: "My group of sisters, no big or small, dare to open my yellow mouth in front of the little ghosts below, how can it be like Sister Dani's side, only respect and worship." ”

Li Yun smiled: "This is the difference between the community and the country......

Daenerys nodded and said with a smile: "If you are really envious, you can consider going to the underworld to develop, it is more chaotic over there, and it shouldn't be a problem to build a ghost country casually with your strength, right?" ”

Bai Youyou thought about it for a while, and said deflatedly: "Forget it, my prefecture there has a headquarters, in case someone from the headquarters comes in the future and liquidates me by the way, it will be a big loss!" ”
