Chapter 0964 - Will Plans Astapor (2)

The queen sat on a high throne next to the consul Cleon.

Will stands at the bottom of the stairs with Jaime and Arya as VIPs.

The Commander-in-Chief of the Unsullied Legion, the Grey Bug, stood in front of the Queen's highest staircase. An Unsullied Guard stood at either end of the nineteen-step staircase, a total of thirty-eight guards.

On the first staircase, there are a total of seven Unsullied, like the Seven Kingsguard of the Iron Throne of Westeros.

Cleon's garrison has all been replaced, and the queen has sent them to patrol the city, garrison the city walls, and no longer serve as guards in the Great Pyramid.

On either side of the gate of the Great Pyramid, there were two guards on each side. The corridors leading to the interior of the pyramid and the stairs on each floor are guarded by two Unsullied Ones.

At each end of the street of the Great Pyramid, two Hundred Unsullied guarded the entrance and exit of the street.

Her Majesty's status, honour and majesty are to be enhanced by the army of the Unsullied.

Cleon's majesty and dignity immediately dimmed in the presence of Her Majesty.

Inside the pyramid, there are places where petitioners stand on both sides of the gate, and today, no one petitions here, and all the priests, priests, monks, and wizards of the city have been invited by Her Majesty.

It was not a simple matter to invite all these mysterious people, and the things invited by the whole city were done for three days.

And before inviting these priests, priests, scholars, monks, and wizards, Daenerys gathered a personal guard of five hundred men, more than Will had asked for of three hundred.

Her Majesty's safety and majesty still need the Unsullied warriors, and it is always good to be careful everywhere.

The guards guarding the Shwedagon Pagoda are a team of hundreds, and the guards of the streets are four hundreds.

"Dear priests, pious priests, kind monks, mystical shamans, I recently had a dream that I don't know what revelation is contained in this dream, and I need the priests, priests, scholars, monks, and shamans to interpret it for me. My beliefs are very vague, my ancestors believed in the seven gods, and I myself have been close to the red gods, witnessing the miracles of the red gods, and I have also been close to the gods of a thousand faces, and I have witnessed the mysteries of the believers of the gods of a thousand faces. In Pantos, people believe in the gods of the sky, the earth, and the sea, and I am the supreme governor of Pantos. ”

"And in Astapor, I know that some of our people believe in the Red God, some in the three gods of the sky, the earth, and the sea, and some in the Harpy and the Sphinin Manticore. I fully support faith, no matter what my people believe. ”

"I am the queen of Astapor, I have nightmares related to Astapor, I can't get any revelation from my dreams, so I want to tell my dreams, and ask you teachers who can communicate with God to show me the future of Astapor and interpret the message of my dreams. ”

A red-robed priest stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe in the Red God, the night is long, and there are dangers everywhere, Her Majesty has asked for the interpretation of dreams, and I hope that the brazier will be raised, and the flame will tell us the truth." The Red God is the only true god in the world, and he will not deceive our eyes. If there really is a divine revelation, the red god will definitely tell me through the flames. ”

Daenerys said, "Come, come, bring a brazier and a stand, and make a charcoal fire." ”

"Yes, Her Majesty. The servant agreed, and quickly brought a charcoal fire, a brazier, and a triangular stand. So, the charcoal fire was lit, and the priest stood in front of it, staring at the flames: "Your Majesty, you can tell your dreams." ”

Daenerys said: "In recent times, I have often seen the grandstand of the largest arena in Astapo collapse in my dreams, may I ask the teachers, what is the meaning of this dream?"

"Your Majesty, the Colosseum was built by King Jaco when Astapor was still in the Guise Empire, and the stands are sturdy, without a crack for hundreds of years, and it is the most famous structure in Slave Bay. It's certainly not going to collapse. Archon Cleon said.

"I think so, Lord Cleon, just in case, I'd like to ask a master of architecture to inspect the largest arena in the city to make sure it's safe. The arena hasn't been open for long, it's a business that brings wealth to Astapor, and good tax revenue for my treasury, and everyone is happy, so I don't want to see what it loses. ”

Cleon said, "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will immediately send for the best architects in the city to inspect all twelve arenas to make sure that nothing is lost." ”

Daenerys smiled appreciatively at Cleon, "Lord Cleon, I'm grateful you did this. ”

"It is my duty to serve Her Majesty the Queen. Cleon said.

Cleon stood up, beckoned to the government officials, and immediately went to ask the best architects in the city to inspect the twelve arenas.

Daenerys said, "Teachers, can anyone see any signs in the dream of the arena collapsing?"

The words did not fall - click!

Suddenly, there was a very crisp sound overhead, like the cracking of an eggshell.

Daenerys looked up at the ceiling, and everyone followed hers, and after a while, no sound sounded again.

Daenerys smiled lightly, "Maybe I just misheard." ”

"I hear you, Your Majesty. Will said.

"I heard it too. Archon Cleon also said.

"I hear you, Your Majesty. Grey Bug said.

Daenerys' face was dumbfounded, and she said, "My second dream seems like I have a hunch that it will be true." ”

"What?" asked the Red God Priest.

"I dreamed that the Harpy sculpture on the pyramid suddenly collapsed, and the time seemed to be night. Daenerys said.

"No, Your Majesty, I see the truth in the flames, and the time is daylight. ”

"What does that mean?" Daenerys' face turned a little pale, "Why did the Harpy sculpture collapse? These ancient minks have been standing for thousands of years. ”

"If they do fall, I think maybe God is angry. A wizard said. His lips are blue, his palms are blue, and his forehead and arms are blue.

The wizard drank the water of Nightshade to keep himself alive with the magical power of the spell. And the water of the night shadow is blue.

"Click!"

There was another sound of eggshells shattering, this time louder and clearer, and everyone in the Shwedagon Pagoda heard it and looked up at the ceiling together.

"Could it be that terrible omen today?" said Will in surprise, "Your Majesty, did the Harpy you dream of collapsing smash through the pyramid?"

"Nope. Her Majesty said.

"That's fine!" Will breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest to ease his progress.

Archon Cleon said, "Lord Will, Lord Priests, the Harpy statue of the Great Pyramid has been standing for thousands of years, and it is made of a monolithic boulder, and it will never collapse. Even if it were to collapse, our Shwedagon Pagoda would not be able to penetrate the roof of several floors to reach our hall. We are here, safe. ”

"Lord Cleon, I don't think so. "I'm a scientist, I don't know anything about theology and the power of God, but I just know that just now I did hear two very clear sounds, and this one came from the top of the pyramid." And the Harpy statue stands at the top of the Great Pyramid, and the High Priest said just now, and his flame tells it that the invisible Banshee sculpture will collapse during the day. ”

"Bachelor, you don't know anything about the power of the Great Pyramid and the Harpy God, so don't use scientific excuses to mix it up. Cleon said coldly.

"No, Lord Archon. You can't be indifferent to the two rings just now. One should not turn a blind eye to the flame revelation of the Red God Archpriest. I suggest that Her Majesty and we should leave the Great Pyramid for the time being. ”

"Bachelor, if you're scared, you can get out of here. Cleon said unceremoniously.

Click!

A third voice sounded, this time louder.

Arya's face changed: "Your Majesty, my lords, I don't think it's safe here, the three sounds today are so weird, may I ask if the big pyramid is usually so crisp?"

"Never, miss. A wizard said softly.

"I'd suggest we get out of here first, it's scary. When I flew in a few days ago, I loved the Harpy sculpture at the top of the tower, it was a perfect work of art. But the three rings just now, I think it's too abnormal. Jaime said a little nervously.

Click!

This time it was two rings in a row, and louder.

At this time, Cleon's face changed.

"I guess we'd better send someone out there to see if the statue is shaking. Her Majesty said solemnly, "Gray worm, go out and have a look." ”

"Your Majesty, let your friends ride the Flying Beast up to see it. Grey Worm bowed and said.

"I'll go!" said Arya and Jaime in unison, and it was clear that the two outsiders didn't want to be here any longer. The two loud noises just now were like the sound of a wooden board breaking.

The Red God Priest said, "Your Majesty, let's go out first. I did see the Harpy statue collapse in the flames, but it didn't seem like the Harpy statue on the Great Pyramid had fallen. ”

"Where did the statue fall?" asked Her Majesty majestically.

"I can't see the exact location from the flames, Your Majesty. Revelation is only a fragment, not the whole story. Pastor Red God said.

"Click!" This time, the sound was denser, louder, and shorter.

"Your Majesty, let's go out first. Grey Bug said.

"Alright!" Daenerys decided, "we'll all go out now, and we'll see what is going on out on the street first." Magistrate, tell everyone in the Great Pyramid to exit the pyramid and go to the street first. ”

"Your Majesty, if the statue does fall, we are safer inside the pyramid," Cleon said. With sturdy pillars on all sides and layers of floors, the statue cannot be smashed through. ”

"But it's scary to stand in here. Arya said, "James, Lord Will, let's get out first. ”

"Okay, let's get out first!"

Daenerys spoke: "Don't panic, let the old priests go out first, then the young priests and my guests, and finally, I will withdraw with the guards. ”

Everyone agreed, and the old people withdrew from the Great Pyramid first.

When all the people had withdrawn from the Great Pyramid and came out of the street, the clicking sound became rapid and violent, and the sound came from the statue of the Harpy on the top of the Great Pagoda, and slowly, the statue began to tilt.

People on the street were in an uproar.

Daenerys' face was pale, and sweat broke out on her forehead: "Priests, scholars, wizards, and priests, although this dream of mine is not right in time, but it turns out to be true, does this imply any divine revelation?"

Suddenly, a garrison soldier ran to report.

"Her Majesty, the Harpy statues in Pride Square and Punishment Square collapsed at the same time. ”

Daenerys was shocked as she looked at the Harpy statue of the Great Pyramid: "Priests, scholars, monks, priests, priests, wizard teachers, why is this happening, can anyone tell me what kind of revelation this is, who have we angered, and how can we save it." ”

Click!

The harpy on the top of the Shwedagon began to tilt, and stone particles splashed down. On the streets, people fled in an uproar. Her Majesty was also far away from the priests under the protection of a hundred-man Unsullied. But when they left the street, they heard a loud crack in the sky, and the statue of the harpy on the high pyramid fell with a terrible sound, and shards of stone flew wildly.

Bang!

The huge stone statue collapsed and slammed into the stone wall outside the pyramid with a loud bang. It broke through the staircase barrier of the first layer, smashed the stone staircase of the second layer, and accelerated and slammed into the staircase of the third layer, with a continuous rumbling sound, like a muffled thunder in the sky.

People on several streets witnessed the scene in horror.

On the city walls, the soldiers of the patrolling garrison also witnessed this terrible scene. The Great Pyramid is the tallest building in the city, and the Harpy statue on the spire can be seen throughout the city. The crash was like thunder, and the people of the whole city looked at this side, and everyone was terrified, especially the people who believed in the Harpy, all of them were afraid of a great disaster.

Daenerys' face turned pale, but the statue was finally stuck on the fourth floor and didn't continue to rush down.

Cleon was also dumbfounded, and his face turned yellow.

Usually these impossible statues fall, often foreshadowing the Astabos who will face the punishment of the gods. Of course, those who don't believe in God will only believe that it is the problem of the building itself.

"Masters, only one Harpy statue has collapsed, and I can also attribute it to the accidental problem of the building, and now the statues in Pride Square, Punishment Square, and the Great Pyramid have fallen together, what is this omen? Is it the disaster of Astapor? have we done something wrong?" Daenerys exclaimed.

Although she tried to maintain the queen's majesty, everyone could see the queen's fear of the wrath of the gods.

"Your Majesty, maybe we shouldn't have opened the arena. "When the queen liberated Astapor, she swore to the gods that she would never open the arena again, and that there would be no more slaves in Astapor, but soon Astapor opened the arena again, and slaves appeared again, obviously, this is a broken oath!"
