Chapter 0960 Flowing Water Garden
Dorne. Flowing Water Garden.
The air is filled with the aroma of sweet oranges.
Where water is as precious as gold, the most surprising thing about the Flowing Water Garden is not the sweet oranges that are everywhere, but the flowing water.
A self-circulating flow system, a huge pool of crystal clear water, divided into deep and shallow waters.
In the shallow water, more than a dozen children play in the pool.
A middle-aged man with a calm face watched the children play in the water by the pool, and he had a very satisfied smile on his face. The man's chin and face were meticulously groomed, his clothes were meticulous, and his knees were covered with a strip of silk embroidered with the pattern of the red sun and golden gun.
Syllable!
Not far behind him, there was a soft noise.
It was the sound of a sweet orange falling to the ground when it was ripe.
Around the pond are sweet orange fruit trees that you can't see at a glance.
The ripe fruit hung all over the branches. And on the ground, there are also yellow fruits. As long as you are happy, you can reach out and pick the sweet orange to taste.
The ripe and unpicked sweet oranges fell to the ground, and the paths and grasses in the garden were full of ripe and fallen sweet oranges. In the crystal clear deep water, there are two sweet oranges floating and sinking.
The man sat in a wheelchair, and behind him stood a giant black man armed with a giant axe, who was the captain of his guard, He Ta. Outside the Flowing Water Garden, there were two teams of guards, all with heavy expressions.
The children had a great time playing in the pool, not knowing that this would be their last chance to play.
He Ta looked at his master, who had no different expression from the one he had in the flowing water garden before, and he couldn't see any grief and reluctance in his heart.
The whole of Dorne had been taken by Will, and the nobles who resisted were either banished or killed. At present, Will's prestige in Dorne is growing rapidly, and the servants have become freedmen, and all freedmen have their own land, houses, and the right to vote and be elected. In Dorne, nobility is history.
It's like a dream.
The magistrates of Dorne were elected by the natives, and the positions of magistrates were appointed by Will until a formal ballot was held for officials at all levels. Every year, officials have performance reviews, and those who meet the standards will remain in office until a challenger emerges.
Arrene Martell had been captured by Will, and all of her men who had escaped the naval battle had been banished by Will to the other side of the Narrow Sea. Prince Dorou and Will made a peace agreement, and he surrendered Dorne's capital, Halberd City, and Will allowed him to leave Halberd City when he was ready. Only after Prince Michiro has left will Will and his generals settle in Yang Halberd City.
This is the last period of Prince Michiro's stay in Yang Halberd City, the Flowing Water Garden is his last day, this is the place where he has lived all his life, but today after the sun sets, he will leave the Flowing Water Garden, and will never come back.
Some of these children were the children of the Martell family, and some were the children of adopted sons and relatives. The children didn't know what was going on in the adult world, and the city of Yang Halberd hadn't really fought a bad battle, and when Aliane was caught crossing the sea, Prince Michiro gave up all illusions, opened the door and surrendered, and had a long talk between the two of them with Will who appeared for the first time.
That conversation lasted three days and three nights.
In the meantime, except for the cook, only the doctor had been in when he was massaging the prince's legs and back.
And in those few days, Prince Michiro discovered that Will was still a great expert in medical skills. When Will tried his hand once, he knew the priority of massaging the Prince, and by the last day, the doctor didn't have to go in.
In the pool, dark-skinned servants make horses, and children ride on the necks of the servants, and fight in two teams in the water, playing the story of good guys and bad guys.
Prince Michiro didn't feel the slightest emotion, he smiled and admired the children's games until the sun was gradually turning west, and the sea breeze brought a faint coolness.
Sunset.
In the distance, five huge black dots appeared in the sky, and the children in the flowing water garden were tired, and they all climbed ashore to rest on their stomachs in the golden sand. The servants were salvaging fallen leaves, sweet oranges, and mud and sand in the water, just as usual. The busy servants, both men and women, were still joking with each other, but not in a loud voice.
In the sky, the five black dots grew bigger and bigger, flying straight to this side.
Closer, it was two giant griffons and three dragons.
Correct!
A dragon roar came from the sky, covering a radius of dozens of miles below.
He Ta raised his head, the children raised their heads, the servants raised their heads, the soldiers outside the Flowing Water Garden raised their heads, and Prince Michiro also raised his head and looked at the sky.
Griffons and dragons make their way to the Flowing Water Garden.
Prince Michiro's body trembled slightly, although the smile on his face was still the same, he still looked so calm, so elegant, and so indifferent. But in fact, this is an illusion, he just hides his emotions well.
Zheng!
A griffon's cry came, and it made people's hearts skip a beat.
"Behold, is that a dragon?" the children all jumped up from the sand and pointed to the sky.
"Yes, that's a dragon. Prince Michiro said. But his voice was low, drowned out by the shouting of the children.
The dragon and griffin drew nearer, and a force fell like a mountain. The majesty of the griffin and the terrifying horror of the dragon make people shudder.
But that's the perception of power in the adult world, and the surprise is greater than the fear in children.
On the back of the black dragon, the figure of a woman was revealed, and Prince Michiro stared closely at the figure, if the expectation was good, this woman should be Daenerys Targaryen. Dorou had written to him several times asking for help, but had not received substantial help from Daenerys.
Daenerys' eldest brother, Rhaegar Targaryen, is Prince Michiro's brother-in-law. However, the relationship between relatives did not allow Prince Dorou to get the support he wanted, he had already handed over the city to Will in exchange for the freedom of all the nobles in the city, Martell of Dorne has become history, Daenerys Targaryen suddenly came, what did she want to do?
Prince Michiro looked at the sky, and the relationship between the griffin and the dragon seemed to be harmonious, and then he saw a man on the back of a griffin.
Just now, everyone's eyes were on the dragon, and they barely noticed that there was also a person on the back of the huge red griffin.
This man is naturally Will.
When did the griffin and the dragon become so harmonious?!
The dragon is the supreme magical being, and the griffin is the second supreme magical creature, and they can coexist peacefully, which also shows the relationship between the two masters.
A thought crossed Prince Doro's mind, was there love between Daenerys and Will, otherwise, why could the griffon and the dragon be so perfect in a battle formation?
The black dragon hovered over the Flowing Water Garden, and Daenerys' eyebrows could be seen clearly.
After all, the children were forced by the black dragon's hideous and terrifying and hid behind the adults. The distance became too close, and the dragon's horror was like substance, completely different from the feeling of surprise for children in the sky.
Outside the garden, the guards rushed in, hoping to protect their master.
Will rode on the back of a flaming griffin, hovering higher.
The red and green dragons let out a soft roar, Daenerys uttered strange syllables, and the red and green dragons flew away into the sea. Fishing in the sea is one of the dragon's skills. Adult dragons eat an astonishing amount of food. Will also uttered strange syllables, and one of his griffins flapped its wings and flew away, but in the direction of the Crimson Mountains.
The griffin is the king of beasts on land, and any beast of prey is its food, and they are only fond of eating horses.
The black dragon descended slowly, and the wind from its huge wings caused the sweet orange to fall like rain.
The fiery red griffon also slowly fell, and almost at the same time, Daenerys and Will jumped off the back of the magical beast.
He Ta and his brothers did not come forward, but the guards came in, only to show the attitude of one of their protectors, they knew that this was not a battle, and if there was a battle, they would not be able to resist the enemy.
"Daenerys. Prince Dolang smiled.
He didn't call her Her Majesty, though Daenerys's prestige had spread to Westeros and to Dorne.
"Michiro-sama. Daenerys was polite, stepped over and curtsy Prince Michiro in a wheelchair.
Prince Michiro smiled, "I'm sorry I can't get up and salute." ”
Daenerys smiled elegantly: "Michiro-sama, I know you have a leg problem, so you don't need to be polite." ”
"If you still think that we are relatives, I will call you sister. ”
"Big brother!" Daenerys saluted again.
"It's a pity you won't help me keep Dorne. Prince Michiro said modestly. Although he was very polite and restrained, and his tone was calm and calm, he immediately said this sentence, which showed the reluctance in his heart.
The more plain and bland, the more overwhelming the emotions contained in the heart.
"Dorne is still from the Martell family, but you won't accept Will's advice. Daenerys said in a tactful tone.
"No one can take Will's advice. Prince Dorou frowned, "Daenerys, if someone suggested that you give up the position of Her Majesty the Queen and give up the position of King to the freedmen to vote, would you be willing?"
"If the whole people are like this, I don't want to and can't. Who can sit on the throne of a king who does not have the support of the people?"
Dao Lang was stunned.
Will walked over slowly, standing beside Daenerys, smiling, and not speaking.
"Lord Will told me that you're leaving Dorne tomorrow, where is Big Brother going?"
"I went to Norvers. Lady Melalio will soon be married in Norforth, and I would like to bless her. ”
Daenerys glanced at Michiro's legs.
Lady Melaleo, the ex-wife of Prince Doro. After their divorce, Lady Melario returned to Norfos, where she had found a new nobleman and was about to remarry, and she wrote to Prince Dorou to tell him. Prince Michiro decided to congratulate her on her wedding, which would be a torture for him, a torture for his legs.
In fact, when Michiro was young, he traveled the world, and it was when he traveled the world that he met Lady Melario - when he and Lady Melario were in love, they went to the Dothraki steppe. At that time, Michiro fell in love with the endless prairie, and he hoped that he would settle on the prairie in his old age. This is a secret in Prince Michiro's heart, and he has never told anyone about it.
Daenerys Targaryen politely blessed Lady Melario, admiring Prince Doro's open-mindedness.
"Daenerys, since you won't take back Dorne for me, can you get Lord Will to let Arrene Martell go?
Daenerys looked at Will.
Will said, "As you wish, Mistress Doro, if you can guarantee that Alene will not bring troops to attack Dorne for ten years, I am willing to release her in the presence of Daenerys." ”
"Ten years without attacking Dorne?" said Prince Michiro, "I think I can promise you, Lord Will. ”
"It must be Princess Arlene's own consent, and I need her vows. Will said.
"I suppose you just give me a chance to see her, and I can get her to promise you not to attack Dorne for twenty years. ”
Daenerys Targaryen remembered the Slave Bay she managed, which had only recently been liberated, but there were already many uncertainties, one of the reasons being that the people's minds were not sensible, which caused the Slave Bay to shake up, the people killed each other, and the personal guarantees and the implementation of the law were marginalized.
Prince Michiro's promise, and even Alian's promise, are difficult to keep. When the power is strong, when Dorne himself is in chaos, that is the best time to war, and will not be bound by a ten-year or twenty-year oath.
Slave Bay is a good example.
Clarion, the consul of Astapor, did a lot of illegal things, killing the three consuls appointed by Daenerys, Daenerys wanted to destroy him easily, but Cleon represents the public opinion of Astapor, and the public opinion is not clear, and if you kill one Cleon, a second representative will come out.
That's what Daenerys is worried about and wrestled with!
It's easy to kill a Cleon, but it's hard to reverse the minds of hundreds of thousands of freedmen in Astapor. And Cleon represents the idea of the hundreds of thousands of free people, that idea, which cannot be killed.
That's why Daenerys came to Westeros to find Will.
She hopes to learn management from Will. Drogo had told her that when Slaver's Bay was in chaos and went to Will, Drogo's face had appeared in the flames. She then mounted a dragon and soon flew across Westeros, where she met Griffon and Will in the sky. In fact, it was not a chance encounter, but the dragon and the griffin were both intelligent magical creatures of the highest level, and the mysterious perception between them made it easy for Daenerys to find Will.
Daenerys heard about Prince Dorou from Will, and Prince Dorou chose to protect himself and gave up Halberd City, voluntarily ending his reign in Dorne.
Will had told Daenerys that Prince Dorou would have chosen to commit suicide when he left Dorne, and Daenerys decided to visit Prince Dorou as soon as possible, hoping to persuade him. Although the two have never met, Dorne has done a lot of work to revive the Targaryens' dynasty.
Daenerys looked at Will, and she decided to do her part to help Prince Dorou: "Lord Will, can you let my eldest brother go and meet Princess Arrene Martell?"
Will groaned for a moment, and although he felt embarrassed in his heart, he still smiled, "Okay!"
