Chapter 1053: Clerical Table, Weeping Wharf, Raven Island
The officials looked at each other.
Pence said, "Do you need me to name them one by one?"
Tax Collector: "Your Excellency, if we choose the Prime Minister, will we be attacked by Princess Arlene?"
"Yes!"
Sheriff: "Princess Arlene's legion is pirates, and Lord Will's legion is the Legion of the Seven Kingdoms. ”
Tax Collector: "Lord Will's legion has been killed or wounded in battle with the Strangers. ”
"Yes, that's why I choose Will. The sheriff raised his hand and stood up.
"One vote, Lord Will!" said Pence. His assistant took notes.
"Collector, who do you choose?" Pence said.
"Lord Will, there's no doubt about it. The Commissioner raised his hand.
Will previously shuffled Dorne, the land, land, property, and money of the nobles were all equally distributed to the people, and the nobles who resisted were either killed, assimilated, or left Dorne, and the remaining rulers, middle and lower classes, and the former nobles were only a few.
In the end, the magistrate, the magistrate, the garrison chief, the magistrate, the magistrate, the farmer and herdsman, the household register, the judge, the executioner, and the prison officer unanimously agreed to choose Lord Will.
Pence said, "Since everyone has agreed to choose Lord Will, then, from tomorrow, we must be ready for war. The cities of Ellenwood and the city of Wangzuka will unite to form a coalition army, garrison captains, and from tomorrow, recruit new soldiers in both places. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
The maester said, "My lords, I am afraid that our strength will not be able to resist Princess Arlene's legions, so we must also ask King's Landing for help. “
"It's too late!" said the sheriff, "The Prime Minister and the Wraiths have saved the lives of the people of the Seven Kingdoms, and the troops, materials, and financial resources have reached their limits, and the North and King's Landing need to be rebuilt...... After the misfortune of Her Majesty Shireen, the Prime Minister and his courtiers faced an unknown enemy...... It is difficult to count on the palace to send troops. ”
Lady Laura interrupted the sheriff: "Princess Alian's pirate army is not accustomed to siege warfare, their combat strength is at sea, we defend the city according to the danger, the people will support us, she cannot break the city. “
"If all the people of Dorne rise up against her, will she be able to kill all the Dornish?" said the Bachelor, "if we save ourselves, we can't just be here, we should contact the governors elsewhere and see how many allies we can find." ”
"Bremont City can come together. Laura Blemont said.
Laura can do this with just a throwback and a shout.
In the end, they agreed to unite all the governors in the vicinity, and told all the people of the territory that Princess Alian, with her pirate legions, would reclaim all their land, and that the defeated nobles would return and continue to rule them, and that they would rise up and fight if they wanted to keep their land and money.
The next day, word spread.
On the third day, half of the people of the territory came to the city of Ellenwood with their weapons in hand, to take part in the defense of the city.
Soon, the city of Wang Tomb was also united, the city of Blemon was also united, the recruitment of troops went smoothly, the three places recruited together, and in seven days, the people of the three places enthusiastically joined the army, with a total strength of more than 10,000, and almost all the people who could fight came.
The situation is surprisingly good!
Burns did not reply to Princess Arlene, and Princess Arlene's second letter arrived, and Burns delayed for a few days to reply, saying that the first letter had not been received, and that it might be that the raven had been lost. In fact, Pence and the guards roasted the raven.
Pence replied that he was doing the work of officials at all levels, and everyone was ready to submit, but it would take a little time to communicate and publicize with the people, and when everything was done, he would go to Yang Halberd City to swear allegiance to Princess Arlene.
Princess Arrene believed Burns' words and wrote back to encourage him.
The cities of Ellenwood, Wangzuka, and Bremont joined forces with the nearby small towns to train their soldiers, intensify their preparations for war, and move the people to the cities, in the mountains, hills, and plains, and to harvest as much as possible the crops that could be harvested and stored in the storehouses of the cities.

In the city of Yang Halberd, Alene was in a good mood.
After the 'Raven Surrender', King Mound City, Ellenwood City, Blemon City, Starfall City, High Hidden City, Lemon Grove, Divine Grace City, Salt Coast, Thor City, Vance City, Gray Castle, Prison Gate Fort, Sky and Castle, Sandstone City...... The governors of the entire Dorne replied that they were willing to surrender, and Princess Arrene was appointed Prince of Dorne, but it was difficult for the people to accept the change of government affairs for a while, and it took time.
Alenne decided to be magnanimous and give the governors time to communicate with the people and spread the word that the Martells were back...... Alianne stipulated to the local magistrates and nobles that after two months, the magistrates and nobles would gather in the city of Yang Halberd for a royal meeting.
Yang Halberd City is in the easternmost part of Dorne, by the sea, and Dorne is nearly a thousand miles from east to west, nearly a thousand miles from north to south, starting from the westernmost High Hidden City, Starfall City, and Bremont City, it takes more than half a month to walk. It is also a twenty-day walk from the southernmost seaside city through the desert. Taking the sea route can save half the time, but the city governor in the desert will take more than half a month to reach Yang Halberd City at the earliest.
Arlene gave two months, which was not urgent, nor was it a relief.

And in the old town separated from the Dorne Mountains, Lord Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, mysteriously appeared in the school city.
The school city is located on the west bank of the Mejiu River.
Standing in front of the majestic gate of the school city, people seem very small.
The school town has bachelors and ordinary residents of the neighborhood coming in and out.
On both sides of the gate, there are two huge carvings, which are so high that you have to look up.
The body of the statue is a lion, with the wings of two eagles on its back and a snake-like tail behind it.
The statue has a name: the Sphinx.
The Sphinx statue on the left has a male face, while the statue on the right is a woman. Both statues are green throughout.
Will led Arya, Rosso, and Podrick to the gate of the school.
There were no armed guards at the gates of the school, but there were several assistant bachelors on either side of the gates.
The people who came in and out seemed free, and the assistants who stood guard on both sides of the gate did not interfere with anyone entering and leaving.
But when Will and Arya's group of four entered, an assistant quickly stepped forward: "My lord, please come in!"
Rosso and Podrick were a little surprised when they first came, so they invited in without asking for Will's identity.
Led by an assistant bachelor, the four of them entered the majestic school city in the bustling man 6.
When I entered the school city, I saw a long row of desks, and behind each desk there was a bachelor or assistant bachelor, some of whom were helping people write documents, some were helping people read letters, and some were receiving inquiries from some people.
It looks like a small market, except that the other markets sell vegetables, fish, meat, etc., and it serves people things related to 'writing and learning'.
A strong student wind is blowing in the face.
Will and Arya, Rosso, and Podrick all show their true colors.
The assistant leads Will and the others to a table behind which sits a bachelor with a necklace around his neck.
The bachelor stood up and bowed respectfully: "My lord, I am honored to be able to serve the adults, may I ask your last name, where you come from, what is the reason for coming to the school city? Do you want to find a bachelor? or visit and play, or do you want to learn some professional skills." ”
Will said: "Bachelor, my name is Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms and the Guardian of the Whole Territory, the Regent. ”
The Bachelor's smile stiffened.
"Bachelor, this is my lady, from House Stark in the North, Arya Stark. ”
The bachelor stammered, speechless.
"These two are my squires, a mighty and mighty knight named Rosor from the King's Lands, and a shy and kind-hearted boy named Podrick Pyne, who is from the Pyne family in the West. ”
"Hello, Prime Minister. May I ask if you came to the school city to find someone or an ancient book?" The bachelor put the shock in his stomach and bowed, polite, but the fear and humility in his eyes showed the dignity of Will's power.
"I'm looking for a school city director, bachelor. Will said lightly.
"Governor's Cabinet, Prime Minister, allow me to show you the way. ”
"Thank you!" Will said.
*
Many of the bachelors, assistants, and apprentices who enter the door are places where people write, read, explain, consult, and receive people, and these bachelors, assistants, and apprentices have a common name: clerical.
Clerks sit in front of open stalls waiting for customers, and there are also stalls where you can buy and sell books and buy and sell maps. Hence the name of this place - clerical desk.
Under the guidance of the bachelor, Will and the four of them passed the desk and entered the school city.
Inside the school, there were towers everywhere, and between the towers, there were stone bridges or wooden corridors, and the stone bridges and wooden corridors were very large, and huts were built on them, which were used by bachelors, assistants, and apprentices.
Will and Arya came to the school for the second time, and they were no longer surprised by everything.
Rosso and Podrick were amazed all the way.
The school city is not only built on the west side of the Honey River, but also on the island in the middle of the Honey River, there are also bridges connected to the towers in the school, and buildings have also been built on the island.
Xuecheng - the supreme governing body of the scholars of the Seven Kingdoms.
Scholars gather, study, and train newcomers here. It is also the residence of university scholars (doctors). The Lords of the Old Town, the Hightowers, were instrumental in the establishment of the school, and have been important patrons and patrons of the school and its scholars since ancient times.
The group of four crossed a lot of stone bridges, passed by many housing halls on the stone bridges, and came to the chief pavilion near the river.
In front of the Governor's Pavilion, by the river, there is a weeping pier, from which people can take a boat and take a short waterway to the blood island in the Meajiu River. On Blood Island was built the Doctor's Tower, which contained ancient books. It is rumored that the glass candle is the Doctor's Tower hidden on the Blood Island. The Masters of the Advanced Occult Arts all live in Blood Island, a group of people isolated by most of the Academy's Masters.
In front of the Governor's Pavilion stood two assistant scholars from the great noble families, one of whom was Assistant Master Leo from the Tyrell family.
These are two assistant bachelors who are proficient in martial arts and swordsmanship.
In the Governor's Pavilion, there is a black room where people are imprisoned, and some bachelors who secretly practice dark magic and read witchcraft are found out, and they will be locked up in the dark room of the Governor's Pavilion, and some bachelors admit their innocence and need to be forcibly imprisoned.
The school city has its own very small armed forces, but they are rarely equipped with swords in the school city. Only when necessary, will you carry a weapon with you.
The Governor's Cabinet's Black Room was also responsible for punishing apprentices and assistant scholars who had committed minor crimes, such as stealing from the kitchen.
Will and his party entered the gate of the Governor's Pavilion, and in front of them was a large hall with stone floors and high-arched windows. At the far end of the hall was a high platform on which sat a scholar.
"Is that the Steward?" asked Arya.
"No, Lady Arya, that's the steward's janitor. He was Maester Hodgson Colby, and was in charge of receiving all the adults who wanted to meet with the Governor. ”
Rosso and Podrick were slightly surprised, the majesty of this manager was no less than the posture of any great noble.
The maester led Will and the four of them to the high platform, and the five of them had to raise their heads and look up at the supervising janitor on the high platform.
Honorable as Will, the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, the Guardian of the Territory, and the Regent, will also raise his head here and look up to Hodgson Colby, the chief janitor.
"Maester Hodgson Colby, Lord Will is Lord Will, Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms, Guardian of the Realm, Regent, Duke of Dragonstone, and Commander-in-Chief of the Night's Watch of the Wall. The bachelor introduced.
Hodgson Colby's arrogance was obvious, but when he heard that it was the Prime Minister, his arrogance subsided a little, but there was still arrogance on his face. He usually lives in arrogance, and his contempt for everyone has been deeply rooted in his bones.
"Prime Minister, welcome to the school. Hodgson Colby stood up, bowed his head, and paid his respect. But he stood on a high platform, looking down and looking down.
This design of the gatekeeper's high platform shows that the authority of the steward is almost supreme in the school city.
Where academic research and science despise witchcraft and the occult, there is also a shadow of power.
"Bachelor, I want to see the manager, I have something very important to look for him. Will said.
"Unfortunately, Your Excellency, Dr. Puran Burney, the Governor, went to Raven Island. “
"Can I ask the maester to take us to Raven Island to see Dr. Puran Burney?"
"Yes, Prime Minister. We've got to go to the Crying Dock first. Bachelor Hodgson Kaul said.
He stepped off the high platform, and there was already fine sweat on his forehead.
Hodgson Kaul was fat, bald, and in a gray academic robe. He sat on a high platform and watched the door, probably rarely moving, and he was covered with fat.
Arya felt vaguely uneasy, and came to see the manager, who went to Raven Island, could this be designed by the Faceless Ones?

Located in the middle of the Meada River, Raven Island has one of the oldest buildings in the school: the Raven Tower!
