Chapter 70 Those Strange Relatives: Saint Baelor
Baelor Targaryen, known as "Baelor Blessed by God", is the king of the Seven Kingdoms, but he is a devout believer in the Seven Gods. What
impressed Dany the most was that Saint Baelor built a tower called "Virgin House" in the Red Keep.
What is the Virgin House specifically used for?
Imprisoning his sister.
The Targaryens have a tradition of brother-sister marriage, but this kind of incestuous behavior is strictly prohibited by the teachings of the Seven Gods.
So, Baelor abolished his engagement with his sister Diana, and even made a monk's oath: to remain a virgin forever and never marry again.
This is nothing, the emperor has become a monk and he is not the only one.
The pitfall is that his three sisters Diana, Rhaena and Elana are all young, beautiful, lovely and moving, and they have the beauty of Targaryen bloodline.
Then, Baelor is a normal man, and he has sexual desires for them.
But he is too pious and has become the archbishop of the Church of the Seven Gods.
Beile frantically suppressed his desires. In order to reject the lustful temptations of his sisters (the sisters had black question mark faces), he built a high tower in the palace - the Virgin Residence, and locked his three sisters in it."Witch, don't seduce this holy monk!"
He neither touched them nor allowed other men to touch them, claiming that it was to protect their innocence from being polluted by men's lust and the evil in the world.
As for Beile's character, he might not have lied, and he really thought so in his heart.
He and his sisters went to heaven in holiness.
Later, Saint Baelor declared that the trade of surnames was illegal and expelled all prostitutes and their children from King's Landing. He believed that everyone was equal under the Seven Gods and asked a noble earl to wash the feet of lepers. In order to communicate with the gods and understand the true meaning of the Seven Gods' teachings, he often "retreated and practiced" - locking himself in the temple, praying without eating or drinking, and finally starved to death!
There are many more deeds of Saint Baelor. It can almost be said that the Seven Gods = Christianity, Saint Baelor = Saint Peter (the first of the twelve apostles of Jesus), and burning books on magic knowledge is just child's play for him.
"Alas, it's a pity. Knowledge is priceless and innocent." Dany sighed.
The maid Jhiqui, who had been listening, spoke up, "Khaleesi, dragons came out of the moon."
"Oh?" Dany was amused and asked with a smile, "You also know about the origin of dragons?"
The centaur girl frowned and said seriously, "Originally, there were two moons in the sky. One moon was too close to the sun and could not withstand the high temperature. It broke like an egg and millions of dragons rushed out of it."
"Everyone knows it." After she finished speaking, she hurriedly added.
"Haha, do you know how far the moon is from the earth? Dragons will never reach the ground in their lifetime, and the environment outside the sky is too harsh for dragons to survive." Dany shook her head repeatedly.
Suddenly, she had an idea and asked, "Everyone knows this legend?"
"Even the people of Qarth know it." Jhiqui said quickly.
Dany glanced at Jorah, Whitebeard, and Belwas and asked, "Do you know it?"
"I don't know." Jorah and Whitebeard shook their heads.
"I have heard such myths and legends in Meereen." The fat eunuch scratched his head and said uncertainly.
Dany fell into deep thought. The Dothraki, Qarth, and Meeringith were three nations with different beliefs and cultures. If there was one thing that they all agreed on, then there must be some truth in the legend.
What if there really were two moons?
This does not violate celestial kinematics. There shouldn't be too many planets with multiple satellites. On the contrary, there are very few planets with only one satellite like the Earth.
What if one moon disappeared? Or, is the star close to the sun really the moon?
What if it is another star that is farther away?
The most famous feature of the Trisolarian system: the seasons of the planets are completely irregular.
This Well, Dany thought too much. Even if the "second moon" is really a star, there are only two stars, one less than a triple star system.
However, the binary star system seems to be able to hope that what the great wizard of Valyria said is true. There are gods in this world. Finally, the green prophet is as buggy as in the plot. I may be able to find the truth of the world from them.
As soon as this thought came up, she laughed at herself again. Even if she understood the operation of this galaxy, what would it mean to her?
The fleet stayed in New Ghis for three days. On the fourth day, the sails were fully inflated. At the command of Captain Grolai, the thick iron anchor was "creaking" and dragged out of the sea by the capstan.
The fleet continued to sail westward, leaving the small New Ghis behind.
Before leaving, they only sent a small boat to buy some fruits, vegetables and medicines from the harbor.
"The black dragon hasn't come back yet, do we really not have to wait for it?" Blackbeard looked around for a while and asked Dany worriedly.
Big Black seemed to look down on Little White and Little Green. The top student in the rocket class dissed the poor student?
He has always been a loner. In the past few days, he has been poaching goats and fat cattle in the interior of Bane Island - livestock raised by the people of New Ghis.
Little White and Little Green's endurance is far inferior to Big Black. They dare not fly too far away from Dany, and can only catch flying fish jumping out of the sea near the sea ship.
"No need to wait, the dragon can sense my location, and he will come to me by himself." Dany said.
Since the Temple of Dust "ate" a spirit of faith (a demigod), Dahei's wisdom has increased, and his size has also grown rapidly, like crops sown with golden kela.
However, growing up requires a lot of food. The supplies on the ship are limited, so Dahei can only go out to hunt!
Sure enough, two days later, the sailors on the deck suddenly felt a dark sky, as if a large dark cloud covered the clear sky. When they looked up, they couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and fear.
The black dragon, as big as a pony, spread its wings, which were ten meters long and four or five meters wide.
He suddenly folded his wings, and his body swooped down like a missile, screaming, "whoosh!"
The water splashed in a beautiful arc. The amount of water was not large, enough to win a gold medal in a diving competition.
"Gulp gulp!"
White water vapor and black smoke rolled in the blue sea water, and this small area of the sea was like a boiling pot.
After half a minute, "Boom!"
The sea water exploded more than ten meters high, and a black shadow suddenly emerged. "Flutter, flutter", the big black whale spread its wings, hovered four or five meters above the sea surface, shook off the water droplets on its wings, and then "hiss" and flew into the sky.
Qiao La had been lying on the side of the boat looking down, and wondered: "What is it doing? Taking a bath?"
Before he finished speaking, a bucket of white slowly floated up from the deep blue seabed. It was a 15-meter-long fat-headed white whale, with its belly turned upside down, its latex-white head burnt and tattered, black blood flowing, and a mess.
"Seven layers of hell!" Knight Jorah exclaimed loudly, saying in disbelief: "The black dragon actually hunted a sea monster."
Dany said unhappily: "How could you think it was a sea monster? This is a whale, the most docile large marine animal."
"But the black dragon is less than half a year old. When he is a hundred years old, he will definitely be able to kill the sea monster easily." Jorah said seriously: "It seems that the legend is true. The dragon feeds on sea monsters."
"Oh, the seven gods bless you, the black dragon killed a big whale!" The sailor shouted loudly, and soon a large circle of people gathered around the side of the ship.
"Quickly put down the hook, a sailor, go down and drag the whale." Grolai looked sideways for a while and saw that the whale's body was about to fall behind the stern.
Dany sent away the three eager dragons and asked the sailors to cut the huge whale's body into pieces. Then, she stood at the stern, picked up a piece of bloody whale meat from the wood, and threw it into the sky.
"Hiss--boom!"
A column of fire spurted out of Big Black's mouth, and the whale meat was almost instantly charred. Before the fish piece fell, Big Black's mouth full of sharp teeth caught it.
She bent down to take another piece of meat from the bucket and repeated the previous action. Little White and Little Green fought each other while competing for food.
"Princess, Princess!" Jorah stuck his head out of the bridge fence and waved to Dany at the stern from a distance.
Dany gave the task of feeding the dragon to Quaixi, washed the blood on her hands with sea water in the wooden barrel hanging on the side of the ship, and walked quickly to the high platform on the third floor.
Apart from Dany herself, the closest person to the three-headed dragon was the centaur warrior Quaixi.
Dragon feeders can establish friendly relations with dragons.
Dany appointed Quaixi as a dragon guard, so naturally she couldn't let the dragon hurt him, so she often gave him the task of feeding the dragon.
This Saiduliong is a bit like the big treasure ship that Zheng He used to sail to the West in the early Ming Dynasty, with a bigger belly than the Spanish galleon.
However, the shape of the bridge is a bit like that of a sailing ship, with an open-air platform that can command the helmsman and the raising and lowering of the sails.
The strong man Belvos squatted on the side and ate a skewer. The greasy and browned charcoal-grilled whale meat was greasy. The front of the narrow studded vest was stained with a lot of oil, but he didn't care at all and continued to eat happily. Jorah, Grol, and Whitebeard looked solemn, as if they had quarreled before.
"Your Highness, there is still a day's journey to the Valyrian Sea. We must change course immediately!" He said seriously.
He has discussed this matter with Dany many times. Although Dany agreed with his idea of buying the Unsullied in Slaver's Bay, she has never asked Grol to change direction.
"Your Highness, Governor Illyrio and the people of the Seven Kingdoms are waiting for you!" Grol frowned and advised.
He is not stupid. Knight Jorah definitely did not just come up with the idea of going to the Slaver's Bay. Maybe the princess has known about it for a long time.
"Your Highness, you are the real queen. Now the kings of Westeros are fighting each other, all industries are in ruins, and the people are living in misery. We are waiting for you to set things right." Whitebeard also persuaded.
Dany looked at them hesitantly and asked Jorah, "What do you think?"
"Hehe." Sir Jorah looked at Whitebeard and sneered, "These days, you have perfectly demonstrated your wisdom and experience to Her Highness the Princess. You even know about dragons. Why are you pretending to be stupid and encouraging Her Highness to go to Westeros to die?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Whitebeard's white beard was almost standing up in anger.
"Humph, with your knowledge, don't you understand that Her Highness the Princess has no capital to compete for hegemony except for three immature dragons and the reputation of Targaryen?"
