Game of Thrones' opening sold the gods

71. Chapter 70
"The living dragon is incredible, how does he have four legs?" Wade has seen portraits of dragons in books.

"Apollo is an ancient true dragon, and Valyrian dragons are the product of blood magic, or so."

Theon couldn't explain it clearly. According to Theon's previous knowledge, there are two main versions of Valyrian dragons.

The first theory is that a Valyrian shepherd boy picked up a dragon egg and developed into the first dragon family ever since.

The second theory is that the Valyrians used blood magic to create a creature called a dragon, which is said to be a combination of Sothros' pterosaur and a salamander.

But there has never been a reasonable explanation for how the dragons in Valyria came about.

Looking at the 20-meter behemoth in front of him, Wade felt for the first time that Theon's rule of Westeros was not a dream, but an ideal!

"He is only four years old, and in another 20 years, I don't know how old he will be. He will be the guardian of the future empire." Theon said confidently.

"Of course it must be!"

Tiewei's work efficiency is very high. In just two days, Apollo's cave has an extra simple house and several maids.

As the elite armed forces of Fort Pike, the iron guards are similar to the guards of the ancient imperial city. The number has been expanded to 2000, all of whom are the elite of the army.

Melisandre looked at the iron guards coming and going, and felt very uncomfortable. She came to see Theon Greyjoy before, thinking that she would be taken seriously, but Theon just placed her in Fort Pike.

And Melisandre understood that Theon was putting herself under house arrest, and she didn't understand why Theon would do this.

Anyone who knows that he is the savior chosen by the gods from the mouth of the god priest will not show disdain and contempt like Theon.

She also told Theon about her thoughts, and asked Theon if he didn't want to be the savior?

And Sean's answer is very simple, Sean told her: If you tell me in my ear that "I am destined to live forever", then I may really not be able to stand your temptation, but the savior you mentioned, then It's so low!
Melisandre didn't understand what it meant to be "destined to live forever", and Theon didn't tell her.

There was no way she could just live in Fort Pike.

But the past two days in Fort Pike were very strange. A large number of iron guards were mobilized to the outskirts of the back garden. It was said that Queen Selina was pregnant.

But few people know why the queen moved to the back garden to live after she became pregnant.

Melisandre walked slowly to the back garden, or the gate of the Sun Garden. The iron gate here was closed tightly, and there were several iron guards in full armor at the gate.

"Melisandre, what are you looking at?" Theon's voice came from behind.

"The fire element inside is abundant, like a little sun." Melisandre looked at Theon curiously, hoping that Theon could answer her doubts.

"Go in and sit down, it's beautiful inside."

Theon leads Melisandre into the Sun Garden.

The interior of the Sun Garden is full of various plants, as if returning to nature in an instant, and there is a raised hill in the garden that looks very abrupt.

The main thing is that there is a huge hole under the semicircular mountain peak, which makes people curious.

At this moment, Myrcella is talking with Selena about the matters needing attention in pregnancy.

Looking at Myrcella who was holding a small notebook and telling the precautions in a serious manner, a trace of tenderness and happiness flashed in Selena's eyes.

She was a kind little girl herself, looking forward to marrying an honest little nobleman, but her angelic beauty made her understand that sooner or later she would become her father's marriage tool.

When she learned that she was going to marry to the Iron Islands, she was someone else's second woman, and she was very scared at that time.

She also knew that she was powerless to resist, so she could only pray day and night that she could spend the rest of her life in peace and stability. After all, the Iron Islands had a poor reputation until now.

It's just that in the past it was because of robbery, but now it's because the business is too treacherous, which is no different from robbery in another way.

Especially in the Free Trade Cities, the most disgusting thing is the merchants in the Iron Islands and the Riverlands, but the soap, glass, refined salt and other luxuries in their hands are really good.

Perhaps it was Selena's prayers that helped. Husband Theon and sister Mysella are very easy to get along with, which makes Selena cherish the present life very much.

Especially after she was pregnant, facing Theon and Myrcella's concern, Selena felt as happy as falling into a honeypot.

"Aunt Melisandre, you are here, tell Sister Selena your fantasy adventure story!" Myrcella saw Melisandre coming, and immediately asked her to start telling the story.

"Of course, queens."

After putting the one in his hand on the table, Theon walked into the cave alone.

Melisandre looked towards the cave while telling what she had seen and heard.

"Queen Myrcella, what's in that cave?" Melisandre decided to ask the youngest Myrcella for information.

"What's the matter?" Myrcella asked curiously, she didn't understand why Melisandre suddenly asked about the cave.

"I am a fire magician, and I am very sensitive to the fire element. The fire element in that cave is very abundant, so I am a little curious."

"His Majesty's eldest son lives in it, and I live in it too." Selena said first, without revealing much.

Myrcella also nodded in agreement. They are kind and gentle, but they are not short-sighted. Kindness ≠ IQ.

Melisandre saw that the two were unwilling to elaborate, so she didn't ask any further questions. She could vaguely feel that there was a terrifying creature living below.

Just being able to emit such a strong fire element around it made Melisandre marvel at the power of this creature.

Perhaps this is where Theon's confidence lies in his indifference to the White Walkers.

However, the strength of the Night King must be the most powerful moment in history, and she is still a little worried. She thinks it is better for Theon to unify Westeros quickly.

Theon also wants to unify Westeros as soon as possible, but this requires an opportunity. At the same time, Theon wants to gradually erode the countries of Westeros, and implement reforms for every piece of land that is eaten.

This is easier and more convenient for Theon's subsequent reforms.

If Westeros is only governed by force, then subsequent reforms will be frustrated at times.

And Sean is ready to take action against the northern border. The nobles in the northern border are the most stubborn. If they want to control the northern border, it will take a lot of effort.

But Theon felt his chance had come.

It is now July of AC303, and the grain harvest in the northern border was in short supply in the first half of the year.

Coupled with the occasional battles between Bolton and Stark, life in the North is now very difficult.

At the same time, Theon ordered that the grain in the Hejian Land is not allowed to be sold privately, and all the grain that the Hejian Land wants to sell will be purchased by the court at the market price.

At the same time, Theon also blocked White Harbor, which made the lives of people in the northern border extremely difficult. At the same time, there were a large number of homeless refugees. These refugees wandered in the northern border, and they would rob other people's food whenever they had the opportunity.

So Theon felt that the time had come. The poor farmers in the north needed a wise leader to lead them to live without starvation.

At the same time, the north is vast and sparsely populated, and the south has a large number of grasslands. Whether it is planting disaster-resistant wheat or farming, it is very good.

As for the nobles in the northern border, those who are obedient will farm and grow food for Theon, and those who are disobedient will be used as pasture nourishment.

Theon doesn't mind killing more northern nobles, the more disobedient ones, the better.
