Chapter 271 The Importance of Dragons

Star Shuttle City no longer exists.

Of course, in a physical sense, that pile of black ruins is called that.

Because they have nowhere to go.

But from a spiritual perspective, if the frightened Baker family did not come back to repair the city.

Then, Star Shuttle City, the castle that has accompanied the Peake family for a long time, and even this name, will no longer exist.

After venting his anger, Galesos licked his wounds that were no longer bleeding, and glanced contemptuously at the trembling people in the distance.

Flying northward.

It wants to go find its owner to play.

As for why.

It's also very simple. It's tired of playing with Drogon's three little guys, and it's also visited all the places in Dorne.

So, it felt that the world was so big and it wanted to see it.

It's gone, but its legend remains.

The fire from the sky brought by the dragon was interpreted by the farmers of the Peak family as retribution for the family's fear of war.

The dragon's attack on the Reach was spread in all directions by countless fast horses and ravens.

The great nobles need to know about this as soon as possible.

The threat of the dragon is not an ordinary army, it is part of a conventional war.

As a species that has conquered the sky, if there is no means to restrain the dragon, then in theory, as long as one dragon can burn all those who oppose it to ashes.

No matter whether you are a king or a duke, you are all the same under the dragon flames.

And this is precisely what the aristocratic nobles cannot accept.

Everyone is working hard to fight for titles and land, and suddenly you let out a giant dragon and overturn the table, which makes other poker players at the table anxious.

For this kind of thing, either we should deal with the person who flipped the table, or we should find a way to get chips of the same value as the dragon, set up the table and continue the game.

That's the rule.

…

It is four hundred miles northwest from the burned-to-ruins Star Shuttle City.

The core of the Reach, Highgarden City, known as the most beautiful castle in the entire Seven Kingdoms, ushered in its own ordinary morning.

Pedestrians wearing gorgeous and exquisite robes enjoy the comfortable temperature of the morning and the itchy morning light on their faces.

Most residents who can live in Highgarden City will not worry about clothes and food.

The rich natural resources of the Reach have pushed the city's living comfort to an almost abnormal status.

There are even a fair number of ornamental plants planted in the city.

In this situation, only the rich man from the river bend can do it.

In the North and Dorne, where living conditions are difficult, you can only see something similar in the gardens prepared by lords for their women.

But today, there is a faint air of uneasiness hanging over the blossoming High Garden City.

Pedestrians talking to each other on the street always look at the sky in the southeast inadvertently.

A rumor has spread throughout the city.

The Star Shuttle City in the southeast has been burned to ashes by the dragon of Daenerys Targaryen, the daughter of the Mad King.

Earl Peake of Star Shuttle City is missing.

Although most people in Highgarden don't believe this, they are still a little hesitant.

In this era, rumors sometimes spread faster than a letter on a raven's feet.

Although the superior men are already trying their best to block the news.

However, everyone living in Highgarden City knows that the Dornish barbarians in the south have taken refuge under the black-backed red dragon flag that came across the sea with the fire of revenge.

But now, the news that Star Shuttle City was burned down made them feel a little uneasy.

…

"Is this what you mean?"

In the Tyrell family castle, the fragrance of flowers permeates every corner of this place that is more like a garden.

But this does not affect at all, some words that cannot be put on the table are discussed here without restraint.

For example, in front of him was an old woman wearing a dark green robe and a gauze scarf, and an eunuch sitting opposite him, exuding a disgusting smell.

"Yes, this is what I mean. Of course, you can also think that this is what Prince Aegon means. It's the same."

The eunuch covered his mouth and chuckled. This was a very feminine gesture. If other people saw it, their scalps would definitely go numb.

But Olenna, the "Queen of Thorns" sitting in the chair, didn't respond at all.

After Galesos set Star Shuttle City on fire, the former intelligence chief who was supposed to stay at the Flesh Mill in King's Landing miraculously appeared in Highgarden City.

With a little bit of trickery, Varys made himself appear in Tyrell's castle in Highgarden City.

He didn't even go to the army to meet Mace Tyrell, the current Duke of Highgarden.

Duke "Inflatable Fish" is known to all seven countries as a trash, and talking to him will only be a waste of time.

That guy can do nothing but embroider beautiful roses all over his body.

After meeting Mrs. Olenna, the "Queen of Thorns", Varys got straight to the point and directly expressed his intention.

The dragon was out of control and had begun to bar its fangs at the glorious name Tyrell.

A crazy dragoness, Varys said of Daenerys.

And he claimed that he would bring a calm and wise male true dragon.

"Queen of Thorns" Olenna said that she still had to consider it. After all, her son, grandson, and granddaughter were all with Renly Baratheon.

And the surname Baratheon must be closely related to Targaryen.

Neither man seemed to remind the other that both sides were now technically enemies.

However, in the eyes of nobles or people who can talk to nobles.

There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies.

Only, eternal benefits.

"I would like to ask, Varys, even if my Tyrell family returns to the Red Dragon banner, there will still be a lot of troublesome things and troublesome people on this continent to deal with."

"You, your little king, and the governor of Pentos must show something to me. Otherwise, we won't dare to bet casually on this huge bet."

The "Queen of Thorns" flicked the delicate glass with her long nails, making a crisp sound.

The scarlet wine inside rippled, just like her mood now.

As the head of the entire Tyrell family, and even the Reach, she knew very well that the incident that her granddaughter and grandson initiated without telling their father had caused consequences to the Tyrell and Baratheon families. What a rift.

This cannot be bridged by Margaery Tyrell, who is still in perfect condition up to now.

Moreover, although Renly was forced to no longer compromise with Stannis, the aftermath of this incident was not done well.

The girl named Celine had no news of her death in the end.

This is the variable.

The "Queen of Thorns" is old, and what she dislikes the most is variables.

Upon hearing her words, Varys's fat chin moved down slightly.

He knew that if he didn't say something this time, there would be no chance to talk again the next time they meet.

This means that the conflict between Renly and Tyrell is irreparable.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even have a chance to come here to see the "Queen of Thorns".

"Renly... I can only say that we will handle it very cleanly and will not delay your precious granddaughter from marrying a good husband."

"What about Stannis? Once Renly dies, Stannis's throne will at least have the support of all the nobles of the Stormlands."

"Well, no, the Stormlands may temporarily stand behind Stannis. After all, he is the last crowned stag."

"But I assure you, madam, it is impossible for his subordinates to follow him sincerely without an heir."

"As long as they give us enough, they will chop off Stannis's head and give it to us."

The "Queen of Thorns" was just quietly sipping the red wine in her glass, noncommittal to Varys's words.

There has always been a doubt in her heart. Assuming that little Aegon is a real dragon, why doesn't he find his aunt, the female dragon entrenched in Dorne?

First of all, I haven’t heard that Daenerys has a husband. Isn’t the Targaryen family most interested in blood?

Secondly, even if you don't take into account those dragons, even if it is conventional military strength, the news sent from Dorne is that more than 30,000 people are already stationed in the south.

This is not much worse than our own.

And listening to what Varys meant today, it's not so bad. The two dragons are going to have an internal fight first?

What are they planning?

Wallis didn't know what the "Queen of Thorns" was thinking. In fact, he was full of bitterness.

Originally, Daenerys Targaryen was the wife prepared for Aegon by Varys and Governor Illyrio.

As long as he finds a way to control this woman and use her womb, Aegon's descendants can also control dragons. After that, Aegon's bloodline will not be a problem.

But the problem is, things quickly got out of control. The Dragon King appeared out of nowhere, making Governor Illyrio realize that he was in big trouble.

At first, he tried his best to hide the news about Daenerys Targaryen, but because he could not control all of Pentos, the dragon king finally learned the news.

Then, the Dragon King disappeared, and the news came again that Astapor had fallen and the dragon flag was raised again.

At that time, King's Landing was in chaos, Varys couldn't protect himself, and Illyrio couldn't handle it on his own, and was forced into a corner by the aggressive Prince Oberon.

When everything settled down, they were shocked to find that Daenerys Targaryen was no longer in Essos.

Behind the red dragon flag on a black background, the flag of Sunspear fluttered in the wind.

And it happened that Tywin Lannister used the ultimate family-changing tactic, which gave Varys the opportunity to contact his intelligence network in the south again.

Upon questioning, it turned out that the blue-gold dragon was in Sunspear City.

This made him stare blankly.

Although Daenerys did not announce it, both Varys and Illyrio knew that the husband of the Dragon Queen must be the Dragon King.

This is troublesome.

On their side, the only competitiveness is their carefully packaged Aegon Targaryen.

However, he cannot control the dragon.

What's fake is fake.

With such a dragon king beside Daenerys Targaryen, their little Aegon is no longer necessary.

Moreover, someone sent a team over to inspect the goods and the whole thing was revealed.

Varys and Illyrio originally thought of finding a way to kill this dragon king.

In this case, they still have a chance.

But the problem is, no matter how many people are sent to Dorne, the news that comes back is the same.
