Chapter 279 King of Light
In the end, Lu Xuan and Daenerys brought back only nine adult pterosaurs, plus twenty-two dragon eggs. The rest of the pterosaurs were bitten to death by Drogon and Viserion in the battle. There was no way, it would be good for these two guys to show mercy. It would be good if they could leave nine pterosaurs. If they could use their temperament, they would have been bitten to death long ago.
"We need to go back immediately and set up a suitable venue. These dragon eggs have begun to show magical reactions. As the magic of this world recovers, their hidden bloodlines are awakening. One day in the future, they will become powerful weapons of war."
This expedition did not achieve the expected results, and it obtained more than thirty adult pterosaurs. However, these dragon eggs were an extra gain.
Lu Xuan found a lot of magic similar to contract magic in the Fire of Wisdom. There are actually not many useful ones, but fortunately, these pterosaurs have not made any sound yet. For those who practice magic and martial arts like Lu Xuan and Daenerys, they are basically just randomly playing with it.
During this period, Balistan came to report on his job. In addition to being the captain of the Royal Guard, he also participated in some government affairs. After all, his staff was limited and his character was trustworthy, so he was also a person who held important positions in Daenerys's team.
"So far, we have been warned more than twenty times. All of them are from the great slave owners of the nine free city-states. However, they have not yet had large-scale military mobilizations. I have arranged a group of spies to go to various city-states to find out the news. They seem to be hesitating."
"Hesitation is of course. Few of the great nobles who have been comfortable for hundreds of years are really willing to fight. But don't let go of their vigilance. Fighting is everywhere. Those emerging aristocratic groups are very likely to take this opportunity to take over. Pay attention to the members of the parliament of the city-state. Once they have a change of leadership or a large-scale personnel change, it should be the beginning of their attack."
"It makes sense. Sir Lu, your wisdom is always so amazing."
"It's just some basic inferences. Looking at the thousands of years of history of human civilization, there is almost no political change. Unless there is some irresistible external force to break it."
Balistan did not respond to Lu Xuan's topic, but reported another thing.
"There have been some red robe sacrifices in the city recently. They are said to be believers of the King of Light. They treat some poor people in the city and promote the faith of the King of Light. Many people have begun to believe in them."
Lu Xuan's face changed slightly.
"How many of them are there?"
"There are six priests in total. They are all women."
Before Lu Xuan could speak, Daenerys, who was beside him, spoke first.
"Expel them all."
"What? Your Majesty, although I am a believer of the Seven Gods, these sacrifices of the King of Light have not done anything evil. On the contrary, they are saving the people, we..."
"To convene all ministers of government, we will hold a meeting. I am ready to implement a new law. From today on, no new religious intervention is allowed within my rule. I will retain and respect the original religious beliefs. But those who hold offices in religion will not be able to hold any public office in my empire.
This is the basic regulations of this law. Call other government officials to perfect the law, and then promote it immediately. My people do not need a group of believers of unknown origin to help. Next, I will introduce enough welfare policies to help the lower class people get rid of hunger. But if they want to live a wealthy life, they must work."
Sir Balistan said a little, looking like he wanted to say something. But perhaps Daenerys' cold temperament shocked him slightly. In the end, he did not say anything and directly executed the order.
"Paipa..." Lu Xuan clapped and said.
"It's very good, Daenerys. Your performance just now is such a perfect queen."
"I didn't think so much, I just thought that the Dragon King, who was in the era of the Liberty Fortress of Valyria, rejected Rahlo. I think there must be a reason for them."
Daenerys is right. They found some details of life about the Dragon King in the Age of Free Fortress in some classics in these cities. For example, some key places of Free Fortress were illuminated by magic. There was no trace of shadow in all corners. Because shadows were a symbol of evil to them.
Simply put, they rejected the King of Light Rahlo (although this guy is known as the King of Light, the main god position should be a shadow, and the position of Light God should be its appeal, but he has not been fully obtained).
"Yes, it is said that the King of Light has shown many miracles in Westeros. Even Stannis Baratheon has become its believer. From this aspect alone, this guy is absolutely unreliable."
"Yes, I remember the teacher's teaching. The best destination for any religion that tries to interfere with politics is to completely disappear."
"It seems I don't need to remind you. Take a few days off, our next adventure will be on the agenda."
This adventure did not leave the scope of the Ersos continent. In addition to hunting pterosaurs, it was more of a practical test. It tested Drogon and others' ability, load-bearing, and combat effectiveness for long-distance flights. Now that the test has been basically completed, Lu Xuan felt that it was time to go to Westeros.
As for the siege of the nine free city-states, Lu Xuan relaxed on the surface, but in fact he had already prepared in full swing. A large number of new wildfire alchemy bombs have begun to be reserved. Even if those winged dragons cannot learn to airdrop in the end, they are a first-class weapon to defend the city.
In the city of Astabo, there were several torches burning, and surrounded by a young and beautiful woman in red robe.
At this time, she was standing on the platform, vigorously promoting the faith of the King of Light. It was very interesting. All the things she preached were very positive. For example, everyone should treat others well and abide by the law. It sounds like a very positive church.
But after listening for a while, Lu Xuan discovered that the priestess can be called the King of Light. The King of Light is the only true god, and all other gods are heretics...
When I saw the Monarchy, I didn’t need to say anything, and I was done with it.
