Chapter 426 Spy
When Meath Toyne escorted a diminutive prisoner in, Rhaenys was sitting in a study in Dragonstone Castle reading a book with relish.
This used to be Viserys' living room, and there are still many things that Viserys left behind.
After Stannis occupied Dragonstone, he did not clean up these books and handwriting, but left them here. Stannis also regarded this room as his study, and there were many traces of him left in it.
Even among the many books that Viserys flipped through, there was Stannis' comment below his notes and handwriting.
Including many words that Stannis could not understand were also marked, showing deep doubts from the tone of the words.
Stannis didn't recognize what the small square words were, but he could guess that it might be a word that indicated some meaning.
He commissioned Maester Cressen, who was with him on Dragonstone, to study what the script was.
Bachelor Cressen also attached great importance to it, and specially 'painted' these square characters according to the gourd painting, but there were some strange things in the painting.
Then I wrote a letter and sent a letter to the Xuecheng, asking for help to see if I could find some kind of information.
Maester Cressen's letter has aroused widespread interest among the old scholastics in the Academy, because although they have learned from ancient and modern, they have never seen this kind of writing.
They can judge from some clues that these should be words that carry some kind of information.
As a result, a unique landscape was formed in the Xuecheng. A group of gray-haired doctors and their apprentices immersed themselves in reading materials in the library.
There are a lot of books in the Xuecheng, and the doctors also have a desire to know, but unfortunately, they have searched all the records and have not found any records about this unique language.
However, I found a record about the high nobles of Valyria in a book. The author of the book was a person more than a thousand years ago.
The origins of the high Valyrian nobles are unknown. No one knows how this nation suddenly rose and why they suddenly found a way to control the dragon.
And this "dragon-fighting technique" seems to exist only among the oldest nobles, and their blood can resonate with the dragon.
The author of this book speculates that there must be some kind of elusive secret between these high Valyrian nobles, and this secret may be able to solve the reason why they are able to control the dragon.
Therefore, according to the records in this book, a doctor boldly speculated that this may be a unique communication method between the oldest nobles of Valyria, a special language.
He was willing to be named 'Morath Language' after himself, but unfortunately he was stopped by other doctors.
And Stannis marked Viserys' mysterious note with the words suspected of being the First Men.
The girl with long brown hair was wearing a gorgeous Sora dress and a golden crown on her head. She was bathed in the sunlight from the windowsill, her delicate chin was raised slightly, and she was holding the book in her white hands while looking at it with relish.
She just finished some military affairs today, and another batch of grain and supplies arrived at Dragonstone Island from Pantos.
After the Targaryen army occupied Dragonstone, although they temporarily cooperated against the White Walkers, they did not immediately send troops to attack King's Landing.
However, Renice did not stop during this period, but continued to build a military transportation channel from Pentos to Dragonstone.
Thanks to the frequent trade between the two places, this route is the main trade route with the most frequent trade between Westeros and Essos, and it is not very difficult to build a supply channel.
Renice also received a letter from her uncle today. The Second Legion led by Oberyn had arrived at the port of Pantos and was ready to board the ship and leave Pantos for Westeros. Now it may be on the way.
And at this time.
There was a rush of footsteps outside the study in the castle, and an Unsullied soldier standing outside the study door stopped them, then pushed the door and walked in to report.
"your Highness."
It turned out to be the head of the Golden Regiment, Mies Toin. The soldiers of the Golden Regiment caught nine spies who had sneaked close to landing on Dragonstone Island in a small boat on the beach of Dragonstone Island.
They were wearing tattered clothes, all of which had been soaked by sea water. After they were slightly dried, there was still a thin layer of salt crystals twisted together on the clothes. All of them had yellow faces and thin skin, and their hair was messy like a bird's nest.
The boat they were on was too small, so they escaped the inspection of the Dragonstone Island fleet. However, they did not expect that the boat accidentally hit the reef and leaked when approaching Dragonstone Island, and all the people on the boat were soaked in the sea water.
Then he was forced to abandon the boat and jumped into the sea to swim towards the coast that was not far away. Fortunately, a few people were lucky and they swam to the shore smoothly, and only half of them were left on the beach. Life.
Their luck ran out, however, and a patrol of Golden Regiment soldiers spotted them and took them to the regiment commander.
Then Mies Toyne asked one of them to meet Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess at the castle of Dragonstone Island after asking about his identity.
"spy?"
And the girl who was bathing in the sunshine on the windowsill heard Mies Toin's words and put down the book in her hand slightly, and looked over with a pair of beautiful eyes.
This is the second spy accident in recent times. Last time, a person claiming to be a representative of the Lannister family wanted to lobby the Golden Company to betray Targaryen, and directly took Reness as a hostage and threatened Wesse. Reese's retreat.
However, what the Lannister representative didn't know was that Dragonstone Castle was heavily guarded and difficult to attack. The 2,000 Unsullied were Princess Rhaenys' personal guard guarding all parts of the castle. Solid as a soup.
Even if 10,000 soldiers of the Golden Corps betrayed, it would be difficult to storm the castle on Dragonstone Island, not to mention Reness and the help of the dragon, even if the battle is unfavorable, she can ride the dragon to escape at any time.
So the intrigue of House Lannister is fundamentally impossible.
And in front of him is the 'spy' who was brought over by Mies Toin.
Renice blinked, the other party's height seemed to be only the size of a child, his legs were stubby and his face was not good-looking, his eyes were black and blue, and what was particularly striking was that his head was a little unsightly. Proportionally large.
The brown-haired girl sat in her place, the golden crown above her head reflected light slightly, and then she couldn't help but blurt out.
"Why is your head so big?"
