Chapter 242 The remains of the dragon, when the conquest is in progress(1/2)
Linhemen is called Lannimen by city residents because it is close to the river and filled with countless vendors selling all kinds of fish.
Infested day and night, coupled with the lowest terrain, the filth of the city for hundreds of years has been circulated here.
This is the smelliest place in King's Landing.
The troops coming from the north arrived at Mud Gate immediately.
Robert originally wanted to ask Zhang Yuan whether the city was grand, but who knew that what he got was a really bad answer.
Robert was very angry at these words.
"Seven hells! There are a million people here."
Zhang Jin directly retorted in a slightly unfamiliar Westerosi: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, even if this city has a population of 10 million, it cannot hide the fact that King's Landing stinks! This is the smelliest thing I have ever seen.
city."
Robert laughed loudly: "I have never seen a city that can accommodate ten million people."
Zhang Jin shrugged: "There is no such thing as Westeros. Our hometown has many cities with tens of millions of dollars."
King's Landing has a permanent population of 500,000, and millions of people are flocking to work in King's Landing. King's Landing cannot accommodate that large population.
Just like the ancient city, many people built their homes outside King's Landing.
Although these homes are the most vulnerable to destruction when faced with military disasters, they are the shelter for the people at the bottom!
"This is a really good joke." Robert directly rode his horse into King's Landing through other city gates.
Although Robert also felt that Mud Door and Flea Bottom were super smelly, he didn't want to hear bad words about his King's Landing from outsiders.
It's a pity that Robert is looking for help from Zhang Jin at this moment and doesn't want to fall out with him!
"Since you have a city that can accommodate tens of millions of people, you must have more advanced management experience. You can tell Ed about this."
Zhang Jin smiled and nodded: "Then can we get some dragon bones as reward?"
"Whatever you want, just move all those broken bones away!"
Zhang Jin smiled and said: "Thank you very much, Your Majesty!"
I was worried about how to obtain the dragon bones as research materials, but I didn't expect that after a simple test, Robert said something disgusting.
Robert led a large army and walked into King's Landing proudly.
Most of the people around him chose to kneel on the ground.
Zhang Jin glanced at Chen Mu, who was playing the role of a minion next to him.
Later, the soldiers and the Stormland soldiers returned one after another.
Robert took his family and Lannister soldiers into King's Landing through the Gate of the Gods next to the Mud Gate.
Compared to the lower class people in Flea Bottom in the Mud Gate area, things are better here at the Gods Gate.
The stench that fills the air here is not that strong.
Enter the Gate of the Gods, pass by the Street of Steel, then pass through the Great Sept of Baelor, and then arrive at the Red Keep.
Because there were only eleven people on Chen Mu's side, Robert directly arranged for them to live in the Prime Minister's Tower with Ed and others.
Ed didn't have time to rest, so he was called to a meeting inside the Red Keep.
Chen Mu had just put everything away and washed up when he saw Barristan, the royal guard, coming.
Barristan has good moral character and admires the strong. He has been on good terms with Zhang Yuan and the others these days.
After sending Barristan here, King Robert must have gone to drink wine.
"Your Majesty asked me to take you to the crypt to find the discarded dragon bones."
"Thank you Sir Tan."
Barristan smiled and said, "This is what I should do."
Over the past few days, he has learned a lot of swordsmanship from Zhang Jin's side, and his personal combat effectiveness has directly improved a lot.
"I want to go too!" The energetic Arya also came over carrying her own little sewing needle.
Zhang Jin nodded helplessly: "Okay, let's take one piece."
The Red Keep was built by Aegon the Conqueror, the first king of the Targaryen family.
The Red Fort is built of light red stone and has seven huge iron-roofed drum towers.
Thick walls surround the castle, and there are countless bunkers and battlements on the walls for archers to shoot.
Thick stone guardrails, some more than one meter high, protect the edge of the city wall.
The city wall has huge bronze gates and iron portcullises, as well as some narrow side entrances.
The throne of the emperor, the Iron Throne, is located inside the Red Keep.
In addition to this, there are also party halls inside the Red Fort, including the Great Hall and the Queen Mother's Ballroom.
Such a complex and luxurious fortress, integrating military and civilian buildings, was not completed until the second generation of King Maegor I.
The construction of the Red Fort took half a century.
After it was completed during the reign of the cruel King Maegor I, in order to ensure his own safety, he built dense roads.
After the construction of the secret passage was completed, he directly killed all the construction workers to prevent the secrets inside the castle from being revealed.
These secret passages were eventually captured by Varys and used as a source of information.
The crypt where the dragon bones are stacked is a complex basement outside the Iron Throne.
Barristan led everyone through the dark tunnel and arrived at the dusty warehouse crypt.
Chen Mu and others saw the dragon bones that had been lying there for more than ten years and were covered with dust.
Looking at the huge dragon skull in front of them, Zhang Jin and others took a deep breath.
Chen Mu swallowed his saliva in disappointment!
The torches were lit one by one, and everything in the crypt was illuminated one by one.
Countless dusty dragon bones were exposed.
The keels are arranged from small to large.
The smallest keel was only the size of a lamb, and they were discarded and piled on top of each other.
Walking inside, the largest dragon's head is more than three meters high. The length of its head is even more than 6 meters.
This guy was able to swallow a cow in one mouthful when he was alive. He was definitely not joking.
And this dragon is bigger than Daenerys's dragon in the later part of the TV series.

Chen Mu felt that he had stepped on a foreign object.
Lifting his feet, he picked up the thick calcified scales and looked at them carefully!
Dragon scales are slightly rough, similar to crocodile scales. They are very light.
Chen Mu needed force to break it.
Based on the fact that this dragon has been calcified for more than 150 years, its scales can at least withstand pistol attacks.
"As long as the dragon's body is not covered with magic, large heavy weapons should be able to kill the dragon!" Chen Mu felt relieved.
He wondered how the meat of such a big guy would taste.
I don't know if it will taste good after adding cumin spices. Or will it taste like crocodile meat?
While Zhang Jin and others looked at the Juling skeleton curiously, the young Arya was also looking at the giant dragon skeleton stupidly.
Seeing the surprised expressions of Zhang Jin and others, and seeing Arya poking the dragon bone with her hand in the north, Barristan showed a trace of nostalgia on his face!
He explained: "This is Belerys, the Black Death. It is the largest dragon of the Targaryen family. It is a full 150 meters long and has lived for more than 200 years. Unfortunately, the dragon has been extinct for 150 years.
For more than ten years, if it had not been for His Majesty Aerys to resurrect the dragon, this would not have happened..."
Barristan didn't want to talk any more.
Dragons are magical creatures, regardless of male or female. When the time comes, they will give birth to dragon eggs by themselves.
But since the dragons became extinct, the Targaryen king was stunned.
They made a lot of preparations in order to hatch the dragon. There was a tragedy in Summer Hall where King Targaryen burned himself to death along with the dragon egg in order to hatch the dragon.
Arya blinked and asked curiously: "Ser, are dragons really extinct?"
Barristan nodded: "Yes, it has disappeared for more than a hundred years. No one has ever said that they have seen the dragon in these years!"
"If there were dragons, the Targaryen dynasty would not be destroyed!"
"Is dragon meat delicious?" Chen Mu suddenly asked after he came back to his senses.
Barristan looked at Zhang Jin's guard in confusion: "Huh? What did you say?"
Chen Mu looked at Barristan, grinned and said, "Have you ever eaten dragon meat?"
