There were only tens of thousands of women left in Tyrosh originally. Among the subsequent immigrants were those with families and a large number of singles. In the past one or two years, they have been at the peak of their fertility period.
The cries of babies can be heard in many places in the city, and most of the young parents are busy with work. The first nursery in Westeros appeared in Tyrosh, followed by the second and third one in the city.
Open in succession.
One of them was funded by Werther. It has the best maids and the most experienced women to take care of the children. The food is also the best. Many children of wealthy businessmen and knights are sent here. The other nurseries are all other nurseries.
It was founded by nobles and businessmen, and was issued a special order after Witte inspected the site and inspectors. It mainly supplies the children of small businessmen, soldiers and craftsmen in the city.
There is also an orphanage directly under the Duke of Tyrosh, which contains orphans from King's Landing. Women in the entertainment industry also gave birth to many children. According to custom, they will be raised by the venue manager and continue to work when they grow up, but Witte
It is ordered that these boys or girls must come to the Duke's Government Office when they reach 12 years old and choose their future career according to their own wishes. Once the administrator is found to dare to force or coerce these children, they will be beheaded immediately.
Werther was dealing with government affairs in the morning. He had just read the latest list of Tyrosi babies and was about to go to lunch when he saw three little maids holding three children in the corridor, followed by a large group of people, including Que Lizard.
Inside, Werther asked: "Where are you going?"
"It's Master Werther. There are two new wet nurses in the castle. They have just finished drinking milk and are now taking them back to the bedroom."
"Oh, why has the person changed again?" Werther was very surprised.
The three little maids laughed and said: "The previous people, Darkseid and Sauron, cried when they drank milk. Today, we have two young people."
"These two boys! You know how to pick people at such a young age, and you will be able to do it later!" The three wet nurses were all found by Werther. They are wide and fat, and they are in good health at first glance. The daughters are all well, but the two sons don't appreciate it?<
/p>
Werther leaned over and looked at the three sleeping children but didn't find anything special.
Little maid: "Master Werther, the two of us are fishermen before. The fishy smell on our bodies may not be liked by children."
Witte: "So that's it. I really didn't pay attention to this. You guys should go back to your room first."
Several women who had followed Nymeria, Daisy Mormont, Jeyne Fowler and Jeynelynn Fowler, all went to fight in Dorne, so Wert gave the three little girls to Tyene as maids.
The three of them usually take care of the children, and the ordinary maids do the chores. Tyene also likes these three girls with platinum hair and purple eyes. She communicates with them in High Valyrian whenever she has time, and teaches them needlework.
Son.
Audaweiying followed Nymeria to Dorne, and Werther gave him enough benefits to bring the remaining four dragon eggs back to the castle.
There is a black egg in the cradle of the eldest son Darkseid. The second son Sauron also has a black egg. Werther thought girls would like the red one, so there is a red and white dragon egg next to his daughter Lilith, and Auda Weiying.
Same color.
There is also a golden dragon egg that Werther holds, which he usually bakes in the stove next to the Dawnbreaker Sword.
Letting three little girls take care of the children, Werther also wanted to see that they could speak High Valyrian, also known as dragon language, so that they would have a better language environment when the children and dragons grew up.
After having lunch with Tyene and taking a nap, I started teaching the magicians in the afternoon.
The magicians in King's Landing and Asshai are also communicating with each other. Witte's teaching includes not only theory, but also practice. Every afternoon, there are all kinds of magic flying around outside the castle.
While his wife led the troops to fight, Werther not only worked and took care of the children, but also went to the lighthouse on time after dinner to hold a military meeting.
With the construction of the castle, the originally lonely lighthouse has been surrounded by castle buildings. The Guards already have special dormitories. The space left by the lighthouse is used to store weapons and equipment and hold military meetings.
On the bottom floor of the lighthouse, there is a large stone table in the middle. Werther imitated the map table on Dragonstone Island and used magic to carve it on the stone in his spare time. It is made of wood from Dragonstone Island, but Werther's is made of stone and is larger.
More refined and more durable.
As the nobles, officers and bachelors of Tyrosh City came in one after another, Witte asked:
"What's new today?"
A bachelor and three assistants walked to the cabinet on one side and took out a box of copper chess pieces engraved with various family crests. The four of them placed them on the map of Dorne in an orderly manner.
Bachelor: "The Jordanian family in Thor City was defeated miserably, and the remaining remnants took a boat to capture the Gray Cloth Castle. The lord troops supporting Count Anders have joined him, and the large army is on its way back to Yinlonwood City. It should be at
The town of Wells is resting for a few days. The Woodman family in the east of Dorne is surrounding Bremen City, waiting for the army of the Dane family to arrive and attack the city together."
Witte looked at the map table, took out a small flag from the box next to it and placed it: "The Qiao Dain family is surrounded, why do they have to go out of the city to meet the enemy?"
Garland Tyrell pointed to the map: "Earl Turbart Jordan wanted to break out before the enemy arrived, but he didn't expect that the Elion family of Divine Grace City would attack him first. The two families had originally planned to attack him.
It's still friendly. Now that Count Terba Jordan has died in the battle, the position of earl has been inherited by his daughter Mixin Jordan."
Witte: "She fled to Gray Cloth Castle with her men. I remember that the castle on this island is Dorne's prison. Defense should not be a problem, but there may not be much food, and they won't be able to hold on for long."
Garlan Tyrell: "We can only hope there are no pursuers."
Witte: "The Jordanian family is the first noble to formally fight against the enemy after responding to Nymeria's call. Even if they lose, they must be rescued, otherwise it will have a great impact on morale." p>
Garlan Tyrell: "But Nymeria's forces are in the southwest, and they can't do anything in the north of Dorne."
Witte thought for a while: "My Tyrosi warships are different from those in other parts of the continent. They can be recognized at a glance. We can't take action. But didn't the royal fleet recruit a lot of pirates? Let them use the pirate ships to rescue people in Gray Bu Castle.
!"
Coast Guard Officer Hooper Redwin: "There is a pirate leader in the Royal Fleet named Salladhor Saan. We had a drink together before his ship came to Tyrosh. We asked him to take the pirate ship while the navy changed into shabby clothes.
You shouldn’t be recognized if you go to save people.”
Werther: "Maester, please send a message to King's Landing immediately and ask Stannis to transfer Salladhor Saan. I will pay the cost."
"Understood, I'll do it right away." The bachelor walked to the desk next to him and started writing immediately.
Witte looked at the table again: "Count Anders' counter-rebellion forces are going back to Yinlonwood City, so the Weir family at the north end of the Bone Road will definitely advance to the city to help defend it. Is there any news from Tianji City?"
The bachelors shook their heads.
Intelligence officer Andrew Yinsmond put his hands on the table and said with a smile: "The letters received by the bachelors are all explicit information, and my intelligence network can receive ulterior information."
Andrew took a small disc and put it on the table: "Tianji City is upstream of the Blackwood River. They are holding on to the castle to delay time for the north. But Prince's Pass is guarded by "Old Falcon" Franklin Fowler.
The earl is not a gas-efficient lamp. He has poisoned the Blackwood River, harvested a large number of poisonous weeds, chopped them up and poured them into the river. His city is at the source of the river, and the days of Yinlonwood City downstream are
But it’s not easy, city people will suffer from diarrhea even if they don’t die.”
Werther looked at his second cousin: "Do you have any news?"
Andrew took out the chess pieces of the Dane family and laid them out: "The Dane family of Starfall City and their branch, the Dane family of Gaoyin City, are heading north along the Turbulent River, preparing to besiege Bremen City together with the Manwudi family.
”
After speaking, Andrew turned to look at Garland Tyrell: "The River Bend has blocked the main road in Dorne, but the fleet starting from the Sea Villa City has been selling supplies to the Dane family in Starfall City.
, the price is quite high!”
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, the Changyuan app! It is so easy to use. I rely on this to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here. huanyuanapp ]
Werther glared at Finance Officer Gunthor Hightower: "The Kuyin family in Yangwu City is loyal to your Hightower family. Although selling supplies to the Dane family is considered a help, I ordered the blockade of Dorne. They paid high prices.
Did you have my permission to resell the supplies? Or was it your Hightowers' idea? Or was it the Tyrells' idea?"
Gunthor Hightower quickly explained: "Duke Werther, I don't know about this either. Before, I only knew that my family was doing business with the Dane family, and it was managed by my second brother. I have passed on Duke Werther's opinions.
I gave it to my family, but now the price has increased. I really don’t know what’s going on.”
"War profits have been made since ancient times, who wouldn't be tempted after seeing this? I understand this situation. But!" Witte paused, and then yelled angrily: "I have been planning for so long, and I went to King's Landing to lobby in many ways, and we finally achieved this.
How many compromises were made just to completely blockade Dorne! Don’t you know the blockade order issued by King Robert? The Dornish people could only get food from Nymeria during the war! The prices I gave were all fair prices, even if I
They can’t make a penny, so they can only take food from Nymeria!”
Werther has money now, and the large amount of wealth he plundered from the city of Myr through bond issuance has nowhere to spend.
Garland Tyrell, Hobb Redwin and Gunthor Hightower, three people from the southern families of the River Bend, now understand that Werther wants to use food to win the hearts of Dorne. Garland and
Hopper was also thinking about this and hoped that no one in his family would be involved, otherwise Werther's interests would be affected. If he really took action, he might not be able to talk to King Robert when he came.
Gonthor Hightower: "I'm going to write home right away and ask them to stop reselling."
Witte hit the table with his hand, causing the huge stone table to jump, and the chess pieces on it also fell over: "Every loss must be a gain, and every gain must be a loss. Let the Kuyin family in the name of Nymeria
, continue to sell supplies to the Dane family at half the market price! How much money you made before, spit it out to me double!"
"Understood!" Gunthor Hightower was very frightened. He and Werther had known each other for so many years, and he had never seen Werther get angry with one of his own people. Why did this first time fall on him and the other people in his family?
In order to make dirty money, I have put myself in harm's way.
Werther: "Go on!"
The assistant maester straightened the fallen chess pieces, and then placed other family chess pieces: "In the south of Dorne, the troops from Sandstone City and Hellgate Castle have entered Hell Hall, which is an abandoned fortress. They will wait for Nymeria here.
Meet."
Witte looked at it for a while: "Why are the marching routes of their troops so different from ours?"
Others also looked at the various flags on the table and carefully analyzed the differences.
Guards Captain Balon Swann interjected at this time: "Lord Werther, I remember my father said when I was a child, the Dornish people always follow the water when fighting on their own territory, and will only leave the water source when they launch an attack or are defeated.
."
"It's really true!" Everyone finally understood. Now looking at the marching route on the table, the idea became clear.
Witte: "There are five rivers in Dorne, and the northernmost one is left alone. As for the other four rivers, Nymeria's King's Army has already occupied the Sulfur River, and the Dain and Manwudi families are fighting for the Turbulent River and the Blackwood River.
Temporarily occupying the upper reaches, the Greenblood River and its tributaries, which have the most abundant water and the most cultivated land in Dorne, are all under the control of the Yinlenwood family!"
After Witte finished speaking, the assistant bachelor quickly placed the flags of both sides on each river.
"As for Count Anders' movements, he is now in Wells Town, occupying the upper reaches of the Fossil River, but he cannot leave the other tributary, the Vance River, alone. There must be his soldiers here." Witte pointed to the map.
Previous area.
Garland looked at it and said: "This place is called the Deep Sand Cleft. The terrain is steep and crisscrossed with valleys. Not a single animal can be found. It is Dorne's no-man's land. So Count Anders can only transfer his troops to another source of the Vance River."
Stationed."
Witte also agreed: "Bachelor, put together the information we compiled today and send a letter to Nymeria."
Nymeria is commanding at the front line, and Wit is supporting from the rear. She collects all the intelligence that can be collected, and leaves it to Nymeria to do the details of how to fight in the desert and direct large-scale military operations. Wit has no experience and will not intervene.
Decision making.
Witte's life in Tyrosh is like this every day. He handles government affairs in the morning, magic teaching in the afternoon, and handles Dornish affairs in the evening. The work arrangement is tense and orderly.
~~~
King Robert's patrol has also set off from King's Landing.
In addition to the officials in King's Landing who stayed behind, he took the queen and princess with him, as well as all the officials who dealt with the country's work. The officials also took their entourage, plus the king's guard was the attendants and the traveling caravan, a mighty team of thousands of people.
The first stop is my hometown of Storm's End.
After meeting Renly's son, Robert kept saying that the child looked very similar to Renly and was strong. He praised Renly for finding a good wife and asked Renly to keep up his efforts and imitate him to have more children. p>
In the evening, Robert used the excuse of a banquet to have a private meeting with five Bracken women hiding in Storm's End Castle. The five women gave Robert three illegitimate children, and now Renly is helping him raise them.
After staying at Storm's End for a week, Robert and his team set off again, staying at the castles of various lords in the Stormlands along the way, for as long as four or five days, and as little as two or three days. Everywhere they went, they were warmly received, and naturally there were
Different women went to his bed.
Renly, Little Rose, the little dragon and the child also set off for Tyrosh.
In Tyrosh, the first guests that Werther welcomed were his apprentice Robb Stark and Wyman Manderly, the Earl of White Harbor in the North.
Earl Wyman is 60 years old. He is in good spirits and very active in thinking. However, he is too fat to walk. He has been carried by servants since he got off the ship. His eldest son and heir, Willis Manderly, also came with him.
, also a big fat man.
"Duke Werther! The last time we met, you were still a child. I didn't expect you to have children this time. Haha, let me see." Count Weiman is an acquaintance.
"Haha, I remember you were still able to walk on your own last time we met. Why are you like this now?" When chatting with people he knows well, he doesn't mind others talking about his shortcomings.
Count Weiman: "It's not your fault! Duke Werther, the spices you brought from Tyrosh made me eat a lot more in every meal!"
"Hahaha!" The two chatted together quickly.
As Lord Wyman's huge body blocked the wooden plank for disembarkation, Robb Stark held the hand of his blond wife and was still watching the scenery on the boat.
Saran Farman: "Is this Tyrosh? So beautiful!"
Robb: "When I came here last time, there was still a war here, and the entire city of Tyroshi was in ruins. I didn't expect that the master could repair the city of Tyroshi in such a short time and make it even more beautiful."
Saran pointed to the highest lighthouse: "I heard from sailors that there is an eye on the lighthouse, but why isn't it?"
Robb: "That's called the Eye of Werther. It's used to detect enemies. It requires magic to open. Normally, Duke Werther won't use it if there are no enemies."
Robb hasn't slept with Saran yet, but the two have officially held a wedding. After getting along for a long time, they have figured out each other's personalities. He feels that Saran is a little nervous when speaking. Robb walked behind Saran and smelled his wife.
Her hair gently rubbed her head: "Are you seasick after sitting on the boat for a long time?"
"A little bit." Saran replied with her back to Robb, but from the corner of her eyes, she glanced at Werther who was talking to Lord Wyman.
How could James, the heir of the Lannister family, be so idle that he sent himself to be married to Winterfell in the North? In addition, when he was a child, his family suddenly moved back to the West and changed their names. The clever Saran had already learned from James.
He asked the truth in a circumstantial manner. The troubles in his family were really messy.
I was very nervous when I met Witte Salan Farman this time. I didn’t know if Witte would recognize him. If he did, what would happen to him? Will he kill him or watch Robb’s love affair with him?
He detoured himself, but went to the west again.
Originally, Saran Farman didn't want to come to Tyrosh, but she wanted to see if she could resolve the conflict. It had been so many years, and Robert himself was a romantic man, so he shouldn't hold these grudges anymore.
Robb took Saran's hand and walked off the boat: "Duke Werther!"
When outsiders were around, Robb's father told him to call him by his formal name.
Werther looked at Robb, who was carrying two swords and wearing black leather armor: "Haha, you are finally here. I heard that you married a girl from the West. Please introduce her quickly!"
Robb pulled his wife to him: "This is my wife, Saran from the Farman family on Fairy Island."
"Hello, Duke Werther." Saran performed a very formal female aristocratic ceremony.
"Yes, you are a very beautiful girl. Robb, you are so lucky."
Children always look like one of their parents, and Werther has already recognized who she is. But her surname is no longer Baratheon. If it were Joffrey here, Werther would kill him immediately, but Werther never attacks women, so he can't do it
What do you think of this girl? Just wait until you find out the situation of these people and give the information to Robert. Robert will handle his own affairs.
