Chapter 264: No Guarantee for the Late Festival (5600)
150 years later, the dragon came to Highgarden again, but residents outside the city did not have the opportunity to see it up close.
Due to Robert's "assassination", the entire High Court has been put under martial law, and a curfew has been imposed at night. The streets are full of soldiers patrolling in groups. Gatherings of more than five people inside and outside the city are also prohibited.
The three-story circular city wall surrounds the high court, completely blocking the view. Residents can only stay at home and watch the sky.
As evening approached, there was a loud bang outside the city. Everyone in the city knew that the dragon had arrived. Because they couldn't see it, the people in the city felt very disappointed. I only hope that the two magicians, Werther and Renly, can find out the murder as soon as possible.
The murderer of the king went to see the dragon outside the city after the martial law was lifted.
When Odaweying landed outside the city wall, Werther and Renly had already glided into the inner city. The little dragon Petwaha was still small now and could follow them into the castle. The two of them and one dragon were in the high garden.
The guards led us to a small living room.
"Where's the king?"
Witte saw that the person who came here first was Lynn Corbray of the Kingsguard, so he asked him.
Linn replied seriously: "Duke Werther, His Majesty the King is changing clothes."
He came here first after getting orders from Robert, and handed two notes to Werther and Renly, which recorded what happened in the past few days.
Werther: "Then let's wait a moment, Sir Linn. Now go and inform the ministers of the Royal Council and ask them to come here. Also, bring Daenerys and her gang here!" Werther and Blue
etiquette
"As you command!"
As the chief mage of the Seven Kingdoms, Witte was naturally qualified to convene a royal meeting. Linn Corbray trotted out of the drawing room, informing so many people that he could not make it alone. After turning the door, he hurried to the residence of the Kingsguard.
Go.
Even the small living room in Highgarden is large and luxurious. In addition to high-end sofa seats, there is also a huge rectangular conference table. Werther and Renly took the seats on both sides of the front seat directly.<
/p>
After reading the note, Werther put his left hand on the table and tapped his four fingers rhythmically on the table. He held a black pocket watch in his right hand and looked at the time anxiously.
Renly, who was sitting opposite Werther, did not speak. The little dragon's head, which was bigger than a horse's head, came to his side. Renly was cleaning the pebbles stuck in the gaps between its scales with his hands, placing them neatly one by one.
On the table.
After about 10 minutes, Robert and Barristan walked into the drawing room.
"Robert! What have you done!" Werther saw small red spots on Robert's neck even though he was wearing high-collar clothes. He immediately pushed away the chair and stood up, pointing at his neck and yelling. Renly also looked in the direction of Werther's finger. Seeing Robert's appearance, Renly had goosebumps all over his body. Robert's condition was really bad!
Robert didn't answer. When he came over, he put his hands on Werther's shoulders and pushed Werther hard into the chair. He sat on the first chair and looked at the two of them with a wry smile.
Werther pulled out the dragon head pendant hidden in his collar: "Aren't you wearing the magic necklace I gave you?"
Robert also touched the pendant hidden under his clothes and said: "I did have some minor problems after wearing it before, but after a long time, I seemed to get used to it, and I didn't pay much attention to it being a magic item, plus the necklace was in the way of my chest.
, I took it off some time ago."
Wirth: "This necklace will not make you never get sick, nor will it make you immune to all poisons. But when the pendant encounters serious diseases and poisons, even if it cannot completely resist diseases and poisons, the magic inside it will work."
It will also generate high temperatures when it takes effect, which can serve as a warning and a warning to the wearer."
"It's too late to do anything now. Do you understand my illness? Can it be cured through magic?" Robert looked at Werther and Renly, the two most powerful magicians in front of him, and there was still a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Hope.
Witte stood up and pressed his hands on the ground. A complex magic detection array under Robert's seat was gradually released from Witte's hands to the ground, and the circular magic array quickly took shape.
"This is detection magic. It can detect many things in your body. You need to bleed a little and let Renly treat you later."
Robert began to fold the sleeves of both hands: "It doesn't matter if you shed some blood. Do you need me to stand up?"
"As long as you don't step out of the small circle in the center of the array, it's okay. You can sit down."
Werther began to control carefully, no longer caring about talking, and answered very perfunctorily.
"The blood is the same everywhere, just prick your finger." Renly explained to Robert at the side. He was also learning this magic circle recently, pulled out his chair and squatted next to the magic circle to carefully observe the whole process.
Although he is not a medical student, the advertisements on the telephone poles before time travel are enough to let every Chinese know about several diseases. Witte could almost memorize those advertisements and read the introductions of several diseases.
Werther looked at Robert in the magic circle. His condition was really not optimistic. He had secondary syphilis!
In reality, this disease is difficult to treat, and it still needs to be treated with penicillin. Witte studied mechanics, and only knows the name of penicillin. If it is really necessary to cultivate, prepare and make medicine, Witte confirmed that he does not know how to make it. p>
Penicillin is not available, and magic to cure syphilis is unreliable!
Originally, the altar in the game could be cured of various diseases by touching it, including rabies bitten by a werewolf! That's because there is a real god behind the altar, and the real god is using his power to be equivalent to the believers.
Exchange!
Believers devote their faith to the true God and expand his influence. The true God uses his own power to help believers dispel diseases.
Witte guessed that Weili may have directly separated the virus from the human body, or he may have directly killed the virus with magic accurate to the nanometer level. Currently, the level of magic in this world has not reached this level.
Moreover, in this remote world that even the true gods look down on, the most advanced enchantment can only achieve 80% resistance effect, and stacking it on top will have minimal effect.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The same is true for magic resistance equipment, and the same is true for disease and poison resistance enchantments. Otherwise, wearing a 100% poison resistance necklace will make you drink the blood of the strangler, Lys Tears, and Widows as water. Unless you are like the Dragonborn
You are the "grandson" of the God of Creation, otherwise the gods will abandon you if you commit suicide like this!
The light of the magic circle went out, and Robert knew the result when he looked at Werther's expression. Robert's face also lost the look of expectation, and he looked at the empty table with a dull look.
Witte said slowly at this time: "The disease Robert has is not the blood plague that was prevalent in Meereen City before, nor the butterfly fever on Nass Island. The erythema will only appear on the face. This is a kind of disease."
A very serious sexually transmitted disease."
Robert clenched his fists and looked at Werther: "Will he really die?"
"Everyone's constitution is different. They may live for decades, or they may die suddenly in a year or two." Werther told Robert the truth without hiding anything.
"Fuck!"
Bang! Robert's fist hit the table.
Renly quickly cast a healing spell on him. Robert used all his strength this time and his fingers were broken.
Werther: "Robert, in order to avoid infection, from now on you can no longer have contact with women, including the queen!"
Robert is not afraid of death. He was prepared to die when he raised an army to fight against the Mad King. People in this world regard honor on the battlefield as very important, so many people are not afraid of death! He just let a little girl get sick and was sentenced to death.
I feel very frustrated!
"It's better to kill me now than to let me touch women!" Robert also broke the pot.
Witte: "Several girls in the Bracken family are also infected with this disease. You can live with them in the future."
"Just five." Robert pretended to be relaxed in front of his two brothers, but in fact he was very confused and sad inside.
At this time, the ministers of the Royal Council also entered the drawing room, followed by the shackled Daenerys and her three maids.
"You deserve it!" Renly saw that her mouth was a little swollen. It must be that the magician deliberately failed to heal the wound after her tongue was cut off.
"The king has discussed the matter with me in detail. Now let's interrogate the accomplices behind the scenes!" Seeing everyone taking their seats, Werther went straight to the topic without any further nonsense. By the time he finished speaking, he had already walked to Daenerys' side.
Werther pulled open the collar of her tattered linen clothes and saw that her body was covered with red spots, more than Robert's.
Varys, who was always smiling, lost his smile at this time. "Lord Werther, I already interrogated Daenerys once last night, and she didn't explain anything."
"It doesn't matter, she will say it!"
Daenerys looked at Werther in front of her. Daenerys's body had already begun to tremble before she made a move. The people present looked at it inexplicably.
Werther's hands lit up with purple magic, and he leaned against Daenerys's ears, one on the left and the other on the right. The purple magic penetrated into Daenerys' mind like flowing water along his open fingers.
Soul ingestion is originally a pre-process of enchantment. When extracting the soul, it is applied to animals or people, and the soul can be extracted after death.
There are no soul stones in this world. After the improvement, Witte has two development directions. One is to enchant the soul and put it into the equipment immediately, and the other is to torture the soul of the person. However, this method is almost a one-time use.
.
The soul is both powerful and fragile. It is powerful because the soul almost only escapes from the body when it dies. While the creature is still alive, the soul cannot leave the body no matter what method is used. Of course, exceptions like Duneviel and the White Walkers, their bodies
In fact, he has been dead for a long time. He can use some means to forcefully extract his soul without harming his body.
And fragility is because once a person is violated, his thinking will be confused, and he will become slow or crazy. A little tug on the soul can make a person lie down for a month. If the soul is hurt a little, the person after the soul is stuffed back will become a fool.
.
"Uh~~~"
Werther did not touch Daenerys' body, and she stood motionless. Her eyes were blank, her mouth had grown to its maximum size, and continuous sounds came from her throat.
Normally, special officials are responsible for interrogations. Werther has never had the opportunity to use this magic. It took a short period of adaptation before he became familiar with it.
"Ah!!"
This is the painful scream that a soul should make when being tortured.
Barristan couldn't bear to see Daenerys in pain, and quietly turned his head to look out the window.
Varys's eyes lost focus as he looked ahead. At this time, his mind was on the inheritance of the kingdom.
Although Robert had little ability to govern the country, he was not stupid except for extravagance and love of women. He was very good at employing people and building relationships, and relied on his ministers to manage the country in an orderly manner.
But if Robert suddenly dies of illness one day, according to today's laws, Princess Jocelyn, who is a female, has no inheritance rights. If Robert gets this disease and is unable to give birth to offspring that can grow up healthily, then the king's position will be
into the hands of Stannis.
Stannis becomes king? Varys has many bad thoughts in his mind.
The screams gradually decreased, and Daenerys, whose eyes were dull, regained some sense. She looked down and saw that her clothes were soaked with sweat.
"Tell me what you really think!" Werther cast a spell with one hand instead, pushing Daenerys directly opposite Robert's chair at the conference table.
The magic thread was still connected to one side of Daenerys's head. At this time, Werther turned on the illusion magic with his other hand. A blue shadow exactly like Daenerys appeared next to the table. Werther connected the magic thread with both hands:
"She can speak through shadows now!"
Daenerys, who was slumped on the chair, opened her mouth and spoke slowly. Her tongue had been cut off, and she did not make any sound. The words came from the mouth of the shadow next to her: "I originally wanted to kill
Witte Baratheon. The dragon caused a great plague in the city of Meereen. More than three-quarters of the people on both sides of the battle died of the disease. At that time, I was under house arrest in the Great Pyramid by Witte, so I thought of using body poison.
The idea of killing Werther. But Werther is impotent and has not touched a woman in Meereen for several months. I seduced her many times without success."
"We all know you are not!" The Duke of Metz was the first to speak in support of Werther.
Robert and Daenerys sat at both ends of the long table. As if they were opposite each other now, Robert asked loudly: "We know that you are under house arrest in the Shwedagon Tower, but according to our intelligence, your previous
Your body is completely healthy and you cannot meet men during your house arrest. How did you contract this disease?"
Daenerys: "Werther and the Great Lord of Meereen were all focused on me, but I still had several maids at the time. I couldn't come into contact with men, but our maids could, and they would infect me later." "People who enter the Great Pyramid will undergo strict screening. You should have accomplices in Meereen!" Witte thought for a while, and there was something wrong with her words.
Daenerys looked at Werther: "You can infiltrate me yourself, why can't we send people to infiltrate those hypocritical great masters?"
"Continue." Werther doesn't want to get entangled in Meereen. Whether he is alive or dead there has nothing to do with him.
Daenerys: "Then I learned that I would be sent to King's Landing. This was a good opportunity to get close to the king. In the nine major trading city-states, everyone's favorite topic of conversation was Robert's affairs. His conduct was even
Even a three-year-old child knows this, so I spared no effort to express myself in front of him after entering the Red Keep. As expected, your king is like a breeding pig, as long as he is a woman, he can accept it."
Robert glared at Daenerys and shouted loudly: "Originally, you and I could live well, maybe we could live a hundred years like Maester Aemon, but now we are both going to die, do you regret it?"
?"
Daenerys was in great pain. At this time, she used all her strength to hold herself up so that she could sit up straight in the chair and look at Robert: "Robert, you ended the Targaryen family's rule in Westeros."
Rule, now I have ended your rule! Those who destroy other countries will eventually perish. I have no regrets!"
"Witt, there is no need to interrogate anymore."
Robert, who has read countless people, saw the look in Daenerys's eyes and knew that she was telling the truth: "Bachelor!"
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions." Archmaester Pycelle was still locked in the dungeon, and an assistant hurried to Robert's side.
"Draw up a document. In my name, Daenerys assassinates the king and sentences her to death, along with her maids and accomplices."
Assassinating the king, even if it was premeditated, is a very serious crime. What's more, when Daenerys' assassination was successful, no one dared to speak up for her now, for fear of being implicated.
At this time Werther walked up to Robert: "Daenerys is pregnant!"
"What!" Not only Robert, but also the ministers and Kingsguard present were shocked. Everyone turned to look at Daenerys. Who else could the child in her belly belong to besides Robert?
Sometimes she sentences herself to death, and sometimes she stares at her belly. She knows her body best. Daenerys is neither smiling nor sad now. She is staring at Robert intently. Her eyes seem to say: Come on, kill me.
, carrying the name of parricide.
Robert pointed to Daenerys' belly and asked: "Will her disease be passed on to her children?"
"Yes!" All the men present had heard more or less about sexually transmitted diseases. With such a highly contagious disease, the child Daenerys gave birth to would be destined to die while growing up.
"Daenerys' death sentence remains the same. It will be executed after she gives birth to the child, and she will be locked in the bedroom first!" Robert still relented and allowed her to live for a while longer.
The assistant maester handed the drafted document to Robert. After carefully checking the list, Robert took the pen and signed his name.
Robert asked the maids and accomplices to come with them, because they would definitely involve a lot of things.
Daenerys and the three maids she brought were shackled immediately. The soldiers of Highgarden will prepare the execution ground tonight, and a public sentencing will be held at dawn tomorrow. The king hopes that her pregnancy will be delayed until the birth.
The execution will be carried out after the child is born.
After she came to King's Landing, there were some maids in the Red Keep who got very close to her. These maids were all daughters of nobles and traveled with the parade. The closer they got to Daenerys, who was not in trouble even for the king.
The more they can show their noble status, the more talkative they will be at the party. And now they are also implicated. They concealed Daenerys' illness and were all sentenced to hanging.
Archmaester Pycelle was in danger of dying. He knew that the king was suffering from a serious illness but deliberately concealed it and delayed treatment. At the same time, he also infected the women around the king and was sentenced to hanging as an accomplice.
In addition, all the women Robert has slept with since his patrol must be checked, and those who work in the entertainment industry as long as they are found to be sick will be executed. Once the daughters of noble families are found to be sick, those who are more serious than Robert will be executed.
Those with milder conditions were sent to become nuns.
With the current medical level, we can only investigate whether they were infected before the king's arrival based on the severity of their illness. People's constitutions are different and there must be huge mistakes, but this investigation procedure must be followed. The Stormlands is Robert's hometown, and Robert
Bo also did not implement a one-size-fits-all policy. If these nobles were smart, they would know how to arrange for their sick daughters.
Maester Aemon, who is in King's Landing, is the most suspect. Before he swore to become a maester, his original name was Aemon Targaryen. His great-grandfather, King Aegon IV, died of venereal disease. Aemon's brother was known as the "drunkard"
Daeron Targaryen also died of a venereal disease, and he continued to take care of him until his death. After Daenerys came to the Red Keep with her illness, the two often met. Aemon had cases around him, so he was very suspected of instigating her to go there.
Seducing Robert.
Maester Aemon, who would rather kill than let go, lived to be 100 years old, never imagined that he would end his life in such a way and be accused of being the mastermind behind the assassination of the king!
Those who were guilty were all discussed by the ministers of the royal council. When Witte saw the list drawn up by the maester, he wanted to plead for Aemon, but then he thought that given Aemon's position and such a coincidental time, his suspicion was still unclear.
It’s really hard to wash away.
Forget it, let him go on his way in peace, it is Daenerys who wants to end the Targaryen family early.
Maester Aemon was one of the people he respected more, and Witte planned to commemorate him in his own way. When he had time, he compiled the large number of manuscripts left by Maester Aemon into a book, and wrote the preface to the book himself to rectify his academic reputation. It was a sleepless night in the High Court tonight. The truth about the assassination of the king came to light. Messenger crows flew to various places. A large number of soldiers posted notices in the city, detailing the cause and effect and the crimes of those who will be executed tomorrow morning.
Of course, the public announcement concealed the specific disease, saying only that Daenerys had infected Robert with the disease.
