Red Fort, the night is quiet.
Although the long night has now fallen for nearly half a year, all creatures in this world, including human beings, have been seriously affected, but human beings have wisdom, so they have found some ways to solve the dilemma at present.
For example, there is a large hourglass in St. Baylor's Cathedral, and it takes one hour every time it completely drains. Therefore, the monks in St. Baylor's Cathedral keep turning this hourglass every day, and then use it to spread it all over the place. Bells throughout King's Landing tell people what time it is and what to do.
Just like the three ancient bells of Norfoss, getting up, eating, sleeping, etc. have been calculated, and the people of King's Landing live according to the bells of the church.
Therefore, although the long night is now shrouded in the sun and the moon, King's Landing still has the concept of 'day' and 'night', and what kind of things to do when the time comes.
The long night has fallen for half a year, and the entire territory of the empire is still stable.
Because the empire was fully prepared and started hoarding food and grass early, after the food control, although the people are unable to eat enough and are barely subsistence, they will at least not starve to death, in the recent one or two years.
The outside world is more cruel. Now most of the shipping links have been cut off. Most of the merchant ships dare not go to sea. It is not that the merchants have no courage, but that many city-states have begun to follow the empire to implement the closed policy, except for the formation of coalition warships. Running constantly on the narrow sea.
Viserys also learned some of the current state of the outside world through his connection with his "Iron Mask General".
It is said that chaos has broken out in many places. The hungry people rushed into the homes of the rich to open their grain depots. In some places, riots have been suppressed, but people have begun to eat people.
Viserys and Bessie could talk across two continents, and so would all those who had been eroded by his black mist, like the wizards of the ancient fortress of liberty claimed by the Asshaibinder, the quill.
King's Landing now has four glass candles in possession, all of which were looted from the Xuecheng after breaking through the old town. They are one green and three black.
Viserys had learned the mantras that Quill taught him to control, but he was still figuring out how to control the glass candle as a whole.
If the glass candle of the Ancient Freedom Fortress is really useful, it will be a very powerful magic weapon, just like the crow skull.
Because its call distance is much stronger than that of Viserys in his original state. After all, Viserys and Bessie are separated by a narrow sea. In fact, there is not much distance. 'Disconnected'.
After the collapse of ancient Valyria, the craftsmanship of glass candles has also been lost, and the number of glass candles is not much, even rarer than the surviving Valyrian steel swords.
But the value of a glass candle is far less than that of a Valyrian steel sword, because glass candles have no effect on ordinary people except to detect the return of the magic tide, and naturally they do not cut gold. Valyrian steel swords, which are as jade-cut as iron and mud, are of great value.
If the glass candles are really useful, Viserys is going to put these four candles on the Great Wall, King's Landing, and Essos Continent respectively, and the remaining one is waiting to be arranged.
In this way, the news can be delivered in a seamless and timely manner, and having a giant dragon as a mount can shorten the travel time between the two places. Even if the territory of the empire is doubled, it can be tightly held in the palm of your hand, and it will not be too large because of the size of the country. For the sake of it, it fell apart later.
Viserys fell into contemplation as he looked at the black glass candle in front of him, and the ever-extinguishing flame on it.
At this moment, a sweet and slightly immature girl's voice came from behind.
"Dad, I heard from my mother that you are going to a far place?"
Viseryston came back to his senses slightly, and then saw his eldest daughter, Diana with silver-gold hair and short neck-length, standing behind him at the moment.
Diana is still young, only six or seven years old this year, but she has fully revealed her intelligence, she just likes to play and has a lively nature.
The same is true of Viserys's other child, Helos Targaryen. Dr. Marwin, the great scholar in charge of the education of His Royal Highness, who enlightened him, sincerely lamented Prince Helos' eagerness to learn.
Three or four-year-old children from an ordinary family are still playful years. Even the families of the great nobles do not start their education until the age of six, but His Royal Highness Prince Helos does not like to play. On the contrary, this boy is very interested in books. , He is also curious about many things in the world, and has already begun to learn to read.
Helos knew even more words than his sister. Of course, it wasn't because Diana's talent was worse, it was simply because the elder sister didn't study hard, and Helos was studying very hard.
"Well, Dad is going to the Eastern Continent."
And Viserys heard the voice behind, turned his head and saw his eldest daughter, then reached out and hugged Diana, and the girl sat in her father's arms obediently.
"Do you know where the Eastern Continent is?"
"Mr. Marwin should have taught you."
Viserys took his daughter to test her knowledge by the way, to see if she had studied seriously during this time.
"Well, of course I know!"
When Diana heard that her father was testing herself, she immediately sat in Viserys' arms and twisted and twisted, like all the children in the world, they were all willing to act coquettish in her father's arms.
"The Eastern Continent is the Continent of Essos~www.mtlnovel.com~ The name of Essos is due to pronunciation problems, and Diana's words are a little sloppy.
The Targaryen family is the remnant of the ancient Valyrian freedom fortress, and now Viserys is determined to rebuild the empire, so the children of the royal family are bilingual education, and the common language and the higher Valyrian language.
In fact, Viserys himself was the second prince in the Red Keep when he was a child, and he was educated in Valyrian.
The Essos Continent is the common name of the people for the Eastern Continent, and it is also a simplified version of the name. Some of the letters in it are thrown away. The full name of Essos Continent should be Essos Continent.
"Then what is Dad going to do in Essos Continent?"
The girl with short silver neck and short hair made Viserys laugh as she tried to bite her words. He scratched his daughter's little nose with his hand, which caused her daughter's big white eyes, and then said with a smile.
"Go save the world and get the lost sun back."
