"You mean Johanna Swann?"
The female captain thought for a while and replied, "I heard that when she was fifteen years old, she was kidnapped by Lys people during a boat trip across Stepstones. Later she became a legendary social butterfly in Lys."
Lady White Eagle has indeed read a lot of books, Titus said with a smile, "Not only did she become a social butterfly, she also became very popular with Lys and was extremely influential.
After being kidnapped by Lys pirates, her penniless uncle was unwilling to spend gold coins to redeem his niece, so she was sold to Lys's brothel. It is said that her status as a noble lady in the Western Continent made her business very good. She quickly saved up enough capital and began to invest in various entertainment businesses on Lys Island."
Titus pointed at the swan statue and said, "Some people say that her charm and influence are so great that she can become the ruler behind Lys, and is respected as a black swan by Lys people."
The then Lys Admiral Sharak Loha was killed by his love rival because he was competing for the favor of Black Swan. His death was regarded as a political murder, and the suspects were the big shots on Myr's side. This also became the trigger for Three Daughters's internal concession war."
"Finally, Three Daughters kingdom collapsed in the war of daughters?"
Wenda remembers that the combined maritime power of the three cities once dominated the entire Narrow Sea, occupied Stepstones, and levied high taxes on passing merchant ships traveling from north to south.
In terms of the quality of the navy, even "Valyria's eldest daughter", "Summer Sea's mistress" Volantis and Braavos who owned the "Purple Fleet" had to stay away from the spotlight.
"That's right. House Swann also produced a ridiculous dragon slayer", Sir Byron Swann from the Dance of the Dragons period. He once witnessed the foreplay of Shipbreaker Bay's dragon fight in Storm's End."
Titus smiled, pointed to another swan with a crown on its head, and talked about another character from the Shiwen family.
"Sir Byron, who thinks he has seen big scenes, wants to imitate the mirror shield in the ancient heroic legend" Savin - at least he wants to copy the Savin knight's method of killing the dragon Urax, to slay Queen Rhaenyra's female dragon Syrax-
He hid behind the reflective shield polished into a mirror and slowly approached, so that the dragon could only see its reflection on the shield surface, until the knight behind the shield thrust his spear into its eye - when he dealt with Syrax like this, he was burned to ashes by the dragon."
Wenda also felt speechless. The dragon's IQ is not low, but the human being is quite stupid.
This Sir Byron Swann was so bold that he was so bold that he actually believed in the descriptions in ancient stories and copied them--
While the two were chatting about Byron Swann's bravery and stupidity, Bowen came back to life.
He connected with Peake Soldiers in Stonehelm and learned that Captain Gino was waiting for a response outside the city with his hundred-man team.
Farewell Davos Seaworth, Ironborn Oswin, Morio Domitis's fleet, Titus and others merged with Company outside Stonehelm. After Earl signaled, Peake Soldiers changed their armor on the spot.
The brand-new spearmen group enthusiastically supported their Lord Earl and headed west.
A large group of people crossed the border in a swagger, and even if they didn't leave Kingsroad, no thieves would dare to spy on them.
The scenery along the way gradually changed from the gathering place outside the town to the wilderness with few human traces. About dusk, the ruins of a burned castle appeared on the roadside.
Collapsed castle roofs, tilted towers, and ruins of broken walls. Weeds stubbornly emerged from the cracks in the rocks, swaying gently in the wind.
This is Summerhall.
The former summer palace of the Targaryen royal family is located at the junction of Stormlands and Dorne, and at the beginning of the northern end of Boneway.
It was built one year after Princess Daenerys, the sister of King Daeron II, married Prince of Dorne Marlon Martell. It not only commemorates the peace created by the king and the princess, but also has the meaning of "the king guarding the country".
Daeron II, known as "the Wise", often lived here when he was young. When he became old and frail and could not leave King's Landing often, he gave Summerhall to his fourth son, later the unlucky king Maekar, and named him "Prince Summerhall".
"The blood of dragons was united, but an irreversible fire broke out. Even if he is as wise as King Aegon V, will he become stubborn and stubborn when he gets old?"
When passing by this place, the deputy captain Wenda looked at the ruins and sighed like a Joel.
Titus knew she was sighing. At the end of Aegon V's reign, he became more and more obsessed with the dream of bringing the magic dragon back to the world. He kept sending people to Asshai in the Far East to try to collect ancient scrolls about dragons.
More than 20 years ago, he called his relatives to Summerhall to celebrate the birth of his first great-grandson Rhaegar. Like many Targaryens had done, he decided to try to hatch Dragon Egg again.
He prepared seven Dragon Egg that had already turned into fossils to show respect for Seven. With the help of Pyromancer, he burned them with Wildfire. As a result, Wildfire was too wild and suddenly lost control, and the fire spread rapidly.
Kingsguard Captain "Tall" Duncan stepped forward and bravely saved some people, but he himself, along with Aegon V and the king's eldest son "the Small" Duncan, unfortunately died in the sea of fire.
The number of men in the royal family dropped sharply, and Aerys II's father, Jaehaerys·Targaryen II, succeeded to the throne.
After Aegon V's granddaughter Leila escaped from the fire, she gave birth to her and Aerys II's eldest son, Rhaegar, against the backdrop of the burning Summerhall--
This incident was historically known as "Tragedy at Summerhall".
This fire caused a major blow to House Targaryen. A large number of royal family members died in large numbers, and all the saved Dragon Egg were also lost in one fell swoop.
Unlike Wenda, Titus lamented Aegon V's "fainting" in his later years. He could even understand the despair and obsessive expectations in the heart of a sober king who had traveled to the north and south of the continent.
When Targaryen owned a dragon, Westeros's nobles all wanted to marry him, and money, power, and resources were rushed to them. However, most of the royal family members who still had dragon riders at that time looked down upon him and were very proud.
After all their dragons were dead, Targaryen woke up and finally acted like a normal king. He knew he had taken back power, and the nobles had the confidence to not cooperate.
Aegon V has seen the sufferings of the people and has been promoting policies and laws that are beneficial to the common people. Of course, this will be secretly resisted by the nobles at all levels in the mainland.
What can he do? He can only hope for the dragon's rebirth.
Under the Dragon's mouth, all living beings are equal, and no ant dares to disobey the Dragon King's will!
I don't know if any of those Dragon Egg have been preserved and not destroyed?
Presumably the royal family has already searched, but they may not have done it professionally - or maybe, they should start from Red Keep, look for the architectural drawings of Summerhall, and determine the location of the ruins where Dragon Egg is located?
Titus was thinking a lot, and then thought that it was rumored that the ruins of Summerhall seemed to have a complex attraction for Rhaegar. From time to time, Prince Silver would go here with his harp to remember him?
In this case, it is no wonder that he owns a hidden golden house called the "Bliss" Tower near the Red Mountains.
Later, when you pass by Nightsong, you have to tell Bryce·Caron and pay attention to the strange team of Prince's Pass.
But Rhaegar seems to have gone first Oldtown, or somewhere else--
With a little uncertainty, Earl, who was in deep thought, led his men, horses and cargo through the ruins of this dilapidated building.
When traveling west to Nightsong, Titus met cordially with his former attendant Bryce Earl.
After staying one night at Nightsong, they set off again, passing through the Wake Forest where female NPCs had been refreshed twice, and returned to Starpike after a long absence without incident.
The first thing after returning home was to call Sir Duncan, who took over the defense of the castle after Gino left, and Sir Robinson, who was responsible for training the troops, to inquire about the situation in the city and with the new recruits' training.
Sir Duncan is the current retainer of Peake, who is responsible for managing the army and holding great power. He has a dull expression, a tall stature, and a very majestic bearing.
Because he often led his troops out to sweep back and forth in the deep mountains of the Red Mountains, and from time to time "magic soldiers descended from the sky" and appeared to massacre the wild people in the mountains, he was called the "Flying Devil" by the tribesmen.
Notoriety can stop a child from crying at night.
The fiefdom of Duncan is exactly the Wake Forest that Titus and his party passed through today.
Because his ancestor John, Knight Vic, fought bravely and made great contributions to House Peake, he was rewarded and got that large forest as a fief.
