The Cuy family, fiercely loyal to the Hightower Family, rushed to Oldtown in a panic, but they couldn't even meet Earl Hightower. They were wiped out by Daenerys, leaving behind only a dozen charred bodies of knights and warhorses.
In front of the dragon, ordinary knights and soldiers truly had no power to resist. Regular arrows couldn't cause any damage to the dragon; they couldn't even penetrate the dragon's Dragon Wings.
After the expedition to Yangwu City had gone far, Daenerys summoned the dragon and had them devour all the charred bodies and dead warhorses.
The metal armor on these knights and warhorses had melted into their bodies, and the dragon directly swallowed them whole. The dragon's digestive ability was extremely powerful; they could easily digest metal ores.
However, when melted armor like this was swallowed, although some would be digested, most would still be excreted.
During this time, Dreamfyre and the others might have excreted a lot of metal because they had devoured too many armed civilian corpses.
Daenerys discovered that the metal excreted by the dragon had almost no impurities and could be forged into steel of extremely high quality.
Daenerys had Rogge gather hundreds of blacksmiths from Oldtown, and a large blacksmith shop was being built on the east side of Weirwood Square.
Because after suppressing the Oldtown rioters, the blood sacrifice ritual caused significant changes in the melted steel, giving it a hint of Valyrian steel's characteristics.
Daenerys planned to forge a batch of equipment from this steel, and for this purpose, she also sent a message for Master Orn from King's Landing to come personally.
Upon returning to Hightower, Daenerys immediately had a Scholar send a message via raven to King's Landing, reporting her judgment on the Cuy family.
At the same time, Daenerys also placed a handwritten copy of the letters proving the Cuy family's guilt on Antros's dragon saddle, sending her directly back to King's Landing. Daenerys was preparing to try and see if she could use the dragon for communication.
Antros was fast and gentle-natured; upon returning to King's Landing, the Dragon Guard would be able to control her. Before she departed, Daenerys hugged Antros's dragon head and repeatedly communicated with her telepathically, instructing her to be quick and return swiftly.
After dinner, Daenerys was about to ride Dreamfyre to explore the vicinity when an Unsullied came to report,
"Princess Daenerys, Doctor Galvin is here to visit."
A moment later, supported by an Assistant Scholar, the bald and blind Doctor Galvin walked over with unsteady steps.
"Greetings, Princess Daenerys!"
Doctor Galvin bowed and tremblingly pulled out a green glass candle, about a foot long, from his Pregnant.
"This is the glass candles. My eyes were taken by a flash of light during an attempt to comprehend the glass candles."
Taking the glass candles from Doctor Galvin's hand, Daenerys had someone help him to a chair beside her.
"How long have you been blind?"
Doctor Galvin's empty eyes seemed to be lost in an unpleasant memory,
"Alas! It has been over ten years."
"Before that, I seemed to see some illusions: flames devouring bronze beasts and black shadows, and a dragon being born in the firelight. Just as I wanted to see everything clearly, a dazzling light instantly took away my sight."
Hearing Doctor Galvin say this, Daenerys couldn't help but feel strange, because what Galvin saw was the scene of her blood sacrificing Scholar Lunetel and the Faceless Men hatching Urax.
But she didn't expect that he had already seen it more than ten years ago. Doesn't that mean that the timeline of this world had already changed before she transmigrated?
Or perhaps this world is no longer the world of the original time dimension? Then perhaps she would not be regarded as a heretic by this world's will? In any case, this didn't seem to be a bad thing for Daenerys.
Daenerys stopped thinking about it. Since Galvin could bring the glass candles, it meant that his influence in the Citadel was not weak. It was better to deal with this doctor of mysticism first.
"Doctor Galvin, did you forge your Valyrian steel Scholar's chain yourself?"
As Daenerys asked this, Doctor Galvin was indeed momentarily stunned. But he quickly reacted and respectfully said,
"Reporting to Princess Daenerys, I did indeed forge it myself based on the records of the Citadel. However, its quality cannot compare to the Valyrian steel passed down from Ancient Valyria."
"It's merely a semblance, lacking the indestructible quality of Valyrian steel. I suspect there must be some essential steps missing."
Seeing that Doctor Galvin spoke very sincerely, Daenerys pointed out,
"It should be that it hasn't undergone the baptism of blood and fire!"
"Blood and fire?!"
Doctor Galvin's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
Daenerys, however, was not prepared to continue this topic,
"If there's an opportunity, I will let the Doctor witness how to forge true Valyrian steel. But for now, let's restore your sight first!"
After speaking, Daenerys had everyone leave; only she and Doctor Galvin remained in the room.
Daenerys took Doctor Galvin's hand, holding the green glass candles with him, and then began to chant an Ancient Valyria spell.
As Daenerys chanted, the green glass candles immediately lit up, and a pale green light illuminated the room in a sickly green hue.
In the green light, the illusion of Daenerys hatching the dragon Urax reappeared. However, everyone present at the time was shown as different energy bodies.
King Jaehaerys was represented by a golden flame, and Daenerys tried to convey a message to him.
"Great-grandfather, Antros will bring my message, and any news can be brought back to me by Antros."
The energy representing Daenerys was a source of light, which was what took away the light from Doctor Galvin's eyes. With the power of the glass candles, Daenerys actually had the illusion of controlling a dimension of space and time.
Just as that light once again surged towards Doctor Galvin, Daenerys successfully stopped it. And in Doctor Galvin's eyes, that light also transformed into the image of Princess Daenerys.
As the light of the glass candles gradually extinguished, Doctor Galvin's eyes finally regained their sight.
"I... I see, I have regained my sight!"
Doctor Galvin, who had been blind for over a decade, couldn't help but be overcome with emotion. He bowed deeply to Daenerys and said,
"Thank you, Princess Daenerys, for restoring my sight. From now on, Galvin is willing to obey Princess Daenerys's command!"
Daenerys was naturally very pleased with Doctor Galvin's understanding and tact. So she hinted to him,
"I hope the Doctor can assist me when establishing a branch of the Citadel in the future. I believe the Doctor's name will surely be remembered in the history of the Citadel."
Talking to smart people doesn't require much wasted breath. With just a few simple words, Doctor Galvin and Daenerys reached a tacit understanding.
Doctor Galvin, having regained his sight, walked with a much lighter step. Just as he was leaving Hightower, Daenerys's voice suddenly echoed in Jaehaerys's ears as he listened to Audra read in the Red Keep in King's Landing.
"Great-grandfather..."
