Hearing the Old Monk slander Daenerys, Dax immediately became furious, drawing his longsword and preparing to strike him down.
"Dax, there's no need to stoop to his level!"
"Since he is so devout, I will let him see who will be punished by the Gods first!"
Upon hearing this, Dax reluctantly put away his longsword, but the anger in his eyes burned even hotter.
At this moment, Daenerys was also seething with rage. She hadn't expected to inadvertently take Rhaenyra's title from her previous life at this time.
"Maegor's Teats? What a Hightower Family, truly worthy of being the Watcher of Oldtown, they even know how to wage a war of public opinion!"
Dreamfire and Miraxis, who shared a telepathic connection with Daenerys, felt her anger and immediately flapped their Dragon Wingss, leaving the Weirwood where they had been resting, and quickly flew towards the sea under the cover of night.
They grabbed many large rocks from a rocky beach, then quickly soared into the sky again, flying up to several thousand meters. At this height, even in daylight, it would be difficult to see their figures with the naked eye.
The two giant dragons, who had always maintained a telepathic connection with Daenerys, soon reached the skies above the Sailor's Chapel. Then, guided by Daenerys's mental direction, they directly released the massive rocks they held.
Dreamfire and Daenerys had been diligently practicing this skill for two or three years, and their accuracy in throwing was excellent.
Although Miraxis had practiced for a shorter time, her talent was exceptionally high. She was currently the strongest thrower among Daenerys's giant dragons. This might be largely related to Miraxis's super perception after devouring the Three-Eyed Raven's energy body.
Thus, accompanied by a series of whooshing sounds, the Old Monk, who had been spouting nonsense, was suddenly obliterated into a pulp by a massive rock falling from the sky.
And the crowd that had been egging him on was struck by the giant rocks falling from the sky. In just a few seconds, dozens of people lost their lives.
Dax and the others on the outskirts of the crowd exchanged shocked glances, then all turned their gaze towards Daenerys.
Iger's mind, as expected, was the quickest. He immediately shouted loudly,
"Oh my God! The Seven Gods are enraged!"
"It seems everything that Old Monk said earlier was false. He maliciously slandered the royal princess and has been punished by the Seven Gods."
Then he quickly exaggeratedly knelt on the ground, praying loudly,
"Seven Gods, bear witness! Seven Gods, bless us!"
"The Hightower Family has committed an unforgivable sin, and it has nothing to do with us!"
"Oh, great Seven Gods, forgive our ignorance! Let all your wrath be directed at the Hightower Family who have erred!"
Iger's exaggerated yet sincere performance immediately resonated with the surrounding people. After all, they were all devout followers of the Seven Gods, and the falling divine rocks were indeed a miracle. So, they all knelt and began to pray.
Daenerys and Dax also crouched down. She whispered a few words into the Watcher's ear.
Understanding Daenerys's intention, the Watcher directly took out a specially made hallucinogenic powder from a pocket on her person. She placed the packet of powder in a small bone bowl, then softly chanted a Children of the Forest spell.
The powder spontaneously ignited without wind, and a faint, elusive fragrance gradually drifted towards the crowd with the breeze.
Meanwhile, Iger continued his highly inflammatory speech,
"Do you all remember fifty years ago, when the foolish Poor Fellows Gathering and the Warrior's Sons, under the guise of fighting for us, incited the common people to battle against the royal family?"
"But what was the result? The bones of us poor people were strewn from Oldtown almost all the way to King's Landing. How many families were ruined? How many people lost their wives and children?"
"But what about those nobles who first instigated the trouble? They still live in the warmest castles, eat the most delicious food, and drink the finest wines."
"And look at those bishops in the Starry Sept. They pass by us poor people dressed in luxurious robes adorned with gold and jewels, but have they ever shown a shred of pity or sympathy?"
"When we had no food and no clothes, all they gave us was black bread that even their pet dogs wouldn't eat."
"Now, that damned monk, severely punished by the Seven Gods, is once again preparing to deceive and incite us in the name of the gods."
"Fortunately, even the Seven Gods couldn't stand it this time and directly sent down stars from outside to smash him and those who cooperated with his act."
"Everyone knows that this time, it was clearly the heir of the Hightower Family who stole three Dragon Eggs from the royal family. And they shamelessly hired Faceless Men to assassinate our beautiful and noble Princess Daenerys."
At this, Iger's companions in the crowd also loudly echoed,
"We all know!"
"And even so, the benevolent King Jaehaerys merely sent Princess Daenerys herself to invite the Hightower Family to King's Landing to receive a righteous judgment!"
"But those ill-intentioned fellows actually used lies behind our backs to incite us."
"Are we poor people, in the eyes of the Hightower Family and those foolish monks, merely tools and lowly beasts in their hands?"
"We are not!"
"Damn the monks!"
"Damn the Hightower Family!"
Seeing that everyone's emotions were roused, Iger pressed on.
"Have you ever wondered why we survived this time? I believe this is an opportunity given to us by the Seven Gods."
"Do you want the glory of the Seven Gods to continue to favor us? Then we must make those damned monks pay the price!"
"They must pay the price!"
"They must pay the price!"
Simple folk are so easily swayed. A miracle, an inflammatory tongue, can transform these beings, who in the eyes of nobles are as lowly as ants, into a fierce torrent like a bursting dam.
Daenerys knew that there must be many other crowds gathered like this today. So, she led her subordinates to continue stealthily approaching those densely populated areas.
The facts were just as she expected; the Hightower Family had long been manipulating the church to wage a war of public opinion. So, presumably, they had also taken action at the Citadel.
Using the church to incite the common people to create momentum for them. Then, at the Citadel, they must be inciting the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms through the Archmaesters serving in various noble territories to support the Hightower Family!
"Hmph! Hightowers, I'm afraid these two sharp tools of public opinion in your hands will turn into boomerangs that cut yourselves this time!"
Daenerys and the Watcher repeated their old trick, consecutively creating two more divine miracles of objects flying from outside at two larger monk preaching sites, smashing the monks there and some "deserving" victims to death.
