Most of the God-favored individuals who attacked the Starry Sept were poor people living near the wharf.
The main laborers in many families made a living by selling their physical strength at the wharf, so the fall of the family's pillar would undoubtedly bring a fatal blow to their families.
Now with a 200 silver deer pension and a monthly subsidy of 30 silver deers, these families can finally live well, and if they live frugally, there will be some surplus each year, so they are naturally grateful to Daenerys.
In this world, various natural and man-made disasters are constant, and the people at the bottom have long been accustomed to and indifferent to life and death, separation.
Their only goal in life is to survive tenaciously.
Whoever gives them hope of survival, they will naturally follow.
However, unlike the poor people near the wharf who gained a lot from the Starry Sept, those rioters who participated in attacking the dragons were miserable.
Because not a single one of those people survived, tens of thousands of people corresponded to nearly ten thousand families.
Therefore, half of Oldtown was immersed in mourning.
Especially when they saw that those rioters who attacked the Starry Sept, who also participated in the riot, not only brought back many treasures, but even those who died received generous pensions and subsidies.
This immediately made their hearts unbalanced.
When Daenerys walked through the streets of Oldtown, she clearly felt the hateful gazes of many people, so Mongo and the Unsullied all vigilantly placed their hands on their weapons.
Daenerys also communicated with Dreamfire through spiritual induction, making her hide high in the sky.
If these fools dared to make any improper moves, Daenerys wouldn't mind another Dragonflame barbecue.
Just as Daenerys and her group were passing a small square, a crazy old man suddenly rushed up and loudly rebuked Daenerys,
"It's you, it's you!"
"It's you, this heretic, who brought the demonic dragons and disaster to Oldtown; it's you who made Oldtown flow with blood and wail everywhere; I want to accuse you, the cold-blooded and exposed Dragon Princess, you are more insidious than a pagan, more terrifying than plague and natural disaster!"
"It's you who made Oldtown decline from now on, it's you who made Oldtown lose the blessings of the Gods from now on!"
"You cruel Dragon Princess!"
Mongo immediately drew his Valyria scimitar and ordered the Unsullied,
"Arrest this madman!"
"No, let him go!"
Daenerys quickly stopped their actions, then looked at the old man with a majestic and firm gaze and said,
"The seven gods bible says: Do not look at haters, tempters, do not pay attention to them, and do not drive them away."
"Those rioters violated the laws of the Seven Gods, and mortals naturally cannot resist the punishment of the Gods!"
"The seven gods bible also says that every darkness is followed by light."
Daenerys then stood tall and loudly said to everyone,
"I will personally dispel the gloom caused by the Hightower Family's madness in Oldtown.
Don't worry, the new Oldtown Garrison has been established, and Oldtown will soon return to normal life!"
This so-called holy fool, seeing Daenerys refute him with the words of the seven gods bible, was speechless for a moment and could only squat on the ground in despair.
In this world, some disabled or crazy people always say things similar to prophecies and divine revelations; such people are called holy fools.
In the history of the Seven Kingdoms, many poor people's riots were instigated by these holy fools, and the historical attack of the King's Landing rioters on the Dragonpit was also like this.
For the rest of the day, under the still hateful gazes of many Oldtown residents, Daenerys swaggered as she inspected all the main roads of Oldtown.
There's a saying by Tywin Lannister that Daenerys appreciates:
"A lion never concerns itself with the opinions of sheep!"
"And the dragons of House Targaryen have even less need to care about these low-level rioters!"
Because the game between the Seven Kingdoms has always been a struggle among the noble class.
Whether in this world or in the history of the Western world, there has never been a successful uprising by the lower classes.
It has always been the noble groups that have driven the progress of the West.
After traversing most of Oldtown, Daenerys finally arrived at Old Town Wharf in the evening.
After a day of busy work, the fleets of the various families of the Seven Kingdoms had already been led back and left Oldtown, so Old Town Wharf was much quieter at this time.
At this time, the merchants from the Free Trade Cities and other continents were gathered at Old Town Wharf, trying to bargain with Rogge.
"Since the benevolent Princess Daenerys has returned the teams of the various families of the Seven Kingdoms for free, why do you still need to collect our ransom?"
"We are already bankrupt this time, and all our goods have been plundered by the Hightower Family, and we were forced to sign huge IOUs with them, so how can we have such a large sum of money to redeem our fleet?"
Rogge had been working hard at the wharf all day, and even his lunch was hastily eaten near the wharf, so he had no patience at all with the ugly faces of those who hurt people.
"If you don't have money, don't redeem them!"
"The Targaryen Royal Family has the responsibility to protect the Seven Kingdoms, but it has no obligation to protect you."
"It's getting late.
If you want to redeem, sign and stamp quickly.
Otherwise, when we finish work in the evening, you won't be able to redeem them even if you want to!"
However, the merchants' greatest skill is to seek profit, and now they have suffered heavy losses in Oldtown.
Since Princess Daenerys is willing to be a good person, they naturally want to strive for the maximization of their own interests with all their might.
But Rogge was an old hand who had mingled in various major cities, so how could he take these merchants whom he had plundered seriously?
"I advise you to save your strength.
I'd rather you not redeem those ships!
Then I'll sell them at their original price, and the entire Oldtown Garrison's expenses for more than ten years will be covered."
"At that time, when faced with the Hightower Family's threats and inducements, you weren't so principled!
What?"
"Now that you see Princess Daenerys's benevolence, you can't suppress those filthy thoughts in your hearts?"
Just as Rogge and the merchants were engaged in a war of words, Daenerys also arrived at the wharf.
Seeing this, the merchants quickly surrounded Daenerys, trying to strike up a friendship with her.
However, at this moment, Dreamfire suddenly swooped down from high in the sky, immediately blocking the space between them and Daenerys.
Dreamfire's massive body and high-pitched dragon roar directly stopped them in their tracks and made them retreat frantically, with some timid ones even kneeling directly on the ground.
"I hope you all will not continue to test my benevolence!"
"Quickly sign the contract and leave Oldtown with your fleet!"
Daenerys's voice was cold and majestic; she had no pity for these fat sheep from other continents.
Because in the future, when she expands her power, they are very likely to become Daenerys's opponents.
