Doomsday, starting from a generation of masters

Chapter 203 Old Town School City
After the inspection, Pai Siwen said optimistically,
"My lord, Princess Shirene's illness has been well controlled since she was a child, and she hasn't relapsed after so many years, which means she has basically recovered!"

Lin En was very dissatisfied when he heard this, and said in a deep voice:

"Relapse? Basically?"

"Can you give me a definite answer!"

Perthwin wiped the sweat from his forehead, carefully explained greyscale to Lynn,
The origin of greyscale can no longer be investigated. Some say it is a curse from the gods on the Valyrians, while others say it is a spontaneous and highly infectious disease.

People only know that it occurs mostly in childhood, and the infected skin will harden, stiffen and crack.The bachelor of the Academy recorded in the book that using lime, mustard ointment and high-temperature baths can delay the onset of greyscale; the monks of the Westeros Church believe that prayer, sacrifice and hunger strike can cure greyscale. After the onset period, the children will leave obvious marks on the skin, but they can survive.

Both maesters and monks believed that children who had greyscale would be safe from other diseases, let alone gray blight.

Gray blight is a variant of greyscale. It once broke out in Old Town. At that time, it killed half of the city's population and three-quarters of the members of the Academy City. Therefore, there are many researches and treatments on this disease in the Academy City. method, but it doesn't necessarily work!
"My lord, if necessary, I still have to go to the Academy City to find a bachelor who has more in-depth research on this disease for consultation!"

After Pai Siwen finished speaking, he hesitated to say: "It's just, I'm afraid this is not easy to do!"

"why?"

"School City's targeting of our Storm's End school is becoming more and more obvious. From the beginning, they secretly prevented the bachelors from coming, and now they almost explicitly stop them, and even forcefully recall the bachelors. With their attitude, they will definitely not support us! "

"They also clearly stated on many occasions that what our school teaches cannot be called knowledge at all, but is just plowing the land for the church!"

"Because our students have only learned the most basic literacy and mathematics, even if they want to refute, they are often humiliated and speechless by the other party!"

The more Pai Siwen talked, the more ashamed he became, and he slowly lowered his head and remained silent.

Moreover, the construction of the school has just entered a stable period, with a large number of students and a serious shortage of teachers. If only the most basic knowledge is taught, it can still be carried out, but if students want to study further, they face the embarrassing situation of having no teachers and no books.

It seems impossible to recruit from the school city now.What a blow to his plans to build a great school!

Lin En frowned when he heard that, the dissatisfaction with him in the Academy City began after he opened the school, because the proud Academy City believes that knowledge is precious and can only be taught to a very small number of qualified people.

And Lynn's attitude of almost rushing people to learn made them feel violated and humiliated, so it is certain that they don't like it or disapprove of it.
Originally, he thought about hiring more bachelors from the academy city, and even renting some books to develop the school more comprehensively and deeply.Unexpectedly, Xuecheng's attitude was more resistant than he imagined, and it could even be said to be disgusting.

"Damn it! Shame on you! I'll meet you now!"

Lin En decided to go to the Academy City himself to see what is so great about this institution that teaches all bachelors in the whole continent!
On the same day, after he inquired about everything in the school city in detail, he began to prepare to go south,
The location of the Academy City is in the southwest corner of the continent of Westeros. If you go by land, you need to take the King's Avenue and then turn to the Rose Avenue until you reach the end of the Rose Avenue. This is the location of the Academy City, Old Town, this section of the road It will take at least one or two months to walk down.

If the distance by sea is the same, you need to go south from the Narrow Sea around Dorne to enter the Summer Sea, and then sail to Old Town, which is almost half a circle around the Westeros continent!

How could Lynn waste so much time!
Simply, bring a letter of recommendation and go on the road alone,
And in the early morning of the third day, I stepped into this mead riverside, the city built by the ancestors for thousands of years, the old town!
No matter who you are, the first impression you see of Old Town will always be the most majestic, uncanny and jaw-dropping building, the towering tower!

This is also the tallest man-made building in Westeros. It is a huge stone tower with a height of more than 800 feet, reaching straight into the sky.

The towering tower is the home castle of the Hightower family. It is located at the exit of the old town port. It is both a castle and a lighthouse. The highest point is burning with raging flames day and night, which can provide navigation marks for sea ships within hundreds of nautical miles!
According to what Lynn learned from Margaery, Old Town is ruled by the ancient Hightower family.

The Hightower family was originally the lord of this place with natural monarchy. Their family is well-known for being proficient in trade, good at watching the situation and not easily intervening in the disputes of the Seven Kingdoms.

The current lord of Oldtown is Lord Leighton Hightower,

Lynn stepped into the old town, and as soon as he entered, he gave Lynn a great surprise.

This city is different from any city in Westeros. It has a unique flavor, whether it is a harmonious combination of trickles or torrential rivers, plus dotted canals accompanied by cobbled bluestone streets.Converged into a picture scroll of Jiangnan water town with small bridges and flowing water.

It is different from the Dunghill King's Landing, the political center of Westeros, and it is also different from Storm's End, which looks tough and tough.The old town is clean and fresh, but the various streets and alleys make the old town a delicate and elegant town with smoke and smoke.

But it is by no means a small town. The Old Town is the largest port in Westeros, one of the five major cities, and a trade center for land and sea!

Ships from all over the world gathered here, and their routes covered the entire Wester Midsummer Islands, the Free Trade City, and some other places across the narrow sea.

Lin En thought for a while, this is probably equivalent to a small town style magic city?

"maybe!"

Compared with here, my own Storm's End seems not so satisfactory, at least in terms of urban construction, it is only a few levels behind!

It's a pity, I'm not here to do this today, Lin En grabbed a fat man by the side of the road and asked,
"Friend, do you know how to get to Xuecheng?"

The fat man was tall and mighty, with stubble all over his face, but it was surprising when he opened his mouth. He looked at Lin En with some fear, and said stammeringly:
"That's right, right next to the Miwine River." Then he pointed to a path heading north,

Lin En knew that his height was indeed oppressive to ordinary people, so he was not surprised. After nodding his thanks, he was ready to leave.

Unexpectedly, the fat man said again,
"Where am I going, I can take you there."

Yo, still a warm heart!

"Well, what's your friend's name?" asked Lynn.
"My name is Samwell Tarly".
