The Winter of Ice and Fire Is Coming
Chapter 766: Midsummer Hall·Flowering Garden·Stupid Way
The Midsummer Hall was once the summer residence of the Targaryen family. The castle has only a few fortifications.
The Midsummer Hall is located in the border of Dorn, at the junction of the stormy land, the bay area and the land of Dorn, near the end of the bone road. The Bone Road is the only road that crosses the Crimson Mountains and connects Dorne to the Stormlands. "Bone Road" is what the common people say, and the official name of this road is "Stone Road".
The Dorn side of the Bone Road is guarded by the fortress of Irenwood, the home of the Irunwood family. The fortress city of Irenwood is the last pass to guard the stone road. After passing the fortress of Irunwood, you enter the Dorn realm. Prince Quentin Martell of Dorne was the adopted son and grew up in the Irenewood family.
The end of the bone road on this side of the storm is connected to the King’s Road. You can reach the Midsummer Hall along the King’s Road to the east, and to the west you can reach the Tyrell family’s high court. The wind's breath fort.
The location of the Midsummer Hall is in the stormy area, the river bay area, and the border of the three kingdoms of Dorn. In fact, it is a position that does not matter.
The Midsummer Hall was built one year after Princess Daenerys, the sister of King Darren Targaryen II, married Marlon Martel, Prince of Don.
In Aegon’s 187th year (now 299, 112 years ago), Prince Malone of Dorne married Princess Daenerys of King’s Landing. This marriage also marked that Dorn was officially included under the rule of the Targaryen royal family, and the seven kingdoms were finally reunified peacefully.
Malone knelt down to swear allegiance to King Darren II. Darren helped his wife and brother and brother-in-law and rode with him to the Baylor Church. They put a wreath at the foot of Baylor's statue to commemorate the peace the king made.
To marry Daenerys, Malone built a garden of flowing water. This is the origin of Dorn's famous water garden.
In the treaty signed between Malone and Darren, the lords of Dorne enjoyed many privileges. The Martells were allowed to hold their royal titles, which is why the Martells of Donne are still respected as princes, their sons are called princes and their daughters are respected as princesses. However, the Stark in the North, Lannister in the West, and Aylin in the Valley, who sit on an equal footing with their status, can only be called Duke rather than Prince.
The title of prince is more noble than duke!
The territory of Dorn still allows autonomy by relying on its own laws, but other kingdoms do not allow it, and must obey the laws set by the king; the people of Dorn can set and collect taxes to be paid to the Iron Throne by themselves, while other kingdoms must Obey any taxes issued by the king. Doenling pays taxes or not, and how much he pays, the Red Fort keeps one eye open.
Other kingdoms must pay heavy taxes to ensure the luxury consumption of the royal princes and princesses, but Dorn’s taxes can be paid as much as they want or even not at all.
It is said that the most turbulent Black Fire rebellion of the dynasty was caused by Black Fire's dissatisfaction with Dorn's various privileges.
In the second year after Prince Malone and Princess Daenerys got married, King Darren II also ordered the construction of the Midsummer Hall to commemorate the marriage of his sister and the complete reunification and peace of the kingdom. And because of this, the Midsummer Hall is more like a palace than a castle. —— Peace and beauty do not require military defense and soldiers and horses to defend, so there are almost no military facilities in the Midsummer Hall. It is a royal palace where the Targaryen royals take a leisurely trip to cool off the heat and cold.
In order to facilitate transportation, King’s Road was built from King’s Landing to Midsummer Hall, and it connects the Fortress of Wind’s Breath in Stormlands with the High Court of River Bend and the bone road of Dornling.
This is the arrival of the Midsummer Hall.
In the 259th year of the Aegon calendar (40 years away), Aegon Targaryen V held a large-scale banquet in the Midsummer Hall to commemorate the birth of his great-grandson Rega Targaryen. All attended this grand meeting. In this grand event, the king prepared seven dragon eggs to show respect to the seven gods. The king invited Pyromancers to incubate the seven dragon eggs with wildfire. As a result, the fire went out of control and burned most of the royal family members and participated in the event. Noble ladies, this is the tragedy of the famous Midsummer Hall.
The fire burned the palace of the Midsummer Hall into ruins, and the seven dragon eggs were never mentioned again. The whereabouts of the seven dragon eggs are also unknown.

Will and Arya rode griffins in the sky.
On one side is the virgin forest and imperial forest, on the other side are the crimson mountains and winding white bone roads of Dorn.
The Griffin hovered and slowly lowered, and below was the famous Midsummer Hall.
"If no one comes here after the fire in the Midsummer Hall, seven dragon eggs will be found." Arya said.
"Do you think anyone will search here?" Will said.
"Who is the person who came to search for?" Arya looked at the ground getting clearer and clearer, "For those who can't hatch dragon eggs, what's the point of coming to find dragon eggs, and risking being wronged by so many souls? The danger of cursing."
"I don't believe in evil spirits," Will said.
The Griffin fanned a huge air current, and the two of them did not go down immediately.
There is no one around.
The Midsummer Hall has become an unknown place.
Only Rega Targaryen, who was alive, often came here to mourn.
The land of the Three Realms is on the mountains, far away without people.
The two griffins descended slowly.
The Midsummer Hall can no longer see the aura of the old palace. Black stones, twisted weeds, and dwarf shrubs. With the breath of griffins, many rabbits, foxes and squirrels fled in the grass.
If the griffin makes a low cry, all of these small animals will be soft and crumbly, crawling on the ground, and being slaughtered.
"There is no danger!" Arya was sure.
"The legions of the Stormlands were all conquered and went to King's Landing. Dornland was separated by the Crimson Mountains. The Legions of the Bay Area were divided into two. One part went to King's Landing, and the other was to guard the border to prevent Dorn’s invasion. Here is another unknown. In fact, it's okay for me to be alone." Will said.
"You don't want me to follow you?"
"No!" Will said lightly.
Arya had several meanings behind her. Except for herself, the Stark family and Shireen did not want Will to take risks alone. After all, he was the Prime Minister of the Seven Kingdoms and the commander-in-chief of the Great Wall Legion. Once the Great Wall Legion loses control, the northern border and the royal family are the first to be threatened.
Although Arya is a little girl, there is almost no one who can beat her swordsmanship in the North.
The two jumped off the griffin and faced the ruined walls, weeds, rocks, and decayed beams. Arya said, "Will, how are we going to find?"
"It's definitely hard to find a dragon egg, so we have to start from under our feet and turn it bit by bit." Will looked at the two griffins, "We also need to use the power of the griffins, as long as the dragon eggs are buried here. Then, you will definitely find it."
"Turn over the entire ground? Such a stupid way? Why not find the location of the hall first?"
"A stupid way is the foolproof way, do it, Arya!"
