Chapter 10 The Oath

Drogo's khalasar has stayed in this desolate Gobi for two days, and the news that "Khal is about to die" is circulating in the tribe all the time.

It wasn't really gossip, because everyone knew: Khal Drogo was too sick to mount a horse, so the khalasar couldn't move without khal leading him.

That night Mirri Mazduur announced with ashen face: "Khal's wound is festering, and there is no healer to save him. All that remains is to guide him on the dark path, and let him ride into the night without pain." country."

Daenerys pretended to be distraught and begged her to save her 'sun and star'.

Mirri Mazduel looked at Dany and her bulging belly with those night-black eyes, and her voice was surprisingly quiet, almost like raving: "There is indeed a method, a kind of magic.

But this spell is not only difficult to perform, but also very dark. For some people, death is easier.

I learned this spell in Asshai, and paid dearly for it—my mentor was from the Shadowlands."

"Blood witch." She spit out a word softly, and for the first time exposed her identity as a witch and witch.

She had been denying her identity as a witch before, only saying that she was a doctor and a priestess.

There seemed to be some kind of dark magic in her voice, and Dany, who was roasted by the blazing fire, suddenly felt that her neck was strangled by a frozen and wet tentacle - she couldn't breathe, her brain was starved of oxygen, and her thinking was fuzzy.

She heard herself say in a daze, "Do it, save me!"

A stream of hot magma suddenly gushed out from the lower abdomen, the heat stimulated her nerves and made her wake up all of a sudden.

——The dragon egg has been hidden in the abdomen close to the flesh.

She suppressed the horror in her heart, showing hesitation, "Kayo's bloodrider will not agree, is there no other way?"

The Witch Witch was startled, shook her head and said, "No."

Dani pursed her lips, looked straight into her eyes, and said coldly, "You admit that you are a witch?"

"Really?" Mirri Mazduur seemed confident, and smiled, "Madame Silver, only the Witch and Witch can save your warrior right now. Moreover, you have to pay the price."

Dany looked at Drogo, who was unknown, and asked, "What do you want? Gold, horses..."

The Witch and Witch interrupted her unceremoniously, saying, "It's not about gold or horses, ma'am, this is blood magic, and only death can buy life."

"Death? You want my life?"

The Witch assured her, "It wasn't your death, Khaleesi."

Her eyes glanced at Dani's lower abdomen from time to time, her eyes were dark and malicious.

Daenerys decided not to entangle her any more, and asked directly: "Whose death can awaken my sun and stars? It must not be his steed?"

"Madame Silver, you are very courageous and dare to face the cruelest reality—you have already guessed it, the equivalent exchange of blood magic, using the life of a noble khal to exchange another great khal from the god of night The new life of the riding king."

Mirri Mazduul smiled and pointed at Dany's belly, like a demon from hell staring at the food sacrificed by unclean people, "Khal Drogo is not only your sun and star, he is also your guarantee of safety .

As long as your husband survives, there will be a large group of children waiting for you to raise in the future, who may give birth to twins representing the sun and the stars, just like the silver lady. "

Dani suddenly changed color, picked up the teapot in front of her and threw it at it.

"Oh!"

The Witch Witch didn't expect her to react in such a way, her forehead was smashed, and blood mixed with milky mare's milk flowed down her cheeks.

"Ago, Rakalo, drag the Witch down, gag and tie her up." She ordered loudly to the guard on duty outside the house.

Two days and nights passed, and Drogo's khalasar was on the verge of collapse. Every night, Dany could hear the cries of Yili Jiqi and other handmaidens.

This morning, she even saw Doria's chest, abdomen, and thighs covered with bruises.

It was made by Koso and Hargo.

Khal's bloodriders could share everything except their mounts with khal, and Drogo wouldn't allow them to touch Dany, but Dany's handmaidens were always what they wanted.

They weren't this far before, but now

"Everyone knows that Kaa is about to die. According to the Dothraki custom, his bloodrider will live and die with him. Koso and the others are so frantic when they see that their life span is approaching—the dead don't have to worry about anything. ' Ser Jorah told her wearily.

In fact, he was the one who worked the hardest these two days. He hadn't taken off the heavy armor from the moment he put it on. He stood guard outside the door during the day and set up a seat at the door at night, with a gleaming sharp sword across his lap.

"Besides, this place is barren. The creek three miles away was almost drunk by people and horses. The key point is that there is no pasture, and the livestock are almost unable to hold on." Jorah rubbed Shenguang's dim eyes, and said with some despair: "The Dothraki They will never watch their horses die of starvation and thirst, and soon they will do something, not tonight but tomorrow."

I deliberately, deliberately watched Drogo go in the wrong direction, deliberately chose this barren land that could not sustain the existence of a huge khalasar for a long time.

Because I hope that all the Caskos will lead their respective Cass tribes to disperse on their own after they can't hold on.

I must not allow ambitious people to compete for the position of Khaos near my little Cass, otherwise, her Cass will not survive the melee, and as Khaleesi, her life may not be saved.

Feeling that the last moment had come, she said to the knight with haggard face and black eye sockets: "I guess I will give birth tonight, go and call Mirri Mazduel."

Pain flashed in Sir Jorah's eyes, and he really wanted to tell his princess: In this situation, don't expect any more from your child, otherwise you will not be able to bear the huge blow that is bound to come.

"Kalisi, didn't you say she wanted to sacrifice your child?" he said hoarsely.

"Don't worry, as long as she sings the song of childbirth, she won't let her come near my body." Dany comforted him.

The Witch and Witch has been locked in a small tent nearby for the past two days. Apart from the disheveled clothes and hair, she is in good spirits.

"I heard the whispers of many mounted warriors. Your husband's tribe is about to collapse. Only his return from the darkness can change everything. Your fate, the fate of your future children." She persuaded Dany calmly.

"My stomach hurts, I'm about to give birth, first help me give birth to the baby." Dani lay on the blanket, covered in 'sweat', 'as if' she just took a hot bath with her clothes on.

"I'll help you." Mirri Mazduel was stunned, and was about to walk towards Dani's bed.

"Wait a minute." Dany asked Irri to stop her, and said, "I've had a normal delivery, so you can sing the birth song through the screen."

Then she said seriously to the maid again: "Yi Li, you stay on guard outside, if she has abnormalities, shoot her to death immediately with a crossbow arrow."

"You don't trust me?" The Witch Witch lowered her face.

"Yes, at least until my son is born safely, I won't give you any more trust. You should know why." Dany glared at her.

Mirri Mazdull pondered in her heart with a blank face: Do you want her to give birth to the child?In any case, her son, who was prophesied to be "the steed that rode the world," was doomed.Die at the hands of the new centaur khal, or be sacrificed yourself to the devils of the shadows.

Why didn't the silver-haired woman have a nervous breakdown as expected?The seductive black magic mixed in the language last time didn't work either

I can't give her the cruelest revenge with my own hands, I am so unwilling.

No matter what she thinks in her heart, Mirri Mazduel can only sing the song of childbirth honestly, facing the Dothraki maid who is staring at her with a crossbow arrow next to her.

The delivery went smoothly this time, Dani only howled for half an hour, and the baby cried softly from inside the wooden screen.

"Don't move!" Yi Li warned loudly.

The witch stopped walking around the wooden screen, turned her head to look at the maid and said, "Your Khaleesi needs me, and there are more complicated tasks to do after the child is born."

In fact, she had no other thoughts at all at this time, she just felt that today's production process was very wrong, and she really wanted to see it with her own eyes.

"Stop, don't move." Yili held the hand crossbow unmoved.

Dany said weakly inside: "Irri, let Jiki and Doria come in. Mirri Mazduur has proved her loyalty, you take her back to the camp and don't tie her up again. Well, give her some drinks meat."

That's not normal, that silver-haired woman has tricks!

The Witch and Witch was completely sure, but she just couldn't figure out what she had done and what she was going to do.

Irri, Jhiqui, and Doreah had never given birth, nor learned the art of childbirth, but thought it was all the effect of Mirri Mazduel's wondrous birthing song.

Even Sir Jorah and the others outside thought this way. After all, a few days ago, everyone saw with their own eyes that Lilith, who was on the verge of death, gave birth to a pair of auspicious omens.

Before that, all the hairless people were 100% sure that Lilith, who fell off the horse, was hopeless!

It can be seen from this that Mirri Mazduur must be an extraordinary midwifery witch doctor.

With her help, Khaleesi gave birth to her son without any problems.

When the three bloodriders, Keholo, Koso, and Hargo, were brought into the Straw Palace by Ser Jorah, they took the skinny baby in Dany's arms as the son of his khal for granted.

"My sun and star, your 'blood of my blood' is dying." Dany said casually, bowing her head and stroking the baby's thin black hair.

"Woman, Dothraki is not the same as your land of sunset," the wise old man Koholo thought he saw through Dani's absurd ambition of "hiding politics behind the curtain", and taunted unceremoniously: "Since the birth of Mamin Lake, There was never a baby Kaa.

In fact, if the khal's adult son is not the strongest khalasar fighter, he may not be able to inherit his father's khal position. "

At this point, they don't even call 'khalixi' anymore.

As Ser Jorah said, she was Khaleesi of the Hundred Thousand Horsemen when Khal Drogo was alive, and she was nothing when he was dead.

Daenerys said to them: "I have accepted my fate, Dosh Kalim of Vestothrak. But as the blood of my lord's blood, this child is his continuation and your bloodline." .

I hope that one or more of you might run away overnight and take my Rhaegal (the name of Daenerys' son, decided from the day of conception) to the north.

Vistoslak under the Notre Dame Mountain is a holy place for horsemen who do not show their weapons, do not stain blood, put aside disputes, and give up hatred.

Find the Dosh Kalin old woman who predicted that I would give birth to a 'horse riding the world', let her take back the prophecy to Rhaego, and ask her to accept Rhaego as a lifelong attendant.

If the above requirements are fulfilled, I will, as Princess of Dragonstone in 'Stormborn', swear on Rhaego's behalf: Eternal life will give up the pursuit of the inheritance rights of his biological father Khal Drogo. "
