Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 187 Coming to Volantis

Volantis, the first colony of the ancient Valyrian Freedom Fortress, is powerful and has a long history. Owner".

At around [-]:[-] p.m., half of the blood-red and swollen sun was submerged under the sea surface, sparkling and reflecting light, and hundreds of ships in the harbor were as red as blood.

"Did you see that pier belongs to the noble master Black Wall, and the two hundred warships moored there are all prepared for that woman."

Cadillac stood up from the back of the elephant, stood on the old mahjong mat cushion covered with disconnected wires, and pointed excitedly at the queue of long boats stretching for more than ten miles at the pier ahead.

Beige sails, dark red sails, dark green sails, pale yellow sails

Flags fluttered from the masts of every warship, including the maiden banner of the Lysians, the skeleton crown banner of Volantene, the harpy banner of the Ghisians, and the jeweled gold crown of the Tourmaline Brotherhood of Qarth. The flag, there is a white elephant flag with a green background from the Eastern Elephant Island, and there are

There are more than two hundred ships, not a single flat-bottomed merchant ship, all of which are highly maneuverable rowing boats and long ramming warships, like soldiers ready to go, neatly lined up on the school field of the sea.

It is daunting, at least like the front of the car, the driver with the wheel tattoo on his face looks in awe.

His name is Cadillac, a blond and blue-eyed Rhoyna, in his early twenties, thin and small, less than 1.6 meters five, with a long, freckled pony face that stands out more and more.

After only resting in the wasteland for an hour, Dany and Barristan rode their dragons and continued eastward. After less than an hour of flying, large tracts of well-organized manors began to appear in the green fields.

Flying west for another half an hour, the two landed in a birch forest with tall branches. After walking for two miles, they came across a small hotel on the side of the loess road with a banner of "Aunt Kelly's Mutton Pie".

The owner, Aunt Kelly, is a middle-aged woman with silver hair and blue eyes, fair and delicate skin.

Dany was not at all surprised to see the silver-haired and purple-eyed Dany. Most of the girls from the owner of the nearby manor had ancient Valyrian blood, and the woman had seen too many such people.

However, Dany's appearance still made Aunt Kelly have a lot of good feelings. When she heard that the two were going to buy a horse, she warned: "Little girl, in the eyes of our locals and even foreign ship owners, hiking is detrimental to dignity. , Riding a horse is too barbaric, and people with status and status often travel in sedan chairs or elephant carts.

I don't think you are a child of ordinary people, why don't you hire an elephant car?

It so happened that my cousin was an important owner of elephant carts, and he has businesses in both the eastern and western towns of Volantis.

Of course, I think you two must be noble knights with long swords hanging around your waists. A knight cannot live without a horse. The horses in my stables"

Aunt Kelly, Barabara, Dany bought two white and one red tame horses from her in a daze, two carrot and mutton pies wrapped in cartons, four bottles of red wine that was said to come from the land of the setting sun, and a pack of snacks.

Finally hired an elephant cart from her old cousin's house.

A total of five Jinhui coins were spent.

Aunt Kelly patted her basketball-like chest and promised that she would not only give them a [-]% discount, but also wipe off at least two silver coins.

Dani kept a blank face and didn't ask anything. She silently handed over six Jinhui coins, and said to Aunt Kelly's astonished eyes, "You are honest and honest. I will give you a gold coin as a tip."

The aunt held the six gold coins tightly, and she didn't have the smile on her face when she was expecting to get five gold coins. Her blue eyes were full of remorse and self-blame: I was too honest to let go of a big fish from now on. Finally, the price of my mutton pie will increase, and I will slaughter every unknown passenger!

Volantis is rich in elephants, or in other words, the city-states in the south near the Summer Sea have elephants, and Slaver's Bay also has elephants, but Volantis has a lot of dwarf gray elephants.

Using elephants to plow land was not original to Dany, the Volantenes had done it before.

Not only can they plow land, but they can also pull carts, transport goods, ride horses, and fight. Elephants are doing almost everything a horse can do.

The Volantenes had the domesticated dwarf elephants of a kind with mostly gray or white skin, dirty white, so they were called dwarf elephants.

The "short" here is only compared to the mammoth which is three or four meters tall. In fact, the adult dwarf elephant can also grow to 2.2-2.5 meters.

For example, the elephant driving Daniela is 2.4 meters long, and its white skin is like trampled snow, looking a little dirty.

The style of the elephant cart is similar to the bullock carts of other city-states. The enlarged version of the bullock cart has higher wheels than Danni.

The huge wooden wheels are inlaid with rusty iron sheets. Passengers sit on cushioned brown mahjong soft chairs between the wheels, and the driver rides on the back of an elephant with a mahjong mat underneath.

Valyria has a hot climate.

From the muddy road with flying loess to the Valyrian Avenue, which was solidified with brown livestock dung, the traffic became denser along the way, and almost all the free folk took sedan chairs or elephant carts.

Well, the people who walk have slave tattoos on their faces and very poor clothes.

For example, the driver of an elephant cart will have a wheel tattoo on one cheek and wear nothing but a loincloth and sandals.

His bare back was tanned and shiny, like a layer of oiled old cowhide.

After walking for four or five miles, they left the area of ​​the manor outside the city and entered the east end of the West City Wharf. The elephant cart stopped at a two-story inn. The middle-aged man said a few words.

Then, the middle-aged Volantene yelled loudly: "Cadillac, go to the elephant pen and bring a high-level white elephant, and replace it with a golden elephant."

Then he got out of Dany's car, and explained with a smile: "My lord, Olier, the manager of the Valyrian elephant car dealership at the docks.

Guest, did you see it too?There is a license plate behind the elephant car, which can distinguish the destination of the elephant car.Elephant cars outside the city are not allowed to enter the inner city, so the two guests must change to another car.

Please rest assured that I will not charge you any extra money. I will also arrange for you the best elephant driver and the most gorgeous elephant cart to take the two of you to the merchant's house in the west city safely. "

Dany nodded numbly, what else could she say?

Don't think I can't hear you if you're far away, that driver's voice is so loud

——The guest was so rich that he gave Mrs. Kelly a gold coin as a reward.

However, Cadillac is indeed skilled, and its ability to control an elephant is [-]% that of Dani's ability to control a dragon.

The previous coachman still needed to use the whip and the rein to command the elephant. Cadillac sat cross-legged on the back of the white elephant, chatting with Dany while using the local language—Varerian with a grand accent—to order the elephant. Like turning left and turning right, moving forward, slowing down.

If it weren't for the intense mental fluctuations, Dany would have thought he was a shapechanger, an elephant spirit.

"Where did the guest come from?" Cadillac asked.

"Braavos, this is my distant relative in Westeros, who came to join our family because of the war." Dany laughed.

No one doubted her words as soon as she uttered them, for her Valyrian accent was distinctly Braavosian.

"Well, I saw you coming from the east, I thought"

The horse-faced young man who had been talking eloquently suddenly became a little depressed.

Dany rolled her eyes and said, "I'm from Braavos, but I've just come back from the East this time."

"Really?" Cadillac immediately cheered up again, and lowered his voice, "Have you seen that woman?"

"Which woman?"

In the evening, the sun was setting, and the streets near the port were crowded like sardines. The strange smell made Dany take out a handkerchief and cover her nose.

Cadillac patted the elephant's back to slow it down, while he pointed at the fleet at the western pier, blushing and said, "The woman they're going to deal with."

"I don't know who they are going to deal with, you can just say the name." Dany asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Hey, that's a person who can't even mention his name," the young man climbed behind the elephant's butt, his voice was almost inaudible, "Slave Bay, Queen of Dragons."

"Oh, so it's her," Dany suddenly realized, "but why can't you mention her name?"

Barristan rubbed his nose and turned away, leaving the stage to his queen.

"It's not that I can't mention it, but" Cadillac pointed to the wheel tattoo on his right cheek, which represented the mark of the coachman's slave status, and said, "I can't say it, we can't say it, our master is afraid of hearing it from us." that name.

So we can only use 'that woman' instead of her.

Even so, you can't say in front of the local nobles, you won't tell my master, my guest? "

The young man's long horse face was a little distorted, and there was a little more fear in the grass-green eyes.

"No, of course not, I'm from Braavos, you forget?" Dany said with a wink.

Braavos has no slaves and has always held high the banner against slavery.

"That's right." The freckled man breathed a sigh of relief.

Dani asked curiously, "It's nearly [-] kilometers away from Slaver's Bay, why is it so harsh?"

"Well, at the beginning, when the news of Astapor just came, everyone could still talk about her freely, but since she swept the Ghis coalition forces four months ago..."

He cleverly turned over on the elephant's back, looked around, saw people everywhere on the street, and showed hesitation on his face.

"There are so many elephant cars nearby, no one pays attention to us," Dany said.

"Oh, I can't say any more." He sighed bitterly.

But in the end, he climbed onto the white elephant's ass and whispered: "Two months ago, the sea merchant brought the woman's amazing victory in defeating the Ghislian army in Slaver's Bay, and the whole of Volantis was boiling. One night, Master Qiheda got up in the middle of the night inside the black wall, and accidentally found the butcher at home sharpening his knife under the eaves

I don't know the real situation, but early the next morning, the butcher Geer's family was beheaded, tarred, and hung on a spear by the black wall, so that passers-by in the street below can look up.So, you get it? "

Regardless of whether Dany understood it or not, the blond slave stood tall on the back of the elephant with a carp, pointed to the deep south ocean, and shouted loudly: "Guest, don't believe me. We Volantenes You know, even if all the more than 100 islands of your Braavos are sunk into the port, big ships can come in and out freely. This is the widest and deepest seaport in the world!"

"Yes, we in Volantis have the world's largest port."

The nearby pedestrians echoed, and the Volantene who had been staring at him and Dani suspiciously before also showed a look of surprise.

This is a smart young man, just the kind of guy the revolution needs!

Dany thought with a smile.
