Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 19 Purgatory Wasteland

The Dothraki respect the strong, and despise life and death—whether other people's or their own. They have no entertainment, and fighting is common.

They often draw a knife to divide life and death because of trivial matters.

"In Westeros, are there any tournaments among knights?" Dany asked Jorah.

Jorah nodded and said, "We all have armor, and even in group melee, we rarely die. Instead, we can learn sword fighting at the knight apprentice stage, let them put on full-body leather armor, and compete with unopened blunt swords."

This kind of competition is definitely not as fair as real swords and guns, because many Ma people take the agile way, and killing them with one blow is their pursuit.

Blunt swords and leather armor require higher strength and physical strength.

But in order not to die, Dany can only accept Jorah's suggestion.

In the evening, with the newly drawn black flag waving in the wind, her khalasar began to move slowly south.

Take the sun and stars as the reference direction.

Before leaving, Dani even sent people to the funeral pyre to dig out the melted gold.

"This is Drogo's leftover. He takes all he needs to the Kingdom of the Night, and we will reward the rest." Facing the hesitant centaur, Dany said foolishly.

Drogo's dragonbone bow was also retrieved.

The 'keel' in the keel bow is not a metaphor, it is the keel.

Not to mention the dozens of dragon corpses of the Targaryen dynasty, the ancient Valyrian civilization has only died out 300 years ago, and the Valyrian Freedom Fortress at its peak could dispatch 300 dragons to form a conquering army.

Dragons also have a lifespan limit. They will die and leave indelible keels after death, so many keels have been handed down to the world.

The keel is rich in iron, the more iron it contains, the color continues to deepen, and finally it is jet black.

The burning of ordinary flames can't hurt them. Even young dragons can withstand the high temperature of burning firewood, let alone the bones of adult dragons?

In addition to the gold and dragon bones, several centaurs also found a pile of cracked stones and fossilized dragon eggs in the ashes.

Putting those stones together, three stone eggs were completely restored!

"Dragons don't come out of stone eggs." The centaur looked at each other, then they seemed to think of something, and shouted in horror, "Khalishi gave birth to a three-headed dragon! Dosh Kalim's prophecy has come true, Khaleesi Give birth to the steed that rides the world!"

Dani, who was alarmed by the cries of the centaur, was also horrified after seeing the stone egg.

"What kind of existence is a dragon?" She had doubts in her heart.

Regardless of how the dragons were born, they had to leave.The remaining scorched bones of the cremation altar were gathered together, buried in a deep pit, and the team set off.

On the first night, Dany's khalasar only walked ten kilometers.

Five kilometers after they left the station, they came across a stream for Drogo Kalasar to get water from. After being tossed by more than [-] people and hundreds of thousands of livestock for four or five days, the gurgling stream had only a layer of mud left.

Dany changed her course of action and decided to follow this wetland.

After another five kilometers, when they came across a new shallow puddle, Dany asked the khalasar to stop, where they would rest for a day or two.

"The 87 cattle and sheep must all be killed." Dany told her people, "The deeper you go into the wilderness, the less water and fodder you will have. They cannot be left to compete with horses for resources."

After Kalasar was reorganized by Dani, the allocation of human resources was more reasonable, and the efficiency improved a lot.

The mutton is made into jerky, and the sheepskin is not even treated with the outer layer of wool. It is dried in the shade by the women of the horse people and sewn into a hooded cloak.

The wilderness is too hot. Wearing a cloak can avoid the sun during the day, reduce the evaporation of body water, and keep warm at night.

It's true that the Dothraki are nomads, but nomads can't guarantee that everyone has fur coats and fur cloaks. Dani's original hundred and ten Khas tribes naturally have no shortage of clothes.

But now she has almost 200 more people, [-]% of them are old and weak who have been abandoned, and they don't even have Dothraki vests to change

Dany also has her own leather cloak.

When Daenerys followed Drogo to the Dothraki Sea for the first time, he hunted a white lion just for her, a lion taller than her silver pony, with a terrifying head that formed a hood , covering her head, and the lion skin became a natural cloak, hanging from her shoulders to her back.

On the evening of the third day, the khalasar began to advance again, and this time they walked all night, not stopping until the sun rose above the horizon the next day.

In 10 hours, I walked about [-] kilometers.

At this time, Dani was in trouble. More than a dozen Tanqi searched the surrounding five kilometers, but they still couldn't find a clean water source.

Along the dry riverbed, they could see from time to time a dry, shallow, stagnant pool of bitter water exposed to the scorching sun.

But it is a pool of death that even animals don't drink. It is full of various germs, silt, rotting animal carcasses, and even a strong smell of sulfur.

Dani became more and more curious about this world. Such a large plain surrounded by mountains from east to west, with prairie to the north and sea to the south, turned out to be a barren Gobi.

Forget about the Gobi, where does the sulfur come from in the water source?

This is not a hot spring

Thinking of hot springs, Dany suddenly had a thought in her mind. She asked Ser Jorah: "I heard that ancient Valyria was built on 14 volcanoes. Was that continent near the Summer Sea like this before?" Purgatory scene?"

"What do you mean?" Jorah wondered.

"Could there be volcanoes hidden under the red wasteland we're in now? So the rivers would be evaporated, and the pools would still smell of sulfur," she speculated.

What Dany wants to say is that both ancient Valyria and the red wasteland are peculiar geographical environments with thin crust, and the surface is too close to the underground magma layer.

"Because there are demons haunting here, there is a sulfurous smell." The maid Doria interjected.

Even though she was hiding in the tent, her face was still flushed with heat, like steamed prawns, sweat flowed down her neck in streams, and her exquisite figure was fully exposed under the thin silk clothes .

"Did you see a demon?" Dany snorted.

"I seem to be possessed by a demon, and I feel terrible all over." She rubbed her heart with difficulty, panting, "It's biting my heart, and it's going to devour my soul soon!"

The Lys girl's eyes were terrified, and she said it with such conviction that Dany almost believed it.

"You have heat stroke!" she said.

"What is heat stroke?" Yi Li asked while fanning herself.

Dany is not afraid of the heat, and the maids fan themselves and don't have to serve her.

"Princess, are you talking about fever?" Jorah struggled to take off his vest, revealing the rich black fur on his chest like a bear.

"Almost." As she said, Dany handed her mare's milk leather bag to Doria, "Don't drink water, the minerals in your body are gone"

"Forget it, drink my mare's milk."

"But, this is your quota." Doria looked dazed, just reached out and touched the leather bag, then retracted like an electric shock, shook her head and said, "I can still hold on, I can drink water."

Dany didn't try to persuade her, and directly stuffed the leather bag into her hand.

Due to lack of material and uncertain future, Dani established a rationing system long before departure.

The water can be drunk as you like, because you have been along the river before, and you can always find water.

Horse meat can also be eaten casually. Even if the dried meat is so hard that it can be used as a knife to cut wood, everyone can't eat much.

It is mainly mare's milk, salt, wine, and fruit, which need to be rationed in limited quantities.

Look at the situation, even the water

No, no!

There must be enough water, otherwise, even if they can get out of the wasteland, more than half of them will die.

Thinking of this, she couldn't sit still anymore, and said to the maid: "I will camp men and women separately, and everyone can be naked in their own tents. You can take off your clothes later."

"The tent is like a stove, and it's useless if you take off your clothes. In the grasslands before, if you put two layers of sheepskin mattresses on the ground, you would wake up from the cold at night, but now you step on the ground and it burns your feet." Yili sighed.

Dany teased, "You can shovel off the top layer of sand—"

Speaking of this, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration and laughed, "Why did I not think of such a simple method until now."

"What method?" Jorah asked curiously.

Dani waved her hand, "Let's go out and have a look."

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Dani felt a blur in front of her eyes. Grandpa Sun almost brought his face close to her, and the white light cast like a beam of light instantly made people enter a world of white light.

She lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, finally recovering her vision, and Dani once again had the illusion that she was really in purgatory.

The dazzling white light shone on the flat red sandstone ground, reflecting almost the same intensity of red light, like the red light of a flame, and the large dense red light formed a red sea of ​​fire. People walking on this wasteland seemed to be in purgatory. for a walk.

God, there is also the smell of sulfur lingering on the tip of the nose, this

Sure enough, there are only wrong names and no wrong nicknames. This is "Red Purgatory"!

Quickly putting on the white lion hood, Dani looked around her camp. All the tents were quiet, like dozens of graves piled up on the ground.

She walked to the nearest one, ready to remind everyone to separate men and women so that they could undress for the heat.

But as soon as she walked to the door of the big tent sewn like cowhide, sheepskin, and horse skin patches, she heard a suppressed panting.

The mixed kind.

Dani opened her mouth wide, with a look of disbelief on her face.

Until she took a step up quietly and opened the corner of the curtain

It seems that I am thinking too much, Ma Min doesn't care about the difference between men and women.

Moreover, they are not Doria, they seem to be super adaptable, and they are very tough and resistant to "fuck".

Stepping back quietly, Dany walked to the edge of the river bed stepping on the hot gravel without disturbing the passionate horsemen.

Forty or fifty healthy horses unsaddled, their ears drooping, facing the scorching sun above their heads, scattered in an open area, chewing hard on the yellow-brown tough devil grass growing from under the rocks and from the bottom of dead trees.

"Karixi, are you here?" A little old man came out of nowhere, and suddenly appeared in front of Dani.

"Afanti, can the horse regain its strength before dark?" Dani asked something she couldn't believe.

This little old man who helped Kalasar graze the horses was the "multi-dynasty veteran" who had served twelve khals, and now Dany was No. 13.

Uh, a bit unlucky!

Avanti is short and thin, with a slightly hunched back, bald and gray hair, and a braid that is not as long as his second child is barely tied behind his head. dried oranges.

Only a pair of deformed eyes, no longer resembling almonds, are still full of divine light that symbolizes life.

He opened his toothless mouth and gave Dany a flattering, ugly smile.

"Kalixi, if there is enough clear water and the unique devil grass in this wasteland, they can last for at least half a month."

Dani breathed a sigh of relief. If her team didn't take a detour, it would have been half a month to cross the Gobi.

"However, all the horses here are healthy," Avanti told Dany again worriedly, "except for the hundred boys who ride strong and good horses, most of them are old, sick, lame, weak and bad-tempered. brute.

Even in the Great Grass Sea, with abundant forage, they can't last long

Everyone knows that such a horse should have been killed for its meat.Our former Karasar used this as food. "

"I understand, there will be other arrangements then." Dani said calmly.
