Chapter 206 Too Miserable

The shopkeeper walked up to the two of them in a few steps, pinched the female dwarf by the neck like a chicken, lifted her up in the air, and cursed: "Who can tell me what happened? Damn it, let Benello burn to death Come on, these two freaks, my porcelain bowl and jug are all broken."

"The noseless ugly ghost probably fucked the dwarf, but he didn't want to take responsibility, and then the dwarf came to kill the wrongdoer with a dagger." A Tyroshi sailor with a purple beard said seriously.

"Yes, I'm not responsible for your father's wife, I'm sorry." The little devil struggled to get up, wiped the blood from his lips, and grinned.

"Excuse me for what?" the big sailor asked blankly.

"Haha" The people next to him laughed loudly, and the atmosphere was extremely joyous.

"Forget it, Hugo Xishan, do you really want to die here?" Halton slapped Tyrion, walked to the opposite of the shopkeeper, looked at the writhing female dwarf, and said with a frown, "You Why did you assassinate my companion?"

"They killed him, my brother, woo woo woo!" The dwarf girl seemed to have lost all her courage and strength, hanging on the shopkeeper's hand like a rag doll, and began to howl.

"Who killed your brother? Me?" Tyrion asked, limping over, frowning.

"Sailor, a sailor from the Seven Kingdoms, my brother and I competed in the square, they followed us, and when they found out that I was a woman, they let me go, but Op was caught and beheaded.

You kill your parents, you deserve to die!But my poor brother died in your place. ' the girl sobbed.

The others, including Dany, were all in a daze, but Tyrion suddenly showed surprise and shock, obviously he understood what was going on.

"Is that the one riding the pig?" He asked with a complicated expression.

"I ride a dog, Opp rides a pig." The female dwarf said with tears in her eyes.

"Put her down, shopkeeper," sighed Tyrion.

"Who will compensate me for the loss?" the tall middle-aged man asked.

"Okay, how much are a few porcelain bowls worth?" An old woman a few steps away scolded.

It was a widow by the water. She was sitting in a small alcove in the stone wall. Although the distance was less than five meters, vine potted plants with large green leaves covered the side wall, and the small alcove in the shadow was easy to see. be ignored.

But for the widow sitting on the tall stone chair in the alcove, most of the scenes in the public rest area on the first floor can be seen at a glance.

Dany looked over and found that there was also a stack of fried grasshoppers on the stone table in front of the widow. Noticing her gaze, the old widow grinned at her.

"What's your name, poor child?" the widow asked the weeping dwarf.

"Pennie, my name is Penny."

"Big Val, take the dwarf girl back to her room, give her a drink, and change into clean clothes." The widow ordered the maid beside her.

There are two red-haired round-faced maids on the left and one on the right, twin sisters, with wine glasses tattooed on their faces.

The slave on the left left the alcove and took Penny away silently. Except for Dany and Barristan, the rest of the onlookers dispersed consciously.

The widow looked at Tyrion up and down, and said with a smile: "Short wax gourd, it seems that I have to help you once, Volantis is not a place for dwarves to settle down! In this way, you go back and wait, and I will inform you as soon as I have news." Send someone to notify you."

"You are a kind person." The dwarf thanked him with a crooked bow.

"Thank you." Halton also saluted excitedly.

"Okay, my guest is here, you go down." The old widow waved.

At this time, Tyrion also noticed Dany on the side, but he only gave her a puzzled look and left. As for Barristan with a white beard, he was directly ignored.

That's right, there are too many girls with silver hair and purple eyes in Volantis.

"This thing has been cleaned up, and it tastes better than delicacies from mountains and seas." The old woman picked up a fried grasshopper herself, and pushed the plate towards Dany.

Dany gently placed the gold-blue superb opal bracelet on the table and said, "This is a gift for Madam."

Apart from a stack of fried grasshoppers, seven or eight gifts were piled up on the stone table, including a pure flagon jug, a gorgeously decorated and thin transparent jade flower fan, an ancient bronze dagger engraved with runes, and even There is also a shiny bronze music box the size of a washbasin.

—from Astapor, the bronze sea ship above will slide in circles as the music plays.

After the old widow picked up the bracelet and watched it carefully, she took a grasshopper and chewed it, "Well, it's mixed with Volanti's unique black pepper, which is crisp, spicy and refreshing. A glass of wine would be even better."

Without the widow's orders, the remaining twin girls immediately took out a jug of wine from the alcove, two glasses of wine, golden wine as bright as the sun.

"This is the most precious gift I received today." The old widow put the bracelet on her right hand, looked at it, and sighed: "30 years ago, I also had a pair of jade hands worthy of it. Now, alas, I am old." .”

Dani took a sip of the golden wine from Qingting Island and asked, "I don't know if Madam has any orders for me?"

"It wasn't the old man who was looking for you, but now the old man is happy to talk to the priest." The widow said with a smile.

"Who is looking for me?"

"Shadowbinder Tam."

"Her?" Dani asked puzzled, "What's the matter?"

"Shadowbinder is from Asshai, the great wizard Marachor brought in, for the purpose" a light flashed in the old widow's black eyes, "Hatch the dragon!"

"I know that too."

"Shadowbinder is very optimistic about you. After the death of Fire Mage Lisbon, she intends to let you take his place—"

"Lisbon is dead? The fire mage Lisbon who participated in the rally last night?" Dany was too shocked and directly interrupted the widow.

"Hey, it's him, and he's too greedy." The old woman nodded and sighed, "Through the magical witchcraft of the 'Three Gods Returning to the Cave', the mage won money from merchants and travelers in the morning. The 3000 Jinhui coins were all converted into gold coins, which was a big |sack, and he just carried it out like that.

It is said that magic has revived in recent years due to the miraculous hatching of dragons by the Dragon Queen.

The old man is an ordinary person who doesn't even know the simplest witch spells, but the old man has many friends who are wizards, and he is very aware of the limits of a wizard's power - under normal circumstances, it is not as useful as a rusty dagger.

The fire mage once again proved this point. In an alley near Tianshui Street, his throat was cut, his abdomen was pierced, and even his clothes were stripped. "

"So, bad?!" Dany didn't know what to say.

The first genius in the Western Continent, the No. 1 young man known as "East Quesili", just died in the stinky ditch like this!

"Why did he go to such a remote place with a big bag of gold coins?" Dany asked curiously.

"Priest Leila is not a local. There may be some misunderstandings. Sweetwater Street is not remote at all. There are many banks there, including a branch of the Iron Bank. The fire mage won so much money in public. Save the money."

"Has the murderer been caught?" Dany asked.

"Not yet, but"

The old widow turned to a few mercenaries who were drinking not far away, "Did you see the table for recruiting mercenary groups outside the door? Recently, Volantis has almost absorbed wild mercenaries from the entire western continent. They did."

"Alas, Lisbon owes me a Valyrian steel dagger!" Dany lamented.

"Oh, what else?"

After Dani gave a general account of the deal between the two, the old widow said thoughtfully, "No wonder Wizard Tam gave you that spot."

"What quota?"

"Lisbon is the most outstanding transcendent in Volantis. He is one of the dragon hatching mages formed by Marachor. Now that he is dead, Tam, who is in charge of this matter, plans to let you replace the fire mage." The old widow explained road.

"But I'm just uh, Priest of the Seven Gods." Dani said awkwardly.

"Maybe Shadowbinder just wants to make it up to you. When she comes back in the evening, you can ask her yourself."

After explaining Tam's entrustment, the old widow did not let Dani leave, but chatted about other topics.

"I heard that Priest Layla just came from New Ghis, and she is quite familiar with the policies of the Dragon Queen?" The old woman stared at Dani with shrewd eyes like a fox, not wanting to let go of the slightest expression on her face.

"Look at me, Galaxy Purple Eyes, I'm pretty good, almost exactly the same as the legendary dragon queen—of course, not the appearance in the opera of Guise—can you not feel curious and admired for that legendary figure? "Dani spread her hands and said openly.

"That's right, if it wasn't for your temperament, even Xiaojiabiyu, who didn't have the decisiveness and heroism, I almost thought I saw the Dragon Queen." The old woman nodded.

Hehe, you are well-informed, old and cunning, and you don't know that "dragons can be big or small, they can rise and hide; they can make clouds and fog when they are big, and they can hide when they are small; they can fly between the universe when they rise, and they can hide when they hide." Lurking within the waves" this sentence!

"I thought everyone was misled by the opera, thinking that the Dragon Queen had a head as big as a bucket, a height of ten feet, and a waist of ten feet." Dany laughed.

After the joke was over, she asked again: "I have indeed done in-depth research on the Dragon Queen. What kind of situation would Madam want to know?"

"Well, I heard that the Dragon Queen is very strict with merchants who use slaves. If she takes down Volantis, how will she deal with people like Lao Shen? To tell you the truth, although Lao Shen was born as a slave, he also has a large number of slave workers. With slaves accumulating rich family property." The old widow blinked and asked nervously.

"Madame will lose a lot of money. First, the slave must be freed and get his salary from you for the years he has worked.

They have the right to decide their own future, they can take the money to start their own businesses, and they can also sign a labor agreement with you and continue to serve you.

Secondly, the Dragon Queen will give you different amounts of fines according to your evaluation among slaves, and those with a bad reputation may lose their heads.

Finally, the Dragon Queen will count the number of residents in the city, and will compulsorily purchase a batch of land and houses from you. At least each new free citizen must be allocated 15 acres of fertile land and his own house. "

While Dany was talking, the old widow nodded. Although she didn't look obviously unhappy, her brows were wrinkled enough to kill mosquitoes.

"Hehe, it's very strict, right?" Dani said with a smile.

"The Dragon Queen didn't just have a sudden outburst of sympathy, she really wanted to abolish slavery!" the old widow sighed.

Dani nodded and said, "No one can shake her determination."

"Will the black wall nobles who oppose her be treated differently from the businessmen who support her?"

"Of course." Dany said affirmatively, "The Dragon Queen abolished slavery, but not officials and aristocracy.

All those who own slaves will lose part of their wealth, but those who oppose her will also lose their privileges, and those who support her will be rewarded and become a new nobleman, which is so realistic and utilitarian. "

"It's also very smart." The old widow frowned and laughed.
