Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 37 The Second General Congress

Whether to go to Qarth is actually like "whether or not to lead Karasar south" that day. It seems that the future is unpredictable and cannot be easily decided, but there is no choice.

"Your Highness, it is obvious that they came here to hunt for the dragon, and they also care about your dragon beyond their interest. Once some of them intend to rob you, it will be even more dangerous for you to stay here." Jorah said after thinking for a while.

"Oh?"

"In all trading city-states, no matter ordinary merchants or trading princes, they value profits over righteousness and have no sense of honor, but there is only one thing worthy of everyone's trust." Jorah's eyes flashed, "That is the foundation of their lives. , is also the foundation of the existence of the trading city-state in the world, credit!"

"To put it simply, on the sea, on the wild avenue, any businessman may become a robber and snatch what he fancy by force.

However, in trading cities, they will skillfully use methods such as deception, extortion, and seduction to make profits, but they will never rob each other's property. "

Seeing Dani's thoughtful expression, he smiled, and said: "The bigger the businessman, the more vicious and gentle the methods, but the world is vast but the information is smooth.

If the three of Xaro extended an invitation to you, theoretically he also assumed the responsibility of guarding your safety.

It's not how noble they are, but their reputation in the hearts of other businessmen is far more valuable than any immediate interests.

Your Royal Highness, you have been wandering in the major city-states of the Western Continent for a long time, so you should have a deeper understanding of this. "

Dany nodded. The usurper kept offering rewards for the Targaryen brothers and sisters, but every trade prince and magister who entertained them had not cut off their heads for cash.

Benefits are not equal.

But the only three dragons in the world are enough for anyone to take the initiative to lose honor and credit.

"Even the popular guest rights in the Seven Kingdoms are sometimes trampled on?" she said.

Jorah seemed to be stunned by her words, eyes widened, and said in disbelief: "Except for the legendary Rat Chef, who trampled on the rights of guests? The most stupid, craziest, and most ignorant people would not take the initiative to violate the rights of guests. "

Hehe, in two years, when the news of Robb Stark's death comes, you won't be so surprised.

"Who is Rat Chef?" she asked.

"The Rat Chef was a night watchman and worked as a cook at the Nightfort. He had a feud with the king of Casterly Rock at that time. When the Andal king led his son and vassals on a tour of the Wall, the Night Watchman entertained them.

One night, the mouse chef took the opportunity to assassinate the king's son, and then made a big pie with the prince's meat, onions, carrots, mushrooms and other condiments, sprinkled with pepper and salt, served with bacon and dark red Donne wine.

He presented the pie to the king. The king ate his son's pie and praised its deliciousness loudly, and asked the chef to serve another piece.

Even the gods couldn't stand this matter. They turned the chef into a white mouse as fat as an old sow. From then on, they could only eat their own children.

Rat Chef has been wandering the Nightfort, driven by an insatiable hunger, devouring his own offspring. "

Under the dim light, Jorah's blurred face was indescribably gloomy. Dany's two centaur maids huddled together, with panic in their almond eyes, looking around, as if looking for something that would come out of nowhere. White Rat.

"Ahem, it's a great bedtime story, but isn't it too intimidating?" Dani coughed a few times and said.

"It's true. In the northern border, even children know about it." Jorah yelled dissatisfied.

"The first half of the story should be true, but the gods punished later." Dany shook her head and asked him, "Which god do you think punished the rat chef?"

Jorah immediately said: "The gods are the gods. Of course, all the gods can't see Chef Rat wantonly trampling on the rights of the guests."

"Hehe, the northern border, especially the area of ​​the Great Wall, belongs to the territory of the old gods, and the Andals believe in the seven gods. Maybe human beings will recognize the reality that the seven gods and the old gods coexist because of political harmony.

But the doctrine of the Seven Gods only recognizes himself as the only god. If he is true, how can he cooperate with the old gods to punish a human being? "

Jorah sighed and said with a helpless expression, "Your Highness, the purpose of this story is to warn the world: a person has the right to revenge, but the gods will never forgive him for killing the guests under his own roof and trampling on the rights of the guests."

"It doesn't matter whether the gods exist, or which god punishes the rat chef. The important thing is that we must understand the principle of respecting the sacred guest's rights through this story." He concluded in the tone of educating naughty children.

Alas, the one who doesn't understand is you, Big Bear.

It is precisely because the morality of this story is too obvious that the authenticity of the story is greatly reduced.

This story makes all wise men understand one thing: taking advantage of another's trust in the guest's right can take revenge easily and freely, and the gods will never punish him for it.

Rat Chef may end badly, but it will be the sad king, not the gods, who will punish him.

For Rat Chef, he was a commoner and sent to the Great Wall. He almost lost the chance of revenge forever, not to mention that the target of revenge was a king.

What guest rights mean nothing to a character like that.

However, there are some things that you can think about in your own mind. If you really say it, other people will definitely "see her differently": I didn't expect you to be such a person, Your Royal Highness.

As if she had done something.

So, Dany just asked, "You suggest we go to Qarth?"

Jorah nodded, and said seriously: "Qarth is a big city connecting the eastern and western worlds. There are things you need, such as ships and sailors. If we find that the Qarth people have bad intentions, we can leave immediately by boat. .”

"Robert Baratheon is dead, do you really have no idea?" He looked at her intently, as if he wanted to pass through the violet fog in front of him, and go straight to the depths of his heart.

Let the White Walker be the king of the Seven Kingdoms!

Dani complained in her heart, but she didn't show it at all on her face. Instead, she showed a look of longing, and said, "I have a chance?"

Westeros is Jorah's hometown, and he is willing to be Robert's spy in order to go home.

There is no doubt that between Baratheon and Dany, the balance in his heart has greatly tilted towards Dany.

But if it is known that Dany has no intention of returning to the Seven Kingdoms, then the tray at the other end of the scale will no longer be "loyalty to King's Landing and the current king", but "the temptation to go home".

Homesickness and love are at the same level.

What's more, someone had already issued a good card to the poor knight.

"Here, I can't receive any information, and I can't judge the situation of the Seven Kingdoms at this time. The only thing is that even if the usurper is dead, he still has two sons, and the queen is a Lannister!

At least Baratheon and Lannister will hinder your return.

Eddard Stark is almost like a brother to Robert, and he won't support you.

And Irene in the Valley, Tully and Stark in the Trident River are related by marriage, and they are also "Jorah said with a troubled expression.

He didn't know that none of the queen's sons was Baratheon, and he didn't know that Ed had been imprisoned by the queen, and he might have been beheaded by the new king Joffrey at this moment.

In the past few years, the political situation in Westeros is even more unpredictable than a storm on the sea. Qarth is still too far away from King's Landing, and information delays are high and errors are large.

"Hey, Your Royal Highness, let's avoid Westeros first, and wait for the dragon to grow up." Jorah said a mature and prudent suggestion.

Dani nodded. In fact, Jorah has always been very cautious and realistic.

"What suggestions do you have?" She looked at the horseman who had been eating melons for a long time.

"Kalixi, you are the blood of my blood, you can go wherever you want!" Jogo said anxiously, scratching the top of his bald head.

The horse people don’t want to go far away from the grasslands. They think sea water is poisonous and should be kept far away, but their stupid brains can’t think of better suggestions, so they can only feel anxious and helpless.

Seeing that the other two bloodriders also had the same attitude, Dany asked the representative of the old man again, "Avanti, Solomon, what do you think?"

"How about we sneak out of here tonight and go to the mountains to the west?" Avanti made a rather stupid suggestion.

The old man of Kehor immediately shook his head and persuaded: "If we deceive the Qarth people, then we will no longer be their friends and distinguished guests, but enemies. Have you ever thought about how they found this place?"

"Prophecy, the Shadow Binder will prophesy." Ji Qi yelled in horror.

Yili corrected her and said, "It's the stars that guide them. I heard the blue-mouthed wizard say it with my own ears this afternoon."

"They can find us if they go to the west." Doria nodded.

"Quiluo, from tomorrow onwards, you must guard my dragon all the time." Dani made a decision in her heart, and said to her "dragon guard".

"Karixi, as long as I am alive, no one will be able to steal your dragon." Quilo said firmly.

Everyone reached a consensus at the meeting, and early the next morning, Dani told the three guests her decision.

Quesi still couldn't see the expression, and the wizard and the merchant directly expressed their welcome and happiness. Both of them solemnly promised that in Qarth, Dany and her khalasar would be protected by them.

In the morning, Dani sent knights to inform the herdsmen of the other two white cities, asking them to bring Kalasar's horse team to Baiyun City, and those hunting in the western mountains were also notified.

So, four days later, Dany's khalasar set off again.

Target, Qarth to the southwest.

Of course, Dani didn't do nothing during those four days. She arranged for Ago to go to Qarth first, with three horses and enough food and water.

Xaro wrote a letter to Argo, and when Argo arrived in Qarth, he only needed to hand the letter to his steward, and a group of servants would lead the camel team to the red wasteland.

The camel herd will carry a lot of food and water. More importantly, the khalasar no longer has to worry about horsepower. When the camels arrive, the centaur can switch to more comfortable camels.
