Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 39 Qarth

"I've heard people say that only those who believe in the old gods in the northern part of Westeros can become skinchangers. Could it be that Asshai also has weirwood? He also believes in the old gods?" Dany asked.

"Daenerys, do you know what the old gods are and what are the skinchangers?" Quesi asked back.

Dany looked at Jorah, "The old god is a big tree with a human face?"

"That's the Heart Tree. Old God is the general name of many ancient gods." Jorah said slowly.

"The old gods are a kind of animistic belief. As a believer, a skin-changer awakens the spirit of nature and can merge with spiritual animals." Quizzi told Dany, "This is a word that seeks wisdom. The old skinchanger told me that he came from beyond the Great Wall of the Sunset Continent."

"The wildlings beyond the Great Wall?" Jorah exclaimed, "How did they go to Asshai, tens of thousands of miles away?"

"The savages you speak of are also intelligent people. They have the desire to seek wisdom and civilization. But after leaving the Great Wall, he feels deep despair, because you hate the skinchangers so much.

So he came to the sanctuary of the mysterious, Asshai of the Shadowlands. said Quix slowly, keeping the lacquered mask on Dany.

"Daenerys, Westeros of the Andals cannot tolerate you and your dragon." These words sounded lightly in Dany's ears, but the others did not respond at all.

Sound transmission into secret?

Dany was shocked.

For the next few days, Danni has been feeling anxious, afraid to be alone with Kui Xi again.

She asked Jorah and the wizard that wizards and magicians cannot make "materialized" attacks like rolling fireballs or throwing ice picks, and can only harm others indirectly through spells, shadows, and blood.

She was afraid that Kui Xi would secretly perform the "Shadow Binding Technique" on herself, so she began to let the maids take turns to accompany her when she went to bed at night.

But Dany seemed to be thinking too much. After that night, Kuixi never took the initiative to talk to her, nor did she intend to find a chance to be alone with her.

Until they left the Red Wasteland and entered the land of Qarth, Dany finally couldn't bear it, and asked the Shadowbinder, "Your Majesty, wizard, do you understand the witchcraft spells of ancient Valyria?"

"You want to learn?" Although Kuixi didn't take the initiative to talk to her, he never refused her.

"Oh, the world is hard and dangerous, I don't want to be hurt by the evil wizard again." Dany sighed sadly.

"I don't know Valyrian spells, because they don't work for me, but you can go to Asshai if you want, and there should be someone there who can teach you."

Kuixi said quietly: "There is news in the Shadowlands that the descendants of the ancient Valyrian blood witches are still active in a certain place."

"It's too far away, I'm going to Westeros to be queen." Dany shook her head.

At noon the next day, Dany saw Qarth, who had been described by the great merchant Xaro as the city of heaven.

"when--"

The sandstone city wall of the same color as the red wasteland suddenly heard the crisp and clear sound of gongs beating, "Targaryen born of the storm, Daenerys, mother of dragons, is coming!"

Someone was shouting into the city, and Dany could hear it even half a mile from the gate.

Before she could ask Xaro what was going on, "Woooooooo—"

There was another long and loud horn sound.

Looking up, there is a circle of black strong men with shiny skin standing on the 10-meter-high city wall. The upper body exposed from the battlements is naked, and the toned body is coiled like a strange horn like a bronze snake.

“Da da da da”

A group of camel cavalry ran out of the city in an orderly manner. The camels were covered with colorful blankets, and there were extremely gorgeous saddles between the humps, and the inlaid rubies and garnets were shining in the sun.

The riders on the camels were also well-armed, all in armor of red copper scales, and on their heads a long-snouted helmet with brass teeth and long black feathers—an imitation of any animal's head, Dany could not see.

It seems that preparations have been specially made to welcome Dany. There are no idlers on the city gate facing the red wasteland.Two rows of camel riders started from the city gate in order and extended a full 200 meters outside the city.

"Hoo hoo hoo!" The knight raised the shiny bronze spear in his hand and shouted in unison.

The tip of the spear is tied with colorful satin, and as the arm is raised high and falls, the colored ribbon floats like a cloud.

The people of Qarth did not shout polite words such as "Welcome the Mother of Dragons as a guest to Qarth", they just welcomed the guests with the most enthusiastic actions.

Dany rode alongside Xaro on her camel, first, followed by Jorah, the bloodrider and the wizard, and Quizz.

After getting close to the city wall, Dany discovered that the red rock wall was carved with various animals: snakes crawling and crawling, kites flying with wings, fish gliding and swimming, wolves screaming on the hills, and even And zebras and elephants.

But when Dany approached the city gate, the copper-inlaid solid wood gate that was closed just now creaked and opened to both sides.

There are three walls in Qarth, and through the gate opening of the outer wall, a group of children ran over immediately, carrying flower baskets, smiling and following Dani's camel, throwing colorful petals on her body, and Dani kept replying with the last words. Sweet smile.

In fact, she had been complaining about the weird customs of the Qarth people. Those children wore golden sandals on their feet and nothing on their bodies, but they were not naked. They were all painted with brightly colored drawings.

The middle wall is 12 meters high and is made of gray granite. There are also many pictures carved on it, but they are not beasts, but lifelike war scenes. Butchered, burning pyre

The iron-inlaid solid wood gate was opened wide, and the noise and cheers were like a flood that opened the gate, rushing towards Dani who entered the city gate suddenly, it was countless people cheering and shouting.

There is a long street between the middle wall and the inner wall. The streets are crowded with rich-toned buildings, including dreamy rose-colored stone buildings, towers painted in violet, and bronze arches inlaid with green emeralds.

The balconies of these buildings were filled with onlookers of Qarthe, women in tokars that exposed one breast, and men in silk skirts with beadwork.

Those fair-skinned Qarth people either threw red rose petals down, or waved colorful silk scarves in their hands, or shouted at Dany

"Dang Dang Dang!" The bell on the city tower rang, and Dany suddenly showed a strange smile.

At this time, there should be a song "Prelude to the Dead". She was the Alsace who was cheered by the people and rushed to the palace to kill her father.

The inner wall is 15 meters high and is made of black marble. On the wall are engraved scenes of male and female love, um, commonly known as erotic pictures.

From this we can know part of the customs of the Qarth people.

As Dani approached, the gate of the inner city was lined with dense golden eyes, like the mouth of a giant beast slowly opened.

Only pedestrians on the street stopped and looked at Dani and her party with curious eyes. There was no special welcome ceremony in the inner city.

Dany saw a tower that was a miracle in this world. The towering spiers were as dense as a jungle. Every square she walked through had a beautiful fountain in the shape of an animal.

Under the noon sun, a small rainbow hangs, which is extremely beautiful.

The great businessman Haiya proudly said to Dany: "Qarth is the greatest city of all time. It is the center of the world, the gateway connecting the north and the south, and the bridge connecting the east and the west. It is ancient and long beyond people's memory. It makes the world All cities are ugly and eclipsed."

I don't believe this bullshit. When ancient Valyria still existed, you dared to say such things to the Dragon King.

"Yes, I have been to almost all of the nine free trade cities except Volantis. None of them deserve to be compared with the pearl on this strait." Dany complimented cheerfully.

She couldn't help noticing the statues that lined the arcades, the city's ancient heroes standing majestic on white marble stylobates.

It seems to be waiting for the arrival of the Dothraki one day, looting them to Mawang City, and placing them on the Avenue of the Gods together with thousands of stone statues.

Through the arcades, the khalasar stopped in front of a market.This is where several streets and alleys meet, and Dany should decide which way to go next and which house to visit.

The market is housed in a massive building with openings on many sides and a coffered ceiling that is home to thousands of colorful birds.

The platform above the store is covered with lush trees and flowers, while inside the store, there are a wide variety of products, and exquisite creations from all over the world gather here.

"Oh, Daenerys, my peerless beauty, no matter what you fancy, just gently open your lips, and I will immediately send them to you." The big businessman said exaggeratedly.

"The whole of Qarth is hers, and she doesn't need these little things." The blue-lipped Baiya Puli cried out from the other side: "Listen to me, Khaleesi. Come with me to the Immortal Hall, where you will drink of truth and wisdom."

"Hahaha, what can your Temple of Dust provide for her?" Xaro proudly said to the big wizard, "The Thirteen Giants will give her a crown made of black jade and fire halostone."

Danni immediately showed joy, and politely rejected the wizard, saying: "Master Haiya, you know my life experience, and you can understand my heart's desire. Although Liang Yuan is good, it is not the land of long-term love. I will not hide it, Day and night I yearn to return to the Red Keep in King's Landing, that is my palace."

You'd better not have any wrong thoughts, otherwise, one day, my mother will lead a hundred thousand Howling Dothraki warriors to ransack this city.

She was ruthless in her heart, but on the surface she had to convince the people of Qarth that she had no threat or ambition to the city.

Hai Ya's blue lips were upturned, and she seemed to be smiling gracefully, but she actually mocked Dani's naivety in her heart, believing the words of the shameless businessman.

Just wait, one day you will take the initiative to come to me.

"Kalixi, you have wisdom beyond your age. Please accept my gift, and we will talk about it another day." He handed over a jar of ointment and nodded to Dany, "On the way to Qarth, you Expressing your thirst for mystical powers, this jar of holy oil will help you see the spirit of the air."

When Dany took the gift, he rode his camel and left in the other direction.

"Your Majesty, you made the wisest choice," the businessman said in a low voice, watching the wizard's leaving figure, "There is a saying in Qarth—the house of the wizard, bones and lies."

They are all the same breed, why bother crows laugh at pigs?
