Chapter 47 I'm Sorry

A few days ago, Dany went to the Shrine of Memory to read the history of Qarth.

From the thick sheepskin book, she got three important pieces of information: first, the world map centered on Qarth, so she knew the whole picture of the world; second, the speculation related to Baiyun City was confirmed.

Before Valyria was destroyed, Slaver's Bay had the Valyrian Road connecting the major city-states of Valyria.

Valyrian Avenue is a monolithic stone road formed by magic and magma melting. It is wider and stronger than modern highways. It connects almost all city-states with the Norn River Basin in the Western Continent.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.

There is no safer and high-speed passage than Valyrian Avenue. At that time, businessmen often used "Far East - Jade Sea - Qarth - White Cloud City - Slaver's Bay - Valyrian Avenue - all over the world" Such a route is the reason for the desert miracle like Baiyun City.

Dany guessed a little wrong. The dry river bed she saw was not natural, but an artificial river.

The Valyrians drove the slaves to dig the artificial river from the source of the Lazar River, which was nearly a thousand kilometers across the two white cities until the third white city was the end point.

More than 300 years ago, Valyria was destroyed in a cataclysm, and the entire land of Long Summer was shrouded in a strange curse. The Valyrian road from Slaver's Bay to Volantis became the road of demons that everyone feared.

In this way, the east-west "Silk Road" that has been passed down for thousands of years came to an end, and merchants could only avoid the road from Volantis to Qarth by sea boat.

Baicheng has lost its existence value, and the river course that requires a lot of manpower to repair every few years is gradually drying up.

In less than a hundred years, Baicheng, whose strength had weakened to the extreme, was destroyed by the passing Ma Min.

Well, without further ado, the third piece of information Dany got from the Temple of Memory has to do with Valyria.

The Dragon King of Valyria has captured his slaves all the way to the Jogosnai Plain in the Far East, so how could he let Qarth by his side?

On the day when the dragon came to the city, the ancient royal family of Qarth perished, leaving only one princess to become the wife of a Valyrian dragon king. The two of them are the ancestors of the royal family before Dany.

Dany guessed that the royal family must both covet and fear her dragon.

As the mother of dragons, she has the ability to become the ancestor of the next royal family of Qarth, just like the dragon king did back then.

Therefore, Dany begged the royal family above: "Great ruler of the immortal city of Qarth, I beg you to lend me a fleet so that I can return to the hometown I miss day and night, Westeros. The people will thank you for bringing back their Queen."

At the end, she wiped her tears and wept sadly.

Quarth's onions are awesome!

It was a little embarrassing, but in the huge hall, her choked sobs actually echoed. It was too spacious and silent, and no one gave her a response.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" maybe the royal family also felt that it was too embarrassing to be so cold, sobbing and crying came from the high platform.

It's still the babysitter.

Wendro, who received 777 golden coins from Dani.

"Daenerys, your words are really touching, and your emotions have touched me deeply." He wiped away his tears.

Dany opened her eyes wide, expecting him to go on, it would be great to send her dozens of warships.

"But I am obsessed with music, and I am not interested in business. Unlike the Thirteen Giants, each of them has a huge fleet. Although I am rich as a country, I don't have the big ships you need."

Dani's heart is half cold, you bastard, you say you are rich, and you are so stingy.

"Kalixi, your clothes, your etiquette, and the way you speak, all move me." Another royal family who accepted bribes, known as "Elegant Aegon", politely refused in a weeping tone: " I am a royal family, but I am also a poet, and I would like to write a poem about what happened to you."

When he finished speaking, he wept and read poems in Old Valyrian intonations.

The content of the poem roughly tells how the last princess of an ancient kingdom went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and finally got the support of many subjects with great luck, defeated the usurper, successfully married the handsome and forced prince, and grew into a generation of queen.

Although it is impossible to send a fleet to send Danni back to restore her country, she can fulfill her dream in this way!

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooette.

Some people imitated Ai Geng and the others, and refused with tactful words, while some remained silent and silently refused.

At some point, the fat man who had been standing quietly at the lower left corner of the steps suddenly moved a few steps sideways to the middle, not only not disturbing the royal family on the five-meter-high platform, but just in time for Dany to notice her.

Dany caught a glimpse of him gesturing quietly to herself, signaling the end of the day's petition.

what?This is the end?

Even if you don't send a few warships, there should be a gift in return, right?

She managed more than 1 Hui coins back and forth.

In order to raise money, she also sold most of the gifts given by visitors.

The royal family of Qarth is really a group of top-notch people, completely disregarding the etiquette of the guests, they are completely stingy!

Dany cursed the eighteen generations of the royal family's ancestors in her heart, and her face was still mournful. She wiped her tears to express her gratitude to the royal family, and then politely asked to leave.

After leaving the palace, I waited for another hour in the martial arts arena in the side hall. When the sky was getting dark, the three dragons landed beside her, and she put on the lock rings again. temple.

When she came by bullock cart at noon, because the sun was high in the sky, the weather was too hot, and there were few pedestrians on the street. At this time, it was approaching dusk, and the spacious driveway was also blocked by crowds of people.

Jhogo in front had no choice but to crack his whip in the air while shouting loudly on his horseback, "Get out of the way, you milkmen, get out of the way! Make way for the Mother of Dragons."

But his jerky Valyrian language could only attract the curious eyes of countless people, and had no effect on improving the congested environment at this time. The bullock cart could only move forward step by step.

The big businessman Xaro seemed to be used to this, he leaned leisurely on the cool mahjong mat-covered backrest, poured ruby ​​wine into a pair of matching emerald and gold goblets, and steadily handed it to Dany on the opposite side , "My light of love, I see your red and swollen eye sockets filled with deep loss, did they reject you?"

Dany took the wine glass and drank more than half of it, "Your eyes are like a torch, and you can see the truth of the matter, yes, the royal family rejected me mercilessly.

In other words, they never thought of helping me at all, they called me purely because of their curiosity about dragons and their own boredom. "

Xaro didn't show any surprise on his face when he heard this, and while pouring himself a drink, he asked casually, "What did they say?"

"Wendro said he didn't have a boat and couldn't help me, 'Elegant Aegon' cried and recited a poem for me, and Mathos, who took my 500 Hui coins, didn't even bother to say no." Dani sighed In a low tone, he asked, "Can I get Ser Jorah to ask him for the money back?"

"Hey, these Qarth people really have no credibility. People without credibility can't survive in the business world, but Qarth is the largest trading capital, so the power of the royal family is getting weaker and weaker, and their reputation is getting worse. Xaro sneered a few words, then looked at Dani solemnly, and warned her: "Don't bring up the matter of retrieving the gift—if you don't want the 'regretful guest' to sneak into my palace one night , to murder you while you were asleep."

"Regretful" Dani nodded, and stopped asking Mathos for money.

In addition to crying at every turn, the Qarth people regard tears as a sign of a civilized person, and they also have another characteristic: politeness.

When the Qarth Killer killed someone, he also politely said "I'm sorry" to the victim.Therefore, that long-established group of killers became famous around the world under the name of "Regretful Customers".

Well, self-righteously polite.What happened this afternoon in the Palace of Thousand Seats did not make Dany feel that the people of Qarth were polite.

"Oh, my love, don't be too sad, you are not alone in what happened today." Xaro's left and right arms were wide open, resting on the back of the soft couch, the wine glass hooked between the two fingers of his right hand was shaking slightly "There is a saying in Qarth that getting money from the royal family is harder than milking Pharos' stone cow.

Do you know Pharos?Isn't it strange that the people there worship stone cows on an island in the Yuhai Sea?

If you are willing to marry me, my luxury yacht can take you there to visit the local scenic spots.In fact, my caravans are all over Yuhai, you can go wherever you want.

We travel to Yidi, and we can also find the dream city in the poet's mouth, we can go to the Jogosnai Plain, and drink the wine of wisdom with the heads of the dead."

"I want to sail to Westeros and drink the wine of revenge with the head of the usurper. Why don't you and I go to King's Landing, the scenery of the Sunset Continent is more beautiful and mysterious than the Jade Sea." Dany winked at him and smiled. Said: "In addition to the shocking Great Wall beyond the Great Wall, I heard that there are strange ghosts in the extreme north!

Do you know White Walkers?The terrifying monster that can bring eternal night to the world is much more interesting than that stone bull! "

"Let the White Walkers come, Yongye is worse than being rejected by you again." The fat man wiped his face, and squeezed out a few more tears from his eyes.

Sure enough, every Qartheite can shed tears under any circumstances.

"I've told you many times that I'm a businessman, and all businessmen are pacifists, and that war is a killer of stable trade. We may expect war from others, but never engage in it ourselves.

Moreover, I can't figure out what's so good about that iron chair in King's Landing. I heard that it was smelted by your ancestors with thousands of swords. It's cold, hard and sharp. It's an iron monster.

Are you afraid of those jagged spikes scratching your toned buttocks? "The businessman also rejected Dany again.

"boom!"

On the street outside the car, countless citizens suddenly yelled together, and the huge sound seemed to overturn the bullock cart under Dani.

"Crunch—" The bullock cart also stopped suddenly at this time.

"What happened?" Dany asked loudly through the veil.
