Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 48 Magic Recovery

"Kalixi, there is a fire mage in front of him, performing on the street, and the milkmen are so crowded that the street is completely blocked." Ago lowered his head, leaned his head to the window of the ox cart, and shouted loudly.

No need to shout loudly. The noise on the streets is like boiling porridge. There are people and voices everywhere, which is even more exaggerated than the train station during the Spring Festival travel rush in modern society.

"It's just a fire mage. You can see those guys in the streets and taverns on the pier every day. It's nothing unusual." Xaro said disapprovingly.

He probably got used to traffic jams in Qarth, and the environment is still the same. The old god took out a bottle of red wine from the small compartment under the chair, shook Dani, and said, "Don't you miss your hometown? Let's have another glass of Ting Island's top-quality gold wine."

"No, fire mages are not so common in the Western Continent. I'll go out and have a look." Dani shook her head.

In fact, you can often meet fire mages in the streets and alleys of Braavos and Pentos. Even in King's Landing under the teaching of the Seven Gods, there is also a fire mage guild.

The fire mage that Daenerys met before was not so much a mage as an acrobat, or a magician.

But Dany didn't want to talk to Xaro any more, and felt tired.

"Find me a horse," she called to the bloodriders, poking her head out of the curtain.

"Kalixi, your cheongsam is not suitable for riding a horse." Jorah said a few steps forward.

One of the three bloodriders was on the left side of the bullock cart, one was on the right side, and one was leading the way in front. Ser Jorah was guarding the rear, guarding the dragon cage on the bullock cart behind with Quilo.

"Oh, trouble," Dany looked around, and found that she was not tall enough to see past the dense crowd.

Suddenly, she had an idea, and said with a smile, "I'm standing on the back of the bull, and you, Ago, will support me by the side."

This ox cart is one of the gifts from Xaro to Dani. The body is made of ebony and gold. The bull that pulls the cart is also one of the best in thousands of miles. One is as white as ivory and the other is as black as black jade. , but also very docile and obedient.

The horns are studded with jewels.

As she spoke, she jumped off the bullock cart and squeezed to the side of the white bull that was pulling the cart. She stood on the broad back of the bull like a nimble ape, without Ago's support at all.

It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not, just glanced at it, and Dany was startled. The fire mage is a small man in a tight red robe, with a dark and thin face, and a monkey-like figure. At this time, he is also like the most magical demon Like a monkey, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a ladder of burning flames out of thin air at a height of two meters from the ground.

He jumped and landed on the wobbling red fire ladder. He didn't fall, and Dany saw no place to hide the support.

In fact, this was just the beginning. He stood on the empty flame ladder, waving his hands again and again, and orange-red fire ladders circled in order, extending all the way to the high latticed ceiling, and then he was on the fire ladder like a monkey. Climbing, every time you step over a fire ladder, that step dissipates behind your feet, leaving only a wisp of silver smoke.

Climbing higher and higher, at the height of four floors, I saw him waving his hands at the top of the crowd cheering wildly below, and suddenly fell backwards. The whole person was connected to the last fire ladder and disappeared without a trace no trace.

Dany stared wide-eyed, looking at the empty yellow sky, screaming in her heart: This is impossible.

If all the fire mages juggling on the street are hanging like this, how can I get along?

"Ago, Ser Jorah, what do you think?" She couldn't help asking the two people guarding the white bull.

They rode tall horses and witnessed the previous miracle together with Dani.

"Very good trick, many court magicians are inferior to him." Jorah exclaimed loudly.

"Did you understand? Where did the person go? Why can he stand on the flames out of thin air? Could there be magic?" Dany asked repeatedly.

"Hahaha, Your Royal Highness, you are overthinking. It's just a small trick of charlatans. They rely on it for their livelihood. If they don't fool us, they won't be qualified." Jorah laughed loudly.

"It's not a trick," a woman said in Common.

It was only when Dany heard the voice that she noticed that Kuishi was also standing next to the white bull at some point, still wearing a gray linen mage robe with a hood and a red lacquered wooden mask.

I don't know how long she's been there, they just ignored her all the time.

He is obviously a wizard, but his stealth skills are full.

Dani complained secretly in her heart, while turning over and riding on the back of the bull, she greeted with a smile: "Master Mage, long time no see, how are you recently?"

After a greeting, she hurriedly asked for advice: "Do you know the magic trick just now? Or is it really magic? But how is this possible."

"If it was half a year ago, I would agree with you without having to see it with my own eyes, but it's different now, Daenerys, you have brought the power of magic to this world again." Kui Xi's eyes reflected behind the mask Moisturizing luster.

Dany blinked hard, but couldn't make out the color of her eyes.

"Isn't that an exaggeration? If I had that ability, I wouldn't know anything about magic." She laughed.

Kuixi pointed to the fire mage who had sprung out from nowhere in the crowd, and said seriously: "I know him, he was in the same place half a year ago, he couldn't even use dragon crystal to make fire, he could only rely on gunpowder and wildfire deceive ignorant fools.

Daenerys, look carefully, that fat man in Qarth in colorful robes, he is the priest of the Temple of Memory, the girl in the felt hat behind him, you can take a look."

Dani followed her guidance and looked intently. Just seven or eight meters away, a girl wearing a felt hat and a magenta skirt, dressed as a lady from a rich family, leaned on the waist of the fat priest and turned to the other party as if nothing had happened. Squeeze in one direction.

"That girl is a pickpocket! I saw her use a blade to cut through the cloth bag at the waist of the milkman priest." Ago exclaimed.

"Now do you understand?" Kuixi looked at Dani and said calmly, "The fire mage used magic performances to attract the attention of the audience, and then the pickpockets under him took the opportunity to work."

"But what does that mean?" Dany murmured.

"He is not an orthodox fire mage."

"You saw the flame stairs with your own eyes just now, but half a year ago, he could only perform barefoot stepping on coals, or let burning roses bloom in the air - I don't need to explain, you should be able to guess the key. With this Compared with the performance at that time, it was like cloud and mud."

In the end, she said with emotion to Dani: "The reason is very simple. The tide of magic power is coming, his own magic power is growing, and the power of every mystic in this world is increasing rapidly."

"You don't want to teach me magic, what's the use of telling me about it." Dany said noncommittally.

Even though dragons bring magic to this world, she can't even read a single basic spell.

After hearing Kuixi's remarks today, she even gave up the idea of ​​going to Yaxia to study.

I really want to go to the capital of wizards. Did she learn witchcraft from wizards, or did wizards develop witchcraft from her "body"?

"I want to warn you, Daenerys Targaryen." Kuishi stepped forward suddenly, holding Dany's right hand on the back of the bull. "You must leave this city as soon as possible, or you won't be able to leave."

"Son of Shadow, don't touch the Mother of Dragons!" Jogo's eyes sharpened, and he swiftly tapped the handle of the whip on Kuixi's fingers, and she immediately withdrew her hands in pain.

Dani frowned, and raised her right hand to look carefully in front of her eyes. Her skin was fair and tender, without even a trace of redness.

Is it an illusion?

The moment Kuixi touched her right wrist just now, a sharp tingling pain came out from the touch.

It came suddenly and went so quickly, she wasn't even sure if it was a hallucination.

"What's the danger?" she asked.

Kuixi looked calm, and he was not angry when he was hit by Jogo, "The royal family has seen your dragon, you have rejected Xaro many times, and you will continue to refuse in the future, and the wizard has always coveted your dragon, you yourself You should also understand this. None of the major forces in Qarth is your friend, isn't it dangerous enough?"

Dani glanced at the bullock cart behind, and said noncommittally: "Where do you think I should go? Well, I won't go to Yasha."

Kuixi said lightly: "To go to the north, you must go south. To reach the west, you must go east. If you want to advance, you must retreat. If you want to be bright, you must go through the shadows. This is your destiny."

"Hey, why do you insist on me going to Asshai? Even a crappy witch and witch can easily ruin my life, but there are countless wizards who study mysterious power." Dany said helplessly.

"There is the truth there, the truth of the world that you must know." Kuixi said.

Then without waiting for Dany to ask again, she bowed and disappeared into the crowd.

Looking at Kuixi's leaving back, Ago snorted and said, "No one who is sober will believe in the Son of Shadow."

"Hahaha, your barbarians have wisdom they don't know." Xaro was in the car, listening to the conversation of the few people just now, and he opened the curtain to invite Dany to take the car back, "Even if You have always rejected me, and I am still your most loyal friend and the most enthusiastic suitor. You can regard my palace as your own home, and you can stay as long as you like."

"Thank you, you are my most trusted friend, Gentleman Xaro." Dani said with a smile.

Believe me you bastard, it's time to leave.

As the sun went down, they all returned to Xaro's mansion.After Dany had dealt with Xaro, she immediately called Jorah to the study and asked him what he thought of Quizzi's remarks.

"Although I don't trust her, Quexi has a very correct sentence. The longer you stay here, the more dangerous it is. Even from the perspective of guest rights, a short-term visit is considered a guest. If we stay here for too long, the guest It becomes a sojourner, and can no longer be counted as a guest." Jorah talked about the tradition from the north again.

"Where do you think we should go next?" she asked.

"Go to the east. The Far East is not limited to Yashai. There are many trading city-states in Yuhai." Jorah said.

Dany said lightly: "Going to the east almost means giving up the chance to return to Westeros, and giving up Illyrio and other allies who support the Targaryen family."

"Illyrio is not trustworthy. He is fat, which means that he is gluttonous. As the saying goes, 'A glutton must be greedy'. Cunning', a greedy and cunning person, how can you trust him?" Jorah said seriously.
