Chapter 98

In the early morning of the next day, Dany practiced 300 standard movements of swinging a sword with Whitebeard as usual.

The old man told her that although her movements were barely standard, she hadn't yet formed a physical memory, so as long as she still thought of herself as a warrior, she would have to train for a day.

After washing and having a hearty breakfast, Dany took off her loose practice clothes and put on a painted leather vest, silk shorts, horsehair leggings, and riding leather sandals.

A bronze medallion belt was tied around Xiaoman's waist, and the maid braided a whip for her, and at the end hung two small jingling silver bells, one representing her defeat of the demigod immortal in the Temple of the Immortal, and the other Contributed by Euron.

The battle against Euron was far more dangerous and tragic than the one at the Temple of the Immortal. Dany had a clear conscience by adding a bell to herself.

Today she will ride the little silver horse to the Punishment Square, the transaction will be completed in the morning, and she may leave Astapor at noon.

Two bloodriders, Aggo and Rakharo, stood in front, each holding a large flag in their hands, and the black dragon flag on a green background fluttered in the wind.

Dany did not use the three-headed dragon flag of the Targaryen family at this time. The black dragon belonged to her "natal" mount, and the green symbolized the endless sea of ​​grass.

After she rode a little silver horse, Belwas still chose to walk, trotting to guard Dany's left side, Missandei also rode a filly on Dany's right side, and Whitebeard rode a tall dragon horse on Miyazaki's side. Sandy's right, Jorah Mormont adjourned.

Surrounding them are more than 20 roaring warriors with machetes stuck in their waists and longbows hanging from the saddle.

Behind the warriors is a long row of carriages, 170 seven carriages, in addition to gold, silver, jewelry and jadeite, there are six bundles of tiger skins, three hundred pieces of Yidi worsted silk, thousands of jars of saffron, myrrh, pepper, Curry and cardamom, eighty barrels of Yidu fine red, black and green ink.

There was also a barrel of pitted olives stuffed with worms, twelve barrels of pickled cavefish, a collection of fine bronzes, seventeen ivory eyes, and a carriage of books from the lands of the Jade Sea.

In addition to the above precious foreign items, there are also dozens of carts of black rice and wine, which are mainly used to hold the bottom of the warehouse. They are not too expensive, and they are the most common goods in the great voyage trade.

The mighty convoy that spread for a mile caused quite a commotion in the red brick market. Dany did not send anyone to guard the convoy. They had already been counted by the documents in the dock area. The ownership basically belonged to the benefactors. Safety.

The eight good lords and their children and wives wore toka robes, standing on the last step of the trapezoidal pyramid, overlooking Dani who was riding a horse from the other side of the square.

The Punishment Square was full of the Unsullied army, row after row, motionless, neatly inserted into the ground like wooden sticks.

A total of 8600 fully trained Unsullied wear lightning rod helmets.Another 5000 were bareheaded, armed only with spears and short swords, had not completed full training, and had no helmets.

The youngest of these people is just a child, five or six years old, with a childish face.

Even if they hadn't completed the training, they stood up straight, kept their gazes straight, and remained motionless just like the real Unsullied.

Dany took the lead, passed through the Unsullied line, came to the pyramid, got off her horse, took two boxes from the saddle, and placed them one by one directly under the stairs where the Good Lord was.

Then Euron dismounted from his horse, and went to open two boxes. In the first box was a roll of drawings, the charts drawn by Euron himself.

The second was covered with a thick Myrish rug, and on top of it lay a rusty bronze dragon egg.

Euron held the dragon egg and looked around, and found that the weight and texture were absolutely correct, so he put down the dragon egg, stood up and nodded to the good lord, and said, "That's right, it is the dragon egg that was stolen from me."

"It's my prize!" Dany corrected.

"This dragon egg of the Dragon King of Valyria now belongs to Astapor!" Grazdan said with a smile.

"Then the transaction must be completed first." Dani said lightly.

By this time there were clerks trotting up the stairs, handing over the manifest to the Good Lord.

Seeing that there is a lot of goods, Grazdan said seriously: "Finish the last thing and trade immediately."

"What's the matter?" Dany's heart was pounding, but her expression was calm.

"You swear, the bronze dragon eggs are really alive and can hatch dragons." The slave master said loudly.

Dany felt relieved, and said loudly: "In honor of the descendants of Valyria and House Targaryen, and as Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, I swear that the bronze dragon egg I got from Euron is alive and in my hands It will definitely hatch a dragon."

Then, she raised her brows and warned the slave owner: "I am the mother of dragons, and I have activated the legendary blood of ancient Valyria, so as long as I pay a certain price, there is a very high chance of hatching a small bronze dragon.

But if you want to hatch dragons, you should not only find shadow priests, but also descendants of true dragons or Valyrian nobles to hatch giant dragons. "

"We are of Valyrian blood, too," Krazny muttered.

This is also true, from Qarth to Slaver's Bay, to Volantis, to all the trading city-states except Braavos, the upper nobles all have Valyrian blood, because the people who ruled these free city-states back then People are pure blooded Valyrian nobles.

The dragon king who owns the dragon lives in the capital of Valyria, and the low-level nobles or branches of the great nobles who do not have dragons are divided into various places.

After the cataclysm, the minor nobles and their descendants survived.

Among them, the ruler of Volantis has the purest blood, even surpassing the Targaryen family.

Because Targaryen had many marriages with other families in the following 400 years, Volantis has more nobles and a large population base, which can form a closed and conservative genetic system.

"I've made an oath, and I've said what should be warned, can the deal be completed now?" Dany asked.

"Will Sir Euron be free after the deal is completed?" Grazdan seemed to ask a question that was quite irrelevant to the current topic.

But Dany knew that the dragon's egg was very precious, and it was the sea chart that was ten or a hundred times more valuable than the dragon's egg.

How much wealth should Valyria rule the world for 5000 years?

unimaginable.

Some speculate that there was more gold and silver there than all the wealth of the world combined today.

Valyria ruled the world for 5000 years, what did they rely on?

Dragons and magic.

Real dragons, real magic.

In the 400 years after the cataclysm, how many explorers have tried to cross the sea of ​​smoke, hoping to find treasures and secrets in the city-state of Valyria?

Countless.

In "One Piece", because Roger said "Do you want my treasure", the era of great pirates started.

But Roger's treasure was nothing compared to Valyria's.

Sadly, only one man has emerged from the ruins of Valyria in all these years, Euron Greyjoy.

Although the treasure he brought back was a bit small, he didn't return empty-handed after all. The key is that the Serenity was a narrow and long ship, not a cargo ship or a large ship. The space for loading cargo was relatively small, and Euron also returned with a full load.

If Grole's Sedulyon had returned safely from the ruins of Valyria, it would bring back treasures that could buy all of Astapor, and even Slaver's Bay.

Sea charts are priceless, but the good lord expects Euron, an old driver, to help guide the way. To be honest, if Euron is honest and can be a little bit loyal to Dany, she also wants to keep him.

But if the old driver is dishonest and deliberately leads you into the pit, the lethality will be greater than that of the novice groping on the road.

In Dany's mind, Euron is not trustworthy at all, so unfortunately, she can only give up the good idea of ​​letting Euron lead the way.

"I promised to set Euron and his crew free as soon as we returned to land," Dany nodded, looking at the grinning Crow's Eye, "when we leave the gates of Astapor, you can go anywhere Yes, but I still recommend that you come with me.

This is Slave's Bay, and you have dozens of wanted warrants from city-states on your back, so don't be caught as a slave. "

"I know, but I want true freedom more," Euron said casually.

"That's up to you."

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, Grazdan smiled with satisfaction. Under his signal, "old friend" Krazny quickly walked down the stairs, came to Dani, held up a whip, and said loudly: " The good lord said, deal!"

"Deal!" Grazdan with the pearl tassel on the high staircase echoed loudly.

"make a deal!"

"make a deal!"

Eight benevolent lords, eight "deal" sounds, all the Unsullied and the Ghis people who watched nearby saw and heard it.

"Deal!" Dani nodded, and waved her hand behind her. The horsemen who were standing behind the treasure and sea goods boxes retreated one by one.

Then, she took the whip called "Finger of the Harpy" from Krazny.

The 30cm long whip handle is finely carved from black keel, both ends are inlaid with gold, and one end is a golden ball-shaped female head with sharp ivory teeth in the mouth; the other end is connected to eight slender leather straps with a gold-plated eagle claw at the end.

It feels very heavy, but it represents a heavier meaning - the control of the 13600 Unsullied.

Like a real estate license.

While Krazny was eagerly looking at the chart, Dany climbed onto the little silver horse, stood on the stirrups, raised the "Finger of the Harpy" above her head, and circled the square silently.

Finally, she yelled in deliberately jerky Valyrian, "You are mine now, children of the Mother Dragon, all of you, five in a row, follow me to the new world, A new future begins."

Dany took the lead, followed by the Unsullied neatly lined up, five in a row, and the long queue spread for three to four kilometers.

After briefly checking the chart, Krazny said to Euron beside him with a sneer: "That bitch must have practiced a few words all night, and she spoke quite well, and the eunuchs understood it."

Euron opened his mouth, wanting to say, "She is an orthodox Valyrian descendant and has lived in the Free City of the Western Continent for more than ten years. How do you think she can't speak Valyrian?"

But not far away, White Beard was carrying a big box, staring at him covetously, Crow's Eye touched his nose, and said in a low voice, "Are you interested in collaborating once?"

"This is what I want!" A gleam flashed in Krazny's eyes.

"Then we'll see you later." The crow's eye's blue right eye held a friendly and gentle smile, which was so convincing.

"Euron, your crew is waiting outside the city gate, hurry up." The old man said coldly.

Euron nodded, got on his horse, and galloped away.

Whitebeard turned his head and said to the slave trader, "Queen Daenerys asked me to bring a gift to the Good Lord."
