Chapter 49
"As for Westeros..." Jorah said helplessly, looking dimly: "I don't know if you should give up that dangerous iron chair, but I deeply understand that the longer you stay in one place, the more The easier it is for the enemy to find out. The name Targaryen scares the betrayer, especially after learning that you have a dragon."
"Thank you for being so thoughtful about me, Ser." Dany said sincerely Thank you, then look him in the eyes, and ask back: "Westeros is just a dream to me, but what does it mean to you? Can I still have a completely believable Queensguard when I am no longer Queen of the Seven Kingdoms?"
Dany never wanted to have to compete for Iron Throne, and all her Westeros ambitions were meant to confuse people.
To confuse Xaro, to confuse Qartheen, to confuse Quaithe, even Jorah Mormont is an important confounding object.
Westeros is nothing to Dany, but to Big Bear it's a hometown that can't be let go.
Jorah Mormont oneself also cannot deny that his loyalty to Dany is partly due to her high hopes of restoring the Targaryen Dynasty.
Dany became Queen, and as Queensguard, he can wash away all the stains on his body, and return home with great glory.
"Daenerys, you can trust the loyalty of an admirer." He called her by her first name.
"That's the problem." Dany sighed, "If I still can't respond to your admiration, and I can't let you go home with honor, what's the point of your loyalty to me? ?"
"Your Highness, why are you so cruel?" Jorah smiled wryly.
Raising you as a fallback guy is real cruelty, Dany thought.
"You are a reliable brother and a trustworthy friend. I don't want to lie to you, so please don't lie to me," she said.
Jorah's face turned red at first, and she was very emotional. When she heard the last sentence, her face suddenly turned pale, and she blurted out: "I didn't lie to you, and I won't lie to you."
You are deceiving me right now.
Today is such a good opportunity to confess, as long as I take advantage of the situation to reveal the identity of the oneself King's Landing undercover, I will also forgive you, and this will end your tormenting life in the infernal life, but why can't you grasp it?
Dany can entrust the safety of oneself to the Queensguard, but complete trust will not exist... at least not yet.
"Ser, take Aggo to Guild of Smiths tomorrow to order a batch of...leather armor." Dany originally wanted to say "iron armor", but when he thought of the horse people's own situation, he immediately changed his words to leather armor.
First, the traditional view has not changed. Horse people Warrior rejects iron armor and believes that fighting in the iron skin is a cowardly act.
Secondly, the Warrior of the light cavalry does not have the combat literacy and awareness of the heavy armored cavalry. In short, the horse people have not yet added the "heavy cavalry" skill.
Thirdly, Dany remembered the bronze armor of the camel cavalry, but the city guards didn't use iron armor, which made her doubt Qartheen's iron armor technology.
She said the above three reasons to Big Bear, "With your Knight literacy, choose a light leather armor that can defend against arrows. Well, you can add a mirror armor to your chest and back."
"This..." Jorah hesitated for a while, then said: "Her Highness the Princess, you haven't participated in combat, I'm afraid you don't understand that no leather armor can meet your requirements. ."
Dany was called the War Little White by him, and he immediately became unhappy. It's true that we haven't been on the battlefield, but the anti-Japanese drama, a certain point of historical novels have not been read too much, and the iron pot can To block bullets, boiled leather and cotton armor can resist the common sense of bows and arrows, who doesn't know?
"My requirements are very low," Dany said with a stern face. "I only want to block the bow and arrows."
"Large-scale archer?" Big Bear shook his head , The arrows made of the more **** iron on the face can pierce through the iron armor, even more how leather armor? "
"That should be very few, right? "
Li Guang can also shoot through boulders, but how many heroes are there?
"Ai, let's just say, in addition to Double Curved Dragon Bone Bow, Summer Isles's Goldwood Bow is the most famous, an elite Red Archer uses the Goldenheart wooden bow, which can penetrate thin leather armor (ps) 400 meters away. But I understand your request. I hope horse people will charge in the rain of bows and arrows. That distance really can't stop bows and arrows. ”
(ps: This is the original setting, Summer Isles Swan Ship is often equipped with a group of Red Archer to defend against pirates, Goldenheart wood is the best material for making bows and arrows, Cinnamon Wind Captain Quhuru (get a picture of Big Black The daughter of the dragon visitor) is a Red Archer who can hit enemies 360 meters away)
Dany asked with a blank face: "Are you sure 400 meters is right? Not one person, but a group of people can do it? "
Jorah nods and says, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the docks and take a look. There are many merchant ships in Summer Istles, and each ship has at least one elite archer."
By the way, the Quhuru of Cinnamon Wind is from Summer Isles, but unfortunately, he should have been away from Hong Kong for many days.
The sea is full of pirates, and even if you can win the boarding, there will not be too few destroyed goods, so a strong archer is necessary. "
"Ai, so that's how it is..." Dany sighed in frustration and then said, waving his hand and saying, "Let's get a leather armor, with an iron plate on the chest and a layer of it." Protection is better than nothing. ”
Second day Jorah and Aggo went to the Guild of Smiths early in the morning.
It was an alliance of a weapons dealer and a large number of Smiths, blade, spear, sword, halberd Yes, they also have kitchen knives, hoes and sickles, and they still have leather armor, saddles, and horseshoes.
Khalasar's warriors are in his early 100s, and he is only a small business for Guild of Smiths. Dany's order has been completed.
There is an interlude during this period, Jorah and Aggo have a fight over the helmet.
Westeros Knight understands Dany's intention to protect his Warrior, so he chooses an extra I have a "full body" iron helmet.
Well, it is a helmet with face shields, throat armor, and skirt and neck armor.
Wear that kind of helmet, with thick and long braids on the back of the head It will be a huge burden, horse men don't like it.
The two quarreled at Smith's shop, and finally got to Dany's place. She thought about it and asked Smith to open a hole in the back of the helmet, You can put the braids out.
"It's ugly, and the more holes there are, the more hidden it is. "Jorah mumbles.
"Hey, that leather armor has weak spots everywhere, not bad for this one. Dany sighed.
In addition to leather armor, Dany also ordered a large number of hand crossbows, single handed crossbow wound by hand, and heavy two handed crossbow wound by foot.
Horse men almost all have bows and arrows, but few hand crossbows. Except for Drogo's collection of a single handed crossbow inlaid with gold and black wood, no other horse men have hand crossbow.
Dany equips each Warrior with two crossbows, which hang on both sides of the saddle, and one for women, children, and the elderly, and the team's attack power is more than doubled at once.
In addition to weapons, Dany also ordered A group of camels.
Her actions immediately caught Xaro's attention, buying weapons can be said to strengthen the protection ability, buying camels...that means you want to leave!
" starlight ah, where am I not good enough? You are leaving so soon. "The merchant wiped away tears and mourned.
"You are a hospitable host." "
Dany hearing this also reddened, and said helplessly: "But I want to go back to Westeros, my people are waiting for me, Usurper is dead, it's the best chance for me, but in I can't get any help here. "
"Oh, it's so sad. Xaro cried for a while, and seemed to ask casually, "My star of Heaven, are you going to ride a camel back to Whitecloud and then back to the Dothraki Great Grass Sea?" "
"Perhaps, if you are willing to send me two sea boats, of course I will go directly by sea. If there is no boat, I can only ride a camel." "
Xaro pondered for a while, wiped away the tears on his face with a silk scarf with a rich perfume scent, and said, "My Heaven star, you don't have to worry so much, maybe things will turn around." "
"What turnaround? The Royal Family has clearly rejected me, and The Thirteen, represented by you, has always let me down. Did the Tourmaline Brotherhood or Guild of Spicers change their minds? "Dany said curiously.
"No, no, no..." Xaro shook his head again and again with contempt, "They won't give you anything but compliments and lies. Guild of Spicers is a collection of hypocrites and braggarts, another name in the brotherhood is 'pirates'. "
"Uh, besides these few forces, who else can Qarth help me?" "
"You remember the Warlock corpse I bought from you? Xaro didn't answer the question.
Dany's pretty face was a little distorted. She had been paying attention to Xaro's magic power bird before, so she told Jorah and Bloodriders about it and asked them to pay attention to Xaro
Jorah did not disappoint, and soon found out about Xaro's physical condition through the servants of the mansion.
Jorah said to her: "The one who helped Xaro perform sorcery is Warlock of Qarth small reputation, Urrathon nicknamed 'Nightwalker'.
After finishing the ceremony, some servants heard the cry of the little boy and the curse of the merchant from Xaro's room. I'm guessing it works a bit, but it's nowhere near as good as expected.
Actually, it doesn't matter whether the witchcraft has improved his physical condition, anyway, most of the time he doesn't need it..."
Speaking of this, he looked Contempt, "All the admiration he said to you is a lie, he doesn't like women at all.
I have noticed that his palace has a large group of boys of all races in beautiful silk clothes, even horse men and Summer Isles. One by one, they were smeared and powdered, and their clothes were light, just... According to the teachings of The Seven, Xaro will definitely play Seven Hells in the future. "
Waking up from the memory, Dany carefully looked at the short and fat Xaro in front of him, his creamy and greasy face looked like freshly baked white bread, and his nose was embellished with Emerald, gold, and gems, matching his colors. The silk robe looks like a bald fat bird with colorful feathers.
People, don't look at it!
"Could it be that Warlock's sorcery is supernatural? she asked.
Xaro didn't notice Dany's strange expression, mainly because his situation was nothing in Qarth. Just like some men in modern society wear women's clothes, everyone is used to it, so they don't Will treat you differently.
"Effective, but must be combined with Warlock's Elixir. "He said eloquently.
Dany tooth acid, is this... is it the effect of the potion, or is witchcraft really at work?
"So what? she asked.
"The Warlocks are regaining their power, and they are likely to regain their former powers again. "Xaro facial expression grave.
Dany sees what he means, and as time goes on, Warlock becomes stronger and stronger, they as it should be by rights will become one of the powerful figures in Qarth, if Warlock is willing to help her, so...
"Maybe Warlock lied to you, even if it were true, why would they help me? "Dany said.
"Try it when you get the chance, it won't get any worse anyway. "The Palace of Dust in Warlock is very dangerous," Xaro suggested. "That Grand Warlock Pyat Pree, let's not touch it yet."
I know a more secular Warlock, Nightwalker Urrathon, who has a desire for money, anyone who loves money can trust me because I have money! "
