Chapter 90
"That's all?" Dany raised his eyebrows, "The Ghis people have been selling slaves for thousands of years, but they haven't met a decent enemy."
"Two reasons are enough to stop the horse men from attacking. , and Astapor is located in Slaver's Bay, Meereen and Yunkai may have trade competition with Astapor, but they are not enemies.
Almost all the Ghis people in the eastern hinterland, the Lhazar people in the east of the mountain range are aliens. They are 'sheep people' and have no threat."
"If..." This time Dany pondered for a long time before slowly asking: "If the slave system disappears, except for the Ghis people, Who will suffer great losses in it?"
"Her Highness the Princess, what are you... planning to do?" Whitebeard exclaimed in horror.
"Me? What can I do?" Dany shrugged and said with a smile: "Anyone who participates in slave trade is guilty. This is what you said, I just want to know what else in this world except Me, some wicked guy."
Whitebeard stared at her for a while, but couldn't tell if she was joking.
"Slave trade is the most important part of the entire nautical trade. Qarth, Volantis, Lys and other city-states are almost entirely supported by slaves. It's not that no one has tried to end the slave system, but... ..."
Speaking of this, the old man sighed helplessly and said: "Her Highness the Princess, Andals originated in the Essos continent, you know?"
"I heard about them Established a kingdom in Andalos on the continent Northwest?"
The old man nodded, and asked, "What about now?"
"It seems that there is no trace of them," Dany said.
“Andal civilization and Church of The Seven originated in Essos continent, but almost disappeared in this continent, but in Westeros, Andal is the strongest culture.
I don’t know What happened back then, but it's a fact that the doctrine of The Seven is fading in this continent, and the doctrine of The Seven is adamantly opposed to slavery."
He then asked, "You know how Braavos was founded. ?"
Dany said: "In Qarth, listened to an old-spot horse men... oh Jogos Nhai man, he told me. A group of Valyria slaves under the direction of Moonsinger Escaped from the Dragonlord and built a floating city at the northwest apex of the continent."
"Yes, Braavos was built by a group of slaves. As the leader of the Nine Free Cities, Braavos is powerful.
A hundred years ago, Braavos Sealord fought with Pentos for more than ten years in order to abolish the slave system. Pentos lost and promised to abolish the slave system.
Does Her Highness the Princess know that Pentos has a slave now? ' he asked Whitebeard, looking at Dany.
"Yes, I have seen many servants wearing slave collars at Magister Illyrio's mansion."
"So you understand?" The Seven comes to the world, and will stay in the world, otherwise the slave system will never be abolished.
Whoever dares to have this idea is the enemy of the whole world.
Even Braavos Not really sympathizing with the slaves, but for political purposes, with the slogan of abolishing the slave system for domination of the upper plains of Rhoyne."
"so that's how it is..." Dany suddenly lifts the head and asks: "Arstan, how's your swordsmanship?"
"What?"
"I heard that the two younger sisters of Aegon the Conqueror were powerful Knights, and that Visenya also held the 'Dark Sister' to save Aegon's life from the assassin?"
Dark The Sister is also a Valyrian Steel Sword, an exquisite lady's sword whose last owner was Bloodraven Brynden Rivers, one of the noble illegitimate children (a different mother brother of Daemon Blackfyre).
Aegon IV the Unworthy had a tragic future, and both of House Targaryen's ancestral swords were given to the illegalimate child, and now they are all lost.
"Uh, yes." The topic jumped again, and the old man became more and more at a loss.
"How do you think my innate talent is better than Visenya?"
"Oh, you want to learn martial skills." Now the old man understood and said happily: "I can guide you , I will definitely train you into a strong female Knight."
Seemingly afraid that Dany lacks self-confidence, he said cheerfully: "Prince Rhaegar was obsessed with reading since he was a child, and many people worried that he would become the second Saint Baelor.
Later, when he read something in the book, he suddenly decided to become a Warrior.
He was not much younger than you at that time, but when he trained hard Afterwards, he soon became a Knight on tourney ground."
"What did he read in the book?" Dany said curiously.
"This..." Whitebeard shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, I only guess that it might be a prophecy, Azor Ahai's one. Maybe His Royal Highness Prince realized the mission of oneself, for the sake of oneself. ...Well, I don't know."
Practicing martial arts to kill Others?
Alas, big brother, you really think too much, you are not the Warrior in the prophecy at all.
Dany is both happy and suddenly hesitant to hear that oneself has a chance to become an expert.
If you can only make do with being a third-rate Swordsman, it's okay to be a Knight with Whitebeard, just exercise your body, but if you have the opportunity to become a first-rate great expert, you can't live your life together.
She said: "I think women are more suitable to be a Water Dancer."
If Westeros is a Knight civilization, Nine Free Cities is a sea trade and assassin civilization.
The people who practice martial arts in Free Cities all take the way of assassin, light and agile, proficient in stealth concealment...
Water Dancer is this kind of Swordsman, its Sword Art is fast and deadly, focusing on fast and elegant movement, stealth, and balance.
In legend, the most powerful Water Dancer was able to fight on the water's surface without causing a ripple.
Also, the strongest and most ruthless woman in Game of Thrones, Arya (Arya Stark), is a Water Dancer.
The third-rate Water Dancer is no different from the third-rate Knight, but if they can reach the first class, women with weaker physical strength are undoubtedly more suitable for the Water Dancer.
Wait for Dany's reason for oneself, Whitebeard nods and said again: "Her Highness the Princess, you have considered it very well, if you become a Water Dancer, your future achievements will be higher. But the problem is , why did you learn the martial skill?"
"Well, fight with the army to prevent being assassinated," she said.
"Then you should still be a Knight. The Water Dancer is an offensive assassin. In a chaotic battlefield, the Water Dancer's survivability is not even as good as a normal Knight, because he has no armor."
Having said that, he pointed to Jorah, taking him as an example: "Braavos is responsible for protecting Sealord's chief court Swordsman as the strongest Water Dancer, both sides remove the armor, he can fight ten Knights like Ser, and he is unscathed— —"
"You fart!" Jorah was furious.
Whitebeard waved his hand to calm him down and continued: "But wearing this Valyria steel armor, Ser Jorah can easily hack ten First Swords to death.
If on the battlefield , 100 Knight Jorahs in ordinary armor against 100 First Swords, Knight can easily wipe out Swordsman."
Dany understood the meaning of the old man and thought about it: "You also said, First Sword Sword is responsible for protecting Sealord. In the future, I will ride a dragon even when I go to the battlefield, but daily defense of assassin is more important."
"I think the mission of daily defense of assassin belongs to Kingsguard, otherwise..." Whitebeard looked at Jorah and said indifferently, "Otherwise this Valyria steel armor would be wasted."
Jorah puffed out his chest and glanced at the old man with a smug look, realizing that he was still concerned about the loss of the armor. brooding.
That's right, if Whitebeard voluntarily reveals his identity, the armor must belong to him.
"Princess, what Sealord needs more is the insight of the Water Dancer. The Water Dancer is good at observing and can detect assassin in advance. You can learn the way of the Knight first, and then meet the brilliant Water Dancer and ask him There is no contradiction in learning the Water Dancer technique,” says Jorah.
"Okay, I'll learn sword techniques with Whitebeard tomorrow."
Second day before the sun rises, around four or five in the morning, Dany put on leather armor, Leather pants, riding boots, came to the deck to practice sword with Whitebeard.
Without special stance and strength training, Whitebeard first helped her adjust her center of gravity, and then taught her the standard posture for holding and swinging the sword.
He said he would continue teaching her the steps when she could control her weight during the swing.
When Dany asked if there was any strength training, the old man told her that she was already doing strength training during the swing.
She didn't quite understand it at first, but when Sun rose, she had swung the heavy two handed sword 300 times in a row, and the sweat stream flowing down her legs into her boots made her understand the old man Not lying.
This is really strength training.
Knight's great sword is heavy!
At about eight or nine o'clock after finishing the morning exercise, she went back to the room to take a shower, changed clothes and was having breakfast when two Astapors came over.
They were clerks from the Kraznys to ask if they could get an estimate of Dany's belongings.
In this way, you can know her purchasing power.
- Dany asked the slave-master to reserve Unsullied for her yesterday.
Dany glanced at Groleo and said with a smile: "Would he be angry if I sold Magister Illyrio's goods?"
"This... ." Blackbeard glanced at Silence not far away, hesitantly said: "Don't you have a ship of Euron gold and silver jewelry?"
"Maybe not enough." She said with a smile.
"How much Unsullied do you want to buy?!" Blackbeard exclaimed in shock.
"How much? I didn't get it right, that bitch... oh, how many slaves are we going to sell our good Queen Your Majesty?" The little translator asked.
Dany entire group crosses red brick streets again today, from the Plaza of Pride.
Kraznys' pyramid was built here, and the Plaza of Pride counts as his "yard".
This time, his servant took Dany and the others to the garden at the top of the pyramid, about 150 square meters, covered with green grass, surrounded by persimmon trees and apple Fruit Trees, and the big golden persimmons and red apples hung together The branches are very beautiful.
There is also a pool to the north of the garden, where you can soak in and enjoy the view of the harbour.
It's still the pair of twin milk men who fan the slave-master, he sits on a tall wooden chair with his back against the pool, like a throne, and Dany sits on a two-meter-long low soft couch Opposite him, Jorah, Whitebeard, Jhogo, Jhiqui are standing behind her.
Well, there's also a maid above her head holding a huge rice yellow parasol.
"Master, Her Royal Highness Queen wants to buy all of Astapor's Unsullied, all of them." After getting Dany's confirming look, the little translator said Nane.
