Chapter 105
"In the pyramids, you were the first to rise up?" Dany asked the honest Cleon.
Cleon took out a parchment from his waist and said with a smile: "I found this."
"Are you literate?"
"The villain has been a slave since he was a child, he can't read, but a scholar is literate. With a knife on his neck, he is willing to say and do anything."
Speaking, he turned to the tall and strong group behind him. The slave pointed and said: "Through the window, I saw the army and your dragon outside the city, so I joined the kitchen guys to respond to the call of Mother of Dragons and hacked to death Good Master Grazdan's family with a kitchen knife and Pig Slaughtering Blade. Guard."
Dany nods and asks: "I will announce that all slaves are free, and I will reward those who have made great achievements in the uprising. Since you are the first to ask me for a reward, then the first A reward, talk about it, what do you want? Don't worry, now you are Free Folk, you have the freedom to express your inner thoughts freely."
"Is it really possible?" Cleon's eyes shined, eagerly road.
"Of course."
After hesitating for a moment, the butcher said, "Queen Your Majesty will go north to liberate the cities of Yunkai and Meereen, right? Do you want to return to Westeros?"
"It's very likely."
The porker said with bright eyes, "I'd like to serve Queen Daenerys, just like Duke of Westeros Seven Kingdoms, to shepherd for you. One side."
In other words, you want Astapor?
This requirement seems to be outrageous, but in fact it is more in line with the "national conditions" of this world, especially the customs of Westeros.
The Crownlands, directly ruled by House Targaryen, are the smallest of the Seven Kingdoms and not as rich as the Reach, Riverlands and Vale of Arryn lands.
The seven Dukes, including the Iron Islands Greyjoy Duke, have a high degree of autonomy in their respective territories.
For example, Duke often leads the small nobles in the domain to rebel against King.
In general, minor nobles and the common people in the territory are much more loyal to their Duke than to King on Iron Throne, unless King sprays Fire Dragon.
In this popular Feudal System world, if Dany really leaves Astapor and Slaver's Bay, 80% will leave Duke or King in these slave city-states.
So, even though Whitebeard and Jorah were ugly complexion, they didn't speak out against Cleon.
"Cleon, you're very motivated, which is good." Dany encouraged him first, then said, "But you should understand that under Duke, there are Marquess, Earl, Ser (equivalent to Baron), Knight, Free Folk."
paused, after the butcher digested the hidden meaning of her words, Dany continued with a smile: "If you want to reach the top of the pyramid, you have to do it one step at a time. Climb the steps.
Of course, you can also go directly to the top garden, for example, I have a dragon, and riding a dragon can ignore all obstacles on the ground."
Cleon's face Somewhat ugly, he asked stiffly: "I can only be a Knight?"
Whitebeard looked even more ugly, coldly snorted, and advised Dany: "Westeros' Knights do not just represent rank, and nobility. Her Highness the Princess, you have to be careful."
Cleon squinted at the old man from the corner of his eyes, unconsciously showing a trace of murderous intention.
Not to mention the seasoned Whitebeard and Jorah, even the novice Dany noticed it.
This porker is a ruthless character!
"Cleon, don't blame Arstan for being too upright. I can declare that, as a slave of the first uprising in the pyramid, you have high morals enough to be a Knight.
But Knight also needs Knight skills, the ability to fight on horseback in iron armor... Well, you have fought the Great Pyramid, and you have made outstanding achievements. I give you the status of Ser, which is half a level higher than Knight's title, are you willing to accept it?"
Cleon's big, stiff face showed a grin, and loudly shouted, "Ser Cleon will."
In a way, Cleon's offer to ask for a knighthood also did Dany a big favor.
That is to break the existing regime structure of Astapor and establish a new "new Westeros" political structure with Queen Dany as the core.
To put it simply, Cleon unintentionally helped Dany complete a "reform" campaign.
The reason it's the "new" Westeros Feudal System...obviously someone must have mixed it up with too much bootleg from the Great Heavenly Dynasty.
Then Dany takes Cleon to a wooden table in the center of the Plaza of Punishment.
The corpse of the slave hanging there is still unremoved. Under the bright white sun, green-headed flies and fat white maggots are drilling among the carrion, and the immortal slave is still twitching unconsciously. The stench of rancidity permeated the four directions with the smell of sin.
Dany endured disgust, tried to make a serene expression, and shouted to the slaves and servants gathered around the wooden platform: "Everyone saw it? This is the slave, involuntarily, the fate is not in the control of oneself. , without the right to self-respect and progress, what we want to end is such a world that should not exist in this world.
In this slave uprising, the butcher Cleon was the first to respond to my call, His heart that still yearns for freedom led him to make the right choice - to abolish the slave system.
He has set an example for slaves in the world who are still physically and mentally shackled.
He not only liberated the mind of oneself, but also liberated the Great Pyramid, under his leadership, the 2000slave overthrew the rule of the first slave-master family in Astapor.
To this end, when When he asked me for a knighthood, I said yes.
Now, in front of everyone, Ser Cleon will be the first man to go from slave to noble in one day."
Dany looked around, the more than 10,000 slaves at the scene were silent, and they all looked towards the butcher who excitedly waved to the crowd.
"Cleon, do you know the etiquette of being promoted to Ser?" she whispered.
"Know a little."
"Okay..." Dany looked up, shouted loudly: "Cleon!"
The butcher was stunned Leng Cai knelt down in front of her with a look of excitement, "I would like to be loyal to Queen Daenerys."
"ceng!" Dany took out the long sword from his waist, put the sword tip on Cleon's shoulder, and asked: " Are you willing to fight for the cause of liberating slaves for the rest of your life?"
This oath...is something wrong with what the scholar told him?
Cleon was only stunned for a few dazes, then felt a tingling pain in his neck, and suddenly woke up smartly, and when he saw the impatient look in Queen Dany's eyes, he immediately shouted loudly: " I do!"
Dany moved the blade around his neck to the side, said with a smile: "Would you like to be the leading figure of the slave liberation movement?"
"I do!"
motherfucker, my neck is bleeding?
It hurts!
It turns out that when the Westeros nobles took the oath, the sword on their shoulders was such a use...
"Would you like to be the representative of the slave rebels?" Dany asked again.
"I will."
"Very well, I understand your determination, Ser." Dany changed the bloodshot tip of his sword to his shoulder and solemnly announced Said: "I now give you 'Ser Chainbreaker', you can also choose 'Chainbreaker' as the last name of oneself.
Use your Pig Slaughtering Blade to cut off the slave shackles under Harpy's claws, my Ser. Chainbreaker Cleon!"
The Ghis are known as "Sons of the Harpy", and Astapor is marked by the claws of Harpy with the shackles open.
As for the surname... The Cleon family has been a slave for several generations and has no surname at all. Using a title as a surname is also Dany's previous plan.
"I, Cleon Chainbreaker, swear in the name of Ser Chainbreaker, I will protect my oath with oneself's life in this life!" Cleon cracked his fat big mouth happily.
To be honest, although he asked Dany for the seat of Duke Astapor, he didn't have high expectations for deep in one's heart.
After all, the person who rules Astapor now is Queen Dany who has Unsullied and dragons, Yunkai and Meereen are not even a shadow!
What he wants most is the expert first-class. As the only Ser in the slave, he thinks that his identity at this time is already Queen Dany under one person, above ten thousand people.
He is really happy and satisfied for the time being when he achieved the goal of oneself.
"Cheers for Ser Chainbreaker!" Dany took the lead in applauding as he returned his sword to its sheath.
"Long live Queen Daenerys!"
"Long live Mother of Dragons!"
"Ser Chainbreaker, Ser Chainbreaker!"
. .....
There are chaotic calls, slaps, stomps, and the crunch of chains colliding below.
After a while, Dany pressed his hands down, pointed at the crucified corpse, and said to Cleon, "Ser Chainbreaker, you cut their chains for me."
"As you bid!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Ser Butcher, who was surging with blood, pulled out the Pig Slaughtering Blade around his waist, and cut off the hemp rope tied to the slave's wrist, ankle and neck. with spikes.
That skilled knife craftsman really has several points of Ling Lingqi's demeanor, worthy of being the No. 1 porker in Astapor!
Dany one-knee kneels, personally unfastening the collar on the slave's neck, each time she unfastens the collar, she lifts it over the top so that all the slaves in the audience can see, and then throws it to the ground, making a loud voice. Said: "I declare that you are free and return the identity of Free Folk to the kingdom of Spiritual God."
A dozen corpses in a row, her white hands were stained with blood, minced meat and a few fat maggot.
"Mother of Dragons, Mother of Dragons..."
"Mhysa, Mhysa, Mhysa!"
The slave below was moved to tears Eyes wide, and gradually, Mother of Dragons becomes "Mhysa".
Well, Mhysa means "mother" in the Ghiscari language of the Old Empire of Ghis.
The warm atmosphere at the scene also moved Dany, who originally had several points of show.
Alas, I can't just think about ruling the world and building an immortal Golden Clan, I should bring something better to this world.
Abolishing the slave system is one of the goals!
At this moment, Dany's consciousness sublimated into a firm belief.
She patted the newly promoted Ser on the shoulder and ordered: "Ser Cleon, now I give you an honorable mission to lead your original chef subordinates to various pyramids to recruit surrender and betrayers, and you don't have to go into battle in person. , you can recruit a 100-person Ser Guard."
Looking sideways at the bloody dirt on his shoulders, Cleon twitched the corners of his mouth a few times and said stiffly: "As you bid!"
"Ser, you have to understand that the title is promoted due to merit." Dany said meaningfully.
The implied meaning in the words was too obvious, Ser Butcher's eyes lit up and excitedly said: "Guaranteed to complete the mission!"
After the dirty work was handed over to Ser Chainbreaker of wild ambition, Dany continues the oneself glamorous show.
She first gave a sincere speech, mainly expressing her deep hatred for the slave system and her deep sympathy for the slaves.
Then it's the same as horse men slave and Unsullied: if you want to get rid of slave status, you must fight for oneself.
Well, the slaves who participated in the riot were separated from the rest of the Astapor by the Unsullied guards.
The slaves of the battlefield uprising have paid the price in blood, Dany walks past them one by one, Unsullied unlocks the chains and slave collars for them, and she loudly declares: "You have won your freedom with oneself's hands and courage. ."
Except for the 2000 slaves who died in battle, there are more than 5000 slaves who rioted and survived, and they were all brought over by Unsullied.
And after Unsullied announced Dany's policy on the block, Plaza of Pride also watched the ten-twenty thousand slaves who were eating melons - their masters dared not detain them any longer.
For these inactions, only picking up cheap "smart people", Dany didn't embarrass them, just asked to shout "I want freedom" just like yesterday's Unsullied.
Almost everyone shouted.
Well, "almost" means there are still people who don't want to be free.
