Chapter 149
It's because Dany plays real, not slogans, and plays so smoothly that other people hate her so much.
A hatred that stems from deep fear.
Braavos held high the banner of "liberating the slave" for hundreds of years, but the rest of the city-states that mainly trade slaves did not respond at all.
When Braavos attacked Pentos under the pretext of "abolishing the slave system", Myr, Volantis, Tyrosh and other city-states were watching the fun and had no intention of intervening.
But Dany didn't shout "I want to abolish the slave system" to the world at all, she just sneaked in a corner of the world to make a big production, but the Ghis alliance came over, Qarth and Volantis are also sharpening their knives, preparing to Declare war on her.
Even Braavos, who has always opposed the slave system, also has a Faceless Men who came to assassinate her...
In half a year of trifling, Dany, who is low-key farming, has become one of the world's most famous people. The enemy, the mercenaries with a little foresight are not optimistic about her, even if she has three dragons.
So, Denzo really respects her, and the Tattered Prince wants to use the power of the dragon, but neither of them wants to take refuge in her.
Well, they don't want to be martyrs.
"Since Pentos has no defense force, should Windblown 2,000 Elite Steppers be enough?" Dany wondered.
"Your Majesty, you've been to Pentos, you should know how tall and thick the Pentos city wall is," Denzo smiled wryly, "Because of the limited military power, Pentos people are crazy to increase the city wall."
"And the attitude of Braavos is also uncertain. Mother of Dragons is so famous that they dare not directly intervene."
Dany's eyebrows are raised, Windblown is too shrewd, two thousand Pacers are indeed a powerful force, but only used once with Yunkai, not by her forever.
The Tattered Prince apparently did not intend to swear allegiance to Pentos after he captured her.
It is easy to dispatch dragons to help siege the city, but can she handle the pressure from Braavos?
Not to mention that Braavos has the largest navy in the world, the most powerful shipbuilding capability, the most powerful industrial productivity, and the strongest assassin day regiment—Faceless Men...
As far as the Iron Bank level is concerned, she will be able to kill her half-life.
Iron Bank, the creditor of the whole world.
All the gold coins of the world's banks are added together, and there is no more than Iron Bank.
Has the Tattered Prince considered me dead?
The dead are naturally not afraid of how many black pots are put on their heads, at most it is "Death"!
Dany got more upset the more she thought about it, but she couldn't refuse too stiffly.
The mercenary group of 2,000 elite Rebels is enough to rank the top five in Essos continent. It's really going to be hard anal, Dany estimates that the same number of soldiers will be sacrificed.
"I'm not lying, but at another time and place, I will reject you Windblown without the slightest hesitation. But in the current situation, Windblown's attitude is enough to change the outcome of a war, so, Tattered Prince The conditions are not too harsh." Dany said with consideration.
Denzo is secretly nodded, isn't it?
It was because they saw that Mother of Dragons was in a dilemma that they made such harsh conditions.
—both he and the Tattered Prince knew how big and heavy Braavos' Big Black pot was, well, the kind of heavenly pot that would crush the Mother of Dragons again.
Uh, "one more"...
Mother of Dragons is a lot of fun.
Even the world's cauldron of "abolishing the slave system" took the initiative to take down, not less than a Braavos.
“dong dong dong...”
Dany tapped the armrest of the chair and asked softly, “Do you know Illyrio Mopatis?”
Denzo's eyes flashed, nodded and said: "A trade Magister of Pentos, mainly dealing in spices, gems, dragon bone, I heard that your three dragon eggs were bought from Shadow Lands."
"That's right, Illyrio gave me three dragon eggs, and he sheltered me and Viserys from assassin many times. I lived in his house for half a year like a princess.
Then I wandered to Qarth, and he sent three ships to pick me up and return to my country. My Navy Commander Ser Groleo and half of his sailors were also his people."
Dany watched He said: "For another city, I may agree to Tattered Prince's conditions, but I will never violate my friend's city-state, even..."
"If Illyrio speaks, I will The slightest hesitation took down Pentos and gave it to him instead of a penny."
At the end, she said loudly: "Targaryen, a debt must be paid!"
Red Hair Lyra, Pretty Meris, Warrior Bard Denzo, in this brief moment, faces are all twisted.
If Duke Tywin, who was rabid, would be mad if he was here, everyone would complain.
Well, House Lannister's motto is "hear me roar" and Dany isn't a violation.
"Magister Illyrio is afraid that he won't be able to become Prince of Pentos. He came from a poor background and has no bloodline of the forty nobles." Denzo said hesitantly.
"Hehe, Tattered Prince definitely doesn't want to be a puppet anymore. When he comes to power, what will happen to the trade Magister who holds real power? I'm impossible to push oneself's benefactor into Fire Pit, right?" Dany smiled and pushed Big Big The Black pot is thrown over the head of "Benefactor" Illyrio.
"Well, I don't want you Windblown anyway, just grind the foreigners in Yunkai. If I can beat Yunkai, you'll get the Illyrio's approval... well, when I get the Illyrio's letter, and sent dragon to help you take down Pentos."
"This..."
This is at least better than outright rejection.
"I can't decide, I have to go back and discuss with Tattered Prince." Denzo hesitated.
"Okay, let's talk about it at this time tomorrow night. You can tell Wise Masters that I'm asking for too high a price, insist that you won't back down, you can only go back and ask the captain." Dany nods.
"many thanks Your Majesty." Denzo respectfully gave a salute, found Zidan outside the tent, and returned to Yunkai overnight.
Well, Meris obediently and honestly returns to the POW camp.
Under the moonlight and starlight, the two Knights walked back silently listening to the sound of hooves.
Suddenly, the Braavos looked around and asked in a low voice, "It's done?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Dragon Queen insists on a ransom of four times the normal price." Denzo also lowered his voice.
"Anyway, it was Wise Masters who paid for it, and the situation is very special now, and she is not a lion's big mouth." Zidan said puzzled.
"Hehe, I did it on purpose. I'll go back tonight to ask the head of the team and continue the discussion tomorrow." Denzo mysteriously said.
Zidan suddenly came to his senses, "Pa" patted the old poet on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Old man! Another day delay for Yunkai, Master Wise Masters should reward him well. You."
"It's not a delay, after all, as you can see, Mother of Dragons needs time to build siege weapons." Denzo shook his head,
Go back and tell the story After that, the Grand Wise Master really rewarded Denzo 500Gold Honor.
A group of Wise Masters and mercenary Commanders happily opened a midnight party in the Great Pyramid after hearing the news from Zidan.
Returning to Windblown's head room in the early morning, Denzo told the whole thing in its entirety.
"It turns out that Illyrio's relationship with that woman is so deep..." Tattered Prince stroked the gray beard on his chin, and thought for a moment: "Do you know how many days the food for the opposing army will last? ?"
Denzo said: "More than we expected, Unsullied gave us half a catty of wild boar for dinner. I've observed that almost every soldier gets a steak."
"hmph, the nearby forest is so big, how long can I survive by hunting?"
"What do you mean, Captain?" Denzo wondered.
Tattered Prince smiled coldly, and said: "Tomorrow you tell that woman, I agree with her 'plan B', I will not work hard in the following days, Windblown try not to be contaminated by slave army. Blood.
But when she couldn't hold on and had the idea of going back to my 'Plan A', she could use an excuse to talk about the ransom for Ghis captives and put back a yellow silk cape as a signal.
p>
At that time I will automatically make a new agreement with her: Illyrio will get out with his wealth, and she will help me lay down Pentos."
Denzo looked at the grey hair old captain admiringly, Thumbs up: "High, really brilliant!"
"hehehe..."
...
" hehehe..." Dany sneered while looking at the blood oath in his hand.
The next day, Denzo and Zidan still left Yunkai early and had another dinner at Dany's camp.
Although the two have different goals, they are equally pleasantly surprised: today's steak is 1/4/2022 thinner than yesterday, it seems that the porridge is not as thick as last night, and the Dragon Queen will be back later.
During the negotiation that night, Denzo found that the Dragon Queen was also more tired than last night. Does he seem to be worried?
Out of food?
The negotiation went very smoothly, even if Queen repeatedly emphasized: I, Daenerys, are defeated, the whole army is wiped out, and the army is defeated and killed, and I will not do anything to feel sorry for my friends.
But in the end, I simply wrote oneself's name neatly on the contract document.
At noon on the third day, the "Giants of Graz" arena in Yunkai.
With the arrival of the Mother of Dragons, Yunkai also entered a state of emergency on alert throughout the city, and entertainment activities such as gladiator fights and oiran parades were naturally suspended.
The arena of Giants of Graz, which belongs to the Grand Wise Master, is no exception. The stands and tourney ground are empty. Only the stone hall where Pit Fighter trains the martial skill can be heard.
"No, uncle, don't kill me, I don't want to die, uncle, Grand Wise Master, Uncle Mureno, no..."
an eighteen-nineteen year old The young man burst into tears and struggled and cried.
Giants of Graz arena is also built by excavating the ground, so the training ground next to the arena is ten meters above the ground.
The ceiling of the wide training ground is paved with slate, and there are skylights the size of washbasins. The lighting is very good. The golden sunlight transmits from the skylights to the ground. There are blacks visible to naked eyes in the yellow light beams. Dust - soot from the burning of firewood.
The circular training ground is about 500 square meters. In the center is a White Jade stone platform that is thick and two meters high. At the top of the stone platform is a stone egg as bright as gold.
The surface of the stone egg has fine scales, like the skin of a young dragon.
This is a golden dragon egg!
With the stone pillar as the center, the surrounding ground is also painted with fiery-red paint in the shape of a circle of burning flames.
——The holy mark of Lord of Light R'hllor, similar to the seven-pointed star of Church of The Seven.
Each flame holy mark is the size of a baby's palm, and countless holy marks form a huge anti-spiral vortex around the stone pillar.
Two iron chains were pulled out from the upper and lower ends of the stone pillar, and the young man who was crying was chained with chains.
The youth's black erect long wet hair draped over his shoulders, and the Tokar robes and silk trousers also dripped with light azure liquid.
Well, there is a strong olive fragrance.
The youth is still surrounded by firewood...
