Chapter 217
Leave the open the city gates, gallop ten li or so, and in a grove, Dany rides Little White again.
Flying west for another half an hour, two dragons landed on a swamp land near Rhoyne. White Cloak took off his leather boots, rolled up his silk trousers, and stepped on the smelly mud. A piece of verdant reeds came back with two huge sacks.
A sack containing iron armor and swords was soaked by water, and the bottom half was also stained with a large piece of black stinky mud. Another sack was piled on top of it, and the books and dragon eggs inside were not wet.
"Wow, great harvest!" Dany whistled, flipping through the armor excitedly.
As soon as I touched the helmet, a strange stench hit my nose, as if the pork I bought from the supermarket forgot to put in the refrigerator in the big Summer, and it passed overnight...
p>
"Uh, Malaquo's armor is too big for me to wear." Dany immediately dropped the helmet on the grass in disgust.
Barristan picked up the helmet like a treasure, wiped the sludge on it with his hands, and said, "Burn it with Dragonflame, and I'll wear it!"
Look at him With a look of "long-awaited by an old man", Dany silently nodded, "Also."
"I threw away the scabbard to save weight," Barristan helped her choose a three-finger-wide sword with a one-meter-two sword edge. "I remember it was called 'Clearsky', About seven jins (market jins) are about 1.5 meters in length, which is a bit light for me, but it is just right with Your Majesty."
"Well, not bad, the sword is good, and the name is alright." Dany Swinging the sword, the hand felt a little sluggish, "The center of gravity is not right, the hilt needs to add a little more weight."
"I have considered this issue," Barristan took out a ball of gold thread from his backpack, "Now I bought it at Smith's shop, and I'll help you."
Looking at the weapon, Dany held Chured's dragon egg in his arms and carefully felt the faint Life Aura in it, as if it were vast in the dark night A candle on the ground.
"This dragon egg belongs to House Targaryen, how did it escape?"
"I don't know, after Dance of the Dragons, the dragons almost died, but the dragon eggs remained Dozens of them. Kings of all dynasties have tried to use Wildfire Dragon Hatching, but all failed. The dragon eggs were burned and destroyed.
Only the fire in Summerhall 40 years ago lost seven dragon eggs.
Maybe someone fished in troubled waters and underreported the number of dragon eggs destroyed." Barristan speculated while tightening the wire ties on the hilt.
"No, it's not the dragon egg from the Dance of the Dragons period. The Braavos said it himself. The dragon egg came from 250 years ago." Dany shook his head and denied.
"It's...so long ago that I don't know at all. You can go to Oldtown and ask Archmaester, they have a history of researching House Targaryen." White Cloak suggested.
The itinerary previously scheduled by Dany and White Cloak was "Astapor - Volantis (2500km) - Dorne (2000km) - Oldtown (2000km) - King's Landing (1700km) - Riverlands (800 km)”.
Well, the above data are all straight-line distances. Dany can fly like this on a dragon, and everyone else has to go around a big circle whether they are riding a boat or riding a horse.
"Things have changed, Oldtown is not as safe as we thought." Dany recounted the Scorpion story with a heavy face.
"Because of Margaery Tyrell? How is this possible." White Cloak looked puzzled, even if his political level was not high, he also understood that Highgarden didn't need to do so much with just a widow queen.
Well, "Little Rose" Margaery is also a wonderful flower in "Game of Thrones".
During the Four Kings hegemony, Renly married House Tyrell's daughter Margaery in order to win over Highgarden. Within days of their marriage, Renly King died at the hands of Old Brother Stannis, and Little Rose became a widow.
The Bucks and Roses' alliance went bankrupt, and after Tywin's efforts, Roses turned to the Lions, and in exchange for the alliance, Cersei's son Joffrey was engaged to the little widow Margaery.
On the wedding day, Joffrey was poisoned to death by House Tyrell's men, and Margaery was widowed for the second time.
According to the plot, Margaery is almost married to Joffrey's younger brother Tommen at this time, but Tommen is only nine years old...
So Little Rose got oneself a The bandit number of "Maiden Queen".
"Citadel still has to go." After a moment of contemplation, the old Knight said resolutely: "Your Majesty, this trip to Westeros has two purposes, to inquire about the current situation in the Seven Kingdoms, and to help Ser Mormont find out about Bear Island. The status quo."
No, neither of the above matters to me, leaving Slaver's Bay to allow enough time for Earl Butcher to cleanse the Ghis nobles in Meereen is my primary purpose.
Have a fight in Volantis, find a chance to show up again in Westeros, the perfect "unknowing" proof - Queen is on business with her grandfather, and everything is "Maester Lai"'s own opinion.
In this way, even if "Maester Lai" went on a killing spree, slaughtered all the Ghis, and made people angry, Dany would at most hold a great trial for the whole people, and then tearfully slaughter "Ma Su".
Of course, this can't be said to the old Knight, she still wants to be a bright and kind Queen!
“Oldtown is Maester's Capital, without a doubt, where the Seven Kingdoms news comes together. At best, you change your face and hide your identity,” Whitebeard continued.
“Would it be okay to pretend to be Shadowbinder?” Dany asked.
"This, Oldtown is not only Maester's Capital. Before Aegon conquered the Seven Kingdoms, the Church of The Seven's Devout Hall was also there. A Spawn of Shadows appeared, which is probably more noticeable." The old man hesitated. Say.
"That line, dye hair, trim eyebrows, apply lipstick."
This world also has hair dyeing technology, dyes extracted from plants, apply a layer of paint on the surface of the hair like a brush, You can clean it with soapy water and restore the original hair color. This is an advantage, but also a disadvantage. It is easy to be found out that you have dyed your hair.
Then the two took out the kraft paper from their backpacks and wrapped the books and swords, especially the books. They would be buried in the ground later, but they should not be soaked in water.
Finding a drier high ground, digging a hole to bury the package, and covering it with a messy turf, barely making it less noticeable.
Well, the dragon egg wasn't buried, Dany had it in his backpack and was ready to take it with him to hatch him as soon as possible.
After all, Long Night nears, there is not much time left for her to develop, and one more dragon brings more strength.
After the Big Black and Little White two dragons shot together, Dragonflame burned the Valyria steel armor red, but did not melt.
Use the sword to pick up the helmet, throat armor, plate armor, arm guards and other parts into the water in sequence, "chi chi chi..."
After a puff of white smoke, Once the matte smoke black armor has become black and gray, like a poor product hammered by the third-rate Smith on the street.
“hehe, it burned unevenly, and there was a color difference.” Dany said with a smile.
"Just to hide it." Knight excitedly took off his chainmail and began to put it on his body, and Dany also went over to help.
After tossing back and forth, it was past noon, and after eating some barbecue, the two climbed the dragon's back again and flew straight to the west.
Speaking of which is also a coincidence, Yunkai, Volantis, Lys, Sunspear, Oldtown are almost at the same latitude, and the two dragons just need to fly all the way west.
This time, we don't need to cross the dangerous Demon Road. The speed of the two dragons is relatively stable, gliding at an altitude of 6000 meters at a speed of about 200 kilometers per hour.
Two hours later, they left the land and entered the Summer Sea, which was a blue seascape for hours afterward.
Around evening, a bustling island appeared in Big Black's field of vision. On the sparkling red sea, with hundreds of sailboats moored, Dany immediately ordered the two dragons to lower their heights.
Lys was also a Valyria colony and also has the Heavenspan Pagoda for dragon takeoffs and landings.
Well, Lys also joined the Allies and was Dany's enemy.
So...
Dany can't bear to start. Starting from the dock, there is a pleasant garden that looks like a palace. Well, the place where bed slave attracts guests, commonly known as brothel.
"Forget it, only rob the nobles of Heavenspan Pagoda, and don't harass the common people." Muttering, Little White fell to the empty platform below.
The black tower located among the Golden Rose flowers is 30 meters high, and the top platform is 400 square meters, which is half the size of the black tower in Malaquo.
No glass dome was built, and there was no one on the flat ground. Under the dim sky, two dragons landed lightly on it, and the whole process did not attract anyone's attention.
Whitebeard jumped off the Black Dragon first, and the iron boots made a crisp "bang" sound on the Blackstone platform.
"Who, who's up there? Hank, do you hear that? There's a voice on the top deck."
"Come on, let's go and see."
The alert call of the guards comes from the stairwell.
If the old Knight didn't hear it, he drew his long sword and called out to Dany on White Dragon's back in a relaxed tone: "I'll go down first, and I'll notify Your Majesty after I've cleared the enemy."
p>
As expected, it is a habit of rushing to rush.
When he robbed the black tower of Oros House Belaerys for the first time, the old Knight was still confused and kept refusing. Now, without Dany's order, he jumped off the Black Dragon skillfully and quietly entered the stairs. During this time, he skillfully cleaned up the guards in the palace.
After a while, there were several screams from the guards before they died. Barristan stuck his head out of the stairs and shouted in a strange tone: "There is an accident, Your Majesty, you have to come and see for yourself. ."
"What accident?" Dany tilted his body like a slide, and slid down the White Dragon's wings lightly.
This made her feel emotional, thinking back a year and a half ago, not long after two little dragons were born, every morning she carried three little fellows to wasteland to practice flying.
Every time they were thrown up, they were so gentle, for fear of breaking the slender, almost transparent wing bones.
Now the blanket-like thick fleshy wings can bear her weight of more than 100 pounds (including chain mail and backpack).
With mixed thoughts, Dany descends the stairs into a splendorous and majestic palace.
Myr rug embroidered with colorful flowers and naked Maiden, two Yi Ti vases at the door, and a purple wood screen from Summer Isles behind the low couch, the sunset passing through The mosaic stained glass on the window projects the halo of a giant crown in the air...
Compared with the Pyramid Palace in Slaver's Bay, it is as rich and noble, as it is in art and delicacy. Of.
In such a gorgeous palace, the two corpses lying on the carpet look a bit unpleasant.
What's even more unpleasant are three men and one woman kneeling on the carpet, two slender naked men with soft skin and tender meat, one golden and one purple hair; one golden long-haired naked body with milky white skin A woman; a blue robe young man clutching his wrist and wailing in a low voice, with a long sword at his feet, a hand crossbow broken in two.
“What happened?” Dany asked.
"Acquaintances!" Barristan said awkwardly.
