Chapter 343 Costs (Part 1)"On my way here on the Ironmen downwind, I didn't A day without divination of your situation by fire, Your Majesty." Although he does not understand Chinese, this does not prevent Moqorro's complacency when Child of Prophecy hit oneself's muzzle - he stared at Daenerys purple with jet-black pupils, "You have been bewitched and led by visions to the land beyond the shadows, where you have been deceived and fooled, and your power has suffered great losses... The only fortunate thing is that there is no danger. The inhabitants of Asshai have Know the world's most bizarre and powerful innate talent and power, but because of this, they are more in awe of the Lord of Light's prophecy than anyone else - you as the Child of Prophecy, no matter how much the Sorcerer coveted your power, they all You can only offer it by deceiving you, and never dare to grab it.”
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, not knowing what Moqorro was talking about, let alone how to interject. . And Daenerys is complexion changed, and it's extremely weird in an instant.
"Heh-" Littlefinger couldn't sit still, although the red robe monk's current opinion is the same as that of oneself, but he can't sit back and watch Queen being fooled by a magician: "Please forgive me to speak bluntly, this remark, for those returning from a long journey, ninety-nine out of one hundred apply. As long as you dare to make up your mind, there will always be stories along the way to confirm these ambiguities.”
Moqorro laughed , Queen naturally has smart people around.
As a Red God priest, he, like all his companions, follows the principles of "fuzziness" and "effort to induce imagination" when interpreting a divine decree or prophecy to believers - explaining too clearly not only degrades the Lord The mysterious feeling of Light in the believer's mind is also easy to greatly increase the difficulty of making up and rounding back when there are obvious deviations in interpretation.
However, when it comes to Child of Prophecy, you don't need to stick to the above rules too much - here, a higher principle comes into play: oneself must be 100% trusted by Daenerys, And guide her to help her overcome difficulties and overcome resistance, return to the place where she should go, fulfill the prophecy, and defeat the old enemy of Lord of Light.
"The person who provided you with Dragon Control has made a request that should not have been made without authorization, and you have paid a price you should not have paid for what should belong to you and the service you should enjoy. After a little deliberation, monk red robe decided to make it clearer: "The more straightforward explanation in common language is that you were killed."
The price? What did she pay in exchange for dragon control?
Petyr looked over at Daenerys, his body shaking imperceptibly.
He suddenly remembered: When their little Queen unexpectedly rode to the east of the dragon a few months ago, she didn't bring a penny with her, and she was the only one who carried anything of value besides the dragon. . But now the Black Dragon is not only back in good shape, but looks bigger and stronger... So, could it be...
Daenerys of Stormborn, the rightful king of oneself allegiance and the only hope of returning to Westeros, actually By selling oneself in exchange for dragon control art?
Littlefinger's expression is slightly distorted. He has been in the Red Keep of King's Landing for many years, and he certainly knows how great the destructive power of "dark history" to prestige and influence can be caused to public figures like "The King". . Robert is able to disregard the opinion of Seven Kingdoms all over him because his position is not stable with the support of his father-in-law and brother... And Daenerys is an entrepreneur who is about to take Iron Throne, and what's more, she is still Queen!
In this world, people have completely different tolerances for men and women for the same thing.
Prince can go through a field of ten thousands flowers and show mercy everywhere, but Queen can't!
With a strong hate iron for not becoming steel mentality, Petyr · Baelish quickly began to think about the best way to minimize the influence of this matter in public relations and public opinion. And Daenerys . . . after breathes deeply, completely relaxed the body.
This is not a word to induce associations, the black-skinned red robe monk in front of him really saw the experience of oneself in the flames.
That's right, she paid the price for the Dragon Control Technique, which means selling herself.
However, this is not a "selling one's body". Compared to the mess Littlefinger was thinking about at the moment, what Daenerys actually did was completely understandable literally.
＊＊＊
Asshai is a city immersed in Magic, where Sorcerer, Alchemist, Moonsinger, Necromancer, Pyromancer, Bloodmage practice spells and incantation at will, and hold strange ceremony , cast monstrous sorcery... as if all transcendents, things and events in the world were gathered here. Daenerys rode a dragon over thousands of mountains and rivers to arrive here, and found that the people here were different from any place she had been to: although they were also curiously watching and pointing fingers at the Drogon riding on oneself, they did not show it. The slightest panic and fear... Compared to seeing a dragon, it was more like a group of ordinary persons seeing a "good horse" they couldn't afford to ride.
This completely abnormal "normal performance" made Daenerys quickly realize: this place is full of strange people and dragons can't cause a sensation, maybe there really is the dragon control technique that oneself wants .
Finding it was easier than you thought: no secrets, exploration, or adventure at all—dragon mastery was stored like a commodity on shelves in a store-like place for an affordable price People can take it for themselves!
The stuff is there, and how to get it becomes the big question - it's more expensive than Meereen's vault can handle, and even more how she doesn't take it with her. Intuition tells Daenerys that trying to "buy" Unsullied like they did in Astapor makes no sense and doesn't work here.
Then it's just a matter of price.
The owner of the consignment firmly rejected the proposal to pay first, and directly asked her to ride the dragon by name: without the dragon control technique, Daenerys had three dragons and could not use it; and in exchange for a Black Dragon With the dragon control technique, not only can she control the remaining two dragons, but she can even receive a complete set of "dragon breeding techniques", which can continue to multiply.
Not an excessive requirement, but a condition that mother absolutely cannot accept. Daenerys also resolutely refuses and walks away, mulling over a solution to the matter while riding a dragon and camping around Asshai. Then, the key mysterious person who had appeared in her hallucination and made her resolve to come here appeared in front of her without warning.
......
Drogon spread his wings and flew away to find today's lunch, while the sudden appearance of the kui lizard stood by the river flowing with black liquid, dressed in the last meeting. The floor-length hooded robe he was wearing at the time, the red lacquer mask under the hood was as sharp as ever, reflecting the dim sunlight of Asshai.
"I thought I would never see you again." Daenerys didn't know if it was an illusion or a dream, but it was not the first time she had seen him and she decided to hurry up and talk about business: "To reach the Westerlands, It must go east; to be bright, it must be through the shadows. I read it right, you asked me to come to Asshai, and I am."
"I am delighted that you have shown wisdom, Daenerys Targaryen. ."
"There are enough flattery people in Meereen's court!" Daenerys disgusted the tone of Que Lizard dressed up as God, playing the Devil: "I found what I wanted, Too bad I can't afford it. You say you want to show me the way, then help me."
"Rationality tells you that an untrained dragon will turn your kingdom into ruins; and Experience tells you that you can't exchange a dragon for it anyway. While following the guidance of reason, you can learn the lessons of experience - this is wisdom, don't take sincere praise as flattery." The masked woman's hand stretched out from under the robe He came out, holding a strangely rolled up book between his slender and slender fingers. "As for what you want, it's here."
Daenerys couldn't care less about bickering with the mysterious woman - her pupils dilated instantly, and what the quill held in her hand was exactly what she had in Asshai earlier The "Dragon Controlling Essentials" seen in the city.
"You want it." Quilunder raised the book in his hand, then squatted down slowly, placing it on the boulder beside his feet: "The truth is, without it, you can't get it back at all Your kingdom...and sadly, without a mentor, you'll never be able to understand it."
"I'm sick of guesswork and esoteric advice!" Daenerys would block his view. A strand of silver hair was raised, and he resisted the urge to run over to get the "Dragon Controlling Essentials", "If you are my friend, then help me master the dragon control art!"
"I can help to you, but it comes at a cost."
"What's the cost?"
"You'll find out soon."
"I don't want much Hurry, I want now, now, now!" Daenerys raised his voice, "In Queen's name, I order you to..."
"Rest well, and if you're curious, read this book first. After the preview, let's try to master it again." The mysterious woman disappeared like when she appeared, beside the boulders by the river flowing with black liquid, no hooded robes, no red lacquer masks, no Kui lizards, only a solitary book left Books lying on stones.
