Chapter 345 swift and decisiveWarlock who called himself "Immortal" attacked oneself in Qarth Before it happened, it was hard for Daenerys not to be jealous and suspicious of the behavior of the quill "circling around in a big circle, beating around the bush and finally wanting oneself blood".
Luckily, the place where the two meet is often in Daenerys' home or open space rather than a closed environment like the House of the Undying, which puts her at ease. But even if he believed that the masked woman would not murder oneself's life, Daenerys had to consider the possibility that if the "dragon blood" was paid according to the length of the lecture, the other party might not be able to work hard and delay the teaching of dragon control all the time. ?
Accepting the strange price of bloodletting gives Daenerys the illusion of making a deal with the devil, but she has no choice, the only thing she can do is to fight: offer to settle half the money first - she asks for oneself to truly master the dragon After completing the contract with Drogon in the "Yaodian", pay the remaining half.
＊＊＊
Daenerys' memories of selling blood for dragon control come back to the Imperial Council.
The process is not important, the end is - at the cost of selling nearly a bottle of blood twice, she has almost completely mastered the dragon control technique. With her help, Daenerys quickly completed the Soul binding with Black Dragon Drogon, turning from its nurturer and "mother" to its true master.
And now, the red robe monk Moqorro not only accurately stated what happened to oneself in Asshai, but even revealed more information between the lines:
The person who provided the dragon control technique arbitrarily proposed that it should not be For the request, oneself paid a price that should not have been paid for the things that should belong to oneself and the services that should have been enjoyed—what does this mean? Could it be that Que Lizard offered the lost knowledge of Valyria not entirely out of enthusiasm, but entrusted by others... Even someone had already paid for the "Yaodian", and she asked oneself for blood, which was purely a temporary intention and an extra request?
As for oneself's concern that "the other party will kidnap oneself under house arrest to obtain continuous dragon blood", is it because of the "reverence of the Lord of Light prophecy" by the black robe priest in front of him that he never dared to implement?
The little Queen was full of confusion and suspicion, but finally suppressed the urge to ask questions carefully. She knew that the imperial meeting was not a good place to interpret the divine decree, and if she fell into the story told by Moqorro, she was too obsessed with the "messages in the flames" from the Red God priests, and she could easily be led by the nose and become a leader. A ruler who kneels at the feet of religious forces and whose power is overridden by belief.
Moqorro has proved that he is not a swindler, and what oneself should do now is to show respect for his advice.
......
"Very well, I will return to Westeros to perform my duties." Daenerys raised his chin slightly and quickly regained his state. "But not 'immediately', but 'as soon as possible'." After all, she is the Queen of Meereen, and has the power and qualification to make the final decision: "It may be a luxury to let the slave system disappear from the world quickly, and I have to let it go for now. ...but at least in Slaver's Bay, the three cities of Astapor, Yunkai and Meereen that I have visited, good order and normal production and life must be restored - I will never allow those who call me liberators, mothers, After being free, it was harder than when I was chainbreaker. This is my bottom line, and it will be the next, until I set sail back to Westeros... The only problem that people loyal to me should focus on solving! "
Awesome, although the starting point is different, but if Slaver's Bay can be settled before the sailing counterattack, everything that can be brought back to Seven Kingdoms in terms of quantity and quality of troops, weaponry and logistics can be improved. A big step in the direction of Daenerys—even if Daenerys was going to leave right away, Littlefinger would persuade her to simply pack up and set off. Now that she's taking the initiative to bring it up, it saves Petyr a lot of fuss.
"Smart decision, Your Majesty, but I have to present to you the reality of what Meereen is facing right now: we are surrounded by enemies and trouble." The Hand of the Queen sat up straight, using In a flat but clear tone, he opened the mouth and said: "Your Majesty's hatred of slaves is out of benevolence and fraternity, but the fierceness displayed is unreasonable madness and confusion for many Leaders on this continent. Your series of actions in Slaver's Bay touched the nerves and interests of countless people - slave trade is not only the livelihood of these 'sale points' in Slaver's Bay, it is also a channel for Dothraki to deal with prisoners of war, in exchange for daily resources. It affects the balance of maritime trade in the whole world."
Seeing Hand of the Queen winking at oneself, the Unsullied commander Grey Worm, who had simply passed the meeting before the meeting, began to report the latest military situation: "Yunkai and Astapor, who was captured by them, declared war on us as expected, and it also makes sense that Thros, Elia and Ghis would join the war as slave city-states one after another... The good news is that these are close to our neighbors, and Unsullied has been in that not long ago. They are strong great injury and will never become a climate in the short term. And the bad news is that the opponents we have defeated are only the weaker part of those who declared war on us.”
Missandei picked up the words quickly and pointed to the map spread out on the table: "In the port, the newly arrived Volantis Armada blocked the port, preventing us from obtaining resources by sea; ten miles away in the Western District, the first The Volantis Army, which arrived with the ship, has already set up a barracks on the shore. The deep trenches and high fortresses have merged with the New Ghis Legion. They are waiting for the mercenaries from all over Essos to continue to strengthen their strength, and incidentally threaten our work outside the city. peasants; in addition to that, our enemies informed the Dothraki of what you were doing at Slaver's Bay, trying to win all Khalasar against you."
"Whether Volantis led Free Cities, or The horse-riding Warriors in the Great Grass Sea are far more powerful than Yunkai can. Fortunately, Free Cities is thousands of miles away and beyond our reach, and Dothraki is by lar ge and small consist of independent Khalasars, although the overall strength is strong, it is impossible to be mobilized by the unified command to attack us. "Petyr said with a solemn face: "But the threat is not only from the enemy, the plague in Meereen City has not been completely eliminated, we, like the enemy, cannot exert our full strength, and the situation is still serious. Your Majesty wants to clean up the mess and return to Westeros as soon as possible, at least the following objectives must be completed first. "
He stretched out three fingers: "1. It is necessary to defeat the huge fleet in the bay, the Volantis Army and the New Ghis Legion on the shore at the least cost, relieve the external threat of Meereen, and capture enough prisoners by the way. and sailors, to lay the foundation for the return voyage; 2. No martial arts, in short, try to subdue Yunkai and Astapor, and achieve Your Majesty's goal of establishing stability and order on the east bank of Slaver's Bay, the three cities are prepared together, it must be better than Meereen's one can provide. more, and better quality personnel and supplies; 3. New nobles who settle the plague and begin to stir before departure - whether it is disease or ambitious, Your Majesty can have a thousand absolutely solutions while still in Meereen City, But if you set sail with hidden dangers, a plague broke out inside the fleet or a fire in the backyard while the fleet was floating at sea, it would be a disaster. "
"I'd like to add - we still have to negotiate with the enemy, the Volantis fleet and the New Ghis Legion are just tentacles outstretched by them, severing will hurt the enemy, but it doesn't count. Broken bones. In the end, it is necessary to coerce and induce a definitive peace agreement to give Meereen more time to breathe and recuperate. And the Dothraki is the trouble within the trouble - if they rush their captives to Slaver's Bay and find that they can't find a buyer, they will definitely pour their anger on Your Majesty. Even if the Warrior can't break the city, it can definitely be easily forced Stop all our out-of-town planting and production. "
Missandei's additions are quite valuable, Petyr nodded approvingly. Daenerys, on the first seat, is tightly frowned, more trouble to solve than imagined, and obviously not fully Rely on blood and fire to solve it. This is still only the most crucial point to say, she understands: more detailed problems and troubles are still hidden under the macro.
"About the enemy, I will Let everyone see the results of Yulong. "The Queen said in a cold tone of killing intent: "The negotiations with Volantis and Ghis, as well as the solution to the Dothraki who came to sell the prisoners of war, I think my Hand of the Queen will solve it for me. As for the plague... Your Excellency Moqorro, Lord of Light possesses great magical power, should be able to help Meereen deal with this trifling disease? ”
“Lord Queen has an order, as your most loyal friend, I will naturally give you my full help. "Dark-skinned priest nodded: "I will do my best, but whether the pale mare can be eliminated in the end depends on the will of the Lord of Light." "
"I take this as your guarantee to fix it." Daenerys has probably understood some of the rules in this kind of typical idiot's speech. After giving him a deep look, he turned to Littlefinger: "Petyr, where are you?" "
"Negotiate and Dothraki...I'll figure it out." "Petyr persuaded uncomfortably," but I still hope Your Majesty will listen to my advice. Dragons are the ultimate weapon, and it's better to use them sparingly. Dangers aside, if word gets back to Westeros too soon that you've got control of the dragon, you're going to be missing a big trump card when it comes to the Iron Throne showdown in the future. "
"I don't need it at this time, I don't need it at that time, do I have to wait until all my soldiers are dead before I take it out?" "Daenerys remain unmoved," A powerful weapon should be used decisively. We quickly resolved all issues at Slaver's Bay, set off before the news got back to Westeros, and by the time the Drogon's lackeys got the information and got ready to deal with the dragons, I was riding Drogon over their heads. Go assemble my navy and army, and we'll attack at sunset! ”
