Chapter 399
Dany decides to go to King's Landing in three days to see Cersei's tits.
Just as she was hesitating, whether to send Little White to be a melon eater, or let Big Black go over and chat with the people of King's Landing... The queen mother's good body.
Marwyn, chewing a mouthful of Sourleaf, called her urgently.
Well, it's Citadel's Archmaester Marwyn, and he and his black sister Alleras and the fifth White Cloak Garth Greysteel Hightower are all on the Old Man of Oldtown shopping fleet.
Every night, Dany has two regular programs, first send Quaithe a True Dragon roar to wash Soul, and then use glass candles to search for 3 minutes Marwyn, one-eyed Faceless Men, Jaqen three traces.
As for those two Faceless Men, it goes without saying that Dany can't wait to stare at them all the time, and it is best to find all the Faceless Men strongholds.
As for Marwyn, it was just a routine search. When overwhelming majority, Dany couldn't find him, because the other party was not online at all.
——Marwyn had an agreement with Dany to activate the glass candle in the event of an accident and contact her at a fixed time during the night.
After all, Hightower's grain buying fleet also has dozens of ships, three million Golden Dragons, and the Magic books that Old Man of Oldtown found from Citadel.
In case of being robbed by pirates, the loss will be huge.
Her worries are not unfounded.
Stepstones is the world's most notorious pirate den, the entrance to the Narrow Sea, and supports pirates from all over the world.
Even the Ironmen often go to Stepstones to practice their oneself pirate craft.
Like Euron, who was a pirate in Stepstones when she was young, and Yara Grejoy who was in Stepstones for three or five years.
No, Hightower's fleet was targeted by pirates as soon as they left the Summer Sea.
In Oldtown, the Old Man of Oldtown negotiated the price with the grain merchants on the other side of the Narrow Sea and determined the quantity of grain.
Then, the purchase of grain fleet transports the gold over, and the big grain merchants begin to allocate grain from small merchants and farmers.
Wait for the Hightower's gold to be shipped to Myr, Pentos, and the Merchant Prince of Myr and Pentos also mobilized the grain to the port, just in time to fulfill the last part of the contract at Myr and Pentos: pay first and deliver .
In other words, the story of Hightower's shipment of gold to Free Cities has long spread in the Narrow Sea, and even the Braavos people in the north have known about it - in fact, Hightower's large-scale purchase of grain has led to crazy food prices It has risen fivefold, and the people of the world know it.
...
Daytime, Dany's mental protection with Gerold at Braavos; evening, Dany's mental protection with Barristan at Dragonstone; Midnight, Dany's mental protection through glass candle, across 6,000 kilometers, came to the captain's room "Whitetower" at the entrance to the Narrow Sea.
Just like what Dany said to Stannis that day: Unlike some Kings who have a lot of free time and can only grind their teeth to pass the time, Dragon Queen is really busy!
"What's the matter?" Dany's voice was shaky, like a cell phone with a bad signal.
Not only the sound, but also her projection, a blurry silver-gray silhouette, like a 150-inch 8k LCD screen, playing low-resolution vcd discs.
This is because of the distance.
Dany announced to the public that he went to Braavos. In fact, the main body has been hiding in Slaver's Bay to understand the Song of Wind.
There are only three people in the small captain's room, Marwyn the bull, White Cloak Garth Hightower with an embarrassed look, and Alleras, the Magic apprentice.
Marwyn and Garth looked at each other, and finally White Cloak stepped forward to give a salute and said, "A day after leaving Sunspear, a fast ship just and honourable followed us.
It's just that Hightower's fleet is too big, and the pirates can't eat it for a while, so they didn't act immediately. When the fleet is close to the Broken Arm, more and more pirates will come around, and a war will break out."
"How many boats do you have, how many sailors?" Dany asked.
"There are more than 100 in total, most of them are flat-bottomed sailboats with a load of about 200 tons, belonging to offshore cargo ships. The number of longboats and warships with rams combined does not exceed ten, and the sailors are less than 2,000. ." House Hightower's second child.
“If I come to rescue you, Earl Hightower will not be able to hide the fact that he has taken refuge in me.” Dany said with a smile.
Old Man of Oldtown took refuge in the Dragon Queen to ensure the future prosperity of the family, but was unwilling to immediately raise the flag to create Iron Throne's rebels, especially his monarch, Highgarden Tyrell, who is standing Lannister's side.
"This..." Garth remembered father's exhortation, lowered his head in shame, blushed, and said embarrassedly: "I have thought about this from father, he, he... he Let you pretend to be a pirate and hijack this fleet."
"What?" Dany suspected that oneself was having hallucinations and was uncertain: "You asked me to rob you as a pirate?"
"What?"
"What?" p>
Garth Greysteel blushed like a monkey ass, and hummed: "Your Majesty, you heard it right, the people of the world know that House Hightower ordered 3 million Golden Dragon food from Free City, So, Narrow Sea pirates flocked to rob the Golden Dragon on board. You know about it, and you..."
"Ai, I'm sorry," Garth couldn't go on. , closed his eyes, and apologized awkwardly, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I fathered him, he...even if you didn't meet the pirates at Stepstones, you'd have to stop the fleet at Blackwater Bay."
"Okay, I get it," Dany comforted him after ending the embarrassment of oneself Knight at the right time, "You don't need to apologize, Earl Hightower is just to protect the peace of Oldtown and the hundreds of thousands of people in Hightower's territory. No war."
"Your Majesty..." Garth's wet blue eyes widened, moved.
...
Ten thousand years ago, at the end of the First Age, there was a bridge called "Arm of Dorne" continent, which brought Dorne and Essos of Westeros together. disputed areas are linked together.
When the First Men invaded Westeros along the wall of Dorne, the Greenseers in the Children of the Forest jointly launched a huge Magic of formidable power, and in one fell swoop the continent bridge hundreds of kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long. Broken into countless islands of various sizes, now known as Stepstones.
Stepstones are located at the entrance to the Narrow Sea, where half of the world's merchant ships pass through.
Such a golden road, even Valyria occupied one of the islands and established Freehold - Tyrosh.
One of the islands, "Torturer's Deep", may not be the largest, but it has a great port comparable to Tyrosh.
Hot noon, Torturer's Deep dimpled port.
blue sky and white clouds, mild northeasterly wind.
The waves on the coast, one after another, lightly brush the hull of the boat with new brown paint.
"wu wu wu ——" the horn of sailing sounded in the port, the sailors were busy in the sun, some people twisted the lock plate, pulled the iron anchor from the sea, some sailors were in the first mate's The white sails were hoisted, and thousands of oarsmen put their long oars into the sea, rhythmically paddling the wood pulp to the beat of the drums.
Ten Hegemon-like battleships are lined up in the port, the white sails are slowly pulled up, and they slowly sail towards the vast sea outside the port.
"Sigh--" Suddenly, a heaven-shaking dragon roar sounded in the sky.
Then the sailors on deck felt a shadow slide over their heads.
Looking up, I saw a Black Dragon with a wingspan of more than ten meters drilled out of the white cloud and flew over ten giant ships one by one.
"Ahhh, Dragon, Demon Dragon!!" Sailors shouted frantically, whether it was excitement, fear, or both?
"Mother of Dragons is here! Quick, quick, put up the ballista..." the captain on the bridge shouted hastily.
Seeing a group of little brothers looking up and greedily watching Wonders' dragon, he stomped his feet and cursed: "What are you doing? We are pirates, people like Mother of Dragons, not even slave-masters. Excuse me, can I come here to see the scenery? Eighty percent of the time, it is for the sake of the people, we are 'harm'!"
"wu wu wu ——" At this moment, the flagship came from the soothing and long-lasting The trumpet sounded, followed by the semaphore: Do not act rashly, let alone do any hostile behavior!
"I am the eldest son of Dragonmother Daenerys!" Black Dragon's voice was loud, like a blast of thunder, making the pirates below dizzy.
"Ah—Dragon, Longneng, talk?!" The pirates were stunned.
"I am Holy Light, I am Heavenly Dragon of Great Might, I am..."
Big Black's name is now longer than his mother, Imposing manner To speak a long sentence with authority, regardless of whether the person below remembers it or not.
"The pirate leader below is Aurane Waters?" Heavenly Dragon Big Black began to get to the point.
At this time, the warships that were preparing to use the bay have all stopped moving forward. The oarsmen heard the dragon's voice, put down their long oars, climbed from the cabin to the deck, and looked up in amazement.
"I am Aurane Waters, the great Holy Light dragon, Heavenly Dragon of Great Might, I will serve Daenerys Your Majesty, I am the illegitimate child of Driftmark, I am the father generation before last Earl Velaryon, I am Allegiance to Targaryen!"
On the bridge of the flagship, a young man with silver golden shawl and long hair shouted wildly, waving his arms to the sky.
The Driftmark illegitimate child raised his hands and surrendered without waiting for Big Black to say the purpose of his trip.
Even the Dragon Queen in Big Black Mental Sea had a brain shutdown and was stunned.
Leaving the Wall on the same day, Dany spent a night at Driftmark, during which in addition to recounting her experience in the Wall, she also had a short talk with the parents of little Earl Moterys.
Moterys tells the Dragon Queen that Velaryon is not the only one left, he also has an adult illegitimate child uncle, Aurane Waters (ps), who is taking Cersei's galleon as a pirate at Stepstones, Self-proclaimed "Lord of the Waters".
I also asked Dragon Queen if I wanted to call the illegal child uncle back to serve her.
Dany declined at that time, she felt that Driftmark illegitimate child's character was too bad and looked down on him very much.
In order to trifling ten galleons, she can't afford to get a scum who betrayed her old master to be disgusting oneself by her side.
Cersei cut it down to the smallest detail, from an illegal child without a title to a Master of Ships.
But Aurane stabbed her in the back when the benefactor needed him most, not only failed to rescue Cersei trapped in Great Sept, but also led Royal Fleet to escape.
Even if Cersei was her enemy, Dany couldn't like a servant who betrayed his master.
It's like the arrogant Zhuge Kongming doesn't look down on Wei Yan.
However, the true fragrance law is so powerful.
No, it's only been a week since she came over.
A week ago, Dragon Queen: Betray the master, go out! Don't stain my eyes.
A week later, Dragon Queen: Good fragrance!
It's really fragrant. Without the Dragon Queen's personal presence, the newly acquired little brother can easily clean up the pirates and hijack the Hightower fleet's mission by the way.
After getting Cersei's ten super battleships, Aurane is almost the most powerful pirate in Stepstones at this time, and he originally planned to raid Hightower's fleet.
I even contacted a group of pirates nearby to agree on a time and place for the robbery.
Two days later, a terrible news gradually spread from the Stepstones to the major city-states: Torturer's Deep new pirate "Lord of the Waters" acknowledges allegiance to Dragon Queen, with the help of "Deathwing" , swept ten nearby islands in one day (Lord of the Waters had banded together to rob allies of the Hightower fleet).
Dragon Queen becomes Stepstones' largest Pirate King.
