Chapter 455
The stone men were not brought into the city.
The prisoners wrapped them in greased paper and transported them to ships.
The ship immediately left the port and traveled fifty kilometers west to deliver the stone men to a desolate rocky beach on the Astapor peninsula.
Unsullied will quickly build a fully enclosed small courtyard out of masonry and wood.
Greyscale Quarantine.
After that, a virus research institute was built in the pyramid, and the researcher was Dany oneself.
However, before conducting research, she had to observe the behavior of viruses to determine that they could be killed by high temperatures.
To be precise, she wants to make sure that oneself is not afraid of being infected.
......
After handing the pier to Grey Worm, Dany immediately rode Little Green to Yunkai and Meereen, and personally ordered the pier to be blocked.
Yunkai has a "Wings of Freedom" of nearly 20,000 people, and Meereen has a guard of 15,000 people, fully capable of quickly carrying out the Dragon Queen's orders.
Under her orders, soldiers put on leather gloves, iron helmets, and face masks, searched every sea vessel strictly, and announced that Slaver's Bay was closed, and sea trade business was suspended from now on.
"The industrial and handicraft production in Slaver's Bay will not stop, I will buy everything."
Dany announced to the citizens of the two cities.
Even if the gold is used to pre-purchase food, she is not short of money.
Not to mention the millions of Golden Dragons that Earl Chainbreaker confiscated in the "Sons of the Harpy" case, Dany's Great Pyramid also has mountains of silver and jewelry!
As for Copper Coin...
Dragon Queen holds the right to issue currency, while Slaver's Bay has the largest copper mine in the world, and there are as many copper plates as you want.
...
Meereen's trade with Yunkai is not as prosperous as Astapor, and all quarantine work is done around evening.
After the raid, no stone men were found on the dock and the merchant ship.
But this doesn't mean that Yunkai and Meereen are safe, because according to the information from Hattur's torture, the spies arranged by the Allies are not set off at the same time.
Rhoyne Sorrows is home to the stone men.
It is said that the world originally did not have Grey Plague.
Two thousand years ago, after Valyria Dragonlord 300 dragons VSRhoynar 250,000 army, Mother Rhoyne launched a great flood that drowned the most gorgeous and rich city of Rhoynar, and drowned all the Valyrians in the city at the same time.
Not sure if the dragon was drowned, but the Valyrian also had a huge cavalry formation that wiped out the entire army.
Since then, Festival City has become the Sorrows covered with a layer of gray fog all day long, and the Forbidden Spell Magic of the mother river has brought the curse of the water system - Greyscale to the world.
Greyscale is relatively less contagious.
The villages on the Rhoyne plains, every year, every month, even every day all have Greyscale patients found - just like the Lands of Long Summer birth deformity Fiend after the cataclysm.
Those patients were either burned to death, or their loved ones couldn't bear it and sent them to Sorrows.
Each year, Valyrian also arranges fleets to transport large quantities of food to the Sorrows upstream.
Well, the patient also needs to eat before being completely petrified.
For example, Tyrion, Connington, eat less than normal every day.
As a result, Valyrian could easily hunt down thirty stone men in Sorrows.
—they can find more stone men if needed.
Hundreds of thousands!
The captured stone men are loaded onto ships and carried down the river in secret to Volantis.
I didn't go to the shore, taking advantage of the night, divided the stone men into three, stuffed them into the fleet full of goods, and then went to Slaver's Bay separately.
fleet three points, the spy who accepts the mission doesn't even know who oneself's companion is and which ship the stone men are on.
They only know oneself's mission: take stone men to Meereen, Yunkai, Astapor respectively.
That is, the Dragon Queen can't be sure if Meereen and Yunkai's spies have completed their mission.
Perhaps the stone men have been thrown into the city's public wells, and the spy has long since fled; perhaps, the spy's fleet is still floating at sea, on its way to Meereen and Yunkai.
Dany certainly hoped for the latter result, but...
After checking the dock, it was already evening, but Dany didn't rest and continued to stay up late to work - arrange for soldiers Conduct a citywide search.
Luckily, Yunkai didn't find a single Greyscale patient.
Very bad, 87 infected people were found in Meereen Commercial Street. According to the population statistics on the household registration, the infection rate is close to 3%.
Some patients even discovered symptoms of oneself three days ago, but they all kept it from being reported for fear of being burned to death.
This is not final data yet.
It is foreseeable that more residents will show symptoms of gray spots in the next few days, and the infection rate will further increase.
Undoubtedly, Meereen got caught!
The funny thing is that because Earl Chainbreaker arrested 80,000 people and sent them to labor camps outside the city, people in Meereen city were alarmed and businesses withered. Although the proportion of patients was high, the number of infected people was not too many.
Well, most of the infected are Ghis people, small and medium-sized businessmen who migrated from Yunkai to Meereen.
The wealthy households on the commercial street, with the surname Ghis, have been arrested and jailed a long time ago. The most prosperous streets are empty, with no merchants and no customers.
——The stone men are placed in public wells in the most prosperous neighborhoods.
The next morning.
Outside the city of Meereen, in a remote manor.
Dragon Queen rode on the back of the dragon and said to the desperate patients in the courtyard: "Don't be afraid, don't panic, I swear in the name of Queen, you are my people, no Abandon, don't give up on any of you."
Seeing that their faces are still ashen, their eyes are dim, and they are not lively because of the comfort of oneself, Dany sighed then said, adding:
"Yunkai's spy hasn't been caught yet, and I still have to study and cure diseases, so I don't have much time to come to Meereen. But from today, every three days, I will be here to have lunch with you."
Dany did what he said and set up a long wooden table in the hall at noon that day to share the same pot of food with a group of Greyscale patients.
The food wasn't too rich: browned baguettes, beef stew and potato soup, vegetable salad, hard-boiled eggs, milk.
Seeing Dragon Queen slurping down a bowl of broth, two arm-length breads, three boiled eggs, a big glass of milk... For some reason, those Ghis people suddenly I feel so at ease and warm.
Being a citizen of the Dragon Queen seems like a good idea too!
They think so.
...
After lunch, Dany didn't return to Astapor immediately.
Yunkai and Astapor are not affected by the epidemic, so her focus should be on Meereen at this time.
The Meereen City Lord Cleon had just been slapped by her, and was still recovering from his wounds in Astapor - whipping; Guards Commander Jon Bolton went to a meeting in Astapor and was on his way home.
Meereen is a little empty.
......
Great Pyramid, the top garden.
Swimming pool.
Under the water in the shallow blue pool, two pairs of equally slender and healthy legs are stepping on the water.
It's Dany and the redhead Knight, Lyra Umber.
The two of them were the only ones in the garden. They were busy again last night, and they didn't sleep or take a bath. At the moment they are stripped naked, lying by the pool and chatting casually.
"Your Majesty, the best way to prevent Greyscale is to deal with the patient immediately. They are all Ghis anyway, so it's better to kill and burn as usual." Lyra said solemnly.
At lunch, she did not accompany the Queen to the manor where the patients were isolated.
She was shocked and anxious to learn that Dragon Queen was eating with the patient.
"There's no need to be so extreme, just strict isolation. If you really want to kill them, there will be patients who will deliberately conceal their illnesses in the future, and even have the idea of revenge on society - you don't want to walk on the street one day, Was thrown down by a Greyscale patient and bit your bare foot?"
Lyra lifted her well-proportioned and slender legs out of the water and twisted her feet naughty a few times, saying: "Recently I have He has always been wearing iron armor and iron boots, but he can't bite."
Dany put a wet silk scarf on his face, lazily said: "There are always people who don't wear armor. And Greyscale is not helpless, I have Sorcerer's Lens, I also know that Stannis' daughter has antibodies in her body, and Maester Aemon's medical skills... ah, finally qualified!
In short, as long as it is my people, no matter what nationality, I will Do your best to save it. Isn't that what the Queen is supposed to do?"
"Whoa!" Lyra put her feet back in the water, and the turbulent waves stroked Dany's silver hair suspended in the water like seaweed.
"But you can't risk it either!" the red-haired Knight sighed.
"It's not an adventure, Greyscale is not a Grey Plague, and you won't be contagious if you don't touch it. And as soon as I came back, I used the torch to bake all over my body, killing all viruses."
Lyra also fell silent when she thought of the scene where the Dragon Queen was roasting oneself with fire.
Even she didn't think Greyscale's curse could withstand the fire.
There was a moment of silence, and Dany said, "I originally planned to make you the Lord of the Meereen City, but now things have changed. My big brother's son, Aegon, is here, you know?"
p>
"Little Prince Aegon? I've seen your letter to Jon." Lyra nodded and asked, "What's the matter? Are you sure he's real? Jon and I both think the baby change is too Legendary. , sounds a bit fake."
"Every evidence proves that his identity is true..." Dany moved in his heart, "Well, maybe, I can use Sorcerer's Lens to test it for him. A blood."
Lyra heard the Dragon Queen's unspoken implication and was surprised: "You plan to make little Prince the Lord of the Meereen City? Now that all the Greyscale patients in the city have not been found, the ten stone Men have not been found, and Meereen will be a battlefield in the future, will it be too dangerous?"
"Let's see if he has the courage, I won't force it. He still wants to compete for Iron Throne, Meereen is better than anything Is Westeros safe?" Dany said indifferently.
"Are you really going to cede the throne? Little Prince is unidentified... 10,000 steps back, he's just your nephew, not your son." Lyra frowned.
"The end of Long Night is king, this will not change, so Iron Throne is not necessarily mine."
If Aegon is really brave, he dares to go to the Wall and fight Others , what if Dany aunt gave him the priority of dueling the Others King?
As long as Aegon turns the Night King anal, she will actually support him on Iron Throne.
Iron Throne was devalued into a dung heap, and she didn't want to fight.
To be honest, the most valuable Westeros today is the Church of The Seven.
Dany had a vague idea a long time ago: The Seven is fake, but Faith of the Seven is real, and Half God can use belief strength, Big Black must be able to achieve half Divine Dragon - in fact he already is, so can Big Black occupy the magpie's nest?
The plan was done, and she earned it.
If the guess fails...
High Sparrow is in her sixties now, can she survive her?
Even if he escaped the hands of the Lust Queen and died normally, for a maximum of twenty years, is the Church of The Seven still not hers?
Dany stood up, droplets rolling down her curvaceous white body.
While wiping her hair, she said: "Lyra, close all public wells in the city, residents need to fetch water, they can go to the nearby pyramid. I have to go back to Astapor to see if my older nephew can hide. There is a catastrophe.”
There are wells dedicated to Great Masters inside the pyramids, and there are guards outside the pyramids, so spies will definitely not be able to sneak in and inject poison.
