Chapter 603
Bloody Flux is a highly contagious plague.
Infected people will experience symptoms such as high fever, intestinal bleeding, and diarrhea.
The way it spreads and the symptoms are a bit like the flu, it doesn't sound serious.
But in this era when the medical level is still in the blood-sucking leech, Bloody Flux even surpassed Grey Plague to become the most notorious infectious disease.
——Blood Flux and Grey Plague are both incurable, Grey Plague has a mortality rate of almost 100%, while Bloody Flux is only 1/4/2022.
But Bloody Flux is more contagious, can spread silently through the air, and is more prone to the source of the disease.
For example, the slum area of King's Landing Pisswater Bend is often noisy with Bloody Flux.
It's also sad to say.
Bloody Flux has appeared frequently since human history. Before the first Long Night, the First Men had not crossed the Dorne arm and entered Westeros, and Bloody Flux had already appeared.
However, after more than 10,000 years, human beings still have not invented effective treatment methods.
Bloody Flux is not as "rare" as Grey Plague, it is often found in areas with large populations and poor sanitation.
For example, the city slum area.
For example, in a large marching force.
Bhorash was originally similar to Volantis, the colonial city-state of Valyria in Slaver's Bay.
After the cataclysm, without the absolute strength of Dragonlord to deter, Bhorash, who faced the threat of horse men in the northern prairie, could not help but collapse.
At this time, Bhorash was just a ruined city, with no sewer system and no street garbage cleaning system, but more than 100,000 military horses gathered, so the hygiene and safety can be imagined.
And the disease is often not identified when the first patient appears.
The less severe the symptoms of the disease, the slower it will be detected.
If it were as terrifying as Ebola, the patient would be diagnosed within a day.
Such as Greyscale, Grey Plague, have obvious petrified skin, and it is easy to identify.
However, the symptoms of Bloody Flux are similar to those of a cold and diarrhea. If you have the disease, you cannot find it, and it can last for a long time.
This led to the fact that by the time the outbreak was identified, it had already spread uncontrollably.
Thinking about the actual epidemic situation, the Chinese people are so swift and swift, the whole city is still quarantined.
This "fantastic Middle Ages" with chaotic organization and low medical technology can be imagined how efficient it can be.
Dragon Queen got the news and immediately convened several Skinchangers to conduct a detailed investigation of Bhorash's situation on the grounds of "determining the harm of the Allied Bloody Flux to us".
The Khalasar of Jhaqo is the focus of the search.
Unfortunately, Dany's "old friends" are suddenly missing two.
Jhaqo and his wife Lilith are dying in Bloody Flux, and even Jhaqo's Khalasar is scattered.
The day Drogo died, his Khalasar collapsed.
What happened today is almost a repeat of yesterday.
Even, Jhaqo's choice was exactly the same as Dany's. After confirming that oneself couldn't survive this Bloody Flux, he immediately arranged for oneself's Bloodridder and Khas to take their son Jango and daughter Grisse to run.
Khal's screamer was the most loyal warrior when Khal was alive, but when Khal was about to die, only Bloodridder and oneself's Khas were left to be trusted.
Well, Khalasar is composed of many Khas, the Commander of Khas is the bandit, Khal is the leader of the bandits, and he also has oneself Khas.
as the saying goes well, Heavenly Dao is good reincarnation, who the heaven spares!
Bloody Flux is different from Grey Plague, and the mortality rate is only 25%. If handled properly, the true mortality rate may be lower.
That is to say, the Khalasar with 15,000 screamers in Jhaqo will probably survive 12,000 people.
Khal is dying, Khal's son is young, but Khalasar still has 12,000 screamers, what will happen next?
Jhaqo seized part of Drogo Khalasar's power as a pirate that day, promoted Khal, and then led oneself's newly formed Khalasar to hunt down Drogo's son.
At this time, Khas Kou of Jhaqo also divided up his ten thousand screamers and became new Khals. Five new Khals led their respective Khalasars to hunt down Jhaqo's son Jango.
Old Aemon gathered up the horse men-related information he had received these days, and after analyzing it, told Dany:
“Jango is less than four years old this year, but he is very young. Surrender the war horse that belongs to oneself.
You know better than me what this means. In Dothraki, horse men with war horses are respected by others.
Just half a year ago, Khal Jhaqo and Khal Moro allied on the banks of Selhoru, ready to join forces to sack Selhorys of Volantis.
At the banquet, Jango, son of Jaqen, and Modo, the youngest son of Moro, wrestled for the two Khals.
The seven-year-old Modo simply lost to the three-year-old Jango.
Modo was beaten until his nose was bruised.
After that, Jango also won the horses, bows, and machetes in a row. The championship.
That time, Jango completely defeated Modo and won the third bell for oneself. The first two were for subduing wild horses and hunting coyotes.
At that time, Khal Moro was Exclaimed, this child is not Stallion Who Mounts the World?
And because of this, Jhaqo died, and the Kou under his command would never let his son Jango go!"
"Whoops , why is that kid so unlucky!" Dany cried out worriedly.
Aemon was stunned for a while, that's not your son, why are you excited?
Thinking of Dragon Queen's pitiful experience of "being a widow and being alone", the old man immediately felt relieved.
Also relieved, but also sad for Dany.
"Ai, Dany, you're still young, and..."
Dany didn't have time to deal with old Aemon's consolation, and immediately notified Skinchanger to search for the location of Jhaqo Bloodrider, She rode the Big Black and headed to Meereen as fast as she could.
Two and a half hours later, Big Black landed at the Meereen Great Pyramid.
I found Morna White Mask for questioning, but the other party said embarrassingly: "The time is too short, with a radius of several hundred kilometers, two ravens and two falcons are all released, and it is impossible to release them all in two days. Search again."
Because of the Battle of Meereen, and because of the Dragon Queen's repeated dragon rides, Khalasar on the northern steppe was driven westward.
At this time, from Bhorash to the thousand-mile plains of the Dothraki Great Grass Sea, there are teams of horse men everywhere.
As a result, Skinchanger's animal companions can't be found on the fly, and must be carefully identified.
But two days are enough for "Jango" to die twice.
Last time in the Red Waste, Drogo's Bloodridder Cohollo guard "Rhaego" escaped Vaes Dothrak and was besieged in just one day.
You must know that Cohollo leads the most powerful five hundred screamers under Drogo!
"Any way to find them fast?" Dany frowned.
I don't blame her for cramming.
After the second dragon battle, Dany instructed Morna to arrange for raven companions to go to the Great Grass Sea to find Khalasar of Jhaqo.
After searching for more than a month, Jhaqo's huge Khalasar has never been heard from.
There are two main reasons. First of all, Morna is Wildlings. She does not understand the customs of horse men, nor the language of horse men. She can't tell the appearance of horse men. Class flag, do not go up and ask, do not know who is the Khal of Khalasar.
Even though Big Black painted Morna a portrait of Jhaqo and Lilith - as in Chinese eyes, gringos look alike - in Wildlings Morna's eyes, bronze skin, long Braids, horse men with almond eyes are no different.
She even often confuses Rakharo with Quaro, just because Aggo runs the militia and wears the leather armor of the Mother of Dragons Guard; Jhogo Commander Khalasar, wears the Dothraki vest; and Quaro likes to wear armor, Rakharo stays Acting as a facade beside the Dragon Queen, forced to wear the same iron armor as Quaro, or chainmail.
In order to gain information from the horse men's conversation, Morna, who is about to become a grandmother, has to work hard to learn the language of the horse men.
In fact, a big problem with Skinchanger spies is language and text.
Even though Morna's Skinchanger innate talent is the strongest, Dragon Queen only arranges her to visit Meereen and let Grisella, the "goat" with the worst innate talent, go to Astapor Crow's Nest as a spy.
Why?
Only because neither Morna White Mask nor "Wild Boar" Borroq understand Valyria.
Morna speaks Old, Borroq can only speak Common (Westeros Common).
It was "goat" Grisella, who often used goats to drag goods to trade with Braavos merchants when they were beyond the wall, and learned arithmetic, writing and Braavos language (the local Valyria language, like a Sichuan accent) Mandarin).
In order to make the Skinchanger spies work better, Dany also arranged for scholars to get a "literacy training class".
digressed.
In addition to language and face blindness, Morna's search is slow, and Jhaqo has been hiding from Dragon Queen.
Others don't know, Jhaqo oneself doesn't understand how deep the blood feud with Dragon Queen is?
——He cut off the head of Dragon Queen's son with his own hands, strung the head on a stalk, and brought it to her for all kinds of provocations.
Jhaqo will of course participate in the Battle of Meereen and use the power of the Allies to destroy the Dragon Queen, but before the battle, he has to avoid the Dragon Queen.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing with Jhaqo's Bloodrider? Jhaqo is already dead, and even if he escapes the pursuit this time, the Bloodrider will commit suicide. Khal is dead, and the Bloodrider will not live alone." Morna wondered. .
"I swore I would kill Mago and avenge my maid Eroeh," Dany said.
"Mago...which one?" Morna asked blankly.
horse men like to call this "Ge", that "Ge", Aggo, Haggo, Jhogo, Jango, Rhaego, Drogo, Mago... Wildlings Spearwife's head goes up Big fight.
"Ai, things are a bit complicated, you go ask Ser Mormont, or my Bloodrider." Dany was restless, didn't want to waste time and continued to perfunctory, waved his hand, and was ready to leave.
At this point, she no longer expects any help and advice from Morna.
But I don't want Wildlings Spearwife thinking about Queen's previous problems.
"Actually, the prediction is the fastest." Morna said.
Dany paused, turned around and said happily: "You can prophesy?"
"I will, but this is not Old Gods territory, useless. Slaver's Bay believes in The Seven , Your Majesty you can pray to The Seven," Morna said.
"You take someone to continue looking." Dany climbed up Big Black's back with a dark face.
But just as she faced the noon sun and rose into the sky, a long-standing memory struck her in a flash.
The house of memory, which has been washed away by the years, opens its doors to Dany again.
That's in Qarth, in the House of the Undying where the River of Time segment freezes.
She encountered many doors, opened them, and saw many past, present, and future events.
She saw Mad King ordered the burning of King's Landing, saw Robb's sad eyes in Red Wedding, saw four rats surrounded a beautiful woman named "Westeros" violently assaulted, saw ...
She once opened a peculiar door...it wasn't a door, it was a simple old cowhide convertible curtain. (Chapter 54)
Opening the curtain, she saw a vast expanse of grassland, the Dothraki Sea.
A river meanders like a silver streamer, and a tall horse carries two children along the bank...
"Bless the Seven, that is Rhaego and...Lilith's daughter Grisse!" Dany realized.
