Chapter 58 Visitors from the other side of the world
The burning of the Temple of the Undying caused an uproar in Qarth as expected.
Even though Dany used a lie that no one could refute at the time to temporarily fool the matter, the negative comments about dragons and herself afterwards still fermented rapidly in the city.
"Although I don't like wizards at all, it is a temple that has existed for thousands of years. It was burned down by your dragons. Today you can burn down the Temple of Dust, and tomorrow it may just be a market, but who can be sure that the day after tomorrow will not be the great Temple of a Thousand Seats? Dragons are too dangerous and too uncontrollable. They should be killed immediately while they are still young." Someone with ulterior motives said this.
"But I heard that the immortals burned down their own broken houses. I think what the Mother of Dragons said makes sense. It is better to develop a few streets to collect rent than to leave it empty. Maybe the immortals have figured it out?" Some people also refuted.
"Whether it is the magic of the dragon or the immortals, it is dangerous to us. At least let the dragon leave Qarth."
The next afternoon, Xaro told Dany worriedly that Baiya was gathering wizards to harm her.
Dany immediately answered him: "I will leave Qarth the day after tomorrow morning."
Xaro lowered his head, forcibly took her little hand, kissed her fingers, and said affectionately: "You should leave, leave immediately, the sooner the better.
But my queen, you will not be alone.
You saw the dark scene in the Temple of Dust, but my dream was bright. I dreamed that on the warm and calm surface of the Jade Ocean, the cruise ship sailed slowly in the breeze.
You were lying happily on the soft couch, bathing in the sun, tasting delicious coconut juice, and smiling as you watched our children playing with seagulls on the deck."
Uh, you shameless dead Gay man, you really know how to fantasize.
"Alas, it's a pity that we are going to 'part ways'. You go to the Jade Sea in the east, and I ride my camel to the west. We may never see each other again!" Dany said teasingly, while secretly rubbing her hands on the blanket under her body.
"Come with me to the Jade Sea, give me a son, and make my dream come true, my lovely star of heaven!"
The merchant who looked like a bun spoke in the tone of a love saint, speaking the lines of the best young actors in romantic dramas.
This is more disgusting than saliva.
Saliva can be wiped clean quietly, but the words heard in the ears cannot be forgotten immediately. Not only can they not be forgotten, but they may become eternal memories and nightmares.
"Sorry, Xaro, you are a good person, but my goal is in the west." Dany said sadly.
This time, Xaro, who received the good guy card, immediately changed color.
He said in a deep voice, "Then go, leave quickly."
Dany was stunned for a while before she reacted to his sudden change of attitude and said, "I'm already packing my things and will leave the day after tomorrow."
"You are fickle and have played with my feelings." The merchant looked at Dany coldly, "Give me back my things."
Playing with your feelings, I didn't even keep you as a spare tire, and I rejected you directly every time?
Dany was very unhappy. She suppressed her anger and said in a muffled voice, "What? I didn't take any of your property privately."
She was determined in her heart: Don't tell me that your love has fallen on me, otherwise I will kick you twice before I feel sick to death.
Fortunately, the big merchant was more cruel and shameless than she thought.
"The magic amethyst, the ox cart, a thousand jade-carved toy soldiers, and Yi Ti silk that I gave you"
Xaro talked about everything for a full three minutes. Dany herself had forgotten many things, but he remembered them clearly.
Dani opened her mouth wide and was stunned for a long time before she realized that she had met a scumbag.
Even if a boyfriend and girlfriend broke up and wanted to divide the property, they would not be so mean.
They were not boyfriend and girlfriend, but the host gave the guest a gift, but after finding out that the guest was of no use, he immediately turned his face and asked for the gift back?
You shouldn't be called "Zaro", change it to "Zha Luo"!
Zha Luo should go to modern society, where there are many scumbags who like to keep spare tires. When the two meet, they will definitely create sparks of happiness.
Moreover, even the most powerful scumbag is far inferior to his level. After all the scumbags are defeated, the remaining men will be happy!
"Others are fine, but the silk has been made into clothes, how can I pay it back?" Dani said with difficulty.
"Don't you have money? Use Hui coins to pay it back." Zha Luo said coldly: "Starting tonight, you will prepare the food for those barbarians yourself, and the house will only stay for two days."
Fortunately, he didn't ask her for the board and lodging expenses for the previous ten days.
In the afternoon, Jorah took the centaurs to the market to buy supplies. Dany was free and placed an armchair in the fountain under the ginkgo tree in the courtyard. She lay comfortably on it, chewing on the crisp and sweet persimmons while enjoying the gentle "massage" between her calves and toes by the kissing fish.
"Alas, such corrupt days are getting fewer and fewer. From now on..."
Just as she was thinking about it, a sound of armor colliding came closer.
It was Jorah Mormont.
In order to avoid accidents in the next few days before leaving, he changed into the iron armor again.
"Your Highness, Illyrio sent someone to pick you up."
He looked serious and frowned. The unexpected guest did not make him more worried than happy.
"Illyrio? Pentos is a full Essos continent away from Qarth. How did he know I was here?" Dany asked in surprise.
"I don't know. They are waiting at the door of the mansion. You can ask them in person later." Jorah shook his head.
Dany did not let the guests in immediately. Instead, she was concerned about the knight's mood, "You don't seem to welcome them?"
"They came specifically for the dragon. If even Illyrio of Pentos knows that you have a dragon, then..."
After hesitating for a moment, Jorah said worriedly: "Pentos and King's Landing are separated by the sea. The Narrow Sea is not as vast as other oceans. It is only more than 500 kilometers wide. If people from Pentos can reach Qarth, then the assassins from King's Landing can also."
"That makes sense." Dany nodded, but her expression was not as heavy as Jorah thought.
She said slowly: "Our previous plan was to take the land route, go west to Astapor to buy a batch of Unsullied, and then head north. When everyone thought we would turn around the Slave Bay and continue west, we did the opposite, going east and retreating to the ancient trade route.
In the battle to defend the city, a thousand Unsullied are enough to resist an army of ten thousand, and the environment near White Cloud City cannot support an army of ten thousand in any way.
There are only our own people in White Cloud City. As long as the city gates are blocked, a hundred Faceless Men can't hurt me-they can't get in at all."
At this time, Dany, because she did not directly feel the miserable situation of the slaves, did not intend to take the risk of making a big news, let alone using deception to kill the Aposta slave owner like Daenerys in the original plot.
Attacking the city-states of Slaver's Bay and killing good masters are all fine, but you can't use deception, otherwise, no matter how noble the purpose is, the name of Daenerys Targaryen will be completely stinky in this world!
That bastard, Zha Luo, is so eager to get dragons that he never thought of breaking his promise and using coercive means on Dany.
He is obviously a gay, but he wronged himself to please Dany in every way. Think about it from another perspective. A straight tough guy flatters another strong man. Who can stand it?
The royal family of Qarth is the same. They only ask for gold and silver according to tradition, but they did not send camel riders to kill all of Dany and her group and then take away the dragon.
The royal family of Qarth is so greedy for gold and silver. Are three young dragons not worth a few thousand brilliant coins?
Obviously not.
The great wizard Baiya hates Dany to death, and he fanatically wants to get dragons, but his little tricks are still within the rules.
When the three dragon seekers, Bya, Zha Luo, and Queshi, invited Dany, they had automatically reached a universal credit relationship, or, as the Westerosi say, they established a guest relationship and enjoyed the rights of guests.
Even such people can keep their credit, so how can Dany be worse than them?
Therefore, Dany's plan at this time is very conservative, and she only wants to delay time and wait for the three dragons to grow up.
Jorah is definitely not the first confidant - he is far less loyal than the blood guards, but he is the first think tank.
Dany told him the outline of the plan, and the details of the plan were all controlled by him. He has much more experience in marching and fighting than Dany.
Alas, it's pitiful to say.
Jorah Mormont is at most Zhang Fei, but in the end she treated him as Zhuge Liang and used
"Princess, Illyrio sent three ocean-going ships." Jorah's voice drifted into her ears.
"He has learned all the details about us," Dany said sarcastically, "He can easily fit all my little Ka LS in there."
Jorah said faintly, "More than your Ka LS, he is a businessman. Merchants never do business at a loss. When the three large ships came, they were filled with specialties from the Western Continent, and when they left, they were also loaded with enough goods to make back the investment."
Dany heard that he had something else in his words.
"So?"
"Theoretically, you will become the temporary owner of the three ships." Jorah's eyes flashed, "We still have to go to Aposta, take a ship, and buy about 3,000 Unsullied, so that no one can easily hurt you anymore."
The persimmon in her hand was not bitten for a long time. The part that was bitten through the skin slowly turned brown in the air. Dany threw it far away under the wall and said thoughtfully, "Make a decision after meeting the person in charge."
She did not return to the stuffy hall, but asked Doria to put two more lounge chairs in the fountain pool and equip it with wine, water, and fruits.
After the two guests followed Ago into the courtyard, they saw a girl with her hair tied back, a painted vest on her upper body, loose silk shorts (similar to beach pants) on her lower body, and bare white jade feet. She stood by the water with a smile and extended her hand to invite them.
The heat in the air seemed to have dissipated mostly because of her.
The leader was a burly fat man, 1.9 meters tall, almost 2 meters tall, with dark brown skin.
Sweat made his bald head shine greasy. He only wore a tight studded leather vest on his upper body, and the sweaty yellow trouser pockets on his lower body were stained with obvious stains. An extremely long Arak scimitar was inserted at his waist.
Although he was fat, he was not obese. His arms were like thick oak trunks, and his belly was bulging but full of thickness.
