After that, the old widow asked Danny some detailed questions, such as the Dragon Queen's character, the intentions of some of her policies, the current situation in Slave's Bay, and the strategy to deal with the allied forces …
As long as it was about the public information in Slave's Bay, Danny answered in detail. She also made it clear that she didn't know about some private matters that normal people wouldn't know.
The widow got a lot of useful information from her, and she also understood the widow's character from their conversation.
The Waterside Widow was very realistic. She did have a strong inclination to abolish slavery, and she didn't even hide her hope for the Dragon Queen to liberate Volantis.
But her goal was completely different from Danny's. Danny simply wanted to liberate the suffering slaves. The "whore of Wagaro" and the slaves were already two different classes. She only cared about whether she could "go one step further" and obtain an increase in status from the slave liberation movement.
Danny didn't feel indignant about this. She didn't even think that there was a problem with the other party's way of thinking.
The two chatted for more than an hour, and they only ended their conversation when the maid came to tell them that the shadow binder had returned from the east side of the city.
The Waterside Widow arranged a small alcove for Danny and the shadow binder to talk.
Before she left, she even asked the maid to wrap a paper bag of fried grasshoppers and gave it to Danny.
"Lisbon is dead. He was murdered by the New Second Sons." The shadow binder's voice was cold. It was obvious that she was very angry.
"New Second Sons? The illegitimate son of Braavos's illegitimate son, Zidane? "Danny was surprised.
The New Second Sons was much luckier than the Wind Blowing Group. At the end of the Battle of Yuankai, they rushed into the city with the Gith cavalry. After discovering that they were ambushed, they didn't resist like the Wind Blowing Group did.
Danny also didn't target the New Second Sons because the "illegitimate son of Titan" had insulted her. She was too busy at that time and didn't have the energy to care about those small fries.
Of course, the New Second Sons was newly formed and had a weak foundation. They didn't have the money to pay the ransom, so Danny threw them into the labor camp to farm.
But when Danzo of the Wind Blowing Group came to redeem his own members, he also paid the ransom of the New Second Sons and the small mercenary groups.
The Xingis people paid for it.
"It has nothing to do with Zidane." The Shadow Binding Knight shook his head and sighed. "Did you see the recruitment point outside the door? All the mercenary groups were expanding. The new Second Son Mercenary Group now had 1500 members, which was three times the previous number.
Although mercenaries were not trustworthy, at least the leader could manage his subordinates well. Now, he had completely lost control.
Lisbon died on Sweetwater Street, where people came and went, so he was discovered immediately — the body was still warm. The Tiger Cloak Army asked the passersby a few questions and they roughly knew who the murderer was.
After I went to look for them, Zidane immediately gathered his subordinates and found that nearly a hundred people were missing. Excluding those who were fooling around in hiding, at least 20 mercenaries had escaped. "
"What's up with the Dragon Incubator Mages?"
"There are three archons in Volantis, and they also think that the cooperation of multiple mages is the best choice. There is no limit to the number of mages, but there are only three commanders. Apart from me, there is also a necromancer and a Black Goat Blood Priest. "
"You're looking for me …" Danny hesitated. "I'm afraid I can't help you!"
She somewhat understood the current situation. There were three big shots in the mages' group, and they each occupied a mountain. The Fire Mage Lisbon was originally a subordinate of the Shadow Binding Knight.
The Extraordinary's gathering last night was most likely the Shadow Binding Knight selecting a new batch of subordinates to test the quality of this group of "rogue cultivators."
Just like the mercenary group, the three big shots in the Dragon Incubator Mages were also crazily recruiting people.
As the recognized number one genius of the younger generation in the Western Continent, and having received the inheritance of Valleglia's witchcraft, Lisbon was undoubtedly a great help to Tam.
However, he died in a cowardly manner. The Shadow Binding Knight was a little weak, so he prepared to recruit "Priest Leila" into his group.
"You are talented, more talented than Lisbon, and you also received the inheritance token of Valleglia from him. Your future will not be worse than his."
Was this a compliment?
No matter who it was, their future would not be worse than that bastard's!
"By the way, I heard that the Red Priest can revive people." Danny's eyes lit up, and she suggested, "We can ask the Red Priest to revive Lisbon."
The Shadow Binding Knight shook his head. "Impossible. Lisbon is not someone that Lahlo needs."
"You don't want to participate in this gathering?" The eyes behind the red mask were filled with doubt. "Let's not talk about the reward first. At least you can learn a lot of mystical knowledge. I thought you were very interested in the world of Extraordinary."
"Of course I want to learn witchcraft, but …" Danny was expectant and hesitant. She asked, "Are there many Extraordinary people in the mages' group? I'm not a native of Volantis, and I won't stay here for long. "
The Shadow Binding Knight did not force her. He thought for a while and said, "How about this? Tonight, Malachor will receive the mages' group at the Cloud Tower. You can come with me and have a look. There's also a chance to see the dragon egg. After that, you can decide whether to stay or not."
"Okay." This time, Danny did not hesitate and agreed.
Then, the two of them talked for a while about the future career plans of "Priest Leila." It was not long, only about ten minutes.
After they agreed on a time and place, Tam got up and left.
"I'll have to postpone my departure from Volantis for a night." Danny did not leave the small alcove in the stone wall of the west hall. Instead, she pulled White Knight in and talked about the banquet at the Cloud Tower.
Well, Danny had just noticed that there were many similar alcoves in the four walls of the public rest area. Potted vines covered half of the doors, which were similar to the private rooms in modern hotels. However, from the alcoves, one could see the situation in the hall clearly. It was very suitable for sea merchants to talk about business in private.
Well, killing and robbing would have to be discussed in the basement under the rockery.
White Knight was worried. "Won't it be too dangerous for you to enter the black wall alone? Too many people have seen you. Those Volantis merchants who went to Astapor to buy goods, the mercenaries who were captured and ransomed, the slave owners of Gith … "
"Haha, don't worry." Danny waved her hand and asked with a smile, "Do you know what Kui Xi looks like and what Tam looks like?"
"Uh …" The old knight was stunned. When he came back to his senses, his mouth twitched. "Are you going to become a Shadow Binding Knight?"
Dani laughed and said, "Why not? Everyone knows that the Seven Gods Priestess has no future, and 'Priestess Leila' yearns for mysterious power.
Shadow Binding Knight is the most powerful and mysterious extraordinary class. What's wrong with me wanting to become a Shadow Binding Knight?
Tam even praised me for having good taste. She promised that whether I join the Mage Group or not, she will introduce me to a few devils. "
"Introduce you to a few … devils?" White Knight's eyes widened.
"Yes, the devils' real names and portraits. They are considered evil gods." Danny nodded and said with a complicated expression, "The east is further away than the Shadow Land. It is shrouded in darkness all year round. It is said that that place is connected to hell.
Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, many devils have been born there. They have real power. Mortals can get their response through blood sacrifice and prayer. "
"Do you really intend to —"
She raised her hand to interrupt him and laughed coldly. "I intend to bring the dragons to visit them one by one when I am tired of living. I will kill them all and feed them to the dragons!"
"Uh …" The old knight's face twisted. He did not know what to say.
He was worried that the queen would be tempted by power and worship evil gods. He did not expect the queen to be so fierce … He could not stop her. She had said clearly that she would wait until she was tired of living.
Sigh, I would have been dead for many years by then. Let the other white knights worry about it!
The old man sighed in his heart.
"Right, there is something that requires you to leave the city." Danny suddenly smiled slyly and whispered to the old knight.
"I am not that kind of person. I am not used to it … Alright! I am a little used to it. "The old man's expression changed a few times as if he had accepted his fate. He sighed and got up to leave.
Then, Danny called the waiter over to settle the bill and entered the hall. Just as she was about to go upstairs to rest, someone called her.
"Priestess Leila. Hey, wait, Priestess Leila!"
When she turned around and saw who it was, Danny was amused. She greeted him with a smile, "Wizard Pogba. Are your injuries better?"
"I am used to it." The skinny Fire Wizard supported himself with a walking stick. His legs were wide apart as he walked in strange steps.
With every step he took, his monkey face would twitch, as if he was enduring an unbearable pain in his life.
Danny pulled him to an empty table and sat him down. Then, she opened the paper bag and said, "Fried grasshopper, high protein … Sigh, it is good for your body. It tastes good too. Try it."
The skinny man looked over and frowned. "It is too oily. Also, I can't eat meat."
"Why? Did the doctor tell you to? "Danny asked, puzzled.
"I am on a diet."
"On what?" Danny widened her eyes and looked him up and down. The Monkey's skeleton was covered in a layer of human skin.
"What fat do you have to lose?" she said with a grin.
"Sigh, Priestess Leila, you don't understand. Wizards like us who practice Fire Escape have to reduce our body weight as much as possible. Did you see it last night? If I were seven or eight kilograms lighter, I would not have fallen. "
If you were seven or eight kilograms lighter, you would be blown up by a gust of wind even without Fire Escape.
"Must it be like this? Can't I increase my magic power? "Danny asked.
"Fat is easy to lose, but magic power is hard to find!" The skinny man looked at the sky at a 45-degree angle and lamented.
"Oh, right. This box of Ice Skin Jade Cream is for you. Thank you for paying to treat my injuries last night."
The skinny man leaned his walking stick against the table. His right hand struggled to take out an ebony box the size of a spectacle box from the cloth belt hanging on his waist. He put it in front of Danny and explained, "I often get burned, but I am never afraid because I have this miracle medicine for burns. I heard that Priestess Leila and Lisbon … Sigh, poor guy. There are too many wild mercenaries in Volantis. "
"If Priestess Leila practices Fire Witchcraft, she will often encounter situations similar to mine."
Although you are reminding me out of kindness, it is more like a curse to me. The Mother Of Dragons will not be as miserable as you.
Danny complained in her heart, but she still took the box.
She looked at him carefully. There were indeed many layers of bright wrinkles on the skinny man's skin. The treatment didn't leave no traces, but considering the severity of the skinny man's injury, this kind of effect could be considered magical.
"What are your plans for the future?" she asked.
"That's it."
"I heard that the Blackwall nobles formed a Dragon Hatching Wizard Legion."
The skinny man suddenly understood and shook his head with a bitter smile. "I am not qualified."
Danny rolled her eyes and said, "Are you familiar with Wizard Wood?"
