"The Dragon Queen is angry! She's riding her dragon and robbing the alliance's capital. Two Volantis senators were burned, nearly three hundred nobles were devoured by the dragon's flames, countless nobles' mansions were plundered, and the losses were uncountable. Dukes of Terosi, please be careful. "
"The Dragon Queen set fire to the Hall of Bliss. 12 Princes and 35 nobles were slaughtered, tragic, tragic … Another 10 nobles' mansions were plundered. Eight Valleglia steel swords, one Sea Monster Horn, two Dragon Horns, several family heirlooms, countless jewels and books. Princes of Myr, please be careful, be careful, and be careful."
"The Dragon Queen has transformed into a Devil Dragon, specifically devouring the nobles of the Free Cities. As the saying goes, without the lips, the teeth are cold. Governors of Pentos, please be careful, and please reconsider joining the alliance."
"The Dragon Queen is tyrannical, angering both men and gods. Braavos, the head of the Nine Free City-States, please come out and uphold justice! Even if His Majesty the Sea King is unwilling to join the alliance because of the slave trade, please intercede on his behalf. Let the Faceless One give the alliance a 50% discount, or even 30%, it's too expensive … "
On the night of the attack, the people of Lith thought that they were an exception, but early the next morning, Volantis' messenger crows finally crossed two thousand kilometers and brought them a black message.
Well, it flew for one day and two nights, much slower than Danny's dragon.
Now the people of Lith understood that the Dragon Queen had gone mad, and was madly taking revenge on the alliance.
So, countless messenger crows began to fly to other trading cities. In a few days, the notoriety of "Mother Of Dragons, Danny Lith" spread across the continent of Ursos.
But this was a story for later.
As a super "social butterfly", Lynnis knew the situation of the nobles of Lith like the back of her hand. Who had Valleglia's swords, who had large diamonds, and strange treasures, she told Danny one by one. She even took out a map of Lith from her bedroom and marked it one by one.
Danny also returned the favor. Not only did she cooperate with the siblings to put on a show, she even let go of her backer, Prince Cui Ge.
At first, Henry had suggested that his sister become a black widow and use Danny to kill Cui Ge and his wife so that she could monopolize the Omoron family's wealth.
This way, they could also send dozens of longships back to the Westeros to save the old town.
But Linnis was unwilling. She said, "I wear gold and silver here, eat and drink well, and spend hundreds of thousands of gold radiance coins every year.
But I don't have the ability to manage the sea trade. Even if I get half of Cui Ge's family fortune, I won't be able to squander it for more than a few years. The prince is my lover, and also my long-term meal ticket!
As for going back to the old town with you to lead a hard life, don't even think about it. I've lived in heaven for a few years, and you want me to go back to hell? You might as well kill me. "
Humphrey blushed and stared at his sister in disbelief. For the first time, he realized that his family also had the Mad Blood Gene. It must be the side effect of the marriage with Targaryen.
His sister's madness was more terrifying than the Dragon Queen's.
As an admirer of the Fearless Barristan, it was normal for Knight Humphrey to have such thoughts. But Danny secretly praised Linnis for having self-awareness.
But she would grow old one day. What should she do when that time comes?
Look for the big bear to be the hero?
It seemed …
Together with the eight steel swords that Rhys had obtained, Danny had obtained a total of 20 swords during her trip to the west. It was a great harvest!
Other than the weapons and the precious jewelry that Linnis had been coveting for a long time, she also found two horns in Rhys's body. The fake Dragon's Horn and the broken Sea Monster's Horn.
The Dragon's Horn was as big as a bull's horn and was made of Valleglia steel. It was very light and did not feel heavy when hanging it around her waist.
If it was purely used as a marching horn for the army, the horn's sound would be loud and long, and it would be easy to blow it.
But calling it the "Dragon's Horn" was a bit boastful. It was not made of a dragon's horn, and there was no dragon soul sealed on it. How could she control the Megalosaurus?
But the Sea Monster's Horn was a bit interesting. It was made of a dragon's horn, but there was no dragon soul sealed. Or rather, there might have been a dragon soul once, but now the runes were broken and the dragon soul had dissipated.
Danny could also sense the mysterious Valleglia runes in it. As for the specific effects, it still needed to be studied.
Rhys was a narrow island that was nearly two hundred kilometers long. Danny found a cliff cave that was rarely visited by people and stuffed the jewelry, books, steel swords, and the fake Dragon's Horn into it. She put the Sea Monster's Horn in her backpack and carried it with her for research.
It was already late at night. The two wrapped themselves in blankets and leaned against Dahei to rest for the night. In the early morning of the second day, the sky was just beginning to brighten. They ate something casually and continued their journey to the west.
Well, they did not go north to Tyrossi and Myr.
They were able to successfully attack Volantis and Rhys all because of a "surprise". They crossed the heavily guarded city walls, descended from the sky, and went straight into the weak core of the other party's mansion.
No one would place a siege crossbow or ambush a large group of soldiers near the bedroom.
So they succeeded time and time again. But if the other party was alerted … First, valuable items such as Valleglia's steel sword would be hidden in an inconspicuous place that no one knew about. Then, they would ambush a large number of siege crossbows.
At that time, if Danny dared to ride a dragon and charge in, there was an 80% chance that she would not be able to return.
.....
Yang Halberd City, the capital of Dorne, was located at the easternmost tip of a sandy peninsula and was surrounded by the sea on three sides.
At around six o 'clock in the morning, they set off from Rhys. At around ten o' clock in the morning, the two dragons passed Yang Halberd City and flew another five kilometers to the west. They landed in a desert on the south bank of the Green Blood River.
Well, Dorne had the only large desert in the Westeros.
Although the entire Dorne territory was surrounded by the sea on three sides and there were two rivers that stretched thousands of miles in the territory, 80% of the land lacked water.
For example, the dark green river in front of them seemed to be four to five miles wide, but the flow was extremely slow. The river was so shallow that they could see the silt at the bottom of the river.
It was close to noon. The white sun shone brightly, and the yellow, scalding sand was sandwiched in the middle. It was as if one was in a steamer, steaming hot.
Well, the main thing was that the clothes were not suitable. The leather armor was not breathable. They should have paired it with the mail armor.
"Do you feel uncomfortable?" Danny tugged at the brown leather vest and asked the fully armored knight beside her.
"It's alright. I've been to Dorne many times and I've always worn the armor of the Kingsguard."
The old knight was not only fully armored, he also had a gray wool cloak that reached the ground.
The two of them walked along the river for more than a mile. After crossing a sand dune, they found a ferry on the wide river.
Seven or eight wooden rafts were parked by the river. More than ten children were playing by the water. On each raft was a woman with a sunburned face. Some of them were washing turnips and carps by the rafts, while others had already started a fire to cook.
It was a very strange wooden raft. A low-ceilinged house was built on the wide boat, like a matchbox in the middle of a phone.
It looked very simple, but the patterns on the boat were beautifully carved. It had an attractive and unique foreign charm.
"They are the 'Orphans of the Green Blood River'," Barristan said in a low voice.
After the defeat of the Loynar people, they were forced to leave the vast and rich plains of the Lorne River. Finally, under the leadership of Queen Nymeria, ten thousand broken ships crossed the narrow sea and integrated the last of the people into Dorne.
However, there were also proud Loynar people who were unwilling to give up their ancient river traditions. Due to the developed branches of the Lorne River and its wide basin, the Loynar people were used to living on the river boats.
Some of the Loynar people who fled regarded the Green Blood River as their mother river and still lived a carefree life on the river.
This group of Loynar people who could not integrate into Dorne were called the 'Orphans of the Green Blood River'.
It sounded a little pitiful, but in the Dorne Hill where there was an extreme lack of water, this group of 'orphans' lived the happiest lives.
"Where are the guests from?" Seeing Danny and the armored knight, a bearded man in a gray robe immediately came out of the 'matchbox' to solicit business.
"Don't ask me where I'm from. I'm going to Yang Halberd City on the other side," the white knight said in a skilled tone.
"Okay!" The bearded man shouted at the children swimming in the river, which roughly meant, "Goudan, Tiewa, come back for dinner."
When the two naked boys climbed onto the raft, Danny and Barristan also entered the 'matchbox' and sat down. The man then set up the pole and drove the raft slowly to the north bank.
As for the woman washing the vegetables behind the 'matchbox', she only smiled at Danny when she got on the boat and continued to do her work.
After half an hour, the raft finally reached the opposite bank. It was almost the same scene as before. Seven or eight rafts were anchored side by side on the bank. The women were cooking, the men were resting in the house, and the children were playing in the river.
"Their lives are too … lazy," Danny whispered to the old knight after paying the money and going ashore.
"This is their life, the customs of the river people brought over from the Norn River."
Sigh! No wonder they were eliminated.
It seemed that the main ethnic group of Westeros — the ancestors, the Andals, the Loynars — were all refugees eliminated in the Ursos ethnic struggle?
It was not easy for the Guise to keep Slaver's Bay.
Danny muttered in her heart.
Dorne's land area was close to 500,000 square kilometers, but its population was the smallest among the Seven Kingdoms. It was not even comparable to the North, which was less than half of Slaver's Bay.
However, Yang Halberd City was not desolate. Merchants from the Midsummer Islands, Myr, Terosi, and other city-states came and went. The natives of Yang Halberd City had olive skin and long black flowing hair. Most of them wore scarves or straw hats to block the sun.
It had to be said that the sun in Dorne was really strong. It felt like there was a magnifying glass above one's head. Danny also sold a wide-brimmed hat with gauze hanging down the edge.
Yang Halberd City, the sun and the halberd. The sun represented Nymeria's Loynar, and the original emblem of the Martell family was the halberd.
More than a thousand years ago, when Nymeria married Mors Martell and unified the entire Dorne territory, the new Martell family began to use the halberd that pierced through the sun as their emblem.
Hmm, if you think about it carefully, it's vivid and meaningful …
Yang Halberd City was brown in color. The brown gravel streets and brick houses were not as tall and clean as Volantis, nor were they as exquisite as Lys' gardens. The style was simple and monotonous, but it was very practical.
With Prince Martell's old palace as the center, it was surrounded by three curved walls. The streets and houses were in between the curved walls.
To use a common analogy, the layout of Yang Halberd City's walls and streets was somewhat like an Eight Trigrams Array.
Yes, the most simple Eight Trigrams Array that was copied after being extremely castrated.
However, it did have the effect of confusing people. If not for the experienced Barristan leading the way, Danny would have gotten lost in the circular streets that were almost exactly the same.
After more than an hour, they finally passed through the three curved walls and arrived at the administrative center of Yang Halberd City — outside the old palace.
