Danny decided to go to King's Landing three days later to see Cersei's Mimi.
Just as she was hesitating whether to send Whitey to be a bystander or send Blackie to chat with the people of King's Landing … about the Empress Dowager's health.
Marwin, who was chewing on a piece of sour grass, contacted her urgently.
Yes, it was Professor Marwin from the City of Knowledge. He, Black Sister Larissa, and the Fifth White Knight "Gray Iron" Garth Hyder were all on Old Town's grain purchasing fleet.
Every night, Danny had two fixed tasks. First, she would give Kui Xi a soul-cleansing True Dragon Roar. Then, she would use the glass candle to search for traces of Marwin, One-Eyed Faceless, and Jia Kun for three minutes.
As for the two Faceless, needless to say, Danny wished she could keep an eye on them at all times. It would be best if she could find all the Faceless strongholds.
As for Marwin, it was just a routine search. Most of the time, Danny could not find him because he was not online at all.
Marwin and Danny had an agreement. If there was an accident, he would activate the glass candle and contact her at a fixed time at night.
After all, Hyder's grain purchasing fleet had dozens of ships, three million gold royals, and the magic books that Old Town's Old Town had found in the City of Knowledge.
If they were robbed by pirates, the loss would be huge.
Her worries were not groundless.
The Stone Steps Archipelago was the world's most notorious pirate den. It was the entrance to the narrow sea, which fed pirates from all over the world.
Even Tiemin often went to the Stone Steps Archipelago to train his pirate skills.
For example, You Lun had been a pirate on the Stone Steps Archipelago when you were young. Asha Greyjoy had also been on the Stone Steps Archipelago for three to five years.
As soon as Hyder's fleet left the Summer Sea, they were targeted by pirates.
In Old Town, Old Town's Old Town negotiated the price with the grain merchant on the other side of the narrow sea and confirmed the quantity of grain.
Then, the grain purchasing fleet would transport the gold over. The grain merchant would then start to distribute the grain from the small merchants and farm owners.
Once Hyder's gold was transported to Myr and Pentos, the trading princes of Myr and Pentos would also transfer the grain to the port. It was just in time to fulfill the last part of the contract in Myr and Pentos: one hand for the money, one hand for the goods.
In other words, the news of Haithar transporting gold to the trading city-states had long spread throughout the narrow sea. Even the people of Braavos in the north knew about it. In fact, Haithar's large-scale purchase of grain had caused the price of grain to skyrocket by five times.
.....
During the day, Danny's spiritual projection and Gero were in Braavos. During the evening, Danny's spiritual projection and Barristan were on Dragonstone Island. At midnight, Danny's spiritual projection crossed six thousand kilometers through the glass candle and arrived at the captain's cabin of the White Tower at the entrance of the narrow sea.
Just like what Danny had said to Stannis that day: Unlike some kings who had too much time on their hands and could only grind their teeth to pass the time, the Dragon Queen was really busy!
"What's the situation?" Danny's voice was erratic, like a mobile phone with bad signal.
It was not just her voice. Even her spiritual projection was a blurry silver-gray figure. It was like a 150-inch 8K LCD screen playing a low-resolution VCD.
This was because the distance was too far.
Danny had announced that she had gone to Braavos, but her real body had been hiding in Slave's Bay to comprehend the Song of Wind.
There were only three people in the small captain's cabin. The bull-neck Marvin, the embarrassed White Knight Garth Hyder, and the magic apprentice Larissa.
Marvin and Garth looked at each other. In the end, the White Knight stepped forward and bowed. He said, "One day after leaving Sun Halberd City, there was a fast paddling ship following behind us.
It was just that Hyder's fleet was too large for the pirates to handle, so they did not attack immediately. When the fleet gets close to Broken Arm Corner, more and more pirates will surround us. There will definitely be a huge battle. "
"How many ships do you have? How many sailors do you have?" Danny asked.
"More than a hundred. Most of them are flat-bottomed sailing ships with a capacity of 200 tons. They are coastal cargo ships. The number of longships and warships with hammers does not exceed ten. The number of sailors is less than two thousand," the second son of the Hyder family said.
"If I came to save you, there would be no way to hide the fact that Count Hyder has sided with me," Danny said with a smile.
On one hand, the old man of Oldtown sought refuge with the Dragon Queen to ensure the future prosperity of his family. On the other hand, he was unwilling to immediately raise his flag against the Iron Throne, especially since his lord, Highcourt Tyrell, was on the side of Lannister.
"This …" Garth remembered his father's request and could not help but lower his head in shame. He blushed and said, "My father has considered this. He, he … he asked you to pretend to be a pirate and hijack this fleet."
"What?" Danny suspected that she was hearing things. She said uncertainly, "You asked me to rob you as a pirate?"
"Gray Iron" Garth's face turned as red as Monkey's butt. He mumbled, "Your Majesty, you did not hear wrongly. Everyone in the world knows that the Hyder family has ordered three million gold royals worth of food from the Free City. So, the pirates of the narrow sea swarmed over, intending to rob the ships of the gold royals. When you knew about this, you also … "
"Ah, I'm sorry." Garth could not continue. He closed his eyes and apologized awkwardly. "Your Majesty, I'm very sorry. My father, he … even if he did not meet the pirates at the Stone Steps Archipelago, he would have asked you to stop the fleet at Blackwater Bay."
"Alright, I understand." Danny ended her knight's embarrassing situation at the right time and comforted him. "You don't have to apologize. Count Hyder is only protecting the peace of Old Town and the hundreds of thousands of people in Hyder's territory from being affected by the war."
"Your Majesty …" Garth's blue eyes widened. He was very touched.
.....
Ten thousand years ago, at the end of the First Era, there was a land bridge known as the "Arm of Dorne" that connected the Westeros' Dorne and the disputed land of Ursos together.
When the ancestors invaded the Westeros through the Wall of Dorne, the Green Prophet of the Children of the Forest joined forces to cast powerful magic. They shattered the land bridge, which was hundreds of kilometers wide and thousands of kilometers long, into countless islands of different sizes, which became the Stone Steps Archipelago today.
The Stone Steps Archipelago was located at the entrance of the narrow sea. Half of the world's sea trade ships would pass through here.
With such a golden route, even Valleglia occupied one of the islands and built a free fortress — Terosi.
One of the islands was called the "Torture Abyss". It might not be the largest island, but it had a port comparable to Terosi's.
It was a hot afternoon at the Torture Abyss port.
Blue sky, white clouds, and a warm northeast wind.
Waves came from the shore, wave after wave, gently buffering the hull of the ship that was painted with a new brown paint.
"Woo woo woo —" The bugle horn sounded at the port. The sailors busied themselves in the sun. Some twisted the lock and pulled the anchor out of the sea. Some sailors pulled up the white sails under the command of the first mate. Thousands of rowers put their oars into the sea and paddled the wooden oars rhythmically to the beat of the drums.
Ten gigantic warships lined up at the port. The white sails were pulled up slowly, and they slowly sailed toward the vast sea outside the port.
"Hiss —" Suddenly, a dragon's roar shook the sky.
Then, the sailors on the deck felt a shadow slide over their heads.
They looked up and saw a black dragon with a wingspan of more than ten meters emerging from the white clouds. It flew over the heads of the ten gigantic warships one by one.
"Ahhh, Dragon, Magic Dragon!!" The sailors screamed crazily. It was unknown whether it was excitement, fear, or both.
"The Mother Of Dragons is here! Quick, quick, set up the ballista … "A captain on the bridge shouted hurriedly.
Seeing that his subordinates were still greedily looking up at the Megalosaurus, he stomped his feet anxiously and scolded, "What are you all doing? We're pirates. Someone like the Mother Of Dragons won't even let a slave owner go. Why would she come here to look at the scenery? She's probably here to get rid of a scourge for the people. We're the 'scourge'! "
"Woo woo woo —" Just then, a slow and drawn-out bugle call came from the flagship, followed by flag signal, "Do not act rashly, and do not do anything hostile!"
"I am the eldest son of the Mother Dragon, Danny Rize!" The black dragon's voice was loud, like a clap of thunder. It made the pirates below dizzy.
"Ah — a dragon, can speak?!" The pirates were stunned.
"I am the Holy Light, I am the Mighty Dragon of Heaven, I am …"
Blackie's title was now longer than his mother's. He spoke a long sentence in a dignified manner, not caring if the people below remembered it.
"Is the pirate leader below Orion Vishui?" Blackie the Sky Dragon began to get to the point.
At this time, the warships that were preparing to leave the bay had stopped moving. When the rowers heard the Megalosaurus' voice, they put down their long oars and climbed out of their cabins to the deck, looking up in surprise.
"I am Orion Vishui, the great Megalosaurus of the Holy Light, the Mighty Dragon of Heaven. I am willing to serve Her Majesty Danny Rize. I am the illegitimate child of Tidehead Island. My father was the previous Count Valerian. I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Targaryen!"
On the bridge of the flagship, a young man with shoulder-length silver hair waved his arms wildly at the sky as he shouted loudly.
Without waiting for Blackie to say the purpose of this trip, the illegitimate child of Tidehead Island raised his hands in surrender.
Even the Dragon Queen in Blackie's mind stopped working and was stunned.
On the day they left the Wall, Danny had spent a night on Tidehead Island. During that time, apart from talking about her experience on the Wall, she also had a short conversation with the young Count Monterey.
Monterey told the Dragon Queen that he was not the only son of Valerian. He had an adult illegitimate uncle, Orion Vishui, who was leading Cersei's galleons as a pirate on the Stonestep Archipelago. He called himself the "Vishui King".
He also asked the Dragon Queen if she wanted to call the illegitimate uncle back to serve her.
Danny declined at the time. She felt that the illegitimate child of Tidehead Island had a terrible character and looked down on him.
For the sake of ten galleons, she did not want to disgust herself by having a scum who had betrayed his former master.
Cersei had promoted him from an illegitimate child without a title to the Lord of the Navy.
However, Orion had stabbed her in the back when she needed him the most. Not only did he fail to rescue Cersei, who was trapped in the Cathedral, he even led the royal fleet to escape.
Even if Cersei was her enemy, Danny could not like a subordinate who had betrayed his master.
Just like how the arrogant Zhuge Kongming looked down on Wei Yan.
However, the law of fragrance was just that powerful.
Look, it had only been a week, and she was already anxiously looking for him.
A week ago, the Dragon Queen: Traitor, scram! Don't sully my eyes.
A week later, the Dragon Queen: How fragrant!
It was really fragrant. The Dragon Queen did not even need to personally appear. Her new subordinate easily completed the task of cleaning up the pirates and hijacking Hyder's fleet.
After obtaining Cersei's ten super warships, Orion was practically the strongest pirate on the Stonestep Archipelago. He had originally planned to rob Hyder's fleet.
He had even contacted a group of pirates nearby and arranged a time and place for the robbery.
Two days later, a terrifying piece of news gradually spread from the Stonestep Archipelago to the various cities. The newly risen pirate "Dimensional Water King" of the Torture Pool had submitted to the Dragon Queen. With the help of "Wings of Death", he had swept through ten nearby islands in a day. (Dimensional Water King had originally teamed up with his allies to rob Hyder's fleet.)
The Dragon Queen had become the greatest pirate king on the Stonestep Archipelago.
