Danny's eyes twinkled as she asked, "Captain, how far will it take to travel from Queers to King's Landing? How much time will it take? "
The black captain thought that she was planning to return to the Westeros on his Laurel Wind. He thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, you have to understand that we are businessmen and cannot return directly to King's Landing. We may stop at Slave Bay and Free Trade Castle many times along the way.
We will sell the goods from the Far East at a high price and consume the local products at a low price. Then we will go to the next city and repeat the process.
This way, the profits of the businessmen will snowball.
Therefore, returning to King's Landing from Queers may take up to a year and a half.
Also, Queers is not my destination. My ship will pass through Queers Strait and follow the trade route around the Jade Sea. This way, the delay will be even longer. The next time I go to the Sunset Sea will probably be three years later.
Well, if I don't die at sea. "
"If you don't do business and speed up all the way to King's Landing, how long will it take?" Danny asked.
"Even if you don't do business and run empty, you will still need to replenish food and water along the way. You also need to let the sailors rest. It will take at least three to four months, and this is assuming that the sea doesn't lose its temper."
Danny nodded and thanked him, "You have brought me valuable information. I wish you a safe journey and a prosperous business."
"I should be the one thanking you. Your Highness has given me the most generous reward." The captain's eyes lit up.
"Oh, what reward?" Danny asked.
"Dragons!" He looked straight at the dragons gnawing on bones beside Danny. "I saw a real dragon. This is the miracle of my life."
"I will repay you even more." Danny smiled and waved at him. "Come and touch them."
"This …" Kuhulu was surprised and happy, but also a little scared. He stood up and took three steps forward and two steps back. He was very nervous and hesitant. "Can I really? Will they bite me? Will they spit fire at me? "
"They won't. I am the Mother Of Dragons. They all listen to me." Danny comforted him.
Then, the black captain came over, sweating profusely, and looked at Danny with an inquiring gaze.
"I'll give you the highest honor. You can touch the most powerful one. Yes, it's called Black Diamond." Danny pointed at Big Black in front of her.
If he dared to touch the White Dragon or the Green Dragon, there would be a tragedy that even Danny could not predict.
But she would never admit to anyone that she could not control the dragon.
On the contrary, Danny hoped that everyone would think that she was the real Mother Of Dragons and that she could perfectly control her baby dragon.
In this way, when people were in awe of dragons, they would also be in awe of her.
At the same time, he also tried his best to prevent ambitious people from having the idea that they could obtain the dragon as long as they killed that woman.
In fact, there was a high chance that the Green Dragon and the White Dragon would be taken away.
In the prophecy, the dragon had three heads.
Danny was just one of them.
More than three months, almost four months. Big Black's body was the strongest. Its torso was already the size of an adult police dog. When it spread its wings, it was enough to cover Danny's bed.
When they came to Queers, Danny did not dare to let them fly around. These days, there were wrist thick iron chains tied around their necks.
In order to appease the three dragons, she had to provide them with an unlimited amount of food.
At this time, Big Black was lying on the marble floor, sucking on a burnt bison thigh bone.
"Big Black, don't hurt him. He admires you and wants to touch you. "Danny sent a message to Big Black while gesturing for Kuhulu to touch.
That guy had a look of desire on his face, but he was so scared that he kept shrinking back.
Finally, under Danny's encouragement, he shrank closer to the black dragon, reached out his trembling right hand, and gently touched Big Black's wing. Then, he retracted his hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Big Black ignored him and continued to suck on the bone marrow.
So, the captain gathered some courage and reached out his hand again, gently stroking Big Black's back like a feather.
"Wow, it's just like the legends say. The scales of a true dragon are boiling hot. Only a true dragon can control a true dragon." Kuhulu was so excited that his black face turned red.
"You've heard of all the legends about true dragons?" Danny asked with a smile.
The black captain only stroked it for a while before retreating a few steps. He stood to the side with his hands down, his expression more respectful than when they first met.
He said, "I've heard the scholars mention dragons many times in the old town's city of knowledge. They said that only the true dragon blood of House Targaryen could subdue the Megalosaurus. Others could not even withstand the high temperature emitted by the Megalosaurus.
At that time, I didn't believe it. What kind of animal could be so hot that its rider could not withstand it?
At most, a saddle would be added.
But today, I understand that if the Megalosaurus grew to the size of Bellerion, even a saddle would not be able to withstand its furnace heat.
Even if the scholars think that the Megalosaurus is a beast without much intelligence, it is still the most legendary creature in the world. "
"The scholars even know how intelligent the Megalosaurus is? They've studied the Megalosaurus in depth. "Danny was curious.
"If they don't even study the Megalosaurus, the miracle of the world, is there a need for the scholars to exist?" Kuhulu's tone was complicated as he said a philosophical sentence.
"Did the scholars find out the extent of Bellerion's intelligence?" Danny asked.
This time, before the captain could speak, Chora said, "A child of seven or eight years old. My scholars told me."
"Yes, Bellerion's intelligence is beyond that of other Megalosaurus." Kuhulu agreed.
"Hehe …" Danny chuckled and said to Big Black, "Mr. Kuhulu gave me three barrels of wine. Draw a painting for him."
"Painting?" Kuhulu was confused.
Without Danny's order, Reese's maid immediately came over with a large wooden tray. On it was a roll of parchment paper and a small bowl of ink.
The maid was not afraid of Big Black at all. She squatted beside him and spread out the one-meter-long and half-meter-wide paper. She pressed paperweights on both sides.
Then, she placed the bowl of ink at the bottom left of the roll of paper.
Big Black glanced at Kuhulu and extended its right claw … Dragons, like humans, had five fingers.
Big Black's other four fingers were clenched into fists. After dizzying in the bowl, the "pen" moved like a dragon. Lines quickly appeared on the snow-white roll of paper.
At first glance, the lines were messy and messy, as if a child was doodling. Kuhulu did not expect much at first, but he was not disappointed when he saw this. At least it did not use its dragon claws to make a handprint.
But as time passed, he saw something different.
The stripes of varying thickness and depth gradually outlined one or two figures, and one of them was …
"God bless me, I'm not seeing things." He opened his mouth so wide that one could stuff a goose egg into it. "This is me talking to His Majesty. Even the gauze by the window of the palace makes me feel the breath of the breeze. This …"
"Even the court painters of Braavos are not as good as this …" Kuhulu swallowed hard. His gaze towards Big Black was no longer one of reverence, but of pure reverence. There was no fear.
In his heart, the black dragon in front of him had already been sanctified. It had the will of a god and would not hurt people like a wild beast.
Actually, he was thinking too much. Big Black's intelligence might be higher, but it was still far from that of an eight or nine-year-old child, let alone a god.
At this time, Big Black could also calculate. If Danny asked Kuhulu to add and subtract within 100, Big Black could probably give the answer too. It used its claws to carve words on the floor. But that was it. It was not as shocking as drawing an "audience with the Queen" on the spot.
It was also during the cultural class that Danny was surprised and shocked to find that a dragon's spatial sense had such a huge effect on drawing.
Those who had taken sketching classes knew that one of the most important skills was the three-dimensional analysis of the structure of objects.
Why did Da Vinci keep drawing eggs from different angles?
Wasn't it to cultivate "body sense"? And the black dragon's natural body sense talent was full points. Its perspective was more complete than a human's.
Kuhulu took a scroll of parchment and left in a daze. What he saw and heard today had changed his worldview.
The visit of the captain of Laurel Wind set a precedent for normal visitors. Merchants from all over the world came like a trickle, gathering into a torrent at an unimaginable speed.
The captains of the merchant ships brought lace from Myr, boxes of saffron from the barbarians, amber and dragon crystals from Asia. The poorer traveling merchants offered bags of silver coins.
Other than merchants, there was also a large number of craftsmen, wandering poets, singers …
The silversmiths brought rings and necklaces. The blacksmiths made an arak scimitar and two-handed sword for Danny based on her body size and arm length.
The dyers and weavers gave her colorful cloth. The rich colors made her exclaim in surprise that the ancients had such great wisdom.
Then, countless tailors rushed into the palace, volunteering to sew the world's most beautiful clothes for her …
There were also flute players playing for her, actors performing acrobatics to make her laugh, and entertainers performing magic tricks.
Two dwarves rode on a sow and a large dog, learning from the Westeros knights, competing with each other in lances.
There was a young Volantis man with blonde hair and blue eyes. He begged Danny to take him in as her attendant, promising that he would write poems with the queen as the main character in the future.
In between his words, he even hinted that he was proficient in the seven Cries of Spring from Kaiyuan City.
Danny couldn't stand the man's lecherous gaze, so she had the Blood Guards throw him out.
Later, even the Jiugesnai people from the north of the barbarians came. They gave Danny a zebra with black and white stripes.
Un, the barbarians, it's the Great Celestial Empire of the World of Ice and Fire.
To make it easier to understand, it can be roughly understood like this: Westeros = England, the city of Gith at Slaver's Bay = Ancient Egypt, the western continent of Ursus = Europe, the Dothraki Sea = Russia, the Dothraki people = Cossacks, Quis people = Suez, the barbarians = Great Celestial Empire, and the Jiugesnai people = Nomads to the north of the Celestial Empire.
Just like the works of all Westeros, as long as it involves the capital of the Great Celestial Empire … "Ice and Fire" isn't too dark. It's just that the area of the barbarians is too small, and the Westeros are too big …
Alright, I've digressed.
Danny invited the two Jiugesnai people to stay as guests, and they accepted, overwhelmed by the favor.
During the banquet that night, Danny told them, "You are like the Dothraki people, warriors on horseback. I would like to ask the two of you for some wisdom in leading a tribe."
