The stone men were not transported into the city.
The prisoners wrapped them in oiled paper and transported them to the ships.
The ships immediately left the port and traveled fifty kilometers west, sending the stone men to a desolate rocky beach on the Astapor Peninsula.
The Unsullied would quickly build a completely enclosed courtyard with bricks and wood.
The Gray Scale Disease quarantine area.
After that, she also built a virus research center in the pyramid, and Danny herself was the researcher.
But before she began her research, she had to observe the virus' habits and make sure that it could be killed by high temperatures.
More accurately, she had to make sure that she was not afraid of being infected.
.....
After handing the docks over to Gray Worm, Danny immediately rode Greenie to Kaiyuan and Meereen, and personally ordered the docks to be sealed.
Kaiyuan had close to twenty thousand "Wings of Liberty", and Meereen had fifteen thousand guards. They were fully capable of quickly carrying out Dragon Queen's orders.
Under her orders, the soldiers put on leather gloves, helmets, and masks, and strictly searched every ship. She also announced that Slaver's Bay was closed, and that sea trade would be suspended from today.
"Slaver's Bay's industrial and craft production do not have to stop. I will buy all the goods."
Danny announced to the citizens of the two cities.
Even if the gold was used to buy food, she was not short of money.
Not to mention the millions of gold royals that the Count of Shattered Shackles had confiscated during the trial of the Son of the Harpy, there were still mountains of silver and jewelry in Dani's Great Pyramid!
As for the copper coins …
Dragon Queen had the right to issue currency, and Slaver's Bay had the world's largest copper mine, so she had as many copper coins as she wanted.
.....
Meereen and Kaiyuan's trade was not as prosperous as Astapor's, and all the quarantine work was completed by evening.
After the surprise search, no stone men were found on the docks and merchant ships.
But this did not mean that Kaiyuan and Meereen were safe, because according to Hattar's interrogation, the spies arranged by the alliance did not set off at the same time.
The Heartache of the Rohn River was the home of the stone men.
It was said that the world did not have the Gray Scale Disease.
Two thousand years ago, after the battle between Valleglia's three hundred Megalosaurus and Loynar's army of a hundred and fifty thousand, Mother Loyn unleashed a great flood, drowning the Loynar's most luxurious and prosperous city and drowning all Valleglia in the city.
It was not certain whether the Megalosaurus had drowned or not, but Valleglia also had a large number of cavalry units, and all of them were wiped out.
Since then, the City of Festivals had become a sorrowful place shrouded in a layer of grey fog all day long. The Forbidden Magic of the Mother Stream had brought the Water Curse to the world – Grey Scale Disease.
Grayscale disease is relatively infective.
Every year, every month, or even every day, patients with the grayscale disease were discovered in the villages on the plains of the Rohn River. It was just like the deformed demons born in the Land of Long Summer after the Cataclysm.
Those patients were either burned to death, or their loved ones couldn't bear it and sent the patients to the sad area.
Every year, the people of Valleglia would arrange a fleet to transport large amounts of food to the Sorrowful Territory upstream.
Well, before being completely petrified, the patient also needed to eat.
For example, Tyrion and Clinton ate a lot of food every day.
Because of that, it was easy for the people of Valleglia to search for thirty stone men in the sad area.
If there was a need, they could find more stone men.
Hundreds and thousands!
The captured stone men were loaded onto the ships and secretly transported to Volantis along the river.
They did not dock, but took advantage of the night to divide the stone men into three, stuffed them into the ships full of goods, and then went to Slaver's Bay separately.
The ships were divided into three, and the spies who accepted the mission did not even know who their companions were or which ship the stone men were on.
They only knew their mission: to bring the stone men to Meereen, Kaiyuan, and Astapor.
In other words, the Dragon Queen could not confirm whether the spies of Meereen and Kaiyuan had completed their mission.
Perhaps, the stone men had been thrown into the city's public well, and the spies had fled long ago. Perhaps, the spies' ships were still floating on the sea, on their way to Meereen and Kaiyuan.
Of course, Danny hoped that it was the latter, but …
After checking the docks, it was already evening. But Danny did not rest, and continued to work through the night. She arranged for the soldiers to search the city.
Fortunately, Kaiyuan did not find a single person with the Grey Scale Disease.
In Meereen's commercial street, 87 infected people were found. According to the census, the infection rate was close to 3%.
Some of the patients had even found out about their symptoms three days ago, but they all hid it, afraid of being burned to death.
And this was not the final data.
It could be foreseen that in the next few days, more residents would show symptoms of the Grey Scale Disease, and the infection rate would increase further.
Without a doubt, Meereen had been infected!
The funny thing was, because the Count of Shattered Shackles caught eighty thousand people and threw them into the labor camp outside the city, it caused the people in Meereen to panic and the businesses to wither. Although the number of patients was high, not many people were infected.
Well, most of the infected were the Gith people, small merchants who migrated from Kaiyuan to Meereen.
The rich and famous Gith people in the commercial street had long been arrested and sent to prison. The busiest streets were empty, without any merchants or customers.
And the stone men were thrown into the busiest street's public well.
The next morning.
Outside Meereen City, in a remote manor.
Dragon Queen rode on her dragon's back and said to the 87 desperate patients in the courtyard, "Do not be afraid, do not panic, I swear in the name of the Queen, you are my people, I will not abandon, not give up on any of you."
Seeing that their faces were still ashen and their eyes dim, not livened up by her comforting words, Danny sighed and added,
"Kaiyuan's spy has not been caught, and I still have to research a cure for the disease, so I don't have much time to come to Meereen. But from today onwards, every three days, I will be here to have lunch with you. "
Danny did as she said. At noon that day, a long wooden table was set up in the hall, and she shared the same pot of food with the Grey Scale Disease patients.
The food was not too sumptuous: browned baguettes, beef and potato soup, vegetable salad, boiled eggs, milk.
Seeing the Dragon Queen slurping down a pot of meat soup, two pieces of bread the length of an arm, three boiled eggs, a large glass of milk … For some reason, the Gith people suddenly felt a sense of security and warmth in their hearts.
Becoming the Dragon Queen's people seemed to be a good thing!
They thought so.
.....
After lunch, Danny did not return to Astapor immediately.
Kaiyuan and Astapor were not infected, so her focus should be on Meereen.
But Meereen's mayor, Clyde, had just been removed by her and was still recuperating in Astapor — whipping. The commander of the guards, Jon Bolton, had gone to Astapor for a meeting and was on his way home.
Meereen was a little empty.
.....
The top garden of the Great Pyramid.
The pool.
Under the light blue water of the pool, two pairs of similarly slender and beautiful jade legs were kicking the water, creating splashes of water.
It was Danny and the red-haired female knight, Lila Amber.
There were only the two of them in the garden, and they had been busy all night, neither sleeping nor bathing. They were now naked, lying by the pool and chatting leisurely.
"Your Majesty, the best way to prevent Grayscale Disease is to get rid of the patients immediately. Anyway, they are all Gith, so it is better to kill them and burn them as usual, "Lila said seriously.
At lunch, she did not accompany the queen to the manor where the patients were quarantined.
Now that she knew that the Dragon Queen was eating with the patients, she was shocked and anxious.
"There is no need to be so extreme, just strictly quarantine them. If we really kill them, there will be patients who will deliberately hide their illness in the future, and even have thoughts of revenge on society. You don't want to be one day walking on the street and be pounced on by a Grayscale Disease patient and bite your ankle, right? "
Lila lifted her well-proportioned slender legs out of the water, and her feet twisted a few times mischievously, saying, "I have been wearing iron armor and iron boots recently, he can't bite me."
Danny covered her face with a wet silk handkerchief and said lazily, "There are always people who don't wear armor. And Grayscale Disease is not incurable. I have the Witchcraft Lens, and I know that Stannis's daughter has antibodies in her body. Scholar Yimont's medical skills are also … Sigh, at least he is qualified!
In short, as long as they are my people, no matter what race they are, I will do my best to save them. Isn't this what a queen should do? "
"Splash!" Lila put her feet back into the water, and the surging waves gently caressed Danny's silver hair that was suspended in the water like seaweed.
"But you can't take the risk!" The red-haired female knight sighed.
"It's not considered a risk. Grayscale Disease is not a gray plague, it won't be contagious without contact. And as soon as I came back, I roasted my whole body with fire, killing all the viruses. "
Thinking of the scene where the Dragon Queen roasted herself with fire, Lila was silent.
Even she did not think that the curse of Grayscale Disease could withstand the burning of the fire.
After a moment of silence, Danny said, "I originally intended to let you be the Lord of Meereen, but now the situation has changed. My elder brother's son, Aegon, is here, do you know? "
"Little Prince Aegon? I have seen the letter you sent to Jon. "Lila nodded and asked," What's wrong? Are you sure he's real? Jon and I both feel that the baby swap is too legendary, it sounds fake. "
"All the evidence proves that his identity is real …" Danny's heart skipped a beat. "Hmm, maybe I can use the Witch Lens to do a blood test for him."
Lila understood the meaning behind the Dragon Queen's words, and said in surprise, "You intend to let the little prince be the Lord of Meereen? We haven't found all the Grayscale Disease patients in the city, and the ten stone men have not been found, and Meereen will be a battlefield in the future, won't it be too dangerous? "
"It depends on whether he has the courage, I won't force him. He still wants to fight for the Iron Throne, Meereen is safer than the Westeros, isn't it? "Danny said indifferently.
"You really intend to give up the throne? The little prince's identity is unknown … Even if we take a step back, he is only your nephew, not your son. "Lila frowned.
"Ending the Long Night as King, this will not change, so the Iron Throne may not be mine."
If Aegon was really brave and dared to go to the Great Wall to fight the Other Ghosts, so what if Aunt Danny gave him the priority to fight the Other Ghost King?
As long as Aegon defeated the Night King, she would really help him ascend the Iron Throne.
The Iron Throne was devalued to a pile of dung, she was not willing to fight for it.
To be honest, the most valuable thing in the Westeros now was the Church of the Seven Gods.
Danny had a vague idea a long time ago: the Seven Gods were fake, but the faith of the Seven Gods was real, and the Demigods could use the power of faith, Da Hei could definitely become a Demigod Dragon — in fact, he already was, so could Da Hei take over the magpie's nest?
If this plan worked, she would benefit greatly.
If her guess failed …
The Great Sparrow was over sixty years old now, could he survive her?
Even if he escaped the evil hands of the Sex Queen and died a normal death, at most twenty years, wouldn't the Church of the Seven Gods be hers?
Danny stood up, water droplets rolling down her white, curvy body.
As she dried her hair, she said, "Lila, close all the public wells in the city. If the residents need to fetch water, they can go to the nearby pyramids. I have to go back to Astapor and see if my nephew can escape. "
There were exclusive wells in the pyramids, and there were guards outside the pyramids, so spies could not sneak in to poison.
