A few days ago, Danny went to the Memory Temple to read the history of Quills.
From the thick parchment book, she obtained three important pieces of information. First, a map of the world with Quills at the center. Second, her speculation about White Cloud City was confirmed.
Before Valleglia was destroyed, Slaver's Bay had the Valleglia Avenue that connected all the major cities of Valleglia.
Valleglia Avenue was a stone road made of magma and magma. It was wider and sturdier than modern highways. It connected almost all the cities to the Norn River Basin in the Western Continent.
If you want to be rich, you have to build a road first.
There was no safer and faster road than Valleglia Avenue. At that time, merchants mostly took routes like "Far East — Jade Sea — Quills — White Cloud City — Slaver's Bay — Valleglia Avenue — all over the world." That was why White Cloud City was such a desert miracle.
Danny guessed one thing wrong. The dried river bed she saw was not natural, but a man-made river.
Valleglia drove slaves to dig a man-made river from the source of the Laza River. It was nearly a thousand kilometers long, passing through two White Cities and ending at the third.
Three hundred years ago, Valleglia was destroyed in the Great Cataclysm. The entire land of Long Summer was shrouded in a strange curse. Valleglia Avenue from Slaver's Bay to Valentis became a demonic avenue that everyone feared.
Thus, the thousand-year "Silk Road" between the East and the West came to an end. Merchants could only use ships to avoid the road from Valentis to Quills.
White Cities lost their value. The river that required large amounts of manpower every few years gradually dried up.
In less than a hundred years, White Cities, which had been weakened to the extreme, were destroyed by passing horse people.
Oh, back to the topic. The third piece of information Danny obtained from the Memory Temple had something to do with Valleglia.
The Dragon King of Valleglia had captured slaves all the way to the Jugesnai Plains in the Far East. How could he let go of Quills?
On the day when the Megalosaurus arrived at the city, the ancient royal family of Quils perished, leaving behind a princess who became the wife of a Dragon King of Valleglia. The two of them were the ancestors of the royal family in front of Danny.
Danny guessed that the royal family must have coveted her Megalosaurus but were also extremely afraid of it.
As the Mother Of Dragons, she had the ability to become the next ancestor of the Kils royal family, just like what the Dragon King had done in the past.
And so, Danny turned to the royal family and requested, "Great ruler of the Immortal City of Quills, I ask you to lend me a fleet, so that I can return to the homeland that I miss day and night. The people of the Westeros will be grateful to you for bringing back their Queen"
At the end of her speech, she wiped her tears and wept sorrowfully.
Queers' onions were awesome!
It was a little awkward. In such a large hall, her soft sobs actually produced echoes. It was too empty and too quiet. No one gave her a response.
"Wuwuwu …" Perhaps the royal family also felt that the silence was too awkward. Sobbing sounds came from the platform.
It was still that shill.
Wendelo, who had received 777 Gold Radiance Coins from Danny.
"Danny, your words are so touching. Your emotions have deeply touched me," he said as he wiped his tears.
Danny widened her eyes, waiting for him to continue. It would be great if he could give her dozens of warships.
"But I'm obsessed with music and have no interest in business. I'm not like the thirteen magnates, who all have huge fleets. Although I'm as rich as a country, I don't have the big ships you need."
Danny's heart sank. You bastard, you said you're as rich as a country, but you're still so stingy.
"Kalixi, your attire, your etiquette, and the way you speak have moved me." Another member of the royal family who accepted the bribe, known as "Aigeng the Elegant", declined politely with a sobbing tone, "I'm a member of the royal family, but I'm also a poet. I'm willing to compose a poem about what happened to you."
As she finished, she began to recite a poem in Valyrian with tears in her eyes.
The poem roughly described how the last princess of an ancient kingdom went through countless difficulties and dangers, but in the end, she was extremely lucky and received the support of many of her subjects. She defeated the usurper and successfully married the handsome prince, growing up to become a queen.
Although they couldn't send a fleet to send Danny back to restore her kingdom, they could use this method to fulfill her dreams!
"Wuwuwu, it's so touching. I also wish you success, Queen of the Seven Kingdoms." Many people spoke for the first time … er, they rejected her.
Some copied Aigen and the others and rejected her tactfully. Some remained silent and rejected her silently.
At some point, the fat manager who had been standing quietly at the bottom left corner of the stairs suddenly moved a few steps to the center. He didn't disturb the royal family members on the five-meter-tall platform, but he also happened to attract Danny's attention.
Dani caught a glimpse of him gesturing discreetly to her that the day's petition was over.
what？ It's over?
Even if they didn't give her a few warships, they should at least give her something in return, right?
She had bribed more than 10,000 Radiance Coins from start to finish.
In order to raise money, she even sold most of the gifts given by the visitors.
The royal family of Kuglers was really a bunch of idiots. They didn't care about the etiquette of the guests at all. They were completely stingy!
Danny cursed the royal family's ancestors in her heart, but she still looked sad. She wiped her tears and expressed her gratitude to the royal family, then politely asked to leave.
After leaving the palace, she waited for another hour at the training field in the side hall. When the sky gradually darkened, the three dragons landed beside her. She put the chains back on, and the group followed the path they came from and left the Hall of a Thousand Seats.
When she came here in the afternoon on the ox cart, the sun was high in the sky and the weather was too hot. There were very few people on the streets. Now that it was almost dusk, the spacious road was also blocked by the crowd.
Qiao Ge had no choice but to crack his whip in the air and shout from the horseback, "Get out of the way, you milk-men, get out of the way! Make way for the Mother Of Dragons. "
But his shaky Valleglia language only attracted the curious gazes of countless people. It didn't have any effect on the traffic at all. The ox cart could only move forward step by step.
The great merchant Zaro seemed to be used to this. He leisurely reclined on the back of the cool mahjong mat, poured ruby-like wine into a pair of matching emerald and gold goblets, and steadily handed it to Danny opposite him. "My Light of Love, I see that your red and swollen eyes are filled with deep disappointment. They rejected you?"
Danny took the goblet and drank more than half of it. "Your eyes are like torches, seeing the truth of the matter. Yes, the royal family rejected me mercilessly.
Or rather, they didn't even want to help me. They called me purely because of their curiosity about dragons and their boredom. "
Zaro didn't look surprised at all. While pouring wine for himself, he asked casually, "What did they say?"
"Wendro said that he didn't have a boat and couldn't help me. 'Elegant Aegon' cried and recited a poem for me. Masos, who took 500 Radiant coins from me, didn't even bother to reject me." Danny sighed and asked, "Can I ask Sir Jorah to ask him for the money back?"
"Sigh, these people from Queers are really untrustworthy. People without trust can't survive in the business world. Queers is the largest trading capital, so the royal family's power is getting lower and lower, and their reputation is getting worse and worse." Zaro mocked with disdain, then looked at Danny seriously and warned her, "Don't mention the matter of asking for the gift back — if you don't want the 'Regretful Guest' to sneak into my palace one night and murder you while you're asleep."
"Regretful Guest …" Danny nodded and didn't mention the matter of asking Masos for the money.
Other than the fact that the people of Queers shed tears as a sign of civilization, they also had another characteristic: they were polite.
When the assassins of Queers killed, they would also politely say "I'm sorry" to the victims. Therefore, the long-established assassin group was known as the "Regretful Guest".
Well, self-righteous politeness. The encounter in the Hall of a Thousand Seats this afternoon didn't make Danny think that the people of Queers were polite.
"Oh, my love, don't be too sad. You're not the only one who suffered today." Zaro spread his arms wide and rested them on the back of the soft couch. The wine cup hooked between two fingers on his right hand swayed gently. "There's a saying in Queers that it's harder to get money from the royal family than to milk Faross's stone cows.
Do you know Faross? It's an island in the Jade Sea. The people there worship stone cows. Isn't it strange?
If you're willing to marry me, my luxurious yacht can take you there to see the local scenery. In fact, my caravans are all over the Jade Sea. You can go anywhere you want.
We can travel to the barren lands and look for the city of dreams that poets speak of. We can go to the Jugesnai Plains and drink the wine of wisdom with the heads of the dead … "
"I want to sail to the Westeros and drink the wine of vengeance with the heads of usurpers. Why don't you come with me to the King's Landing? The scenery of the Sunset Continent is more beautiful and mysterious than the Jade Sea. " Danny blinked at him and smiled. "Other than the shocking Great Wall beyond the Great Wall, I've heard that there are deviant ghosts in the Far North!
Do you know about deviant ghosts? They're terrifying monsters that can bring eternal night to the world. They're much more interesting than those stone cows! "
"Let the deviant ghosts come. Eternal night isn't as disappointing as being rejected by you again." The fatty wiped his face and squeezed out a few more tears.
As expected, every person of Queers could cry under any circumstances.
"I've told you many times. I'm a merchant. All merchants are pacifists. War is the killer of stable trade. We may expect others to fight, but we never participate in it ourselves.
Also, I don't understand what's so good about that iron chair in the King's Landing. I've heard that it was forged by your ancestors using thousands of swords. It's cold, hard, and sharp. It's a metal monster.
Aren't you afraid of those jagged spikes cutting into your toned buttocks? "The merchant rejected Dani once again.
"Boom!"
On the street outside the carriage, countless citizens suddenly shouted together. The loud sound waves seemed to be about to overturn the carriage that Dani was sitting on.
"Creak!" The carriage came to a sudden stop.
"What happened?" Danny asked loudly through the curtain.
