Cui Ge looked at his colleagues suspiciously and was the first to stand up. "The Dragon Queen might have guessed that the Winged Dragon Knights would attack the three cities of Slaver's Bay.
But she couldn't have known our specific targets. Meereen, Kaiyuan, Astapor?
It's all possible.
She shouldn't have known the exact path of the Winged Dragon Knights.
Look at the way she assassinated Commander Bennett … How could all of this be a coincidence? "
"There's a traitor among us!" Prince Reese said firmly.
The meeting room was silent. They looked at each other with suspicion and vigilance.
The harmonious and friendly atmosphere of the meeting had become oppressive and awkward.
The War God glanced at Cui Ge and said in a low voice, "I believe all of you are not spies of the Mother Of Dragons.
There are too many people who know about the ambush plan. The most likely possibility is that the information was leaked from the low-ranking officers. "
"Yes, we are all targets of the Mother Of Dragons' revolution. Only idiots would be spies for her," Senator Volantis said.
"Yes, the others are fine, but how could the Mother Of Dragons let us go?"
Even Cui Ge seemed to be convinced and nodded. "That makes sense."
Soon, everyone reached a consensus. The spy might be real, but it had nothing to do with the representatives.
The meeting room was filled with a lively and sincere atmosphere again.
Zanetti shook the letter in his hand and said, "Priest Jenny wants us to send a messenger with a high enough status to Astapor to ask about the possibility of redeeming the prisoners.
It would be best if we could redeem the captured Winged Dragon Knights. Winged Dragons are easy to get, but riders are hard to find. It takes months to train a knight.
The elephant soldiers and cavalry are already preparing to leave Mataris and conquer Meereen. Time is tight and we can't afford to delay. Who's going? "
"It's useless no one. The Dragon Queen is a smart person. Releasing the prisoners and then going to the battlefield to make things difficult for herself?" Cui Ge shook his head.
"We can try. Redeeming noble prisoners is a Westeros custom. Besides, even if she wins every battle, some of her subordinates might be captured by us. We can only return if we come, "Grazidan said.
"I'll go! She and I have a past that is hard to miss. Even if the negotiation fails, there won't be any danger. "Zaro volunteered on the stretcher.
"You have a … past with the Demon Mother Of Dragons?" The representative of Koh Chang Island widened his eyes in surprise.
"It was a wonderful time."
Zaro's eyes were blurred as he said with an intoxicated expression, "That year, under the guidance of fate, I only brought two followers and traversed a thousand miles of red purgatory.
A dragon that only searched for miracles.
In the ruins of a place called White Cloud City, I met her and saved her along with her centaurs.
I brought camels for them, and camels with them to carry water and food.
After that, we went south together.
During the day, she was like a little bird with a strong thirst for knowledge, chirping around me to ask about the local customs of the world.
Fortunately, I was experienced and knowledgeable, so I was able to answer every one of her tricky questions.
At night, we sat around the fire, looking at the stars and the moon, and discussing fantastical stories. For example, the legend of the Megalosaurus that came from the explosion of the moon.
When we arrived at Queers, I lived with her for several months. We drank the world's most expensive wine, tasted the world's most delicious food, and used the world's most gorgeous satin to sew her beautiful clothes.
If it wasn't for the fact that she always wanted to return to King's Landing and I didn't want to leave my hometown to deal with the cunning Westeros, we would have married long ago.
Sigh, the past is like smoke. When I look back, we are strangers.
Before we parted, she made me a golden jacket.
I wore it to see her. No matter what she looks like now, I will miss her when I see her. "
Everyone was dumbfounded. Their outlook on life was about to collapse.
This bald man with a nose studded with jewels had such a glorious history?
Was there any justice? Was there any law? They were ten times more handsome and ten times richer than him. Why didn't they encounter such a good thing?
Marry the Dragon Queen?!
What a shocking and splendid achievement it would have been for all eternity!
"You're not bluffing, are you?" The Pirate King smacked his lips and asked suspiciously.
"Hehe, who doesn't know about this in Queers?" Zaro sneered proudly.
Cui Ge looked at him enviously and said, "If it were me, I would give up everything to … cough cough, to correct this world-class mistake and teach her to follow the right path."
"Sigh, if I knew this would happen, I would have sacrificed myself back then," Zaro said regretfully.
The Kai Yuan Battle God lowered his head and sized himself up. He was tall and sturdy, and his physique was robust. He then touched his face. It was angular and square.
Then he thought about his family's wealth and status. It was better than Zaro's!
"Sigh!" The War God sighed.
.....
After the meeting, the War God secretly found Zaro and said, "Cui Ge is suspicious! He might be the Dragon Queen's spy. "
Zaro was shocked. "What? Didn't you say … "
"To calm everyone down and not alert the enemy, I could only say that," Grazidan waved his hand and said seriously.
"Why? Cui Ge is Prince Reese, a slave owner! "Zaro was confused.
The War God shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but my guess is not baseless.
First, Cui Ge announced that there was a spy in the meeting.
It's very likely that he's a thief pretending to be a thief.
Secondly, Garth Hyder is Linnis' brother, which means he's Cui Ge's brother-in-law! "
"Gods, I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it."
Zaro slapped his forehead and said, "Cui Ge's wife died in Reese's Passion Garden. She was burned to death by the Dragon Queen.
Then, he officially married Linnis Hyder.
Garth was Daenerys's white knight and Linnis's second brother.
Now, Linnis is in New Gith. She probably knows about our plan.
Sigh, I was too careless. I shouldn't have discussed such a secret in front of so many people. "
Yes, Linnis was promoted from lover to wife of Prince Cui Ge.
The last time she passed by Reese, Danny accidentally landed in Cui Ge's Tower of Babel.
In order to survive, Linnis told the Dragon Queen almost everything she knew about the location of the steel weapons.
At that time, she played a trick and borrowed Danny's knife to kill Cui Ge's first wife.
Dragon Queen burned down several high-class Passion Gardens, burning dozens of princes and dozens of nobles who participated in the mass movement.
Cui Ge's wife was in one of the Passion Gardens.
Don't doubt, the lives of the nobles in Reese were simple and filled with the most primitive interests.
"Sigh, the relationships between Westeros nobles are too complicated. It's hard to guard against them." Zaro sighed.
Glazdan said in a low voice, "Cui Ge's way of promotion is also very strange. It seems to have something to do with the Dragon Queen."
"What do you mean?" Zaro was surprised.
"Cui Ge's bloodline isn't noble. He doesn't have the right to be Reese's representative. However, almost all the princes above him died in the hands of the Dragon Queen.
Moreover, when the Dragon Queen arrived in Reese, the first place she went to was Cui Ge's Tower of Babel …
I'll arrange for people to keep an eye on Cui Ge and his wife. When you go to Astapor, you can also secretly test Danny and Liz. With your wisdom and … charm, you should be able to do it, right? "
"Of course!" Zaro agreed without hesitation.
.....
Astapor, the steel mill in the south of the city.
Beside the forging furnace, Tobu shouted loudly. A group of blacksmith apprentices quickly added charcoal to the six furnace openings and stirred the drum with all their might. Fresh air flowed through the iron pipes and whistled into the furnace.
In the middle of the furnace, an orange flame rose seven to eight meters high, like a spear that pierced the sky.
The heat was like a tsunami that didn't stop. It spread in all directions, causing everyone's cheeks to turn red and their bodies to sweat.
"It's about time." Tobu licked his dry lips and looked at the Dragon Queen expectantly.
The furnace was built in a spacious courtyard.
The forging furnace was hexagonal and made of red bricks. The sides were one and a half meters long and two meters high. On each side, there was a large window filled with charcoal and a mouthpiece connected to the blower.
On one side, there was also a smelting room made of natural graphite and a steel sword was placed inside.
Generally speaking, six ordinary furnaces were put together to heat the smelting room in the center.
According to Tobu's incantation, a number of living people should be thrown into the fire opening in the center of the furnace. Then, the incantation should be chanted to sacrifice the black goat and use the black goat's divine power to smelt the steel.
But Dany vehemently rejected the idea of blood sacrifice.
She spent a lot of effort and finally got the position of "blacksmith" for Big Black. Now it was time to test the results.
"Gah —"
Big Black ignored the high temperature of the furnace bricks and directly laid on top of it. Its mouth was aimed at the fire opening in the center.
The blacksmith returned to his position. The power of faith and magic combined to form the blacksmith's divine power.
"Boom!!!"
The bright glazed red dragon flame was like a water column that flowed through the fire opening into the smelting room.
Danny stepped forward.
The heat wave blew her soft silver hair over her shoulders. She kept chanting the incantation to smelt the steel, but the magic in her body did not decrease.
But Big Black's divine power began to be consumed rapidly. Like a trickle, it flowed into the steel sword in the forging room.
Well, the smelting incantation invented by the Khol people did not consume their own magic. Blacksmith Tobu had no magic at all. The incantation only borrowed and guided the power of the evil god.
And the steel sword seemed to have become a deep pool, greedily absorbing every drop of divine power.
"… The blacksmith works hard day and night, arranging everything in order, the hammer bellows, the furnace fires, creating a world for the little children …"
Danny began to loudly sing the "Song of the Seven Gods – Blacksmith Chapter", and the divine power in the steel sword began to boil.
The song without any magic power ignited a pot of hot oil.
"Singing the Song of the Blacksmith can smelt steel? “
Tyrion's mouth twitched. He glanced at Tobu who had a dignified face and said:
"If this really works, the Black Goat of Khol will have to resign. Blacksmiths don't need any sacrifices! "
Tobu turned his head and said lightly: "The Black Goat of Khol has existed since the time of Valleglia, and will continue to exist."
"Sigh, my aunt is good at everything, but … she's too pious!"
Thinking of her rejection of his marriage and her threat that if he dared to have impure thoughts, she would build a virgin residence and lock him in, Aegon could not help but sigh.
"Your Highness, you should learn from Her Majesty the Queen. Pious belief in the Seven Gods is the best way to become a great knight. "Clinton said seriously.
"That's right. Believing in the Seven Gods is better than blaspheming the Seven Gods. Prince, even if you want to pretend, you have to pretend like the Queen." Tyrion laughed.
"No matter how pious, the Seven Gods have no power. What's the use?" Tobu shook his head.
"You mean, it failed?" Yimont frowned and asked.
"Most likely —"
Suddenly, an apprentice exclaimed and interrupted him: "It melted, the steel sword melted!"
