Zaro witnessed with his own eyes how the dwarf relied on the Dragon Queen's trust in him and how he used his glib tongue to deceive his superiors and deceive his subordinates. The Queen actually agreed on the spot and allowed Zaro to use 500,000 gold coins to redeem 70 people he wanted.
Zaro had only brought 500,000 gold coins to redeem Wendro, Piero, and the rest of the most noble pterosaur knights.
He did not expect to exceed his expectations. Not only were all the pterosaur knights redeemed, but there were also more than 30 Lords of Tolos.
Zaro's reward for Tyrion was 50 gold coins worth of anonymous deposit notes from the iron treasury and five top-level bed slaves.
The Dragon Queen did not let the captives go unconditionally. Other than the ransom, she also required all the captives to swear a sacred oath: for the next ten years, they would not participate in any battles against the Dragon Queen.
The Dragon Queen wanted Zaro to stay in Astapor for a few more days, but Zaro knew his own situation. A month ago, they had ordered the world's top assassin organizations to assassinate the Queen's only relative and most trusted official.
Who knew where the assassins were now.
If the Queen's eldest nephew was assassinated while he was visiting Slaver's Bay … he would lose his only relative and even his heir. No matter how deep his friendship with the Queen was, he would not be able to escape the fate of being washed in dragon flames.
So, on the afternoon of the second day, Zaro hurriedly took the 70 dispirited captives and left on a ship. They would first take a ship to New York on the Free Maiden Island and wait for the Xingis pterosaur knights to pick them up.
On the pier by the sea, Tyrion and the Dragon Queen watched as Zaro's ship disappeared into the sea.
"Tyrion, did Zaro ask you about Garth?" Danny asked.
In the process of reminiscing, Zaro asked about Rhys, Prince Rhys, Lady Hyder, and so on in a roundabout way. She was confused and was stunned a few times.
At this moment, Danny remembered that her White Knight's surname was also "Hyder," and Rhys only had one Lady Hyder: Mormont's ex-wife, Linise Hyder.
But she still did not understand what Zaro wanted to do.
Danny could not be blamed for being confused. Who would have thought that Zaro suspected that Linise was her spy?
Uh, the relationship between Big Bear and Garth was also quite complicated. When they first met at Slave Bay, it was so awkward that even Danny wanted to stand out in advance.
"Yes." Tyrion nodded and guessed, "The last time you ambushed Benny in Meereen, you made the alliance think that there was a mole among them.
Zaro probably suspects Prince Reese, Cui Ge. After all, Cui Ge is the son-in-law of the Haitan family. "
It had to be said that the dwarf had always been very smart. Zaro's question was very clever, but he still managed to guess it.
"Oh, I see. Seems like I can make use of it …" Danny nodded thoughtfully.
Tyrion asked again in confusion, "Your Majesty, I've heard of the Whip of Dugu, but no matter how powerful Hattar's whip is, it can only be used for interrogation. It can't guarantee the loyalty of spies, right?
No matter what those Winged Dragon Knights promised before, when they return to New Gith and Mataris, when they become glorious and proud Winged Dragon Knights again, they will not be willing to be spies for your alliance. "
Tyrion was never stupid. Even if Danny did not say it explicitly, he could guess that there were spies among the captives that Zaro took away.
It was very likely that there were one or a few Winged Dragon Knights.
If they could completely grasp the movements of the alliance's Winged Dragon Army through the spies, then the results of the third and fourth Dragon Wars would be no different from the first and second: Dragon Queen would win, and the alliance would lose their lives and their dragons.
The Queen had asked him to receive Zaro and was deliberately bribed by him to dispel the alliance's suspicions. She had directly agreed to release the captives. The alliance was not stupid. How could they not be suspicious?
The problem was, how could the Dragon Queen ensure the loyalty of the spies?
He was also considered one of the Dragon Queen's important officials and knew a lot of secrets. For example, after receiving the letter that Zaro was about to leave for Astapor, the Dragon Queen ordered all thirty-six Winged Dragon Knights to be brought out of the labor camp and sent to the dungeon for interrogation by the Whip of Dugu, Hattar.
In fact, when the Battle of Tolos had just ended, Hattar had already tortured the captives. They even confessed the color of their wives' underwear.
This time, Hattar went even further and used his peerless whip skills on almost every Winged Dragon Knight.
Tyrion saw with his own eyes that a few Winged Dragon Knights were beaten silly and had a mental breakdown.
He did not know what was going on before, but after receiving the mission from the Dragon Queen, he immediately guessed that Hattar tortured the Winged Dragon Knights to subdue them and make them spy for the Queen.
But, this did not make sense!
In the face of the Devil's Tail, even the most determined person would surrender and swear that they were willing to be spies for the alliance.
After leaving Slave's Bay, even the most cowardly person would turn from fear to hatred and endless hatred.
Of course, they would have to violate the sacred oath of not fighting with the Dragon Queen for ten years.
If he could think of this, then the Queen would definitely have thought of it as well.
So, if she insisted on doing this, she must have other means to ensure the loyalty of the spies.
Tyrion was very curious. What did the Queen do?
"I have a 'Loyal Curse'. After being hit by this curse, anyone will be completely loyal to me. Do you want to try it?" Danny glanced at the dwarf and asked strangely.
Distortion of Will was indeed a 'Loyal Curse'.
But that day in the Northern Region, even Danny in her Super Godly state could detect the traces of the Green Prophet in her sea of consciousness.
Danny's Whisper was no more secretive than the Green Prophet's Distortion of Will, and the sheep egg was definitely stronger than Danny at the Great Wall.
So, Danny did not dare to use 'Danny's Whisper' on the pterosaur knights.
In fact, the Evil God's Whisper did not have much effect on Demigods, unless the one who used the Whisper was a True God. The Whisper was only effective on creatures whose strength and will were lower than the user's. It was ineffective on creatures of the same level, and it was impossible to use it above their level.
She asked Hattar to torture the knights only to destroy their spiritual will physically. Since they had broken down, they naturally could not detect that Danny had entered the Space of Consciousness to endow them with spirits.
She did not need to distort their will. She only needed to mark the position of the knights.
She did not dare to use the soul mark she learned from Kui Xi. The sheep egg would most likely be able to detect it, and he might even attack Danny herself through the soul fragment left on the spies.
Just like how Danny used Kui Xi's soul fragment to use the True Dragon Roar on the shadow binder.
But these words could not be said to the little devil, unless he was really retarded and agreed to accept the 'Loyal Curse'.
Tyrion tilted his head and looked at Danny. He grinned and said, "Your Majesty, I can guarantee that the 'Loyal Curse' will only have side effects on me.
If loyalty could be measured by numbers, then the Scarlet Loyalty Curse could only increase a person's loyalty by 100 points.
But my loyalty to you is 10000 points. Turning 10000 points into 100 points is too much of a loss! "
"Hehe, is your 10,000 points of loyalty positive or negative?" Danny sneered.
"Of course it's positive. It's really positive!" Tyrion puffed out his chest and puffed out his belly.
Then, he did not ask about the Dragon Queen's method of controlling the spies. He changed the topic and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what, I have made a great contribution this time. I don't want a single copper coin of the 500,000 gold coins in the iron treasury. As for the five bed slaves …
They are naturally no longer slaves. Can you let me keep them for a year and a half? "
"How dare you say such things in front of me!" Danny narrowed her eyes, as if knives were coming out from her eyes.
"If a year is not enough, how about a month?" Tyrion complained. "After the Gray Scale Disease incident, when I went to God's Grace Cathedral again, the Red Saintess only talked about love with me. She did not even let me touch —"
"Enough!"
Danny looked disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly. She waved her hand and interrupted him. "Go find the Green Saintess and let the Red Saintess do your business again.
If the five slaves are not willing to turn over a new leaf, let the Green Saintess teach them. Whatever you want to do, go find her! "
Tyrion agreed on the surface, but secretly decided to delay the Queen's order for a few days.
When he was in the Westeros, he had heard of the famous bed slaves in Yuankai, who was thousands of miles away. Only the Dragon King of Valleglia had the right to enjoy the Purple Saintess.
But when he came to Slave's Bay and went through many difficulties to become the Queen's minister of state, the bed slaves were gone.
Dragon Queen was better than Saint Bailey. Saint Bailey closed all the brothels in King's Landing and drove away all the prostitutes. Dragon Queen was still rational and kept the Red Saintess system. But the bed slaves and the Purple Saintess of Yuankai were history.
Maybe the five Purple Saintesses left by Zaro were his last chance.
So, he did not look for the Green Saintess. Instead, he circled around the city. When the sky was dark, he quietly returned to the dock and entered the Great White Shark Hotel — the hotel where Zaro stayed while he was in Astapor.
Well, Zaro stayed in the VIP bedroom of the Great Pyramid, and his followers stayed in the hotel.
After all, most of those followers were slaves loyal to Zaro. Would they be an eyesore in front of the Queen?
The five top-level bed slaves and bodyguards were placed in the hotel.
After greeting the hotel owner, Tyrion easily got the key to the bedroom.
When he thought of the five peerless beauties waiting for him inside, even with Tyrion's old composure, he could not help but push open the door. His hands trembled, his face flushed, and his throat went dry.
There was no one in the bedroom hall, but there was the sound of running water in the bathroom …
He was no longer a virgin. When Tyrion heard the sound of running water, he wanted to have a nosebleed.
"Five, huh. Seems like I can't handle all of them …" After hesitating for a moment, the little devil gritted his teeth and took out a small ebony box from his pocket. He opened it and took out a pill the size of a soybean.
The smell of medicine was strong.
He swallowed it with a "smack".
He did not know if it was the effect of the medicine or his imagination.
In an instant, the little devil was full of energy!
"Baby, the Wildfire General is here!"
He arched his body and rushed into the bathroom while howling. He pulled open the curtain …
Zaro was a lid, Zaro was a lid, Zaro was a lid!
And it was a completely curved lid within a lid.
Facing the Dragon Queen who was as beautiful as the moon and had an extraordinary temperament, his heart was as calm as still water. He even felt disgusted. It was clear how big of a lid he was.
Hence, Zaro was not lying. His bed slave was also his bodyguard!
"Awoo —"
The Wildfire General's mournful howls could be heard from half a block away.
However, the innkeeper had been informed beforehand and knew what the Wildfire General was doing. He stopped all the people who were rushing over to save him.
"It's a misunderstanding. Everyone has misunderstood!" the innkeeper said.
On the second day, the Wildfire General did not attend the Imperial Conference. He did not go to work either. He went to New York Town to be a pirate or to manage the Wildfire Factory in the suburbs.
On the third day, the Wildfire General was absent from work as usual.
At this time, the Dragon Queen who was busy forging armor for herself was finally alerted.
The Winged Dragon Tessa of the Wildfire General was nowhere to be seen.
Did that fellow escape?
After entering the Dragon Spirit state to sense Tessa's location, Danny told Old Yimont and the others with a strange expression, "The Wildfire General is about five kilometers west of the city by the sea."
Aegon volunteered to look for Tyrion. Danny agreed.
The salty sea breeze blew Tyrion's messy blonde hair. He faced the sea and sat on a black reef the size of a horse carriage. He used a green cloak to wrap his body. He was like a wooden statue, motionless.
"Tyrion?" Aegon came closer. He was shocked to find that the dwarf's once lively eyes were as dull as a dead fish. His ugly scarred face was as pale as … the Dragon Paper invented by Aunt Danny.
"What happened to you?" Aegon asked with concern. "You suddenly rushed out of the inn two nights ago and disappeared. We were very worried."
At this point, Aegon had an envious expression. He asked in a low voice, "I heard that there were five top-level bed slaves … Did you collapse?"
"You are not a good friend. You said that you wanted to be my teacher, but you alone …" Aegon started complaining.
"Boohoo …" Tyrion suddenly cried.
