"Rule us?"
It was a hunchbacked, emaciated old centaur with only a single black eye left.
Khal were all centaurs, but Kalixi came from all over the world. Blonde hair, blue eyes, silver hair, purple eyes, red hair, brown eyes, green hair … There were even a few black girls!
But the leader of the Dosh Kallin was an old centaur woman.
"It's not impossible. You have the right to replace me and become the leader of the Dosh Kallin." The one-eyed old woman thought for a moment and nodded.
"No, you've misunderstood. I'm not a Dosh Kallin. I don't just want to rule you."
Danny waved her hand and looked at the people around her. She said loudly, "I want to rule everyone. Everyone within sight and beyond will kneel before me."
"You, how dare you!" The old women shouted angrily.
The one-eyed old woman looked at Danny with her dark eyes and said sternly, "You're not a khal, you're not a man. How dare you dream of becoming a steed that rides the world?"
"I'm Kalixi. I have twenty thousand roaring warriors under me. I'm stronger than any man. Why can't I become a steed that rides the world?" Danny said calmly.
"You're not the one in the prophecy. You're not even a centaur." The one-eyed old woman said loudly.
"I'm not a centaur. But ever since I married Khal Drogo, I have the same rights as a centaur. Just like them …" Danny pointed at the people in front of her. They were all Dosh Kallin of other races.
"They weren't originally centaurs. But after they married the khal, they became Dosh Kallin like you."
The one-eyed old woman was speechless. She was stunned for a while before saying, "No woman has ever been a khal."
"There's a first time for everything. Don't the zebra people next door have a female Jaha (equivalent to khal)?
Also, the zebra people's first Jahata (khal of khal who rides the world's steed) Zanya was a female warrior. "Danny said.
Unfortunately, she was playing the lute to a cow this time.
The one-eyed old woman might be very intelligent and had experienced many things and people. She even had some understanding of the Zebra people next to the Bone Mountain, but she had never heard of Zanya.
Seeing the old woman's doubtful expression, Danny understood that the old woman probably did not know about the Zebra Heroes from thousands of years ago.
Sighing, she turned around and looked at her roaring warriors, asking loudly, "Are all of you truly loyal to a female khal?"
Kui Luo was the first to draw his scimitar. "Long live Kalixi! Long live Kao of Kao!"
The lackeys behind him immediately knew how to answer.
He also raised his scimitar high into the sky and shouted, "Long live Kalixi, long live the Khal of Khal!"
Their voices were uniform, and the sound waves overflowed into the heavens. The group of old women were shocked, and then they retreated a few steps.
Danny Rize = the first female khal. It had become a fact that "everyone knew".
As long as Danny's Khalasar sincerely recognized her identity as a khal, the Khalasar on the prairie would also recognize her.
Does it sound ridiculous?
Just think about the formation process of the Khalasar and you'll understand.
The Khalasar were not a race, and their boundaries were very blurry. Different Khalasars could seamlessly merge and expand infinitely.
"Do you know what you're facing?" the one-eyed old woman said eerily.
"Of course. All khals will challenge me. I can't refuse." Danny nodded.
"Tonight, at the foot of the Mother of Mountains, we will seek enlightenment from the gods. Whether there will be a steed that rides the world, we'll know tonight, "the one-eyed old woman said.
No matter what major matter the centaurs wanted to do, they would always go to the Mother of Mountains to seek divination. This was their tradition.
Danny nodded, watching as Dosi Khalin left, surrounded by eunuchs and slaves.
"Let's go and find a place to set up camp." She waved her hand and urged her horse forward.
"Kalixi, let's go to Khal Drogo's palace. That's your inheritance," Rakaro called out.
"Alright."
After walking along the Avenue of the Gods for four to five kilometers, the statues on the roadside gradually decreased. Then, an extremely exaggerated market appeared before their eyes.
The layout of Horse King City was extremely simple. There was only one main road, the Avenue of the Gods. It started from the Horse Gate and went north all the way to the foot of the Mother of Mountains.
The Avenue of the Gods was divided into three sections: front, middle, and back. The two sides of the front section were piled with statues that the centaurs had robbed. The middle section was the market, and the left and right sides were the market in the west and east respectively. The back section was where Dosi Khalin lived.
The market in the west was occupied by merchants from the free trade city-states. It was a huge square, surrounded by mud brick huts and livestock pens. In the middle of the square were many vendors and rugged aisles.
The market in the east was similar. Merchants from Asha, the barren lands, and the Shadow Lands traded there.
Although centaurs were primitive, in Horse King City, everything from the East and the West could be bought.
For example, Dorne's wine and Slaver's Bay's dragon paper.
The wide streets were paved with withered wild grass and brown soil. Wild flowers grew freely here and there.
Danny rode through the market in the west of the city, looking for Drogo's yurt.
Perhaps the land in Horse King City was not worth much, but the buildings were very spacious. The total area was roughly five times the size of Meereen.
It was said that Horse King City could accommodate all the centaurs in the Dothraki Sea.
Well, it could only accommodate them, but it could not support them.
After circling around a few streets, Danny stopped and said awkwardly, "I don't remember the way. Do any of you remember?"
Because of their special status and because of the previous declaration, many vendors, slaves, and centaurs looked at them curiously along the way.
There were also bare-bottomed centaur children chasing around Dany's silver pony, making her very uncomfortable.
"I'll lead the way." A few centaurs said in unison.
In the end, Agg rode forward and led the group forward.
The buildings in Horse King City were too strange. There were carved stone tents, grass-woven palaces as big as the castles of Westeros lords, two-story wooden buildings, and palaces that were simply surrounded by thorny fences.
Danny even saw a few miniature pyramids made of marble.
There were too many styles, too strange. Many of them were new and had no urban planning at all.
But the centaurs could not be blamed. They did not study architecture at all. All the buildings were built by slaves. Today, they captured a Gith and built a pyramid. Tomorrow, they captured a Loynar and built a castle. The day after tomorrow …
"We're here." “
Agg stopped in front of a deep wooden hall.
Danny really found its shadow in the original owner's memories.
Logs as thick as her waist were nailed to the ground side by side, forming a twelve meter tall wooden wall. It was only ten meters wide, but more than fifty meters deep. It could accommodate a few hundred people at the same time.
The roof was a canvas curtain, just like a small convertible car. It could be hung up to block the wind and rain, and could also be opened to welcome the sun and morning dew.
Around the hall, there were hundreds of round houses. It was like a shack dug out from a grave. There were even weeds and wild flowers growing on the grave.
"Someone has taken over the khal's palace."
Agg walked into the hall and found a centaur to ask. He then pointed at the Dragon Queen on the little silver horse and said a few words to the centaur.
Not long after, a thirty year old khal called "Dako" personally came to explain to Danny: He was a khal who had risen in recent years. He gave ten boxes of gold medals to the Dosh Kallin to get the palace.
When the khal died, his Khalasar was divided. His palace in Horse King City was taken over by the Dosh Kallin and the Dosh Kallin would distribute it to the khals who needed it.
If Danny had obediently returned to Horse King City back then and joined the old Dosh Kallin, she would have received a large portion of the 'demolition fee'.
"I know you, Drogo's Kali Xi, Slave Bay's Dragon Queen."
Khal Dako looked at Danny with a serious expression and said, "You don't have many people, so I can invite you to my palace to rest.
But if you want me to move, you have to get the Dosh Kallin to give me a new palace. "
"Alright, give me a place." Danny nodded and said.
— — After all, the entire Horse King City would be hers in two days.
Seeing that the Dragon Queen was so easy to talk to, Dako also let out a sigh of relief. He arranged for people to give Danny more than twenty 'tomb rooms'. Then he invited Danny and her Blood Alliance Guards to the wooden palace to drink.
If two Khalasars met in the sea of grass, one of them would definitely fall if one of them didn't take the initiative to avoid the other.
But in Horse King City, all the centaurs were blood brothers. They belonged to the same Khalasar and were of the same race, so there would be no conflict or vendetta. With the Megalosaurus in the sky and the shapeshifters' animal companions on the ground, she wasn't afraid that the centaurs would learn from the Westeros and lose their moral integrity.
However, Danny didn't want to sit on a brick bed and drink with a centaur, so she declined and said, "I still have to give the Dosh Kallin some gifts later."
Dako nodded and said, "Your declaration at the entrance of the market has already spread, I also know about it."
Dany's interest was piqued. She sent the centaur minion to set up camp while she and Dakota chatted in the shadows of the wooden hall.
"Do you think I'm qualified to become the steed that rides the world?" She asked.
Dako didn't directly answer this question. Instead, he said with a complicated expression, "I thought you would never come to Horse King City again. Only centaurs would come back.
I thought that even if you came back, you would ride a dragon and flaunt your prowess to the Goddess Mountain.
I didn't expect you to follow the rules like all the other khals. You rode a horse with a Khalasar and passed through the Horse Gate, taking the Path of the Gods. "
"If you want to break the rules, you have to follow the rules first. I know the rules very well." Danny smiled faintly.
"Yes, you know the rules very well, so you have a chance to become the steed that rides the world. Those who don't follow the centaurs' traditions, no matter how strong they are, will never be recognized by the centaurs. "
"Only a chance?" Danny raised her eyebrows.
Dako raised his big fist and shook it. He smiled coldly and said, "Actually, the biggest rule of the centaurs is this …"
"You are the wife of a khal. You didn't marry anyone else. You have owned and nurtured the purest Khalasar from the start. You follow the centaurs' traditions …
All of this can only give you the status of a centaur and the status of a khal.
In Horse King City, I will recognize you as my brother. Because of the number of bells in your braids, I will invite you to sit at the best table, drink the strongest horse milk wine, and eat the crispest roasted horse meat … "
Danny opened her mouth. She really wanted to say, 'Don't take advantage of me. How can a normal person be qualified to be called my brother?'
"But if you want to become the khal of khals, you must defeat all khals, their Blood Alliance Guards, and their heirs without relying on any external power. You must not use any dragons, magic, witchcraft, or powerful steel weapons. Under completely fair conditions, you must defeat all khals, their Blood Alliance Guards, and heirs.
Khal Dako shook his head and sighed, "If you want the centaurs to be convinced, you must defeat us using the centaurs' methods. But you obviously can't do that."
"Hearing you say that, I have an idea." Danny raised her small white fist and shook it at the centaurs, saying, "I don't lack this."
