Without waiting for Aston to answer the previous question, Chora said aggressively, "Let me ask you again, how will Illyrio arrange the princess's future? Contact the nobles of the seven kingdoms? Use his family's wealth to hire mercenaries? "
"The names of the Dragon and Targaryen will only incite those warring dukes to immediately put down their disputes and unite against the outside world. Perhaps there will be people who have expectations for Her Highness, but there will be even more endless assassins. Who can guarantee her safety?"
Chora's continuous questions left Grolle at a loss. This old sailor did not understand politics at all. The purpose of his trip was to bring Danny and Queen Liz back to Pentos.
But in theory, he was now serving the queen and could be considered a subordinate of the queen. This …
Beworth did not react at all and continued to eat his skewers. Protecting the little queen's safety was his job, and he did not care about anything else.
Whitebeard pondered for a long time before raising his head and looking at Danny with a determined gaze. "I swear on my life and honor that I will protect the princess's safety."
"Sigh!" Chora sighed and said helplessly, "As the queen's guard, I have already given my life to Her Highness. Her Blood Guards will live and die with her. But what is the point of facing the traitors of the seven kingdoms?
A mercenary team of 300 people can wipe out all threats. Do you think that Duke Tywin, whose poop is gold, will be stingy with that little bit of gold royals? "
Whitebeard's tall and burly body froze there, his lips pursed tightly as he asked, "What do you suggest?"
"Go to Slaver's Bay and buy the Unsullied." Chora said clearly.
"But the Unsullied are useless. My ship won't be able to hold them all!" Grolle sighed.
"Let's go to Slaver's Bay first." Chora did not say that he would sell the goods on the ship, or even your ship, for the Unsullied.
At this moment, Danny seemed to have finally made a decision. She gritted her teeth and said, "I have decided to listen to Sir Mormont's suggestion and go to Slaver's Bay. Are the three of you coming?"
"Wherever you go, I'll go," Bevos, the strong man, raised his head and mumbled with food in his mouth. "That fatty Pentos only hired me to protect you. Now, I'm your man!"
You damn eunuch, you can eat more than my dragon. Speaking so ambiguously, I don't want you.
Danny smiled and nodded.
"I am at your service," said Grollet.
"I'm Beworth's attendant." White Beard said.
Thus, everyone's opinion was basically the same. Regardless of the degree of loyalty, the three ships temporarily submitted to Danny.
"Shall I order a change of course?" Grolle asked her.
"Let me think about it." Danny asked Galloway to open the map and mark the approximate location of the fleet.
The speed of this big-bellied ship was not comparable to the sailing ships of the Great Voyage Era on Earth. It was only about eight knots.
Well, about 14 kilometers per hour, he could run more than 300 kilometers a day.
Of course, this was related to the wind speed. When there was no wind, the ship would just hover on the surface of the sea. When the wind speed was good, it could reach more than 10 knots.
It had already been three days since they left New Guise, and they were still a day or two away from crossing the Stormy Sea outside Valleglia. Now was the perfect time to turn to Slave Bay.
However, after seeing the ruins of Valleglia on the map, Danny remembered the majestic city of magic she had seen in the Immortal Hall.
She gently tapped the location of Valleglia's capital on the map with her finger and turned back to ask, "Has anyone explored the ruins of Valleglia?"
"Yes," White Beard frowned. "For nearly four hundred years, countless people have wanted to go to the ruins of Valleglia to search for treasures. The most common long sword of Valleglia's nobles is also forged from Valleglia steel, and the most common two-handed sword of Valleglia is also a priceless treasure today.
It is said that Tywin Lannister once tried to buy the clan sword of a destitute nobleman — the steel sword of Valleglia, but no matter how Tywin raised the price, the nobleman did not sell it.
I don't know how much Tywin offered, but with Lannister's wealth, it started at least 200,000 gold royals. "
"Cough, cough, cough …" Jorah Mormont seemed to choke on his saliva and coughed violently.
After a while, he touched his nose, his face flushed red, and muttered awkwardly, "No … not a destitute nobleman."
White Beard and Danny's four eyes widened as they looked at the exiled Count of Bear Island in surprise.
"Were you the seller?" White Beard murmured.
"I never thought of selling Longclaw!" Mormont refuted loudly.
"When I was at Lannister Harbor looking for a loan from Tywin, that fellow kept pestering me to buy a sword, but Longclaw is the clan sword of the Mormont family … My old man is not dead yet. If he knew, he would most likely return from the Great Wall and cut me in half."
If your old man had died, would he have sold the clan sword at that time?
Everyone had this thought, and White Beard looked at Jorah with even more disdain.
Well, just like how Mormont could not bear to see White Beard, White Beard also looked down on knights who had lost their honor.
"I'm afraid Linneth Hyder doesn't know about this, does she?" White Beard said sarcastically.
Mormont's eyes evaded and changed the topic, "It's not two hundred thousand. Tywin offered a sky-high price of eight hundred and fifty thousand gold royals, but I insisted on not selling, even if he threatened not to give me a loan … Later, I went to the Braavos Iron Vault to borrow money."
Eight hundred and fifty thousand gold royals?
10.2 billion RMB, this … was enough for that prodigal Jorah woman to chop off her hands for the rest of her life (Linneth: Hmph, you underestimate me too much).
Danny was dumbfounded, and the idea of going to Valleglia grew stronger in her heart.
Then another question arose in her heart, "Sir, even the Lannister family doesn't have a Valleglia steel sword, where did your Bear Island get it?"
Jorah immediately replied, "Lannister also has a Valleglia steel two-handed greatsword, Light Howl. More than a century before Valleglia was destroyed, King Kaiyan spent nearly two million gold royals to order it from Valleglia. "
Shit, Big Bear, please don't provoke me anymore!
Danny's eyes almost turned into gold coins.
White Beard seemed to have guessed her thoughts, and then warned, "After Valleglia was destroyed, the world coveted Valleglia's treasures and secret arts, and Lannister was no exception.
More than three hundred years ago, King Kaiyan Toman II formed a super fleet, known as the 'Golden Fleet', to explore Valleglia that was destroyed by the apocalypse. In the end, dozens of warships, thousands of sailors, and Toman II himself fell in the cursed ruins.
King Kaiyan's sword, Light Howl, was naturally lost in the ruins of Valleglia.
Just ten years ago, Duke Tywin's brother, Gillian Lannister, also went on a journey to find the family sword and never returned.
Other than Lannister, the closest to Valleglia was Valleglia's Valantis … They were the most orthodox nobles of the ancient Valleglia's Free Fortress, but they still did not return.
The painful experience of countless people tells us that it is a dangerous place. Your Highness, with your wisdom, you should not make such a foolish move. "
Danny's people and ships were naturally far inferior to Toman II, but she also had her own trump card.
"Astan, I completely understand your wise advice." Danny smiled at him gratefully, and then continued, "But I have a dragon. Our fleet only needs to stop at the safe periphery, and my dragon can pass through the dangerous sea and enter the broken peninsula."
"This …" White Beard was surprised and doubtful.
"This is worth a try." Jorah touched his furry chin and said worriedly, "But we don't know what dangers there are inside. If there is an accident, I'm afraid your dragon …"
"Why don't you let the dragon explore the ruins of Valleglia when it grows up and becomes stronger?" he suggested.
This was an old man's opinion, stable and reasonable. Danny had no reason to refuse.
"Dragons have three heads," she said with a sigh. "But there is only one dragon tamer. When the dragon grows up, the white and black dragons will become wild dragons. They will definitely not hurt me, but you …
They are still young and will not attack humans, but it won't take a few years, just one year … I can't watch them all the time, just like Blackie, he will always leave my sight to hunt in the wild.
I want to go to Valleglia to find the true secret of dragon taming, at least to stop the two dragons from eating humans. "
In the original plot, Danny and Rize's dragon ate humans, even little girls, and the three dragons almost became wild dragons. In fact, the white and green dragons were wild dragons that no one could control in the end.
"Can you control the black dragon? I think it can easily hunt humans now. "White Beard was worried.
"Yes, you don't have to worry about the black dragon at all." Danny said confidently.
It was because the black dragon once had the desire to eat centaur children that Danny was worried about the Megalosaurus eating humans.
She could feel Blackie's emotions. In Qarth, a centaur girl of two or three years old accidentally broke into her bedroom. Blackie was alarmed and immediately had the idea of eating her.
Danny was frightened at that time. For the first time, she realized that the Megalosaurus were legendary creatures at the top of the food chain, and humans were also a dessert in their diet.
Later, she asked Jorah.
Ser Jorah told her that the Megalosaurus not only ate humans, but also a few Targaryens.
Of course, that was the infighting of the Targaryens. One Targaryen fed another Targaryen to the dragon. Under normal circumstances, the Megalosaurus would not take the initiative to eat a Targaryen. If the Targaryen did not have the qualifications to be a dragon rider but insisted on riding a dragon, he would most likely be eaten.
Later, White Beard came. Danny saw that he was experienced and knew the history of the Targaryen family in detail, so she asked him for advice.
White Beard said that the Megalosaurus with a master would not harm humans. The most terrifying thing was the wild dragons without a master. They were rebellious and difficult to control.
He also told her a terrible example. During the time of the Dance of the Blood Dragons, the Targaryen family had more than 20 dragons. There were so many dragons that no one could tame three of them and they became wild dragons.
There was a wild dragon called "Gluttony" that was terrifying. Not only did it eat a large group of trained dragon knights (Targaryens or Valerians without dragons), it also bullied the weak by eating dragon corpses, young dragons, and dragon eggs.
So when he heard Danny's worries, even the most experienced and prudent White Beard was silent.
"You can only go near the edge and definitely not enter. That place …" Sighing, White Beard waved his hand and said, "When you get there, you will understand. I hope the black dragon is not hurt."
"I will." Danny nodded and asked Mormont, "Why is your family's Longclaw only 850,000, but Light Howl costs 2,000,000? Is the price of Valleglia's steel sword so fluctuating? "
