After the Battle of Winterfell ended, the reinforcements of Winterfell left.
Danny followed closely behind Erlu and brought her maids to the Great Wall to treat Bran's spine. Then, they set off for Slaver's Bay.
Little Green and Little White would stay on Dragonstone Island, while the Winged Dragon Legion was responsible for sending the Southerners back to Winterfell.
The next morning, Danny returned to the palace of the Great Pyramid of Meereen.
It was morning, but the sky in Meereen was like a winter evening at five o 'clock. It was not pitch-black, but it was dark and gloomy.
Without a lamp, the house would be pitch-black. Only by carrying a lantern could one walk on the streets.
What was more frightening than the darkness was the cold and the heavy snow.
"I've lived for almost forty years, but this is the first time I've seen such a cold day and such heavy snow." Earl Shackle shivered in his thick fur coat.
There was no fireplace in the hall at the top of the pyramid. When it was designed, the pyramid did not consider winter facilities.
"Earl, you should go to the Westeros and visit Winterfell. It's so cold that you can't even light a fire," Jici said.
"This is the long night. The world is eroded by cold and darkness." Danny turned to Blackie. "Is there any guarantee of heating in Meereen?"
"Previously, there were hundreds of thousands of convicts, and now there are sixty to seventy thousand captives. The long night is coming, and they can't farm. I've arranged for them to cut wood and burn charcoal in the northern forest," Missandei said.
"What about the civilians? They won't have a share of the charcoal, "Danny asked again.
As soon as she finished speaking, she laughed involuntarily. "The long night is coming, and I haven't appeared in front of the civilians. They're probably out of their wits and panicking.
Compared to firewood and food, it's more important to stabilize the people.
Missandei, make the arrangements. Tomorrow, I'll go to the manor outside the city for a field trip with the theme of 'Meereen under the long night.' Three days later, I'll give a speech in the People's Square about Slaver's Bay and the people spending the long night as one. "
"You're right. Even I'm at a loss for the future." Red-haired Lila, who was sitting opposite Earl Shackle, smiled bitterly.
"Your Majesty, what's the result of the battle at Winterfell? Could it have been lost? "Yimont asked worriedly.
If the goal of the Battle of Winterfell was to kill the Variant Ghost King, the Dragon Queen and the two maidservants would not be the only ones returning.
"It's not really a failure …" Danny took some time to recount her experience in the North.
It was mainly about deviant ghosts.
"By the Seven Gods, Winterfell is sealed under an ice mountain, two thousand meters high …"
Hearing the effects of the Forbidden Spell, White Frost, everyone around the conference table turned pale, their eyes filled with fear.
"If the Frost God comes to Meereen, how are we going to stop him?" The Earl of the Shackle asked in a trembling voice.
Danny had a strange expression on her face. "The Westeros are the frontline against the deviant ghosts. As long as the people of the seven countries are still fighting, the deviant ghosts and the God of Frost will not cross the narrow sea and come all the way to Slave Bay."
The count let out a long sigh of relief and smiled, "That's good, that's good! I've heard that there are many knights in the Land of the Setting Sun. With them in front of us, we can rest easy and wait for the savior … "
"Your Majesty, are you the savior?" He widened his eyes and asked curiously.
"I will save the world, but I'm not the savior."
"Isn't saving the world the savior?" Klein asked blankly.
Old Yimont said slowly, "The savior that everyone knows now comes from the prophecy of Asha six thousand years ago. The Queen is not the savior that Lahlo chose."
"Your Majesty, since the battle at Winterfell is over, there's still half a year to adjust. Why don't we deal with Jenny and the Dragon Worms?" Red Hair Lila suggested.
"It's snowing heavily these few days. Do the Dragon Worms dare to come out?" Danny asked.
Lila shook her head and said, "The sun disappeared completely three days ago, and it started snowing in Meereen. I'm not sure if it's because the weather suddenly turned cold, or if Jenny is adjusting her guerrilla warfare plan.
She failed in the previous few attacks, so she might have noticed the existence of spies. "
In this era, normal people did not have the ability to store food for a long time (three years or more). Therefore, in the villages that were far from the city, they would usually build public granaries that were managed by the government.
Because of this, Jenny planned to use the Dragon Worms to destroy the granaries.
However, the previous few attacks were not effective. The burned villages were not only empty, the food was moved, and there were also pterosaur knights ambushing them.
The Dragon Queen had more than fifty pterosaurs, and only forty were sent to the Westeros. The rest were in Meereen, preparing to deal with Jenny's Dragon Worms.
In the half a month before the sun completely disappeared due to the confrontation between R'hllor and the God of Frost, Jenny had attacked three villages. Four dragon worms had died, and seven or eight cylindrical warehouses had been destroyed, but not a single grain of rice had been burned.
Even the Centaurs who acted as couriers outside the villages guessed that there was a spy by Jenny's side.
Indeed, "Prince Leo" arranged for one of his subordinates to fake his death and leave the Dragon Worm Cave, revealing Jenny's plan to Meereen.
.....
"Ah, you, you, you are the Dragon Queen?!!!" The young spy had just entered the palace with the Unsullied guards when he pointed at the Dragon Queen on the throne and exclaimed.
"This is Her Majesty the Queen, do not be rude!" The red-haired Lila scolded loudly.
"I, I thought …" The young man wanted to say something, but when he met the Dragon Queen's puzzled eyes, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Forgive me, Queen, forgive me, Lord Amber, I mistook you for someone else. The Queen looks like a kind person I met before."
The young man had blonde hair and blue eyes, with obvious characteristics of the Loynar tribe. He was twenty-four or twenty-five years old, barely over 1.6 meters tall, thin as a bamboo pole, but with an exaggeratedly long freckled horse face.
Danny stared at him and frowned for a while before she suddenly remembered the identity of the person who knelt.
"You didn't mistake me for someone else, but you used a fake name, so I didn't recognize you immediately." Danny smiled.
"Ah, you're really Miss Lila, you've become the Queen? Oh no, you were a spy in Volantis. "The long-faced young man suddenly looked up and was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
"Aren't you called Cadillac, why did you change your name to 'Dick'?" Danny asked curiously.
This young man was the elephant coachman that Danny and Old Bart met when they were touring Volantis.
At that time, Cadillac had a wheel tattoo on his right cheek that represented the coachman's identity as a slave. Now that the tattoo had been cut off, leaving a scar, and even his name had been changed, causing Danny to not think of him as a former coachman.
"Dick is the new name that Prince Leo gave me. He said that 'Cadillac' is a mark that the slave owner left on me, and should have been removed along with the tattoo," the long-faced young man said.
Danny's mouth twitched a few times. "That guy seems to be able to get along well with anyone … A few words and a new name, and you were fooled."
Cadillac did not know what was going on, and could only confess blankly, "Prince Leo said that the alliance had already lost, and we couldn't be buried with Priestess Jenny, so surrendering was the best choice.
He even took me in as a servant, and promised to bring me back to Koh Chang Island after we're free. He gave me a piece of land, a noble's daughter as my wife, and twenty elephants.
I said that I had a wife, so he gave me a name and surname, Dick Tywin. "
"Hehehe …" Danny could not help but laugh, and so could Old Yimont. The two of them laughed until Dick Tywin, who was below, was at a loss for what to do.
After laughing for a while, Danny asked curiously, "Did you know that I purposely hid the gold coins in the copper coins that day? (PS) "
Dick Tywin's face turned green and red, and his eyes flickered.
Danny was deep in thought, and the smile on her face disappeared. "You thought that I made a mistake, and you were afraid that I would ask for the money back, so you didn't come looking for me?"
When they met in Volantis that day, this elephant coachman showed amazing skills in driving elephants, and he was also very smart. He was respectful to the Dragon Queen, who used the alias "Priestess Leila".
More importantly, he admired the Dragon Queen, who freed the slaves.
Therefore, Danny decided to give him a chance. When paying for the carriage, she purposely mixed five gold coins in the handful of copper coins.
She waited for Cadillac for a few days, waiting for him to come to the Merchant's House Hotel to find her.
No matter the reason, whether it was because he did not pocket the money he found, or because he was smart enough to guess her intentions, as long as he went, she would take him away.
There were elephants in Slave Bay, and she could always arrange a suitable place for him.
But she did not see him.
Dick Tywin's face turned pale. He prostrated himself on the ground and begged, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!
When I found the Gold Radiance Coin in the copper coins, I immediately had two guesses. The biggest possibility was that you purposely rewarded me with the Gold Radiance Coin for some purpose. The other possibility was that you didn't care about money and put the Gold Radiance Coin in the wrong pocket.
I know I should go back and find you, but … "
Dick Tywin pressed his face against the carpet and choked out, "Five gold coins can change my fate. I don't want to be a slave. I want freedom. Only by becoming a free citizen can I marry Dana.
I'm afraid. Even if the possibility is very small, if you ask me for the five gold coins, I, I … "
"Get up." Danny raised her right hand and said gently, "The gold coins are a gift from me. You didn't steal them or rob them. What crime are you guilty of?"
She was really not angry.
She was the one who gave the gold coins to Cadillac. Cadillac's choice was up to him, and his choice would determine his fate. Dani did not want to get anything from him.
She was just giving him a gift. His actions determined how much she gave him.
Clearly, Cadillac's choice was not the best. He only received five gold coins from her.
Well, although he missed the chance to become Dragon Queen's follower, he was now in contact with the dwarf. He even received the promise of Koh Chang Island and 20 elephants. His luck was not bad.
"How did you come to Slave Bay?" When Dick Tywin got up, Danny asked again.
"I secretly gave the five gold coins you left me to Dana. The elephant cart was owned by her uncle, and he sold me easily. Then, she gave me freedom and married me.
Our marriage was not blessed by her family, but we could make a living. I can ride an elephant, and Dana made meat pies with her mother at Kelly's Meat Pie Shop since she was young.
So, we used the rest of the money to buy an elephant and a barbecue cart that was converted from an elephant cart. We sold meat pies on the streets of Volantis.
Those were the happiest days of my life … "
At the end, the young man's long face was filled with sorrow and nostalgia.
"Uncle, Kelly's Meat Pie …" Danny chewed on these two words. They seemed to trigger a memory in her.
