"That's all?" Danny raised her eyebrows. "The Gith have been selling slaves for thousands of years, and they have never met a decent enemy."
"These two reasons are enough to stop the Centaurs from attacking, and Aposta is located at Slave Bay. Meereen and Yuankai may have trade competition with Aposta, but they are definitely not enemies.
The hinterland of the east is almost all Gith of the same race, and the Laza in the east of the mountains are a different race. But they are 'shepherds' and are no threat. "
"If …" This time Danny pondered for a long time, and then slowly asked, "If slavery disappears, other than the Gith, who will suffer great losses?"
"Your Highness, what … are you planning to do?" Whitebeard was shocked.
"Me? What can I do? " Danny shrugged and smiled. "Anyone who participates in the slave trade is guilty. You said that yourself, I just want to know who else in this world is guilty of the most heinous crimes. "
Whitebeard stared at her for a long time, but he could not tell if she was joking or not.
"The slave trade is the most important part of the great voyage trade, and the cities of Quiles, Volantis, and Lys are almost entirely supported by slaves. It's not that no one has tried to end slavery, but … "
At this point, the old man sighed helplessly and said, "Your Highness, the Andals originated from the continent of Ursos, you know that, right?"
"I heard that they built a kingdom in the northwest of the continent in Andasno?"
The old man nodded and asked, "What about now?"
"There seems to be no trace of them," Danny said.
"The Andals and the Church of the Seven Gods originated from the continent of Ursos, but they are almost extinct on this continent, and in the Westeros, Andals is the strongest culture.
I don't know what happened back then, but the Church of the Seven Gods is a fact in this continent, and the Church of the Seven Gods is firmly against slavery. "
At this point, he asked again, "Do you know how Braavos was built?"
Danny said, "When I was in Quiles, I heard from an old Zebra man … Oh, a Jugesnai man, he told me. A group of Valleglia slaves escaped the pursuit of the Dragon King under the guidance of the Songster of the Moon, and built a water city at the northwest peak of the continent. "
"Yes, Braavos was built by a group of slaves. As the leader of the nine free trade city-states, Braavos was extremely powerful.
A hundred years ago, the Sea King of Braavos had fought with Pentos for more than ten years in order to abolish slavery. Pentos lost and promised to abolish slavery.
Does Your Highness know that there are slaves in Pentos now? "His white beard looked at Danny and asked.
"Yes, I've seen many servants wearing slave collars in Magister Illyrio's mansion."
"So you understand?" The old man smiled bitterly and sighed, "Unless the Seven Gods descend to the mortal world and stay there permanently, slavery will never be abolished.
Whoever dared to have such thoughts would be the enemy of the entire world.
Even the people of Braavos didn't really sympathize with the slaves. Instead, they fought for the right to rule the upper reaches of the Lohn River under the slogan of abolishing slavery. "
"I see …" Danny suddenly raised her head and asked, "Astan, how are your sword skills?"
"What?" The topic changed so quickly that Whitebeard couldn't react in time.
"I heard that the two sisters of Aegon the Conqueror were powerful knights. Visania also wielded the 'Dark Sisters' and saved Aegon's life from the hands of assassins?"
The Dark Sisters was also a Valleglia steel sword, an exquisite lady's sword. Its last owner was Blood Crow Blinden Riverwyn, one of the noble bastards (half brother of Daemon Black Fire).
The Mediocre King Aegon the Fourth cheated his descendants. The two swords of the Targaryen family were given to the bastards and were now lost.
"Uh, yes." The topic changed again, and the old man was even more confused.
"How do you think my talent is compared to Visania's?"
"Oh, you want to learn martial arts." The old man understood now and said happily, "I can guide you, and I can definitely train you into a powerful female knight."
As if afraid that Danny was not confident, he said excitedly, "Prince Rhaegar was obsessed with reading since he was a child. Many people were worried that he would become the second Saint Bailey.
Later, when he read something in a book, he suddenly decided to become a warrior.
At that time, he was not much younger than you, but when he trained hard, he quickly became a knight in the arena. "
"What did he read in the book?" Danny asked curiously.
"This …" Whitebeard shook his head and said, "I'm not sure. I only guess that it might be a prophecy, the one of Asor and Ahai. Perhaps His Highness realized his mission, for … Sigh, I don't know. "
Practicing martial arts to kill deviant ghosts?
Sigh, brother, you're thinking too much. You're not the warrior in the prophecy at all.
Hearing that she still had a chance to become an expert, Danny was both happy and suddenly hesitant.
If she could only make do as a third-rate swordsman, it was fine to follow Whitebeard as a knight. She could just treat it as training her body. But if there was a chance to become a first-rate expert, then she couldn't just make do.
She said, "I think a woman is more suitable to be a Water Dancer."
If the Westeros were a knight civilization, then the Nine Free Trade City-States were a sea-trade and assassin civilization.
The martial artists of the trading city-states all walked the path of the assassin, light and agile, proficient in stealth and hiding …
The Water Dancer was such a swordsman. Their swordsmanship was swift and deadly, emphasizing fast and elegant movement, stealth, and balance.
Legend had it that the most powerful Water Dancer could fight on the surface of the water without causing a ripple.
In addition, the strongest and most ruthless woman in Game of Power, Erya (Arya Stark), was a Water Dancer.
There was no difference between a third-rate Water Dancer and a third-rate Knight, but if they could reach the first-rate, weaker women were undoubtedly more suitable for Water Dancers.
After Danny explained her reasons, Whitebeard nodded and said, "Your Highness, you're very thoughtful. If you become a Water Dancer, your future achievements will be even higher. But the question is, why do you learn martial arts? "
"Well, to lead troops into battle and prevent being assassinated," she said.
"Then you should still become a Knight. The Water Dancer is an attack-type Assassin. On a chaotic battlefield, the Water Dancer's survivability is even worse than that of a normal Knight, because he doesn't have armor."
As he spoke, he pointed at Jorah and used him as an example. "The chief court swordsman in Braavos who is responsible for protecting the Sea King is the strongest Water Dancer. If both sides remove armor, he can fight ten Knights like Sir and come out unscathed —"
"Bullsh * t!" Jorah was furious.
Whitebeard waved his hand to calm him down and continued, "But wearing this Valleglia steel armor, Sir Jorah can easily kill ten chief swordsman.
If on the battlefield, 100 Knight Jorah wearing normal armor and 100 chief swordsman going up against each other, the knight can easily wipe out the swordsman. "
Danny understood what the old man meant and said thoughtfully, "You also said that the chief swordsman is responsible for protecting the Sea King. In the future, even if I go to the battlefield, I will ride a dragon, but the daily defense against assassins is more important. "
"I think the daily defense against assassins belongs to the Kingsguard, otherwise …" Whitebeard looked at Jorah and said lightly, "Otherwise, this Valleglia steel armor will be wasted."
Jorah puffed out his chest and looked at the old man proudly, understanding that he was still brooding about losing the armor.
That's right, if Whitebeard took the initiative to expose his identity, the armor would definitely belong to him.
"Princess, what the Sea King needs more is the insight of the Water Dancer. The Water Dancer is good at observation and can detect assassins in advance. You can learn the way of the Knight first, and in the future, when you meet a brilliant Water Dancer, you can learn the techniques of the Water Dancer from him. It's not contradictory, "Jorah said.
"Alright, I'll learn swordsmanship with Whitebeard tomorrow."
The next day, before the sun rose, around four or five in the morning, Danny put on leather armor, leather pants, and riding boots and went to the deck to practice swordsmanship with Whitebeard.
Without a specialized stance and strength training, Whitebeard first helped her adjust her center of gravity, then taught her the standard posture of holding and swinging the sword.
He said that when she could control her center of gravity in the process of swinging the sword, he would continue to teach her the steps.
When Danny asked if there was any strength training, the old man told her that she was already doing strength training in the process of swinging the sword.
At first, she didn't quite understand, but when the sun rose, she had already swung the heavy two-handed sword 300 times in a row, and the sweat flowing from her legs into her boots made her understand that the old man wasn't lying.
This really was strength training.
The knight's greatsword was so heavy!
When she finished her morning exercise, around eight or nine, she went back to her room to take a shower and change her clothes. When she was eating breakfast, two people from Aposta came looking for her.
They were clerks sent by Krazny to ask if they could estimate Danny's wealth.
This way, they could know her purchasing power.
Yesterday, Danny had asked the slave master to reserve the Unsullied for her.
Danny glanced at Grolle and smiled, "If I sell Governor Illyrio's goods, will he be angry?"
"This …" Blackbeard glanced at the Serenity not far away and said hesitantly, "Don't you have You Lun's ship of gold, silver, and jewels?"
"Maybe it's not enough." She smiled.
"How many Unsullied do you want to buy?!" Blackbeard was shocked.
"How many? I didn't hear clearly, that bitch … Oh, our good Queen, how many slaves do you want to sell? "Krazny stood up in shock and asked the little interpreter who was also in a daze.
Today, Danny and the others once again passed through the red brick street and came to Pride Square.
Krazny's pyramid was built here, and Pride Square was his "yard".
This time, his servant took Danny and the others to the garden at the top of the pyramid, about 150 square meters, covered in grass, and surrounded by persimmon trees and apple trees. The big golden-red persimmons and red apples hung together on the branches, looking very beautiful.
There was also a pool in the north of the garden, where one could soak in and watch the beautiful scenery of the harbor.
It was still the twin milk girls who fanned the slaves. He sat on a tall wooden chair with his back against the pool, like a throne. Danny sat on a two-meter-long soft couch opposite him, while Chora, Whitebeard, Jorge, and Jiqi stood behind her.
Well, there was also a maid holding a huge beige umbrella above her head.
"Master, Her Highness the Queen wants to buy all the Unsullied in Aposta, all of them." The little interpreter said after receiving Danny's confirmation.
