When she saw You Lun again, Danny was shocked to find that the burns on his face had already scabbed over.
As a medical student, she knew how difficult it was to treat severe burns. Suppuration, infection, fever, inflammation …
If she saw a weak patient with a white bandage around his head that was soaked in reddish-brown pus and blood, she would feel that it was normal.
But You Lun actually walked over casually while dragging the heavy chains …
"How did your injuries heal so quickly?" She asked doubtfully.
You Lun's bright blue right eye looked at Danny's fair and smooth face and laughed: "Aren't you faster than me? Let's not talk about these useless things. Now that the ship has reached the shore, when are you going to let me go? "
"I was planning to release you immediately after you have recovered …" Waving to the centaur who was escorting You Lun, Danny ordered: "Release Sir You Lun's chains. He is no longer a prisoner."
The centaur looked at Chora, Whitebeard, Bevois, Aggo and the rest behind her. Feeling that Kalixi's safety was not threatened, he stepped forward without saying a word and deftly released the chains around You Lun's wrists and ankles.
"Jiqi, bring the new clothes I bought today for Sir You Lun to change into." Danny ordered the centaur maid.
You Lun tilted his neck and after stretching his limbs, he looked at Danny in confusion and asked: "What do you want me to do?"
She touched her nose and waved for Doreah to bring You Lun a small stool. When You Lun sat down with a doubtful look, she said: "It's not a big deal. I was planning to buy a batch of Immaculate in Aposta, but I don't have enough money —"
"What?" You Lun flew into a rage. "You actually sold me out? Selling slaves is prohibited in the Seven Kingdoms. "
If you were worth as much as a dragon egg, I would have sold you.
"Calm down, calm down." Danny pressed her right hand down and comforted him, "Don't worry, you're not worth much —"
This sentence seemed to poke at Crow's Eye's weak heart. He interrupted her for the second time and said angrily, "More than a dozen countries in the Jade Sea have put a high bounty on me. Are you saying that I'm worthless?"
Danny shrugged. "At most, a few tens of thousands of gold royals. It's nothing … Or, to you, a few tens of thousands of gold royals is a huge sum?"
"Hehe, that's right. It's nothing to you. After all, you've robbed me of a ship's worth of treasures!" You Lun sneered.
"To be honest, your ship's worth of treasures is only around 500,000 gold royals. It really isn't much. Robert Bella Theon's external debt is over 6 million gold royals. As the legitimate Queen of Children, I should be more ostentatious than him, right?" Danny said calmly.
"What extravagance does a king who has lost his kingdom have? I've heard that the people of the Free Cities all call your brother the 'Beggar King'. As for you … "You Lun clicked his tongue but did not finish his sentence.
'Barefoot Princess' was Danny Rize's nickname in the streets.
Due to poverty and the hot weather in Terosi and Mill's generation, Viserys did not have the money to buy shoes for his sister. Little Danny Rize often walked barefoot in the streets of the Free Cities.
"Your Highness, the Kingsguard has the responsibility to protect your dignity. Even if you pardon Crow's Eye's crime of regicide, please let me duel with him!" Chora held his sword with his right hand and stared coldly at You Lun as he spoke.
"Give me back my armor and I'll fight you with only one hand." You Lun rolled his eyes and mocked.
"Sigh, this was supposed to be something that could be explained in a few simple sentences. Now that you've interrupted, it's getting noisy." Danny rubbed her temples and said directly, "I'll sell the dragon egg you found in the ruins of Valleglia and the map of the Sea of Smoke.
Tomorrow morning, you'll come with me to the slave master and tell him everything about the exploration of Valleglia. After the deal is done the day after tomorrow, I'll let you go immediately. Your pirate brothers will also leave with you. "
"Is there a problem?" she asked.
"Yes." You Lun nodded and said doubtfully, "The dragon egg was not found in Valleglia. I robbed it from the Jade Sea."
"So, you lied to me?" Danny looked down and chewed on a big persimmon while mumbling, "The Jade Sea dragon egg is not unique. The Valleglia Dragon King's dragon egg is the only one in the world. Without a doubt, the latter is more valuable.
You said that you found the armor and the dragon egg at the same time in the governor's castle. Are you going back on your words now?
If you lied to me last time, our agreement can no longer be continued. Don't blame me for going back on my words. It was you who broke your promise first. "
"I remembered wrongly." You Lun immediately nodded and admitted, "The dragon egg was found in Tria. There might be more than one. I went in a hurry and did not have enough manpower. I did not even excavate the castle. If the Benevolent Lords were well prepared, they might be able to find the dragon's nest and Valleglia's steel armory! "
"Oh, if that's the case, I've lost a lot!" Danny wiped the juice from the corner of her mouth and sighed.
"Yes, the Benevolent Lords have made a fortune!" You Lun also sighed, as if he felt sorry for his queen.
"Here," Danny handed over a big persimmon, "It's very sweet."
Whitebeard and Chora looked at the two people chewing on the persimmon with a blank expression.
The third meeting with the Benevolent Lords was held in the Punishment Square. The Pride Square was the place to view the goods, while the Punishment Square was the slave training ground.
It was located behind the main gate of Astapor, which was equivalent to the "Meridian Gate" square of the Forbidden City. Rebellious and disobedient slaves would be punished or executed there.
The dock area where the fleet was located was located at the northwest corner of Astapor. To get to the Punishment Square, they had to go around a quarter of the city. Along the way, Danny saw the true appearance of the city of slaves.
More than ten tall and magnificent pyramids took up half of the city's land. The rest of the buildings were so short and dilapidated. The narrow alleyways were overflowing with sewage. When the fleet passed by, it startled a group of buzzing flies.
A naked little girl with a back that was peeling from the sun squatted by the overflowing red brick gutter to take a dump. The sound of horse hooves and wheels running over the uneven road startled her. The girl stared blankly at Danny and the others with her big brown eyes. Then she lowered her head and continued …
After passing through a small alley with low eaves, they walked along a red brick street that was close to the ancient wall of the city.
When they passed by the ancient wall, Danny saw a crumbling wall full of cracks. She was very worried that it would collapse towards her.
There was no bronze harpy statue in the Punishment Square. There was a huge wooden platform placed in the center.
Just like the gallows in the Western world and the guillotine in the Eastern world, rebellious slaves were tortured, skinned, strangled, and finally displayed on the wooden platform.
The first thing a new slave saw after entering the city was this platform.
Obviously, the benevolent lord was very proficient in how to train obedient slaves.
The ox cart stopped at the front of the square. As soon as Danny got off, she saw a little black girl in a gray linen dress waiting there.
The little black girl with a flat and round face trotted over and bowed in a way of prostrating herself on the ground. She said, "Your Majesty the Queen, the benevolent lord has asked me to serve you for the rest of the journey. If the transaction is completed, I will give it to Your Majesty as a gift and help Your Majesty teach the Unsullied the Westeros language. "
"Get up, little girl." Danny walked over and helped her up. She smiled and asked, "What's your name? How old are you?"
"My name is Missandei. I'm ten years old this year," the little black girl said.
Danny was stunned. Missandei was a very important and outstanding supporting character in the Game of Thrones. She was almost equivalent to Danny and Rize's "Shangguan Wan 'er." However, although Missandei was also a little black girl, she was obviously an adult.
At first, she was a little disappointed. She thought that the time was not right and she missed the little black girl. She did not expect the plot to change so much. Missandei was actually a child?
Danny touched Missandei's watermelon-shaped head and smiled. "I'm Danny Rize Targaryen. Do you know?"
"I know."
Approaching the wooden platform, at first glance, Danny thought that the slave on the platform was a special race with skin like a striped horse. But when she got closer and took a closer look, she found that it was not skin at all.
The slave did not have skin at all.
Like peeling an apple, the skin of the disobedient slave was peeled off in strips, like the curled apple skin, forming a "zebra" skin of different colors.
The slave was not dead yet. The bright red muscles under the black and white stripes were still wriggling irregularly. It seemed that the green flies and fat maggots moving between the muscles had triggered the nerve endings.
"What did he do?" Danny's face was pale. She pointed at the skinless man and asked.
"He was whipped for resisting. When the Good Lord asked him if he realized his lowly nature, the slave tied to the cross spat a mouthful of bloody phlegm at the Good Lord."
Danny pointed to another slave. One of his arms was covered with black flies from his fingers to his elbow. The rest of his body was intact, but he was not breathing.
"What did this man do?"
"He was a new slave, and when his master hit him with the whip, he raised his hand against it. The master smeared thick honey on the hand and then poured a box of long-horned ants on him … "
Missandei's little black face was a little pale. "The slave howled for three days and three nights before he died. The new slave did not dare to resist."
"Beast!" Whitebeard's eyes were burning with anger. The cane in his hand kept thumping on the brick ground.
"Let's go. Take me to see the Good Lords."
The pyramid behind the Punishment Square was 100 meters high, the tallest and largest building in Astapor.
While climbing the stairs, Missandei told Danny that the pyramid belonged to Graz 'dan mo Urho. It had 33 floors. The bottom floor had a prison, a slave lounge, a warehouse, a servant's living room, a storeroom, a study, and a reception room for the Good Lords.
This time, a total of eight Good Lords wanted to see Danny. They were the most powerful people in Astapor. Among them, Graz 'dan was the leader. Krazny, who had talked business with Danny before, was far inferior to him.
At the same time, Missandei also reminded Danny that five of the eight Good Lords waiting for her in the top-floor conference room were called Graz 'dan and two were called Krazny. When she called them, it was best to add their surnames.
Danny was suddenly confused. In her eyes, the Gith people with black and red hair and amber skin looked almost the same. Just like the black uncle in the eyes of the people of the Celestial Empire, they were completely indistinguishable.
Now that even the names were the same, what should she do?
