The next game was announced after the corpses were cleaned up. The first wave of contestants was a group of Gujis on chariots. The leader wore an exaggerated ceremonial helmet of the Gujis Legion Commander. The bronze helmet was covered with colorful feathers. His subordinates were bare-chested and held black whips more than ten meters long.
Missandei said that they were the long whips of the Gujis Legion, and they used the whips in their hands to manage thousands of slaves in the empire.
Then came a wave of people wearing gorgeous black armor. Danny guessed that they were just imitating Valleglia's Dragon King without the little translator's explanation.
The last Gujis to enter the arena had a golden shield in their left hand and a golden short sword in their right hand. They wore a spiked golden helmet, golden sleeveless leather armor, black leather shorts, and golden boots. They looked a bit like the Unsullied, but more exquisite.
When the golden people came out with the chariots, the audience cheered thunderously, and even the benevolent lords stood up and bowed.
"They are the Gujis Golden Warriors, the strongest warriors of the legion, the foundation of the Gujis Empire to dominate the continent … Alas, fake, imitation." Chora waved his hand, a look of disdain on his face, and mocked: "The sons of the harpies are immersed in the glory of the old empire, but they forget that the Gujis Empire has been destroyed for 5000 years."
However, Dani became excited and said excitedly, "Could it be that they are also going to duel?"
"Yes, look …" Chora pointed to the center of the arena, where three chariots were leaning together, and several Gujis warriors were solemnly handing over gold-lacquered parchments to each other.
He said: "They are simulating the ceremony of exchanging letters of challenge before the city-state war of the Gujis Empire, and the battle will start soon."
"Great, watching the Gujis kill each other is more exciting than the slave gladiators." Danny lowered her voice and laughed.
It would be best if all the Gujis died. Well, it would be best if the eight benevolent lords came personally!
Chora sneered. "Your Highness, how can the slave owners have the courage to participate in the gladiator battle now? You see. "
In the enthusiastic cheers, three Gujis' generals' held up the parchments and drove the chariots around the arena three times, and then they withdrew from the tunnel one by one.
On the other side, three cages creaked open at the same time, and three groups of bare-chested warriors wearing cloaks of different colors walked out.
Each team had about 50 people. The colorful cloak represented the Commander of the Gith Legion, the black cloak represented the Dragon King of Valleglia, and the yellow cloak represented the bravest Golden Swordsman of the Gith Legion.
Then, 150 people fought with spears, short swords, Arak scimitars, and long whips in the narrow arena.
He was so brave and fierce that he didn't care about his life at all. It was as if his life and the lives of others weren't even worth a copper coin.
It was even crueler than the previous 10vs10. The previously dry land had completely turned into a swamp. It was not an exaggeration, it had really turned into a muddy land after the rain.
The audience of Guise on the top seemed to have entered an inexplicable state of fanaticism. They were not watching people killing each other. Instead, they had traveled back in time 5,000 years and became a member of the Guise Army. They had conquered the Freedom Fortress of Valleglia, trampled on the Loylnath Wizard, and the Andals Knights had wailed under their swords. 300 Megalosaurus had died on the spot …
It was really a hot blooded sport.
Danny's agitated heart calmed down inexplicably. Everything around her was so real and illusory. Things were really happening, but she entered the perspective of God with the mentality of watching a movie story.
"This is hell. Let's go back." Suddenly, she stood up and said to Chora and the others.
She noticed the expression of her followers. Only Whitebeard and Chora looked unbearable. Missandei's face was pale, but Bevois and the centaur were watching with great interest.
Even Jiqi and Irri were affected by the atmosphere. They shouted excitedly and their cheeks were flushed.
"Indeed, we should leave. This place shouldn't exist in the world at all." Whitebeard agreed.
The benevolent masters didn't care about Danny's departure. Krazny and another benevolent master even laughed at her for being weak and stupid.
The fighting in the colosseum was too bloody. Danny didn't eat a single bite of the food sent by the slaves at noon. Whitebeard and Chora didn't eat either. Instead, it was Bevois who ate heartily. Like the benevolent masters, the blood below seemed to have become seasoning, whetting their appetite.
When they returned to the ship, it was already close to evening. Danny ate some fruits and white bread to fill her stomach. She took a bath and fed the three dragons dinner.
The sky was still dark, but she went back to her room to rest.
Lying on the bed, Danny tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Scenes of what happened in the colosseum during the day appeared in her mind. Then, she thought of the Unsullied One whose expression was as hard as a rock. Even the scene of the Unsullied One killing puppies and babies appeared before her eyes.
Finally, she thought of what she was going to do tomorrow and the day after tomorrow …
She kept tossing and turning. Her movements were so big that she didn't know when she woke up Irri beside her.
Hmm, the centaur maid had watched a big show today. She was satisfied and full. As soon as she lay on the bed, she began to snore.
"Kalixi, you can't sleep?" She asked.
In the darkness, Danny softly replied with an "Hmm".
A moment later, the centaur maid hesitantly reached out her hand and asked, "Do you need my help?"
"Help with what?" Danny was puzzled.
"I learned some skills from Doreah. I can please you." She said as she reached her small, calloused hand into Danny's blanket.
After being stunned for a moment, Danny finally reacted. She blushed and dodged to the side. She said, "Hey, not that. I was thinking about what happened in the colosseum."
Zhuo Ge's blood guards were dead. The other centaurs didn't dare to touch Danny's maids. The three women were not used to being alone for a long time. Sometimes, Danny would see Doreah and them …
"Oh, what happened in the colosseum?" Irri's voice was calm. There was no awkwardness or shyness from being rejected. It was as if she was asking, "Kalixi, do you want some water?"
Danny complained about the centaurs in her mind. She said, "Humans should have a bottom line. The yearning for beautiful things is the trait that separates humans from beasts. Kindness and compassion are the most beautiful traits of humans. But today, I realized that too many people are not like humans. "
After a pause, Irri said softly, "I don't know who my father is, but I have a mother and brothers. They all died under the scimitar of Khal Drogo's roaring warriors. But after becoming your maid, I completely treat myself as one of your people.
In my heart, this is the law of the world. We have all been like this. I don't know how to make it better. "
Irri, Jhiqui, Quero, and Kalalo were not people of Khal Drogo's Khalasar. After their Khalasar was destroyed by Khal Drogo, they became Khal Drogo's half-slaves. Their status was higher than slaves, but lower than official subordinates of the Khalasar.
Later, Danny Liz married Khal Drogo and the four of them joined her little Khal Drogo. Only then did they become Khal Drogo's' household register '.
"I know what kind of world is better. I also plan to change the world now," Danny said.
"I believe in you, Khaleesi. You are the Mother Of Dragons, the Immortal, the One of Miracles blessed by the Horse God," Irri said as she held her hand.
After that, the two of them did not speak. Less than three minutes later, the centaur maid's breathing became heavy again.
Danny's eyes widened as she looked at the dark ceiling. She heard the faint creaking of the wooden hull, the sound of the waves hitting the hull, and the sound of footsteps on the deck above her.
In the silence, she suddenly heard the breathing of a third person. Startled, she sat up and looked into the darkness. She whispered, "Doreah? Jhiqui? "
"They are asleep," a woman said. "They are all asleep."
The voice was very close to the bed. It was almost standing beside the bed and looking down at Danny.
"Shit, Kui Xi?" Dani recognized the owner of the voice and was shocked. "Why are you here in Astapor? Where are my guards? Didn't they stop you? "
"It's me." Quero seemed to have walked a few steps closer. Danny could vaguely see an extremely blurry figure in the darkness.
"This afternoon, when I was meditating, I once again foresaw a major event that would change the world. I saw your figure standing in the midst of blood and fire. Beneath your feet was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood." Quero said calmly.
Danny's face changed. She asked in a trembling voice, "What did you know?"
This world's prophecies are really f * cking disgusting. I only had a vague thought in my mind and you were already touched? (PS)
"I don't know anything. I don't understand, so … can you tell me?"
Quero's words made her sigh in relief.
"I don't even know the basics of meditation. How would I know anything about prophecies?" she said.
In the darkness, Danny felt that Quero was sizing her up. When she was about to ask how to break through the guards again, Quero spoke.
"Danny, Liz, you must remember this. To go to the north, you must go south. To go to the west, you must go east. If you want to go forward, you must go back. If you want to see the light, you must go through the shadows. "
Quero's voice became weaker and weaker. The last sentence was almost inaudible.
Danny's heart skipped a beat. She shouted, "Dahei, light the lamp."
The sound of chains being dragged came from the corner. The black dragon slowly woke up from its deep sleep. Its dark red eyes were like two luminous pearls. "Hiss —"
Dahei opened its mouth slightly and spat out a thin flame. The darkness in the room was immediately dispelled by the flame. Danny looked around and shuddered. The door was closed and the bolt was firmly fastened. However, there was no trace of the woman with the red lacquer mask in the room.
Murder in a locked room?
Oh, no. Theft in a locked room? Breaking out of a locked room?
How did Quero get in? How did she leave?
"Oh my God!" Danny suddenly patted her forehead and whispered, "Damn, it's probably a glass candle!"
If scientific methods could not explain it, it could only be magic. Glass candles seemed to have the effect of cross-realm communication and projection.
Even if it was not a glass candle, it was a similar witchcraft.
In order to verify her idea, Danny lifted the blanket, put on a coat and opened the door to take a look. Doreah and Kiki were sleeping on a low couch in the outer room. There were four or five Centaur Warriors patrolling the corridor and the top deck.
Danny also saw that Whitebeard had placed a sleeping bag at the entrance of the cabin. When he heard footsteps, the old man immediately woke up.
"Your Highness?" Whitebeard sat up and asked.
"It's me. Did you see Quero?" Danny asked.
"No one came in. I can hear the identity of a stranger from the footsteps." The old man confirmed.
Danny's bedroom was originally the captain's room. It was located in the innermost room on the third floor of the cabin. There was only one way in and out, and Whitebeard slept on the side of the road.
"Sigh, Quero came to find me." Danny sighed.
