Chapter 82 Arrival at Slaver's Bay
When Dany regained consciousness, she found that the ship below her was as quiet as the ground, without a single turbulence.
She blinked, and there was a low wooden ceiling above her head. She was still in the big ship, so the ship had stopped?
Thinking of this, Dany couldn't help but want to get out of bed and go out to take a look, but as soon as she moved, she found that her whole body was soft, like a patient who had just recovered from a long illness.
Am I sick?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, the last scene when she woke up was recalled: I blew the dragon binder, but did not distort the little dragon's consciousness according to the Valyrian method, and then my eyes turned black and my nose bled, and I fainted?
"Hiss--"
Just thinking about it, three hideous "snake heads" came over, with a hot breath, very comfortable.
It was Big Black, Little White and Little Green. It turned out that the three of them had been guarding the bed.
Dany was very happy. Little White and Little Green really recovered as before. The vivid eyes of gold and emerald looked at her with a close emotion.
As soon as Dany touched their warm heads, she suddenly felt as if she had an illusion, and she struggled to sit up and shouted to the outside: "Jhiqui, Irri, Doreah!"
The three maids had been guarding the door, and when they heard Dany's call, they immediately ran in.
"Khaleesi, you're awake!" Irri was so excited that her eyes were filled with tears.
"Khaleesi, do you want some water or food? It's been four days!" Jhiqui asked, rubbing her red eyes.
"Khaleesi, we've arrived at Slaver's Bay and are docked at Aposta Pier!" Doreah held a porcelain basin and gently wiped her face while speaking gently.
"Four days, so long?" Dany was surprised and asked hurriedly, "Did the centaurs and sailors have any turmoil during the days I was unconscious?"
Doreah understood what she meant and immediately comforted her, "Your dragon has been guarding you. Everyone knows that you are just unconscious and nothing serious. They are just anxiously waiting for you to wake up, and there is no conflict."
"Khaleesi, your nose, mouth and eyes were bleeding at the time. It looked so scary. We all thought... Woo woo woo." The centaur girl Jhiqui started to cry.
"Hey, don't cry, I'm fine, I'm fine."
After washing up, Dany changed into a cheongsam and walked out with the help of the maid. She comforted Jorah and others again.
"That dragon horn is really a magic weapon, Princess, don't try it again in the future." After not seeing each other for a few days, not only Jorah had a scruffy beard and looked decadent, but even the handsome old man with white beard looked tired, and his snow-white beard was stuck with brown stains.
"Where is the dragon binder?" Dany did not comment.
"Put it in the warehouse on the bottom floor, you--" Jorah was anxious to persuade.
She waved her hand and smiled, "I'm not stupid, I just want to ask if the horn is damaged."
"Damaged?" He was puzzled, "Why would it be damaged? It's forged from dragon horns, and there are Valyrian steel hoops on the surface. It can't be broken even with a hammer, right?"
That's not necessarily true. At that time, she didn't use the correct method to untie the horn dragon. The series of lightning runes was probably a sign of the collapse of the internal structure.
And when Dany woke up and tried to enter the dragon spirit state to recover her body, she accidentally found a series of golden and red lightning-like runes in her sea of consciousness.
Even though it was the first time she encountered it, she understood that this was probably a witchcraft rune from the dragon's horn.
Dany really wanted to try whether she had the ability to use witchcraft, but reason told her that it was best to heal her injuries honestly in her current physical condition.
"When did we get to Aposta?" Dany looked at the tall red pyramids in the distance that looked like the tombs of gods, and her heart was filled with emotion. A nation with such a great civilization had fallen to the point of relying on slave trade as its main economy.
How high is the technological content of the pyramids?
Even in the early 21st century, scientists are still unable to determine how the ancient Egyptians forged them, and many people even suspect that alien civilizations intervened.
In fact, the knowledge involved in architecture, geometry, dynamics, astrology, etc. is too much and too profound.
Although the ancient Ghis Empire was destroyed by the Valyrians, the current Ghis can still build a 200-meter-high pyramid. It is said that the Great Pyramid of Meereen is 210 meters.
"We arrived at noon yesterday, and there were Aposta customs officials who came to ask us what kind of slaves we need." Jorah replied.
Dany asked him to inform the Aposta slave owner first: she wants to buy the Unsullied.
She rested on the boat for two days before stepping onto the dock for the first time.
Aposta is located at the mouth of the Worm River. Starting from the old and dilapidated dock, the dilapidated streets, the severely weathered city walls, and the pyramids in the city are all red.
Dany felt a little familiar when she saw it, because the Gith people in Aposta used fired red bricks. There was a brick factory near her hometown, which also fired red bricks. Every household in the village used red bricks to build walls.
In Aposta, the docks were built with red bricks, the streets were paved with red bricks, and the pyramids were also covered with a thick layer of red bricks. The whole area was full of rural red.
However, all the buildings were too old, and the red bricks had begun to weather on a large scale. A gust of wind blew, bringing a storm of red dust.
The fine red dust easily stung the eyes and made it difficult to breathe. The women in Aposta covered their faces with scarves when they went out.
They set off at around seven in the morning. For greater safety, Dany did not ride her own little silver horse, but sat in a large ox cart that Jorah had bought for her in advance.
Quaro, Aggo and Belwas stayed on the ship to guard the dragon. When they arrived at Slaver's Bay, Dany did not dare to let the dragon go out to hunt in the wild.
She was afraid that some people would try to gain the reputation of "Dragon Slayer", and even the big black one was chained.
Dany did not let the maid follow her either. Whitebeard sat opposite.
Ever since Jorah got the dazzling Valyrian steel armor, he has been wearing it every day.
Wearing armor, he can only ride with Jhogo and Rakharo to protect the ox cart.
The dock was deserted in the early morning. The wooden wheels of the ox cart made a "click-click" sound on the uneven red brick road, which mixed with the sound of horse hooves and actually brought waves of echoes.
"Are the Gith too lazy? The sun has been up for more than an hour, and they haven't come out to work yet." Dany looked out the window and wondered.
"Most people who come here are to buy the Unsullied. Merchant ships rarely come here. Without commercial trade, there is no need for dock workers and vendors. Who can the Gith work for?" Jorah replied.
"Oh, I see."
"Your Highness, your face." The white beard had been staring at Dany's smooth face, which looked like a freshly peeled eggshell. He was extremely suspicious and hesitated to speak for several times. Now he finally found a chance to ask, "I remember there was a dark red blood scab yesterday."
"Hehe, I have a guest today!" Dany happily stroked her smooth and delicate skin and said with a smile, "In order to recover quickly from my injuries, I roasted a fire for half the night last night. Fortunately, we landed, otherwise there wouldn't be so much firewood."
"Roasting?" The old man was more and more confused.
"Put it on the fire and roast it, like stewing sweet potatoes." Dany said.
"But wasn't your face burned by the fire?" Whitebeard was shocked.
"It was burned by dragon flames. Ordinary flames don't hurt me." Dany corrected.
"Well, I'll show you when I get a chance," she touched her face and said to herself that the old man didn't understand at all, "High temperature can speed up blood circulation and promote metabolism. It can also disinfect, remove mites, remove dead skin, fuel fat, slim the face, and tighten the skin. There are many benefits!"
"Moang--" A loud cry sounded at the car window. Dany lifted the curtain and saw an elephant with a lattice box on its back slowly passing by. In front of it was a Gis man with black and red hair standing up to the sky holding the reins.
Walking out of the dock and walking to the streets on the coast, the breath of life finally began to appear.
"Is it the Targaryen Queen of the Sunset Sea in front?" A stiff common language came from the crossroads in front.
Then there was a burst of rapid "crows", and a dozen horses came galloping. The red dust they brought up made Dany lower the curtain.
"This is Khaleesi of the Great Grasslands, Protector of the Seven Kingdoms, Great Mother of Dragons, Queen of the First Men, the Andals, and the Noynar, Her Majesty Daenerys." Jorah rode forward and shouted to the approaching knights.
The approaching knights had amber skin, and wore embroidered linen clothes, pleated cloth skirts, and leather sandals.
They wore yellow silk standard cloaks on their shoulders, and there were many shining copper plates sewn on the cloaks, reflecting countless small suns under the scorching sun.
These Aposta knights did not wear helmets, nor could they. They followed the tradition of the Gith people, and their red and black hair was oiled and stood up, and coiled into various strange shapes, with horns, wings, blades, and even grasping hands.
They were weird and had no beauty. Instead, they looked like the horns of evil spirits crawling out of hell.
"The good master asked us to pick you up at the dock. I didn't expect you to come so early." The leader said carelessly.
As he spoke, he poked his head out and tried to see Dany's face clearly through the gap in the curtains.
Seeing that he was so rude, Dany was slightly angry, but she didn't get angry. She just made a note in her little notebook and lifted the curtain to let him see enough.
Who would have thought that the guy would mutter in Valyrian: "No dragons!"
MMP, if you look surprised and say a few more words of praise, I will forgive you immediately, but now
"Which good master asked you to pick me up?" Dany asked with a smile without changing her face.
"Aren't you going to buy Unsullied? Of course, it's the good master Kraznys mo Nakroz." The knight said.
There are three major slave city-states on the east coast of Slaver's Bay, Aposta, which operates Unsullied, Kaiyuan, which trains bed slaves, and Meereen, which sells technical slaves and elite gladiators on a large scale.
Although they were doing the most heinous evil deeds in the world, the slave owners gave themselves shameless names: the great slave owner of Aposta was called "Good Master", the procuresses of Kaiyuan were called "Wise Master", and the owner of the slave gladiator of Meereen was called "Great Master".
The Gis people believed that cutting off other people's chirps was good, mastering the seven spring cry training techniques was called virtuous, and making humans fight bloody like beasts was great?
"We are here, this is Pride Square."
The Gis knight took Dany and her party to a wide square. The carriage stopped, and they got off and looked around. They found that the square was 100 meters long and wide, with a huge fountain in the middle.
The fountain was also made of red bricks, with a circular pool of nearly 40 square meters. In the center stood a 6-meter-high bronze statue of a harpy - a beautiful woman's face, long curly hair plated with gold, eyes and teeth inlaid with ivory, no arms, but a pair of bat wings, eagle legs, a heavy chain hanging from the claws, and a curly and vicious scorpion tail at the tail.
The yellow spring water with a faint smell of sulfur gushed out from the bulging chest of the Harpy, bringing a hint of coolness to the square under the scorching sun.
The Harpy is the god worshipped by the Gis people and the last emblem of their nation.
