Chapter 45 Magic Bird
Afterwards, the old Jogsnai boasted to Dany about the deeds of their ancestor Jahatar in destroying the Kingdom of the Jagwin Giants.
Dany was shocked at the time. Even the Kingdom of Giants was destroyed by you. This is against the will of heaven!
Especially when the zebras told her that the Jagwin giants were seven or eight meters tall.
"I heard from the maester that there may be giants outside the Wall north of the Great Wall, but they are no taller than four meters." Jorah was also not calm.
"You are snow giants, and the Jagwin giants are stone giants. Just like you and me, we are both human but different races, and you are almost half a body taller than me."
The old Jogsnai still spoke so wisely, and Jorah and Dany were convinced.
When Dany asked them in a tone full of reverence whether they had left any giant captives, the old man said: "There are only three in total, and they can't reproduce. Even if the giants surrender, they will have died of old age after thousands of years."
Three, three, three uncles, what did you say just now? Destroy the "kingdom" of the Jagwin giants!
Dany's expression must have been very interesting.
After boasting about the deeds of several outstanding Jahata, Dany felt that she had almost figured out the content of the zebra people's social system, so she asked about their religious beliefs.
"We believe in the Church of the Moon Singers."
The old man's first sentence surprised her.
The Moon Singers are the Moon Singers, and the witch Mirri learned the birthing song from the Moon Singers.
More importantly, Dany knew that the Moon Singers also had a very high status in the Western Continent.
"I heard that the establishment of Braavos came from the prophecy of the Moon Singers." She asked.
"Yes, when the Valyrian Freehold controlled the world, countless races became slaves, and the Jogosnai Plains were also under the influence of the Dragon King. The Dragon King is much more terrible than the Yi Ti Emperor. They have dragons." After saying that, he stared at the three dragons beside Dany's dining table with his eyes wide open for a long time.
"Alas, this is too wrong. I hate slavery the most. Under the Seven Gods, everyone should be equal." Dany seemed to be unaware and began to package herself as a believer of the Seven Gods.
The old Juggsner neither agreed nor disagreed, but his expression did soften.
He said, "Those Valyrians are simply crazy. They insist on mining under those 14 volcanoes. Those are active volcanoes with thick smoke and flowing red lava. Every slave who enters the mine cannot even survive for a month.
So slave ships from all over the world sailed to Valyria in an endless stream. About 800 years ago, a slave fleet had a slave riot in the Summer Sea. After the rebellion was successful, the slaves became even more desperate. Everyone knew that no one could escape. The vision of the dragon.
Fortunately, there was a group of Jugosnai slave girls on one of the ships. They were the Moonsingers from the Jugosnai Plain.
Through prophecy, they found a place that could serve as a refuge for the slaves: behind the pine-covered hills and sea reefs, there was a lagoon. There was fog all year round, which could block the eyes of the dragon king flying overhead.
So the fleet detoured north and headed towards the northwest end of the Essos continent, where was Braavos.
The prophecy of the Moonsingers came true, and the people of Braavos built the most magnificent temple for them to express their gratitude. "
"So, the Moonsinger's contribution is worthy of that temple. Well, I've been to Braavos."
At this time, Dany shifted her attention to another aspect, and casually praised him. She asked, "Do you know what the Valyrians dig in the volcano?"
"Red gold, gold, silver, and other minerals. Those Valyrians are so greedy that they finally dug through hell. It's retribution. The poisonous smoke and poisonous fire from hell destroyed the whole of Valyria."
Dany was a little disappointed. She thought it was some magical material, but it turned out to be just for digging gold.
She had to give up the useless fantasy and return to the original topic, "What role does the Moonsinger play in your tribe?"
The old man said, "Prayer, medical treatment, judgment, and anything other than fighting. Because of the Moonsinger's beliefs, we have killed each other from different tribes."
Well, this should also be emphasized.
"Alas, we Dothraki people should really learn from our predecessors." She said to the centaur.
There are too few audiences like Dany who are both noble and good at making jokes. The old zebra has never met one in his life. It was not until the moon was setting in the west and the middle of the night that he smacked his lips and stopped the bragging show that made him feel comfortable.
The next morning, Dany asked Ago to give the old man a red pony as a return gift.
The pony was born in Baiyun City and was only two months old. It successfully crossed the thousand-mile red wasteland, which was enough to show how high its qualifications were.
In the next few days, Dany received dozens of visitors. She found that in addition to receiving gifts, she also gained a lot of knowledge.
The world of ice and fire has different races, unique handicrafts of each city-state, rich and colorful products from all over the world, and people of all kinds of personalities.
For example, a widow of Qarth cried while offering her husband's mummified body.
The surface is covered with a layer of silver leaves. It is said that such a corpse has extremely powerful magic, especially because the deceased is a wizard, which is more effective.
Refusing someone's gift is far more rude than complaining in your heart, so Dany could only put on a stiff face and put the specially treated mummy into her treasure house.
Afterwards, the big merchant Xaro pulled her to a secluded place and discussed with her about buying the corpse.
When Dany curiously asked the reason, he told her without hesitation that the wizard's corpse was far more magical than the dwarf's life force. After special blood magic, the wizard could transfer its magic to other places.
For example, his own life force.
The fat merchant told her sadly that he started from scratch, from a waiter with nothing to the current thirteen giants, and paid a great price, a healthy body, a strong physique, and a young handsome face.
When he had no money but teeth, he drooled at the sight of big fish and meat, but he couldn't afford it. Now that he has money, his teeth are not good, and he can't eat the delicacies of mountains and seas.
Ahem, the kidneys of the Qarth merchant are not good, and his slug-like life force needs magic blessing.
"This is actually good for you." Seeing Dany's hesitation, he winked at her and said, "You know I have always been madly in love with you. Marrying me is also the best choice for you. My healthy body will only make the 'best choice' become the 'best choice'."
Well, now Dany understood that he was not winking at her, but flirting with her!
She was disgusted all of a sudden.
"I am not interested in the corpse of the wizard, but the poor widow," Dany hesitated, "that is her husband after all. If she regrets it, or suddenly misses her husband, and comes back to me to ask for him, uh, the corpse, what should I do?"
"No, a gift once given is like water spilled, and it is hard to take it back!" The fat head like a boiled egg shook left and right, "Besides, you are the great mother of dragons, Her Majesty the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms, the most distinguished guest of Qarth, and the lover I have been pursuing with all my heart. Why should I be afraid of an ordinary woman?"
"I don't like to use power to pressure people." Dany said lightly.
This guy is coaxing her like a child!
"Then just tell her directly that I love you, I want to marry you, and my thing is not working, and I need her husband's magic blessing. This is also considered to be making the best use of it. She should feel honored to help you. After all, this is also the original intention of her giving you a mummy!"
Xaro was shameless.
Treating that thing for him, is it considered helping her?
Dany wanted to slap him in the face, no, one slap would not make her feel better, she had to kick him 10 more times, and finally let Big Black, Little White and others spray dragon fire to burn him to ashes.
"How much can you pay?" she asked.
Xaro said, "According to the market price, it's about 200 brilliant coins. I'll give you 100. How about that?"
"We're all friends. Talking about money hurts feelings." Dany paused, and when his fat face showed a happy expression, she said, "Let our steward do the talking."
Only Jorah was capable of taking charge of this matter. She secretly told him that he must make a killing from that guy.
Since she rejected Xaro's proposals, both openly and secretly, she never ate stir-fried peacock tongue again.
After a few times, she went from reluctantly swallowing it to slightly appreciating it, and then gradually upgraded from appreciation to love. She finally cultivated a luxury hobby, but he suddenly cut it off.
Well, Dany couldn't afford that kind of thing with her own financial resources.
In addition to food, there were also many fewer servants than at the beginning.
For example, the number of beautiful maids who danced and sang for her at every meal was decreasing day by day. There were 24 at the beginning, but now there are only 4 left. It is actually very simple to conquer a woman who has never experienced prosperity.
As long as you have money, use it to let her live a princess-like life, and then let her know that only by following him can such a life continue.
That's why domineering CEOs are so popular. It doesn't matter whether they are domineering or not. The key point is that he is a "CEO".
There is no doubt that Xaro is also a CEO, and he also wants to subdue Dany in this way.
He certainly doesn't love her, but if he marries her, he can get her dragon.
Jorah told her that the Qarth people have a peculiar wedding custom. On the wedding day, the wife can ask the husband for a token of love. No matter what she asks for in the world, as long as he has it and he can do it, he must agree. And he has the right to make the same request to her. Although he can only ask for one thing, he can't refuse it no matter what it is.
"Xaro will definitely ask for your dragon. A giant dragon is enough to make his power rise to a higher level and become the sole owner of this city." Jorah said to her with a sneer.
A few days later, Xaro came to her excitedly, holding a pair of blue leather woven slippers in his hand, "Look at what this is?"
"Slippers." Dany couldn't think of what else it could be.
"Your persimmons have been received by the 'Opener of the Gates'. The last checkpoint leading to the Temple of a Thousand Seats has been opened." He shook the blue slippers and said proudly, "This is the invitation letter given to you by the royal family. It is their tradition to give blue slippers. You can wear them to meet the royal family tomorrow!"
The 'Temple of Memory' represents the clergy of Qarth, the 'Registrant' is an administrative official, and the 'Opener of the Gates' is the chief steward.
She did give a big orange persimmon, but at the same time, she also carried 5,000 gold coins into the butler's backyard.
