Chapter 45
Afterwards, the old Jogos Nhai man boasted to Dany about many of the deeds of their ancestors, including a Jhattar who destroyed the kingdom of the Jhogwin Giants.
Dany was horrified at that time, and even the Kingdom of Giant was destroyed by you. This is going against the Old Gods!
Especially after the zorsemen told her that the Jhogwin Giant was double in size of the giants of Westeros…
"I heard from Maesters that beyond the wall north of the Wall may exist Giant, but they can't be more than four meters tall." Jorah is also not calm.
"Those are Snow Giants, Jhogwin Giants are Stone Giants. Just like you and me are both human but from different races, and you're almost half my height."
The old Jogos Nhai man still speaks so wisely that both Jorah and Dany are persuaded.
When Dany asked in a reverent tone if they had left Giant prisoners, the old man said: "There are only three in total, and none of them can reproduce. Even if the Giant surrendered, thousands of years have passed they die of old age."
Three, three, three…
Sir, what did you just say? Destroy the Jhogwin Giant "Kingdom"!
Dany's expression must have been colorful.
After bragging about the deeds of several outstanding Jhattars, Dany felt that the content of the Dothraki's social system was almost clear, and she asked about their religious beliefs.
"We believe in the Moonsinger Church."
The old man's first sentence startled her.
Moonsinger is Moonsinger, Maegi Mirri's Song of Childbirth was learnt from a Moonsinger.
More importantly, Dany knew that Moonsingers also had a very high status in the western continent.
"I heard that the establishment of Braavos came from a Moonsinger's prophecy?" she asked.
"That's right, when Valyria Freehold controlled the world, countless races became slaves, and the Plains of the Jogos Nhai were also within the sphere of influence of Dragonlords. A Dragonlord is much more terrifying than the Yi Ti God-Emperor, they have Dragons." He still stared at the three dragons at Dany's table for a while.
"Ai, it's so inappropriate, I hate the slave system the most, under The Seven, we should all be equal." Dany seemed to have no idea and began to package herself as a believer of The Seven.
Old Jogos Nhai didn't agree or disagree, but his face did soften a lot.
He said: "Those Valyrians are just crazy, they had to go to the bottom of those 14 volcanoes to dig, It is an active volcano with thick smoke and red lava flowing, and every slave who enters the mine couldn't even live for a month.
So the slave ships that sail to Valyria from all over the world, such like river carp going down the river. An endless stream.
About 800 years ago, a slave fleet revolted in the Summer Sea. After the success of the rebellion, the slaves became more desperate. It is known that no one can escape the dragon's vision.
Fortunately, there was a group of Jogos Nhai female slaves in a boat. They were Moonsinger from the Plains of the Jogos Nhai.
Through prophecy, they found a place that could serve as a refuge for slaves Where: Behind the pine-covered hills and sea reef, there is a lagoon, where fog perpetually obscures the eyes of the Dragonlords flying overhead.
So the fleet detoured north towards the Essos Continent, then to the extreme northwest direction, there Braavos was born.
The Moonsinger's prophecy came true, and the Braavos people built the most magnificent temple for them to thank."
"So that's how it is, the Moonsinger deserves that temple. Well, I've been to Braavos."
At this point Dany turned her attention to another aspect after complimenting and asked again: "Do you know what Valyrians are digging in the volcano?"
"Red gold, gold, silver, and other minerals, those Valyrians were so greedy that they dug through Hell in the end, it's retribution. the poisonous smoke and poisonous fire from Hell destroyed the entire Valyria."
Dany was a little disappointed and thought it was some Magic material, but it turned out to be just for digging for gold.
She had no choice but to give up the useless thoughts and return to the original topic. "What role do the Moonsinger play in your tribe?"
The old man said: "Prayer, medical treatment, judgment, etc. nothing other than that. Because of the Moonsinger's beliefs, we never slaughter one another."
Well, this should be emphasized too.
"Ai, we Dothraki should really learn from our counterparts." she said to Dothraki.
Dany has too few audiences like him who is nice and good at making jokes. She has never met a horse man with age spots once in her life, and until the moon shadowed westward, and most of the night had passed, he slapped and smashed the table, and bragged in B-show like conversation that made her laugh.
The second day morning, Dany asked Aggo to give the old man a red foal in return.
The little pony was born in Whitecloud, only two months old, and it managed to travel thousands of miles across the Red Waste, that's enough to see how good it is.
In the next few days, Dany received dozens of visitors, and she found that in addition to receiving gifts, she also gained a lot of knowledge.
The Ice and Fire lands feature different races, unique handicrafts from each city-state, colorful products from all over the world, people of various personalities… eh, commonly known as eccentric people.
For example, a Qarth widow offered her the mummified body of her husband while crying.
The surface is covered with a layer of silver leaves. It is said that such a corpse is extremely strong, especially since the deceased is a Warlock, which is more effective.
Rejecting someone else's gift is far more rude than ranting in her heart, so Dany can only stiffen her smile and put the specially treated mummy into her treasure trove.
Afterwards, the big businessman Xaro took her to a secluded place and discussed with her to buy the corpse.
When Dany was curious about the reason, he told her without hesitation that a Warlock's corpse had far more magic power than dwarf blood, and that Sorcerers could transfer its magic power through a special Blood Sorcery method to other places.
For example, his lifeblood.
The businessman told her sadly that he is a self-made man, from a child who had nothing to becoming one of the Thirteen today, he paid a lot of money, a healthy body, a strong physique, a young handsome…
When he had no money and teeth, he saw fish and meat and drooled, but he couldn't afford it. Now that he has money, he can't eat, and he can't even taste the delicacies in front of him.
cough cough...the Qarth Merchant's kidney is failing, his lifeblood needs a magic blessing.
"It's actually good for you, too." Seeing Dany's hesitant expression, he winked at her and said, "You know I've been madly in love with you, and marrying me is the best choice for you. I have a healthy body and only make the 'good choice' become the 'best choice'."
Well, this time Dany understood, he wasn't blinking at her, it's winking!
She was disgusted all of a sudden.
"I'm not interested in that Warlock corpse, but that poor widow…" Dany hesitated, "that's her husband after all, if she regrets it, or suddenly misses her husband and comes back to me and asks for, er, wanting a body, what should I do?"
"No, the gifts that are sent, the water that is spilled, is hard to collect!" Xaro's bald head shined in the light. "Besides, you are the great Mother of Dragons, Her Majesty of Seven Kingdoms, Qarth's most honorable guest, and the lover I've been looking for with all my heart, why should you be afraid of an ordinary woman."
"I don't like to force people down." Dany indifferently said.
This guy treats her like a child!
"Then you just tell her directly, I love you, I want to marry you, my stuff can't work anymore. I need the blessing of her husband's magic power. This can be considered to make the best use of it, she should be honored to help you, after all, that's the original intention of her mummification!"
Xaro is shameless.
Doing it for him is helping her?
Dany wanted to slap him very much, no, a slap doesn't solve her hatred, she had to kick him 10 more feet, and finally let Big Black, spray Dragonflame and burn him to ashes.
"How much can you pay?" she asked.
Xaro looked like everyone was great, and said: "According to the market price, there are about 200 Honors, how about I give you 100?"
"Everyone is Friends, talking about money hurts feelings." Dany paused, and when his fat face showed a happy look, she added: "Let our stewards talk."
Only Jorah has the ability to take charge of this, she told secretly she, must kill that guy.
Since she rejected Xaro's secret marriage proposal many times, she has never eaten stir-fried peacock tongue again.
After a few times, she changed from reluctantly swallowing to slightly appreciating, and then gradually upgrading appreciation, and finally trained a luxurious hobby, but he suddenly cut it off.
Well, Dany can't afford that kind of stuff on her own.
In addition to food, servants are also much less accommodating than before.
For example, the number of beautiful maids who dance and sing for her every time she eats is decreasing, there were 24 at first, and now there are only 4 left.
To conquer a woman who has never experienced prosperity is actually very simple.
As long as you have money, let her live a princess-like life with money, and then let her understand that only with him can this life continue.
That's why the overbearing president is so popular. It doesn't really matter if he is overbearing or not. The point is that he is the 'president'.
There is no doubt that Xaro is also a 'president', 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 Qartheen has a peculiar marriage custom. On the wedding day, the wife can ask her husband for a token of love, no matter what she asks in the world, as long as he has it and he can do it he must agree, but he also has the right to make the same request to her. Although he can only ask for one thing, he cannot refuse no matter what it is.
"Xaro will definitely ask for your dragon, a dragon is enough to bring his power up a level and become the only master of the city." Jorah said to her with a sneer.
A few days later, Xaro found her excitedly, holding a pair of blue-leather slippers, "Look at what these are?"
"Slippers." Dany wondered waiting too find out what else it could be.
"Your persimmon has been accepted by the 'Opener of the Door', and the last level to the Hall of a Thousand Thrones has been opened." He shook the blue slippers and said proudly: "This is the invitation from the Pureborn. It's their tradition to send blue slippers, and you can wear them to meet them tomorrow!"
'Temple of Memory' on behalf of the clergy of Qarth, the 'Keeper of the Long List' is the Public administrative officer, and the 'Opener of the Door'.
She did send an official permission, but at the same time, five thousand Gold Honors were carried into the backdoor.
