I Became the Mother of Dragons

Chapter 49



"As for Westeros…" Jorah said helplessly, looking dim: "I don't know if you should just give up the dangerous iron throne, but I deeply understand that the longer you stay in one place, the more easier it is for the enemy to find out. The name Targaryen scares the betrayers, especially after learning that you have dragons."

"Thank you for being so thoughtful for me, Ser." Dany sincerely thanked him, then looked him in the eyes, and asked back: "Westeros is just a dream to me, but what does it mean to you? Can I still have a completely trustable Queensguard when I am no longer Queen of the Seven Kingdoms?"

Dany never wanted too compete for the Iron Throne, and all her Westeros ambitions were meant to confuse people.

To confuse Xaro, to confuse the Qartheen, to confuse Quaithe, even Jorah Mormont is an important person to confuse.

Westeros is nothing to Dany, but to the Big Bear it's a home that can't be let go.

Jorah Mormont himself also cannot deny that his loyalty to Dany is partly due to her high hopes of restoring the Targaryen Dynasty.

Dany becomes Queen, and as Queensguard, he can wash away all his bad deeds, and return home with great glory.

"Daenerys, you can trust the loyalty of an admirer." He called her by her first name.

"That's the problem." Dany sighed, "If I still can't respond to your admiration, and I can't let you go home with honor, what's the point of your loyalty to me?"

"Your Highness, why are you so cruel?" Jorah smiled wryly.

Raising you in unrequited love is real cruelty, Dany thought.

"You are a reliable Knight and a trustworthy friend. I don't want to lie to you, so please don't lie to me." she said.

Jorah's face turned red at first, and he was very emotional, but when he heard the last sentence, his face suddenly paled, and he blurted out: "I haven't lied to you, and I won't lie to you."

You are deceiving me right now.

Today is such a good opportunity to confess. As long as you take advantage of the situation to reveal your identity of King's Landing undercover informant, I could forgive you, and this will end your time in the infernal torment, but why can't you grasp it?

Dany can entrust the safety of herself to the Queensguard, but complete trust will not exist… at least not yet.

"Ser, take Aggo to the Guild of Smiths tomorrow to order a batch of…leather armor." Dany originally wanted to say iron armor, but when she thought of the Dothraki's own situation, she immediately changed her words to leather armor.

First, their traditional views have not changed. Dothraki Warriors reject iron armor and believe that fighting in the iron skin is of cowardly act.

Secondly, Warriors of light cavalry do not have the combat literacy and awareness of the heavy armored cavalry. In short, the Dothraki have not yet added the "heavy cavalry" skill.

Thirdly, Dany remembered the bronze armor of the Civic Guards didn't use iron armor, which puts doubt on Qartheen's iron armor technology.

She said the above three reasons to Knight, "With your Knight literacy, choose a light leather armor that can defend against arrows. Well, you can add mirror armor to your chest and back."

"This…" Jorah hesitated for a while, then said: "Her Highness, you haven't participated in combat, I'm afraid you don't understand that no leather armor can meet your requirements."

Dany was called war illiterate by him, and she immediately became unhappy. It's true that I haven't been on the battlefield, but the dramas, and too a certain point historical novels, though haven't been read too much, but even iron pots can block bullets, boiled leather and cotton armor should at least resist the common types of bows and arrows, who doesn't know this?

"My requirements are very low." Dany said with a stern face. "I only want them too be able too block arrows."

"Of large-scale archers?" Ser Jorah shook his head. "The arrows made of the more iron on the tip can pierce through iron armor, even more how leather armor?"

"That should be very few, right?"

Li Guang could shoot an arrow through a boulder, but how many like that are there?

"Ai, let's just say, the Double Curved Dragon Bone Bow, and Summer Isles' Goldenheart wood Bow are the most famous. An elite archer using a Goldenheart wooden bow, can penetrate thin leather armor 400 meters away. But I understand your request. You hope Dothraki will charge into the rain of arrows, but at that distance leather armor really can't stop arrows. "

(P.S: This is in the original setting, Summer Isles Swan Ship is often equipped with a group of archers to defend against pirates, Goldenheart wood is the best material for making bows and arrows, and Cinnamon Wind Captain Quhuru is an archer who can hit enemies 360 meters away)

Dany asked with a slightly blank face: "Are you sure 400 meters is right? Not one person, but a group of people can do it?"

Jorah nods and says, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the docks and take a look. There are many merchant ships in Summer Isles, and each ship has at least one elite archer."

By the way, the Quhuru of Cinnamon Wind is from Summer Isles, but unfortunately, he should have been away from Qarth for many days.

The sea is full of pirates, and even if you can win after the boarding, there will not be too few destroyed goods, so a strong archer is necessary."

"Ai, so that's how it is…" Dany sighed in frustration and then said, waving her hand and saying, "Let's get a leather armor, with a layer of iron plate on the chest. Little protection is better than none. "

On the second day Jorah and Aggo went to the Guild of Smiths early in the morning.

It was an alliance of a weapons dealers and a large number of Smiths who make blades, and spears. Yes, they also have kitchen knives, hoes, and sickles, and they still have leather armor, saddles, and horseshoes.

The Khalasar's warriors are only in the 100s, and are only a small business transaction for the Guild of Smiths. Dany's order had been completed soon enough.

There is an interlude during this period, Jorah and Aggo have a fight over a helmet.

The Westeros Knight understands Dany's intention to protect her Warriors, so he chooses an extra item a "full body" iron helmet.

Well, it is a helmet with face shields, throat armor, skirt, and neck armor.

Wearing that kind of helmet, with thick and long braids on the back of their heads will be a huge burden, Dothraki don't like it.

The two quarreled at the Smith's shop, and finally got to Dany's place. She thought about it and asked the Smith to open a hole in the back of the helmet, You can put the braids out.

"It's ugly, and the more holes there are, the weaker it is." Jorah mumbles.

"Hey, that leather armor has weak spots everywhere, it's not too bad for this one." Dany sighed.

In addition to leather armor, Dany also ordered a large number of hand crossbows. Single handed crossbows wound by hand, and heavy two handed crossbows wound by foot.

Dothraki almost all have bows, but few hand crossbows. Except for Drogo's collection of a single handed crossbow inlaid with gold and black wood, no other Dothraki have a hand crossbow.

Dany equips each Warrior with two crossbows, which hang on both sides of the saddle, and one for the women, children, and the elderly. With this the Khalasar's attack power is more than doubled at once.

In addition to weapons, Dany also ordered a group of camels.

Her actions immediately caught Xaro's attention, buying weapons can be said to strengthen the protection ability, buying camels…that means you want to leave!

"Starlight ah, where am I not good enough? You are leaving so soon." The merchant wiped away tears and mourned.

"You were a hospitable host."

Dany hearing this also reddened, and said helplessly: "But I want to go back to Westeros, my people are waiting for me, the Usurper is dead, it's the best chance for me, but I can't get any help here."

"Oh, it's so sad." Xaro cried for a while, and seemed to ask casually, "My star of Heaven, are you going to ride a camel back to Whitecloud and then back to the Dothraki Great Grass Sea?" "

"Perhaps, if you are willing to send me two sea boats, of course I will go directly by sea. If there is no boat, I can only ride a camel."

Xaro pondered for a while, wiped away the tears on his face with a silk scarf with a rich perfume scent, and said, "My star, you don't have to worry so much, maybe things will turn around."

"What turnaround? The Pureborn have clearly rejected me, and The Thirteen, represented by you, have always let me down. Did the Tourmaline Brotherhood or Guild of Spicers change their minds?" Dany said curiously.

"No, no, no…" Xaro shook his head again and again with contempt, "They won't give you anything but compliments and lies. The Ancient Guild of Spicers is a collection of dissemblers and braggarts, there are curds between their ears."

"Uh, besides these few forces, who else in Qarth can help me?" "

"You remember the Warlock corpse I bought from you?" Xaro didn't answer the question.

Dany's pretty face was a little distorted. She had been paying attention to Xaro's magic before, so she told Jorah and Bloodriders about it and asked them to pay attention to Xaro

Jorah did not disappoint, and soon found out about Xaro's physical condition through the servants of the mansion.

Jorah said to her: "The one who helped Xaro perform sorcery is a Warlock of Qarth of small reputation. Urrathon nicknamed 'Nightwalker'.

After finishing the ceremony, some servants heard the cry of the little boy and the curse of the merchant from Xaro's room. I'm guessing it worked a bit, but it was nowhere near as good as expected.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether the witchcraft has improved his physical condition, anyway, most of the time he doesn't need it…"

Speaking of this, she felt contemptuous, all the admiration he said he had of you is a lie, he doesn't even like women.

I have noticed that his palace has a large group of young boys of all races in beautiful silk clothes, even Dothraki and Summer Isles. One by one, they are smeared and powdered, and their clothes are light, just like… According to the teachings of The Seven, Xaro will pay in the future."

Waking up from the memory, Dany carefully looked at the short and fat Xaro in front of her, his creamy and greasy face looked like freshly baked white bread, and his nose was embellished with Emerald, gold, and gems, matching him in color. The silk robe made him look like a fat bird with colorful feathers.

People, shouldn't look at it!

Could it be that the Warlock's sorcery is supernatural? she asked herself.

Xaro didn't notice Dany's strange expression, mainly because his situation was nothing in Qarth. Just like some men in modern society wear women's clothes, everyone is used to it, so they don't treat you differently.

"Effective, but must be combined with a Warlock's Elixir." He said eloquently.

Dany felt her stomach ache slightly, is this… is it the effect of the potion, or is witchcraft really at work?

"So what?" she asked.

"The Warlocks are regaining their power, and they are likely to regain their former powers again." Xaro facial expression went grave.

Dany sees what he means, and as time goes on, as Warlock becomes stronger and stronger, they naturally will become one of the most powerful figures in Qarth, if the Warlocks are willing to help her maybe…

"Maybe the Warlock lied to you, even if it were true, why would they help me?" Dany said.

"Try it when you get the chance, it won't get any worse anyway. "The Palace of Dust of the Warlocks is very dangerous." Xaro suggested. "That Grand Warlock Pyat Pree, don't get to close to him.

I know a more secular Warlock, Nightwalker Urrathon, who has a desire for money, anyone who loves money can trust me because I have money!"
