Groleo's captain's cabin is more spacious than Dany guessed, at 30 square meters. She asked the sailors to remove the desks, chairs, sofas, boxes, and other sundries leaving only a double bed and an open space.
"My dragons will live with me," she said to Blackbeard.
"But this room is too small to fit three huge iron cages!" Blackbeard wondered.
"You still have the cages? You don't need it." Dany said, looking around the cabin, "I'll take the chains off their necks after leaving Qarth."
"In case of a fire…" Blackbeard hesitated, looking bitter, "the Palace of Dust and it's stone walls, were all burned to a ashy ground by your dragons, a wooden boat and cloth sails is easier to ignite."
Dany frowned and avoided a pool of dry vomit as they moved, asking casually, "Have you heard of Dragon Visiting?"
"What? What is "Dragon Visiting"?" Blackbeard asked in confusion.
Whitebeard, who was behind him, was startled and shouted: "There are rumors on the docks that the Black Dragon of Her Highness drew a picture for a merchant from the Summer Isles, when he visited you, your dragon drew the scene in detail. The businessman called it 'Dragon Visiting' and I thought he was drunk and bragging…"
"Oh, I've heard that too." Blackbeard was stunned at first, and then he said in disbelief: "I also heard that the Black Dragon sings and recites poems for visitors. It's all nonsense. Whoever believes that is an idiot."
"Ai, a Dragon's throat can't make human sounds, it's true about there being no reading of poetry, since no one can understand them except me, this rumor is false." Dany shook her head.
Blackbeard and Whitebeard were horrified by hearing this. She said so in a disguised admitting the rumors of "Dragon Visiting"?
"It's true, there were a lot of people there, and I've seen the Black Dragon paint more often." Jorah's chin was lifted slightly, and he said so with a proud expression.
Dany concludes: "I can get the dragons to paint, and I can restrain their behavior…at least so they won't burn your boat."
"Ok.."
It took more than an hour to move everything, Dany looked from the deck to the bottom of the cargo yard, where all kinds of dirty, messy, and rundown items with rats and cockroaches rampant in it, thrown away spoiled clothes, and a layer of mud scab hardened over…
Back to the bridge, she said: "The rest room of the crew is too dirty and must be cleaned regularly, otherwise it will spread diseases."
"There will be a big cleaning before departure." Blackbeard nods and said.
"Buy a batch of rye to put in the bilge, I have 80 horses," she added.
"Isn't it unnecessary?" Blackbeard folded his hands over to settle accounts for her, "A good horse can only be two Golden Dragons at most, but it and the food that feeds it take up a lot of space. If you exchange it for storing spices and gems, you can get at least 30 Golden Dragon in profits.
And the sea voyage is long, and animals die very easily… It is better to sell them all in Qarth and in return you can buy as many horses as you want in Pentos."
If you really go to Pentos, then his statement is completely correct, not to mention the issue of profit margins, if 80 horses travel tens of thousands of miles by sea, arriving with 40 horses is God's blessing.
"My horses are very special. They are not afraid of Dragons, and their endurance and impact are twice that of ordinary horses." Dany explained that.
Whitebeard exclaimed: "You feed the horses with dragon dung?"
Dany looked at him in surprise, "You know?"
The old man was with a complicated look and said: "It is said that when the dragon was not extinct, House Targaryen had a horse farm on the south bank plains of Blackwater, specially for raising Dragon Horses. Legend has it that powerful Knights who are not skilled in riding can't tame them, but every generation of Kingsguard has a Dragon Horse that belongs to them."
"You're boasting!" Ser Jorah disagreed, "You southerners probably rarely meet it, but when it comes to sayings the Shadowcat is the overlord of the lands, with the sharp claws of a leopard, the dexterity of a cat, the power of a tiger, the strength of a bear, and it is bigger than a horse."
"Since there is such a legend, there must be a reason..." Whitebeard indifferently said.
"Hehe..." Jorah smiled and said nothing.
Dany glanced at the two of them, and asked Blackbeard Groleo, "Do you carry fruit? For the watermen."
"There are lemons and oranges for at sea. Not eating fruit will be cursed by the devil." Blackbeard said naturally.
It seems that although this world is more primitive, but it has thousands of years of maritime history, allowing people to conclude a mature set of wisdom for survival at sea.
At noon, as the news of the arrival of the Mother of Dragons spread, the merchants and captains on the ships near the pier all came to see Saduleon, until Aggo went down and shouted to them "the Mother of Dragons did not bring the dragons today! Don't disturb her!" The crowd dispersed temporarily.
It's only temporary. On the morning of the second day, after Dany settled in Saduleon with the grandiose group of Dothraki, dragon seekers would come to the pier in an endless stream to see her.
Today is the last day, and the ship will leave the port with the tide in the evening.
Well, Dany is leaving Qarth.
When she left Trasho's mansion, she also gave him a set of clothes, a large tunic, made of gold silk cloth and black jade buttons.
Long before Trasho showed his scumbag attributes, Dany had this gift ready for him when she asked a Qarth tailor to sew a cheongsam.
According to Westeros guest relations, guests are given a gift of gratitude to the host before leaving.
Dany was really grateful to Trasho in the beginning, when he was continuously bringing gifts to her house!
Trasho is a huge scumbag. He didn't come out to see her off after receiving Dany's gift. He only let his Steward bring one sentence: Grand Warlock Pyat will not let you go safely.
Dany asked the steward to pass on her thanks to Trasho, but he didn't care.
When she arrived at the sea, she had almost no rivals with dragons on her side.
Mostly, Pyat will disguise as a pirate to hunt her down, but the boat is made of wood and the sails are made of cloth, all of which are flammable…
"Khaleesi, the Captain of the Sloe-Eyed Maid only brought you a silver statue with the thickness of an arm, do you want to let him in? The Sloe-Eyed Maid is just a small boat, and its captain may not have much money." Jhogo came over to report to Dany.
A tall wooden chair was placed on the side of the deck by the sea, Dany sat on it, and the Black Dragon lay at her feet, waiting for the nearby crew and merchants to line up to visit.
Well, they came to see the dragon.
According to the original regulations made by Trasho, each dragon visitor must send gifts, and the order of the audience will be arranged according to the number of gifts.
Until Dany went to visit the Warlocks House of the Undying, there was a long line of names left on the visitor list.
Now moving to the ocean ship, leaving tonight, Dany's "dragon zoo" is briefly open for business again!
The main reason is that the visitors are too enthusiastic, and most of them are from the Essos western continent, where Dany hangs out and doesn't want to have a reputation as "extraordinary and difficult to reach" or "arrogant and ruthless".
She's going to smile, be kind, be well-dressed, and let everyone see her dragon, and then Daenerys Targaryen is 'beautiful, kind, elegant, and powerful'. The label will be affixed to the major Free City by many seafarers.
Well, by word of mouth.
Although the main purpose is to invite names, she doesn't want to let go of the opportunity to pursue profits, and each guest still needs to present gifts.
"What statue?" she asked.
"A young woman," Aggo said.
"Maiden!" asked Whitebeard, who was standing guard. "Is Sloe-Eyed Maid from the Sunset Sea?"
"I don't know, but his accent is similar to yours and you look kind of similar." Aggo said.
"Her Highness, you should receive him he is someone from your homeland," Whitebeard advised.
Dany nods, "Let him come up."
From Lys, Braavos, to Pentos, Merchant ships of the Summer Lands Dany has all seen them all, but a pure Westeros sea merchant is one she has not come across yet.
The silver statue is small and only worth a few Honors, but the meaning of guest status is very unusual.
The visitor is a thin middle-aged man who is missing a front tooth. His half-length hair has grown into silky white hair. Fresh stubble can be seen on his long and narrow horse face. He obviously made himself decent before he came.
"The great Mother of Dragons, guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, Andal, Rhoynar, and the true Queen of the First Men!" the Horse-faced man showed standard Common and Knight etiquette.
"I'm the Captain of the Sloe-Eyed Maid, Jordan Snow, your countenance is like the moon in a serene lake, holy, beautiful, for mortals to see but not to touch. You are the 'Maiden' in the world."
As he spoke he kneeled on one knee, holding a small 'Maiden' statue in both hands.
The mainstream belief of the Seven Kingdoms is the Church of The Seven. The Seven they worship is seven different forms of a god, representing seven different virtues, but the bottom layer with a lower education level in society will think that The Seven is seven different gods.
Father represents judgment, Mother represents motherhood and nurture, Warrior represents strength in battle, Smith represents craftsmanship and labor, Crone represents wisdom, and Stranger represents death and the unknown.
Maiden represents innocence and purity. People often pray to her to protect a Maiden's chastity. Like this horse-faced Jordan, 'Maiden' can be used to praise a woman's appearance and temperament.
"Thank you for your gift, I'll pray to The Seven for Smith to keep you safe and back at King's Landing…" Having said this, Dany stopped, probed: "Captain Snow, are you from the North?"
In the traditions of Seven Kingdoms, illegal children use the most common local things as their surnames, meaning the lowest person, for example, 'Snow' in the North there's a lot of snow; 'Flowers' in Reach, with warm climate and many plants; 'Sand' in Dorne, the large desert in Dorne with the most sand; 'Stone' in Vale, with a lot of stone…
Generally, an illegal child's surname can be used to determine where he is from.
If it is an illegal child of a noble family, his coat of arms is generally related to the father's family, or the color is opposite, or there is an extra bar, or both parents are nobles, and the two coats of arms are combined with the pattern into a new coat of arms.
Many experienced people can infer who the other person is with just one look and one sentence.
