Not waiting for Arstan Whitebeard to answer the previous question, Jorah said again: "Let me ask you again, how will Illyrio arrange the future of the princess? Contact the Seven Kingdoms Lords? Use his property to hire sellswords?"

"The name of Dragons and Targaryen can only stimulate those princes in fighting to immediately put aside their disputes and agree to stop her. Maybe some people are looking forward to Her Highness, but more so there will be an endless stream of assassins. So, can you keep her safe?"

Jorah asked several questions in a row, leaving Groleo at a loss, the old sailor had absolutely no political understanding, and bringing Queen Daenerys back to Pentos was the purpose of his trip.

But in theory, he is serving the Queen now, and he is also considered a servant under the Queen's command. This…

Belwas didn't respond at all, and continued to eat his meal. It's his job to make skewers and protect the young Queen's safety, nothing else.

Whitebeard pondered for a long time, lifted his head, and looked firmly towards Dany: "I swear with my life and honor that I will protect the safety of Her Highness."

"Oh!" Jorah sighed then said, helplessly said: "As the Queensguard, I have already dedicated my life to Her Highness, and her Bloodriders will live and die with her, but what's the point of facing the Seven Kingdoms traitors?

A random sellsword team of 300 people can wipe out all threats. You think Lord Tywin, who has nothing but gold, will begrudge a little Golden Dragon?"

Whitebeard's tall and burly body was fixed there, his lips were pressed tightly, and he asked, "What advice do you have?"

"Go to Slaver's Bay and buy Unsullied." Jorah said loudly.

"But it's useless without Unsullied, and the slaves won't fit my boat!" Groleo sighed.

"Go to Slaver's Bay first." Jorah didn't say that he would sell the ship's cargo, even your ocean ship, for Unsullied.

At this time, Dany seemed to have finally made a decision, gritted her teeth and said, "I've decided to follow Ser Mormont's advice and go to Slaver's Bay, do you three agree?"

"I'll go wherever you go," Strong Belwas said, raising his head, slurping his food, "that fat man of Pentos only hired me to protect you, and now I'm yours!"

You bastard, you can eat more than my dragons, I don't want you.

Dany smiles and nodded.

"I would like to serve you," Groleo said.

"I'm Belwas' squire," Whitebeard said.

In this way, everyone's opinions are basically unified. Regardless of their loyalty, the three sea ships temporarily surrendered to Dany.

"Then I order a change of course?" Groleo asked her.

"Let me think about it." Dany asked Groleo to open the chart, and asked him to mark the approximate location of the fleet at this time.

The speed of this big-bellied sea boat is not as fast as that of the sailboats of the Earth's great sailing era, and it is only about eight knots.

Well, about 14 kilometers per hour, it can sail more than 300 kilometers a day.

Of course, this is more related to the wind speed. When there is no wind, the ship hovers directly on the sea. When the wind speed is good, it can reach more than 10 knots.

It's been three days since New Ghis, and a day or two of sea to cross the Sea of ​​Storms outside Valyria, just in time to turn to Slaver's Bay.

Only after seeing the ruins of Valyria on the map, Dany remembered the majestic City of Magic she saw at the House of the Undying.

She tapped her finger on the map for the location of Valyria's capital, then turned around and asked, "Has anyone explored the ruins of Valyria?"

"Yes," Whitebeard frowned. Raising his eyebrows, "In the past four hundred years, countless people have wanted to go to the ruins of Valyria to find relics. The most common long swords of the Valyria Lords are also forged from Valyrian steel, and the most common Valyria two handed sword is still a priceless treasure.

It is said that Tywin Lannister once tried to buy a Valyrian Steel Sword, an ancestral sword of a poor Lord, but no matter how much Tywin raised the price, the nobleman did not sell it.

I don't know how much the bid was, but Tywin Lannister's wealth can start with at least 200,000 Golden Dragon."

"cough cough cough…" Jorah Mormont coughed violently as if choking on saliva.

For a while, he touched his nose, blushed, and mumbled embarrassingly: "It's not…not a poor little Lord."

Whitebeard and Dany eyes widened, they all looked towards the exiled Lord of Bear Island in amazement.

"Was it you?" Whitebeard muttered.

"I never thought I'd sell Longclaw!" Mormont retorted loudly.

"When I got a loan from Tywin at Lannisport, the guy kept pestering me to buy the sword, but Longclaw is the ancestral sword of House Mormont…my father isn't dead yet were he to know, he'd return from the Wall and strike me down."

If your father died, would you sell the ancestral sword at that time?

Everyone had this idea, and Whitebeard looked towards Jorah with more and more contempt.

Well, just like Mormont's disdain for Whitebeard, Whitebeard also somewhat despised the disgraced Knight.

"I'm afraid Lynesse Hightower doesn't know about this?" Whitebeard sneered lightly.

Mormont dodged his eyes and changed the subject hesitantly: "It's not 200,000. Lord Tywin shouted the highest price of 850,000 Golden Dragon, but I insisted not to sell it, even if he threatened not to give me a loan…I then went to Braavos Iron Bank to borrow money."

850,000 Golden Dragon?

That's enough for the prodigal wife of Jorah's family for a lifetime (Lynesse: Humph, you underestimate me too much).

Dany is dumbfounded, and the idea of ​​going to Valyria grows stronger.

Then a question arose in her mind: "Ser, even House Lannister doesn't have a Valyrian Steel Sword, where did you get yours on Bear Island?"

Jorah immediately replied: "Lannister also has one. A two handed greatsword of Valyrian steel, Brightroar. The King of the Rock spent nearly two million Golden Dragons more than a century before the fall of Valyria to obtain it."

shit, Big Bear, please stop tempting me!

Dany's eyes are turning into gold coins.

Whitebeard seemed to have guessed what she was thinking, and then issued a warning: "After the fall of Valyria, people have coveted Valyrian's treasures and mysteries, and the Lannister is no exception.

Three hundred Years ago, the King of the Rock Tommen II set up a fleet known as the 'Golden Fleet' to explore Valyria, which was destroyed by that point. As a result, dozens of warships, thousands of sailors, and Tommen II himself fell together in the ruins cursed by God.

The King's sword, Brightroar, was naturally left in the ruins of Valyria.

Just ten years ago, Lord Tywin's younger brother, Gerion Lannister, also went in search of their ancestral sword.

Apart from the Lannister, the closest Volantis to Valyria…they are the most orthodox Old Valyria Freehold Lord, the result is still of never to return.

The painful experience of countless people tells us that it is a piece of dangerous land, Her Highness, with your wisdom, you should not do this reckless thing."

Dany is naturally far inferior to Tommen II in terms of people and boats, but she also has a card.

"Arstan, I totally understand your wise advice." Dany smiled gratefully at him, turned her head, and continued, "But I have dragons, and our fleet just needs to be parked safely out of the perimeter, my dragon can pass through the dangerous Sea Territory and into that broken peninsula."

"This..." Whitebeard was startled.

"You can give this a try." Jorah touched his scruffy chin, and worriedly said: "But we don't know what's dangerous inside. If there is an accident, your dragon may… …"

"Why don't you wait until the dragons grows up and become more capable before you let them explore the ruins of Valyria?" he suggested.

This is old-fashioned, safe, and reasonable, and Dany has no reason to refuse.

"A dragon has three heads," she sighed, "but there is only one Dragonrider. When the dragons grow up, the White Dragon and Green Dragon may become Wild. They will certainly not hurt me, but you…

Now they are still young and won't attack human beings, but it won't take but a few years, only a year…it's impossible to watch them all the time, just like Big Black, He always leaves my sight and goes out to the jungle.

I want to go to Valyria to find the real Dragons secrets, at least let the two dragons not eat humans."

In original plot In the middle of the Game of Thrones, Daenerys' dragons eat people, even little girls, and the three dragons are almost reduced to Wild Dragons – in fact, the White Dragon and Green Dragon finally become uncontrolled Wild Dragons.

"Can you control the Black Dragon? I think he can easily hunt humans now." Whitebeard worriedly said.

"Yes, don't worry about the Black Dragon at all." Dany said confidently.

It is precisely because the Black Dragon once had the desire to devour Dothraki children that Dany has the worry of dragons eating people.

She can feel Big Black's emotions. In Qarth, a two or three-year-old Dothraki little girl accidentally broke into her bedroom. Big Black was disturbed and immediately had the idea to bite and eat her.

Dany was horrified and realized for the first time that dragons were legendary creatures at the top of the food chain and that humans were a dessert in their recipes.

She asked Jorah later.

Ser told her that dragons not only eat people, but even have eaten several Targaryen.

Of course, that is a result of infighting, one Targaryen feeds the other to the dragon. Under normal circumstances, the dragon will not take the initiative to eat the Targaryen – if they are not qualified as a Dragonrider, but they want to ride Dragon, they most likely will be eaten.

Later, Whitebeard came, Dany saw that he had a lot of experience and knew a lot about House Targaryen, she looked towards him and asked him for some advice.

Whitebeard said that dragons with masters will not harm human beings, and the most terrifying is the Wild Dragons without masters, they are unruly and difficult to control.

He also told her a terrifying case. During the Dance of the Dragons period, House Targaryen had more than 20 dragons, so many dragons that no one could tame them and some became Wild Dragons.

There was a Wild Dragon named "Cannibal", it was terrifying, not only eating a large group of apprentice Dragonrider (Targaryen without dragon, or Velaryon), but also ate the weak, swallowing dragon corpses, young dragons, and dragon eggs.

So hearing Dany's concerns, the most mature and prudent Whitebeard fell silent.

"You can only get close to the edge, never enter that place…" With a sigh, Whitebeard waved his hand and said, "When you reach the place, you will understand, I hope the Black Dragon is not injured."

"I understand." Dany nods and asked Mormont: "Why does your Longclaw cost only 850,000, but Brightroar costs 2,000,000? Does the price of Valyrian Steel Swords fluctuate so much?"
