Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Garden

Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Garden

In the midst of the vibrant garden, the chef is carefully cooking, grabbing a thick spoon and stirring it constantly. In the gazebo of the garden, four chairs are placed. Two of them had people sitting on them, and the other two were empty.

The prince was strikingly beautiful, and he glanced at the cup on the table, and said to the wizard beside him, "Your plan has succeeded, and you have made that man our companion, but it has gone too far. ”

A flame of wisdom burned in the wizard's eyes, "No, everything is still under control. ”

"Really?" The prince sneered, "There are only three of us left here, and I hate the other one, but after he disappears, who will be next?" Is it me he hates the most, or is it you who doesn't fit in with him? ”

The wizard looked at the chef, who was still immersed in the soup, "All I know is that it won't be him." ”

"Hmph, it's good that you know."

The wizard let out a gloomy laugh, "Rest assured, everything is under control!" ”

None of them touched the drinks on the table.

【Red Wasteland】

Food and water fell from the sky, and the people around them cheered together after being stunned for a while. Whoever can bring food and water is a god! While thanking the gods for bringing food, they distributed water and food to the hungry people. Daenerys looked at the black dragon with surprise in her eyes.

Once upon a time in Pantos, Daenerys had seen kittens stalking by the walls in the Governor's house of Illyrio, and newborn dragons were now about the same as kittens...... But it was different when they spread their wings, their wingspan was three times their length, and each wing was a translucent, delicate piece of skin, colorful and tightly spread between the long thin bones. If you look closely, you can see that the body of the baby dragon is basically composed of a neck, tail and wings.

But she had never heard of dragons bringing food and water. When the water appeared out of thin air from the sky and fell to the ground, she was surprised and then joyful.

Jorah Mormont felt like his worldview was about to shatter, he had heard about gods and wizards and magic since he was a child, but never thought he would actually come across those things. For so many years, all he believed in was the long sword in his hand. What was happening in front of him almost shattered his faith.

He wanted not to eat these things out of thin air, but hunger and thirst forced him to change his mind. There was no prey around, and there was no place to replenish the water, and if you didn't eat, you would die of starvation and thirst in this red wasteland.

After solving the problems of food and water, morale is rising again. The cattle no longer die, but slowly become stronger. The whole team continued to move in the same direction, and there was no trace of anyone along the way. The Dothraki began to fear whispering, believing that the comet had led them to the Purgatory of the Unknown. The black dragon could bring them food, but who knows how long that would last?

If they can't get out of this desolate apprentice before the gods' gifts are exhausted, then they will only have the result of annihilation.

One morning, as the group camped in a black, wind-damaged pile of rubble, Daenerys went to Sir Jorah. "Are we lost?" She asked, "Is there an end to this wasteland?" ”

"Yes," replied Jorah wearily, "Your Majesty, I have seen the maps drawn by merchants. Although few caravans passed through this place, in the far east there were great kingdoms, cities full of wonders, such as Yidi, Quels, and the ........ of Asha by the shadows."

"Will we make it to the end?"

"I don't dare to hide it from you, this road is really hard beyond imagination." The knight's face was a little gray, and he was exhausted from the trek. The buttocks he sustained on the night of the duel with Drogo Kao's Blood Alliance never healed, and he frowned in pain every time he got on his horse, and he was very weak on his horse.

"If you keep going, you may lead to destruction........ But I can be sure that if I turn back, it's all over. Daenerys whispered, "At least, we still have dragons!" ”

She kissed Jorah softly on the cheek, and she was thrilled to see him smile. Even for him, I had to be strong, she thought heavily, he was just a knight, and I was a true dragon.

The next pool they found was hot and full of sulfur, making it undrinkable. Although their morale is still high, the red wasteland is still boundless. Could it be that this comet was born to mock me? Daenerys looked up at the scars in the sky and thought to herself, "Could it be that I've traveled half the world to see dragons reborn, only to be buried with them in the scorching desert?" She didn't believe it.

"Zhuo Geng, are you awake?"

Daenerys touched the armor on Lin Mengchu's body with her fingers and said softly, "We have no water left." ”

Lin Mengchu opened his eyes, looked around with vertical pupils, and then flapped his wings and flew up. When she flew to a height of more than three meters, a bucket of water appeared out of thin air, and then fell with a "whirring" sound. Along with the water, there was a lot of food.

She circled in the air for some distance before landing on the stretcher the women were carrying.

Seeing water and food appear out of thin air, everyone cheered. Jorah Mormont had seen this scene many times, but was still shocked, and there was a deep worry in his eyes, "Daenerys, don't you think it's unreasonable?" Legend has it that dragons don't conjure water or food out of thin air! ”

Daenerys raised her head and said proudly, "This shows that I am favored by Destiny!" I was destined to be like Ancestor Aegon Targaryen, and take three dragons to conquer all of Westeros! ”

She said to Jorah, "If you think there is a problem with the food and water, you can not accept it." ”

Jorah Mormont sighed, resigned herself to pouring water from the bucket and filling her own water bladder. In this parched land, you can last for a few days without food, and if you don't have water to drink, you can't last even a day.

Daenerys greeted and everyone began to eat. The three dragons also flew over and pounced on the bacon on the ground. The black dragon, all black and larger than the other two, unceremoniously crashed into Viserys and roared menacingly at Rego.

"Zhuo Geng, this is not good, they are your brothers and sisters, you have to love them!"

Daenerys stretched out her hand and gave some food to the other two dragons, saying, "You have two companions, but I'm the last Targaryen in this world!" ”

Jorah Mormont on the side stopped talking, pinched the bread in his hand, hesitated for a while, and finally said nothing.

The next morning, they came to a cracked red plain and set up camp while the scouts galloped back. "Carlycy! There's a city ahead! They shouted, "White as the moon, beautiful as a maiden." It's only an hour away from horseback riding! ”

A smile appeared on Daenerys' face, and she said loudly, "Take me to see it." ”

When the city finally appeared in front of her, the white-walled white tower shone behind the air curtain, so beautiful that Daenerys thought it could only be a mirage. "What is this place?" She asked Sir Jorah.

The banished knight shook his head weakly, "Your Majesty, I don't know, I've never been to such a place to the east. ”

The white walls in the distance symbolized recuperation and safety, they could heal and reorganize, and Dany wanted nothing more than to run forward, but she turned to the Blood Alliance and said, "My blood, please come and inquire about the name of this city, and how we will be greeted." ”

"Yes, Carissy!" Argo said.

The Blood Alliance Guards returned a short time later, and LaCarlo rolled over and dismounted, his medal belt bearing the Blood Pact gift from Dani: an Arac scimitar. LaCarlo said loudly, "Carrishi, it's a dead city, and there's no one in it. It has no name and no gods, and its gates are broken, except for the wind and flies that roam the streets. ”

Ji Qi said in a trembling voice: "Once the gods are gone, the evil spirits will go out to hunt at night, this kind of place is best avoided, everyone knows it. ”

"Everybody knows that." Ellie chimed in.

"I don't know." With a snap of her horse's belly, Dani ran through the ruined arches of the ancient city and down the silent streets. Ser Jorah and her Blood Allies followed, followed by the rest of the Dothraki.

I don't know how long this city has been abandoned, but the pure white walls, which look beautiful from a distance, have recently been found to be ruined. The narrow alleys of the city are intricate, the buildings are leaning on each other, their fronts are windowless and featureless, and they are pale as far as the eye can see. Everything is white, as if the inhabitants have no idea about color. They walked through the sun-drenched ruins of collapsed houses, and there were faded burn marks everywhere.

Passing through a meeting place of the six lanes, Dani saw an empty marble pedestal. It seems that the Dothraki have been here, and perhaps the lost statue is now in the company of Vis Dothraki, with the other stolen idols. Maybe she herself rode by a lot, but she didn't know it. Over her shoulder, Vicelion hissed.

They set up camp in the ruins of a long-ruined palace, where the wind and sand raged in the palace square and the demonic grass grew among the roadstones. Daenerys sent people to search for the ruins, and some of them were reluctant but took the order...... It didn't take long for an old man with a scar on his body to come running back with a smile on his face and a bunch of figs in his arms. She regarded the fruits as gifts from the gods and offered them to Daenerys.

The rest of the searchers reported that they had found the orchard in the secret garden of the deep palace. Argo takes her to a courtyard overgrown with vines, on which small green grapes hang from them. Jogo discovers a well whose water is cold and clean. In addition to this, they also found bones, unburied skeletons, white and broken.

"Ghosts," murmured Eli, "these are terrible demons! Kalixi, we can't stay here, it's their territory. ”

"I'm not afraid of ghosts, my dragons are more powerful than ghosts." Daenerys had lost her former weakness and became hard and strong, and she ordered, "You and Kiki go and help me find some clean sand, and I want to take a bath." Stop talking stupid. ”

On the stone courtyard wall, Lin Mengchu looked at Daenerys with the vertical pupils unique to dragons. She spends most of her day eating and sleeping, but she can also sense that the girl in front of her is going through a kind of transformation. Looking at everything she had experienced, Lin Mengchu felt that she had also changed a lot in herself.

The world in the eyes of dragons is very different from that of humans. She sometimes thinks back to how she felt as a human being, and then compares it to what she sees and hears now, and then some of the insights flow through her heart.

Daenerys returned to the shady tent and pondered her plans as she roasted meat on the brazier. Food and water are plentiful, and there is forage to help the horses regain their strength. How nice would it be to wake up in such a place every day, linger in the shade of the garden trees, taste figs and sip cool water?

After Eli and Kiki bring back a few bottles of white sand, Daenerys undresses and asks them to wipe themselves.

"Carlysy, your hair is slowly growing back." Kiki said as she brushed the sand off her back. Dani reached out and touched the top of her head, feeling the new short hair. Dothraki men wore their long hair in long, shiny braids, and would never trim them unless they were defeated. Maybe I should do the same, she thought, so that I could remind everyone that Drogo's power is with me. Drogo Kao never cut his hair until he died, and few people had that ability.

On the other side of the tent, Rego spread his green wings, flapped his wings and flew half a foot, before being shot down from the air by Lin Mengchu and falling on the carpet. As soon as it fell to the ground, it wagged its tail angrily and screamed with its head up. If I had wings, I would want to fly, Dani thought. The ancient Targaryen royal family rode dragons to the battlefield. She tried to imagine what it would be like to soar through the sky on the back of a dragon. It should be like standing on the top of a mountain, only better than that, the whole world stretches out under your feet. If I fly high enough, I can see the Seven Kingdoms and reach out and touch the comet.

Ellie interrupts her daydreams and tells her that Sir Jorah Mormont is out asking to see her. "Call him in." Daenerys commanded, her freshly rubbed skin still tingling. She wore a lion's skin, and Heraka was much larger than Dani, so the fur covered everything that should be covered.

"I brought you a peach." Sir Jorah knelt down as he spoke. The peach was small enough to fit into her palm, and was a little overripe, but when she took a bite, she almost cried out at the sweet flesh. After being reincarnated as a dragon, Lin Mengchu could only eat cooked meat, and every time he threw out, there was only meat, but there was never any fruit.

Daenerys ate slowly, bite by bite, chewing slowly. Sir Jorah explained that it had been picked in a garden near the western wall.

"There's fruit, there's well water, there's shade," said Dani, with sticky peach juice on both cheeks, "and it's great that the gods have brought us here." ”

"We should recuperate here," the knight proposed, "and the weak will not live long in the Red Moor." ”

"My maid said there were ghosts here."

"Ghosts, everywhere," whispered Sir Jorah, "they will not leave wherever they go." ”

yes, she thought, Viserys, Drogo Kao, and Rego, they're with me all the time. "Jorah, you know my ghosts well, but what about yours?"

His face was very calm, "Her name is Lineth. ”

"Your wife?"

"My second wife."

He was sad to mention her, Dani could tell, but she wanted to know the truth. "That's all?" The lionskin slipped off one of her shoulders, and she reached out to pull it on. "Is she pretty?"

"It's beautiful." Sir Jorah's gaze lifted from her shoulder to her face, "The first time I saw her, I thought she was a goddess descending from earth, a 'maiden' in the world, but my origin is far less noble than hers. She is the youngest daughter of Lord Leighton Hightower, who rules the Old Town, and the 'White Bull', who commands your father's Kingsguard, is her uncle. The Hightower family has a long history, a wealth of money, and a lot of pride. ”

"They are loyal." "I remembered that Viserys had said that the Hightowers were one of the few vassals who had always been loyal to my father. ”

"That's right." He agreed.

"Ling Zun asked for a marriage for you?"

"No," he said, "our marriage........ Your Majesty, this is a long story, and it is very boring, so I better not talk about it. ”

"I don't have anything to do anyway," she said, "just say it." ”
