"Not a day goes by that on the way here on the Iron Folk Downwind boat, I have not divined your condition through the flames, Your Majesty. Although he did not understand Chinese, this did not prevent Macchiro from stumbling into the smug of his own gun - he stared at Daenerys's purple eyes with dark pupils, "You have been seduced and lured by illusions to the land next to the shadows, where you have been deceived and fooled, and your power has suffered a great loss...... The only fortunate thing is that there is no danger. The inhabitants of Asha possess some of the strangest talents and powers in the known world, but because of this, they are more in awe of the prophecy of the Lord of Light than anyone else—you, as the child of prophecy, no matter how much the wizards covet your power, they can only offer it by tricking you, and will never dare to rob it. ”

Everyone in the audience looked confused, completely unaware of what Macchiro was talking about, let alone how to interject. Daenerys, on the other hand, changed her face and was extremely strange in an instant.

"Heh-" Littlefinger couldn't sit still, although the red-robed monk currently had the same opinion as himself, he couldn't sit back and watch the queen being fooled by a magic stick: "I beg you to say this, for those who have returned from a long journey, ninety-nine out of a hundred." As long as you dare to make up your mind, there will always be stories along the way that can confirm these ambiguous contents. ”

Macchiro smiled, there are naturally smart people around the queen.

As a priest of the Red God, he, like all of his companions, follows the principles of "ambiguity" and "trying to induce imagination" when interpreting oracles or prophecies to believers - too much clarity not only reduces the mystery of the Lord of Light in the minds of believers, but also makes it much more difficult to make up for and round up when there are obvious deviations in interpretation.

However, for the Child of Prophecy, then there is no need to insist too much on these rules - here, a higher principle comes into play: you must gain Daenerys' 100% trust, and guide her to overcome the obstacles, overcome the obstacles, and return to where she needs to go, to fulfill the prophecy and defeat the Lord of Light's old enemy.

"The person who provided you with the dragon harness made an unwarranted request, and you paid an undeserved price for what should have been yours and a service that you should have enjoyed. After a little deliberation, the red-robed monk decided to make it clearer: "To explain it more plainly in lingua franca, you have been slaughtered. ”

What did she pay for dragon mastery?

Petyr looked at Daenerys, her body shaking imperceptibly.

He suddenly remembered that when their little queen unexpectedly rode east on a dragon a few months ago, she had not taken a penny with her, and that she had nothing of value but the dragon she carried. But now the black dragon has not only come back well, but also looks bigger and stronger...... So, is it ......

Daenerys, born of the storm, the rightful king to whom she is loyal and the only hope of returning to Westeros, sold herself in exchange for dragon mastery?

Littlefinger's expression was slightly distorted, and after years of wandering in King's Landing's Red Keep, he certainly knew how devastating the prestige and influence of "black history" could be to a public figure like The King. Robert was able to indulge in extravagance regardless of what the Seven Kingdoms thought of him because his position was stable with the support of his father-in-law and brother...... Daenerys, on the other hand, is an entrepreneur who is about to seize the Iron Throne, and even worse, she is still a queen!

In this world, people have very different tolerances for men and women when it comes to the same thing.

The prince can live in a thousand flowers, he can show mercy everywhere, but the queen can't!

With a strong hatred of iron and steel, Petil Berish quickly began to think about the best way to minimize the impact of public relations and influence public opinion. And Daenerys ...... It is to take a deep breath and completely relax your body.

This is not a word technique to induce association, the black-skinned red-robed monk in front of him really saw his experience in the flames.

That's right, she paid the price for her dragon mastery, which in layman's terms, was selling herself.

However, this sale is not a "sale". Compared to the mess that Little Finger was thinking about at the moment, Daenerys actually did it, which can really be understood literally.

＊＊＊

Yasha is a city steeped in magic, where wizards, alchemists, moon singers, necromancers, fire magicians, and blood witches practice spells and spells at will, perform eerie rituals, and perform terrifying sorcery...... It is as if all the transcendent beings, things, and events of the whole world gather here. Daenerys rode her dragon over the mountains and rivers to get here, and found that the people here were unlike any other place she had ever been: they watched curiously and pointed at the drogon they were riding, but they did not show the slightest panic or fear...... Rather than seeing a dragon, it was more like a group of ordinary people seeing a "good horse" that they couldn't ride.

This completely abnormal "normal performance" made Daenerys quickly realize that this place full of strange people and dragons could not cause a sensation, maybe there was really the dragon control technique she wanted.

It's easier to find than you think: there's no unraveling, exploration, or adventure at all - dragon harnessing is like a commodity, stored on a store-like shelf, and anyone who can afford it can afford it!

The thing was there, and how to get it was a big problem - it was more expensive than Meereen's vault could afford, and she didn't have it with her. And her intuition told Daenerys that it would neither make sense nor work to "buy" the Unsullied in Astapor.

Then, it's only a matter of negotiating the price.

The owner of the goods firmly rejected the offer to buy the goods first and pay later, and directly asked her to ride the dragon: without dragon control, Daenerys had three dragons and could not use them, and in exchange for a black dragon for dragon control, she could not only control the remaining two dragons, but even receive a complete set of "dragon breeding techniques", which could continue to reproduce more.

It is not too demanding, but it is a condition that a mother absolutely cannot accept. Daenerys also firmly refuses and leaves, riding a dragon while sleeping in the open around Yasha while thinking about a solution to the matter. Then, the key mystery man who had appeared in her hallucinations and made her decide to come here appeared to her without warning.

......

Drogon's wings spread out to find today's lunch, and the sudden appearance of the quirky lizard stood by the river flowing with black water, draped in the floor-sweeping hooded robe worn the last time they met, and the red lacquered mask under the hood was as angular as ever, reflecting the dim sunlight of Axia.

"I thought I'd never see you again. Daenerys didn't know if it was a hallucination or a dream, but it wasn't the first time she had seen each other, and she decided to hurry up and get down to business: "To reach the West, you have to go east, and if you want light, you have to go through the shadows." It seems that I am not misinterpreted, you want me to come to Yasha, I came. ”

"You've shown wisdom, Daenerys Targaryen, and I'm glad I am. ”

"Sycophants, there are enough in Meereen's court!" Daenerys disgusted with the quillid's pretending to be a ghost, "I found what I was looking for, but unfortunately I can't afford it." You said you were going to show me the way, so help me. ”

"Reason tells you that an untrained dragon will reduce your kingdom to ruins, and experience tells you that you can't trade a dragon for it anyway. It is wisdom to follow the guidance of reason and learn from the experience while learning from it, and not to take sincere praise as flattery. The masked woman's hand reached out from under her robe, and between her slender and slender fingers she held a book of strange material and rolled up. "As for what you want, it's here. ”

Daenerys couldn't bother to talk to the mysterious woman - her pupils dilate, and the lizard was holding the "Dragon Mastery" she had seen earlier in Yaxia City.

"You want it. The lizard raised the book in his hand, then slowly crouched down and placed it on the cobblestone at his feet: "The truth is, without it, you can't take back your kingdom at all...... Unfortunately, without a mentor, you will never understand what is being said. ”

"I'm tired of guessing and esoteric advice!" Daenerys lifted a strand of silver hair that blocked her vision, resisting the urge to run over to get the Dragon Mastery, "If you're my friend, then help me master the art of dragon control!"

"I can help you, but it comes at a cost. ”

"At what cost?"

"You'll find out soon. ”

"I don't want it soon, I want it now, now, right now!" Daenerys raised her voice, "In the name of the Queen, I command you to ......"

"Rest well, and if you're curious, flip through the book first. After the preview, let's try to master it. "The mysterious woman vanished as she had appeared, beside the cobblestone of the river flowing with black water, no hooded robes, no red lacquer masks, no burly lizards, only a book lying alone on the stone.
