Chapter 94: Harvesting a Little Black Girl
Even though she despised the slave trade of the Gith people, Dany, who came from modern society, had to admit that the Gith people's architectural attainments were peerless.
Before entering the pyramid, she had always thought that the stone hall inside must be dark and damp, the air was polluted, and it was cramped and dirty.
However, she didn't expect that the top-floor reception room was 200 square meters wide. The ceiling supported by thick stone pillars was painted with brightly colored paintings. The four slanted walls had bright glass windows. The breeze entered the hall from the ventilation holes hidden around, bringing the fragrance of flowers and fruits from the upper courtyard.
Cool, refreshing, bright, gorgeous, and tidy, this is a gorgeous palace!
There were eight huge wooden chairs in a row at the top, and eight sturdy and fat Gith people with amber skin, wide noses, black eyes, and black and red upright hair sat there. Dany almost dazzled her eyes and thought Kraznys used the shadow clone technique.
Fortunately, their tokar robes were different.
In Astapor, only free people were allowed to wear tokar robes.
The Gith in Meereen and Kaiyen also wear tokar robes. In Qarth, women wear a variant of tokar robes, also called "Qartheen robes".
Qartheen robes are similar to sleeveless dresses with the cloth strip cut off on one shoulder. The tokar robes of the Gith are more like ceremonial accessories than clothes - choose the most gorgeous cloth to drape on one shoulder, and fix the hem to the other waist with one hand, and must always hold it to prevent the robe from falling off the body.
The tassels on the tokar robe represent status.
At this time, among the eight good masters in the cool living room, Grazdan, the oldest and the owner of this place, has large white pearl tassels, Kraznys and other five people have gold thread tassels, and finally the slave masters sitting on both sides wear tokar robes with silver thread tassels.
With Missandei whispering to remind her, Dany finally finished greeting the eight merchants one by one.
There are six servants behind the master Grazdan, and two or three slaves behind each of the other good masters.
After the ceremony, Glazdan's servants brought two purple wood chairs for Dany, which were half as long as the chairs of the good masters.
Many people came to Dany's side, including Whitebeard, Belwas, Jorah, three blood guards, Jhiqui and Irri, and Euron.
Doreah and Quirrell stayed on the ship to guard the three dragons.
"Your Majesty, the good master said that the other chair is prepared for Ser Euron." Missandei reminded in a low voice.
The little girl was a little afraid of Euron, whose face was covered with burn scars, and she didn't dare to look at him directly, but the Crow's Eye smiled at him "evilly".
After the two sat down, Glazdan asked in a slightly awkward common language: "People of Westeros, why do you buy so many Unsullied? In addition to 8,600 fully trained Unsullied, there are 5,000 eunuchs who have not passed the test!"
"Good master, do you know the current situation in Westeros?" Dany asked instead of answering.
"I heard it was a mess, with several kings fighting over a spiked iron chair." Glazdan mocked.
"Each of them has at least 10,000 warriors. And Tywin Lannister is so rich that even the people of Qarth know that he once lent the Iron Throne 3 million gold dragons."
"Wow, is that true? 3 million gold dragons, almost 10 million gold coins, can buy tens of thousands of Unsullied."
"It should be true. I heard that Duke Tywin's shit is all gold."
"I didn't expect those Western barbarians to be so rich."
The extravagant lords were also shocked and started talking to each other.
Dany glanced at the lords and said, "Do you understand now? My enemies are too powerful. Let alone 8,600 Unsullied, even if there are 20,000 more, I am not sure to take back my kingdom.
In other words, it's not that I want to buy 13,600 eunuch warriors, but that you only have 13,600 warriors to sell to me."
Her words made so much sense that the eight lords were silent.
With their arrogance, they dare not claim that 8,000 Unsullied can sweep across the Seven Kingdoms.
It is impossible.
"We cannot sell boys who have not completed their training." Suddenly, the Grazdan with silver tassels on the right said to the others.
"We are slave traders. Only customers pay. Why can't we sell them?" said a fat Grazdan with gold tassels.
The third Grazdan sneered, "They have never killed babies, and they are not Unsullied. If they perform poorly on the battlefield in the future, it will definitely damage our reputation.
Moreover, we have more than one buyer, and many people are waiting to receive the goods. However, the training cycle of the Unsullied is at least 10 years. If all are sold, Aposta will have a 10-year window.
Haha, ten years! In ten years, the world may forget that there is such a thing as the Unsullied."
Seeing the hesitation on the face of the Grazdan with pearl flow, Dany immediately said loudly, "My lords, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?" asked Krazik.
"Excuse me, am I the biggest customer in the history of Astapor?"
"Well, not really." Pearl-tasseled Glazdan thought for a moment and said, "About 2,000 years ago, Valyria and the Rhoynar fought a war of annihilation because of a trade dispute.
In the early stages of the war, the proud Valyrians did not take the Rhoynar seriously, and only a few dragon kings participated.
The leader of the Rhoynar, Prince Garin, assembled a huge army of 250,000 people. There were also countless powerful water wizards in the army. The 100,000-strong Valyrian army was completely wiped out, and several dragons were shot dead.
Because the other side had water wizards, the dragon's flames were useless. Even worse, the water wizards summoned a flood in the Rhoyne
River, which submerged Veronthus, a great Valyrian free fortress, and hundreds of thousands of residents died in the flood.
Seeing Prince Garin's army approaching the city, the Volantines were almost scared to death, and immediately ordered all the Unsullied from us, a full 30,000. "
Dany was attracted by the story and even forgot her previous purpose. She asked curiously, "30,000 Unsullied failed to defend Volantis?"
If it succeeded, these slave traders would no longer talk about "3,000 Unsullied defending Qohor" every day.
250,000 Rhoynar + water wizards who can use forbidden water magic are much more "high-end" than 20,000 barbaric and backward centaurs.
The Gith slave master rolled his eyes at Dany and said calmly, "If we fail, will there still be Volantis as it is now? Valyria has taken action, with 300 dragons covering the sky and the sun. I heard that even the Rhoyne River was boiled dry by the dragon's fire. How can the water wizards withstand it?"
It turned out that the Unsullied only played a supporting role in the war between gods and demons.
Well, in "Game of Thrones", in the war between the white walkers, the Unsullied played a supporting role again.
"Ahem, I am the customer who has purchased the most Unsullied in the past thousand years, right?" she asked again.
"So what?"
"The people of the world will definitely pay attention to the results of my actions. If the restoration of the country fails, because of insufficient numbers, the Unsullied will be swept away by the knights of Westeros, then what do you think other people will think?"
"This" The faces of the good lords changed, and they immediately had a bad idea in their hearts: If Dany fails, the huge reputation damage is far from being compensated by "3000 Unsullied defending Qohor".
"Think about it again, if I succeed in restoring the country, will the people of the world spread the story of "Unsullied are less than ten thousand, and full of unparalleled for ten thousand generations"? "
This" The faces of the good lords changed again, and a wonderful idea arose in their hearts: after Dany succeeds, the story of "3000 Unsullied defending Qohor" can be retired. From now on, they will tell everyone the great story of "13,000 Unsullied destroying the Seven Kingdoms".
"I have dragons, and there is a great chance of success. But if the Unsullied are too few and too inconspicuous, people will think that the dragon is the key to my success." Dany said with a smile.
"Okay!" Grazdan and his seven colleagues looked at each other and finally decided: "As long as you can afford the price, all the eunuchs in Astapor will be given to you."
"Sir Euron," Dany leaned back in her chair and stretched out her hand leisurely, "It's your turn."
Euron blabbered and told how he crossed the sea of smoke, how he encountered the curse, how he found the governor's castle, how he found the dragon eggs and armor, how he got lost in an accident, and how he finally broke out of the Storm Wall.
During this period, the good masters asked many times about the waterway, the situation of the city of Tria, etc., and Euron answered them one by one.
He really went to the ruins of Valyria, and he was not bragging. No matter how the good masters questioned, he could give them answers that satisfied and amazed them.
"I swear in the name of the Drowned God and the Greyjoy family that the sea charts I drew are absolutely true." Finally, Euron swore solemnly to the good masters.
"You are a pirate, is it useful to swear?" Someone doubted.
Dany explained, "You may not understand the teachings of the Drowned God. Legend has it that the Drowned God created the Ironborn to rape and plunder. If you don't rob and make money by legal means, it will go against the ancient ways and the teachings of the gods."
"You know a lot." Euron's right blue eye flashed a strange color.
Dany was right, but she missed one thing.
Euron is a rebel!
Although he is an Ironborn, he does not believe in the Drowned God. Instead, he has repeatedly sacrificed blood to the enemy of the Drowned God, the God of Storms!
Euron can pass through the Sea of Smoke, be immune to curses, and pass through the Stormwall, all because he sacrificed a large number of slaves to the God of Storms.
In this fantasy world, blood sacrifice is definitely not superstition.
If Dany is proficient in heraldry and Ironborn culture, she may be able to find clues from Euron's personal emblem.
Euron's personal emblem is a black iron crown supported by two ravens, with a black pupil and red eye below.
The most notable feature of the God of Storms is that he has two raven servants. Euron not only has a raven emblem, but also has the nickname "Crow's Eye".
The good masters discussed with each other for more than half an hour, and finally Glazdan spoke: "A sea chart for exploring the ruins of Valyria is indeed worth 1,000 Unsullied and 5,000 eunuch apprentices.
But I must be guaranteed that this information is only known to both of us.
If you sell the sea chart every time you come to a city-state, then we will lose a lot!"
If the sea chart is real, let alone 1,000 Unsullied and 5,000 eunuch apprentices, 20,000 Unsullied will be worth it.
Just find a Valyrian steel sword to get back the money.
"The good master has considered it very carefully. I swear on the honor of the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms and the Targaryen family that I will never sell the sea chart again."
Glazdan glanced at the smiling Euron and nodded solemnly: "Deal!"
The others repeated the words of Pearl Tassel Glazdan, "Deal!"
"Deal!"
A total of eight deals.
Before leaving, Krazny Monakros pointed at Missandei and said, "This clever little slave belongs to you. She will teach the Unsullied your language."
Missandei translated to Dany, "Your Majesty, the good master has given me to you."
"Okay, you are mine, come back with me." Dany nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute."
