Chapter 152 The Last Dragon Knights
Clay didn't know who the two people standing next to Daenerys were, one was a grandfather with a white beard, and the other was a slovenly knight.
Theoretically speaking, this younger man, who is looking at him vigilantly in a standard knightly sword posture, should be more dangerous than this old man holding a staff, but Clay faintly feels that this old man is himself More attention is required.
Thinking about this point in time, the people who followed Daenerys were those few people. After a little thought, Clay probably guessed the identities of these two people.
Most likely it was Ser Barristan Selmy and Jorah Mormont, Daenerys' second-in-command.
Hearing that Clay called out her name accurately, Daenerys forced herself to calm down. She knew that this dragon knight who made her not know what emotion to face was aimed at herself.
The huge dragon's head was right in front of her eyes. Although she had three little dragons herself, Daenerys lost a bit in terms of momentum to the colossal monster in front of her.
Pursing her lips, Daenerys looked at Clay's face, trying hard to find the outline of family members in her memory from this face, but unfortunately, things backfired, she didn't see what she wanted.
"Aren't you going to introduce yourself? It's not a gentleman's behavior to ask like this."
Daenerys didn't know how to answer Clay's question, accident or not?This is all inappropriate, and it is her habit that the little queen tries to take the initiative in the conversation.
Daenerys' tense and restless face was reflected in Clay's eyes, and an impatient expression suddenly appeared on his face as soon as he thought about it.
Hearing the master's voice, Gelesos turned his eyes away from the silver-haired woman in front of him who made him feel a little close, and looked at the knight holding the sword beside him.
Clay also turned his face towards Jorah Mormont, and sneered:
"Who am I? I can tell you Daenerys, but this is not a clean place, someone is polluting the environment here, am I right? Varys' good spy, Jorah Mormont. "
The words were understated, but they exploded in the ears of Daenerys and Jorah Mormont like thunder, and Barristan Selmy gave Clay a deep look without saying a word.
He knew what Jorah Mormont was doing, but now his identity was in doubt, so he didn't reveal Jorah's identity to the Queen, but now, this mysterious dragon knight actually spoke out, obviously, this Be an insider.
And the most important thing is that he definitely has something to do with Westeros, even he knows Jorah Mormont. An extremely powerful intelligence organization.
Hearing Clay's words, Daenerys turned her head suddenly, and stared blankly at the middle-aged knight who had sworn allegiance to her. She didn't believe what Clay said, but she also believed that Clay would definitely not target indiscriminately.
Jorah Mormont's face was sharpened to a rocky face by the sea wind, and he turned pale instantly. He didn't know how he was exposed. Only he and Lord Varys in King's Landing knew about it. How could it be...
"Daenerys... I don't, it's not like that..."
Watching this man's performance, Clay decided to add another fire. He stood there with his arms folded and sneered:
"You're still acting here. You're just bullying Daenerys for not living in Westeros. Do you need me to clarify? When you were in Qarth, what did you send to the octospider?"
As soon as these words came out, the last trace of blood disappeared from Jorah Mormont's face. He stared at Clay in disbelief, his lips were white, but he couldn't say a word.
"I'll show you respect, Jorah Mormont, the vast sea, if you don't want to be my Galesos' lunch, just stay aside and save your eyes here!"
Clay's tone was very rough, and anyone could see the disdain in Jorah Mormont's eyes.
At this time, Gelesos roared just right, shattering Jorah Mormont's last courage to forcefully explain. He dropped the tip of his sword against Clay, and took a last look at Daenerys, feeling sad. Walk towards the stern.
Daenerys looked at the back of Jorah Mormont silently, feeling a deep sense of unreality. She believed that the most loyal subordinate had come here from the Dothraki prairie after untold hardships. The person in question is actually the eyeliner of the usurper.
She felt wronged, but she didn't know who to turn to to vent, and felt a little hurt in her heart. This was the first time she felt betrayed.
Biting her red lips tightly, Daenerys took a deep breath, now was not the time for her to cry silently under the covers, Jorah's departure completely put her at a disadvantage in this conversation.
"Okay...you got your wish, let's go to the bow, Dragon Knight."
Clay nodded, stretched out his hand to signal Daenerys to go first, then stopped Barristan Selmy who was closely behind Daenerys, and whispered:
"I know who you are, Sir Barristan, don't worry, I'm not your enemy, but some words are not suitable for you to listen to now, can you give us a space to talk?"
After Jorah Mormont's identity was easily exposed, Ser Barristan had anticipated this scene. He sighed deeply and did not insist, but said:
"I hope you keep your promise, Dragon Knight, you know what she means."
"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have come to her."
Clay smiled and walked to the high place of the bow alone, where Daenerys was waiting for him.
There is no one here, because Clay does not intend to let others know his identity. The vest of the members of the Belleris family can be worn in front of others, but Daenerys, who speaks High Valyrian as her mother tongue In front of you, it is easy to be exposed.
Clay knew that the little queen was also an extremely sensitive person, and he didn't need to make her feel bad because of this kind of thing, even though he came here to grab her crown.
"As you wish, now, can you tell me who you are?"
The purple eyes looked at Clay repeatedly, and this was the first answer Daenerys wanted to know on Clay.
Clay didn't have the appetite to catch Daenerys anymore, a smile appeared on his face, and he said slowly:
"Clay Manderly, that's my name."
Mandalay?
Daenerys' beautiful eyebrows twitched together immediately. She had heard the name before. Although she was a wandering princess, she was obviously good at noble heraldry. Hong Kong's ruling family.
But immediately, her complexion became very ugly. Daenerys looked into Clay's eyes, and her voice was a little annoyed:
"The Manderlys of White Harbor? Clay Manderly, do you think I'm a fool?"
Of course Clay knew that she didn't believe it, because there are many points in it that don't make sense without explaining the logic, so he spread his hands helplessly, and Clay continued in a soothing tone:
"Don't be nervous, Daenerys, first, I am indeed Clay Manderly, the heir to the current Earl of White Harbor. Second, the dragon and the blood of the dragon king, your homeland, the ruins of Valyria to me Yes, you just remember this first, and I will tell you in detail later."
At the beginning, it took him a lot of effort to explain to his old man. It was based on the extremely low cost of trust and the fact that he knew everything. Now, if he had to explain to Daenerys, it might not make sense for two days.
Anyway, the future is long, let's talk about it later.
Although she felt that Clay Manderly was lying to herself, Daenerys couldn't help it.
"Okay...Let's just say that, after all, I can't think of a reason for you to lie to me. Your dragon can burn all the people in this boat to death, but you didn't do it, so I believe your words for now, Clay Man Dele."
Hearing Daenerys' self-guided speech, Clay felt happy, this little queen is quite interesting, is it okay to convince myself?
His eyes swept over Daenerys's exquisite body, and Clay nodded, waiting for Daenerys to continue asking.
"Then, Clay Mandalay, I don't know why you know I'm here, but I want to know what you are looking for me here for."
Although Daenerys asked this, she already had some expectations in her heart, but she did not reject them, because obviously, Clay Manderly still recognized her as a descendant of the Targaryen dynasty.
"Talk about a cooperation with you, but this is not urgent. Before that, I want to ask, Daenerys, where are you heading now?"
The sensitive Daenerys originally wanted to report a false position to this unknown Clay Manderly, but when she thought that he could find herself so accurately and dug out such a big spy from her side , I gave up this kind of thinking.
"Slaver's Bay, Clay Mandalay, I'm going to Slaver's Bay, there is what I want."
"Is the Unsullied right? A specialty of Astapor, not a bad idea."
Daenerys felt angry, because the man in front of her guessed right again. This was a plan she had discussed with Jorah Mormont who had just been expelled, and it was impossible for outsiders to know.
Gritting her teeth, Daenerys' voice was obviously dissatisfied, and now she can't control her emotions well.
"Yes, Clay Manderly, you are right, I need an army! The usurper's flag is still flying over the Red Keep, without an army, how can I take back my father's throne?"
"Very well, Daenerys, this is your ambition, right? Then, I can tell you that I support your choice, by my name."
Daenerys had vaguely guessed that Clay would say that, but in fact this was not surprising, because all those who followed her said that, and this was the only legitimacy for her to gather the team.
But she didn't understand one thing. If she remembered correctly, White Harbor, to which Mandalay belonged, was a well-rooted northern nobleman and a powerful vassal under Ed Stark's command. Why did he come to support her?
"It's hard to convince me. You want to support me? You nobles who fought against my father seem to call me the daughter of the mad king."
Regarding what Daenerys said, Clay spread his hands, grinned, and said softly:
"Don't worry, Daenerys, as I said just now, there will be a long time to come, you will understand."
……
Jorah Mormont, Clay didn't use the Axii sign on him, not because he was merciful, but because he didn't want to expose his witcher methods yet.
He has not reached any agreement with Daenerys now, but just met, he doesn't know what the little queen thinks.
Judging from today's performance, what she brought to him must have been more frightened than surprised. Not trusting herself is the most correct reaction for her. If she puts on an appearance of completely trusting herself now, Clay will want to Doubt her motives.
Clay only chatted with Daenerys for a while, and then ended the first conversation. He wanted to give the little queen enough time to think, so take your time. Anyway, Clay has plenty of time.
He had noticed that there was nothing on this boat that could threaten his existence, and now Daenerys' career was not even at the start, and there were not many followers.
But the presence of dragons, especially the breath of Gelesos, made the Dothraki who followed Daenerys terrified, and the place where the horses were placed under the cabin was full of stench.
Clay waved his hand, and Gelesos went out to sea to find food by himself, and Daenerys' three little dragons went with him. They dare not confront this guy who is several times their size now.
It just so happened that they were also hungry. After hesitating beside Daenerys for a long time, Drogon was the first to spread his wings and catch up with Gelesos's tail, and flew towards the sea. Its two follower brothers They also flew together.
Standing at the bow of the boat, Clay looked at the sea in the distance, which was the direction of Slaver's Bay, and it was also the real starting point of Daenerys Dragon Queen's career.
But now that I am here, I am afraid that everything will change beyond recognition, which is really interesting.
To be honest, with the power of the Mandalay family, even if they fully integrated the power of White Harbor and the Twins, they would still be at an absolute disadvantage in this war.
The problem of the Stark family alone cannot be dealt with. Westeros is not a good place for powerful officials to usurp the throne. The rigid social system means that betraying one's lord is equivalent to betraying the entire noble class.
The current Mandalay family simply does not have the ability to fight against the entire aristocratic class, not to mention that they themselves are members of the aristocracy.
Clay's behavior of letting Gelesos leave immediately let the whole ship breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this blue-gold dragon put too much pressure on these people.
Seeing Clay's figure, Daenerys brought the maid to the nearby Daenerys, hesitated for a moment, then took a rough wooden cup from the maid, and walked towards Clay's position.
Clay heard footsteps, but he didn't turn his head. Most of his mind was thinking about the next step to deal with Slaver's Bay, so he didn't pay much attention to the things here.
"Clay Mandalay, what are you looking at? I don't think this sea of uniformity is worth your careful savoring, is it?"
Daenerys' unique voice sounded from behind Clay, which also interrupted Clay's thoughts.
Glancing at Daenerys who came to him, the latter handed over a glass of water, Clay took it, and poured it down without thinking.
Daenerys was a little surprised by Clay's behavior. She didn't believe that Clay wouldn't consider whether there were other things in the water, but he just drank it. This trust was unreasonable.
"Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"
Clay curled his lips and thought to himself, there are probably not many medicines that can poison me to death in the whole world. Do you really think I'm stupid?
Shaking his head, Clay said:
"No need, you and I are the last dragon warriors in this world, Daenerys, you know very well, I don't have to worry about anything."
Daenerys didn't listen carefully to Clay's words, because she suddenly realized one thing:
This guy seems to have never called himself "Your Majesty the Queen" from the very beginning.
She carefully recalled every word she had said to Clay, and she was sure that in this Clay Manderly's heart, it seemed that he was deliberately avoiding this point.
Why is this?
Daenerys seems to have an answer.
Wow, this part is really difficult to write, it is really more difficult for women than men.
