Chapter 341

Dragon Burn again?How to train your dragon again?

Could it be that everyone who looks like an ally is here for his own child?The little queen felt the beast in her heart faintly opened her eyes—this news finally touched her anger as a mother.

In the short ten minutes between entering the pyramid and the start of the meeting, she had already listened to Petyr's brief report, from which she had a general understanding of the major events that had occurred during her departure.

The victory of the first defense of Meereen made her happy, but the Dorne prince Quentin Martell was burned to death after trying to steal the dragon was a heavy blow: the stupid behavior of this innocent young man not only released two incomprehensible The dragon who controlled him let himself, the future heir of Dorne and one of Daenerys' optional marriage partners after returning to Westeros, die under her protection.And this will make it much more difficult for her to gain Dorne's support when she counterattacks the Seven Kingdoms...

Now, Victarion Greyjoy appeared again, how did he start the idea of ​​taming the dragon, and how did he get in touch with Viserion and Rhaego who had been released and flew in the sky of! ?

……

"The elder brother of Lord Victarion, the current King Euron of the Iron Islands, before sending him to set sail to find you, handed him a 'Dragon Horn'... and told him: Blow this horn, and you can control Your three dragons." The red-robed monk Maqiluo seemed to have a vague smile on his calm expression, whether it was ridicule or really amused: "The horn is real, named 'Dragon Binder'. I don't know Where did Euron get it, but he apparently misunderstood its name, thinking 'dragon-binding' meant the horn that could be blown to hold dragons in check."

If you can't control the dragon, what is it called a dragon binder?Now even Daenerys became curious, and she suppressed her anger and asked, "Isn't it?"

"Dragon is a huge and powerful creature. It eats meat and has a lot of appetite. Each dragon needs a huge territory for activities and hunting. Therefore, the Valyrians have already concluded a truth-dragons cannot be kept in captivity." Marqoro explained lightly: "But they are big killers after all, not pets. When needed, they must be quickly gathered and formed into an army. When Valyria was in its heyday, hundreds of adult dragons were registered , and the enemies they faced: the Ghiscari Empire, the Rhoyna, etc... are also powerful civilizations that also possess a certain level of extraordinary power, and they cannot be conquered by just sending one or two dragons. Countless dragons They are usually stocked, but they need to be gathered at critical moments, what should I do?"

Lost Valyrian stories!Even Daenerys, a genuine Valyrian, listened quietly to the red monk's narration.

"Shepherds, you can use sheepdogs... but dragons are not sheep, they are cruel by nature, they are at the top of the food chain, and they are solitary creatures with no sense of hierarchy. Even Valyrians can't train any creature or any of them. A certain one is the 'commander' or the 'leading dragon'. Therefore, Valyrian Freedom Fortress launched the role of 'Dragon Shepherd'." Maqiro slowly narrated, "The duties of the Dragon Shepherd, It is to rely on the horn of the dragon to call back the giant dragon that is being raised in the suburbs when needed. To achieve this goal, it is not enough to have a loud voice or a few simple fire magic. Channels of signaling that the dragons were ignoring because they were sleeping, hunting, or otherwise busy. Their solution was the Magic Horn."

"The horn of the dragon can emit a loud and extremely strange sound for humans. Humans will be damaged hearing and shake their will if they hear this sound at close range, but for the dragons, the penetration and strength are just right. Enough sound signal. Once the trumpet is sounded, it can easily call back the free-ranging dragons who may fly dozens or even hundreds of miles away. In a sense, the dragon's horn can indeed control the dragon—but it can only What brings the dragons together, and ultimately stops these behemoths from fighting each other, and finely manipulating them to bring them to war, must be their respective paired dragon riders: one-on-one, as many dragons are thrown into battle as At least how many dragon knights are needed. The horn is always just an auxiliary item."

The so-called Dragon's Horn is actually such a thing!

Now, Daenerys can probably imagine the details of the tragedy on the day of the incident: the iron captain who coveted the two dragons blew his horn, and the piercing sound with a huge impact quickly attracted his target—— Cyril and Rhaego.It's a pity that these two little guys have never been trained and contacted by the real dragon shepherds of Valyria. The two dragons probably only think that the horn sound is very loud and unpleasant (or maybe it sounds good?), and then they are attracted to fly to the trumpeter.

Victarion Greyjoy looked at the shining eyes of the two legendary dragons as big as copper plates, their hard and layered scales, and their dark and dense teeth... thinking that they were really controlled by the horn of the dragon The ecstasy of Captain Iron welled up in his heart, and he strode confidently towards the two giant dragons, making a dangerous move that would bring him death.

Maybe it was looking at each other, maybe stroking, maybe even trying to ride on it... No matter what it is, it finally led to the ending that everyone knows: the enraged dragon opened its mouth and spewed flames, turning the iron captain who offended them into a monster. Grilled squid that is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

……

The real situation is almost the same as Daenerys' guess, but the barber Newt's sharp questioning interrupted her imagination: "Since you know that the horn of the dragon can't control the dragon, why didn't you tell Captain Iron earlier, instead Watching him die?!"

"I told him, will he listen?" Marqoro asked back, "I tried to hint, but Lord Victarion was full of suspicion and hatred for his brother at that time, holding the legendary 'dragon' in his hand. The trumpet of the king', his mind is full of subduing the three giant dragons, marrying the most beautiful woman in the world, and letting his elder brother also taste the hatred of taking his wife. If I tell him during the voyage: 'You can't control the dragon with this horn at all', as long as It will lead to a fatal disaster, what will he do to me?"

***

What would Victarion do?Most likely they will openly declare that Marquilo is a demon sent by the evil god, and then tie him to a stone and sink him into the sea as a sacrifice to the Drowned God.

Euron was expelled from the Iron Islands for having sex with Victarion's favorite salt concubine. This matter was considered a big news, as long as the Ironmen had heard of the Greyjoy scandal.The two Iron Fleet soldiers understood without much thought what Maqiro meant by "the hatred of taking his wife".The red monk said that Victarion had no intention of bringing back the dragon queen for Euron at all, but wanted to marry himself, and then fight against Euron... After thinking about it for a while, Newt the barber and his companions quickly realized that this it is true!

For Marqoro, the Iron Fleet is probably just a ride that will take him to his destination—the Dragon Queen. He probably doesn't care about the life and death of the iron people and the helpless "heretics", even Maybe it was gloating to watch the iron captain step by step towards death... Apart from this, the two ironmen warriors soon had a more terrifying association: the reason why their king of the Iron Islands dared to call the "horn of the dragon" like this Is it possible to hand over the big killer weapon to my brother-knowing from the beginning that the horn can't control the dragon as imagined?

Euron deliberately gave it to his brother and sent him to find Daenerys, intending to use the Queen's hand... no... the dragon to eradicate his brother, and not bear the two evil names of kinslayer and narrow-mindedness Under such circumstances, quietly dismiss the core of the original Iron Fleet, and eliminate the iron captain who is unparalleled in the Iron Islands, so as to consolidate his own rule?

Now, the iron captain is dead, and as the former's confidant, Newt and the rest of the ironmen warriors who came with him may still find it difficult to be trusted and accepted by the current king of the Iron Islands.So, they, who came from thousands of miles away, can't marry the Dragon Queen for their iron captain, but also have to beware of Euron Crow's Eye's black hand, what should they do?

The two ironborn warriors looked at each other, full of surprise and uneasiness. Where did they have the thought and momentum to continue to criticize the red robe monk?

***

Daenerys can tolerate others coveting her, but she cannot tolerate others trying to hurt or steal her children.A moment ago, the favor towards the first batch of defectors from Westeros dissipated after learning that they carried the "Dragon Horn" and tried to control their own dragon... Finally, I silently reminded myself in my heart—— She needed the ironmen's ships and sailors to hold back the urge to explode.

"That 'Dragon's Horn', where is it now?"

"It wasn't destroyed by the dragon flames, and it's probably in the hands of some ironman now." Marqoro was by the side when Victarion died, and he was not worried about being killed by the dragon flames because he possessed fire control magic. Naturally, the cause and effect of the tragedy are clear. "Mortals need to pay the price of vitality to play it, and it is not so bad for someone with extraordinary strength like you. However, under the circumstances that you have already mastered the art of dragon control, it is of little value to you. Although So, for such a functional magic item, it’s better not to let it wander among the people.”

Daenerys would have done it even without the advice of the red priest.She nodded, and when she looked at Newt and his partners again, the original friendliness and enthusiasm were gone: "Two brave Ironborn soldiers, I am grateful to you and your compatriots for their heroic performance in the battle of besieging Meereen. But In the name of your Queen, I ask you to recover this horn for me. I hope to see it before dark, so I advise you to move at once."

This was an extremely clear expulsion order, and the queen told them almost bluntly: she no longer welcomes the ironborn to continue to participate in the next meeting.The two ironmen were dejected, and obediently went down the steps given by Daenerys. After saying goodbye, they hurried to carry out the queen's first order.

Chapter 342

The two ironmen left, but the red-robed monk Marqiro, who was also a newcomer to them, stayed, sitting in the seat vacated by the absence of Dario Naharis, and Pete the Queen's Hand. Er, the commander of the Unsullied, Gray Worm, Dany's favorite little clerk Missandei, and other important officials... and Daenerys herself, together formed a table like an imperial meeting.

"The ironborn came to look for you obviously with impure motives, but after all - anyone who does something must have something to seek, either for external benefits or for inner satisfaction, 'pure motives' is simply inexplicable We don’t need to be too accusing or hostile to them. Whether it’s experienced sailors or ocean-going ships, they are all the help we need right now.” Petyr shrugged: “I don’t know that Euron, and I don’t know much about him. The claim that nerfing both Stannis and Young Aegon is opening the way for you is obviously bullshit, but at least it's not a lie that it's 'really taking action'. With the port blocked, all we can learn about Wester The information on the situation in Luo is limited, but after all, there are still some... After screening and analysis, I picked out the parts that should be true."

"Go ahead." Daenerys nodded.

"That Aegon Targaryen, who claims to be your nephew, is retreating steadily in front of Stannis Baratheon. The large territory he conquered in the Stormlands earlier has now been taken back except for Storm's End and the overseas islands. And among his two important allies: Reach has gradually lost its ambition after repeated defeats. If it hadn't been for Stannis' insistence on refusing to step back and negotiate peace with him, he might have stopped fighting; and Dorne, due to unknown reasons, There has been no large-scale army to fight for it. Coincidentally, we already know what the Martell family is thinking: Prince Doran secretly sent Prince Quentin to try to marry you—they don’t want to push an unknown Aegon to the throne, but to Quentyn's heir on the Iron Throne."

"On the other side, the Reaver family... Stannis is not as sure as he looks. After the Stark family returned to save their family because of the Ironmen's invasion of the North, although he relied on the storm, the king's land, the river and the The army in the valley can still have the upper hand against Aegon's golden company, but it does not have an overwhelming advantage. The obligation of each army to fight for the king is time-limited—and now the war has long exceeded this time limit. With the advent of winter, The Baratheon family will also face difficulties in both food and finances." Petyr analyzed clearly: "Plus the Iron Islands are muddying the waters, and they will harass behind whichever side has the upper hand... In the end, the two kings who are still fighting will definitely stop fighting - not because they want to, but because they have to stop. And this is not good news for you."

"Why is it not good news?" Missandei asked suspiciously: "If I'm not mistaken, Westeros can only have one king, and different kings cannot coexist peacefully—a truce can only be achieved. It's a truce, never a peaceful coexistence. When the Queen attacks Westeros, that little Aegon, if not a vassal, at least won't turn against us before Stannis is crushed."

Petyr was also very surprised and conflicted that such a girl who was a few years younger than Daenerys could attend the imperial meeting.But with the passage of time, after gradually seeing this girl's maturity and wisdom far beyond his peers, Littlefinger has begun to adapt to her existence and strives to treat her with an equal attitude.

"It's true that Stannis and Aegon will never coexist peacefully, but this is still extremely detrimental to Her Majesty the Queen." Littlefinger spread his hands: "Whether that little Aegon is true or not, at least he has the same surname as the Queen on the surface. But Stannis, as the younger brother and heir of the Taker, is immortal with us. And now he has control over half of Westeros. Once the winter ceases, you say his strength will recover quickly, Or is it that the rootless golden group recovers quickly?"

Daenerys understood what Petyr wanted to express: "Now is the time when the Reaver family is most vulnerable and helpless, and I should seize the opportunity."

"Yes."

***

Through the analysis of a large number of clues from various channels, Petyr is almost [-]% sure: the so-called "Little Aegon" who is currently confronting Stannis on the battlefield of Westeros is assisted and supported by Varys. .For decades, this eunuch has always talked about his loyalty and kept his mouth shut about the people. In fact, all his plans and arrangements were aimed at finally pushing this child of unknown origin to sit on the throne.

But what makes Petyr very gloating is that there are various indications that—because of the unprepared and rapid changes in the situation in the Seven Kingdoms after he was forced to flee by the outbreak of the note incident, the fat man’s plan did not go exactly as originally expected, but There are some deviations.The most serious one is: the "True Dragon's Blood" and the Golden Company, who were supposed to make an appearance at the finale to clean up the mess, were forced to make an early appearance, so that now they have to confront the Lord of the Iron Throne, who is at least recognized by most of the people of the Seven Kingdoms.

Emotionally speaking, Petyr really wanted to ignore the urging from all sides, eat melons and watch the show in Slaver's Bay, and sit back and watch Varys' overall plan collapse and fail a little bit.

But he can't do this, because he is the Queen's Hand, and he has to think rationally for Daenerys... and ultimately his own interests: if he sits on the sidelines and watches Stannis destroy young Aegon, he will wait When the Queen's army set foot in Westeros, what they had to face was a unified Seven Kingdoms.

And such an opponent, Aegon the Conqueror has never faced - too huge a difference in strength, it is difficult for the three dragons and the Unsullied to make up for it.

Although very reluctant, Petyr finally presented the result of his rational analysis to the queen: now is the best time to counterattack Westeros.Once Stannis had defeated Aegon and conquered the Iron Islands, it would be too late.

……

Daenerys thought about it seriously, but shook her head: "Recover your strength, then let him recover, I have three dragons."

This is a judgment made after taking the three dragons into consideration, my lord queen!Petyr didn't know whether to laugh or cry, his mind turned slightly, and he said curtly to save the country: "Your Majesty, do you know cyvasse chess?"

"Would you ask others if they know that one plus one equals two?" Daenerys cast a reproachful look at her Prime Minister, "I'm not good at it, but I know how to play."

"What chess can kill a dragon?"

"The trebuchet."

Petyr spread his hands: "Look, people have known hundreds of years ago that dragons are not invincible. I really believe that you have learned the complete dragon riding technique this time, and you have ridden dragons the first time and the second time. When you go to the battlefield, you will definitely be able to kill and shock the world; but you will find out the third or fourth time - the enemy starts to try to deal with the dragon, or you who are riding on the dragon's back; Eventually, someone will invent a surefire way to deal with dragons."

"I still have the Unsullied, and the Freedom Militia."

Littlefinger frowned and smiled wryly, shaking his head: "Grey Worm, report to the Queen about the situation of the Unsullied and the training progress of the Free Militia."

"In the recent Battle of Meereen, the Unsullied killed 720 four people and injured more than [-]; but because the Yunkai army marched from Astapor and brought the pale mare, unfortunately after the infection entered the city, It also affected the Unsullied. Although we took isolation as soon as possible, hundreds of people were still infected in the end. Now dozens of people have been reduced, and a large number of patients have begun to have blood in their stools. Not many people have been rescued." The Unsullied Commander nodded, solemnly and meticulously said: "Because of the fear of plague infection and the lack of food, the training of the Freedom Militia has been carried out in a small-scale and decentralized manner. So far, only the formation and basic command signal drills have been completed, and there is still a shortage of weapons and equipment, and the first three methods of using spears are only being taught.”

"Look, Your Majesty, you have only [-] of the [-] Unsullied, and the Freedom Militia still has a long way to go before being invincible... Even if it is completed, you will only have less than [-] soldiers. So much People, if the other party has heard the news early and is ready to deal with the dragon, you can't even win a city in King's Landing, let alone conquer the Seven Kingdoms?" Petyr persuaded patiently, "So, the safest way is to take advantage of Stan Ness's army is still fighting Aegon, and before the news of 'dragons are ready to enter the battlefield' spreads, return to Westeros as soon as possible, and start the Battle of the Seven Kingdoms by surprise, creating enough advantages before the opponent reacts and gather as many supporters as possible under his command."

……

"Your Majesty, if you allow me to stay here, I will regard it as your permission to speak." Maqiluo, the red-robed monk who had been silent after forcing the Ironborn away with a few words, suddenly said, "The King of Light is in the flames. Warning: The incomprehensible ancient god of mortals has completed the accumulation of power in the extreme north where he occupies, and is ready to provoke the final battle. If you don’t rush to where you should be immediately, but insist on Complete the full-scale practice of 'domination' in Slaver's Bay, insist on freeing the slaves of Essos before taking responsibility...then when you are finally ready, the land across the narrow sea will be reduced to scorched earth and a forbidden place for life , become a dangerous place that everyone avoids like the Valyrian Peninsula, and there is no point in fighting for it."

Petyr didn't believe in prophecies in the flames or anything like that, but seeing that the red-robed monk held the same position as his own, he refrained from raising an argument—and Daenerys was just the opposite. After a visit, she has experienced first-hand: the existence in this world is beyond the imagination of ordinary people, and her three dragons are not the only ones. Someone can see from the flames what has happened in the past or is happening now, and it is definitely not nonsense.

However, if someone relies on this, in order to peddle their own views and satisfy their own self-interest, push everything to the "King of Light who warns in the flames" to increase their persuasiveness with alarmist words, and try to fool themselves, then they will have to Let him understand what the wrath of the sleeping dragon is.

"Did the Lord of Light say that in the flames?" Daenerys smiled slightly, determined to raise the bar and at the same time test it out—is the Red God Priest in front of her just a superficial megaphone, or a superhuman with real abilities.

If it is the latter case, then I will allow him to stay by my side.

Yaxia's visit had a great impact on the little queen's cognition. She began to realize that extraordinary power is actually one of the components that cannot be ignored in this world. Instead of being passively affected, it is better to put it in her own camp , use it correctly: "Very well, did the Lord of Light tell you in the flames, what happened on my trip east?"

An unpredictable smile appeared on Marqiro's pitch-black face, because the change in expression caused the white exposed area in the eye sockets to shrink, making his face appear darker for a while.

Chapter 343 Price

"On the way here on the ironman's downwind boat, I haven't used flames to divine your situation, Your Majesty." Although I don't understand Chinese, this does not prevent Maqiro's son of prophecy from bumping into his own gun. He stared at Daenerys's bright purple eyes with his black pupils, "Bewitched and induced by illusions, you went to the land beside the shadows, where you were deceived and fooled, and your strength suffered a huge loss... …The only luck is that they are not in danger. The residents of Asshai have the most strange and powerful talents and powers in the known world, but because of this, they fear the prophecy of the Lord of Light more than anyone else—you as the prophecy Son, no matter how much those wizards covet your power, they can only trick you into donating it, and never dare to take it by force."

Everyone present was stupefied, completely unaware of what Maqiro was talking about, let alone how to interrupt.But Daenerys' expression changed, and she became extremely weird in an instant.

"Oh——" Littlefinger couldn't sit still. Although the red robe monk had the same point of view as himself, he couldn't just sit back and watch the queen be fooled by a magic stick: "Please forgive me, these words are not suitable for returning from a long journey. For most people, 99 out of [-] can apply. As long as you dare to make up your mind, there will always be stories along the way to confirm these ambiguous contents.”

Marquilo smiled, there are naturally smart people around the Queen.

As a priest of the Red God, he, like all his companions, follows the principles of "fuzziness" and "effort to induce imagination" when interpreting oracles or prophecies to believers - overly clear explanations will not only reduce the image of the Lord of Light in the minds of believers. The sense of mystery also tends to greatly increase the difficulty of making up and getting back when there is an obvious deviation in interpretation.

However, if it is the Son of Prophecy, then there is no need to stick to the above rules too much - here, there is a higher principle at work: I must gain Daenerys' 100% trust, and guide and help her to level up. Difficulties overcome resistance, return to the place where you should go, fulfill the prophecy, and defeat the old enemy of the Lord of Light.

"The person who provided you with the Dragon Control Art made a request that shouldn't be made without permission. You paid a price you shouldn't have to pay for what should belong to you and the service you should have enjoyed." After a little consideration, the red robe The monk decided to make it clearer: "To explain it more bluntly in common language, you were slaughtered."

cost?What did she pay for the Dragon Control Technique?

Petyr looked at Daenerys, his body trembling imperceptibly.

He suddenly remembered: when their little queen rode the dragon east unexpectedly a few months ago, she didn't bring a penny with her, and the only thing of value besides the dragon was herself.But now the black dragon is not only back in good shape, but also looks bigger and stronger... So, could it be...

Daenerys Born of the Storm, her legitimate king and only hope of returning to Westeros, sold her body in exchange for dragon control?

Littlefinger's expression was slightly distorted. He had been in the Red Castle in King's Landing for many years. Of course, he knew how destructive the "black history" could be to the prestige and influence of a public figure like the "King".Robert can be dissolute and disregarding the opinions of the seven kingdoms, because his seat is not stable with the support of his father-in-law and brothers... But Daenerys is an entrepreneur who is about to seize the Iron Throne, and what is even more terrible Yes, she's still a queen!

In this world, people's tolerance for men and women is completely different when it comes to the same thing.

A prince can live among thousands of flowers and be merciful everywhere, but a queen can't!

With a strong mentality of hating iron but not steel, Petyr Baelish quickly began to think about the best plan for public relations and influencing public opinion to minimize the influence of this matter.And Daenerys... After taking a deep breath, she completely relaxed her body.

This is not a trick to induce associations. The black-skinned and red-robed monk in front of him really saw his own experience in the flames.

That's right, she paid a price for obtaining the dragon control technique. In layman's terms, she sold herself.

However, selling one's body is not the same as "selling one's body".Compared to the messy things that Littlefinger is thinking at the moment, what Daenerys is actually doing can be completely understood literally.

***

Asshai is a city steeped in magic, where wizards, alchemists, moonsingers, necromancers, pyromancers, and blood witches practice spells and incantations at will, hold weird rituals, and perform terrifying sorcery... …as if all the transcendent beings, things, and events in the world were gathered here.Daenerys came here riding a dragon across thousands of mountains and rivers, and found that the people here were different from any place she had been to: although they were also curiously watching and pointing at the Drogon she was riding , but did not show the slightest panic or fear... Compared to seeing a dragon, it was more like a group of ordinary people seeing a "good horse" they couldn't afford to ride.

This completely abnormal "normal performance" made Daenerys quickly realize: this place is full of strange people and strange men, and the dragon can't cause a sensation. Perhaps there is really the dragon control technique she wants.

Finding it was easier than imagined: no secrets, no exploration, no adventure at all - the dragon art is actually stored like a commodity on the shelves of a store-like place, and anyone who can pay the price can pick it up!

The thing was there, but how to get it became a big problem-it was more expensive than the Meereen treasury could afford, and she didn't bring the treasury with her.And her intuition told Daenerys that trying to "buy" the Unsullied like in Astapor is neither reasonable nor feasible here.

Then, just talk about the price.

The owner of the cargo resolutely rejected the proposal of paying for the goods first, and asked her to ride the dragon by name directly: Without dragon control skills, Daenerys had three dragons and could not use them; but in exchange for a black dragon for dragon control skills, she Not only can you control the remaining two dragons, but you can even get a complete set of "Dragon Breeding Technique" as a gift, so you can continue to breed more.

It was not an excessive request, but it was a condition that a mother could never accept.Daenerys also resolutely refused and left, riding a dragon while eating and sleeping around Asshai, while thinking about the solution to the matter.Then, the key mysterious person who appeared in her hallucination and made her decide to come here appeared in front of her without warning.

……

Drogon spread his wings and flew away to find today's lunch, while the Quai Lizard who suddenly appeared stood by the river flowing with black water, wearing the floor-sweeping hooded robe he wore the last time he met, and the red paint under the hood The mask was as sharp and angular as ever, reflecting the dim daylight of Asshai.

"I thought I'd never see you again." Daenerys didn't know whether it was a hallucination or a dream, but it was not the first time she had seen each other, and she decided to hurry up and talk about business: "To get to the west, you have to go east; If you want light, you must pass through shadows. It seems that I read correctly, you want me to come to Asshai, here I come."

"You have shown wisdom, Daenerys Targaryen, and I am delighted."

"There are enough sycophants in the court of Meereen!" Daenerys hated the Quail Lizard's pretentious tone: "I found what I wanted, but unfortunately I can't afford it. You said you would buy it for me Show me the way, then help me."

"Reason tells you that untrained dragons will turn your kingdom into ruins; and experience tells you that dragons cannot be exchanged for dragons under any circumstances. Follow the guidance of reason while learning the lessons of experience-this is Wisdom, don't take sincere compliments as flattery." The masked woman's hand stretched out from under the robe, and between her slender and slender fingers was holding a book made of strange material and rolled up. "As for what you want, it's here."

Daenerys couldn't care less about arguing with the mysterious woman—her pupils dilated instantly, and what Quai Li held in her hand was the "Key to Dragon Control" she had seen in the city of Asshai earlier.

"You want it." Quai Li lifted up the book in his hand, then slowly squatted down, and placed it on the boulder at his feet: "The truth is, without it, you can't take back your kingdom at all... and it's a pity And what’s more, without a mentor, you’ll never understand what’s in it.”

"I'm tired of guessing riddles and unfathomable advice!" Daenerys brushed back a lock of silver hair that blocked her view, resisting the urge to run over to get "The Key to the Dragon", "If you are my friend, Then help me master the dragon art!"

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

"What's the price?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

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

"Have a good rest. If you are curious, read this book first. After the preview, we will try to master it." The mysterious woman disappeared as she appeared, beside the cobblestone by the river flowing with black water, there was no hooded robe, There was no red lacquer mask, no dragons, only a book lying alone on a stone.
