Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

Faced with Lind's proposal, no one in the entire hall thought it was a good idea except Daenerys, who expressed approval.

Barristan, who was Daenerys's Kingsguard, stood up first and objected: "Your Majesty, you just suffered an assassination not long ago. Obviously there are still a large number of resisters in the city who want to take your life. Now if you Appearing rashly in front of the people, I'm worried that assassinations against you will follow one after another. We may be able to withstand many assassinations, but if we neglect once, your life will be in danger. Please change your mind and stay in the palace. Wait until Lord Harry clears the city of poisonous snakes before considering contacting the people of Qarth."

Although Qiao Ge is the youngest among the bloodriders, he is the most stable. He also stood up and said: "My blood, we are willing to sacrifice our lives to protect your safety, but the poisonous fangs from the dark are hard to guard against, so you should be more cautious."

Several other people also said that Daenerys should stay in the palace to avoid getting too close to the crowd and encountering danger.

Only Sister Lemore and Princess Arianne agreed, but they also believed that Daenerys should not directly enter the slums to contact the lower class people, but should go to the dock area. After all, it is already controlled by their people. , the security situation is much better than other areas in the city, and Daenerys can also contact the merchants stranded in Qarth to restart the originally stopped trade.

Others refuted the two, because even if they control the dock area, it is not safe. There is a mixture of fish and dragons there, making it easier for assassins to take advantage of them.

"Okay, whether and how I should contact the lower-class civilians in the city is our internal matter. There are still guests here. We will discuss it later." Daenerys interrupted everyone's debate and reminded them. They pay attention to the occasion.

After hearing this, everyone stopped arguing, and the hall quickly became quiet.

Lind didn't mind watching more of the scene where they were arguing with each other, because he could see the relationship between Daenerys's people from the discussion just now.

For example, the Bloodriders stand completely alone, and Harry, the leader of the Golden Company, is wooing the fearless Barristan. In the past, Little Aegon's men were marginalized, but Sister Lemore and Princess Arianne seemed to have some contact.

However, Daenerys' inquiry ended his observation and turned his attention back to the topic, "Lord Lynd, why did you come to Qarth this time?"

"I'm just here as Nymeria's envoy to make preparations for her meeting with you, and to serve as a messenger." As Lind spoke, he took out Nymeria's letter to Daenerys. He handed the letter to Raleigh Duckfield who was standing aside, and said: "Nymeria hopes to form an alliance with you to jointly govern the land of West Essos."

"An alliance?" Daenerys was stunned. She was not surprised because of the alliance, but because Nymeria actually offered to form an alliance with her before her, which made her a little flattered.

In fact, a few days ago, she had discussed with Arianne and others about forming an alliance with the country of Lorne, because no matter what they wanted to do in the Essos continent, they could not avoid the country of Lorne. The hurdle.

Today, the country of Lorne is extremely powerful. It is bounded by the Dothraki Sea to the north and Slaver's Bay to the south. The entire Essos continent on the west coast is still struggling to support itself except for the two city-states of Braavos and Volantis. All other city-states have fallen into the hands of the Kingdom of Lorne. Not long ago, both Pentos and Norvos submitted a franchise agreement to Na Sa. After Qohor, they became autonomous city-states of the Kingdom of Lorne. .

Now that the Free Trade City has existed in name only, everyone can be sure that Braavos and Volantis will hand over their military power sooner or later, and then join the Kingdom of Lorne as autonomous city-states.

So when they discussed the follow-up development plan a few days ago, they all mentioned the need to make good friends with the Lorne Kingdom. However, their discussions only stayed on proposals and there was no formal plan for friendship. But now with the Lorne Kingdom However, they had already taken the initiative to propose an alliance, and sent Linde as an envoy with great caution. The Queen of Lorne even wrote a personal letter. How could this not surprise them.

After Daenerys took the letter from Raleigh, she looked at it very carefully. Halfway through, she was shocked by the content of the letter. She couldn't help but stop and confirmed to Linde: "Lord Linde. , Her Majesty Queen Nymeria mentioned in her letter that all of your children have a baby dragon. How many children do you have? "

Hearing Daenerys' words, everyone in the hall showed surprised expressions. They all clearly heard that Daenerys was talking about young dragons, so Linde's three giant dragons were not among them, which made them think of it. Daenerys's three young dragons.

"Five." Linde replied.

"Five?" Daenerys was stunned for a while before saying, "That means you now have eight dragons?"

Lind replied: "If we form an alliance, then there will be eleven dragons."

At this moment, everyone could not help but think of the Targaryen family before the Dance of the Blood Dragons. At that time, the Targaryen family had the largest number of dragons, and there seemed to be more than a dozen dragons at that time.

This made them wonder whether the Dragon Family would reappear in Linde, and they also subconsciously compared the two families.

Although Lind seems to have only three adult dragons now, which is much worse than the Targaryens before the Dance of the Blood Dragons, the Targaryens back then did not have gods like Diltos who mastered powerful magic. Magical dragon, based on this alone, the current Linde is definitely much more powerful than the Targaryen family back then.

They can almost all imagine how powerful Linde's Terra family will be when the young dragons of Linde's children grow up.

"Perhaps forming an alliance with Lorne is a good choice." The same idea came to everyone's mind, including Daenerys.

Daenerys suppressed the shock in her heart, calmed her emotions as much as possible, and then continued to read the rest of the letter.

However, when she saw Daenerys seeing something incredible behind her, a look of shock and confusion appeared on her face, and then a blush spread on her cheeks. At the same time, she couldn't help but look at the man standing at the foot of the steps. Linde.

"Lord Lind, have you read this letter before?" Daenerys took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible.

Lind frowned when he saw Daenerys's abnormal emotion after reading the letter, and felt a little doubt in his heart. Then he shook his head and said, "No. Nymeria sealed it after she finished writing it. I picked it up and opened it after I handed it to you. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"No, it's nothing!" Daenerys smiled, then put the letter away. Instead of handing it to Myrcella, she put it in her arms and kept it close to her. Then she said to Lind: "Form an alliance. This matter is of great importance, and I will make a decision after discussing it with my subordinates. When the time comes, I will personally send an envoy to Na Sa to meet with Her Majesty Nymeria."

Linde nodded and said, "In this case, my mission is completed."

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait, Lord Linde, are you leaving now? I want you to stay for two days and entertain you well." Daenerys stopped Linde and said with a hint of expectation.

"Sorry, I still have very important things to do." Lind rejected Daenerys's kindness and turned and left the hall.

Watching Lind leave in a hurry, Daenerys felt a little confused, because in her opinion, since Lind had been a messenger specifically, it meant that he attached great importance to his alliance with Nymeria. , and he also said that he came to prepare, but why he just sent a letter and left in a hurry, this is obviously a bit abnormal.

"Ariann, do you know why Lord Lynd left in such a hurry?" Daenerys couldn't help but ask Arianne: "When you came here with Lord Lynd just now, did he mention anything? "

Arianne thought for a while and replied: "He mentioned that he was just dropping by to deliver the letter. In fact, he wanted to go to Asshai."

"Ya Xia?" Everyone couldn't help but let out a low cry.

For the people in the hall, Asshai is a very mysterious and scary place. It is full of all kinds of people who master evil witchcraft. Even the bravest people will feel scared when they go there, such as the sea snake family in those days. After Lys Velaryon arrived in Asshai, he did not even dare to leave the docks. He clearly wrote in the book that when he left Asshai, he felt that his soul was torn apart by the magic contained in the darkness of Asshai. A piece stayed there forever.

"Master Linde's visit to Asia may have something to do with magic," Bachelor Halton suddenly guessed: "Assia is the city with the most mages. Lord Linde's Summer Hall also has a lot of mages, and has also established a formal Mage Academy, he may want to go to Yaxia to recruit more mages."

Harry Strickland wondered: "Is it necessary to attach so much importance to mages? I remember that most mages are just craftsmen who perform tricks."

"Perhaps there was no need to pay attention to it in the past, but it may be different now." Arianne interjected: "I recently heard that a pyromancer who performed tricks in the city was suddenly able to cast very powerful fire magic. Not only pyromancers, but also others Those who have mastered magical power have also found that the magic they control has become much more powerful. There is a rumor among them that with the return of the dragon, the magic that disappeared in the world has begun to be restored. "

"Is there such a thing?" Daenerys was surprised.

Missandei, who has always stood beside Daenerys, also spoke: "There are similar rumors among the servants, and some people say that in the burned-down temple of the immortal, they saw the ghost of the wizard appearing, and there were a lot of ghost grass. Growing in Jihain Garden, some people may associate these things with Your Majesty and create unfavorable rumors.”

Daenerys's face turned slightly gloomy. She thought for a moment and said, "Captain Harry, speed up your investigation of the resistance forces and pay special attention to those who spread rumors. Halton, you are responsible for recruiting mages who master real magic. We will also You need to build your own magic force. Qiaogo, Ago, and Rakaro send more people to patrol the streets, and cooperate with Captain Harry to arrest the resistance forces when necessary."

Arianne also suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, the most important thing you should do now is to announce the alliance with the Lorne Kingdom and let everyone know that in the near future, you and the Lorne Kingdom and the Midsummer Hall will To form an alliance, it is even more important to mention that Lord Lind came to Qarth to see you specifically for the purpose of forming an alliance.”

Daenerys hesitated slightly after hearing this and did not immediately agree to Arianne's proposal.

Others agreed with Arianne's proposal, because Lind also had a large number of admirers and believers in Qarth. In the civilian urban areas of Qarth, there is more than one temple of the God of Natural Disasters. Most civilians have faith in the God of Natural Disasters. There is also the Temple of the Storm God in the dock area. Sailors, merchants and people on the docks come and go. Those who do the work are followers of the Storm God.

Even next to the Immortal Palace, the wizards built a temple to the God of Magic. Interestingly, the wizard's Immortal Palace was burned down by dragon flames, but the Temple of the God of Magic, which was only separated by a wall, was not damaged at all. Even the grass and trees were not burned, which was a miracle. This also made the magicians in the city regard the Temple of the God of Magic as their new gathering place.

In the past, the residents of Qarth's belief in the god of natural disasters, the god of storms, and the god of magic was still at the level of pan-belief, but now they see Lind riding a dragon, controlling lightning, and emerging from the storm. Rushing out and landing in the city like gods coming to the world, their belief in Linde and its related gods will definitely show an explosive growth.

If Daenerys promotes an alliance with the Kingdom of Lorne founded by Lind's wife at this time, then Lind will also be equivalent to an alliance with Daenerys, which will be invaluable to Daenerys' rule of Qarth. As a result, those resistance forces may be exposed one by one.

Daenerys also knew that actively promoting the alliance with the Kingdom of Lorne would be of no harm to her, but she did not want to take advantage of it because it would hinder her future meeting with Nymeria. He is naturally inferior to others.

"Your Majesty, do you have different ideas about forming an alliance with Lorne?" Arianne asked slightly worriedly.

"No, of course not." Daenerys shook her head and said: "Being able to form an alliance with Lorne will solve a lot of our troubles, and we don't have to worry about the danger of destruction. Naturally, I strongly agree with this matter."

Arianne looked at Daenerys in confusion and asked, "Why do you still hesitate?"

Daenerys did not answer, but was silent for a moment, and said: "Just do as you say, publicize our alliance with the country of Lorne, and contact the Miracle Chamber of Commerce. We will buy a large amount of food, grass, weapons and equipment from them."

At the same time, in the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in the dock area, Lind, who was about to leave, also ordered the branch director to try his best to assist Daenerys in controlling Qarth, and informed him that Daenerys will be an ally of the Kingdom of Lorne in the future. Also let him publicize this matter and help Daenerys build momentum.
