Ice and Fire: Reign of the Dragon

The guards stood vigilantly in front of Dan and Baelor. The guy in front of them was indeed a human being. Such strange humans appeared in Volantis and Slaver's Bay. They were collectively called "striped people".

The slave owners in Slaver's Bay who claim to have inherited the Ghiscari Empire regard these striped people as powerful gladiators and unqualified slaves. They will train the striped people who are sold to the city-state, but will not use them on them. Download too many resources.

Because all slave owners know it.

There is probably a big question mark on whether striped people are human beings. They learn things very slowly. Apart from violence, they are useless at anything. Whether it is painting, music, or even the simplest skills in bed, they cannot do well. There were once slave owners in Meereen who tried to study what the striped people were.

But he was soon "surprised" to discover that striped people can only produce offspring with striped people. Striped people's women can only mate and reproduce with striped men. They will only give birth to deformed stillbirths with foreign men, while striped people can only give birth to deformed stillborn babies. Some men are even unable to get foreign women pregnant.

This puzzled the slaver, but the dappled men were indeed brave and good at fighting, and Yunkai's gladiatorial arena was popular in Meereen - just the gladiatorial arena, of course. The Unsullied do not welcome such undisciplined—even untrainable—savages.

Seeing that these strange outsiders were silent, the striped man hurriedly muttered a lot. Belle didn't understand and looked at Dan for help.

Dan frowned and translated softly for Baylor: "What he basically means is, please rest assured that he is not an ogre from a few tribes that cannot be translated. His tribe has a very good relationship with the people without stripes in the north. He knew we brought something that was not in the woods and wanted to trade with us."

He then replied in High Valyrian: "What do you need and what can you offer?"

The striped man jumped up excitedly, pointed to the sword in the guard's hand, and muttered a lot more.

"He said they want salt. If there is no salt, the hard, bright and shiny weapons in our hands can also be used. He can trade with us for edible food, or the gold and spices found by the tribe." Dan translated softly, and the strange Valyrian language spoken by the striped people was mixed with Gughis words, and even some Luo. The unique grammar of the Ina language is difficult to understand: "What he means is very simple, Baylor, there is more than one tribe of striped people. The tribe of this striped people is closer to the edge of the rain forest and has had close exchanges with the so-called civilized society. , they may have bloodshed and other conflicts with the tribes deep in the rainforest, so they need weapons.”

Seeing that Dan and the others did not reply, the striped man was a little anxious. In the rain forest of Sothros, a group of armed strangers was a strange sight, and there were big guys above him. To be honest, he couldn't stand just by hearing their voices. Too stable.

However, the striped people who had never seen the Fire Hunting did not know what those two behemoths were. They only thought that they were related to their biggest opponent, the Pterosaur, and the monsters deep in the rainforest.

Strangers mean change, and they may be prey to those cannibal devils in the south, but for this striped man who has no name, but the people in the tribe call him Gadaguga, which means "smart hunter" Said, these people who can obviously control those two huge long-winged dragons are a huge opportunity.

Seeing that the stranger with whom he could communicate still did not reply to him, Gadaguga decisively pulled out the stone knife, pried open the monkey's head, picked out the brain, and swallowed it into his stomach. Another lot of jabbering.

Dan continued to translate. "What he means is that the blood and brain of the rainforest gibbon monkey have special powers. Carnivorous insects and bloodworms cannot lay eggs and hatch in it, so their meat is safe and we can trade with him with confidence."

"We want you." Dan finally replied, and he signaled the veteran to pull out a bright dagger, which made Gadaguga's eyes light up.

"Be our guide. If you can lead us to our goal, this will be yours."

Gadaguga understood the Valyrian language that Dan was speaking word by word.

He hesitated.

Sothoros's expedition did not affect the drama in Westeros.

King Daeron's body is getting weaker and weaker, and the kingdom has completely entered the "monarch offline" era.

King's Landing, the Red Keep, the Great Council Hall.

Prime Minister Hermann Boll looked at his colleagues with a blank expression.

"Is this the reason why you came to me?"

Earl Pole slammed the table and stood up. Behind the Earl, the tall and strong Sir Quentin Pole also took a step forward and stared at the ministers of the Royal Council.

"His Majesty the King is not dead yet, and you are thinking about the inheritance issue again?"

"Your Excellency Prime Minister, the issue of the kingdom's succession is a major matter for the kingdom." Finance Minister Earl Stokeworth said calmly: "What the kingdom needs is an attitude. Your Majesty fell into coma twice in just three days. No one knows the future. What will happen, Your Excellency, Prime Minister, do you also want to watch His Majesty’s great achievements collapse because of the unclear issue of inheritance?”

"Earl Stokeworth is right." Lord Roland Clinton, Minister of Justice, echoed: "Your Majesty did not clarify the issue of his inheritance, and everyone also knows what the war was about forty years ago. "

"Don't change the subject, Griffin." Earl Herman Pol interrupted Earl Roland. The power of the Pol family in the Conquered Land is no weaker than any traditional great lord. He has every reason to say such a thing.

The position of the Minister of Justice has also been a frequent change over the years. After Lord Forester Frey stepped down due to old age, several nobles have held this position. Finally, after the Baratheon family completely conquered the Stepstones and Daeron conquered the Conquered Land with the help of the Stepstones, Roland Clinton took over the position.

"I just want to ask you one question. When the king is still alive, you are talking about the inheritance of the kingdom." Earl Herman Pol looked coldly at the white-haired captain of the White Knights, Sir Garin Dinwater. "Sir Galin, is this an act of rebellion?"

"Boll, stop accusing us." Earl Andre Farman, the Minister of the Navy, said calmly: "You know the political situation in the kingdom. If you don't make this clear now, the longer you delay, the bigger the problem will be."

After King Daeron's great punishment, he became a clear-cut royalist in the royal meeting, but today he did not stand on Earl Bol's side.

"I've made it clear." Earl Farman did not drag his feet at all: "I just want to ask you, do you want your title, territory and wealth to be handed over to your daughter or grandson?"

He swept through all the ministers in the royal meeting.

No one, even Earl Bol himself, could answer this question.

"That's simple." Earl Farman sighed and said: "It's difficult for His Majesty the King to convey a clear instruction now, so we have to prepare in advance to deal with various emergencies."

"Andre, Herman, speak directly." Earl Stokeworth and Earl Roland Clinton looked at Earl Farman and Earl Bol.

"Do you support the princess or the prince?"

"You are rebelling!" Herman Boll almost jumped onto the table, but Earl Farman and Quentin Boll quickly pulled him back.

"No, this is not a rebellion, Prime Minister." Earl Stokeworth said seriously: "This is the future of the kingdom. When His Majesty wakes up, we will immediately advise His Majesty."

He also stood up: "We will also send ravens to Prince Longzel and the nobles to ask for their opinions."

"Have you had your brain eaten by a sow?"

Earl Boll was shocked. He broke away from his son and Earl Farman, and grabbed the assistant bachelor's collar in one step - the bachelor was treating the king.

"Tell me, you haven't sent out the ravens yet!"

"Prime Minister, we can't release the ravens without your or His Majesty's signature. Let me go, okay?"

Herman Boll let go of the assistant bachelor and took a deep breath. He looked at Earl Stokeworth viciously.

"Your Majesty has shown mercy by not killing you."

He felt sweat all over his back.

If Earl Stokeworth really sent the letter, what kind of signal would it send to the princes?

Earl Bol dared not even think about it.

"No one is allowed to talk about this matter before His Majesty the King wakes up." Earl Bol brought out the dignity of the Prime Minister to act on behalf of the king - although only Longzel could truly act as the Prime Minister to act on behalf of the king, the Prime Minister still had this function after all.

"Violators will be executed for rebellion. That's it."

He glared at Earl Stokeworth viciously.
