Chapter 79 The Garden

Chapter 79 Garden

In the vibrant garden, the chef was cooking carefully. He grabbed a thick spoon and kept stirring. In the pavilion of the garden, there were four chairs. Two of them had people sitting on them, and the other two were

It's empty.

The prince was astonishingly beautiful. He glanced at the cup on the table and said to the wizard beside him: "Your plan succeeded. You made that man our companion, but the plan succeeded a little too much."

The wizard's eyes were burning with the flame of wisdom, "No, everything is still under control."

"Really?" the prince laughed: "There are only three of us left here. Although I hate the other one, after he disappears, who will be next? Am I the one he hates the most, or am I incompatible with him?

of you?"

The wizard looked at the chef who was still immersed in making soup, "I only know that it won't be him."

"Humph, that's good if you know."

The wizard laughed gloomily, "Don't worry, everything is under control!"

From beginning to end, none of them touched the drinks on the table.

【Red Wasteland】

Food and water fell from the sky, and the people around them cheered together after being stunned for a while. Whoever can bring food and water must be a god! While they thanked the gods for bringing food, they distributed the water and food.

It was given to the hungry tribesmen. Daenerys looked at the black dragon with surprise in her eyes.

Once upon a time in Pentos, Daenerys had seen kittens sneaking around the wall in Governor Illyrio's house. The newborn dragons were now almost like kittens... but it was different when they spread their wings.

The wingspan is three times as long as the body. Each wing is a piece of translucent delicate skin, colorful, tightly stretched between the long thin bones. If you look closely, you will find that the body of the young dragon is basically formed by the neck.

, composed of tail and wings.

But she had never heard that dragons could bring food and water. When the water appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground, she was first surprised, and then a look of joy appeared on her face.

Jorah Mormont felt that his worldview was about to be shattered. He had heard about gods, wizards, and magic since he was a child, but he never thought that he would actually come across those things. Over the years, everything he had learned

The only thing he believed in was the sword in his hand. What happened in front of him almost shattered his belief.

He had the intention not to eat these things that appeared out of thin air, but hunger and thirst forced him to change his mind. There was no prey around, and there was no place to replenish the water source. If he didn't eat, he would only die of starvation and thirst.

In this red wasteland.

After solving the problem of food and drinking water, morale became strong again. The animals no longer died, but slowly became stronger. The whole team continued to move in the original direction, without seeing any trace of people along the way. The Dothraki

They began to fear whispers, thinking that the comet would bring them into unknown purgatory. Although the black dragon could bring them food, who knew how long such a thing would last?

If the disciples cannot get out of this desolate land before the god's gift is exhausted, then their entire army will be annihilated.

One morning, when everyone was camping among the wind-worn black rocks, Daenerys went to find Ser Jorah. "Are we lost?" she asked. "Is there an end to this wasteland?"

"Yes," Jorah replied tiredly, "Your Majesty, I have seen the map drawn by merchants. Although few business travelers pass through this place, there are indeed great kingdoms and cities full of wonders in the far east, such as the Yi

Earth, Qarth, Asshai by the Shadow..."

"Will we make it there alive?"

"I dare not hide it from you. The difficulty of this road is beyond imagination." The knight's face turned a little gray, and he was exhausted from the long trek. He suffered a hip injury that night in the duel with Khal Drogo's bloodrider.

He never fully recovered. Every time he got on a horse, he winced in pain and felt very weak even while riding.

"Continuing to move forward may lead to destruction...but I can be sure that if I look back, everything will be over." Daenerys whispered: "At least, we still have dragons!"

She kissed Jorah gently on the cheek, and she felt very inspired when she saw his smile. Even for him, I must be strong, she thought seriously, he is just a knight, but I am of true dragon blood.

The next pool they found had scalding water that reeked of sulfur and was undrinkable. Although their morale was still high, the red wasteland was still endless. Was this comet born to mock me? Dany

Liz looked up at the scars on the sky and thought to herself: Could it be that I traveled halfway across the world and witnessed the rebirth of dragons, but in the end I had to be buried with them in the scorching desert? She didn't believe it.

"Drogon, are you awake?"

Daenerys touched the armor on Lin Mengchu's body with her fingers and whispered: "We have no water."

Lin Mengchu opened her eyes, looked around with vertical pupils, then flapped her wings and flew up. When she flew to a height of more than three meters, a bucket of water appeared out of thin air, and then fell with a "whoosh" sound.

It fell down. Along with the water, there was a lot of food.

She circled in the air and flew for a distance, then landed on the stretcher carried by the women.

Everyone cheered when they saw water and food appearing out of thin air. Jorah Mormont had seen this scene many times, but he was still very shocked. There was deep worry in his eyes, "Daenerys

, don’t you think this is very unreasonable? According to legend, dragons cannot conjure water and food out of thin air!”

Daenerys raised her head and said proudly: "This just shows that I have been favored by fate! I am destined to be like my ancestor Aegon Targaryen, leading three dragons to conquer the entire Westeros!"

She said to Jorah: "If you think there is something wrong with the food and water, you don't have to accept it."

Jorah Mormont sighed, poured water from the bucket and filled his water bladder resignedly. On this dry land, he could survive for several days without food, and without water to drink.

, that is impossible to hold on for even one day.

Daenerys greeted and everyone started to eat. Three little dragons also flew over and rushed towards the bacon on the ground. The black dragon was all black and bigger than the other two dragons.

Unceremoniously, he knocked Viserys away and roared threateningly at Rhaegal.

"Drogon, this is not good. They are your brothers and sisters. You must love and protect them!"

Daenerys stretched out her hand and shared some food with the other two dragons while saying: "You still have two companions, but I am the last Targaryen in the world!"

Jorah Mormont beside him was hesitant to speak. He held the bread in his hand and hesitated for a long time, but finally said nothing.

Early the next morning, they came to a cracked red earth plain and were about to set up camp. The scouts galloped back on horseback. "Khaleesi! There is a city ahead!" they shouted, "white as the moon and as beautiful as a girl. Riding on horseback.

It only takes an hour to get there!”

A smile appeared on Daenerys's face, and she said loudly: "Take me to see it."

When the city finally appeared in front of us, its white walls and white towers shone behind the curtain of air, so beautiful that Daenerys thought it might just be a mirage. "What is this place?" she asked Ser Jorah.

The exiled knight shook his head weakly, "Your Majesty, I don't know. I have never been to a place so far east."

The white wall in the distance symbolizes rest and safety. They can heal and reorganize. What Dany wants at this moment is to fly forward, but she turns to the bloodriders and says: "My blood, please

Come forward and find out what the city is called and how we will be received."

"Yes, Khaleesi!" Ago said.

The Blood Alliance guards came back after a while. Rakhalo dismounted. On his medal belt hung the Blood Alliance gift that Dany had given him: a huge arakh scimitar. Rakhalo said loudly: "Carrie

Hee, that is a dead city, there is no one in it. It is nameless and godless, the gates are broken, and only the strong wind and flies shuttle through the streets."

Jiqi said in a trembling voice: "Once the gods leave, the evil spirits will go out to hunt at night. It is best to avoid such places, as everyone knows."

"Everyone knows." Yili agreed.

"I don't know." Dany put her horse's belly under her horse's belly and ran through the broken arches of the ancient city first, running along the silent streets. Ser Jorah and her bloodriders followed closely behind, and the rest of the Dothraki slowly followed.

Keep up.

I don’t know how long this city has been abandoned, but the pure white city walls that looked so beautiful from a distance have recently been discovered to be ruins. The narrow alleyways in the city are complicated and the buildings are leaning against each other. Their fronts have no windows and are featureless.

Looking at it, it was pale. Everything was white, as if the residents here had no concept of color. They walked through the ruins of collapsed houses exposed to the sun, and there were faded burn marks everywhere.

Passing by a certain intersection of six lanes, Dany saw an empty marble pedestal. It seemed that the Dothraki had come. Perhaps the lost statue was currently in Vaes Dothraki, along with other stolen statues of gods.

Perhaps she herself often rode by without realizing it. Over her shoulder, Viserion hissed.

They camped in the ruins of a long-destroyed palace. The palace square was raging with wind and sand, and devil grass grew among the road stones. Daenerys sent people to search for the ruins. Although some people were reluctant, they still followed the order...

Not long after, an old man with scars came running back with a smile on his face and a bunch of figs in his arms. She regarded these fruits as a gift from the gods and dedicated them to Daenerys.

.

The other searchers reported one after another that they found an orchard in the secret garden of the palace. Ago took her to a courtyard full of vines, with small green grapes hanging from the vines. Qiaogo discovered a well.

The well water was cold and clean. In addition, they found bones, unburied skeletons, pale and broken.

"Ghosts," Yili murmured, "These are terrible evil spirits! Khaleesi, we can't stay here, this is their territory."

"I'm not afraid of ghosts. My dragons are more powerful than ghosts." Daenerys has lost her former weakness and become hard and strong. She ordered: "You and Jiqi go and find some clean sand for me.

You need to take a shower. Stop saying stupid things."

On the stone courtyard wall, Lin Mengchu looked at Daenerys with the vertical pupils unique to dragons. She spent most of her day eating and sleeping, but she could also feel that the girl in front of her was going through a transformation. Look.

After everything she had experienced, Lin Mengchu felt that she had also undergone many changes in herself.

The world in the eyes of dragons is very different from that of humans. Sometimes she will recall how she felt when she was a human, and then compare it with what she sees and hears now, and then some insights will flow into her heart.

among.

Daenerys returned to the shady camp, grilling meat on the fire pit, and thinking about her future plans. There was enough food and water here, and there was also fodder to restore the horse's strength. If she could wake up in a place like this every day

, how nice would it be to linger in the shade of the garden trees, taste figs, and sip cool water?

After Irri and Jhiqui brought back a few bottles of white sand, Daenerys took off her clothes and asked them to wipe her body.

"Khaleesi, your hair is slowly growing back." Jhiqui said as she brushed the sand from her back. Dany reached out and touched the top of her head, feeling the new short hair. The Dothraki man tied his long hair into a knot.

The long, shiny braid would never be trimmed unless defeated. Maybe I should do the same, she thought, so as to remind everyone that Drogo's power is with me. Khal Drogo never cut his hair until his death, not long after.

Someone has such ability.

On the other side of the camp, Lei Ge spread out his green wings, flapped his wings and flew up half a foot. Then he was shot down from the air by Lin Mengchu and fell to the carpet. As soon as he hit the ground, he swung his tail angrily, raised his head and screamed. If I had wings

, I also want to fly, Dany thought. The ancient Targaryen royal family often rode dragons to the battlefield. She tried to imagine what it would be like to ride on the back of a dragon and soar through the sky. It should be like standing on a high mountain.

The peak is just better than that, with the whole world stretching out beneath my feet. If I fly high enough, I can see the Seven Kingdoms and reach out and touch the comet.

Iri interrupted her daydream and told her that Ser Jorah Mormont was outside asking for an audience. "Send him in." Daenerys ordered, her skin still stinging from the sand. She put on the lion's coat

Hraka is much larger than Dany, so the fur covers all the parts that should be covered.

"I brought you a peach." Ser Jorah said as she knelt down. The peach was small enough to fit into the palm of her hand, and it was a little overripe, but she almost screamed out after taking a bite.

Come. After being reincarnated into a dragon, Lin Mengchu could only eat cooked meat. The food he threw out every time was only meat, but never fruit.

Daenerys ate slowly, one bite after another, chewing carefully. Ser Jorah explained that it was picked in a garden near the west wall.

"There are fruits here, well water, and shade." Dany's cheeks were filled with sticky peach juice. "It's so wonderful that the gods brought us here."

"We should recuperate here," the knight suggested. "The weak will not survive long in the red wasteland."

"My maid says there are ghosts here."

"Ghosts are everywhere," Ser Jorah said softly. "No matter where they go, they never leave."

Yes, she thought, Viserys, Khal Drogo, and Rhaegal, they are with me all the time. "Jorah, you know my ghosts very well, what about yours?"

His expression was very calm, "Her name is Linnis."

"Is it your wife?"

"My second wife."

He was saddened by the mention of her, Dany could tell, but she wanted to know the truth. "Is that all?" The lion's skin slipped from one of her shoulders, and she held it in place. "Is she beautiful?"

"Extremely beautiful." Ser Jorah raised his gaze from her shoulder to her face, "The first time I saw her, I really thought it was a goddess descending to earth and a 'maiden' appearing in the world, but my origin is far less noble than hers. She

She is the youngest daughter of Lord Leyton Hightower, who rules Oldtown, and the 'White Bull' who commanded your father's Kingsguard is her great-uncle. The Hightower family has a long history, great wealth, and is very proud."

"They are loyal," Dany said. "I remembered that Viserys said that the Hightowers were among the few subjects who had always been loyal to my father."

"That's right." He agreed.

"Your Majesty, did you ask for a marriage for you?"

"No," he said, "our marriage... Your Majesty, it's a long story, and it's boring. I'd better not talk about it."

"I have nothing to do anyway," she said, "just tell me."
