Casting spells

Bachelor Inigo, who was in charge of managing the news, hurriedly took off the note hanging from the raven's feet, glanced at it, and quickly walked to the door of Zhang Cheng's room, and reported in a low voice: "My lord, important news from the other side of the sea. The Daenerys Targaryen you are following captured Astapor not long ago, and gained an army of Unsullied..."

1Chapter 16 Meeting

"Oh? Is this stupid woman finally taking such a natural thing as directly abolishing slavery?" With ridicule full of smiles, Zhang Cheng pushed open the door of the room and walked out.

"Yes, my lord, she not only announced the abolition of slavery in Astapor, but even demanded that all the city-states around the Bay of Slaves must also abolish slavery, or they would resort to force. At present, Yunkai and Meereen The cities are already on combat readiness, and I think it won't be long before the war will break out." Bachelor Inigo replied with a wry smile.

As a bachelor, his obligation was to be loyal to the castle, not to a specific family, so when the Florent family was eradicated, he naturally turned his allegiance to the new owner of Brightwater City.

But people have feelings, and this bachelor obviously sympathized with the Florens family's experience, so much so that he regarded Zhang Cheng as a vicious and brutal lord for a long time.

But as he got along longer and longer, he found that this slightly mysterious young man seemed to be different from what he had imagined. Although he had been clearing out the rebellious noble forces in the territory, he hadn't done anything to ordinary civilians. , at least ignoring the disgruntled peasants.

Don't think that this is normal. On the contrary, most feudal lords simply cannot tolerate the offense of civilians. Once they find any peasant in the territory who dares to criticize themselves, they will immediately ask the other party to look at them.

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Zhang Cheng didn't deal with those disgruntled farmers was not because of kindness, but because he didn't care.

After all, no matter how dissatisfied the peasants are with the lord, they dare not make any substantive acts of resistance. They pay the same tax and have a lot of labor. There is no difference between "trolls", they are all giants in language and dwarfs in action, and they are not a threat to the ruling structure at all.

Taking the note from the bachelor, Zhang Cheng quickly glanced at the content, and then muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Perhaps... I should go talk to Daenerys Tanger now. Let's meet Lian..."

There is no doubt that the process of conquering Slave Bay can be said to be the growth history of "Dragon Mama" from a political idiot to a barely qualified ruler.

At present, she has not tasted all kinds of betrayals. She is a young woman who does not understand anything. She has the characteristics of a strong idealist. It is the period when she is most vulnerable to being deceived and fooled.

"My lord, do you need me to prepare a ship for you?" Bachelor Inigo undoubtedly sensed something, and tentatively asked.

"Boat? Haha, no, I have a better way to travel. Well, go do your work..." Zhang Cheng smiled meaningfully, turned and disappeared at the end of the narrow corridor.

After dark, a huge black shadow rose from the cave in the back mountain of Liangshui City and flew towards the sea.

When it passed by the farm, many horses, cattle, sheep and other domestic animals made nervous noises, and some even ran around in panic, causing a lot of trouble.

But these have nothing to do with Zhang Cheng. He has already ridden on Kuro Kerba, facing the slightly salty sea breeze, and soaring in the endless sky.

At the flying speed of a dragon, he could reach Slaver's Bay in three to four hours at most, see the legendary "Mother of Dragons" with his own eyes, and obtain the information he wanted to know.

The only regret is that riding on the back of a dragon is not as comfortable as imagined, especially when the wind takes away a lot of heat from the body surface. After a while, Zhang Cheng's face turned blue from the cold. Still can't resist.

In order not to be frozen to death during the journey, he had to lower his altitude and continue to move forward while avoiding the ships that might appear on Haiming's surface anytime and anywhere.

When the sun was about to rise, I finally saw the land slowly emerging from the place where the sea and the sky meet.

"Damn it! It's finally here! I swear I'll never ride a dragon for a long-distance trek again!" Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and complained, while directing the dragon to fly over Astapor.

This time, he didn't have any intention of hiding his whereabouts, and he showed the existence of the dragon openly.

The moment Kuro Kerba's huge body passed through the downtown area, the whole city suddenly fell into panic.

You must know that they had just seen Daenerys and her three dragons with their own eyes not long ago, and now suddenly a bigger and more ferocious dragon came, and it would be a ghost to accept it calmly.

Zhang Cheng ignored these ordinary people and went straight to the tallest building in Astapor.

The moment he was about to approach, three young dragons about three meters in length flew out from the balcony at some point, and uttered ear-piercing chirps at their own kind, as if sending some kind of warning signal.

But unfortunately, Kuro Kerba didn't pay attention to these three little ones at all, waving his strong and thick wings, directly fanned them out, and then landed steadily on the spacious balcony.

"Who are you?!" A petite, beautiful woman with silver hair and purple eyes asked vigilantly.

Probably because she had just woken up, she was only wearing a translucent white silk nightgown, and the exquisite curves, twin peaks, and the mysterious area that caused infinite reverie were clearly visible inside.

"Ah, good morning, noble Daenerys Targaryen, I have had a hard time coming to see you. Why, won't I come in and have a hot breakfast?" Zhang Cheng turned over and jumped off the dragon's back, grabbed the back of the other's hand and kissed it lightly.

"Answer my question! Who are you? Also, why do you have a dragon?" Daenerys subconsciously withdrew her hand, frowned and continued to ask.

She couldn't believe that there was someone besides herself who hatched a dragon in this world, and it was bigger and more dangerous than her three dragons.

"It's a bit of a long story, why don't we go in and talk slowly. Besides, you can ask the loyal guard at the door to put down his arms. Please believe me, if I really want to harm you, I would have done it as early as just now. Let's do it." After that, Zhang Cheng glanced at Jorah Mormont who was hiding in the corner, walked into the room and poured himself a glass of wine.

He urgently needs something to drink to warm up his cold body, as for obtaining information, we will talk about it later.

Just like that, under Daenerys' watchful eyes, Zhang Cheng drank the whole bottle of wine as if no one else was around...

1Chapter 17 Conversation

As the alcohol began to flow in the blood, Zhang Cheng's blue face finally had a blush, and his body began to gradually warm up.

Although he knew very well that this warmth was just an illusion, a side effect brought about by dilation of blood vessels, accelerated blood circulation, and increased calorie consumption, but no matter what, it was stronger than before.

Putting down the empty cup and wine bottle in his hand, he turned around and ordered to the maid who barged in: "Go, prepare me a lamb soup and two pieces of bread, and stew a fresh fish if there is one. Remember , don’t put too much spice, I like a lighter taste.”

Obviously, the maid was shocked by this unscrupulous attitude, and hurriedly turned her eyes to her mistress for advice.

But before Daenerys could speak, Jorah Mormont stood up first, and said to the maid in a low voice: "Do as he says, Missandei. And let the Unsullied outside the door leave."

"You recognize him?" Daenerys' eyes flashed a strange color.

"Yes, Queen. Do you remember a merchant who said not long ago that there was a mighty knight in the Seven Kingdoms?" Jorah Mormont whispered back.

Daenerys recalled it for a few seconds, then nodded immediately: "I remember! That knight seems to be called Mason Asprin, right? He could be..."

"That's right! My queen! Standing in front of you is Mason Asprin, who is also known as the invincible Mason. And according to the latest news, he seems to have displayed his power during the Battle of the Blackwater River." A powerful spell destroyed the cavalry that Stannis was so proud of." Jorah Mormont selectively said the information he had just received from Varys.

He was not quite sure why this guy who was marked as "extremely dangerous" by "Octospider" appeared in Astapor, and he was also riding a huge dragon.

"You are the legendary Mason?!" Daenerys raised her eyebrows, with a curious expression on her face.

"Legendary? Hahahaha!" Zhang Cheng didn't know if he was under the influence of alcohol, and suddenly laughed, shaking his head while laughing: "Sorry, I never thought that I would become a legendary figure. After all, I'm not yet 30 years old. Based on the normal life span of human beings, I should still be in the category of young people. So please call me Mason, please don't add any modifiers or adjectives, otherwise I will feel very funny. "

"Okay, Sir Mason. Can you answer my question just now, why do you also have a dragon? Could it be..." Speaking of this, Daenerys paused for a while, and the meaning behind her words was self-evident.

Because Valyria has been destroyed for too long, the world has long forgotten that thousands of dragons were tamed there, so when it comes to taming dragons, the first thing they think of is the Targaryen family.

Obviously, she regarded Zhang Cheng as a member of the Targaryen family, or a part of the Targaryen family blood flowed in her body.

After all, since becoming the master of Westeros, the Targaryen family has married many families in order to maintain the stability of the rule, and even has a large number of illegitimate children. It is not surprising that one occasionally appears.

Of course Zhang Cheng knew what the other party was thinking, so he quickly waved his hand: "No, please don't misunderstand me. I don't have any blood relationship with you, and I don't have the ability to survive fire like you. Strictly speaking, I'm just an ordinary person. An ordinary person who doesn’t know if it’s lucky or unlucky.”

Daenerys obviously didn't believe the words, turned around and glanced at Kuro Kerba lying quietly on the balcony and asked, "Then how did you tame a dragon?"

As the "Mother of Dragons", she knows how wild dragons are, and even she can't keep any of Rhaego, Viserion, and Drogon in peace.

"Hehe, before I satisfy your curiosity, can you satisfy my curiosity in exchange?" Zhang Cheng smiled and blinked, and began to take the initiative in the conversation.

You must know that he flew across the sea overnight not to appreciate the beauty and figure of the other party, but to get some interesting information.

"Yes! Excuse me!" Daenerys agreed without thinking.
