Chapter 54: Astapor

Chapter 54: Astapor
This day, the wind is sunny and sunny.

The brig sailed out of the port of Qarth and headed towards Astapor.

The journey is long and may take several months.

Therefore, before leaving, everyone bought enough supplies.

Especially fruits, it is easy to lack vitamins without fruits.

Ye Qi’s storage ring is a great place to store fruits.

At the same time, more than a dozen sailors were hired to steer the boat and drive it.

Ye Qi stood at the bow: "Let's go, Astapor, I will be the Pirate King!"

Everyone looked at Ye Qi in confusion, not understanding what he was talking about.

"Ye Qi, do you want to be the Pirate King?" asked Mother Long.

Ye Qi smiled and said, "It's just that during this period of time at sea, when I reach Astapor, I will no longer be the Pirate King."

Mother Long smiled happily. She was very worried that Ye Qi would suddenly leave her.

During this period, Dragon Mother's three baby dragons grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Three young dragons soared through the sky, flying alongside the ship.

They already have the ability to spray fire.

But the Mother of Dragons felt that they were not growing fast enough, because they still could not play a role in the war.

If she wants to take back the Iron Throne, she has no way of fighting against the powerful Seven Kingdoms with her current military strength.

Ye Qi has 20,000 second-level snow dragon riders, but he will not mention this matter to the Dragon Queen.

At this moment, the Mother of Dragons desperately wanted an army.

After months of sailing, everyone finally saw the port of Astapor.

Ye Qi no longer wanted to be the Pirate King. The sea voyages of the past few months had made him a little thin, mainly because he vomited a lot.

Jorah said, "We will reach Astapor by sunset."

At sunset, Ye Qi saw the beautiful scenery of Astapor.

The setting sun illuminates this huge city.

Here, one can purchase the most powerful warriors in the world, the Unsullied.

And the person who owned them was the city's largest slave owner, Krasnyi.

Upon learning that the Mother of Dragons had arrived in Astapor, Kraznys took the initiative to go out of the city to greet her.

The Unsullied were lined up in black armor, no expression visible on their faces.

Kraznys led everyone through the group of Unsullied and came to the platform in front.

Kraznys spoke the local dialect, and a dark-skinned woman beside him translated.

Kraznys describes the training methods of the Unsullied.

The selection and training methods of the Unsullied are extremely harsh.

They began training day and night at the age of five until they mastered three weapons to kill the enemy: the short sword, the shield, and the spear.

Then they fight with their companions.

In each group of four boys, only the one who is alive remains.

Kraznys continued: "They were absolutely obedient, absolutely loyal, and had no fear."

Jorah snorted. "Even the bravest men fear death."

Kraznys glanced at Jorah with disdain.

"The Unsullied are not men. Death is nothing to them."

Kraznys then walked towards one of the Unsullied.

He had one of the Unsullied step forward.

Then Kraznys threw away his shield and drew a dagger from his body.

Kraznys used his dagger to cut off a piece of flesh from the Unsullied's chest.

The Unsullied One stood there without changing his expression or saying a word.

"Okay, that's enough!" Kraznys patted the Unsullied with satisfaction. The Unsullied said, "I am willing to serve you, my master."

Kraznys turned around and said proudly, "If the Unsullied want to win a shield, they must go to the slave market with a coin, find a newborn baby, and kill it in front of its mother. This way we can be sure that there is no weakness in their hearts."

The Dragon Mother was horrified when she heard this. "You snatched a baby from its mother, killed it in front of her, and then paid her a silver coin for her pain."

Kraznys smiled: "The money is not paid to the mother of the children, but to their masters. Don't forget that they are slaves."

Daenerys suppressed her emotions. "How many Unsullied do you have for sale?"

Kraznys held up eight fingers, with a total of eight thousand Unsullied soldiers available for sale.

"Make a decision by tomorrow at the latest. There are still many buyers interested in this."

After saying this, Kraznys left.

Everyone wandered around the city of Astapor.

The Mother of Dragons was indignant. Eight thousand Unsullied represented eight thousand dead babies and more than twenty thousand former companions.

There were slaves everywhere.

They work for their masters without any pay, just to survive.

The Mother of Dragons has some reservations about having this group of Unsullied troops.

"Who am I if I own an army of slaves?"

Jorah said, "Do you think these slaves will be better off with Kraznys than with you? You won't order them to kill babies, and you'll keep them fed and housed. They'll still suffer great misfortune, and closing your eyes won't change that fact."

The Mother of Dragons thought about it and decided that it would be better for them to follow her. She would treat these slaves the same way as ordinary people.

At this moment, an innocent girl appeared in front of everyone.

The little girl took out a black ball and rolled it over from the ground.

The Dragon Mother picked up the black ball on the ground, and the little girl motioned for her to unscrew it.

At this moment, a man in a black robe with a hooded head appeared and snatched the black ball from the Dragon Queen.

The black ball fell to the ground and a terrible bug ran out of it.

The bug ran towards the Mother of Dragons and was stabbed to death by Ye Qi with a sword.

"What the hell is this?"

Ye Qi felt a little disgusted when looking at the bugs.

I looked at the little girl again, and found that her appearance had changed, with the corners of her mouth turning black.

The kind girl made a devilish sound.

Wang Jian was about to catch her, but the little girl jumped into the river and disappeared.

The only one left was the man in black robe who had just knocked the black ball out of Dragon Queen's hand.

Everyone looked at the man in black robe, not knowing who this guy was.

The Dragon Mother said gratefully: "I owe you my life, sir."

"It is my pleasure, Your Majesty."

The man in black robe lifted his cloak, revealing his white-haired face.

The Mother of Dragons didn't know this person, but Jorah recognized him at a glance.

Jorah introduced him: "He is one of the most powerful warriors in the Seven Kingdoms and the captain of Kingsguard to King Robert Baratheon."

Ye Qi looked at these unfamiliar characters and started searching using Baidu.

After a search, Ye Qi got the information of the white-haired captain of the Royal Guard.

It turns out that he was once a member of the Kingsguard of Dragon Mother's father, one of the most powerful knights in the Seven Kingdoms, nicknamed Barristan "The Fearless".

He once swore allegiance to Dragon Mother's father, the Mad King, but after Dragon Mother's father died, he broke his oath and was loyal to Robert.

"King Robert is dead, and I have sought you, Daenerys Stormborn, to ask for your forgiveness. I swore to protect your house, and I failed to keep that promise."

As he said this, Barristan knelt on one knee in front of the Dragon Queen.

"I am Barristan Selmy, your father's Kingsguard. Please allow me to serve as your Queen's Guard. I will do my duty this time!"

Barristan bowed his head and swore allegiance to the Dragon Queen.
