Chapter 209 The Night Banquet

"The cat group has almost 8000 members. Young man, do you understand what this means?" Dan Zuo smiled meaningfully, then asked himself and answered: "It means that they have the determination to lose 5000 people, and three thousand members It's the regular establishment of the cat regiment, boy, do you think you will be one of the five thousand dead ghosts?"

"Hmph, anyone can say that, but you Windblown Brigade are not qualified to say it. Last time in Yunkai City, only a few dozen of your 300 members escaped, and the remaining [-] people also came from the Dragon Queen." The redeemed ones, tell me, what is the battle loss rate?" the mercenary of the Cat Group sneered.

"We have a lot of experience." Dan Zuo was not angry, and asked with a smile, "If we meet the Mother of Dragons again, which of the two mercenary groups will have a higher survival rate?"

"Those who are strong can live, not only can they live, but they can also come back with a big victory!" the mercenary of the cat group said proudly.

Dan Zuo shrugged and said to Dorn: "Now you understand which mercenary group to choose?"

"How about we join the Windblown Group?" the black-haired man asked his companion.

"Why?" The bald man was puzzled and said, "Last time, the Wind Blowing Group was almost wiped out."

"So next time if a group is wiped out, it will definitely be another mercenary group." The blond man laughed.

"Hey, what are you talking about? Why didn't the Allied forces win a big victory, why would there be mercenaries wiped out?" the mercenaries of the Cat Group scolded angrily.

"This kind of overly optimistic thinking itself is extremely dangerous. Last time, with the power of one city of Astapor, the Dragon Queen destroyed the [-] troops of Gith without any damage. Now the three cities of Meereen, Yunkai, and Astapor are integrated strength, the Allies may win miserably, but not completely."

The blond man made a mockery, and then directly pulled his companion towards the Windblown Group.

"Sorry, I'm late." At this moment, the big brother Moonsinger in a floral dress trotted to the side of the giant elephant, and he was accustomed to stepping on the human ladder, and explained while climbing: "I didn't mean to To waste everyone's time, when I received the news of Lisbon's death, I spent the afternoon prophesying in my bedroom, and the result, alas, was very unclear."

Dany moved to the side and asked curiously, "What are you prophesying? Dragon hatching?"

"Heh, the miracle of hatching a dragon is too far away from me. I just don't want to be the next Lisbon and predict whether there will be any danger at the banquet tonight." Moonsinger smiled wryly.

"Crack!" Dani slapped the boss on the shoulder, and said with a big smile, "Why do you need to predict such a simple question? Let me tell you, just wear a layer of iron armor under the mage's robe!"

"But iron armor will prevent—"

"I know!" Dany waved her hand, "You wear armor when you go out, and you take it off before you go home to cast your witchcraft?

Well, the lethality of witchcraft is too low, so I have to learn another skill to protect the way, not the kind of way to support the family, but a fighting technique similar to assassins and knights. "

"Would that be too much?" Moonsinger was confused, not knowing what to say.

too indecent?

Can it be more indecent than using "skills to protect the Tao"?

too difficult?

Can it be harder to learn than witchcraft?

Glancing at the long sword beside Dani, there seemed to be a phantom in front of Moonsinger's eyes, a blue-robed great wizard who was wielding a big sword with both hands and slashing people while releasing fire witchcraft

Seems like a lot of fun?

"It's better to work hard to make money and use the money earned to train a few trustworthy guards!" Shadowbinder Tam said lightly.

This is really very interesting, it is worthy of being one of the Big Three!

Moonsinger immediately put aside the weird idea of ​​"Wizard of the Great Sword" and thought, which big water fish should I find to use the "Skill of Protecting Dao"?

It costs too much to live in the upper house, and the money in hand is not enough to hire guards!

While the big brother Moonsinger was contemplating, Shadowbinder handed Dany a booklet, "This is "The Illustrated Book of Gods and Demons". Since you want to become a Shadowbinder, it is impossible not to deal with the devil."

Dani flipped through a page, on which a three-headed black-scaled monster was drawn in a technique similar to a meticulous painting, and its lower body was a distorted shadow.

It is also marked in Valyrian language on the side: Askazan Modexis, magic can stimulate the most primitive desires of human beings.In blood witchcraft, desire is the source of power. To complete the sacrifice, the ashes from the liver of the red carp and the heart of the ram should be used to smear the body to drive away the remaining power of evil spirits.

"What's the use of this Erinite? I remember that many pharmacists can prepare green potions." Dany asked doubtfully.

"Pharmaceuticals cannot activate the power in the blood, just like the blood witchcraft I performed last night. Before taking the blood, you must use green desire to activate the magic in the noble blood."

"You've been emphasizing 'noble person', can't ordinary people do it?"

"A very simple example, can the blood of the Dragon Queen be the same as that of street mercenaries?"

Dani nodded. This is a different world, and there are really high and low bloodlines.

"Layla, remember one thing." Shadowbinder solemnly warned: "You can sacrifice to evil gods, you can borrow their power, but you must never believe in them. The fundamental difference between witches."

Tamm's ability is estimated to be quite a bit lower than that of Quesy, but she is far easier to get close to than Quesy. She enthusiastically explained to Dany the common sense of the extraordinary world and some taboos of Shadowbinders.

Apart from not directly teaching her witchcraft, Tamm was pretty much fulfilling the role of a mentor.

"It's here." The big brother Moonsinger reminded.

While talking with Tam, the elephant crossed the long bridge to the East City, and soon entered the gate of the Black Wall City. After walking for about ten minutes on the ancient Black Stone Street, it finally came to a black stone towering to the south of the Black Wall. The gate of the tower.

Unknowingly, the golden red sunset glow dimmed, and torches and lanterns began to rise nearby.

There were seven or eight white elephants parked in the elephant pen, and there were more than a hundred gorgeous sedan chairs neatly arranged on the lawn in front of the black tower. It was obvious that the three of them were not the first group of visitors.

Dany hung the long sword on her waist, and climbed down the rope ladder first, and then the Shadow Binder and the Moonsinger walked down the elephant's back steadily on the human ladder.

An old butler with silver hair and blue eyes was waiting at the door. His face was very neatly repaired. He was wearing a very elegant purple dress and matched with his meticulous demeanor, giving people a sense of ancient solemnity.

"Wizard Tam, the master has been waiting at the top of the tower for a long time."

"Sorry, we are late." Shadow Binder bowed slightly.

The butler nodded, and winked at the blond young man in pure white robes beside him. The young man immediately stepped forward and saluted the three mages respectfully, "You three, please follow me."

After speaking, he took the lead to walk to the stairwell on the side of the hall.

The owner of this tower of Babel completely followed the tradition of ancient Valyria, the higher the floor, the higher the status of the occupant.

The lobby on the ground floor is very spacious, covering a full [-] square meters, but it is just a storage room filled with beautiful wine barrels. The second floor stores rice, noodles and other food, the third floor is the kitchen, and the fourth floor is the servants. Bedrooms, the fifth floor is the bedroom of the upper servants, the sixth and seventh floors are the residences of Valyrian servants, starting from the eighth floor, there are the master's opera house, library, fencing hall, bonfire hall, and dining room

The Babel Tower belonging to the Maegia family has a total of [-] floors. Malaccio's bedroom is on the highest floor, but he doesn't often live here.

There is also a group of villas with gardens near Tongtian Tower, which is the daily residence.

After all, even in the time of Valyria, the nobles of Volantis had no dragons, and they built the black tower only to welcome the visiting dragon king.

At this time, the top of Tongtian Pagoda has been covered with a colored glass dome, and it has become a place for holding large banquets.

Exquisite colorful lanterns are hung in pieces on the dome, emitting colorful light under the night, and the colored light is reflected by the colored glass, turning the whole venue into a dream stage.

There are no extra buildings under the dome, only a circular fountain pool of [-] square meters is built in the center. With the light shaking of the lantern, the umbrella-shaped crystal water curtain flashes in different colors, which is so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.

The top platform is wider than the foundation, almost 300 square meters, but there are no less than [-] people gathered in this place at this moment.

Well, most of them have silver hair or bright gold hair, purple or blue eyes, and wear exquisite Valyrian silk robes in a classical style. Except for old and fat people, no matter men or women, all of them are attractive in color.

On the north side, an arc-shaped stage is built near the glass wall, on which a warm-colored green blanket is laid, and more than 20 musicians play soothing and brisk music on it.

Such a dreamy environment, such a beautiful person, and such melodious music can only intoxicate people physically and mentally, as if they have come to a paradise on earth.

Shadowbinder and Moonsinger were obviously a bit cautious. Only Dani looked left and right, stood on tiptoe to look around, and complained after watching, "The lights dazzle me, this place is only suitable for disco."

"Wizard Tam, this way!" Someone waved to this side.

Standing in the corner of a knight's armor, there are six strange people in strange clothes, well, as strange as Dany's three.

"It's Bu Cheng and Corbett." Tam whispered to Dani, and then took the lead and walked over there.

On the way over, Shadow Binder had already explained to Dani the situation of the other two giants, Bucheng, a necromancer from Yidi, and Corbett, a black goat priest from Kohor.

They also brought two confidant mages each.

Danni was amazed by Bu Cheng's attire and demeanor. With a square face and purple face, a tall crown and a belt, a red gown, a long beard hanging down his chest, and a short sword pinned to his waist, he was almost a "Westernized" scholar-bureaucrat of the Ming Dynasty. .

Well, he also wears dark gold shoulder pads on both shoulders, and a gold silk vest on his upper body.

Remove the shoulder pads, vest and waist dagger, and directly enter "Da Ming Feng Hua" without violating the harmony.

Nine "creatures" gather together, and Bu Cheng, who has an extraordinary temperament, seems out of place, but his profession is even more terrifying than that of a shadow-binder.

Necromancer!

Except for Dani, the other eight people have met countless times, so Tam only introduced Dani once, and then introduced the rest of the people for her.

"After the accident in Lisbon, I thought Priest Layla would choose to become a Fire Mage, but I didn't expect to change her job to become a Shadow Binder." Bu Cheng stroked his beard and said strangely.

The four younger brothers brought by the two big brothers, three fire mages, and one alchemist.

Well, that alchemist is still a fellow Dany, from the King's Landing Alchemists Guild in Westeros.

However, they are alchemists in name, but they are actually called "fire warlocks" more appropriately.

They were the ones who helped the mad king Aerys roast the Duke of Stark, and they were the ones who helped the mad king plant wildfires in King's Landing, preparing to burn the city with fire.
