Chapter 26 Baiyun City Lord (recommendation ticket requested)

The Dothraki like to say "everyone knows". When they say this, it doesn't mean that everyone present knows something, but expresses a customary tradition.

In fact, Ma Min's "everyone knows" is still very wise for survival. For example, Dany's maid and bloodrider are afraid of demons and persuade her to avoid the dead city that can save lives.

Ji Qi said, "Once the gods leave, the evil spirits will go out to hunt at night." Is there any reason for that?

This is very reasonable for herdsmen chasing grasslands and rivers.

Why does a city die?

In this era and this world, there are often only two reasons: first, plague; second, war.

Needless to say, the plague, of course, must be avoided.The massacre caused by the war will leave a city full of dead bodies, and the piled up dead bodies will also cause plagues.

Mamin is not afraid of war, but in the face of a plague that is almost irresistible, the germs that cause the plague are the "evil ghosts" in Mamin's mouth.

The ignorant Dothraki, through the bloody experience and lessons of their ancestors for thousands of years, summed up a set of survival rules adapted to this land.

"I have a dragon, and any evil spirits will avoid it when they see it." Dani could only comfort Ma Min in this way.

The "fresh" dead city doesn't need to remind her that "everyone knows", Dany will avoid it vigilantly, but the ruins don't know how many years have passed.No matter what caused its destruction back then, it can no longer hurt them today.

Without delay, Dany immediately ordered: recall the knights looking for water ahead, the khalasar changed the direction of advance, and the first 20 warriors set off at this moment to search for food and water in the White City.

In order to appease the worried Ma Min, Dani also sent the black dragon to follow them all the way this time.

Well, she will enter the dragon dream state and direct the little dragon to act.

Things went more smoothly than she expected. An hour later, the black dragon came to Baicheng with the advance army.

It was a white city as bright as a bright moon and as beautiful as a young girl. The white city walls and white towers shone in the mid-afternoon air curtain, so beautiful that people thought it was a mirage.

Arriving at the outskirts of White City, at Dani's request, the black dragon struggled to fly into the sky from the bamboo basket on Ago's back.

With just one glance, Dani saw a piece of emerald green in the city through Dahei's eyes.

After getting closer, Dany was so excited that she broke away from the dragon spirit state because she was too surprised.

"There are orchards, figs, grapes, and I saw peach trees." She got up and held Doria's hand, her joy was beyond words, "Our team is saved, we can settle there, and farm until Xiaolong grows up Become a giant dragon, hahaha"

In the afternoon, when the sun was still slanting at a 45-degree angle in the sky, Dany eagerly urged the khalasar to leave camp.

"You don't need to spare your energy this time, the journey is only two or three hours away. Ago and the others have prepared fresh fruits and sweet well water. Please work harder, hope is right in front of you." Dani can't wait to hit the horse and gallop.

When they were 5 kilometers away from the White City, a big black flew over and landed on her shoulders, and the sky was plunged into the yellow of the setting sun. Dani and her khalasar finally came under the white city wall.

"I never expected to see such a majestic building in the barren red plain." Sir Jorah said to Dany with emotion in an incredible tone: "Even in our Westeros, such a city is not common."

That is your Westeros, this is my White City.

Dany Violet's big eyes smiled crescent, "I declare that this city is occupied by me!"

Seeing that Dani was so happy, Jorah also joked lightly: "Then ask Her Royal Highness to name your city."

She tilted her head and thought for a while, then giggled and said a word, "Baiyun City", and rode a little silver horse into the city gate.

From a distance, this is a beautiful pure white stone city, and the three-foot-high city wall blocks all the dross behind it.After entering it, I found a ruined wall in front of me, devil grass growing in the cracks between the bricks and stones, and vines spreading in the collapsed house.Dany even saw a thigh-thick jujube tree growing in the center of the street, with sparse shriveled jujubes hanging from it.

Maybe it came from a date pit decades ago?

"How long do you say this city has been deserted?" she asked the people around her.

"Looking at how well it's been preserved, it should be 30 to [-] years old." Jorah said uncertainly.

Dani shook her head, "Absolutely more than that."

She turned her head and shouted to the old man who was holding a branch and standing on the saddle picking dates: "Avanti, come here."

"Oh, Khaleesi, I'm coming."

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa..." The horse stepped on the gray-white stone floor with a crisp sound, and came to Dany in a short while.

"How old are you? Have you heard about this city in these years?"

"Kalixi, you eat jujubes." Afanti obsequiously held seven or eight jujubes the size of a little finger and handed them to Danni.

"Eat it yourself." Dany shook her head.

Only then did Avanti put the jujube in the bag on the horse's back like a baby, and said in thought: "Kalixi, I don't know how long I have lived, the sea of ​​grass often has a season for several years in a row, I am fascinated I can't tell the difference, I just remember seeing winter snow about eight or nine times."

Not to mention the horse people who didn't invent the calendar at all, even the nobles of Westeros, they can't figure out the season and year, and they all rely on the raven reminders issued by the bachelors of the Academy City every year.

The world of Ice and Fire has no fixed seasons. For example, Dany, she only saw snow when she was very young. Like many teenagers of this generation, she is a child of summer.

"When was the last winter? What season is it now?" She turned to the most knowledgeable knight.

Uh, it's a bit embarrassing, under Dani's hands, the savage Xiongdao has become a wise person.

Jorah Mormont scratched his reddened scalp, thought hard for a moment, and said, "When I was the Earl of Bear Island, I seem to have heard the maester say that this summer is very long. It was about six years ago, and now It should still be summer, for 10 years."

He looked at the sultry dark red sky, and couldn't deny that it was still summer.

"You need a bachelor." He sighed and suggested helplessly.

"If a bachelor really comes to me, I'm afraid it won't be long before every nobleman in Westeros has a detailed report on me and my dragon on their desks." Dany said softly, noncommittal .

"It's not that bad, the maester swears allegiance to those he serves," Jorah murmured weakly.

he suddenly thought of himself

Sensing Kalixi's questioning eyes, Avatar was stunned before saying: "In my impression, the Red Wasteland has always been a taboo place that cannot be stepped into."

"Kalixi, look!" Everyone was talking, walking towards the palace in the center of the city, passing a place where six lanes meet, Ago suddenly exclaimed, he pointed to an empty marble pedestal, Said: "The gods of Baicheng were removed by the horse people. There must have been a khalasar here, and it is very likely that a khal plundered this city."

"Huh?" Old Avanti rode forward, circled the marble base in the center of the street twice, and said in amazement: "A horseman really came here, when did that happen?"

"How do you know?" Dany wondered.

"Kalixi, have you noticed?" Avanti pointed at the surrounding blocks while holding his horsewhip, "This is the intersection of six streets, but it is considered the city center, so the marble pedestal should be placed on the marble pedestal. God."

This statement was approved by Dani, she nodded, "And then?"

"Did you forget? Only the Dothraki have the habit of snatching the idols of other nations." Jorah interjected.

When he was reminded, a memory suddenly popped up in Dany's brain. After the Dothraki destroyed the city, they liked to steal their gods or hero statues.

The holy place of the Dothraki people, starting from the Horse Gate, there is a main road running through the Horse King City - the Avenue of the Gods.

Countless statues lined that road, of stone, of bronze, of iron, of carved wood, and even of Valyrian steel.

There are statues of gods, kings and heroes, even the gods and demons of the Shadowlands.

"It seems that the history here is longer than we imagined, at least a hundred years ago. The Dothraki army must have come here because the river hadn't dried up at that time. A few hundred horsemen warriors alone will definitely not be able to defeat this place." A strong city."

As they spoke, Dany and her khalasar had already crossed the block and came to the ruins of the palace in the center of the city.

The horsemen don't want to live in stone houses with ghosts wandering around, so Dany has no choice but to let them build tents against the walls of the tall palace.

It is covered by a wall to keep out the sun.

After everything was settled, Kalasar sat around the square in front of the palace. The soldiers sent ahead collected a lot of fruits, including figs, grapes, peaches, and apples.

Although the fruits are generally underdeveloped, small in size and taste bad, her people greedily stretch out their hands to snatch them, push each other, stuff the fruits into their mouths, and make satisfying chewing sounds.

"The city walls are white, the towers are white, the buildings on the streets are also white, the palace is still monotonously white, and there are white skeletons on the streets. It is pale as far as the eye can see. It should be called the city of bones." Jorah Rubbing his furry arm, he said in a strange tone.

In fact, there are traces of burning everywhere in the city, but the blackness of the burning city has also become mottled with time.

In the dark night, under the bloody light of the red comet, only the sound of wind echoing in the city alleys, like the cry of ghosts, is indeed a bit penetrating.

Dany's two centaur maids were already a little uneasy, and they trembled with fright after hearing the knight's words.

Ji Qi cried: "Kalixi, we can't stay here, this is the territory of evil spirits, listen, they are cursing us in the corner!"

"What City of Dry Bones? Nonsense!" Dani glared at Big Bear, and said firmly, "This is Baiyun City. I am the Lord of Baiyun City. This is my territory."

"Hiss!" Dahei received her message, opened his mouth in a timely manner, and sprayed out a bright red dragon flame 30cm long and the thickness of a thumb.

Long Yan was also mixed with a burst of black smoke, which looked very frightening.

The two maids fell silent.
