Chapter 19: A spontaneous trip

Although she had other plans, Viserion must have thought in his heart that his mother no longer wanted him.

But in order to obtain these more than 8,000 Unsullied and to liberate them from Kraznys, she had to do this.

Arriving at the Unsullied's camp, Daenerys raised her short whip high and shouted in Valyrian: "Unsullied, advance!"

" Stop

!"

"Unsullied, kill the guards, kill the whip bearers and the good masters, kill those who abuse you, and spare only the women and children under thirteen."

Upon hearing Daenerys's order to the Unsullied, Jorah and the Dothraki warriors immediately drew their weapons and rushed towards the guards.

"You speak Valyrian!" Seeing the chaos around him, Kraznys, who was busy subduing Viserion, finally had time to hear the orders given by Daenerys.

"I am Khaleesi of the Great Grass... Daenerys Targaryen, Mother of Dragons. I am of the ancient House Targaryen. Valyrian is my mother tongue," Daenerys declared.

Kraznys then realized that he had been in a trap set by Daenerys. Just as she was about to speak again, she heard an ancient word from Daenerys' mouth that even he couldn't understand: "Dracarys!" (Dragon Flame)

Viserion, who was being led by him, opened his mouth wide and spewed out blazing dragon flames that instantly submerged him. He howled as he loosened the melted chains, fell to the ground, and gradually curled up into a pile of charcoal.

Drogon also flew off Daenery's shoulder, using dragon flame and claws to kill the Circle Guards and the Good Lord.

Only the Unsullied guards were putting up a stubborn resistance in the clearing; the Good Lord had already been frightened by the dragon's might and was fleeing in all directions.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the resistance fighters were wiped out. The Dothraki were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and looting the property. Daenerys walked to Viserion, whose chains were half melted, opened his shackles for him, and put her arms around his neck to comfort him gently.

After playing with fire a few times, Rhaegal happily rubbed against Daenerys. Drogon didn't want to hang out with the little brat, so he flew into the air to watch the Unsullied team.

More than eight thousand Unsullied wore spiked helmets, held shields and spears, stood upright, with one hundred people in a square formation. Nearly a hundred square formations were neatly arranged on the open ground, looking extremely majestic.

Daenerys orders Jorah to lead the Dothraki warriors and the Unsullied to plunder Kraznys House and free the slaves.

The Dothraki were strictly prohibited from killing people without reason and raping women. Part of the looted property was given to slaves, and part was kept as food for the Unsullied.

The Unsullied are divided into small teams to patrol Astapor, hunting down the remaining forces of the Good Lord and maintaining order.

At night, Daenerys and the other two discussed their next move. Jorah and Barristan agreed this time and both wanted Daenerys to go to Pentos to gain a foothold first, and find a way to collect enough large ships to cross the Sea of ​​​​War to participate in the fight for the Iron Throne.

But after seeing the miserable plight of the slaves, Daenerys decided to go to Yunkai and liberate the slaves there.

Seeing that they could not convince Daenerys, Jorah and Barristan gave up.

Listening to their discussion, as a dragon, Drogon felt a little bored. The situation in Astapor had been decided, so he decided to take a long journey to Westeros.

It's a rare opportunity to come to this world and become a dragon. It would be a waste of my life if I don't travel around.

At his current flying speed, it shouldn't take too long to travel to Westeros.

He learned from the conversation between Daenerys and Jorah that Pentos was more than 1,500 kilometers northwest of Astapor, and Dragonstone was just diagonally across the Sea of ​​​​War.

He remembered that there was a huge and vivid sandbox of the continent of Westeros on Dragonstone. With that sandbox, it would not be easy for him to get lost when he entered Westeros.

That night, Drogon secretly took Jhiqui's flint and hay bales, and took some gold and silver coins from the looted wealth of Kraznys, and put them in a sturdy backpack. At daybreak, he began a spontaneous journey.

...

In the morning, after Daenerys finished washing up, she discussed with Jorah and others. Since she hadn't seen Drogon yet, she asked Jhiqui to go look for him. As expected, he was not found, and Jhiqui's flint and hay bale were not there either. Daenerys knew that Drogon was out wandering again and no longer cared about him.

At this time, Drogon had already flown over the Free City and should be not far from Pentos. During this time, he went to the grassland next door to fill his stomach and left a few brilliant coins for the Dothraki.

Although they have no currency and use barter, they also have transactions with cities such as the Free Trade Cities, and they can exchange things with Huibi.

As Drogon flew, he would occasionally land in cities to inquire about news. Of course, the landing location was relatively hidden and would not be discovered. With his maximum speed as a larva, people who saw him would just think they were dazzled.

Now is not the time to expose themselves in the cities outside the Slaver's Bay. He made such a big fuss in Qarth and Astapor. With the spies of the Octopus Spider Varys, they must have known about the existence of the three dragons and their strong fighting power.

Drogon suspected that the reason why there was no threat from King's Landing was that Varys concealed the information about the three dragons or blurred the content of the information.

Of course, it is also possible that the Lannisters in King's Landing learned about the dragons and had no time to care about other things, allowing the situation to develop.

Both possibilities are possible. Given Varys's ability to judge the situation and his lofty ideals of serving a wise lord and being loyal to his people, he should have regarded her as a reserve queen since the beginning of the Dragon Queen's life.

Tyrion the Devil killed his father, and the fact that he took Tyrion away to seek refuge with Dragon Queen shows that he had already made plans.

Even though Varys already knew about the existence of the three dragons, it didn't mean that the people of Pentos knew about it too.

If he showed up openly, it would inevitably bring unnecessary trouble. It would be difficult to deal with if the Lannisters sent an army to kill the dragon, after all, Rhaegal and Viserion were not grown up yet.

After hiding in the cabin at the dock for a while, Drogon found out where he was, Tyrosh, one of the free trade cities, only 200 kilometers away from Pentos.

It took him twenty minutes to reach Pentos, but he was in no hurry to leave. It was here that the Mother of Dragons married Khal Drogo and became Khaleesi of the Grasslands.

He planned to taste the food here, fill his stomach, and then cross the Narrow Sea.

The population density of Pentos is similar to that of Qarth. As a port city, its docks are also extremely prosperous.

It has close trade relations with Westeros and has an important land route directly to the Dothraki Sea, with an advantageous geographical location.

The people of Pentos on the streets like to braid their beards and dye them in other colors, which reminds Drogon of a wildling chief with a big red beard who seems to have the same look.

In order to find food, he went into the tallest and most magnificent courtyard.

I followed the smell and found the kitchen. In addition to the ingredients prepared for lunch, there was also a wealth of food in the storage room.

Secret roast duck, exquisite cakes, pies, candied dates, and unknown fruits.

Unable to transform into an adult, drogon had to chew food slowly, so he could only patiently stuff food into his mouth.
