Chapter 227: Inspection

You can go, but you must listen to me and bring Rhaegal with you.] After solving Daenerys's safety problem, Drogon agreed to her request.

"Drogon, you're so nice!" After saying that, Daenerys picked up Drogon and kissed him hard on the face twice.

The next day, in the throne room, when the meeting was about to end, Daenerys suddenly said, "I plan to go to the Slaver's Bay for an inspection with Drogon and Rhaegal tomorrow. It will take about ten days to return. When I'm away, you should cooperate with Tyrion and don't let anything go wrong."

Drogon: [...]

Listening to Daenerys's righteous excuse, Drogon was speechless.

Inspection? The ministers looked at Daenerys in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly wanted to go to Slaver's Bay.

Although King's Landing is far away from Slaver's Bay, it won't take long to go back and forth with Drogon's speed. Even if he stays in Slaver's Bay for two days, it shouldn't take more than ten days.

And why should we bring Rhaegal along when we can just go on the inspection with Drogon?

"Your Majesty, the Seven Kingdoms have just been settled. It seems inappropriate to go on the inspection now. Besides, there are still many things in Westeros that need your decision."

Tyrion looked at the others and stood up and spoke.

"You can handle those things. I don't have to decide for myself." Daenerys has made up her mind to leave, and of course she will not give up because of this reason.

Seeing the determination in Daenerys' eyes, Tyrion's original intention to persuade her again was dispelled.

With drogon accompanying her, nothing should go wrong, and she can handle it on her own if she's only away for ten days.

When the others saw that Tyrion didn't say anything, they agreed with Daenerys' decision.

Seeing that no one objected, Daenerys was secretly happy. She glanced at Drogon over her shoulder and winked at him quietly.

The news that Daenerys was out on patrol was not made public. The next morning, Drogon carried the excited Daenerys on his back, followed by the equally excited little female dragon Rhaegal, and flew slowly southeast to the Slaver's Bay.

Flying over the Imperial Forest, overlooking the lush treetops swaying in the wind, listening to the rustling sound coming from the forest, the fresh and cool air makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Drogon flapped his wings slowly, as leisurely as if he was taking a walk. Rhaegal stood beside him with a tent and a large backpack tied to his back, which was almost full of Daenerys's clothes.

The man and two dragons prepared all the necessities for outdoor life as if they were going on a trip.

When flying over the nine free cities of Lys and Volantis, they did not land.

Near noon, we turned into the Dothraki grasslands for lunch. It would be difficult to eat mutton on the grasslands in the future.

The Khalasar who was visited was already accustomed to Drogon's arrival and was proud of it.

But he didn't expect that this time, not only Drogon came, but also his fellow green dragon and a woman.

When he learned Daenerys's name, this khal of middle-ranking Khalasar hurried over and knelt on the ground with his people to welcome the arrival of their new empress.

After Jaco and several other khals who had followed Daenerys to fight returned, they announced the ownership of the grassland.

After learning that the Doskala Grassland would from now on be ruled by the Queen of Westeros who was close to the Dragon God, some khals were somewhat resistant, but were suppressed by more powerful khals such as Jaco and dared not object.

As the news that the entire Dothraki prairie was under Daenerys' rule spread, the prosperity of Westeros also spread.

Some of the Dothraki who had followed Daenerys into battle were planning to move to Harrenhal in the heart of Westeros, which made the people on the grassland somewhat tempted when they heard the news.

With the example of more than 40,000 Dothraki who safely crossed the poisonous water, the Dothraki are no longer as afraid of the poisonous water as previously rumored.

Some Dothraki, tired of the nomadic life of nomadic living and fear, came up with the idea of ​​moving to Westeros.

Among them, the Lhazareen, who do not like fighting, are good at growing crops and are contemptuously called "sheep people" by the Dothraki, have the most plans to migrate.

Not only was their tribe excluded by most Khalasars, they were also the targets of looting by powerful khals. The sorceress Mirri who killed Drogo came from the "sheepman" tribe.

After learning Daenerys's identity, many Dothraki who wanted to migrate came to ask her about the situation in Westeros.

Westeros is vast and sparsely populated. Although the southern territory is much more populated than the northern territory, that is only compared with King's Landing. The population in other territories is still very small. Daenerys also hopes to migrate some Dothraki people there to increase popularity.

She patiently explained to the Dothraki who came to ask questions the preferential migration treatment that she and Tyrion had worked out together.

He also used a lot of words to describe the prosperity of Westeros, which made this middle-class Khalasar very excited.

After receiving the warm hospitality of the Dothraki people, Drogon took Daenerys and flew for half a day, arriving in Meereen in the evening.

After Daenerys left, Drogon occasionally flew over the three cities of Slave Bay while foraging in the grasslands to show off and collect the power of faith.

This arrival also attracted many people to stop and watch.

They realized that this time not only did Drogon come to Meereen, but a green dragon several times smaller than him also flew over.

Drogon carried Daenerys directly to the square in front of the largest pyramid in Meereen.

When they saw Daenerys slowly walking down from the dragon's back, the soldiers and people of Meereen realized that their queen had also come to Meereen.

The soldiers hurriedly entered the pyramid and reported the news of Daenerys' arrival to Daeron, an old minister of Rhaegar and the then Governor of Slaver's Bay.

While Daeron was working, he heard the guard report that the black dragon Drogon had come to Meereen again. He was standing on the pyramid watching when he saw Daenerys walking down from the dragon's back.

Without waiting for the soldiers in the square to inform him, he hurried down the pyramid.

He arrived in front of Daenerys in the square, panting, and knelt on one knee to greet Daenerys, whom he had not seen for a long time and whose name needed to be changed.

Daenerys helped Daeron up with both hands and praised his achievements in governing the Slaver's Bay. With Daeron around, she and Tyrion only needed to focus on managing Westeros and the Free Trade Cities.

After entering the pyramid and chatting with Daeron for a while, the former Finance Minister Hizdahr also rushed over after hearing the news and reported the financial situation of Slaver Bay to Daenerys.

Although he was demoted from the Minister of Finance of the Royal Chamberlain to deputy, Hizdahr had no complaints.

His ability is only in the Slaver's Bay. Even if he is given the position of the Empire's Chancellor of Finance, he will not be able to manage the economy of Westeros. It is better for him to manage the Slaver's Bay.

After Daeron, Hizdahr and their deputies reported on various important government matters, they held a simple welcome dinner for Daenerys.

Several former slave owners and current nobles from Meereen were invited, as well as several big merchants from other places who came to Meereen to do business or watch the competitions.

They had also heard about the newly established empire in Westeros in the west. After hearing the news of Daenerys' arrival during the day, they all wanted to get a spot at the dinner party and see Daenerys in person.
