Chapter 66: Zha Luo's Request
Looking at the exquisite wooden box handed over, Dany's smile froze for 0.1 seconds, and then she asked casually: "Does Zha Luo like that yellow jacket?"
"My lord likes it very much, and he feels very guilty for leaving you so soon - I didn't treat you well!" The butler said respectfully.
"Haha, if there is a chance to meet again, I will give him a hat with three-eye feathers, which will match the yellow jacket and make him feel extraordinary."
She waved to let Whitebeard, who was about to help check the box, step back, and took the box and opened it.
Inside was a necklace, a thin chain woven with fine gold wire, and the gold chain was wrapped around a glittering green beetle, which was obviously carved from top-quality jade.
"Very beautiful, I like it very much." Dany smiled like a flower, and reached out to pick it up.
"Princess -" Whitebeard seemed to stop him, but his eyes fixed and he stood there.
Butler No. 8 lowered his eyes and murmured: "I'm sorry."
His voice was as soft as a mosquito, and he didn't seem to think about letting others hear it.
Dany took the green beetle in her hand and turned it over, and asked casually, "What do you regret?"
"Uh--" The steward of Qarth looked up suddenly, his eyes bulging, and he could hardly believe what he saw: the manticore used to poison Dany was stiff in her hand, as if it had really turned into emerald.
"You regretters are so long-winded. You have to say 'I'm sorry' after killing someone."
Dany seemed helpless and shrugged, "It's okay if it happens to people with poor hearing and eyesight, like now, I have sharp ears and eyes, I can hear your voice and see your lips open and close.
The famous quote of the Qarth Assassin's Guild is 'I'm sorry'. I know it's a pity!"
"Why is this happening?" The regretter almost collapsed. Did the manticore he placed die? It shouldn't be. He is experienced and has assassinated hundreds of people with similar methods.
"Khaleesi, he is an assassin?!" Aggo and Karalo only reacted at this moment, drew their scimitars, and angrily went up to kill him.
"Blood of my blood, stop!" Dany stopped the two and turned to the Regretful Guest and said, "Just think of you as a gift. I like this bug very much. Go away."
"You... you won't kill me?" The Regretful Guest was in doubt. He stared at Dany's eyes and retreated carefully to the gangplank.
"Why should I kill you? The one who hired you was Haiya, right?" Seeing his pupils suddenly shrink, Dany knew that she was right. "You probably didn't notice just now? The white-bearded guard beside me has seen through your identity. The cost of killing me is too high. Think carefully when you accept a mission in the future.
At least think clearly about which consequence is more serious, offending the Mother of Dragons or rejecting the wizard. Well, if the wizard's magic is really so magical, why let you come here?"
"Bang, bang, bang" The Regretful Guest retreated to the gangplank, jumped and ran without saying a word, and soon disappeared into the crowd.
"Sorry!" Sir Jorah blushed. He didn't see the flaws of the Regretful Guest. Compared with the alert and experienced Whitebeard, he was a long way behind.
"Hey, Belvos should apologize, Belvos didn't see it either." The fat eunuch also blushed, and he was so embarrassed that he just rubbed his hands.
"You are warriors, and you are not used to being bodyguards. You should slowly accumulate experience." Dany said lightly.
"Why didn't the scorpion tail beast hurt you? Is it dead?" Whitebeard asked in confusion.
"Pah!" Dany threw the jade-like beetle on the ground.
"Squeaky squeaky" The beetle was like a Transformer, hissing and spreading its body, claws popped out from under its body, and a tail with a human face suddenly stood up at the end of its tail.
The human face at the end of the tail was larger than its torso, hideous and terrifying, with eyes, nose and mouth, lifelike.
On the forehead of the human face, the tail needle flashed with a dark purple cold light and quickly retracted and retracted, making a strange "hissing" sound, which made people shudder.
"The poison of the scorpion tail beast goes straight to the heart, which is very vicious. This scorpion tail beast has been specially cultivated, and the color is more colorful, almost indistinguishable from real jade." Whitebeard murmured.
Dany stood up and walked to Big Black, saying, "Where the real dragon looks, all beasts lie low!"
The black dragon had sensed the danger almost at the same time as Whitebeard, and without Dany's order, he took the initiative to use his mental power to lock the scorpion tail beast tightly, so Dany could play with it as if it were a real jade pendant.
Later, when Dany threw away the insect, Big Black withdrew his mental pressure and continued to lie on the ground to suck the bone marrow, so that the scorpion tail beast could continue to move.
Jorah stepped forward and stepped on the poisonous insect to death, and said solemnly, "We must leave as soon as possible."
Blackbeard Grolai shook his head and said, "The sea ship can only leave after the tide rises at night. We don't need to receive those dragon visitors in the afternoon, right?"
Dany thought about it and accepted his suggestion.
However, when the sea ship was about to set sail in the evening, a guest came. Zha Luo sat in a bullock cart and hurried over with a group of servants.
Dany received him.
"That regretful guest is not my man." He said anxiously.
"I know."
Zha Luo was stunned for a moment, then he said in annoyance: "Those damn regretful guests, just assassinate them, why do they act in my name? You are the guest I swear to protect, if outsiders misunderstand that I broke my oath and murdered my own guest, then..."
"My kind good man, my lovely star of heaven!" Tears came and flowed down his cheeks like a stream, which was particularly funny with the colorful jewelry on his nose.
He rushed to Dany, holding her hand, and cried out in despair: "Help me, you must help me."
"Help with what?" Dany seemed to have a slug crawling up her back, and she was so nauseous that she was about to vomit.
"Help me announce to the world that the regretful guest was not sent by me, and I did not break my oath." At this point, he suddenly shouted loudly, "Oh! Damn it, I should have sent a team of guards to guard this broken ship until you completely leave Qarth."
"What are you talking about, my baby 'Cedurion' is beautiful!" Captain Grolai said angrily.
Zha Luo ignored him and continued to be annoyed, "Such a mistake occurred on the last day. I should have thought of it earlier. The group of wizards have been secretly planning. Damn it, after leaving Qarth, you can assassinate, poison, and curse as you like-"
"Ahem." Dany coughed loudly to remind this scumbag that she was still here!
"Oh, my sweetheart, what do you think?" Zha Luo looked at her pitifully.
"I also want to help you, but the ship is about to leave," Dany spread her hands and said tentatively, "How about I write a letter?"
"No need for a letter, that thing is useless. Justice and credibility lie in people's hearts." Zha Luo shook his head.
Well, this shameless guy has some sense!
Giving a thumbs up to Zha Luo in her heart, Dani asked, "What should I do?"
Zha Luo said calmly, "The news of your assassination is only circulated in a small circle at this time. We must first let everyone know what kind of person I am.
In this way, every time you arrive at a port, you will tell and praise my hospitality to you and the deeds of your barbarians. When rumors against me spread, no one will believe it. "
At this point, he sighed again, beat his chest and stamped his feet, saying: "What a pity, what a pity that you have to return to the Sunset Sea, most of my trading partners are in the Jade Sea."
Understand your character?
Shameless!
At this time, everyone on the deck looked at him with contempt.
"Okay, every time I arrive at a city-state, I will mention your generosity and wealth to the people who receive me." Dany said with a smile.
"Thank you so much, my star of heaven!" The fat man began to wipe his tears again.
"By the way, I want to remind you again." Zha Luo also saw the eyes of Jorah and others, and felt that he should come up with some practical advice, "Biya also swore to you, in the Red Plains, remember?
In Qarth, he can't harm you directly, so he used a little trick-hiring regrets.
But when you leave here, he and the group of wizards can use the power of magic and curses to attack you openly. "
"I see." Dany suddenly realized.
Zha Luo looked around and lowered his voice and said: "After knowing that you were going to return to Pentos by sea, the wizard had already prepared a speedboat, and the destination was Pentos in the western continent.
You have also seen the methods of the Night Walker. The wizard's power is recovering rapidly. You must be extra careful when you return to Pentos."
"Pentos is not the territory of wizards." Grolai shouted.
"Wizards only kill people in secret, not seize the city-state of Pentos. "Zha Luo smiled contemptuously.
Before stepping off the gangplank, Zha Luo gave Dany a gift, a silver necklace inlaid with magical amethyst.
The night covered the earth, and a string of muddy yellow light balls lit up on the sea in the distance. It was the lighthouse that guided the direction of the ship.
With the "clatter" sound of the tide hitting the embankment, Grolai shouted to the sailors to weigh anchor, and the first mate personally and several strong men blew the horn to pull up the sail.
The huge white sail bulged in the night wind, and the Cydurion slowly left the dock.
Dany and the centaur stood at the stern, and the brightly lit night market on the dock in front of them gradually shrank until it finally disappeared.
She only felt that the sailboat was really slow. Even if the Blood Guard had trained on the beach for a few days, they could see a dark mass around them. The sea water, still frightened in their hearts, a pair of almond eyes widened and white.
But they had strong self-esteem and were determined not to show cowardice in front of others. They tensed their bodies, with wooden faces, no movements and no expressions.
The Lys girl Doria was born on an island, and she was more comfortable on a ship than on horseback, but the centaur maids Irri and Jhiqui were different. They had not even been trained at the seaside. They grabbed the side of the ship with both hands, as if someone who fell into the sea grabbed a lifebuoy.
So Dany hurriedly asked them to go to her bedroom, but she regretted it after a while.
Following the guidance of the lighthouse, the Cedurian left the calm bay and entered the strait with rolling waves. A wave hit, and the big ship shook slightly, and then again.
"Wow--" The two centaur girls turned pale and vomited directly.
On the first night, Dany could not sleep peacefully until Grolai handed over two pieces of orange peel-flavored sugar cubes. The two girls put the sugar in their mouths and then they settled down.
"This is a secret medicine made by the pharmacist using northern hawthorn and Dorne blood orange. It contains many mysterious ingredients that I don't know. In addition to preventing seasickness, it can also treat fever and colds. It is very precious. One silver moon can only buy 20 pieces." He said with a pained heart.
It is indeed a bit expensive. One copper coin is equivalent to the purchasing power of five dollars. One silver moon can be exchanged for 800 copper coins, and one piece of candy costs 200 yuan.
"Well, take them all out. There are still many women and children under the deck. You can have someone give them one each." Dany sighed as she sat on the bed.
"This" Blackbeard hesitated, "If the sailors encounter a headache or fever, I'm afraid there won't be enough!"
"Wait until we get to other ports to buy them. There must be similar things, right? "
And we are not going to Pentos
