Chapter 15
As the sky darkened, Dany said to Aggo "The person who detained Odo, give the sheep slave some food and let them go on their own."
Aggo glanced warily at the sheep who shrank aside. The slave said: "Khaleesi, the sheep people hate us, now they know our position, they may bring a large army of sheep people to encircle and suppress us.
The sheep people are cowardly but not stupid. I will give up this extremely rare opportunity."
This Aggo is young, but his mind is unexpectedly meticulous, Dany glanced at him in surprise, and explained: "Walking at night, how far can they go? Getting back to the banks of the Lhazar River tomorrow afternoon would be fast, but we'll be leaving tomorrow morning."
"It's better to just kill them." Aggo grumbled and left.
As the blood setting sun sank into the horizon, the sheepmen were surprised to be notified of their free departure.
But the cremation did not begin immediately.
A group of Dothraki stares with round almond-shaped eyes, looking for good omens in the night sky.
Whenever a generation of Horselord dies, his mount is also killed and buried with him.
It means that he will ride a horse and gallop into the kingdom of night.
While their bodies are cremated under the sky, Khal will ride out on a flaming horse, and become the stars of the sky.
The more the corpse burns, the more his constellation in the dark glows.
So, before starting the fire, they must find the constellation that represents their own Khal – it can't be a daily visible star, it must be an abnormal celestial body that just appeared today, because Khal was buried today.
This is a bit of a hassle, how can the different celestial body be found so easily?
The Dothraki sat on the ground, looking and looking in the sky, and Dany felt embarrassed.
If she has lived in this world for more than ten years, she can just find a less conspicuous star to fool them.
But it has not been long after she has came here, and her predecessor didn't understand astrology – at least it's better to not try and fool the nomads who look up at the stars every day, um, she can't fool Dothraki.
"Does every Khal find his star?" she asked an elderly Dothraki.
"Of course, the great Drogo is the Twelfth Khal I've served. I have seen with my own eyes that the previous eleven Khals rode fiery horses and turned into shining stars, among them Khal's father. "The old person saw Khaleesi talking to himself in person, so excited that his dark old face flushed like a drunk.
How old are you? Twelve?
Dany complained in her heart, but also secretly sighed that many heroes on Grass Sea entered Kingdom of Night, and they also fell like meteors.
"How long does it usually take to wait?" she asked again.
"Khaleesi, it's still early, at least until the second half of the night," the old man laughed, his lips cracked like dried orange peel, revealing a broken rotten tooth, and the ugly old face actually revealed a kind of friendly smile, "One time we just found the stars to light the firewood, and the Sun came out after waiting all night!"
Dany understands that this is an endurance competition.
When everyone is tired, hungry and dizzy, the vision is blurred, and the spirit is also in a trance, even if you see the moon, it may be regarded as an alien star of Khal.
"Found it, there!" came an excited voice, it was Rakharo.
Dany looked in the direction he pointed, and in the low eastern sky, she found a comet of red, red of blood, red of fire, like a dragon breathing flames.
This is definitely weird, and I couldn't ask for a stronger omen.
"hehe, Twelfth." old man laughed.
"Splash oil." Dany ordered loudly.
Cans of sesame oil, castor oil, and rapeseed oil were drenched on Drogo's body, and Haggo, Qotho, and others were also splashed, and the oil soaked the silk quilts, branches, and bales of hay, seeping into the firewood below. There is a sweet fragrance in the air.
"Tie Maegi up and throw it into the fire," Dany said again.
Mirri Maz Duur had been hiding in the crowd before, silently watching the pyre build, originally thought it ended when the baby boy's head was brought back by Jhaqo.
Although it's a bit regrettable that she can't take revenge herself, she is basically satisfied when she sees that young head.
How can I never think of it, the silver-haired woman suddenly ordered a fire sacrifice to herself.
"No, no, no, Silver Lady, Khaleesi, please listen to me…" Maegi dodged Aggo who captured her, struggling frantically yelled: "I saved Lady Lilith, you said to reward me! I also sang Song of Childbirth for you, and helped you give birth to a healthy son! You can't do this to me! It's not reasonable! It's crazy…swoosh wu…"
Where is Maegi's opponent, Aggo can't move even a little bit after a few words.
"Bring my dragon egg, too," Dany instructed the maids, something in the words prompting them to run away.
Jorah pale face, stepped forward and grabbed her arm, "Her Highness the Princess, Drogo doesn't need dragon eggs in Night Land, it's better to get Asshai and sell them, just sell one , we are enough to buy a great ship and return to Free Cities. And the wealth in exchange for selling three will be enough for you to enjoy for a lifetime."
"Am I short of money?" Dany ok said with a smile.
Jorah couldn't laugh, he choked, grabbed her hand harder, and seemed to want to snatch the princess of oneself back from Death God, "Princess, I know, Prince Rhaego's Death is a big blow to you.
Even if you try not to show any sadness in front of outsiders, I know that your heart is about to be drowned by tears, and the heavy suffering is about to crush your spine. But you still have…"
He blushed and was about to say out loud the love words that surpassed the righteousness of monarchs and ministers, next moment, he was shocked to see one after another staring round almonds around him. Shaped eyes, he said dejectedly: "But you are only 14 years old, there are countless years in the future, and there can be countless Sons and Daughters."
"Relax, Ser, don't forget I have dragon blood within my veins." Dany pulled back her tightly clenched arm in embarrassment, and whispered in a pointed voice, "Last time, I thought Viserys, like me, would never die of molten gold. It turns out...he's not a Dragon!"
Jorah let go of Dany blankly, guessing what she meant, while watching the three dragon eggs handed over by the maid in her arms, in Aggo With the help of Rakharo, climb up Drogo's pyre step by step.
Dany waved the Dothraki Warrior to leave, she put the white dragon egg on Drogo's chest, fixed the dragon egg with her two hands, she oneself hugged the black dragon egg and lay beside Drogo, the green dragon egg The egg is placed between the two.
"So you're crazy." Maegi, who was trapped beside her, saw Dany finish all the movements, strangely said with a smile: "The endless pain has driven you crazy, hahaha, so it is.
You should have accepted my advice before, exchange life for life, exchange death for death, if Blood Sorcery revives that butcher, you can at least save the life of your husband, hahaha, regret it now, hahaha…"
"I'll kill you first." Qotho on the side was furious, turning over and preparing to kill the laughing sheepman piestess.
"Stop, I want her to be burned alive," Dany stopped Qotho.
The unruly Bloodrider was unusually obedient this time. Not only did he not insult Dany, but he looked towards her with a respect he had never had before, and seemed to be moved by her 'great' act of being buried. ?
Or, thinking they were going back to Night Land together, his Khal would still choose her as Khaleesi?
Dany turned to Maegi and said, "You forgot? In your temple, when Khal was first treated for his wounds, Cohollo once said that if Khal dies, you will die.
I'm fulfilling the promise of the day. Whether or not Khal's death has anything to do with you, he's dead, and you're going to die."
"Hahaha, that's right, Khal is dead. Maegi who helped him must die." Haggo laughed heartily on the other side, cut his throat with a knife, and finally mumbled: "I… we… should all go down… to accompany Ka. …"
"Chee–" Qotho's side immediately followed the whistling sound of blood arrow shooting from his throat.
"They're all gone," Dany said in a complex tone, looking at the red Comet at the end of the sky.
Drogo fell off his horse. When the time came, I decided for you today's ending.
Don't deny that you killed him and wanted to sacrifice his son to the devil… What's more cruel is, You did it all through the hands of a wife and a mother."
"Hehe, you are smarter than I thought." Priestess can't deny it now, she is proud and said with a smile: "But your son is still dead, that's enough, I've completed my revenge."
"Yes, you want revenge, that's right," Dany agreed with her. The Priestess has reason to kill all the villains who violated her homeland, "But how do you repay my kindness for saving you?"
"Goodness?" Dany's words seemed to ignite her long-standing anger, as a Lhazar priestess Taking a sip, she questioned like a bomb: "I was dragged out of the temple of the god I worshipped by Dothraki, and a group of men were waiting to violate me.
That is not a normal union of men and women, from From the back, it's like a male dog mating with a female dog. That's not a normal male and female combination.
When you rode past, a fourth man was inside me…how do you saved me?
Seeing the burning of the temple of my God, where I have healed countless devotees – then I was a pure physician, a pious priestess, not some Maegi or Bloodmage.
My home was burnt down by Dothraki, and in the streets piles of heads can be seen everywhere. Among the piles of heads, there are bakers who make bread for me. Some suffer from dead eye fever. a little boy…
I can still hear the horse-riding Warrior swinging his whip and urging the children to leave, and they cry loudly. Tell me, what did you save?"
Dany was silent for a moment, then replied, "I did everything I could, Eroeh and those women…I saved your life."
Khaleesi is not Khal, even Khal can't change the Dothraki tradition of "it is known", the original Daenerys can absolutely say to anyone: I have a clear conscience.
"My life?" Mirri smiled grimly: "Look at you, what's the point of life when all the good things that one had are gone?"
Well, everyone seems to think that Dany is dying of grief, and her expressionless face is just hopeless and numb, as if life has no meaning.
"It's pointless what did you beg me for?" Dany taunted.
"You will never hear my wailing," Mirri replied.
