However, just when King's Landing was holding a tournament, on the other side of the world far away.
Daenerys' army is continuing to advance deeper into the continent of Essos, but Daenerys herself rides the white dragon Viserion and flies to Slaver's Bay as a guest.
Because she wanted to purchase some Unsullied soldiers, and tried to use diplomatic means to lobby Slaver's Bay to join the Valyrian Empire's camp and jointly expel and boycott some gods on the Essos continent.
However, in this land of the Gughis Empire, the Good Lords and Great Lords of Slaver's Bay actually feared and resisted the rise of the Valyrian Empire.
Because of the ancestors of Slaver's Bay, the Gurgith Empire was once one of the overlords of the world. However, their glorious past was shattered with the rise of the Valyrian Free Fortress.
The dragon kings rode giant dragons and experienced several wars, and finally defeated the Gujis Empire. As a result, the people on this land were never unified again and split into several large and small city-states.
Yunkai, Meereen, and Astapor are the main city-states, with Meereen being the largest city-state, Astapor second, and Yunkai being the smallest.
The belief in Slaver's Bay is based on the symbol of the Gughis Empire, the harpy, which is a legendary female monster.
She has the torso of a woman, but where her arms should be there are a pair of bat wings. She also has the legs of an eagle and the curled poisonous tail of a scorpion.
But in addition to the harpies, Slaver's Bay also hides some other beliefs, such as the pale holy boy Bakaron, and the eunuchs' exclusive deity, the Spear Lady.
Her true name is not known to outsiders, it only belongs to those whose male roots are burned to ashes on the altar. Even the Unsullied will not talk about her easily, and she has many names, including the Lady of the Spear, the War Bride and the Army Matron.
.
In addition to these local gods in Slaver's Bay, of course, they can also spread throughout the continent of Essos, from the west coast to Asshai at the end of the world, and the red god R'hllor, the head of the gods in the divine domain.
However, the local gods of Slaver's Bay, except for the Pale Saint, the Harpy and the Spear Lady, do not seem to be involved in the war between the gods of the two continents.
Daenerys rode the white dragon Viserion and arrived at Astapor first, because in addition to persuading the city-states of Slaver's Bay to resist R'hllor, she also wanted to purchase some Unsullied soldiers.
.
The distant mistress of the Western Empire suddenly arrived in Astapor, and the rulers of this city-state who claimed to be the 'good lord' hurriedly came out to greet her.
Although the Valyrian Empire is thousands of miles away from Slaver's Bay, the empire's reputation is now at its peak. Who doesn't know that the Valyrian Empire is now the overlord of the world?
And they had just easily captured Volantis, and their power was expanding crazily in the continent of Essos in an unstoppable manner.
The giant dragon suddenly flew overhead. Although there was only one woman, the benefactors of Astapor were still a little panicked, and in the end they had no choice but to come to greet her.
"His Majesty."
"Welcome to the great Astapor."
"Bricks and blood made Astapor, bricks and blood made her people."
After some discussion, a bald and benevolent man wearing a yellow robe came out.
He glanced at the huge dragon lying on the ground above his head, blocking out the sky and the sun, then stepped forward bravely, bowed down and took the little queen's outstretched hand, touched it lightly with the tip of his nose, and then spoke
road.
He was wearing a long and loose cloth called a toka robe that the rich people in the Gujis city-state wore. This is the traditional clothing of Gujis. To wear it, it must be wrapped around the hips and tied around the waist.
under the arms and around the shoulders.
"I wonder what you mean by your grand visit to Astapor?"
Astapor is a city in Slaver's Bay, located at the mouth of the Worm River. When Valyria destroyed the ancient Gith Empire, Astapor was a surviving Gith colony.
It was once conquered by the Valyrian people and built as a center for the slave trade. Now the Ghiscari language has been basically forgotten by the people here, who also speak a dialect of Valyrian.
Astapor has a special product that is world-famous, and that is the 'Unsullied'. Daenerys first came to Astapor on this trip just for the Unsullied.
However, when the benevolent person learned the purpose of the little queen's visit, he was obviously relieved.
"certainly!"
"Welcome to buy the Unsullied again, we all know they are the best warriors in the world."
Viserys once sent Illyrio, carrying a large amount of wealth collected from the wealthy merchants and governor families of Pentos, with a fleet of thousands of miles to Astapor, and took away five thousand people.
Unsullied soldiers.
These five thousand Unsullied soldiers became an important fighting force in the Targaryen family camp, directly laying the foundation for the rise of Viserys.
Even now, the Unsullied Legion is a detached and independent army in the imperial legion system. They specialize in serving as royal guards, guarding the travel and safety of palaces and royal members in various places.
The brilliant achievements of the Unsullied Legion in the Valyrian Empire also directly created a wave of powerful advertising for Astapor. Subsequently, Astapor's benevolent lords received more and more customers from all over the world.
Already.
"His Majesty."
"please!"
Then the Good Lords led Daenerys towards the city.
The most important building in this gulf city-state is the Step Pyramid. Various pyramids are scattered throughout the city, the tallest being four hundred feet tall.
The Astapor people also planted various trees, vines and flowers on the pyramid. At dusk, the good Lords would light silk lanterns shining in various colors.
Yachts cruise in the Worm River. All streets are made of red bricks, pyramids, amphitheaters dug deep into the ground with gradually descending seats, sulfurous fountains, dark wine shops and ancient walls surrounding the city.
There was fine red dust in the air, and when the breeze blew, the dust flew along the gutter.
Pride Plaza.
This is an open market where slave owners bring their customers to watch their slaves. In the center of the square is a red brick fountain with a bronze statue of the Harpy of Astapor.
"The Unsullied have been standing here for a day. They don't eat or drink, but they will never fall or resist."
"This is submission."
The benefactors accompanied the little queen Daenerys and kept introducing her.
But the Valyrian woman with her long silver-gold hair tied into braids had no fear even though she was alone in a foreign city-state.
She was wearing a gorgeous black velvet brocade robe, and her delicate face carried nobility and majesty, which made the good Lords of Astapor obey her.
"How many are there in total?"
Then Daenerys looked at the dense crowd of Unsullied soldiers in front of her, then raised her delicate chin slightly, and spoke in a calm voice.
"Eight thousand people, Your Majesty."
The bald benevolent man wearing a yellow tokar robe quickly spoke.
