Rumor has it that Daenerys will conquer all the cities around the Slaver's Bay that use slaves in large numbers, so they will want to unite with Ghis to overthrow Daenerys, the queen.
Turning back to look at the three archons who were pretending to be stupid, Daenerys sighed slightly and was about to get on the elephant cart.
However, the dwarf elephant, which had been very quiet, immediately became restless when it saw Daenerys approaching, and the three archons were so scared that they hurriedly shouted at the slave driving the elephant to steady it.
The slave didn't know why the originally quiet dwarf elephant suddenly became restless, and he pulled the reins and scolded the dwarf elephant in the local dialect.
The dwarf elephant finally calmed down a little after being whipped, but it still stepped on its thick legs a little uneasily.
The leading Archon Nesiso originally wanted to introduce Volantis' unique elephant chariots to Daenerys, but he did not expect this to happen.
I no longer have the heart to introduce it. I just hope that the restless dwarf elephant can successfully carry Queen Daenerys to her destination.
Looking at the restless dwarf elephants, Daenerys inadvertently glanced at Drogon on her shoulder, knowing that those dwarf elephants were so anxious because they were intimidated by Drogon's dragon power.
Before his transformation, Drogon did not have much impact on other animals, but since his transformation, any animal that approached him would be inexplicably frightened or become anxious.
Drogon naturally knew the reason why the dwarf elephants were restless. This was the result of his intentional restraint of the dragon's power. Otherwise, Daenerys and the others would not be able to ride the elephant cart and would have to walk.
After the dwarf elephants gradually stabilized, Nerciso dared to let Daenerys sit on the elephant cart, while Tyrion and others sat on the other elephant carts.
After Daenerys got on the elephant cart, Drogon flew off her shoulder and sat on the luxurious chair next to Daenerys.
[It should be real leather, more comfortable than a sofa!] After bouncing his butt twice, feeling the elasticity of the soft chair, drogon did not expect that the chair on the elephant cart would be so comfortable.
Daenerys was already accustomed to Drogon's alternative vocabulary. She looked at him with a smile and then turned to look at the streets on both sides.
As a port city, Volantis is much cleaner than other cities. The roads are lined with flowers, and various human statues can be seen every few blocks.
According to Nesiso, the figures in the statues are all famous people from Volantis history, archons or people who have made contributions to Volantis.
"In front of us is the longest bridge in the world, the Volantis Bridge, which spans the River Rhoyne and connects the old and new towns."
Nesiso rode his elephant cart side by side with Daenerys, introducing her to the various characteristics and customs of Volantis from time to time.
After hearing Nesiso's introduction, Drogon looked up at the wide river not far from the elephant cart. It was estimated to be two kilometers wide. It was not an easy task to build a bridge on such a river.
Out of curiosity, he flew from his seat into the air and found that it was indeed a bridge.
Although it was not as wide as the bridge in the previous life, it could barely accommodate three elephant carts traveling side by side.
The bridge looks very solid and majestic, and it must have taken a lot of effort to build it.
As soon as Nesiso finished speaking, he saw the little black dragon that was sitting next to the queen and looking around suddenly flew into the air and looked at the long bridge in the distance.
He looked at Drogon in the air in amazement, then looked at Daenerys, wondering if the queen's little black dragon had understood what he said just now?
"Drogon can understand us." Seeing Nesiso's surprised look at her, Daenerys explained.
Nesiso didn't expect that he had guessed it right. No wonder he looked at him in such a different way when he introduced Volantis to the queen just now.
The gate of the long bridge was built of black stone, and was carved with various monsters and dragons. Looking at the dragon carvings on the gate, Nesiso inadvertently glanced at Drogon again.
He couldn't understand why Drogon had four legs, which had never happened in the history of dragons in Valyria.
Although he couldn't figure it out, it didn't stop him from knowing how powerful Drogon was. He thought that perhaps only a four-legged dragon like Drogon could withstand the crossbow that was specifically designed to deal with dragons.
Since they almost attacked Slaver's Bay, they spared no effort to inquire about the situation there. They knew clearly that Drogon could not only change his size, but also withstand crossbows. This was why they did not hesitate to send two ships full of gifts.
Walking onto the long bridge, Nesiso continued to introduce: "The long bridge took forty years and cost one million gold coins to build. It was only after it was built that the new city became prosperous as it is today."
Drogon was surprised to hear that it took forty years to build a bridge. He was afraid that the people who were in charge of the construction might not live to see the day when the bridge was completed.
Not long after stepping onto the bridge, Daenerys was attracted by the huge black wall standing on the other side of the bridge. The black wall was more than 50 meters high, and it gave people a sense of quiet oppression from a distance.
Drogon fell back on Daenerys' shoulder, but he was not so shocked by the Black Wall. After seeing the two-hundred-meter-high Wall, the Black Wall could no longer shock him.
"The Black Wall was built during the Valyrian era. Those who live within the wall are of ancient Valyrian blood. Ordinary freemen and foreigners are not allowed to enter the Black Wall without an invitation from those within the wall."
Seeing that Daenerys' eyes were attracted by the black wall, Nesiso took the opportunity to introduce it.
After listening to what Nesiso said, Daenerys looked at him with a smile and knew what he wanted to express.
The Volantenes consider themselves the heirs of Valyria and even want to unify the nine free trade cities.
But in front of Daenerys, a Targaryen of true dragon blood, she naturally dared not claim to be orthodox. Nesiso said this only to get closer to Daenerys, the Queen.
Seeing that Daenerys had no intention of blaming him, Nesiso continued to introduce the Black Wall.
After more than 20 minutes, we entered the black wall. The buildings and streets inside were very different from those outside the wall. It was obvious that a lot of money and manpower had been spent.
It gives people the feeling that the area inside the wall is a rich area, and the area outside the wall is a slum.
Not long after walking, everyone was attracted by a huge building on the left side of the road.
The entire building is not made up of one or several colors, but dozens of colors. It looks a bit fancy, yet solemn.
All kinds of towers, halls, and spires in the building are perfectly connected together, appearing to be a natural sight.
"This is the temple of R'hllor, the Lord of Light!" Nesiso introduced in real time.
Drogon was surprised to hear that such a large building was the temple of the Lord of Light.
This temple is two or three times larger than the Great Sept of Baelor that Drogon saw in King's Landing.
Drogon had not expected that the Lord of Light, who had very few believers in Westeros, would have such a magnificent temple in Volantis, one of the nine free trade cities.
The red woman followed Stannis alone.
Thoros, the red-robed monk who assisted Earl Beric, the leader of the Brotherhood Without Banners and a suicidal expert who was resurrected seven times, also followed Beric alone and was also a priest of the Lord of Light.
Drogon originally thought that although Lord of Light R'hllor was powerful, he did not have many followers or influence.
But I didn't expect his influence to extend beyond Westeros. I wonder if he has such a great influence in other free trade cities.
As he approached the temple, Drogon felt a different aura, a aura he had felt in the ruins of Valyria before, and now he knew it came from R'hllor, the Lord of Light.
Leading Daenerys to a luxurious hotel in the center of the old city, Nesiso stopped the elephant carriage and personally arranged rooms for everyone so that they could have a good rest.
