Chapter 380: The Beginning of Meereen (3)

"What do you mean?" Daenerys had already moved from her initial bad impression of the wizard, and she and her men were right, she and her men were not capable of sustaining the city.

Meereen itself is an economically deformed city, and the good lord sends slave catchers and horse teams to capture slaves and bring them back, and a large number of transactions are carried out in Slave Bay, which is Meereen's economy.

The good lord's commodities are slaves, they have no cost at all, they rely on the resources obtained by plunder, once the good lord's force declines, then they will face a situation where there are no goods, and the economy will come to a standstill, for example, now.

Essos is a continent where slaves are made, but not all city-states are built by slave trade, and several trading city-states such as Braavos in the northwest rely on the exchange of resources from the two continents for trade circulation, and have begun to take shape.

But in the cities southeast of Essos, slavery is still the main source of gold, and in the eyes of the cruel and greedy good masters, anyone can be caught as a slave, which has nothing to do with the heart, but only the inheritance of the system for many years.

Daenerys controls the waters of Meereen and Slave Bay, but that doesn't mean that the slave trade is gone, Meereen is just a relatively large city-state, if she doesn't do it, someone else will naturally do it.

Meereen's economy is very bad, even the people who maintain the slave trade are in the hands of the major good lord families, so Daenerys currently does not have the support of the good lord, and even small matters such as entering the port to collect taxes need to be taken care of by her personally.

Daenerys needs to take full control of Meereen, not only because she is benevolent and wants to abolish slavery, but more importantly, because she needs to recuperate, and she needs gold.

It costs gold to expand armies, large amounts of food, mercenaries to be paid, and ships to Westeros.

Westeros and the Iron Throne of Westeros is something Daenerys has never given up.

"In the far north of Westeros, outside the northern borders, there is a group of creatures called Strangers, also known as White Ghosts." This was the thing the people of the North feared the most, but judging by Daenerys' face, it was clear that she hadn't heard of it, "You can ask Barristan, he probably knows." ”

Noticing the Queen's gaze, Barristan nodded slightly, agreeing with Yi Huan's statement, as the King's Landing's Kingsguard, Barristan is a native of Westeros, and is naturally no stranger to the legend of the White Ghost, after all, the world of A Song of Ice and Fire is very small and simple.

After being confirmed, Daenerys turned her gaze back to Yi Huan's body, with a smile on her face, to see what the other party could say.

"There have been several large-scale invasions of the white ghosts, but many years have passed since the last time, and they have even become legends, but no one can deny the existence of the white ghosts, and their terribleness, the Great Wall is the best proof of this." Yi Huan stopped halfway up the stone platform, a safe distance not far from Daenerys.

A black mist diffused from Yi Huan's hands, a shadow of Neverland, making a harmless gesture to a few people who were alerted again, and a virtual screen was projected from it.

"The strength of the white ghosts is very strong, they are almost immortal, they are equivalent to having natural armor, and their huge size and huge strength allow them to easily fight against several knights, which is a very powerful intelligent creature."

The light curtain first evolved into a giant virtual sand table, which evolved the entire terrain of Westeros, the detection of dragons and crows was not wasted, and the Eye of Oz system could make good use of all resources.

Then, a huge three-dimensional image of a white ghost appeared above the sand table, and the realistic Cheng dù even made Barristan, the old knight who had been frowning since the appearance of the sand table, subconsciously pull out his weapon.

Daenerys was also taken aback, but she was no longer the ignorant little girl she had been, she stood up and took two steps forward so that she could better see the screen on the steps.

Dario and Grey Bug followed closely behind, standing by Daenerys' side so that they could better protect their queen.

Barristan and Grey Bug jumped right in front of Yi Huan's eyes, but he ignored them, the most powerful of the three, Dario, was not yet at the block level, far worse than a werewolf or something.

With a smile and calmness, Yi Huan continued, "There are many white ghosts, and they can also manipulate dead corpses to fight for them, but fortunately, the strength of these corpses is far less than that of white ghosts themselves. ”

The image projected by the Eye of Oz kept changing with Yi Huan's words, giving various easy-to-understand numbers, "But even so, the armies of Westeros are no match for them, let alone unarmed civilian farmers." ”

"I once calculated that whether it is the heavy armored knights in the north, or the iron people in golden robes, etc., or even the light armored cavalry of Dorne, they are not the opponents of the white ghosts, and there is only one way to die if they are confronted head-on."

"Then why don't they rule Westeros, but the usurpers do." Daenerys, who had been listening to her, questioned that this was a good trend, which meant that she had begun to identify with Yi Huan.

"Because of the winter." Yi Huan replied.

"In the southern part of Westeros, where the warm and humid climate is a frequent visitor, the white ghosts are far less powerful in warm places than in cold places, so theoretically they don't like to leave the northern realm."

"But now it's different, for an unknown reason, winter is coming, and this time it's going to be colder, longer, and more terrible than ever, enough to turn the whole world into the North."

"At that time, warmth will no longer be a problem for the white ghost, because there will be no more zài in summer, and the whole world will become the territory of the white ghost, and under the cover of winter, everything will die, and there will be no life."

As Yi Huan's words fell, the huge sand table had turned white, evolving into the scene after the destruction of miè, the snow covered the entire continent, and there was no green to be found in the whole land, only the ruined city-state and the collapsed city walls, as well as dead trees and wreckage everywhere,

"It will take about fifteen years from the end of summer to the White Imps taking Westeros, but this may be just the beginning for winter." At the end, Yi Huan thought about it and added again unhurriedly. R1152
