I Became the Mother of Dragons

Chapter 165



      Time flies, and two months have passed since the end of the war.

Under the golden sunset, a dark red wave appeared on the roiling and windy sea as a galley with 'Seahorse' painted on its side swayed and sailed to the city to the west, Yunkai!

The old poet Denzo stood on the bow, his half-length grey hair fluttering in the salty and wet sea breeze, looking at the Dragons hovering over the pyramid in the distance, he was full of emotion: "I'm back again."

"Woo–!" A low horn sound came from behind suddenly, and the sailors on the mast lookout immediately shouted down: "It's 'Prince Viserys', the Dragon Queen's fleet has returned to port!"

Denzo turned around and saw a red-hulled longship leading their way, moving almost twice as fast as the 'Seahorse'.

The wide great ship sails, extending seven or eight meters beyond the hull, are printed with a distinctive roaring Dragon pattern.

There are nine long and narrow long boats behind the red-hulled boat. The sails have Black Dragon patterns on a white background. They are like blades pushing through the ocean's waters, giving people a sharp, fast, and aggressive feeling.

"crash-bang….." Soon, the red-hulled boat at the forefront cut through the waves, like a fish jumping out of the sea, lightly and swiftly crossing by the 'Seahorse's' side.

"Prince Viserys." Denzo read the Valyrian in black paint on the hull.

"Ai, even the navy has become what it is now, can she truly change the world?" the old poet murmured in a low voice.

Captain Seahorse is over forty years old and has a red bushy beard. He seemed to hear the whispers from the old man. He stepped forward and stood side by side with the old sellsword. A full 200 sea ships were captured in Meereen.

Sea ships were not longships and could not be used as warships, but there were sailors and slave boatmen on sea ships.

"You haven't seen them before. At that time, the slaves on the pier saw Queen Daenerys riding a Dragon overhead, and almost everyone stretched out their hands, shouting 'Mhysa, Mhysa'.

The Dragon Queen will now never lack Ships, and experienced sailors and Meereen's huge shipyard is now at her disposal.

By winning Meereen, the last shortcoming of the Navy has been filled. In another three to five years, it is estimated that the Summer Sea will fall under the Dragon's sharp claws."

"I'm afraid the Allies won't give her three to five years." Denzo intoned bleakley.

"Hah! I hope the Allies can last for another three to five years." Captain Redbeard shook his head disapprovingly, and said meaningfully: "What I have experienced in the past few months is all to explain one thing, With Dragons, you can master the world, without Dragons? Kneel at Queen Daenerys' feet and swear your fealty to her."

"Oh, why do you say that? Edward, you haven't seen it.' White Poplar Slopes 'Battle?" Denzo wondered.

While the Dragon Queen has won countless battles over the past two months, only the White Poplar Slope was won entirely by Dragons.

Other times it's more about her superior ingenuity, and her Dragons play a rather minor role, but it's not as shocking as the White Poplar Slope battle.

"I've been shipping in Slaver's Bay for the past two months, and I, the 'Seahorse's' Capitan have helped the Dragon Queen transport millions of Gold Honors from Meereen to Astapor.

After winning in Slaver's Bay, The Dragon Queen has become the richest in the world, and some people speculate that she has at least 100 million Gold Honor." Edward the red-bearded said enviously.

"One hundred million....?" Denzo was shocked, and then asked in confusion: "What....does this have to do with the Dragons?"

"How many people did the Dragon Queen send to transfer all that wealth? Ten ships, to transfer Meereen's wealth to Astapor. Imagine the battle it would have wrought.

Could the Allied fleet react?

Not long after, the two sides would have had a fierce battle at sea, about seventy Allied warships against the Queen's five fleets. 14:1, under normal circumstances the Dragon Queen would be defeated, but the Dragon Queen rode a Dragon to 'Prince Viserys'.

For Seventy ships throwing incendiary bombs is not as efficient as the three Dragons throwing incendiary bottles.

Oh, you can't think of it, the three Dragons get the incendiary bottles from the ocean ship, and the Unsullied are responsible for loading the ammunition for the Dragon, and the number is too fast."

Denzo suddenly said, "Aren't all the dozens of ships of the Dragon Queen loaded with treasure?"

"Hehehe, do you think the Queen is stupid? The fake news she deliberately released, the treasure was fake. Yes, the Unsullied on the ship were real, even us Captains were deceived." Capitan Edward oddly said with a smile.

"Isn't it a big loss for the Allies? I don't think there are any Allied warships in Slaver's Bay anymore," Denzo said.

"The two sides fought from morning to evening. Three of the Dragon Queen's five ships sank, and the other side lost twenty-nine.

But there were still twenty-two, however, the sails of the ships were burned, and the Dragon Queen captured them lying on the sea surface. The number of sailors who fell into the water and were captured was around 3,000.

After the war, Slaver's Bay was peaceful, and no one since has touched The Dragon's hoard."

In the end, Captain Redbeard concluded with a complex expression: "That's why I say that the Dragon Queen with Dragons is unstoppable."

"Maybe." Denzo looked at the shore that was getting closer and couldn't help thinking of the old witch who left Yunkai with him that day.

The Tattered Prince went to New Ghis with Grazdan, and Denzo went to New Ghis naturally to find him. The Maegi went to Qarth to sell a house and then back home to the Far East.

The two had different goals and should have broken up at New Ghis, but the New Ghis people didn't let the Maegi leave, because they also heard that the Maegi actually hatched a Dragon!

This news is fantastical, and the meaning it represents is extraordinary.

Perhaps, it won't be long before New Ghis and Qarth have Dragons too?

Well, it isn't known which Royal lineage of the two cities died first…

With a sigh, the old poet went back to the cabin, carrying a half-person tall suitcase ready to leave the deck.

To Yunkai.

"Capitan Edward, I'll go first."

"Wait a minute, I'm coming with you!" Edward Redbeard yelled.

"I want to see the Dragon Queen redeem the more than 100 captured, what are you doing?" Denzo stopped, turned his head, and asked in confusion.

"The Queen posted signs in town asking for seeds and young plants of exotic flowers and rare herbs, I got some from New Ghis, I hope…" Redbeard winked at Denzo and rubbed his eyes. He started and said, "I'll follow you and maybe meet the Queen in person!"

"I don't have that ability." Denzo smiled wryly.

"It depends on luck, it's not a waste anyways," Redbeard yelled to the first mate a few words and then pulled Denzo to the pier.

The wharf was still scorched when he left last time. At this time, the stone embankment where the ships docked was still scorched black, but there was a row of brand-new brick and tile houses on the open space along the coast, with restaurants and stalls, clothing stores, and warehouses…

"No prostitutes?" It took Denzo a while to realize that Yunkai, known as the capital of bed slaves, had no brotherel in the dock area.

"No, The Dragon Queen allowed those girls in training to regain their freedom. According to the "legal code" she formulated, in the article "Marriage Law", women peasants over the age of 18 must marry, If one can't find her husband's family, the civil judge will help arrange a partner."

"Those prostitutes are all married?" Denzo said in surprise.

"It's not that simple." Redbeard shook his head and said with a complicated expression: "Unless she finds a partner if a civil officer is required to intervene, before helping the woman arrange a partner, they will be arranged to participate in the 'Good Wife and Good Mother's exam'."

"What?" Denzo's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Ai, if you want to get married after the age of 18, you must pass the test of a good wife and good mother."

Do you still have to pass the test if you want to marry?

Denzo has lived fifty-sixty years and has never heard anything so bizarre.

"....What does it test?"

"If you can bake bread; pickle sausages, or smoke bacon; and recite the Discussion of Vegetables and Roots Volume 1. The above three are basic, not passing means you can't get married.

apart from this, there are also bonus points for knitting, farming, grazing, and painting. Civil officials will give rewards based on the score and help arrange better husbands." said Redbeard.

"This…" Denzo was stunned, muttered: "Why is this?"

"Ai, isn't that obvious? Wouldn't the whole family starve to death if you didn't know how to cook? If you don't know how to marinate bacon, your family kills cattle, sheep, pigs, and other animals, and you can't eat them all in one meal, Won't the rest rot?" Redbeard asked back.

"The Dragon Queen said this?"

"Well, she explained that to everyone. You have to understand that Yunkai prostitutes may be proficient in the more difficult Way of the Seven Sighs, But they can't live off of that now. The Dragon Queen wanted to find wives for her soldiers, not noble Ladies."

"It...makes sense." Denzo said with emotion: "The Dragon Queen is truly thoughtful, not kind."

Redbeard seemed to have been praised, and proudly nodded, saying: "Of course, in order to encourage those women to make progress, the reward given by the Dragon Queen is very high.

In addition to Gold Honor, jewelry, gorgeous clothes, Yi Ti silk, and other material rewards, there are also titles such as 'Young Lady', 'Lady', and 'Mistress'."

Denzo was stunned, "A title specially prepared for women?"

Well, obviously, Dany borrowed some systems from the ancient dynasties, but not the same as the ancient dynasties, women because of men (sons, Husband) and high status, the women of Slaver's Bay only need to rely on their ability to achieve respectable status.

But it is not as complicated as the ancient "second-grade Lady, third-grade Shuren, fourth-grade Gongren, fifth-grade pleasant, sixth-grade Anren, seventh-grade Ruren", only "Young Lady, Lady, and Mistress".

"How do I get a title?" Denzo asked again.

Redbeard thought for a while and said: "It is determined by the score of the 'good wife' assessment and future performance. For example, if a woman is particularly good at handicrafts, then she can become a 'Young lady' '.

If you can make inventions that are beneficial to the people, you can become a 'Lady', 'Mistresses', are similar to Ser's.

For example, a month before, a female textile worker in Meereen donated a loom to the Queen because it was twice as efficient as a normal loom, the Dragon Queen directly named the female worker a 'Mistress', and rewarded her with 100,000 Gold Honor."

"One hundred thousand Gold Honor?" Denzo was stunned, she had more money than a sellsword.

"Ai, that's why the Dragon Queen has a lot of hubbub around her! She said that after the promotion of the loom, the benefits to all commoners were far more than 100,000 Gold Honor, and she equates it to buying all that women's weaving at one time with the patent rights of the machine.

Well, 'patent rights' is also the first thing the Dragon Queen said.

She also said that when the time is right, she will add patents to the "legal code" to encourage people to work hard for a better world." Edward's eyes were filled with reverence that could not be concealed.

"For a better world…" Denzo seemed insane.

"Although my slave boatman were also liberated by the Queen, I have to say that I prefer Queen Dany to the slave masters," Edward said in a complicated tone.

"Wow…" Denzo came back to his senses and asked, "What is that "Discussion of Vegetables and Roots"?"

"It is said that "Discussion of Vegetables and Roots" is divided into high, middle, and low volume 1. Volume 1 is prepared for ordinary families, that is, wash your hands before eating, take a bath at least once every seven days, how to make toothbrushes and toothpaste, soap for bathing and shampooing, identifying common symptoms of illness and how to deal with it… Hey, it's too much, almost everything is covered."

"I know of a toothbrush, but what is toothpaste?" Denzo asked with a question mark on his forehead.

"A mix of herbs for cleaning teeth are made into a paste."

"It seems that it is very difficult to be a qualified wife, even harder than learning the Way of the Seven Sighs!" Denzo exclaimed.

"If a woman can find her husband's family before the age of 18, without the help of a civil judge to find her Husband, there is no need to take the test. The Dragon Queen said that the man is responsible for his choices."
