Chapter 380: The Beginning of Meereen (3)
"What does it mean?" Daenerys' eyes were flowing, and she had already walked out of her initial bad impression of the witch. Yi Xiao was right. She and her men did not have the ability to maintain the city.
Meerelene itself is a city with an economic deformity. The good Lord sent slave ships and horse teams to capture slaves and brought back them, and carried out large-scale transactions in the Slave Bay. This is Meerelene's economy.
The good Lord’s goods are slaves. They have no cost at all. They rely on the resources they obtain by plunder. Once the good Lord’s force decreases, they will face a situation where there is no goods and their economy will stagnate, for example, now.
Ursus is a continent where slavery is made of wind, but not all city-states are built on slave trade. Several trading city-states such as Bravos in the northwest rely on exchanging resources from the two continents for trade circulation, and have already begun to take shape.
But in the cities southeast of Esos, slavery is still the main source of its gold coins. In the eyes of those cruel and greedy good masters, anyone can be arrested as a slave. This has nothing to do with the mind and nature, but only years of institutional inheritance.
Daenerys controls the waters of Meerelene and Slave Bay, but it does not mean that the slave transactions have disappeared. Meerelene is just a relatively huge city-state. If she doesn't do it, there will naturally be others to do it.
Meereen's economy is very bad. Even the people who maintain slave trade are in the hands of major good masters' families, so Daenerys currently does not have the support of good masters, and even small matters such as tax collection in Hong Kong need her to personally inquire about it.
Daenerys needs to take Meerelene completely in her hands, not only because she is kind by nature and wants to abolish slavery, but more importantly, she needs rest and gold coins.
The expansion of the army requires gold coins, a large amount of food requires gold coins, and the reward of mercenaries requires gold coins, and building ships to Westeros requires a large amount of gold coins.
Westeros and Westeros’ Iron Throne are things that Daenerys has never given up.
"In the far north of Westeros, outside the northern border, there is a group of creatures called White Ghosts, also called White Ghosts." This is what people in the northern border fear the most, but looking at Daenerys's face, it is obvious that she has never heard of it. "You can ask Balistan, he may know."
Noting the queen's sight, Balistan nodded slightly and agreed to Yi Xiao's words. As the king's Royal Guard, Balistan is a native of Westeros and is naturally familiar with the legend of the White Ghost. After all, the world of Song of Ice and Fire is very small and simple.
After confirmation, Daenerys turned her gaze back to Yi Xiao, and Jiaomei had a smile on her face, and she saw what tricks the other party could say.
"The White Ghost has had several large-scale invasions, but it has been many years since the last time and has even become a legend. But no one can deny the existence of the White Ghost and their terribleness. The Great Wall is the best proof." Yi Xiao stopped on the half of the stone platform, a safe distance from Daenerys was not far away or close.
Black mist spread out from Yi Xiao's hands, which was the shadow of Dream Island. It made a harmless gesture to the few people who were alert again, and a virtual screen projected out of it.
"The white ghost is very strong, almost immortal, they are equivalent to having natural armor, huge figure and huge power that allows them to easily fight against several knights. This is a very powerful intelligent creature."
The light curtain first evolved into a huge virtual sand table, which evolved the entire Westeros terrain. The detection of dragons and crows was not wasted, and the Oz Eye system can use all resources well.
Then, a huge three-dimensional three-dimensional image of the white ghost appeared above the sand table, and the realistic level even made Balistan, the old knight who had been frowning since the sand table appeared, subconsciously pulled out his weapon.
Daenerys was also shocked, but she was no longer the ignorant little girl back then. She stood up and took two steps forward so that she could better see the screen on the steps.
Dario and Grey Bug also followed closely behind, standing next to Daenerys so that they could better protect their queen.
The panels of people like Balistan and Grey Bug jumped in front of Yi Xiao's eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it. Dario, the most powerful of the three, was not yet at the block level, and was far inferior to supernatural creatures such as werewolf.
With calmness in his smile, Yi Xiao continued, "There are many white ghosts, and they can also manipulate dead corpses to fight for them. Fortunately, the power of these corpses is far less than that of the white ghost itself."
The images projected by Oz's Eye have been changing with Yi Xiao's words, giving various easy-to-understand data, "But even so, Westeros' army is not their opponent, let alone the unarmed civilian farmers."
"I have calculated that no matter the heavy armored knights in the north, the iron man's golden robe, etc., or even the light armored cavalry of Dorn, they are not opponents of the White Ghost. There is only one way to die against them head-on."
"Then why did they not rule Westeros, but the usurpers were dominating." Daenerys, who had been listening next to him, asked a question. This was a good trend, which meant that she had begun to identify with Yi Xiao.
"Because of winter." Yi Xiao replied.
"In the southern part of Westeros, the warm and humid climate is a frequent visitor there, and the white ghosts are far less powerful in warm places than in cold places because of some characteristics, so in theory, they don't like to leave the North."
"But now it's different. For an unknown reason, winter is coming, and this time the cold winter will be colder, longer, and more terrifying than before, enough to turn the whole world into a northern border."
"At that time, warmth will no longer be a problem for the white ghost, because summer will no longer exist, and the whole world will become the territory of the white ghost. Under the cover of winter, all things will die and no grass will live."
As Yi Xiao finished speaking, the huge sand tray had turned into a white area, and evolved into a scene after destruction. The sky full of snow buried the entire continent, and there was no green on the entire land. There was only the destroyed city-state and the collapsed city walls, as well as the dead trees and the wreckage everywhere.
"It will take about fifteen years from the end of summer to the White Ghost occupying Westeros, but this may be just the beginning of winter." At the end, Yi Xiao thought about it and added a sentence slowly again.r1152
