#293 - Chapter 27: Meereen
The sun was shining brightly, a gentle breeze was blowing, and the vast, boundless wilderness was lush and green, as if covered with a verdant carpet. The most striking feature was the endless expanse of alfalfa, dotted with numerous small purple flowers, like twinkling stars scattered across the landscape. Suddenly, a gust of wind howled past, accompanied by a powerful pressure that sent countless petals swirling into the sky. Then, a terrified scream echoed, "Holy shit~ Ah!" reverberating through the empty wilderness for a long time!
It turned out that the incredibly massive Leviathan was soaring into the sky on rapidly beating wings. At this moment, Liu Yuan turned around, looked at the two people behind him who were still screaming in terror, and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, stop shouting. I was just joking with you. You asked for this, wanting to experience the thrill of a dragon dive."
Tyrion's face was as pale as paper, and he trembled as he shrieked, "I was just using a metaphor! Do you even know what a metaphor is? Who told you to take the joke seriously? I almost pissed my pants! What do you think, Podrick... Pod?" Before he could finish speaking, Podrick next to him was foaming at the mouth and had fainted.
Liu Yuan laughed and said, "How is it? Do you still miss Casterly Rock? I told you a long time ago that the outside world is much more exciting than your little place, but you always cower in that corner, never experiencing true freedom!"
Tyrion wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and replied with emotion, "You're right, this feeling is amazing. To hell with King's Landing and Casterly Rock! When I heard you say you were taking me to Slaver's Bay, I thought we'd have to take a ship. I didn't expect you to have a dragon. When did you get it?"
Liu Yuan pondered for a moment and replied, "It's been quite a few years, I don't remember exactly when. I only remember that during the tourney at Harrenhal, I accidentally found this dragon egg in the God's Eye. It wasn't until the second year after we met, when I traveled north of the Wall, that this dragon egg successfully hatched into a dragon. If we were to sail to Meereen, it would probably take more than ten days, but with Leviathan's help, we can reach our destination in less than two days."
Tyrion looked down at the beautiful scenery below with anticipation, seeing a wide, shimmering river, like a silver ribbon, flowing endlessly from the distant horizon. He asked curiously, "Where are we?"
Liu Yuan said, "We just passed the Golden Fields. Below is the Rhoyne, the homeland of the Rhoynar, and the mother river of Western Essos. Look at the green pool on the left, that's the famous Dagger Lake. Further ahead is the Forest of Qohor, and beyond that is the Dothraki Sea. We need to follow that for half a day, then fly south to reach our destination, Meereen."
Tyrion listened with fascination, exclaiming, "The outside world is amazing!"
Liu Yuan smiled and controlled Leviathan to descend slightly, allowing Tyrion to see more clearly.
They flew over the Forest of Qohor, seeing dense forests and running wild animals. Then, they arrived at the Dothraki Sea, a vast grassland stretching before them, dotted with countless nomadic tribes.
Tyrion pointed into the distance and asked, "Are those the Dothraki?"
Liu Yuan nodded: "You can say so! They are the losers and escapees from the struggles between the Khalasars, so they can only live on the edge of the Dothraki Sea. These people live a relatively stable life and are constantly providing fresh blood for the Dothraki Sea."
As Leviathan moved forward, a vast and desolate mountain range suddenly appeared before them, as if an invisible giant hand had forcibly separated the lush greenery of the north from the clear blue of the south. The entire mountain range was like a magnificent painting created by nature's ingenuity, breathtaking: red, gray, blue, and cyan intertwined, like freely splashed oil paints, making this mountain range even more mysterious and fantastic.
As Liu Yuan said, this was the famous Painted Mountains, which not only successfully separated the Dothraki Sea from Slaver's Bay and the Sea of Sighs, but also witnessed countless historical changes and the passage of time. The Demon Road stretched along the southern side of the Painted Mountains, while the Rhoyne and its many tributaries quietly surrounded the western side of the mountains. In the distance, the charming city of Volantis stood peacefully on the coast, exuding a unique charm. At this moment, the full view of Meereen gradually became clear - the towering city walls, the busy and bustling port, and the crowded and prosperous streets were all in sight. However, what made Tyrion's heart surge and his excitement hard to contain was the towering, magnificent Great Pyramid in the city!
"We are about to reach our destination, everyone prepare for landing!" Liu Yuan controlled Leviathan and flew towards the top of the Great Pyramid. The bronze statue of the Harpy that once stood there had been removed, and the top had been converted into a beacon tower.
Inside the Great Pyramid, in the magnificent and solemn council hall, the Dragon Queen Daenerys sat on the high throne. After more than a year in high position, she had an elegant temperament and exuded an aura of majesty and mystery.
At this moment, she was carefully listening to the requests of the people who came to see her. An old man with a beard and hair that had turned white was standing below, respectfully telling Daenerys about the things he had experienced in the past few months..........
"Your Majesty, even if you have the ability to rectify the chaotic order in the dining hall, how should people like us take care of ourselves? What is the meaning of our lives? In the past, before you came here, I was a respected teacher, and I could get sincere respect from many children; but today, I can only wander aimlessly around this city like a living corpse, no different from those vagrants! So here, I beg you to have mercy and allow me to sell myself back to my former master!"
After listening to the old man's words, Daenerys felt very surprised: "I really can't understand why you would willingly choose to return to the side of the person who once deprived you of your freedom, and continue to willingly work for him?"
