I Became the Mother of Dragons

Chapter 140



     "You're not dead?!" In the dark and decadent stone chamber, the Faceless Men couldn't believe it.

A young woman in her early twenties, bald and with a purple left eye, her left eye was swollen, and there was tattered eyeball dripping with black blood from the eye hole. There are blue and red scars, a few teeth are missing in her mouth, and her speech is slurry.

The Unsullied didn't abuse her, the wounds on her face were all thrown out by Dany's iron boots yesterday.

The Assassination is already yesterday, and now the time has come to the morning of the second day after the naval battle.

Dany could vaguely see that the other party's original face was very ordinary, with a rough complexion, pale with a sallow tinge, just like all the women in the street who are numb in hardships.

The facial features have a three-dimensional sense that is unique, but not distinctive.

The square popular cheek, the intact right eye is light blue, not the same as Doreah's beautiful deep blue like the sea.

"You had a stab to your heart. Even if the stab was not deep, the poison should have definitely entered the heart. The mixed concoction of Basilisk and Manticore poison was also blessed by Blood Sorcery, and the most robust Pit Fighter only needs a pierce of the skin, and die within a minute."

"How did you survive?" The female assassin stared deeply yet neutrally with one eye and carefully looked at Dany, who was wearing a purple gauze skirt.

Her temple hair is braided and tied behind, revealing a full forehead, a small face, ruddy skin, and sharp eyes, not at all like a poisoned patient.

"You don't know it?" Dany spread her right hand and handed a purple crystal necklace to the other side.

"...?" the assassin shifted.

"hmmph, it seems that the Faceless Men do not hold good intelligence reports, even basic information is not collected." Dany insulted again.

"—" The Assassin held no change, and was calm like a monk reciting "Amitabha", lowered her head, and whispered: "Valar Morghulis (Valar Morghulis)... ."

Dany's eyes flashed: it was Faceless Men, she admitted.

After a while, the female Faceless Men lifted her head again and asked slowly, "What did someone ignore?"

"Before leaving Qarth, Lord Xaro, one of The Thirteen, gave me a magic power amethyst necklace to avoid poisons. Then I pried the magic crystal from the necklace and made it into a hairpin, which I keep on top of my head.

I did get poisoned at first, so the amethyst is not as miraculous as Lord Xaro said, but it pulled the poisons out of my body from the wound." Dany whispered.

"Impossible." The female assassin intoned, "Only a Red God Priest with proven skill can create a poison-avoiding crystal, and it must be prepared in advance by predicting the toxins that one may encounter.

The story of magic crystals is misunderstood and exaggerated countless times, it is impossible to defend against poisons.

A Qartheen sending you with a magic crystal was known, it being an amethyst was also known, but even if it is really a magic crystal, you are not a Red God Priest, otherwise, you should have predicted today's assassination, and I can't hurt you at all."

It turns out that's right, no wonder the crystal didn't work at all, and Dany scolded Trasho 10,000 times in her heart.

Thanks to her wearing it on her head the past few days.

No matter how terrifying the Basilisk and Manticore poisons are, they are biological poisons.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of protein, and any protein will lose its activity when it encounters a high temperature of eight or nine hundred degrees.

Dany's cells, neurons, spinal cord, teeth, red blood cells, white blood cells, and even amino acids, glucose, etc. in the blood can resist high temperature, but what is bad for the human body still affects her.

So, she often uses fire to sterilize and remove mites, remove dead skin, and calluses.

In addition to beauty benefits, it can also assist digestion, increase cell activity and nutrient absorption.

The higher the temperature, the greater the molecular activity, very scientific!

When the body temperature rises to two hundred degrees, the Basilisk and Manticore mixed poisons will be decomposed from proteins into amino acids, which will be digested and absorbed by Dany.

But she wouldn't say that to the female assassin, and the Unsullied, who were present at the time, were also ordered to silence.

It's better to let the enemy poison her than to come up with games such as cutting off heads and digging out hearts.

"Believe it or not, my magic crystal is really good at warding off poison, and I have used it to avoid multiple assassinations by Qarth Pureborn." Dany calmly said.

Without waiting for the other party to say anything, she put away the amethyst after explaining it and asked, "Who hired you?"

"You think I would know?" The female assassin emotionlessly said.

"As a Faceless Men, you don't know your employer?" Dany asked.

"You the Mother of Dragons lived in Braavos for a few years, do you think the House of Black and White has only one Unsullied?" the assassin replied.

There is no doubt that, as the world's first Assassin Organization, it also opens its doors to business to the people of the whole world. At least the Faceless Men has a strong government as its backer, and it must be an extremely tight organization.

The female assassin is very likely telling the truth, she only executes the mission, and will not know who the employer is and why.

Like Arya Stark in The Game of Thrones.

"What's your name?" Dany changed the question.

"Someone who used to be called 'Doreah' is now 'Faceless Men'." The female assassin gave a weird smile.

Dany's eyes widened and coldly said: "So, have you ever heard the name of 'Kem'?"

"A fat man living on Linhai Street. The cook?" Faceless Men said in a low voice, "Yes, I'm Kem too."

A stranger can never get close to Doreah, so last night Dany ordered an inspection of all employees in the pyramid, it turns out that a cook named Kem was missing.

Obviously, the Faceless Men first sneaked into the city of Astapor, looking for an opportunity to replace Kem, the cook, and when she came into contact with Doreah, Kem's identity was abandoned.

As for pretending to be a cook to poison the food…

Like most emperors who are poisoned by assassins, Barristan also built a food system for Dany.

"You're a Faceless Men, why are you collaborating with other people?" Dany asked.

"Cooperation?" The female assassin cracked an ugly mouth with a few missing teeth, and laughed: "Faceless Men have no partner, but can use anyone's power to complete the mission."

Unable to help, Dany thinks of Arya's 'favorite' Jaqen, who seems to have also been caught by accident in King's Landing and was held in the King's Landing black jail with two mates, but his identity as a Faceless Men is not known, Jaqen with the help of the two covered his true purpose.

"Do you know who you are collaborating with?"

The female assassin said mutedly: "You should ask that person if he knows who he is collaborating with."

"Then, of the three Dragon eggs in my hoard, Euron only knows one, what about the other two?" Dany indifferently said.

In the beginning, the Unsullied didn't find the Dragon egg stolen at all. Later, under Dany's reminder, they went back to the treasure house and searched carefully for Doreah buried under the gold Dragons, but they were horrified to find that Queen's Dragon egg was missing.

the assassin looked at Dany's face seriously, and said strangely: "You are so calm when you lost three Dragon eggs?"

Because all three eggs are fake.

She never threw away the fragments left by the Dragon Hatching before. When she met an Asshai seller who sold fake Dragon eggs in Qarth, she followed his method and threw three broken stones. The egg glued into a complete Dragon egg and even changed its color.

The brass-colored Dragon egg used for the Unsullied is a fake egg, even Euro Greyjoy didn't recognize this.

In the beginning, the three maids didn't know about this matter, because Dany was not sure who she would deceive next time, or when she would sell it for money.

The maid's on-the-spot reaction may make her fraudulent scheme come to fruition.

After Astapor can be shot down…well, the Good Masters fell and Dany was rich.

She doesn't need to use fake eggs to cheat any more money. The three missing stone eggs were left by the maids in the vault at will, along with the dozens of boxes of gems.

It's the brass Dragon egg that was taken from Euron and kept in Dany's bedroom, holding it to sleep almost every day, waiting for it to hatch slowly.

Doreah certainly knows which one is fake and which one is real, but it's clear that Lys Maid is not stupid, she's smart, and she cheated the Faceless Men once in the last moment of her life…..Oh, no, it must be Euron who wants the Dragon eggs.

The guy didn't just not give up on the Dragon Horn, he didn't even want to give up on the brass Dragon egg.

That's right, Dragonbinder and a young Dragon are a perfect match!

It's a pity…

Dany jeered in her heart, her expression still light, and said: "I can't control the Three-Headed Dragon, just a few more Wild Dragons. What's the use?

And…Dragon Hatching is not worth it, the life of the closest person must be exchanged from the Night Land for the birth of a new Dragon, just like I, my Black Dragon is the reincarnation of Khal Drogo."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help showing a look of sadness and said sadly: "If there is a choice, I would rather not have a Dragon."

Dany's emotions hit the female Faceless Men, she suddenly said: "No wonder you keep the Dragon eggs locked in the box and ignore them. The Dragon eggs are not the target of my mission, they are all placed in the flowerbed, and they were taken with the horn."

"Okay, you answered my question, and I told you a lot of secrets, and now you are only worth a little." Dany raised her index finger, and coldly said: "Tell me of the Faceless Men's secret, and I might spare your life."

"Valar Morghulis." The female assassin closed one eye and said.

"I hope you can keep going, Hattur take good care of her."

"Pa, slap, ah!" An Iron Tower-like brawny man came out of the shadows, and said with a malicious smile: "By the discretion of the Queen, there is no lips that the Devil's Tail cannot open in this world!"

Dany didn't waste too much time on the Faceless Men, what with there being thousands of sailors at the pier to recruit!

Last night before the Ghis fleet departed, a signal was sent to the sailors who had gathered in the quayside, and thousands of them swarmed to the sea.

Well, the sailors swam to the pier after falling into the sea before. They didn't want to attack the city of Astapor. They couldn't even do it with a single weapon. How could they attack the city wall six or seven meters high?

Their main concern was that they had just climbed onto the friendly warship and were immediately attacked by a Dragon's incendiary bombs.

Of course, they didn't want Dany to surrender. When the Dark Fleet left, they looked towards the fleet in the sea and swam over.

The Ghis people thought well, the sky was dark at night, the ship was moving slowly again, and the giant fires would naturally fail.

But Dany had already made arrangements for this, and the three Dragons were immediately changed, with dozens of beer bottle-sized clay pots tied together like a bunch of grapes.

The Dragons fly at an altitude of 500 meters, and can vaguely see the sea boats on the sea. The "grape bombs" fall to the sea in the form of scattered flowers.

In this way, the Ghis fleet not only failed to rescue the sailors who had fallen into the sea but also lost seven or eight ships.

It's also the Ghis people who are too greedy. At dusk, after the Black Dragon fell into the sea, the three Dragons went out of business for a while. At that time, if they escaped, they could save most of the sailors gathered at the pier.

But the Ghis fleet not only did not leave, but thought that Dany had died, and began to attack the city wall near the coast. Therefore, although Jorah was worried about Dany's safety, he persisted for more than half an hour before leaving the battlefield.

Well, Dany regained consciousness after being burned for a few minutes. The three Dragons were keenly aware of the situation of "mother", and under the leadership of Big Black, they returned to the dock to continue working as demolitionists.

For any who have read the MTL version of this chapter, they might notice a difference in the way characters react and how the chapter pans out on the small scale, for this, I have changed how the Assassin reacts to things. In the original version of this chapter the Assassin is played out more for the reaction and the Author, it felt like, held, quite honestly a very blase nature about this character. She showed a lot of emotions for one of the most feared and sought-after Assassins from within the world of The Game of Thrones. I toned down her reactions and pushed a quieter and more non-talkative approach to the Assassin as compared to the original, yet even still if feels like she asks too many questions. Other than that it is the same.
