Chapter 152 The Last Dragon Knights

Clay didn't know who the two people standing next to Daenerys were. One of them looked like a white-bearded grandfather, and the other looked like a sloppy knight.

Theoretically, this younger man, who is looking at him warily in a standard knight's sword-holding posture, should be more dangerous than the old man holding a long staff, but Clay vaguely feels that this old man is him. More to pay attention to.

Thinking about the people following Daenerys at this point in time, Clay could roughly guess the identities of these two people after thinking about it for a moment.

The eighth achievement is Ser Barristan Selmy and Daenerys's second-in-command, Jorah Mormont.

Hearing Clay call out her name accurately, Daenerys forced herself to calm down. She knew that this dragon knight who she didn't know how to face was coming for her.

The huge dragon head was right in front of her. Although she also had three small dragons, Daenerys was inferior in terms of momentum to the behemoth in front of her.

Pursing her lips, Daenerys looked at Clay's face, trying hard to find the outline of a family member in her memory from this face. Unfortunately, it backfired and she didn't see what she wanted.

"Won't you introduce yourself? It's not the behavior of a gentleman to ask like this."

Daenerys didn't know how to answer Clay's question, was it surprising or not? This is all inappropriate, the little queen is trying to take the initiative in the conversation, which is her habit.

Clay's eyes reflected Daenerys's nervous and uneasy face, and when his mind moved, an expression of impatience suddenly appeared on his face.

Galesos heard his master's thoughts and moved his eyes away from the silver-haired woman in front of him, whom he felt a little close to, and looked at the knight holding the sword beside him.

Clay also turned his face towards Jorah Mormont and sneered:

"Who am I? I can tell you Daenerys, but this is not a clean place. Someone is polluting the environment here, am I right? Varys's good spy, Jorah Mormont. "

The words were spoken lightly, but they sounded like thunder in the ears of Daenerys and Jorah Mormont. Barristan Selmy looked at Clay deeply and said nothing.

He knew what Jorah Mormont was doing, but now his identity was in doubt, so he did not reveal Jorah's identity to the queen. But now, this mysterious dragon knight actually told the truth. Obviously, this Be an insider.

And the most important thing is that he definitely has something to do with Westeros. He even knows Jorah Mormont. This is definitely not something that a person who has never been in Westeros can know, unless there is someone behind him. An extremely powerful intelligence organization.

After hearing Clay's words, Daenerys suddenly turned her head and looked blankly at the middle-aged knight who had sworn allegiance to her. She did not believe Clay's words, but she also believed that Clay would never act without aim.

Jorah Mormont's face was polished by the sea breeze until it was like a rock, and instantly turned pale. He didn't know how he was exposed. Only he and Lord Varys of King's Landing knew about this matter. How could it be...

"Daenerys...I didn't, that's not it..."

Watching this man's performance, Clay decided to add to the fire. He stood there with his arms folded and sneered:

"You are still acting here. You are just bullying Daenerys because she has never lived in Westeros. Do you need me to make it more clear? What did you send to the Octopus Spider when you were in Qarth?"

As soon as these words came out, the last trace of blood disappeared from Jorah Mormont's face. He stared at Clay in disbelief, his lips pursed white, but he couldn't say a word.

"I've left you with dignity, Jorah Mormont, in the vast sea. If you don't want to be my Galesos' lunch, just stay aside and avoid being an eyesore here!"

Clay's tone was very rude, and anyone could see the disdain in his eyes when he looked at Jorah Mormont.

At this time, Galesos roared at the right time, shattering Jorah Mormont's last courage to forcefully explain. He lowered the tip of Clay's sword, looked at Daenerys for the last time, and said sadly Walk towards the stern of the ship.

Daenerys looked at the back of Jorah Mormont silently, feeling a strong sense of unreality. The subordinate she thought was the most loyal had come here after all the hardships from the Dothraki steppe. The person turned out to be the usurper's spy.

She felt aggrieved, but she didn't know who to vent to, and her heart hurt. This was the first time she felt betrayed.

Biting her red lips, Daenerys took a deep breath. Now was not the time for her to hide in bed and cry silently. Jorah's departure made her completely at a disadvantage in this conversation.

"Okay... you got what you wanted, let's go to the bow, Dragon Knight."

Clay nodded, stretched out his hand to signal Daenerys to go first, then stopped Barristan Selmy who was following Daenerys closely, and whispered:

"I know who you are, Ser Barristan. Don't worry, I'm not your enemy, but there are some words that are not suitable for you to listen to right now. Can you give us a space to talk?"

After Jorah Mormont's identity was easily exposed, Ser Barristan anticipated this scene. He sighed deeply and did not insist. He just said:

"I hope you keep your promise, Dragon Knight, you know what she means."

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come to her."

Clay smiled and walked alone to the height of the bow, where Daenerys was waiting for him.

There is no one here, because Clay does not intend to let others know his identity. This vest of a member of the Belerys family can be worn in front of other people, but in the presence of Daenerys, who speaks High Valyrian as her native language. It is easy to be exposed in front of others.

Clay knew that this little queen was also an extremely sensitive person, and there was no need for him to hold her grudge over such things, even though he was here just to steal her crown.

"As you wish, now, can you tell me who you are?"

Purple eyes looked over Clay's body repeatedly. This was the first answer Daenerys wanted to know about Clay.

Clay no longer had the appetite to prey on Daenerys. A smile appeared on his face and he said slowly:

"Clay Mandler, that's my name."

Mandalay?

Daenerys' beautiful eyebrows suddenly knitted together. She had heard of this name before. Although she was a wandering princess, she obviously had a good knowledge of aristocratic heraldry. After rummaging through her memory for a while, she settled on Bai Bai. Hong Kong’s ruling family.

But immediately, her expression became very ugly. Daenerys looked into Clay's eyes and her voice was a little angry:

"The Manderlys of White Harbor, right? Clay Manderly, do you think I'm a fool?"

Of course Clay knew that she didn't believe it, because there were many points here that didn't make sense without explanation. He spread his hands helplessly, and Clay continued in a soothing tone:

"Don't be nervous, Daenerys. First, I am indeed Clay Manderly, the heir to the current Earl of White Harbor. Second, dragons and the blood of the Dragon King are your home, the ruins of Valyria to me Yes, please remember this first, I will tell you in detail later."

It took him a lot of effort to explain to his old man, but it was based on extremely low trust costs and knowing the basics. Now he has to explain to Daenerys, and he may not be able to make sense even in two days.

Anyway, we have a long way to go, let’s talk about it later.

Although she felt that Clay Mandler was just lying to her, Daenerys couldn't help it.

"Okay... Let's leave it at that. After all, I can't think of a reason for you to lie to me. Your dragon could burn all the people in this boat to death, but you didn't do it. So, I believe your statement for the time being, Clay Man. Dele.”

Hearing Daenerys' self-defense speech, Clay felt happy. This little queen is quite interesting. Is it okay to convince himself?

With his eyes scanning Daenerys's exquisite body, Clay nodded and waited for Daenerys to continue asking.

"Well, Clay Mandler, I don't know why you know I'm here, but I want to know more about what you want to do here to find me."

Although Daenerys asked this, she already had some expectations in her heart, but she did not reject them, because obviously, Clay Mandler still recognized her as a descendant of the Targaryen dynasty.

"Let's talk about a cooperation with you, but let's not rush this. Before that, I want to ask, Daenerys, where are you heading now?"

The sensitive Daenerys originally wanted to report a fake position to the ignorant Clay Manderly, but when she thought that he could find her so accurately and dig out such a big spy from her side, , and gave up this idea.

"Slaver's Bay, Clay Manderly, I'm going to Slaver's Bay, there's what I want there."

"Unsullied, right? A specialty of Astapor, a good idea."

Daenerys felt angry because the man in front of her guessed correctly again. This was a plan she had discussed with Jorah Mormont, who had just been expelled. It was impossible for outsiders to know about it.

Gritting her teeth, there was obvious dissatisfaction in Daenerys' voice. She could not control her emotions well at the moment.

"Yes, Clay Manderly, you are right, I need an army! The usurper's flag is still flying over the Red Keep. Without an army, how can I take back my father's throne?"

"Very well, Daenerys, this is your ambition, right? Then, I can tell you that I support your choice and swear by my last name."

Daenerys had vaguely guessed that Clay would say this. In fact, this was not surprising, because everyone who followed her said this, and this was the only justification for her gathering the team.

But she didn't understand one thing. If she remembered correctly, White Harbor, where Mandalay belonged, was a great noble in the north with a well-established background and a powerful vassal under Eddard Stark. Why would he come to support her?

"This is hard to convince me. You want to support me? You nobles who raised armies against my father seem to call me the Mad King's daughter."

Regarding Daenerys' statement, Clay spread his hands, grinned, and said softly:

"Don't worry, Daenerys. As I just said, the days are long and you will understand."

…

Jorah Mormont, Clay did not use the Mark of Axi on him, not because he was soft-hearted, but because he did not want to expose his witcher skills yet.

He has not reached any agreement with Daenerys now, but has just met. He doesn't know what the little queen thinks.

Judging from today's performance, she must have frightened him more than he was surprised. Not trusting herself was her most correct reaction. If she acted like she completely trusted herself now, Clay would I doubt her motives.

Clay only chatted with Daenerys for a while before ending this first conversation. He had to give the little queen enough time to think, and take his time. Anyway, Clay had plenty of time.

He has noticed that there is nothing on this ship that can threaten his existence. Now Daenerys' career has not even started, and there are only a few followers.

It was the presence of dragons, especially the aura of Galesos, that frightened the Dothraki who followed Daenerys. The place where the horses were placed under the cabin was filled with a fishy smell.

Clay waved his hand, and Galesos went to sea to find food. Along with him were Daenerys' three little dragons, who now simply did not dare to confront this guy who was several times their size.

It just so happened that they were also hungry. After hesitating beside Daenerys for a long time, Drogon was the first to spread his wings and follow Galesos' tail, flying towards the sea. His two follower brothers They also flew together.

Standing on the bow of the ship, Clay looked at the sea in the distance, which was the direction of Slaver's Bay and the true starting point of Daenerys' career as the Dragon Queen.

But now that I'm here, I'm afraid everything will become completely different. It's really interesting.

To be honest, with the power of the Mandalay family, even if they completely integrated the power of White Harbor and Twins, they would still be at an absolute disadvantage in this war.

There is no way to deal with the problem of the Stark family alone. Westeros is not a good place for powerful ministers to usurp the throne. The rigid social system means that betraying one's own lord is equivalent to betraying the entire aristocratic class.

The current Mandalay family simply does not have the ability to fight against the entire aristocratic class, not to mention that they themselves are members of the aristocracy.

Clay's action of letting Galesos leave immediately made everyone on the ship breathe a sigh of relief. After all, this blue-gold dragon put too much pressure on these people.

Seeing Clay's figure, Daenerys, who came nearby with her maid, hesitated for a moment, then took a rough wooden cup from the maid's hand and walked towards Clay's position.

Clay heard the footsteps, but he didn't look back. Most of his mind was thinking about the next step in dealing with Slaver's Bay, so he didn't pay much attention to things here.

"Clay Mandler, what are you looking at? I think this same sea surface is not worthy of your careful taste, right?"

Daenerys' unique voice sounded from behind Clay, interrupting Clay's thoughts.

He glanced at Daenerys who came to him, who handed him a glass of water. Clay took it and drank it without thinking.

Daenerys was a little surprised by Clay's behavior. She didn't believe that Clay wouldn't consider whether there was something else in the water, but he just drank it. This trust was unreasonable.

"Aren't you... afraid that I'll poison you?"

Clay curled his lips and thought, there are probably only a few drugs in the world that can poison me. Do you really think I'm stupid?

Shaking his head, Clay said:

"There's no need. You and I are the last dragon masters in this world. Daenerys, you know very well. I don't have anything to worry about."

Daenerys didn't listen carefully to Clay's words, because she suddenly realized something:

This guy seems to have never called himself "Her Majesty the Queen" from the beginning.

She carefully recalled every word she said to Clay, and she was convinced that in this Clay Manderly's heart, he seemed to be deliberately avoiding this point.

Why is this?

Daenerys seems to have the answer.

Wow, this is really difficult to write about. It’s really more difficult for women than for men.
