Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord.

Chapter 191 Missandei

Gavin's eyes slowly fell on the beaten slave girl.

She was very young, about the same age as Daenerys, with a slightly bronzed complexion, and wore a cool linen dress. The thin fabric fluttered gently in the breeze, making her figure look even more fragile.

There was a slave collar around her neck. In the sunlight, the cold metal gleamed dimly, as if telling the helplessness of her fate.

Gavin's heart moved, and he immediately realized that this was Missandei, Daenerys' best friend in the original drama, a slave girl who was proficient in more than ten languages. In Essos, where there are dozens of languages, someone who knows so many languages ​​is indeed a rare talent.

Gavin narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, he withdrew his thoughts and nodded slightly.

Afterwards, the Blood Dragon Guards behind him placed several heavy wooden boxes on the ground in neat movements and opened them one by one.

In an instant, countless golden beams flashed with dazzling light, as if the sun's light was concentrated in this small space.

Krazny's eyes were instantly attracted by the boxes of gold dragons, and greed spread in his eyes without any concealment. He walked towards the gold involuntarily, his steps were urgent, as if he was being pulled by a mysterious force, wanting to touch these symbols of wealth with his own hands.

However, before Kraznys could get close, the Blood Dragon Guards quickly stepped forward and stopped him.

Gavin's voice was cold and firm: "I want the best weapons and equipment. I can pay more, but I can't use shoddy ones."

After hearing this, Krasnyi showed an impatient look on his face. He said loudly: "Of course, among all the benefactors, I, Krasnyi, am the most trustworthy and equipped with the best weapons."

After hearing this, Gavin did not go into the issue further. His eyes turned slightly and said, "I want her again." As he spoke, his finger pointed at Missandei. Now that he had met her, Gavin decided to buy her and give her to Daenerys as a maid. As for the money, Gavin did not care. It would be temporarily kept in Kraznys' hands anyway.

Kraznys first looked at Missandei in confusion, then turned to look at Gavin, with a meaningful look on his face, and said arrogantly: "This is not for sale. Although she is a slave, she is of great help to me. She knows more than ten languages. As you know, not every guest can understand Valyrian."

Gavin seemed not to have heard his refusal and calmly responded, "Five hundred gold royals."

Krazny had a smug smile on his face and said loudly: "No, it has to be doubled."

"Deal! I want the whip as soon as possible. I won't leave Astapor in the short term. I also need a base." Gavin's tone was decisive and unquestionable.

Then, the Blood Dragon Guards stepped aside and stopped stopping Kraznys, allowing him to count the money.

Kraznys stroked the golden dragon and said, "Of course. Once I'm sure the gold is okay, I can give you the whip before sunset. As for the base, I happen to have a place in the city that can accommodate 3,000 people. You can stay as long as you pay."

Kraznys Monakros was indeed as trustworthy as he said. After confirming the number of gold dragons, he immediately held a handover ceremony for the new whip in front of Gavin, and the quality of the weapons he sent later was indeed good. Objectively speaking, in the original series, Kraznys was burned to death by Drogon, which was somewhat unkind of Daenerys.

As the current ruler of Astapor, a noble of Ghis, and a man who commands thousands of Unsullied, if Kraznys wanted a dragon, he could have snatched it when he met Daenerys.

At that time, Daenerys had no army or property. Not only was she in exile, but her three baby dragons had little combat power, so the risk cost of robbing was almost zero.

But Kraznys did not do so. He summoned all the good masters and persuaded them to pay 8,000 Unsullied in exchange for the dragon, thus facilitating the deal. However, he did not expect that in the end he did not get the dragon, but lost his life, and even Astapor was captured.

Gavin carefully looked at the Harpy Whip in his hand. The whip was made of tough black cowhide, which had been specially treated and felt very textured. The main body of the handle was made of hard walnut wood, and the surface was decorated with gold.

The harpy symbolizing the Ghis Empire is engraved on it. This fantasy creature has a woman's body, long clawed wings and a twisted scorpion tail. A heavy chain hangs from its claws, with an unclosed shackle at each end. The exquisite pattern represents the former glory and honor of the Ghis Empire.

After using the whip to give the Unsullied a few simple commands, Gavin felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

The uniform movements and unhesitating obedience made him truly feel the strong discipline of this army.

Apart from the Blood Dragon Guards, he rarely experienced such a high level of obedience in other armies.

Slowly putting down the whip in his hand, Gavin looked at Kraznys who was directing the slaves to carry the golden dragon, and asked, "If I order them to only be loyal to me in the future, instead of this whip, is that okay?"

After hearing this, Krasnys showed an impatient look on his face and said loudly, "Of course you can, but the premise is that they will remember you and hold another handover ceremony like the one just now. Many guests will do this, and we will also help host the ceremony when the guests make a purchase. The only trouble is that the ceremony is more complicated than the previous one, and in the future, if you want to mobilize the Unsullied, you have to go in person. If you can't get away, no one can command the Unsullied. The Unsullied are only loyal to one person or one object at a time. Unsullied officers can only command combat. They have no feelings and thoughts, and are no better than servants."

After hearing this, Gavin understood. To the good masters, the Unsullied were just tools of battle, and they only needed to obey.

As for when to do what, whether to attack, and who to protect, tools do not need to consider these issues, they just need to obey.

But on second thought, Gavin somewhat disagreed with what the other party said. After all, the Unsullied are human beings, and as human beings they have their own emotions.

In the original plot, some Unsullied would even seek comfort from prostitutes, and among them there was a leader named Grey Worm. He had richer emotions, including love, hatred, pain, anger, and everything that a person should have.

Essentially, Gavin and Kraznys had different ideas. As a benevolent master, the environment and education he had been exposed to made him never regard slaves as human beings. Slaves were just tools for them to gain wealth.

Gavin, on the other hand, can look at the Unsullied from a human perspective, which leads the two to reach different conclusions.
