"Next, the Holy Flame fleet will escort you safely to Holy Flame Island. After the handover is completed there, you can leave safely."
"There are many interesting things on Holy Flame Island. I hope they can bring you a surprise!"
After saying that, Daenerys rode Dreamfire away, while Lisandro stared at the direction the giant dragon left for a long time, unable to snap out of his daze.
It wasn't until Daenerys had gone far away that Giovanni and Delazeco walked out of the cabin.
"They all say the beauty of the descendants of the Valyrian Dragon Kings is like that of gods, and now that I've seen it, it's truly so!"
Giovanni couldn't help but praise.
"Especially the appearance of this Dragon Princess, it truly cannot be compared to the women of the Ancient Valyria descendants in the Free Trade Cities."
"Especially the blue giant dragon she rides, it's simply the most perfect creation in the world!"
For the three Rogare father and sons, it was the first time in their lives they had come into such close contact with a giant dragon. Dezelako also couldn't help but exclaim,
"Yes, when viewing a giant dragon at such close proximity, I feel as if the blood in my body is about to burn. This feeling is truly wonderful!"
Lisandro murmured to himself,
"I'm becoming more and more curious about Holy Flame Island!"
During the day and night of the riot in Oldtown, the Holy Flame fleet also intercepted more than a dozen merchant fleets that came to Oldtown for trade. Currently, these fleets have all been put under the watch of the Holy Flame fleet.
Daenerys rode Dreamfire directly above these ships. In the night, Dreamfire's huge Dragon Wings made them feel an immense sense of oppression. These people had traded back and forth across the Narrow Sea for years, and they had often seen giant dragons soaring from afar.
But it was the first time in their lives that one had flown directly above their heads. The strong airflow stirred up by the giant dragon's flapping Dragon Wings blew their hair and clothes in disarray.
Daenerys finally landed Dreamfire on the deck of a three-masted sailboat, then said loudly,
"A riot previously occurred in Oldtown, and all the ships docked in the harbor have been looted. Although the riot has been suppressed, it will take some time for Oldtown to restore order. For safety, you should also follow the Holy Flame fleet to Holy Flame Island."
"I believe you can also have good gains on Holy Flame Island!"
With the guarantee of Princess Daenerys of the Targaryen Royal Family, the originally uneasy crowd immediately felt greatly relieved. Moreover, they had already heard of Holy Flame Island's reputation, but no trade route had been opened there yet. Everyone felt that this was a good opportunity.
Thinking this way, the gloomy mood caused by the setbacks in Oldtown immediately dissipated.
Although Holy Flame Island has established frequent trade relations with many families in Westeros, because the dock is still under construction and the scale of the Dragonstone dock is limited, those large merchant fleets are not very enthusiastic about trading on Holy Flame Island.
Furthermore, they can also purchase some of Holy Flame Island's unique goods from other major port cities. Although the prices are a bit higher, the profits from transporting them to the East Continent are also very substantial.
After giving her instructions, Daenerys rode her dragon back to the Starry Sept. At this time, all the treasures plundered from Oldtown and the Starry Sept had already been loaded onto the ships.
One hundred Unicorn Knights, led by the Wolf brothers, also opened the chain across the river in Oldtown. Then, they led the Holy Flame fleet to escort the fleets near the chain to leave first.
Meanwhile, Dax and his remaining brothers, leading five hundred slave soldiers skilled in ocean navigation, commanded over two hundred large ocean-going vessels, including three-masted sailboats and large flat-bottomed sailboats, laden with treasures. They followed far behind the Holy Flame fleet, majestically departing Oldtown and heading towards Holy Flame Island.
The total value of the treasures plundered from the Starry Sept treasury and Oldtown this time is no less than thirteen to fourteen million gold dragons. Adding the seven million gold dragons that the Hightower Family had previously moved to the Holy Flame fleet, over twenty million gold dragons worth of treasures will be transported back to Holy Flame Island this time.
And those more than two hundred large seagoing vessels are even more valuable. Although some are a bit old, their total value definitely exceeds fifteen million gold dragons.
It can be said that Daenerys this time completely plundered all the liquid assets of the entire Oldtown. This fat pig, which had been raised for thousands of years, was finally tasted by Daenerys.
However, the real highlight was the land deeds and house deeds in various Free Trade Cities that Daenerys had plundered from the Hightower Family, as well as the still-liquid steel that Daenerys had blood-sacrificed in the Starry Sept today.
Although the molten steel had not yet solidified, Daenerys could already feel the vigorous magic contained within it. It was indeed because of the addition of sea dragon bones that the magic generated in the molten steel by the blood sacrifice did not dissipate.
However, Daenerys is currently unable to determine whether the steel refined in this way is Valyrian steel. If it is, this magical steel, enough to forge five hundred sets of armor and weapons, is already worth over one hundred million gold dragons.
In the Free Trade Cities, both houses and land are relatively valuable. The total value of the house deeds and land deeds that Daenerys plundered from the Hightower Family is no less than ten million gold dragons, and these are all golden geese that lay eggs, which cannot necessarily be bought even with money.
Who knows what Earl Hightower's mood will be when he discovers that these have all been plundered by Daenerys.
In fact, Earl Hightower had already discovered it, but now the entire Hightower and most of the Hightower Family's bloodline descendants are being guarded by Daenerys's dragons. Even if his heart was bleeding, he only dared to furiously pound his chest, not daring to let out even a slightly louder roar.
Earl Hightower's wife and his eldest daughter, Emily, comforted him from the side,
"Forget it, although these things are precious, they are merely external possessions. It is most important that our family can safely escape this catastrophe."
"Yes, Father! I heard that Princess Daenerys has great influence with King Jaehaerys, and she is the only Dragon Knight of the Targaryen Royal Family who can command multiple giant dragons."
"With the giant dragons in Princess Daenerys's hands, no one or no force in the world can withstand her dragon's wrath."
"I actually think it's a great thing for us that Princess Daenerys would even consider the Hightower Family's wealth!"
"Otherwise, with the leverage Princess Daenerys holds over our Hightower Family, she could simply exterminate us and empty out all these treasures, and no one would dare to object!"
With the comfort of his wife and daughter, Earl Hightower's anger finally completely dissipated, and he said somewhat weakly,
"How could I not know? Although compared to previous Hightower Family patriarchs, I am not particularly outstanding, but I am sufficient at maintaining what we have!"
"It's just that I really can't understand how our Hightower Family has fallen to such a state?"
