The night is dark.
On the calm sea as dark as ink.
A large mast ship with faint lights was sailing quietly on the vast black water bay.
"Wow..."
Outside the window, the waves lapped against the side of the ship, making a rhythmic and sweet sound.
Morgan was lying on the bedside by the window.
Listening to the sound of waves coming from the window.
The originally slightly impetuous heart gradually calmed down.
Looking at the slightly narrow solid wood ceiling above my head.
Morgan was quietly reviewing the journey of the past six months since arriving in Westeros.
More than half a year ago, through the few memories in my mind.
Morgan, who came to the North, found Winterfell and joined the Stark family to protect the North.
For nearly a month at Winterfell.
He successfully gained the trust of the Duke of Winterfell, Eddard Stark, and his wife, and thus obtained the qualification to go to King's Landing.
Then, it took more than three months to follow Ed Stark and follow the king and queen's motorcade south to King's Landing.
It's funny to say that these three months were actually longer than the time he spent in Winterfell and the previous King's Landing combined.
But there is no way.
This is how the times are.
Whether it was in the last Middle-earth world or the world under our feet now.
Traveling long distances is so time consuming.
For example, at the moment, Morgan is going to the next target: "Astabo" located in Slaver's Bay, the "Continent of Essos" across the sea from the continent of Westeros.
Morgan's journey to "Astapo" is probably longer, more distant, and more time-consuming than the longest journey he has ever experienced, including the journey in the previous Middle-earth world.
But it’s been a long time since I came to another world.
Morgan was already used to it.
Time spent traveling always seems longer.
Just like it took him three months to get from Winterfell to King's Landing.
This time, I only stayed in King's Landing for more than a month.
But this is a lot of time.
But it was the most exciting month since Morgan came to this world.
The most exciting reason is naturally because of the martial arts tournament. He won the unprecedented "Triple Crown" in the martial arts tournament.
This allowed him to truly experience what it was like to be an idol.
Of course, the excitement of sleeping with the current King and Queen of the Seven Kingdoms was also included.
It would be a pity, if it weren't for the fear of being forced by Daenerys Targaryen's "Unsullied" army, which invaded Astapor first, and Queen Cersei Lannister.
Morgan plans to live in King's Landing for a long time.
After all, these past few days in King's Landing have been the most free-spirited period of time he has ever had in another world.
"Wow..."
The waves continued to lap against the side of the ship.
After reviewing his experiences during this period, Morgan sighed with emotion.
He quickly calmed down.
He can distinguish between business and enjoyment.
Thinking of this, my mind moved slightly.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
Lines of pale white virtual data began to jump and flash before his eyes.
[Time Traveler: Morgan]
[Race: Human]
[Biological Level: Level 2]
[Soul Power: 1]
[Attributes: Strength LV7; Constitution LV8; Agility LV6; Spirit LV6]
[Ability: Universal Language; Muay Thai LV2; White Crow Swordsmanship (Proficient) LV4; Archery (Proficient) LV4; Rock Body (Special Skill); Dragon Power (Special Skill); Charge (Special Skill); Mental Shock (Special Skill) Skill); Eagle Eye (Special Skill); Flash (Special Skill); Any Door (Special Skill)]
[Talent: Intimacy (Special Skill)]
[Current world exploration progress: 0.93%]
【......】
The light white virtual data flashes continuously.
Morgan looked calm in his eyes.
Since coming to this world.
The intervals between his summons to the Time Traveler System are far less frequent than in Middle-earth.
Because without killing, it would be difficult to obtain soul power.
And with his current strength, unless he could kill individual creatures of the same level or even more powerful, or hunt down a large number of weak creatures purely based on the number of heads, it would be more difficult to obtain soul power.
The world beneath our feet.
Morgan thought about it carefully, and the only ones who could be stronger than him individually were probably the few future grown dragons in the hands of Daenerys Targaryen.
If he killed those dragons, he should be able to gain some soul power.
As for the other way, the only way is to participate in the war.
It's just based on his current strength and the general strength of the warriors and mercenaries in this world.
Morgan estimated that if he went out and killed three to four hundred people in person, he should be able to gain about a little bit of soul power.
Three to four hundred heads can be exchanged for a little soul power.
Such a ratio makes Morgan somewhat powerless.
This is also the reason why he does not expect to obtain soul power in this world.
"Swipe, swipe, swipe..."
[Biological Level: Level 2]
[Soul Power: 1]
【Attributes:......】
The virtual data kept jumping, and the soul power column soon appeared in front of you.
Looking at the soul power column that has not changed.
Morgan looked calm. In the past few days, apart from killing Gregor Clegane, the "Magic Mountain" whose strength was equal to that of an ordinary troll, he had gained no other soul power.
It’s not surprising that the soul bar remains unchanged.
Keep reading.
It didn't take long.
When seeing the progress behind the world exploration progress bar.
Morgan's eyes finally showed a slight fluctuation.
【0.93%...】
Compared with the last time he was in the tournament, the exploration progress increased by 0.18%.
Compared with before, the 0.18% increase in just four or five days is actually not that small.
But if you take into account that Morgan won the unprecedented "Triple Crown" in the tournament, the dragon eggs he snatched from the Black Forest Chamber of Commerce, and the fact that he killed the "Magic Mountain" on the street... it seems like a few other things.
It's a little less...
At least less than he expected.
However, Morgan often complained about the stingy system and Grandet's stinginess.
But he still believes in the system's calculation method.
After all, the system is Party A and the father.
If there are errors in his predictions, it can only be because he does not understand the system well enough.
Can't blame dad.
"0.93%..."
“I don’t know when I can reach 1%...”
"You should be able to reach Astapor in Slaver's Bay and buy the "Unsullied"..."
"Or, if I can hatch the dragon egg on my body, it should be OK..."
"If you achieve 1% of the achievement, what kind of reward will it be this time... Is it a physical treasure like a dimensional ring, a powerful special skill like "Any Door", or other rewards?"
"..."
Looking at the data column in front of him, Morgan secretly guessed again.
"Wow..."
There was a constant sound of waves outside the window.
The night is getting darker.
This journey to Astapor in Slaver's Bay was a long one.
Morgan was prepared for a long journey.
in the coming time.
On this large masted ship, Morgan spent every day watching the sea besides eating, drinking, and having diarrhea.
Standing on the side of the ship, watching from the window while lying on the bed, sometimes even climbing up the tall mast in the dead of night to watch.
Long journeys can be very boring.
Morgan can tolerate loneliness.
But it doesn’t mean that everyone on board can endure loneliness.
Less than a week.
A lady with an average appearance but a plump figure took a liking to Morgan and approached her.
It's just that Morgan, whose appetite has been cultivated for a long time, can't fall in love with such a woman.
No matter how ugly the woman is on the boat, there are other coveted men behind her.
Morgan unceremoniously rejected the lady.
The lady was very angry at being rejected.
However, the attendants following the lady did not dare to say anything because of Morgan's aura.
This is my first time taking a boat in this world, except for this little episode.
Morgan didn't encounter other interesting things like pirates.
In this way, a month passed quietly.
Morgan also arrives at his first stop on his way to Aposta, Slaver's Bay: Pentos.
Pentos: One of the nine major trading city-states, it is located in the west of the Essos continent, bordering the Narrow Sea and far away from the Seven Kingdoms. It is the free trade city-state closest to King's Landing.
Because it is too far to go to Aposta in Slaver's Bay by sea.
The fastest route to Aposta is via the city-states of Pentos and Norvos, and then along the edge of the vast grasslands of the Dothraki Sea to Slaver's Bay.
This was also the route Morgan had mapped out in King's Landing.
Looking at the huge city standing on the seaside at the end of the line of sight.
Standing on the bow of the ship, Morgan suddenly remembered the news about Daenerys Targaryen that he had bought on the underground black market in King's Landing.
One of them is: Daenerys seems to have married Drogo Khal, the largest lord of Dothraki, in this city.
at this time.
Suddenly there was a loud sound from behind.
"The city you see ahead is our destination this time, the most prosperous free city-state of Pantos..."
"Dear guests, please bring your belongings..."
"We are the passenger ship "Wind", and the next time we leave Pantos will be seven days later..."
"Guests who want to go to King's Landing can remember our departure time..."
"Finally, Captain Bobota wishes you a good time..."
The captain's voice fell.
The guests on deck began to make a noisy noise.
The guests who were still in their respective rooms immediately ran out of the cabin.
I could feel the excitement coming from behind.
Morgan can understand.
After all, in this world, there are many people who never leave a village in their entire lives.
What's more, they crossed the Narrow Sea, from the continent of Westeros where the Seven Kingdoms were located, to another continent of Essos, and came to a free trade city-state that was different from the Seven Kingdoms in many aspects.
For those who have had a similar experience, when they get old, they can spend the rest of their lives playing in pubs.
Half an hour later.
The mast passenger ship arrived at the dock of the city-state of Pentos.
Morgan stepped onto the dock.
Following a large number of people, they queued up to enter the city gate of Pentos.
Walking on the street, looking at the large number of round and square brick tower buildings on both sides of the street, as well as a large number of red temples and other buildings, you can tell that the architectural style of this city is obviously different from the traditional King's Landing architecture.
Morgan didn't plan to stay in Pentos for long this time.
It was still too far away from Astapor. He didn't know the specific time for Daenerys Targaryen to go to Astapor, so he could only rush there as quickly as possible.
During the month-long sea journey, Morgan consumed more food and drink than ever before.
Most of the supplies prepared in King's Landing were consumed.
He needed to replenish food and drink, as well as a mount for the journey.
Because the horses cannot board the ship.
Morgan did not give up his beloved horse "Carrot", but gave it to his young lover Diana in King's Landing to raise it on his behalf.
After finding a tavern in the city.
This time, Morgan did not choose to buy the horse directly from the tavern. Instead, he went to a shop specializing in selling horses in Pantos.
He inquired and knew that the weather in Essos was good this season.
If it goes well.
The next journey to Astapor should take about three months.
Riding on horseback for such a long time was absolutely painful.
Therefore, he was going to buy a complete set of carriage equipment.
And it’s not a one-seat carriage like I once bought.
This time he wants to buy a large two-seater carriage.
Of course, if you have a huge amount of money, you should enjoy it and not wrong yourself.
This is something Morgan realized some time ago in King's Landing.
It’s been a long time since I came to another world.
Morgan is now familiar with horses.
It didn't take him long to select two good horses.
To avoid accidents along the way.
The horse he chose was one that could pull a cart when put on the shackles, and could be used as a war horse when taken off the shackles.
Although the price is much more expensive than ordinary horses.
But Morgan doesn't care about these little money.
Bought two horses and a fine and spacious two-seater carriage.
Morgan then drove the carriage and continued to stroll around the streets of Pentos.
When I passed a wide square on the way back to the tavern.
He suddenly saw a high platform built in the center of the square.
Standing on the high platform were a dozen or twenty short, thin boys and girls with chains around their hands and necks, as well as a bloated middle-aged man with a well-dressed figure and a big belly who was not talking about anything.
Below the high platform, there was a dense circle of people surrounding it.
"Is this a slave auction?"
Seeing such a scene for the first time, this idea immediately flashed through Morgan's mind.
In Westeros, whether in Winterfell in the north or King's Landing in the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, buying and selling slaves is not allowed.
But in a free city-state like Pentos.
Although slavery is also not allowed, there are no strong legal provisions or force to suppress it.
Many times, when it comes to matters involving a large amount of money, legal provisions can easily be exploited and become ineffective.
Like Pentos before us, although slavery is not allowed, this does not prevent some wealthy citizens from keeping slaves.
There are tens of thousands of "free slaves" in this city-state.
These free slaves are completely indistinguishable from slaves except for slightly different names.
Of course, Morgan didn't know this.
It was the first time I saw a slave auction site.
Morgan naturally wanted to take a look from above.
Drive to the foot of the high platform.
Morgan stood on the edge and listened to the fat man's explanation above, and quickly understood.
Just as he thought, he was in front of a slave auction venue, and it was also an auction venue for underage slaves.
Unlike adult slaves.
The price of underage slaves is significantly lower.
But female slaves are just the opposite.
Underage female slaves were more expensive.
Everyone knows the reasons.
In front of me, among the twenty-two underage slaves, there were seventeen boys and only five girls.
And listened to the noisy speeches of most of the onlookers at the scene.
Morgan heard that most of the men came for the five slave girls.
