Chapter 382
Keyholders Bessaro squeezes an embarrassed grin on his face, stretches out his white bread-like palm, and holds up his five carrot-like fingers.
"Five million Golden Dragon?" Dany raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"en." Bessaro pouted nodded.
"Hehe, what do you say now? You're a Keyholder, and you know about Faceless Men's remuneration. There's no doubt that House of Black and White's Golden Dragon is in Braavos Iron Bank, and it doesn't matter. ?" Gerold Dayne said with a sneer.
"Braavos Iron Bank accepts deposits from all over the world. The former King Aerys, and now Dorne Martell, also have deposits here." Bessaro's eyes floated upwards and rubbed his fat hands.
"No wonder, in just over three hundred years, Braavos has jumped from a remote sea city to the top of the Nine Free Cities." Dany said with a complex expression.
During the Valyria period, Braavos was only an "illegitimate daughter".
Not to mention the other eight city-states, even the White Harbor in the North next door is not as good - in the first few hundred years, Braavos could only eat the residue of the Narrow Sea trade, mainly competing with White Harbor for the trade of the Shivering Sea , but White Harbor has a longer history.
After the cataclysm, Volantis has also been a "big sister" for more than 100 years. By the time the Aegon siblings landed in Westeros, Braavos had become the number one Nine Free Cities.
The speed of getting rich...
It's no wonder that an "ungrown" Dragon Queen can earn 5 million Golden Dragon, even if others are not as good as Dragon Queen is valuable, but as long as there are enough numbers, after a year, House of Black and White can also have...
Well, Dany doesn't know how many Faceless Men House of Black and White has, I don't know how often they take orders, and the income is really hard to calculate.
But Faceless Men is a business without capital. The Faceless Men who execute the mission are believers of Many-Faced God, even without any commission.
The gold is all in the hands of the House of Black and White and then locked in the Iron Bank.
“How many Faceless Men are in the House of Black and White?” she couldn't help asking.
Kindly Man became kind again and said kindly: "There is only one Nameless Men, but believers are all over Braavos and walk all over the world.
Like the Church of The Seven, Apart from occasional meetings, believers do not stay in church every day.
House of Black and White is Many-Faced God's 'Great Sept of Baelor', that's all."
——So, it is wishful thinking for you to burn the House of Black and White on a dragon, at most one old man, and kill us all.
Dany understood it, and felt more and more that Faceless Men was a big trouble.
But she still pretended not to understand, gave Kindly Man a kind smile, and asked:
"High Priest seems to be emphasizing that only House of Black and The Faceless Men under White's jurisdiction will no longer attack me. In other words, can someone break away from the House of Black and White and regain their freedom?"
Kindly Man was very surprised, not expecting Dragon Queen to be so small Small flaws are noticed.
He didn't know that there was a Chinese man with white skin and yellow heart sitting opposite, a foreigner playing word games with a Chinese...
“Queen Your Majesty” , someone will introduce the Church of House of Black and White to you."
Kindly Man cleared his throat and explained solemnly: "The Faceless Men in the world are the priests of the Many-Faced God Church. No worries, serve the Many-Faced God wholeheartedly, bring Spiritual God's gift to the damned person, and therefore be controlled by someone as the High Priest.
But all Church impossible is only the priest, and Ordinary people.
There are even monks who have returned to the secular world, but still retain their beliefs. At that time, when the Nameless Men became famous, they were no longer 'Nameless Men'."
Dany does not believe in House of Black and White will allow Old Xu Faceless Men to retire.
In the movie, when the killer wants to go into hiding and return to a normal life, few successful ones will be killed by the Assassin Organization.
Not to mention the old killer's pension, the dead can at least keep the organization's secrets better.
How many people will a qualified Faceless Men kill in their lifetime?
What kind of uproar would it cause if he revealed all the secrets of oneself's mission and the Faceless Men?
"If a 'Nameless Men' kills me with the skills of the 'Nameless Men', who is it?" Dany asked with a frown.
“You have the promise of the House of Black and White that as long as you are a believer of Many-Faced God, you will never be shot. This is a stronger and more sacred promise than guest right and sacred oath.
If someone violates...even if House of Black and White cannot prevent it, it will definitely give him the greatest punishment after the incident." Kindly Man resolutely and decisively said.
he he he...
Old Faceless Men said something serious, but Dany just wanted to laugh.
A Faceless Men pair with a Queen, really worth it!
For a long time, Kindly Man asked: "Dragon Queen, about the Nameless Men's assassination of you, is House of Black and White's answer satisfactory?"
"Also Okay." Dany gritted his teeth.
What can I do if I am not satisfied?
Since ancient times, the outcome of the negotiation is not based on the right or wrong of both parties, but depends on how thick the muzzle is and how far the projectiles are.
After some testing, Dragon Queen found that oneself's muzzle was thick enough, but it couldn't kill the enemy with one shot.
Facing the Faceless Men with deep roots, prosperous branches and leaves, but extremely hidden, Dragon Queen also felt that there was nowhere to use it, and nowhere to shoot.
"pa pa pa..." Fatty Bessaro clapped his hands and smiled with a kind flower on his face, saying:
"Alright, House of Black and White The misunderstanding with Dragon Queen has been resolved perfectly, how about we go to Sealord's Palace to celebrate?"
Kindly Man stood up, shook his head and said, "Someone has to serve Many-Faced God and say goodbye."
Kindly Man stood up and shook his head. p>
Give a salute to Dragon Queen again, Kindly Man took Arya and the vagrant to the stairs.
"Wait a minute," Darkstar extended his right hand to Faceless Men, "Your Majesty, you haven't asked who was going to kill you!"
"Ser, sorry Obey, the House of Black and White will never betray the 'Giving One'."
Kindly Man paused, as if to answer Gerold Dayne, but turned his head in the direction of the Dragon Queen.
"Dedication?" Dany looked odd.
fatty Bessaro explained: "According to the teachings of Many-Faced God, death is the 'gift' of God, the end of suffering.
Then, one wants to have this To plant a 'gift', you must give enough dedication and sacrifice to Spiritual God. Faceless Men will represent God and give 'gift' to anyone in the world."
motherfucker, shameless assassination can also be done by you It's so fresh and refined, I can't stand it anymore.
"Gerold, don't embarrass Lord Priest, I know who it is." Dany smiled helplessly, "In the entire Westeros, except Duke Tywin, who else can only know my Dragon Hatching for the first time, Make up your mind to invite Faceless Men?"
Kindly Man pupil shrink, without saying a word, turned and left.
"Tywin Lannister..." Arya's eyes flashed, and one last glance at Dragon Queen followed in Kindly Man's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, you're so smart!" Fatty Bessaro gave a thumbs up and said with admiration, "If it wasn't for Duke Tywin's guarantee of Iron Bank, I wouldn't have known that Tywin, who is tens of thousands of miles away, would be so afraid. You.
It now looks like he's doing the right thing, you're Iron Throne's biggest threat.
Alas, Westeros has never been more sober than Duke Tywin."
“Tywin asks Faceless Men to ask for a loan? Don’t they all say that the cakes that Tywin pulls are all gold?” Dany was surprised.
fatty Bessaro's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully, "Queen Your Majesty, do you think Targaryen's enemies are only Lannisters?"
"I don't want them, I want them I don't think Targaryen is the enemy of oneself." Dany laughed.
"A very wise decision. If you insist on revenge, Seven Kingdoms will be at least five and a half, and the conflict with you cannot be resolved." Bessaro said with appreciation.
“What does this have to do with the Tywin loan?” Gerold Dayne asked.
Bessaro smiled shrewdly and said, "Since Baratheon sits on Iron Throne, and the Seven Kingdoms nobles are so hostile to Targaryen, then Duke Tywin doesn't need to spend oneself's money to serve the kingdom.
Bessaro said with a shrewd smile." p>
Even Targaryen is Lannister's sworn enemy, even if Iron Throne sits on his grandson, or biological grandson."
"It makes sense," Dany exclaimed, "no wonder Lannister is Seven Kingdoms The richest man, even the distant Slaver's Bay, can hear the story of Tywin pulling gold."
fatty suddenly looked bitter and stammering said: "Your Majesty, there is something I don't know how to say... ..."
"Come on, no matter how bad the news is, I can bear it." Dany rolled his eyes at him and sighed.
“Iron Bank will have its due, you know?” Bessaro said.
"en. ”
"The royal family's debt, secured by Iron Throne..." Bessaro observed the Dragon Queen's expression, and cautiously said: "According to tradition, The new dynasty is obliged to repay the debts of the previous dynasty."
Dany's heart was Field of Fire, and his face was calm, indifferently said: "So, if I board Iron Throne, I have to pay Tywin to hire Faceless Men assassinated my money?"
Bessaro seemed to be in a very difficult situation, his oily face like a white steamed bun was wrinkled into buns, and a pair of chubby hands twisted a twist.
"Theoretically, it's... like this..."
He seemed too ashamed, his head was almost buried on the table, and his voice was too loud. Very low, like a mosquito in a Summer mosquito net.
Dany's face is blank and Gerold Dayne sneers, both staring at fatty's bald head without saying a word.
The atmosphere was depressing, the firewood in the fireplace was beeping, and the hot sweat was seeping out from the fatty's shiny top door.
Squinting and pretending to be dead for a long time, Sealord seems to have woken up from his sleep, muttering, "Dragon Queen grew up in Braavos and is our best friend. Bessaro, for my sake, play 30% off?"
Bessaro Reyaan came to life immediately, widened a pair of innocent eyes, and shouted: "Under Sealord's Palace, I'm just one of the Keyholders, Iron Bank, I said no. Count."
"The most, the most..." Fatty gritted his teeth and said with a distorted expression: "Up to 20% off! House Reyaan's dividends at Iron Bank will not be available this year."
p>
"Dany, what do you think?" Sealord looked at Dragon Queen with a pair of sincere eyes.
Dany was noncommittal, and instead asked, "How much does King's Landing owe? Or, how much does it cost to pay Iron Bank to get on Iron Throne?"
Bessaro immediately asked. : "The repayment within one year is only 6.35 million. If it is you, you can get a 20% discount on the borrowing of Faceless Men, and you can get another million cheaper."
"How much is the annual interest?" Dany asked again.
"Not much, only 6.5%, much cheaper than Oldtown Church Bank's 9.3%." Bessaro said with a slight smile.
It is lower than the low-interest loans of many banks in modern society, and it is not considered usury.
However, in this world, deposits do not earn interest, and sometimes large-scale withdrawals in different places have to pay storage fees.
This kind of interest is similar to the national debt.
