Chapter 385
Sealord's face was very ugly, and even Dany and Gerold on the side understood that he really didn't know anything about the behavior of Archmaester and the guards.
Does Braavos also have Game of Thrones?
Well, Game of Thrones is everywhere.
It's just that Braavos' political situation is notoriously stable in Nine Free Cities.
There has never been such a thing as a faint king, a Mad King, a powerful minister, a rebel minister, a warlord rebellion or the like.
Sealord, Archmaester, Iron Bank, Isle of the Gods, the four forces have a clear division of labor, harmony and unity.
I can't say it's the best political group in the Game of Thrones world, at least the best.
Especially when compared to Westeros rotting into a cesspool.
"Since the Archmaesters and the guards are here, why don't you come up and sit down and get things straight?" Dany suggested.
The presence of the Archmaester and the guards made Sealord suspicious and angry, but his sanity was still there, and he didn't want to lose face in front of outsiders.
hearing this didn't object, just looked at Bessaro.
“A major event affecting the future of Braavos needs to be decided after discussion between Archmaester and the guards, but they are only Sealord’s staff. Sealord can sign an agreement with you on behalf of Braavos.” Bessaro politely declined.
Sealord looks better.
“So what?” Dany asked.
The fat Keyholders stood up, bowed to the Dragon Queen, and said, "Your Majesty, since you're leaving tonight, can you wait a while for me to tell Archmaester and the guards your request? ?
As you said, can it be done, one sentence. The specific terms after it is done, I will discuss with Ser Gerold Dayne slowly."
"How long?"
“Not too long, maybe an hour or two,” Fatty replied.
"Okay, I'll wait for you for two hours." Dany nodded and said.
As fatty walked away with heavy steps, the old Sealord and Dragon Queen were relatively speechless.
After staring for a while, he seemed to remember something and asked, "Dany, can I ask, what are you doing with so much food?"
"If I say Long Night , I want to save the world. Do you believe it?" Dany sighed then said.
"If you don't want to say it, forget it, why use this kind of nonsense to fool this King." The old Sealord said sullenly.
"Okay, I'll be honest," Dany said with a wry smile, "winter is coming, but Westeros hasn't done a good job of stockpiling food, and most of the tens of millions of Seven Kingdoms are going to starve to death. I plan to transport them. A batch of grain will go back to buy people's hearts."
"hmph, if the common people can decide the ownership of Iron Throne, based on the grain that Highgarden sent to King's Landing, Iron Throne should also sit on Old Rose, and It's not Cersei anymore.
I don't believe it anymore, you don't even understand the truth." The old Sealord sneered again and again.
"Ai, you always have bright vision like a torch." Dany was helpless, and said like a broken jar: "As of now, I don't hide the purpose of oneself.
I want Iron Throne, I must Iron Throne, Targaryen can't live without Iron Throne.
With the Allies on the side, I won't be able to put the power of Slaver's Bay in Westeros for a few years.
A few years will be enough time for Lannister to stabilize the situation and allow the Seven Kingdoms to recover from years of war.
At that time, I will face a formidable enemy, even more powerful than the Allies at this time. Stronger.
So, I'm going to take Dragonstone first, put a nail in Westeros, and fight Lannister for a long time. Stock up enough food for ten years, and let Seven Kingdoms bleed for five years first.
Five years from now, either I'll be defeated by the Allies, or the Allies will lift the blockade of Slaver's Bay.
In any case, I'll be able to devote my full force to the Battle of Supremacy in Westeros Got it."
"Good!" Sealord Ferrego exclaimed.
So vicious, cunning, crazy woman.
As expected of the daughter of Mad King Aerys, as the commander-in-chief of the over 100,000 Ghis coalition forces that overturned Slaver's Bay, as expected as the Dragon Queen who shocked the people of the world!
"King Aerys' spirit in heaven, seeing you like this, must be very proud, very proud.
Iron Throne must be yours.
Looking at you I am also proud of you since I grew up from a baby to a qualified king." He said sincerely.
"Junior is far inferior to senior..." Dany showed a slightly stiff and modest smile.
Sealord's eyes flashed bright light, his gray stubble's chin lifted, and he said with a slight smile reservedly: "I'm afraid Iron Throne is just a part of your ambition, right?"
"How do you say it?" Dany was confused. Could it be that oneself is too domineering and exposed, and the old man just glanced at me and thought that I was an empress destined to dominate the world?
"I heard that you swore an oath to the Seven Kingdoms nobles, 'the one who ends Long Night is king'? You saw the Others outside the Wall and thought Long Night was coming?" Sealord asked with a smile.
"You even know this?" Dany pupil shrinks.
"Accurate and timely news is money. Iron Bank has the world's most gold and the world's most powerful intelligence network." The old Sealord believed.
"Yes, there are Others outside the Wall, and I have a battle with them. If the legend is correct, Long Night is coming, so I want to buy food on a large scale."
Dany decided to be an honest child and told the truth very honestly.
The "Futures Save the World Plan" was created because the warm and fertile Essos continent has no tradition of storing grain.
She plans to use gold to stimulate the merchants to plant food, and when Long Night comes, the people can live on that batch of food.
If everyone believed in Long Night nears, they would be more anxious to produce food than her.
In this way, her purpose has been achieved in disguise.
Well, gold can still be saved.
"Hahaha..." Sealord raised his head and laughed loudly, with the self-satisfaction and pride of "I have seen through everything, but you don't know anything".
"What? You don't believe it?" Dany was confused.
"Yes, of course." Sealord smiled nodded.
"If you believe it, why are you laughing mystifyingly?" Dany angrily said.
"Uh, sorry, I..." Sealord was embarrassed.
Is the contempt and pride in his smile so obvious?
Being a Sealord for several decades, the city is not as good as a small Queen, it's not right.
"Dany, as I said, Iron Bank has the most gold in the world, and also has the most powerful intelligence network in the world.
To be honest, your King's Landing is called 'The Spider' The eunuch, the intelligence innate talent is very strong.
His ability, coupled with Pentos Illyrio's unlimited support behind Golden Dragon, forms a powerful intelligence network that even King Aerys, Robert, and even Tywin can't do without .
But a person is not an opponent of an organization anyway, and in terms of intelligence strength, they are not even worthy of Iron Bank shoes." The old Sealord said proudly.
"So, what do you know?" Dany asked with a sullen face.
"Others!" Sealord said resolutely: "Others are real, as early as twenty years ago, when Others first appeared on the coast near Hardhome, we knew (ps)."
"Others!" p>
"Are you kidding?" Dany propped up on the table and stood up suddenly, looking at the sick old man with full of smiles across from him in disbelief.
Dragon Queen's lost self-control makes Braavos very satisfied and satisfied.
"Yes, we found the Others twenty years ago." Sealord nodded and smiled.
"Impossible, if Others had appeared twenty years ago, it would have been Long Night by now. And why haven't we heard anything about such an important event?" Gerold Dayne firmly did not believe it.
"Each year Braavos' merchant ship goes to Eastwatch in the north, to Hardhome further north, to do business with Night's Watch and Wildlings.
This is Braavos's thousand-year-old tradition!
p>
A slap-sized dog's head gold, an iron sword, a leather bag of inferior shochu, a bag of salt blocks, you can get it."
Sealord stretched out oneself, with shriveled muscles and bones. Prominent, the skin has the right hand of age spots the size of broad beans, frowns, and quickly shrinks back.
"Of course, while buying fur, gold and other supplies, Braavos merchants will also inquire about the Wildlings tribe.
It's not about spying on the information beyond the wall Wildlings, it's nothing. Valuable information.
The merchants also go to Bear Island and Frozen Shore on the other side of the continent. They need to know what the Wildlings tribe has and what they lack.
And then every other day In four or five years, with the goods the Wildlings need, bypass the Essos continent and go to the opposite side once.
Just in time, a Wildlings inadvertently told the merchant about the White Walkers.
White Walkers, representing Long Night, how terrifying, can we ignore it?"
"Have you sent someone to confirm?" Dany asked.
"Of course, for such an important matter, it would be funny to make an oolong." At that time, the old Sealord renounced his tenth name, recalling: "I personally sent the 'ghost hunter' to the The 'Flying Giant' battleship. Quietly departed at night.
They lived up to their expectations, and after two months of hard work under the leadership of Wildlings guides, they finally met the White Walkers."
Speaking of this, Sealord paused in a trance.
"Caught?" Gerold asked.
Sealord came back to his senses, shook his head, and said, "No, nine out of ten warriors died, and my first First Sword, my younger brother, was among them.
The last warrior died three days after returning to Braavos. Even the Valyrian Steel Sword lost nine handles."
"Nine handles?" Dany's eyes widened in disbelief. road.
"Since you know how to deal with Others, of course you have to prepare a Valyrian Steel Sword with magic breaker effect." Sealord as it should be by rights.
“Where did you get all the Valyrian Steel Swords?” Gerold asked Dany what he wanted to ask.
Old Sealord disapproved of the suspicions of the two and said: "Valyrian has built more than 3,000 Valyrian Steel weapons, and Westeros alone has more than 200.
As a world The first Free Cities, how many Valyrian Steel Swords are Braavos missing?"
[No shortage? good, very good. Hope you are doing so well. ]
Dany thought with a sullen face.
"I lost my sword and never looked for it again?" Gerold said.
"I found it, but I couldn't find it, maybe it was picked up by the Wildlings." Sealord said.
"No, the Wildlings don't have the Valyrian Steel Sword, and it's likely to be the trophy of the Others." Dany said suddenly.
Valyrian Steel Sword magic breaker, but it does not mean that Valyrian Steel Sword can ward off evil spirits, and evil things can also use Valyrian Steel Sword.
"They know how to pick up loot?" Sealord asked suspiciously.
"Others are wise." Dany nodded and asked again: "Twenty years ago, did you hoard food? Are you planning to plunder the world and control the world through food?"
