Chapter 386
"Uh..." The old Sealord and First Sword looked at each other, turned their heads, gave the Dragon Queen an embarrassed but polite smile, and said, "I have stockpiled food, but never thought of plundering the world. , and will not have the crazy ambition to control the world, we are, just..."
The pale sick face turned red, and the old Sealord finally remembered what the Dragon Queen said before, a who I don't believe it, but they said a very bright and stalwart reason for buying grain.
"Like you, Dany, we also intend to save the world by hoarding food." The old Sealord argued with the courage of one's convictions, with a sincere face, "Yes, I believe your words, and save food to cope with it. Long Night, save the people of the world."
At the end, he also said with emotion: "Dany, I underestimated you, really. didn't expect you to be so thoughtful, even so... .The slogan is ready, I'm not as good as you."
I have a big lump of "motherfucker" that I want to stick on your face.
Dany's face was sullen, and he asked again, "What a loss?"
The emotion on Sealord's face changed to dullness, from dullness to stunned, suddenly to embarrassed, and finally, Embarrassment becomes embarrassment.
He moved his sick body awkwardly a few times, his sickly white face turned black, and he snorted: "It's all worthless, it's a miserable loss, even worse than you."
" Worse than me?" Dany raised his voice.
It seems dissatisfied that someone dares to arrogantly compare with her?
"Uh, I mean..." Sealord's old eyes rolled from side to side in embarrassment when he said what was in his heart.
After a while, he sighed then said, deciding that facing the same "veteran", he should be frank and open.
"The same idea as you, Iron Bank invested more than 80 million in Golden Dragon that year, from Jade Sea to Summer Sea, and then to Reach in the west to purchase food and cold-proof materials. Prepare to wait for Long Night to harvest. The gold of the whole world..."
"cough cough..." First Sword, embarrassed, coughed a few times, interrupting Sealord Your Majesty's 'nonsense', Whispered: "Save the world."
"'Save the world' is a propaganda slogan, everyone understands people, there is no need to say those foolish nonsense." The old Sealord muttered.
"You are Sealord!" First Sword insisted stubbornly.
"It is known!" Sealord reluctantly sighed then said, skipping this paragraph, and continued: "Ai, after two years of waiting, Long Night didn't wait, instead, Summer came...
"It is known!" ."
Dany could almost imagine that when the temperature rose day by day, a group of Braavos stared blankly at Sun's confused expression.
The corners of her mouth twitched a few times, and she asked again: "And then? You failed once and then gave up completely? No longer believe in the legend of Long Night?"
"How is that possible? Those are Others, the legendary Others appear in the world, can you not be afraid? There is also the prophecy of Azor Ahai, which has been circulated for thousands of years, who would dare to believe it?"
Old Sealord shook his head vigorously, "But we also Be more cautious and start looking for the Child of Prophecy, if you can find the Child of Prophecy, the Long Night time can be roughly estimated.
We go to the Isle of the Gods, to the Temple of the Moonsingers , ask High Priest to take action and predict the 'Prince that was Promised'."
Speaking of this, the old man gave Dany a complicated look, "Prince Rhaegar, your big brother is Prince that was Promised, Moonsinger told us so.
Then we went to King's Landing to investigate.
In Aegon V, during your Supreme Grandfather reign, Woods Witch also predicted it , the 'Child of Prophecy' was born among the descendants of the Aerys couple.
In keeping with Moonsinger's prophecy one after another, we are absolutely sure that Rhaegar is the Child of Prophecy, the reincarnation of Azor Ahai.
And he happened to be an adult at the time, young, wise, brave, and courageous, in line with everyone's Child of Prophecy fantasy.
Then Iron Bank started stockpiling food again, this time on a bigger scale , lasted longer, from Summer to autumn, and from autumn to winter, at a cost of 130 million Golden Dragon, in an attempt to make money from previous losses..."
"cough cough cough . ......" First Sword coughed like a sickness.
Sealord was interrupted, and took a while to react, then said helplessly: "It cost 130 million to save the world.
It's a pity. Unsatisfactory, waiting for the 'wrong spring', waiting for the news of Prince Rhaegar's defeat.
At that time, the winter was not over, and we still had the last glimmer of hope... Then came the eleven-year-long Summer."
"Bessaro's predecessor, the general manager of Iron Bank who presided over two grain hoardings, committed suicide," lamented Sealord.
Dany was stunned and asked: "You guys gave up completely, and don't plan to... save the world?"
"How can it be!" Sealord shook the head, Sighs, "The legend of Long Night is so appalling that we certainly won't give up on one or two failures...saving the world.
After all, Others are true.
Then we sent people deep beyond the wall Lands of Always Winter during the hottest summer, ready to probe the bottom of Others.
Guess what?
Others did not meet them, but found a few Wildlings tribes in the freezing glacier.
One of the old men said that he had known White Walkers for as long as he could remember, lived several decades, and saw them almost every winter. Their silhouette."
Lands of Always Winter, as the name suggests, is almost the Arctic Circle of this world.
It's "almost" because no one has ever actually crossed Lands of Always Winter, not sure if the other end of Lands of Always Winter is Asshai, or the deep Hell.
Even Dany, because he hasn't lived enough yet, doesn't dare to ride a dragon to explore there.
The Braavos people went to the Lands of Always Winter to find Others, which is considered "full of sincerity".
"This, how can we save the world? Obviously, we guessed wrong, Long Night brought Others, and Others have been living in the extreme eastern lands." The old Sealord spread his hands and said in frustration.
"Impossible, if Wildlings saw Others so many times, why didn't they get eaten?" Gerold wondered.
"It seems that because of religious belief, the old Wildlings called Others 'Messengers of God'." Sealord was stunned and uncertain.
[Cold God believers, 80% of them sacrificed to Others...]
Dany thought gloomily.
"Whether Others can bring Long Night to the world or not, you at least thought Long Night nears back then, and prepared so much food for this.
Then why not inform others , Night's Watch, Iron Throne, other Free City?" Gerold Dayne asked in a deep voice.
Sealord frowned and said, "Wildlings and Braavos sea merchants have all mentioned White Walkers to Night's Watch, but they don't believe it!"
"hmph, if you just and honourable announced the storage of food, and hyped up Others, and even called on everyone to form a group to go beyond the wall to find Others...
I don't believe it, everyone is a fool, I don't believe you at all words," Gerold coldly said.
"Ser, I don't know if other people are stupid, but I don't want to be a stupid Sealord." The old Ferrego had no shame.
Looking at the Dragon Queen, who is "like-minded" and "congenial", he decided to stop talking about "saving the world".
He said, not to mince words, "The big propaganda will cause grain prices to rise. The cost of grain storage will rise, the world will be in a state of panic, and maritime trade will collapse, which is not good for us.
Why should I sacrifice the interests of Braavos to save foreigners?
To put it badly, as long as Braavos can survive, the rest of the eight Free Cities will die into empty cities, which is only good for us
Dragon Queen thinks the same way?
Knowing about Others, she started to buy food secretly, and planned to pass Long Night to kill the hostile forces of Seven Kingdoms, I can't say They also plan to dominate the world through food!"
"When still in Wall, Night's Watch spread Raven widely, notified the nobles of the news of Others, and set the Queen and Seven Kingdoms princes as 'the one who' ends Long Night is king'," Gerold argued for the Queen.
Old Sealord, with a proud expression of 'I have seen through your heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney', said coolly: "Yes, Wall has too many Night's Watches, and Stannis' army, Others's. The news can no longer be concealed.
So hurry to Essos continent to buy food.
In order to seize the time, I don’t hesitate to give up 20% of the profit to Iron Bank. Queen Your Majesty is really great generosity , has the appearance of a formidable person!"
"Uh, Junior is not good enough in the end, and he was guessed by the senior at once. I am ashamed and ashamed!" Dany grabbed Gerold, who was still trying to argue, and smiled at Sealord. Say.
"It has nothing to do with Chengfu, you and I have the same King's Heart, and both have done what a king should do. After all, we are not Azor Ahai, and if we cannot become the savior, then strive to become the king of the new world
Unfortunately, Braavos lost a lot in the first two rounds and needs to take a sigh of relief. This round will be played by Dany.
It is the world overlord; if it fails, it is also It doesn't matter, but you lose tens of millions of Golden Dragon.
Don't be afraid, not necessarily Others really can't bring Long Night, and you have dragons, rich Slaver's Bay, and Westeros, completely lost Affordable."
Dany's pretty face almost contorted when he heard the old Sealord's words.
"What do you think of Child of Prophecy? Why am I not Azor Ahai reincarnated?" she asked curiously.
"I have read the ancient Asshai book, the 'Child of Prophecy' in the prophecy, the full name is 'Prince that was Promised'. That is to say, the savior is a Prince.
Dany, you're a princess, you're a queen, but you're not Prince. Well, neither am I," Ferrego said.
"That's it?" Dany's mouth twitched, thinking Sealord was confused.
"Moonsinger also predicted that no one thought you were the Child of Prophecy." Sealord shook his head.
"Well, I'm not the Child of Prophecy, I'm like you, I want to be the world's overlord." Dany seemed to give up the struggle.
Then she asked again: "Does Braavos have any plans to deal with Long Night? Let me learn."
"Keep your door close and let Azor Ahai be reincarnated to deal with Others. !" Sealord waved his hand, seemingly casually and helplessly.
"Uh, do you have any idea of helping Night's Watch and participating in the 'world people's united front against ghosts'?" Dany asked again, his eyes darkened.
"Dany, if Stannis is sure that Azor Ahai is reincarnated, would you like to come under his command and be his little brother?" Sealord asked with bright light flashing in his eyes.
"Maybe..." Dany hesitated.
Stannis is not the Child of Prophecy, but Jon is!
The question is, is she willing to be a little brother for her nephew?
"No possibility," Sealord interrupted her hesitation, "I certainly can't wait for Long Night to come, but I can tell you for sure that the next Sealord will definitely choose the same as you and me.
Because, we are not willing to be inferior to others.
Either we are the savior of the world, passed down through the ages, and admired by others; Get real benefits - turf and gold.
Azor Ahai can't convince us, this is the essence of a king!
You think, Azor Ahai saved the world, But his descendants only occupied the remote place of Patrimony of Hyrkoon, why?
Because of the last Long Night, all the surviving kings, like us, did not acknowledge allegiance to the savior.
Otherwise, the king who ruled the world should have the last name 'Hyrkoon' or 'Ahai'. The ancient Ghis, Rhoynar and Valyria will never rise."
"You're right." Dany weighed heavily He sighed, and lowered his eyes to hide the strange color in his eyes.
This is the inferiority of human beings?
But she didn't have the position to curse those kings loudly at this time, because she didn't want to acknowledge allegiance to Jon, or even give him a "deserved" dragon - if there is destiny, Jon will is one of the three heads.
In turn, she thought, oneself a transmigrator, still use the Child of Prophecy in charge of this world?
Well, even if Jon fulfills the ancient prophecy in the end, she can, like the ancient kings, let him go to the desolate Gobi in Asshai and establish a "Jon Snow descendant country"!
"dong dong dong..." While several people were silently thinking about their own thoughts, there were continuous footsteps on the stairway below.
More than just fat Keyholders?
"Be careful!" Dany face changed, turning his head to remind Gerold Dayne in a low voice.
