Chapter 397
The second negotiation takes place at the gates of the Isle of the Gods, House of Black and White.
Little White puts Gerold Dayne on the island and Dany doesn't show up.
Subsequently, Big Black informed Bessaro and Kindly Man of the new negotiation location in the sky-they were a little shocked that the Dragon Queen would go to the House of Black and White-the three quickly reached four contracts.
The first two are really fair.
The Golden Dragon of Slaver's Bay is deposited into Iron Bank, and the handling fee is reduced from 13.5% to 13%; Iron Bank acts as a grain intermediary, and the grain price rises by 30% on the basis of the highest grain price at this time, which belongs to Iron Bank's commission.
Of course, you may earn more or less, depending on Iron Bank's means.
Just hand over enough food to the Dragon Queen after five years.
——Dany didn't expect to receive food, Long Night is here, who will sell the life-saving food?
This requires Iron Bank to encourage the people of the western continent to grow grain in the past five years - just like Guan Zhong buys deer to make Chu, Dany's goal has been achieved.
As for the harvest...
Probably can only give Dany peace of mind!
Knowing Long Night nears, she did everything she could to save people, not to mention how much she could save, she had a clear conscience.
...
The last two are the result of compromise between the two parties, and Dragon Queen gets a large fleet for free.
The ready-made fleet has tens of thousands of tons of supplies.
Braavos minimized the crisis of broken promises caused by breaking oaths and violating guest right, and at the same time obtained the forgiveness of Dragon Queen: no longer sending her eldest son to "meteorites" and "talking about family" over Braavos.
At the end of the negotiation, the Braavos also escorted the coup leaders such as Gebanys, Kantona, etc., with bruised noses and dirty faces, and let Deathwing judge them - spray them with Dragonflame, and vent the Dragon Queen.
Dany declined.
"The mother said that this is Braavos' internal affairs, and she does not interfere. And Gebanys' father, old Yarathon once invited her to dinner, she must forgive Lord Gebanys once. If possible, let him Just keep being Sealord." Big Black rumbled in mid-air.
Gebanys, whose face was ashes, was immediately revived with blood, kneeling on the ground and loudly thanking Dragon Queen for not killing him, and rambled about his friendship with little Dany when he was young (had a meal together).
At the end, there is a sincere assurance on his face that he will work hard to maintain Braavos' traditional friendship with Targaryen for as long as he is in Sealord's seat for a day.
Not to mention Bessaro and Kindly Man, even Gerold Dayne is disgusting.
The deal is signed, Big Black flies to Slaver's Bay, Little White returns to Dragonstone, and Gerold Dayne will lead that fleet to Eastwatch.
That night, Dragonstone, the table room at the top of Stone Drum.
This is a circular room with four tall, narrow windows facing East, West, North, and South.
In the hall there is an oddly shaped long wooden table with a detailed map of the Seven Kingdoms engraved on it, almost a small Westeros in equal scale. .
The "map table" is 15 meters long, and at the Dragonstone position on the map, there is a seat overlooking the whole map, where Aegon sat thinking about his plan to conquer the western continent.
"...that's about it."
Dany sat in the main seat, and Barristan, looking down, recounted what had happened in Braavos.
There were only two of them in the huge room.
Well, Dany is still mental protection, actually only Barristan.
"Big Black can really talk?" Barristan thought for a while, still in disbelief.
"After swallowing Rat Cook, his vocal cords seem to have suddenly developed some kind of evolution. Not only can he speak, but he can also produce complex and varied tones, which is very strange."
Dany thinks of oneself With Big Black's mouth, the scene of switching back and forth between Smaug, holy dragon, and Tathagata Buddha can't help but laugh weirdly.
"The Braavos people will not really give up their revenge." White Cloak worriedly said.
“If you want to get revenge on me, if you want to do bad things, you have to get through Long Night first.” Dany said with a sneer.
Barristan thought for a while and said, "Since Big Black can talk, let him walk around Citadel and King's Landing. Citadel hasn't stopped for ten days after winning Dragonstone, almost every day. All scattered Raven, speak ill of you to the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms.
Today said you violated guest rights, tomorrow said you studied the evil Blood Sorcery, Maegi, and the day after tomorrow said you inherited King Aerys' Mad Blood, It's Mad King II..."
Old Knight cautiously looked at Dany's face, seeing that she only smiled lightly and didn't burst into anger, and continued:
"The day after tomorrow Telling you a lot of lies, trying to use Others to distract the Seven Kingdoms nobles so that Iron Throne ignores the fact that Targaryen is back in Westeros again.
Well, Perestan informed Citadel and Seven Kingdoms about the Others, But no one believes it.
Some Maesters in Citadel even claim that Wall's 'Archmaester Perestan' is fake and that the real Archmaester was killed by you as early as the Citadel Incident.
Well, that fake Archmaester is Maester Aemon in disguise."
"Uh, that's all right, Citadel is totally shameless." Dany's mouth twitched.
"Ai, if Citadel's violation of guest rights proves to be true, don't talk about it, even survival will be difficult."
"They dare to send Raven to Dragonstone , speak ill of me to my face?" Dany questioned.
"Not really," Barristan laughed suddenly, "Your Majesty, you can't imagine how much the people of Seven Kingdoms love you.
A little change in Citadel, and there are countless Ravens immediately. Flying in from all over the Seven Kingdoms to report Citadel's treasonous behavior to you."
"Oh, what do you say?" Dany was interested.
"The second day after your departure, Duram Bar Emmon Earl at Massey's Hook Sharp Point is at Dragonstone, intending to offer allegiance to you."
There is only a narrow line between Dragonstone and Massey's Hook The waterway, known as the "Gullet".
Gullet is the outlet of Blackwater Bay.
If Sharp Point's allegiance can be obtained, then Dany may block Gullet, blocking the trade between King's Landing and the other side of the Narrow Sea.
And Sharp Point's Bar Emmon is not only a Crownlands noble, but also one of the few bannermen directly under Dragonstone.
"You forgot, in Wall, Stannis' team also has blue swordfish flags." Dany hesitantly said.
The blue swordfish is the family crest of Sharp Point Earl.
"Yes, Earl Duram's uncle joins Stannis' team and goes to the Wall, but that doesn't stop Sharp Point's allegiance to you."
"I don't want his allegiance , the more territory, the greater the responsibility." Dany said.
"I understand," said Barristan Throne, "besides Earl Duram, there are many letters from Earl Duram discussing allegiance, Crownlands, Riverlands, Dorne, Vale . .
But you have no idea of conquering Westeros immediately, so I reject all the nobility's secret allegiance.
And explain your plan to them one after another— There will be no Iron Throne until the next Summer. Also, if someone does end Long Night, you acknowledge allegiance."
Dany waved his hand, "I didn't acknowledge allegiance, Duke of Dragonstone would. To my descendants."
She doesn't even want Iron Throne, let alone come to Westeros to give people to courtiers?
"Speaking of descendants..." Barristan asked hesitantly, "Since you understand that the kingdom needs descendants to inherit, why did you reject Earl Celtigar's marriage plan?
I I think Aerys Celtigar is very good, capable, looks good, and his family is worthy of you... Most importantly, he also attaches great importance to honor and is a qualified Knight."
"Just because his name is Aerys, the first test was eliminated." Dany said oddly with a smile.
"Well, this reason is too..." Barristan's face twisted, "I'm afraid Earl Celtigar can't accept it."
"If every courtier must be satisfied, So why am I Queen?"
"Celtigar is different," Barristan emphasized.
"You think I'll grieve oneself for Celtigar?"
"Your Majesty, no one can force you to choose Ser Celtigar."
"This one Don't worry about it, if Long Night can't pass, it's useless for four generations to live together; Long Night passes, I'm still young and have a lot of time."
Explaining the matter, Dany asked again: "What was the response from King's Landing?"
"Kevan Lannister returned to King's Landing after we won Dragonstone third day and quickly took control of Small Council to replace Cersei as Regent King.
He's currently trying to come to terms with House Tyrell...at the very least, Reach's food is starting to come down Mander to King's Landing again..."
"Highgarden doesn't believe in Others ?" Dany frowned.
"Believe it or not, King's Landing is out of food, and as long as Highgarden wants to continue playing this Game of Thrones with Lannister, they'll have to bring in food. Otherwise, Tommen's rule will collapse and Tyrell's previous investment will be lost. It's all gone."
paused, Barristan added: "Actually, that's fine, the grain will finally circulate in Seven Kingdoms. If Highgarden is short of grain, at least it will take time to plant another wave of grain. "
Dany sighed: "I now understand why High Sparrow broke his appointment and only purchased 500,000 Golden Dragon food from Free City... You continue, what else did Kevan do?"
"He went to the Great Sept of Baelor to meet High Sparrow in person and convince Church to support Tommen's rule."
Dany disclaimed: "Yes, the mess Cersei made is still He really cleaned up. With Reach's army and provisions, and Church's support, if I hadn't suddenly appeared, Tommen's throne would have been firmly seated."
"Your Majesty, Kevan also thought about it. Your influence sent a letter to Dragonstone as soon as you arrived at King's Landing." Barristan said oddly.
"Oh?" Dany was really interested and asked quickly, "What did you say?"
"First, I promised to redeem Ser Peake, um, five thousand Golden Dragon , a no less, and acknowledges Targaryen's ownership of Dragonstone - whoever sits on Iron Throne in the end, Dragonstone will always be Targaryen's ancestral land.
He then represents Lannister with Iron Throne, accepting your' end Others are king'.
He also promised that when the Ironmen riots were quelled and the sea route to the North was reopened, Casterly Rock would send a batch of supplies from Lannisport to Shadow Tower.
If you don't block the sea route, you will also send a group of refugees from King's Landing to Wall to be Night's Watch."
"But he asks you to keep the oath you made in Wall - all nobles who support Wall , King, you don't take the initiative to fight against them. That is to say, you can't at least take action against the Westerlands and the areas controlled by King's Landing."
"Hehe, he has a good abacus, using It buys time to stabilize the chaotic King's Landing at this time," Dany said with a sneer.
Barristan nods.Barristan sighs, "I can see his purpose, and even he understands that we can guess his purpose, but he'll only be happier if you break the oath.
No matter how many Ravens Citadel sends, there are very few people in the Seven Kingdoms nobles who believe that you are violating your guest right - even Kevan also bluntly stated in the letter that he and Lannister think Citadel is lying - in fact, The people of the Seven Kingdoms can't find a reason for you to deal with the Citadel.
But the oath on the Wall, too many people know, you have become an oathbreaker, and all your enemies will be ecstatic."
"Why should I break my oath? the one who ends Long Night is king, if it can't be done, even if Lannister can make a country as stable as a barrel, it's useless. If it can be done, let them be king Go!" Dany lightly said with a smile.
King's Landing is a super big|trouble, you can get shit when you touch it.
She didn't even want Sharp Point next door to Dragonstone, so how could she go to that stall?
Also, even if Lannister is better than Arya and ends Long Night, it doesn't mean that Dany will give up the blood feud between Targaryen and Lannister.
Barristan suddenly looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, Ser Kevan is very rational, Iron Throne and Dragonstone will not have a conflict in a short time, but Cersei, that crazy woman is about to be released, then when..."
