Chapter 413
A seagull spreads its slate-grey wings, printing a leisurely silhouette against a clear blue sky.
It looked down at the white sails and finally slid diagonally into the red brick city of Astapor.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the "Orange Wine" galleon slowly approached the Astapor pier.
The hot sea breeze from the land blew the tousled blond hair of the dwarf on the side of the boat.
"I'm going to see your aunt soon, why are you still looking so sad? You're not me, so you don't have to worry about losing your head.
The two aunts and nephews embraced each other. Weeping, what a touching scene, just thinking about it makes me want to cry." Tyrion smiled and said to the young man beside him.
Summer Sea The apocalypse was hot, and Tyrion was dressed like a youth: a thin linen blouse with an open chest, silk pants with knee-high trousers, and leather sandals.
The youth is slender and well-proportioned, seventeen or eighteen years old, with silver semi-long hair, violet eyes, a handsome man with a somewhat feminine temperament.
Called Young Griff by sailors and travelers aboard Orange Wine, he was known to travel to Slaver's Bay with father Griff and a few entourages.
It is said that Young Griff's aunt made a fortune in the Liberation War of Slaver's Bay.
"You warned me that empty-handed to see her would make me look like a beggar," said Young Griff sullenly.
“There is no doubt that you are a beggar compared to her, and it is not shameful to understand that. In front of such a cruel character, your father is not much different from a beggar.” Imp smiled.
"My father is True Dragon, and I am True Dragon, and my inheritance is still ahead of her!" Young Griff growled.
"The problem is here, your father is dead, and now you are left with illusory, unrecognized inheritance, but she is the mother of the four dragons, the Queen of Slaver's Bay, the Martial Goddess of the battlefield, The devil of the slave dealers in the whole world, the savior of the suffering slaves, Mhysa."
Imp looked at the Great Pyramid bathed in the golden sunlight in the distance, and sighed: "Look, What a magnificent building, it is only one of her sleeping quarters.
It is said that in Yunkai and Meereen, there is a pyramid with rich interior decoration as the Queen's palace."
"Westeros only It's her hometown, and the Red Keep is her home, our home," stressed Young Griff.
"Never slept there all night, had one breakfast, and only existed in a fantasy home?"
As expected, Tyrion was delighted to see little Prince again The oneself was angry with his mouth, but his face flushed and he was speechless.
Imp can't help but think of Joffrey, who is often maddened by oneself.
I really have the innate talent to anger the Princes!
However, it feels really good, boring sea travel, that's all that's left for fun.
He thought.
I remembered Joffrey, and Imp immediately restrained the smile from the corner of his mouth.
It was very pleasant to see the Princes being provoked and jumping, but the slaps that the Princes slapped were also very painful, not only painful, but also possibly killing oneself.
Less lessons.
So he hurriedly comforted: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with being a beggar. At least, your miserable appearance can arouse the aunt's love and affection, and I will give you a dragon if you don't know."
"I don't want to sell her misery to win her sympathy," Young Griff was even more angry, the blue veins on his neck stood up, "She is my aunt, and she will marry me and become my wife. There are three dragons. I don't need her to give it away, I was originally one of the heads."
Imp patted his forehead and groaned, "Look, look, what did the old Griff say to you!"
At this moment, a small boat with a Green Dragon flag on a black background approached the galleon, sailing parallel to the ship's side, and a customs officer in a white short sleeve with blue stripes stood. At the bow of the ship, holding a copper horn shouted:
"Where is the merchant ship, what kind of cargo is it shipped?"
On the chest of the customs, there is also a Green Dragon, only one The flying Green Dragon is not House Targaryen's three-headed Black Dragon.
The galleon lowered the rope ladder, pulled a customs house and two Unsullied onto the deck, and brought them into the cargo hold below...
Young Griff felt a tinge of unease and doubt in his heart , withdrew his gaze, and forcedly said calmly: "What's the matter, what's wrong?
There are only two Targaryen and her left in the world. According to the custom, we will be the same as the Aegon brothers and sisters, united together, Let's take back Iron Throne together.
And, as Lord Illyrio told me personally, my aunt needs help, she needs me!
She wrote to Illyrio asking about dragons with three heads I also plan to invite Earl Velaryon to become a Dragonrider.
That's why I reject your suggestion to bring troops back to China immediately.
Golden Company has only ten thousand people, and can win at most Stormlands, I want Iron Throne, not Storm's End."
Well, on the way from Rhoyne to Volantis, Tyrion repeatedly encouraged Young Griff to lead the Golden Company to Dorne, and then unite with Dorne's Doran. Uncle, go south to Stormlands, all the way to King's Landing.
Tyrion began to slowly turn black at this time-because he had a Heart Demon for killing his father, he couldn't bear it, and wanted to seek revenge for oneself's elder sister earlier.
According to the original plot, Young Griff was really fooled away—well, Tyrion oneself stayed behind and was captured by Jorah Mormont, who went to a brothel for comfort.
But Dany's butterfly effect is too great.
First of all, she is not as heartless as the original Daenerys. She took three great ships from Illyrio and hundreds of thousands of Golden Dragon cargo on board. I forgot.
Dany immediately asked oneself from Pentos' sea merchants to bring a letter to oneself. While promising to double the compensation for the spice dealer, he also explained the general situation of oneself in Slaver's Bay.
After all, Illyrio is nominally funding your return to the country, and belongs to Dany's investor. She should notify the investor when she changes the project.
Illyrio knows she needs the Dragonrider (Dany is trying on purpose), and also knows that she has no idea of getting Iron Throne back (not Westeros until the next Summer).
Naturally, Illyrio didn't let Golden Company go to Volantis to wait for Dragon Queen (ps), Young Griff couldn't take Golden Company to divert halfway.
There is another reason, this Dany is more able to do than the original Daenerys, it is vigorous, Heaven and Earth resonate - the world Alliance Against the Dragonmother is formed.
Illyrio, Varys, Jon Connington are not stupid, they all know that the most pressing problem of Dragon Queen is to solve the Allied forces.
So, they almost reached a consensus: let Young Griff go to Slaver's Bay to cultivate relationship with aunt and strive to become Dragonrider. Wait for the Dragon Queen to defeat the allies, wait for the dragon to grow up (the three dragons are only two years old, they think the dragons are too young to be big enough), wait for the winter to pass, and then go to conquer Westeros.
They said the same thing that Dany used to tease the guests at the Tourney dinner: defeated the Allies, Dragon Queen as it should be by rights first under the heavens empress, Westeros as easy as pie After the defeat, they did not terrifying, and the two aunts and nephews fled back to Dragonstone on the dragon and went back to the old road of the Aegon brothers and sisters.
In this way, the plot has been completely changed, Young Griff is coming to Slaver's Bay to join Dany aunt!
"S-13 dock, management fee of two Silver Coins a day, Orange Wine rents the dock for a total of 12 days, a total of 24 Silver Coins."
Customs inspector this time Having led the two Unsullied to inspect the cargo hold, he is holding a pen and writing quickly on the paper on the board.
Captain Volantis took 24 Silver Honors from his wallet and handed them to Unsullied. He asked curiously, "I heard from friends that if you buy a certain amount of goods in Astapor, you can get subsidies at the customs when you leave? "
"That's right, you buy 100 Gold Honor goods, and the Queen subsidizes you 10-50 Gold Honor." The inspector of the Green Dragon T-shirt said.
"The Seven is on top, subsidizing 50 Golden Dragons?" The Imp on the side shouted, "How much profit should Astapor merchants make, and how much tax should they pay to Dragon Queen?!"
p>
"Not all goods and all merchants can get half of the subsidy. Astapor's commodity prices are lower than Free City, Queen not only does not receive much tax, but also pays hundreds of thousands of gold coins every month." Inspector said resolutely.
Volantis merchants also nodded to approve, "Astapor's sugar and refined salt are half the price of Volantis, but the color is ten times higher, white as snow, fine as sand, without the slightest odor."

Young Griff came over and asked suspiciously: "What is the Dragon Queen planning?"
"Look," the customs inspector pointed to the people coming, people going, the busy dock, " It used to be hard to see a Hathay on that street, not even a single out-of-town businessman, and no pedestrians for a few days. Now, it's 10,000 times more prosperous.
Even if the United Nations clamored to block Slaver's Bay, In fact, most of the merchants who travel to and from the Summer Sea will come in to buy and sell goods, and by the way, they will replenish dried fruit and freshwater."
Tyrion's footsteps look out, the pier and the block are almost the same as Volantis, the boats are like Bakers on the beach, merchants rub shoulders with passengers.
"I'm also surprised. Hundreds of thousands of Allied troops are sharpening their knives. How many people are there in Astapor." He wondered.
"hmph, Slaver's Bay is the Queen's bath, with dragons soaring in the sky, the Allied fleets dare not even enter the Gulf of Grief." The Customs Inspector said proudly.
The terrain of Slaver's Bay can be seen as a crooked neck bottle gourd, the bottle gourd head is Meereen, the upper body of the bottle gourd is Slaver's Bay, and the Astapor peninsula is stuck on the bottle gourd waist.
Gulf of Grief is the bottle gourd lower body, New Ghis is located on the bottle gourd butt | buttocks, connecting Summer Sea.
The Customs Inspector is a bit bragging. The Dragon Queen has complete control over Slaver's Bay, but the Gulf of Grief is too big for the dragon to patrol.
"But she can't keep subsidizing it, can she?" Tyrion frowned.
"When the Allies are defeated, the world will belong to the Queen, so naturally there will be no need for subsidies."
"Uh..." Imp's ugly face twisted.
This is too right and too cruel, and he has absolutely no way to refute it.
The customs inspector tore down the dock rental bill and handed it over to Volantis Marine, admonishing: "When doing business in Astapor, you must receive invoices and buy and sell goods.
You have a batch in your cabin. Qohor steel essence, after selling it, with the invoice, you can receive a subsidy of 15% of the total amount from the General Administration of Customs."
"Hehehe, Fat Faat really didn't lie to me!" Haishang was overjoyed.
Tyrion looked thoughtful, "Slaver's Bay is short of steel."
"No, Slaver's Bay is not short of iron, only the steel essence of casting weapons." Said the sea merchant with a smile.
The customs inspector glanced at the two of them, neither admitting nor denying it. With a goodbye, he prepared to take the two Unsullied away.
"Wait, Mr. Inspector," a black old man in a Mage robe stretched out his hand to hold the customs office who was about to get off the ship down the rope ladder, and asked with a smile, "I wonder if Dragon Queen is still recruiting Firemage? "
