Chapter 543
Of course, it's not only the Chinese who are used to giving gifts, but foreigners are also not weak in this regard.
Otherwise, how did Dany spend tens of thousands of Gold Honors in Qarth?
The Wendello, who received 777 gold coins from Dragon Queen but did nothing, is still doing the hardest and most tiring work in the labor camp!
It's just that Imp is the son of Duke, but he has no real power. He was too busy to ask for bribes when he was the acting prime minister of King's Landing.
It's a pity that no one ever gave him a gift when he grew up so big.
At this time, it was the first time in his life that he was passed through the back door. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still a little confused.
Looking left and right, no one noticed the open carriage, and he jerked around the harmonica-sized wooden box with his cuffs.
Playing with his hands, dwarf whispered, "What is this?"
"Emperor's Blessing!" Xaro bowed his head and explained softly in dwarf's ear Said: "Yi Ti God-Emperor Bu Hao invites famous doctors and Mage from all over the world, and spends millions of gold coins to develop and develop a booster, just one, keep it and teach you old man to chat with juvenile madness."
dwarf raised his chin slightly, shrank his hand, and put the box in his pocket, proudly saying, "I don't need it."
"Yes, you don't need it, that's a little bit of a trifle," Xaro said. He smiled knowingly.
"Just, what do you want me to say to Queen?" Dwarf glanced at him, lightly said with a smile.
"Wildfire General, as the saying goes, 'You can't punish the nobles, you can't humiliate the Knights', our rules are the same as those of Westeros.
For nobles and Knights, even if they belong to each other. Different camps should not be so humiliating...
Wendello, dignified Qarth Pureborn, is picking up shit at the manor, which is too unreasonable and too chilling for the world's nobles. The general should help Queen Your Majesty It's the right thing to do." Xaro said with indignation and helplessness.
"Wendello received 777 gold coins from Your Majesty, but only took the money and didn't work. You know this better than me! Can the Queen hate him?" Tyrion said.
"Uh, does Queen remember that little thing a few years ago?" Xaro was stunned and said incredulously.
"Remember!" Tyrion nodded and said.
"This..." Xaro's face changed, and suddenly remembered that oneself had deducted her food after Dragon Queen refused to propose marriage - her favorite peacock tongue had been withdrawn.
He also asked her for the gift he sent.
Seems more hated than Wendello?
No, oneself finally only pays without return, and doesn't take advantage of her, which is different from Wendello.
It must be different, otherwise, why did she give him the golden jacket?
Thinking about this, Xaro was relieved again.
"General, how much do you get paid a month at Slaver's Bay?" Xaro changed the subject.
"I've been fined for half a year, and I haven't gotten much lately," Tyrion said.
"Hey, Queen Your Majesty, this is too much. General, you have made outstanding achievements. It's not right for you to reward yourself. How can you punish your salary!" Xaro shook his head again and again.
"I'm loyal to the Queen's great major event industry, and I don't care about the money."
Tyrion is righteous and stern, like a revolutionary Warrior who is not afraid of sacrifice.
——This guy really deserves to be killed!
Xaro sneered in his heart, and said with a kind face on his face: "Being loyal to the Queen is not contradictory to being rich and rich, and I did not come empty-handed this time. If the general can let me not return empty-handed, I will teach the general. Satisfied."
"How do you satisfy me? Don't look at me as small, it's actually very difficult for me to be satisfied."
Speaking of which, Tyrion couldn't continue. Play stupid, let alone refuse.
It wasn't because he was too laid back that he was arranged by the Queen to receive Xaro.
The Battle of Tolos proves the formidable power of Wildfire ammunition and shows how much a war can consume Wildfire ammunition.
Now Wildfire General rides a dragon to the Maiden of Freedom Isle Strait as a pirate on odd-numbered days, looting Allied supply ships; on even-numbered days, goes to Wildfire Factory to inspect Firemage to smelt Wildfire, and try to find ways to improve production efficiency.
He's too busy to be a diplomat, let alone receive Xaro.
But Dragon Queen needs someone to sing double reed with oneself: let the Allies redeem people without the slightest suspicion.
Doing the math, Slaver's Bay doesn't seem to be a better fit than dwarf.
"Ten thousand gold coins!" Xaro said with a raised finger.
Tyrion's eyes flashed with a veiled greed, but he forced himself to be calm, and said: "If Your Excellency Xaro has one or two friends in the prisoner of war camp, I may be able to help you talk to the Queen. Kind words."
"I have a lot of contacts and friends all over the world." Xaro stretched out a forefinger, and said in a different way: "One hundred thousand gold coins, pack up the captives above Ser. Rescue."
"hehe, one hundred thousand gold coins..." Tyrion's eyes became more greedy, his cheeks twitched a few times, but he still shook his head and said: "Lord Xaro, don't delay the dragon twice in advance. In the war, thirty or forty Wyrmriders were arrested, and the nobles captured in Tolos alone were more than five hundred, but you only paid one hundred thousand..."
"It's too insincere. "
"Are you sure you can convince the Queen to release all the honors?" Xaro said incredulously with wide eyes.
The shock of this time is not disguised.
This dwarf can have so much energy?
He doesn't believe it.
"I ask you, where is the female Royal Family Township?" Imp rolled his eyes and asked back.
"Westeros. But she grew up on the streets of Free Cities, what does that mean?"
"I'll ask you again, is Queen a noble?" dwarf didn't answer, asked again .
"Of course, King is the biggest noble."
"She is from Westeros, familiar with the etiquette among the nobles of Westeros, and herself is a Knight who values glory. Such a Queen, why cannot obey the nobility rules - accept the ransom, give the money to the people?"
Xaro frowned: "What do you want to say? If I can take the money to redeem people in the normal way, why should I..."
Why go through your back door?
Also, the Westeros nobles are not foolish enough to take the ransom before the end of the war - unless the two sides exchange prisoners of war.
Like Xaro and Dany, the war is going on, but they want to redeem their "General" with money, which is almost impossible.
Of course, according to common sense, Dragon Queen can't refuse rudely.
Otherwise, if the Knight on her side was captured by the Allies, would they all be killed immediately?
She agrees, but the Knight under her command is not happy!
Even if you want to devote yourself to the Queen's slave liberation cause, you must be treated as a Knight. Otherwise, what is the taste of this noble?
Aren't nobles supposed to be expert in all circumstances, even if they are prisoners?
So, Xaro is very hopeful to take away a few people with important status and low ability.
Giving Tyrion a gift just to bring the number to ten figures.
He never thought about the good thing of redeeming all the nobles.
But Imp hinted that it seems to be feasible...
"As long as you can get the money - 20,000 for one, 10,000 for me, 10,000 for Queen - to You can redeem as many prisoners as you want." Tyrion believed to himself.
"Twenty thousand? Are you crazy?" Xaro growled: "In Qarth, Daenerys spent a total of more than ten thousand gold coins in order to meet the Royal Family."
"You can wait for the war to end, and according to the market price, a prisoner of a thousand gold coins (about 300 Golden Dragons, which belong to the high-level nobles in Westeros as a ransom)." Tyrion joked.
"I didn't bring so many gold coins this time." Xaro muttered.
"It's how much you have!" Tyrion said indifferently.
Xaro's eyes flashed, and he whispered: "General, I have 5 Top Grade bed slaves, how about 100 nobles?"
"5 bed slaves are worth 100 Noble..." Tyrion's eyes widened and he looked at him with a distorted expression, "You're not kidding?"
"How could you be kidding? They're all amazing people who are proficient in the Way of the Seven Sighs, If you don't believe me, we can turn around and go to the pier and I'll show you." Xaro said resolutely.
Tyrion shook his head and said strangely: "The thousand-year-old noble of the dignified Tolos, the noble pure blood of Valyria, is only worth one-twentieth of a bed slave."
"Uh... ..." Xaro was stunned for a moment, then embarrassedly said: "It can't be calculated like this, otherwise you Westeros Knights may not even be worth one percent of bed slaves.
Yunkai's cheapest Purple Graces It is also worth 100,000 gold coins, most of which are still worthless, a Westeros Knight is almost 300 Gold Honor..."
"This..." Tyrion was also embarrassed.
If there is no special reason, after the "half man" is captured, the ransom is only half of the ordinary Knight, 50Golden Dragon.
Can't even compare the toes of a bed slave?
"You're not bragging, aren't you 100,000 Gold Honor to buy a golden man? A golden man is not worth 100,000 gold coins, you get a golden giant." Dwarf blushed.
"General, go to the Yunkai people to inquire about how top bed slaves are cultivated, and you will naturally understand why they are so expensive."
Tyrion stopped talking.
He doesn't know the exact training costs of top bed slaves, but he's heard similar things from the Red Graces of the Great Sept of Holy Grace.
Yunkai's Wise Masters are not capable of training more than three "Purple Graces" at the same time - Purple Graces are specially trained to serve the Valyria Dragonlord. After the Great Cataclysm, Purple Graces became the top Synonym for bed slave.
Thinking of this, Tyrion was a little moved even though he knew he was acting.
"It's definitely worth the money! If I hadn't been short of money now, I would never have given you my oneself heart." Xaro observed his words and smiled.
"Astapor can't keep slaves, every slave who crosses Maiden of Freedom Strait automatically gets rid of slave status." Tyrion said hard.
"It's not a slave, it's my bodyguard. With your status as a general in Slaver's Bay, a little privilege is nothing, right?" Xaro said.
"Okay, five bed slaves, 50 prisoners." Tyrion reluctantly agreed.
Don't say Wildfire General, even Queen's nephew Aegon, don't even think about keeping slaves in disguised form in Astapor.
However, dwarf was going to find an excuse to agree to Xaro - not directly, because he was afraid of arousing suspicion from the other party.
"Isn't it a hundred?" Xaro said with suppressed anger.
"At this price, do you like to change it?" Tyrion shrugged, looking lazy.
Xaro stared at dwarf for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Change!"
——Sooner or later, you will kill your deformed little devil monkey!
When they arrived at the pyramid, Dragon Queen entertained the old friend with the greatest enthusiasm. Not only did they host a banquet with delicious food and wine, but also presented him a red tasseled hat with bird feathers - wearing a flower plume.
Finally fulfilled Dany's wish at the Qarth Pier that day.
During the banquet, Imp's witty remarks enlivened the atmosphere, overtly and secretly mentioning Westeros' preferential treatment of noble captives, as well as the Dragon Queen flattery - Queen Unparalleled Beneath The Heavens, releasing a Knight is no different from a mercenary, Neither was a threat to her.
