Chapter 868
A long wooden table is placed beside the cucumber vine.
Dragon Queen is on top, dwarf sits opposite Tycho.
The one who owes the money may be the uncle, but if the one who owes money wants to borrow more money, it must be the grandson, so as the Hand of the King of Stannis, Davos voluntarily sits under Tycho.
"Queen Your Majesty, you win, you win this Long Night." The representative of Braavos with slender eyebrows, slender goatee, slender face, and slender body bowed his head down.
"I thought you guys were going to keep playing dead." Tyrion said with a smile.
——You think we don't want to? If you change someone, the Faceless Men have already served. But Dragon Queen pushes the world coalition, duel turns R'hllor into a dog's Cold God, and draws Others King as his grandson. Whether it's military or personal strength, only she can play a role. Which round gets everyone else depends on her. ?
Tycho glared at dwarf and said sternly: "Iron Bank's credit is stronger than Westeros'sacred oath."
"What are you implying? The sacred oath of Westeros has been solid like mud in recent years," Tyrion quirks.
"We are capable of enforcing the contract." Tycho turned to Dragon Queen.
"Then how are you going to fulfill the contract, gold or grain?" Dany asked.
"Queen Your Majesty, this is the situation." Tycho cleared his throat and said euphemistically: "After receiving your grain purchase contract, Iron Bank immediately packaged it to 20 of Nine Free Cities. A major grain merchant.
Now that they can't deliver the goods, we can't provide you with the grain in the contract.
Naturally, we breached the contract and we are willing to pay according to the contract 20 times your compensation.
It's just that those 20 grain merchants can't take out that much gold for the time being, so our Iron Bank's idea is, can we settle the debts of the 20 grain merchants to Iron Bank? Hand over—"
"No way!" Before he could finish, Dany shook his head and refused, "Your Iron Bank family has a big business, nowhere to run, and no way to go bankrupt, if those grain merchants jump into the sea suicide, who am I to cry for?"
"Your Majesty, listen to me," Tycho said embarrassedly with a smile, "In your contract with us, the compensation is only 20 times, and we You have signed 25 times the compensation with 20 grain merchants. If you transfer the debt, you can earn 25% more."
"I'm not interested in Golden Dragon, and the repayment is still left to your oneself to earn Go!" Dany said indifferently.
——If you are not interested in Golden Dragon, it is time to rescind the contract! 50 million Golden Dragon doubled 20 times, 1 billion!
Tycho wanted to complain loudly, but the "truth" that he owes money is not applicable to their Braavos either, Dragon Queen's fist is too hard.
"Can we wait until after Long Night?" he asked.
"oh!" Davos, who had been silent for a while, suddenly sighed.
Iron Bank's sullenness when facing Dragon Queen contrasted with his arrogance when facing him. , makes the old Knight feel very complicated: why is the gap between people so big?
“How much gold do you have at Iron Bank?” Tyrion said curiously.
Tycho glanced at Davos, harboring malicious intentions and said, "How much gold does Lannister store at Casterly Rock?"
Tyrion narrowed his eyes and laughed, "I want to know too, but I am a second son who has no right of inheritance, and is still a dwarf... My father never allowed me to enter the vault at all, he only said that he would give me two thousand Golden Dragons when the family split up.
It's you Braavos, Because there is too much gold, even the former mine can't hold it, so we can only build a bigger treasure house.
I'm afraid 1 billion Golden Dragon is also a trivial thing?"
"I It's just Iron Bank representatives, not even shareholders, who don't know about Iron Bank's gold reserves." Tycho learned dwarf to shirk.
Dany said: "I'm not being rude, 1 billion Golden Dragon is a one-time delivery - it's really embarrassing, you can pay in installments, a little every year.
I don't want either. If the interest is too high, it will be calculated as half of the loan interest you gave to Westeros King."
"How many installments?" Tycho said nervously.
"It's up to your ability to repay."
Dragon Queen is very reasonable, but Tycho is embarrassed.
The number of repayments in each installment is too large, and Iron Bank can't bear it, because Iron Bank's internal pressure is less than one billion Golden Dragon; extending the repayment period will generate high interest, which... ... it would be nice if you could not repay!
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can you use the goods as collateral?"
"Yes, didn't you collect hundreds of Valyrian Steel Swords? Put them in the warehouse completely. It's a waste, it's better to use it all to repay the debt, just so that I can arm a group of 'Dawn Warrior'." Dany said casually.
Tycho probed: "I wonder what price you bought the Valyrian Steel Sword at?"
"The Valyrian Steel Sword on the market is depreciating like crazy recently, right?" Dany said with a smile .
"We wouldn't sell it at the current market price." Tycho shook his head.
He then added: "In fact, Iron Bank is still buying up Valyrian Steel weapons that are depreciating in value.
Even if you melt tens or hundreds of tons of Valyrian Steel Statues, but the total amount of Valyrian Steel in the world is fixed. When all the Valyrian Steel weapons circulating in the market enter the Iron Bank, the price of Valyrian Steel will naturally rise again."
"Too naive, who Whoever has more Valyrian Steel has the right to set the price, as long as the Dragon Queen is willing, she can make any profiteer who stockpiles the stock into the sea suicide." Tyrion said with a sneer.
“Hoarding garlic and medicines may lose money, but hoarding Valyrian Steel will definitely not, as long as you don’t take out loans and play leverage games.
Because Valyrian Steel will not deteriorate for ten thousand years, and unexpectedly It will lead to the loss of Valyrian Steel weapons, such as your Lannister's ancestral sword 'Brightroar'.
As time goes by, the number of Valyrian Steel weapons will always decrease, hoarding for 100,000 years, you see Valyrian Steel rising Appreciation." Tycho self-channel.
“After 100,000 years, the interest for lending a single copper plate has accumulated to hundreds of thousands of Golden Dragons, and Valyrian Steel can still increase hundreds of thousands of times?” dwarf sneered.
"Ai, the reality is that we Iron Bank always have a batch of gold in the vault, and the gold in the vault will not yield a single copper plate of interest after a million years. Buy some absolute hard currency to appreciate in value."
dwarf was speechless.
Dany thought for a while and said, "Just at the market price five years ago, I've packed all of Iron Bank's Valyrian Steel weapons."
Tycho felt a sudden surge in his heart. Filled with joy, he said eagerly: "Are you kidding me? There are more than 700 Valyrian Steel weapons, and even at the 'low price' of 80,000 Golden Dragons per kg, it would cost at least 150 million Golden Dragons! "
Dany shrugged and said indifferently: "The money I picked up for nothing, it doesn't hurt to spend it at all."
Tycho seemed to have been stabbed, and was stabbed in the In my heart, all the previous joy for six weeks, bitterly said: "Besides Valyrian Steel Sword, do you need anything else? For example, Yi Ti silk, Qohor's iron essence, Myr lens, Lys' poison."
"What's the use of those things in Long Night? There's no place to buy them back." Dany shook his head.
Tycho stopped talking.
Of course he knows what the Dragon Queen needs, but they are all short of food and clothes to keep out the cold. How can they sell them?
Dany turned his attention to Onion Knight when he saw his silence, "What about you, what are you doing here?"
"For the upcoming 'King's Landing War' ." Davos glanced at Tycho and explained, "Stannis Your Majesty believes that Long Night endangers the entire world, and it is not the Westeros' responsibility to fight the Others.
For this reason, he hopes to put the 'United Front Against Ghosts' together. Expand the scope to the entire world. At least, let the Free Cities on the other side of the Narrow Sea participate.
The last Winterfell battle, almost gathering the strongest forces of the Seven Kingdoms, still failed. For the foreseeable future, it will inevitably be in King's More intense battles break out under the Landing.
To protect the King's Landing, and to end the Others King completely under the King's Landing, the people of the whole world should unite.
Like Seven Kingdoms warriors aid Winterfell, and the world's major city-states can send Knight and Mage to King's Landing.
Westeros transcendent is weak, but in Essos continent, there are not many Sorcerers and Mage.
According to Priest Melisandre's plan, if 10,000 Mage can form a Mage regiment, they can even confront Cold God head-on.
In this way, we hope to make the battle of King's Landing the last battle against Others, Repel Cold God, kill Others King, and Long Night is over."
Tyrion was stunned, and Dany was stunned.
But the surprises of the two are not the same. Dany is only shocked by the means of 10,000 Mage against True God, while dwarf is shocked because he finds that oneself still underestimates Stannis.
The other party is not an idiot, nor is it a tool person who specializes in helping them take the blame. They have oneself's thoughts and plans.
If you follow Second Stag's script, his Storm's End third line of defense is almost meaningless.
King's Landing is victorious, and there is no need for a third line of defense; if King's Landing, which gathers the power of the entire world, falls, Storm's End will inevitably fall.
Let's not say anything else, Storm's End will not be able to do it if only 10,000 transcendents form a Mage group to resist Cold God.
Only one point, will Second Stag's plan come true?
Would the major city-states be willing to help King's Landing resist Others, can they gather 10,000 Mage?
"A group of 10,000 Mage can fight against Cold God, is that what Melisandre said?" Dany doubted.
"Well, she proposed the plan for the King's Landing war." Davos explained: "She said that King's Land is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, which can breed the King bloodline, and it also has special magic power.
If you set up a magic array in King's Landing that gathers the power of 10,000 Mage, you can use the fire system Forbidden Spell against Cold God."
"Hi Tycho inhaled sharply, muttered: "How scary is the Forbidden Spell against True God? What's the name of the Forbidden Spell?"
"I don't know, and I don't have an intuitive understanding of Forbidden Spell. Red Woman said to me, now I'm going to tell you, that's all." Davos embarrassed.
"Why not oneself?" Dany frowned.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect to meet Lord Tycho here, we are not together. I came to you this time, just to reach a preliminary intention, after all, King's Landing has not been shot down. What!" Davos said with a bitter smile.
After a while, seeing Dragon Queen still thinking, he couldn't help but ask: "What do you think?"
"The idea is very good, but where can I find ten thousand What about Mage? There aren't 10,000 transcendents in the whole world!" Tyrion wondered.
“Cleric is also transcendent.” Dany indifferently said.
"Yes, Melisandre said seven Divine Cleric and Red God priests would do."
"putting it that way, King's Landing really has several points of hope?" dwarf just said After saying a word, he suddenly glanced at the indifferent Dragon Queen, and suddenly stopped again.
He thought of Dragon Queen's relationship with R'hllor.
"What do you think, Lord Tycho?" Dany looked towards the Iron Bank representative.
