In the city of Volantis, Dophas Panymion of the Elephant Party, one of the three giants, has already returned to the palace.
In the study, his staff found many books, all of which contained information about Veidt Baratheon, the Stormlands and the Seven Kingdoms. Not long after, Nesisor Visama, another consul of the Elephant Party, arrived. "Dofas, are you sure that what Werther promised can be done?"
"Nesiso, although you and I have some differences in our views, we are both from the Elephant Party. This time, for the benefit of Volantis, the two of us must first reach an agreement before convincing another consul."<
/p>
"You haven't answered my question yet!"
Dofas pointed to the book on the table and said, "Secretary, tell us whether Werther can do it."
The secretary stepped forward, "Two consuls, according to intelligence analysis, everyone knows that Robert is the king, Stannis controls the royal fleet and serves as Lord of the Sea, Renly serves as Minister of Justice, and Renly's in-laws, the Tyrells, serve as
Minister of Finance, and Witte has changed the 300-year tradition of the Seven Kingdoms and specifically added the position of chief wizard. The four brothers of the Baratheon family are now extremely united, and they now firmly control the power of the country."<
/p>
The two consuls were thinking about how beneficial it would be to send a fleet to hold off Reese's fleet as Werther suggested.
The secretary added, "Witt's personal strength is also supported by various intelligence. Today, only a large-scale cavalry legion can fight with him, against him alone. His twin brother Renly is also a magician, but according to intelligence, his strength is
Probably not as good as Werther."
Dofas looked at Nesissuo, "His personal strength is enough to fight against a cavalry regiment, then he has enough voice in the Seven Nations Parliament, and the conditions he promised should be no problem."
Nesiso "Then can you guarantee that the Seven Kingdoms will not attack us after they take over the Stepstone Islands? The Baratheon family can destroy the last Dragon King family!"
Dofas: "So we only send troops but don't fight. We must keep Lys in the fleet and let them continue to cause trouble for the Seven Kingdoms. We can just conquer the land."
Nesissuo was thinking more about war. Conquering the disputed land in front of him was his goal as a consul. After thinking for a while, he said, "I agree with your point of view. Let's put pressure on the other consul together." p>
Nesisor stood up and raised his hands "For the glory of Volantis!"
Dofas also stood up and raised his hand
"For the glory of Volantis! Lord Nesiso, this is a magic potion made by Witte, called Dali. Find a few more female slaves tonight. Remember, you can only drink one bottle!"
With a smile on his face, Dofas took out two small glass bottles filled with blue liquid and handed them to Neciso mysteriously.
When Nexisuo heard the words "night and slave girl", he immediately understood and thanked her with a smile.
Dofas only told him part of the secret agreement reached between the two parties, that Volantis sent troops to hold Lys back, that the Seven Kingdoms recognized that the disputed land was in Volantis, and that the two sides would form an alliance after the Seven Kingdoms' victory.
He concealed the trade treaty with Witte. Dofas wanted to do business with Witte alone so that he would have enough chips to be re-elected in the next election.
Soon after, Werther arrived in Volantis, and Dofas received Werther very warmly.
Werther finds Dophas Pennymyn of the Elephant Party.
During a luxurious dinner, Werther enjoyed many local specialties.
After finishing the meal and dessert, the slaves cleared the table and the two continued to drink and chat.
Dofas took the wine glass and waved to the guard next to him. The guard bowed and left.
"Lord Veit, have you heard the story of Aerion Targaryen?"
Werther recalls "the prince who drank a can of wildfire and burned himself to death?"
"Hahahaha, that's the one. He joined the Second Sons when he was in exile, and was hired by Lys City to fight against our Volantis, but they lost."
Information about Aerion Targaryen flashed through Witte's mind. This was the second brother of Maester Aemon at Castle Black on the Great Wall. He was a figure during the Blackfire Rebellion. He drank wildfire and was burned to death in 232. He was almost 70 years old.
years.
The Second Sons, Oberon said that he had joined for a year before, but because the Second Sons became more and more notorious, he quit. What does the consul mean by this?
Werther "The last heir of their Targaryen family was beheaded by me not long ago."
As soon as Dofas choked him, the Volantis nobles claimed to be of pure Valyrian blood, and the last male member of the Dragon King family was chopped down by Witte in front of them. When these nobles received the news, they felt very complicated.
The Targaryen Dragon King family is still there, but they are not the most noble. According to blood, they are just subordinates and servants of the Dragon King family. Now that the Dragon King family is dead, they can become the most noble existence, but the source of everything they have
In the Dragon King family.
But that’s all in the past, there is no longer the Dragon King family, so let’s talk about interests.
At this time, the guard who had gone out before came in and wanted to place a wooden box in front of Dofas. Dofas waved to Werther, and the guard took the order, walked over and placed the wooden box in front of Werther.
"This is?"
There was no response from Werther's magic detection. Judging from the size of the box, it should contain a human head.
"Can you open it and take a look?"
"Please."
There was no mechanism on the wooden box. He pulled out the cover and took a look. Inside was an egg the size of a human head, covered with scales.
Werther took out the egg and held it in his hand, looking at Dofas puzzledly.
Dofas smiled and said, "In order to consolidate the relationship between us, this is my gift to King Robert."
Werther "A very valuable gift."
Dofas "Lord Veit made a suit of Valyrian steel armor and weapons for his wife. They are of immeasurable value. How can you value these? The dragon eggs are just a trivial matter."
The scales of the dragon egg were silver-gold, and a white light lit up on Witte's hand. He used intermediate magic of the transformation system to detect life, but the dragon egg showed no reaction.
Witte "This dragon egg is already a fossil."

Dofas: "So it's trivial to say that the dragon egg is valuable. But it has long since lost its life and turned into a fossil. We have tried various methods but can't hatch it. It's a pity to eat it. Now only the dragon egg is left."
It has some commemorative meaning, so I put it in the study as a decoration."
Werther "Thank you very much, Lord Dorfas. Is this dragon egg that belongs to Aerion Targaryen?"
Dofas: "When they were fighting for the Lys people, my great-grandfather led his army into the city of Lys and found it among the trophies. Later, he did not send anyone back to ask for it. At that time, their family could not hatch the dragon.
”
Werther "Thank you very much, Lord Dofas. I am here just for our secret agreement. I will write a letter to my elder brother Robert tonight to implement the matter."
Dofas raised his glass to Werther, "After your country's victory in the war, the glass produced by our family, as well as the silk and spices shipped from the Jade Sea, will be supplied to Lord Werther at the best price."
Witte raised his glass, "These products are all needed by our seven countries. Our seven countries also have sugar, spices, and clocks. They are all good things. Cheers!"
The two of them arrived at the clerk's office together, and Werther wrote on the parchment with lightning fingers. Dofas was also amazed. The document was officially sent to the Red Keep of King's Landing through his channel.
After refusing Dofas' arrangement to stay overnight, he prepared a dozen female slaves, which Werther couldn't stand.
Without staying overnight, after leaving the castle, Werther wandered around the port and found a little bird of Wallis through a special mark.
After reading the messages from the seven countries, Werther wrote a letter with pen and paper and gave it to the child, then threw him a silver coin to buy food and patted his head;
"Send this letter to Governor Maye in Myr."
The child nodded, spread his legs and ran away.
Dophas sent the dragon eggs privately to ensure that Werther could allow Robert to pass the secret agreement, which proved that Werther's proposal was beneficial to Volantis.
Witte thought of this and was ready to increase the pressure on Volantis to ensure that they must send troops.
There are three main forces in the Stepstone Islands: Tyrosh, Lys and Myr.
Originally, the Seven Kingdoms had to deal with three, but now Volantis is sending troops to hold Lys back. With the combined strength of the Seven Kingdoms in this war of conquest, the remaining two city-states will definitely lose.
In the letter, Witte told Governor Maya of Myr a secret. Volantis would soon send troops to occupy the disputed land. The council that asked him to go proposed to reduce the naval dispatch and send infantry and cavalry to confront Volantis in the disputed land.
.
There are forty governors in Mill. Regardless of whether he succeeds or not, the land can be cultivated, and the benefits are far greater than the sea. All they need to do is turn their attention from the sea to the land.
Reese will not let both sides benefit, or one party will be defeated. As long as either party makes movement in the disputed area, Reese will send troops.
Volantis' military strength is the strongest here. Only when both sea and land are threatened will they pay attention and send troops to confront.
Myr, Lys and Volantis cannot allow any one party to become bigger. They must control each other and cannot form an alliance, so that the Seven Kingdoms can act as mediators in the middle.
It has been a week since Werther returned to the excavation camp.
After placing the dragon eggs in the bonfire, Vit went to take a bath. Nymeria and Tyene saw Vit throwing an egg into the fire.
"Witt, what did you throw?"
"Dragon eggs." Werther soaked in a wooden bucket and gave himself a bath, while two female slaves heated the water beside him.
Nymeria picked up the spear "White Crow" placed next to her and poked the dragon egg, making a tinkling sound.
They have all heard rumors about dragon eggs. The dragon has been extinct for more than a hundred years, and the eggs have become fossils and cannot be hatched.
"Dragon egg? Did you buy it? You won't be deceived, right? This is just a stone."
Witte was stunned. He had never thought of this before. It was rumored that dragon eggs had become fossils. What if someone carved a dragon egg-shaped ornament out of stone? How would you tell the difference if they were all made of stone?
"It's a gift from Archon Dofas. I think it's genuine. I'll set it on fire to see if it has any effect. I'll try it with magic tonight. If it doesn't work, I'll split it open to see what's inside. If I can eat it, I'll eat it.
”
Tyene squatted beside the fire with her knees in her arms, found a wooden stick from inside, poked the dragon egg, and turned it over.
