About three years ago, Witte destroyed the civilian area of Silt Town in Braavos. After discussion, the nobles came up with a reconstruction plan and prepared to sell the house.
Seeing Witte's majestic and extraordinary temperament, the officials of the Iron Bank generously granted a large loan. But three years later, Witte did not receive a penny, not even a letter.
He didn't let Aldaviying fly directly over the city to show off his power. This is not within the Seven Kingdoms. The dragons of Braavos have never been here during the Valyrian Empire. Coming here means war. The same goes for Veidt.
I only found out after reading the books in Volantis. Besides, Werther is here to collect money this time, not to rob. It is important to protect his reputation.
Aoda Weiying hovered over the huge swamp south of the Pola Buddhist Temple City. Witte jumped from the dragon's head, glided in the air and found a place with a road to land. He summoned the skeleton horse Avak and rode it slowly.
Enter the city.
Arriving at the edge of the city, he transferred to a boat and entered the city. Witte specifically asked the boatman to dock at Silt Town so that he could inspect the project.
It can be confirmed from the brand-new street signs that the name of the rebuilt Silt Town has been changed to Chunhua Town. They are all four-story masonry buildings with red roof tiles and white-painted walls. There is a building under each building.
The small garden is no longer the slums of the past. A large number of wealthy knights in the city and small businessmen from other places have settled here. Several newly built streets are lined with shops and bustling with people. There are businessmen discussing business, soldiers training, and children chasing each other.
Fighting, a bustling scene.
"It's good to have money. My city of Tyrosi will be like this in a few years!"
Werther was about to calculate how much money he would receive, but found that he had no idea!
I walked back to the short bridge where I saw Viserys, holding on to the marble railing and thinking back carefully. It seemed that I had entrusted Prince Oberon to go to the Iron Bank. The Iron Bank gave me a loan, but the money was not taken away but directly handed over to Bo.
The nobles of Lafo Temple built a house.
However, the Iron Bank should have issued a voucher, but I had a conflict with Oberon at the time, and left in anger with Nymeria and Tyene.
"Voucher, where is the voucher?"
Werther jumped up lightly and stood on the railing of the short bridge, raised his right hand and pointed at the sea, trying to recall the events of that year by recreating his actions.
"That's right! Before attacking Tyrosh City, Nymeria said that Oberon gave her the certificate and she put it in Tyene's bear bag!"
It took more than ten days to fly to Braavos. Witte didn't want to make another trip. He turned around and looked at the magnificent Neptune Palace and thought, "I must give money today! In addition, the purple fleet of Braavos is heading south.
Dawei Ying sprayed so much dragon fire and still wanted to pay for it. If he didn’t pay, he would demolish the Neptune Palace!”
There was a group of entertainers beside the short bridge. Werther walked over to find their leader, took out a silver coin and handed it to him
"This is the deposit, follow me into the Neptune Palace!"
Today happened to be a court meeting in the Neptune Palace. The big nobles and businessmen in the city gathered here for a meeting. Neptune was sitting on a chair in the hall doing nothing, holding his head in his hands and drinking from a wine glass. He looked at the people in the hall who were arguing and arguing with his face.
A wry smile appeared on his face.
On both sides of the hall, there are seats for nobles on one side and seats for businessmen on the other. There is a wide aisle in the middle. There are also piles of excited nobles arguing in the aisle. Sea King, who is sitting in the middle of the aisle, looks at the end of the aisle.
I hope that this year’s conference will end soon, and the arranged flower boat is still waiting in Zigang.
Suddenly there was a noise at the door of the hall, and everyone stopped arguing and looked towards the door.
Bang! The door was kicked open, the two doors were opened with great force, and the afternoon slanting sunlight shone in.
A tall man, wearing black leather shoes, black trousers, and a bright red tight-fitting aristocratic robe embroidered with countless stags on his upper body. Behind him were five magic balls of different colors, slowly walking along the
Rotating it clockwise, the black board reflected different colors of red, yellow, purple, blue and white.
The soldiers at the entrance of the Neptune Palace were crowded together. They only dared to touch the hilt of their swords and did not dare to take it out. They did not even dare to stop them. Accompanied by the majestic background music, Werther slowly walked into the hall with steps that he did not recognize.
.
"Chief Magistrate of the Kingdom of Vittus, Honorary Grand Bachelor of the Citadel, Duke of Tyrosh of the Stepstone Islands, Guardian of the Strait, Vit Baratheon of the Baratheon family!"
A high-pitched voice called out the name.
Werther ignored the people in the Neptune Hall hall and walked directly to Neptune.
"It's really him!" This look is so unique that nobles who had seen Werther would recognize it immediately.
"The Red Devil of Braavos!" Someone was impressed.
The nobles who were still standing in the aisle saw Witte, who was at least one head taller than everyone else, walking in, and they all consciously made way for the passage leading to Neptune. Witte stood still in front of the sea, raised his head slightly and looked at the man sitting there.
Neptune on the Throne.
"Master Witte, the magic is boundless! Conquer the islands and control the dragon in the sky!"
The high-pitched voice coupled with the majestic background music shouted the slogan again, and the majestic words shocked everyone present.
"The turtle butcher, the gold thief! The Duke of Ruins of the Second Son Islands!" Some people have never seen Werther, so this is just a hearsay.
"He is also the father of hundreds of illegitimate children in Myr City. Recently I heard that he dug the ancestral graves of many nobles in Pentos!" He said very quietly.
"Are you the King of the Sea?"
Werther looked at the blond man sitting in the middle of the hall of the Neptune Palace. This was the first time he saw him, so he had to confirm his identity first.
"I am the King of the Sea." The young man had begun to tremble and could not speak clearly.
Witte: "It's fine if he's the King of the Sea. Three years ago, I took out a loan to invest in the reconstruction of Silt Town. Today I'm here to collect the money."
The blond Neptune looked stunned, and then began to be afraid, "Master Werther, I~~I really don't know!"
Is he trying to default on his debt? Witte was a little angry, turned around and shouted towards the hall, "Are the people from the Iron Bank here? Come out and prove it!"
"Coming! Coming!"
An official from the Iron Bank quickly ran to Witte and said, "Your Majesty the Sea King, I can prove that Sir Witte did have an investment three years ago."
Neptune was already covered in sweat. He quickly wiped his forehead with his sleeves when no one was paying attention. "It's good if you have it. Your Iron Bank should pay quickly and entertain Sir Witte and his entourage."
Werther "I am only one person, and those people at the door are from the street."
Only then did the people present realize that the group of people playing and singing at the door were not Werther's fans. "Get out! How can you people enter the Neptune Palace!"
The soldiers did not dare to touch Werther, and they had no sense of restraint towards these artists, so they took their arms and dragged them outside.
"Sir! You haven't given me the money after listening to the song! My lord! Give me the money!"
Bang! The door was quickly closed by the soldiers, cutting off the noisy sound.
Witte's expression remained unchanged, "Except for the repayment of principal and interest, how much should the Iron Bank pay me?"
"Lord Witte, please wait a moment."
Today's meeting happened to bring the account books, and several Iron Bank officials rushed to the side to check. The surrounding nobles were silent, and they all sat up straight in their seats, not minding that Witte suddenly appeared and interrupted their discussion.
"Lord Witte, after our calculation, we should pay Lord Witte a profit of 10,000 gold coins."
The same official walked to the center of the hall and said to Witte.
"Taiwan! Do you think I don't understand real estate?"
Werther was very angry, reached out and grabbed his collar, lifted him up, stuck it in his face and shouted
"I demolished such a large area, and the land was free of charge. It was just a pile of broken bricks, and the craftsmen were all from various families. How much did it cost? I dared to build a small garden next to a smelly ditch and call it a garden sea view room! Price
Sell it for multiple times! The people who were deceived by you nobles into buying houses all have a small fortune, and they still built four floors! Do you want me to check the account in person?"
Expert!
Several nobles nearby who were involved in the project saw that Werther was about to take action, so they hurriedly ran over to smooth things over, otherwise no one with Werther's magic would survive.
"Lord Witte, please calm down! The Iron Bank only counts their profits, and our construction side still has a profit that has not been calculated. How much do we have here?"
He felt like he was giving a wink to the nobleman next to him.
Another noble answered, "We still have to pay Lord Witte a profit of 10,000 gold coins."
Werther put down the Iron Treasury official, straightened his wrinkled clothes himself, then turned around and put his arm on the shoulder of a nobleman.
"Is it really a profit of ten thousand gold coins?"
The nobleman, whose shoulders were held by Werther, was sweating coldly. His hands were hanging by his sides, and his fingers kept making hooking motions towards the person next to him.
"There is also another material fee, which can be regarded as the money we and Lord Witte earned together, and there are about 10,000 gold coins."
Ten thousand gold coins is almost enough. Witte thinks this price is more appropriate. No matter how hard he squeezes, he won't be able to squeeze out any more money.
"Okay, you put the money in the box today and transport it to me outside the southern city."
Houses have been built on every inch of land in Braavos. Aldawein is so big that there is no place to land, so it can only be transported to the south outside the city first.
After receiving confirmation from Witte, several nobles and Iron Bank officials hurriedly ran out of the Neptune Palace to prepare gold coins. But the matter here was not over yet, Witte looked at Neptune again
"I still have a debt to settle with Braavos, you! You look quite young, but you should know my past with Braavos. Everyone in the nine major trading city-states knows that the Seven Kingdoms are attacking the Stepstone Islands.
How dare you send the purple fleet to attack?"
The golden retriever on the throne had a grimace on his face, "Lord Werther, it really wasn't me who launched the attack, it was Neptune!"
"Aren't you the King of the Sea?"
The blond Neptune quickly explained, "I just took office less than two months ago. It was the previous Neptune who initiated the attack."
Werther "Your Neptune can change things quickly enough, but what about others? Call him over and I'll ask him what he's thinking."
No one present dared to say anything, and finally the blond Neptune answered the question
"Lord Witte, the former Sea King was sprayed to death by your dragon in the waters northwest of Tyro, and even the body was not found."
"Is it true?" Werther asked those present.
"It's true!"
"The former Sea King was crowned shortly after Lord Werther left. Your father-in-law, Prince Oberon, was also present to witness. During his reign, he listened to slander, appointed villains, and rashly launched a war against the Stepstone Islands. All of us nobles
They are all against it!"
"Yes, yes!"
These guys are just trying to make ends meet! Veidt didn't stop talking nonsense. "I don't care which Sea King he is, he and the Purple Fleet represent Braavos. You are responsible for this war! You launched a war on the Stepstone Islands."
, I sent out the dragon to resist. Do you know how much meat the dragon eats in one meal? Compensation for rashly launching a war!"
Witte pointed at himself. If he loses the war, he will have to pay compensation. Logically speaking, this money should be paid to the seven countries and put into the national treasury. However, Witte plans to keep it for himself. The seven countries of Witte have no ability to ask for it.
The money you get will not be given to anyone!
Neptune is really sweating now, "How much compensation are you going to ask for, Master Werther?"
"A mouthful of dragon flame can melt a fortress. During the battle, my dragon at least sprayed a mouth of dragon flame. Calculated as a mouthful of 10,000 gold coins, I will be compensated 10,000 gold coins!" Lion Wit opened his mouth and shouted that the price was higher.
If they bargain and continue to talk to them, if the other party agrees, then you will make a lot of money.
"Lord Witte, all the money in the Neptune Palace is not that much! It was all spent by the previous Neptune on building warships and recruiting troops!" The blond Neptune cried anxiously, fearing that Witte would go crazy.
Werther stood silent.
"Steward! Palace Steward, come here quickly!" The blond Neptune ran down from the throne and quickly called the Steward of Neptune Palace over to count how much money he could still spend.
Not long after, he called several big nobles together for discussion, and all of them looked unhappy.
Witte still ignored them, and just sped up the rotation speed of the five magic balls behind him. When the magic balls rotate slowly, there is no sound. Once they speed up, for example, the flame balls of the destruction system will make a buzzing sound with the air, changing
The white magic ball will make a slight sizzling sound.
Witte remained expressionless and motionless. Only the sound of the magic ball behind him became louder and louder. Everyone present felt uncomfortable hearing it. They wanted to stop the sound but didn't dare, for fear that the magic would fly out when the sound stopped. The blond Sea King came to Werther again. He was only as tall as Werther's shoulders and looked up at Werther
"Sir, Braavos can only raise ten thousand gold coins!"
Werther "Really only ten thousand?"
Blond Neptune "There are really only so many of them, the animals raised in the Ten Thousand Animals Garden are still worth some money!"
"I always leave a thin line for others. If you lose the war, you have to admit it. Quickly prepare gold coins and give me one of your rarest animals."
It was useless for Witte to bring animals. He took them a strange animal to satisfy Oda Weiying's greed. He wanted tens of thousands of gold coins back, so he had to give it some food and teeth as a sacrifice.
The payment went very smoothly this time. The advantage of gold coins is that they can be circulated everywhere. The gold coins in Braavos are slightly smaller and lighter than gold dragons. If converted into gold dragons, the compensation received this time is only ten thousand gold dragons. Outside the city, the Braavos people packed the gold coins in a box and put them in a big net. Amid their exclamations, Odaweying fell from the sky and ate a snow bear in one bite. He grabbed the net bag with his paws and joined Werther.
