The Slaver's Bay area was originally a place with good weather. Hundreds of years ago at the end of Valyria, legend has it that a huge wave of hundreds of meters swept through the Slaver's Bay area. After that, the climate here became abnormal, and there were no longer obvious four seasons.
divided into two seasons: dry season and rainy season.
During the dry season, rivers dry up and plants wither, like the scorching Gobi Desert. However, with the arrival of the rainy season, the entire area will turn into a green world within a few days, and plants and animals will grow wildly during the rainy season.
Witte stayed in Volantis for a while and did not enjoy life. He spent every day reading books and asking people for advice, learning the language and cultural knowledge of the Slaver's Bay area.
This was the first area to be conquered after the rise of the Valyrian Empire in its external expansion. The Gugis Empire was helpless in the face of the hordes of dragons. The remaining forces fled to an island and established the new city of Gith. They were arrogant.
The Valyrian Empire no longer cares about them. After the doomsday catastrophe, various old forces are now resurrected, intersecting with each other here, and the language is complex and changeable.
This place does not belong to the nine major trading city-states. Volantis has long been at odds with several city-states in the west. In the past, it only bought slaves here. After Veidt stabilized the Stepstone Islands, divided the disputed land and withstood the pressure of Myr City alone, Volantis
Only at Witte's request did Lantis begin to infiltrate the intelligence network into Slaver's Bay.
When Werther went to Slaver's Bay, his main purpose was to kill the dragon, his secondary purpose was to kill the remnants of the Targaryen family, and his third purpose was to disintegrate the Golden Company. The prerequisite for all this was to find the other party.
Werther arranged for a team of big slave owners to come over, and he mingled among them, and his new identity was also a big slave owner. There were three men and three women, plus Werther, there were seven people in total, and the others were all slaves, forming a team of hundreds of people.<
/p>
There is a straight Valyrian road between Volantis and Meereen. Due to the doomsday catastrophe, part of the road was destroyed. Along the way, many people who were affected by the poisonous miasma and turned into monsters robbed. Werther was among these
It was no problem, and the group arrived at Meereen City smoothly.
Belicio Stangoni, a pure-blooded Valyrian with platinum hair and purple eyes, in his thirties, is the apparent leader of this caravan. His neck
There is a gold necklace on top and a black dragon-shaped pendant hidden inside his clothes.
A group of seven people got off the carriage, and the slaves unloaded seven sedans from the loaded carriage and tilted the sedans to prepare a few people to sit on them.
"Lord Werther, I will only call you by your first name after entering the city." Bellicio sat on the sedan and said to Werther next to him.
"Well, as long as you don't say my last name." Witte was very uncomfortable sitting on the sedan chair. The couch was very soft and swayed too much. But the slave masters of Volantis liked this style very much, and the strong slaves liked it very much.
I have been specially trained on how to swing rhythmically without throwing people away.
Bellicio looked at Werther, who was stiff and ready to jump out of the sedan at any time: "You are a slave owner now, and you have to ride in a sedan to move around the city, and you still have an expression of enjoyment on your face."
Werther pulled the armrests on both sides and let himself lie back: "This is more uncomfortable than being on the dragon's head!"
"Hehehe"
On the sedan next to them, three girls wearing veils laughed.
The three girls are also Valyrian with silver-gold hair and purple eyes. One is seven years old, and the two are six years old. They come from the three big families of Panimion, Belicio and Visama in Volantis.
Two of them are the daughters of the current consul.
Volantis did not have a tradition of giving daughters to other lords as maids, and the three families did not know who inspired them to let three girls be Werther's maids. Werther did not agree, but the three girls still followed.
, Werther could only reluctantly accept it and let them do some chores for him.
"Let's go into the city. I have to say that the efficiency of the guards in Meereen is very low! The guards at the city gate are responsible for both conducting inspections and collecting taxes. Tyrosh does all of this in the warehouse." Witte commented. Bellicio: "They have been like this for hundreds of years, and they have never changed."
The most obvious building in Meereen is the Great Pyramid, which is about 250 meters high at the top and is unusually majestic. There are also twenty other small pyramids in the city. These are imitations of the pyramids of the Gughis Empire and are used to house living people.
But Werther felt that the pyramid was just a tomb.
The team entered the city, and the surrounding buildings looked like ancient Egypt, with gray-yellow stone buildings, exterior walls painted with various colors of paint, and scattered palm trees.
The one who received Belicio was the Parr family, one of the twenty great lords of Meereen. Their family's pyramid was built with pink and white bricks, and the clothes of everyone in the family were also pink and white.
Entering the pyramid, the patriarch of the Parr family is the commander of the Meereen City Defense Force and is out working. His successor, Oznak Zuo Parr, received Witte and his entourage, and first arranged for them to change into Meereen-specific clothes.
.
It is the dry season now, the sun is scorching, and the residents of Meereen all wear a kind of clothing called Tokar, which comes from the Gith Empire. Wirt and others also follow the local customs.
For men, a long and loose white cloth is wrapped around the body. The two corners of the cloth are tied under the armpits and around the shoulders. They are fastened with gold locks on the chest. Some tassels or other tassels can also be hung.
Decoration, wearing brown leather sandals on her feet. Werther did not want any decorations because of the trouble, only wore a long white cloth hood, and women's clothing added a veil.
Looking at the tight skirt-like clothing and his exposed hairy legs, Werther felt a little uncomfortable. He took small steps in sandals and walked to the banquet hall in the pyramid.
The banquet had less meat and more various fruits. This was the highest standard meal for guests in the hot Meereen. The banquet hall was filled with various decorative blankets, and the floor was also made of thick wool blankets.
, everyone else had already taken their seats, Oznak Zuo Pal saw Werther coming in, stood up and bowed: "Lord Werther!"
"Huh?" Werther stood behind Belicio, but the other party greeted him, and Werther looked at Belicio.
"The Parr family is the closest business partner of our Elephant Party. After the dragon appeared, their family has been looking for opportunities to meet Lord Witte." Bellicio explained.
If you want to ask for yourself, Werther is not polite: "I'll call you Oznak, sit down and talk."
Oznak is a very strong young man with amber skin, brown hair and brown eyes. The family is martial, and many male members of the Parr family hold important military positions in Meereen.
Werther sat on the mat, and three little girls sat beside him, helping to peel the fruit.
"I have admired Mr. Werther for a long time. When I saw him today, he was really heroic!" Werther started to flatter him before he even took a bite.
Werther looked at him: "Oznak, it seems that you know something about me. In fact, I also had a general understanding of Meereen before I came to Meereen. Is your family in any trouble?"
"This." Oznak didn't expect Werther to be so direct. Shouldn't they compliment each other first?
Belicio: "Oznak, Master Werther is a powerful magician. Don't beat around the bush in front of the magician. Just say what you have to say."
"It's like this, Lord Witte, the city of Meereen has always been ruled by twenty great lords. The great lord is the most powerful slave owner. Recently, the Lorak family wants to break this pattern. Hizdahr.
Zor Lorak wants to be King of Meereen!"
Wirth: "You other nineteen great masters don't object?"
"We were opposed to it at the beginning. Korak was originally the most powerful family and had many relatives in other cities. Several great masters had secretly pledged allegiance to him. The most important one was Hizdahr Zuo Lorak.
Rak is married, his wife is called Daenerys Targaryen, and he has two dragons."
Werther touched his chin. Daenerys got married so early and instigated her husband to become the king of Meereen. With her age and experience, she should not have thought of this. It seems that there are many people behind her.
"Then what? You find me and want to use my dragon to deal with those two dragons?"
Oznak: "The giant dragon flies in the sky and can breathe fire. Our heavy crossbow can only be mounted on the city wall, but the giant dragon can fly outside the window of my pyramid. On behalf of the Parr family, I implore Lord Witte to grant
Help."
Werther: "Then what benefits can I get?"
Oznak: "Gold, slaves and beauties."
"Don't I have these?"
Werther shook his head and looked at him with a smile. If he used the Midas touch magic to turn iron into silver and then gold, he might be scared to death.
Oznak stood up and walked to Werther, waving his hand to ask his maids to leave: "In addition to these, there is also the loyalty of the Parr family!"
"Do you have a map at home? Take it out and take a good look at it. I'm on the Stepstone Islands, so far away from Meereen. It's useless for you to be loyal to me." Witte didn't accept the offer. He had not yet been reduced to a high-level mercenary.
The point.
Oznak stood with an embarrassed look on his face. The three little maids peeled the fruit, cut it into small pieces and handed it to Werther.
Belicio also came over and said with a smile: "Oznak, Sir Witte is the Duke of Tyrosh. You can understand him as a city lord of the nine major trading city-states, and the brother of the King of Westeros. Others
The two brothers are also powerful dukes. If you want to ask Lord Witte for help, you must show sincerity."
Oznak had a wry smile on his face: "I can't make the decision yet. I will wait until my father and several uncles come back to discuss it before I can reply to Lord Witte."
"We are guests and you are the host. Even if this matter cannot be negotiated, I will give you some other help. I would like to ask, do Daenerys and her husband live in the city now?" Wirth now
The magic power perception is close to 300 meters. After entering the city, I relaxed my perception and found no magic power fluctuations, nor any trace of the two dragons.
Oznak: "They went to the north two months ago. Some people said that they went to the Dothraki and wanted to unite with the Dothraki to go south to Meereen in order to become the king of Meereen."
Witte picked up a glass of wine and drank: "The slave cities in the south are full of relatives of his family, and the Dothraki are coming from the north. The remaining great masters of yours will not have long."
"Even if a war breaks out, Meereen's city wall is still tall and strong, and we can hold it. But he also has soldiers in the city, not to mention a dragon attacking from the sky." Oznak also sat in front of Werther, picking up a glass of wine and drinking.
.
Werther: "How big are Daenerys's two dragons?"
Oznak thought for a moment: "Dragons grow much faster than livestock. When I saw two dragons two months ago, the black one was as long as two horses from beginning to end, and the white one was not too small.
How much."
If the dragon's body length is calculated, the tail and neck can take up most of it. Even if it grows for two months, the black dragon Drogon will still not be able to ride. He should be able to kill the black dragon with his bare hands with his fists, Witte was thinking in his mind. p>
"Lord Werther?"
Witte came back to his senses: "Do you have any news about the Golden Company?"
Oznak: "The Golden Company? There are many mercenary groups active in Meereen, but I have never seen the Golden Company flying a flag."
The Golden Company has been spreading unfavorable rumors for several years, seemingly out of hatred, but in fact it has a bigger agenda.
The nine major trading city-states all blame Witte's head for any major events. Although some things were indeed done by Witte, such as deceiving the Volantis with Midas gold coins and killing the first Sea King, these are all secrets.
carried out, and the massacre of Tyrosh, under the propaganda of the Golden Company, but accidentally got closer to the truth.
There are also stories about stealing the golden toilet of Lord Tyrosh, the butcher of Na Saxon, hundreds of illegitimate children in Myr, killing children in Norvos, and plundering the Dothraki. These are all nonsense.
But there are victims behind these incidents. Those who have suffered losses always want to find a target for revenge or an outlet. Under the propaganda of the Golden Group, Werther has become this target.
The Golden Company is controlled by Yin Geng Targaryen. Hatred of Veidt means hatred of the Baratheon family. The two groups have the same purpose. Over the past few years, many nobles of the nine major trading city-states have formed a secret alliance. One is against the Baratheon family.
Lathion's organization. The organization's symbol is still a crowned stag, but with a black background and a white head, a dead deer's skull, and the word Seizer is also written on the crown.
Wirth: "Oznak, I'm glad that your family wants to be loyal to me, but you must show sincerity and not treat me as a mercenary. Just help me find information in Meereen City first. The Golden Company
As for the news about Daenerys, I will stay in Meereen for a while, and you can discuss it with your family."
"Lord Witte, please rest assured. Regardless of whether the elders agree or not, our family can still find out some information. From now on, I will be responsible for conveying it."
Oznak saluted Werther.
That night, Werther was blowing the evening breeze on the balcony at the top of the pyramid. Oznak found Werther alone without his attendants.
"Lord Werther, after discussing with my father and uncles, we decided to show Lord Werther our sincerity."
Oznak handed a golden mask in his hand to Witte.
They neither said their allegiance nor revealed an important secret to Werther. It seems that Parr is also a family with great ambitions.
The mask is very strange, with two coiled horns on the head and a special pattern decoration on the forehead.
"We opposed Hizdahr left Lorak's family as king, and privately formed an alliance called the Sons of the Harpy. Except for the original founder, the identities of other people who joined later were kept secret from each other, and each meeting was held
Put on the mask, Lord Werther, you can wear this mask to attend the rally, maybe you can get some good news."
Werther picked up the mask and put it on his face, looking at the Great Pyramid in the distance without speaking.
