The slave owners in Meereen lived a comfortable and boring life, so they found ways to have a lot of fun.
In addition to singing and dancing taverns, people's favorite entertainment item is watching gladiator fights. There are also various arenas of various sizes in the city, and different events are performed every day, including battles between people and fights between people and ferocious beasts. The largest one
The arena is larger than the tourney in King's Landing and can meet the needs of a team arena.
In a certain Colosseum, the venue was bustling with people. Four slaves were fighting a Heraka with simple weapons in their hands.
Heraka is a large white lion that lives in the Dothraki Sea, and its name is Dothraki. Being able to capture a white lion is a highest honor among the Dothraki people, and the captured warriors have a high status in the tribe.
If you are tall or relatively young, you can sell lions to Slaver's Bay in exchange for some wealth. Dothraki with high status usually kill them directly and skin them to make clothes or blankets.
Every roar of a lion, roar and scream of a slave can make the audience in the stands excited.
In a certain room inside the Colosseum, a dozen people wearing masks of the Sons of the Harpy were gathering in secret, and Witte was also wearing a mask and standing behind the crowd.
They all wear the same gold mask, their faces cannot be seen clearly, and their names are not revealed to each other. Werther can only distinguish them by their costumes.
Blue Button: "It has been two months since Daenerys took her two dragons to the Dothraki Sea. She will come back in two months at the latest. What should we do then?"
Green clothes: "My opinion is to send assassins to assassinate her directly when she enters the city."
Blue Button: "Her husband's Lorak family is not easy to deal with. There are at least 500 personal guards and Unsullied people following him. How many assassins are needed to break through and assassinate? It is no different from a head-on conflict."
Green Clothes: "Assassination requires not only swords, bows and arrows, poison can also achieve the effect."
Blue Button: "It is too risky to assassinate Daenerys directly. Failure will mean that Meereen City will enter a state of war. I think we can start by assassinating important people around her."
"I agree."
"Not bad."
The people around him have not yet made up their minds to officially start a war with the Lorak family. They dare not touch the members of this family and only dare to attack others first. Witte feels that their matter will probably not be successful.
Green clothes: "I wonder if you have an assassination list?"
A man in a white robe stepped forward: "Theon Greyjoy and Asha Greyjoy, these two are Daenerys' right-hand men. They must die. I can arrange their assassination." p>
The voice was a female one, and Werther recognized her as Asha herself. Unexpectedly, she had already infiltrated the Sons of the Harpy organization. It seemed that the two siblings had not forgotten their missions.
Asha Greyjoy in white clothes has been practicing martial arts for a long time. Even if she is wearing white robes, it can be seen from her arms that she is very strong, and the muscles on her forearms are not inferior to those of ordinary male knights.
When you propose to kill yourself, you can completely control how to kill and how to fail, and you can also avoid being assassinated by others. Asha has a very clear mind.
"Agree." The people around agreed.
Asha in white clothes continued: "Dario Naharis, the leader of the Stormcrows, must also die. He and Theon are like two dogs surrounding Daenerys."
Green clothes: "This person is not easy to deal with. We can start with his subordinates. I will be responsible for it."
Someone else suggested: "The intelligence officer of the Golden Company, Ransono Marr, must also die. He provided a lot of intelligence."
"I disagree. The people of the Golden Company have not publicly announced that they belong to Daenerys or the Lorak family. They are just employees. We cannot make enemies everywhere." Asha in white clothes clearly objected.
She is an important minister next to Daenerys, and she is very aware of the power of the Golden Company, which is far more than just the first mercenary group on the surface.
As for this newly established son of the Harpy, he provoked the Golden Company without killing Daenerys. Meereen City could not stop the Golden Company's revenge. Instead, it just allowed Daenerys or the Lorak family to take advantage of it.
Potentially ascendant.
"Then we can assassinate Daenerys' Unsullied officers. Without the officers, the Unsullied's combat strength will be greatly reduced."
"Agree."
"And those families who support them in becoming king will also be assassinated!"
It was a newly established secret organization that could not be said to be very powerful, but there was one thing that Witte recognized about them, that is, the meeting was very brief, and the participants immediately dispersed after talking about the matter.
After passing through several corridors inside the Colosseum, Asha had just put away her mask and hid it in her clothes when a hand grabbed her neck from behind.
Exposed!
As soon as Asha raised her leg, she quickly pulled out the dagger hidden on her thigh with her right hand, stabbed it behind her with her backhand, and pressed down with her body, trying to break free from the grip of her palm.
She waved her hand back and forth without piercing anything. The palm of her hand was like an iron pincer. No matter how hard Asha struggled, she couldn't move at all. Then she grabbed Asha's neck and lifted her body up.
Just as Asha was about to kick the opponent's crotch backwards, she was put down. She quickly turned around and saw that the opponent was also a tall man wearing a mask of the Son of the Harpy.
"What do you want to do?" Asha took two steps back. The opponent was too strong and her life was in danger at any time. However, she was let go, so she asked about the situation first, holding the dagger tightly in her hand and hiding it behind her back. p>
"You did a good job." After saying this, Werther took off the golden mask and looked at Asha with a smile.
"Lord Werther?" The last time we met was before the Tyrosh War. Asha looked at Werther's face and was a little afraid to confirm.
"It's me." A yellow light lit up on Werther's hand, and a healing spell was released on Asha, healing her usual hidden wounds.
Now that it was confirmed, Asha knelt down on one knee to Werther. "It's really Lord Werther. Why did you come to Meereen?"
Werther took Asha's arm and helped her up: "Get up and talk. Tell me about the recent situation between you and Xion."
Asha stood up and looked around: "There are so many people coming and going here, it's not convenient to talk."
Werther smiled: "Don't worry, I'm here, no one can hear what we say."
Werther spoke, and Asha felt relieved. A magician was here, and she no longer worried about her identity being exposed:
"Lord Werther must have received the letter we sent in Volantis, and then Theon and I came to Meereen."
Asha begins to tell the story of what has happened since her Theon arrived.
After the Tyroshi War, Volantis and the Seven Kingdoms established an alliance. The two found members of the Golden Company and said they were worried about being arrested by Volantis officials. Under the introduction of the leader of the Golden Company, the two escaped
Arrive at Meereen City and make contact with the Stormcrows.
Theon and Asha stayed in the Stormcrows for a period of time as temporary employees, taking on some small tasks in Meereen City to make a living. This was an inspection period for the two of them. After that, the Stormcrows leader Darri
O. Naharis introduced the two to Daenerys.
Through people in the Golden Company, Daenerys already knew all the details about the two most famous fugitives in the Seven Kingdoms. After a warm reception, they talked about their attitude towards the Baratheon family, and Asha and Theon found out.
The archipelago rebelled, and he spoke out about his father's beheading by Robert, gaining Daenerys's trust.
Asha serves as one of Daenerys' personal guards, and Theon is appointed as a squad leader, commanding a dozen soldiers.
Now, except for the people from the Golden Company, there are not many people around Daenerys who can use it. After that, the two completed some small tasks. Asha's single martial arts skills are not as good as many male warriors, but as a woman, she is very capable.
He was quickly promoted to captain of the guard, and the others had no objections. Theon also became Daenerys' naval commander, although there were only two large ships.
It was concise and to the point, but Veidt found some doubts in it and asked Asha: "Do you have a grudge against Dario Naharis, the leader of the Stormcrows? Take the initiative to put him on the list?"
"Uh.
"Asha was hesitating, not expecting Werther to discover this: "It's a small matter, I slept with Daario, but now he is around Daenerys every day, and I just want to castrate him."
"You have to decide this matter yourself." Love? The way Werther looked at Asha, he didn't look like someone who would be addicted to love. It must have been Dario who angered Asha with his words. This kid is unlucky.
.
Werther then asked: "How is Theon?"
Asha: "Theon followed Daenerys to Vaes Dothraki, the City of the Horselords, and Daenerys was preparing to form an alliance with one or more Dothraki tribes."
Witte thought for a moment, and he seemed to have killed Jumoccao's people: "The Dothraki are divided into many tribes, but once they unite, they will be a very big trouble. The cavalry is not productive. No matter where they go, they bring only
Plunder and ruins. Do you know the names of some khals?"
Asha: "I'm not sure. People from the Golden Company have been in contact. After the intelligence officer Lansono Marr of the Golden Company came to Meereen, Daenerys led his people north, and the two dragons followed him.
”
Werther: "Then why didn't you, the captain of the personal guard, go with you, and why did Theon go instead?"
"Just because I am the captain of her personal guard, Daenerys asked me to stay in Meereen to contact some families who support her husband on her behalf." Then Asha told Werther the names of several families. p>
Witte nodded repeatedly after hearing this. The strength of these families may be large or small, but their combined strength far exceeds the strength of the opposition.
Asha: "How many people did Master Werther bring here this time? Do you need help from Theon and me next?"
"I am enough. You and Theon can continue to stay with Daenerys and do whatever you want. Just give me the news. But you need to pay more attention to some people in the Golden Group, especially Xiao Ge.
Riffin."
Asha recalled: "Little Griffin? He has a high prestige in the Golden Company. I heard that he is being trained as the next leader?"
Witte said to Asha very calmly: "Now the king and the ministers of the Royal Council have confirmed that little Griffin is Rhaegar's son, Yin Geng Targaryen, and his sister Rhaenys Targaryen is also still alive.
Alive. He is Daenerys’ nephew, but he is three years older than Daenerys.”
"Is the execution of Rhaenys by Lord Werther false?" Asha stayed behind in Meereen and only knew this news.
Wirth: "I just found a Dornish criminal to hang. It seems like you don't know how Daenerys and the others would react. Let's stop here today. I live in the pyramid of the Parr family. I found
I'm very easy."
"Then I'll go back first."
Asha resigned. She was very glad that she passed Werther's cross-examination, because there were many things about Theon that she did not dare to tell Werther.
Daenerys Targaryen, people who are jealous of her say privately that she has three dragons, a husband and three dogs, and Theon is one of them.
The Dothraki Sea is not a real sea, but an endless grassland with an area almost half the size of Westeros. It is occupied by more than twenty Dothraki tribes. It is the only large gathering place on the vast grassland.
It is Vaes Dothraki, which is regarded as a holy place by the Dothraki people and is also known as the "City of the Horse King".
Looking for someone in a place like this is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Werther could only wait for more accurate information in Meereen City. When he was bored, he found Belicio Pal, made himself a black iron mask, and made up a random one.
I entered the arena with my identity and killed people in the arena every day to pass the time.
Fighting with wild beasts is also an area of interest for Werther. Werther has been active in the south of Westeros since he was a child. These places have been well developed by humans, resulting in the extinction of ferocious beasts. Wild boars can be regarded as ferocious beasts.
Fighting with ferocious beasts is undoubtedly a good pastime. Their attack methods are completely different from humans, and each animal is also different.
For example, the two male lions fighting with Werther today have sharp canine teeth that can bite through a person's neck, and strong and well-developed front legs with sharp claws. They can open several deep holes even if they are slapped by a lion without wearing armor.
A large wound in the bone.
"Iron face! Iron face!"
The audience shouted the code name like a tsunami. Werther only wore a skirt and a pair of sandals, with his legs and upper body exposed.
Werther raised his hands in the air in response to the audience's shouts. His tall and strong body made the women in the stands shout louder than the men.
A male lion rushed from behind Werther. Werther quickly ducked sideways as if he had eyes on his back, picked up a short dagger from the ground, and began to confront the lion.
Werther is now focusing on his own body, suppressing his magic power and other abilities to a minimum. If not suppressed, with the animal's keen sense of natural enemies, Werther can scare the lion to the ground with just one look.
"Iron Face!"
The lion pounced again, and Werther turned sideways again, and stabbed the lion's neck three times with the dagger in his hand. When the two sides faced off again, the lion's body began to shake, and it fell to the ground within a few moments, with a stream of fluid flowing out from under its neck.
Hot blood in Datan.
There is also a male lion, which is relatively timid. After seeing his brother lion being killed, he lost the desire to attack. He even lost the courage to look at Witte and circled around the field trying to escape. p>
"I also wanted to perform a sliding tackle for the audience, but I have no chance."
As a free citizen, the audience has no right to know the life and death of Werther and the other party, but satisfying the audience's requirements can bring higher fame and earn more money. Werther is purely to pass the time
, threw the dagger to the ground, ignored the shouts of the audience, and walked out of the Colosseum.
After pouring a bucket of cold water on his body and wiping his body with a towel, before taking off his mask, Witte packed his things and prepared to return to the pyramid.
At this time, several women with black hair found Werther.
"Iron Mask, 10 gold coins, my master invites you to a wrestling match at a winery outside the city."
"Not interested!" Werther refused directly.
After several duels, Tie Mian's clean and neat killing methods aroused the interest of many slave owners. Many people analyzed that Tie Mian's martial arts were extremely powerful and wanted to invite Tie Mian to serve as a guard in their homes. There were also female slave owners who wanted to buy
Anyone who went back to help them sleep was severely rejected by Werther.
"Ironface, you are one of the strongest gladiators in Meereen City now. This time you are fighting the Dothraki. If you win, you will get a lot of money and the highest honor of Meereen City."
Dothraki? Witte turned and looked at several women. They were in their teens. Their clothes were made of high-quality materials and they looked like locals. Only the one who spoke was a bit special.
She is the youngest among the five women, only about 10 years old, but she is the center of the crowd. She has a flat round face, dark complexion, and a pair of golden eyes. This kind of appearance is what Werther is like.
First time meeting.
"Fighting the Dothraki? Are they coming to Meereen?" Werther followed her words.
Little girl: "If you agree to fight on behalf of Meereen, my master will give you twenty gold coins, and the bonus after victory will be yours."
Werther: "Who is your master? If it's a family that doesn't keep its word, I won't go."
Little girl: "Theon Greyjoy!"
Fuck! I’m going to become his subordinate?
On the one hand, Werther knew that Daenerys's team was back, but they did not enter the city because they were with the Dothraki, and on the other hand, he wanted to know what Theon wanted to do.
"Only twenty? Fifty gold coins, my appearance fee is worth this price!" Witte felt that he should not be so cheap.
"Deal. Tiemian, go to the gate of Beicheng tomorrow. Our people will wait for you there." The little girl spoke very quickly, but every word was very clear.
Watching them leave, Werther felt that it was impossible for things to happen to him by such a coincidence. It must have been arranged by Asha. Only she knew that she was in the arena under the alias Iron Mask.
I don’t want to think too much. I’ll rest first when I go back. I also wrap the giant sword Bloody Skar’s Blade in cloth. If I encounter two dragons, I’ll be ready to kill them.
