In Witte's opinion, the city of Meereen is a dry area, and he never expected that there would be large tracts of lush orchards in the mountains outside the city.
This may be the planting method left after the rule of the Valyrian Empire. It is also arid. There is only sparse agriculture along the river in Dorne. This kind of dry land cultivation has hardly developed.
Werther was wearing a white toka, a white cloth cap, and carrying a long and large package. He was walking on the road in the countryside with a dozen other gladiators. He was also accompanied by some of Daenerys's husband, Lorak.
Soldiers of the family.
The gladiators were talking and laughing all the way. This time they came to Meereen City, which is relatively famous recently. Seven of them, including Werther, were freemen and nine were slaves. The freemen gladiators all charged high appearance fees.
, the masters of the slave gladiators also received money, and they can live comfortably for a few days.
Death is a small problem for gladiators. In a place like this, the mortality rate of a gladiator is not much different from joining a small mercenary group or becoming a bandit.
"Iron Face, what do you think the level of the Dothraki this time is?" said a gladiator carrying a shield and a spear.
A dark-skinned gladiator interjected: "I killed a Dothraki in the arena. Their scimitars were difficult to deal with with long swords, so I changed to a mace and blew the Dothraki's head off.
,Haha."
They were all quite optimistic, and Witte also answered: "There may be bloodriders or Kaos coming this time, so you'd better be careful."
"This is a bit troublesome." Several gladiators began to think about how to deal with them.
Werther and his party walked around several hills and entered a vineyard. Several people came over on horseback on the dirt road ahead.
"Take the gladiators to the training ground first and let them eat first." A knight gave an order to the soldiers leading the team.
"As you command, Lord Theon."
Theon? Werther, who was wearing a black iron mask, looked at the man on the horse. He was wearing a dark green robe and a hood to prevent wind and sand. His most obvious symbol, the Valyrian steel sword, was buried in the night.
He was hanging on the side of the horse, and Werther really didn't recognize him even if he didn't say his name. Now looking at the clothes under his burqa, you can see the faint octopus logo on his chest through the gap.
"Iron Mask, Buffalo, and White Skull, are these three gladiators here?" Xion asked again.
"Already here."
"I am the Iron Mask." Werther lowered his voice and replied.
"Hahaha, look at my shoulder armor." A gladiator wearing only his left shoulder armor stood over. His shoulder armor was in the shape of a bull's head with horns.
"The White Skull is me." The gladiator who had been chatting with Werther earlier, carrying a shield and a spear, showed Theon the skull pattern painted on his shield.
"You three follow me." After saying this, Sheon rode towards the main building complex of the vineyard, and the three of them quickly trotted to catch up.
The entire valley, along with the creek flowing through it and the land behind the hill, belongs to this wine estate. The main building complex of the manor is very large. The main building is a three-story white stone fortress, and there are four other buildings of the same size next to it.
Houses for free people who worked, slave quarters and soldiers lived in, there were rooms for storing food underground, and most importantly, large cellars for storing large amounts of wine. There was a large square in the middle, plus a circle around these buildings.
A wall is equivalent to a small military fortress.
The three of them followed Theon into the manor unobstructed, and were taken by him to the room where the soldiers lived. Werther's magic perception was turned on, and no magic reaction was found within the range. Daenerys has not come here yet.
"This is the place I have arranged for the three of you. It is better than the places other people live."
Buffalo: "It's indeed good, thank you Lord Xion."
There are only three beds in one room and a large window, which is much better than other soldiers sleeping 8 people in one room.
At this time, Xion closed the door of the room and said to the three people:
"I am responsible for the Meereen side of this fight between Meereen and the Dothraki. You three are currently the most powerful gladiators in Meereen City, and I am very optimistic about you."
"As long as Sir Theon pays enough for the appearance, I can kill the elephant for you!" The white skull smiled, with white teeth.
Before Theon could get to the point, he looked at Werther: "Iron Mask, what do you look like? Can you take off your mask?"
"When I was a child, my face was burned by fire. Anyone who sees my true face, whether they are powerful warriors or those weird wizards, will have nightmares."
Werther applied the hound's experience to himself and continued.
"Moreover, a mysterious gladiator who never reveals his face can arouse people's speculation and discussion, and the appearance fee will be higher!"
"Why didn't I think of it? If I had known it could be like this, I would have made a bull head mask!" The buffalo took off the shoulder armor and pressed it on the face. The size was still very suitable.
After hearing this, Xion smiled: "If you like money, it's easy. I have something for you three to do."
"Sir, please speak."
Xion stopped, listened through the door and listened for a moment when there was no movement outside, and whispered to the three of them: "Your wrestling is going on normally. You decide who should perform and who should kill. But as long as I give the secret signal, when fighting with my opponent,
, just don’t enter the stage where the audience will judge you. You have to kill each other directly during the fight. The secret code is this action of mine."
Theon tilted his head and supported his chin with his right hand. This action is usually done by people when they are bored, and it does not make people feel too deliberate.
"Who are we going to kill? What if we don't meet each other during the duel?" Witte asked.
"You don't have to worry about this, I will arrange it." After Xion finished speaking, he took out three cloth bags that had been prepared from under the bed and handed them to the three of them. Werther opened them, and they were all filled with gold coins, at least fifty.
Xion smiled and said: "This is a deposit. After that, you will be rewarded with 100 gold coins for every person you kill according to my requirements."
"No problem, Lord Theon."
"Deal."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Werther was observing Xion carefully. He was 21 years old this year. He had slightly curly black hair and an unattractive face. His experiences in recent years had made his character mature a lot, and his face no longer looked good.
There is no cynical expression like before.
"Deal! We will act according to your gesture."
Gladiators have long been accustomed to this kind of request to kill each other. The big sponsors will have various games behind their backs. Killing the opponent's potential gladiators during a fight is a better method, legitimate and
Efficient.
Xion handed the three of them another wooden sign: "This is a temporary pass for the manor. You can use the training ground and military camp, but you can't go to other places. Come with me, let's go eat first."
After taking a break after lunch, Werther and the gladiators held weapons and conducted daily training on the training ground. Many soldiers gathered around to watch.
The martial arts skills of gladiators are somewhat different from those of soldiers. Soldiers are all aiming for the enemy's life, and their moves never leave the vital points. Gladiators, on the other hand, deliberately avoid vital points in many of their moves, and by the way, they also add a lot of beautiful flowers to their moves.
It's a good job, because a bloody fight is more attractive to the audience than a dead man lying on the ground, and it can also avoid killing familiar gladiators.
The Bloody Skar Blade is placed in the room, and Witte is practicing with a large pop hammer in his hand.
Weapons are not afraid of being stolen. The entire manor is within the range of perception. Now there are two magic reactions, one is himself and the other is the Bloody Ska Blade. As soon as there is movement, Witte will go in and kill people.
Hum hum winter
Witte picked up the meteor hammer and spun it three times in a row before throwing it to the ground. This thing was very attractive to watch, but it was really difficult to hit people with. Witte walked to the sidelines and prepared to change to a two-handed axe.
While practicing, Witt was also listening to the conversations of those on the sidelines. In the morning, he felt that Xion's character was much more mature, but now Witt has overturned this evaluation.
Daenerys has three dragons, a husband and three dogs. Originally, Werther thought that the three dogs were the enemies' derogatory name for Daenerys' loyal generals. Today, after listening to these people's conversations, I realized that the three dogs were surrounding Daenerys.
Three male dogs in heat!
Yellow Dog: Daario Naharis, the leader of the Stormcrows, heard that the two had slept with Daenerys before she came to Meereen. Now that Daenerys is married to another man, he also
Stay by your side, ready to serve as long as Daenerys's husband is away.
Black Dog: Theon Greyjoy. He was fascinated by Daenerys's beauty. Werther was sure that he asked the three of him to kill the opponents in the gladiatorial battle just to kill the other two.
Words,,,edition.】
Puppy: Quentin Martell came to form an alliance with Daenerys. According to Werther's intelligence summary, Doran originally wanted his daughter Arianne to marry Yin Geng, but Arianne was pregnant with Robb's child.
Mentioning marriage would be an insult to the other party, so he sent his son Quentin Martell to find Daenerys for marriage. When he came, Daenerys was already married, so he stayed with a look on his face.
At this point, it still can’t be called a dog.
The three of them all wanted the position of Daenerys's husband, and wanted to kill the current Hizdahr at any time. However, Hizdahr was too powerful in the Meereen area, and the three of them did not dare to take action, so they talked about it at any time.
Defaming each other and guarding against several others at the same time. Daenerys manipulated the four men flexibly and flexibly, like four ropes tied around the necks of the four men, maintaining the subtlety between the four men.
Balance can also make four men work for her wholeheartedly.
It's almost dinner time, and Daenerys' team has arrived at the manor. Her husband is with the Dothraki, and they have one more day to arrive.
Werther put the ax on his shoulders and looked at the group of knights and carriages entering the manor: where would she keep the two dragons if they were not here?
Daenerys herself also wanted the two dragons to follow her, but the iron cage carriage containing the dragons could not hold horses at all and had to be pulled by people. The vineyards were all mountainous, and they were still slowly moving over the Dothraki plains.
March.
The door of the carriage was opened by two maids from the inside, and Daenerys stood at the door of the carriage.
Witte was also looking at her carefully. Her appearance was much more mature than when he saw her in Braavos a few years ago. Her long platinum hair was blown by the breeze. Her white gauze top only had some red prints to cover her vital parts, which was transparent.
Her snow-white and delicate skin could be seen through her clothes, and Xion quickly ran over.
"Your Majesty Daenerys!" Someone was faster than Theon, a teenage black-haired boy who arrived in front of the carriage first.
"Your Majesty Daenerys!" Theon also ran over.
"Sir Theon, Prince Quentin, hello." Daenerys greeted the two of them with a sweet smile.
Theon and Quentin looked at each other with contempt in their eyes.
Quentin thinks Theon is a rough man, a pirate, without a family background, and a mercenary gangster. If it weren't for the scarcity of talents around Daenerys, who would have gotten Theon here.
Theon thinks that I am the most wanted criminal in Westeros. You Dornish nobles are nothing in my eyes. If I hadn’t looked at Daenerys’ face, I would have killed Quentin with a sword.
Several slaves have moved the ladder to the carriage.
"You two, help me out of the carriage." Daenerys said softly.
Theon and Quentin immediately stood next to the carriage ladder, raising their arms on the left and right to act as handrails for Daenerys. Daenerys smiled, grabbed their arms at the same time, and jumped down with a small jump.
Carriage.
"Be careful!"
"Danger!"
The two men shouted at the same time, trying to reach out to help them. Daenerys let go of the two men and walked towards the manor: "Haha, it's okay. I will ride a dragon and fly into the sky next year. This is nothing. You guys come in together.
, I have prepared gifts for you."
Within a few minutes, Theon and Quentin came out, each with a dried flower hanging on his chest.
Asha, the captain of the personal guard who was following Daenerys, also walked out of the main building and was talking to Theon. Suddenly, she found Werther in the crowd looking at her and Theon. She could only make an embarrassed and awkward look at Werther.
A helpless expression.
Werther shook his head at Asha and motioned for her to step aside.
"What's going on with Theon now?" Werther sat under a pillar in a house.
Asha leaned against the pillar, both of them facing the training field, as if communicating casually.
Asha was helpless: "Theon was fascinated by Daenerys's beauty."
Werther held a straw in his mouth: "Didn't you tell Theon that he would never have a chance to get Daenerys?"
Asha: "I said it, but because Dario, the leader of the Stormcrows, is in front of him, Theon believes that he will also have a chance to enter Daenerys's bedroom."
Werther looked up at Asha: "Fuck! If I ask Theon to kill Daenerys now, will he attack Daenerys or me?"
Asha's heart is beating very fast. If she doesn't answer well, her life may be lost here. No matter how many people are around, she can't save herself: "Lord Werther, I will definitely obey your orders, and so will Theon!"
It sounded nice, but Werther didn't believe it: "Tell Theon the news about my coming here, and I'll wait for him in the small garden behind the military camp tonight!"
"Okay Lord Werther!" Asha's face was expressionless, but her back was actually soaked with sweat.
In the evening, in the small garden behind the military camp, Witte had already set up a silent magic circle here. Theon went to the appointment on time.
His sister said that the Iron Mask was Witte Baratheon, but Theon still couldn't believe it: "Lord Witte?"
"Theon Greyjoy, it's me." Veidt took off the mask.
Xion was trembling a little as he spoke: "I wonder what Lord Werther wants from me?"
Werther turned his back to Theon: "I give you a formal order, tonight you take action and kill Daenerys!"
"Ah!?"
Turning around, Werther raised a hand and clenched his fist in front of Theon: "You kill Daenerys tonight! I will give you a piece of land in the disputed area, which is larger than the entire Iron Islands combined.
land!"
Theon found it hard to breathe.
Werther pointed at Theon's chest with his finger: "Do you still remember our agreement? Your new family emblem is a mermaid, not the previous octopus."
Theon's legs began to tremble.
Wirth: "I have arranged magic here. No matter how loud we make the sound, we can't hear a single sound standing outside the garden."
"Lord Werther! Please let Daenerys go, I beg you! She is just an ordinary little girl. She is not a threat to you. Let her go, Lord Werther!" Theon knelt down and held Werther's feet.
Crying and howling.
Werther looked at him condescendingly: "I'm very disappointed in you! Theon, if you had done it yourself, Daenerys could still have a whole body!"
"Please, let Daenerys go! I'll take her out of Meereen, and I'll take her and continue walking eastward!" Theon was still pleading.
"Look, you are also responsible for him becoming like this!"
Purple light flashed from Werther's hand, and Asha's figure appeared in front of Xion from the darkness.
"Sister?" Xion raised his head and looked at Asha with a confused look on his face.
Asha looked at Theon on the ground and said: "Lord Werther is not interested in killing a girl!"
"Really?" Theon, who was sitting on the ground, let go of Werther's thigh and wiped his nose.
Werther: "I want her two dragons. You just need to help me find where they are hiding. Daenerys can leave them to you."
"I.
"Daenerys was traded like an object, and Theon felt very uncomfortable.
Witte smiled: "Think about it, I can help you eliminate your competitors."
Theon thought for a while: "The Golden Company! Lord Witte, I can provide information about the Golden Company!"
"Where is Yin Geng Targaryen?" Veidt raised his voice.
Theon: "He was in the Dothraki Holy Land before, and when we left, he also took the Golden Company to the west."
"This information is useless. Where can I find it in the vast Dothraki Sea?" Asha also took over.
Witte turned around and turned his back to the two siblings: "Yin Geng must die! The three dragons must die too! As for Daenerys and Theon, as long as you continue to obey my orders, I can save her life. You two
Let’s go back and think about what to do.”
Without saying much, the two quietly went back.
Theon was fascinated by Daenerys's beauty. In order to test Theon's position, Werther deliberately put pressure on him with words today. Now Werther knows that he wants to kill Daenerys because of his position in the Baratheon family.
, in the eyes of Xion and Asha, he has become a bad guy, and it seems that he needs to take some more measures.
