Game of Thrones: The Arrival of the Dragonborn Chapter 223: Wirt’s Arrangement
The next morning, the city of Meereen returned to its former bustle. Some streets and buildings still had signs of being washed, and the water had not yet dried. Anyone who entered the city today would not be able to tell that a scene had happened last night.
Bloody killing.
All the dissidents have been eliminated, and people on the street are even saying hello to each other. The people still alive in the city are all standing on the same front and supporting the great Lord's co-rule.
Six of the twenty small pyramids are vacant. Several great masters have died, and small slave owners are about to take over. Today, prominent figures in Meereen City have gathered in the Great Pyramid to discuss these issues and threats from the outside.
,Witt was invited to participate in the meeting.
The airtight hall was lit by hundreds of candlesticks, and the slave owners sitting in a circle in the middle were having a heated discussion. Werther was sitting on the side of the hall wearing a white Toka robe, crossing his legs and combing his legs with his hands.
Mao, three little maids were waiting beside him with bottles, glasses and fruits, and from time to time they handed Werther a peeled fruit.
Werther does not care which family can fill the position of the great master. He is just here as a witness as the Duke of Tyrosh.
The family to replace the vacated great master has been selected, and the slave owners are arguing over Hizdahr. Hizdahr wants to be the king. The forces supporting him in Meereen have collapsed, but he is in Yunkai and Asth.
Tapo also has relatives who can organize an army to siege Meereen. Daenerys was captured alive by Werther, and the Golden Company will also gather troops.
They are now debating two plans. One is to defend Meereen. The Slaver's Bay area is dry and lacks wood, making it impossible to make large siege equipment. It is no problem to rely on tall city walls to resist dozens of times the army. The other is to take this opportunity to attack Yunkai.
, kill the wise ruler, disintegrate the hostile alliance in advance, and let Yunkai become the great lord to rule together. Both factions have their own sufficient reasons, and no one can convince the other.
When Werther came to Meereen, Oznak Zu Pal was the receptionist. His family currently has the highest prestige among all the great lords. His fathers were arguing. He walked up to Werther alone and picked up a pure gift from the little maid.
Gold goblet.
"Lord Witte, I have sent someone to your room for your expenses as the leader of the Sons of the Harpy."
Witte clinked glasses with him: "Your Parr family is very trustworthy and happy to cooperate with you!"
They wanted to borrow Werther's power, but not in vain. Werther clearly marked the price, and finally negotiated and sold themselves for 50,000 Meereen gold coins.
Meereen City is too far away from Tyrosh. Just counting the straight-line distance, it is about the same as Dorne Sunspear to the Great Wall in the North. The culture, customs, religion and language are incompatible with the continent of Westeros. With the current level of productivity and
Communication means, it is thankless to rule Meereen. For now, it is best to just be an ally and engage in trade.
Oznak took a sip of wine: "Witt, when will you leave Meereen?"
"My subordinates and I will return to Volantis today." The subordinates indeed want to go back, but Witte will stay here for a while.
Sending Daenerys back to King's Landing now is like sending back a time bomb. Her dragon will appear at any time, even if it is a small dragon, but it can fly. There is no one in King's Landing who can deal with it. If you are not careful, you will die.
Many people. Werther also needs to continue to improve the magic circle to study Daenerys' body. In addition, the Golden Company and the Dothraki's revenge on themselves cannot be fought in Volantis.
Oznak: "Then can we hire Lord Witte again and attack Yunkai with our army!"
Werther did not agree immediately, but asked: "How are you sure you can take Yunkai? Or do you want to turn Yunkai into an uninhabited ruins?"
Oznak: "Yunkai's permanent slave army is only five thousand people, and the city walls are not strong. In addition, the sculpture on the top of the pyramid at the highest point of Yunkai City is a harpy. Haha, our people have already
It has penetrated in."
"No, if I leave, can the rest of you keep an eye on Daenerys?" Werther still did not agree.
Werther was thinking in his mind that after Meereen's army arrived in Yunkai, he could just make a gap in the city wall and finish the job, or he could rush into the pyramid and capture the sage. It was very simple. It seemed like a good job. But he wanted to come back.
Lin is not his own force. A unified Slaver's Bay is of no benefit to him. They have to keep each other in check.
Oznak raised his eyebrows: "We can chain Daenerys underground in the Great Pyramid!"
"Then her two dragons can burn the city of Meereen to the ground! When you come back, your home will be gone." Werther took a sip of wine from the wine glass, knowing what he was thinking, and tried every means to keep Werter, the top combat power. "Let's do this. I can help you defend Meereen, so that you can mobilize more troops to attack Yunkai and make a quick victory." Witte was originally going to stay here, but now he can still collect a sum of money.
Oznak: "Please wait a moment, Lord Witte, I will discuss it with the great masters."
"It doesn't matter, it's still early." Witte said calmly. What to discuss with the great masters? Oznak wants to ask the great masters to give money, and he and his family cannot provide the money.
The result of the negotiation came out quickly. Werther signed a contract with the great masters. Werther helped defend the city of Meereen for a deposit of 50,000 gold coins. Every time he participated in a defensive war, he would pay another 100,000 gold coins after victory.
After the meeting, Werther returned to the living area at the top of the tower and found Bellicio.
"You and the three little girls take my 10 gold coins and return to Volantis with the caravan."
Bellicio: "Don't Lord Witte need our help?"
Witte took out a note and gave it to him: "This 100,000 gold coins is my personal money. After you bring it back to Volantis, buy the goods according to the details on the note and transport them to Tyrosh as soon as possible."<
/p>
Bellicio took the note and saw all kinds of strange plant or animal parts written on it: "Is this an alchemical material?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Witte patted him on the shoulder: "Yes, they are all made of powerful materials. Sales have increased dramatically in the past six months. Arrange for your family members to buy them as soon as possible. This can be regarded as a reward for your work during this period."
Belicio: "Then we will set off tonight. After I return to Volantis, the three little girls will immediately arrange for them to take a boat to Tyrosh."
"It's up to you to leave here as soon as possible. The war is inevitable. I want to resolve it in Meereen, and I can't bring the war to Volantis!" The sun shines on Werther from the window, and he looks a little divine.
.
"What about Lord Witte's safety?" Bellicio's expression became serious when he saw this scene.
Witte clenched his right hand into a fist: "I can take the opponent's head among thousands of armies. If I have to leave, no one in this world can keep me!"
Bellicio suddenly raised his hands and shouted loudly: "Master Werther, the magic is boundless! Conquer the islands and control the dragon in the sky!"
Bang!
Werther slapped the table, feeling so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl into the ground. On the surface, he pretended to be angry and said: "Where did you learn this from?"
Bellicio was stunned for a moment, wondering why Witte was angry: "Ah? This is the sacred slogan recently promulgated by Archbishop Andrew Insmond of the Dragon Worship Cult about Lord Witte, the Son of God."
"Hurry back to Volantis and purchase supplies as soon as possible." Witte held his forehead.
"Yes!" Bellicio trotted out.
"Andrew Yinsmond! Wait until I go back and pull out your skin!"
Wet came up with this slogan when he went to Braavos to collect a debt, and now he feels ashamed when he thinks about it. As a result, it reached the ears of Andrew Yinsmond, and he picked it up and used it as the slogan of the Dragon Cult. Meereen
Even Bellicio knows about it, and it must have spread among the Dragon Worshipers everywhere.
"Fuck!"
Depressed Werther walked to the living room.
The Bloody Scar Blade is placed on the weapons rack by the wall, and there is a dummy next to it. Daenerys is playing with the dragonbone armor worn on it.
The hot dragon bone gauntlet seemed to have no warmth in her hands, and she held it and studied it carefully.
"Isn't your nephew Yin Geng the same if he's not afraid of high temperatures?" Werther said to Daenerys while drawing the magic circle.
Daenerys glared at Werther: "Want to get information about my nephew?"
Witte: "Then do you think Yin Geng will come to save you?"
"He will definitely come to save me!"
"That's not necessarily true. After you die, the two dragons will become ownerless dragons. Maybe he will want to sell the dragons or leave them to his own descendants!" Werther's magic circle has been painted.
Daenerys was very angry: "He is not such a person, don't try to sow discord between us!"
"Angry! Yes, that's it!" With a smirk on his face, Werther grabbed Daenerys' neck and lifted her up.
Daenerys struggled in vain in the hands of Werther: "Werther! You devil! Sooner or later, the gods will punish you! You will die without a burial place!"
"No! Your nephew will sell you. Every time he sells you, he will get an army, and your price will be higher and higher!" Very good, be more angry! Werther then used words to stimulate her.
"Wait, Werther! You are so evil, you will be despised by all the people in the Seven Kingdoms when you die!"
Werther put her in the magic circle, and the improved magic circle was activated. Studying the connection between her and the dragon's magic power required her to have strong emotional fluctuations. Last time it was pain, this time Werther tried to make her angry. It was not easy to find a
The research objects, joys, sorrows and joys must be tested one by one.
Her four maids stood aside and dared not say anything. They could only watch Werther, the evil magician, do whatever he wanted.
After the magic was cast, the effect was still not satisfactory. Werther removed the magic circle and allowed Daenerys to regain her freedom. Several maids immediately ran to her to check her body to see if she was harmed.
Daenerys herself knew that Werther had not harmed her, but was only doing magic research on her, but as a Targaryen princess, it was the ultimate insult to her to be manipulated by Werter so casually.
Werther picked up the keel gauntlet that fell on the ground, walked to the dummy and put it on again: "Daenerys, this is just a check, it won't do you any harm, you don't have to yell."
Daenerys pointed at Werther and yelled: "That's my body too. Do you want to check it after asking my opinion and my consent?"
"Eat a piece of fruit!" Werther threw a pear from the table to her.
"What the hell!" Daenerys caught the pear and threw it back at Werther's head.
"Haha, if you don't want to eat, I will." Werther raised his head to catch it and walked out of the room while eating. Now let's calm down her mood and improve the magic circle at night. Daenerys needs to be happy tomorrow.
In the next few days, Daenerys experienced extreme emotional stimulation such as happiness and sadness, but Werther still did not get any clues about the connection between dragons and humans.
After being magnified by magic, the mental torture was more cruel than the physical torture. Daenerys now felt frightened when she saw Werther's face. Missandei wanted to rescue Daenerys from this devil's cave all the time.
, but the four maids were powerless in the heavily guarded pyramid.
Witte sat alone on the top of the pyramid and took out a book from a space that had not been used for a long time to read. The world of The Elder Scrolls is very deep. He only has the broken system of the fifth generation protagonist, and he has to continue to study deeper things. The crow's nest in Meereen will send intelligence from Westeros at any time. It is better to not guarantee the timeliness than to have a blind eye.
Werther's maid has left, and he has no one to serve him, so he has to do it himself.
The three cities of Tyrosh, Lys and Volantis divided up the disputed land. Among them, Tyrosh's border was drawn to the edge of Myr City, and their only freshwater river was also drawn away.
Due to such an insult, the city of Myr did not dare to declare war directly due to the power of the dragon. It could only send troops to build forts along the river, expand the actual occupied area, and sent envoys to Tyrosh many times to protest.
It's just a city-state, and Werther has many ways to deal with them. The letter he is writing to Nymeria now is to make arrangements.
Let Nymeria open a bank anonymously in Tyrosh, issue loans with an annual interest of 50, and let Tyene use special alchemical ink to make parchment certificates. Issue one issue every month, and the interest for each issue increases by 5.
For example, the annual interest rate for the first period of loan issued is 50. If you buy the seventh period six months later, the annual interest rate will reach 80, and it will be even higher after that! Interest
This operation is top secret. Among the officials of Tyrosh, Andrew Insmon, the Chief of Intelligence, and Gunthor Hightower, the Financial Officer, are temporarily involved. This kind of loan is separate for each city, and the city of Myr only issues Myr
People can buy. Chief Intelligence Officer Andrew will also organize his own people in Lys and Volantis to arrange the sale of fake loans in these two cities to confuse the Myrs.
The interest is divided into monthly payments. In the past few months, Witte repeatedly emphasized that payment must be made in real terms. When the people in Mill City could no longer afford to pay for the purchase, they immediately began to delay the interest payment. As long as the delay was two months, Mill City would
Because of internal loan disputes, the city itself will be in chaos. Then they will close the bank, the fake staff will immediately change their identities, and all the money will belong to Werther.
To sum up, strive for half a year to a year to empty out all the property in Mill City! Witte will be a savior descending from the sky to save Mill City's collapsing economy. It is a classic Ponzi scheme. There is no law to control this nowadays.
Things, whoever has the bigger fists has the money is the truth.
After writing the first letter, the second one followed, this time directed at the Golden Group.
The Golden Company is always secretly looking for trouble for itself. After gathering the intelligence now, it has been confirmed that it is the Golden Company and Yin Geng who are behind the command to find the real master, so Witte is not polite.
Let Nymeria issue a wanted order against the Golden Company in the name of Duke Tyrosh. The Golden Company is the most famous mercenary group in the continent of Essos. Except for Yin Geng, who hides his identity, everyone else in the group is trying every possible means.
Improve your reputation. The higher the reputation, the higher the hiring fee for mercenaries. It is easy to find the list of senior leaders of the Golden Company.
From the leader's bounty of 10,000 gold dragons to the blacksmith's general manager's business worth 100 gold dragons, Witte looked at the list next to him and wrote more than a hundred names on the letter. Apart from ordinary soldiers, all the slightly famous members of the Golden Regiment
A bounty was attached.
In the past, wanted criminals from the two continents could run away from each other and evade pursuit. Werther was thinking of the bounty issued by the continent of Essos, and the Golden Company and the Baratheon family were against each other, so they didn't even dare to run to Westeros to escape.<
/p>
The people of the Golden Company were hiding and Werther could not find them for the time being, so he disgusted them. If you want to stabilize the greedy assassins and bounty hunters, you must pay a price that is double or even several times higher than the bounty. And every once in a while
,Witt will also increase the reward amount.
All the text was burned on parchment by Werther with magic lightning. Daenerys and others looked at it with excitement: "Can you teach me magic?"
"What? Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Werther rolled up the letter, grabbed a piece of red wax, and a weak flame ignited in his hand. After the red wax melted, he gently poked it with the seal.
"You have studied my body, so you must give me something in return, right?"
If you ask without losing a piece of meat, what if you agree? That's what Daenerys thinks. If you are caught by Werther and you can't leave, and Werther won't kill you immediately, you have to pay attention to the opportunity to escape at any time, as well as
Create some trouble for Werther.
"Pay attention to your identity, captive lady! No matter in Westeros or here, any part of your body belongs to me, even if I can dispose of your life at will! You have no right to make demands of me!" Werther finished.
, take the letter and prepare to go to the crow's nest.
"I am a Targaryen." Before Daenerys could finish speaking, Wirth, who was walking to the door, stopped, turned back to her and said, "I let you move freely in return! If you make these requests again, I will
Put you in a dungeon."
"You devil!" Daenerys thought of the dark dungeon, and her fear of Werther arose again, and her lips turned white.
Werther still has a lot to do. After taking over the task of defending Meereen, he must do something.
Riding the skeleton Avak along the city wall of Meereen, placed magic traps in various damaged places. They were also placed on the wall near the city gate, especially in the city gate hole. They were all continuous freezing traps. Once
If triggered, they will all explode, and the ice will instantly block the city gate.
All the illusion traps placed on the city walls were illusion traps. Witte thought of using direct killing methods such as fire or lightning, which although powerful could only be used once. However, the illusion traps have been improved and have the effect of simply making people lose their bearings.
It lasts for a long time. This can be fatal on the city wall. The attacking party is climbing up the stairs. When they are about to climb the city wall, they find that the time is upside down or changed left and right. The only thing waiting for him is the defender.
