Since the end of the Tyrosh War, the demand for escorts on the east coast of Westeros and on voyages to the nine major trading city-states has become increasingly high. In recent years, Stannis has been conducting escort missions with the royal fleet for a long time. 呷
The royal fleet is directly under the jurisdiction of the royal family. It is common to wait for several months and half a year to wait for Robert to issue military expenditures. If you do not accept a large number of escort missions and earn enough money to maintain the ships and pay military salaries, most of the military sources will come from
The royal fleet on the Iron Islands had mutinied long ago.
After being injured and retired from the navy, those whose families live in various parts of the continent return home with severance pay. The Ironborn in the Iron Islands are difficult to manage, so it is not a bad idea to follow Stannis in this line of work, which is very suitable for the character of the Ironborn.
The second floor of the store is a small private room, which is enough for four or five people to entertain comfortably. The large private room on the third floor can allow more people to gather together for gambling activities. There is one room here that belongs to Stannisway personally, and his subordinates usually work in it.
Come here in your spare time and it belongs to Stannis.
The group entered the luxurious room, and Werther also saw several acquaintances, who were sorting out accounts on the table.
"Count Davos of the Rainforest, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so energetic!"
The Onion Knight looked up and saw that it was Werther and others, and immediately stood up: "Thank you, Duke Werther, for your concern."
After Davos finished speaking, he still looked at Werther. Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Werther said: "If you have anything to say, tell me."
"There are rumors that Tyrosh is a vampire. Is Arad okay?" Davos hasn't seen his second son for a long time.
Werther: "Your son's Storm Harbor did not suffer any damage, but his originally planned wedding has to be postponed."
Davos nodded after hearing this. Now the "Onion Knight", who has a stable position and a rich family, thinks about his grandson's problems every day.
Davos has seven sons in total. His eldest son, Sir Dale, has been married for many years, but he has not yet had a child with his wife. The second son lived a prosperous life with Witte on the Stepstone Islands. He wrote to him some time ago.
He was preparing to marry a noble blonde girl from the city of Lys. He had already prepared to set sail for the wedding, but something happened to Tyrosh again with the vampire.
Davos, who didn't speak much, began to clean up his books, and Veidt greeted the other two people: "Maester Cressen, Maester Pylos, are you two here too?"
This place is engaged in the gambling industry, and bachelors generally do not come here.
Maester Cressen has served Lord Stannis of Dragonstone for many years. As he gets older, various diseases begin to trouble him, especially the pain in his leg joints that makes it difficult for him to walk. At Stannis's request,
The Citadel asked Maester Pylos to assist Cressen, and took over his duties on the day Maester Cressen was unable to work. 呷
Cressen laughed at Witte with his wrinkled face: "Grand Maester Witte, it is our job as consultants to help Lord Stannis sort out the accounts. If we don't sort out the accounts, it will be a violation of the oath of the city and a dereliction of duty."<
/p>
Werther gave him a thumbs up. Cressen is different from other maesters. He is very flexible in order to better serve Stannis. In the original world, he dared to poison Melisandre!
"Margaery, Ser Loras, you guys need to rest here first. Renly and Werther and I have something to discuss." Stannis finished speaking and opened the small door to the side of the private room without waiting for their consent.<
/p>
"Let's go shopping on the first and second floors." Knowing that the content of the three people's conversation was very important, Margaery took her brother Loras and took the initiative to avoid it.
As long as Margery can think of something that can be done flawlessly, there is no need at all. As soon as Werther entered the room, he turned on the mute magic and tapped his toes on the floor. The purple magic spread from the toes to the floor, turning into a complex
The magic lines disappear afterward.
The interior is still very luxurious. There is no office furniture here, only a few cabinets, a bed for resting and a large sofa for guests.
"Your sweet wine, your golden grapes of the Arbor." Stannis poured two glasses of wine from his wine rack to Werther and Renly. Sip
Werther on the sofa picked up the pure gold wine glass and drank it in one sip: "You actually remember that I love to drink sweet wine!"
"No one drank the sweet wine at Storm's End, and the empty bottles were all in your room." Stannis placed the bottle in front of Werther.
"How is Shireen doing?"
Werther: "In addition to receiving education in the castle, she follows Alia around the city every day."
Stannis thought for a while and looked up at Werther: "Aliya? Duke Ed's youngest daughter. She and Shireen are both 12 years old this year. Is it okay to run around the city?"
Werther put the wine glass on the coffee table: "Don't worry, vampires are an unexpected emergency. Magicians and ordinary people have ways to deal with them. My castle is the safest place. Before leaving, Shireen said she wanted to follow Ya
Shara learns how to kill people with a sword."
Shireen received the most traditional education on Dragonstone. In addition to literacy and learning history, she also learned how to be a virtuous lady. When she was a child, Werther was cured of greyscale, and Shireen grew up healthily without any pain.
, but his personality is too introverted.呷
When she arrived in Tyrosh, it was as if she had discovered a new world. Here there was the majestic female prince of Dorne with a large group of subordinates. There was someone who kept the local ruffians in order and would punch them if she disagreed with them.
Ashara, there is Tyene, the master of alchemy in the magical world, and the beautiful female magician Sansa Stark, who is often not seen in the castle for several days. This has completely opened Shireen's horizons. Shireen is a girl, and her education and life issues are all managed by Nymeria. Werther is only responsible for teaching her knowledge, and he doesn’t know what kind of character Shireen will be taught by Nymeria in the future.
"I hope she lives a happy life." Stannis has no objection to Werther's education method. Countless people who want to send their children to Werther for education or to magic schools are not qualified.
With his daughter secured, Stannis relaxed and rubbed his cheeks with both hands. Werther noticed that he already had a lot of gray hair on his temples. Stannis was only 37 years old, and there was no record of white hair in the Baratheon family.
, his hair was not like this when I met him last year.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Are you having a lot of troubles lately?" Werther raised the topic. The three people present knew what it was, but no one could say anything.
Stannis usually doesn't talk much, but now that the three of them are here, he ponders for a while and sighs before slowly speaking:
"Someone is trying to swallow up my property behind my back. My vassals analyzed that it is because of the king's inheritance rights. Werther, Renly, do you have anything to say?" 呷
Renly was about to speak at the side, but Witte sat up straight and took over the words first: "Let's sort out the things one by one! Someone wants to swallow your property, is it the death compensation in the Dorne War?"
Stannis nodded and spoke more of his favorite words: "There is no other way except Lord Yronwood who must die. They have tampered with those who deserve to die and those who do not deserve to die! Even Werther, you revealed to me
The few people who promised not to die are now nothing but bones. Yronwood's daughter, Trystane, and the Gorgenles family are all dead. These people have a high chance of death, and they could have made a fortune as a result
I lost a lot of money."
Renly: "How many?"
"It was as if they knew the target of the bet would die soon. They bought quickly when the odds were the highest. The target would definitely die before I had time to adjust the odds, and they lost all my five years of profits." When Stannis opened the death bet on both sides of the Dornish civil war, his purpose was to suppress Yronwood's side in public opinion and to allow the nobles of the Reach and Stormlands to watch the show with peace of mind and not send troops to interfere in the war.
Now that someone took advantage of him and lost money, Witte also wanted to help him solve the problem: "When you paid, did you check the identity of the person who took the money?"
"It's no use. They are all bought by itinerant merchants. After checking their background, they are indeed well-known merchants." Stannis sighed. 呷
If someone else buys lottery tickets "legally", you have to pay "legally". This is the foundation of Stannis's business. He can't arrest people for interrogation without reason. Even if he asks, he can't find out the reason.
.
Itinerant merchants are a special group in this society. They do not swear allegiance to any lord and do not have fiefdoms. They travel from town to town with their goods to do business. They can also help people order or deliver goods. They belong to the category of itinerant traders.
In the comprehensive business of passenger transportation and logistics, after making money, you can buy a big house in a certain city or countryside and enjoy life.
Those who dare to do this are bright-minded people. Anyone can pay them to bring goods or do things. Maybe the person who asked them to do things has been silenced by a higher level.
"It's really troublesome. As long as the clues are disconnected, even if Renly and I kill them through magical interrogation, there will be no results." Werther tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table. This kind of finding someone who is behind the scenes will not work.
Werther was very unhappy because he had nowhere to vent his anger.
Since Werther and Renly had magic and dragons, the small conspiracy against the Baratheon family has disappeared, but once it happens, the method is more secretive, making it impossible to find out. If a few people make random guesses and interrogate the "mastermind",
Just fell into the scheme of the person behind it.
Werther: "The war in Dorne involved the two of us. I think the cause of the matter is your inheritance rights of Stannis. Someone does not want you to be the king!"
All three people, including the Seven Kingdoms, have known about this since Robert became ill. Now this is the first time that the topic has been officially discussed between people who have passed the heir. 呷
Hearing Werther's words, Stannis raised his head and stared at Renly with squinted eyes: "Many people are saying that you are the mastermind behind this."
Renly also stared at Stannis without giving up: "Haha, if it is really a good thing that I did, at least your money was defrauded to come to me, and I can provide you with it from other places. As for the throne,
Who cares about that broken iron chair!"
Werther: "Stannis, you are not the king, Renly is the king. When Robert was seriously ill, Renly and I went to Highgarden. If that hadn't happened, I would have suspected Renly, but now my focus is on him.
It’s not here at all!”
I saw the real demon and the horrific scenes like hell, and what the demon didn't show, a whole world full of demons with high-level wizards. Faced with this fear, Renly was still there when he came back from Highgarden.
He had to use illusions to hypnotize himself before he could fall asleep. Thinking about the kingship of Westeros, which was like the leader of ants, Renly really lost interest.
"Where's the Tyrells?" Stannis said again.
Stannis can't analyze this level. Werther: "Look, Stannis, your vassal has now identified the Tyrell family as the biggest suspect. So do I, so does Renly, everyone does it! Duke of Mace
If you don’t have this ability, then do you think that with Mrs. Olenna’s wisdom, she would do such an obviously stupid thing?”
Everyone here has experienced Olenna Redwin's open mouth. If you stay with her for an afternoon, she can scold you until you become autistic without using any curse words. Her wisdom is also recognized, and she does not have the symptoms of senile dementia at present.
The news is out. 呷
Stannis was silent, lowering his head and looking at the wine glass on the table, wondering what he was thinking.
Renly had long known that he was the most suspicious. Seeing that Stannis did not lose his temper again, his anger also subsided: "I discussed it with Werther when we were at Storm's End. When the vampire parade in King's Landing is over, Werther will
Go to Highgarden personally and ask Lady Redwine."
Stannis: "Aren't you going to do it yourself?"
Witte helped Renly explain: "Renly is the husband of Lady Redwine's granddaughter and the son-in-law of Highgarden. He is a head shorter in terms of seniority. If he doesn't handle it well, it will affect the business between the two places. I am different, Tyro
Xixi is engaged in re-export trade and high-tech manufacturing. Without me, they can’t find anyone else, so even if Mrs. Redwin and I break up, the impact will be relatively small.”
Stannis thought about it and nodded.
Renly: "Witt, you need to go to Highgarden to resolve this matter as soon as possible. I feel that Margaery has got some information. If the Tyrell family is not behind it, then we need to solve this mystery as soon as possible. Time is running out."
The longer we stay together, the further the relationship between the two families will grow."
"I know that the matter of vampires is also a big deal. It is related to the life and death of the entire continent." Witte nailed the vampire's limbs with silver nails and locked them in a silver-covered iron cage. They are still in the cabin of the Waverider in the port.
I kept it and didn't take it to the magic school. There were too many children in the school and Werther was afraid something would happen. 呷
Renly: "Give me the plan for the vampire parade, and I will do it. You first take the time to go to Highgarden."
"This is not an investment fair in Tyrosh. How can I have any plans?" Witte smiled bitterly: "I'll probably tell you about the process. Find a car and drag the vampire around every street in King's Landing.
Try to let everyone see what it looks like, and then take it to the Dragon's Cave Hill Square, where the largest number of people can gather. Robert's beheading order is on my ship, just read it before beheading." p>
"Isn't this quite simple? It's similar to the process I used to behead criminals in the Stormlands." After Renly came of age at the age of 16, he personally beheaded many criminals as a duke in the Stormlands.
"And the most important thing, you have to say on the beheading table that vampires can be used as medicine!" Werther took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table. It said what medicinal effects vampire ashes can have, and the content is better than in
Tyene read almost three times more.
Renly picked up the note and looked at it carefully. His expression slowly turned into a pained expression. He handed the note to Stannis and said to Werther: "The vampire is very powerful. I have to watch it to prevent it from jumping over the wall before it dies."
.Your apprentice Jon Snow is the youngest captain of the Capital Guard in the history of the Seven Kingdoms, and this honor of reading into medicine belongs to him!"
After reading the note, Stannis had no expression on his face and said calmly: "Jon, a young man, is more suitable."
The three of them made a plan, and Werther went to Highgarden to interview Redwyne. Stannis asked his men to inquire about information in King's Landing. After Renly organized a vampire parade, Werther waited for Werther to return from Highgarden in a few days before discussing. 呷
After saying this, there was a knock on the small door of the room.
"Come in!" This is the time to knock on the door. There must be something important to report, and Stannis speaks immediately.
Onion Knight Davos, his official position is Chief of Intelligence on Dragonstone.
"My lords, I just received the news that the Hejian Army has gathered in Twin River City, and the army from the Western Region has also left Golden Teeth City and arrived in the River City!"
