Then Illyrio did not hide anything, claiming to tell Viserys everything he knew, and Viserys had no way of distinguishing the truth from falsehood in his words.
but.
There are indeed many things that Ramsay did not include in the information.
After all, no matter how powerful Ramsay is, nothing is as scary as a mole sitting directly in the governor's position.
"Andalus is growing too fast, and the most important thing is the dragon. No one will turn a blind eye to the dragon."
Illyrio sighed and said.
"If it were possible, I don't know how many people would be willing to spend all their wealth to buy a dragon."
When Andalus first rose, Pantos didn't pay much attention to it. There were almost too many such small forces. However, their attitudes gradually began to change.
But at that time, Pentos didn't think about getting rid of this restless neighbor, because they still wanted to use Andalos as a buffer between them and Braavos.
But I never expected that the buffer would grow into a central flower.
But none of this was the overwhelming condition that led most of the governors of Pentos to decide to side with the Iron Throne.
In the end, it is still a dragon.
The dragon is like a huge bait that inspires the inner desires of the governors of Pentos, especially the little dragons who have not grown up.
'No one can turn a blind eye to the dragon.'
'Unless he's a blind man.'
These governors of Pentos all started out as businessmen. Which one of them is not ambitious and ruthless?
When the news of the birth of the dragon came out, they wanted to get it.
Especially since they were so close to the dragon, they could even smell the pungent smell of sulfur when they breathed.
Some people want it, and some people do it for self-preservation.
The existence of dragons means expansion, and Pantos is the next target of the Andalos. This is a consensus that almost everyone can reach. This is just a result of earlier and later.
Therefore, the two combined, some wanted to get the dragon, and some wanted to protect themselves, and they formed the largest radical faction among the governors of Pentos.
However, those who remained calm despite the lobbying of the Iron Throne messenger became the minority.
Illyrio Mopatis is one of them.
During this period, the private secret wars surrounding this matter were staged every day in the city of Pentos. It was difficult for more than a dozen governors to reach a consensus with their own agendas.
It was in this situation that Viserys arrived.
"Such a thing actually happened?"
Viserys nodded.
Although he already knew it well, at this moment he still pretended to know the news for the first time, with a look of sullenness and fear on his handsome and handsome face.
This is in line with the attitude a normal person should show at this time.
Especially for him who is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, he can perform even more flawlessly.
What should a person do if he suddenly encounters betrayal in a foreign country?
Naturally, he turned to the trusted people around him, and Viserys seemed to be trying hard to stay calm, closer to reality.
"Lord Illyrio, what should we do next?"
The wealthy businessman governor also looked a little sad, and finally shook his head and sighed, looking very embarrassed.
"In fact, Your Majesty."
"I have always longed for Targaryen. I once..."
Later, Illyrio told the story of his youth and expressed his ambitions in a subtle way.
He showed off his show against Viserys, hoping to help Viserys obtain the throne of the Seven Kingdoms and sit on the Iron Throne in the future, and in return he hoped to receive a castle, a dukedom, and the position of finance minister of the new dynasty.
Viserys only narrowed his eyes slightly at Illyrio's sudden showdown and pinched it gently with his fingers. He did not rush to agree or object immediately.
Although this is just a blank check right now.
What Viserys heard was another question, one that he had not thought of before.
"Syrah from Lys?"
Viserys asked.
"My Lord Governor, is your second wife a Valyrian?"
I don't know whether it was to establish a relationship with Viserys or for other reasons, but when Illyrio talked about his past just now, he mentioned that he had a bad relationship with the previous Prince of Pentos.
Because he married the cousin of the previous Prince of Pentos, and after the death of his first wife, he married a prostitute named Silas, which angered the then Prince of Pentos.
And the girl who came to Lys had silver-gold hair.
"That's right."
"Sira she does have some Valyrian blood."
Illyrio didn't know why Viserys specifically asked such a question. He was a little confused, but he still nodded and admitted.
"But there are still many people of Valyrian blood in places like Lys and Volantis."
"Is it?"
When Viserys heard Illyrio's words, he breathed a sigh of relief and said casually.
"I thought your wife would be a descendant of Blackfire."
Viserys' casual words caused Illyrio's expression to change slightly, but before he could say anything, Viserys continued.
"But it's not a big deal."
"Red dragons and black dragons are both dragons. Now that Targaryen has even lost the Iron Throne, why are they so clear about it?"
Viserys took a sip of tea and shook his head.
And Illyrio also breathed a sigh of relief. There have been several Blackfire rebellions in Targaryen history.
Although essentially a family, these unofficial Blackfyres have been stubborn about achieving legitimate status, and this stubbornness has lasted for generations.
It has even been passed down from generation to generation, so several Blackfire Wars broke out.
If Silas is recognized by Viserys as a descendant of Blackfire, then this cooperation will be over.
but...
Now it seems that Viserys doesn't care about the red dragon or the black dragon?
Illyrio let out a sigh of relief, but still smiled bitterly and explained.
"Sira was just an ordinary Valyrian who later died of a plague. Of course she cannot be a descendant of Blackfire."
"At that time, she was still pregnant with my child...I was fully confident that it would be a boy."
When talking about the past, Illyrio's face still looked a little sad and sad.
"But he was not born in this world. A terrible plague took away his and his mother's lives."
However, the sad expression did not last long. Illyrio sighed, regained his energy and got back to business.
"It may be too late to leave Pentos now, but things have not yet reached the worst point."
"I will do my best to help His Majesty get out of trouble during the festival celebration in three days."
Illyrio wiped away the faint tears in the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, then patted his chest and promised.
"In that case, please leave it to the Governor."
Viserys also looked very moved and let out a sigh of relief.
