Chapter 312: Going through hardships

Once upon a time, Daenerys hatched a dragon and shocked Volantis greatly.

They have no shortage of legitimate Valyrian noble blood here, so Volantis is buying dragon eggs all over the world, hoping to turn bicycles into motorcycles.

It's just that dragon eggs are not stones from the bad streets, and they are not that easy to acquire.

In the past, Illyrio could purchase three unhatched dragon eggs from ancient times from distant Asshai. That was because the dragons had become extinct at that time, and no one had been able to re-hatch the dragons for nearly a hundred years.

Therefore, dragon eggs gradually came into circulation and could be purchased with money.

Now that dragon eggs can be hatched again, whoever holds a dragon egg in his hand doesn't want to try it himself, just in case he is the chosen one.

Because of this, Volantis's journey to acquire dragon eggs did not go so smoothly, as scammers who were not afraid of death gathered here.

Most of the swindlers with poor craftsmanship were identified and their heads chopped off, but some still missed the mark and ended up buying some gorgeous stones.

Although Volantis's governors are elected once a year, they can be re-elected without limit. Now the old governor of the Tiger Party, Malachor, has become old and should have reached the age of retirement.

However, there are indeed some inaccuracies within the party, and the young people of the Tiger Party are embarrassed to take on important tasks. Therefore, the Tiger Party has spent so much money organizing an expedition this time, just to seize the opportunity to find something to counterattack the Elephant Party.

Ultimately, this is still a partisan dispute.



Wow

The huge warship rode the wind and broke through the roaring waves.

Viserys had just listened to Mia describing the partisanship in Volantis. Generally speaking, Volantis is a system of two-party competition, which seems a bit familiar.

Their goals are to conquer the world, while the Elephant Party hopes to conquer the world through trade, and the Tiger Party hopes to conquer the world through force.

That's all.

The young man with long silver-gold hair is sitting on the deck now, with his hair tied into a braid. He has a long sword in his hand, a dagger, a metal wrist guard and a brown leather armor tied around his waist. Look.

He looks a bit cool, like a lone ranger.

Not long ago, Viserys's attack was amazing, and he defeated his opponent cleanly. A wealthy businessman took a fancy to him and wanted to hire him as a guard.

Several small mercenary groups also offered an olive branch to Viserys, but Viserys did not accept it.

At this moment, he was sitting on the deck holding a wine bottle in his hand. He raised his head and took a sip of the boiled water in it.

Then he raised his head and looked at the gray sky above his head.

"Today is not a good weather for going out to sea..."

The sky is a bit gloomy today, the wind is howling, and the sea has become a lot more violent. There may be a storm coming soon.

"That's right."

The girl with long fiery red hair also looked a little worried. Although she was not an excellent sailor, such bad weather was obviously not suitable for a long voyage.

Some sailors suggested to the commander of this expedition that he was Malachor's chief steward, but the other party refused to return to the port and insisted on continuing to move forward.

Many sailors had no choice but to obey each other's orders and continue sailing towards the sea of ​​smoke.

After that, not too much time passed.

A small storm did come.

The sky over the sea changes at every turn. The sky that was just gray a moment ago becomes overcast with clouds in an instant, and the weak sunlight disappears completely.

The wind was howling, the sea was roaring, and a heavy downpour fell without warning. The heavy raindrops hit the faces of the adventurers and slaves on the deck.

"quick!"

"Tighten the rope!"

The first mate on the ship was shouting to instruct the sailors to control the ship, and the slaves and adventurers on the ship were naturally not idle and stepped forward to help.

Because everyone knows that fire and water are ruthless. Once the boat capsizes here, no one will be able to get back alive.

It's impossible to swim back when the sea is calm, let alone now in a rough sea.

crackling

Raindrops hit the deck and everyone's cheeks crazily, and huge waves hit the hull of the warship. Some unlucky guys were accidentally swept away by the waves and screamed, disappearing on the deck in an instant.

However, at this time, no one had time to think about saving people.

"Where's the bucket?"

"Hurry up!"

"Get a board and block it up!"

Viserys and Mia were also helping. Their clothes were soaked and they looked a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, this storm did not last very long.

I don’t know how much time passed, but just when everyone was exhausted, the raging waves around them finally calmed down.

The pouring rain turned into drizzle, and finally stopped completely.

The dark clouds above my head quietly dissipated without knowing when, and the red glow of the setting sun broke through the haze in the sky and filled the entire silent sea.

The sparkling sea reflected the red glow, and the seagulls flew and chirped crisply.

"Huh~"

"It's finally over."

The red-haired girl lay on the deck exhausted, her chest rising and falling slightly.

Regardless of the fact that the water stains on the deck had not yet been wiped dry, the whole body was already soaked.

Viserys also sat next to her in a somewhat embarrassed manner, but his behavior was a little better than the girl's.

The silver-haired young man looked at the beautiful scenery in the distance, then remained silent and took a sip from the wine bottle again.

Viserys had few friends on this ship. After all, he was a man coming to Volantis for the first time and tried to keep a low profile.

Mia has been around Volantis for a long time and is a well-known figure in the mercenary circle, but she also doesn't have many friends.

"It's okay, Mia."

A tall, bald man with tattoos all over his body came over, followed by several brothers, and said hello to Mia.

"fine."

The red-haired girl sat up and shook her head.

Snapped

Then he raised his hand and gave the other party a high-five.

The big man also nodded, and at the same time glanced warily at Viserys sitting next to her, but did not say hello, then turned and left.

Viserys didn't pay attention. He picked up the wine bottle again and took a sip, then looked at the other person's back.

"His name is Iron Fist Gus."

"A well-known mercenary in Volantis and the leader of the Iron Order."

Mia, who sat up from the deck, slightly smoothed her fiery red hair, and then introduced her.

"You don't have a title yet, Aemon. For a powerful mercenary, title is more important than strength."

"But I think with your strength, if you follow me, you will soon be able to make a famous name in Volantis."

There were still drops of water on the girl's face that had not been wiped clean, but her breasts were slapping loudly, and she even jumped slightly. Her dark eyes were sincere.

The purpose of Mia's friendship with Viserys, whose pseudonym is 'Aemon', is actually very simple.

Her dream is to build a mercenary group of her own.

Afterwards, the remaining days of the voyage were uneventful.

And in the early morning of the last day, the sailor holding a monocular finally saw the gray fog that blocked the sky and the sun.

"The sea of ​​smoke has arrived!"
