In fact, Viserys had already known about Pentos's little thoughts.
This is a conspiracy by the governors of Pentos, who hope to use this opportunity to drive a wedge between Braavos and Andalos.
As a buffer zone between Pentos and Braavos, Andalos is growing increasingly powerful and will naturally seek ways to get rid of Braavos' influence.
What Pentos hopes is to instigate Andalus to 'rebel', so that Pentos can seize the opportunity to stay away from Braavos, tear up the Treaty of Shame and become a normalized city-state.
Pentos thought that this would be a hit-and-miss cooperation, but Viserys did not want to be the one who stood out, let alone fall into the trap and die for Pentos.
He just wants to develop quietly, farm with peace of mind, and wait until the time is right before seeking change.
After all, Andalos is a city that grew up with the secret support of Braavos, and Andalos' finances still rely on the help of the Iron Bank, and it still owes several low-interest loans from the Iron Bank.
But even though Viserys already knew about Pentos' little Jiujiu, he still had to make such a trip for the sake of the dragon egg.
After all, these three dragon eggs are too important to him.
But Viserys must also consider that if he gets too close to Pentos, it will inevitably affect his cooperative relationship with Braavos.
Therefore, Viserys proposed to lead the army at that time, which was tantamount to telling Braavos and everyone that he did not trust Pentos.
There is no close connection between the two secretly, they just have to go there for the dragon egg.
…
soon.
Viserys, accompanied by Illyrio, entered the depths of the palace, where the contemporary princes of Pentos and the governors had already arrived.
"This is Prince Pentos from the noble Rodney family."
Illyrio stood beside Viserys and introduced.
The Prince of Pentos was selected from forty noble families and could not refuse the appointment. The last prince who escaped the appointment formed a mercenary group and has not been able to return to his hometown until now.
Viserys raised his head and looked at the highest point of the hall, which was a throne made of ivory and gold, on which sat a man wearing gorgeous clothes and a dull expression.
He is the contemporary prince of Pentos, with the noble Rodney as his surname.
There were three heralds beside him, holding gold scales symbolizing trade, steel swords symbolizing war, and silver whips symbolizing law.
"Dear guest, welcome."
After Illyrio's introduction, Prince Pentos spoke in a dull voice.
Viserys narrowed his eyes slightly, then glanced beside him, but did not speak immediately.
At this moment, the attendant Bessie, who was standing behind the young king, stood up, walked to Viserys, and introduced him loudly.
"This is the king of the Andals, the Rhoynar and the First Men, the legal ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the guardian of the entire territory, the apostle of the Seven Gods, the 'True Dragon' Viserys Targaryen III.
"
Knight Bessie's loud voice echoed repeatedly in the spacious hall.
Viserys looked at the dull-faced Prince of Pentos, then nodded slightly and said.
"Your Majesty."
When Viserys' voice fell, there was silence in the hall. The prince of Pentos was like a piece of wood, looking at his nose, nose, mouth, mouth and heart, as if he had not heard Viserys's voice, and said not a word.
However, there was only silence in the hall for a moment, and then a voice came from the upper right of Viserys, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Welcome to Pentos, King of the Targaryens."
Viserys turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the voice. An old man with gray hair was sitting on the upper right side of the steps of the hall, wearing a golden medal on his chest. The person who spoke was
he.
"This is the Governor from the Green family."
Illyrio once again introduced in a low voice.
Viserys nodded slightly, and at the same time his eyes swept around the surrounding environment. There were several chairs placed in a circle around the steps of the hall, and sitting on each chair was a Pentos.
of the Governor.
Some of them are gray-haired old men, some are middle-aged men with a big belly like Illyrio, and some are even younger.
However, their attire is also different. There is even a middle-aged man with a golden curtain in front of him. Only his legs are exposed and his face cannot be seen clearly. I wonder if he can see outside through the curtain.
world.
"Please take a seat, Your Majesty."
Then the voice of a Governor of Pentos came from the left side of Viserys. This Governor looked a little young, probably only about thirty years old.
Viserys nodded slightly, and then under Illyrio's guidance, he also climbed the stairs to the position above the hall next to Illyrio, and sat down.
After Illyrio arranged for Viserys to sit down, he whispered a few instructions to the servant next to him, and then sat on the chair.
Not too much time has passed.
Two servants carefully carried a heavy box up the stairs, and then placed it in front of Viserys.
Click——
Then the servant opened the box with the key, and the three dragon eggs were neatly placed in the box, with a layer of soft lantern grass as a support.
"This is the dragon egg..."
Viserys' eyes fell on the three dragon eggs in the box, and his fingers clenched slightly involuntarily. Even though Viserys was very good at controlling his emotions, he couldn't help but feel his heartbeat speed up at this time.
Then, the little king stretched out his hand and picked up a dragon egg and looked at it carefully.
When I first touched the dragon egg, it felt cold to the touch. The surface of the eggshell was covered with tiny scales. The light in the hall shone on the dragon egg, giving it a polished sheen.
They have rich textures and colors, and when viewed up close, they look like fine ceramics, enamel, or blown glass. However, the dragon eggs are much heavier than these things, just like a solid stone.
Viserys felt that this huge dragon egg was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.
"His Majesty."
"Since these dragon eggs were acquired by Lord Illyrio, they have been in his hands for so many years without any movement."
At this moment, the old governor who started to speak spoke first again.
"It seems that except for the descendants of true dragons, no one can hatch a dragon."
