Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 107 Review Plan
"I didn't agree with their plan from the very beginning!" Ian suddenly said 'excitedly', "but I was so soft-spoken that I couldn't convince the two elder brothers."

Illyrio looked at Daeron Grafson upon hearing this.

"Yes, Sir Ian did not participate in our plunder, he only agreed to come to Pentos to join His Majesty's plan." Daeron nodded. After spending time with Ian, his current code of conduct is No matter what Ian said, just cooperate directly.

"Well, you have proved yourself." After a long time, Illyrio finally nodded again, "Please stay here first, and the four knights under your command can also be brought in together. When the time is right, I will naturally send You recommend it to His Majesty."

"Then where is Tarobane?" Ian showed a worried look.

"I'll take care of his affairs, you don't have to worry about it anymore." Illyrio wiped his mouth and stood up, "You don't have to blame yourself for this, because I found out everything, and you never betrayed anyone. people."

"Have a nice evening," Illyrio said, leaving the table.

Ian was still thinking about what Illyrio's last sentence meant, but when he turned around, he saw more than a dozen Yunkai maids with all kinds of charms standing behind the two of them.

Involuntarily covering his waist, Ian patted Darren Grafson on the shoulder: "They are all yours now, I wish you a pleasant night."

With that said, Ian walked out of the banquet hall as if fleeing.

After returning to the room, Ian quickly regained his normalcy.

Half an afternoon of exercising would not really make his current body feel tired, but pretending to be able to give him a good reason to reduce the number of times to take Illyrio's gifts, so as to save him more time to do it. down to business.

And the first thing he has to do right now is to re-examine his plan.

Of course, instead of re-examining the plan to swear allegiance to Viserys, the reward for the second main line is as high as 5000 gold dragons and 20 points.

And judging from the content of Illyrio's school exam, he didn't doubt his identity at all. What he wanted to know were his values ​​and abilities, and he finally passed Illyrio's test.

Then, next, he only needs to wait for being introduced to Viserys, and then he can complete the second main story line.

The part of Ian’s plan that really needs to be re-examined is whether to choose to run away after completing the second main line, or to follow Longma to follow the original line as I thought before.

He had thought he valued Illyrio enough.

After all, although Illyrio did not show much in the original book, his experience as a wandering assassin working with the thief Varys to climb to the position of the most powerful governor in Pentos is enough to make Illyrio En treat with caution.

But after what happened today, Ian found that he seemed to have underestimated Illyrio's intelligence network in Pentos City.

Of course, not only himself, but even a big businessman like Tarobane in the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce underestimated Illyrio's intelligence network—after all, if he could have thought that Illyrio would be able to do so with just an invitation If you can find out about the slave trade, it is impossible to entrust this task to yourself.

According to Ian's original plan, although he maintained a powerless stance in front of Illyrio, secretly he wanted to expand his contacts through Illyrio's chamber of commerce, and then make money by doing business as an agent.

After all, after the main line 12000 is completed, I will hold the principal of more than [-] golden dragons in my hands, and I can't wait two months in Pentos to let the money go moldy.

But the terrifying intelligence ability that Illyrio just showed made Ian unable to help but feel a sense of retreat.

In Pentos, no matter how secretive things are done, there is a risk of being discovered by Illyrio, so things that secretly make money cannot be done.

But if he really allowed himself to pretend to be a grandson for two months without doing anything in Pentos, then he would rather run away with the money after completing the second main storyline.

But what about after running away?
Buy a few ocean-going galleons to run business in Yidi?
This is definitely the fastest way to get money from the system other than resources. It was not a black man back then (why did I emphasize this) 'Sea Snake' Corliss Valerian led 20 large ships to the east and shipped back pepper, Elephant and Silk, 6 ships sank on the way, only 14 returned to Westeros, and most of the elephants died on the journey.

But the Valerian family still relied on the profits from this voyage to become the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms, even the Lannister family with mines and the Hightower family who controlled the largest port on the mainland, "Old Town". We must avoid its edge.

But there are too many restrictions on this matter.

The first is the cost, a large ship that can reach Yidi from Pentos across the Narrow Sea, the Summer Sea, and the Jade Sea.

The cost of one Carrack is about 3.56 ducats, so three of them are about 7.56 ducats. If one ducat is [-] grams and one gold dragon is [-] grams, it is [-]. Ducats are worth about eleven thousand gold dragons.

In other words, if Ian wants to go to Yidi, he can only buy three Pentos ocean-going galleons at most.

As long as the three ships are not sunk, about [-] golden dragons can be harvested in one voyage, and if the ship is sold, the funds will almost quadruple.

The second is the cost of time. It takes at least a year to go back and forth to Yidi, and no one can tell how many variables will happen when there are more than 30 players left in one year.

The third is related to the issue of risk. The sea snake is one of the greatest navigators in the history of the fucking Westeros. He lost more than a quarter of his ships every time he went to Yidi.

A person who knows nothing about sailing, even if he consumes a basic skill optional scroll to learn the sailing skill, and then spends all 6 skill points to upgrade the sailing point to an advanced level, he is still only at the level of an ordinary captain
If he wants to go to Yidi, he can only pin his hopes on the hired captain, but how can it be so easy to find a good captain?
Shaking his head, Ian gave up the plan.

But other business plans are not easy to think about. The profitable business is monopolized. Ian has no experience in business, and he has no background and connections, so it is difficult to find a way.

The next moment, he thought of farming.

There are indeed many unowned lands on the continent of Essos, or places that are said to be owned but in fact no one manages them.

For example, Andalus, the hometown of the Andals, and the upper reaches of the Lorne River, the hometown of the Rhoyna. He only needs to go to the disputed place to recruit a mercenary to occupy a piece of land in those places.
