Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 114 Optional Task Three
"Back to the original topic," Illyrio would certainly not communicate with Ian about 'Aegon' now, "do you want to find something to do during this time?"

"That's right, is there anything I can do for you?" Ian nodded.

"It's still Tarobane's problem. He mentioned a slave ship, but he doesn't own a ship. This means that there are other insiders in my chamber of commerce."

"You want me to help you find out the ghost?"

"Yes, but Charney Ghost is a job that can easily offend people, and several of my cronies are not suitable for this job
You are different. After all, you have no business in Pentos, and you won't stay here for long. You don't need to look at any merchant's face.

Of course, this is just my suggestion, the choice is yours. "

"You are too far-fetched, Lord Illyrio, your troubles are my troubles," Ian assured, patting his chest, "However, I am not very familiar with Pentos or your chamber of commerce. Some don't know where to start."

"Hahaha, my butler will tell you about the situation later, you can ask him any questions you have," Illyrio was obviously satisfied with Ian's answer,

"In addition... considering your lack of manpower, I will introduce two people to you later. One of them is a mercenary captain who has served me for a long time, and the other is the leader of my little mice.

And the task itself... Maybe you can take it as the first lesson of your political career. "

Fuck?Ian was really surprised now, Illyrio is not only treating himself as a confidant, but also training him as a son?

But if you think about it, 'Ian Hewen' is a young man with a clean background, no relatives, extraordinary talents and such a good way, any big boss who meets him will want to adopt him as a godson.

This time I can make a lot of money!If he can borrow Illyrio's military strength and intelligence resources, then this city of Pentos will become his home ground.

As long as I find a way to get some private goods in the process of investigating the ghost, will the remaining players hiding in Pentos still have a way out?

"I will never let you down." Ian replied immediately.Hey, wait, why didn't the optional mission come out?

By the way, because there is no 'reward', the condition for the optional task to spawn is that 'the aborigines formally ask the player for help, and the 'reward' is clearly defined.

"Your Excellency, I have another unfeeling request... We came to Pentos almost as a fugitive this time, so I am a little short of funds now." Ian thought for a while and said.

"That's right, there are a lot of things that are difficult to do without money." Illyrio acknowledged the reason, "Like this, you can directly withdraw 200 gold dragons from the steward for the activity expenses later.

If there are special circumstances during the investigation, you can apply to the steward for more funds, as long as the reason can convince the steward, there is no upper limit on the amount. "

"Then," activity expenses are not compensation!Ian roared in his heart, but a flattering smile appeared on his face, "After I find out the ghost, can I get the rest of the activity funds?"

"Hahahaha," Illyrio burst out laughing, and he was indeed a young man. "Of course, including your extra application, it will belong to you after you find the ghost."

Ding!The next moment, the optional task popped up.

[Discovery trigger task: The inner ghost of the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce

Mission description: Illyrio suspects that there is an insider involved in the slave trade in his chamber of commerce, and I hope you can help him catch it out

Mission reward: the remaining part of the activity expenses for your participation in this mission
Additional reward: unknown]

【Accept (consume 1 point)】【Reject】

Ian subconsciously wanted to click to accept, but at this moment, a thought flashed through his mind—what if there is no ghost?

The inner ghost and the slave ship were only mentioned by Tarobane from the beginning to the end, and Tarobane's purpose was to induce himself to kill the 'Broken Spear' to frame Illyrio for participating in the slave trade .

Regardless of whether the slave ship exists or not, it doesn't seem to affect Tarobane's plan!
Thinking of this, Ian moved the pointer of mental power away from [Accept].

He has already been fooled once, if the optional task he accepted was not [Find the Treasure of the Black Flame] but [Find out the truth of the Treasure of the Black Flame] or [Eliminate the ghost of the White Wall City], he It will not lose the reward of a task in vain.

"Your Excellency Illyrio, I suddenly thought of a possibility. Is it possible that this ghost does not exist at all?" Ian directly put forward his own guess.

"Does the inner ghost not exist? It seems that there is a possibility, but we can't hope that the inner ghost does not exist, right?"

"Of course, I mean, if the ghost doesn't exist, how can I get my reward?"

"Like this, if your investigation concludes that the ghost does not exist, as long as there are no slave ships in my chamber of commerce before the end of the end of the end of this month, the Braavos party will be considered as completing the task."

The task interface in the system changed immediately.

[Discovery trigger task: The inner ghost of the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce

Mission description: Illyrio suspects that there is an insider in his chamber of commerce involved in the slave trade, and I hope you can help him catch it, or make sure that no slave ship in his chamber of commerce appears in the port of Pentos before the end of the month.

Mission reward: the remaining part of the activity expenses for your participation in this mission
Additional reward: unknown]

【Accept (consume 1 point)】【Reject】

This time, Ian directly clicked [Accept].

"Then I have no problem." Ian smiled.

"Go to the front hall and wait, my butler will come to you soon." Illyrio nodded, and ended the breakfast that should have ended long ago.

After coming to the front hall, Ian sat on a chair and logged into the system again.

He originally wanted to browse through the tasks after being accepted, but unexpectedly, he saw such an email as soon as he came.

[Complete the optional task [-] 'The Inner Ghost of the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce'

Task Difficulty Rating: Moderate

Task reward: After Illyrio accepts the results, you will get all the remaining activity funds

Additional rewards: 3 points, 3 attribute points]

The updated card is:

Attribute Points: 3

Fortunately, I kept an eye out!Ian quickly patted his chest.

I didn't expect that slave ship really didn't exist!That's why the system judged that the task was completed the moment he received it.

Ian didn't dare to think about how many detours he would have to take if he didn't have a flash of inspiration in the end to let Illyrio change the standard for completing the task.
