Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 115 The Situation in Pentos

After calming down his inner excitement, Ian quickly noticed a problem, that is, the difficulty of this task was judged as [medium], but he did almost nothing.

As for the task of avenging the Black Falcon, which was also judged as [Medium], I had to put in a lot of effort to complete it.

To be honest, Ian has never been able to figure out the criteria for judging the difficulty of optional tasks. He tried to ask Annie, but was told that it was a secret.

According to Ian's original idea, the difficulty judgment of optional tasks should be related to the current strength.

After all, if a person has already grown up, it is already effortless to do some tasks that are judged as [easy] or [medium] difficulty at the beginning of the game, such as killing a certain knight or destroying a certain team of mercenaries.

If the judgment of the difficulty of the task has not changed, the player can completely direct and act on his own, and finish the low-level tasks infinitely.

Based on Ian's understanding of Gou's plan, he believes that such a big bug is absolutely impossible.

But the task in front of him makes it difficult for Ian to understand, because it is a task that does not need to be done, no
Looking at the description of this task again, Ian discovered the problem.

The task itself still requires Ian to [Find out the ghost of the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce], which means that this [medium] difficulty judgment is for the matter of catching the ghost.

Assuming that such an insider really exists, considering Ian's current strength, it is indeed normal to judge such a task as [medium].

As for Ian completing the mission directly, it was because he asked Illyrio to add a judgment of completing the mission - no slave ship appeared in the end.

After discovering this, Ian's heart became hot, this wave is about to be released!

Although the concealment of this bug is much higher than that of the difficulty judgment that does not change with the strength, it needs to be discovered under very coincidental circumstances, but its outrageousness is not bad at all!
In the case where the organizer clearly promises not to fix any bugs, I can follow the same routine to plan the "script" and produce corresponding tasks in batches.
However, with the level of that dog's planning, did he really not prepare any countermeasures in advance?Ian thought immediately.

Forget it, find a chance to test it again and you will know.

"Sir Ian?" A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ian's imagination.

"You are?" Looking at the well-dressed old man in front of him, Ian didn't react for a moment.

"My name is Mills, and I am the steward of His Excellency Illyrio. According to His Excellency Illyrio's instructions, I will solve your doubts."

Oh yes, Ian almost forgot the business, and then Ian remembered that although he already knew that the ghost did not exist, he had no evidence to convince Illyrio.

Of course, even if there is evidence, it is impossible for Ian to deal with Illyrio just like this. He still needs to get to know Illyrio's capable men well, and then borrow their strength.

How good it is now, after he doesn't really have to worry about the inner ghost, his next actions can change from carrying private goods to being all private goods.

"Butler Mills, I'm sorry for your inconvenience."

"This is my job." Mills smiled, and he had a good impression of this young man.

"So, where do we start?"

"Here is a list," Butler Mills handed a piece of paper to Ian, "It records the details of the merchants in the Governor's Chamber of Commerce who are expected to return to Pentos before the end of the month and early next month.

Among them, the seven people on the first page need to be focused on. The first two are because they are relatively close to Tarobane, the three to six are members of the identified Braavos Party, and the seventh is From the party of Volantis. "

"The spies that have already been identified, why keep them?" Ian asked immediately.

"Your Excellency is a businessman. His purpose of not getting involved in party disputes is not to offend both sides, but not to offend both sides at the same time. Therefore, these profitable businesses, other governors want to participate, and His Excellency Illyrio usually turns a blind eye. One eye."

Ian nodded.

"So, any other questions?"

"No, the above information is enough." Ian held the list and showed a confident smile.

Just kidding, can he not be confident?
"It's good if you have an idea," Mills also smiled, "Besides, for your investigation, Your Excellency the Governor has specially arranged for you manpower, they are on their way to the Governor's mansion, you can wait for them here .”

"Ok."

"Sir Ian," Mills said Ian's official title again, "maybe you should think again, do you have any other questions?"

Another question?This time, Ian also found something unusual. If Mills was just making a routine inquiry just now, then this time he was obviously reminding himself.

But what else do I need to ask?Ian looked at the list and fell into deep thought. If I didn't know the answer that there is no ghost in advance through the system, what questions do I need to ask before I investigate?
"Mr. Mills," Ian quickly thought of the answer, "could you tell me more about the faction in Pentos?"

"You are better than I thought, Sir Ian," Mills was a little surprised, "you didn't even need me to remind you to get the point." He paused immediately,
"Your Excellency Illyrio asked me to tell you that when you look at a matter, you must observe its essence through the surface. The matter of the ghosts in the chamber of commerce is essentially a part of the party struggle in Pentos. If you lack understanding of the whole matter If you plunge headlong into this muddy water, you may not only return without success, but you may also put yourself in danger."

"I will remember." Ian nodded, with a little more sincerity in his mind.

He could see that Illyrio was really teaching him, and as a modern person whose experience was only at the theoretical level, even though he had read many political works, he could undoubtedly be taught by an old fox like Illyrio. Learn something at school.

"Pantos is roughly divided into three factions at present." Mills did not say any more when he saw this, and began to explain directly, "The first is the trading governor faction headed by Your Excellency Illyrio. We uphold the concept of peaceful trade and hope that Maintain friendly relations with both Braavos and Volantis, against any adventurism."

"There were originally four people on our side. Although they were only a loose alliance, they also controlled the overall voice of Pantos, but..." Millston paused, "But two years ago, Targris on our side The family suffered misfortune, lost seven ocean-going vessels in two years, declared bankruptcy insolvency, and was squeezed out of the Governor's Council."

ps: I'm really busy these days, I spend a lot of time using my mobile phone code, as can be seen from the increasingly unstable update time, .
