Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 127 White Sand Arena

"Find it out so quickly?" Black Falcon Dorian asked in surprise, looking at Bronn who came back so soon.

"Sir Lucian's order is only to investigate the address of the arena where Ender Poole is, and the evaluation of his strength and status by the ordinary mercenaries in the arena. It won't take long." Bronn still will Ian is called Lucian, and like other mercenaries, he doesn't know Ian's current identity.

"That's all?" Dorian asked suspiciously. He didn't read Ian's letter because it was written to Bronn on the envelope.

"That's all, Sir Lucian doesn't want anyone to know we're investigating Ender Poole, and in this city he's worried about our secrecy.
So I just casually asked the mercenaries around me a few words while I was pretending to be recruited as Suda Tetrus' acting warrior. As he spoke, Bronn looked around, "By the way, how do we report the news to Sir Lucian?" "

"He sent the letter with a raven," replied Dorian.

"We don't have any bloody crows, and if we do, we don't know where he is!" Bronn spat.

"That's not a problem, because just now." Dorian said while pointing to the black raven on the window sill, "It came to fetch it by itself."

"Ah" Bronn was stunned, "Can crows be trained to this level?
"Don't ask me, I'm not a bachelor."

"I don't care if you are a bachelor or not. The question now is, can you write?"

"Of course, it took me a long time to learn it specifically."

After leaving 'Black Falcon' Dorian's residence, Ian Raven went back to Illyrio's mansion first, and asked Rohr to take down Bronn's reply letter and throw it into the stove.

He didn't need to read the letter again, because he had heard what he needed from Bronn while he waited for Dorian to write.

The player named Sir Ender Poole is now in an arena called 'White Sands' on Liberty Street in the lower city.

It was one of the few remaining secret arenas in the city after Pentos lost to Braavos 91 years ago, and became the property of the 'slave trader' Governor Cecito Morne three years ago.

It had been briefly closed during the enslavement campaign in Pentos in the previous months.

However, after Suda Tetrus and Prince Hazan officially declared war, Governor Cecito lent the arena to Suda, allowing him to recruit acting warriors here.

And the player Sir Ender Poole, as Su Da's personal guard, is one of Su Da's appointed examiners.

According to the rules, after the registered mercenaries pass the preliminary round, they can choose one of the three proxy warriors including Ender Poole to challenge.

As long as they can defeat one of them, they will be able to replace the other party and obtain the temporary quota of Su Da's acting warriors—that is, become new assessors. If they can persist until the start of the martial arts competition, they can officially represent Su Da in the battle.

Su Da’s bounty for each person who successfully obtained the provisional quota was about 300 gold dragon Pentos coins, while the reward for officially participating in the war was about 1000 gold dragon pentos gold coins, which attracted countless mercenaries to run Come and see the fun.

There are not many people who actually sign up. Su Da wants people who are real elites. If you don't have a certain ability to sign up, you will die.

They recruited people here for half a month, and Sir Ender Poole only played four games in total.But with these four games alone, he left a deep impression on the mercenaries.

The original words that Bronn heard describing Ender were—extremely superb swordsmanship, extremely obscene fighting style, and extremely cruel methods.

In view of the fact that Ander Poole was able to qualify to represent Suda Tetrus, Ian preliminarily judged that this evaluation should not be exaggerated.

In other words, this player's combat power is extremely high - he is likely to be the same as the golden robe player in the flea nest, and he belongs to the type with strong combat power in his predecessor. After replenishing the attribute points by hunting players, he can directly Play a combat power far beyond the layout.

Based on this, Ian decided to watch Ender's match in person (in raven form) and consider his specific level in order to plan his next move.

After letting Rohr take down the letter, Ian Raven set off again and flew to the lower city of Pentos.

Soon, he came to this arena named 'White Sand'.

At this time, it had entered bat time, and the sky was getting dark. A group of young nobles from the Volantene Party had already arrived at the VIP platform, preparing to watch the upcoming night game.

Ian didn't circle too much, but stopped directly on a pillar next to the VIP table.

Looking down from here, one could just see three heavily armed warriors standing in front of the VIP platform. If nothing else happened, they should be the three 'assessors' of this arena.

Immediately, Ian narrowed his eyes to the soldier standing on the far right. He speculated that this person was Ender Poole, because Bronn described him as superb swordsmanship, and he was the only one of the three who used it. What is the sword.The other two are arakhs and poleaxes.

After a while, the game in the arena began.

It's a pity that none of the three assessors entered the arena. Judging from the number of people queuing up in the arena, the rest of today's matches should still belong to the category of 'preliminary rounds'.

Just when Ian's plans to watch Sir Ender's battle fell through, and he was about to observe other things, he suddenly heard a word - 'Ambassador of Oranto'.

Oranto is Braavosi's ambassador to Pentos, and he himself has a close relationship with the Iron Bank.

In Ian's earliest plan, Oranto was the one he urgently needed to make friends with in order for Longma to obtain Braavos as an ally in the first place when the slaves were abolished in Slave Bay.

Unfortunately, after Illyrio refused to help introduce him, Ian has never been able to find a chance to get acquainted with the ambassador.

At this moment, he suddenly heard someone talking about him, and Ian immediately flew down from the top of the column and landed on the balcony railing that was closer to the source of the sound.

There were only two people in this stand, and they sat side by side, talking in a low voice.

"Your plan worked. The Palace of Neptune agreed to allow those two water dancers to represent us in the battle...but I don't understand."

"I told you, Suda, the Palace of Neptune will not let those keykeepers (descendants of the founder of the Iron Bank) seek the kingship of Pentos. Marian wants his son Hazan to be the real king of Pentos. Wang, this undoubtedly harms the interests of Haiwang Palace and other key watchmen."

"For this reason, they would rather cooperate with us Volantis?" Suda was still puzzled.

"Unless Volantis becomes the Tiger Party in power. The Tiger Party has not won Volantene elections for hundreds of years, otherwise these so-called Volantene parties in our Pentos will always be small, purple ships Once the fleet goes south, it will crush us in minutes.

Compared with us small shrimps, His Royal Highness Neptune is more worried about his opponents in the iron vault growing bigger in the face of interests, the so-called relationship between the enemy and us is not always so clear. "
