Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 145 Prince Hazan
Passing through the bustling upper city, Ian took Illyrio's carriage to Liberty Street in the lower city.

It was originally called Bloody Street, and it was the most concentrated place in the entire Pentos slave arena, but after Pentos lost to Braavos 91 years ago, all the arenas on this street were closed, and the name of the street changed. Changed to Liberty Street to commemorate Braavos' great victory.

Like Suda Tetrus, Hazan's arena is on this street.

And now, Ian is heading to Hazan's 'White Blade Arena' together with Daelon.

Sixteen Unsullied surrounded the carriage, driving the untouchables on the side of the road to clear the way for Ian.

This is the force that Ian borrowed from Illyrio's mansion. After an open and honest conversation yesterday, Ian has completely gained the trust of Illyrio, and at the same time he has gained the authority to use many of Illyrio's forces. permission.

This Harpy 'whip', which can mobilize 50 Unsullied, was a gift from Illyrio to Ian.

In addition, Illyrio himself admitted that he was not worried about offending the Volantis Party. In fact, Ian now has the capital to use Illyrio's power to deal with the player Ender Poole.

But after Ian hesitated, he gave up this plan and decided to kill Ander in the martial arts competition according to the original plan.

After all, if you can't wait to deal with a Suda Tetrus proxy warrior just after you have elevated your authority, it is tantamount to admitting that you have the motive to help Hazan win the contest.

This inevitably made Illyrio wonder if he had sung an oboe with Daeron Grafson earlier.

Anyway, he could get the same result, so of course he didn't need to choose a method that might arouse Illyrio's suspicion.

"Ian is coming soon," Hazan said to Delive beside him after waving away the men who came to report the news that Ian's carriage had entered Liberty Street, "I have been looking forward to dealing with him for a long time. .”

"Is it because of Tarobane's evaluation of him?" Delive frowned slightly, "I checked for you last time, Ian Darry is nothing special, and I even suspect that he is just Daeron Guerra A target that Fussen pushed forward.

All the information shows that Daeron is Ian's subordinate, but you have also seen that Daeron had no respect for Ian at Khal Drogo's banquet before, and I also checked, this time they came from Wes The knights brought by Tello were all Daeron's men.

So I suspect that Darren Grafson's fear of being targeted by assassins sent by the King of Westeros pushed his companion into such a seemingly elevated position. "

"Sounds reasonable, but" Hazan paused and thought for a while, "I don't know what to say about this, it's actually very weird."

"Oh?"

"Didn't you ask me before why I can understand Viserys' character even though I have never had contact with him?" Hazan thought for a while and said.

"Your answer at the time was 'a king who has been under the fence for a long time, suddenly has real supporters and the capital to be asked for help, the most urgent thing to do must be to prove that he is not a puppet of Illyrio', why? This is not correct Answer?" Delive blinked.

"It is, but what made me think of it was Ian's words. He said that Governor Illyrio is Viserys' most important ally, and he believed that His Majesty would not ignore the Governor's wishes."

"What does this mean?"

"The message shown in this sentence is that Viserys has never had the power to make his own decisions on big issues. So when he suddenly has this power, his rebellious psychology towards Illyrio will be particularly serious."

"What do you mean?" Delive guessed what Hazan was thinking.

"I suspect Ian was simply reminding me when he said that."

"But this sentence was not abrupt in the situation at the time, it didn't seem like it was said on purpose, and if Darren Grafson didn't suddenly attack him, then the whole conversation after that would not have happened at all. You can't say that he arranged the whole scene at that time, can you?" At this point, Delive was suddenly taken aback, and said uncertainly, "Is this possible?"

"It's hard to say. He doesn't feel like he's acting. And if that's the case, what is his purpose? What good does it do him to help me?"

Maybe he saw your ass?Delive wanted to make a joke, but she knew that when Hazan was thinking seriously, she must not touch his bad luck.

"Perhaps Tie Jin Kuo talked to him? Let her do it after all." Delive made a more reasonable guess.

Her suspicion was not unreasonable, because countless experiences in the past proved that Hazan's success was always cleared by his mother's gold coins.

"If that's the case, he should let me know that he is helping me!" Hazan shook his head.

"Maybe you'll know the answer later, Daeron said he has something very important to tell us."

"That's why I'm looking forward to meeting him, and if Daeron is really just his puppet, then having such a person as our friend will bring a very positive effect to our plan." Ha Zan said, as if he remembered something,
"By the way, did you ask Celia what she told Ian at Drogo's banquet that day?"

"Just like you, she is also very interested in that Andal knight. She originally wanted to invite Ian to the Red Temple on the top of the mountain, and then pull him into our camp, but it seems unnecessary now. According to what you said, This Sir Ian wanted to help you."

Just as he was talking, the subordinates just now came to the door of Hazan's room again, "They're here."

"We're here." Luo Er opened the curtain from the outside.

After Ian let Dylan get out of the car, he got out of the car himself.

'White Knife Arena' is an unremarkable looking building, and the wooden gate seems to be a bit old.

Roll went up and knocked on the door.

The door was opened by a eunuch, whom Ian recognized from his thin voice and rounded build.

At this moment, Ian is wearing the white Kingsguard plate armor of Jonoso Darry. Its workmanship is indeed top-notch. Although it is slightly dented by the attack of the spear and hammer, Ian can't find it in Pentos at all. There are no alternatives that can surpass it in quality.

The Unsullied were stationed outside the door, while Ian and the others followed the fat eunuch and walked into the arena.

They walked through a deserted hallway and down a winding staircase to the ground.

The butter lamp hanging on the wall of the staircase swayed with flickering flames, casting the slender shadows of several people on the ground, stretching slenderly, extending into the shadow without light.

Walking on the stone steps, the echo of footsteps echoed in the narrow space.

At a certain moment, Ian seemed to see another fishing net flying towards him, and then a ferocious golden robe smashed the spear and hammer at him.

He was in a trance for a while, and shook his head violently to get rid of these images, only to realize that what he just saw was his own shadow cast on the wall by the oil lamp.

Because of the wind blowing in, the flame on the torch was swaying, and the shadow on the wall fluttered along with it.
