Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 147
This is actually asking me if I directed and acted everything at the banquet...

Ian was only a little surprised that Hazan could guess everything, after all, Illyrio's previous evaluation of this person was 'terrible'.

It may not be easy for others to discover Ian's intentions, but as the person who was reminded, it is normal for Hazan to have such doubts.

The only thing that surprised Ian was that Hazan actually chose to ask the question in such a direct way, as if he had already determined that this was the truth.

"As I said, it is my honor to be friends with Your Highness." Ian admitted that his original purpose was to make friends with Hazan, and it was impossible to hide this.

"I once persuaded Governor Illyrio to make a choice," Ian continued, "choose your uncle."

Hazan suddenly lost his composure just now, looked at Ian firmly, and asked in surprise: "Governor Illyrio even told you all this?"

"Your Excellency trusts me very much." Ian replied with a smile.

"How did Lord Illyrio respond to you?" Hazan asked.

"Unfortunately, I failed to convince him. He is very cautious. Both he and the commander want to remain neutral."

"This is Lord Illyrio's character," Hazan nodded in agreement, and he would doubt it if Ian said he was successful, "I have shown him many times, but he has never given a positive response. "

"So, I have created an opportunity for you, an opportunity to actually reach a cooperation with His Excellency the Governor. Regardless of whether His Majesty Viserys admits it or not, it seems to the outside world that his will and His Excellency Illyrio's will are one. We The help to you, in the eyes of Haiwang Palace, is the help that His Excellency Illyrio has given you."

"So why? Why are you helping me? You're a knight of Westeros, well. Earl," Harzan corrected, "you've only been in Pentos for less than two months, and we've never had intersection."

"But as we all know, your uncle Tormo Frega will win the next Aquaman election the most. If you have the support of that commander, the next Aquaman's candidate will lose suspense," Ian laughed He stood up, "Then, Your Highness, tell me, why should I not be on the side of the victor?"

Of course Hazan didn't know that Ian hit a time lag.

Ian didn't know the specific inside story about the Braavos faction until after Drogo's banquet, but he used this inside story to make up a more perfect reason for his previous behavior.

At the same time, he also drew a huge pie for Hazan—to help him gain the support of Illyrio and the commander of the Purple Ship Fleet behind Illyrio.

Guided by such huge interests, he will gain enough voice in front of Hazan.

It's a pity that after hearing such great good news, the first reaction in Hazan's eyes was not excitement, but something extremely complicated, more like something weird.

"My uncle will not let you and Governor Illyrio down." Hazan's emotion was only fleeting, and the next moment he showed an excited smile, "Ian, if you can really help me convince Illyrio Your Excellency Ou, I owe you a huge favor."

Well, this guy doesn't believe that I can convince Illyrio at all, Ian laughed in his heart, then
"I think, before I help you convince Lord Illyrio, you already owe me a huge favor." Ian looked around while talking.

Now there are only myself, Hazan, Delive, and Daelen in the entire main stand. This place is far away from other stands, and it is basically impossible to be heard.And here is underground, there are no birds or beasts around, not even mice because of the cleanliness of the ground.

"I don't know what you mean?"

"Haiwangdian took action against your two water dancers, and decided to let them rebel against Suda on the spot during the official competition." Ian said the heavy news.

"And how did you know?" Hazan was not surprised by the news itself, but that Ian 'also' knew about it.

"You already know?" Ian blurted out.

"This..." Hazan hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I did get the news."

Fuck!How can it be?Ian couldn't help feeling ridiculous.

It stands to reason that Su Da couldn't be so stupid as to leak out such crucial news, right?
Or was there an insider within the Volantene inner circle?

"Don't feel sorry," Hazan seemed to have noticed Ian's loss, "No matter what, your willingness to tell me such important information proves your sincerity, Ian.

As a friend, even if I don't really owe you any favors, as long as you come to my place usefully, just open your mouth. At worst, you owe me favors. "He said and laughed.

Ian can feel his sincerity, at least he is sincere when he says this. Unless his acting skills have been perfected to the point where he can be compared with himself.

"So, knowing that the two water dancers will surrender to the enemy, you are still so sure of victory? You must know that there are many champion gladiators on Suda's side and an Andal knight with amazing combat power."

"Actually not," Ha sighed, and chose to tell the truth, "I plan to kill the two water dancers' rebellion before the start of the game, so that even if they can't play for me, at least they can't help Su Da .

If only the two of them rebelled, I still have an absolute chance of winning against Suda after I accidentally got the help of your subordinate Master Yada. bad news. "

"What is it?"

"Suda just got a very powerful Andal mercenary warrior, that guy only took one afternoon to pass the preliminary round, and then killed Suda's defender in just 3 minutes. The Raider - 'The Banshee's Claw,' champion warrior of the Great Arena of Meereen."

Unexpectedly, that is my person, Ian secretly smiled inwardly.

"According to my subordinates who watched the battle at 'White Sands'," Hazan continued, "that guy's strength may not be inferior to Suda's personal guard Captain Ender Poole and the 'Elephant Hunter' from Iban, In the case of losing two water dancers, our current chance of winning is actually only [-]%."

Ian breathed a sigh of relief.

One was because Hazan was able to tell the story of the lack of chances of winning without worrying about giving up his plan to let Yada fight for him-that would put him in a desperate situation, which showed that he really recognized himself as a friend.

The second is because if Hazan's winning rate is insufficient, he still has the opportunity to sell other people's favors.

"I suddenly had an idea, Hazan," Ian said, "about those two water dancers."

"Oh?"

"You said, can we find a poison that can delay the onset and let the two water dancers drink it, and then after the competition starts, when they represent Suda in the battle, the drug's effect will take effect."

Can you still play like this?Hazan's eyes widened, as if he had opened the door to a new world for a moment, then he quickly looked at Delive beside him: "Does this kind of poison exist?"

"Ash mushroom powder, Your Highness, the toxicity of this poison will take effect after 6 hours. Symptoms include diarrhea, dehydration, vomiting and severe abdominal pain. If it occurs on the battlefield of a contest." Delive didn't finish her sentence, but The meaning is self-evident.

Hazan became excited, and kissed Delive directly, then got up and hugged Ian again.

"You were so helpful, Ian, and I don't know how to thank you."

"Not only that, I will also recommend some acting warriors to you," Ian said, pointing to Case standing under the stands, "One of them is my sworn knight Sir Case," this is the first time Ian Mentioning Case's real name, "He is the most powerful knight I have ever seen. Even Master Yada, the water dancer, thinks he is no match for him."

It was Ian's impromptu decision to raise a bet on the tournament.

One is to further ensure the odds of winning the contest.

The second is because he feels that Hazan's character is very suitable for deep friendship.

If the break between himself and Illyrio is inevitable in the future, then Hazan's friendship will become the biggest card in his hand.
