Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 153 Final Confirmation
After completing this group of investigations, Ian returned to the sky above Illyrio's mansion.

Although Ian had seen the whole mansion countless times when he was practicing his shape-changing ability, he had never considered this building in terms of offense and defense.

In terms of location, this mansion is located in the southwest of the XC area of ​​Pantos, not far from the port. Once something happens here, the sailors of the ships belonging to the Chamber of Commerce in the port can arrive within half an hour after receiving the news.

The other two main mansions of Illyrio are located in the east and northwest of the XC area, which are closer to the chamber of commerce. Once an enemy enters the XC area without attacking the three buildings, Illyrio's troops It will be easy to come out and cut off their retreat.

The mansion is composed of three parts, the front and the back. There is a wall that is not high at the outermost edge, and it is easy to break through from any direction.

But if someone really breaks through the outer wall, the first thing they have to face is the labyrinth-like garden and the Unsullied barracks in the outer courtyard.

Half of Illyrio's Unsullied were bought six years ago, and a batch was added a year ago... The former is old and its combat effectiveness has declined seriously, but the latter is basically still at its peak.

There were about 500 of them in total, and half of the elite were deployed in this mansion, and two-thirds of this half were deployed in the outer courtyard.

If you continue to go inside, there is a circle of walls that are a little higher and thicker than the outer wall, but the height is still only more than two meters, and it is not difficult to break through.

Illyrio, the Viserys brothers and sisters, and himself all lived in the inner courtyard.

Ian circled around and counted. There were 8 Unsullied guards outside Illyrio and his dormitory, while the Viserys brothers and sisters lived in a total of 12. Of course, there was a group of about ten people around Illyrio There were many slave warriors, including champion gladiators like 'Bulky' Belwas.

In addition, 8 Unsullied guards are stationed at various intersections and the gates between the courtyards, and 8 people are stationed at the two towers in the inner courtyard, from where you can get a complete view of the inner and outer courtyards, and there are also 8 groups of 3 people. Patrols patrol the inner courtyard.

Continuing inward, there is a small hill. This hill is completely enclosed in Illyrio's mansion. From the top of the hill, one can overlook the entire Pentos and the sea of ​​Pentos Bay.

There is no fence between the inner courtyard and the hill, but there is only one way up the mountain. The way Ian used to go to the big terrace to find Jorah.

There is a fork in the middle of this road, which leads to the small castle on the other side of the mountain. It is very steep, and it is completely impossible to transport siege equipment.

Once Illyrio's mansion is attacked, they can immediately transfer Illyrio, Viserys and others to the castle for refuge.

There are a large amount of food and water wells in the castle, enough for 100 people to hold on inside, waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

Whether facing siege or raid, the mansion is well equipped to cope.

So for Hazan, the best way is to lure Illyrio out to kill, and then pay off Illyrio's forces...

Of course, that wasn't easy either.

Without much entanglement, Ian began to descend the altitude, fell back to his residence, and then left the state of shape-changing.

Next, he only needs to confirm some other things, and he can reveal the whole picture of the matter.

When Ian himself came out of the bedroom, he found a boy about 13 years old and a girl in a red robe waiting for him in the living room.

"I'm sorry to bother you both at this late hour," Ian pointed at the drinks and desserts on the table, "Please feel free to enjoy these foods."

"Sir Ian," the little boy still called Ian Sir, which was what the 'big mouse' called Ian in front of him before, "You are a friend of the boss, if you need us, please ask us."

"It's an honor to serve you." The red-robed woman echoed.

"So," Ian asked the boy first, "are you the little mouse who was in charge of that Kenny Taime thing?"

"Yes, sir."

"You did a great job," Ian praised first, and then added, "But because you don't know my actual purpose, your final report may have missed the point, so, next, I need to add I have some questions from you, and I hope you can recall them carefully."

The boy nodded.

"First question, what's the name of the priestess who met Gini Taime?"

"Her name is." The boy couldn't answer for a while, so he looked at the red-robed girl beside him.

"Her name is Celia, and she is the daughter of the high priest." The red-robed woman replied.

really!Ian's eyes narrowed.

"Before you, someone did go to the Red Temple to check the existence of Gini Taime, right?" He continued to ask.

"Yes, but the other party is covering it tightly, and it is impossible to find out who it is." This time it was the boy's answer.

"Any other clues? Like where did he go after he left?"

"No, it's been too long. If they hadn't been told to follow him at that time, no one would have paid attention to such a person." The boy shook his head.

It's a pity... "So, in the short period of time before Gini Taime appeared in the Red Temple, did any major events happen in the Red Temple?" Ian said and added, "It doesn't have to be a big event, it's weird It's okay."

"This" the boy looked at the red-robed woman again, he didn't check these things.

"Those days? Let me think about it." The red-robed woman frowned, thinking about something that fit Ian's description, "By the way, it seems that a businessman who was staying in the temple died in it, and then someone else came Investigated that."

"who is it?"

"The members of the City Guard seem to be the Third Banner Squad, the power of Governor Tetrus." The red-robed woman remembered.

Ender Poole, Ian thought silently.

"Okay, one last question." Ian stretched out a finger, "Tell me about Celia's entire itinerary three months ago, no, the entire month of October."

After seeing off the little mouse and the red-robed girl, Ian half-lyed on the bench, breathing deeply.

He still has lingering fears. Fortunately, he has developed the habit of not letting go of any details, otherwise, uh
It's not that danger will happen soon, but it will really be a very absurd thing, very absurd...

How could that little blackie come up with such a plan for the sixth child?

Temporarily suppressing the cordial greeting in his heart, Ian turned to thinking about what he should do next.

So do you want to help facilitate Hazan's plan?If Hazan's plan is implemented smoothly, he will become one of the biggest beneficiaries.

Or help Illyrio?It would be safer to choose this side, because that way you can avoid cooperating with the "non-hostile" sixth child.

In short, now my choice will determine who is the winner of Pentos.

is it possible?Ian heard the voice again in a trance.

His eyes widened suddenly, and a plan began to surge up uncontrollably and frantically until it filled his mind.

He thought he was crazy.

For A Song of Ice and Fire, Ian likes many characters. Arthur Dayne, the sword of dawn with explosive force value, has always been treated coldly by the world, but he is far more like a real knight than those sanctimonious hypocrites There is also Jaime Lannister, who is slick but never loses the bottom line, Davos, the onion knight.

Too many to count.

But if one were to ask who was the person he admired the most, there would be no doubt, 'Littlefinger' Petyr Baelish, a person who truly started from nothing and climbed to the pinnacle of power step by step purely by conspiracy.

Petyr is not a player, does not know the future, has no auxiliary system, does not have any golden fingers, and some are just a head, but he can go from a little earl on the Five Fingers Peninsula to an agent in the valley all the way .

He even wants to sit on the Iron Throne.

So why can't I be the winner myself?

Chaos is the ladder.

　Considering that the previous way of writing the protagonist's plan in detail has been questioned such as "long-winded", some of the protagonist's inner activities will be hidden in the new writing attempt... This can also avoid content duplication caused by [plan - complete the plan].

　　In short, when the protagonist finishes his work, you will know what he is doing
