Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 158 Motives and Techniques
"No, it can be said that you are actually hiding it very well. I asked the intelligence chief of Governor Illyrio, the big mouse, to check you once, but because the pertinence was not strong enough, he didn't find out about your problem.

And because my green vision didn't warn me that you and Hazan were a threat to me, I once ruled out the possibility of you being a player. "

"Green vision?" Celia asked in confusion.

"Since I have upgraded the ability of the Green Prophet to an advanced level, the green vision will warn me whenever I encounter danger." Of course, Ian could not share the optional mission bugs he found with Celia, so he will This conclusion that I have passed through the BUG test is attributed to magic.

And this lie about [Green Prophet Advanced] can also effectively dispel Celia's possible crooked thoughts. After all, if there is a hooker staring at you at any time, who would dare to do small tricks?
"How is it possible? You are a knight, how many points can you allocate to spiritual power? I have piled up all the points of the three of us in the early stage to spiritual power, and only then have the Red God's magic point reached the intermediate level!" Celia couldn't do it at all. believe.

"If you can understand my ability, then it's time for me to fall into your hands now, isn't it?"

"This"

"So," Ian continued to explain, "it's not you who really exposed your flaws, but your 'brother' Hazan," Ian deliberately emphasized the tone of the word brother.

"Is there any problem with him?" Celia asked while recalling.

"Illyrio once told me that Hazan never gave up trying to win him over. So when I first went to Hazan's arena, I made a big pie for Hazan and told him that I was sure to convince Illyrio The governor joined his camp, but his reaction was... not interested." Ian spread his hands.

"Maybe he doesn't believe you can convince the governor at all." Celia immediately thought of a reason for Hazan.

"I thought so too at the time," Ian snapped his fingers, "but the problem was that night, when I went to the White Blade Arena for the second time."

"I was there too." Celia continued to recall, but she never found any flaws at that time.

"Yes, at that time Hazan proposed a marriage invitation to me, and he expressed the hope that we could get married as soon as possible. He should have known that our combination would destroy the trust between me and Governor Illyrio.

And his making such a request means that he doesn't expect me to help him persuade Governor Illyrio at all, and even his purpose itself includes separating me and Illyrio. "

"This can still be explained just now. Hazan has no hope of winning over Illyrio. The only ally he wants is you."

"Yes, so I made a test right away. I asked Hazan to marry you after I persuaded Governor Illyrio, and he agreed." Seeing the change in Celia's expression, Ian said with a smile , "How? Got it?"

"If Hazan has no hope of you convincing Illyrio at all, agreeing to this request means that our marriage contract will not be implemented at all." Celia finally understood what Ian meant, "In this way, Hazan There is a contradiction in behavior, but what can this explain?"

"Under what circumstances would Hazan be uninterested in wooing Illyrio and think that Illyrio would not affect our engagement? There is only one answer—in Hazan's eyes, Illyrio will soon be a Dead, and not before I leave Pentos."

"Too bold inference." Celia commented.

"I've been thinking about this matter for two full hours, and the table is filled with scraps of paper. I have speculated about countless possibilities. And this is the only one that can explain Hazan's behavior. When all other possibilities have been ruled out, the remaining No matter how impossible it is, that is the truth."

"And then?" Celia was completely aroused.

"Then there are a series of problems. No matter how you look at it, it is impossible for Hazan to kill Illyrio under the current circumstances. So, I need to find a breakthrough."

"for example?"

"The original." Ian gave an unexpected answer for Celia.

"These things didn't happen in the original book." Celia shook her head.

"This is the problem. In the original book, the city of Pentos is only shown in Daenerys' POV perspective for a few chapters at this time. This series of conflicts in Pentos city does not exist at all.

If it's just some small things, then it can also be explained as the butterfly effect caused by the player's activities, but if Hazan wants to kill Illyrio, it must be achieved by the player's full efforts. "

"So you start to suspect that there are players by Prince Hazan's side?"

"It's not doubt, it's conviction. Moreover, the identity of that player must be very special." Ian paused, "I know players are not ordinary people, they are good at creating miracles, but at the same time, players are not gods, they can't create gods trace.

At this point in time, even I, who snatched all the bounty resources released by the system, successfully completed the main task [-] through the system's rigidity in jurisprudence judgment, and won the first place in the scoreboard for two consecutive months, in Yilili In front of Prince Ou and Hazan, both still need to humble themselves. "

"Why do other players make Hazan do such a dangerous thing? No," Ian shook his head, "They don't have the qualifications to be in charge of things, unless"

"Priest." Celia answered quickly.

"That's right," Ian snapped his fingers again, "Governor Illyrio told me that most people in this city believe in the Red God, and Hazan belongs to Mohali, one of the 40 old families in Pentos. Si family, he is no exception.

And at this point in time when the tide of magic power has not yet recovered, the magic talents displayed by players who have acquired magic abilities through the system are more likely to be recognized as R'hllor's darling, thus gaining the trust of these people. "

"Then you suspect that you have sex with me?"

"That alone is not enough," Ian shook his head, "I said it, and my green vision. Hazan's plan did not pose any danger to me, which is actually a very weird signal.

It stands to reason that if a player can use his priesthood to influence Hazan so that Hazan can deal with Illyrio, then why didn't he just clean me up? "

"This..." Celia dodged her eyes.

"Moreover, not only did he not deal with me, but he made me one of the biggest beneficiaries of the whole incident. After Illyrio's death, I became the sole protector of the Targaryen brothers and sisters, and I also gained Prince Hazan and the Iron Bank. Friendship. What kind of player would make wedding dresses for other players inexplicably?
This is impossible, so if the players behind Hazan don't want to get something by killing me, they can only do it in other ways...

At this time, a certain red-robed woman who fell in love with me at first sight and was about to marry me appeared in my mind. "

"If it wasn't because I was that unlucky red-robed woman, I would have applauded you," Celia laughed.

"And with the goal of marrying me, the player's motivation for removing Illyrio has surfaced." Ian ignored Celia and continued.
