Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 163 Prince's Palace
The palace of Prince Pentos is in the center of the city. It is a large and luxurious building complex made of pure white marble.

Prince Pantos is only a leader in name, responsible for presiding over ceremonies, but this luxurious prince's palace can be called the facade of Pantos, and it will not damage Pantos' face in the slightest.

The First Banner Guard of the old governor of Rotarus was stationed outside the Prince's Palace. Half of these people used spears, and the other half used short swords. They were all equipped with large round shields that could cover the entire upper body.

It can be seen that their weapons are issued uniformly.

In contrast, Lin's various and uneven protective gear, which was obviously prepared by them, looked particularly bad.

If Steward Mills hadn't said that the First Banner Guard was the most elite of the Pentos city guards, Ian would have probably regarded them as a mob.

Passing through the golden arch several meters high, Ian, together with many other Pentos nobles, was brought into the prince's palace by the eunuchs.

Along the cobblestone avenue with carved stone pillars on both sides, the first thing they passed through was the palace garden. The colorful beauty didn't stop them for a while, and they came to the Prince's Square.

Later contests will be held on the platform built here.

And in this game, Ian will collect the last bit of interest before leaving Pentos - the heads of two players, Ender Poole and Belz Poole.

The game hadn't started yet, and Ian followed the crowd and continued to walk towards the gleaming front hall.

The hall of the front hall is very wide, more than three times the size of the hall of the Red Castle, and the entire hall is covered with a thick Myrish carpet, and the stone pillars supporting the ceiling are engraved with the three major symbols of Pentos—symbols. The golden scale of trade, the steel sword of war and the silver whip of law.

The hall was surrounded by long rows of tables filled with all kinds of wine and exquisite food, although it was far from lunch time.

The giant statue of the Lord of Light was placed in the middle of the hall. The first thing many Pentos nobles did after entering the hall was to come to the stone sculpture and pray to the Lord of Light.

Celia stood under the stone sculpture of the King of Light, met Ian's gaze from afar, and nodded to him, indicating that she had fulfilled his orders.

Ian knew that she wasn't lying, because since they separated yesterday, Celia had indeed been honestly kept in Daju's sight, and her every move was under Ian's surveillance.

To be honest, Ian, who has just promoted the shape changer to the intermediate level, is still not fully proficient in manipulating the body and the change object at the same time, but fortunately, his two bodies do not need to fight now, so the pressure on mental power is not great .

The waiting in the hall did not last long, and soon, the eunuch standing at the gate loudly announced the arrival of today's first protagonist: "Suda Tetrus, the son of Governor Gloro Tetrus, has arrived !"

"Prince Hazan Mohararis, son of Prince Tregg Mohararis, and his fiancée, Dalif Haulcourt, daughter of Governor Godin Howcott, are here!" Immediately afterwards, the eunuch announced Hazan and his party the appearance of people.

Prince Hazan came in almost immediately after stepping on Suda Tetrus's door, which not only showed his status was more noble, but also would not be out of place.

Delive wore a purple velvet floor-length dress and followed Hazan in military uniform. A gorgeous gemstone belt was tied around her waist, highlighting her exquisite figure.And she held Ha Zan's hand very affectionately, and leaned gently on her shoulder, looking like a little bird.

Delive's appearance almost instantly attracted the attention of the audience. After all, at least from the outside, today's martial arts tournament was all because of her.

Of course, there was one exception. As soon as Ender Poole beside Suda Tetrus entered the door, he cast his eyes on Darren Grafson beside Ian.

It is not difficult for Ian to see that he is declaring war, declaring war on the player Daelon.
This is probably why Celia would rather throw out the name Gini Taime to attract Ender Poole's attention than to eliminate him in a hurry.

Although the Ander Brothers' alliance has reached the top 30, in Celia's eyes, they are obviously not at the same level as herself and Ian
Even when Celia planned this contest, did she intend to clean up Ander Poole?
Ian's gaze didn't stop at Ender Poole, but continued to look aside at the young man on the other side of Suda. The young man he saw at the White Sand Arena that night was discussing the water dancer with Suda. .

Standing side by side with Suda, he undoubtedly had the same status. If nothing else happened, that guy should be the son of Viceroy Cecito Moen, the agent of Volantis.

The Moen family paid money and people for Suda's contest this time. I really don't know that they found out that the leader of the Volantis party, Governor Gloro Tetrus, is the biggest ghost. What will it look like afterwards.

As the crowd approached, Ian and Daelon naturally greeted Hazan, walked into his team, and then came to the prescribed stand, which was prepared in advance by the slaves of the Prince's Palace on the Palace Square Temporary stands, simple sheds are built on the stands for sunshade.

As soon as he took his seat in the stands, Ian noticed three eunuchs behind Hazan's seat with a long hammer on their shoulders.

Looking at the war hammer, Ian was in a daze for a moment. He once again thought of the spear and hammer that greeted his head during the battle of the Stranger's Temple, and couldn't help feeling a chill.

The hammer head of this war hammer is not big, so Hazan, who doesn't look so strong, can handle it with ease.

In fact, the real hammer weapon is different from the show, basically there is no watermelon-sized shape in the impression of many people (gold melon warrior is a pure guard of honor), and the size of the short-handled hammer head is basically no more than The tiger's mouth opened by the user usually weighs more than one kilogram, and its lethality is mainly guaranteed by its shape and mass distribution.

The hammer head of the long-handled hammer will be slightly larger, but its mass is only more than three kilograms at most, and its actual combat value will be greatly reduced.

As for why this light thing requires three people to resist, it is probably forced.

A few minutes later, the two governors, Glorero Tetrus and Godin Howcott, also came to the Prince's Square in person and took their seats on the battle platforms on both sides.

Immediately, the proxy warriors of both sides went to the preparation area under the battle platform. There were more than 10 proxy warriors on both sides, half of them were substitutes.

Of course, the substitute here does not mean being able to replace the main force in the next battle after being injured, but to provide more tactical options.

According to the rules of the game, the two sides will take turns to send one person to the battle stage first, and then the other side can choose an opponent for him in a targeted manner, and this person can be selected from all the proxy warriors they have prepared.Only when a person officially steps on the stage can he occupy a place in the competition.

That is to say, apart from Prince Hazan and Su Da's own quota, they can choose who is the remaining six acting warriors from their own candidates according to tactics.

And just when the two governors were about to announce the start of the game, a sudden change occurred.

The two water dancers who were originally standing in Hazan's team went straight to the other side of the arena, and the whole stand was suddenly noisy.

The nobles of the Braavosi Party didn't know the inside story, and when they suddenly saw such a scene, they couldn't help but panic, and they all stood up and began to curse loudly.

And although the nobles of Volantis didn't know what happened, they still stood up one after another, cheering and scolding the Braavosi party members at the same time.

If the stands between the two sides were not far enough apart, I am afraid that the situation would soon turn into a fight.

And when the scene was full of chaos, a mercenary warrior who originally belonged to Suda suddenly walked to Hazan's side, and shouted to the stands of the Volantis Party, saying that he hated the most I am used to Su Da's villainous behavior, so I will choose another master to fight.

There was no doubt that this man was Bronn.

"I've never seen such a mercenary with such a sense of justice," Hazan was shocked by Bronn's actions, and couldn't help but agree with Ian beside him, "He is simply like the most exemplary knight in your Andal population!"

"No, he asked you to triple the price, and I've already agreed for you." Ian shook his head, bringing Hazan back to reality.

The money has to be reimbursed to Hazan.
