Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 191 News from Westeros

"It's rare for me to come here with so much money, and you told me not to let us disembark?" Bronn couldn't accept it.

"I need you on board, my friend," Ian said earnestly. "The sailors know the secrets of the ship, and now is not the time to let the world know about dragons."

Well, players definitely already know, but at least they can't be made to know where the dragon is.

"As compensation," Ian continued, "I can buy a batch of slaves you need to bring back to the ship." Disembark, I want you two to oversee this."

"There are close to two hundred sailors on board," Bronn complained, "I'm sure they won't like this order."

"And I'm sure you're pretty good at solving those problems."

"Okay." Bronn agreed directly, and didn't ask for more money as he did in the past. "I'll make them behave like novices in a monastery."

He is not short of money, although because of the previous turmoil in Pentos, he failed to get the 1000 golden dragons promised by Prince Hazan.But the generous Lannis, oh no, Lord Darry, what do you call him? If you are willing to pay, you are my good lord. The generous Earl Darry paid 500 gold dragons instead of Prince Hazan to compensate him, so that he did not fight in vain. That contest.

Now Bronn's desire for the golden dragon is not as strong as before. He is more interested in the castle and the earl that Ian promised to himself. Judging from the fact that Queen Targaryen got the dragon, it seems that this is not out of reach. .

After receiving Bronn's assurance, Ian looked at Dorian again. To be honest, he was not worried about Dorian's refusal. This kid has been faithfully carrying out his orders ever since he swore allegiance to him.

"Of course, my lord," Dorian agreed without hesitation, and then he immediately added, "But I want to correct your slip of the tongue, the Black Falcons are not mercenaries, we are your personal guards, as early as Stranger Stranger We swore our allegiance to you when you were in church."

Ian froze for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Dorian is only two years older than me, uh, only two years older than me now. When I met him at the Crossroads Hotel, he was still a green and reckless young man. I didn't expect to be able to say it now. Come on like this.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that after staying with me for a long time, these people around me began to become smarter.

"Yes, it was my slip of the tongue, you are my bodyguard." Ian nodded, "Kneel down." He drew his sword while speaking.

Dorian was a little dazed, but still knelt down.

"One knee, my friend." Ian resisted the urge to cover his face.

Only then did Dorian understand Ian's intentions, and quickly readjusted his posture.

"Dorian Blackficken (Black Falcon)," Ian put the sword on Dorian's right shoulder,

"In the name of a warrior I ask you to be brave;

In the name of the Father I demand justice from you;
Arise, Ser Dorian, I formally appoint you Captain of my Guard, and you shall have the right to choose the arms of your house. "

"I will swear allegiance to the death." Dorian made a fist with his right hand, hammered his left chest twice, and then stood up.

"You kneel too, Bronn." Ian turned back to Bronn.

"I" Bronn shrugged, as if he didn't have much interest in this thing, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it would be worthwhile to kneel down to change his title, so he also knelt down.

"Take a Warrior"

"I don't believe in the Seven Gods, my lord." Bronn interrupted Ian rudely, "Can we change to a faster way?"

"Yes," Ian was not angry, because he didn't believe in the Seven Gods, and the reason why he used the vows of the Seven Gods was purely for the sense of ritual, "In my own name, Ian Darry, I ask you to execute my orders to kill my enemies."

"That's exactly what I've been doing."

"Rise up, then, Ser Bronn."

Ian finished the final conferring ceremony, and after leaving most of the people on board, he only took Roll, Case, and Celia off the boat.

After they inquired from the guard at the pier in Tylosi where the largest tavern near the port was located, they walked there.

Walking on the road, Ian suddenly thought that he had walked into a mental hospital. The streets here were unusually noisy, and the people on the road acted exaggeratedly. They dyed their hair and beards into various colors—blue, maroon , pink, purple, scarlet and green.

Even though they knew that the green color on their heads didn't have any special meaning in the Tyloshi culture, Ian and Celia laughed at the same time when they saw it.

Passing through the hustle and bustle of the docks, they quickly turned into a riverside street and found a three-story wooden building.

This is the largest inn outside the port of Tylosey that the guard just said - the 'Three Songs' inn.

Without lingering outside the door, Ian and the others walked into the interior of the inn, found a table at random and sat down.

The boy in the inn took the initiative to ask Ian what they wanted. Ian ordered four glasses of local alcohol at random, and then began to wait on the spot.

He doesn't need to find out the specific location of Kou Lu, according to experience, he only needs to arrive at the agreed place, and the NPC can find him on his own initiative.

However, while Ian was waiting, the voices of the mercenaries at the next table reached his ears.

"Westeros is going to war, we can try our luck there."

"Come on, as far as those poor ghost lords in Westeros, how much can they afford? Instead of going west, it's better to wait for the war to resume in the disputed land. Myr has signed a contract with the Golden Company. I bet, In less than half a year, the war in the disputed land will definitely restart."

"It's different this time. I've heard that the shit that Duke Tywin pulled out was made of gold."

"Who is Tywin?"

"You don't even know this? The Duke of Casterly Rock City, the guy who owns several gold veins. Now the king of Westeros summons all the vassals in the country to attack him. He thinks that he will fight for him in order to save his life." What price does your mercenary offer?"

"Are you so crazy? The king summoned all the vassals to attack him, and you still want to go? You can get the golden shit he pulled, can you have life flowers?"

"Two friends," a blond young man's voice interrupted the two mercenaries, "can you tell me specifically what happened in Westeros?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you do it for nothing." Ian said, putting two silver coins on the table.

"Of course, my friend," the mercenary borrowed Ian's rhetoric, and then enthusiastically began to share the rumors he had heard, "You may not believe it, the queen of Westeros and her brother are having an affair in Winterfell was discovered, the queen was beaten to death by the king on the spot, and her younger brother, the son of the Duke of Casterly Rock, ran away like a coward, so..."

After listening to the mercenary, Ian finally figured out what was going on.

To put it simply, a certain player force used the plot nodes discovered by Bran to commit adultery between James and Cersei to arrange, and directly and rudely subverted the entire plot line of Westeros. This is exactly the same as his own thinking.

After all, this itself is the best choice for players who have gained a developmental advantage.

Destroying the plot can destroy other players' "knowledge of the original" to the greatest extent, and make their plans based on the follow-up original plot completely fall through.
