Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 229 Take Special Care Against Me
After Ian randomly made up an optional task of [ensure that he will not be attacked by the faceless men who came to assassinate Adam this time] and asked the water dancer Yada to propose it to him, he immediately received a reminder of the completion of the task .

This allows Ian to confirm that the Faceless Men are principled in most cases and will not arbitrarily take lives without paying a price in advance.

But this makes it all the more abnormal that Jaqen H'ghar the Faceless in the original books agreed to Arya Stark's request to 'help her escape Harrenhal' and killed several Lannister soldiers. .

To some extent, this seems to support the speculation of other senior readers that 'Arya Stark is a pivotal pawn in the game between R'hllor and Han Shen'.

In the TV series version of the story, Arya Stark used her Faceless ability to pretend to be a White Walker and approached the Night King and killed him with a knife.
This way of making the biggest boss of the whole play give away the head is somewhat nonsense. Ian personally thinks that the possibility of the plot developing in this direction is zero.

But there's no doubting that Arya will play some sort of crucial role in the long game of the night.

Um. Thinking too far, Ian patted his head.

My own person is in Slaver's Bay, and the whole plate is stuck here. No matter what role Arya plays in the game of the gods, it has nothing to do with me.To be more precise, no matter what happens in Westeros, it has nothing to do with him.

After shaking off these thoughts, Ian has also reached the third-to-last step on the top of the pyramid.

"From now on," Ian said to the Unsullied captain of the guards after he screened everyone except the entrance guards, "No one is allowed to enter or leave here for three months. All your guards maintain at least 4 People act in groups, and no one is allowed to leave the sight of the three companions in the group under any circumstances."

"Yes, my lord." The captain of the Unsullied with two spikes on his head replied immediately.

"Also, I must warn you that our enemies can pretend to be anyone, including me," Ian pointed to himself, "so if anyone arrives here in the next three months If you issue an order to lift the ban or let him pass, you can directly kill him on the spot!"

"Anyone? Including you?" the Unsullied captain asked.

"Including all your superior commanders, former instructors, my personal guard officers, and myself, especially myself. In short, the person who appeared and issued such an order within the time limit must be the disguise of the Faceless Man, understand? ?”

"Yes, my lord."

"Okay, get out of the way, I'll go in and have a few words with the guard inside." Ian waved his hand.

"Yes." Captain Unsullied immediately waved his hand, causing the Unsullied on both sides to spread out, making way for Ian.

"What the hell did I just say?" Ian squeezed out a smile, and whipped the captain of the Unsullied, "Anyone! Kill anyone who gives such an order!" Ian then roared Said, "Especially me!"

"But you have been in our sight all the time, you can't be a fake." Captain Unsullied immediately defended.

"Did I ask you to distinguish between the real and the fake in the order? No, you don't need to distinguish between the real and the fake, as long as someone dares to try to enter the restricted area, kill!"

"Be alert!" Captain Unsullied shouted, and then the twelve Unsullied guarding the steps pointed their spears at Ian.

"Very good." Ian nodded, then ran away, quickly leaving the Unsullied's alert range.

According to Ian's previous order, if the enemy escapes, the Unsullied are not allowed to leave the guard range to pursue them, so as not to give the Faceless Man an opportunity.

As soon as he came down from the pyramid, Ian met his A-level NPC Duncan, who saw him and stopped him.

Since the power of Ian's subordinates has swelled, Ian has almost forgotten the existence of NPCs below S rank, but after the visit of the new Ghis emissary, Ian recalled these two A-level knights he obtained earlier , and sent them along with Case to Daenerys as bodyguards.

After all, Ian himself has been crazily 'worshiping' Ghis culture so far, and even regarded himself as a spiritual Ghis, which will inevitably lead to these Slave Bay city-states, "Will this guy not return to Westeros at all?" Instead stay here to conquer Slaver's Bay' concerns.

In order to dispel the other party's worries, Ian needs to convey to them the message that 'his immediate boss, Queen Daenerys, still adheres to the traditions of Westeros and misses her homeland very much'.

Reorganizing the 'Queen's Guard' and replacing some of the Unsullied with more traditional Westeros knights became Ian's first step.

Next, he will use a series of operations to convince the Meereen, Yunkai and New Ghis missions who will be invited soon to believe that 'this group of uninvited guests from Westeros will definitely get out of our slave bay'. .

"You didn't stay by the Queen's side, why did you come here?" Ian asked.

"Her Majesty asked me to come to you, my lord," Duncan explained. "She said she had an important question for you."

"Do you know what it is?"

"It seems to be related to fifth-class slavery. She didn't know where she learned about your new system and the news that we captured tens of thousands of new slaves in the Worm River. She was very angry."

"Oh?" Ian's eyes narrowed. "Daenerys never left Astapor. Who told her that?"

"I don't know." Duncan shook his head.

"Go and check if you don't know, what are you doing in a daze?" Ian waved his hand speechlessly, then walked towards Daenerys' room.

At the same time, an inexplicable sense of irritability surged into Ian's heart.

Whether it was the previous search for the Quirk Lizard, the defense against the Faceless Man, or the fact that Daenerys got the outside information from nowhere, it fully exposed Ian's current shortcomings in information acquisition capabilities.

His current method of obtaining information mainly relies on his own skin-changer ability to investigate through animal forms. This method has already made him feel stretched just in the little Astapor.

Ian couldn't imagine how much trouble he would face after taking Meereen, so he began to think about how he would use to establish an organization similar to Varys' little bird or Illyrio's little mouse.

While pondering, he found himself at the door of Daenerys' room.

"Please come in, my lord." Another A-level knight Mundo who was guarding the door said immediately after seeing Ian.

"Don't you need to report first?"
