Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 56 The Abandoned Fishing Village

"And you really found it?" Ian asked.

"No, none of the people we sent to work around Whitewall City gained anything," Wilder shook his head, "On the contrary, my son Roger had a pleasant surprise.
That was about ten days ago, and he returned from Silent Island with four of his subordinates, and he went to the island to confess." Sir Wilde paused, and did not continue to talk about the issue of confession.

Ian knows this quiet island. It is said that a saint visited this island 2000 years ago and created many holy sites after living on it. Therefore, people often visit this island for confession or prayer.

"In short," Sir Wilde continued, "Roger rowed back from the Silent Island and came to the abandoned fishing village. After landing, he met a group of people in the fishing village, the leader of which was a knight.

Roger passed them by, and there was no intersection between the two sides, but the moment Roger walked past the knight, he found that the knight had no forearm in his right hand. "

"I remember that when you fought against the ghost knight in Whitewall City, you cut off the forearm of the opponent's right hand, right?" Ian immediately remembered this matter.

"That's right! Wait, when did I tell you about this?" Wilde asked in surprise.

"It's not important," Ian urged, shaking his head, "Go on, go on."

"Roger was suspicious at the time, but he didn't dare to act rashly, because he was not wearing armor at the time, and the opponent had a total of seven players, he thought he had no chance of winning.

After Roger left the abandoned fishing village, he left two of his men to guard the area, and he rushed to Viri's manor immediately. As I said before, the abandoned fishing village is only 6 leagues away from here. I was here at the time, Hearing Roger's news, we immediately gathered more than 10 people and rushed to the fishing village with Roger.

However, before we arrived, we met one of the two people left by Roger on the road. He hurried to report to us that a caravan of more than 20 people had entered the abandoned fishing village. And the people inside will be together. "

"How could there be a normal caravan going to the abandoned fishing village?" Ian began to believe in Sir Wilder's judgment.

"Yes, at that time I judged that it was the ghost team of White Wall City, and they were transferring the Blackfyre treasure to that fishing village." Sir Wilde nodded, "This is an excellent opportunity, and we We didn't have enough troops to attack the opponent, so we didn't dare to continue to advance to the fishing village, because we were worried that we would startle the enemy.

So I simply let Sir Willy wait there with the guards, and let Roger take me to the vicinity of the abandoned fishing village.We found a hidden location to observe those people in the fishing village, hoping to find some ways to break the situation. After Wilde finished speaking, he looked at Ian.

"What are you looking at me for? Go ahead." Ian said strangely.

"Oh, Sir Lucian, I just thought you would have some unique insights." After Wilde finished speaking, he also smiled.

"Go on, my friend, go on."

"In the fishing village, there are more than 30 people under the knight and the caravan. We have no chance of winning in a direct fight. Moreover, since they have arrived there, it means that at least one boat will come to pick them up. Our odds are even smaller.

I was almost in despair.

However, just when I thought we just missed the treasure, the caravan came out again!They left the abandoned fishing village and headed west, towards the direction of the King's Road. "

"They didn't manage to transport the treasure all at once?" Ian's first reaction was this.

"Yes, I have exactly the same judgment as you."

"You said it was a caravan of more than 20 people. How many carts did they have?"

"Seven? Or eight? Anyway, that's a huge team."

"Then here comes the question, what we call the Blackfyre Treasure is not left by Damon Blackfyre, but only by Ambrose Butterway, Earl of Whitewall City. How much money can he leave behind? Even 10 golden dragons weigh just over 1600 pounds, so they can be easily shipped out in two and a half boxes.”

"Seven gods, how could the Earl of Whitewall City find so much gold so easily? Most of the treasures he left behind should be silver stags, right?" Sir Wilder rolled his eyes, Made!As expected of a member of the Lannister family who can pull out gold in shit, have you never seen silver in your life?

Also, 10 golden dragons?How dare you think!If there is a treasure worth 10 to [-] gold dragons, it will already be blessed by the Seven Gods. As for [-]?Why don't you go home and let Lord Tywin pull it for you? !

"Ah" Ian raised his forehead in embarrassment. It was all because the system sent him 3000 gold dragons at once, which made him subconsciously treat gold dragons as ordinary currency.
Well, if the treasure is a silver deer or even a copper coin, such a caravan would need to be divided several times to complete the transfer of the treasure. After all, the exchange ratio between gold dragons and silver deer in this world has reached an astonishing 1:210.

But why do I still feel that something is wrong?Ian asked himself in his heart, but after thinking for a while, he couldn't find a clue, so he gave up again, "Go on, sir."

"Did you think of something just now?" Sir Wilder noticed Ian's expression. He now attaches great importance to Ian's opinion, just as he has always attached great importance to the opinions of 'Black Falcon' and Sir Simon.

For my own brain, I usually listen to what people with easy-to-use brains have to say. This is the experience he has summed up after living most of his life.

"No," Ian shook his head, "I just feel that something is wrong, but I haven't figured it out yet, don't worry, if I think of anything, I will tell you as soon as possible."

"Go on, Sir Wilder, finish your story first." Ian urged again.

"Okay, okay," Wilde nodded, "When I realized that the other party hadn't been able to transfer the treasure all at once, I came up with two ideas, one is to immediately attack the abandoned fishing village and snatch the treasure that has been taken away. Transport to the treasure, and the second is to send people to follow the caravan and find where they hide the treasure."

"However, you didn't choose any of them." Ian continued, if you chose, then your action would not wait until now.

"You really know everything, it's like an old woman descending to earth." Sir Wilde sighed.

"Believe me, I'd rather hear the praise of a warrior descending to earth." Ian rolled his eyes, "Go on, I think your story is almost over, isn't it?"

"Yes, as you said, I didn't choose either of the two options, because we won't be able to get the complete treasure once we startle the snake."

Notes: 1. The old woman, one of the seven gods in the belief of the Andals, symbolizes wisdom, and its image is an old woman holding a lamp.
