Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 86 The Prisoner of Bronn

With a straw in his mouth, Bronn threw a big cloth bag to Ian's feet, then squatted down and pushed away the rotten leaves on the cloth bag, and dragged out a bound man from the bag. .

"Who is this?" Ian needed an explanation.

"You don't know?" This time it was Bronn's turn to be surprised, but soon, Bronn added, "That's right, it's normal for the captain's son not to know an ordinary mercenary," Bronn said, Pulling the prisoner's hair to make him look at Ian, "Should you know him?" he asked the prisoner.

I really know a ghost!The prisoner looked at Ian with a blank expression on his face.

"Oh, man, it's your fault for playing dumb," Bronn said with a cruel smile. "You were so happy when you just surrendered."

"Enough," Ian interrupted the two, "Don't play charades in front of me, just tell me, who is he?"

"Rebel mercenaries on your ship," Bronn replied.

Can this hell come out of nothing?Ian was a little confused: "How did you see it?"

"I was in a flea nest investigating the origin of the 'Curse of the Stranger' and I happened to meet this friend," said Bronn, influenced by Ian's penchant for saying 'my friend'. refer to anyone as a 'friend',
"He was asking the innkeeper I was going to find if there were any [relics] related to [death] in the [underground] nearby, and I just heard it from a distance..."

The player who bought the third clue!Ian instantly came to a conclusion.

"At that time, my first reaction was that he was a subordinate of your chief mate. After all, your clues were all given to you by your first mate in a letter. You said before that you could no longer contact you. The first mate was gone, so I chose to follow him.

This guy's concealment ability is quite strong. He was out of my sight for a while, but fortunately, I finally caught him in a corner where no one was around.

But when I mentioned your Laughing Lion to him and asked him about the mate, he chose to play dumb.

So I gave some more information, and when I got to the chest and the Valyrian steel sword, he suddenly started begging for mercy.

Only then did I know that he was not a subordinate of your first officer, but a member of those rebel mercenaries.

Moreover, those mercenaries were fighting among themselves, and they were also looking for those accomplices who got the treasure chest. ’ Bronn spoke to his conclusions.

If it wasn't inappropriate, Ian would have wanted to applaud Bronn, this brain power
But okay, since your existence can help me perfectly lie, then it is not in vain for you to come to the world of ice and fire.

"So, traitor, do you have anything else to say?" Ian looked at the captive player.

The captive player didn't know what to say for a while. When Bronn captured him, he thought that Bronn was a player, but now he heard the conversation between the two, and he realized that this guy who claimed to be the son of the captain of the Laughing Lion It is the real mastermind behind the scenes.

"Well, since you have no last words, then..." Ian said as he drew his sword and walked towards the unlucky player. If possible, he still prefers to do it himself to get the full reward.
"In the name of Robert I Baratheon, King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Warden of the Realm, and Ser Jillian Lannister, Captain of the Laughing Lion In name, I, Lucian Lannister, sentence you to death for treason."

"Wait, sir, wait," the prisoner begged for mercy, not expecting that the other party would strike immediately, "I surrender, let me go, me...can we talk alone?"

"Okay," Ian raised his eyebrows, and then ordered the people around him, "Stand back...you two stay."

Ian's last sentence was to Rolle and Case. Even if the opponent's hands and feet were tied, he did not intend to be alone with a hostile player.

It wasn't until Bronn and the others left that Ian said, "Tell me, what are you going to say to me alone?"

"They?" The captive looked at the two of Luo Er hesitantly.

"They are my NPCs, you can ignore them."

"Are you the player who got the 'First Blood'?" the captive asked in surprise.

"Now is the time for you to show me your worth, my friend."

"Do you have allies?"

"No." Ian shook his head and told the truth.

"As expected of a player who has grabbed 'First Blood', he can develop such a huge power by himself." The prisoner sighed, and then said excitedly,

"I would like to invite you to join our alliance. There are three of us. We are very powerful now. If we add you, we can almost book the winner!"

Book a $25 victory for one person?For this little money, we will come to a different world to die?Do you believe it yourself? "Oh?" Ian pretended to be very excited, "Where are your other allies?"

"No, sir," the prisoner squeezed out a smile, "Only if you join our alliance first, can I tell you the situation of other allies, otherwise my whistleblowing behavior will be regarded as a backstab ally by the system, I can't afford it." This loss."

"So, you still have a lot of points?" Ian smiled.

The prisoner's expression changed immediately, but he couldn't deny it after saying this: "Yes, there are quite a few more."

"After buying the third clue, there are still a lot of points left. Your alliance has eliminated a lot of players."

The prisoner didn't answer any more, and his intuition told him that this 'Sir Lucian' had no intention of forming an alliance.

"If my guess is correct, you are the winners of the first stage of the player competition in Pentos, right? By casting a net near Illyrio's mansion, you eliminated many players who carelessly wanted to join Dragon Mama? Maybe he also completed a complicated optional task and got a lot of points?"

The prisoner remained silent, but the constant cold sweat on his forehead still betrayed the fear in his heart.

"And you came to King's Landing this time, not on the same boat. You divided into two groups. Your two allies led your main force to Sister of Silence Street and stayed there to attract other players. attention, and you are secretly investigating the whereabouts of the treasure chest through those few clues in the flea nest?"

"You? You..." The prisoner wanted to say something, but he couldn't say it.

"It's impossible for me to join a four-man alliance. You should know that it's a joke to come to this damn place for 25 dollars, if you can't show me your other values." Ian touched the hilt of the sword again.

"I know where the treasure chest is." Unexpectedly, this time the captive spoke directly.

"What did you say?"

"I can tell you the location of the treasure chest, but you must first agree to my terms."

"You are not qualified to make conditions with me."
