"We're not part of the Golden Corps. Do you want us to cut off the former leader's job? You do it yourself!" Damon Sand pulled out the dagger from his waist and threw it to Harry Strickland.
Harry Strickland's face changed, and he could only bite the bullet and start cutting and peeling with the dagger.
Werther took a boat to the foot of the Titan. When he came to Braavos, he saw that the giant was actually a military fortress. The interior was hollow and there was a passage to go up to the top of the giant.
The soldiers stationed here saw Werther approaching and wanted to stop him, but were quickly pulled away by several officers.
The officers had already received the news that the flame storm was what Werther did, and that Aquaman was assassinated by his bodyguards, and the city was in chaos.Now that a few big soldiers dare to stop Werther, I am afraid that the Titans will have to become fire giants by then.
The officers gave a noble salute to Werther, and pulled the soldiers to make way for Werther.
"Master Witte, do you need to lead the way?"
Werther stopped, and upon hearing this somewhat familiar sentence, he felt that the officer was very kind.
"please!"
With the officer leading the way, Werther successfully entered the inside of the giant.The inside is a military fortress with many traps, and a large number of soldiers guard it. The giant stands on the only large ship in Braavos. If you defend the giant, you will defend Braavos.
After walking through countless winding and winding stairs, and finally reached the position of the giant's eyes, the officer was exhausted.
"Go and rest first, I will go down by myself then."
"Thank you Sir Witte, I asked the attendants to bring some food up." Except for the two braziers that were made of stone, there was nothing that could be damaged, so the officer went down to rest in peace.
Werther grabbed the giant's eye sockets, jumped out of the giant's eyes, and climbed onto the giant's helmet in two steps.
The high sea breeze is strong, holding the decoration in the middle of the giant's helmet, looking at the city of Braavos at night, this feels good!
Werther was pulling out the Dark Sisters, and carved a few more words on the giant's helmet: Werther Baratheon is here to visit.
On a ship not far from the giant, Oberon, Nymeria, and Tyene were all chatting about what happened tonight on the deck, and the entire city probably couldn't fall asleep.
Tyene suddenly pointed at the top of the titan's head: "Look, is there Werther on top of the giant's head?"
Several people looked over, although it was dark, but because of the function of a lighthouse above the giant's head, there was still some light in some places.
Nymeria: "That's him! I bought this dress for him in Mill City, and his movements, you can recognize him at a glance."
Oberon: "Then why is he taking off his pants?"
Chapter 84 The Silt Town Project
Werther deeply understood the essence of the great sage's spirit, and urinated on the place where the giant's head was engraved.
On Oberon's boat, a dozen Dornish soldiers held torches and began to wave them. Werther put on his pants, and the boats below were densely packed, but it was easy to spot the boat with the torches shaking. After a closer look, he confirmed that Nymeli was on board. Ya et al.
Walked to the highest point of the giant's helmet, looked at the direction, and jumped.
A person jumped off the head of the giant titan, and many people on the nearby boats saw it. The giant titan is a military fortress. If someone wants to jump into the sea and commit suicide, they will not be able to get in. Now that they see one, they all look at this, wanting to see him How did he die when he fell into the sea.
It's a pity that Werther has magic. When he fell to the height of the giant's knee, the wind magic began to take effect, and Werther glides and landed on the Oberon ship.
"Seeing you jumping down, I was so worried!" Nymeria rushed over and hugged Werther.
Werther patted her on the shoulder to comfort her: "I'm fine, isn't this good!"
Tyene also came over and stretched out her hands to hug Werther.
"Wait a minute, Tyene, let me ask you, when will my red skin fade away!"
"Well, I haven't drank the recovery potion, so I don't know." Werther didn't hug her, and Tyene felt a little wronged.
Nymeria reached out and touched Werther's red face: "The potion the Magic Mountain drank back then was poison. He was blue all over, and the effect was still there after he was beheaded from King's Landing to Dorne. The two people captured in Myr, Tyene It is said that the effect can last at least a month.”
Tyene took Werther's hand and carefully observed Werther's red skin: "No, the poison they took was that I deliberately reduced the potency and increased the duration, and what Werther drank is the most potent drug I can make so far. The stronger the potion, the stronger the effect, the duration should not be long.”
"Red Devil of Braavos! Go take a bath in the cabin first and see if it works!" Oberon looked at several people and couldn't help complaining.
"Yes, yes, wash it first!" Tyene pulled Werther into the cabin.
Nymeria touched Werther's chest while walking: "The red devil is very good."
On the second day, the law and order in Braavos stabilized, and various nobles and wealthy merchants gathered in the Sea King Hall to discuss the election of the next Sea King.Regarding the death of the previous Aquaman, everyone said that it was his bodyguard who conspired against him.
In addition to the selection of Aquaman, another important matter is to discuss how to seek compensation from Werther Baratheon. It is clear that Werther used magic to destroy Silt Town, but every nobleman only talked about finding Werther. Compensation, one voice was louder than one, the meeting lasted until dark, no one dared to sign the compensation agreement as a representative of Braavos.
The nobles also felt that although the snatcher Quilo Valentine committed a felony, the only good thing he did was to evacuate the residents of Silt Town ahead of time. Those who died there were all members of the Golden Group. The culprit was dead. The Rafflesians suffered no casualties either.
In the end, everyone negotiated that the gold group involved in the incident would contribute a share of the funds, and the nobles and wealthy businessmen would contribute another share to build a new high-end residential area on the ruins of Silt Town. The original residents can get some compensation and can add more money If you buy a new residential complex, you can also live elsewhere.
Sir Harry Strickland, the new head of the Golden Group, expressed sympathy for the residents who had lost their homes, admitted the fault of the Golden Group, and quickly handed over the funds.
After hearing Oberon talk about this matter on the ship, Werther admired the shamelessness of these nobles and merchants.
"Co-authored and I helped them do the work of demolishing the slums!"
"His Royal Highness, Prince Oberon, please donate a share of the funds in my name to participate in the reconstruction plan! They will make up a reason to give me the share, and I will share it with you when they earn money."
"Do you have this much money? It's not a small sum." Oberon asked.
"Since yesterday, I should be on the list of high-quality customers at Iron Bank."
"You don't need to give me the money, it's just a small matter. I'll find someone to help you." Oberon is a prince after all, and it's embarrassing to collect money for his son-in-law.After speaking, I left the cabin to make arrangements.
When Werther heard Oberon talk about arranging someone, he realized that Damon Shad, who usually followed Oberon, hadn't seen him in the past two days.
When Oberon traveled on behalf of Dorne, intelligence officers, clerks and other officials were fully equipped. Werther had also seen them handle the affairs of Dorne and Braavos, but Damon Shad was just a servant knight, If he didn't return for two days, he couldn't do anything with his identity, and soldiers would do errands for him, so there was a problem. Werther had a crush on Damon Shad.
The city of Braavos has existed for thousands of years, and there is already a very mature process for electing the Sea King, which can be elected in two weeks. The local nobles and wealthy merchants also invited Oberon and Werther to attend the inauguration ceremony as witnesses .
Werther hid on the boat and didn't go anywhere. He was researching the problem of skin fading with Tyene and Nymeria. During this time, he was fed a lot of messy things by the two of them, and he lost a lot of weight.
What happened in Braavos City, after the situation subsided in the past few days, countless ravens flew out from Braavos, and the news spread quickly across the eastern and western continents.
~~~
King's Landing in Westeros.
The positions of Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance are vacant. Littlefinger Baelish was recommended by Jon Arryn, and today he was honored to attend the imperial meeting as an observer.
Baelish changed into luxurious but unassuming clothes, and sprayed on the best and most expensive perfume in King's Landing. He greeted everyone cordially in the Red Castle. He was very good at talking, and everyone who talked to him People will be flattered by him subtly, everyone is very happy, and some well-informed people have already congratulated him in advance.
At the entrance of the meeting room in front of the Red Castle, Baelish straightened his collar and nodded to Kingsguard Lynn Corbray. Lynn Corbray smiled at him and opened the door of the meeting room.
Although it was the first time for Baelish to enter the imperial meeting room, he seemed very calm. Seeing that all the ministers had arrived except Robert, he saluted everyone and found a side gallery to sit down.There were a few nobles in the auditorium, and he also greeted them friendly, because these are today's foils.
Not long after, Robert came in with Barristan and Renly. Besides the king, Barristan was the captain of the Kingsguard, and Renly was the deputy chief archmage. After Li Xi saluted the king, he also saluted the two.
But then another person came in, the Guardian of the South from Highgarden: Duke Mace Tyrell, Baelish turned to look at Varys who was sitting on the conference table, Varys also showed him a puzzled expression.
Chapter 85 The Wind Rises Again
The content of today's meeting is very clear. Vote for several candidates to fill the vacancies of Minister of Justice and Minister of Finance.
The first is the Minister of Justice. This position is basically a idle job. Major matters are determined by the king, and minor matters are determined by the prime minister. The laws of the country have not changed much for hundreds of years.
Nominated by Robert: Lord Matus Rowan of Goldtree in the Reach, and nominated by Jon Arryn: Lord Renly Baratheon of Storm's End.There are two candidates.
In the end, Renly had five votes and Matus had four votes. Renly narrowly defeated Matus and won the position of Minister of Justice.
Originally, Robert wanted Renly to be Chancellor of the Exchequer. With Renly's current earning power, no one except Werther could match him, but Renly thought it was too tiring. Anyway, the Minister of Justice also has the right to vote. up.So Renly recommended Mace Tyrell to Robert.
Due to the huge amount of sugarcane production in the Reach, Mace Tyrell, in the name of his uncle Garth Tyrell, has built large toilet paper workshops in various places, except for a few places where he keeps his own toilet paper. It has almost monopolized the high-end and low-end toilet paper in the seven countries at a low cost.
Many people have not noticed how profitable this white and cheap toilet paper is. Mace Tyrell secretly accumulated a lot of wealth.
The job of the chancellor of finance, besides operating the kingdom's industry to earn money, is to lend money when there is no money.
There are also two candidates for the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Mace Tyrell from Highgarden in the Reach, and Petyr Baelish from the Baelish family of the Finger Peninsula.
Petyr Baelish had spent a lot of money to get Jon Arryn of the Vale to nominate him this time, and he thought he was sure of winning.
Petyr Baelish was one of the few people who figured out how much money Mace Tyrell earned, and he was very confused when he came in. According to the information provided by Varys, Mace Tyrell did not Interested and timed to come to King's Landing, Varys also arranged a few minor incidents in his workshop to ensure that Mace Tyrell couldn't come to King's Landing.
Littlefinger's thoughts began to turn: "What else do I have to do when he comes? Mace Tyrell might have been pre-determined by the imperial council, and my nomination was just submitted by Jon Arryn to make up the numbers."
As expected, with six votes for Mace Tyrell and three for Littlefinger, Mace Tyrell became the new Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The first business of the council was done, and Robert ordered the servants to bring in some rum and cakes.
Still smiling, Littlefinger congratulated Renly and Lord Mace warmly.
"Sorry, I won in the end, hahaha." Mace Tyrell was very happy, smiling from ear to ear.
"It doesn't matter, I also serve the kingdom in King's Landing." Littlefinger's expression looked very natural.
Robert clapped his hands, signaling that it was time for a break, and Littlefinger and Ser Rowan left.The imperial meeting will proceed with the second topic.
Jon Arryn spoke first: "Your Majesty, Princess Arianne of Dorne is sick now, and the female family members of the other dukes are either too old or too young. Robert's new queen can't wait a few years. , can only be chosen among other nobles.”
The newly appointed Minister of Finance, Lord Mace, said: "Desmera Redwyne of the Redwyne family has already had her period, so she can be one of the candidates."
He must recommend the family in the River Bend, and it is also from his mother's family.
Renly, the new Minister of Justice, played with his fingers: "My lord, the Duke of Mace, let's forget about Desmela. I just saw her when I went to the Arbor Island. The future queen can't be full of freckles!"
The Duke of Mace also knew that he didn't say anything. He actually still had a few candidates to announce. Now that he looked at Renly, the other party would definitely recommend candidates. This is a matter that is being debated across the country.
Jon Arryn: "I recommend Jessie Hunter of the Hunter family in Longbow Hall in the valley. She is just at the best age for childbearing."
Robert was very annoyed by this, it seemed to be all minor nobles, with a few dukes behind them.
"You write their names, ages, and information on paper, and then tell them to come to King's Landing. I'll hold a banquet, and I'll choose it myself." Robert did it in the way he was most familiar with. .
When everyone saw Robert saying this, they didn't answer. He is the king and he has the final say.I intend to end the imperial meeting and prepare to leave.
Robert touched the table with his wine glass, motioning them to stay.
"This morning, some young sailors came to the Red Keep and sent me a letter."
After speaking, Robert took out the letter from his clothes and handed it to Prime Minister Jon Arryn next to him.
"The letter was sent by my younger brother Werther. I have already read the content. You guys should circulate it first, and we will talk after reading it."
Several people in the imperial meeting speeded up and read the letter.
Jon Arryn: "Your Majesty, if what the letter says is true, the Stepstone Islands have almost become Dorne's territory!"
Varys: "According to my information, the three city-states near the Stepstones are on the verge of war, and the Stepstones have become an unmanaged place, where pirates are quite rampant."
Renly: "I fully believe what my brother said in the letter. The Dornishmen are mercenaries one day and pirates the next. Now the Stormlands are looted by pirates every year, nearly fifty more ships than last year. If this continues, All our money has gone to the Dornishmen."
Robert: "The Dornish people have not surrendered to the Targaryen family for 300 years, and they only signed an armistice agreement with me. Their ambitions have never been.
Werther's letter said, in the name of the king, let Dorne send troops to clear up the pirates, with the fleet support of the kingdom, the Stormlands and the Reach, and completely return the Stepstone Islands to the kingdom. Do you think it is feasible? "
Duke of Mace: "I agree with both hands. The merchant ships in the Reach are constantly being robbed. The Stepstone Islands are so close to Dorne. Who else could it be?"
Varys spoke again: "As far as I know, Dorne's merchant fleet is rarely robbed by pirates."
Stannis also said: "In the past year, the caravans that hired the royal fleet to escort each time hired more than five warships, but there were also nine naval battles in the Stepstone Islands, all of which were fought against dozens of pirate ships. , the loss is relatively large.”
Robert: "It seems that everyone is very dissatisfied with the pirates, or the Dornish people. But if the three major fleets go out to defend against the Dornish people, the country will be empty."
Jon Arryn: "Ed in the north can be stationed in part of the troops in the riverlands and the royal territory to stabilize those who have evil intentions."
"And the Lannister family's navy must also go out together. They are the ones I worry about the most." Renly was tricked by Tywin once, and he always has a grudge.
Chapter 86 What is the secret
Robert's interest came as soon as he talked about war.
"This matter cannot be settled now. All ministers have calculated the troops that can be dispatched and the supplies that need to be consumed. Once a war starts, you can only win but not lose! Whoever participates in the war will benefit, and the benefits of not participating will be revolving. not to them."
Stannis: "This is equivalent to mobilizing the manpower and resources of the entire Seven Kingdoms. It will take at least half a year for our personnel to assemble and supplies in place."
Jon Arryn: "Grand Maester Pycelle, you send letters to the West, the North and Dorne first, especially the West and Dorne. Let's find out what they have to say first."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"The Duke of the Stormlands and the Duke of the Reach clearly support the dispatch of troops. Please count the sources of troops and supplies in the territory first. The Valley I represent has very little shipping, and I have not suffered any losses in the Stepstone Islands area. , in principle, remain neutral on the matter of dispatching troops first.”
Jon Arryn looked at Robert again.
"The shipping in the valley is underdeveloped, and the army is mainly composed of knights. Like the soldiers in the northern border, most of them are not good at water warfare, and they are not very useful in naval battles on the Stone Step Islands. However, they can be stationed in the royal area to maintain law and order. "
Robert trusted this adoptive father very much, and had told him about the mess with Tywin in private.
Robert: "Stannis, hurry up and train the Royal Fleet, Varys, from now on, you need to collect more information on the Stepstone Islands and Dorne. Renly and Duke of Mace, you two are deeply infested by pirates, The main force this time depends on you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
