Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

"5000 Golden Dragon! Hey, unfortunately I don't recognize his face."

"Haha, Littlefinger used to be a middle-level official in King's Landing, which a pork dealer like you can't see."

"Duke Witt patted me on the shoulder, and I personally pulled a few pigs and fed them to the dragon. My knowledge is beyond yours, haha."

Seeing that the commotion stopped, the troubadour continued: "The first ones are two people side by side, a pair of brothers and sisters. On the eve of the decisive battle of the Stone Steps Islands, they were murdered in the street outside the hall where the king and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms were meeting. Ser Heras Harlaw of the Iron Islands, and snatched the Valyrian steel sword Nightfall. The king offered 2000 gold dragons, and the Harlow family offered 5000 gold dragons to bring back the Nightfall sword, sister Asha Gray Joey and his younger brother Theon Greyjoy! They are the most wanted men in the seven nations!"

"The two in front are people who don't want to die, and the Greyjoy siblings are worthy of the title of fierce men."

"I heard from the Ironborn of the Royal Fleet that the Valyrian steel sword seemed to belong to the Greyjoy family. The two brothers and sisters tried to seize the heirloom after negotiating with each other to no avail. I admire the courage. These two siblings, it’s just that they are stupid, how could they act at a critical moment in the war, and it’s no wonder they weren’t wanted.”

"But the two have fled to Essos, and there has been no news for a long time. They may hide there for a lifetime."

Chapter 180 Three Going South and Going North

Robb Stark led fifteen Winterfell knights all the way south to hunt down Ramsay Snow.

Accompanying him is his 10-year-old sister Alia Stark. There is such a cruel villain in the north who specializes in killing women. Alia Stark is going to study at the magic school in King's Landing. Worried about her safety, he gave Robb Stark the task of escorting her south.

Greywaterwatch City is already the southernmost part of the northern border, on the edge of the Neck. Robb led his men to check the passing crowd at the south exit of Greywaterwatch. Each knight held a copy of Ramsay Snow in his hand. The portraits of the people who come and go are checked one by one.

Meera Reed, the daughter of Lord Greywaterwatch, and two knights from the Reed family are also preparing to join Robb's pursuit.

Robb: "We were ordered to hunt down villains, Meera, what are you doing here?"

Meera Reed: "I'm going to King's Landing to visit my younger brother. I'll help you find someone along the way. We have three hounds."

The fathers of the two, Ed and Howland Reed, were the two who survived the Battle of the Tower of Joy, and they had a lifelong friendship. Robb and Meera met when they were young, and they were very familiar.

Watching the three hounds she pulled on the rope kept yelling at Arya Stark, and Arya Stark tried to drive away with the dagger.

Robb: "Then you have to be careful, this villain is very cruel and cunning, and take the hound away first, there are five little dire wolf cubs in the little basket on my sister's back!"

Meera Reed asked two dog-training knights to take the hounds away, walked to Alia and lifted the cover of the small basket. There were several fluffy things in it, and she looked up at her: "The ice field Wolf? Robb, why are there direwolves south of the Wall?"

While observing the passers-by, Robb replied to Meera's words: "My father said that winter is coming, and many animals are going south. Now there are more livestock in the north, and the mother of this litter of direwolves is quietly hiding under the walls of Winterfell." After settling down at home, he gave birth to a litter of pups in the cave. There were a lot of livestock in Winterfell, so it just lingered. The herdsmen didn’t realize it at first, but later they found that the number of livestock was much less. My father sent someone to investigate, and my mother The litter of pups stayed after the wolves escaped."

Meera Reed: "You guys are so big, you dare to raise direwolves! Aren't you afraid of hurting people?"

Aliya took the lead: "The Baratheon family even dares to raise a 200-meter-long dragon. What is this furry direwolf! And Master Renly said that we have the talent of shapechangers in our blood, so we should raise one." Predatory beasts are helpful for the development of talents, my father originally wanted to raise even the female wolf, but the female wolf ran away, leaving only a few wolf cubs.”

Robb: "Little wolf cubs, we have one for each of our brothers and sisters, which is just enough. Among the five are my and Arya's, and Sansa, Jon and Ashara's, and there are also in Winterfell. How many."

The Li De family is proficient in hunting, is good at using bows and arrows, and domesticating hounds. They are very good at raising puppies. She took a cloth bag from her waist and handed it to Alia: "This is a small piece of dried meat. You can tear it up and feed it to the pups." Wolves eat."

While several people were talking, a carriage pulling the feces of residents in the city slowly drove out of the city.

This kind of carriage is very easy to hide people. When Robb saw it, he drew the long sword on his waist and shouted: "Stop them!"

The structure of the wagon for pulling goods is different from that for pulling dung. The cargo box of the wagon for pulling dung is nailed with wooden boards, leaving only two openings at the top and bottom. Stuck, when you get to the wild, you can release the feces inside by pulling the wooden board away.

Several civilian husbands raised their hands in fright when they saw the heavily armed knights approaching.

"My lord, we haven't done anything bad!" The men who work in the excrement industry have their faces covered with coarse cloth, and those who can cover their faces in the city during the day, except for them, have only the silence of disposing of the dead body sisters.

Robb and his party took the arrest warrants and tore off their masks one by one for comparison. These people were very thin and had a disheveled face, completely different from Ramsay Snow.

"Check the wagon!" Robb ordered without giving up, jumping himself onto the top of the wagon cargo box.

The knights got down to check the bottom of the car, and some checked the storage compartment under the driver's seat, but they found no trace of anyone.

Robb picked open the top cover of the cargo box with his sword, and there were lumps of yellow, green and green things floating inside, as well as steaming feces.

"Let them go."

There were still plenty of wagons to check around, and Robb had given up on the dung wagon as well.

Waiting for the dung-drawing carriage to start again, after a long time away from Huishui Wangcheng.A reed stalk gently swayed in the gap on the top of the cargo box. Ramsay Snow stuck his head out of the dung in the cargo box. The hollow reed stalk was connected to his mouth, and Ramsay pulled it off with his hands. The shit stuck to the eyes, the dagger drawn from the leg and ready to climb out of the carriage.

The Night King has been reminiscing, reminiscing about what the other White Walkers told him so many years ago.

The White Walkers rode their exclusive mounts, ice spiders, galloping across the snowfields of the Northland, fighting with different races.

The White Walkers were scattered by the Night King, and those who were close to the human settlements were ordered not to attack humans, and only urged humans to donate more babies.

The Night King understood a truth. Simple ghouls can only rely on numbers to fight against ordinary humans. To deal with magicians, they can only be solved by other ghosts who also have magic.

The White Walkers are afraid of obsidian and Valyrian steel weapons, but humans can kill even a stone or a wooden club, and their weaknesses are more obvious.Humans have metal armor, and the White Walkers have ice armor.Every White Walker can use magic. The only disadvantage is that they have relatively poor athletic ability. They can only burst out powerful and agile athletic ability in a short period of time. After that, their bodies will be frozen for a long time and their movements will be slow.

If there is an ice spider, it will greatly make up for the shortcomings of the White Walker's lack of athletic ability.

The Night King walked north alone, and the other ghosts scattered to the north with the ghosts. The night king communicated with the ghosts from a distance through his magic, and the scattered search team gradually moved towards the extreme north. deep.

There is no coniferous forest in the extreme north, but there are many animals living here. They all have snow-white fur and are very good at hiding.A White Walker braved the wind and snow to climb a rocky hillside. The risk did not block the White Walker's sight. Here it could look into the distance and find its way further north.

After it identified the direction, it was about to walk, but found that its right foot was stuck to something and could not move it.It swiped at the ground with its icy spear. The place where its right foot stepped was not a rock at all, but the ground woven with spider silk. The gray-black surface was camouflage, and this was the web used by spiders to prey.

The Night King also watched here through a magical connection, and found a spider web. Even if he couldn't find a live ice spider, he could resurrect it as a mount if he found a corpse.Before long, all the White Walkers began to gather in the direction of the Night King.

Chapter 180 Development of the Stone Step Islands

"Ruins" Duke Werther Baratheon announced that he would auction a brand new Valyrian steel sword in Tyrosh City. The nobles of money are all ready to go.

Buying goods in the form of an auction is common in the Slave Bay area to buy slaves. The nine major trading city-states are rarely carried out because they are hostile to each other. In the thousands of years of history in Westeros, auctions can count on the fingers of one hand. have to come.

Houses that already have Valyrian steel swords will not be participating, but are keen to keep an eye on the final auction price.In the past, they were all one-to-one private transactions, ranging from tens of thousands of gold dragons to hundreds of thousands of gold dragons, and the prices were very opaque.The higher the price of this auction, the more face it will have for its own sword, and it can also set a public benchmark price for the Valyrian steel sword.

Those who decided to leave for Tyrosh, the nobles with little money at home wanted to see something new, some middle-level nobles wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with higher-level dignitaries, and there were not many nobles who really had the strength to buy.

Lord Mace Tyrell of Highgarden had arrived in Tyrosh ahead of time, and was wandering around the city with his son Garlan Tyrell, Earl of Bloodstone Harbor.

"I'm still not used to it. I always feel scared and panicked. Look! It's looking at it again!" Mace Tyrell said to his son beside him. Huge blue magic eyeballs, it feels more comfortable to unbutton one of the neckline buttons.

Garland: "Father, Duke Witt is the most powerful magician. He often creates novel things. You will get used to it after staying for a few more days."

Mace: "Now we go outside the south city?"

Garland: "There are tent areas where slaves live outside the south city. I'm going to the Duke's Castle for a meeting. Father can come and listen in."

Tylosian City is now a large construction site, full of construction scenes in full swing, a large number of slaves from Volantis are under construction, and the whole city is filled with the sound of clanging stones.

There are two buildings that were completed first, the clock tower in the main city and the "Eye of Werther" lighthouse at the highest point in the city. One of these two buildings is used to determine the time for the city people, and the other is to guide the ship. After these two buildings were repaired, they spread out to build other facilities.

Wasn't the "Eye of Werther" originally like this? After the lighthouse was repaired, Werther issued a notice to let everyone watch the first lighting effect on time after dinner.

Werther went to the bottom of the lighthouse after eating a full meal, and excitedly entered the magic power.The people in Tylosi City saw a huge eyeball appearing in the dark night sky. The blood-red magic power on the edge of the eyeball scatters around like flames, and the black vertical pupil in the middle is still turning continuously. Everyone in the city, when people look at the eyeballs, it feels like their souls are being sucked into the eyeballs.

The result was obvious, and Tylosi was immediately protested by everyone from the big lord to the working slaves. This thing is too scary!Everyone said that as long as they were caught in a glance, they would not be able to sleep for several days in a row!Even the birds flying in the sky were scared away.

In order not to affect the development, Werther had to make a compromise. In peacetime, the color of the eyeballs was changed to blue, and the pupils were changed to round.If there are unknown enemies near Tyroshi, it will be yellow, and it will be blood-red vertical pupils during the war, which will appease the people in the city.

After the lighthouse was built, Werther shut down the castle at the bottom first, and only built a few temporary huts near the lighthouse to live in, giving priority to building the blacksmith shop attached to the castle.

A temporary hut has been set up as a small meeting room, which can still accommodate dozens of people. Today Wirt convened all the vassals of the Stone Step Islands here to hold a development meeting.

After Garland entered, he sat down at the long conference table. The lords of the other islands were already seated. There were still many bachelors from the academy city on the chairs on both sides of the wall. Mace also randomly found a seat near the wall to sit down.

Werther sat in the first place, took out his pocket watch to check the time: "Okay, everyone is here, today's meeting begins, first of all, let me tell you that the Academy City has replaced all the bachelors in the Stone Step Islands with For young people, there are a few bachelors who may not be familiar with them, so you should get to know them first."

These bachelors belonged to the lords of each island. Originally, the academy sent the bachelors, some were old and some were young, but the Shijie Islands had to take a boat to travel everywhere. How could the old people bear this kind of toss, so Werther used himself The relationship with the upper echelons of the school city has replaced several older bachelors with young people.

Werther: "Okay, today I want to talk about one thing, how to develop our Stone Step Islands! Our place is in ruins, there are disadvantages and advantages. The advantage is that it is located in a traffic artery. As long as you plan properly, you can lie down and make money! The disadvantages That is, everything has to be started from scratch, and it will take at least two years to maintain a stable income!"

Hearing that you can make money while lying down, every lord began to listen attentively, and it really is a big benefit to mix with Werther!

"First, I will tell you how Tylosi will develop, and then I will tell you how each island develops."

Werther pointed to the map of the Stone Step Islands behind him:

"The inner city of Tylosi City is planned to be divided into several parts, the Duke's Castle, the Advanced Alchemy Workshop, and the Magic School. Except for the lighthouse that has been built, the Duke's Castle has no other facilities for the time being.

There are two alchemy workshops in Tylosi, one is the southernmost tip of Tylosi Island, where the research and development and production of "Wildfire" are mainly carried out. Because of the high danger, it should be far away from the main city, and there will be a military camp next to it for protection.The alchemy workshop next to the Duke's Castle in the inner city is used for the research and development of advanced alchemy items, and can also be used in conjunction with the teaching of the magic school.

I have already discussed the magic school with the king. There will be three magic schools in the Seven Kingdoms. Those with average magic talent can enter the school city to study, and the magic school in Junlin City with good talent will send out invitations.And Tyrossi's magic school only accepts people who have obtained the qualifications of magicians for more in-depth study and research. "

"very good!"

"In the future, there will be more and more magicians in Tyrosh."

As long as there is magic talent in the academy city, anyone can enroll.But the magic talent is too low. After learning magic all his life, he can only drink a cold glass of ice water. Werther didn't have the mind to take care of them in the early stage.When they graduate and obtain the qualifications of magicians, with the basic theoretical knowledge, they can serve the lords of various places, or come to Tylosi to continue their studies.At this time, no matter how bad they are, they can work part-time in the alchemy workshop to make money for Werther, and a very few brains get together quickly, and maybe they can research something.

The magic school in Junlin City implements an invitation system, recruiting students from aristocratic backgrounds or wealthy families, and ordinary children with good talents will also be invited.Let the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms let go of the estrangement between nobles and commoners in terms of ideology, and Werther has no ability to change their thinking at this time. Wait for another generation or a few generations, and wait for everyone's concept of magicians After the change, there may be a change.

Tyrosh's School of Magic is where further education is pursued.The magicians who graduated from the previous two schools have already obtained a good future, but some people still want to continue to study magic.At this stage, all the magic theories and applications of the Seven Kingdoms come from Werther alone, so he simply gathered these people in Tyrosh, so as not to run back and forth between the two sides of Tyrosh in King's Landing.

Originally, he planned to set another four-year study plan and give him the title of great magician after graduation.But now that magic has just emerged for a few years, there are still a small number of people who are really proficient in magic. After thinking about it, Werther gave up, lest some parallel imports will smash the magician's signboard.

Werther: "After talking about my own inner city, let's talk about the main city of Tylosi. The size of each of our islands is not big or small. It is not realistic to develop all agriculture, so we have to develop An industry with a small footprint and high value.

Tylosi will mainly produce watches, umbrellas, brewing wine, making weapons and armor, banking, and entrepot trade, supplemented by accommodation, catering, entertainment, and ship supplies. "

"What's an umbrella?" Garlan Tyrell asked.

Witt: "Umbrellas are a new product I have developed. Through this product, rainwater can be isolated from the human body. It is a high-tech!"

"Sounds like a tent."

Ashara muttered softly, bang~ a small ball of paper bounced on her head.

Chapter 180 Five Merchants Arrival

Werther: "Listen up, everyone, these existing products are related to your islands, and the production and supply of these things cannot be satisfied by a single city in Tyroshi.

Ashara Dayne and Andrew Esmond, the Gem Island and the Grove Hall Island of the two of you are relatively flat, and you are trying your best to plant fruit trees. The winery workshop in Tyrosh City will buy a large number of fruits you produce. How much will you produce in ten years? How much do I buy. "

"Understood." The two have obtained a stable property, and they can also engage in other things in normal times.

Werther went on to say: "Garlan Tyrell and Hobber Redwyne, Bloodstone Island and Abyss of Torture are two ship repair and supply places. In addition to producing canvas and ship nails, you two also need to build fine The processing workshop, orders for lightweight tarpaulins and small metal parts for umbrellas are all given to you, and there will be more in the future.”

"Yes, Duke Witte."

Witte: "Owen Velaryon and Gunthor Hightower, Seagull Island and Cancer Island are the two main development shipbuilding businesses."

Alwynn Velaryon asked, "Master Werther, with canvas and nails, good wood for shipbuilding is hard to come by."

Werther: "Buy it for money? I asked the two of you to build the ship because your territory is close to the disputed land. Why is it called the disputed land? It's because there is no owner there! You send people to land to cut down the trees. Who will snatch it? If anyone dares to rob you, draw your sword and cut them off! If you can’t beat them, come to me.”

"Yes, Duke Witte."

Werther: "However, you two sell the boats to other lords of the Stone Step Islands for a lower price."

Ovien Velaryon: "Of course, everyone lives in this archipelago. Wood doesn't cost money, so the price is guaranteed to be low, but please don't disclose the price to others!"

"It's easy to say, easy to say."

"Haha, if you are short of people to cut wood, we are short of boats if we have many people."

Werther asked everyone to be quiet: "I haven't finished yet, Allard Seaworth, your Storm Harbor and Tyrosh are both natural deep-water ports, suitable for entering and leaving large ships. You can build a large number of warehouses for rent, and you can do entrepot trade yourself." OK."

"As ordered."

Werther: "Baron Swann and Dickon Tarly, the two of you have the smallest fief and many mountains. In addition to planting some vegetables to maintain the residents' livelihood, all of them are planted with grass, and you raise goats and rabbits. You take the rabbit meat yourself. Go to sell, and I will collect the fur after preliminary processing. And goats, you know the food intake of Oda Viying, and now the breeding industry has not developed. On several islands near Tylosi, larger animals are eaten by it and become extinct. , now only the rats are left.”

"As ordered."

Werther: "Now we can't develop multiple industries in a blind spot at one time. We must first form a large-scale and standardized product on a certain product, and protect the legitimate rights and interests of artisans who have passed the test in the school city and hold certificates. In this way, even if there are competitors imitating, We also have price advantages and are not afraid of them occupying the market. We will expand in other directions after we have a pillar industry.

You can build hotels yourself according to the number of merchants coming and going, but you must guarantee the rights of guests!If conditions permit, meals and accommodation can be separated.I have already negotiated with the Academy, the Academy will build a bell tower and Raven Tower on each island, and the resident bachelor will still follow the old rules, and the lord will be responsible for life and daily expenses.

I don’t care about other places. Whoever wants to do entrepot trade here must reach a business alliance with the lord of the Stone Step Islands. Otherwise, I have imported a large amount of goods. cut prices. "

Werther's mouth was dry and he took a big sip of water.

"There are so many chores in the economy. Let's talk about other things. All islands must be patrolled by the army to prevent any small boats from landing on the islands. The pirates and fugitives caught, you will receive the rewards yourself. I will not tax the money and leave it to you. .

The northern sea area and the southern sea area, now two allies in the south are temporarily safe, and the patrols are strengthened to clear the northern pirates, while the southern area focuses on offshore defense. From time to time, I will go to the sea of ​​smoke to find hidden pirates.Rhys City no longer has a navy. The Volantis fleet is temporarily in an alliance with us, and the two navies should strengthen their ties.

Build more reservoirs and a variety of fruit trees. If you don't plant fruit trees, plant palms and coconuts in the open space. "

Garlan Tyrell recorded it in a small notebook, and when he heard Werther was silent, he asked, "Is there anything else that needs to be explained?"

Witt: "Build more cesspools, send more people to clean up the streets, and improve the environment everywhere! I will hold this kind of development meeting every five years in the future. Everyone will develop together and become prosperous together. In addition, there are more than one people here. They are the lords of the islands, and they all have positions in Tylosi. Merchants from all over the country will arrive one after another in a few days. I will train you again and teach you how to let these merchants develop and do business with you.”

A few days later, nobles from the Seven Kingdoms, Volantis, Lys, and a few from Myr and Pentos all gathered in Tyrosh.

As soon as the ship landed at the port, everyone dressed luxuriously, regardless of gender, was greeted by a few dancers dressed in fancy clothes.The temperature in Tailosi is relatively high. The dancers gently took off the clothes of the guests and held them in their hands. In explaining the future development plan.

Then they were taken to various inns by the dancers to taste the special food of Tailosi. If you are interested in the evening, you can go to the entertainment venue to play all night.

After being warmly received for a day, the dancers came to the door again, saying that there was a chance that they could take them to see Tyroshi Governor Werther directly. After a mysterious compliment, the nobles and businessmen were brought into an island by the dancers. in the largest warehouse.
