Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

The blueprint that Werther left in King's Landing was to imitate the shape of Valyrian Avenue in the Eastern Continent. The bottom of the road was rammed with earth and piled with gravel. The gravel is tightly wrapped, and after cooling and condensing, a black and flat road is formed, which is convenient for draining rainwater and snowmelt, and does not require maintenance.

As for roads being damaged by heat expansion and cold contraction, Witt concluded during his investigation that there is no such problem at all with the use of dragon flames to build roads. the same.

After the inspection of the Hand of the King, the imperial meeting has been discussing whether to expand the dirt road or follow Werther's high standard. The cost difference between the two is ten times faster.After discussing with Renly, Robert decided to make a decision after Tylosi discussed with Werther this time.

Werther: "Robert, Renly, have you ever thought that if this road is repaired according to high standards, the circulation of goods and people will bring more benefits. It may take five years before you earn 10 gold dragons, and it may take five years after that. It only takes two years. And the names of the two of you will be remembered forever on this continent!"

Robert: "But there's no money in the royal treasury!"

Werther: "Didn't you rob Commander Golden Robe's house before, and ran out of money?"

Robert stroked his beard: "The expenses are a bit high recently."

Werther: "Renly, is there enough money for Storm's End?"

Renly thought about it carefully: "If all the money is paid by Storm's End, I have to stop the purchase of several raw materials this year, and the law of the kingdom stipulates that the King's Road cannot be paid by my family. After the repair, it will be called the King's Road. Or Renly Road?"

Robert said nothing, thinking about things, wondering what the hell was going on with his money.

Werther: "Let me give you an idea. Robert pays in the name of the royal family, and Renly pays in his own name. This road is still called the King's Road. After the road is repaired, you will build tolls at each entrance of the road." The horse-drawn carriages on the avenue have to be paid, and it is estimated that the cost will be recovered in a few years.”

After Robert heard this, he became more energetic: "Then if you start on the road halfway, run outside the city of King's Landing and then run down privately, how do you charge for it?"

Werther: "Those who pay a fee will be given a sign to hang on the carriage. The money collected on the road can be used to expand a royal army to patrol along the road on horseback. Anyone who goes on the road without permission will be punished and fined."

Renly: "That's right, even if the cost is recovered in 10 years, isn't it purely making money in the next few decades?"

Witte: "This kind of road requires almost no maintenance costs. Robert, you are the king. After recovering the cost, whether to continue charging, or lower the price to feed the patrols, or free, depends on the country's policy."

Robert thought for a while: "The roads are built according to high standards, and the tolls are based on national policies. If it is to raise war funds, the fees will be charged, and the price will be reduced in normal times."

Werther smiled: "Then let's talk about Oda Viying's labor costs."

The agriculture and breeding industry of the Stone Step Islands have not yet developed, and the animals are almost eaten by Alda Viying, and the people have no meat to eat!Werther didn't plan to leave Tyrosh until the child was born, but the dragon couldn't keep it for nothing, he had to let him work and support himself.

Robert: "Don't be too expensive, the treasury is not much!"

Werther: "It can't be helped. The Valyrian Empire built a road, and hundreds of dragons took turns to breathe fire. We have only one dragon, Odaviying, and it's very tiring."

Renly: "During the construction period, its meat will be covered by us, so other expenses will be waived?"

Werther pointed to the giant dragon sleeping on his stomach outside the house: "You guys are so stingy, do you think it will agree?"

Robert recalled the embarrassment of being overwhelmed by Aldawyer asking for 250 sheep: "Then add another sheep for every kilometer!"

Werther: "This should be good. Someone has to clear the space where the dragon sleeps. It's best to send soldiers to guard it. I'm not worried that anyone can hurt it. I'm afraid that if someone comes close to see the dragon, it will eat people!"

After capturing Tyrosh City, Alda Viing ate a lot of people, and many dead enemies in the city went into its belly, at least several thousand people.

Werther: "During road construction, you should lay the foundation of the road first, and then place red flags in front of and behind the completed road. Aldawion looks at the flag and sprays dragon flames. Renly is the only one who can speak dragon language now. , the specific communication work can only be done by you.”

Renly: "No problem."

Werther: "If other nobles also want to build roads, they can also copy this model and discuss in detail with the investment ratio of the local nobles. The employment price of Oda Viying is food and accommodation, plus one sheep per kilometer."

After the agreement was reached, Robert and Renly set off back to Westeros first, Robert returned directly to King's Landing, and Renly and Little Rose returned to Storm's End to give birth.

Werther was fooling around with Odaviying, knowing it with reason and empathy, and after Werther lowered the standard and allowed him to rest for four days a month, he finally persuaded him.

In the past few days, it can fly to Dragonstone Island to rest. Both Dragonstone Island and Skull Island have volcanoes, which are very suitable for giant dragons to survive.

Chapter 180 IX You Can't Raise Dragons With Money

After the two siblings, Theon Greyjoy and Asha Greyjoy, reported the military situation of the Purple Fleet before the siege of Tyrosh, they seemed to have disappeared, and there was no news from them again.

Finally, on the second day after Robert and others left, his cousin Andrew Esmond brought Werther a long letter from the two of them.

Now Tyrosh knows only two and a half of what Greyjoy is doing, one is Werther himself, and the other is Werther's intelligence chief, cousin Andrew Esmond.The other half was Allard Seaworth who had sent Greyjoy and the others to sea.

Werther took the two of them to the "Werther's Eye" lighthouse. The inside of the lighthouse is very spacious. The lower floor is a spiral staircase, a winch that goes straight to the top, and more than a dozen attics. Werther's personal guards and some city defense officers temporarily live in the attic Here, there are three lighthouse keepers who live on the top floor for a long time, and they are responsible for keeping the flame on the top of the lighthouse alive.

When he came to the brazier of the lighthouse, Werther activated the silence magic, and asked Andrew Esmond to report carefully about Greyjoy and the two of them.

Andrew Esmond held a bag of oranges, handed one to Werther, and ate one by himself:

"This letter comes from Volantis. The intelligence officer under the consul Dophas Pannymeen has also come to Tylosi this time. Even his superior Dofas doesn't know about this letter. He I personally delivered it to me."

"The head of intelligence did a good job, did you give him a reward?"

Andrew: "Of course! I also gave him a double bounty, so that he can help Greyjoy and the others more in the future."

Werther took the oranges and didn't eat them. Nymeria bought them from Dorn, and put them in a large pile in the room. Andrew picked up a few when he had nothing to do.

Werther carefully looked at the writing style and date of signing of the letter. The handwriting was of Theon himself. There was a nondescript beauty drawn on the upper left corner of the letter paper, which looked like a child's graffiti. This was one of the agreed codes. The date of issue is different and appears around the letter paper.If only the position of the pattern is wrong, it means that he is in danger. It is a false information to cover up people's eyes and ears. If it matches, it is the real information.

"It's been a thrilling journey for them!" Werther smiled, too much time had passed, and there were many things to report, so the letter was written very long.

The information started from Pentos. At that time, during the Stone Steps War, the natives of Pentos and the merchants who came here were very hostile to the people of Westeros. After discussing with Theon, Asha and Theon discussed In a tavern, he deliberately drank a lot of wine to play drunk, angered the guests at another table, and bragged about the murder of the descendants of his Greyjoy family, and the two quickly beat the other party to the ground.

The next day, a governor of Pentos invited the two of them to the mansion, and asked about the War of the Stone Step Islands. He fooled around and got an intelligence bounty from the governor.

The two continued to hang out in various taverns. A few days later, the news that the two were the fugitives with the highest bounties in the Seven Kingdoms reached Pantos. The conscription officer also came over, and the mercenary group of Essos liked to use fugitives from the Seven Kingdoms. The bigger the crime, the higher the reward, and the higher the status in some mercenary groups.

The two did not join after considering it, and only accepted temporary employment from anyone as an assassin.

The laws of the Seven Kingdoms are useless in Essos, and the two of them are civilians here. Under normal circumstances, no one would arrest them for the bounty, because there are too many fugitives, and it is a violation of the rules to want to be a bounty hunter. will be besieged in isolation.

In the next few days, Theon almost died in a conflict. In order to snatch the Valyrian steel sword in his hand, a group of people touched his room in the inn in the middle of the night. Fortunately, Asha found the enemy vigilantly, and the two worked together After killing six enemies and fleeing, Theon was stabbed six times.

Fortunately, the two of them knew a little of the wound treatment method taught by Werther. His sister Asha sterilized him with spirits and then sewed up the wound. The two fled westward on horseback and passed through Gor Hedo to Norfolk, one of the nine trading city-states. s.

Here they met people from the Golden Group, many of whom were fugitives from the Seven Kingdoms. They were wanted because of Greyjoy's rebellion and their own murder and sword capture, and they quickly integrated into it, but they did not join the Golden Group.

After seeing the letter here, Andrew said beside him: "I can only say that they were lucky and found the right direction. Most of the rumors about you come from the Golden Group."

Werther: "The Golden Corps and I had a direct conflict. They killed many people, but the people in the Mercenary Corps should have seen through life and death. They dared to risk their lives for money. They shouldn't hold grudges like this. There should be someone behind them."

Andrew ate it up and down: "Go on and read the letter, the two siblings have done a good job."

The members of the Golden Legion are good at frontal combat, and are not very familiar with assassination and theft.Asha and Theon were hired by them to help the Golden Group solve a few things. The two sides cooperated happily and got in touch with each other more, and got a lot of useful information.

Theon emphasized in his letter that some senior members of the Golden Group were originally loyal to the Targaryen family and held great hostility towards the Baratheon family.A few important names are mentioned:

The first one, Ronald Clinton and his son "Red Rowland", he is the relative of the former Prime Minister Jon Clinton, Robert killed Jon Clinton, deprived their family of all the territories, titles and property , this hatred cannot be solved.

The second one is Lansono Mar, the intelligence officer of the Golden Group. This person looks like a woman. I heard that he also spread his legs towards men, so he can get a lot of information.

The third one is Harry Strickland, the leader of the golden regiment. This talent is shallow, but he also has a lot of hatred for the Baratheon family. The specific reason is unknown.He was the one who ordered the Golden Company to go around slandering Werther.

There is also the most important one, a young man named Little Griffin.Asha and Theon had learned about the system of their mercenary group while chatting with the members of the Golden Group, and the little Griffin was the next head of the group that they focused on training.

This man is very knowledgeable, generous and righteous, and very good at military command. Many people in the Golden Group have publicly expressed their support for him. If he is an enemy, it will be very difficult.

Originally, Asha and the two only thought that this person would be a potential trouble in the future, until one day they saw the people from the Golden Group moving a cage covered with cloth to the carriage, and Theon deliberately asked the people from the Golden Group what to do? What is it? Asha sneaked around and lifted the curtain directly. What was locked in the cage was a little green dragon.

The members of the Golden Group saw that Xiaolong was exposed, and they didn't care when they thought that Theon and Theon were also wanted criminals in the Seven Kingdoms. The price is too high and I want to buy it back.The Golden Brigade

Introduce them to the little dragon. The dragon's name is Rhaego. It has green and bronze scales. The dragon is chained like an eagle. It is kept in a cage at night, and the little Griffin feeds him cooked meat. , the dragon will crawl on him. . . .

The rest of the content is about how the Golden Group raises dragons. Werther snorted. The key is the name of the dragon: "Andrew! Is this dragon really the one next to Daenerys?"

Andrew Esmond: "I personally feel that the Golden Company spread disinformation before! When Daenerys' dragon egg hatched, the Golden Company was stationed outside Pentos, so Daenerys never Of the three dragons, she only has two, and one is in the hands of little Griffin."

Werther: "Who handled the corpses of Rhaegar Targaryen's daughters, Rhaenys and Aegon, after they died? Where are the corpses?"

Andrew Esmond spat out the orange: "It's been more than ten years, I was still a child at that time, how would I know!"

Werther: "It seems that you are going to King's Landing, and you must investigate this matter! You can feed dragons and eat meat, but dragons are not easy for everyone to get close to."

Chapter 190 Meeting of Heroes (5200 words)

Werther went on to read the rest of the letter.

Asha, Theon, and the members of the Golden Group took a boat from Norvos City down the Naen River. When they stopped at the ruined city of Na Sa Star, the members of the Golden Group had a public meeting with Kyumo Kao. .

Both sides condemned Werther Baratheon.The people of the Golden Group continued to spread rumors about Werther's murder of the tortoise. Kyumo Kao said that one of his bloodriders was killed by Werther before, and Werther hid himself like a turtle and dared not come to him.

That afternoon, Asha and Theon also hunted around with the members of the Golden Group, and finally had a turtle feast.

A group of people went south again, and when they reached Dagger Lake, they joined the large forces of the Golden Regiment stationed here.Asha noticed that the people from the Golden Group began to monitor the two of them. When they were robbing prey with other mercenary groups, the two sides had a conflict. Asha and his brother rescued the little Griffin. The relationship was deeper, but Asha felt that this incident was deliberately arranged by the Golden Group to test the two of them.

The golden group then went south to accept the employment of Volantis and clear the bandits in the Varanna River valley. There was a huge swamp where a large number of escaped slaves gathered. The nobles of Volantis did not want to go to such a Wet and muddy places are all dealt with by the mercenary group, and let them return the ears in exchange for bounties.

The two learned an important piece of news from the head of the group. Daenerys Targaryen had a marriage contract with a big man in Slaver's Bay, and it was not clear which one it was.

The orange peels at Andrew Ismond's feet had been thrown all over the ground, and he spat out a few seeds and said to Werther, "Yunkai, Meereen, Astapor, New Ghis and Old Ghis, Razashi and Khothrak, The scope is too large. After sending this letter, Theon and Asha have already set off to Slaver's Bay to investigate."

Werther: "Not only these seven cities, but also Taurus, Jalos, and two slave cities on the upper reaches of the Skahahadan River."

Daenerys deviated from her original course of action, instead of marrying the horse king, she went to the slave bay first, and now Werther is not sure where she went.

If she killed Little Griffin's green dragon first, Daenerys would definitely hide it. Now that she has 13 dragon souls, it won't be too late to close the net after the two brothers and sisters of Theon send back accurate information.

Werther threw the letter into the lighthouse brazier and burned it, and arranged for Andrew Esmond to set off immediately to King's Landing to secretly investigate the past of Rhaegar's two children.

"Andrew, when you go to King's Landing to investigate, avoid Varys' little bird in King's Landing, and also investigate Varys by the way! If there was a problem back then, I believe no one except him could have done it in the Red Castle at that time. Hands and feet."

Andrew Esmond was puzzled: "He was just an intelligence officer who had just taken office at that time, and he came from the city of Mill in the Eastern Continent. Does he have that ability?"

Werther: "King Robert, Renly and I know the secret passage of the Red Castle, and he knows it better than us. He has a way to enter the Red Castle to exchange the child."

Andrew rubbed his hands: "Could you tell me about the secret passages of the Red Castle? Or give me a map?"

Witte: "Then you have to work harder, and I will give it to you when you enter the Imperial Council and become the intelligence chief. Now you know, it will only bring trouble."

Andrew thought for a while. Although it is good to know the secret, it is better to be cautious when it comes to the king. He put his arm around Werther's shoulder: "Then it is settled! I will definitely be the chief intelligence officer of the Seven Kingdoms! When the time comes, you will be obedient. Hand over the blueprint!"

Werther slapped his hand away: "Don't wipe my clothes! You are far from capable now! Be careful when you go to King's Landing to investigate. You'd better talk to Renly and Robert first."

Two new dukes took office successively in the Riverlands and the Vale. Three months after his father's funeral, Edmure Tully planned to hold a tournament in Riverrun to enhance the sense of belonging of the nobles of the Riverlands. This is an opportunity to ease the relationship with the valley nobles.

It was originally arranged to be held one month after the funeral, but if he planned to hold the tournament, he would lose money and make money, so he contacted Stannis.At that time, Stannis' schedule was already full, and it has been delayed until now.

In addition to the various nobles in the Riverlands, Edmure also sent invitations to the whole country. The nobles in the Stormlands are busy building the King’s Road and have no time. The Reach and Dorne are busy delivering orders for the Stepstone Islands. The Vale and Crown Regions are the most visited.

The valley was led by the new Duke Dennis Ayrin. Almost all the nobles of the valley sent people to attend the meeting. The people who came had different ideas. A few had sworn loyalty to Dennis, and some said that they were not loyal to Dennis in their hearts.

The northern region is too wide, and only some people from the south came to participate, and Robb attended as a distinguished guest on behalf of Winterfell.He is a magician, and he was deprived of the opportunity to compete in the next game, so he could only sit in the stands and watch the game.

Robb chased Ramsay Snow all the way. His magic was not the orthodox Elder Scrolls faction, but Werther modified it based on his less magic power, combining destruction, transformation and melee martial arts.During the period of time when Robb was in contact with the other party's blood or body fluids, he could see the scent and footprints left by the other party in the air.

Several dung workers died in Huishui. After investigating, Robb found Ramsay's breath, and tracked southward with the clothes left by Ramsay.But the other party is also a good hunter, with a cunning mind, often escapes in unexpected ways, and has no bottom line in doing things.

The arrest warrants for Winterfell and the Dreadfort have been issued to the whole country. There are still some people who know Ramsay in the northern border. He dare not go back to the north. When Riverrun held a tournament, Robb suspended his pursuit, took his sister and his men, Visiting my uncle's house in Riverrun with Meera Reed.

Ramsay is indeed an excellent hunter, good at tracking, bow and trap, and he not only hunts animals, but also hunts living people!Knowing that a place with a lot of people is the best hiding place.He planned to go there after hearing the news of the martial arts competition held in Riverrun City, and then he could mix with the returning teams from various places and continue to flee south.

Then he pretended to be a cripple who had nowhere to go, and relying on his clever mouth, he sneaked into a team of pork vendors to do the work of shoveling pig feces, followed the butchers to drive a large group of pigs, and limped to the city of Riverrun Set up a pigsty outside.

King Robert has sent a letter stating that he will not come to the tourney, the reason is to supervise the construction of the king's road.

But the gossip has already spread that Maegor Mansion, the king's bedroom in the Red Castle, has recently recruited five new maids, namely the five daughters of the Bracken family in the riverland: Barbara, Jayne, Caitlin, Beth and Alysanne, Queen Doris Rowan is therefore at odds with King Robert.

Tywin Lannister of the Western Region was recovering from a long illness. Just in time for the tournament, he wanted to travel far to get some fresh air, so he brought a large group of nobles from the Western Region to join in the fun.

Riding at the head of the procession were Jaime Lannister and his 13-year-old stepson Donny Sarsfield.

Jaime Lannister's new wife, Sirle Swyfer, was in the carriage at the back with his sister Cersei.

Sir Maven of Sarsfield City in the western region died of illness not long ago, leaving behind his wife, Sir Le Swyfer, and a son, Donnie Sarsfield.By coincidence, James and the widow Xierle got married. Under James's repeated requests, his father Tai Wen saw that his son was in his 30s and was still unmarried, and Xierle was still able to give birth, so he agreed to the marriage.

These are all public news. In private, everyone says that Donnie is James' illegitimate son, and some even say that Donnie is James' child molester!However, there are more people who believe that they are illegitimate children. Otherwise, with Tywin's wisdom, it is absolutely impossible to agree to James's marriage.

This year James is 33 years old and has no offspring, which means that the Lannister family in the West has no direct heirs.

Now that there is a stepson, before James's own children are born, Duny also has the right to inherit the Lannister family. This has been recognized by the family patriarch Tywin and recognized by other members of the family, provided that he inherits the family business I had to change my surname to Lannister sometime.

Tywin has calculated this point. After his death, his son James will inherit the family business.Dony is young, so as long as there are no accidents, when James is old and Doni is Joffrey, the four Baratheon brothers will have died of old age, and there is no way to find out who will inherit the West. , time will dilute everything.

Everyone in the Westland calls him "Lucky" Donnie, and now he is the dual heir of Sarsfield City and the Westland, but Donnie hates this name very much, as long as anyone dares to mention this name in front of him, he will be recruited A severe beating was carried out by his loyal dog "Hound".

Cersei Lannister in the carriage, laying her feet on the lap of Jaime's wife, Searle Swyfer, who was massaging her.

Both of them were dressed luxuriously, and they were members of the same generation of the same family. Xi Erle was also doing this job that was obviously not in line with etiquette and should have been done by a maid.With a blank expression on her face, she turned her head to look at the Golden Tooth Castle going away from the carriage, and the movements of her hands were a little slower.

Cersei kicked Sierra in the chest, bang!She slammed her head on the carriage door and knocked it open, half of her body was hanging outside the carriage, Cersei just looked at her with a smile on her face, without any intention of helping.

Sille didn't dare to shout out, she grabbed the carriage with great difficulty and got up, closed the carriage door, lifted Cersei's feet and put them on her lap, tears streaming down her face.

Snapped!Another slap across the face.
