Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother

Chapter 116 Octopus Spider

"Duke Tywin is back in King's Landing, did you know that?"

"It was a war to determine the ownership of the Iron Throne. Several trading city-states along the coast were alarmed. Don't I know?"

late at night.

Westeros, King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, the palace on Aegon's High Hill, the Red Keep.

A voice gradually came from a dark stone passage somewhere underground in the Red Castle, and the light of the torch cast two distorted shadows on the wall.

As the two walked in, a butter torch could be seen held in the hands of a stout man wearing an iron helmet.

His companion was even more bloated than he, and on each of his ten carrot-thick fingers wore a ring or two set with gemstones, red gold, silver, rubies, sapphires, large diamonds, and tiger eyes with yellow stripes.

Like a flamboyant nouveau riche.

Although the two are fat, they both walk lightly. The footsteps of the man in the helmet seem to be gliding on the ice without making a sound. The "rich man" with a yellow forked beard is even more peculiar. During the process, the water dancer is always in a state of stealth.

You can't judge by appearance, these two fat guys are actually brilliant water dancers!

"Now that you know, why do you choose to come to me at such a terrible time? Tyrion may have the wisdom of Duke Tywin, but Duke Tywin is far more vigilant and vicious than him.

When facing him, I, the intelligence chief, must be vigilant every minute and every second, and every word and every slightest movement must not be wrong. "The helmet man said in a complaining voice.

The man in the steel helmet wore an old hard leather jacket with brown stains and rusty iron armor, and a dagger and a dagger were tied around his waist.

He has a round face with scars, a smooth upper lip, and a short black beard on the lower lip. If it weren't for the pair of eyes that reflect the light from time to time, anyone would regard him as a down-and-out warrior that can be seen everywhere in Flea Street.

The rich man sighed and said, "I don't want to come to King's Landing at this time either. Although Stannis' fleet suffered heavy losses in the previous battle, he hired Salado Sarn's fleet.

That notorious pirate, the self-proclaimed Lord of Blackwater Bay, has all but blocked the sea route from the Narrow Sea to King's Landing.

Moreover, there is not a single ship left in the waters near King's Landing, it is bare, and my ship dare not dock at all.I could only wait until midnight, and the smugglers took me to the dangerous shoal at the bottom of the Red Castle in a small boat under the cover of darkness. "

"Then you're still here?" the helmeted man asked suspiciously.

"The disobedient little queen of Slave Bay sent me a summons." The local rich man sighed.

He sighed a lot tonight.

Hearing this, the man in the helmet was solemn and asked, "Did she give you information, or did your people report information related to her?"

"She asked the merchant ship to bring me a letter."

"What did you write?"

The local rich man didn't want to sigh anymore, but when he heard this question, he still sighed heavily and said: "She first expressed her gratitude to me for sending the fleet to pick her up, and then because she took my goods to exchange for the Unsullied I feel sorry.

After some courtesies, she promised me that the loss of wealth caused by the detention of my cargo and fleet would be doubled in the future.

Because Astapor is alone and lonely, the sea is often patrolled by ships from Meereen and New Ghis, and she needs Grole the Blackbeard to control the navy

Well, yes, she built a small navy, a dozen cargo ships, and two longships.Grole became the Lord of the Sea of ​​the Little Queen, and the crew also transformed into sea knights of the Mother of Dragons.

Alas, the frightened girl who once lodged with me died on the Dothraki Sea, and was reborn in blood and fire, and the new dragon queen was a true Targaryen. "

After a long silence, the man in the steel helmet said: "I know what you said. In the past six months, New Ghis, Kaiyuan, and Meereen have all been on the verge of moving, and they even formed the 'Allied Forces against the Mother of Dragons'. Those who are dirty, only dare to send fleets to harass the coast of Astapor.

But she has dragons, and even young ones can quietly burn sails and ropes in the dark.

After losing four ships one after another, the coalition forces changed their strategy and no longer harassed the docks and coastal settlements, but completely blocked Astapor's commercial activities.

But besides the slave trade, what other attractive goods does Astapor have?The blockade of the sea route had no effect on her. "

If Dany is here, through the dialogue between the two, they can easily guess their identities. One is the trading governor of Pentos, an "old friend" of the Targaryen family, Illyrio.

The other is Varys, the Chief Intelligence Officer of Westeros, known as the Octopus.

After Jorah's confession was lenient, Dany speculated that Illyrio had a connection to Varys.

But hearing her conjecture, Barristan told her directly that Varys and Illyrio were best friends and partners more than 20 years ago.

As an intelligence dealer, Varys hides in the dark and is responsible for collecting information.

Illyrio came forward to help him find customers who needed information, and at the same time, by helping those customers, he established his own business network.

The two were perfect together, and made a great reputation in Pentos, even King Aerys on the other side of the narrow sea knew about it.

At this time, the two old friends walked forward while talking, and they came to the end of the passage not long after.

Walking along the spiral upward narrow staircase to a height of about two floors, the front view suddenly becomes wider, and with the firelight, the hazy monster's head in the dark reveals its true content: in the huge cave, there are stone pillars standing on the left and right sides A row of huge keels with hideous faces were placed in each room.

"I don't know when the three dragons of the Dragon Queen will grow to be so big."

Illyrio looked at the tall skull in the building ahead—the legendary Balerion, and was filled with emotion, "She explained in detail the reason why she couldn't come to Pentos in her letter to me.

First, she was too soft-hearted. Originally, she only planned to buy the Unsullied to protect herself. After seeing the miserable appearance of the slaves, she decided to do what a queen should do—to make the world a better place. "

The corner of Varys's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "I remember that she didn't receive any royal education, and she was surrounded by cruel centaurs. Where did this idea come from?"

"Maybe it's the captain of the Kingsguard who is too upright? The fearless Barristan can be regarded as a figure who came out of legend, and he must have had a greater influence on her than Mormont."

"I regret a little that I arranged for the old fellow to find the little queen," Varys sighed.

"We originally thought that Barristan would help her increase her reputation. He has a great reputation in Westeros and can influence the choices of some knights." Illyrio shrugged and continued: "Secondly, she wants to wait for the dragon grow up."

"Very smart." Varys nodded appreciatively, then shook his head and said, "But we don't need an Aegon, she can be Reniss, or Visenya, but not Aegon!

If the dragons are under her control, our plan"

Varys' voice lowered, his eyes flickered inexplicably, and his complexion gradually became gloomy.

"Hehe, don't worry, my brother." Illyrio patted the fat eunuch's shoulder and said with a smile: "Dragon has three heads, and a knight can only control one dragon. That dragon queen is still asking me What about Li'an's illegitimate son!"

"She thinks..." Varys' expression softened, and he said thoughtfully, "I haven't received this news. It seems that the little birds in Astapor are a bit slack!"

"Maybe she never mentioned it to anyone else, your little bird can't hear all the secrets. She told me that she saw the prophecy in the Temple of Immortality that the dragon has three heads, and her dragon needs three dragons Knight. If you don't have an illegitimate child, you can also contact the Velaryon family on Tidehead Island."

Speaking of this, Illyrio jokingly asked the fat eunuch, "Shall we take advantage of that six-year-old kid?"

Velaryon is to Targaryen what Mormont is to Stark, and they are all loyal for thousands of years.

When Valyria ruled the world, Velaryon was the retainer of House Targaryen.

Later, Targaryen left Valyria for Dragonstone Island, and Velaryon followed suit, making his home on Tidehead Isle next to Dragonstone Island.

In the early days of the dynasty, the two marriages were so frequent that they could almost be regarded as a family.

During the Dance of the Dragons, in addition to the Targaryen blood, Velaryon was also qualified to control dragons.

If the Velaryon family knew that Dany had hatched the dragon at this time, they would probably abandon their family and business, leave Westeros directly, and return to Dany's command, and Dany would definitely accept and reuse it.

It's a pity that they don't know, it's useless to know, and they have no power!

In recent years, the Velaryan family has withered badly. The previous Earl Velaryn just died in the "Battle of Red Cliff" caused by Tyrion, leaving only a six-year-old son and an adult illegitimate brother.

Varys's heart moved, and he suddenly guessed the purpose of Illyrio's coming to find him this time. He pondered and said, "You want little Griff to go to Astapor in advance?"

A gleam flashed in Illyrio's fat pig eyes, and he nodded with a smile: "I came here to look for you precisely because of this idea. It is safe to say this kind of thing in person. What do you think?"

Varys frowned tightly, stuck a torch between the sharp teeth of a dragon skull, and walked back and forth in the empty stone hall with some irritability.

The thick soles made an irritable friction sound on the ground. Obviously, he lost the calm state of mind he had been maintaining before, and broke away from the water dancer state.

"Ma Wang died unexpectedly, and she miraculously hatched a dragon with the three broken stones you gave us. Our plan has been changed again and again. The third revised plan is to let the little Griffin get in touch with her slowly, Get in touch with the dragon and reveal your identity after gaining the favor of the dragon. Although I don’t want to now, it seems that it’s time to revise the plan for the fourth time.”

Illyrio sighed, and said helplessly, "Astapor is not Pentos, and I can't arrange some things."

"You continue." The octospider said.

"Continue what?"

"The third reason."

"Oh." Illyrio nodded, and said, "She thinks that winter is coming, and launching a war of conquest will cause a large number of civilian deaths. This reason is the same as our previous plan, but it's not about civilians, but launching a war in winter The cost is too high, and there are too many uncertain factors, a sudden snowstorm may ruin a hundred thousand troops."

"Oh, the current situation is changing too fast, and the rhythm is no longer under our control." Varys looked extremely helpless. The war between the lion and the wolf was a plot he had already planned, but it happened too early.

It was several years early, and he had to fill the hole with Laveserys and Mawang, but those two scumbags not only failed to fill the hole, but also made a deeper hole

"I have a feeling that besides me, there is one or more chess players hiding in the dark." The eunuch sighed.

"The dragon is a symbol of status, and it is also a force that determines the situation. No matter how big the change is, it is so small in front of the dragon." Illyrio said firmly.

Varys nodded, agreeing with him.

In the Game of Thrones, the dragon is enough to offset all unfavorable factors, and even overturn the chessboard.

"Little Griffin can go there, but not now." Varys gritted his teeth and said with some complaints: "Since she has more than 1 Unsullied, why didn't she sweep Slave Bay immediately?

Now the Allied Forces of the Mother of Anti-Dragon Dragons are looking for mercenary groups.In the past six months, the Second Sons, Roses, and Stormcrows have successively entered Kaiyuan.

If the blood theater troupe hadn't been hired by Duke Tywin earlier, those blood theater troupes would have appeared on the opposite side of the Dragon Queen. "
