Game of Thrones: The Strongest Dragon Mother
Chapter 382 Buying and Killing Yourself
Chapter 382 Buying and Killing Yourself
An embarrassed smile appeared on Besalo, the spoon watchman, and he stretched out his palm like a white bread, with five carrot-like fingers all raised up.
"Five million golden dragons?" Dani raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
"Yeah." Besalo pursed his lips and nodded.
"Hehe, what do you say now? You are a keeper, and you even know the reward of the Faceless Man. There is no doubt that the golden dragons of the House of Black and White are stored in the Braavos Iron Bank, and you still say it's okay?" Gero Dane sneered.
"The Iron Bank of Braavos absorbs deposits from all over the world. The former King Aerys and now Dorne Martell also have deposits here." Besalo said with his eyes floating upwards, rubbing his fat hands.
"No wonder, in just over 300 years, Braavos has risen from a remote sea city to the top of the nine free trade city states." Dany said with a complicated expression.
During the time of Valyria, Braavos was only "illegitimate daughter".
Not to mention the other eight city-states, even White Harbor in the north next door is inferior—for the first few hundred years, Braavos could only eat the remnants of the narrow sea trade, mainly competing with White Harbor for the Shivering Sea trade, but White Harbor Hong Kong has a long history.
After the cataclysm, Volantis also served as the "big sister" for more than 100 years.By the time the Aegon brothers and sisters landed in Westeros, Braavos had already become the head of the nine free cities.
this speed of getting rich
It's no wonder that an "immature" dragon queen can earn 500 million golden dragons. Even if other people are not as valuable as the dragon queen, as long as the number is enough, after a year, the Black and White House can also have
Uh, Dany doesn't know how many faceless people there are in the House of Black and White, nor how often they take orders. The income is really hard to calculate.
But the Faceless Man is completely worthless business, and the Faceless Man who performs the task is a believer of the God of Thousand Faces, and they don't even pay any commission.
All the gold fell into the hands of the House of Black and White, and then locked into the iron vault.
"How many faceless people are there in the House of Black and White?" She couldn't help asking.
The kind man became kind again, and said very kindly, "There is only the Nameless One, but worshipers are all over Braaavos, and walk all over the world.
Just like the Church of the Seven Gods, believers will not stay in the church every day except for occasional gatherings.
The House of Black and White is the 'Great Sanctuary of Baelor' of the Many-Faced God, and nothing more. "
——So, if you ride a dragon and burn the courtyard of black and white, at most one old man will be burned to death, and you want to catch us all, that is wishful thinking.
Dany understood it, and felt that the Faceless One was a big|troublesome.
But she still pretended not to understand, handed the kind man a kind smile, and asked:
"The high priest seems to be emphasizing that only the Faceless Ones under the jurisdiction of the House of Black and White will no longer attack me. In other words, can someone break away from the House of Black and White and regain their freedom?"
The kind person was very surprised, unexpectedly, the Dragon Queen even noticed such a small loophole.
But he didn't know that there was a white-skinned and yellow-hearted Chinese man sitting across from him, a gringo playing word games with the Chinese man
"Your Majesty, someone will introduce you to the Church of the House of Black and White."
The kind man cleared his throat and explained solemnly: "The faceless people in the world are the priests of the Church of the Many-Faced God. people, so they are under the control of someone, the high priest.
But it is impossible for all churches to have only priests and ordinary believers.
There are even monks who have returned to lay life, but still retain their faith.At that time, if the nameless person has a name, he will no longer be a 'nameless person'. "
Dany didn't believe that the House of Black and White would allow the old Faceless to retire.
In the movie, when killers want to retreat and return to normal life, few of them succeed, and they will all be killed by killer organizations.
Not to mention greedy for the old killer's pension, the dead can at least keep the organization's secrets better.
How many people will a qualified faceless man kill in his lifetime?
If he revealed all his mission and the secrets of the Faceless, how much trouble would it cause?
"If a 'named man' kills me with the skills of an 'unnamed man', whose fault is it?" Dany asked, frowning.
"The promise you received from the House of Black and White, as long as you are a believer of the God of Many Faces, you will never attack you. This is a stronger and more sacred promise than guest rights and sacred oaths.
If someone violates the law, even if the Academy of Black and White cannot prevent it, it will definitely give him the greatest punishment after the incident occurs. "The kind man said firmly.
Ha ha ha
The old Faceless Man said something serious, but Dany just wanted to laugh.
A faceless man against a queen, what a bargain!
After a long time, the kind person asked: "Dragon Queen, regarding the assassination of you by the unknown person, are you satisfied with the answer of the House of Black and White?"
"It's okay." Dany gritted her teeth.
What can I do if I am not satisfied?
Since ancient times, the results of negotiations have not been based on the right or wrong of the two parties, but on the thickness of the muzzle and the distance of the shells.
After some trials, the Dragon Queen found that her cannon muzzle was thick enough, but she couldn't kill the enemy with one shot.
Facing the faceless man with deep roots, strong branches and leaves, but extremely hidden, the Dragon Queen also felt that she had nowhere to use her power and nowhere to shoot her guns.
"Papa papa" Fatty Besalo slapped his hands, with a friendly smile on his face, and said:
"Okay, the misunderstanding between the House of Black and White and the Dragon Queen has been perfectly resolved, everyone go to the Sea Palace to celebrate, how about?"
The kind man stood up, shook his head, and said, "Someone has to serve the God of Many Faces, please leave."
Saluting to the Dragon Queen again, the kind man led Arya and the waif to the stairs.
"Wait a minute," Dark Star stretched out his right hand to the Faceless Man, "Your Majesty, you haven't asked who is trying to kill you yet!"
"Sir, I'm sorry, the House of Black and White will never betray the 'dedicated'."
The kind man paused, as if answering Geraldine, but turned his head in the direction of the Dragon Queen.
"Consecration?" Dany looked strange.
Fatty Besalo explained: "According to the teachings of the God of Many Faces, since death is God's 'gift', it is the end of suffering.
Then, if a person wants to obtain this kind of "gift", he must give enough sacrifices to the gods.The Faceless will represent God and give 'gifts' to anyone in the world. "
mmp, shameless assassination can also be done so fresh and refined by you, I can't even accept it.
"Jello, don't embarrass the priest, I know who it is." Dany smiled helplessly, "In the whole of Westeros, except for Duke Tywin, who can make a decision the first time I only know that I have hatched a dragon?" Are you determined to invite the Faceless One?"
The kind man's pupils contracted, he turned and left without saying a word.
"Tywin Lannister" Erya's eyes flashed, she took a last look at the Dragon Queen, and followed the kind man's footsteps.
"Your Majesty, you are so smart!" Fatty Besalo gave a thumbs up and praised: "If Duke Tywin had not asked the Iron Bank as a guarantee, I would not have known that Tywin, who is tens of thousands of miles away, would be so afraid of you.
It now appears that he was right, that you are the greatest threat to the Iron Throne.
Alas, there is no one in Westeros more sane than Lord Tywin. "
"Tywin still needs a loan to hire the Faceless? Didn't everyone say that Tywin's papa is all gold?" Dany asked in surprise.
Fat Besalo's eyes flashed, and he said meaningfully, "Your Majesty, do you think the only enemy of Targaryen is Lannister?"
"I don't want me to think, I want them to think whether Targaryen is their enemy." Dany said with a smile.
"It's a very wise decision. If you insist on revenge, the Seven Kingdoms will be at least five and a half, and the conflict with you cannot be resolved." Besalo said appreciatively.
"What does this have to do with Tywin's loan?" Geraldine asked.
Bessalot smiled shrewdly, and said: "Since Baratheon sits on the Iron Throne, and the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms are hostile to Targaryen, there is no need for Duke Tywin to spend his own money to serve the kingdom.
Even Targaryen is Lannister's mortal enemy, even if his grandson sits on the Iron Throne, or, his own grandson. "
"It makes sense," Dany exclaimed. "It's no wonder that Lannister can become the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms. Even in the distant Slave Bay, you can hear the story of Tywinla's gold."
Fatty's face suddenly turned bitter, and he said in a jiffy, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I should say something or not."
"Tell me, I can bear even the worst news." Dany gave him a blank look and sighed.
"Iron Bank cannot be in default, you know that?" Besalo said.
"Ah."
"The arrears of the royal family are guaranteed by the Iron Throne." Besalo observed the Dragon Queen's expression, and said cautiously: "According to tradition, the new dynasty is obliged to repay the debts of the previous dynasty."
Dany was furious in her heart, her face was calm, and she said indifferently: "So, if I ascend the Iron Throne, I still have to pay Tywin for hiring the Faceless Man to assassinate me?"
Besalo seems to have encountered an extremely embarrassing situation, his oily face like a white steamed bun was wrinkled into bun folds, and a pair of chubby big hands twisted into twists.
"Theoretically, yes"
He seemed too ashamed, his head was almost buried on the table, and his voice was extremely low, like a mosquito in a summer mosquito net.
Dany was expressionless, Geraldine sneered, and they both stared at the fat man's bald head without saying a word.
The atmosphere was oppressive, the firewood in the fireplace was beeping and burning, and sweat was seeping from the fat man's shiny top door.
Squinting his eyes for a long time, the Dead Sea King seemed to wake up from his sleep, and muttered, "The Queen of Dragons grew up in Braavos and is our good friend. Besalo, for my sake, give me a seven fold it?"
Bessalo Ryan immediately came to life, widened a pair of innocent eyes, and shouted: "His Royal Highness, I am just one of the key watchers, and I don't care about the Iron Bank."
"Most, most." The fat man gritted his teeth and said with a distorted expression, "Up to [-]% off! The Ryan family's dividends from the Iron Bank this year are gone."
"Dani, what do you think?" Sea King looked at the Dragon Queen with a pair of sincere eyes.
Dany was noncommittal, and asked instead: "How much money does King's Landing owe? Or, in order to ascend the Iron Throne, how much does it have to pay back to the Iron Treasury?"
Besalo immediately said: "The repayment within one year only needs to be 635 million. If it were you, the loan for hiring a faceless person will be discounted by 100, which can be another [-] million cheaper."
"How much interest per year?" Dany asked again.
"Not much, only 6.5%, which is much cheaper than the 9.3% of Old Town Church Bank." Besalo smiled.
It is lower than the low-interest loans of many banks in modern society, and it is not a usury.
However, in this world, deposits do not earn interest, and sometimes you have to pay storage fees for large withdrawals from other places.
This kind of interest is almost the same as that of national debt.
