Chapter 84 Prince Pantos
Soon after.
Gollum-
The carriage traversed the entire city, and finally entered the mountain road that was paved with bluestone slabs.
When I got here, Illyrio no longer felt any pain in his butt. He had already reached the foot of the castle, and the road was extremely smooth. Even the carriage could not feel any bumps.
Illyrio sat in the carriage and looked curiously at the simple castle on the hill. Targaryen's three-headed fire dragon banner on a black background was hanging on the castle.
Once as an assassin and mercenary, he could see that the construction of this castle was mainly defensive and unbreakable, with shooting holes and battlements everywhere.
Although this Andalos Fort is simple, it is only made of mud, wood and stone, but it is located in such a commanding geographical location, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
If he wants to capture this castle, although Illyrio has never led a large army, he estimates that he will need at least two or three thousand people, and I am afraid that half of these two or three thousand people will be thrown here. .
"Who is this Viserys Targaryen?"
Illyrio was intrigued by Viserys.
As far as he knew, Viserys had only gradually assumed power since the death of his mother, Queen Layla, and was young.
And then to achieve such a level, a huge city has really been built on a land with no oil and water to squeeze, and it has to be staggering.
Although Illyrio didn't understand the double-edged sword of religious belief and nationalism, he knew that Viserys had spent a lot of money.
"Can you really buy a city with money?"
Illyrio's heart moved slightly. Although he is now the governor of Pantos, there are still many governors, and there is no reason to be a city lord.
But that's just a thought.
Illyrio can climb all the way from the mercenary assassin to the position of the governor of Pantos. Naturally, he is not an idiot. He is very self-aware and knows where his abilities lie.
His management is a mess, let alone building a city from scratch.
Subsequently.
The identity of the carriage was checked.
rumbling—
The gates of Fort Andalos opened wide, allowing this convoy to drive in.
Illyrio's carriage was in the middle, and he was accompanied by fifty soldiers, as well as gifts for Viserys, all kinds of gold and silver treasures, a fine wine of Panto's specialty, 'white amber'. Wine' and so on filled ten large carriages.
The carriage drove into the castle and stopped. The soldiers stepped forward to load and unload the goods, and brought out several men and women in shackles. These were slaves for Viserys.
Although Pantos explicitly forbade the slave trade, everyone knew that it could not be prohibited.
And Illyrio was also supported by the servants and strenuously walked down from the carriage.
"Lord Governor."
At this moment, a guard in the castle came over to lead the way for Governor Pantos.
"Your Majesty is waiting for you in the hall."
Illyrio Morpatis, the governor of Pantos, followed the guards into the hall of the castle, then sat on a chair, and soon a maid brought tea.
The hall of this castle looks simple but not shabby. Windows are opened on the walls on both sides, and the sunlight directly shines in to make the hall look brighter. Two rows of carved stone pillars support the ceiling, and the floor is made of plaid. marble paving.
At the end of the hall, a dark and heavy throne was placed on the steps. On both sides of the throne, there were two sides of exquisite black and gold brocade. The surface of the satin was embroidered with the coat of arms of the Targaryen family's three-headed fire dragon on a black background.
While Illyrio was looking at the hall, there was a sound of dense footsteps from the back of the hall.
"His Majesty."
The guard's respectful voice.
"Um."
There was also a calm and calm voice.
Then the back door of the hall was opened, and a figure appeared from the two passages behind the throne that could come out, surrounded by stars like the moon.
Illyrio put down the teacup in his hand, and hurriedly stood up from the chair, saluting slightly.
"His Majesty."
Viserys had just removed his armor and changed into more formal clothes.
And his squire Bessie Knight also removed the armor that had been smashed out of a large pit, replaced it with a lighter armor that was mainly decorative, and then followed Viserys over.
"Lord Governor, please take a seat."
Viserys sat on his throne, then gestured to Illyrio, and the rich merchant governor of Pantos sat back on the chair again, and the chair made a creaking sound when it was overwhelmed.
Viserys' bodyguard, Bessie, stood behind the throne with one hand on the hilt and the other behind her back.
"I have heard of His Majesty's name a long time ago, and it is an honor to meet him this time."
Illyrio sat back on the chair again, then looked at the silver-haired boy sitting on the throne and spoke first.
This is the little king of Targaryen, Viserys III Targaryen.
Illyrio's eyes lit up when Viserys led the guards in just now. Although his sexual orientation was normal and he liked beautiful women, Viserys' face was so handsome that even men couldn't help but admire him.
Viserys' elder brother Rhaegar once fascinated countless women in the Seven Kingdoms, and Viserys' appearance was seven points similar to Rhaegar since he was a child.
And Viserys sat on the throne and heard Illyrio's flattery, his face was calm as water, he had heard this kind of words many times, and his heart was no longer disturbed, and then nodded slightly.
"Lord Governor is overrated."
"Then I don't know why the Governor-General came to Andalos this time?"
Viserys did not continue to circle with Illyrio, but asked bluntly.
"Naturally, it's a great gift for His Majesty to make friends with His Majesty."
Illyrio said confidently while sitting in a chair.
"To make friends?"
"How to make friends?"
And Viserys raised his brows slightly when he heard the other party's words.
"certainly."
"You made this friend by accepting the gift."
Illyrio laughed, the fat on his body was shaking, and the chair under his butt was wailing.
"Big gift?"
However, Viserys was unmoved and continued to ask.
"Of course it's a great gift!"
clap clap-
Then Governor Pantos clapped his hands, and his accompanying servants came in with a dazzling array of gold and silver jewelry.
…
Hi friends, discuss it. Regarding the previous plot, my original outline was that Viserys agreed to the engagement with Arianne under pressure. This is also the plot of the original book, but the heroine is definitely not Arianne.
But at that time, I was sprayed badly. I was afraid that everyone would say cuckold and poisonous. I changed it to refuse the engagement. Many friends reacted unreasonably, and I felt unreasonable. I want to change it back according to the outline. , what do you think?
