Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

After calming down his inner excitement, Ian quickly noticed a problem, that is, the difficulty of this task was judged as [medium], but he did almost nothing.

As for the task of avenging Black Falcon, which was also judged as [medium], I had to put in a lot of effort to complete it.

To be honest, Ian has never been able to figure out the criteria for determining the difficulty of optional tasks. He once tried to ask Annie, but was told that it was a secret.

According to Ian's original idea, the difficulty determination of optional tasks should be related to the current strength.

After all, if a person has grown up and then does some tasks that are judged as [easy] or [medium] difficulty in the early stages of the game, such as killing a certain knight or destroying a certain team of mercenaries, it will be effortless.

If the determination of task difficulty does not change, players can completely direct and act on their own and grind low-level tasks unlimitedly.

Based on Ian's understanding of Gou's plan, he believed that such a big bug would never exist.

But the task in front of him is difficult for Ian to understand, because it is a task that does not need to be done, right?

Looking at the description of this task again, Ian discovered the problem.

The task itself still requires Ian to [find the mole in the Illyrio Chamber of Commerce], which means that this [medium] difficulty level is for catching the mole.

Assuming that there really is such a mole, considering Ian's current strength, it is indeed normal to judge such a task as [medium].

As for Ian completing the mission directly, it was because he asked Illyrio to add a judgment that the mission was completed-no slave ship appeared in the end.

After discovering this, Ian's heart became excited. This wave is about to happen!

Although the concealment of this bug is much higher than that of the one where the difficulty determination does not change with strength, and it needs to be discovered under very coincidental circumstances, its outrageousness is not bad at all!

With the organizer clearly promising not to fix any bugs, I can follow the same routine to plan the ‘script’ and mass-produce corresponding tasks.

However, with that dog's level of planning, did he really not prepare any back-up plan? Ian thought immediately.

That’s all, I’ll find a chance to test it again and find out.

"Sir Ian?" A voice suddenly sounded, interrupting Ian's thoughts.

"Who are you?" Looking at the well-dressed old man in front of him, Ian didn't react for a moment.

"My name is Mills, and I am Your Excellency Illyrio's butler. According to His Excellency Illyrio's instructions, I am here to answer your questions."

Oh, yes, Ian almost forgot about the real thing, and then he remembered that although he already knew that the mole did not exist, he had no evidence to convince Illyrio.

Of course, even if there is evidence, it is impossible for Ian to deal with Illyrio just like this. He still needs to get to know the capable men under Illyrio and then borrow their strength.

How good it is now. Now that he no longer has to worry about the mole problem, his next actions can change from containing private goods to being all private goods.

"Butler Mills, I'm causing trouble for you."

"This is my job." Mills smiled, and he had a good impression of this young man.

"So, where do we start?"

“Here is a list,” Steward Mills handed a piece of paper to Ian, “which records the details of merchants in His Excellency the Governor’s Chamber of Commerce whose ships are expected to return to Pentos before the end of the month and early next month.

Among them, the seven people on the first page need to be focused on. The first two are because they are relatively close to Tarobine, the third to sixth are people who have been identified as members of the Braavos Party, and the seventh is From the Volantis Party. "

"Why are we still keeping the spies who have been identified?" Ian asked immediately.

"Your Excellency is a businessman. His purpose of not getting involved in party disputes is not to offend both sides, but not to offend both sides at the same time. Therefore, when other governors want to participate in these profitable businesses, Your Excellency Illyrio usually turns a blind eye. One eye.”

Ian nodded.

"So, any other questions?"

"No, the information above is enough." Ian held the list and showed a confident smile.

Just kidding, how could he not be confident?

"As long as you have an idea," Mills also smiled, "In addition, for your investigation, the Governor has specially arranged manpower for you. They are on their way to the Governor's residence. You can wait for them here. .”

"OK."

"Sir Ian," Mills once again said Ian's formal title, "perhaps you should think again. Do you have any other questions?"

Other questions? This time Ian also found something unusual. If Mills just asked a routine question, then this time he was obviously reminding himself.

But what questions do I still have? Ian looked at the list and fell into deep thought. If I didn't know the answer in advance through the system that there was no mole, what questions would I need to ask before conducting the investigation?

"Mr. Mills," Ian quickly thought of the answer, "could you please tell me more information about the Pentos Party Conflict?"

"You are better than I thought, Sir Ian," Mills was a little surprised. "You caught the point without even needing me to remind you." He paused and said,

"Your Excellency Illyrio asked me to tell you that when looking at something, you must observe its essence through the surface. The matter of the insiders in the Chamber of Commerce is essentially a part of the Pentos party struggle. If you lack an understanding of the overall matter, If you plunge into this muddy water next, you may not only return without success, but you may also put yourself in danger.”

"I will remember it." Ian nodded, with a hint of sincerity in his mind.

He could see that Illyrio was sincerely teaching him, and as a modern person who had read many Machiavellian works, but all his experience was still at the theoretical level, he could undoubtedly learn from an old fox like Illyrio. Go to school and learn something.

"Pentos is currently roughly divided into three factions," Mills said without saying anything and started explaining directly. "The first is the trade governor faction headed by His Excellency Illyrio. We uphold the concept of peaceful trade and hope that Maintain friendly relations with both Braavos and Volantis, and oppose any adventurism."

"There were originally a total of four of us here. Although it was just a loose alliance, we also controlled the overall say in Pentos. However..." Mills paused, "But two years ago, Taglis on our side The family encountered misfortune and lost seven ocean-going ships in two years. It became insolvent and declared bankrupt, thus being squeezed out of the Governor's Council."
