Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Your Majesty Magiro, Your Majesty the Queen invites you." The guarding knight announced Daenerys's will to the red-robed monk who asked to see him, and opened the bronze door of the hall for him.

Then Magiro, accompanied by two fully armed knights, walked into the hall of the pyramid.

As Magro slowly walked down the steps, Daenerys finally saw clearly the appearance of the envoy who claimed to be from the Red Temple of Volantis.

He is about seven feet tall, wearing a strange red robe that exposes a round belly as big as a pebble. His skin is as black as pitch, his face is covered with white beard and hair like lion's hair, and his forehead and body are covered with red. flame tattoo.

Just looking at his appearance made Daenerys feel a little uncomfortable. She originally thought that the monks of the Red God should be more like Celia. At least they shouldn't be like the beast in front of her.

However, this little bit of emotion was well hidden by Daenerys. Ian is not here, so I must be more majestic as a queen, she secretly thought in her heart.

So Daenerys nodded to the little translator Missandei.

"Before you is Daenerys I Targaryen Stormborn, Queen of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, Ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, Protector of Astapor The last of the Dragon Kings of Valyria." Missandei shouted.

"I am Magiro, a monk from the Great Red Temple of Volantis. I was assigned by Supreme Priest Benero to come to Astapor to pay homage to His Majesty." Magiro saluted.

It seemed easy to talk, and Daenerys breathed a sigh of relief.

"Excuse me, Lord Magiro. I have longed for your religion for a long time," Daenerys said with a smile. "To be honest, I have always had a high priest of R'hllor by my side. She once Serving the Red God in the Red Temple of Pentos, she sailed with me to Astapor after the fall of Pentos."

"Oh? I wonder if Your Majesty can introduce this colleague to me after today's meeting?" Magi Luo was immediately interested.

"I am very happy to do this, but it is a pity that Priest Celia has followed my queen's hand, Earl Ian Darry, to go to Meereen." Daenerys said regretfully.

"Going with the army?" Magiro was surprised this time, "Normally if an army has a clergy accompanying the army. Is your Prime Minister also a believer of the Red God? Or is it your army? Are there many followers of the Red God here?”

"This" Daenerys was asked. After being stunned for a moment, she simply admitted, "Actually, I have never been involved in the affairs of the army, so I don't know whether Celia has preached in the army.

But it is very possible that Lord Ian Darry is a believer in the Red God. After all, he has great trust in Celia and even recommended her to me to become my finance minister. And Earl Darry has declared himself the Spear of the Red God more than once. "

Really? Magi Luo suddenly remembered what the Supreme Priest Benero said after watching Fantasy in the Flame, "This boy is either an apostle of my god, or a pioneer of the Cold God." If the little queen is not lying, does it seem that Lord Ian Darry really has some connection with the Lord of Light?

"I wonder if Lord Benero, the Supreme Priest, sent you here for something?" Seeing Magiro suddenly fall into silence, Daenerys asked proactively.

"I am." Magiro was a little helpless. His original purpose of coming to Astapor was actually to meet Count Ian Darry, and his second purpose was to see the legendary dragon.

But when he arrived in Astapor and inquired, he found that both Ian and Long had left Astapor.

Immediately afterwards, he was arrested by a group of spies because of his suspicious behavior. It was not until he proved his identity and declared that he wanted to meet the queen that he was sent directly to the pyramid.

In fact, why does he have anything to do with this queen?

"Your Excellency Benero asked me to ask Your Majesty if you need us to send a group of priests to Astapor to help you preach? Of course, this is mainly to consolidate your rule." Magiro thought of the reason temporarily, and anyway, according to the According to the Queen, Earl Darry is a believer of the Red God, and she doesn't care about anything herself, so it's normal for them to come to Astapor to help preach for the Red God, right?

"We believe that dragons and fire are naturally one, and the Church of the Red God and your dynasty will be a match made in heaven." Magiro added.

"Uh," Daenerys hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, but the priests you send must obey the church of Astapor. My finance minister Celia will be the supreme priest of this church." "

"It should be so." Ma Qiluo immediately agreed. This mission was able to boost business performance. It was really an unexpected surprise.

"Besides?" Daenerys was very depressed. Why was this guy so unmotivated that she had to ask him personally if he had anything to do?

"In addition, I have to meet Lord Darry, so I hope to set off to Meereen early, and maybe I can catch up with Lord Darry on the way." Magiro expressed his intention to resign in a subtle way.

Sure enough, people who really have trouble will only look for Ian! snort!

"Then you..." Daenerys was about to allow Magiro to leave, but suddenly a falcon landed next to Daenerys, interrupting her.

"Follow you?" Daenerys looked at the Peregrine Falcon's movements and confirmed in a low voice.

She recognized Ian's changeling, and knew that this was Ian's message to her.

Peregrine Falcon nodded, and then added another set of movements.

"Come with you, take him with you?" Daenerys continued to confirm, watching the movements of the peregrine falcon.

This time, she got a positive answer again, and Peregrine Falcon didn't add any new moves.

"Well, Lord Magiro, before you leave, please come with me." Daenerys did not explain, but just ordered directly.

Magiro was a little strange, but he didn't ask any more questions. He and Daenerys followed the peregrine falcon to the side hall.

Then the peregrine falcon stopped on a table and quickly flew out of the window.

"This is..." Magi Luo was indeed attracted by the bird's movements and looked at the chessboard on the table.

"This?" Although Daenerys didn't know what Ian's purpose was, she roughly understood what Ian meant. Did he want me to introduce this kind of chess to the red-robed monk?

"It's a board game that Ian invented and he called it Go," Daenerys explained.

"Volantis also has a chess game, which we call Cyvasse. Compared to this, the chess you play here seems very simple? Its chess pieces only have one shape and two colors." Magiro was a little confused. I don’t understand, can this kind of thing be played?

"How about I introduce you to its rules?" Daenerys asked.

"Actually." Ma Qiluo laughed sarcastically. He was not interested at all, but due to the identity of the queen, he really couldn't say no. "Okay, please excuse me."

In this way, Daenerys began to tell Maggio the rules.

At the beginning, Magi Luo didn't take it seriously, but as he went on, his expression became heavier.

When Daenerys was almost halfway through explaining the rules, she discovered that the high priest of the Lord of Light had turned pale, his whole body was shaking, and he even knelt directly on the ground.

Magiro could no longer hear Daenerys' words, and all he could think of was the chessboard with nineteen lines and only two colors of chess pieces.

Go has only two pieces, black and white, but it embodies the most essential competition of all things.

It is not like Cyvas chess. It has no king, no knight, no dragon, and no mob. It only has two black and white pieces, tit for tat, which perfectly fits the duality doctrine of the Red God Sect.

In Ma Qiluo's eyes at this moment, what was on the chessboard was no longer white and black, but fire and ice, light and darkness, life and death, justice and evil.

This is the epitome of a head-to-head confrontation between R'hllor and the ancient cold god!

What apostle of my God? This fucking thing is my god descending into the world!

No, I can't go directly to Meereen. I have to return to Volantis quickly to report this matter to the High Priest.

Meereen

"That's probably what happened. Father, you two adults, I don't know what we should do next?" After Paoz Zo Pal finished reading the letter from Yunkai, he looked at his father.

In addition to Paoz, there were three people in this room, including his father, the commander of Meereen's city defense army, Grazdan Zor Pal, and the Holy Lord of Meereen, the 'noble' Hizdahr Zor. Lorak, the Meereen noble who later became Daenerys's husband in the original book, and the commander-in-chief of the New Gisborne expeditionary force, Ereth zo Emd.

These three have command of all the armies of Meereen and New Gith at this time, and are the core group conspiring with Yunkai against Ian.

"Did Yunkai mess things up?" Grazdan Zol Pal asked first.

"It seems that someone among the wise masters of Yunkai tipped off the information." Paoz nodded.

"Then Lord Darry defeated Yunkai?" The question this time was from the commander-in-chief of New Ghis, Ereth Zo Emde.

"It looks like this." Paoz shook the letter in his hand, "But Count Darry did not occupy Yunkai, nor did he send troops to sack Yunkai. He was just punishing General Fazaha (Rabbit) and his After the Fazza family behind it, they returned power to the Council of the Wise Lords in Yunkai.

It’s just that the original Grand Marshal of Yunkai died in that turmoil. Now the new Grand Marshal of Yunkai is Grazdo Zo Arc (General Shake-Ass), and the son of the original Grand Marshal has become the new Chief Deputy Commander. . In addition, the sage Lord Grazdan Mo Eraz who often went on missions to Yunkai was now promoted to a high noble and obtained the position of deputy commander-in-chief. "

"Promoted to a high noble?" The three powerful people in the room screamed almost at the same time.

Nothing like this has happened since the fall of the Gugith Empire, although according to Gith tradition, a family can be promoted through a unanimous vote on the part of the ruling council. However, since no large-scale war has occurred in Slaver's Bay for so many years, and the existing high-ranking nobles will fully protect the interests of the entire class, this proposal to promote the lower-ranking nobles has never appeared at all.

"This letter only notifies this result. I can't know the specific situation. However, based on this result, we can guess that Grazdan Mo Eraz is the traitor among the Yunkai Masters, and he is the traitor. The benefits obtained are the rewards given to him by Earl Darry." Paoz still used the word 'Mo', which represents a lower-class noble, to refer to the upstart. As a high-ranking noble, his pride did not allow him to admit this ridiculous promotion.

"According to the information I received," the Holy Lord of Meereen, Hizdahr zo Lorak, questioned, "the wise masters who attended the meeting said that Lord Darry did not interfere in any way with the entire meeting process."

"Do you know what happened at that meeting?" Paoz asked quickly.

"I have some friends in Yunkai." Holy Lord Hizdahr said perfunctorily, and then continued, "In fact, the promotion of the Eraz family is more like the result of mutual compromise between the sages of Yunkai. General Zdo (shaking his butt) supported Grazdan's family promotion, and Grazdan in turn supported Grazdo to obtain the position of Grand Marshal of Yunkai. When their two forces united, the Asia where the former Grand Marshal was located The Lark family also had to make compromises.”

"Isn't that what Lord Darry meant?"

"At least judging from the current situation, he has not expressed an opinion. He even specifically distanced himself from the relationship and expressed his unwillingness to participate in Yunkai's internal affairs." Hizdahr replied.

"So, he really has no demands for Slaver's Bay, as he promised?" The commander-in-chief of New Ghis, Eres Zo Emde, was a little surprised.

"At least that's what it seems, but" Holy Lord Hizdahr paused, "We seem to have been led astray by an unimportant thing. The question we should be more concerned about now should not be whether Darry found out. Our conspiracy?"

"This" Paoz hesitated and said with some uncertainty, "this letter says"

"They said that this turmoil was only caused by General Farzahar (Rabbit) and the Volantis Chamber of Commerce, right?" Holy Lord Hizdahr interrupted the young man of the Parr family, "Count Darry only liquidated The Farza family let Yunkai go and wrote a letter stating that he would continue to march towards Meereen.

But the question now is, did Fazahar and Daznak (a certain player) really not betray us? Does Lord Darry really know nothing or does he already know?"

"But what? Use false information to relax our vigilance, and then attack us suddenly?" Eres Zo Emde, the commander-in-chief of New Ghis, guessed.

"This is indeed a possibility, but I think the greater possibility is that he decided to turn a blind eye and give us another chance to maintain the alliance. As long as we cooperate enough in the future, he will Just pretend it didn’t happen.”

"Why do you think so?"

"In any case, it would not be in his interest to come to Meereen to fight with us under the current circumstances." Holy Lord Hizdahr shook his head. "Even if he defeats us, he will There will not be enough troops to fight against Khal Drogo. The best result for him is to maintain the alliance. He can only fight Drogo with the help of our strength."

"Similarly," Hizdahr continued, "If we cannot directly destroy Lord Darry's army as planned and capture Queen Daenerys and send it to Drogo to make him retreat, maintaining the alliance and defeating Drogo will be crucial. It is also the best result for us. He must have calculated correctly that we would also choose to maintain the alliance, so he placed all the blame on Fazaha."

"If this is the case," Grazdan Zo Parr, the commander of Meereen's city defense army who had not spoken much, could not help but sigh, "it is really hard for me to imagine that the earl is a young man under the age of twenty. .”

"Isn't there often stories like this in mythology? Harpies come to the world and take over young bodies to move." Commander-in-Chief of New Ghis said as if he remembered something.

"Hey, don't make such a joke, he's not even a Gith." Holy Lord Hizdahr reminded with some dissatisfaction.

"Yeah, if only he was Gith." The new Lord Commander of Gith shrugged disapprovingly.

"Forget it, let's get down to business," Hizdahr no longer hesitated, "Everyone, what are your opinions? Do you want to continue to maintain the alliance?"

"You are right. If the plan fails, the risk of us becoming enemies with Earl Darry is even higher than forming an alliance with him to deal with the Horse King. I agree to maintain the alliance." Commander-in-Chief Xingis also recovered after seeing this. Seriously, he was the first to express his stance.

"If he won't make excessive demands in the future, I agree." Grazdan Zo Pal nodded immediately.

"Ha, what if he makes an excessive request?" Holy Lord Hizdahr asked.

"This is him." Grazdan Zo Pal didn't know what to say for a moment.

"No matter what request he makes, we have no choice. After all, the Grand Marshal of Yunkai has been replaced. We have every reason to believe that the new Grand Marshal is on the side of Lord Darry.

According to our agreement, Earl Darry and his people occupy three seats in the coalition's supreme command group. He has obtained the real command... If we want to maintain the alliance, we can only accept his command.

Moreover, we betrayed the other party first without breaking the contract. Now that our plan has failed, we may not be able to escape if we bleed a lot of money to make up for it. "
