Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Lost you?" Manius couldn't remember how many years he had not been this angry. "This is Volantis! I asked you to follow a group of mercenaries, and you told me you lost me?! What do you want? Are you going to embarrass me in front of my new friends?" He tried his best to lower his voice, but this could not cover up the anger in his heart.

"Sorry, Mr. Manius." The slave guard captain apologized quickly.

"Forget it, let's talk about the details first." Manius looked back at Duke Koru and Earl Daeron who were still dining at the table, and asked irritably.

"After we received your order, we immediately followed them and sent people to find support. In fact, the two blue-haired foreigners were already captured just a few steps after we left the bridge. We wanted to take action at that time, But the Gith emissary's spies stopped us and asked us to observe for a while longer.

Because those mercenaries did not have a fierce conflict with the two foreigners at that time, nor did they harm them, so we accepted the Gith’s proposal. We continued to follow them until they arrived outside a pub. That seemed to be their base camp, so we didn't act rashly and waited until reinforcements arrived. "Manius's guard captain said clearly.

"Then what?"

"After all our people were in place, we surrounded the tavern and sent people in to search. The people in the tavern did not resist... We originally thought there would be a fierce battle.

We searched one by one, but until the end we found no trace of the two blue-haired foreigners. "The captain said and lowered his head.

"Escaped through the back door?"

"It's impossible. We've blocked all the exits of the tavern. It's impossible to even climb through the windows."

"That means there is a tunnel?"

"It's possible that I ordered them to search thoroughly at that time, but before we could check a few rooms, we were driven out by a group of tiger-robed troops who arrived later."

"Tiger Robe Army? That's ridiculous. You didn't tell them who you are?" Manius said angrily.

"Of course I did, but the other party didn't give us any face at all. They also said that this tavern is the property of the Chiheda family and told us not to cause trouble for no reason."

"How dare a slave of the Tiger Robe Army speak like that?" Manius almost laughed angrily.

"That man led a group of tiger-robed troops, but he himself was not a slave. Judging from his appearance, he should be a noble son of the Qiheda family. The tone he spoke at that time was not to warn us, but to warn you, and he And he said..." The captain hesitated a little.

"What are you stuttering about?"

"He told you to go back and learn your legal provisions honestly, and stay less involved in matters related to politics and business, otherwise he will teach you a lesson on your brother's behalf." Before the captain of the guard could finish speaking, he was kicked by Manius. on the ground.

After this kick, Manius still felt uneasy. He was about to step forward to make up for it, but suddenly remembered that Duke Kolu and the others were still looking at him not far away, so he suppressed the anger.

He turned back to the table, thinking quickly about how to explain this as he went.

This was the first thing I did for Duke Koulu. It was a small and extremely small thing that I asked for help, but I actually failed to do it.

Maybe, this will directly give the other party the impression that you are a waste, and you are also a waste with no clue.

"What's wrong?" After hearing the Duke's voice, Manius realized that he had returned to the table.

"There was a little incident." Manius organized his words.

"Run away or dead?" Ian asked casually.

In fact, Ian didn't take this matter too seriously at first. After all, he just saw two blue-haired mercenaries whose ages were consistent with Griffin and Bronn from a distance, people with blue hair from Volantis. There were too many, and he didn't think those two would appear here at this time.

But after these people ran away from Manius, a local snake, Ian's mind immediately changed.

A group of mercenaries suddenly chased two such inconspicuous people in the city of Volantis, and they were able to escape from Manius afterwards, which can only explain one problem - Volantis and players .

Only players can see through Bronn's identities, and only players can get rid of Manius' men so easily.

"Run away." Manius said in a low voice.

"Go on." Ian nodded, "Let's talk about it in detail."

It didn't matter if he ran away, and Ian even thought it was a good thing.

Aegon VI's claim to the Iron Throne is no longer likely to have any impact on Ian now, and a small golden group is also dispensable to Ian. Ian doesn't care much about their life or death. If their appearance can blow potential Volantis players out of the water, then they deserve to die.

"Okay, Your Excellency." Manius thought for a moment, then chose to paraphrase the words of his guard captain just now, modifying the part about which he was warned, and then relayed them to Ian.

"Who is the Qiheda family?" Ian asked knowingly. Not long ago, he had checked the important political information of Volantis collected by his intelligence officer, and he was impressed by this name.

"The Chiheda family is a noble family within the Black Wall of Volantis. Their family's Elios Chiheda is a senior senator in the Great Council and a veteran candidate for consul of the Elephant Party." Mani When Us said this, he seemed to want to say something more, but he hesitated.

"Oh? The tiger-robed army under the candidate consul family dare to openly oppose the current consul family?" Ian said in an exaggerated tone.

"Actually, our two families are related by marriage," he couldn't hide it. "My second brother is married to the daughter of Senator Elios Chiheda. At the same time, my second brother is also the most promising person in our family to inherit the position of head of the family," Ma said. Nius scratched his hair, his eyes wandering, "So this matter cannot be regarded as a conflict between the Chiheda family and the Wisama family. At most, it can be regarded as... I am joking."

Although Manius said these words in a calm tone, Ian could clearly feel the hatred with gritted teeth when he mentioned his second brother, and the resentment and self-deprecation when he mentioned the word nonsense.

This is consistent with the information Ian collected in advance.

Manius is the legitimate son of the second (not current) wife of Consul Neciso Visama. He is the third among the brothers in the family and is 25 years old this year. His eldest brother is 27 years older than him and is in charge of the family business. His second brother is 19 years older than him and is already a senior member of the Grand Council.

From the moment Manius was born, it was already destined that he would not inherit anything from this family. When he was 14 years old, he was sent to the house of the Tiger Party's Justice Palachiro Valeros as a student to study law and philosophy. It's not that the Wissama family wants to hedge their bets, it's just that they simply haven't paid much attention to Manius. They think that his position will have no impact whether he favors the Tiger Party or the Elephant Party.

Later, Manius became the chief disciple of Parachiro Valeros because of his intelligence and erudition, and thus finally attracted the attention of his super stallion father Neciso. But it also attracted even more crazy suppression and exclusion from the two half-brothers.

His status in the Visama family is not even as good as his father's dozens of illegitimate children. After all, illegitimate children do not pose a threat to the inheritance rights of his two brothers, but he does.

This experience shaped Manius. He was more ambitious than anyone else. He longed for power, glory, recognition, and revenge against his two brothers.

So when Ian offered to help him fight for the position of head of the family, he could hold back his anger and continue to listen to Ian's proposal about making Volantis surrender. So when Ian proposed the slogan of making Volantis great again , he would be so excited.

That's why Ian took a fancy to Manius at a glance from the list of dozens of 'potential leaders' submitted by the intelligence agency.

"Don't be so frustrated," Ian reached out and patted Manius on the shoulder. "As long as there is no problem with loyalty, I usually have great tolerance for my subordinates and partners."

"Give me some time and I will get them back for you." Manius quickly promised after seeing this.

"No, no, no, no, no," Ian waved his hand, "Did you know? I gave you those conditions before because I mistakenly thought that you had a pivotal position in the Wisama family, and Nexiso was in power. The son of an official and Justice Palachiro's favorite student. That's where your value lies, but now you suddenly tell me that you have no status within the Visama family." Ian made an embarrassing move. The expression, “Why don’t I find someone else to work with?”

"No," Manius retorted firmly, "I am my value, regardless of identity, status or connections. If you want to get Volantis for your master, you need me. If You want to restore the glory of Valyria, and you need me too."

"Prove it to me." Ian smiled.

“Before,” Manius’s mind was thinking rapidly, “just when you mentioned your idea of ​​seizing the ship in Slaver’s Bay, I had already completed a more feasible plan in my mind. "He said and looked at Duke Koulu.

Ian didn't answer, but looked at him to indicate that he should continue.

"The Volantis hero who retrieved the ship from Slaver's Bay cannot be me." Manius's first words shocked Ian.

"Oh? Are you going to give up this opportunity?"

"It is impossible for Volantis citizens to allow both father and son to become consuls at the same time. If I am elected, my father's position will only be replaced."

"Isn't this good? Your relationship with them is not good. If you replaced your father, I can already imagine the expression on your second brother's face when he got the news."

"Of course it's great for me personally, but it won't benefit His Majesty's plan to conquer Volantis." Manius organized his words quickly. He spoke fluent Common Tongue and used the third person address. Dragon King Ian directly used 'his grace', "Because even if I don't replace my father, we can force my father to submit as long as we use the influence of the slave trade on the Wisama family."

"How to do it?"

"When you are taking advantage of the sky-high price of food to seize the ships in Slaver's Bay, don't leave our Visama family's ships alone. You just need to seize all our ships. My elder brother who is responsible for managing the trade will immediately fall into There is a huge crisis of trust, and my second brother will never miss this opportunity to challenge his elder brother."

"You want to provoke a fight between the two of them and then profit from it?" Ian nodded, understanding Manius' plan.

"It's not about profit, it's about making a complete comeback, burying them both, and then becoming my father's only choice."

"Are you prepared?"

"I have been preparing for this day for ten years." Manius' eyes were fierce.

"I will provide you with any help you need when the time comes." Ian felt like he liked this kid more and more.

"In this way, we have obtained my father's vote, and the hero's position is still vacant."

"So who do you think should be the hero?"

"My teacher Palachiro Valeros, I know him well, and he will never refuse such an honor. If we can use this condition to draw him into our camp, then among the three consuls at that time, Your Majesty will We got two votes." Manius said, looking at Duke Korlu, "In the end, we only need to deal with Lord Malachor. If the three consuls reach an agreement, Volantis will usher in her. emperor."

"What about you? What did you gain by doing this?" Ian was slightly shocked. If this kid's plan could be realized, the efficiency would indeed be much higher than his original plan.

"everything."

"Yes," Ian laughed, without delving into the meaning of 'everything'. "You have my approval. However, before executing that distant plan, I need you to do one thing first."

"You say."

"Cooperate with my people to find out the identity of the mercenary who captured the blue-haired father and son and the force behind it, as well as the relationship between this force and the Qiheda family, your second brother, and any major force." In fact, this is what happened. Ian just said what he meant by 'prove it to me'.

He just wanted Manius to help investigate how much power the suspected player had in Volantis and who he had colluded with. As for the upgraded plan proposed by Manius, it was a complete surprise for Ian.

"Of course it's no problem," Manius quickly realized this, "I'm going to check now!" He stood up as he said that.

"By the way," Ian stopped him, "If the Great Council's discussion on 'whether to support Slaver's Bay' comes to an end, remember to find a way to get me a copy of the meeting minutes. I hope to know every Volantis senator. specific speech.”

"Okay, I'll think of a solution." Manius hesitated and agreed.

Ian high-fived his hands, then spread them out, "Everything," he said to Manius.
