Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

After Prince Quentin Martell paid tribute and presented gifts to Ian, he had nothing else to do, so he simply resigned and prepared to return to Dorne.

Ian didn't intend to let them leave like this, but he didn't stop them either. He just ordered the pirates from Cedar Island to prepare in advance on the sea outside Meereen. He planned to have the pirates attack Quentin's ship on its way back, and then 'sell' them to the slave market in Volantis.

Of course, the buyer was also arranged by Ian in advance. After dealing with the matter in Meereen, Ian will directly drive the dragon back to Volantis, and he will definitely arrive before the pirates. He planned to arrange for his cronies in Volantis to 'discover' Quentin Martell and Ser Cleitus Yronwood in the hands of slave traders, and then present them to him.

Ian has not yet decided on the final fate of these two people, and is ready to wait and see how the situation in Dorne develops first.

After sending away the Dornish envoy, Ian ordered to summon the wizard from Qarth.

To be honest, Ian had never really wanted to deal with them before. After all, the power of wizards was a relatively unknown system to Ian, and the unknown often meant danger.

But fortunately, Ian is now a Green Seer master with a spiritual power of 80 and a legendary Red God priest. He can have a strong premonition of any danger in advance, so he will not be tricked by a few wizards.

After confirming that the wizards did not come with malicious intentions (or at least they did not intend to take any targeted actions this time), Ian accepted the audience at the Great Pyramid.

There were three people coming. They wore robes covered with beads. They had different looks but similar features. They all had pale skin and blue lips. The latter was caused by drinking the water of night shadow. It is said that this kind of magic Drinks allow them to pursue deeper knowledge.

"The great Emperor of Valyria and Gith, His Majesty Ian Darry," the leading wizard took a step forward, "I am Darya Pury, the wizard from Qarth, representing the noble immortal. We salute you.”

In Qarth, apart from the Immortals, Hai Ya Puri is probably the most talkative among the wizards.

"Please also say hello to them for me," Ian said politely, and then went straight to the point, "I wonder what the reason for your visit is, Mr. Yi Ya?"

"Your Majesty, I am here to discuss cooperation with you on behalf of Qarth."

"You represent Qarth?" Ian raised his eyebrows, "As far as I know, the rulers of Qarth are the royal family and the three major merchant guilds. Now it seems that the wizard's voice has improved a lot? "

"The rule of the royal family has become a thing of the past and will end soon." Bai Ya Puli said with a smile.

The wizard's power has indeed been restored. "What about the three major merchant guilds? The Thirteen Giants, the Ancient Spice Guild and the Tourmaline Brotherhood, are they also suppressed by you?" Ian asked immediately, he thought of Xaro... Xanwan Daxos.

That guy was one of the Thirteen Giants. He had previously represented Qarth as an envoy to Slaver's Bay. With the recommendation of Hominus, he helped him quell the unrest in Meereen and made a lot of money.

The pleasant cooperation and shared secrets allowed him to establish a good friendship with Ian. Although Ian's current strategy is to fully advance westward, it is still a good thing to have such an ally in Qarth in the east. En didn't want him to be eliminated by the wizard just like that.

"Some people are dead, others are still alive, but those who are alive have given up their ambitions for Qarth," Yaiya Puli bowed slightly, "Your Majesty can be completely assured of our ability to control Qarth."

"Then" Ian originally wanted to ask about Xaro Xanwan Dasos, but after thinking about it he gave up the plan, "Then let's start discussing the business. What is the purpose of your coming here?"

"The noble immortal has seen your majesty's future difficulties, and specially sent us to solve your problems." Haiya Puli's tone was as humble as possible, but it made Ian feel uncomfortable.

Ian remembered the old Qarth saying - the wizard's gift, nothingness and dust, but those words appeared during the period when magic disappeared. If Yaya Puli did not lie, and they have really defeated the royal family and controlled the three major merchant guilds of Qarth, then the power of the immortals and wizards cannot be underestimated. At least, at the same time, Valan The Great Red Temple of Tis could not seize power in Volantis on its own without outside aid.

"Go on, my friend," Ian didn't believe the wizard, but that didn't stop him from listening to what the wizard wanted to say.

"You want to enter the Narrow Sea, Your Majesty," Darya Puri was obviously happy to hear Ian call her a friend, "but you are worried about the navy of Braavos, and you are very worried about this." Troubled, we can only send the fleet to Dorne first."

"Oh?" Ian frowned, lost in thought.

Judging from the timeline, it was only a month ago that I sent the Slaver's Bay fleet to Volantis and a part of the Volantis fleet carrying the Golden Company to Westeros. Logically speaking, I was very interested in Weiss. There was no way that the news of Trot's attack would reach Qarth like this.

In fact, the news that he had successfully captured Volantis should have just reached Qarth. If you add in the time when the wizards took the boat from Qarth to Meereen. The fact that Yaya Puli could say these words at this time can only prove that the immortals are really seeing in their illusions. To what.

This is not a strange thing. After all, when Daenerys entered the Temple of the Immortal in the original book, the immortals were still in a state where their magic had almost completely unrecovered. They were able to make Daenerys see so many visions that were later fulfilled. Now that the resurgence of magic is so evident throughout the world, it's not unusual for the Immortals to see some glimpses of the future.

The only thing that puzzles Ian is why he and Melisandre can't see their future through flames? However, Ian did not continue to struggle and nodded for the wizard to continue.

"Qarth has a navy, your majesty, a powerful navy," Yaiya Puri spoke again after seeing this, "We can help you enter the Narrow Sea with the Volantis fleet to fight and defeat the Braavos. End Braavos' control of the Narrow Sea."

"Really?" Ian was a little moved, but he didn't show it, "So, what's the price?"

"A dragon." Haiya Puli held out a finger, "We need a dragon, the smallest one will do."

I knew it! Ian's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Dear Your Majesty," perhaps because he thought he had angered Ian, Yaya Puli lowered his posture, "You have four dragons, and one missing one will not have any impact on you. Moreover, these dragons need a long period of time. Time to grow, they can’t help you.”

"And Qarth can help me defeat the Braavos?"

"Far more than that, Qarth's navy and wealth can help you conquer the world. Not only can we provide you with the powerful Qarth navy, but we can also provide you with a huge sum of money. We can even provide you with money if you need it. We can send several powerful wizards to serve you." Haiya Puli's words were somewhat inflammatory.

Although Ian was not affected by the other party's emotions, he did feel that the wizard's conditions were not a loss for him. If he exchanged a young dragon that could not grow quickly for the fleet, funds and wizard's men, it would be beneficial at least in the short term. The advantages outweigh the disadvantages, and it just so happens that what Ian wants to play is short-term speedrunning.

What Ian is really worried about now are actually two issues. One is the poor credit of the wizards of Qarth, which makes it difficult to believe that they will really abide by the agreement, and the other is the use of dragons in the hands of the Immortals.

"The people of Qarth don't have the blood of the ancient Valyrian Dragon King. You can't control the dragon. The dragon is of no use to you." Ian thought for a while and asked, "Do the noble immortals just want to change to a dragon?" Go back and put him in a cage and raise him?"

"." Haiya Puli's eyes changed slightly, "Immortals have their own wisdom, I can't speculate."

"You'd better choose to be honest." Ian reminded in a deep voice, "otherwise it will be difficult for me to agree to this deal."

"This" Haiya Puli hesitated for a while, and finally began to say, "Dragon blood can help immortals quickly restore their strength and vitality. Blood magic is the most powerful magic, and dragon blood is the most powerful. Sacrifice.”

"In other words, my dragon will be killed by you?"

"I'm not sure whether to kill him directly or draw blood for a long time will ultimately be decided by the immortals." Yaya Puli glanced at Ian nervously, and then quickly looked away.

Yi Ya Pu Li's answer made Ian somewhat doubt whether the other party really wanted to cooperate with him. After all, things like killing dragons or taking dragon blood might anger him. Logically speaking, the other party should not do it. Say it upfront instead of doing it secretly and behind your back.

Everyone knows that after such a thing is said, the probability of the two parties collapsing will greatly increase.

But Haiya Puli still said it, why?

Obviously after the transaction, even if he found out that they had killed the dragon, he would not dare to fall out. After all, the dragon had been traded, and it was the other party's freedom to use it, and he would have to rely on Qarth's fleet to fight in the future. I can only suffer this dumb loss.

So, why is Haiya Puli so candid? Ian used his mental power to sense the wizard standing in the middle of the hall, and suddenly found that the other man was filled with fear.

He's afraid of me and doesn't dare to offend me? That's possible, but what about the immortal behind him? Could it be that they are also afraid of me?

Ian thought for a moment and came up with a good idea - free prostitution.

Propose to let Qarth work first, and then pay the dragon. If the other party agrees, then the deal is done. If the other party does not agree, then pull it down. This can also further test Qarth's attitude.

"Forget it, I don't care how you plan to use it." Ian waved his hand.

"Oh?" Haiya Puli's eyes lit up, "So you are ready to accept this deal?"

"What reason do I have not to accept it?" Ian smiled, "Your reason is very good. I have four dragons and I don't care about this one at all, and Qarth can give me a huge help. You just mentioned Qarth In addition to the navy, Sri Lanka will also provide me with funds. I wonder if this fund is available?"

"50,000 Qarth gold coins?" Hai Ya Pu Li tentatively said a number.

"Is this the sincerity of Qarth? Are you sending beggars away?" Ian's mouth twitched. The weight of Qarth's golden coins is only about one-third of the golden dragon. The benefactor of Astapor originally proposed to use If all the Unsullied were exchanged for one dragon, the value of those Unsullied would be more than 100,000 gold dragons. The wealthy Qarth could actually offer such a price.

"We also dispatched the navy, which is also a huge expense." Bai Ya Puli saw that Ian's face was wrong, and he was worried that the other party would say the word "get out" next moment, so he increased the price and said, "100,000 Qarth’s Golden Coin?”

"Being able to offer such a price, I begin to wonder whether you have control over the three major merchant guilds of Qarth. You make me feel like a beggar who has never seen money. Similarly, I also begin to wonder whether you have control over the three major merchant guilds in Qarth. It’s a messenger sent by the Immortal.”

"This" Haiya Pu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that so much money could not satisfy the appetite of Emperor Gis.

In fact, Yaya Puli did not offer a low price intentionally. The main reason is that the wizards of Qarth have not been very wealthy during the long years when magic disappeared, and even the Palace of the Immortal has turned into a dilapidated building and dust. There is no money to repair the palace.

Although they succeeded in seizing the power of Qarth this time, several wizards and messengers, including Haiya Puri, had not come into contact with the bills of the three major guilds, and had no idea how rich they were now, 100,000 gold coins. For him, it was already too much to think about (ps: in the TV series, Bai Ya Puli was changed into one of the Thirteen Giants, but in the original book, he was not).

"Maybe you need to prove to me that you are real wizards first." Seeing the silence of the wizards, Ian suddenly had another idea.

"How do you need us to prove it? Use magic?" Yaya Puli frowned, and he remembered the instructions given to him by the Immortal before he left Qarth - not to play with magic in front of Ian Darry. Because the opponent may be the most powerful mage in the world today, even at Qarth's home court, even if several immortals have recovered their strength, they have no confidence that they can fight against him.

Bai Ya Puli didn't know what the immortals saw in the illusion, but he would never question their words. This is why he never thought of forcing Ian to compromise after coming to Meereen. reason.

[ps: hurry up and solve the puzzle directly: the illusion of the Immortal Palace will not appear in chronological order (see Chapter 48 of the original Clash of Kings for details). The Immortal saw the future Ian when he peeked at Ian's illusion. , they thought that Ian was already so powerful now. After all, whether it was resurrecting the dragon, defeating Khal Drogo or conquering Volantis in a week, in their opinion, it was not something that could be done by humans. The only possibility was that Ian Well, I used powerful magic]

"Use your wits," Ian corrected, "You must have heard of ghost grass, right?"
