Astapor lies at the mouth of a winding river, known to the Astaporians as the Worm River, which flows from the east into Slaver's Bay. To its south are the Ghiscari Mountains, within which the ruins of the ancient city of Ghis are hidden.

According to Darren's judgment, Ian's fleet has less than half a day's sail left from the city.

The voyage from the west side of the Valyrian Peninsula to Astapor took Ian a month. Originally they could have arrived about three or four days earlier than now, but after entering the Gulf of Sorrow, Ian deliberately let Dai Ren slowed down slightly.

In this way, he delayed his arrival in Astapor until after the settlement day of the fifth month.

This time, he received [40 points, 4888 golden dragons, and 1 self-selected S-level NPC (in the area)].

In this way, Ian's wealth once again exceeded 100,000 gold dragons. With this money, even if Ian did not rely on dragons, he could already buy almost all the Unsullied in Astapor.

But it's not without bad news. There are only 22 players left, which means that you only have two months left in your standings rewards at most.

Just in the middle of last month, a big event happened in Volantis - the second bounty mission was found in the box in Volantis, and along with it, three players were eliminated in one day. .

Ian initially judged that the alliance of two or three players dormant in Volantis that day launched an ultimate showdown.

Of course, the players who had not found the second bounty box until this time did not pose much of a threat to Ian. In contrast, Ian's real enemies were the players who had obtained the box in Old Town and those in the North. The group that caused the trouble.

Without continuing to worry about other players, Ian logged into the system and he was about to start drawing S cards for the past two months.

The three cards in the first set he obtained were the [Black Goat Cavalry of Qohor], which he had accompanied twice, and the [Unsullied Spear Master], which he had accompanied once, and [Meereen Champion Gladiator]. 】.

This result is somewhat excessive, but considering that there are already a lot of S-level NPCs cultivated by the system, it is understandable that those who are not selected by other players are repeatedly drawn by themselves.

I can understand a hammer! The NPC is in the area! He drew them in Pentos, he drew them in Tyrosi, so why the hell could he draw them in Astapor? Could these guys be following me? There must be something shady here!

Although he scolded the system, Ian had no way of reporting the shady case, so he could only accept his fate and choose [Champion Gladiator of Meereen].

[Kohor Black Goat Cavalry] He has rejected it twice. This time he has completely made up his mind. I just don’t want him!

As for [Unsullied Spear Master] Mamad, he is about to buy all the Unsullied. What is the point of having one more? Anyway, the loyalty of the Unsullied itself is not inferior to that of NPCs.

Soon, a data card appeared in front of Ian.

[Sama: Strength 36, Agility 38, Mental Strength 1

Proficient in scimitar, advanced in swordsmanship, intermediate in riding skills

Equipment: Scimitar of Gith]

"Sure enough, I have always been lucky, and my agility is slightly above the standard." Ian nodded, accepting the result this time, and then clicked on the second card.

This group has become the [Black Goat Cavalry of Qohor] who comes to accompany the race for the fourth time, the [Unsullied Spear Master] who comes to accompany the race for the third time, and a new card [Dothraki Bloodrider] .

Ian didn't even look at the attributes of the new card's bloodrider, and just clicked on the selection.

[Quigo: Strength 33, Agility 35, Mental Strength 1

Arakh scimitar proficiency, bow and arrow proficiency, riding proficiency

Equipment: Arakh scimitar, Dothraki trot, compound bow]

Quigo's attributes are relatively average, but his skill proficiency is worthy of the S-level rating.

Later, Ian learned from Anne that the champion gladiator Sama was in Astapor, and that the bloodrider Quigo could arrive in Astapor within ten days (from this time, Ian could judge that Quigo Currently in Meereen).

After arranging for the NPC to find his own problem later, Ian exited the system and came to the deck.

About four hours later, the Kiss of the Breeze slowly approached the port of Astapor. The huge harpy statue on the harbor gate appeared in Ian's field of vision - it had the body of a woman, the wings of a bat, the legs of an eagle and the tail of a scorpion, holding open handcuffs in its claws.

The harpy is the symbol of the ancient Ghiscari Empire. It was once one of the most powerful empires in the world. As early as the Valyrian Freehold was still a primitive society, the Empire of Gith had created many empires. for a glorious civilization.

However, the Valyrians later obtained the dragons, and with this advantage, they defeated the Gith Empire in five major wars, and destroyed the latter more than five thousand years ago. After the fall of Gith, the Valyrians covered every inch of it with salt, brimstone, and bones to prevent any survivors from returning.

Although the people of Astapor today claim to be the sons of the Harpy, they no longer have the pure blood of Gith. Their official language is a dialect of High Valyrian, and their Harpy What he holds in his hands is no longer the 'lightning' of the ancient empire, but has been replaced by shackles.

Ian suddenly thought that if someone from the Gughis Empire saw the three cities of Slaver's Bay today, they would probably be as sad as the Romans when they saw the later Italy.

"Ian," Celia's voice interrupted Ian's thoughts, "your queen does not accept your suggestion that she stay on the ship."

Although Ian warned Celia many times not to mention the word 'your queen' in front of him, the warning not only failed to work, but made her even worse.

She was obviously certain that Ian would not risk losing half of his points to deal with her because of such an insignificant matter... Ian had to admit that she was right.

"She said she wanted to speak to the Good Lord of Astapor herself, as it was her duty as queen," Celia continued.

"Obligation." Ian held his forehead, "This at least proves that she has listened to my lectures."

"So what's your decision? If you insist that she stay on the ship, I can help you convince her."

"We can take her with us." Ian shook his head and rejected Celia's proposal.

"Why? Do you plan to let her see how the good masters of Astapor treat slaves?" Celia was a little surprised.

"She'll see it sooner or later."

"I thought you would give her a process instead of being so direct," Celia sneered, "How are you going to ensure that she doesn't lose control?"

"Why did she lose control?"

"Legal principles aside, she is the only dragon knight you can rely on."

Ian smiled and said nothing, and did not tell Celia the news that he had become a dragon spirit.

"Okay, as long as you're happy." Celia shrugged. She knew the look on Ian's face too well. He looked like this when he was caught by him in the Red Temple of Pentos. smile.

Whenever Ian smiles like this, it means everything is under his control, so why should he worry so much? I just work part-time, and it’s hard to say whether I’ll get paid in the end.

Celia left after saying that, and she had to arrange the whole arrangement of Daenerys' trip.
