Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"The new empire of Gith will undoubtedly be a slave-owning one. I don't know why the people from the Iron Bank will come to join in the fun." As soon as Xaro Xanwan Daxos took his seat, he faced the Iron Bank sitting on the other side. Envoy Hominus mocked, "Don't you Braavosi people always hate slavery the most?"

Xaro Xanwan Daxos is the messenger of Qarth, a bald man with a jeweled nose. As a member of the "Thirteen Giants", the top merchant guild of Qarth, his business is very dependent on the slave trade. .

Since Astapor was controlled by the outsider named Ian and implemented the so-called 'fifth-class slavery', due to the solidification of the slave hierarchy, the actual slave transaction volume in Slaver Bay has dropped significantly, and has fallen to its original level. Less than one-fifth of the total.

Qarth couldn't sit back and watch this happen, so he sent Xaro as an envoy to Slaver's Bay to see the situation. Unexpectedly, as soon as he disembarked in Astapor, he heard a very shocking news. Slaver's Bay was completely destroyed. It was under the control of the Westeros man named Ian Darry, and the other party also summoned a large army to fight the most powerful horse king on the Dothraki sea.

After hearing the news, Xaro Xanwan Daxos quickly came to Meereen without stopping, and immediately visited the agent of Lord Darry in Meereen. Bronn, the newly crowned Earl of Alos Island, , the Yunkai noble Grazdan Zor Eraz, and the Meereen noble Reznak Mor Reznak.

For a week after arriving in Meereen, he was not received. This humiliated Xaro, but just as he was about to leave Meereen and ignore this bird's breath, the Gith people came to Gurgith. News of the defeat of a Dothraki khalasar of more than ten thousand people to the south of the old site of Dakkar and the possession of all the women, children and birth horses in Drogo Khalkhalasar spread back to Meereen.

Seeing the carnival of the people of Meereen, Xaro Xanwan Daxos had to change his mind and stayed in Meereen, waiting for the meeting of the Provisional Ruling Council. After all, if Lord Darry really defeated the Horse King and left Meereen, then his business and even the entire Qarth business would be affected.

So Zaro waited in this depressing city for another full month before finally waiting for this interview.

He put on his most luxurious clothes and walked into the Great Pyramid in the center of Meereen City under the leadership of the guards. When he came to this hall, he realized that today's reception banquet was not prepared for him alone. of.

Envoys from New Ghis, Troos, Elia, Commissioners from Slaver's Bay in the Iron Bank, wealthy merchants from Volantis and the Three Daughters city-state, adventurers from Westeros who came here to visit, and even the two-headed monster from Mataris , this hall is actually full of people.

Xaro Xanwan Daxos was furious that the ruling council of Meereen looked down upon him and treated them the same. As the richest man in Qarth, Xaro alone owns 84 ships. His wealth alone has surpassed that of Loras or Norvos, the poorest among the nine free trade city-states. A whole city.

But after being left alone by these Gith people for more than a month, he was actually arranged to be received together with so many untouchables.

The three temporary members of the Slaver's Bay Governing Council had not yet arrived, so Xaro first vented his anger on the people of the Iron Bank.

After all, the Thirteen Giants also have huge banking business, and they are the most direct competitors with the Braavos Iron Bank.

"It's really hard for me to believe that such words would come out of the mouth of a big businessman like you." Hominas, the Iron Bank envoy, responded with a smile, "Isms are doctrines, and business is business. If you don't understand this truth, , the business won’t be big.”

As Hominas spoke, he held up a bone china cup with his slender fingers and took a sip of the tea in the cup. "Look at this thing. What do you see?"

Xaro took it with some confusion and observed it. The small cup was milky white, with a soft luster and the texture of jade. The body of the cup was surprisingly delicate, and the glaze was smooth and crystal clear.

"I don't know what you are showing off. This thing is indeed very good, but if you want to compare it with the Yi Di porcelain in my collection, there is still a big gap. That was the collection of Yi Di Emperor Bu Yi, ten years ago." General Boxiong, the Hammer of Juggsnai, proclaimed himself emperor in the trading city of Calm, challenging the authority of Emperor Buqi.

In order to raise military funds, the fortune teller had to sell the collection in the palace. As the highest bidder at the time, I won the set of porcelain. If you are lucky enough to visit Qarth anytime, I will definitely open your eyes. "Zaro put the cup down again, with a 'you've never seen the world' look on his face. Showing off his wealth made him feel better.

"So how much did it cost you to get your collection?" Hominas was not disappointed, and still had a smile on his face.

"If you put them here, they can buy an entire army." I exchanged it, but I didn’t even agree.”

"But what if I tell you that for porcelain of this quality," Hominas played with the bone china cup in his hand, "the people of Astapor are looking to mass-produce it?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zaro slapped the table and stood up, immediately attracting the attention of everyone. He was a little embarrassed, and quickly sat down again, whispering, "Although the quality of this thing is far from mine. Collection, but looking at the entire Yi Land, only the emperor’s royal kiln can carry out mass production, how could the Gith people have such technology?”

"Because of divine grace." Hominas smiled.

"What?" Zaro's eyes twitched.

"In addition to this kind of porcelain, there are also armors and weapons newly produced in Astapor. The quality of the fine products has reached the pinnacle level of unenchanted products made by Qohor craftsmen, and these things are... Something to do with fire.”

"Fire?" Xaro was stunned for a moment, then remembered something, "You said that the people of Astapor obtained these superb craftsmanships because they received the grace of the red god R'hllor? This is ridiculous."

"Gold and silver will never be ridiculous," Hominas spread his hands, "Whoever gives us wealth is our true god." He said for a while and pointed to Mi, who was sitting not far away. Forest Green Saint Grazdan Kalal said, "By the way, they also found another evidence."

"What?"

"The old woman took out an ancient book collected in the Temple of the Great Holy Grace, which recorded the performance of Grazdan Sixty-Six, the last emperor of the Ancient Ghis Empire, when the Valyrians finally attacked the city of Ghis. .

The city of Gith fell under the dragon flames of Valyria. Emperor Grazdan Sixty-sixth threw down his purple robe and crown at the last moment and rushed into the enemy camp to face the flames spouted by the dragon. Everyone thought the emperor had died in the battle, but his bravery in the last moments impressed the God of Fire. R'hllor took the emperor's soul and placed it in the fire to nurture, while leaving behind a prophecy that five thousand years later, when the Gith rekindle the sacred fire, their emperor will return like lightning and rekindle Put the world under your feet.
