Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

"Do the Gith people have such a prophecy?" learn."

"Don't blame you. I have been in Meereen for 20 years and I have never heard of such a prophecy." Hominus laughed, "But didn't the Temple of Holy Grace make it very clear? Those are two Green Saint Grazdan Kalal only discovered it a few months ago when she was sorting out ancient books. It has been lost for thousands of years. Isn't it normal that no one has heard of it?"

"More than two months ago, that was the time when Lord Darry entered Meereen." Xaro thought in an instant.

"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say." Hominas stretched out his index finger and put it on his lips, making a shushing gesture.

"Huh," Zaro took a deep breath and looked around. Although the distance between each table in this wide hall was very far, it was impossible for others to hear him in the noisy environment at this moment. Not high, and the Qarthian language they used to talk may not be understood by others, but he still kept his voice as low as possible, "Earl Darry was already arranging things after the war at that time? Including calling him Emperor, and let the entire Slaver's Bay and even the Raza region convert to the Red God?"

The authority of the Green Saint and the miracle of defeating the Dothraki are enough to convince the vast majority of uneducated people that this is a miracle, but for superiors like Xaro and Hominus, such an operation is not It's nothing new. Just based on the 'prophecy' he heard, Xaro immediately guessed Ian Darry's plan.

But, "Where did he get this confidence?" Zaro looked at Hominas, his old friend and rival, "Where did you get your confidence?"

"Actually, I don't have that much confidence, but I have no other choice. I lent all the inventory of the Iron Bank in Slaver's Bay and New Gis, as well as the funds in the accounts of all the chambers of commerce in which I invested, a total of 500,000 gold coins. The finance minister of Earl Darry, and lent them all the ships owned by my chamber of commerce for the transportation of military supplies and soldiers." Hominas spread his hands, "We are now in a completely co-existing relationship."

"Are you crazy? Hominus," Xaro felt like he was dreaming, "You are just the son of a keykeeper in the Iron Bank, but the Iron Bank has 23 keykeepers. Although you are in charge of Slaver's Bay, business, but the money is not yours! How dare you?

Defeating a horse king with ten thousand roaring warriors is two different things than defeating Drogo. Drogo has more than 40,000 roaring warriors and is the most powerful horse king on the Dothraki sea! And I've also heard that Fermor Zor Na'croz depleted nearly all of the Unsullied in the coalition in order to defeat the enemies he encountered on Ghistaka. "

"I didn't make such a large investment at the beginning," Hominas shook his head with a smile, "That was several months ago. When she first came to me, it was just to do a small business. Of course, business, I mean judging from your size, it is just a small business." He said and pushed out the small porcelain cup in his hand again, "She told me to sell me this."

"She?" What Zaro focused on was not the porcelain, but the word "she".

"You see, you Qarthites are so arrogant." Hominus pursed his lips slightly, "You have been in Meereen for more than a month, but you don't even know that Lord Darry's finance minister is a woman. .”

"I" Zaro was a little embarrassed.

"Is it in the eyes of you Qarthites that whenever you go to a place, as long as you say your name, everyone should greet you with courtesy?"

"Isn't it supposed to be like this?" Zaro asked matter-of-factly.

"So you deserve to be left out for more than a month," Hominus shrugged and returned to the topic, "Her name is Celia, she is the Supreme Priest of the Red God in Slaver's Bay and the finance minister of Ian Darry. To be honest, if another person came to me to discuss such a small business, I would not be able to meet him. There is only a set of porcelain, a pot and nine cups. Although the quality is still high, it is not as good as the ones I use for my collection. There are still gaps in Yidi porcelain.

I was worried that I would offend the other party if I refused, so I offered a high price to accept it. It was much higher than the normal market price, but it didn't matter to me. I regarded it as a gift and used it as a gift to the other party. this friend.

The accident happened the next day. The woman visited me again and said she had more porcelain to sell. I thought it was quite ridiculous at the time. She seemed to regard me as a cash cow, but it didn't matter. It just happened that I could take this opportunity to show the financial power of the Iron Bank to the new ruler of Astapor. So I waved my hand and told her vigorously, I want all your goods."

"result?"

"As a result, she brought a whole small boat, one-third of which were of high quality," Hominas pointed to the porcelain cups on the table, "that's what they are. The rest are slightly worse, but the overall quality is extremely high. "

"Impossible! Even if you wait for a year in Yindu, you can't collect a whole boat of porcelain of this quality." Xaro immediately retorted, but then he remembered what Hominus said before and asked quickly, "So Are these things really produced by Astapor itself?”

Xaro suddenly panicked. The reason why Qarth became one of the richest cities in the world was mainly because it monopolized the trade routes between the East and the West. Porcelain was one of the important profits. If in Astapor A new porcelain production site has emerged, which will bring huge losses to Qarth.

"That's right," Hominas admitted, "I was stunned on her boat at that time. I didn't know how long it took before I told her in embarrassment that I couldn't possibly buy all the goods at yesterday's price. , but as long as the price is right, I will buy all of them.

We quickly sold the deal at a price that was slightly lower than the market price in Slaver's Bay. This thing became more expensive as we went west, so I immediately arranged for a ship to transport the things back to Braavos. The value of this ship of porcelain will be worth the value of our iron vault. A full year of interest income from the Slaver's Bay Division.

Just as I was immersed in joy, Lady Celia suddenly told her that she was preparing to establish a large-scale production base in Astapor, including mainly focusing on ceramics, metallurgy, forging and textile industries. At her invitation, I went to Astapor and visited their porcelain kilns, metallurgical workshops and textile fields. Although the porcelain kilns and metallurgical workshops are small in scale, and the textile field only has a name, She assured me they had extremely advanced workmanship."
