Game of Thrones: Battle Royale Game

The grain transport ship could only go as far north as the town of Sehoru. Here, Ian Kolu and his party changed into a local punting boat. The group split into two, and the pious captain found by Magi Luo Ian and others have never appeared in public to buy it from the boatman.

Although Sehoru Town has now been taken over by cronies sent by Belicio Valeros and Count Darren Grafson, Ian did not choose to meet them in order to avoid the news leaking.

In this way, Ian's boat headed north towards the Lorne River, heading all the way to the Heartbreak Territory.

Because of the need to resolve the relationship with the player in the heartbroken leader, this trip to Volantis took far longer than Ian expected. This forced him to take time to board his ship while sailing upstream to Meereen to complete the coronation ceremony that had already been scheduled.

The time difference between Volantis and Slaver's Bay is not big, and daytime in Meereen is also daytime on the River Rhoyne, so Ian's actions cannot be misaligned.

Because the coronation ceremony would take up a whole day of his time, Ian was worried that his clone would encounter river pirates while hanging up, so before leaving, he asked Maggio and Melisandre who were accompanying him to pause their progress and ask them to find A secluded place to rest for the day.

Although there are only a dozen people brought by Ian this time, they are all the most elite warriors and equipped with the most sophisticated equipment. Unless they encounter an enemy three to five times their size, they should not pose a threat to them.

After arranging everything, Ian turned his consciousness back to his original body.

"Your Majesty, are you awake?" Yada, the water dancer, was guarding Ian's bedside. When he saw Ian open his eyes, he immediately asked.

"How are the preparations for the ceremony going?" Ian asked straight to the point without greeting him.

"Everything is fine, I'm just waiting for you to attend." Yada told the truth.

Although His Majesty has not made many public appearances in Meereen these days, there are several versions of the story circulating in Meereen, such as the news that Ian is seriously ill and dying, and that Ian is seriously injured and will die soon.

But the nobles of Meereen have all learned a lot after experiencing the previous food shortage crisis. Yada is willing to bet that these people will never dare to make any small moves unless they confirm with their own eyes that Ian has swallowed his last breath. .

"Well," Ian nodded. This was a matter of course. "Let the chief of ceremonies come in. I want to confirm the process with him again."

"Yes." Yada accepted the order, and then asked an Unsullied person to make the trip.

Three minutes later, the officiant came to Ian's room and confirmed the final process with Ian.

After confirming the entire process of the coronation ceremony, the chief of ceremonies handed Ian a piece of information: ""This is the list of people who will swear allegiance to you today and swear allegiance to you as emperor again. It is Dany. Queen Liss, Lord Grazdan and Lord Hominas jointly drafted it, please confirm it again. "

Ian glanced at the long list and suddenly felt a little dizzy.

The main nobles of the cities of Meereen, Yunkai, Astapor, New Gis, Tros, Elea and other cities, the representatives of the high-ranking slaves among the Gith slaves who were upgraded due to their military exploits, and Raza from the Giskali Mountains The leaders of the Linshandi Clan and the Gujisshandi Clan, the royal families of various cities in Lazarin and the leaders of various tribes, the leaders of several mercenary regiments that were formally incorporated into the regular army, and the leaders of several surrendered pirates in the Gulf of Grief. , and several small khalasar khaos operating south of the Dothraki Sea all gathered in Meereen to participate in their coronation ceremony.

The further he looked back, the deeper Ian's frown deepened.

This coronation is really a laborious job. You have to accept the allegiance of so many people, and then you have to confer titles on so many people. At least it has to last until night. How can you say that your throat is smoking? And when the time comes, I will have to wear a golden crown that incorporates elements from all the ethnic groups in the empire. Wouldn’t that mean my neck would be crooked?

And what's going on with these people? ! When Ian looked at the reward list, his face darkened instantly.

"Your Majesty?" Yada seemed to notice Ian's bad mood.

"These few," Ian suddenly pointed to a few names on the list, "and these few," he then called a few more names, "Forget it, let's just get rid of these people," he said and stood up He came to the table, picked up a pen and dipped it in ink, then drew a big circle on the list, "These people have been cancelled... and their qualifications to take solemn oaths have been cancelled."

"This" the Master of Ceremonies suddenly looked a little embarrassed. With a few strokes of his hands, Ian actually included more than two-thirds of the people on the list. Almost all those left outside the circle now are those who have contributed to the Horse King's War - military exploits, intelligence and logistics are all counted, but

"Your Majesty." The ceremonial official wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was a high-ranking noble of Meereen. He was from the family of the Great Master who was the first to join the royalist party. In addition, he had certain talents, so he was highly used. But this was the first time for Ian to deal with this kind of thing face to face.

"Your Majesty." He repeated again. His profession required him to remind Ian of the possible consequences of this decision, but as soon as he said the words, he instinctively felt scared. "The people on the list are all relatively important people. ," he finally chose to consider his words and reminded, "If you are not even willing to hold the oath ceremony with them alone, it may appear that you don't value them enough and cancel the conferment." He didn't know how to describe it. Not flipping the table?

"I don't pay much attention to them."

"Uh," the ceremonial officer choked.

"I know what you want to say, but do I need to make excuses with those little people?" Ian spread his hands, "The Archon of Xingis," he pointed at the first person, "Does Xingis fully support me? No, they initially sent troops only in response to the requests of Meereen and Yunkai, and at one point they were about to declare Eres a 'traitor to the nation' after Lord Commander Ereth Zor Emud swore allegiance to me.

Now New Gith is forced to be loyal to me, yes, but the new owner of New Gith can only be the Emde family. If that archon can accept this, then I will not begrudge him retaining his glory and wealth, but if he wants to gain my approval as the ruler of New Ghis, that is too much.

Then there are these two consuls, Troos and Aelia, who made a lot of money during our war with the Centaurs by raising the price of grain. They didn't even think of surrendering until my fleet arrived at their city, and now they still want me to continue to appoint them to rule these two cities? "

"As for these people," Ian then pointed to the Lazarin nobles on the list, "How do I remember that these tribes only surrendered after I defeated the Horse King? Do you even want to make Koslak the king? "

Kosrak was the only one of the three major cities in Lazarin that refused to surrender to him before the war. Even when he was in the Meereen Alliance, Kosrak's envoy shouted: 'The Dothraki did not make us surrender. The ogres of Adaka Kilaki did not make us surrender, nor did the storm of the Red Waste! ’ In this case, you are going against yourself in public.

Now, all these goods can be rewarded and transformed into important ministers of the empire? Is this what Daenerys, Grazdan and Hominus did?

Well, if you think about it carefully, isn't this what they should do?

The world of ice and fire itself is a place based on bloodline theory.

To give a few simple examples, in the drama version of the plot, Daenerys finally gave King Robert's illegitimate son Gendry the surname Baratheon and gave him the traditional fiefdom of the Baratheon family, Storm's End. (Although House Baratheon rebelled and seized the Iron Throne).

Also in the TV series plot, Jon Snow, who became the King of the North, pardoned the descendants of the Umber family and the Karstark family, and returned the Last Hearth and Kahor to them (although the Umber family The Karstark family once followed the Bolton family's illegitimate son Ramsay to rebel against the Stark family.)

Isn't this exactly the same thing as what these important ministers of my own are doing now?

Ian felt that his nose was almost crooked with anger. He regretted not letting Celia join this work. At least Celia would not be as ancestral as these aborigines, and she was more aware of his temper.

"Your Majesty, there is only less than an hour left for the ceremony to begin." Seeing Ian's anger, the ceremonial officer naturally did not dare to admonish him anymore. It would be of no benefit to him to speak for those people. "Do you need Shall I convey your decision to Lord Grazdan and the others?"

"Go ahead and tell them that these people, along with the mercenaries and pirates, have sworn allegiance to me, and my representatives of the slave soldiers will also be in front of them."

The temporary adjustments I made will definitely lead to changes in the entire process of the ceremony, but I can just leave these small things to Grazdan and the others. They didn't make arrangements properly before because they didn't know their own will. Now that they have given clear instructions, there is no reason why they still can't make arrangements properly.

An hour later, Ian dressed up and walked into the Pyramid of Holy Grace, which was originally the Temple of Holy Grace in Meereen and is now the Red Temple.

Compared with the Great Pyramid, the hall here was built for large-scale religious ceremonies and could accommodate more people, so Ian's coronation ceremony was scheduled here.

"Sorry, Ian, I heard that you are not satisfied with the reward plan we have drawn up." Daenerys was also dressed in a dress. She walked to Ian and held his hand skillfully, and then apologized in a low voice. .

"It's not your fault, it's just that I didn't make it clear at the beginning." Ian shook his head. At the beginning, he also thought about cultivating Daenerys' political abilities and turning her into a monarch who could cooperate with his governance.

Unexpectedly, as fate would have it, she never took out the time, and then accidentally became the Emperor of Valyria. Her claim to the Iron Throne was meaningless to her now, so she would not No more reason to teach her the ways of domination.

This time Ian put Daenerys on the team that was drawing up the bounty plan, and he didn’t expect her to work. He just wanted to take this opportunity to show his options to the Gith nobles and make them stop giving him a Gith. It's just the queen's thoughts.

"Yeah." Daenerys nodded. In fact, she didn't take this question to heart.

"What do you want to ask?" Ian noticed her hesitant expression.

"Do you still remember? Ian, when you first arrived in Astapor, you once mentioned your ideal to me." Daenerys held Ian's hand a little tighter.

"My ideal?" What is my ideal? Ian blinked and didn't remember it at all.

"Abolition of slavery! Complete abolition! You said you would bury slavery in the soil and let it become the dust of history, so that everyone can be free and not oppressed!" Daenerys said in a very firm tone .

Damn it? Do you still remember that incident? Ian resisted the urge to cover his face. He remembered that it was indeed him who drew this cake.

"You told me at the time that the time was not yet ripe. You said that our power was not enough. To liberate the slaves was to be an enemy of half the world. Before we accumulated enough power to shake the world, we could not be discovered by anyone. Intention." Daenerys said and paused, "So is the time now right?"

That definitely doesn't happen! It's a painted cake! Is it possible for the drawn cake to be cooked?

"You are already the emperor of the Gith and Lazarin people. The Qarthites have recognized your rule. The cities on the coast of Slaver's Bay have been conquered by you. Many khalasars south of the Dothraki Sea have also been conquered by you. Surrender to you." Daenerys didn't know about Volantis yet. "Is the time right now?" she asked again.

"What do you think?" Ian didn't know how to answer for a moment, so he kicked the ball back first.

"I" Daenerys thought the time was ripe, so she raised this topic, but when Ian asked, she suddenly lost confidence.

"Recall, did I issue a decree before, allowing first-class slaves to obtain free citizenship?" Ian thought for a while and said perfunctorily, "I have already made attempts to liberate the slaves. This is my success in ruling Slaver Bay. What we dared to do later, we didn’t dare to do before, right?”

"But how many first-class slaves are there? And about half of them are not willing to become free people at all." Daenerys immediately questioned.

Now that you’ve grown up, it’s hard to cheat, right?

"Then how do you know that other slaves are willing to be liberated?" Ian was a little impatient. He didn't need to explain this problem to Daenerys now, but deep down he didn't want her to find out about him before He was lying, so he had to find a way to continue perfunctory.

"this"

"It's time, let's discuss this issue later," Ian breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly heard the attendant's reminder, "Let's go in."

As Ian strode into the hall of the pyramid, all the rumors related to him that had accumulated in Meereen were instantly wiped out.

The staunchest royalists were the first to start chanting: "Long live the Emperor (may he rule long)!"

The other Gith nobles and Lazarin nobles followed closely, and then the whole place turned into a sea of ​​cheers.
