Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

Chapter 44 Saying Goodbye to Mill

"You mean, they are ready to leave?"

Harry Strickland, the leader of the Golden Legion, stood in the office of the Myr City Defense Command Center with his hands behind his back, looking out the glass window at the bustling city streets.

After the death of Myth Toyne, the "homeless" Harry Strickland took over as leader of the Golden Company.

Harry Strickland's great-grandfather lost his family fiefdom because he supported Daemon Blackfyre's rebellion. Therefore, the three generations following Harry's grandfather were all born in foreign lands and raised in the Golden Company. He liked to boast that his family had "four generations of loyalists to the Golden Company." Before being promoted to regimental commander, Harry served as the regiment's treasurer. He is fat, with a big round head, light gray eyes, and thin hair that he brushed aside to cover up his bald head.

Harry hardly looked like a warrior, but more like a businessman who calculated his gains and losses.

"Yes," a Myr-born commander reported to Harry. Nowadays, the members of the Golden Company are no longer all exiles or their descendants. Many new faces have joined the mercenary group. What they agree with is not the philosophy of Black Fire, but the creed of "words are like gold". "Their ship is loading, and the contract for berthing at the port will not be renewed. They should leave Myr in the next few days. The sailors on the ship said they would return to Pentos, and some said they would go to Thailand. Losey.”

"Where do you think they will go?" Harry asked him.

The young commander comes from a wealthy merchant family in Myr and is keen on business: "It should be Tyrosh. The Spice Governor's ship can easily pass through the blockade, and the Myr cargo on board can make them make a lot of money in Tyrosh." . Otherwise they wouldn’t have stayed so long and bought goods in Myr. The things in Myr are good, but they are not in short supply in Pentos.”

"Tyroshi" Harry muttered the name of the place, "Tyroshi. Okay, you go and ask Franklin to come over."

"Yes, Captain."

Franklin's full name is Franklin Flower. Flower is the surname of the illegitimate son of the Reach. This means that his father was born into the nobility of the Reach of Westeros and came here with the Blackfire. Descendants of nobles.

"Look for me." Franklin was a big, staggering man with a big belly and scars crisscrossing his face. His right ear looked like it had been gnawed by a dog, and his left ear was completely gone. He is an old Golden Regiment commander. They were quite good friends when Jon Connington was in the Golden Company. In the Golden Company where Harry is now in power, he and Tristan Rivers, another old commander, are the leaders of the opposition.

If Jon Connington had not "died" back then, it would be hard to say who the leader of the Golden Company is now.

Jon Connington was the Earl of Eagle's Nest, the head of the Connington family, and the Hand of the King to Aerys II. He was one of Rhaegar Targaryen's few close friends. He was exiled because of his failure in the Battle of the Bell. After the war, he went into exile in Essos and joined the Golden Company. He became the right hand of the former leader Mistoin for a time. He pretended to "die drunk" and changed his name to Griffin. Secretly raised and protected Rhaegar's son, "Little Aegon" Aegon Targaryen.

In fact, in the original book, when Jon Connington reappeared in the Golden Company with Aegon Targaryen, Harry was sidelined after only one war meeting.

Therefore, in fact, many times, various organizations are grass-roots teams with loopholes to exploit. The Golden Company, which Viserys deliberately avoided, actually has a lot of room for maneuver, but he does not know this.

"It seems that you lost, Franklin." Harry said with a kind smile on his face, "The Beggar King did not intend to invite any of the commanders of the Golden Company to drink. It seems that after being laughed at at that banquet a few years ago, , he no longer counts on the Golden Group."

"I haven't left yet? If I lose, I'm willing to admit defeat and I will give you my gambling money." Franklin said with a frown, "Damn it, what are you and the fat governor planning? First, let's talk about it Viserys Targaryen would exchange Daenerys for tens of thousands of Dothraki roaring warriors in Pentos. Now the Dothraki troops are here, but they are wandering around the Heartbreak Territory and the Golden Fields, and they are against the secrets. You are watching with eager eyes. Where is the Beggar King? Isn’t he still begging?”

"Is this how you talk to the leader?"

"Have I offended you? Then I apologize to you, Captain."

At this point, Harry lost interest in discussing Viserys with Franklin and went straight to the point: "Let's get down to business, I want to send you and Commander Tristan to lead a team with the envoy of the Governor of Myr. Look at the Dothraki passing by to learn where they are going and what they are going to do, and see how many men the barbarians have.”

The flapping wings of Viserys, a little butterfly, finally made waves in this world. Because there was no such thing as Daenerys marrying Khal Drogo, Drogo's khalasar did not move back to Vaes Dothraki, the capital of the Dothraki. Instead, it seemed to have merged with Tyrosh, Myr, and Lys. During the dispute, I don’t know if he planned to take the opportunity to blackmail Mir.

All I can say is good luck to Mir.

——

Viserys expected three weeks to be long enough, but it actually took longer than he imagined.

The undercurrents of Tyrosh, Lys, and Myr even affected Viserys.

It is not because of the Dothraki that the Governor of Myr and the Golden Company are worried about. In fact, the news that the Dothraki are threatening Myr on land will not spread to the people.

Anyone in power who has any sense will not let this kind of news spread and cause unnecessary panic.

What affected Viserys's schedule was events at sea.

In the second week after arriving in Myr, there were some minor problems with the route between Tyrosh and Myr. Several groups of pirates were rampant in the Myrish waters. Most of the local merchant ships that went out of Myr were robbed, and few ships from the Tyrosh Chamber of Commerce were seen passing through the Myrish waters.

It is said that Myr and Tyrosh have both become famous and each sent a fleet to eliminate these pirates, but under the joint efforts of the fleets of the two major city-states, the pirates seemed to be unable to be eliminated for a while.

This actually had little impact on Viserys. He was busy running around in Myr to borrow money from wealthy merchants and dignitaries as planned.

As for whether he borrowed money or not, this trip allowed Viserys and Daenerys to fully experience the biodiversity of the wealthy merchants and dignitaries in Myr.

Many visiting cards fell into the sea and were simply ignored. Most of the wealthy merchants and dignitaries who were willing to meet Viserys agreed with the Governor of Myr. Public business can be discussed publicly, and if they want to talk privately, it is a private communication.

Conversations in private are usually unbearable to listen to.

Some people simply asked Viserys if he would sell his sister Daenerys, and they were willing to buy her at any price. When faced with this, Viserys would just walk away.

Some people asked Viserys how much he would be willing to reduce tariffs when he returned to be king. This was basically just for fun.

Some people wanted Viserys himself or his knight Jorah to duel with their arena slaves. There were several people who had the same price standard. They were willing to lend 10,000 mire gold coins for a win and 1,000 for a loss. This was almost equivalent to humiliation. Even if he could send Jorah to fight, Viserys would not do such a thing. Now Jorah was a subordinate of the Beggar King, and humiliating Jorah was equivalent to humiliating himself. Although this practice of borrowing money from the door was already very shameful.

There were a few people who wanted to hear what Viserys would say in private. But after listening to Viserys' words in private conversations, they would smile and keep silent, keep silent about the loan, and agree to Viserys's request for confidentiality, and then there would be no news.

The most outrageous thing is that there are many women in charge among the powerful and wealthy, and there are several particularly open-minded widows who privately asked Viserys if he was willing to sleep with them, and if he was willing, they would agree to lend him money in a private capacity.

In the end, Viserys only borrowed 5,000 Myr gold coins. This loan came from a Myrish herbal medicine merchant, a 70-year-old old lady. She also rejected Viserys as a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, and did not listen to Viserys' prepared words, but invited Viserys to dinner at home in a private capacity. After dinner, she agreed to lend him 5,000 gold coins on the spot, and did not expect him to pay it back. At the end, the old lady only said that if her precious grandson was still alive, he would be as old as Viserys and as handsome as him.

The trip to Myr ended dismally in terms of borrowing money.

But on the other hand, shopping with Daenerys was a fulfilling and nourishing experience every day. After seeing the private appearance of Myr merchants, Viserys rarely brought Dany to visit, and those who did bring her along also asked about the other party's character in advance. He really didn't expect those widows who asked Viserys to sleep with them privately, and Daenerys laughed at him.

By the end of the third week, the dragon souls in most of the goods in the stores in Myr had been almost swept away by the brother and sister.

It was Captain Grolai who stayed in Myr for another week because he was afraid of pirates at sea. They originally planned to set off for Tyrosh at the end of the third week, because it seemed that the probability of non-Myr merchant ships being robbed was much lower than that of Myr merchant ships, and Illyrio was quite famous at sea, so it was not difficult to cross the Myr sea.

Viserys knew what Captain Grole was doing secretly, and Grole took the opportunity to replace all the Pentos goods that were originally planned to be sold in the next few cities with Myr goods. Such a rare business opportunity made Grole ignore Illyrio's order to sail according to Viserys's request.

Jorah, who was ordered by Viserys to go to Chamier and the cooperation between the Iron Throne, also gained some results. Jorah took a horse from the ship and rode to the taverns in various ports every day when he had time. These days, he ran through different taverns in Myr Port and specifically asked sailors from Westeros.

What Jorah found out was not a big secret, but that the Iron Throne sent a lot of financial affairs officers from King's Landing to various free trade cities, not only Myr, but also other places. It is said that the finance ministers of the seven kingdoms have discussed a lot of business cooperation with the banks and governors of major city-states.

Business cooperation.

Yes, this is the word circulated among the people.

Full of imagination.

After hearing this, Viserys couldn't help but sigh: The business of the Minister of Finance of the Seven Kingdoms is really big. How much money will it make for the Iron Throne, and how abundant will the king's treasury be? Oh, it's really enviable.

Finally, the day of leaving Myr has come.

Viserys and his party checked out of the hotel room, tidied themselves up a little, and then left the inner city and headed for the port.

Leaving Myr was considered a "humiliating" departure. When Viserys and Dany left the city, their faces were not very good, gloomy and bitter.

But this time when leaving the inner city gate, no one except Jorah went to see the flag of the Golden Company.

Many people think that the finale will not turn into a dragon, but in fact it will turn into a dragon at the end of the first volume. The plot is not difficult to guess. Once the red comet comes, the protagonist can no longer develop secretly.

I shamelessly ask for investment, but the investment has not reached 100 so far.
