Game of Thrones: Viserys the Three-Headed Dragon

"Jorah, I have something I need you to do."

Jorah had already expected that after what he said to Daenerys, Viserys would not be able to keep him around. He shouldn't be like that. After finally waiting for the God-given opportunity, Viserys had just transferred Arnie and Butch away from him. He could obviously find out more information, uncover the conspiracy behind Viserys's trip, and maybe get King Robert's pardon.

Damn it, why did you drink wine this morning?

Jorah couldn't help but sigh that Viserys was also so resolute and determined to deal with him so quickly.

Jorah remained respectful: "Sir, what's the matter?"

"I want you to go back to Tyrosh and get more information about the Seven Kingdoms there. When I come back from Volantis, I need to know the latest information about the Seven Kingdoms. I always feel that Stark will be Prime Minister. Lannister They won't let it go, there will definitely be a conflict between them. When they leave Tyrosh, news of the Prime Minister's Martial Competition comes from the Seven Kingdoms. With this grand event as a cover, the sailors of the Seven Kingdoms will bring a steady stream of information from King's Landing. You can take advantage of this event. At this time, focus on asking about Stark and Lannister." Viserys looked serious and gave Jorah a bag of gold coins. "This is your activity fund. You have to ask around and collect information for me. When the time comes, I will send someone to contact you.”

"." Jorah looked at the purse handed over by Viserys, opened his mouth, and found that he didn't know what to say. Did Viserys really want him to do these things?

Seeing that Jorah didn't reply, Viserys narrowed his eyes and asked, "What, you don't want to?"

Jorah asked, "My lord, when do you want me to set out?"

Viserys said: "Just today, before Lys and Tyrosh start fighting. You have been a mercenary in the Free City State for many years and have rich experience. You shouldn't need me to take you to Captain Grolei for help, right?"

Jorah responded: "Please don't worry, sir. I have my own way."

Viserys gave Jorah a strange look. It was so smooth that the excuses he had prepared were useless. His expression did not change: "Then let's set off immediately."

"Yes, sir."

"."

Until he watched Jorah disembark from the ship with his horse and equipment on the front deck and go away, Viserys didn't know what made Jorah suddenly change his gender without any nonsense.

Driving Jorah away went too smoothly, which made Viserys somewhat suspicious.

But he had no time to think about Jorah. As soon as he sent Jorah away, he immediately returned to the room where only he and Daenerys were left.

Dani was still reading quietly on the desk.

Viserys took out a large box of gold coins from the large box of five thousand gold coins borrowed from Myr on the bedside, held it in his arms, and then went out to find Grolai.

Soon, Viserys found Grolai in the captain's cabin: "Captain, I have something to say. Illyrio once asked you to treat me as you treated him."

Upon hearing this, Grole quickly stood up and responded respectfully: "Have I not always treated you like this, my lord?"

"Okay." Viserys said directly and seriously, "Then I need you to immediately prepare enough supplies to go to Slaver's Bay, and have your ship set off from Lys as soon as possible to take me to Slaver's Bay. Before the merchant ship leaves the port, you only need to You can tell the captains of the other two ships and the people you trust most about your destination, but other than that, don’t reveal anything to anyone before setting sail.”

Grole opened his mouth blankly: "My lord, isn't the destination Volantis?"

Viserys asked him seriously, "Any questions?"

Grole made a grimace: "I have always promised you that it was Volantis, but this sudden change of destination is still the distant Slaver's Bay. Do you know that Volantis to Pentos and Volantis to Slaver's Bay?" The journey by sea is almost as different. You are asking us to sail twice as long, and the ocean is no better than the sea route of the Free Cities. Many of the sailors on board the Summer Sea and the Gulf of Sorrow are going to Volantis for the first time. By land, there are roads built by the Valyrian people that lead directly to Troos and Meereen in Slaver's Bay."

"Illyrio said that you are the most capable captain he has." Viserys had made up his mind and refused to let Grolai refuse. "You said that you have traveled through the Summer Sea and been to the Jade Sea."

"Sir, I can't decide on this ship alone. I may be able to convince everyone on the Sedourion, but the sailors on the Summer Sun and Joke Yosso"

Viserys said: "This section of the road is mine. You calculate how much it costs and I'll pay for it."

"Sir, the material consumption is secondary. The main reason is the loss of the ship and the sailor's money for the ocean voyage. And since you want to sail the ship secretly, you can't buy merchant ship insurance. You may encounter storms, dangers, pirates, and road accidents along the way."

"Give me a number."

"Let's pray that we don't encounter pirates and buy our way, and we can get one or two thousand gold coins no matter what."

"Why is it so" cheap? Viserys wanted to say that this was much cheaper than he thought, "I remember when we were on the Myr Sea, it cost three thousand gold coins to buy a flag hanging on the bow of the ship."

"Sir, you don't think that the price of sea passage is this all day long, do you? In normal times, even if there is a fleet exercise, the pass is only one or two hundred. Three thousand ships per ship, you know, the more tense the situation, the more rampant pirates, the more maritime trade The ship is more likely to disappear. Maybe something happens and no one will see it at sea. If it encounters vicious pirates, gets into the center of a storm, encounters a tsunami, or hits a rock by mistake, the ship will just sink. It's not just bad luck. If you are alive, do you think three thousand gold coins are expensive for a boat? They can let you go into the sea to feed the fish, but it only requires you to shed some blood. Life at sea is not easy, my lord."

I have always heard that the maritime forces of the major trading cities are no different from pirates, but I didn't expect it to be true, and it seems that the price of buying passage will change with the situation. Viserys recalled the well-equipped Myr fleet that was lined up beside him when he passed by. It turned out that they were not guarding against pirates at all, but after forcing the two rowing boats of the merchant fleet to stop, they were ready to launch a formation charge against the merchant ships at any time.

"Here are three thousand Myr gold coins." Viserys handed over the gold coin box in his arms, "It's considered a deposit. Go to Slaver's Bay, and you can refund or pay more along the way."

Grolai took Viserys' box with both hands. It was quite heavy, but he caught it anyway. It seemed that there was a lot of gold coins in the box.

Grolai still looked sad, but he had no choice but to agree: "My lord, these three ships are all sailing for your purpose. Since you have made a request, I will do as you say." At the end, he added in a low voice, "My lord, your maids and guards have left the ship. Do you want to buy two slave fighters or maids to accompany you before leaving Lys?"

Viserys asked him: "Can you manage your crew?"

"I thank you for trusting me, my lord. But..." Grolai winked at him.

"Can't you manage it?"

Growlai bowed and nodded to him, assuring: "I can manage it, my lord."

Viserys asked the next question: "How long will it take to leave Lys? I want it as soon as possible."

Growlai responded to him: "Tomorrow at noon, my lord."

Watching Viserys walk out of the captain's room with satisfaction, Grolai had to shrug helplessly, secretly sighing that Illyrio really found him a "troublesome person".

After leaving Grole, Viserys quickly returned to the room. He sat down on the cushioned seat and carefully considered the hidden dangers and possible impacts of the strange behaviors from this morning to now. Compared with these, it is definitely worth it to exchange Viserys and Daenerys for a short period of time without being disturbed by others.

Their secrets and the threats they face can no longer allow people who cannot guarantee their loyalty to be around.

Grole has no choice. His ship is a must for Viserys on this trip, and he can't get too close to Viserys, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

Slowly sorting out the chaotic thoughts in his head, Viserys poured himself a glass of water, and let out a long breath after drinking it. Only then did he finally get up and go find Daenerys.

Seeing that Dany was still sitting steadily on the table reading a book, Viserys couldn't help but feel a little relieved: Daenerys performed very well today, calm and dignified, and could sit calmly all the time.

He leaned over to Dany's side and tried to make a more relaxed opening: "Dany, where are you in the book?"

Daenerys tried to calmly and solemnly turn her head and look directly into Viserys' eyes: "Dragonrider Aemon." She tried to say it in a calm tone, but failed. "I just read the ballad story of Dragonrider Aemon and Naerys. Brother, have you heard their story?"
