Chapter 150 The pastry tastes really good

Governor Audro was very lucky that he had not been working on women for a long time last night. As a pampered Governor of Pantos, he had already tasted the beautiful women on both sides of the strait. Now, in order to live longer, He chose to restrain his desires.

Because he was not sleeping deeply, he could hear the housekeeper slamming the wooden door of his bedroom hard at the risk of offending his taboo. The noise woke up the governor from his dream.

The angry Governor was like a raging bull, and he was about to go out and kill this despicable person for disturbing his sleep. Unexpectedly, the first words of the butler when he saw him made him give up all his thoughts.

"My lord... Dragon! Dragon! A living dragon has landed in Governor Illyrio's house!"

The panting butler obviously knew the seriousness of this matter. If he waited for his master to wake up before reporting it, he knew his master's temper, and he would inevitably die. Therefore, he might as well take a gamble and directly break the rules. Wake up the owner.

Sure enough, his bet was right. After being stunned for a while, Governor Audro grabbed the butler's collar, his eyes were as wide as bells, and he shouted loudly:

"Did you read that correctly? Are you sure it's a dragon, not some big bird?"

The housekeeper pointed at the soldiers who were following him to watch the night, and hissed:

"My lord...they...they can all testify, and everyone in the city has seen it."

Audro looked at the people behind him. When he saw everyone nodded, he loosened his grip and the thin butler fell to the ground and gasped. Audro almost squeezed him to death.

After hesitating for less than two seconds, Audro issued his governor's order:

"Go, call the guards, let's go to Illyrio's house immediately. Not to mention where this dragon comes from, even if it crawls out of the grave, we can't let him eat alone with that dead fat man."

Soon, the cheering guards were assembled, and under the leadership of Odro, they rushed directly to the gate of Governor Illyrio's luxurious courtyard.

Coincidentally, he met another Governor of Pentos at the door. Obviously, both of them were quick to react and had the same purpose. Illyrio must not be allowed to meet the dragon alone.

Although they didn't even know that Clay existed or had any connection with Illyrio, this did not prevent them from immediately leading troops to the door. There must be a balance between the various governors of Pentos. Anyone who dares to cross will attract the cruelty of others. blow.

Governor Illyrio's guards were startled by the sudden appearance of these soldiers. They were all members of the Governor's guards. Although they were not the same master, they were all in the same system and could be considered old acquaintances.

At that moment, someone opened his mouth and asked:

"Mr. Governor Odro, what are you doing here?"

Of course they knew that the dragon had landed in the courtyard of their governor, but they could delay it for a while. These guards, who were well fed by the governors, still had a certain degree of loyalty to their master.

"Get out of the way, otherwise you will die here today."

Governor Odro was disheveled, but showed no mercy at all. He held a huge long knife and struck it directly in the face of the Illyrio guard soldier.

While the soldier was still hesitating, Governor Audro, who couldn't wait for a moment, slashed with his sword, causing blood to splash everywhere.

Seeing that he had taken action, the rest of the people naturally followed suit. As a result, all the guards outside the carved gate fell in a pool of blood within a minute. The gate opened, and Governor Audro and another governor rushed in. In the courtyard of Governor Illyrio.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, the two saw the huge blue-gold dragon nesting in the center, with a pair of clear reddish dragon eyes staring at them, with a dangerous light inside.

Galesos was waiting for Clay's order. If it were the only one here and greeted him with just a breath of dragon flame, how could it still be so hesitant and cautious here?

Seeing that the intruder's eyes were attracted to Galesos, Clay glanced at Governor Illyrio, who looked very unhappy, and said directly without waiting for him to speak:

"Friends who are here, you might as well come here to talk. I think Governor Illyrio is a hospitable host, right, my Lord Governor?"

Hearing this, Illyrio cursed vaguely in his heart, but withdrew an extremely ugly smile on his face, nodded, and said:

"Yes, my lord, my mansion welcomes all guests."

…

Five minutes later, Audro and another governor sat on three sofas, staring at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was clear:

Get out now, the Dragon Knight is mine!

Clay leaned on the sofa, tasting a special fruit of Pantos, and watched the performances of the three governors in front of him. The arrival of these two completely ruined Illyrio's deception plan.

Who doesn't know who Illyrio is? Illyrio supports Aegon Targaryen's ascension to the throne. Although they don't know that young Aegon is Illyrio's son, the support itself cannot be hidden from these well-informed governors. .

An awkward atmosphere filled every inch of the air in the courtyard. If any of them had had a private conversation with Clay here, they would have had a lively conversation and achieved some actual progress.

But now, Clay was watching the three of them alone, and there was a blue-gold dragon staring at them like a barbecue steak. None of these three powerful governors of Pentos dared to speak first. .

Clay is not in a hurry. This place is not his home anyway. When he gets bored, he can just ask Galesos to open his mouth a little, and he can force these three people to reveal the current whereabouts of Daenerys.

As for what else he wants from these three people? Oh, of course there is enough gold and troops. Unfortunately, these three are not yet on the same front with him.

This is not quite accurate. Illyrio must be replaced. This person who supports the fake Aegon Targaryen to compete with Clay for women and the throne is simply intolerable to his uncle, and even more unbearable to his aunt.

Clay is keeping him now, just because he doesn't want to overly stimulate Pantos. After all, he has just arrived in Essos as a descendant of the Dragon King family. It would be great to directly bring blood and fire, but he wants to have What you do is difficult.

"Why, do you three have any concerns? Don't worry, Galesos has eaten enough today and has no interest in you. Dragons are generally interested in people only when they are extremely hungry."

Clay's words were extremely calm, but it sent chills down the backs of the three governors present. This man spoke so firmly about the dragon recipe. Have they tried it before? Reminiscent of what he just said about having eaten enough today, the three of them glanced at Galesos without leaving any trace.

It’s better not to anger this ignorant dragon knight. What if the dragon moves around a lot and gets hungry again? Too dangerous! Our lives are too precious to be eaten by dragons.

"I think the three of you might not be able to talk if you stay together. Then you can come over and talk to me one at a time. Is that okay?"

Clay's tone was very flirtatious and seemed to be discussing, but as Galesos let out an angry roar with understanding, the three governors immediately agreed to Clay's order.

The first person to stay was naturally the owner of this place, Governor Illyrio, who had just had time to say hello to Clay.

The governor, who was wearing a bright yellow broad robe, was holding his dirty golden beard with one of his fat hands. There were beads of sweat all over his forehead, and he looked very nervous.

Clay looked at the old boy who was already on his list and sneered in his heart, but on the surface he still had the same arrogant expression that deserved a beating. He asked contemptuously:

"Governor Illyrio, how many fleets can you Pantos pull out? Please think carefully about your answer to me. If it is lower than the number in my mind, I will represent my family and ask Pentos to replace him. A more capable Governor.”

The words were serious nonsense, but they frightened Illyrio. It wasn't that he didn't have a city and his level was too low, but that there was a big guy next to him, staring at him eagerly. Who could replace him? Everyone has to panic.

"Sir Nori, we, Pantos, and I don't know about the other guys. Anyway, I can provide you with fifty elite ocean-going battleships."

Good guy, he is indeed a rich man from a trading city, a middle-ranking governor, and he casually mentioned fifty warships. It seems that the strength of his own fleet really needs to be strengthened.

Clay nodded calmly. He looked at Illyrio's complicated eyes, with the cynical expression still on his face. He opened his arms and said with a smile:

"The Governor is indeed a good friend of my Beleris family. So, as a friend, I can answer your two questions as a reward for offering your fleet."

Don't think this is nonsense, because Clay is pretending to be a powerful one. He made up a non-existent Dragon King family for the governors, making them feel that Clay is an advance team. If they dare to refuse Clay's request, the next moment Just more dragons coming to burn down the house.

The dragon kings of the ancient Valyrian Empire had done this before, as had the Targaryen family that ruled the Seven Kingdoms. They all had criminal records. No wonder the governors of Pentos were so obedient.

"My lord, you are saying that you are from the Bellerys family? Can you introduce it to me?"

Clay smiled. He had already guessed that Illyrio would ask this question, but it was not simple. He only had one mouth and the story was all made up. It's so hard for our ancestors that we led our people to escape from the catastrophe of Valyria's end. It's so hard for our ancestors that we went through so much hardship to take refuge on the continent south of the Sea of ​​Smoke.

The Belerys family took in the remnants of the Valyrian Empire there and intermarried with the local residents. After such a long time, they finally restored part of the strength of the empire. He, Nori Belerys, was the pioneer of the family. , returned to the continent of Essos again, wanting to understand the current situation of this lost land of the empire.

Perfect and reasonable! If you don't believe it, it doesn't matter. Anyone is welcome to go to the southern part of Yanhai to investigate. If you can find it, you've seen a ghost.

"Second question, I would like to ask your lord, is the noble Belerys family interested in the continent of Westeros on the other side of the Narrow Sea?"

After hesitating for a long time, Governor Illyrio finally asked about this matter. The problem with Westeros is that even if he doesn't tell himself, Lord Nori Beleris will still learn about it from other people's mouths.

Rather than that, it is better to put it forward in advance, and maybe you can take over the hands of this lord and the Belerys family, and help young Aegon ascend to the throne of the Seven Kingdoms. The worst case... the worst case is that the Iron Throne will surrender to the newly born Belerys family. Pay tribute, if they really are a powerful family with many dragons.

Clay glanced at Illyrio calmly. He didn't expect this guy to be so bold. He actually dared to take the initiative to bring up the Westeros continent, which was not part of the ancient Valyrian Empire at all. Of course, Except Dragonstone.

In the original script, the entire Westeros was regarded as a piece of cake by young Aegon and his son. Now, it is really strange that they would offer to share it with the Belerys family.

But when Clay thought about it, he understood Illyrio's plan to retreat in order to advance.

I was the first to propose Westeros. You, the Belerys family, don’t know about it, right? Even if you are willing, someone needs to lead the way. We happen to be familiar with this matter.

At this time, little Aegon, the fake Targaryen, was pushed out and knelt in front of the proud Belerys family. At this time, the rival family that once competed for the supreme leadership of the Valyrian Empire surrendered and only asked to be a remote continent of the empire. of a vassal king.

Why did House Belerys, who aimed to restore the territory of the ancient Valyrian Empire, reject this gift? Unless their strength would have conquered the world long ago.

However, with this strength, why do they still come to Pantos to find Illyrio and other local natives to help?

It can be said that Governor Illyrio has a good grasp of people's hearts, but unfortunately, what he met was Clay Mandler, a bastard who was full of lies and nothing he said was true except for his face. All efforts are in vain.

Clay pretended to be thoughtful, then waved his hand after a moment and laughed:

"I know that place in Westeros. Our once lucky old friend Targaryen has ruled there for a long time. Now it seems that it is no longer possible. The dragon is gone and the throne has been occupied by his subjects. They themselves cannot There’s no point in trying to get that place if we want it.”

Hearing these words, Illyrio observed Clay's face that didn't seem to be fake, and the excitement in his heart could not be suppressed. Great, the reaction of the proud Belerys was completely within his expectations.

"Okay, Governor Illyrio, my conversation with you is over. Let's let another governor come."

The same commanding tone came out again, and Illyrio was helpless. He was thinking of saying something else, but when he noticed Clay's extremely cold eyes, he stopped instantly.

…

Afterwards, the conversation between Clay and Odro and another governor was not so harmonious. Both governors claimed that Illyrio was the biggest liar in all of Pentos. Your Excellency, you are not safe in this place at all. Come to my home, my home is the safest.

Clay didn't know whether these opinions were valid, but he did learn from Governor Odro that Daenerys Targaryen had appeared in Slaver's Bay less than half a month ago.

Obviously, these governors have been sending people to pay attention to Daenerys' situation. Otherwise, there would be no such timely news.

This governor, who obviously had a grudge against Illyrio, told Clay everything about Illyrio's plan to revive the Targaryen dynasty. Of course, it was pieced together from the information he had, and it was still far from the truth. .

But it didn't matter, because Clay later confirmed Daenerys's specific location from another governor. It was indeed near Slaver's Bay. That would be much easier. Let's start (cross out), Let’s set off! Let’s go!

Alas, I haven’t saved the manuscript again, mmd.
