"We're going to prove our worth, Dr. Clarence Carey. Bran Stark said lightly.

In Braavos, learned people are called doctors, the equivalent of bachelors from the continent of Westeros.

Clarence looked at Bran with some surprise, "You got my name?"

Bran didn't answer, just looked at Clarence quietly.

In fact, Bran knew all the names of the key people in the Iron Vault, and the Three-Eyed Raven visited the Iron Vault more than once and listened to the meetings of the Iron Vault managers outside the window, but the people in the Iron Vault never noticed a mysterious crow crouching outside the window of their large conference hall.

The little devil picked up the letter of recommendation from Aquaman on the counter, he didn't know how Bran got Aquaman's recommendation, this letter was extremely important for the people of Braavos, just by the name of Aquaman, but the people of the Iron Vault only looked at the financial reward. In Braavos, the Iron Vault is completely independent, and Aquaman has no coercive power over the Iron Vault.

"Dr. Clarence, take a look at Aquaman's letter of recommendation, and we'll go!"

"You did it, Lord?" said Clarence dismissively. But he didn't have any contempt at all, and the highest contempt was often done in politeness.

The little devil was frustrated. Here, Bran Stark is the head.

"Doctor, when you've finished reading the letter, we'll go. Bran Stark said lightly, "But we'll be back again." ”

Clarence's eyes fell on the scroll handed by the little devil, he looked at it for a while, and then reached out to take it, crushing the wax seal: "A word of advice, don't hold out any hope, the Iron Vault will never support the loser." ”

"We understand. The little devil said.

The Doctor unfolds the parchment scroll, which contains two sentences, and at the bottom is the seal of the Sea King.

Everyone stared at Clarence tightly, whether things turned around or not, it was all on Aquaman's letter, as for what Aquaman wrote, no one knew except Bran. No one knows how Bran got Aquaman's letter of recommendation. Before coming here, no one knew that Bran was carrying such a letter with him, except for Bran himself.

It took Clarence a long time to read the letter, and it only took two heartbeats to read just two sentences, but it was obviously too long for him to read it. The little devil was sure that the Doctor had watched it at least three more times.

Dr. Clarence slowly raised his head and looked at Bran, "Are you a prophet?"

Bran didn't answer, just looked at Clarence quietly.

"Well, I need to see your value first, and then I'll give you a reason to meet the manager and explain your loan. ”

Except for Bran Stark, no one understood what Dr. Clarence had to go through to see their value first. But the latter sentence is encouraging, as long as they meet the requirements of the doctorate, they can meet the manager to explain the reason for the loan.

The so-called reason is to convince the manager that he can bring a good interest to the iron vault, and the principal of the iron vault will not be lost. There are only two ways to get a loan from the Iron Treasury without any property collateral, the first is to provide a substantial guarantor, and if not, you have to rely on your own first-class logical ability: a convincing perfect plan for repaying the principal and interest of the loan.

Yes, the perfect plan, the perfect repayment plan with no flaws at all.

Dr. Clarence was relieved when he promised to give them a meeting with the manager. Rams Burton smiled sweetly. He knew that today would not come in vain, and he was superstitious about Bran Stark. He also appreciated Bran's betrayal of the Stark family, and Bran's betrayal and recklessness made Rams feel that Bran was a prophet worthy of his follow. At one point, Bran almost died at the hands of Rams Burton. But after he became the Green Prophet, the Three-Eyed Raven continued to break into Rams Burton's dreams, and finally convinced the elite of the scumbags.

Bran tapped his fingers on the wheelchair, and Luce Burton steered the wheelchair and walked out of the hall.

The little devil climbed down from the high counter in a graceful and ugly gesture, causing Rams Burton and the two Shad to laugh again.

"Hey, Bran, we're just leaving?" said Jaime.

"Jaime, we had to prove our worth first. ”

"How do you prove it?"

"Let's go to see Aquaman. ”

"Where's Aquaman?"

"Aquaman is on Neptune Island. ”

*

Aquaman lives on Neptune Island. To land on Neptune Island, you need to start from the island of Kinko Island, travel through complex wide and narrow channels, and finally dock at Neptune Port to land.

The city of Braavos is in fact made up of hundreds of islands scattered throughout hidden bays. The southeastern continent near Braavos is full of swamps, making it impossible for enemies to attack the city-state of Braavos from land.

The marshes of the land protected the southeastern part of the city-state of Braavos, and any legions that wanted to attack Braavos could only attack from the sea.

To attack Braavos from the sea, there was only one surface passage available, and that was the western passage. Everywhere else, it was surrounded by a mountain-like walled island, as if the god of the sea had built Braavos a steep and natural wall that could not be climbed. And this kind of natural city wall is much taller, wider and steeper than the real city wall.

The mountain-like ringing island leaves only a natural gorge large enough for ocean-going merchant ships, and this gorge is protected by a huge artificial stone statue as tall as the mountain, known as the Titan of Braavos, and recognized as one of the Nine Wonders of the World, along with the desperate Great Wall of Westeros.

The Titans are not only a landmark and a lighthouse, but in the event of a battle and an enemy attacks from the sea, this giant statue will immediately turn into a perfect defensive fortress. Immediately behind the Titans, in addition to the harbor, are a series of battle fortresses and a huge dockyard known as the Arsenal.

Between the hundreds of islands of the city-state of Braavos, which were so perfectly protected on land and sea, there were two communications that connected them all: the first was the passage between the islands, and the second was the long or short arch bridge between the islands, which were gray, golden, or red.

The people living in the city-state of Braavos could travel from one island to another by boat or on foot, and arched bridges connected each island to form a floating city full of stone towers, castles and arched bridges.

*

Bran and his entourage chose to travel by boat. In Braavos, the fastest way to travel by boat is the waterway between the islands, and the arch bridge is often a detour, which is the preferred way for those who are not in a hurry to get around. In the boat, the happiest people are Tomman and Messella, the two children are fascinated by the countless arched bridges, each arched bridge, different colors, different shapes, when the boat passes under the arch bridge, Tomman and Messila will exclaim, and hope to touch the bottom of the bridge above their heads with the palm of their hands.

In Braavos, you can hire boats of all sizes and shapes as long as you have the money. Many people on the island make a living by renting out pleasure boats. The captain and oarsmen on the boat are the best guides in Braavos, and they will be able to get you to your destination as quickly or as slowly as you can ask for it. And along the way, we will introduce you to the stories and legends of each attraction.

Bran and his party crossed an unknown number of beautiful colored arched bridges, as if it only took a few heartbeats for the group to reach their destination. With the exception of Bran, everyone was delighted by the city's beauty, and the two Shad declared that they were completely captivated by the city, and that they would marry in Braavos after the war was over, and settle in the island city until they died of old age.

There is only one warship in the port of Neptune, and the rest are all longships and fishing boats without sails, and there are many pleasure boats. There are many guests who come to Neptune Island every day, the most powerful people on the sea live here, and the island has built the Neptune's palace and many temples, except for the island of the gods, the number of temples on Neptune Island is the largest. Almost every person of all faiths can find their own god to bow down to and offer candles on this island.

Bran was carried ashore in a wheelchair by Luce Burton and his wheelchair carrier, and there was a great crowd of people on the shore, with heavily armed soldiers standing on both sides of the road, but there were not many of them. It was the first time for everyone to come to Neptune Island, and Bran's three-eyed raven had been here, but it was still the first time for him.

At Bran's signal, everyone crossed the docks and entered a fishy market, the innermost part of which was filled with the sound of gongs and drums and singing, and clowns performing burlesques, and from time to time there were warm applause and whistles, and of course very obscene cursing.

When you enter the official street, there are even more people, full of women's courtyards, mercenaries, taverns, small shops, spice shops, cloth and bakeries, and many gold and silver jewelry shops, and there are many people of all kinds on the streets, and you can know that they come from different nationalities by looking at the clothes and faces, and there are loud cheers or cheers from many taverns, as if they were not taverns, but exciting underground casinos.

It's a bustling and lively place, full of beautiful women and teenagers and mercenaries from the bad streets, as long as you have the money, you can hire an army to serve you at any time, or go to the women's courtyard filled with the smell of fat powder to entertain to death.

The little devil counted all the way, and he found that there were twenty-three women's courtyards with different facades on this bustling street, and at the entrance of the women's courtyard, there were a total of sixty-nine beauties who solicited customers, and these people did not include the various roues who received benefactors privately. Here, there are women of every color and appearance, and all kinds of styles bloom here, which is a place that little devils like.

If nothing else worries, the little devil is willing to settle here until he dies of old age.

In the reluctance of the little devil, the group finally walked into the territory of the Sea King's Palace.

The noise and earthly bustle seemed to have gone to another world, it was quiet, the streets were neatly dressed and brightly dressed, and every once in a while, there was a soldier with a blank face. The huge palace was right in front of everyone's eyes, it was a magnificent stone castle, but it was too small compared to the empty stone castle of the Iron Vault.

A young man wearing a bronze helmet with two spikes on it stepped forward to stop Bran's wheelchair with a spear and a shield on his back: "My lord, there is the Sea King's Palace in front, please stop." ”

The bronze helmet and armor represent that the guy is an Unsullied, and the two spikes on the helmet represent that he is a captain. If there's just one spike, it's the Unsullied Soldier. "I want to see Aquaman. Bran said quietly.

"Your Excellency, is it an emissary from somewhere else?" the captain's gaze swept over the group. These men were armed with weapons, and there were soldiers in their entourage. Of course, in Braavos, there were also quite a few merchants who had soldiers in their entourage. Merchants from all over the world came here to do business, and the city-state of Braavos had people of all nationalities settled here. The Dothraki, the Valantis, the Midsummer Islanders, the Westeros, the Quelsi, the Far Easterners, and the mysterious Axia are all there.

"Captain, tell Dr. Ivan and ask him to inform Aquaman, and say that the Three-Eyed Raven has come to visit Aquaman and has a very important military announcement. ”

The expression on the captain's face immediately became respectful, Dr. Ivan, equivalent to the great master in the palace of the Westeros continent, this wheelchair boy knows Dr. Ivan.

"Please come with me, sir. The captain said.

With the captain's leadership, everyone came to the gate of the palace smoothly, which was a huge oak door covered with silver nails that needed to be looked up, and the huge door painted in silver looked solemn and luxurious, and the momentum was extraordinary. The Unsullied soldiers are on both sides. A small door opened in the gate, and the captain motioned for everyone to stop, and he entered the small door to tell Dr. Ivan.

After a while, the door slowly opened, and an old man in a white cloth robe with a white beard stood behind it, dressed like a bachelor in Westeros. The little devil noticed that the guy was wearing a necklace around his neck, and the necklace was wearing a piece of metal. This is exactly the bachelor necklace that the little devil is familiar with, and each piece of metal represents a kind of learning.

Apparently, Aquaman's belief that Dr. Ivan was actually a bachelor from Westeros' Old Town. There were a lot of pieces of metal on that bachelor's necklace, which meant that this guy was a great bachelor in the Starry Sanctuary in Old Town.

The Oldtown Scholars are actually all over the continent of Essos, but they do not have the same absolute dominance as in Westeros - in Westeros, every nobleman needs the Oldtown School to assign a Bachelor to serve, even in the royal palace, the appointment and dismissal power of the Bachelor is in the hands of the Oldtown Academy. And the king's great teacher must be assigned by the school, but during the civil war, this rule was broken by Queen Cersei. She promoted the bachelor's degree who was expelled from the school.

"Bran Stark?" Dr. Ivan met Bran for the first time.

The Oldtown School Masters were divided into two factions, those who studied science and those who were obsessed with the negligent occultism. It is an open secret that the Bachelor of Science despises the Bachelor of the Occult. But the Bachelor of Science and the Bachelor of the Occult are not so easy to distinguish on the surface, and many Bachelor of Science who despise the Bachelor of the Occult are secretly studying the Occult.

Dr. Ivan is such a hypocrite who despises the occult but secretly studies the occult, after he is fascinated by the occult, he can no longer live in the old town as a bachelor of science, so he gets the approval of the school city, comes to the continent of Essos to promote science, and then does not go back, so that he can better study the occult.

The maester who studied the occult in the school city is a creature that has always been at the bottom of the chain of contempt.

The Green Prophet's mastery of the occult is a master compared to Dr. Ivan's research experiments through books.
