Chapter 205, Hiding the Black Hand Behind the Scenes (Ask for Subscription~!!)
Not a guest or ally, Arthur and Daenerys are true enemies as the son of Robert, the usurper who overthrew the previous dynasty.
Having experienced the rebellion of Meereen's Harpy Son, the Mother of Dragons knows very well that she cannot be merciful when dealing with her enemies.
But she sees herself as the rightful queen of the Westeros Empire, and she doesn't want to see strangers and ghouls wreaking havoc on this continent!
After taking care of the military affairs of the Unsullied Legion to Castle Rock, and when it was time for lunch to set up a feast for the allies who were leaving Dragonstone, Daenerys was busy and remembered that there was another prince in the castle.
"Is he still at peace in the castle?"
Tyrion: "Aside from beating up the three Sand Snake sisters who were looking for trouble, he still likes to read as much as he used to. ”
"Oh?" Daenerys looked at them when she heard that Arthur had beaten Obaya, Nemelia, and Treny, "What's going on?"
Obaya said truthfully: "I want to learn martial arts from him." ”
Actually fighting with the famous Westeros and Essos, the almost invincible Child of Light, Olenna thought it was very funny: "I didn't see any injuries on your body, how did you learn martial arts?"
Nemelia smiled reluctantly, "We're just joking. ”
"Did you go to bed?" The Queen of Thorns of the High Court is cunning and shrewd, but also childlike and stubborn.
Hearing this, Obaya looked away with a blank face, Nymelia shook her head with a wry smile, and Tremier said honestly, "I would have liked, but he kicked us all out." ”
Olenna's eyes suddenly sharpened: "So, you guys are interesting to him?"
Ellaria's face was a little unsightly.
Dorag and Holy Loren must not die, as Daenerys allies, but her daughter wants to sleep with the rival prince and talk about it in front of the Mother of Dragons.
Realizing that her sister had said the wrong thing, Nemelia immediately explained, "We just wanted to play with him. ”
The daughter of the sea monster shook her head when she heard this: "There is no need to explain, if it weren't for Arthur's young age, immature personality, so handsome, and extraordinary strength, I would have been obsessed with him." ”
Tyrion nodded as well: "I've seen his mother in King's Landing before, it's Robert's lover, she's very beautiful, and it's not surprising that Arthur is handsome, but you make me a little jealous of him when you say that." ”
The ladies shook their heads and chuckled, and did not continue the subject.
Ellaria pondered for a moment and said, "We will not marry Divine Lorain. ”
Daenerys nodded, thought about it and asked, "Do we think we should give it to him about Long Jing?"
Tyrion: "If we don't want to fight the Stranger after dealing with Cersei, Dragon Crystal can't afford to give it." ”
Olena frowned: "How much, how, what good can we do?"
When Daenerys heard this, she immediately understood that Long Jing could give, but she had to get stuck in the necessary degree, not too much, and the delivery method had to be decided by herself, and she had to get benefits from it!
"Go and call him over and talk. ”
The sun is shining outside the castle, and through the windows, the corridors of the stone drum tower are illuminated with light and shadow.
Arriving at the restaurant, Arthur was not polite, nodded politely to everyone, and sat down to eat.
"Your Highness, should you pay attention to etiquette?" Seeing the young man's slightly rough appearance, Olena seemed to see the second Robert.
Arthur stopped with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I'm so hungry, if there is any rudeness, please do a lot of Haihan." ”
Daenerys had also seen it with Dothraki people, and Daenerys didn't care about it, and wanted to discuss how to deal with Dragon Crystal as soon as possible while the allies had not left Dragonstone.
"How many dragon crystal weapons does the Great Wall have against the strange ghosts now?"
Managing logistics, Arthur was very clear, but he understood why the Dragon Queen asked like this, shook his head and said, "It's still a lot worse." ”
Tyrion: "Can you tell me the exact number?"
"There are probably thousands of dragon crystal daggers, thousands of dragon crystal spears, and thousands of dragon crystal arrows. ”
"So little?" everyone frowned.
In fact, the people of the United North and the Arin Valley have been mining frantically, and they have obtained fifty or sixty ships of Dragon Crystal Ore, which have been processed and made by craftsmen in the North, and now the Great Wall is equipped with a Dragon Crystal Dagger and Dragon Crystal Spear, and also reserves 100,000 Dragon Crystal Arrows.
"There is no way, we only have a few hundred people mining here, and the ore needs to be processed when it is transported back to the north. ”
"Dragon Crystal can make weapons against strange ghosts, such an important ore, you only send a few hundred people to mine?" Hearing Arthur's words, Olena scoffed and didn't believe it.
Arthur sighed, "There are so many castles on the Wall of Desperation that have been abandoned by the Night's Watch, and we really can't have too many men. ”
Daenerys didn't want to waste any more time and got straight to the point, "What price are you willing to pay for weapons against the Strangers?"
"As you know, the Riverlands are recuperating from the war, and there is no material or money to support the Great Wall.
The northern realm also suffered a lot of losses in the Battle of the Five Kings, and at most it could only manage itself, and it was also unable to provide anything for the Great Wall.
All the logistical tasks such as settling tens of thousands of wild people outside the fortress, repairing the castle of the Great Wall, and providing weapons and supplies fell to the valley, and they spent a lot of money.
And we... It's hard to say, but everyone knows that the royal family owes a lot of money to the Iron Vault and the Lannisters, and if there is no territory, there will be no supplies......"
Olenna snorted coldly: "We are not your allies, don't pretend to be pitiful here!"
Crying poor and failing, without winning sympathy, Arthur felt very troubled, and everyone present was not easy to fool, so he could only sigh and turn to threat: "We can't defend the Great Wall, and you will also suffer if the strange ghosts go south." ”
"Your threats are useless!" Daenerys disagreed, "we have enough warships to be able to return to Meereen at any time." ”
It's over...
What if you can't fight them?
I should have brought Hainly Kay to negotiate!
Arthur could only continue to pretend to be pitiful, and said with a sad face: "You know that we are not in a good situation......
Daenerys ignored the young man's bitter expression and had a playful smile on her face: "But there are always golden dragons and grain in stock, right?"
"Winter is coming, and there is no food, how can we fight the strangers?"
"Then use the Golden Dragon!"
This meant that they were going to break their muscles and bones, and Arthur gasped: "The golden dragon... This one... I can't be the master... I'm going to go back and discuss. ”
"Then let's first set a golden dragon ten-jin dragon gold mine. ”
Slaughtered so hard!
Arthur: "I don't think there's any need to talk about it anymore, you're insincere." ”
Daenerys sneered and asked, "Is it not worth the price of a weapon that can kill the stranger?"
"Don't forget that what is produced here is dragon crystal ore, not dragon crystal weapons, and we need to process them before they can be used when they are transported to the north, if you directly make them into weapons and transport them to the East China Sea by ship, I can grit my teeth and buy ten dragon crystal daggers for a golden dragon." ”
Are you kidding?
Daenerys is going to attack King's Landing and return to the Iron Throne, where will she have time to be an arms dealer?
"No way, we only allow you to mine. ”
"Yes, the people who mine are ours, why spend money?" Arthur was also confused, and actually forgot such an important thing.
The Dragon Queen was domineering: "But this is my Dragonstone Island now!"
With the Unsullied Legion, the Dothraki Cavalry, the Iron Isles Fleet, and the three dragons, she's the one to rob!
Know that there is no point in arguing.
Moreover, two months ago, the Dragon Crystal dagger was handed by everyone on the Great Wall, and there was no shortage of Dragon Crystal spears, but more Dragon Crystal Arrows were needed to be prepared and distributed to the princes of the north just in case.
They can't afford to spend too much money.
Arthur: "One golden dragon and one thousand catties of dragon crystal ore." ”
Tyrion: "Impossible. ”
"One golden dragon is five hundred catties, and we will transport it by boat, one at a time, which can be carried under your supervision. "No, I can't. "One golden dragon and one hundred catties, this price is the limit of what we can afford!"
...... To be continued......
