As the group passed down the boulevard outside the Doge's Castle, Tyrion called out to the guards leading the way, asking, "Shouldn't we go to see His Excellency Illyrio at once?" ”

When the guards heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said with a smile: "According to the new system of Pantos, the work of receiving foreign guests is the responsibility of the foreign minister. Dear Lord Lannister, the place I am taking you to now is the post house of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”

After a pause, giving Tyrion and the others some time to react, the guard added, "Besides, Illyrio is no longer the governor of Pantos. Lord Lannister, please remember that the Governor of Pantos is the great 'Pentos White Phoenix, Liberty Lightning, and Metal God of War' Lord Christine Stuart! ”

Tyrion blinked, but was confused.

Illyrio is no longer the Governor of Pantos?

Kristeen Stuart? Why does this name sound familiar?

The disdain for Illyrio and the reverence for Christine in the guard's tone and demeanor were almost immediately apparent. Pantos, what kind of changes have occurred?!

Exchanging glances with Margaery, Tyrion and his party had such doubts all the way to the so-called inn.

After settling in for a while, the staff at the inn told him that the foreign minister would come to meet him soon.

Sending the staff away, Tyrion walked up and down the room, pondering and pondering. It is obvious that the current Pantos is no longer the Pantos that his uncles once visited, but a new Pantos. From the inside out, from top to bottom, there has been a very incredible change in Pantos.

What he saw was the most rigorous and orderly order.

It's a very novel experience.

He didn't think it was like anything before, but now on the other hand, taking the Pantos he sees now, he finds that the Seven Kingdoms are so chaotic and careless.

"Christine Stuart..."

Tyrion always remembered the name, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Is this the person who gave Pantos such a change?

He suddenly summoned his attendants and said, "Change your clothes and go out to investigate." I wonder when the change in Pantos began. Remember, all aspects, gather more information. ”

"Yes, Lord Lannister."

Margaery walked in and said, "Tyrion, you're immoral like this. You can't do this without the permission of the owner of Pantos. ”

"Margaery, I'm the head of the mission." Tyrion snapped, "You just need to treat this trip as a trip, and you don't need to worry about the rest." ”

Margaery shook her head, "I'm just worried... Tyrion, we have a request for men, not for us. ”

"Of course I do." Tyrion's eyes sparkled: "I also have to know what kind of Pantos is in order to convince them with targeted language." ”

He couldn't say the phrase 'know yourself and know your opponent in a hundred battles,' but the general meaning was true.

"Aren't you afraid of annoying them?" Margaery didn't give up.

"If that makes them angry, then I'll be happy." Tyrion said, "-It's not a big deal. A person who is angry over small things is not a person who does big things. ”

“... All right. Margaery said, "If you insist, I have nothing to say." ”

She turned away.

Tyrion admonished, "Their foreign servant will receive us before dark." Margaery, I hope you'll be able to hold back your emotions then. ”

Margaery paused, then turned back and said, "I know." Although it seems to me that they are very rude, as I said, we are asking for something now. ”

"Very good." Tyrion said, "Forget about our noble status for a moment. ”

The foreign minister didn't let them wait too long. Before the men sent by Tyrion to inquire about the news had returned, the foreign minister arrived.

This is a young man, very ordinary, except for some majesty in a high position, and does not have the graceful bearing characteristic of nobility.

The sources of talents recruited by the recruitment order are very diverse. There are down-and-out aristocrats, former merchants, and smart people among the common people.

Those who can live in it, regardless of their origin.

The foreign minister was once a fledgling businessman.

The two sides met, got to know each other very formally, and then got to the point.

As a former businessman, the Foreign Minister knows a lot about the Lannisters and Tyrells. Two of Westeros' top nobles. A batch of famous people.

No matter how ugly Tyrion is, he is also a nobleman, a Lannister. Margaery, though she was only a woman, had to be treated with due respect, because it was Tyrrell.

"First of all, as Foreign Minister of Pantos, on behalf of the Governor, I welcome the arrival of Mr. Lannister and Miss Tyrelle."

The foreign minister said: "The great governor of Stuart in Pantos is not in Pantos now, so I will be fully responsible for foreign affairs." So, may I know the purpose of Mr. Lannister and Ms. Tyrelll's visit? ”

Hardly expected to be so direct, Tyrion was caught off guard.

According to the rules among the nobles, no matter what happens, at least a grand welcome banquet must be held first, and then it will be discussed in secret.

In this way, confronting a department of the so-called Foreign Affairs Yuan is completely inconsistent with the rules between the nobility and the nobility.

Margaery could barely suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart, so she didn't scold her, but was secretly stopped by Tyrion. It occurred to Tyrion that this might be the new rule of the new Pantos.

Although I don't have the concept of following the local customs, I also know the truth of people under the roof. And it's asking for people.

Then he said: "Your Excellency, I, Tyrion Lannister, on behalf of the Seven Kingdoms and on behalf of King Robert Barassion, the owner of the Iron Throne, have issued an official note to Pantos, the free trade city-state. I need to see Governor Stuart for the specific purpose before I can explain it to His Excellency the Governor. ”

The Foreign Affairs Minister nodded slightly: "If Mr. Lannister insists, there is no problem with the Foreign Affairs Yuan." The timing of Governor Stuart's return is uncertain, so Mr. Lannister needs to be patient. ”

The first formal exchange ended hastily. Visitors from the Seven Kingdoms had to wait, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs handed the news to the Prime Minister.

The Parliamentary Chancellor is the head of the Pentos, and is the supreme governor of the Pantos when Christine is away with his troops.

Hearing the news, the Prime Minister thought about it and had a slight understanding in his heart. Information about the situation of the Seven Kingdoms and the offensive of the Strangers was a major focus of Pantos's collection. As Prime Minister, he knows a thing about it.

In this way, the purpose of the visit of the envoys of the seven countries is clearly visible.

But he can't do such a thing. And in the case of Krestin's departure from Pantos, there is only one person who can call the shots.
