Chapter 56: Progress on Two Continents
In the Doge's Palace in Pantos, two people sitting in the parlour are discussing the latest news on the continent.
Governor Illyrio said, "Sir Jorah, do you remember the Dothraki mengo you saw with me a year ago?" ”
"Of course, I remember that he left a deep impression on me, there are not many Dothraki who can speak lingua franca and Dothraki, and who have learned Valyrian, and as far as I know, there is only one person, Mengo, and the Doge mentioned him, did he receive news about him?"
Illyrio sighed and said: "Yes, according to the news from the caravan, the assassinated Giacocao appointed Mengo as the new Kao, and after he took office, he expanded his sphere of influence, and the entire small and medium-sized Karasa west of the Dothrak Sea was annexed by him, and his total number of Karasas has reached more than 30,000 people, including fifteen thousand warriors. Who would have thought that the young man who was once just a cole would become one of the four major Kaos of Dothraki alongside Drogo, Bono, and Kuma. ”
When Sir Jorah heard the Governor's words, he was also shocked by the rapidly growing power of Mengo, and thought that the young men who were chatting side by side with him had achieved such results.
But he still lost the family power of Bear Island, was hired by Illyrio, and the circumstances of his life were really unpredictable.
After feeling a little in his heart, Chora said: "I have long known that Mengo is not an ordinary person, he can get everything he has now, the Dothraki people have no shortage of warriors, what they lack is the ambitious Kao, I feel that Mengo will bring a different future to the Dothraki people." ”
Illyrio agreed: "You're right, on this continent, the nine free trade city-states only focus on commerce, and the three major city-states of Slave Bay have no big achievements, and the overlord of this continent still depends on who among the four Kao can unify Dothraki." ”
"I'm more optimistic about Mengo, he's young, ambitious, and has a great future, has the Doge considered marrying Princess Daenerys to Mengo?"
Illyrio pondered for a moment and then said, "The previous target Drogocao was to develop east of the Dothrak Sea, so he has not been contacted. In terms of the sphere of influence of several Kao, we are the closest to Mengo, and we should have courted him to our side, but I am afraid that Mengo's ambitions will be too much to jeopardize the stability of Pantos and all the free city-states, so I will marry her to the ambitious Drogo Kao according to the original plan. ”
Sir Jorah understood what the Governor meant, that only the stupid were easy to deal with, and that the too clever would make the neighbours afraid.
"By the way, Lord Governor, you told me to send someone to keep Daenerys safe, and he seems angry that my men have recently stopped Viserys from trying to assault his sister several times."
Illyrio said unhappily: "This stupid wandering prince has already broken the country, and he still wants to break the body of his sister Daenerys according to their family tradition, doesn't he know the truth that broken goods are worthless?" Don't worry, I'll talk to him about it. But Sir Jorah, I also warn you, although you are protected by Daenerys, do not think anything of her, if you want a woman, there are many little girls of thirteen or fourteen years old in the city, there is no need to keep an eye on her. ”
"Yes, Lord Governor."
……
There's also a big event happening on the continent of Westeros lately.
The de facto ruler of the kingdom, King Robert Brown. Baratheon and Eddard, the Guardian of the East. Stark's adoptive father, Hand of the King, Guardian of the East, Lord of the Eagle's Nest, and Patriarch of House Erin, Jon. The Duke of Arryn died of a heart attack.
Lost Jon. King Robert, who was immersed in beauty and wine all day long, was forced to take power, but His Majesty was troubled by the cumbersome affairs of the Seven Kingdoms, and then he remembered his brother Eddard who had helped him ascend to the throne. Stark.
King Robert announced that he was leaving for Winterfell in the North to appoint Eddard. Duke Stark became the new Hand of the King, assisting him in administering the Seven Kingdoms.
From King's Landing, along King's Avenue, the King took Queen Cersei and his eldest prince Joffrey to Winterfell.
Winterfell is said to be the ancestor of the Stark family, Brandon the Builder, a castle built with the help of giants, and is the central capital of the North, and continues north to the Great Wall and Black Castle, where the Night's Watch are stationed.
The ten-acre castle has two thick walls, Winterfell is surrounded by sacred trees, and the main castle is built on a hot spring whose water is piped to the various rooms, so it is comfortable to live in the main castle in the often bitter cold of the north.
King Robert, who hasn't seen him for a long time, has been pulling Eddard these days. Duke Stark reminisces about the past and tries to convince Eddard to accept the appointment of the Hand of the King, so that he can return to King's Landing with him to help govern the Seven Kingdoms.
Sharina. The Lannisters also followed their queen sister to Winterfell, and after arriving here, Sarina dragged Eddard's youngest son Rickon around every day to play, and in the eyes of the others, it was the two children playing, but in fact the two had been discussing other things.
Pointing to a boy who had climbed onto the castle wall, Sarina asked, "He's your brother Bran. Stark? ”
"Yes, I have two older brothers who have the right to inherit, Rob. Stark and Bran. Stark, do you have a way to get rid of them? ”
"Rob, I can't help it for the time being, I really have a good way to get rid of this Bran who likes to climb walls, you find him, find a way to let him climb the tallest broken watchtower, as long as he climbs there, there will be a big surprise waiting for him."
Ricken asked suspiciously, "What surprise?" ”
With a sweet smile, Sarina said, "My beautiful queen sister Cersei and my brother Jaime are engaged in an intimate but fierce battle up there, what do you think would happen if Bran found out?" ”
Rickon laughed as well, "I know, I'm going to stimulate Bran." ”
On a dilapidated watchtower, the beautiful Queen Cersei. Lannister, the red high-end silk robe was lifted to the back, the whole person was lying on the straw mat and moaning constantly, and the handsome Jaime behind him. The Lannisters kept sprinting, and the long-lasting battle between the two continued.
Cersei once again raised her head comfortably and shouted Jaime's name happily, but unexpectedly saw a boy standing on the window looking at her, and the frightened queen hurriedly said, "Stop, stop!" Jimmy! ”
Sensing that something was wrong with her sister, Jaime followed her gaze and also spotted the boy in the window, Jaime lifted his pants and came to the window and grabbed the boy, "Child, don't you want to die?" ”
Cersei said in horror, "He saw us, what should I do?" He saw us! ”
Jaime leaned down the window and looked outside, and after noticing no one else, he settled down and said, "It's okay, how old are you, kid?" ”
Brand. Stark said, "I'm thirteen years old. ”
Jaime looked helpless and regretful and said, "Thirteen years old, just sacrifice for love." He pushed Bran off the tall watchtower.
Shalina, who had been secretly observing from afar, said to Rickon, "Look, you have one less opponent, who are our next targets?" ”
