040:Drogo's Death (3)

Led by the black-robed Assassin, Illyrio and his servants entered Liu Jian's tent.

The moment he entered the tent, Illyrio saw Liu Jian's figure. He couldn't have seen it, because the figure was too eye-catching. A large, mountain-like figure reclined on a large chair with the fur of the white lion, his face hidden in the darkness because of the light. He just sat there, like a majestic mountain, and like some kind of beast hidden in the darkness, and the aura of danger came to his face.

On one of his hands, there was an oval-shaped golden orb that seemed to sparkle in the night. Illyrio could see the raised scales and black threads of the oval-shaped golden orb, which was undoubtedly a dragon egg.

Illyrio remembered the rumors he had heard that the new ruler of Sidothraki had a special penchant for collecting dragon eggs, and that anyone who brought them to him could be rewarded handsomely, or that you could make a wish for this Kao that was not too much. As long as this Kao thinks it is worthwhile, then your wish will surely come true.

This discovery made Illyrio breathe a sigh of relief, and he was a little more sure about the purpose of his trip. After all, since this powerful Kao has such an extraordinary hobby for dragon eggs, the true dragon bloodline must also be able to arouse his interest.

"I am the son of Kellen, the heir of the Valyrian bloodline, the ruler of the ancestors, and the Elector of the Free Trade Union. Illyrio, Defender of Pantos, congratulates the Defender of Dothraki with great joy. An undefeated god of war and ruler of the Great Sea of Grass in Dothraki. King of the Dothraki, the great Titankao, your reign over Dothraki will last forever like the sun shining on the earth. Illyrio stroked his chest with one hand, bowed his head slightly, and reported a series of titles of himself and Liu Jian in his mouth.

Although Liu Jian felt that it was really boring for everyone in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire to add a series of stinky and long titles in front of their names, especially since Liu Jian's own name had been preceded by the Protector of Dothraki, the king of the Dothraki, and the undefeated god of war. The ruler of the Great Sea of Grass of Dothraki has so many titles that he himself can't remember. An individual's power and prestige can only come from his own strength, not from this stinky and long series of titles. But this is the so-called ancient aristocratic style of Europe, and the customs of this world are like this, and Liu Jian has no way.

Just like the later dragon lady Daenerys, her title is terrifying, and her full name is 'Queen Meereen, Queen of the Andals, Queen of the Noyna, Queen of the Ancestors, and Carrisy of the Prairies.' The Shackle Crusher, the Mother of Dragons, the Unburner, the Storm-Born Daenerys. That's just a sketch. If not to be abbreviated, her title should also be added to the title of Conqueror of Astapo and Yuankai.

It's just boring.

However, although Liu Jian didn't like this kind of customs and rules, it didn't reach the level of disgust. It will not reach the level of Liu Jian's extreme dislike for slavery and the existing feudal system. So, although I feel awkward. After a few times, Liu Jian also accepted it.

And. Listening to the long list of titles that others continue to report is really a bit ...... It's very fulfilling.

Liu Jian tilted his head slightly, looking at the fat man who had come all the way from Pantos. Although he didn't know him, the identity of the governor of Pantos reminded Liu Jian that it should be this person who facilitated the marriage between Daenerys and Drogo in the original book. If memory serves, Daenerys and her brother Viserys should have settled in his palace by now.

Da-da-da-da!

Putting the dragon egg in his hand on his thigh, Liu Jian covered the dragon egg with one hand, and bent a finger to gently tap on the dragon egg. In the silence of the tent, the monotonous sound of percussion swirled back and forth throughout the tent, and in the silence, Illyrio, the governor of Pantos, soon understood why his good friend, His Excellency the Governor of Antillor, would ask him not to treat the Titankao as a normal Dothraki.

In fact, he said that it was submerged!

This is not a Dothraki at all!

Among the nine city-states of the Free Trade Alliance, Illyrio considers himself to be the one who has the most contact with the Dothraki and knows the most about the Dothraki culture. What a typical Dothraki would look like, a man who grew up in Karatha, Dothraki, Illyrio questioned that no one in this world knew more than he did.

So, Illyrio could tell, regardless of who was sitting in the chair right now.

He is undoubtedly not a Dothraki, and he does not have the slightest hint of Dothraki cultural influence.

That's not the point, though.

Illyrio didn't care if it was the Dothraki who ruled the Dothraki or something else, even if it was a horse or a shell that ruled them, all Illyrio cared about was his business and the safety of Pantos, and if he expanded a little, he cared a little bit about the safety of the entire Free Trade Alliance.

As for the Dothraki, who cares if they die if they don't have to?

Illyrio is worried about the current atmosphere, which, based on Illyrio's long-term experience in dealing and negotiating, often means that there will be countless troubles waiting for him in the next negotiations.

He had to start the conversation and make the atmosphere a little more lively.

Illyrio's gaze swept over the golden dragon egg, and he immediately found the right topic.

"What a beautiful gem." Illyrio looked at the golden dragon egg on Liu Jian's lap, showing a look of appreciation and fascination: "No matter how many times you look at them, they look so beautiful and moving, it's almost like they're made of gold." Great Titankao, I also own several dragon eggs, but none of them are as beautiful as this one in your hands. ”

As he spoke, Illyrio took a few steps ahead as if he wanted to observe the dragon egg, observing that the dragon egg was fake. His real purpose was to get a little further ahead, to peek through the darkness. See the look on the face of the giant humanoid.

At this moment, Illyrio heard a cold voice coming from the darkness. A simple pronunciation: "Oh." ”

I couldn't hear much emotion, but it was undoubtedly good news for Illyrio, and this voice, which represented the owner of the voice, the powerful Titan Kao, was interested in what he was saying.

That's good.

It's good to be interested, or at least a good start.

Illyrio hurried a few steps forward, talking endlessly about his dragon eggs, which led to all kinds of mysterious legends about dragons, but his eyes pierced through the darkness. Begin to look at the face hidden in the darkness.

It was a face that resembled that of a Dothraki, but it was softer and more delicate than that of a Dothraki, not as rough as a typical Dothraki, and its black onyx-like eyes seemed to sparkle in the darkness, staring at him with interest.

"Sure enough, this is by no means a Dothraki." Illyrio was even more sure of his judgment.

He saw the face of the rumored Titankao, his face looked very handsome, his lips and chin were cleanly shaved, and he did not have any beard. He looked to be in his mid-twenties, and most likely even younger. Illyrio couldn't tell his age well, and he always felt that this Kao seemed to be older than he looked, but ...... It's like it's going to be smaller and younger.

His hair doesn't grow long either. He didn't tie his braids, but just casually draped them down, and his eyes like black onyx passed through the flowing sea in front of his forehead. A little more wise and mysterious.

If he wasn't very clear about the identity of the person in front of him, Illyrio didn't even think it was supposed to be a Dothraki Kao. It's a wise scholar from the school city.

However, this was all before Illyrio noticed Liu Jian's body.

Liu Jian was wearing only a pair of shorts, which exposed his body to Illyrio's eyes.

Beneath the bronzed skin are bulging explosive muscles. Just like the marble statues of Valantis that Illyrio had seen that showed the strength and charm of men. You can imagine what kind of explosive power is hidden in such a body!

Perfect!

This was Illyrio's first reaction when he saw this body.

"The Seven Gods are above, is this a creation carved by the gods themselves?!"

"Illyrio, I'm interested in dragon legends." Illyrio's shocked reaction made Liu Jian smile with a pretending success, and then continued: "Can you tell me more about the legend of the dragon?" ”

"Of course." Illyrio quickly realized that he had lost his temper, and hurriedly responded to Liu Jian's words: "I don't know what kind of legend Titan Kao wants to know?" ”

"In every way."

"In all directions?"

Liu Jian gently tapped the dragon egg and smiled: "All! ”

This dragon egg is a gift from Antillor to Liu Jian, Liu Jian only gave Antillor such generous conditions, in addition to stabilizing Antillor, a seemingly reliable partner, Antillor's gift this time contains such a golden dragon egg with black threads that is extremely valuable, and it is also one of the reasons why Liu Jian is willing to pay such a generous price.

After all, this was the first dragon egg Liu Jian had received.

For the people of this world, dragons are extinct creatures. Dragon eggs are also no longer possible to hatch, and countless people have tried countless ways to hatch dragon eggs, but they have ended up with failure, ridicule, and death.

The Nine Mages crossed the sea to hatch the dragon eggs stored by Aegon III, and the "beloved by the gods" Baylor prayed for half a year over the eggs, Aegon IV invented the Wood and Iron Dragon, and the "Bright Flame" Ilion drank wildgunpowder in a vain attempt to make himself a dragon. The mage failed, King Baelor's prayers went unanswered, the wooden dragon was burned, and Prince Ilion died screaming.

The entire world of A Song of Ice and Fire doesn't have any expectations for hatching dragon eggs, but even so, dragon eggs are still an extremely valuable thing. First of all, they are very rare, whether they have any practical use or not, and they are always artificially very valuable, and secondly, they are very beautiful, and dragon eggs look like fine ceramic, enamel or glass from the outside. Rare and beautiful things, such as gemstones, pearls and jade, which are completely useless for human survival, are often artificially given extremely high value, not to mention that although these dragon eggs have no hope of hatching dragons, they are still related to dragons and still add a lot of value to them.

Liu Jian wanted to get the dragon egg, not because he regarded it as a collector's item like most people in this world, but really wanted to try to hatch it.

After all, he knew very well that in the original book shortly after, Governor Illyrio of Pantos was in Daenerys, the Mother of Dragons. The wedding gifts given at the wedding ceremony of Targaryen and Drogo, the three dragon eggs that were thought to have become fossils finally hatched. The Targaryens, the girl who lost everything with Drogo's death, suddenly had the greatest power potential in the world...... Dragon!

Since Daenerys. Targaryen can hatch dragon eggs that are generally considered to have been fossilized and cannot be hatched again, which means that these dragon eggs can actually be hatched, but for a long time, since Aegon the Dragonscourge, no one has correctly mastered the method of hatching dragon eggs.

Only, until now...... Liu Jian has not yet found the right way to hatch dragons.

Liu Jian doesn't know much about the dragons in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, after all, he has only watched the TV series "Game of Thrones" adapted from "A Song of Ice and Fire" launched by HBO TV Network, and he has also turned over the original book a little, but it is only to the extent of flipping over, without too much in-depth understanding, he also knows that in many ways, the original work of "A Song of Ice and Fire" and the adaptation "Game of Thrones" are very different, not to mention that in addition to the original book, Martin also has a huge set of settings that are several times thicker than the original.

Liu Jian is completely ignorant of the world.

Now that there is a figure in front of him who seems to be very well-informed, very knowledgeable, and has requests for him, Liu Jian certainly doesn't mind squeezing more information out of him.

It turns out that Liu Jian has found the right person.

Illyrio was indeed a man of great knowledge, after all, he was a great merchant who had business in Westeros, the Free Trade League, Slave Bay, the Great Sea of Grass of Dothraki, and even the shadows of Asha.

The word "well-informed" is almost for people like them. (To be continued.) )
