Duke Tywin looked at the Magic Mountain.

For the first time, Fellow felt that there was an indescribable strange tacit understanding between the Duke and the Magic Mountain.

It was something he had just felt, and he had never felt it before.

"Did you hear any prophecy from the mouth of the witch queen?" the Duke asked the Magic Mountain.

"Yes. ”

"What prophecy?" the Duke stared at the Magic Mountain, his eyes could see through everything.

"Father, let's go and ask Witch Ji himself, Witch Queen's prophecy requires Father's blood. My prophecy is not very good. ”

"What prophecy?" the Duke asked again.

"Two years later, in the halls of Maegul in King's Landing, I was stabbed by Oberon Martell, a red serpent from Dorne, whose spear was smeared with the venom of a viper. ”

Both the Duke and the Bachelor adjusted their postures slightly.

Sixteen years ago, Oberon Martell's sister, Elia Martell, was raped and killed by the Magic Mountain in the nursery of the royal palace, and the person who ordered it was the Duke of Tywin. The Magic Mountain then fell and killed the princess's baby boy.

The duke said in a deep voice: "What nonsense. ”

Moshan said: "Okay, I'm also skeptical. ”

"Never credible. Duke Tywin said flatly.

Cocoa!

There was a knock on the door.

The Duke nodded, and the Master went over and opened the door.

The squire enters, a boy with all the characteristics of the Lannisters, his name is William Lannister, the second son of Kayvon Lannister, who is thirteen years old.

The little boy was obviously a little afraid of the Magic Mountain, and he leaned in the direction of the bachelor: "Lord Duke, the messenger from the Iron Islands wants to ask if you need iron ore to get off the ship, if we don't need iron ore, they will leave the ship." ”

"How much more will they have to raise the price this time before they are willing to place the goods?" Moshan asked in a deep voice.

William was taken aback and stammered, "They have raised the price of five gold dragons in total this time, and this time a total of five ships of iron ore have come." ”

"The price of the Iron Islands has risen from seven golden dragons to twenty-eight golden dragons and one ship, and now these five ships of ore need five more golden dragons out of thin air, this is too much, father, the iron should be completely eradicated. Demon Mountain said angrily.

Duke Tywin's face turned cold and hard.

"Do they have to raise the price this time?"

"Yes. The boy winced, "Lord Duke, they say, this is already the lowest price. They were supposed to increase the price of two golden dragons in one boat, but this time they only increased the price of one golden dragon. ”

"Okay, go ahead, I see. The Duke said coldly.

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

William bowed slightly, turned and walked out, and gently closed the door.

The child pays great attention to the details and is decent.

The Magic Mountain was furious and said, "Father, I want to meet the bastards from the Iron Islands. "He's imposing.

"What do you want to do?"

"I want to talk to them that we will not accept another increase in their price. ”

Duke Tywin looked at the Magic Mountain, his face was expressionless, and he leaned back slightly: "Sir Gregor, you go and get busy with your business first, I'll deal with this matter." ”

Demon Mountain snorted: "Father, the Iron Race is a pariah, they must be eradicated, and the Iron Islands will become a subsidiary island of the Western Realm, and I am willing to take the lead." ”

The duke stared at the magic mountain: "You go too, don't go to the trouble of the iron seed, I'll deal with it." I'll let you know in advance when I want to use you. ”

Moshan didn't answer, glanced at the duke, strode out, he opened the door and left, and the door was not closed. Fellow Potter hurriedly ran over and closed the door to the study.

"Bachelor?!" said the Duke.

"Yes, sir. ”

"If we're going to go to war with the Iron Islands, what's the good reason?"

Bachelor Potter still has some knowledge in this area.

"Lord Duke, whether it was in the Targaryen Dynasty or in the time of King Robert, the Iron Islands will rise up and stand on their own once they have a little strength, and they will never have the slightest loyalty, throughout history, rebellion and self-reliance have always been the tradition of the Iron Breeds. ”

"Well, rebellion is a good excuse. "If we raise an army to eradicate iron, we won't have to worry about iron ore again. But we still have a problem, once there is no gold mine, many of our miners have to go back to their homes, but the family does not have enough land for them to plant. ”

"yes. "We have many mountains and few fields, and we have to import a large amount of grain every year, so we cannot be as self-sufficient as the river land and the river bay land." Once thousands of miners lose their jobs and return home without enough fields for them to plant, a large number of idle laborers will also become a serious social problem. ”

Tywin clasped his hands together and propped up his chin, "Bachelor, take out the map of the Seven Kingdoms and take a look." ”

"Yes, sir!"

*

There is a harbor inside the West Side of Kaiyan City.

The harbor is a huge cavity formed by the long-term erosion of the rocks by the sea.

The hollows that have been washed away for thousands of years go straight to the interior of the West Side.

More than a dozen piers line the perimeter of the hollow.

Although it is not as large as the nearly 100 docks in Lannisport and the 100 or so docks in King's Landing, it is rare to see a dock that goes deep into the city.

Five ships of iron ore from the Iron Islands docked at one of the piers.

Magic Mountain came to the port of Xicheng and saw these five ships of iron ore.

The five ships carrying iron ore have become significantly smaller than in the past.

If the Duke is forced to accept this price increase, then there is no doubt that the iron ore sold by the Iron Islands to Lannisport, the iron ore sold to Fairy Island, and the iron ore sold to the Chicken Hall and Crag Rock Castle will all increase in price.

This will be another large expenditure that the West will have to increase. But that's not the point, the real point is that the greed of the iron breed never ends.

The Magic Mountain came with his brothers.

Because of this matter, he can't make a move.

The Duke had told him that the Duke would personally handle the matter.

Well, the Magic Mountain doesn't interfere in the matter of negotiating the price, but if these Iron Islands guys dare to molest the women of the West, it is only natural that their legs will be broken.

The iron breeds' favorite thing to do is to raid. This is their tradition, and they call it the 'Ancient Way'. The ancient road is the expression of the concrete external form of the plunder culture of the iron tradition. In this pirate culture, the value of a person is mainly determined by the level of his raiding skills and the amount of living resources he can grab.

Iron Mins do not wear any jewelry unless they "pay for the iron". Paying iron money has nothing to do with taking money to shop, the iron money of the iron people is his knife and fist, and he kills or knocks you down, which is called paying iron money. Then, your accessories will have to go to him, because he has 'paid the iron money' to complete the purchase process.

Looking at the number of decorations on Tiemin's body, you can know the level of his bravery.

The Iron Islands are home to a lot of iron ore, and the entire island of Grand Wick is iron ore. In addition to the iron mines, the ironmen also own island farms.

The mines and farms of the Iron Islands were called slave laborers, and all of them were captured by the Iron People during the raids, and the Iron People, as the true people of the Iron Islands, disdained to do such menial work.

They have a high self-esteem and a sense of superiority.

In addition to working as slave labor, the female captives were also responsible for 'warming the beds' for the iron people at night.

A man of the Iron People can have an unlimited number of "salt concubines", but only one "rock wife". Iwazuma must be a native of the Iron People, because in the eyes of the Iron People, except for the races of the Iron Islands, the races of all other people are weak and lowly.

Therefore, the presumptuousness of the women of the 'green land' has always been a fine tradition of the iron breeds who feel good about themselves.

Enter the most famous restaurant in the port, go up to the highest point, and sit down by the window. When he looked down, he saw two seductively dressed women walking on the docks with their waists swaying, while his brothers were wandering around in front of the stalls of the small vendors on the docks.

In a few moments, a whistle sounded on the iron ore ship, and several iron men jumped ashore, and began to tease the two women in rude language, and moved their hands and feet, asking for the price.

They recognized two women from good families as prostitutes.

Well, these two women pretending to be good families are indeed prostitutes.

The world will be in chaos, and the iron must be eradicated, so let's light the first fire.
