Chapter 0926 - In the Name of the Iron Vault

Magic Mountain and Daenerys' first night in Astapor.

Lunn, Greyworm, Jorah, and Missalo each led two hundred Unsullied soldiers ready for the event.

At night, the lights of the Astapor are still there.

The wind lanterns on the large and small pyramids of the city are lit one by one.

The outside of the pyramid of the royal palace, the spire, the body of the tower, and the gate were hung with wind lamps and lit up one by one.

Lights, illuminate the night in Astapor.

Sitting on top of the pyramid and watching the lights of the city is a great sight.

Inside the pyramid of the royal palace, hundreds of candles the size of a child's arm were lit, illuminating every corner of the palace as if it were day.

Prince Arrene Martel was sleepy and fell asleep early.

The Magic Mountain sat on the top of the palace pyramid with Daenerys, who was a little emotional and excited.

The dragon thief didn't know where he went, and the black dragon Zhuo Geng crouched on the spire, as if he knew his master's thoughts.

The white dragon Viserys also disappeared early.

Dragons are very autonomous animals, and when they arrive in a new place, they always like to go to the mountains to catch some game. After getting used to eating the magic mountain, eating some rough food is also another kind of taste and attraction.

There was no ban in the city, the night market was open, and the women's hospital was still open for business. Countless people drink and carnival in the streets, light bonfires and dance, this night king, seems to be the happiest and happiest festival of the people of the city.

The return of the Mother of Dragons and the announcement that she will not leave again has the lowest of the people singing and dancing with joy. All the slaves in the prison cells of the city have been freed, dozens of large and small slave markets have also been ordered to close, all the slaves have been freed at the same time, and thousands of slaves have regained their freedom.

A considerable number of the slave convicts who were imprisoned in the palace cells by the butcher king were the good lords of the original city, the captains of ships, the wealthy merchants, and the freedmen. There were also some Unsullied soldiers and centurions, who were turned into slaves by the Butcher King for disagreeing with the cruel decrees of King Clyde the Butcher.

Today, in the basement of the royal palace, Clyde the Butcher has become a prisoner.

He will be tried in public by a council of priests, scholars, and doctors, and Clyde will be beheaded in public if convicted of treason.

A butcher who kills pigs can become the acting king by supporting the Mother of Dragons, and he also has some extraordinary courage. When Daenerys captured Astapor, Clyde the Butcher gathered a group of dead soldiers to join the battle and help the Mother of Dragons capture Astapor. After the departure of the Mother of Dragons, the Butcher King began a bloody crackdown and punishment of anyone in the city who did not like him, and eventually, the other king's authority exploded and the slavery abolished by the queen was restored.

Clyde put himself on a point of no return without hesitation.

On the open-air balcony at the top of the palace pyramid, the Magic Mountain and Daenerys lay comfortably on the soft collapse. In front of them was a small sandalwood table with spice candles lit. A silver hourglass rests on a small table. The hourglass is used to keep time.

During the day, according to the method of the Magic Mountain, the good lords of the whole city have been ordered to be responsible for the security of their own areas, ensuring that there can be no killing of the son of the Harpy, and if it appears, the good lord of the place where the incident occurred will be beheaded.

Magic Mountain is very confident in this plan, and Daenerys agrees with it, but there is still a faint uneasiness in her heart. She doesn't want to provoke conflicts with the good masters, and she doesn't want to be completely sharply opposed. Daenerys's marriage engagement with Sitzdala was purely for politics and had nothing to do with love.

Magic Mountain was radical this time, and Daenerys couldn't change his mind. She eventually chose to follow.

The terrible thing about the Harpy Son is faith!

Based on her experience of capturing and battling the Harpy Son four years ago, Daenerys knew that every warrior of the Harpy Son would not fear death.

They are not afraid of death at all, there is no doubt about that.

But the Magic Mountain thinks that the good masters will be afraid of death. The good lords do not want to be destroyed.

And Daenerys also knows that the supporter behind the Harpy Son is the good master.

Seeing the last grain of sand dripping from the hourglass, this indicates that it is already the middle of the night, and people are still partying on the streets of Astapor, and there are no scouts in the four cities to report the bloody incident.

In the barracks outside the palace, a thousand unsullied men and four generals were already ready for any contingencies. Their armor was not taken off, their spears, shields and short knives were ready, and they stayed in the barracks, waiting for an order.

With Her Majesty accompanied by the Magic Mountain and the Black Dragon, both Jorah Mormont and Missannelo were sent by Daenerys to join the soldiers in the barracks.

The night breeze blew and brought laughter and laughter throughout the city. The revelers did not know that at the top of the pyramid of the royal palace, their Queen Majesty was still worried about their safety.

Unguarded nights like this, where freed slaves and freedmen reveled unchecked, Daenerys had never tried it in Astapor.

This was also the idea of the Magic Mountain.

The Ice Sword of the Demon Mountain is also ready, and as long as there is news from anywhere, he and Daenerys will rush to the scene as soon as possible. The Ice Sword of the Demon Mountain is not to cut off the head of the son of the Harpy, but the head of the good lord in the place where the incident occurred.

Magic Mountain is very sure in his heart.

He knew there would be no homicide tonight.

No good lord's neck can be harder than the blade of the Ice Sword, and this is the strongest guarantee.

Even if the good lords want to resist, it won't be tonight. They had to change their strategy and think about something else.

But Magic Mountain also has a plan for the next step.

The children of the Harpy will be contained, and then assimilated.

To conquer any place, the difficulties in the early stage are definitely there. The Magic Mountain has never been sympathetic to the children of the Harpy, and has never thought of reconciliation. He knew that he couldn't change the minds of those people, and that to completely change the minds of those people, he had to start with the next generation.

The children of the Harpy of this generation, they will be completely suppressed and disintegrated, there is no doubt about it. If it doesn't, then Astapor will return to the tricky situation that Daenerys once faced.

Prince Arlenne Martell awoke, and it was already dawn.

She felt so comfortable sleeping.

Arrene had no worries in her heart, she didn't care about the threat of the Harpy's Son. Also has no feeling for everything Daenerys is worried about.

She has a wide heart and a fat body, and she sleeps soundly.

Get up, wash under the service of the maid, drink milk with honey, eat the fragrant and hot bread, and then dress up and go out.

The interior of the pyramid palace was large and luxurious, and it was full of gold, allowing Alen to appreciate the luxurious life of the great benevolent lords of the past.

The Pyramid of the Royal Palace was the abode of the Great Good Lord who once ruled Astapor.

Arlene came to the main hall and did not see Daenerys or the Magic Mountain.

Isn't it time to deal with government affairs in the main hall?

In fact, being a king is not as comfortable as being a prince.

Every day, there are so many administrative matters to be dealt with, and the petitions of the people form a long queue from the moment the palace gates are opened. When Alen looked at the team, she wondered. In Dorne's administration, Alen only held meetings with the highest-ranking courtiers, and never received petitions from his subjects. bar

In King's Landing, Alen had seen the Mountain handle the petitions of its people in the throne hall.

Many people, before dawn, lined up in the corridor outside the gate of the throne hall.

Daenerys was the same king in Astapor. Yesterday, Daenerys did not announce the reception of the people's petition, and she had more important business to deal with, which was to issue a security decree to the good lords of the city. However, there were still many people who lined up outside the palace to see Her Majesty. Those people can petition Her Majesty for anything, and these big-tempered people will come to Her Majesty to petition for such trivial things as disputes with their neighbours.

No matter how big or small, they all come to petition.

The petitioning party saw that Arlene was in a good mood. She knew it would make Daenerys tired, and she didn't have to.

But this morning, it's so late, and I don't see Magic Mountain and Daenerys coming here to deal with government affairs.

On the high steps of the queen stood Lady Emily, Missandei's handmaidens, as well as soldiers and scholars, and doctors.

"Missandei, what about His Majesty?" asked Arlene.

"His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen are at the top of the tower. ”

"At the top of the tower, aren't they going to deal with business today?"

"Today's people's petition is handled by Lady Emily, Lady Shirley, Claude Scholars, and me. Missandei said.

"Take me to the top of the tower. Arlene said to the maid beside her.

She was proud to be pregnant, so Daenerys arranged for four maids and four guards to give her.

"Yes, Your Highness. ”

When Alene reached the top of the tower, she saw the mountain and Daenerys leaning together.

"Morning!" Daenerys said, looking in good spirits.

"What are you doing here?"

"We've been here all the time last night. Daenerys laughed.

Alianne looked at the Magic Mountain suspiciously, and looked at Daenerys: "You didn't sleep all night last night?"

"Yes, I didn't sleep. ”

"There was no movement from the Harpy Sons last night?"

"A little miracle, no Harpy son came out to kill last night. ”

"Not one?" said last night, it was an astapor. In such an environment, it is easiest for the Harpy Son to come out and kill people, and it is also the easiest to cause panic.

"Not a single one. Magic Mountain stood up, looked down at the cityscape made up of pyramids, and said, "What happened last night, it can be determined that the son of the Harpy is controlled by the good lords. In this way, things will be easier. Banshee warriors are not afraid of death, but the good masters want to live a long life."

Several horsebacks rode to Baraola Street.

The general at the head is the Gray Worm.

He jumped off his horse and slammed on the door of a pyramid.

The door opened, and two mercenaries stood inside.

"Tell the good lord of Cork to come out, Her Majesty has an order. ”

Soon, the good lord of Cork came out, and when he saw that it was a gray worm, his face was smiling widely.

"General, please be seated inside. ”

"No need, Her Majesty has ordered that the three good lords of Cork, Christine, and Achill in Baraola Street must go to the palace immediately, and there is a need to discuss with the three good lords on government affairs. ”

"Christine and Archill are gone?" Cork's eyes wandered.

"Not yet, you're the first. Get on your horse and join me in inviting Christine and Achill. "The gray worm has never had a good impression of the good master, and his tone is not polite at all. His Unsullied soldiers have also been abused by the good masters since childhood, and are hostile to all of them.

"Yes. I'm going to change my toca suit. ”

Soon, the Good Lord of Kok, the Good Lord of Christine, the Good Lord of Achill and the Grey Worm, surrounded by the soldiers of the Unsullied, headed for the palace.

"General Greyworm, is there anything important that Her Majesty has summoned us?" said Cork laughed.

"I'm only in charge of the herald, Lord Kork, and I don't know anything else. Gray Worm said coldly.

Christine took out a money bag with a gold thread embroidered with an invisible banshee pattern from her bosom, and the money bag was bulging and full of gold coins. He handed the money bag to the gray worm: "The general is hard, this is a heart, please have a glass of wine for the soldiers." ”

Gray Worm took the money bag with an expressionless face: "Thank you Christine, I will give the money to the brothers." ”

The three good masters all laughed together.

The attitude of the three good lords such as Cork has changed a little from yesterday, they are welcome, cooperative, humble, and grovel, which makes the gray worm very uncomfortable. He would rather these good lords be cold and arrogant.

The group came to the palace. Outside the palace gates, there was another long queue of people who had come to petition.

The Greyworm enters with three good lords, and Cork discovers that no other good lord has arrived.

The Mother of Dragons had only summoned the three of them, much to the chagrin of Cork and the others.

In the main hall, the three good lords saw Her Majesty the Queen sitting on the throne, and the fierce King Magic Mountain also sat on it this time, and his huge body made Queen Daenerys look like a beautiful girl.

"Good Lord Cork, do you know the Iron Vault of Braavos?" said the Magic Mountain.

"Your Majesty, I have heard. ”

"The Iron Vault, Braavos, Pantos, Norfos, Reese, Valantis, Mill, and Telosi are all mine. ”

"Oh?!" Cork couldn't hide the shock in his heart.

"Iron Treasury will open a branch bank in Baraora, the bank that bears my name: the Klegane Bank. Magic Mountain said. The Iron Treasury is very powerful in the continent of Assos, surpassing the fame of the Clegane Bank by hundreds of times. Magic Mountain wants to set up a branch of the Clegane Bank in Astapor, and take advantage of the situation in the name of a fake iron vault.

"Oh, the Iron Treasury Branch Bank is located in Baraora? Cork said respectfully.

"This is the banknote issued by the Iron Vault Bank, you and Christine and Archill will take a look at it first, and you will be familiar with it. Magic Mountain took out the money from the Clegane Bank, and Missandei took it, walked down the high steps, and came to the bottom of the steps, handed several notes of different denominations to the three good lords, and explained to them the value of each note one by one.

The three good lords listened - a little inexplicable.

The Magic Mountain said: "The three good lords, the Essos Continent and the Westeros Continent, will all use the banknotes of the Clegane Bank. All the gold, silver and copper coins in your house will be exchanged for paper money of equal value at the branch of the Bank of Crega. The royal family has just begun to introduce paper money in Astapor, and the people will not understand, there will be resistance, and this will require someone to set an example, and in return, I will allow the three of you to take a stake in the branch of the Bank of Crega, and I now formally invite you to join the Iron Vault. ”
