Chapter 22 How the Belt and Road Party was Cultivated
It's almost an open secret that Josh is interested in Avella, even though Avella herself knows about it.
But neither of them made any statements or anything like that, anyway, they were pretending to be stupid and the other were always calm, and no one didn't have eyes to break through this kind of thing.
So today, Wella suddenly whispered to Avella about the consequence of this, and Avella immediately blushed like something.
After all, Avella is not a girl like Natasha, and her education is still very strict.
It's not about how Natasha is, but Natasha's living environment since she was a child and the spy training she received, coupled with the natural personality of European and American girls, make her much more open than Avella.
Although Avella blushed a little, she was still relatively calm.
After taking a deep breath, she shifted the subject away, which seemed a little too early for her, and it seemed like a good way to get along with each other like this now.
But people are contradictory, and elves are no exception.
Although Avira thought so, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at Josh, only to see Josh's gaze, which suddenly made her face redder and lowered her head, which also made Josh a little baffled.
It was a little strange, but Josh didn't bother to ask.
Led by the guide, he casually threw a gold coin and hired a child who looked to be eleven or twelve years old, and Josh and the others soon arrived at the residence of Illyrio Mopatis.
Speaking of which, this guy can be regarded as a relatively important character in the whole plot, because many key characters have some connections with this guy.
Speaking of which, this guy is relatively loyal to love, but he is also a very self-aware guy.
In his youth, he was a poor assassin who lived in the shadow of a sword.
When young Varys, the bald spy leader of King's Landing, arrives in Pantos and they become friends, run out together, and become wealthy.
Illyrio gradually made a decent living and married a cousin of Prince Pantos.
However, the princess died, and after her death, Illyrio married a woman named Silas, a woman who had lost her foot, an act that angered the prince and ordered him to be banned from the court forever.
Illyrio and Silas had a very happy time together until a merchant ship from Braavos brought the plague to Pantos.
The rats carrying the plague in the ship ran into the town and claimed the lives of more than 2,000 people, including Silas.
To be honest, Josh thought it was the Black Death when he saw this paragraph, but unfortunately there was not much mention of it in the original book.
As for Illyrio, he used an elaborate pendant box containing Silas's portrait and saved one of her hands to commemorate his lost love.
Even when this guy went to Westeros, the sunset country, he kept these two things with him.
It is conceivable that this guy is actually very loyal to love, even if he had bad intentions when he met Daenerys later.
Of course, Daenerys' beauty also played a big role, otherwise this guy wouldn't have been shocked by Daenerys's beauty.
At first, the guy even wanted to get rid of Viserys and take Dani as his wife, but then he felt that Dani was too timid and shy, and he was afraid to be in danger of being with her.
Josh didn't know if he really thought about it, but Josh preferred to believe that it was the man's self-knowledge.
If he didn't have any self-knowledge, someone else would have done it a long time ago.
Between a beautiful woman and power, he chose an extremely cost-effective political investment.
"I hope this guy had better be like this, otherwise I'm afraid that the little devil will have no one to guide him in the future, right, whether this guy dies or not, the little devil will have no one to guide him." Why don't you ask Galendo to keep an eye on this guy or something? ”
In Josh's whimsical thoughts, they enter Illyrio's residence.
Speaking of which, their luck is quite good, because Illyrio happens to be at home, and if it were another time, I'm afraid Josh wouldn't have been so lucky.
"Dear lords, how are you? I'm Illyrio Mopatis of Pantos, please"
Illyrio wondered who was visiting him, but when he saw them, he felt a powerful sense of oppression!
Illyrio was terrified, he had never seen anyone with such a temperament!
However, Illyrio also managed to go from being an assassin who licked blood from the tip of a knife to where he is today, and it didn't take long for him to slowly recover.
Although he has recovered a lot, he is still unusually careful when he speaks, for fear of upsetting the people in front of him.
And he was also thinking about where these people came from, and just standing there made people feel a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts!
As for those women who were so beautiful that he thought they were goddesses, he didn't dare to think even the slightest thought, because he knew that if any of his thoughts were discovered, then he would be doomed!
When Illyrio was in a large number of Josh and others, Josh was naturally also in a large number of this person.
This is a big fat man, and he exudes some strange thoughts, which have something to do with the spice business he does, otherwise he wouldn't have such a smell on his body.
Of course, spices were only one of them, and he also traded in gems, keels and other shady trades.
He was obese, and he wore a gemstone ring on each of his fingers.
He has blonde hair, a greasy yellow split beard, and a mouthful of ragged yellow teeth, and to be honest, this guy doesn't feel that good for Josh.
But Josh didn't care so much, the so-called seven gods in this world are just like that in Josh's eyes, what can this ordinary person do?
Shaking his head, too lazy to think about the mess, Josh didn't mean to be polite to him at all, he was now going to make sure where Daenerys and her brother Viserys were.
"It doesn't matter who we are, and you should know one thing, and that is that the more you know, the faster you die."
"Yes, Yes, Your Excellency, but Your Excellency, this is Pantos, and I"
"You're the governor here, I know. But do you think those trash fish in your house can deal with us? ”
Josh smiled a little, and his smile seemed to make the air unusually cold!
In an instant, a strong frost appeared directly out of thin air, with a roar like a dragon, which directly made Illyrio's house freeze instantly, such a terrifying scene made Illyrio almost sit on the ground in fright!
But the guy gritted his teeth to make himself look less embarrassed, at least he knew that if he did sit down, then he probably had no room for negotiation at all.
Of course, he didn't know that no matter what he did, Josh wouldn't care, because this guy was just a miscellaneous fish.
Glancing at the completely frozen house and the soldiers running towards their guest position, Josh waved his hand casually.
In an instant, a cold snap invaded, and suddenly those soldiers who rushed over turned into ice sculptures one by one before they could figure out what the situation was!
"Winter isn't quite over yet, and if you're accidentally hit by a blizzard, then I don't think anyone will find it strange. Of course, even if someone thinks it's weird, it's fine, because for me, if you kill all the knowledge, no one knows, doesn't it? ”
"I see, Your Excellency, is there anything I can do for you?"
Illyrio stared blankly at the scene in front of him, and listened to Josh's narration tremblingly, and suddenly he didn't dare to have any thoughts!
The Seven Gods, what the is this monster? Controlling a blizzard at will? Is this really human?
It's not human at all! Could it be that the so-called seven gods are not just seven at all?
Of course, the so-called seven gods worshipped by the church are actually seven different forms of one god, representing seven different virtues.
Worshippers pray to one of the seven gods in a specific form according to what they are asking for.
Josh has shown no ability that a human being can have!
Even those so-called magicians, Illyrio had never seen anything so terrifying. At this moment, he learned wisely, but he remembered what Josh said: the more you know, the faster you die!
So this time he didn't even dare to ask his name, for fear that he would be killed by the so-called reason for knowing too much.
Fortunately, the young man in front of him didn't seem to have a good impression of him, but he didn't have to kill himself, which made Illyrio breathe a few sighs of relief.
"I ask you, where are the descendants of the Targaryens now?"
"Your Excellency, are you looking for that brother and sister?"
Hearing Josh's words, Illyrio suddenly felt a little stupid. He had probably guessed now that this terrible lord was looking for such a small person as himself, and it was really possible that he was a descendant of the Targaryens, otherwise how could a person like himself be targeted?
However, it was really reluctant to let him hand over the brother and sister Illyrio, because he also bet on the brother and sister.
Although he himself is not optimistic about this guy for Seris, but what if?
But Josh's words sent Illyrio's heart into the valley of ice, and he knew he really couldn't hesitate.
"You know, I know you've made a bet on them. Or some political investment, but I think you'd better not think too much about it, because there's a limit to my patience. ”
"I know Your Excellency, and I am willing to show you the way. But hopefully it's still too late, because that lady of Targaryen is now going to marry the chief of the Dothraki."
"Then hurry up, don't think I don't know this is your way, don't be smart."
"I understand, Your Excellency, I'll leave and take you there!"
