Chapter 0820 - Growing prestige
Mopatis Illyrio was happy today, but he kept his sanity and didn't get drunk.
After the dragon lord Aegon accepted the gift, he also generously distributed a part of the gift to officials at all levels.
Because of the reverence that the dragon lord Aegon held him, his prestige reached an unprecedented level in Pantos.
Everywhere he went, people paid homage to him.
The homeless people on the street knew the name of Pantos Mopatis Illyrio and knelt down on him and kissed the upper of his shoes.
The affairs of the virgin also went surprisingly smoothly, and a nobleman volunteered to give his daughter, and he was promoted on the spot by Illyrio to the rank of governor of foreign affairs, responsible for all foreign affairs.
The nobleman was willing to sacrifice his daughter, also out of adoration for Illyrio.
It was a great thing to be able to make the dragon lord Aegon give a great gift and come to Pantos with the humility of a junior.
The power of the Governor is like divine help.
It is the welfare of the people of Pantos that Pantos should rule such a high-profile and mysterious Viceroy.
After the news broke, in just half a day, the gates of Illyrio's mansion were filled with gifts spontaneously offered by the people, including weapons, cloth, wine, snacks, sculptures, rice, millet, and honey......
When the people had something, they gave it.
Illyrio also became a god-like being in the hearts of the warriors of the naval fleet and the city garrison.
Thanks to the Governor, they were able to avoid the danger of fighting the dragon lord Aegon.
The warriors didn't want to die!
They were all freemen with their own families, parents, wives, and children.
The news that the dragon lord Aegon will be visiting Pantos with his dragon and warship is also exciting for the people of Pantos, and some of the archons are already hoping to use their relationship and power with the dragon lord Aegon to fight the Sea King of Braavos and regain the power of the slave trade.
The next day, the people outside the city came to the town hall with their gifts and presented their embroidery, silk, and works of art to the governor Illyrio.
Outside the city of Pantos is a large plain area, with abundant rain, rivers and Valyrian Avenue running through the whole plain, convenient transportation, people raise silkworms, and silk fabrics sell well all over the world.
If the dragon lord Aegon calls, the people will be burned to the fire, and no one will be spared.
The populace was so grateful to Illyrio that officials proposed to build a giant statue in the plaza of the town hall for Illyrio. It was also suggested that Illyrio was the eternal governor of Pantos, and that the governorship was hereditary.
All kinds of bizarre proposals have also popped up strangely, some of them are spontaneous by the people, and some are deliberately fanned by people to seek their own interests in the chaos.
No matter how much the outside world disturbed, no matter how rapidly his majesty grew, Illyrio remained calm and humble.
He attended another lavish reception for himself, but remained undrunk and returned home before dark.
Since Aegon sent messengers to deliver generous gifts, Illyrio's home and Drogo Kao's palace, as well as several other houses, have been quiet, and there have been no more disappearances.
Illyrio was full of wine and food during the drinking party, and after returning home to take a bath, he went straight to the backyard, where he raised a dozen fresh and tender beauties, all of whom were Rhys's prostitutes sent by Aegon. All of them are virgins, and they haven't seen Beneki yet, but they were served by Aegon's soldiers at Reese's famous training school.
When the messenger arrived a few days ago, he sent a boatload of such well-trained Reese beauties to Illyrio, and Illyrio picked seventeen, and let the other governors divide the rest.
Illyrio enjoyed sitting cross-legged on a large recliner like a bed, surrounded by beautiful women in front and back, left and right, beating his legs and massaging, pouring tea and water. These women are all very talented, some sing well, some play the piano well, and some can dance and perform oriental dramas.
Illyrio looked at Will, his personal guard, to the sound of a harp.
"Will, in a few days, the Dragon Lord Aegon will come to Pantos, and Pantos will reach the strongest alliance with the Dragon Lord Aegon, what do you think about this matter?"
"I'm sorry, sir, I don't understand. ”
"You have a good temperament, and you must have had some unusual experiences. ”
"My lord, if you want to discuss political affairs, please call your administrative officer. ”
Illyrio chuckled, "Will, I was wrong. May I invite you to drink wine and eat meat?"
"Eat only meat, don't drink alcohol. ”
"And what about women? You can take any of them you like. If you don't understand, they can teach you on my chaise longue. ”
The women laughed and laughed, and the warblers and swallows were intoxicating.
"Sir, don't say anything like that to me again. Will said lightly.
"Yes, yes, I was wrong. But I know that the Faceless One does not reject women. ”
"My lord, if you insist on inviting me to eat meat, drink wine and have fun, if there is anything abnormal tonight, who will protect the safety of my lord?"
"After waiting for so many days, the other party has not moved. I don't know if they're scared of the dragon lord Aegon or if they're worried that I won't have the money to pay my debts. I'm happy today, so I'll make an exception and give you tonight's vacation. Whoever you fancied, take it away tonight. ”
"Yes, sir!"
Will knew that the old fox had never believed him.
This is very correct, people who have worked in intelligence agencies know that they are deceitful, and they are right not to trust anyone. Will didn't trust Illyrio either, or he wouldn't be here.
*
Illyrio fell asleep soundly again.
But he was woken up by the tingling in his ears.
He opened his eyes and saw two figures, no, four figures.
Standing at the head of his bed were two people, and at the doorway were two people.
The lights in the room have come on.
The beauties on the bed were gone.
He knew all four people in the room, all of whom were old friends.
Holding a thatch root in his hand and plucking out his ear was his old friend Varys.
Standing on the other end of the spectrum was Daenerys Targaryen.
Guarding the doors and windows were two slave gladiators: the dwarf and the bald head, whom he had paid for from the gladiatorial arena in the eastern city of Meereen.
Will, the guard he had spent a lot of money on, was not there tonight.
He asked Will to choose a beautiful woman to play with, but Will chose three at once, and they were all his favorite three.
That guy must be like Illyrio, tossing and turning enough tonight.
When beauty becomes a surplus resource around you, you will be frustrated, because you will find that your body is not good enough every time.
"Hi Varys. Hi Daenerys. Illyrio smiled kindly for the first time in a long time, "Can you please avoid it, I'll get dressed." ”
"We can turn our heads away. Varys smiled, but he didn't turn his head.
Daenerys didn't move.
Illyrio had to laugh dryly again: "Okay, I'll get dressed under the covers." He reached out and pressed it somewhere on the side of the bed, but the button didn't move.
"Don't play tricks, my old friend Illyrio, let's go outside and wait for you in the living room. Varys smiled and kissed Illyrio's chubby face.
