Trade between the two cities was most active in the city of Pantos, directly across the Narrow Sea from the port of King's Landing, and many other cities also tended to trade through the port of Pantos and the port of King's Landing.

Jaime Lannister followed the flow of people, silently approaching the target.

The target was next to the prince's palanquin, dressed in silk and satin, shining with splendid service, wearing precious jade pearls and agate on his ten fingers, and his neck was also covered with jewels. It was a wealthy and young aristocrat, with a long, straight beard dyed gold, dozens of small braids on the chin, and bells made of jewels hanging at the end of the braids.

It was a Governor of Pantos, one of many.

He was flanked by two tall, emotion-free guards, wearing the famous spiked helmet of the Unsullied, with a long bronze spike on the helmet and bronze armor.

A bronze spike, indicating that this is an Unsullied ordinary soldier.

The Unsullied were castrated slave warriors who were brutally trained in Astapor, absolutely obedient to their masters and fearless in battle, and were the guards of numerous governors, princes, nobles, and knights in the free trade city-states. They sell at least a hundred, never rob, are disciplined, and certainly don't rape any other mercenary.

Jaime Lannister wasn't worried about how to get rid of the two Unsullied after a one-hit kill, as they would never give up chasing Jaime unless they had already been killed.

This is a little tricky, and anyone will find it a little tricky when they encounter the Unsullied guards, as they are not afraid of death, are absolutely loyal, and are proficient in spearmanship and sword and shield.

But as long as they can't find people, even the most elite loyalty will have nowhere to put it.

Jaime was sure that he could easily hide in the crowd of people, like a fish hiding in the water.

Jaime looked at the Prince in the middle of the procession, who sat on a palanquin made of ivory and gold, a wretched creature who would be executed at the end of the parade and sacrificed to the god of the harvest, whom Jaime had spurned. Then another unlucky ghost will be produced among the forty dignitaries of Pantos, after a so-called fair election.

In Pantos, the prince was only the presiding officer of various grand festive ceremonies, presiding only over meetings and festive banquets. An empty official rank without any real power. Perhaps the only good thing is that every year on New Year's Day, the virgins of the land and the sea will be sacrificed**, but when the war is defeated or the grain harvest fails, or the trade business declines, and natural disasters strike, the prince will be paraded through the streets to pray to the gods, and his throat will be slit by the dear people in the square.

A smile appeared on Jaime's face hidden in his hood, he had learned the faceless secret of Braavos's facelessness, but in his heart, he did not agree with the god of a thousand faces and death, God is God, how can he have time to pay attention to a mere mortal, mortals always regard God as the only one, it is just wishful thinking.

Like the sun's rays, shining down, whether you are a beggar or a prince, the sun shines like the sun, in Jaime's understanding, God's will is like the sun's rays. He was not obsessed with superstition about the Thousand Faces God, but he still learned the dark and mysterious transfiguration technique. - When the sun shines down, you will never open one eye to see if you are a beggar or a prince, a thief or a hero. Sunlight does not distinguish, it is the mortals themselves who make the difference.

For example, the earth-faced Prince Pantos, who now sits on a palanquin of gold and ivory, is the unfortunate one who has been distinguished by mortals in the name of God.

With a little push, Jaime squeezed behind the target, separated only by two squires. The governor's squire was not the Unsullied, and attacking from behind was the best position. Jaime unstraps his sword, causing the narrow sword to slide and fall to the ground. The crowd is getting more and more crowded, and when you get your hands on it, the narrow sword hanging from your waist is a burden, and killing a governor in the street is best done with a throwing knife and blowing arrows, but Jaime likes the feeling of a close-quarters sword piercing into flesh, and moreover, it's more exciting.

He had learned all sorts of assassination techniques, poison, disguise, and stealth, but he still chose the most dangerous, clumsy, but thrilling one, even though the Doge had two unscrupulous soldiers by his side who were absolutely fearless and would pursue them to the death.

Jaime is a Lannister, he is a lion, the lion is the king of beasts, and the lion is fearless.

As soon as Jaime moved, his elbow popped out, and the short, sharp steel spikes slid down his hand like a finger as thin as a needle, as if a finger had grown out.

"Hey!" Jaime patted the Governor's squire on the shoulder affectionately, and the squire turned and glared at him, only to see the face of a delicate girl under the hood smiling at him, and the squire's anger disappeared at once, and the beautiful girl's face was still as light as snow though the hood was hidden.

The girl's slender fingers pointed forward, her delicate red lips moved forward, the attendant turned back, the girl's hand pressed on his shoulder, and the man flew up like a big bird, and the man landed lightly on the governor's horse, and the steel thorn in his hand flashed into the back of the young governor's neck. His other hand wrapped his arms around the Governor's waist, and his red lips kissed lightly on the Governor's face, leaving a lip print, and by the time the Unsullied on either side noticed that something was wrong, the girl had already flown off her horse and squeezed into the raging crowd......

Everything is like a dream, like lightning, like an illusory shadow swaying in the shadow of the fire—dreamy but not real...... But the young governor began to stagger, his throat gurgling, and black blood came out of his mouth......

The marching crowd roared gongs and drums, and the songs of the nuns and monks in front of the prince's palanquin were still beautiful and resounding in the sky.

"Catch him, Grey Man!" a man's voice with a Westeros accent shouted in lingua franca, "There are Assassins, Assassins have killed Governor Barnett. ”

Jaime, who is easy to form a woman, is like a floating leaf in the rolling stream of people, and the leaf swirls in the current and disappears completely.

The young and wealthy Governor Barnett fell from his horse, blood gushing out of his mouth and nose, one of the Unsullied jumped off his horse and held his master with his arms outstretched, and the other Unsullied drew his short knife, raised his shield, and stood on horseback very calmly searching for the murderer, the Governor's attendants cried out in amazement, and the ranks began to disorganize.

There were many governors of Pantos, and for the sake of balance of power, more than twenty governors were elected by forty noble families who controlled the city of Pantos, and today, the Prince of Pantos was sacrificed to the god of harvest, and all the governors accompanied him in front of the prince's palanquin, all of them, including the Viceroy of Illyrio Mopatis, a close friend of Varys, the intelligence chief on the other side of the Narrow Sea.

When Varys was the leader of the Nine Free Trade City-States of the Narrow Sea, Illyrio Mopatis was a top killer. The thief boss and the killer formed an alliance, one stealing information, the other peddling information, and soon made a fortune.

Illyrio Mopatis washed his hands of money after making a fortune and started a trading business in Pantos, he had Varys's intelligence system to add color to his trading business, and soon became a super-rich man in Pantos, donating money to build bridges and roads to build glorious temples for monks and gods, and naturally became a respected celebrity in Pantos, and naturally ran to become a governor of Pantos.

And Varys, because of his excellent intelligence ability, crossed the Narrow Sea and became the head of intelligence of the mad king Aerys Targaryen, and since then he has finally found a suitable and justified position.

Governor Barnett was killed by the Assassins, and when news spread, the Governors were shocked and the ranks were thrown into disarray. In the midst of the chaos, a woman's voice became clearer and more beautiful: "Sir Jorah Mormont, don't chase the assassins, protect Viserys." ”

A gruff voice seemed to curse: "I'll protect myself, Daenerys, my sword is not vegetarian." ”

"Don't be confused, let's go to Harvest Square right away, and after the worship ceremony, we will find out the truth and catch the assassin and the real culprit behind the scenes. "A very fat fellow, with a jeweled ring on every finger, rode on his horse and shouted, his voice full of majesty. He had a very exaggerated oily yellow forked beard and a large ragged yellow tooth, all of which were perhaps pure gold.

This fat but highly respected governor is the famous Illyrio Mopatis. Beside him, a circle of Unsullied protected him, Daenerys, and Viserys, unsheathed with their swords and shields, staring indifferently at the noisy crowd around them.

Not far from the crowd, Jaime regained his manhood, his hood covering his face, and his gaze fell on Jorah Mormont's.

Jaime Lannister knew Jorah Mormont and was very impressed.

Jorah was the second hero to storm the city walls during the Greyjoy Rebellion, the first being the red-robed monk Soros. Later, King Robert held a jousting tournament in Lannisport to celebrate the conquest of the Iron Islands rebellion. There, Jorah meets Lyneth Hightower, and in order to attract Lyneth Hightower's attention, Jorah wins one nearly impossible match after another and eventually wins the championship before being crowned Queen of Love and Beauty.

It was that jousting tournament that made a deep impression on Jaime Lannister.

Jaime looked not far behind Jorah Mormont, where there was a girl who looked almost exactly as beautiful as Lynnice Hightower...... It's funny because Jaime hears a completely different name: Daenerys Targaryen.
