Chapter 0792: Confusion
Although Aegon thinks he can judge and make decisions, he respectfully confronts the nun, the duck, the killer, and the half-master. When Aegon found out that his identity was revealed, the people around him didn't seem to realize that he should be different from before, and they still regarded him as a little griff, which was where Aegon felt that he needed to correct them.
He is the king, and in the sea encounters, he won a great victory because of him and his dragons. The refugees who are willing to follow their Miss back to Valantis are also because he and his dragon are invincible.
Aegon realized that the nun and the others had not yet understood their location.
Aegon and his ministers returned to the ship. He showed humility. This is the result of the long teaching of the nun and old Griff that he has the upbringing and demeanor of a prince.
In Aegon's eyes, Lemore has always regarded herself as Aegon's mentor, and she, like old Griff, is self-righteous and does not give Aegon any autonomy, which is extremely wrong, because Aegon is the king.
"Illyrio, the governor of Pantos, is a close friend of ours, and he has supported our cause for more than a decade, can we trust Illyrio? He is a cautious man, why did he suddenly reveal in front of Nessiso that little Griff had concealed his identity for more than ten years?" said Sister Lemore.
"Maybe it's because he doesn't think there's any need to hide it anymore. The duck said.
"But we don't have our own legions around us. Hagel, a half-bachelor, said.
"The first legion will come from Valantis, and the Archon of the Elephant Party Nessiso is willing to provide us with the legion. The killer said.
"And what are we here for?" said Sister Lemore, "and don't forget, we're here for Daenerys Targaryen." Valenster, on the other hand, was at war with the Dothraki. In the previous few encounters we had in the seas, it was the fleet of the defeated Valantis who fled to Reese. ”
"Can the Valentines defeat the Dothraki?" said Hagel, the half-master, "apparently not. But what happens if we join and Valentis suddenly has a three-headed dragon?"
"They want to unite with us to defeat the Dothraki? I think they want to negotiate peace through us. Daenerys is a slave liberator, she is a Targaryen, and our Aegon is also a Targaryen. Nexiso couldn't possibly let our dragons attack Daenerys. ”
Little Aegon watched his ministers discuss, and unfortunately, no one consulted him.
He suddenly found such a meeting boring.
But he couldn't do without such help now, so he had to sit obediently and watch these stupid guys discuss the situation.
"They kept treating me like an ignorant little griff. Aegon thought, "Why do they think I'm not grown up? Look at who these guys are around me? stupid." If you want to know what Nessiso is going to do, and if you want to know what the two sides of Valantis are fighting on, you can only find out if you go to Valantis. Illyrio is someone you can trust, and without him, I wouldn't be where I am and the idiots around me that I am now. Illyrio believes in Nessiso, what do we have to guard against. ”
Aegon managed to listen, and finally, the nun, the duck, the killer, and the half-math came to an agreement, and they decided to go to Valantis to meet Nessisso.
"It's long overdue, these idiots have been discussing such a trivial matter for a long time. Aegon looked down on the people around him, and thought contemptuously, "Except for old Griff, these people are fools. Happily, however, old Griff died of Grey Scale, and everything was on the right side. With the dragon, there was no need to fight, and Nessiso of Valantis came to submit. Think about how four hundred years ago, the entire continent of Essos was the domain of the Valyrians because they had dragons. The ancestors of Nesiso must have been Valyrians as well. ”
So they went out of the cabin to meet Nessisso's messenger, and after half an hour the new fleet set out for Valantis.
*
Valantis is divided into two cities, east and west, the eastern part of which is inhabited by commoners and slaves, slave trading markets, craftsmen, and foreign traders, and the western part of the city is tall and majestic, protected by the famous black wall. The Black Wall is high and wide, built by the Valyrians who conquered Valantis four hundred years ago. The east and west cities are connected by a bridge under which Valantis' famous Lorne River is located. The Lorne River divides the city of Valantis in two.
As the Mademoiselle drew closer to the city's port, they saw that the city to the east had turned into a sea of fire, while the city to the west where the nobles lived was not in turmoil, and the walls were lined with banners and soldiers.
"Your Majesty, the port is in our hands, and the port chaos is over. Messenger Thomas said.
Aegon saw four warships on the surface of the harbor, but close to the shore, countless broken ships and floating planks. There were fierce battles in the port.
"Who burned so many ships?" Aegon asked Thomas.
"Dothraki, Your Majesty. ”
The deferential Thomas made Aegon feel good, and if it weren't for Sister Lemore by his side, he would have wanted to take Thomas as his squire.
"I heard that Drogo Kao and Valantis reached a peace agreement. Aegon said.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but Drogo Kao has been poisoned, and his fate is unknown. He was sent to the Red Temple by Daenerys Targaryen. Thomas said with a humble expression.
"Oh!" Aegon was shocked, and he looked at Sister Lemore, "Lady Lemore, I didn't know about this all along?"
"We don't know, Your Majesty. Sister Lemore replied.
But Aegon was skeptical.
These people are used to blocking all information from him, and many things are understood by everyone, but he alone does not know.
"And then?" Aegon asked nonchalantly. Actually, he cares about that.
"After the poisoning of Drogo Kao, there was a civil strife among his cowards, and several cowards established themselves as Kao, and suddenly raised an army to attack Valantis, and they failed to break through the black wall, so they bloodied the eastern city and the port, causing the death of a large number of civilians and slaves in the eastern city, and the port fleet suffered heavy losses. ”
The Mademoiselle led the fleet into the harbor, but all the ships could not dock because of the blockage of the wrecked battleships.
From a distance, Aegon saw a lot of red-robed troops on the shore of the harbor, but there were not many strict formations. The red-robed army was mixed with teams of fierce cavalry, and their expressions looked like Dothraki.
"What kind of army is on the shore?
"No, it's the Red Temple's Hand of Fire and Kalihy's (Daenerys) Cass.
Chapter 0792 2 Puzzle
The Elephant Archon Nessiso's castle was more magnificent than Aegon VI could have imagined.
Although Aegon is a prince, he has lived a hard life since he was a child, and he met old Griff, who is happy to endure hardships, and his life is even more impoverished. With the help of Illyrio, the governor of Pantos, they could have lived an ordinary life, but old Greve was harsh on Aegon in order to hone his will, to understand the suffering of ordinary people, and hoped that he would be an enlightened and merciful king in the future, and Aegon had been living a very poor life for more than ten years.
When he entered Nesiso's castle, he was amazed by the elephant army sculptures in the courtyard. The elephant army sculptures standing opposite each other are several feet high, making people can only look up. The sculptures are not one, but in two rows, from the gate to the front of the hall, giving people an extremely majestic sense of oppression. The sculpture is several times taller than a real elephant, and the details are beautifully carved, which at first glance looks like it came from the hands of famous artists.
The surface of the sculpture is all plated with gold, which looks golden and luxurious.
In the elephant sculpture garden, there are many other exquisite and luxurious items, rockery gardens, fountain pools, interlocking, woods, and paths. Aegon couldn't see how big the courtyard really was.
Led by the messenger, the group passed through this ingenious courtyard and entered the main fort.
The main fort was full of corridors and rooms, and a man hurried out of the house, wearing a golden robe, and he was none other than the owner of the house: Nesiso Visama.
After greeting each other, Nessie said sorry and went into the room. Aegon and the others were suspicious, Nessiso came out again, the jade belt and gold robe were gone, and they were replaced by simple ordinary clothes, compared with Aegon and the others, they no longer had a luxurious and noble atmosphere.
This detail made Aegon Targaryen feel more favorable to Nessiso and less wary. Sure enough, he is a close friend of Governor Illyrio, who is empathetic and knows the identity of Prince Aegon.
However, Sister Lemore was wary of Nessisso's sleek worldliness, this kind of person was too capable of seeing opportunities, and he would never blow up when dealing with him.
"My lord, you have invited our prince to come here, what are your motions, we are worried in our hearts, please make it clear. Mrs. Lemore said.
"Madam, you must have heard a lot of rumors all the way east. We Valantisbon and Drogo Kao made a peace agreement, but Drogo Kao was poisoned by Vaerys, the eunuch next to Daenerys, causing Drogo Kao to be poisoned and unconscious. A few of Kao's coles took the opportunity to rebel, some of them left with their troops, and some of them set themselves up as new Kao, they launched a rebellion, and attacked Valantis and Daenerys's Kas tribe when we were unprepared, and then several self-reliant Kao fought with each other, and finally we united Daenerys's Kas legion, and the flame hand of Archpriest Benro in the Red Temple, killed them back, and only then did we protect the western city of Valantis. ”
This statement is very informative.
The first is that Varys poisoned Drogo Kao, but Drogo Kao did not die, but only fainted.
The second was when the Dothraki attacked Valantis, and a civil war ensued after several Kou established themselves as Kao.
The third is Daenerys and the Hand of Flame, plus the army of Valantis, together drove out Kao in the civil war and kept the western city of Valantis.
The crowd was silent when they heard Nessisso's words.
The words that I heard from Nessiso's mouth with my own ears were completely different from what I heard by hearsay.
Aegon is concerned about the strength of Daenerys Targaryen's Cass Legion, Daenerys is his aunt, his father's own sister, they are a family, Daenerys's strength is the personal strength of the royalist army, and it is the most trustworthy.
However, the focus of Sister Lemore and others is not on Daenerys' strength, but on Varys's poisoning of Drogo Kao.
"Lord Nessiso, you were recommended to us by the Governor of Illyrio, and we should not have doubted you, but we could not believe you when you said that Varys had poisoned Drogo Kao. The nun said in an affirmative tone.
"Ma'am, this is true, Daenerys has found out the truth, Drogo Kao was poisoned after using Varys's anti-inflammatory ointment, and Varys has absconded in fear. ”
The nun, the duck, the half-bachelor, and the killer looked at each other, and after they exchanged glances, they were all silent.
They all believe that Varys is innocent.
Aegon Targaryen's life was saved by Varys in the Red Keep Rebellion, Jon Clinton changed his name to Griff, lived in seclusion in Reese's civilian city, secretly raised Aegon as an adult, and spread rumors that Jon Clinton fell drunk into the Reess Sea and died, all of which were Varys' ideas.
With the fall of the Targaryen dynasty and the reign of Robert Baratheon, Varys is firmly in the position of director of intelligence, and is still fully supporting the Targaryens.
Marrying Daenerys to the Horse King Drogo Kao, in order to obtain Drogo Kao's cavalry strength, cross the Narrow Sea to attack the continent of Westeros, and regain the Iron Throne, these plans were planned by Varys and Illyrio together.
How could such a person poison Drogo Kao?
He didn't have any motives.
"Lord Nessiso, the plan to trick Drogo Kao into leading an army to Ris Island to reclaim the dragon was devised by Varys. The nun said.
"Daenerys Targaryen now knows that the dragon is in Prince Aegon's hands, and she already knows the identity of the dragon's owner. Nessiso said.
The nun and the others were all moved.
This is another piece of information that exceeds their expectations.
The situation seemed to be a little out of control, and Sister Lemore felt as if someone was secretly pushing behind this series of events, and they were all in the center of power, but they couldn't see the black hand behind the scenes.
Sister Lemore misses one person very much at this time: Jon Clinton. As long as he is there, he will definitely see where the problem lies in these things.
Prince Aegon said, "Lord Nessisso, my aunt already knows about me and my dragon?"
"Yes, Mistress Illyrio has told her the truth. Her lost dragon eggs were purchased by Jon Clinton at a high price in Reese City, and the dragon hatched. He wanted Daenerys and Prince Aegon to meet up in Valantis, then join forces and cross the Narrow Sea to claim the Iron Throne. ”
"How many troops do we have now?" said Hagel, a half-master, lightly. He'd been watching Nessiso with a cold eye.
Things changed so quickly that he told himself not to trust Nessiso and not to trust Illyrio. These people are all merchants, and the person they invested in is Prince Aegon, and the businessman only cares about his own interests.
