(It's late, sorry!)

From Valantis to Pantos, first to Mill, then by boat from Mill, walk hundreds of miles by sea, and you will arrive at Pentos. *With* Dream *Small* Say .lā

The city of Pantos is the closest free trade city-state to King's Landing, and the two cities are separated by a narrow sea.

But Will and Daenerys didn't go by land, or by sea, but by air.

They rode a griffon that Will had hidden in the primeval forest.

City of Pantos.

The festive atmosphere is getting stronger.

The annual festival of choosing a virgin for the prince to sacrifice to the sea, the sky and the earth is coming.

Guards have also been strengthened at the four city gates.

Ever since the city of Pantos was killed by Governor Illyrio with the help of Drogo Kao and the political system changed, Illyrio has become the true ruler of Pantos.

Lately, however, he's been feeling uneasy.

Drogo Kao owns the tallest stone tower palace in the city in Pantos, as well as several castles. In normal times, these places are managed by Illyrio.

The cause of the incident began with the disappearance of a maid in the palace of the Stone Tower.

It would have been a trifle.

Although Pentos was nominally forced to free slavery under pressure from the city of Braavos, in fact the servants and maids were real slaves, but in a different way to maintain peace with the city of Braavos.

The former slave market has long since closed and turned into a free trade market, but you can go into any shop and buy your favorite servants, workers, women, or samurai.

This is the slave market in disguise.

Change the soup without changing the medicine!

So the most likely possibility that a handmaiden has gone missing is that a slave has escaped.

For a governor in charge of the city of Pantos, running away from ten slave maids has no effect on him, and he can replenish anyone who is lacking at any time.

The problem was that the next night, two horses in the stables were also missing, along with their owners: two slave soldiers patrolling the streets near the palace.

This alarmed Illyrio.

Because of the recent selection of virgins in the city to sacrifice to the sky, the sea and the earth, the four gates of the city have been under martial law, and the thousands of garrisons of the city are all Illyrio's henchmen, and they have not found anyone riding out of the city at night.

Illyrio orders a secret investigation!

Illyrio started out as a mercenary and made a fortune by teaming up with Varys to establish a secret intelligence organization, Little Mouse. Spying on intelligence and discovering secrets is his forte. However, after his order was issued, there was still no news of the missing men and horses, and the palace and stone tower of Drogo Kao, which he was in charge of, continued to disappear every night.

This was very disturbing to Illyrio.

As a person who secretly controls the little mouse, an underground secret intelligence organization, he can't find the secret of what happened around him.

This is something that must not happen, but in fact, inside his own red stone castle, people are also starting to go missing.

In just a few days, the trend of this situation has not weakened, but only strengthened.

Illyrio is a man with a lot of secrets, and he also started by selling other people's secrets, but in his own heavily guarded red stone castle, slaves began to disappear.

There is no doubt that someone is eyeing him.

But the problem is that in the nine free trade city-states of Pantos, in Mill, in Telosi, in Braavos, in Reese, in Valantis, in Cohor, in Norvers, and in Rollas, it is his little rats who are active. Even in the cities far to the east, there are his little birds flying, and where something is going on, to find out whose bottom is to be checked, no one can be stronger than Illyrio.

Illyrio thought about it and thought of one person: Varys.

When it comes to the establishment and management of intelligence organizations, the cultivation of little birds, Varys is above him.

After Varys went to the other side of the Narrow Sea to become the intelligence director of Elise Targaryen, the management and operation of these little mice and birds were in his hands, but the real master was Varys.

When the two of them worked together, Varys was in charge of digging up the information, and Illyrio was in charge of selling it. So the establishment and control of the real intelligence system is still Varys.

Ever since Varys returned from his escape from King's Landing Red Keep, Varys has teamed up with him once again to run the game of giant little mice and birds.

However, if it was Varys, there was no reason for him to do so.

Since Drogo Kao was poisoned and Varys was forced to flee for his life away from Daenerys, the connection between Illyrio and Varys has only been interrupted for half a month, which is very short.

Assuming it wasn't Varys, then there was only one possibility left for someone who could have made his people disappear without knowing it: the Faceless Ones of Braavos' Black and White House.

Pantos and the Sea King of Braavos signed the abolition of slavery, although it was a violation of yin and yang, but for so many years, the Sea King also turned a blind eye and did not start a war, could it be that the Sea King hired the Faceless One to deliberately force him to correct the Pantos's maid trading market? In Braavos, in addition to the Faceless One, there are also Wind Spirits. Wind spirits only kill people directly, and people like this method of destroying corpses and destroying traces are in line with the style of the faceless ones.

At the front and back doors of Illyrio's castle, four new Peerless Squad Leaders wearing bronze helmets have been added. Inside and outside the courtyard, the guards with swords patrolled everywhere in circles, as if facing a great enemy.

Still, Illyrio had a feeling that danger was close to him, and it was getting stronger.

But he had to get into the carriage early this morning and go to the town hall to discuss the matter: he was in charge of the matter of choosing a virgin to sacrifice to the gods.

In order to pay homage to the gods, virgins had to be chosen from among the noble noble families of the city, which is why the city was under martial law day and night, and some young unmarried women of the nobility could not slip out of the city gates.

Every year when this season comes, it is the time when the nobles of the city of Pantos marry the most often.

But no matter how these nobles toss, the pure virgins who should be selected still have to be selected from these families.

Varys had a shadow in his heart before he left the door, and he breathed a sigh of relief as his carriage drove him down the street, and he felt relaxed about escaping from his cage.

In front of and on the left and right of the carriage, there were his guards, mainly from the Unsullied of Astapor.

The Unsullied have no fear, do not fear, and are Illyrio's favorite Guardian of the Dead.

Illyrio hadn't asked his captain of the guard if he had found a decrease in the number of missing people after counting the number of people this morning, and he decided not to ask, in order to relieve his psychological pressure of hearing bad news every morning.

The carriage was luxurious, wide and comfortable, sleeping and reclining, and there was wine and food in the carriage, and looking at Illyrio's size, you knew that he could not do without food at any time.

With the slight swaying of the carriage, Illyrio's hand reached for the bag of snacks, and he took them out to his lips, and then he saw a few words engraved on them: Lord Illyrio, I have taken the money.

The hot snacks were freshly baked, and they were just baked by the maid before getting on the carriage and put in the carriage.
