"It's long since stopped." It was Melisandre who answered her, who was in charge of the bits and pieces, "I stopped the deal last month because I didn't see any use for it. ”

Stannis frowned, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "Any news from that wizard?" ”

Melisandre stopped talking, she had been at the Wall some time ago, and when she returned to Stannis's side, she learned from the servants that a very powerful wizard had appeared in King's Landing.

However, if Melisandre is more homely, Davos's information is very comprehensive, "He is still in Meereen, probably the girl who defected to the Targaryens. ”

"However, the relationship between the two is strange, and even the Faceless One can't figure it out, but he demolished Meereen's Daznak Arena and built a huge strange-looking structure on the site of the arena."

"He's been in there all the time, rarely comes out, usually only Meereen's city guards are responsible for transporting some prisoners to it, no one else can get close there, not even the Faceless One, it's been half a month since he last appeared in Meereen, and he's been in that building all this time."

Davos's intelligence was all purchased from the Faceless, and after obtaining a large sum of money in the Iron Vault, although he did not call up the army, at least the funds for intelligence were not a problem.

"No more news?" Stannis was not satisfied, and continued to ask.

"Uh......" Davos began to recall, Essos was not their main battlefield, the throne of Westeros was called the real throne, and Essos was just a group of natives, which was the view of most people in Westeros of Essos. It is also what most of the Essos think of Westeros.

If it weren't for the trade relations of the iron vault, there would still be a lot of fun. Davos would not care about the eastern city of Essos at all. "I heard that he developed a special spice that was very popular among the major trading city-states of Essos, and that he earned a lot of gold." Davos finally remembered, and he said, sorting out the information the Faceless One had given him.

But Stannis's brow was still tightly locked, "No news on any special creatures from Meereen?" ”

He obviously remembered the original intention of his discussion with Yi Huan, a monster transformed from the human body, a powerful existence far beyond the human army, which was the main reason why he agreed to cooperate with Yi Huan. It is also a reason to squeeze out some prisoners of war and the old, weak, sick and disabled from the already small number of people.

"Uh...... No. Davos obviously knew this, after all, he had also gone to meet with Stannis in the first place, and he was also very impressed by these things, "but there is a very precious mirror in Essos, which seems to have been passed down from Meereen. ”

Stannis waved his hand, stopping Davos's useless news, apparently not caring about how to earn gold, but more concerned with the army in hand.

"So...... We've only sent a boatload of men......" Stannis seemed to be talking to himself, and Davos and Melisandre stood silently, ready to listen to their king's plans.

After thinking about it for a while. Stannis looked up, "People still have to give it to him." Prepare a boatload of people to send it over, and it will be regarded as making up for some time ago. ”

Stannis can give orders with a wave of his hand, but Melisandre who carries out the order is in trouble, so she doesn't agree with Stannis's idea, "We don't need to give him a boatload of men, many wizards are liars, especially Essos, and a liar will not threaten us in Essos, let alone worry about his threat in the first place." ”

Melisandre had already figured out what had happened and knew what the threat was to Stannis, but she thought it was a liar, after all, there were very few real wizards in the world of ice and fire, how could one suddenly appear.

"No, do as I say." Stannis shook his head, "He's not a liar, I've seen his magic with Davos. He stopped Melisandre from trying to speak, "That's not a trick, I'll know if it's a trick." ”

"And...... Even if he is a liar, we will only pay the price of a boatload of people per month, and if he is a liar, we can naturally wait for me to sit on the Iron Throne and settle accounts with him. ”

"But if he's not...... Then we can get a strong army, and if we reject him, not only will we lose an army, but we will also lose faith in a powerful wizard, and it will not be worth the loss, so I choose to believe it. ”

Stannis used to be the right and left hand of the old King Robert, and it can even be said that the whole country was only organized under his and Erin's governance, so he was naturally very aware of the exchange of some interests, and after he became the king, he was even more cautious in everything.

"But...... We don't have manpower, we are already short of people, how can we squeeze out two boatloads of people. However, Melisandre did not give up, so she changed the reason, and asked Stannis to dismiss the idea due to the shortage of manpower.

However, anyone who becomes a king, especially a king in troubled times, has some more or less arbitrary ability, otherwise it is difficult to stand on his feet, whether it is a right or wrong decision, at least he will not be shaken lightly, and the same is true for Stannis, after it is determined, he will not change his mind lightly.

"No, do as I say." Stannis said again, he was still very good-tempered with Melisandre, and he might not be so easy to talk to if he was another person, but he was not at all angry at Melisandre for missing the dragon's prophecy, "But you also said that we are short of manpower, so the problem of these two boats of men will be left to you." ”

"People must send it over, and I'm sure you'll solve it."

Melisandre's face was still very calm, with a cold expression, but Davos and Stannis were the two people who had the most contact with Melisandre, and knew a lot of Melisandre's little habits that ordinary people didn't know.

For example, from Stannis's point of view, Davos could see that Melisandre was grinding a small silver tooth, but she couldn't keep a sound, because Stannis was not only a king, but also the reincarnation of the hero Ahai.

But Davos thought that Melisandre must have wanted to bite Stannis, and perhaps she was wondering how to take a bite.

It's hard to say if Melisandre would have mixed something special into the two boatloads for the wizards of King's Landing as a greeting gift, but in the south where Stannis is located, King's Landing, where winter is not completely enveloped, is facing a very different situation from the shortage of manpower here, there are too many people in King's Landing, especially if there are a few more...... People of unknown origin. (To be continued......)
