Chapter 379: The Beginning of Meereen (2)

Barristan and Dario glanced at each other, exchanged a look without moving, and at the same time they shifted their palms to the weapon at their waists, secretly on guard.

The wizard had threatened Daenerys, which Barristan knew, and Dario also learned about it from Barristan, who was also a wizard, and wizards were extremely good at deceiving people.

Barristan left King's Landing earlier, before the execution of Grand Duke Stark, so not much is known about the series of wars and coups that took place in King's Landing, after all, during this year, the transmission of news was not so fast, not to mention that there was a strait between the two continents.

Although the leader of the Unsullied, the Grey Bug, does not know the secrets, the Unsullied are tasked with protecting Daenerys, and his status as a native of Essos has led him to hear many stories about the fickleness and cruelty of wizards since he was a child.

The change in the atmosphere present was keenly noticed by the gray bug, and the spear in his hand was clenched, if Daenerys gave an order or was arrogant and acted wrongly, I believe that he could still do it with a leap of the spear into the heart of this wizard.

The beautiful queen on the high platform was naturally aware of this, and Daenerys responded with silence as she looked at the wizard from King's Landing.

Daenerys is not stupid, and although she is immature in many ways, she is a very good learner, and the wizard has calculated her once, and she certainly won't be stupid enough to be deceived a second time.

So regardless of whether the wizard in front of her had malicious intentions or not, Daenerys didn't think she needed to accept his help, and the wizard's deception was one thing. On the other hand. Her first task should be to balance the relationship between the good master and the slave in Meereen. And not to build an army.

In terms of force, Daenerys has the Legion of the Unsullied, as well as Dario's second son, and the three-headed brutal True Dragon, so compared to Daenerys, the significance of the army is even less important than that of the ship, and now what she needs most is not the army, but the connections. commerce, as well as gold and grain.

Seeing that his queen had already answered, Barristan, who had been a Kingsguard, knew what to do at this time, so he stepped forward, stood in front of Daenerys diagonally, and said to Yi Huan in an appropriate voice, "We don't need your help, wizard, you are not welcome here." ”

Although as a Kingsguard, you shouldn't meddle in politics, this is not Westeros. And the remaining three people, one is a maid. One is the gray worm who commands and leads the troops, and as for the rest of the person, it is the real reason why Barristan came forward, Dario, who is born with a proud expression, and his ability to do bad things is not ordinary.

Yi Huan twitched his eyelids slightly, and his calm expression finally changed a little, and he looked up at Daenerys on the throne of the high platform in the main hall, her blue eyes stared at him motionlessly, like two clear crystals, obviously this is what she meant.

After turning a lot of thoughts in his heart, Yi Huan quickly understood the original intention of Daenerys's approach, as well as the predicament that Meereen might be facing now, after reading most of the books in the library, his mind was still very agile, but after entering the world created by the combination of consciousness, he had been faced with supernatural situations and conspiracy shrouded in fog, and it was useless.

Putting his hands where they could see them, Yi Huan slowly stepped forward and stepped on the high staircase leading to Daenerys, "First of all, to be clear, I have no ill intentions, and I am a wizard, unlike wizards, and those wizards are not my companions, maybe I will trouble them again in the future." ”

Yi Huan's action made everyone present vigilant, and in an instant, all the guards in the hall had their spears tilted, and their shields were erected in front of them and bowed in front of them, as if they were ready for battle.

The same is true of the gray bug, he stood beside Daenerys, although there was no excessive movement, but the tense muscles of his whole body were ready, Dario slowly walked out from behind Barristan, his left hand on the scimitar, but he had not yet withdrawn it.

Similarly, Winnie, who had been looking around in a daze with her head sideways, also reacted, her wrist flicked, and the silver long sword overflowed like mercury, and in a moment it was already hanging on her waist, and she was about to pull it out with her backhand, but Yi Huan quickly pressed back the long sword that had been drawn out in half.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous." Yi Huan smiled and glanced at the hall where the atmosphere was still solemn, "Then I'll make a long story short, Daenerys born of the storm, you need an army, not only for Meereen's current loss of order, but Westeros also needs you to have an army." ”

"I understand the current situation in Meereen, the opposition between the good master and the slave is becoming more and more strict, and the slaves who have lost their restraint cannot obey the law well, they will only blindly obey you, but in a sense, it is also a disguised control of you, so that you only think about their survival."

Daenerys's blue eyes flickered slightly, obviously Yi Huan said the point, but the other party said one thing wrong, that is, he would only obey justice and fairness, and would not take sides.

"I know what you're thinking." But unexpectedly, Yi Huan continued, "Of course you can obey the justice and fairness in your heart, but once you do something that makes the slave dissatisfied, although it will not immediately cause Meereen's riot, but the consequences will not be much better, hatred is always easier than favor, and it must be uncomfortable to be sandwiched between the good master and the slave." ”

"Let's not talk about that." Before Daenerys could react, Yi Huan continued, walking as he spoke, "Meereen's biggest problem is not the good master and the slave, but because you have suppressed the good master and caused a series of stops in the flow of commerce. ”

"The slave trade is Meereen's biggest trade on the one hand, on the other hand, most of the good owners of Essos have their own sources of goods and sales, after all, there are only so many kinds of goods, only acquaintances can do business, and it is better to sell them by means such as price reduction, but the supply of goods is not so easy."

"There are fewer and fewer merchant ships anchored in the harbor, many people are gone, and the flow of gold coins is decreasing, which means that your income is decreasing, if you continue like this, then soon you and your Unsullied will be trapped and killed in Meereen, I believe you don't like to go out and plunder, Carisi."

Daenerys's expression had become focused, and her gaze had softened, although this ridicule seemed to make her secretly unhappy, but she had to admit that what the other party said was very accurate, and it was still something that she and Dario and the others had studied for a long time to figure out.

In fact, these things are not difficult to understand for the future generations and the earth, but it is not so easy for the world of ice and fire, which does not even understand the concept of money and has a zero economic foundation.

Something that only professionals such as traders, and finance ministers, who have been passed down from generation to generation, have no idea how to make a port city's economy work, for former Kingsguards, mercenary captains, professional soldiers, and Daenerys, who has been raised as a child bride.

Dario and Barristan, who are good at observing words and colors, noticed Daenerys's expression, and gave up their hostility one after another without even saying hello, of course, the precautions that should be done still have to be done.

Noticing Daenerys, whose expression was relaxed, Yi Huan smiled, "I'll help you, these things can be solved, but it's not enough to have the Unsullied and the Second Son, and more importantly, ...... Westeros needs you. ”

"Why?" From beginning to end, Daenerys, who had been silent, finally said the third sentence after she saw Yi Huan, and at this time her expression was no longer full of majesty and unfamiliarity, but replaced by interest in learning and thirst for talent.

"Because ......" Yi Huan's smile was more friendly, but his voice was still calm, "...... Winter is coming. (To be continued......) R1292
