Game of Thrones: Holy Sword of Light

Chapter 29 Going against the decision of the ancestors
"Uh……"

Yaou, the steward from the Braaavos Iron Bank, has traveled far and wide and is well-informed. The Iron Bank is undoubtedly the richest man in the world today. I don’t know how many city-states and kingdoms are begging on their knees to accept their loans.

This little pioneer knight actually refused! ?

"Jon... my lord, I heard you right, you refused the loan from our Iron Bank!?"

Jon nodded decisively.

"Do you think I look like a poor man!?" Jon put his hands on his hips, his clothes were dirty and torn, and he didn't look rich.

"I see..." Yaou was very contemptuous in his heart, does it seem that you don't feel it in your heart?
However, he soon noticed the novelty of the hot air balloon that Jon made.

From the perspective of Asia and Europe traveling the whole world, this thing is very likely to change the whole world, flying balloons! ?If this is applied to war, it will be terrible.

Moreover, the construction of Bright Fort...

Very unique and very interesting.

This kind of potential stocks must have a good relationship, so Yaou quickly changed the subject, and he smiled amiably: "Master Jon, our iron bank can provide you with very low low-interest loans, purely on credit, not No collateral is required."

"Also, regarding your caravan..."

"Since you are not willing to cooperate, I think you need someone to sell it on your behalf. Our Iron Bank's caravans are all over the world, and we are willing to help you!"

Yaou has great management authority. He didn't just come here in a hot air balloon this time, mainly vodka and perfume, especially perfume.

That is undoubtedly a cross-generational invention.

God is pitiful, today's nobles are all stinky, and those who don't like bathing are covered in fleas. Aromatherapy doesn't help at all, but perfume...

That thing lasts all day!

"Hehe, low-interest loans!? Who do you look down on? I seem to be someone who can't pay interest!!"

"In the future, your iron bank may have to ask me for a loan!"

Jon said disdainfully that they still don't know what they brought back from beyond the Great Wall. Those gems, gold, and crystals are enough for Jon to become the richest man in the Seven Kingdoms, and his business blueprint plan can also be launched.

However, the Iron Bank is indeed an object that can be used at present. On the premise that he does not suffer losses, as a traveler with an omniscient reader's perspective, Jon is very clear about the role of the Iron Bank in the chaos of the Seven Kingdoms...

Yaou was stunned again, he was a very astute person, and immediately changed the subject: "Then we want to discuss your three dragon eggs with you, you know that the nobles of Braavos are dedicated to collecting all kinds of rare things Bao, since you can sell your three dragon eggs to Illyrio, governor of Pentos for one hundred thousand gold dragons, can you sell them to us!?"

"We are willing to give out 35 golden dragons."

Asia and Europe made a gesture indifferently, 35 golden dragons, this is the tax of the richest Hejian land in the Seven Kingdoms for seven years!
Many people live in poverty and cannot earn so much money.

Rob, Arya and others were dumbfounded.

35 golden dragons, what kind of concept is this!
Everyone held their breath and looked at Jon eagerly.

Unexpectedly, he just smiled faintly: "I have something to say about dragon eggs, which is pure nonsense. Our suggestion from Guangming Island is not to believe in rumors, not to spread rumors."

"Ahem, Lord Jon, although your subpoena is very covert, we, Iron Bank, have some ways to get the information. The three dragon eggs are indeed in your hands."

"How about this, you make a price, as long as it is suitable, we, Iron Bank, will never counter the price."

Seeing that Yaou looks like he is not short of money, Jon's heart is moved, isn't it, isn't it, such a local tyrant.

He gritted his teeth and said, "But, I had an agreement with Illyrio, how could I betray him and sell you the dragon eggs? Lord Illyrio is my dear friend, brother..."

"Tell me, how much can you sell the dragon egg for!"

Yaou stretched out a finger with a huge gold ring.

Jon grinned. If he guessed correctly, the three dragon eggs in the previous life were given to Illyrio by the Iron Bank, and Illyrio gave them to the brothers and sisters of the Dragon family.

From this point of view, Illyrio is just a pawn of the Iron Bank! ?

Thinking so carefully and fearfully, the smile on his face also restrained a bit. Braavos has a close relationship with the House of Black and White of the Temple of Thousand Faces. The Faceless people inside are all top killers. can fight them.

Seeing Jon let go, Yaou felt relieved, there is no one in the world who doesn't love money! ?

It's just that the bid is not high enough!

"Since Master Yaou is so sincere, let's go in and talk slowly."

Jon made an invitation gesture, and asked Shudun, a hundred member of the Light Corps, to collect the hot air balloon and welcome the people from the Iron Bank to the shore.

Walking on Guangming Island, Yaou was even more surprised.

As the location of the Iron Bank, Braavos has not been eroded by war for nearly a thousand years. One reason is that Braavos has a unique geographical location. In a natural port, only a narrow seaway can enter.

But there are natural dangers in the air, without absolute self-defense by force, the Iron Bank is just a piece of fat, so the Iron Bank has funded many kingdoms for many years, raised mercenary groups, and has the backing of the world's strongest assassin organization, the Academy of Black and White.

As far as he could see, there were bustling scenes everywhere...

Old people, women are washing blueberries and raspberries, men are cooking whale oil and seal oil, the road is clean and tidy, and the newly joined soldiers of the Bright Regiment are practicing the shield and spear array...

There is a strict distinction between the workshop area and the residential area, and there is also a sewage treatment pool.

What's more difficult is that whether it's a temporary tent or a wooden house, they are all clean and tidy. There are special public toilets, and even the excrement is used for composting. King's Landing, the capital of the Seven Kingdoms, cannot be so clean.

Damn King's Landing City smells like shit all the year round!

And walking on the street, if you are not careful, you will be drenched in feces and urine by the chamber pot spilled from the top of your head!

More than 2 people gathered near Guangming Fort. It is already a big force in the northern border. It can be managed in such an orderly manner. Rebellious and rebellious, like running wolves, but at the moment everyone has a satisfied and happy smile on their faces, and they are talking about bright spirits.

When seeing Jon, everyone saluted from the heart, showing respect to him.

He gritted his teeth, looked at Jon and made up his mind, no matter what, he must let this force be under the control of the Iron Bank's money...

After changing his clothes, Jon received Yaou in the simple hall of Bright Castle.

"Lord Yaou, welcome to Guangming Island, where the light shines."

Opening his arms, Jon introduced Guangming Island with a smile.

"Your Guangming Island is really like a pure land in the north, full of light..." Jon sighed from the bottom of his heart. At this time, the attendant brought mint tea, special ice cream in the north, fried hazelnuts in the north, and seal meat in the north. Dried, pickled whale meat, pickled puffins, etc.

"We can talk while we eat, please sit down."

The huge table is enough to seat dozens of people, including Rob, Arya, and Bachelor Qyburn.

Yaou talked with Jon with flickering eyes, and began to quickly evaluate Jon's value in his heart. A knight with a flexible mind and tens of thousands of people in the territory must not be reconciled to being trapped in the small Guangming Island. He will definitely attack Northland, even spying on the Iron Throne...

This is a law that no lord can avoid.

So he was full of confidence in his heart, took a sip of mint tea, and Yaou said with a light smile: "Master Jon, with all due respect, your construction of Guangming Island will cost a lot of money..."

"I look like someone who needs money!" Jon said angrily.

I, Jon Wright, don't even want my virginity, and I'm afraid of lack of money! ?

"Cough, I didn't mean that..."

"Your vodka, perfume, dragon eggs, we Iron Bank are very interested."

"Dragon eggs, if you really don't want to sell them, we don't have to talk about them for now, but, can you sell the recipe for vodka and perfume!?"

"Or, cooperate with us in depth, and we are willing to pay to help you expand production. You only need to sell a part of the profits. The free city-state across the narrow sea has a vast market, but it needs a fleet. IMHO, you don't have any Fleet, and our Iron Bank has it."

Asia and Europe simply expressed their demands.

"I prefer your iron bank to be the agent and distributor of my Bright Chamber of Commerce. You sign a contract once a year. You first need to give me one hundred thousand golden dragons in sincerity. The caravan agent of the treasury, unfortunately..."

"It's a pity that our ancestors in the north once said that we are not allowed to do business with the Iron Bank of Braavos, saying that your iron bank's shit is black, and you only have money in your eyes, and you will eat us up... ..."

"We can offer 30 Golden Dragon earnest money. As for the agency distribution of your products, don't you think it's appropriate to split the account!?!"

Yaou immediately gave new conditions, he is a decisive businessman.

"Old ancestor, open your eyes and see, the black-hearted merchants of Braavos have set foot on the northern border to bully people!"

"Uh... six or four points!?"

"Oh, cough cough, let me convert all 30 gold dragons into ships. My ancestor in the north liked the forest, sea and snow fields in the north. He hasn't seen the sea yet, so let me, Jon, look at the sea for him. If you know the underground, you will forgive me for my disrespect..."

Jon quickly accepted it as soon as it was good. Now Guangming Island is indeed unable to sell the goods to the Seven Kingdoms and across the Narrow Sea. He still needs to accumulate strength to actively prepare for the Cold Wave of the White Walkers.

"Your ancestors will be very pleased!" Yaou said through gritted teeth after being hit by Jon's stick.

"Hey, for the future of Guangming Island, for the future of the Northern Territory and the Seven Kingdoms, I have no choice but to make this agreement that goes against my ancestors..."

"The night is coming, Lord Asia and Europe."

"I saw a boundless cold wave outside the Great Wall. There are countless ghouls inside. They devour all life. I must earn enough money as soon as possible to arm myself."

"When the cold wave sweeps across the northern border, I am the light of the northern border!"

Yaou was stunned, he naturally didn't believe in ghosts, but the House of Black and White worshiped all gods of death.

"Everyone is mortal..."

"Everyone needs to be fed!"

……

When he saw the giant and the son of the forest transported across the sea, and the ghoul that Jon tried his best to catch, Yaou's expression became even more exciting.

He quickly signed a pact with Jon, and hurried on board the ship back to Braavos.

At the port, Yaou, the steward of the Iron Bank, was sent away. Robb and Arya both looked at Jon: "What did you do!?"

Robb's words refer to those giants and the children of the forest.

"I did a stupid thing, a stupid thing..."

"In the future, if I say that I want to set foot on the outside of the Great Wall and fight against the White Walkers, you must give me a hammer and teach me on behalf of the ancestors!"

Jon patted his chest in fear, full of horror.

……

Time goes back to a day ago.

"I just don't know if the White Walkers will attack the wildlings in an all-round way. In that case, there will be 10,000+ wildlings, all of which will become the backup force of the White Walkers..."

Jon told the Green Prophet the Three-Eyed Raven to let the White Walkers taste what it means to melt the snow and the ice of the ages.

As they spoke, they began to arrange giants and free people, and the soldiers of the Light Corps set up traps and packed things.

Hearttree Valley is a good place for natural fire attack. When he came out this time, Jon not only brought a lot of high-grade vodka to keep the soldiers warm, but also brought a lot of whale oil and seal oil.

Whale oil, in the 78s, was an important source of oil for the Industrial Revolution, and the fat of a whale can produce hundreds of barrels of oil.

Seal oil is also a high-quality animal oil and does not require refining.

They also have the advantage of...

In the extremely cold environment beyond the Great Wall, it can also be ignited. By mixing vodka, seal oil, and whale oil in a certain proportion, Jon created the northern version of "wildfire".

Resistant to low-temperature combustion and not afraid of cold, this oil is simply born for grilling White Walkers.

Jon wanted to try to see if this oil would work on the White Walkers.

Arrange for the giants and the soldiers of the Bright Group to cover the entire heart tree canyon with grease, forming a bag-like encirclement, leaving only the direction facing the cold wave of the strange ghosts.

Of course, the ancestral heart tree did not let it go. This thousand-year-old tree is full of natural energy, and it burns with great power...

Anyway, Lord Brynden doesn't need it anymore, and there is still a weirwood from Guangming Island for him to live in.

After everyone cleaned up, Jon also put the Green Prophet Brynden into a dragonglass weirwood coffin, and put him in the heart tree hole as a bait. He was carried by the giant Wangwang, and Jon, Tormund, Wangwang, and Leaf and a dozen children of the forest guard it.

Most of the remaining people quickly evacuated, carrying gems and gold, looked towards Guangming non-stop, and returned to Guangming Island by boat.

With the magic of the weirwood, the White Walkers cannot enter the Heart Tree, but the Three-Eyed Raven needs to use most of its magic power to maintain the magic. Now that he is freed from the Heart Tree, this magic cannot last for too long.

So the White Walkers were able to command the tide of wights to rush into the cave in the heart tree.

In contrast, Jon has made sufficient preparations... This is why he has the confidence to challenge the White Walkers this time.

hot air balloon.

Using whale oil and seal oil as fuel, the three hot air balloons made of seal skin and buffalo skin are Jon’s escape tool. Retreat at the end of the day, light the ancestor heart tree, and leave here in a hot air balloon hanging on the crown of the heart tree.

Give the White Walkers a game of ice and fire.

Come north, turn back and write poetry, and let bards spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms!

but……

When he saw the army of strange ghosts approaching, Jon was still stunned, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and who said that the dead can't play tricks! ?
This White Walker is actually so smart, and the Night King obviously possesses extremely high tactical literacy.

He actually commanded a large number of ghouls to surround the entire Heart Tree Valley, but did not attack. Instead, he gathered with many other ghosts on the cliff above the valley, raising his hands to the sky, as if casting magic...

The heart tree valley instantly blew a white hair wind, and the wind and frost were like a knife cutting a person's face. In this case, I am afraid that the cold-resistant whale oil would be difficult to ignite...

In the sight of the crow.

Jon saw the legendary Night King, wearing the armor of the night watchman, wearing the ice crown, gray all over, and blue eyes.

And the strange ghosts around him were also wearing the night watchman's armor...

"run!"

After estimating the situation, Jon immediately ordered to run away, the little Night King is ridiculous, as long as we run fast enough, you can't threaten me!
Night King is a fart, can you fly! ?

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the whale oil in the heart tree ignited inexplicably...

"Who is it, who stepped on the horse and set our own retreat on fire!" Jon was instantly angry, really convinced, which pig teammate did it!
