Chapter 45 Conquering Rhys, Searching for Mother
After Oris finished speaking, Salado-Sean looked excited and nodded in agreement without hesitation. Oris was momentarily taken aback by Salado's reaction, but seeing the positive outcome, he quickly recovered and stopped wondering why Salado was so happy. After seeing Oris off, Salado was so excited he couldn't sleep. He had clearly sensed Oris's distrust after giving away his daughter, which explained his late-comer status and the prestige of being a pirate. Now, Oris was asking for his son, clearly indicating Oris wanted to give him a position of importance—how could Salado not be excited?
Salado, a former pirate, wanted to leave a legacy for his descendants after witnessing Davos's successful landing. Upon learning of Oris's success in Tyros, Salado immediately led his followers to join him, aiming to secure a good future for his descendants before his death, ideally making them hereditary nobles. Although Oris had succeeded, his founding team lacked talent, and Salado filled that gap, promising a noble life for his children in the future.
Two days later, without any warning, the gates of Rhys suddenly opened, and countless Rhysian soldiers emerged, weapons raised high. Oris, seeing this, knew the Rhysian Council's negotiations had ended. Oris immediately rode Durotan to receive the Rhysian army. The seven governors, including Trigger, knelt before Oris in submission. Trigger and the others drew Valyrian steel greatswords from their backs. Oris accepted the swords, embracing the Westeros ceremony to signify their allegiance.
Afterwards, Auris's army entered the city and relieved the Lis soldiers outside the city. At the same time, Salado was left behind to reorganize the Lis army so that Auris could leave with his troops later. This would limit the number of local soldiers in Lis and prevent the governors from having the strength to cause trouble after Auris left.
The Vaal Steel Greatsword in Oris's hand was named Lust. It was commissioned by several council families and crafted by the artisans of Kohol after Oris broke away from the rule of Valentis. It had never been shown before. Oris casually handed the sword to Tian Shou. Although Oris was also 1.9 meters tall, this two-handed greatsword was indeed suitable for him to use.
Oris currently possesses Valyrian steel longswords, including his own red dragon and the Dark Sisters of the Targaryen family, as well as two captured Valyrian steel longswords, Truth and Strength, and an oversized Valyrian steel dagger. This expedition, consisting solely of Valyrian steel weapons, has yielded a considerable haul for Oris.
Over the next few days, Oris rested in the city of Lis, sending troops to maintain order within the city. The work of abolishing slavery was also proceeding in an orderly manner. Oris did not abolish slavery directly, as that would cause a large population shock to society, affecting the city's security and also impacting the industrial production and trade of various city-states.
Oris changed the original slave system to an employment system. To become a free man, one needed to sign an employment contract with a former employer for at least one year. The monthly salary was paid monthly and registered with the government and banks. Oris also obtained a considerable amount of deposit for each employment contract. Oris was in Ries, while news of Tyros and Myr continued to come.
As Oris's personal bodyguard, Tian Shou often needed to deliver a lot of information, but Tian Shou's brain was indeed a bit lacking. Oris then thought of Qyburn, whom he had captured during the Battle of Tyrosi. Qyburn was originally a doctor in the Warriors' Legion. After the fall of Tyrosi, he did not cause trouble but instead voluntarily surrendered. Oris had previously ignored him because he was too busy, but now he had become the best candidate to be Oris's advisor.
Finally having some free time, Oris strolled around the city of Lys. Immediately remembering his prostitute mother, Oris entered the Perfume Garden in plain clothes without making a sound. By this time, Oris's memories of his mother were very vague. Even though he had memories from infancy, infant eyesight was poor, and more than a decade had passed. Oris only remembered her as a slender, petite woman with long, silver-gold hair.
After returning to the brothel, Oris began to look around. Although many sex slaves and prostitutes were interested in him, Oris remained unmoved. After wandering around the brothel for half an hour, Oris finally found a small room in an alley that resembled the one in his memory. Oris pushed the door open and saw the madam training an ordinary-looking silver-haired girl in bed. Oris didn't look at her for long and turned his back to the madam, asking, "Did a little boy live here eighteen years ago?"
Seeing that Oris's attire was unusual and the burly man beside him had a fierce appearance, the madam said, "My good guest, your information didn't come for nothing." Oris, without saying much, simply took a gold coin from his purse and tossed it to the madam. The madam glanced at the coin, then looked up at the sky, and said sullenly, "Doris's child did stay for a while, but his father took him away later." Oris paused upon hearing Doris's name, recalling many images of her as an infant, and asked, "What happened to that woman named Doris?" The madam scoffed, pointing to the girl on the ground, "The new king died before entering the city, leaving behind a fool. Look at this girl, she's mentally unstable. She was defiled by a customer when she was twelve or thirteen. She's average-looking, and she can't learn the techniques. I don't know what to do with her."
Oris followed the madam's finger to the girl still sitting on the ground. She did indeed have short, silver-blonde hair, but otherwise bore no resemblance to Doris in Oris's memory. Seeing the madam's troubled expression, Oris immediately said, "Sell me this girl and Doris's belongings as a package. How much?"
Seeing Oris looking like a sucker, the madam was about to ask for an exorbitant price when she noticed Tian Shou behind Oris. She then slowly said, "It's nothing valuable. 50 gold coins will suffice. Don't feel cheated, sir. This child is, after all, a genuine Valyrian bloodline and is well worth it."
Oris didn't haggle, but he didn't have enough gold coins in his purse, so he took some from Tian Shou before handing the 50 gold coins to the proprietress. The proprietress immediately brought out a large cloth bag from the small house. Oris was surprised by the madam's efficiency and asked, "Did Doris live here before she died?" The madam didn't mince words and said directly, "Yes, Doris moved into this courtyard after that boy left, and she never left until she died." Oris remained silent, reached out and took the bag from the madam, and just as Oris was about to touch the girl, she let out a sharp scream and flailed her arms and legs backward. Only then did Oris remember that the child had mental problems.
