Game of Thrones: Dragonborn Comes

The last owner of the Valyrian steel sword "Truth" was Moredo Rogar, but that was a story 130 years ago.Afterwards, the family declined, and the main line was almost dead, leaving only these side branches, and the sword has long since disappeared. "The sword was hidden in the house of the Trade Prince Tragg O'Moron. His house died when the city of Lys was stormed, and all the property in the house was taken by the Volantenes. I am lucky and have a good knowledge of magic items. Strong perception, found it from their loot pile, and bought it back for a very low price." Werther explained to her unhurriedly. ....
Kona looked at Werther with pleading eyes: "Then is this sword given to me?"
Werther: "Of course, you have done so many things for me and almost hollowed out the city of Myr. This sword is the reward you deserve! With this sword, you will be the direct line of the family from now on!"
Kona wanted to cry, but Werther didn't give up on herself. The meaning of giving this sword was to restore her family's glory, and she became the leader of this new generation of family.
"Thank you, Duke Werther!" Kona put down her long sword, stood up and held Werther's head in both hands, and kissed her face heavily.
"Thank you, thank you, don't move your mouth!" Werther pushed her away gently, afraid that he would not be able to hold on.
Tyene passed by the door at this time, holding the door frame with her hands and poking her head in: "Werther, have you been kissed by a woman again?"
"I can't help myself." Werther still had a few big red lips with scent on his face.
"Korna, it's just right for you to be here, come and see the little clothes I made!" Triene outside the door shook a freshly made child's clothes in her hand.
"Come here!" Kona didn't take the sword when she walked out. She wanted to take it from Werther after harvesting the money in Mill City, but when she walked out, she stretched out her hand and squeezed Werther's chest hard. a handful.
"Hahaha, I just said that Werther's muscles are very strong, how does it feel?" Tyene held Cora's hand.
"It's not bad, but it's a little tanned." The two talked all the way and walked away.
Werther took Kona's unfinished wine and drank it in one gulp: "Such expensive wine can't be wasted!"

Chapter 250 Eight Tailosi Style Painting
Werther and Robb walked slowly from the port to the city. Earl Wyman Manderly of White Harbor in the north just left with his eldest son.
Earl Wyman brought a large amount of potatoes from the north when he came this time. When he returned, he bought a large number of tarpaulins and umbrellas, many of which were purchased for lords in other regions. This winter will be very long, Taylor The tarpaulins produced in the West are of good quality and affordable, and are used by people in the north to protect food from moisture or temporarily repair houses.
The umbrellas I bought were all cheap ones produced on Bloodstone Island in Garlan Tyrell. In the words of Earl Wyman, the northern border is full of rough men. It is enough for them not to get wet on cold rainy days. He can use umbrellas to fight, and high-end goods are not easy to use when beating people.
Werther and Robb walked side by side at the front of the procession.
The guards behind him had put away Werther's flag and carried it on their shoulders. They knew that Werther didn't like to ostentatiously except on formal occasions.
The tall captain of the personal guard, Sir Baron, also followed Werther boredly. He was wearing pale gold armor, a tall antler helmet, and a gorgeous half-flaming stag cape behind his left shoulder. This is the latest standard armor of the personal guard, 100 Everyone in the human team wears this kind of armor. Officers have different patterns of complexity on their armor according to their ranks. As the captain, Baron has patterns on his armor all over his body.
Everyone envied him the safest idle job, but he was a relatively traditional Stormlander, and he always yearned for the battlefield in his heart. He applied for several times to go to war with Nymeria but was rejected by Werther.
The same goes for the soldiers of the pro-guards. They are all selected from the Tyroshi navy and city defense army. They are of good civilian or noble origin, loyal, tall and handsome, and there is no requirement for martial arts.They are safe, well paid, and wear decent ornate armor and cloaks. Most of them have married and settled in the city, live in the castle when on duty, and go back to their homes to reunite with their wives during vacations. Some of them have already given birth to children.
The guards, which are privately called the "Peacocks" by the colleagues of the other two armies, are training every day under the leadership of Baron. A team of 100 people is no longer a fancy dress. Chances can prove themselves.It’s hard to come across an opportunity to kill the enemy and make meritorious service. It is estimated that before running two steps, the enemy on the opposite side has been blown into the sky by Werther’s magic, or it is an enemy that the guards can’t deal with at all, such as the huge plague dragon flying in the sky .It seemed that the chances of following Werther were slim, and they were both painful and happy.
"Master, will this winter really be long?" Robb has only experienced winter once in his life, but at that time he was still young, and he stayed in Winterfell with floor heating every day, and he didn't feel much except wearing a fur coat when he went out. What a difference.
"You have to trust the people in Xuecheng. They have thousands of years of experience in predicting winter based on the length of summer. The prediction is very accurate."
Werther saw oranges for sale at the fruit stand on the roadside, asked the price and bought the whole basket, peeled one himself, threw one to Robb, and threw all the other oranges to the soldiers of the pro-guards.Werther is rich and rich now!Get hungry and eat one and buy a basket.
"Food! Duke Ed has made food reserves in advance, but it's not enough! Because once the White Walkers outside the Great Wall go south, all the forests and pastures will become dead, and even moss will not grow!"….
"But if the lords are all buying food, many lords in the northern border will go bankrupt!" Robb thought for a while and said.In the final analysis, he is just a rich young man now, who does not know the hardships of farmers at the bottom of today's productive forces, let alone the logic of production at the bottom.
Werther: "You are the future Duke of the Northern Territory. You still have a lot to learn to achieve sustainable depletion of fisheries! When you go back, don't go directly to the Northern Territory. The Stone Step Islands develop finance, entertainment, manufacturing and commerce here. This model is not suitable for the North, I suggest you go to the Stormlands or the Reach to have a look."
"Wow, it's Robb! Come in and play!"
"It's really Robb, come to my sister, she won't charge you money!"
"My sister and I are twins, so we are twice as happy!"
A group of people passed by the entrance of an entertainment venue. All the beauties and sisters on the balconies on the second and third floors were excited when they saw Robb, ignoring that Werther was all greeting Robb, some were waving, and some were taking off their clothes. collar, and some lifted their skirts.
The future Duke of Winterfell, with a tall and strong body, a mysterious magician, several status blessings, and the key is a handsome face with shoulder-length hair. After Robb came to Tyrosh, he was very popular with the women in the city. .What is Robb married?His little wife didn't even have her period, didn't she just take advantage of the women in the city?
Robb seemed used to the situation, smiling at the women and waving his arms in greeting.
"Are you listening!" Werther's tone was a little heavy, definitely not because he was jealous that Robb was more popular than himself, but because he was afraid that he would not care about this matter.
"I've got it in mind," Robb replied without blushing or heartbeat.
On the contrary, it was his direwolf, Gray Wind, who would run to the entrance of the entertainment place every time he encountered such a situation, waiting for the ladies to stroke it and give it a few small pieces of meat by the way.
The direwolf is very smart, and a low-magic creature with magic power. It has a strong sense of hostility and is even more sensitive to smell.It knows that these women are not hostile, but also full of lust.
Werther looked at the tall Gray Wind enjoying the woman's touch, and then looked back at Robb who was looking straight ahead with an upright face. The magic light suddenly lit up on his hand, and his right hand went around Robb's shoulder and fingers on his collarbone.
"You're changing shape with Gray Wind! Good boy, I caught you this time!"
"Ah!" Robb, who had exited the easy-going state, came back to his senses completely, and Gray Wind crawled around among the women and got close to the chef holding the minced meat. "Master, don't tell Saran!"
"Don't worry, I understand!" Werther put away his magic and patted Robb on the shoulder.
Robb's current age is when he is full of firepower, let alone a first-time brother, he even has an illegitimate child.He really liked Saran, because Saran was young and hadn't touched him since they got married, so he had nowhere to vent his firepower.And things that are reasonable in this world, and Tyrosh’s entertainment industry is one of the pillars of the economy, Robb was dazzled after arriving here, but because of his father’s words and deeds, he became entangled and restrained himself all the time.
"Listen to me, I'll give you an idea!" Werther was afraid that something would happen to him, or that the whole illegitimate child would come out.
"What should I do?" Robb looked back at Werther, his eyes full of expectation, lust, and a trace of fear and confusion.Werther was all too familiar with this look, as if he had returned to his previous life. ....
Werther first had to untangle his knot: "Your behavior is very similar to your father."
Robb nodded: "Yes, he taught me to abide by the code of knights and stick to the beliefs of the old gods."
Werther smiled when he heard it: "What is King Robert's attitude towards women?"
People all over the country knew what Robert's attitude was, but Robb didn't answer, just raised his eyebrows, which was tacit understanding.
Werther: "Your father and Robert lived together, basically growing up in a pair of pants, so."
"I didn't expect him to be such a person!" Robb had some associations.
I didn't say anything, Werther thought, only some accepted facts, and Robb made up the rest.
"Tonight, I will ask Tyene to take you and Saran to the entertainment venue. Since you respect your wife, don't avoid her. Go with her generously. There are many entertainment venues in Tyrosh City that are suitable for you." Not all entertainment items for women or children are aimed at the lower thirds.”
"Is this really okay?" Robb looked forward to it.
Werther greeted behind him: "Sir Balon, you are in charge of arranging Robb tonight, and I will pay the fee."
Holding his helmet, Baron came over with a fierce look on his face: "Haha, I am most familiar with the casinos in the city. As long as Robb asks, I can find anything!"
That night, led by Tyene and Little Rose Margery, together with Robb, Saran, Sansa, Jon and Baron, a total of seven people went to a favorite place of Tyene.Saran and Sansa couldn't let go at first, but they were still infected by the excellent singing and dancing. Each of them started drinking with a beautiful woman in their arms.Saran was also very sensible, and returned to the castle with Tyene after a few songs and dances, leaving the three men to continue having fun.
There is no religion or law in this world that says these things are illegal. The entertainment industry has existed in the nine major trading city-states for thousands of years, and Tylosi and Rhys City were specialized in this industry in their early years.After Witte took over, what he did was standardization, industrialization and high-end.Catering, accommodation, security, and medical care are all guaranteed. Women’s rights and training work are also rated and licensed by special agencies. As long as it is not forced or bought and sold, Witte will support it.
Now the industry has grown bigger, forming a complete industrial chain from high-end to supporting.The most high-end group of people have been able to enter the Werther Theater for performances. A few women with outstanding looks and good voices have already become stars. People cheer for them wherever they go. Rich businessmen and nobles can also invite them home. Take pride in staying overnight.
There are local women in the city, there are people from Lys and Volantis, people from Dornish, and people from the Seven Kingdoms. They all have different cultures, but after coming to Tyrosh, they all respect each other's culture and are not hostile. They can even openly talk about each other's religion and customs on the street. Tylosey is the most open and inclusive city right now.Women in the entertainment industry are not discriminated against, and various merchants will spend a lot of money to sponsor them, let them use their own products, and hang their beautiful portraits at the door of their shops.
Following the trend is a kind of subconsciousness that naturally arises after human beings live in groups.I don't know if it was influenced by Werther and Nymeria, but Tyroshi not only went to the casino for men, but also for women. ....
And everyone thinks that two men are not good together, but two women are very beautiful together.Therefore, the female guests and female practitioners in the entertainment place play more wildly, and the husband takes his wife to the entertainment place together.
Gorgeous costumes, expensive jewelry, exquisite and beautiful makeup, and their various daily necessities, from nobles to women, radiate to the whole city, promoted by businessmen, and deliberately manipulated by Werther behind the scenes.If Tylosi is popular, then this kind of product must be easy to sell!
Everyone's pursuit of beauty brought unexpected benefits to Werther, and art ushered in a great development.
Painting, sculpture and music.Needless to say, music is naturally compatible with the entertainment industry, and these people were the first to integrate into Tyroshi.
There are many wealthy people in Tailosi, and they all need these things to decorate their residences and shops to show their unique and high-end taste.With the support of merchants and nobles, the painters and craftsmen who had been doing business one after another in Westeros and Essos mainland, barely able to make ends meet, and their apprentices all flocked to Tyrosi City.
The most popular in the past year is all kinds of paintings and sculptures of various human bodies. Painters and craftsmen have also begun to involve. Various genres have appeared in the city, and the closer to the real ones, the higher the prices.
Some wear clothes, some don’t wear clothes, some wear weapons and armor as required, and there are also nobles who want to turn the scenery in their dreams into real things. Werther’s policy is very loose, as long as you don’t mess with Baratheon The creation of the beheaded family will do.
A conservative aristocrat who traveled here wanted to say that this was not good in front of Werther, that the whole city was full of lust and was too depraved.
Werther directly refuted whether he wanted to have children after seeing those paintings?That's right, if Tyroshi lacks people, he should have more lives!I can't afford to support Werther, since I have money now anyway.This is the highest policy for population development!Directly block the mouths of those conservative nobles.
The white walls and red houses are dotted with green coconut trees and palm trees in Tylosi City. During the day, people are busy working. At this time, most of the people entertaining are outsiders. At night, after work, the locals will flock to the tavern or entertainment. There are high-end venues and low-end ones with affordable prices. Everyone can find their own place in Telosi.
Recently, a large number of people engaged in art have gathered in Tylosi, adding a touch of color to the city.All kinds of small sculptures were installed on the mansions all over the city, and the flower stands on the street were also sponsored by businessmen and replaced with white carved stone fences. If there were not a few paintings hanging outside the shops, it would be embarrassing to open for business.
Werther also asked an artist to draw a picture of himself, Nymeria and Tyrene, and the painting was hung in the living room. On it, he was standing on the top of the lighthouse overlooking the entire city of Tyrosh. Nymeria and Tyrene were on the left. Holding his waist with his right hand, there is a giant dragon flying in the air in the distance, which is called a wise and mighty one.
Pocket watches, jewelry, weapons, and umbrellas are all slowly innovating according to Witte’s original design. The arrival of artists has greatly promoted the development of these industries. The current styles of pocket watch cases, jewelry, and weapons are constantly being updated, and women’s high-end umbrellas are more A new umbrella pattern is launched every month. Triene and Margaery are two of the most loyal collectors. They are obviously their own products, so they insist on keeping one at home for every model.
Several of the most skilled, best and most famous painters and engravers have earned a lot of money, and have already bought a house in the city and married a beautiful dancer to settle down.Several people were also moved when they saw the magic school and the school city branch. After discussing, they found Werther and planned to open an art school to bring together various genres of skills.Of course Witt agreed, and directly rented out a piece of open land in the south to them at a low price. As long as the purpose of the school was not changed, the rent would only be charged for one golden dragon a year.
What Werther has gained from artists is not limited to these. Although some things still need time to accumulate, there is one thing Werther attaches great importance to.
Painters of various genres gathered in Tailosi to make money, and profit-seeking businessmen would naturally follow, and they brought paints from all over the world.
Most of the current pigments are made of natural minerals, and only a few are extracted from plants or animals. Through statistics and analysis of the origin of pigments, Witte indirectly grasped the distribution of mineral resources in the two continents, pointing out the direction for the next expansion.

Chapter 250 IX Return
Time passed quickly, and a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Werther brought Tyrosh's officials to the fief of Auryn Velaryon. Seagull Island is very close to Cape Cracking Wind, and a lot of wood and raw materials can be easily transported here. When the weather is good, you can often see To a sailboat towing a string of logs sailing the sea.
A large arc-shaped deep-water port on the island is full of warships. When the soldiers stepped off the ship in a neat line, the boatmen also boarded the ship with hammers and saws to start repairs.
Farther away from the port is an endless shipyard, where the water is shallower and heavy-duty ships cannot enter, so Oren has planned it as a shipbuilding area.Countless workers are busy inside. There are warships belonging to Tyroshi under construction, merchant ships of various nobles in the Stone Step Islands, and ships of strange styles that undertake shipbuilding orders from other regions.
Werther asked the two people around him: "Olein, Hooper, you two are admirals, are these warships bought from Mill City useful?"
In the dry dock, a warship is supported by dozens of wooden piles. Workers are using shovels to remove the barnacles attached to the hull, and by the way, paint the hull white and red.
The two glanced at each other, intending to tell the truth, Hopper winked at Oren, and asked Oren, No.1 in the Navy, to speak.
"Duke Witt, Myr's warships are all made of high-quality wood, very strong and well-crafted. But." Oren stopped.
"I haven't seen you for a few months. Are you basking in the sun at sea? Why are you so hesitant to talk to me!" Werther took out a few pieces of military chocolate from his pocket and threw them at them.
Huo Bo reached out to catch it, and immediately opened the paper bag to eat: "Haha, it's a good thing from the Stormlands. The rich cocoa scent reminds me of the taste of my hometown. It's so sweet that I feel dizzy after eating too much!"
Oren: "This is for the soldiers to supplement nutrition in an emergency. If you like to eat it, go buy the 'Flying Dragon' from Storm's End. Chocolate, mint flavor is very comfortable."
Werther: "Speak directly if you two have something to say, and write a report to me if you don't!"
Auryn Velaryon, the naval commander in charge of foreign operations, is a military post belonging to the Seven Kingdoms. Under Werther's military position under the guardianship of the Straits, the kingdom also bears half of his salary.However, all the troops and warships under his leadership are in charge of Werther. The royal family gave Werther a title, and Werther himself is responsible for raising soldiers. A military job that you can't even ask for.
Other nobles raised so many soldiers during the non-war period, not to mention the money spent, even the neighboring nobles will immediately suspect that you are going to rob them, even the king will suspect that you are planning to rebel!If you want to save your life from being besieged, you have to disband your troops.Therefore, in the entire Seven Kingdoms today, only the king, the four guardians of the southeast, northwest, Dorne with a high degree of autonomy, and the current guardian of the Strait, Werther, can legally maintain a large number of troops.
Of course, there are many private soldiers raised by those powerful nobles, such as the Hightower and Redwyne families in the Reach. They are all called caravans, which is a problem left over from history. ....
The same is true for Werther himself. The naval commander Auryn Velaryon is leading a legitimate army, and the offshore fleet led by the coastal defense officer Hobber Redwyne is Werther's private soldiers from Tyroshidou. is a unified name.
"Don't write a report, I'll just say it!" Oren wrote well, but he felt a headache when he thought of the official document format required by Werther.
"Mir's warships are good ships, but they don't match up well with our Tyroshi fleet. Our ships are all newer and faster, while Myr's warships are slower, and will slow down once the expedition The speed of the entire fleet."
The duke spent a lot of money to buy the warship, but his subordinates didn't want it. It was very offensive to say this.There is nothing to say about the ability to fight at sea. He doesn't want to offend anyone when he does anything. At the same time, he can give some benefits to his colleagues and take care of all aspects. This is the character of Oren, who was born as an illegitimate child.
But Hope Redwyne is different. Although he was cowardly and despised by others when he was a child, he was still the second son of a powerful family. After he became an adult, he was supported by his family. In the past two years, with the support of his family, his territory Torture Abyss has also developed. He has a good appearance, and he has gradually gained some responsibility and ability. He is no longer the second generation ancestor "Drooling Sir" who used to rely on his family's merits in exchange for titles.
"What about you? Hope, tell me what you think." The two of them must have discussed it in private first, so Werther asked along the topic.
Hopper: "Duke Witt, the inconsistent speed of these ships is a big problem. I discussed with Commander Oren that my near defense fleet does not need such a fast speed. You can give these ships to me. I will use the new ones. The ship was exchanged for the Far Sea Navy.”
Werther thought about it carefully, and it was not bad, and then he said to the two of them: "Your idea is good! There are more than these ships bought from Mir, and there will be more than [-] ships coming here to repair and paint after a while. Hooper, Oren, take this opportunity to replace all Haiphong ships with Mir ships, and the two of you must organize the handover."
Hopper: "Yes!"
"Obey! Duke Werther bought so many ships, is he going to conduct military operations?" Oren was looking forward to the next war.
There are many workers in the shipyard, noisy and busy, Witte didn't answer him, but just nodded.
Seeing Werther nodding, Oren straightened his body and saluted Werther, and Hobo who was next to him immediately followed suit.
In the noisy shipyard, the two great figures of the Stone Step Islands, the Earl of Seagull Island and the Earl of Torment Deep, stood straight and saluted Duke Werther.Some people think that Werther cares about face and does all kinds of ceremonial things.And some smart people discovered the clue, and a gossip began to spread among the boatman class.
The Duke of Ruins and the Second Son Islands!This is because the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms did not add swear words because of Werther's face, but the content was extremely insulting.One is to ridicule a group of people who let go of their good family territory and go to the difficult land of the Stone Step Islands to open up wasteland. He often laughed at these second-generation ancestors for their incompetence.
Is it a lie, no, it's the truth.Except for Ashara who cut it out with her own two long swords, the rest of the Stone Step Islands, Garlan Tyrell, Earl of Bloodstone Harbor, Auryn Velaryon, Earl of Seagull Island, and Hobber, Earl of Torment Pit Redwyne, Andrew Esmond, Earl of Grove Hall, Gunthor Hightower, Earl of Cancer Castle, Allard Seaworth, Lord of Stormport, Dickon Tarly, Lord of Gray Gallows Island, and Baron, Lord of Fire Island · History and literature, everyone is a lord based on the merits of the family. ....
As long as the living people are still venting their anger, they must fight for it!Among these people, there are those who are capable, and there are real second-generation ancestors, but since following Werther, Werther has given unreserved guidance on territorial governance, economic and agricultural development, and military affairs. Now I feel that I have grown up. The nobles of the Tier Islands urgently need a war to justify their names.
Werther already knew what they were thinking. War is not something that can be launched just by launching it.Like Meereen, the warring parties are not his own, so Werther doesn't care so much, and he can do it himself.But when it comes to your own army, the things involved are complicated.Werther calculated it himself. For an ordinary soldier in Tyrosh, the cost of recruiting, shipping, equipment, training, and military pay from other places is more than 5 gold dragons, and the cost of senior officers and warships. You have to pay extra.
After the battle, all these golden dragons evaporated.It is also impossible for Werther to arrange the entire battle in order to reduce losses. When encountering problems, he will go to fight by himself, so who is the Duke?
A sentence like this instantly appeared in Werther's mind: "My lord, the toilet in Tyroshi Port is blocked again!"
Before returning to Tyrosh, Werther walked around the various islands by the way, inspecting the development of their territory.
A small amount of vegetables and crops have been harvested for two seasons. Werther does not want to solve the food supply with this output, but only serves as an experimental field for breeding and seedlings.It will take two to three years for the newly planted fruit trees to be harvested. By then, there will be a lot more varieties of fruit wine.
