Gendry thought Cora was talking about Ashara or a wizard, but Werther saw her eyes and thought she was talking about himself.

"Count the number, half of these boxes are shipped to the castle, and half are shipped to Myr today!" Werther went on to get down to business.

~~~

Renly presided over the research and development of wands in Tyrosh, Tyene acted as the acting castellan, Werther went to Myr with a 100-person guard and fleet, Werther, who hadn't been on a boat for a long time, had a leisurely time again.

....

There are no storms in January, and the offshore wind and waves along the coast of the mainland are also light. Leaving Tylosi and sailing north along the coast, there are many ships coming and going.

Dozens of large sailing ships of a unified standard sailed together with warships flying the flag of the stag with the crown of flames above their heads. At the forefront of the fleet was the newly built flagship of the Duke of Tylosi, a pure white narrow-hulled three-masted sailing ship.After the name was officially determined, black characters in dragon language were written on both sides of the white bow: Knight of the Waves.

The name of the flagship is to encourage the Tyroshi people in the storm-prone area to brave the waves, and to use knights instead of dukes is to give them hope. A warrior.

With such a formation, it must be that the always peace-loving Duke Tyroshi is out on a tour.The fleet of non-stone-step islands chose to avoid it after seeing it from a distance, and the scattered pirates took the initiative to lower their sails and stop the ship where they were, hoping that their good attitude would keep them from dying under the dragon flames.

The caravans of the Stone Step Islands all followed the fleet, and when they approached Mill City, the number of sailing fleets reached hundreds of ships.

After entering Mill Bay, the wind decreased, and it would take several hours to reach the shore. On the bow deck of the white flagship, Werther and Admiral Oren Velaryon were chatting with the sea breeze.

Werther folded his hands on his chest: "How is the situation in Dorne?"

Oren's blond hair was blown back by the sea breeze: "The third supply went well, and all the supplies have been delivered."

Witte: "Besides the war, is there any other news?"

Oren thought for a while: "We all have military intelligence, but I heard a funny thing about Dorne in the tavern."

"Oh! Tell me!" Werther was also very interested in news that would make Oren feel amusing.

Oren: "The gambling stalls in King's Landing City set out their odds to bet on the life and death of the various nobles in Dorne. Recently, they adjusted the odds for each noble."

"Odds?" Werther hadn't had that in a long time.

Oren: "The odds of the death of Nymeria Martell, the leader of the Qin King Army, have increased, while the odds of the counter-rebel leader Anders Inlonwood have been lowered. He wrote a letter to King's Landing City to question Stannis, why did the odds of my death be the lowest one moment, and the highest the next moment. But Duke Stannis never admitted that he did it, and no one in King’s Landing paid any attention to him.”

"Haha, this Yinlunwood!" Werther laughed out loud, but he felt that the information reflected in the odds was more than that.Not only Werther is playing Dorne's idea, there are also people in King's Landing and the Seven Kingdoms who are also calculating, but they are currently in the same goal as Werther, and they all want to bring Dorne into the real rule of the Seven Kingdoms. Werther let Nymeria go to war , They are secretly assisting.With one mind now, the future is uncertain.

As for who they were, Werther had guessed many people.There was Oberon, but now he was seriously injured with Doran, and was taken away by Yin Lunwood.There is Varys, but with Varys' power, he can't do this alone.Most of the nobles of the Reach and the Stormlands have blood feuds with the Dornishmen and are likely involved.

And Stannis' odds of the nobles' death in the Dorne War also influenced the course of the war to a certain extent.

From Nymeria's ultra-low death odds at the beginning, it has gradually become higher now.The odds of those who suppressed the rebels began to gradually decrease.

Do you think Yin Lunwood's hope of victory is getting bigger and bigger?Not really.

According to Werther's understanding, with Stannis, the amount of betting on this war is getting bigger and bigger, and the amount is so large that he can hardly control it.In the High Court, the news was revealed from Varys that the ministers of the imperial council and Robert had already begun to intervene in this matter.

The higher odds of Yin Lunwood's death can reflect that more and more people want him to die.His death will not only allow Dorne to formally merge into the Seven Kingdoms, but also make a lot of money from his death, and Stannis is likely to go bankrupt because of this, so he has to lower his odds.

There is never evidence for a conspiracy. If there is evidence, it is not called a conspiracy, but a crime.

A naval officer in uniform came over: "Duke Witt, Earl Oren, the city of Mill is here!"

Werther turned around and said to several people, "Olein, Theon, you and I will go to Mill City."

"Obey!"

"Obey!"

Chapter 280 The Savior Arrives

A total of 100 personal guards stepped off the white galleon in a neat queue.Influenced by Nymeria, there are more than a dozen women in Werther's personal guard.

Witt’s first criterion for selecting the bodyguards is good looks. Men should not be sissy and cheesy, but have a righteous face, or one that can scare a child to cry with a stare. These two kinds of looks are enough to show off!

The second is that he is tall and powerful. Werther himself is very tall. If a group of dwarves in the personal guards go out, except for a pile of hair, only he stands out from the crowd, which is shameful.

According to Werther's selection criteria, the women in the team are naturally not beautiful. Most of them are from Dorne, and all of them have thick and muscular limbs, and they are not inferior to men in fights.

The pro-guards wore pale gold armor, one-shoulder capes, and antler helmets. 20 people held standard two-handed battle axes and walked at the forefront, opening the way for the team.

The 20 men carried their battle axes behind their backs and followed them in two columns holding banners in both hands.Sixteen of them were crowned stag banners with flames overhead, golden banners that shone brightly in the sun.

The two flags are two fighting swans, one black and one white, following Werther's flag one left and one right in the procession.This belonged to Sir Baron Swann. He was not only the captain of Werther's personal guard, but also Lord Fire Island of the Stone Step Islands. This time Werther was officially visiting as a duke, and as a vassal, he was also qualified to raise the flag.

There are also two silver seahorse flags with a sea-green background. The older people in the port are telling the stories of the families behind the flags to the young people around them.

After that, forty personal guards were divided into left and right columns, protecting the important person Werther and several nobles in the middle.While they were walking, they kept holding two-handed battle axes, and kept turning their heads to inspect the people on both sides. As long as anyone dared to rush to Werther, the giant axes in their hands would immediately smash down.

Following them is a band.

There are a lot of people engaged in art in Tyrosh City, but their identities have not been verified, and they cannot officially travel with Werther according to the system. Only the band that Nymeria left in the castle is eligible.

This is what Tyene told Baron, and Werther didn't know there was such a system at all. He felt that there must be competition among musicians for the qualification to follow the Duke's official visit. What advantage did Tyene give her to give Baron a blowjob? .

The band is all pure Dornish people, male and female, they wear the most fancy clothes and the most fashionable makeup, and the Dornish instruments in their hands are playing the pure music version of the Dragonborn song, which sounds like a snake charmer Same, Werther thinks it is full of curry flavor.

At the end of the team were twenty personal guards. Together with dozens of naval soldiers, they hired several carriages at the port to escort the box containing the golden dragon.

The whole team was full of aura. After gathering in Mill Harbor, they pushed away the onlookers, played music and listened to music with banners, and there was a lot of money in the carriage behind.The Tyroshi walked towards the governor's council mansion in a swaggering manner, quite arrogant!And Werther, who was walking in the middle of the line, just wanted to cover his face with his hands!

"It's enough to have a personal guard, why do you want to have a band! It's not good to influence others all the way!" Werther complained to Owen who was beside him. ....

Baron was blunt, and was about to say that Werther had hired a band when he went to Braavos by himself, but Oren, who was good at perceiving words, took his arm and took the question: "The nobles of the Seven Kingdoms have this tradition, Many nobles don’t have that much money to hire musicians, and as time goes by, only a few dukes go on tour to keep this kind of ceremony. It’s the first time for a musician to accompany Duke Witte on a formal occasion because of his busy schedule.”

Werther thought for a while: "It seems to be true! There are many musicians around Renly, and Robert when he was young. Everywhere he goes, there are musicians, but he sings "The Bear and the Beauty" with a loud voice. "Girl."

Seeing that Werther was not used to it, Oren smiled: "Wait a few more times, Duke Werther will get used to it!"

"I guess I still ride dragons a lot, and I'm more used to being alone." Werther turned his head and looked behind him again: "Theon, Wendell, are you two still used to it in the navy recently?"

"Very good! The army and the mercenary are indeed two different worlds." Theon, who was already tanned, walked behind Werther.

"I've been strengthening my training recently, and I'll be able to train with other soldiers next month!" Wendell, who was beside Theon, had been wiping the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief.During this period of time, he lost a few pounds, which was insignificant considering his original weight. He was so fat that he couldn't even wear armor. Now he was the only one in the Tylosi Navy who didn't receive the standard military uniform and chain armor.

Theon and Wendell, Werther threw the two of them into the navy to practice before.Admiral Oren would not believe that Werther sent the two of them away with a flirtatious sentence, and then he carefully investigated the family background and experience of the two.

Theon is the surviving orthodox heir of the Greyjoyon family. Although the family has been deprived of the title of nobility and territory by the king, after some investigation, Aureen found that Theon's sister, Asha, was a wanted criminal in the past and was still following her. The people around Daenerys recently openly appeared in the tavern in Tyrosh City, and Theon was also sent to the army by Werther's own orders.

The king and Renly also turned a blind eye to this. Orion felt that there was something important hidden in it. He was sure that Theon and his sister would rectify their names in Tyrosh and cancel their identities as wanted criminals.

[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used audio book, integrated with 4 speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and an artifact that supports offline reading,.】

And Wendell is the youngest son of the Earl of White Harbor in the north, and the Earl of White Harbor personally sent him to Werther. It is not as simple as being a big soldier after traveling thousands of miles.Therefore, he arranged two "soldiers" without any titles as his personal guards, who would follow him no matter what happened. This time, he, Baron, Theon and Wendell personally protected Werther.

Now that Werther took the initiative to talk to the two of them, Oren was more certain about his guess.Werther walked ahead, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and Theon and Wendell accepted his favor.

This is the second time Werther came to Mill City. The last time he came here, there were too many things and he only stayed for a day before leaving. He didn't take a good look at the city. Now Mill City is about to become his own territory. Werther is very concerned about every brick in the city. Every tile is very caring, enjoying the white city all the way. ....

The original residents of Mill have black eyes, black hair, olive skin, and slightly curly hair, which is very similar to the Dornish people. The population ratio of free people to slaves is one to three, and all the people who can walk freely on the streets are free people.

The onlookers watched Werther's team, and their eyes looking at Werther's team no longer had the usual dullness and curiosity.From their eyes, Werther only saw fear, greed, unwillingness, and bloodshot madness after extreme despair.

The textile, furniture, glass and brewing workshops all over the city have stopped working, and the shops on both sides of the street are basically closed except for those selling food.Mill City, which used to be prosperous and prosperous in commerce, has become a lifeless place.

The information about Mill has been summarized in the previous information. Due to the multi-layered loan, Werther stopped paying the interest and the principal disappeared. There have been many loan disputes in the city of Mill, and many people who have not paid the money have died Into the sea to feed the fish.

Those who survived continued to deal with other creditors, and there were even creditors above the creditors. Those who tried to get rich overnight ended up losing their money. Violence is now one of the few options for the people of Mir to maintain their lives.

It was the layout controlled by Werther that made Mill City look like this, but there was no trace of guilt in my heart.Mir has fought against Westeros many times. For hundreds of years, Mir's navy has robbed countless merchant ships in pirate clothes, and has a private agreement with the Golden Company. The wealth of the Mir people is stained with blood.Now that Mill has been economically emptied and none of them have been killed, Werther feels merciful.

The guards held their battle axes all the way and did not dare to relax. After the accompanying band changed more than a dozen tunes, the group finally arrived at the Governor's Council, the White Castle in the center of the city of Mir.

After seeing Werther, an old governor took the initiative to go forward and salute, and put his posture very low: "Welcome Duke Werther to Mill City, please forgive us for not welcoming us, there has been a wave of robbers in the city recently, the city defense team is on Get around."

The governors of Mill City were supposed to come to the port to welcome them. Werther also forgave their rudeness in this situation. They are some of the highest-ranking borrowers. If they go to the street at this time, they will probably be beaten to death by debt collectors.

"Understood, understood, Tyroshi is often haunted by pirates!" Werther also followed his words.

"The dinner party is ready, this way please!"

No matter how poor the nobles are, even if they owe a large amount of debt, the nobles' dinners are still extremely sumptuous. During the banquet, there are dancers in cool clothes to add to the fun.

After the banquet is to talk about business.There were seven Governors in the Mill Council, and Werther took Oren, Baron, Theon, Wendell, and Bachelor Macon who was serving in Tyrosh Castle, and six of them participated in the formal talks.

The governors took out a detailed map of Mir's territory and spread it on the conference table. It marked the size of the land and which family it belonged to in various colors and characters. Werther looked at it for a while and pointed to the map: "Everyone How are you going to sell it?"

A fat governor said: "We don't sell, we just lease, but the lease is very long, 50 years!"

Isn't this what I did in the disputed place?These few are still learning really fast, but this set can be used on others, but not on oneself. Witt looked at the seven people and knocked on the table: "Rent? How much rent will it take to pay off these nobles?" debts?" . . .

The fat governor laughed and said, "Actually, I don't have much debt!"

boom!Werther slapped his palm on the table and startled the several governors. Wirter's force value was so high that he could even level the city of Mill if he started a fire.

How much debt did Werther himself not know?The bonds are all printed by themselves!How much they bought is recorded every penny, accurate to one mil iron coin!

"You really think I don't know? What Dragon Bank, I sent you an official document last year, this is not my asset! In order to covet the high interest, you were tricked into buying fake bonds. You want someone else interest, the liar wants your principal! Now the wealth of the entire city has been looted, leaving only those worthless waste paper! Mill has become the laughing stock of the whole world!"

"Duke Witte, we only need a sum of money to turn around!" The governors still didn't give up.

boom!Werther knocked on the table with his knuckles and roared angrily:

"Where did all your money go?"

boom!Another knock.

"Can you find the liar?"

boom!

"How do you get the money back?"

boom!

"Can't find people and money, and then you kill each other to collect debts and avoid debts? Mill collapse?"

The classic Ponzi scheme, not to mention people in this world, even in the 21st century before Werther traveled, this kind of scam can still play people around, and even involve a country.

Under Werther's continuous and forceful questioning, several governors finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sure enough, Duke Witt has already understood what happened. I knew that such a big matter would not be kept secret for long!"

"Duke Witte, please save us!"

"Duke Witte, as long as you can help my family survive this crisis, we will definitely repay you!"

At this time, they didn't care about Mill at all, nor did they care about the people in the city, they only cared about themselves.Witte's expression returned to calm after listening:

"Now that you are in trouble, the Braavosi in the north will only take advantage of the fire, and those fools in Pentos have no idea what is going on. Volantis in the south wants to annex you at any time, and the Lysians will come to rob you, let alone the east. Those savages."

Volantis and Rys were apparently independent, but privately they were their own.In fact, the merchants and armies of Braavos and Pentos have gone south, and now they are blocked by Tyrosh's navy from the Gulf of Myr.Only Werther can pay the Myers now!Or with their own money.

At this moment, Werther opened his hands and spoke loudly to several governors like a savior.

"Only me! Only I will not start a war when you are in trouble. It is easy for me to burn the city with a dragon, but I am a just and kind person. I choose an open and fair way to help you! Only I can Rescue you in danger!" "Duke Witt, it's our lake, the people from the Golden Group deceived us back then, and said a lot of bad things about you, please forgive us." A skinny governor cried bitterly. stand up.

He wiped his hands on his face for a long time but didn't have a tear, and finally covered his eyes with his hands.

"Duke Witt is really different, he is indeed a dragon knight who can be recognized by the dragon!"...

"When we get through this crisis, shall we erect a statue of Duke Werther in recognition of his achievements?"

This group of people began to play the emotional card, flattering and flattering Werther all the time, but Werther would not accept this, and returned to the original question: "How do you guys plan to sell it?"

Seeing that Werther refused to accept the call, several governors looked at each other, and after discussing in a low voice for a while, they took out a pamphlet and handed it to Werther, which recorded the things that various minor nobles were going to sell, such as land, real estate, and property in the territory. Both freedmen and slaves had a price tag.

Werther babbled with them for a while, and finally offered [-]% off the original list price.

"Why don't Duke Werther think about it for a few more days?" The old governor is now looking forward to the arrival of businessmen from other regions, and the price given by Werther is too low.

"Then I'll go? Remember, Braavos, Pentos, Volantis, and Lys, the fleets of the four city-states are all outside the Gulf of Myrtle, and they will come to you as soon as I leave, are you sure? Witte turned his head with a smile, staring back and forth at the seven governors.

"Sell!"

The idiot also knew that if he didn't sell Werther, he would kill people. Now that he would give Werther a face, he could get some money back and run away, and get some kickbacks from other nobles by the way.They are just the governors of Myr. They may have property or a piece of land here, but the entire city-state of Myr does not belong to them, so they don't feel bad about selling it.

Witte held the pamphlet in one hand, and pointed to the map on the table with the other: "Land, here, here, and here, I want all of this whole piece!"

"what!"

Seeing Werther pointing left and right, the land was connected and bought the whole of Mill.

"The land is mine now, and you can only live in other cities. You can go anywhere with this money."

Werther went on to say: "You nobles are gone, and the free men and slaves left on the land can't support them. They all belong to me!"

Several governors sold the city of Mill to Tyrosh, and Werther and the governors issued an announcement that afternoon.

When the governor got rich, all the nobles in Mill City rushed to the castle to collect the debt and the money entrusted to sell the land.But things did not go well. The amount of the sale was much different from the original plan. Once the nobles paid for the land and people, they kept some for themselves. After this calculation, there was no way to pay the creditors.

Werther, who had a night's rest, hadn't gotten up yet. All the streets and intersections in Mill City were blocked by furniture and gravel. Countless people were fighting with each other. There were soldiers against soldiers, people against people, and the nobles divided up most of the money. Now, the people at the bottom are only allocated a small amount, many of which are less than a fraction of what they invested before, and now they are all fighting for their own interests, or they are simply bankrupt, separated from their wives, desperate, and take to the streets to vent their anger. .
