A Song of Ice and Fire: The Magic Empire of the Plane Where the Song Begins

When Ai Qi learned that the world that Akatosh helped to locate was the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, he felt very happy. Because if there is no accident, this world will become Aiqi's base camp in the future, and Aiqi's power will gradually extend from this world to various dimensions, and the world of ice and fire is quite a good start.

Don't underestimate the difficulty and consumption of the Gate of Dimensions when traveling through the world. Comparing the world of Azeroth, it can be seen that Gul'dan used tens of thousands of people as sacrifices and tried his best. The fallen guardian Medivh served as a guide and assisted spellcasters in Azeroth before he successfully opened the portal and sent the first batch of orc warriors to Azeroth.

The Dimensional Gate magic used by Ai Qi has many similarities compared with the Dark Portal. It is very difficult to transmit without another mage providing coordinates and spellcasting assistance on the other side of the world.

Although the dragon god Akatosh provided Ai Qi with an astrolabe that can be used to find the coordinates of other worlds, but only on the premise that there is a dimensional gate on one side, the cross-world transmission may only be able to transmit within 10 people. Thanks to Akatosh for helping Ai Qi to choose a world that is more friendly to Ai Qi, and the existence of the will of the world that is still in a state of ignorance (after all, like Azeroth and the existence of star souls) did not contradict Ai Qi The arrival of Qi made it possible for the first transmission to reach thousands of people. Otherwise, it would be necessary to send Ai Qi himself there for the first time, develop his power there, and then create a gate of dimensions, and then two gates of dimensions Casting spells at the same time and reducing the cost of teleportation can bring the army over. The current situation can save Ai Qi a lot of effort.

And the world of Song of Ice and Fire is much easier to use as the starting base camp than the world of The Elder Scrolls. Although the magic in the world of the ancient scrolls is more active, a bunch of true gods always come out to steal the spotlight, not to mention creation gods like Akatosh, plus a vote of demon gods. On the other hand, in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, although the activity of magic is a little bit lower, at any rate, magic used to be prosperous. Ai Qi basically has no effect on casting spells here, and there will be a red comet passing by soon, and the magic of A Song of Ice and Fire will soon spread. Entering the active period is conducive to the improvement of Ai Qi's strength. Moreover, there are basically no high-level spellcasters here, and the appearance of Ai Qi is like a star among a group of ordinary people, which is conducive to the improvement of reputation.

Moreover, the world of A Song of Ice and Fire shows no sign of the true god being active. The Seven Gods, the mainstream belief in the Seven Kingdoms, have not shown miracles at all. Basically, a group of ambitious people use believers to make trouble; It is the haunted ghost outside the Great Wall (although this guy is called the White God by the wild people, it is far from the level of God), and there is an old Three-eyed Raven who doesn't know what he has been doing for thousands of years. ; while the mainstream belief Red God in the east is more like a group of fanatics who rely on fire magic and sacrifice magic to hypnotize themselves. Going down to earth is not a big threat to Ai Qi, and even the Red God's threat is not as good as the infinite ghost of the infinite violence to a certain extent. And the abilities of the remaining spellcasters are not worth mentioning, Ai Qi has a high degree of advantage here.

This is even more so from the perspective of power development. Now Ai Qi mainly develops abilities on the magic side. Due to various considerations in the world of the Elder Scrolls, gunpowder has never been invented. On the battlefield, he mainly fights with cold weapons. If you work hard in the world of the ancient scrolls, you have to face the two huge forces of the Empire and the Stormcloak, and even the political organization of the high elves, Thalmer. Ai Qi's power is now within the tolerance range of several major forces. If it expands again, it may cause resistance from big forces.

Although Aiqi is confident of winning the final victory, when he discovered the world of A Song of Ice and Fire, Aiqi had a new idea, which is to establish a power in A Song of Ice and Fire, dominate one side, and thus feed back the power of the world of the ancient scrolls ,

This is more similar to the routine of developing colonies, although in the long run this colony will become the main base camp.

It is much easier to develop power in the world of A Song of Ice and Fire. After about a year, the continent of Westeros will be in turmoil, and no one has the energy to take care of the affairs of the continent of Essos. As Aiqi's current foothold, the Essos continent has a vast territory, numerous and scattered forces, and the main forces in the west are the nine free trade city-states, which do not belong to each other and have many secret conflicts. Aiqi is confident that in these nine Create a long-term stronghold in the area between the two cities that is not suitable for farming, and quickly build a new dimension gate without stimulating the local forces. , almost ready to wave.

According to Ai Qi's analysis, A Song of Ice and Fire is just in the early stage of the plot, and the big drama will not start until a year later. The situation on the two continents is still very stable. The shelf of power is set up. Fortunately, the mainstream language in the world of the Elder Scrolls, Westeros, and the western region of Essos is English (the reason for this will not be delved into), so at least the subordinates brought by Ai Qi have no problem communicating here, and they can also communicate with each other here. It is convenient for Ai Qi to lay out here.

Ai Qi first took out a large amount of supplies from the Book of Infinity, which is also the benefit of having storage tools. At least the vanguard troops brought by Ai Qi are combat elites and skilled subordinates. No, this ensures the high combat effectiveness of the troops. Anyway, Ai Qi alone is equivalent to the entire grain transportation team. Ai Qi used the large amount of wood, bricks and cement he brought (yes, Ai Qi has invented the relatively elementary cement in the world of the ancient scrolls) and led his men to quickly build a small-scale city wall to ensure that the stronghold can have certain defense capabilities, and then use the various commodities brought in to open up trade exchanges with the cities of Pentos.

You must know that Ai Qi, as the number one merchant in the world of the ancient scrolls, has developed countless products over the years, using a large amount of distilled wine brought by the Book of Infinity, improved mirrors (glass and mirrors already existed in the Middle Ages, but transparency and flatness are low), soap and perfume to open up trade routes. Ai Qi ordered his subordinates to bring the samples to the governor of Pentos, Illyrio Mopatis. This fat man is the one who sheltered the Targaryen brothers and sisters in the opening chapter of A Song of Ice and Fire for half a year, and made Daenerys and Zhuo Governor of the Gokhal wedding. At this time, Illyrio had just taken in the Targaryen brothers and sisters, and decided to support the Targaryen family to benefit from it (or according to the eunuch Varys, choosing the Targaryen brothers and sisters for the sake of the common people). Such a novel commodity immediately attracted the governor's attention.

In fact, Governor Illyrio feels quite unhappy these days. After the governor decided to support the Targaryen family, he found more and more that Viserys Targaryen was just an idiot. A large number of younger brothers will worship at the same time, the common people will be full of gongs and drums, and firecrackers (firecrackers are impossible), crowds of people embrace him as king, so that Illyrio once wanted to assassinate Viserys and then marry him. His sister, Daenerys, then takes over the world on her own. But due to various considerations and reasons, Illyrio gave up this tempting idea and stayed behind the scenes. At this time, Illyrio had already planned to introduce Daenerys to Khal Drogo, the horse king. Give Viserys a sponsorship, there is a brother-in-law of a great warlord, at least it can help.

Illyrio has been studying the feasibility of this matter for the past few days, but this matter requires a lot of funds, and Wesris is sitting on the mountain, and he didn't bring much money when he escaped. He always pays attention to ostentation now. The main pressure is also great. At this moment, Ai Qi's subordinate Arcanist Marcorio came to Pentos with a bunch of goods, which immediately aroused great interest of Illyrio.

Aiqi sent Marco Leo here because he is a pretty good mage, proficient in transformation, destruction and restoration spells. This person can be recruited for 500 oceans in the game, but in reality Aiqi wants to get Mako Leo's allegiance was a waste of effort, after all, the reality is different from the game. By the way, the currency in the world of The Elder Scrolls in reality is also diverse. Unlike the game where all gold coins are used, a wooden bowl is worth one gold coin. Is it made of wood? An apple pie costs 5 gold coins, and a piece of bread costs 2 gold coins... Ai Qi also has copper and silver coins in the world of the ancient scrolls, so there will be no flood of gold coins.

Marcorio's status as a mage can have a high self-protection ability, and he can basically win by surprise in the age when magic is not popular. However, Ai Qi's request is that magic cannot be displayed under the premise of ensuring safety, because it is not the time yet. , which involves a key plan after Ai Qi.

In short, Aiqi took Ma Kelio as a messenger and negotiated a preliminary trade agreement with Illyrio, the Governor of Pentos. There is a reason why Aiqi chose Pentos for trade. Apart from being the closest to Pentos in this world, Pentos itself is weak in military power is also an important factor. Historically, Pentos and Braavos have fought for many years and were finally forced to sign a contract. The peace agreement with the Braavosi stipulates that the Pentos may not have more than 20 warships, hire mercenaries, enter into contracts with free mercenaries, or keep any army beyond the city guard.

Despite its massive walls, Pentos is considered the weakest of the Free Cities. Therefore, it is safest to trade with Pentos, and you don’t have to worry too much about being bullied by the big shop. The facts have proved that this is true. This warlord force who doesn't know where it came from has more than 3,000 elite troops, and then put out this idea. After all, this number of elite troops is not easy to mess with.

Although the tall city walls ensured that Pantos himself was not worried that these 3,000 people would be able to capture Pantos, but Pantos' own military strength was not very good, because he did not fight all the year round, the training was lax, and the defense of the city was okay. After all They have been guarding against the Dothraki people of the grasslands all the year round, but in positional warfare, they have more than enough energy but not enough energy. Even if it wins, it will suffer heavy losses, and its voice in the nine free trade city-states will be further reduced. That's why Pentos can feel at ease to trade with Aiki.

After the trade with Pantos stabilized, Ai Qi began to purchase food and other materials, because after all, there is no way to produce food for the time being, and he can't just sit and eat, and then collect various materials to build the gate of the dimension again.

With the previous experience, the construction speed of the Dimensional Gate was much faster, and it was successfully built soon. In this way, the connection with the world of the Elder Scrolls can also be stabilized, and the transmission consumption between the two Dimensional Gates is greatly reduced. In other words, if necessary, Aiqi can send a large number of troops from the world of the ancient scrolls to the world of song of ice and fire at any time, and can also return to the world of the ancient scrolls to host the form at any time, and the goods between the two worlds can be exchanged at any time, The soldiers change defenses normally, ensuring that there are always 3,000 troops with high morale here, so that Pantos has always thought that Ai Qi's army with only 3,000 people has become a deadly blind spot.

After finishing these things and everything is on the right track, the time has entered July in the 297th year of the Dragon Calendar. Daenerys just turned 13 in May, and Archie will turn 19 next month. In late December of that year, Daenerys will marry Khal Drogo. At that time, Archie will have The big move also marks the beginning of the magnificent story of the entire Song of Ice and Fire. That date is less than 6 months away.

At this time, Ai Qi received new news again. This news was not brought by his subordinates, but the news from the astrolabe sent by Akatosh after the completion of the second dimension gate. Pan searched for another plane that he could travel through. Ai Qi is faced with a choice, should he wait peacefully for 6 months in A Song of Ice and Fire, or go to this unknown plane (crossed out) to explore once?
