Game of Thrones: Knight of Glory

This season, sailing south from Braavos was against the ocean current, but with a favorable wind. The ship did not go particularly fast, and it took a full nine days on the road to return to Pantos.

After returning to Pantos, Linde was originally going to leave for Qohor immediately, but an unexpected incident made him change his mind and stay in Pantos for a few days.

The unexpected event was that in a few days, someone would be selling a batch of extremely rare Pteranodon eggs in Pentos.

As early as Linde read the records about the long-winged dragon from Moroya's book, he came up with the idea of ​​getting a batch of long-winged dragon eggs to hatch, see if he could tame the long-winged dragon, and then form a team. A team of long-winged dragon cavalry.

Although the long-winged dragon cannot breathe fire like the giant dragon, and its attack power is not as good as the giant dragon, it can fly and is strong enough to carry people flying, which is enough.

Because in his vision, the long-winged dragon cavalry would not directly land on the ground to fight with people. They would become scouts for the army and an attacking force during sieges. For example, they would bring a large amount of wildfire and throw it directly from the air to the high ground. Wall protection or castle built on natural cliffs.

However, what makes him regretful is that he has not been able to obtain the long-winged dragon egg, because the long-winged dragon is very dangerous and inhabits the continent of Sothoros. According to records, this beast still lives in groups. Long-winged dragon eggs Being closely protected by the Longwing Dragon group, if you want to get the Longwinged Dragon egg, you need to face the entire Longwinged Dragon group, and the difficulty can be imagined.

You know, in the books of the famous Brother Bath, it was mentioned that the dragon may have been created by the Valyrian blood wizard using blood magic and the winged dragon. Therefore, even if it cannot breathe fire, the combat power of the winged dragon It is definitely far superior to ordinary beasts.

After discovering that he couldn't buy long-winged dragon eggs, Linde also planned to go to the continent of Sothoros and get a batch of long-winged dragon eggs by himself when he had time.

Now that someone has obtained a batch of long-winged dragon eggs from the Sothoryos continent, Linde naturally does not need to waste that time and energy.

Since he was going to participate in the auction, money was naturally indispensable. Although Illyrio himself had money, Lind did not intend to let Illyrio pay for the money, and he had no intention of attending the auction himself.

So he went to the Miracle Chamber of Commerce's branch in Pantos and asked the director of the branch to represent the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in the auction.

Then he thought of something else and asked the branch director: "Do you know who got these Long-Pterodactyl eggs? If he can still get Long-pting Dragon eggs, we can make a long-term deal with him."

"I think the other party may not want to do a long-term deal with us." The branch director replied: "The person who got these pterosaur eggs is Euron Greyjoy."

"Has Euron Greyjoy finally appeared after hiding for so many years?" Lind was stunned and said in a deep voice, "Why did he suddenly come to Pentos to sell the Winged Dragon eggs?"

"This also has something to do with us." The branch director explained: "Euron Greyjoy tried to sneak across the Stepstone Islands, and was discovered by the fleet of the Three Sea Monsters Alliance. There was a conflict. He sank two of our ships. Killed dozens of our sailors. Later, Lady Asha piloted the Black Wind to intercept Euron's ship, and chased him all the way from the Stepstone Islands to the sea off Pentos, sinking all three ships under Euron's command. The Serenity also suffered heavy losses. If Lady Asha hadn't been willing to break our agreement with Pentos and stopped in time, perhaps Euron's keel would have sunk into the sea. It’s beyond repair and needs to be bought a new one, so Euron put the precious long-winged dragon eggs up for auction.”

After hearing the branch director's explanation, Lind couldn't help but touch his forehead. He couldn't help but wonder if he had trained Asha and the other three sea monsters so well that even Euron could suppress them.

Although Asha and others are riding the best warships in Linde's hands, this does not mean that Asha and the others' naval combat capabilities can only rely on the strength of the ship. In the total combat power, the captain's intelligence and ability, and the crew's combat capabilities Ability, fleet coordination, etc. are all key factors that can influence the outcome of a naval battle.

The Three Sea Monsters, who have participated in various large and small naval battles all year round, are already considered to be at the top of the world in terms of maritime combat capabilities. At least from Asha's ability to hunt down Euron with a single ship, it can be seen that their naval combat capabilities have reached What level.

Lind was also a little surprised by Euron's sudden appearance, because Euron seemed to have disappeared since the Iron Islands Rebellion and had not appeared again.

That year, Euron escaped from prison, robbed a ship in Lannisport, and disappeared at sea.

Later, there were rumors that he took advantage of the gap between Balon Greyjoy's return to the Iron Islands and the Iron Throne to supervise the evacuation of the fleet, and looted the Iron Islands, and escaped with a large number of people and ships.

This incident caused Balon Greyjoy to be so angry that he even blamed Euron for his resentment at being defeated and captured by the Iron Throne, and publicly announced that he would hunt Euron indefinitely.

Later, there was news that the Redwyne fleet on the Arbor and Euron Greyjoy encountered each other on the Summer Sea near the Summer Islands, and a naval battle took place, in which a third of the Redwyne fleet was lost. The ship, Euron completely disappeared, and since then, there has been no news about Euron.

Because of some speculations about Euron Greyjoy in his previous life, Linde has always paid close attention to him. Therefore, even though it was rumored that Euron had sunk to the bottom of the sea during the battle on the Summer Islands, he still let the scattered people Miracle merchants around the world gather information about Euron.

Over the years, we have indeed collected some information whose authenticity cannot be determined. For example, a great pirate similar to Euron appeared in the waters south of Slaver's Bay, and there are also rumors that he was seen near the ruins of Valyria. Pass Euron's Serenity.

Linde also sent people to understand these situations, but found nothing.

Now it seems that Euron must have been wandering in the waters of the Sothoros continent in these years. From the fact that he was able to obtain many long-winged dragon eggs, it can be seen that he should have also conducted some in-depth exploration of the Sothoros continent.

However, what makes Lind a little confused is why Euron Greyjoy forced his way through the Stepstone Islands and also had a conflict with his own people.

Logically speaking, after Euron regained his strength, he should go to the Iron Islands to find trouble with Balon Greyjoy, but now he inexplicably had a conflict with the fleet on the Stepstone Islands, and was beaten to a pulp by Asha. , even his own car was beaten beyond repair. What was his purpose in doing this?

Although Euron is known for being crazy, both in his previous life and in the current world, being crazy does not mean that he has no brains. Only when the benefits he can obtain far exceed the losses will he make such an abnormal move.

"Is Euron in the city now?" Lind asked the supervisor.

The branch director shook his head and said: "He disappeared on the first day ashore, and now his deputy, a mute from the Summer Islands, is in charge of affairs."

"Are you hiding?" Linde frowned and asked, "Can we find him?"

"It's difficult." The supervisor explained: "Many people in the city are looking for him now. It is said that besides the eggs of the pterosaur, he has other good things on hand. But those things were all taken away before the Serenity landed. He had hidden him, and many people hoped to find him and get those good things. However, after searching for so many days, there was still no clue. Some people speculated that Euron was no longer in Pentos. "

"Since I can't find it, forget it." Lind thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to the branches and contact points of each chamber of commerce and ask them to pay close attention to Euron Greyjoy's movements."

"Yes, sir." The supervisor responded.

In the next few days, Linde stayed in a house secretly purchased by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce in Pantos. He listened to various news reports from the Chamber of Commerce every day. When necessary, he would make some disguises to stay in Pentos City. Hang out and have a leisurely time.

However, it has been a bit bad for the Governor of Pentos these past few days, because as the merchant ships returning to Pentos from Braavos docked, various events that have occurred in Braavos recently have This kind of thing also spread to Pentos. After hearing the news, almost all the governors of Pentos made the same guess, that is, Linde was in Pentos.

The reason for such speculation is entirely because the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, which was originally not interested in the long-winged dragon eggs, suddenly joined the auction and showed that it was determined to win the long-winged dragon eggs, and the whole world could There is only one person who influences the decisions of the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, and that is its master behind the scenes, Lynde Terra.

Unknowingly, Linde's influence in the Free Trade City has gradually become greater than imagined. He doesn't even need to appear in person. Just a guess has already attracted the high-ranking governors like Pentos. Tremor.

At this moment, the sea banshee Asha Greyjoy is leading her banshee fleet to wander off the coast of Pentos. It seems like she is intercepting Euron Greyjoy, but in fact, she is coming for something. No one knows about it, and some people have seen the appearance of Linde's sea dragon Glutton in the open sea, which is even more unsettling.

Among the governors of Pentos, those who were originally interested in the Winged Dragon eggs began to give up their decision to fight for the Winged Dragon eggs, because in their opinion, there was no need to offend Lind for something that could only be used as an ornamental object. After all, Linde's threat is real.

The auction was held as scheduled, and there were no surprises throughout the process. In the end, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce collected the long-winged dragon eggs at a price close to the reserve price, in order to offset some of the oppressive measures taken to successfully auction the long-winged dragon eggs. Due to the negative impact, the Miracle Chamber of Commerce took out five Seven Mysterious Medicines and put them up for auction, and stated that it would purchase long-term Winged Dragon eggs at the same price as the current auction price.

Undoubtedly, everyone was very satisfied with the compensation from the Miracle Chamber of Commerce. Not to mention that the Miracle Chamber of Commerce would still purchase long-suffering dragon eggs at high prices in the future. Just the five Seven Mysterious Medicines had made all their dissatisfaction disappear. .

Countless cases in the past have proven the life-saving effect of the Seven Mysterious Medicines. For these governors who are in high positions and must always be on guard against deadly attacks from the dark, life-saving things like the Seven Mysterious Medicines are simply priceless. .

It is a pity that the production of the Seven Mysterious Medicines is very small. The number of Seven Mysterious Medicines released to Pantos every year does not exceed ten, but now five of them are directly auctioned. This undoubtedly makes all the governors excited. Even some governors who did not attend the auction rushed to the auction venue and participated in the bidding after hearing the news.

In the end, the five Seven Mysterious Pills were sold for an auction amount that far exceeded their normal selling price. Although the governors who bought the Seven Mysterious Pills paid more money for it, they were still satisfied.

After the auction, many people began to pay attention to the whereabouts of the long-winged dragon eggs purchased by the Miracle Chamber of Commerce, because they felt that they might be able to follow these long-winged dragon eggs and find Lind Terra hidden in the city.

As a result, what they saw was that the Miracle Chamber of Commerce transported the long-winged dragon eggs directly from the auction hall to the dock, handed the items to the sea witch Asha Greyjoy who had been waiting there, and transported them back to Midsummer. hall territory.

When the people from the Miracle Chamber of Commerce handed the long-winged dragon egg to Asha, Lind, dressed as a mercenary, had already mixed up with the archaeological team of the Sphinx Courtyard and left Pantos.

The archaeological team of the Sphinx Academy is also led by a bachelor monk. The people who follow him are all his students. Together with the servants and guards, the number is about fifty.

The ancient ruins that the monks want to excavate this time are in Gor Dohor. This ancient city was built by the Rhoynar. During the war with Valyria, it was burned by the Dragon King, and the Rhoynar were forced to flee. Dorne was eventually completely abandoned.

However, the monuments that Xiu Fu unearthed were not those of the Rhoynar people, but the remains of a much older civilization. The Rhoynar people were just Ge Dohor built on its ruins.

This ancient ruins had been discovered a long time ago, and all the valuable things inside had been taken away, leaving only some ruins. The reason why the monk was still interested in this place was because he found that the ancient ruins were still there. Part of it is buried underground. That part of the ancient ruins should still be intact and have research value, so I have applied to the college for funds to excavate the ancient ruins a long time ago.

It's just that for such a long time, the college has always rejected his application due to insufficient funds. The reason why it agreed this time is entirely because Xiu Fu's recent proposal to relocate the college was well supported by the college's bachelors and scholars. It caused a lot of trouble to the dean, but the dean couldn't punish Xiu Fu, so he simply found a way to send Xiu Fu out and let him come back after the matter calmed down.

Bachelor Xiufu naturally knew what the dean was thinking. He was also very clear about the dean's feelings for Pantos. He knew that if he had not really reached the point of desperation, it would be impossible for the dean to agree to remove the Sphinx Academy from Pentos. Relocated.

Therefore, he did not refuse the dean's move to expel him. He just left the follow-up matters to Illyrio. He believed that with Illyrio's methods, when he returned to Pentos from Ge Doho, The stubborn dean should have different ideas.

Xiu Fu didn't know that Lind had joined his team, because Lind was disguised as a mercenary from Braavos, wearing the mask that Jia Kun gave him when he left Braavos.

Therefore, he had no intention of contacting Bachelor Xiufu. He just waited until he got Ge Duohe and separated directly.
