Chapter 140 Illyrio’s trump card (Part 1)



Moreover, the final difficulty of the other two tasks released by mercenary captains Dorian and Rohr was also lower than the theoretical difficulty. Although the reduction was by different amounts, the direction was in the right direction.

This also supports the speculation that the identity of the task publisher is too low to have a negative impact on the difficulty determination.

Will it be the upper limit? Ian suddenly thought, for example, there is one in the mechanism: the tasks issued by people with a knight level or below can only be judged as [medium] at best?

This explains the reason why the difficulty of the tasks issued by Rohr and Dorian was judged as medium. But this does not explain why the mission [Woman in Red Robe] was judged as easy.

Therefore, there must be other factors affecting the judgment mechanism. Ian thought for a long time, and finally shook his head.

In the absence of more samples, he could not make further judgments.

The next step of testing is still needed. But after it is determined that [task issuer] is an influencing factor, the next testing cannot be completed by Rohr.

You must find a task publisher with a higher status to increase the difficulty of the task.

Of course, for those people, I can't directly order them to cooperate. I can only find ways to guide and deceive them.

Soon Ian had the idea that maybe Prince Hazan would be a good experimental subject.

Early the next morning, Ian was invited to have breakfast with Illyrio in a restaurant in Drogo's palace.

"How's it going Ian? Did you have a good rest last night?" Illyrio asked with a smile as he spread the plum jam on the bread.

He always seems to have this expression, and you can't see the joy or anger on his face.

"Not very good, in fact," Ian sneered, "I wanted to tell you this last night. His Majesty Viserys was deceived by Hazan, and he agreed to let Daeron's Water Dancer I am afraid that this will affect your neutrality in Pentos."

Seeing Ian's worried look, Illyrio laughed.

"You don't have to worry about this, I said," Illyrio took a sip of wine, the amber liquid dripping down his greasy golden split beard, "when Oranto took me from Vessey in advance, When Reese stepped aside, I had already guessed Hazan’s purpose.”

"Then why didn't you stop him?" Ian asked puzzledly. This was not pretending, he really didn't know.

"This involves my neutral position." Illyrio thought for a while and asked, "How do you understand my neutrality?"

"Not participating in the dispute between the Volantis Party and the Braavos Party?" Ian said based on the information he 'should' know.

"That's true on the surface, but in fact, the Volantis Party is not important." Illyrio paused, "Speaking of which, did Butler Mills tell you before that my position is biased towards Braavos? ?”

"No, but he should have expressed this meaning."

"Then you're not curious, why am I unwilling to form an alliance with Hazan?"

"I'm sorry," Ian said as if he was confused, "I haven't thought about these things. Does Pentos's party struggle have anything to do with our restoration of the country?"

"Think of it as a learning experience, Ian. You'll need these abilities sooner or later. Westeros is much bigger and more complex than Pentos.

Didn't Viserys appoint you as his Hand of the King last night? "There was an imperceptible sarcasm in Illyrio's expression,

"As the Hand of the King, you will need to know what everyone under your command is thinking, detect their intentions, balance their interests, and influence their positions. Only in this way can you manage a country well."

"Yeah." Ian nodded, suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

It was obvious that Illyrio really trusted him completely now, and was still cultivating himself with the purpose of training the Hand of the King for 'Aegon VI', but he was always thinking about how to plot against him.

But what can we do if we don’t count it? There is only one Iron Throne.

In Illyrio's plan, Daenerys will marry Aegon VI in the future, and then together they will take back Westeros. Is it possible that he will really become their vassal?

A man was born between heaven and earth, how can he live in a state of depression for a long time?

Wait, no, Illyrio couldn't have predicted that Viserys and Drogo would die, that wasn't his original plan.

So what was Illyrio's plan from the beginning?

"Have you figured it out? If so, we'll continue." Illyrio interrupted Ian.

This forced Ian to temporarily put aside his thoughts on the question just now, and said respectfully to Illyrio: "Yes, Your Excellency, please teach me."

"Very good," Illyrio nodded with satisfaction, and then said the answer, "The reason why I don't want to ally with Hazan is because his uncle Tormo Freyga is Uther Antalun's successor in the next term. Aquaman’s rival in the election, and the latter is the one I’m sponsoring.”

It's true, Ian thought to himself, but

"You sponsored Aquaman's campaign?" Do you have that money? Ian was skeptical.

"Do you think that all candidates for Sea King are keykeepers of the Iron Bank? No, no, no," Illyrio read the suspicion in Ian's eyes, and waved his hands repeatedly, "All citizens of Braavos have Qualify to run for Aquaman.

As for General Uther Antalun, he was already my friend when he was still very depressed, just like our king. Although he is now one of the three commanders of the Purple Ship Fleet, he still treats me Be grateful. "

grass! Ian's heart skipped a beat, Commander of the Purple Ship Fleet! No wonder Illyrio dares to have ambitions for the whole of Westeros. It turns out that he still has such a big trump card in Braavos!

If Illyrio's plan all goes well, Uther Antalun wins the Sealord election, Viserys gets the Horselord's army, plus the Golden Company, the Dornishmen, and other Westeros speculators By.

With such a power, even if Westeros does not break out of civil war due to Littlefinger's stirring up the storm, they are enough to challenge Robert Baratheon's rule.

"You seem surprised?" Illyrio interrupted Ian's thinking again.

"I see a glorious future, Your Majesty the Governor." Ian said immediately.

"Don't be too happy, things are not that easy," Illyrio shook his head, "Judging from the current situation, the person most likely to win the next Sea King election is Prince Hazan's uncle Tormo. Freygar, second place is a Keykeeper supported by the current Sea King, and General Uther Antalun can only be ranked third."

Ian originally thought that Illyrio was on the side of the current Sea King, but he didn't expect that he would actually start from scratch and support the third person.

"So, if you were Uther, what strategy would you adopt when facing two such strong opponents?" Illyrio suddenly asked a question.

Ian knew that this was part of 'learning', but this question was a little too simple.

"I don't know. It should be difficult for third place to win, right?" Ian shook his head, saying that this question was too difficult.

"Think, Ian, think." Illyrio was not satisfied with this answer.

"Ally with the second one and deal with the first one together?" Ian thought for a while and gave the most traditional answer.
