Chapter 161 Ian’s layout (Part 1)
"I don't quite understand." After hearing this, Celia looked at Ian in disbelief, "I originally thought you were a very rational person, but compared to my plan, the benefits of your plan have not been significantly improved, right? ?"
"The income may not increase much, but it can reduce a lot of troubles," Ian shook his head. "Your appearance gave me a strong warning that it is far easier to rudely destroy the plot than to maintain it.
If you can plan to kill Illyrio here, will someone go to Lazarin in advance to kill the witch who killed Drogo? If Drogo doesn't die, what will we do then?
Or, will there be a player who knows that Daenerys cannot be approached in Illyrio, so he simply starts the game with the Dothraki and waits for us in the Horse King's Kalsari?
If so, is it possible that he has achieved high status? After all, there are no such rules and regulations among the centaurs. As long as you can ride a horse, shoot an arrow, and use an arakh scimitar, you can gain their approval. Players only need to increase their force value to become famous among the centaurs. Not difficult.
If we were to follow the original route, we would not only need to worry about someone changing the ending of Drogo's death in some way, but also need to be wary of possible players in the centaurs tribe, which would be very troublesome.
Of course, I wouldn't mind fighting them if I had no other choice, but obviously I have a better choice now, right?
Let us rudely destroy the plot, which will make all players who plan to use the Dragon Mother story line in the original work to achieve any purpose have their hopes in vain, and it will harm others and benefit themselves. Why not do it? "
"That seems right?" Celia sneered, "Okay, I will take care of all this. I will find the ship you want and give Hazan a warning as you said. But just like this Is it enough?"
"Of course, just leave the rest to me." Ian nodded, and then seemed to remember something, "By the way, I brought you a gift this time."
"A gift?" Celia looked at Ian strangely, "Is it something to make the little girl happy?" The expression on her face clearly said that if you can talk while doing exercise, I will kill you if you pretend to be stupid. What kind of pervert would do this kind of thing?
"a cat."
"Cat? Do you think I will need a pet?" Celia was even more weird.
"I ask you to keep it with you, no matter what you do, never let it leave its sight." Ian ignored Celia's question and stated his order.
"That cat... is you?" Celia realized. The cat was a creature controlled by Ian using shape-shifting magic, and Ian's consciousness would monitor himself through the cat's body. "You don't believe me?"
"We still have a long time to build trust in the future, but now I hope you stay under my sight. This shouldn't be too much to ask, right?" Ian gently combed Celia with five fingers. Smooth brown hair.
"I suddenly want to know, what position do I occupy in your future plans?"
"secretary."
"You're a fucking genius too."
"I have something urgent to see His Excellency Illyrio. It's very, very urgent." After Ian returned to Illyrio's mansion, he hurried outside Illyrio's residence.
When the captain of the Unsullied guarding the door saw Ian in such a panic, he naturally did not dare to neglect him. He immediately turned around and ran into the door to report. In less than twenty seconds, he ran out again and invited Ian in.
Ian didn't hesitate at all, walked through the corridor that was very bright under the candlelight, and went straight to the living room.
Seeing that Illyrio was not there, he opened a door on the right and rushed into Illyrio's study.
When Illyrio saw Ian being so rude, he subconsciously wanted to scold him, but when he looked up and saw Ian's pale face and sweating profusely, his words changed to: "What's wrong? ? I'm getting ready to go out, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"Something bad has happened, Your Majesty the Governor. Prince Hazan plans to deal with you!" Ian lowered his voice, but Illyrio could clearly see his impatience.
"Hazan plans to deal with me?" Illyrio was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I have not received any relevant reports, and Hazan is still in such big trouble, what will he use to deal with me? "
"Hazan and Governor Tetrus have formed an alliance. Tomorrow's competition is simply a deceit created by their conspiracy!" Ian directly dropped the bombshell.
"What did you say?" Illyrio suddenly stood up, the fat on his body swaying slightly with the violent movements. Ian had never seen Governor Illyrio look so out of sorts.
Later, Ian told Illyrio Hazan's detailed plan, which omitted the player part, and Illyrio's face became more and more serious.
"That's what happened. When I went to the Red Temple this afternoon, I agreed to Hazan's sister's request for marriage, and then they shared their plan with me." Ian added after finishing speaking.
"Thank you, Ian, for your loyalty." Illyrio gave Ian a hug, which almost made him breathless. "I read you right. Go and clean up. Call the King and Princess. , let’s escape now.”
"escape?"
"Otherwise? Their army is ready, but I am almost unprepared. I have no confidence to fight this tough battle with them. Let's leave the city first. Drogo's KaLS is outside the city. I want to kill these shameless people. Pay the price!" Illyrio said, clenching his fists.
"You want to lure the Dothraki into the city? Those savages don't care what your purpose is. Once they enter the city, they will definitely plunder all of Pentos! This is your Pentos!" Ian couldn't accept it. The ground shook his head.
"Otherwise, what else can we do? If I had noticed their actions a month or even two weeks ago, I would have had countless ways to deal with them, but their actions will be tomorrow! Except for the Dothraki, I Where can we find an army that can fight them?" Under such a tight time schedule, Illyrio could only think of this last resort.
"I suddenly thought of an idea, Lord Governor," Ian said. "In fact, while Hazan's sister shared their plan with me, she also asked me to do something for them."
"Oh? No wonder they want to share the plan with you in advance. So they want you to help?"
"Prince Hazan is worried that after attacking you, your subordinates, such as Butler Mills, will detain His Majesty the King and His Majesty the Princess in the mansion, and then threaten them with the lives of His Majesty's brothers and sisters.
Drogo's karsa is just outside the city. If there is a problem with the safety of Her Royal Highness, Drogo will definitely be furious. This threat can be effective. So Hazan's sister hopes that I will remove Her Royal Highness from your palace before they start to act. He stole out of the mansion and took him to the mountaintop temple for refuge.
The temple on the top of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. They only need to deploy 50 crossbowmen there to ensure that your army cannot recapture the princess before their operation is over, and they will not be threatened. "
"So what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Before I succeed, Hazan and the others will not take action. There will be a buffer time during which you can do some things in the Palace of Parliament."
Ps: The most difficult chapters of the book have finally been written. Judging from the subscription situation, many readers are not very interested in the reasoning part (so there will be no more in the future), but these chapters are indeed the entire Pantos volume. The core of the story, all the clues and foreshadowing explanations in the first half of the volume are in these chapters, and all the foreshadowing in the climax of the second half of the volume are also in these chapters.
