Chapter 83 The City of Wood

"Governor Pentos?"

The silver-haired boy hugged his helmet and felt a little strange when he heard the guard's words.

Over the years, they have developed peace of mind on the Andas Plain and the water of the Pantos well has not violated the river. Although the two sides are not far apart, they are still blocked by the Velvet Mountains. In addition to normal commercial and civil exchanges, the two city-states There is almost no high-level dialogue.

Viserys did not expect that he did not know where the sun came out today, and that Pantos actually sent a governor to Andalos.

Viserys is very clear that Pentos is theoretically governed by Prince Pentos, but in fact, the power of Prince Pentos has been emptied by the governors long ago, and now only the function of ceremonies is left to preside over meetings. And festive feasts, today Pentos is actually ruled jointly by the governors.

"Since Your Majesty has something to deal with, then I'll leave first."

And Sir William opened his mouth with a hoarse voice on crutches, Viserys nodded slightly, and then Sir William left the racetrack. Today is the time to drink medicine, and he has to go to the bachelor to prepare some decoctions.

The figure of the coach was gone, and Bessie was still following Viserys' side. As Viserys' bodyguard, he naturally had to protect the little king's safety at all times.

Although he was not officially named the Kingsguard, because as the younger brother of the former 'Mad King' Kingsguard Jon Darryl, the trainer believed that these people were not qualified to compete with his brother, and now they are even more unable to take on the Kingsguard. name.

But in addition to a title, Bessie also already has duties equivalent to the Kingsguard.

And Viserys pondered for a while, and then asked again.

"Do you know the name of this Governor Pentos?"

The guard who came to report heard Viserys' question and thought for a moment, and then replied respectfully.

"Your Majesty, I heard their conversation. The governor of Pentos seems to be called Illyrio Morpatis."

"Illyrio Morpatis."

Viserys heard the name and felt a little familiar, and then seemed to remember something, lilac eyes narrowed slightly and nodded.

"I see."

"Go and invite this Lord Governor to wait in the hall."

"clear."

The guard received Viserys' orders and backed away.

Then Viserys left the school grounds with his bodyguards.

And above the castle.

A brown-haired girl stood by the window and looked at Viserys' receding back, then pursed her lips and snorted softly.

She seemed to be still pissed off with Viserys about the fact that she wanted to get out of town a few days ago, but was stopped.

Just now, she witnessed the lance competition between Viserys and the guard knight. She was shocked when Viserys' lance suddenly broke, and exclaimed, she was afraid that something would happen to Viserys.

However, it was a matter of lightning and flint. Fortunately, in the end, it was just a false alarm. The knight named Bessie lost the contest and was shot down by his 'brother', and the girl patted her chest. Take a breath.

Because of the small age difference, and because of the fact that they had been attached to each other for life, Renis actually always regarded Viserys as her brother in her heart.

Then she found that Viserys was riding a horse with a broken lance, and raised his head strangely and looked in the direction of the castle.

He seemed to have just heard the voice of a girl exclaiming.

And Reness saw this scene, and then she remembered that she seemed to be angry with Viserys, and then hurriedly hid behind the curtain.

It wasn't until now that Viserys and his squires had left, that Rhaenys got out from behind the curtains again.

In her hand, she was holding a timid-looking little girl with silver-blond hair.

The little girl heard the liveliness outside the window, and then stepped on the small stool and leaned against the window to look out, but because of her height, she couldn't see the scenery outside the window.

"Okay, Daenerys, don't be naughty."

"I'll throw you down in a while."

And Reness noticed the dangerous movement of the little girl and hurriedly carried her off the small stool.

Illyrio Morpatis rode a carriage into the rumored "city of wood" Andalos.

The carriage staggered along the smooth road, and then a thick, jeweled finger lifted the veil of the carriage.

The fat man sat in the carriage and was looking out curiously at the moment. He had an oily yellow bifurcated beard and jagged yellow teeth, and he wore a gemstone ring on each finger.

He is Illyrio Mopatis, the rich merchant governor of Pantos. Although Pantos is not very far from Andalos, it still needs to travel by land.

In his youth, Illyrio was a poor assassin with a strong physique, but now Illyrio has lost the ability to ride a horse because of his lack of exercise and serious out-of-shape body. Now it feels like he has traveled thousands of miles to Andalus in a carriage. The ass is about to be smashed.

"I swear! This is the last time I will ride in a carriage!"

"Abe!"

"Come and rub my waist!"

Illyrio sat in the carriage looking at the scenery of the City of Wood outside the window, and at the same time ordered the servants beside him, the servant named Abe hurried to the master's body to massage his sore waist and abdomen.

And Illyrio snorted a few times, adjusted his sitting posture and continued to look out the window with a little curiosity in his eyes.

Andalus is rumored to be called the City of Wood in the outside world, because the speed at which the city is pulled up is extremely amazing. After Viserys Targaryen came to the Andas Plain, in the name of the Apostle of the Seven Gods and the king of the Andals, he called All the Andals came together and founded the city.

Because of the need to quickly gain a foothold, there were more than tens of thousands of people in the early stage, and even if Targaryen accumulated a lot of wealth on Dragonstone, it would not be able to withstand such profligacy.

For the first time, Viserys learned that mobilizing a large army for battle can cost astronomical amounts of money even for a day.

So when you come to a new city, you must quickly establish a foothold and start production, trying to be self-sufficient.

Therefore, Andalos, a miraculously fast-rising city, was built entirely of wood in the early days, and then it was named the City of Wood.

But that all changed a bit in the fire that happened two years ago.

A fire that was not known to be a natural or man-made disaster burned one-fifth of the city of Andalos. Thousands of people were burned to death in this fire, but the economic loss was not very big.

Because Andalos has risen rapidly, but the economic level is not high, even if it is a fire, there is nothing to burn.

However, Viserys was still in pain at that time, slowed down the expansion of the city, and started some renovation projects, gradually knocking down some wooden houses and rebuilding them into stone houses.

And it all started from his castle.
