Chapter 312 The Archon of Volantis

"Nice to see you again, Aemon."

In the port of Volantis, the air is filled with a strong smell of fish, flowers, feces, decay and decay.

The girl with the fiery red ponytail, Mia, still had two daggers tied to her thighs. After seeing him, she took the initiative to walk over to Viserys to say hello.

Expeditions are naturally not mandatory, and many mercenaries join in and have the right to go back before signing the contract.

After all, everyone knows that exploring the ruins of Valyria is very dangerous, and it can be counted as a near-death experience. If it is not driven to a dead end, no one will choose such a path.

But unfortunately

There are not a few people in this world who are cornered.

"I'm not sure if I'm glad to see you, Mia."

And Viserys, who was wearing a leather armor, heard Mia's voice, turned his head to look at the girl in front of him, shook his head and said.

Mia was the first Volantis he knew, and it was also Viserys who put down the king's air and made a friend as an ordinary person for the first time since he came to this world.

In fact, compared to being a high-ranking king, his words and deeds are watched by countless people. Viserys seems to be more in line with his inner yearning to be free in Volantis these days, because he was an ordinary person in his previous life.

This is a dangerous idea.

Robert thought so too, and then he died.

Since becoming a king was like a canary trapped in a cage, of course he couldn't act recklessly, so Viserys cherished this opportunity to go out alone.

But because of this, Viserys joked that he didn't want to see the girl, because the ruins of Valyria were in danger.

And Mia's character is lively and straightforward, and she naturally understands that it's not that Viserys doesn't want to see her friend, but that she is worried about danger.

"It's okay, I'm glad to see you is enough."

The girl looked very optimistic, squinting her beautiful eyes, and said with a smile.

Mia's appearance may be flawed, and she is not a pretty girl, but her eyes are beautiful and sunny.

"I believe the gods will bless me."

"If He wanted me to die, I would have died many years ago."

When Viserys heard Mia's words, his brows slightly stretched, and a smile appeared.

This kind of free chatting feels really good, instead of facing all the same and respectful faces every day, and Mia's optimistic attitude has also affected him, and his mood has become much more comfortable.

"Do you know our route this time?"

"No, how can we know this kind of secret."

And Mia shook her head like a rattle.

"These are all secrets that only big people can know."

"Too."

Viserys thought about it and nodded in approval, and did not continue to ask.

In his hand, he holds a route map drawn by Jillian back then. This route can theoretically pass through the layers of obstacles in the sea of ​​smoke, and finally reach this lost civilization.

It's just that so many years have passed, and now the gray fog riots, what kind of things and changes must have happened in the sea of ​​​​smoke, this roadmap still doesn't matter whether Viserys does not know.

However, he didn't expect to be able to explore the mystery in one go. The main thing is to follow the large army and let them explore the way. If he fails this time, he can call Bellerion to take him out and look for the next opportunity.

However, while Viserys was chatting with Mia.

woo-

A melodious horn sounded from the port of Volantis, and twenty warships of various sizes were ready.

And there are thousands of explorers standing on the coast, most of them are slaves.

The consul of Volantis is powerful, and the Tiger Party has lost its dominant party position in the nearly three hundred years since its defeat in the bloody century war.

The Elephant Party has been firmly in control of the Volantis government and has maintained a two-seat consulship.

Viserys and Mia were not very conspicuous in the vast crowd. He met the 'boss' who organized this operation, the only consul of the Tiger Party, Malaccio Megya.

This is an old man who has lost all his teeth and has not much hair left. However, he is still in full uniform while riding on the back of an elephant. His eyes are piercing, and he lives up to the reputation of a tiger.

"This is an old tiger, it's best not to mess with him if it's not necessary."

"Eamon."

Mia whispered in Viserys' ear.

Viserys claimed to be an adventurer from Tyrosh in the expedition.

Tyrosh is not far from Volantis but not too close, and Tyrosh also has many silver-haired and purple-eyed people such as Viserys, so it is not a strange thing.

And Tyrosh is very close to Westeros, so some of the residents on the island can speak the common language of Westeros, and Viserys happens to be able to switch between the two languages ​​seamlessly, so there is no doubt about it.

And Viserys nodded slightly when he heard the girl's words.

"Ok, I know."

Immediately, they felt the stern gaze of the Malacco Consul's personal guard swept over, and the two closed their mouths together, not wanting to cause trouble for themselves.

The 'Twilight Tiger' Malajo Megya in uniform is sitting on the back of the elephant, with a straight back and a loud voice, while Viserys below is lacking in interest.

He had heard this cookie-cutter pep talk many times, and he had always played the role of the speaker before.

He had thought his impassioned speeches had brought cheer and morale to the soldiers.

And now in the crowd, Viserys could only hear the low-pitched sneer of the people around him, and the question of whether this old thing could still be 'lifted up'.

"It turns out that listening to the lecture below turned out to be such a taste."

Viserys hadn't heard the talk for so long that he forgot the feeling, and now it seemed that he was going to cut down on speaking time in the future.

And when Viserys was a little distracted.

The old consul Malaccio finally finished his speech, and then the old man rode an elephant and left the scene surrounded by guards.

Of course he didn't go by himself.

Everyone knows that exploring the ruins of Valyria is a matter of life and death, and Volantis has been smashed into the sand several times before.

History has proved that the probability of surviving has increased a lot when there are more people, but no one can guarantee that they must be the lucky one.

This expedition is just a counter-attack by the Tiger Party, hoping to find some ancient technology, precious treasures, even magic, dragon eggs, etc. left by Valyria from the ruins.
