Chapter 88 Dragon Egg
In fact, Viserys already knew about Pantos's careful thinking.
This is a conspiracy of the Pantos governors, who hope to take this opportunity to divide the close relationship between Braavos and Andalos.
Andalos, as a buffer zone between Pentos and Braavos, is now growing stronger and stronger, and will naturally seek ways to get rid of Braavos' influence.
And what Pantos hopes is to push Andalus to "rebellion", so that Pantos can also seize the opportunity, stay away from Braavos, and tear up the shameful treaty to become a normalized city-state.
Pantos thought that this would be a hit-and-run cooperation, but Viserys didn't want to be that early bird, and it was even less likely that he would fall into a trap and die for Pantos.
He just wants to develop silently, farm with peace of mind, and seek changes when the time is right.
After all, Andalos is a city that rose up with the secret support of Braavos, and Andalos' finances also depend on the help of the Iron Vault, and he owes several low-interest loans from the Iron Vault.
But even if Viserys already knew about Pantos's little Jiujiu, he still had to make such a trip for the dragon egg.
After all, these three dragon eggs were too important to him.
But Viserys must also consider that if he gets too close to Pantos, it will inevitably affect the partnership with Braavos.
Therefore, Viserys proposed to lead the army at that time, which was equivalent to telling Braavos and everyone that he did not trust Pantos.
There is no intimate connection between the two secretly, just for the sake of the dragon egg, it is necessary to travel.
…
soon.
Viserys, accompanied by Illyrio, entered the depths of the palace, and the princes and governors of Pentos's generation had already come here.
"This is from the distinguished Rodney family, Prince Pantos."
Illyrio stood beside Viserys and introduced.
Prince Pantos was selected from forty noble families and could not refuse the appointment. The last prince who escaped the appointment formed a mercenary group and has not been able to return to his hometown.
And Viserys raised his head and looked at the highest part of the hall, which was a throne made of ivory and gold, on which sat a man dressed in gorgeous clothes with a dull expression.
He is the present-day Prince of Pentos, and takes the honorable Rodney as his surname.
And beside him there are three messengers, respectively holding a golden scale symbolizing trade, a steel long sword symbolizing war, and a silver long whip symbolizing law.
"Dear guest, welcome."
After Illyrio finished introducing, Prince Pantos said in a dull voice.
Viserys narrowed his eyes slightly, then glanced beside him, and did not speak immediately.
The attendant Bessie, who was standing behind the little king, stood up at this time, walked to Viserys' side, and introduced loudly.
"This is the king of the Andals, the Royna and the First Men, the legitimate ruler of the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros and the guardian of the whole territory, the Apostle of the Seven Gods, the 'True Dragon' Viserys Targaryen III. "
Knight Bessie's loud voice echoed repeatedly in the spacious hall.
Viserys looked at the sluggish Prince Pantos, then nodded slightly and said.
"Your Majesty."
Viserys' voice fell, but the hall was silent. The prince of Pantos was like a piece of wood.
However, there was only a moment of silence in the hall, and then a voice came from the upper right of Viserys, breaking the silence in the hall.
"Welcome to Pentos, King of Targaryen."
Viserys turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the voice. A gray-haired old man was sitting on the upper right of the steps of the main hall, wearing a golden medal on his chest. It was the person who spoke. he.
"This is the governor from the Green family."
Illyrio introduced in a low voice again.
Viserys nodded slightly, and at the same time his eyes swept around the surrounding environment. Several chairs were placed around the steps of the main hall, and on each chair was a Pantos. the Governor.
Some of them were gray-haired old men, some were middle-aged men as potbellied as Illyrio, and some were even younger.
However, their attire is also different. There is even a middle-aged man with a golden curtain in front of him. Only his legs are exposed. He can't see his cheeks clearly. world.
"Please take a seat, Your Majesty."
Then came the voice of a governor of Pantos from the direction of Viserys' left. The governor looked a little young, maybe only about thirty years old.
Viserys nodded slightly, and then, under the guidance of Illyrio, also climbed the stairs to the position next to Illyrio above the main hall, and sat down.
After arranging for Viserys to be seated, Illyrio whispered a few words to the servant beside him, and then sat down on the chair.
Not too long has passed.
The two servants carefully carried a heavy box up the stairs and placed it in front of Viserys.

Then the servant opened the box with the key, and the three dragon eggs were neatly placed in the box, and a layer of soft lantern grass was used as a support.
"This is the dragon egg"
Viserys' eyes fell on the three dragon eggs in the box, and his fingers clenched slightly involuntarily. Even though Viserys was very good at mastering his emotions, he couldn't help but feel a little faster at this time.
Afterwards, the little king stretched out his hand and picked up a dragon egg to examine it carefully.
When I first touched the dragon egg, I felt a little cold to the touch. The surface of the eggshell was covered with tiny scales, and the light in the hall shone on the dragon egg with a polished luster.
Rich in texture and color, they look like fine ceramics or enamels or blown glass up close, but dragon eggs are much heavier than these, like a solid stone.
Viserys felt that the huge dragon egg was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen in his life.
"His Majesty."
"Since these dragon eggs were acquired by Lord Illyrio, there has been no movement in his hands for so many years."
And at this moment, the old governor who started to speak again took the lead in speaking.
"It seems that apart from the heirs of the real dragon, no one has been able to hatch a dragon."
