"We beat them and tortured them, and found out that the rebels had actually dispersed at the crossroads, with some remaining nearby, while those with Valyrian steel swords headed south.

So the first mate of the Laughing Lion and I decided to split up. I led people to annihilate the remaining rebels at the crossroads, while he went to King's Landing to track the traces of the other group.

Until a week ago, I received news from the first mate that he had found clues about the other party. The traitors may have been hiding in Flea Bottom in King's Landing. "

"And where is the first mate?" Sir Grantham asked.

"I don't know either. Logically speaking, he should be waiting for me here. Maybe something unexpected happened, but fortunately, he mentioned some clues in his letter to me."

"Then why don't you go to the Red Keep to ask for help? Isn't Her Majesty a member of your Lannister family?" Grantham asked doubtfully.

After breakfast the next day, Ian met the person he wanted to see as he wished.

A group of about six or seven sailors came to Ian's courtyard, and Ian invited the leader and the first mate and second mate on his ship into his hall.

After entering the house, the leader took off his hood, revealing a weather-beaten and thin face. His light blue eyes looked at Ian, revealing a trace of consideration.

"Ser Lucian Lannister, son of Ser Gillian Lannister," Ian introduced himself first, and then pointed to Grantham beside him, "This is Ser Grantham, my captain of the guard. .”

"Corrian Sussman, the captain of Shayala's Dance. This is my first mate Sadow, and this is second mate Burris. I think you already know him. After all, he is the one who asked me to come to see you. "Kelian looked at Ian, "I heard that you have something to ask us for help?"

"Please take a seat, friends, I've got some wine for you. This is a long story."

In the following time, Ian told Colin and the others the story he had told Grantson before.

In fact, the reason why Ian told Grantham before was so that Grantson could raise questions and improve the loopholes in the story.

After all, he and Grantham already have a solid employment relationship. Even if there are problems with his story, it will not affect his service to him. However, the version of the story in front of Corian and the others must be perfect.

"So." After Ian finished telling the story, "If you can help me with my counter-insurgency activities, I will eventually pay you a reward of 200 gold dragons."

"200 silver deer? Sorry, I didn't hear clearly." Burris was shocked. This was a number beyond his imagination.

Although he is now engaged in the most profitable long-sea trade in this era, even if they go on a voyage from Westeros to the city of Yi on the coast of the Jade Sea, a sailor can only get two or three golden dragons at most. Even if he He is the second mate on the ship, and he has only received less than 20 gold dragons during a nearly one-year voyage.

"200 golden dragons. If your final contribution is large enough, this number can be increased." Ian said with certainty.

"How long do we need to serve you?" Burris continued. If it is not long, then this can be regarded as a very good deal.

"It depends on how quickly we find those traitors, maybe one week, maybe two weeks, but most likely it won't be more than two weeks." Ian promised.

In his plan, if he could not find a clear clue within three days, he would buy the fourth clue in the mall, because delaying it would affect his subsequent trip to Pentos. "

"But why us?" This time it was captain Corian who asked. His question was almost exactly the same as Grantham's. "Why don't you just go to the Red Keep to borrow troops? Aren't you a Lannister?"

"Because my father died in the previous rebellion, and my father and mother had a secret marriage. My mother was a commoner and was not recognized by the Lannister family. I need that Valyrian steel sword. , Only by finding that sword can Uncle Tywin face my value, allowing me to have a true Lannister identity.

If I go to the Red Keep in despair, I will only get a joke from Jaime. He told me before we set sail that it was impossible for us to find the clan sword. And if I go to him like this, let him take it with him. The house's guard went to retrieve the Valyrian steel sword. Then all this will have nothing to do with me, the glory will belong to him, and I will always be just an unrecognized Lannister who has lost his father. "

"You're talking about Jaime as the 'Kingslayer'? Oh, sorry, no doubt I was offended."

"Yes, he is my cousin."

"He may have left King's Landing and followed the king's team. They set off early this morning and were said to be heading to Winterfell. Well, of course, that's not important. What's important is that we accept your request and we will do it for you. And fight, Sir, I hope that when you become rich, you will not forget the friendship we forged when you were down."

“How many people can you provide?”

"The 22 elite sailors on the Shayala's Dance, as well as some other people who are not good at fighting, probably have this number, if you need it." Corian replied.

"I only need soldiers. If there are no accidents, I shouldn't need your other people." Ian smiled. These people were a complete surprise to him.

Next, Ian deployed everyone. He divided the newly recruited sailors into two groups. One group was still personally commanded by Captain Corian. He rented a house next to Ian's house and was ready to cooperate with Ian's plans at any time. action.

The other group was led by the first mate and temporarily commanded by Sir Grantson, the 25th son. They stationed at the port together with Grantson's mercenary team.

In view of the fact that the number of remaining players has reached 69, the vast majority of players should have discovered the problem with the starting equipment. Ian used two strategies to cast the net at the King's Landing port.

The first was naturally the same fishing as at the Crossroads Hotel. He asked a mercenary to wear the conspicuous starting equipment of a mercenary knight and wander around the port. Maybe this would not be able to catch fish directly like earlier, but as long as it attracted other The player's attention can always lure the opponent to take action.

The second plan is to focus on the ships coming from Pentos. If anyone on those ships disembarks into the city and goes to Flea Street, look for opportunities to attack them.

In order to cooperate with Plan 2, Ian asked Denzel's adjutant "Nun Duanzi" to bring Denzel's mercenary team to Flea Bottom. Similarly, his people also set up a trap in Flea Bottom. The 'hedge knight' trap.

In addition, Ian summoned Dorian the Black Falcon, who had completed the task of sending Simon away, and the 20 good men he brought to King's Landing. Half of these people were scattered by Ian to various parts of King's Landing to inquire about the news. , the other half lives in Ian's house and is responsible for Ian's safety.
