Chapter 60
A few days passed after Dragonstone met with an emissary from Braavos.
Viserys arranged other things to follow on Dragonstone during this time.
Then, after makeup and dressing up, her silver-blond hair was dyed blue, and her enviable appearance in the past was simply modified, so she was no longer so conspicuous.
It's just that the purple eyes can't be concealed, and they still have the calm and steady opposite of a boy, with a thrilling beauty in the eyes, like a lavender gem.
And the complex runes hidden in the depths of the eyes are not seen by ordinary people, and if you look at this boy, you will feel invisible pressure.
It was fear from the soul, no matter how strong his body was.
After the spiritual power surpassed the mortal and reached another realm, it brought a little change to Viserys.
If you just saw Viserys now, you might just sigh that this is a beautiful boy, but if you look at him, this kind of thinking will change drastically.
A boy from an ordinary wealthy business family would not have such an invisible aura, which is like a power radiating from the inside out.
And Viserys is not alone on the road. He is accompanied by two carefully selected guards who will protect the safety of the little king along the way.
The instructor had intended to escort Viserys to Braavos himself.
However, his body was weak, and his old injuries were recurring, and he even suffered from a minor illness. In the end, Viserys had no choice but to ask Viserys to stay on Dragonstone Island to recuperate.
In this age of poor medical standards, the injury that ran through the ribs and the lack of timely treatment, which dragged on for a day and a night, has left Sir William with an incurable ailment.
The strong body in the past has also lost weight rapidly in less than a year, and even the armor that used to be a little big.
Viserys couldn't bear to let the coach follow him on the long journey, so he strongly urged him to stay on Dragonstone.
Shortly after.
Viserys finally boarded a merchant ship returning from King's Landing to Braavos in a low-key manner under the arrangement of the Braavos messenger.
Leaving Dragonstone for Braavos, a faraway place full of mystery and unknown.
wow-
Huge two-masted rowing merchant ships ride the wind and waves on the sea.
The waves kept crashing and beating on this huge and bloated hull, but it was just like a breeze, which could not shake the big ship firmly moving in one direction.
At this moment, the little king was sitting quietly in front of the window of the cabin, looking at the rough sea in the distance, with a little envy in his heart.
Braavos is worthy of being the center of world trade and has untold wealth.
Any merchant ship has a tonnage second only to that of the Targaryen fleet's flagship Black Reaper, and it can be seen that with some modifications and additions of rams and weapons, this merchant ship can be transformed into a warship at any time.
Viserys had personally followed Ser Geoffrey's expedition to Storm's End not long ago, destroying Baratheon's fleet on the waters of Shipbreaker Cove.
At that time, Viserys followed the old Sir all the way, read a lot and asked a lot, so he knew a little about the battle on the sea of the fleet, at least he wouldn't seem so unfamiliar.
Viserys could see how terrifying the war potential of this giant city-state, the first of the nine free trade city-states.
If the war really starts, Braavos may be able to pull out an invincible fleet with hundreds of brigs in a very short time.
The fleets of other city-states are still using longboats and small sailboats as death squads to protect the safety of their main ships, but their main ships are just ordinary ships here in Braavos.
Then Braavos' Armada can easily block the other's maritime trade supply routes, greatly reducing the enemy's war capacity.
However, Braavos' armada is not very deterrent to the nobles of Westeros.
Because the size of the Armada could not surround the entire Westeros.
Moreover, these big nobles will not rely too much on trade, and the small peasant economy can be completely self-sufficient. Cutting off the sea route would at best only cause them a little loss, not even enough to hurt their bones.
These have been manifested in the Usurper's War, and the Targaryen Royal Fleet is too powerful to use.
And what really worries the Seven Kingdoms and even the Iron Throne is Braavos' other weapon.
That is gold coins.
The wealth of the Iron Vault is enough to shock the world that the throne under the king's ass is full of thorns.
When kings or nobles default on their debts, or are stupid enough to disrespect their contracts with the Iron Vault, new kings or nobles spring up with financial aid from the Iron Vault.
These new nobles must recognize their previous debts and repay the money they borrowed from the Iron Vault to win the throne, lest they suffer the same fate as their predecessors
This is also the reason why the Iron Vault has borrowed so much money, but no one has ever dared to default.
As the Braavos have a saying 'The iron vault is not in arrears'.
Viserys looked at the waves on the sea, lost in thought, thinking about the mess.
He has some memories and impressions of Braavos based on his mind, but these are not comprehensive, and the rest are the knowledge about Braavos, folk customs and customs that he made up before leaving these few days. .
And a soldier sitting on the side quietly looked at the expression on the little king's face, showing a little bit of reason.
After several incidents, including the previous design to kill mercenaries and the naval battle in Shipbreaker Bay, Viserys' name has actually gradually spread among the soldiers.
People say that Viserys has a talent that will never lose to his brother Rhaegar, and now it seems to this soldier that it is.
What were you doing when you were eight years old?
Seems like he's still playing peeing mud.
However, in fact, Viserys' brain is empty now, and he doesn't know what he is thinking about, just staring at the sea in a daze.
Although he went through some simple disguise, but out of caution, he still hid in the cabin and did not show up for a day.
After all, this was the first time Viserys had left the protective circle around him and stepped into a completely unfamiliar environment.
Even when he had fled King's Landing in a hurry, there were more than fifty soldiers escorting him, but now Viserys has only two people by his side.
However, at this moment, the door of the cabin room was knocked.
Bang bang bang.
"Master, it's me."
A man's voice was deliberately lowered from outside the door.
