Chapter 310 Mia

Volantis is the southern coastal city of Essos, the most southeastern of the many free trade city-states.

A delta located on the four mouths of the Lorne River.

Because Volantis is the earliest colony established by the Valyrian Freehold, it has a long history and is powerful.

Therefore, she is known as "the eldest daughter of Valyria", "the Queen of the Lorne", "the Mistress of the Summer Sea" and so on.

Viewed from above the clouds, she sits beside a huge bay, to the north of which is the Varana, a tributary of the Lorne.

The surrounding towns, Seheru Town, Valissa, and Velonthus Town are all under the jurisdiction of Volantis.

There is also a road from Volantis to Meereen in Slaver's Bay. However, the environment between the two places is too harsh and dangerous. People have named this road as the "Devil's Road".

"Volantis is big, I told you."

"Eamon."

A red-haired girl was sitting directly opposite Viserys, wiping the dagger in her hand lightly, and then said.

The name Aemon was a pseudonym that Viserys casually picked up, mainly because it was simple and catchy. When asked, he immediately thought of this name, and then he casually called himself Aemon.

And the "Dragon Knight" Prince Aemon is also generally considered to be the most noble knight to date.

While the girl who wiped the dagger was talking, she was still quietly and earnestly observing Viserys' face.

Her face is actually not very beautiful, just ordinary, but her figure is very good, she looks very healthy and vigorous.

The girl sat directly opposite Viserys, surrounded by a bustling crowd, the voices were noisy and chaotic, punching and drinking, making loud noises, the floor activity above her head creaked, and there was also a vaguely undisguised moan of a woman .

This place is a tavern in Volantis, located on the long bridge, which spans the mouth of the Lorne River and links the two urban areas of Volantis together.

The Long Bridge is an extremely long span, supported by huge piers, as flat as a road, built by the Valyrians in their heyday.

The entrances at both ends of the long bridge are arches of black boulders, and the doors are carved with sphinx, sphinx, manticore, dragon and other monsters. The bridge deck is large enough for two carriages to pass side by side.

There are various buildings on both sides of the long bridge, and you can buy almost anything here.

Now Viserys and this mercenary dressed up as a girl named Mia are eating on the second floor of a tavern above the Long Bridge.

The level of consumption here is not high, so it is mixed, with a large number of poor people, mercenaries, prostitutes, slaves and sailors from afar.

From the angle where Viserys is sitting now, it can be seen that the hands of the thieves and the heads of the prisoners on the long bridge below are displayed on spears.

"You're right, Mia."

"Volantis is really big."

Viserys looked at the head that had just been cut off below, still dripping blood and being picked up on the spear, and there were even cheers around.

Then he turned his head and said sarcastically.

"And it's also very popular."

The man who was just executed below was not some heinous criminal, but a runaway slave.

In order to warn the other slaves, his master executed him and killed the chickens to warn the monkeys.

The surrounding guards of Volantis, the tiger-robed army with tiger stripes on his cheeks, seemed to have not seen it, and allowed the slave owner to throw away his own 'property'.

"Slaves are part of Volantis culture."

Mia also saw the following scene just now, and said without hesitation.

"This has been the case since the days of the Valyrian Bastion of Freedom, when almost every free citizen owned on average more than five slaves."

Of course averages have always been hooligans.

The poor free citizens could not afford to buy slaves, and the slaves owned by the big slave owners could almost form a small mercenary group.

"Oh."

"Mia, why do you want to explore the ruins of Valyria?"

Viserys did not continue the topic just now, but took a bite of the dishes on the table, then raised his head and asked.

This girl had been met by Viserys when she had just arrived in Volantis a few days ago.

She is a member of a mercenary group, code-named 'Hunter', and what she is best at is quietly coming behind the enemy and slitting their throats.

The recent riots are the hottest topic in Volantis, with some claiming that the Valyrian ruins have become more dangerous, while others think it's the best chance to make a fortune.

The secrets and wealth buried in the fortress of freedom will all emerge from the ground, and you can make a fortune by picking up a few things at that time.

Mia was the one who saw this as a chance to make a fortune, so she joined an expedition to Valyria, and Viserys volunteered to join when the expedition was openly recruited.

The silver-haired young man's face was very handsome, and his skills were good. He took down the mercenary named 'The Butcher' in three or two times, winning the favor of the boss who organized the expedition this time.

So Viserys joined the expedition under the alias 'Aemon'.

Only after joining the expedition did Viserys know that the scale of this operation was very large, and the 'boss' behind the scenes was even more noble.

He was one of three consuls of Volantis, Malaccio Megya of the Tiger Party.

He organized twenty ships of various sizes and an expedition of nearly a thousand people, most of whom were slaves.

There are also many mercenaries with dreams like Mia and Viserys.

"It's for the money, of course."

"Any reason other than this purpose?"

Mia heard Viserys' question, gave him a strange look, and then said as she should.

"if not?"

"What do you want to do, Aemon."

"Of course I'm also doing it for the money."

Viserys leaned back against the back of the chair behind him.

"Is it?"

And Mia looked at Viserys suspiciously.

"But I don't see you as someone who is short of money."

Mia's eyes fell on Viserys' dress, although Viserys was wearing very ordinary clothes and nothing special.

But I don't know why 'Aemon' behaves and gives her the impression that she is a person with a noble status and a high position all the year round, and there is a special feeling in every word and deed.

"You think too much."

And Viserys just shrugged his shoulders slightly when facing Mia's questioning eyes, and said naturally.

"I'm just not that poor."

"And like to be adventurous, want to see what the ruins of Valyria look like."
