Chapter 466 Negotiation Conditions
"His Majesty."
"Ferrego Antarion did the wrong thing and was voted out of the Sea King by the Palace of Truth, and is now detained in a dungeon awaiting trial."
Tormo Fregar froze slightly when he heard Viserys's sudden change of tone, and then hurriedly said.
Regardless of whether the original plan to steal the dragon was acquiesced or not, at this time all the guilt will be thrown on the head of the former Braavos Sea King.
Anyway, Ferrego Antarion had become the one destined to be sacrificed, just to appease Viserys' anger.
However, it is a pity that just abolishing the previous Sea King will not bring this matter to a successful end.
After all, in this naked real world, whoever has the bigger fist is the last word, not to mention that Braavos has no reason at this moment, so he can only bow his head and let others be slaughtered.
The new Sea King has not yet selected his chief swordsman. This important position must have a person who has both political integrity and ability and can be absolutely trusted.
Now, in order to show his sincerity, he just brought a small number of soldiers to negotiate.
The Braavos soldiers stood far away and did not listen to the conversation between the two. The negotiation between Viserys and Tormo was very simple, and it seemed like two people were standing on the side of the road and doing homework.
Although the new Braavos Aquaman is at a disadvantage and belongs to the side with the smaller fist, he still argues for some issues raised by Viserys and does not allow it to be slaughtered.
Viserys was used to seeing the nobles of the Seven Kingdoms who fell into the wind recently, but he took a look at this Tormo Fregar.
The other party can bend and stretch, without a single tendon for the so-called honor, let alone kneeling at the sight of anyone, it seems that he still has a few brushes to be elected as the next Sea King of Braavos.
With the progress of mankind and the transition of civilization, the national system is indeed becoming more and more important, but Viserys has no brains to change the monarchy in a hurry, or the election of the king proposed by Tyrion in the future.
Each era has the most suitable system for each era. This is a historical inevitability. In the current era, even an incompetent king can maintain the rule and stability of the country to the greatest extent and avoid war and division.
Especially for a big country with a vast territory, the dispersion of power is more likely to breed rebellion.
Braavos has only one city, of course you can make your own, but Viserys can't play that way.
In the end, the two people's homely negotiation has a result, and you don't even need to sign any agreement. When one party is strong enough to fly to your head and shit, the agreement is no longer important, it's just a piece of waste paper. .
Braavos needs to publicly try former Aquaman Ferrego Antarion in the future and publicize his crimes.
Including stealing the young dragon, and sending the Faceless to assassinate, contacting the Dothraki and a series of culprits.
This kind of thing doesn't need to be mentioned by Viserys, and the new Sea King will naturally copy all the old sea kings of the previous Sea King.
It's just that this act of announcing guilt will undoubtedly cause Sea King's authority to suffer a great blow among the people of Braavos.
However, this was the first request made by Viserys, and it was also the basis for the negotiation. Tolmo could only bite the bullet and agree.
Then Viserys happened to take this opportunity to propose a loan for the Iron Throne to abolish the Iron Throne during the Baratheon Dynasty.
He didn't borrow the money in the first place, and he didn't have to pay it back for Robert Baratheon.
Before that, however, Braavos had been in a high position in world politics.
The overlord clause of the Iron Vault is that no matter the dynasty changes or rights change, all governors, princes or kings must respect the contract of the Iron Vault, that is, to take this position, they must recognize their predecessor's debt and repay, otherwise the Iron Vault will be Unleash a frantic act of revenge.
Even the people of Braavos have a proverb full of pride.
'The iron treasury shall not be in arrears'.
But these are based on the fact that Braavos still has absolute strength. The invincible fleet that traverses the Shivering Sea, the Narrow Sea and even the Summer Sea is the capital for debt collection.
However, at this moment, the situation has changed, Braavos has fallen to the altar, Viserys has absolute strength, and he will naturally not accept such domineering terms.
Not to mention the extravagance of Robert's previous years, plus the amount of money he borrowed to win the White Walkers.
Viserys has not yet sat on the Iron Throne, but has begun to refuse to pay his debts...
Tormo Fregar was naturally incapable of speaking out. After all, the Iron Vault in Braavos was a terrorist force that even Sea Kings would not dare to provoke.
But fortunately, Viserys would refuse debt. During the meeting in the basement of the Palace of Truth, the keeper family and the iron vault manager already had psychological expectations.
After all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, not to mention that with the growing power of the Targaryen family, after defeating the White Walkers and the coalition, they absorbed a large number of soldiers. .
The fleet of three-headed fire dragon flags straddles both sides of the narrow sea, and the shipyard of Pantos has a heritage not much worse than that of Braavos, and it is still running at full power, and it is constantly watering new warships at a fast speed. .
In fact, even if there is no such thing, the Iron Vault has already made a plan, preparing to deal with the possibility of Viserys defaulting on his debts.
Whether it was revenge or silence, a consensus had not yet been discussed, but now Viserys helped them make a choice.
With the nods of the watchmen family and the iron vault manager, in the end, the huge deficit in the book will be filled by many families.
But Viserys' conditions are not over yet.
He then asked the new Sea King for three dragon eggs stolen more than two hundred years ago.
This is already a long time ago, something that happened around the 41st year of Aegon's calendar, and even Tolmer Fregar was at a loss.
However, the three dragon eggs that once disappeared have long since disappeared in the long river of time, and now I don't know where to hide.
After all, it was a highly confidential matter even back then, and there was not much publicity about it, not to mention that after so long, it was even difficult to distinguish the authenticity of this matter, and it was difficult for Viserys to confirm.
Tormo Fregar flatly denied the existence of dragon eggs, and Viserys bluffed to intimidate, but there was no result.
In fact, he had great expectations for retrieving the dragon eggs two hundred years ago, but without the dragon eggs, he couldn't give up so easily.
Since Braavos was unable to find the dragon eggs he stole from Dragonstone two hundred years ago, he would have to pay a large sum of gold dragons as compensation.
This is reasonable.
Finally after some haggling...
Tormo Fregar's face was not very good-looking, even a little livid, but he gritted his teeth and agreed.
