Chapter 707 Sea Monster

"Your Majesty, this is some important news from the Eastern Continent recently."

King's Landing, Red Fort, in the Imperial Council Chamber.

Compared with the ups and downs in the endless ice sheet, the human world is generally still in peace, and some areas are in the midst of war.

The Minister of Intelligence, Varys, submitted an intelligence to the Imperial Council, which contained some important information about the foreign countries that his little bird had recently collected.

"The world of the trading city-state is not peaceful."

"The vast trembling sea, the merchant ships of Rollas and the fishing boats of the Ibans, appear to have been attacked by sea monsters."

"Part of the broken ship debris and cargo recently drifted along the current to the coast of Braavos. The bite marks on it are shocking, and no survivors have been found."

The bald eunuch's voice was soft and slender, and he was talking eloquently, while Tyrion, who was the emperor's personal adviser, touched his chin and beard and teased.

"I've heard about it recently, and it seems to be a big deal in the sailor's circle."

Braavos is the city closest to the north on the west coast of Essos. Recently, the wreckage of many ships has floated on the sea of ​​Braavos.

Several fleets of Iban, Rollas and Braavos are said to have vanished into the sea, and it is speculated that the wrecks of these ships were left behind by these fleets.

It is impossible to guess what they encountered, but the wreck is said to have horrific scars, suspected to have been bitten by some kind of monster.

Therefore, the sailors who traveled to the Narrow Sea recently are rumored that they have been attacked by sea monsters, and they are even suspicious of ghosts. However, as Tyrion, who is not very firm in the belief in ghosts and gods, he does not really believe in the rumors of sea monsters in the sea.

"I don't think it's as mysterious as they say, maybe it's the storm."

The emperor's personal advisor sat on a chair and shrugged slightly.

"Maybe, Lord Tyrion."

"But that still doesn't explain those horrible bite marks."

"But we have nothing to worry about. Even if there are really sea monsters, we still have His Majesty to rely on."

The bald eunuch on the other side didn't raise the bar with Tyrion either. He crossed his hands inside his cuffs, and then secretly glanced at Viserys, who was sitting in the first place. Seeing that there was no expression on the other's face, he continued to speak.

"Norvos recently inexplicably ignited a forest fire, which has not been extinguished at a great cost."

"The bearded monks thought it was the believers of the Red God Cult who were working in secret and used witchcraft to ignite the mountain fire."

"So now all Red God believers in the territory are being expelled and massacred and declared persona non grata."

It is natural for wildfires to be ignited in the Norfoss Mountains, because the air there is dry and in the mountainous terrain, it is very easy to cause fires, and the Norfoss fires can be heard almost every few years. accident.

Sitting next to His Majesty the Emperor, the Governor of the West Region, Mies Toin, who was the new Prime Minister of the Royal Front, turned his head slightly and glanced at the Minister of Agriculture, Allister Floren, and the two exchanged their eyes.

Mies Toin was a mercenary captain, good at commanding wars, but not very sensitive to politics, so he received the appointment and did his homework before leaving for King's Landing.

He believes that although he has climbed to the position of one person below ten thousand people, he has no 'friends' above the court of King's Landing, and it is very likely that he will not be able to show his strength.

At this time, Alister Floren, the leader of the lawful noble party, took the initiative to extend an olive branch to the new Prime Minister.

In fact, as the representative of all the old nobles, the Florent family still has a lot of energy behind it.

Behind him stood the Tyrells, the former monarchs of the Florent family, and many vassals from the time of Robert Baratheon.

They are not the heroic warriors who followed Viserys to conquer the world, but the survivors of the old times, so now they are living in a group, hoping to have a place in the political situation of the new empire.

The Tyrell family should have acted as their 'big brother', because most of the other duke families have been replaced, and even if they were stripped of High Court and rushed to Star Shuttle City to be the earl, the Tyrell family still has a deep heritage .

However, in history, the Florent family, which was not very convinced by the high court housekeeper, took the initiative to stand up and carry the banner at this time.

The cunning Queen of Thorns naturally took the initiative to take a half step back and handed over the position of 'Big Brother' to Alistair Floren.

After all, the other party now holds the position of Minister of Agriculture and is qualified to sit in the Imperial Council. It is the most talkative among these old nobles for the time being.

Therefore, facing the olive branch that Alister Floren offered, the ugly-faced former mercenary captain hesitated for a moment before taking it.

In this way, he is at least not completely 'isolated' in King's Landing.

At this moment, his eyes turned to Allister, and the politically sensitive old man of the Florent family naturally understood, and then opened his mouth to remind.

"Your Majesty and all of you adults, the Norfoss Mountain Fire happens almost every year, big or small."

"Although this year's wildfire is not small, it is far from a threat to Norvos."

"The bearded monk turned against the Red God Cult at this time, maybe there is a reason?"

When Mies Toin heard the reminder from the old man of the Florent family, he suddenly realized.

Then he frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and said solemnly.

"Maybe the old monk on the sinner's ladder predicted something again."

"Almost everything he predicted happened."

Then Meath Toyne turned his head to look at Varys, the Minister of Intelligence.

"Lord Varys, this matter deserves our attention."

Mies Toin once roamed the major city-states of Essos as the leader of the Golden Corps, so he knew the interior of each city-state well.

There is a huge stone staircase in the city of Norvos called the Sinner's Stairs, which leads directly from the city to a temple on the cliff, which is the religious center of the monks of Norvos.

According to legend, an old Norfoss monk lived in this ancient temple. .

When the people in the Imperial Council Hall heard the words of the hand of the new king, there were some whispers.

And the bald eunuch looked calm. As the intelligence minister of the empire, he naturally knew that Mies Toin was right. There was indeed an old monk who should have lived in the legend above the sinner ladder of Novos. .

"I see, Lord Mies Toyne."

"Next time I'll send my little birdie to keep an eye on Norvos."
