Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord - Chapter 202

c202 Kraznys Comes to the Door

The night was like ink, like thick ink that could not be dissolved, covering Astapor deeply and solemnly.

Where Gavin was, the lights were flickering, the faint light struggling hard in the darkness, and the quiet atmosphere seemed very comfortable.

Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps broke the tranquility.

Missandei comes in to report that an unexpected guest has arrived – Krazny Monacroze, the ruling good lord of Astapor.

According to Missandei, not only did he bring many gifts, but his expression showed an unconcealable eagerness.

Gavin narrowed his eyes slightly, and a glimmer of thought flashed in his deep eyes.

After a while, he decided to meet this uninvited guest for a while to see what his purpose was.

Not long after, Krazny was brought indoors.

He was dressed in a gorgeous toka robe, and the fine silk shone luxuriously under the light.

However, his face lost the arrogance and arrogance of the past, and was replaced by a trace of unconcealable anxiety, as if a dark cloud shrouded his face.

Gavin sat on the seat, his posture as tall as a pine tree, looking at him calmly. His powerful aura was calm and majestic, as unshakable as a towering mountain peak.

Krazny spoke first, with a rare polite tone: “Mr. Geralo of Qarth, I’m really sorry for disturbing your rest late at night.”

Gavin shook his head gently and said in a calm and powerful voice: “It’s okay. I don’t usually go to bed that early. What’s the matter with calling me?”

Krazny thought for a moment and said slowly: “Do you know anything about the recent situation in Astapor?”

Gavin was keenly aware that Krazny tonight was very different from before, as if he was a different person. There must be a reason for this. Thinking of this, he just nodded slightly and did not answer. He quietly waited for the other party to continue speaking.

Seeing this, Krazny stopped beating around the bush and said bluntly: “I know that the Unsullied one I sold to you is still in the city, and I hope to buy it back at the same price.”

Gavin’s eyes sharpened, and his sharp gaze shot towards Krazny like a sharp sword, and he said slowly: “If I remember correctly, I have already paid. Are you going to regret it?”

Krazny shook his head vigorously and hurriedly explained: “No… no… I don’t want to go back on the previous transaction. It’s just that I sold all the Unsullied to you, which makes me now in As Tapo seems very passive during the Good Lord meeting, and now that the situation is gradually turbulent, I need to hold some of the Unsullied for protection.”

Gavin remained silent, just looking at Krazny quietly, with deep doubts in his calm eyes. This explanation obviously did not satisfy him.

Upon seeing this, Krazny hurriedly said: “I can make compensation. On top of the original price, I will add 500 gold dragons per 100 people, and you will gain my friendship from Krazny. My Nacroz family has long-term control Astapor will train a large number of Unsullied ones every year. If you need to buy Unsullied ones in the future, the Unsullied ones trained by the Nakroz family will be sold to you first, and there will be no increase in price.”

Gavin raised his chin slightly and refused with firm eyes: “I’m sorry, I also need these Unsullied ones. And I will leave Astapor soon.”

When Krazny heard this, his expression became even more anxious, and he quickly said: “How about this, I will only buy a part of the eight hundred people, and I will pay an additional eight thousand gold dragons. When the situation stabilizes, I will sell these Unsullied back to you at the market price. ”

Gavin heard this and asked doubtfully: “I don’t understand why you need the Unsullied so urgently? Is it for the Council of Good Lords? I heard that the Good Lords are competing for the command of the Unsullied’s army? Is it for the sake of the Unsullied? this?”

Krazny took a deep breath and said slowly: “No, I have given up fighting for the whip bearer. After all, I can’t hand over a single Unsullied person now. It is impossible for the good Lords to choose me. For me, who can The commander doesn’t matter, as long as someone can lead the troops to put down the rebellion.”

With a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone, he continued:

“What I’m worried about is that once the Unsullied leave Astapor to counter the rebellion, there may be slave riots in Astapor City. As the consul, I could control two thousand slave soldiers before, but in order to suppress the rebellion, those slave soldiers Being taken away by Mozhidan has left my family’s pyramid defenseless. Once a slave uprising occurs, I am worried that those slaves will rush into my pyramid.” Krazny’s face was full of worry, as if he had already seen it. Horrible scene.

Hearing this, Gavin said with a smile: “Aren’t your worries a bit unnecessary? There should be no slave riots in Astapor.” Gavin’s smile had a trace of relaxation, and he didn’t seem to think that there would be such serious consequences.

Krazny replied solemnly: “You don’t understand the seriousness of the matter. The Nacroz family existed before Astapor was established. In my family’s records, such a large-scale slave rebellion was reported in Astapor.” Tapo has never appeared before, and the scope and number of slaves affected are unprecedented. There are no fewer slaves in the city than outside, and the news from outside will also reach the ears of the slaves. In the past few days, I have been looking at the slaves in the city. A bad feeling.”

His words were filled with awe for his family’s history and concern for the current situation.

After hearing this, Gavin thought to himself: “This should be Kraznys’ real purpose, otherwise how could this greedy guy be willing to give up the gold. But his worries are also reasonable. Once I seize the Unsullied and Astapor, these problems will be faced by me. Will the slaves who have already smelled the taste of freedom accept the system of merit in exchange for freedom?” Gavin fell into deep thought, he was thinking about the troubles he was about to face.

Gavin thought for a moment, but couldn’t come up with an answer. He could only take one step at a time and seize the Unsullied first. He tried to ask: “I didn’t expect the situation to be so corrupt. Have you decided? When will the Unsullied leave the city to quell the rebellion?” Gavin’s eyes revealed a hint of urgency.

Krazny shook his head and said: “I’m not sure yet. It depends on the situation of the battle in the Worm River. But the command of the Unsullied will be handed over tomorrow. After that, as long as the Council of Good Lords determines the whip holder, the Unsullied will leave at any time.” Krazny’s words were full of uncertainty.

Hearing this, Gavin was a little surprised. He didn’t expect to get first-hand information from Kraznys. It seems that he will get the Unsullied tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Gavin pretended not to understand and continued to ask: “Are you here to hold the ceremony again? Can so many Unsullied arrive tomorrow?” Gavin’s tone was full of curiosity.

After hearing this, Kraznys sighed and explained: “Yes, who made me the Archon, this is my responsibility. But tomorrow will not be so troublesome. The command of all Unsullied will be transferred to a Harpy Whip, and it will be over before dusk.” Kraznys’ words revealed a trace of fatigue.

Gavin smiled and said: “I understand the general situation. Since you have come to my door in person, I agree to your deal. The deal will be set before the Unsullied leave Astapor to quell the rebellion. In addition, can I visit tomorrow’s ceremony?” Gavin’s eyes were full of expectations.

Krazny was relieved after hearing this, and a happy look appeared on his face. He said, “That’s no problem. You can come anytime, and your proposal is also very good. I originally planned to trade after the Unsullied left, otherwise, the Unsullied you sold to me would also be taken away. Don’t worry, Mr. Jeralo, we have traded before, you know me, Krazny is the most honest, once the situation stabilizes, I will return those Unsullied to you as soon as possible.” Krazny’s words were full of sincerity.

At this time, the atmosphere in the room eased a lot.

Gavin nodded slightly, smiled and said, “Of course, I have experienced your credibility, and I am confident in the situation in Astapor. I believe you will return it to me soon.” Gavin’s smile was full of confidence.
