Game of Thrones: The Red Dragon Lord - Chapter 203
c203 Seizes the Whip
The next day, the sun shone lazily on the land of Astapor, but it seemed to be weakened by the pervasive atmosphere of chaos and tension and unable to dispel it.
Affected by the activities of the rebels, the once bustling slave trade in the city now looks particularly depressed. The once-bustling noise of hawking on both sides of the streets has also disappeared, leaving only a dead silence.
Many slave traders traveling here have temporarily transferred their business to Yunkai and Meereen in order to avoid the serious impact of the current unrest in Astapor on their business.
Gavin did not go to the Punishment Square early. Instead, after having a leisurely lunch, he simply cleaned up his appearance and walked towards the Punishment Square with full expectations. His heart was filled with excitement that he was about to obtain the Unsullied.
Since Kairos and most of his Blood Dragon Guards had not yet had time to return to Astapor, Gavin only had six Blood Dragon Guards around him, but this did not affect his plan to seize the whip at all.
There are also 1,800 Unsullied ones owned by Gavin in the city. Once they successfully seize the whip, these Unsullied ones will quickly control Astapor’s access and city defense, blocking all good lords’ opportunities to escape.
After a while, Gavin brought Missandei, Jalal, and six Blood Dragon Guards to the Punishment Square.
I saw that the huge square was neatly filled with the Unsullied. They were like sculptures frozen in time. Under the unreserved exposure of the midday sun, they stood tall and motionless, showing an awe-inspiring look. Discipline.
Krazny on the stage was busy directing the ceremony, and his figure looked a little busy and focused in the sunlight.
In the stands nearby, sat a group of benefactors whom Gavin didn’t know. They were supposed to be spectators of the ceremony, but at this time they focused entirely on their arguments. It was obviously the key to the choice of whip bearer. The issue has not yet been agreed upon and cannot be selected.
Krazny saw Gavin from a distance, and he nodded slightly.
Gavin also nodded in response, and then his eyes were involuntarily attracted to the Whip of the Harpy, which symbolized the command authority of the Unsullied.
Since the ceremony had not yet been completed, the whip was quietly placed on the tray in front of the stage, with no one taking it, as if it was quietly waiting for its owner to arrive.
Gavin only stared at it for a moment, then forcibly withdrew his blazing gaze and walked towards the stands nearby.
At this moment, he just needs to wait quietly, because he knows that the moment the ceremony ends, it is the perfect opportunity for him to obtain the whip.
At Krazny’s signal, several slaves quickly and carefully brought a chair for Gavin and placed it gently on the stand.
Gavin sat down without hesitation, his eyes calm, like a calm mountain, quietly waiting for the final conclusion of the ceremony.
The timing of Gavin’s arrival was ingenious. After Krazny’s busy morning, the ceremony was almost coming to an end.
He did not wait too long. Soon, the last group of Unsullied came forward to complete their allegiance to the whip. At this point, the command was completely handed over.
Seeing this, the benefactors who were arguing endlessly on the side finally stopped their heated arguments and walked towards the stage one after another.
Krazny took the opportunity to smile at Gavin and said: “Mr. Geralo, you are late, the ceremony is over, but it doesn’t matter, the ceremony itself is boring, and you have experienced it before, there is really nothing interesting to see. Please forgive me now There are still some things that I cannot entertain you. Today, the Council of Good Lords should decide on the whip bearer. When it is over, please come to my pyramid as a guest and let me show my kindness as a landlord. It has been so long since you have been in Astapor. Have you been to the Pyramids?”
Gavin’s eyes were locked tightly on the whip on the tray, with a fiery light in his eyes. He did not answer Krazny’s question directly, but asked instead: “The current Harpy Whip can control All Unsullied?”
When Krazny heard Gavin’s question, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a trace of pride flashed in his eyes. He pointed to the whip on the side, and said with confidence in his tone: “Of course, it can now command all Wu Guu. “The unsullied do not recognize people but whips.”
Hearing Krazny’s answer, Gavin nodded slightly. He stood up slowly and walked towards Krazny calmly and calmly. As he walked, he asked in a tone that seemed casual but had a hidden meaning. : “Krazny, at this moment, you are closest to the whip. Once you hold the whip, you will control all the Unsullied. Have you never thought about becoming a whip bearer and completely ruling Astapor? ”
When Krazny heard Gavin’s words, his body shook slightly, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. His eyes first subconsciously glanced at the whip on the tray, and there seemed to be a moment of hesitation and struggle in his eyes, and then he slowly looked at Gavin, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
“Mr. Geralo, you are joking.” Krazny said slowly, with a hint of helplessness in his voice, “I have always followed the traditions of Astapor, and there has never been anyone who ruled Astapor. Thought. But you are right. As long as you hold this whip, you can rule here immediately. This is why the Parliament has never been able to decide on a whip bearer. After all, once a whip bearer has ambitions, the consequences will be disastrous. ”
Gavin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mysterious and slightly sarcastic smile, and said: “Krazny, don’t underestimate yourself. In my opinion, you are better than those procrastinating and hesitant Council of Good Lords. Much more. If you master the Unsullied, you can quickly put down this rebellion with your abilities.”
Krazny frowned when he heard Gavin’s words. He shook his head gently, revealing a hint of firmness in his eyes, and said: “I have given up the fight for the whip bearer. Whoever holds the whip has nothing to do with me, and the whip bearer is elected by the parliament. My only hope now is to quickly quell the slave rebellion.” As he spoke, Krazny looked at Gavin warily, his eyes full of doubts and vigilance, and asked: “Mr. Gerallo, why did you suddenly make such a suggestion? What is your purpose?”
Gavin smiled gently, and that smile seemed to hide countless secrets. He said: “I just think you have the ability, but since you don’t want to be a whip bearer and just want to end the rebellion, I can do it for you. Of course, the price is that whip.”
Krazny’s eyes widened when he heard Gavin’s words, his face full of shock and disbelief.
His lips began to tremble slightly, and his fingers trembled as he pointed at Gavin, his voice became sharp because of anger: “You…you…your real purpose is to snatch this whip?”
