Next to the cucumber vines was a long wooden table.
The Dragon Queen sat at the head of the table, while the dwarf and Tai Chu sat opposite each other.
The one who owed money might be the boss, but if the one who owed money wanted to borrow more money, he would definitely be the grandson. So as the Hand of the King of Stannis, Davos was willing to sit below Tai Chu.
"Your Majesty the Queen, you won, you won this Long Night." The representative of Braavos, who had thin eyebrows, a thin goatee, a thin face, and a thin body, said dejectedly.
"I thought you would continue to play dead and act shamelessly." Tyrion smiled.
— — -you think we don't want to? If it was anyone else, they would have already been served by Faceless. But Dragon Queen had defeated the World Allied Army, challenged Frost God who had beaten Lahlo into a dog, and slapped the King of Foreign Ghost like a grandson. Whether it was military power or personal strength, she was the only one who could act shamelessly, when did anyone else have the right to act shamelessly?
Tai Chu glared at the dwarf and said righteously: "The Iron Treasury's credibility is even stronger than the Westeros' sacred oaths."
"Are you hinting at something? In recent years, the Westeros' sacred oaths have become as solid as mud. "Tyrion said strangely.
"We have the ability to carry out the contract." Tai Chu turned to the Dragon Queen.
"Then how do you plan to carry out the contract, gold or food?" Danny asked.
"Your Majesty the Queen, the situation is like this." Tai Chu cleared his throat and said tactfully: "After receiving your food contract, the Iron Treasury immediately packed it up and sent it to 20 major merchants of the Nine Free Cities.
Now that they are unable to deliver the goods, we are unable to provide you with the food in the contract.
Naturally, since we have breached the contract, we are willing to pay you 20 times the compensation according to the contract.
However, those 20 merchants are unable to take out that much gold at the moment, so the Iron Treasury's idea is to transfer the debt of those 20 merchants to — — "
"No!" Without waiting for him to finish, Danny shook her head and refused. "Your Iron Treasury is a big business. There's nowhere to run, and you can't go bankrupt. What if those grain merchants jump into the sea and kill themselves? Who am I going to cry to?"
"Your Majesty, please let me finish." Tai Chu smiled awkwardly. "In your contract with us, the compensation is only 20 times, but we signed a contract with 20 grain merchants to pay 25 times the compensation. If you transfer the debt, you can earn 25% more."
"I'm not interested in gold royals. You can earn the money yourselves!" Danny said indifferently.
If you're not interested in the gold royals, you should just cancel the contract right now! Fifty million gold royals, twenty times that, one billion!
Tai Chu wanted to complain loudly, but the "truth" that Sir System was the one who owed money did not apply to Braavos. The Dragon Queen's fist was too hard.
"Then can we wait until after the long night?" he asked.
"Sigh!" Davos, who had been silent all this time, suddenly sighed.
The Iron Treasury's meekness in front of the Dragon Queen and its arrogance in front of him was a stark contrast. The old knight felt very complicated. Why was there such a big difference between people?
"How much gold do you have in the Iron Treasury?" Tyrion asked curiously.
Tai Chu glanced at Davos and said maliciously, "How much gold does Lannister store in Casterly Rock City?"
Tyrion narrowed his eyes and laughed. "I want to know too, but I'm the second son without inheritance, and I'm a dwarf … My father didn't allow me to enter the treasury at all. He only said that he would give me two thousand gold royals when we split the family.
Braavos, on the other hand, has too much gold. Even the old mine can't hold it all, so you can only build a bigger treasury.
I'm afraid that one billion gold royals is nothing, right? "
"I'm just a representative of the Iron Treasury. I'm not even a shareholder, so I don't know the amount of gold in the Iron Treasury." Tai Chu copied the dwarf and evaded the question.
Danny said, "I'm not being unreasonable. One billion gold royals in one go is indeed very difficult. You can pay in installments and pay a little every year.
I don't want too high of an interest rate, just half of the interest you gave to the kings of the Westeros. "
"How many installments?" Tai Chu asked nervously.
"This is determined by your ability to repay."
Dragon Queen was very reasonable, but Tai Chu was in a difficult position.
If the amount of repayment was too much, the Iron Treasury would not be able to handle it. The internal pressure of the Iron Treasury was not one billion gold royals. If the repayment period was prolonged, it would generate high interest. This … It would be great if they could not repay!
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Can we use goods as collateral?"
"Yes, didn't you collect hundreds of Tile Steel Swords? It's a complete waste to leave them in the warehouse. Why don't you use all of them to pay off the debt? I can also equip a group of Dawn Warriors. "Danny said casually.
Tai Chu probed, "How much are you going to pay for the Tile Steel Swords?"
"The Tile Steel Swords on the market are depreciating rapidly, right?" Danny smiled.
"If we calculate based on the current market price, we won't sell them." Tai Chu shook his head.
Then, he added, "In fact, the Iron Treasury is still wantonly purchasing those depreciating Tile Steel Swords.
Even if you melt hundreds of tons of Tile Steel statues, the total amount of Tile Steel in the world is fixed. When the Tile Steel Swords on the market enter the Iron Treasury, the price of Tile Steel will naturally rise again. "
"Too naive. Whoever has more Tile Steel Swords will have the right to set the price. As long as the Dragon Queen is willing, she can make any profiteer who hoards Tile Steel Swords to commit suicide." Tyrion sneered.
"Hoarding garlic and medicine might cause you to lose money, but hoarding Tile Steel Swords definitely won't.
Tile Steel Swords won't deteriorate even after ten thousand years, but accidents will cause the loss of Tile Steel Swords. For example, your Lannister's clan sword 'Light Howl'.
As time passes, the number of Tile Steel Swords will decrease. After hoarding them for a hundred thousand years, let's see if the value of Tile Steel Swords will rise or not. "Tai Chu said confidently.
"If we really wait a hundred thousand years, the interest of a single copper coin will accumulate to several hundred or several thousand gold royals. Will Tile Steel Swords rise by several hundred thousand times?" The dwarf mocked.
"Ai, the reality is that our Iron Treasury always has a batch of gold stored in the treasury. And the gold stored in the treasury, even after a million years, won't produce a single copper coin of interest. It's better to buy some hard currency and wait for it to rise in value. "
The dwarf had no words to refute.
Danny thought for a bit and said, "Let's go with the market price from five years ago. I'll take all of the Tile Steel Swords in the Iron Treasury."
Tai Chu's heart was suddenly filled with joy. He anxiously said, "You aren't joking? There are more than seven hundred Tile Steel Swords. Even if we go with the 'low price' of eighty thousand gold royals per kilogram, we'll need at least a hundred and fifty million gold royals! "
Danny shrugged and said indifferently, "It's free money, I don't feel bad spending it at all."
Tai Chu felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. All of his joy from before disappeared. He said bitterly, "Do you need anything else other than Tile Steel Swords? For example, Earthlander Silk, Kohor's Fine Iron, Myr Lens, Reese's Poison. "
"What's the use of those things in the Long Night? We don't even have a place to store them. "Danny shook her head.
Tai Chu didn't say anything.
He obviously knew what the Dragon Queen needed, but they lacked food and winter clothing, so how could they sell them?
Danny saw that he was silent, so she turned her gaze to the Onion Knight. "What about you? Why did you come this time?"
"For the upcoming 'Great Battle of King's Landing'." Davos glanced at Tai Chu and explained, "His Majesty Stannis believes that the Long Night is a threat to the entire world. Fighting the other ghosts is not the responsibility of the Westeros alone.
Therefore, he hopes to expand the scope of the 'United Ghost Resistance Front' to the entire world. At least, let the free trade city-states on the other side of the narrow sea participate.
In the previous Great Battle of Winterfell, almost all of the Seven Kingdoms gathered together, but they still failed. In the foreseeable future, there will be an even more intense battle at King's Landing.
In order to protect the King's Landing, and to completely eliminate the King of the Deviant Ghosts at King's Landing, the people of the world should unite.
Just like how the Seven Kingdoms Warriors came to Winterfell's aid, the city-states of the world can send Knights and Wizards to King's Landing.
The supernatural forces of the Westeros are weak, but in the continent of Ursos, there are many Wizards and Wizards.
According to Priestess Melisandre's plan, if we can form a Wizard Legion with ten thousand Wizards, we can even fight the Frost God head-on.
In this way, we have hope that the Battle of King's Landing will be the final battle against the Deviant Ghosts. We can defeat the Frost God, kill the King of the Deviant Ghosts, and end the Long Night. "
Tyrion was dumbfounded, and so was Danny.
However, the reason why they were shocked was different. Danny was shocked by the fact that ten thousand Wizards could fight against a true God, while the Dwarf was shocked because he realized that he had underestimated Stannis.
Stannis was not an idiot, nor was he a scapegoat. He had his own thoughts and plans.
If they followed Erlu's plan, his plan for the third defense line of the Storm's Rest Stronghold would be meaningless.
If they won the Great Battle of King's Landing, there would be no need for a third defense line. If the King's Landing, which gathered the forces of the world, was lost, the Storm's Rest Stronghold would inevitably fall as well.
The Storm's Rest Stronghold would not be able to form a Wizard Legion with ten thousand Extraordinaries to fight against the Frost God.
The only question was, could Erlu's plan be realized?
Would the city-states be willing to help the King's Landing fight against the Deviant Ghosts? Could they gather ten thousand Wizards?
"Was it Melisandre who said that a Wizard Legion with ten thousand Wizards can fight against the Frost God?" Danny asked doubtfully.
"Yes, she was the one who proposed the Great Battle of King's Landing." Davos nodded and explained, "She said that the King's Landing is the capital of the Seven Kingdoms. It can nurture the bloodline of kings and has special magical powers.
If we set up a Wizard Spell Formation that gathers the power of ten thousand Wizards at the King's Landing, we can cast a fire-type Forbidden Spell that can fight against the Frost God. "
"Hiss …" Tai Chu took a deep breath and muttered, "How terrifying would a Forbidden Spell that can fight against a True God be? What is the name of that Forbidden Spell? "
"I don't know. I don't have any direct knowledge of Forbidden Spells. The red-robed lady told me, and I'm telling you now. That's all, "Davos said awkwardly.
"Why didn't she come here herself?" Danny asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, I didn't expect to meet Her Excellency Tai Chu here. We are not together. I came to find you this time to reach a preliminary agreement. After all, we haven't even taken down the King's Landing yet! "Davos said with a bitter smile.
After a while, seeing that the Dragon Queen was still deep in thought, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you think?"
"The idea is not bad, but where do we find ten thousand Wizards? There aren't even ten thousand Extraordinaires in the entire world! "Tyrion said doubtfully.
"Priests are also Extraordinaires," Danny said calmly.
"Yes, Melisandre said that priests of the Seven Gods and priests of the Red God can do it."
The dwarf had just said this when he suddenly saw the cold expression of the Dragon Queen and suddenly stopped talking. "In that case, there really is some hope for the Great Battle of King's Landing?"
He remembered the relationship between the Dragon Queen and Lahlo.
"What does Her Excellency Tai Chu think?" Danny looked at the representative of the Iron Treasury.
