"Just listen to me. I promise you nothing."


The rich merchant governor continued to whisper in wesselis's ear.

"Yes."

Wesselis nodded slightly and said nothing more.

He didn't know what illyrio's arrangement was, but now the governor hasn't shown that he wants to turn against the water, so there are still places for cooperation.

After all, even though wesselis has a variety of means, he is still deep in the center of pantos. I don't know how many soldiers surround here. If he is not careful, there will still be danger.

Then.

According to the procedure, Prince pantos, sitting on the ivory and gold throne, chanted the names of the governors.

"Turner, hall, Scott, Cecil... Mopatis."

Prince pantos recited the names of the governors in turn.

And every governor who was called by name nodded slightly in his seat, at least on the surface.

Then Prince pantos thanked the governors who worked hard for the city-state.

At this time, the governors also stood up, clenched their fists on their chest, responded to the prince's thanks, and expressed their willingness to express their loyalty to the prince for the prosperity and strength of pantos.

Wow

Then he sat back in place.

This is the standard Etiquette under the special system of pantos, an ancient city-state.

Although the prince of pantos is a puppet, he is still the head of the city-state elected jointly in theory and should be respected.

Wesselis, on the other hand, sat in the seat next to the prince and did not get up. He leaned his back against the soft back, gently tapped the armrest with his fingers, and looked calmly at the ceremony in the palace circular hall.

Behind Prince Rodney, there are still three saluting officials holding their own ritual vessels, scales, whips and swords.

The prince's performance is different from that of two years. Although he was still dull on weekdays, wesselis saw a different color in his eyes when he presided over festivals and toured the city-state.

He even suddenly wondered if the prince who was scared to pee from the throne would have pretended?

Because there was really no better reason to leave the hot ass throne at that time.

Wesselis thought carefully. In such a situation, he took the initiative to stand up. As a prince who escaped from the throne, he might as well be dragged down as a fool.

Dong

And at this time.

The melodious bell rang from the red temple in the distance, symbolizing that the new year has come at midnight.

"The new year is coming."

"To the gods of heaven and bless pantos with good weather in the coming year."

Wow

Once again, the governors of pantos raise their glasses together.

"At the same time, I would also like to thank our distinguished guests. Your arrival has added some color to pantos."

Said Prince pantos.

The guard standing next to wesselis had also checked the wine in the glass for him, and then whispered a few words in wesselis's ear.

"Thank the prince for his hospitality..."

Wesselis also raised his glass, then took a sip on his lips and put it down.

However, at this time, someone suddenly interrupted wesselis.

"Aren't you good at drinking? Your Majesty the king of the seven countries."

Wesselis only sipped at Prince pantos's toast.

A viceroy who did not know his name suddenly said.

He was the governor sitting in the fifth position in the right half circle of Prince pantos, wearing a black animal skin cloak. Although his hair was gray, his eyes were bright.

Most of the governors in the prince's palace were gray haired old men, and illyrio was even young.

"Oh, sorry."

Then the governor shook his head again.

"I forgot that you have just grown up after your naming day this year, and now -"

"You may not be able to drink yet."

The governor of pantos's sudden provocation did not surprise many people.

Only the prince who sat on the throne of gold and ivory looked a little pale, while many governors in other places whispered and even laughed low to see how wesselis, a little devil with no hair, could deal with it.

Wesselis recognized the provocation in the other party's words, frowned slightly with a wine glass, and looked at the governor on the opposite side of the round hall.

"You're right."

"The royal education I received from childhood told me that people who regard alcohol as a success are either fools or men."

This sentence of wesselis is like asking whether the other party is a retarded person.

"And..."

"Sorry, who are you?"

Wesselis was just communicating with bellerian, and was a little distracted, so he didn't remember the governor's name.

But he remembered that the other party's main industry seemed to be wine.

Wesselis's voice fell into the round hall and laughed again, but this time it was not aimed at wesselis.

These governors also have fights on weekdays. Naturally, they are not monolithic. When they see him eat flat, they will laugh at him.

The gray haired wine merchant governor's face was obviously stiff, and then there was a sense of anger, and his eyes were shining cold.

As a powerful governor in the city-state, his manor was full of wealth.

The slaves and workers who serve him can line up the whole street. He only needs to pay the salary that can make them eat.

But even so, every day, many poor people came to his house to pray for such a job.

Because the governors of pantos monopolized all kinds of industries, the poor had no choice but to work for them, otherwise they would starve to death in the streets.

The accumulation of bloody capital that never sleeps makes him feel a little floating, and he feels that he has long become an omnipotent 'God'.

Even if it was the horse king of doslak, there was a large army in the air, which was not played by them.

Therefore, he was also one of the governors who coveted wesselyslon.

If pantos gets the dragon, then he will sprinkle gold coins to hire mercenaries, constantly conquer other city states, explore markets, accumulate capital, and then use capital to hire more powerful legions.

This is the dream of these radicals.

However, this young man who is not as old as his grandson doesn't seem to pay attention to him at all.

"Governor Bourne Rupert."

"A wine dealer who thinks highly of himself thinks that pantos people will drink the wine he brews."

When the atmosphere was a little cold, another governor who didn't deal with Rupert said with a sneer.

"However, his wine is far from as good as Qingting island."

The party has just begun, but the atmosphere has become a little strange.
