Shortly after stepping into the palace, Rollo came to meet him with two dusty captains.
One of them, Liu Qian, recognized him as Colliam Sasman, the captain of the "Dance of Shayara", who was the old subordinate of Salado Thorne.
The other was a typical Telosi, with long slightly greasy brown hair loose casually, and the most striking thing was the wisp of beard dyed bright emerald green on his chin, which added a bit of cunning and bohemian temperament to his ordinary face.
Rollo respectfully introduced: "Your Majesty, this is the captain of the 'Storm Dancer', Morio Tumitis, who has been begging for more than thirty years in the wind and waves of the narrow sea, and has four ships under his command, sometimes doing some business of transporting passengers and goods, and sometimes ... :"
Rollo paused and looked at Morio.
Morio immediately interjected: "Do something unseemly." "
He spoke frankly and observed Liu Qian's reaction.
Liu Qian looked at Morio with interest, his so-called unseemly things should be smuggling.
Morio took a step forward, revealing the smuggler's unique cunning temperament, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I don't know if you are interested in a business. "
Liu Qian asked curiously: "Let's listen to it: :"
Morio smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I travel between both sides of the narrow sea, and I haunt the northern border the most on weekdays, as everyone thinks, the profit of doing business normally is thin, and a storm may bankrupt me, so I took a risk, and at the risk of being beheaded, I smuggled a lot of wood in the north, and a lot of the wood that Lord Rollo bought on the black market in Spearhandle Village came from my ship."
However, in recent months, we have found some special creatures in one place that may be able to sell them for a good price here.:"
Liu Qian spoke directly: "Captain Morio, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." "
Morio's voice became even lower: "We found a unicorn lair while cutting timber in the coastal forest of Skaggs Island.
There were several adult unicorns living there, and we didn't have enough manpower at the time, so we had to turn back. "
Skaggs Island? Unicorn?
Liu Qian narrowed his eyes and became interested,
There is not much ink on Skaggs Island in the original work, and Liu Qian knows very little about it.
I only know that there is a group of descendants of the ancestors who call themselves rock species, who are barbaric and uncivilized cannibals.
They are semi-independent of the rule of Westeros, and although nominally loyal to the Starks in the North, there is little evidence of their loyalty.
In the original storyline, Duke Edd's youngest son, Ricken, would be brought there by the female savage Osha.
Unicorn traces have been rumored on Skaggs Island, but the bones of unicorns have never been found.
Morio was able to run to Skaggs Island to steal trees, and he also stepped on shit luck and found traces of unicorns.
Liu Qian immediately said: "Captain Morio, do you want me to send someone to help you catch the unicorn?" "
Morio quickly explained: "Your Majesty, it's not you who help me, it's me who will help you, I will show the way for your soldiers and bring out all the living unicorns." "
Liu Qian smiled, he looked at this captain Telossi, who was quite knowledgeable about current affairs, and his eyes showed a glint of appreciation.
"So, Captain Morio, what do you want from me?"
Morio said a little embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, can you give me some tax incentives, my fleet is getting bigger and bigger, and it is probably not realistic to continue to do smuggling work, if you can reduce the tax on my fleet, that would be great." "
Liu Qian nodded and said, "You got my promise, as long as you can bring back the living unicorn." "
Morio was overjoyed, and hurriedly brought Corian over: "Your Majesty, I have been friends with Captain Corrien under Master Rollo for many years, and he is also very familiar with the situation in Seal Bay, please allow me to travel with him and catch unicorns for you." "
Liu Qian looked at Colin and agreed.
Since Rollo can bring the two of them over, it means that Morio must be looking for Corian first, and then finding Rollo together.
Liu Qian said to Ke Lian: "Captain Ke Lian, if you can complete this difficult task this time, I will promote you to the commander of a small fleet." "
Corian had a look of joy on his face.
He and Mezzo Maher were captured by Liu Qian in the Bone Eater Gorge.
But Mezzo immediately gained Liu Qian's reuse through his intelligence capabilities, and was even fully responsible for the negotiations of the Seven Kingdoms Mission, becoming the real power of Telossi.
Collien also had the ambition to make a career in his heart, and he had no talent in Salado before, so he could only be a small captain.
But at this time, he seemed to see the dawn of hope.
Collien said seriously: "Your Majesty, you will see the unicorns I brought back." "
Rollo left with the two of them.
Liu Qian pondered in his heart.
Unicorns are rare animals.
At present, only Skaggs Island and Iban Island have been rumored to be infested with unicorns in the world.
He was wondering if he could get some unicorns and breed them on a large scale, whether he could form a unicorn cavalry regiment.
Unicorns are tall and stronger than ordinary military horses.
And they are fast, have strong endurance, and can adapt to different terrain environments.
The general heavy cavalry military horse needs to choose the best among the best, constantly breed horse breeds, and select the best horse breed for the most heavy cavalry riding.
The reason is that the armor and weapons of heavy cavalry are very heavy, and ordinary horses cannot carry such heavy things, let alone run to fight.
Unicorns perfectly solve breeding problems.
As long as unicorns grow to adulthood, their physical fitness will naturally be stronger than that of top military horses.
What's more, the unicorn also has a spiral unicorn that can attack enemy horses.
Just when Liu Qian was immersed in strategic conception, Mei Zuo's round figure quickly walked into the hall,
"Your Majesty, Duke Eddard Stark has sent official information that the King of the Seven has appointed a high-ranking minister as a plenipotentiary envoy and will arrive in Telosi in the near future to sign the final armistice."
Liu Qian's eyebrows were raised, with a hint of playfulness: "Oh? They finally accepted our conditions in full? No small actions attached? "
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mei Zuo bowed and replied: "The messenger revealed that they will bring 300,000 golden dragons in war reparations, as well as additional ransoms raised by each family, to prepare to retrieve those nobles in distress. "
Liu Qian keenly captured the key information and asked: "When did the finances of the Iron Throne become so generous?" They should have no money. "
Mezzo nodded and said: "This is also the case, the Iron Throne has been exhausted, and there is no golden dragon in the treasury, but the Duke of the High Court, Metz Tyrell, has reached out at this time, and they will sponsor the royal family with 300,000 golden dragons to repay the reparations." "
"The Tyrell family?"
Liu Qian's brows furrowed deeply: "When did the Tyrell family become so generous? "
A trace of alertness rose in his heart.
