Chapter 324

Time flies, and elves have taken root in Westeros for a year in a blink of an eye.

In this short but fulfilling year, countless nobles and commoners have made a lot of money by virtue of the cooperation and trade with the elves, and even paid off all the debts owed to the Iron Bank!
The influence of the elves on Westeros has reached an unprecedented level, and even those nobles who secretly still loyal to the Targaryen family have to choose to temporarily restrain themselves.

After all, compared to the remnants of the Targaryen without any information, the deal with the elves earned too much...

In this case, the whole of Westeros seems to present a thriving and beautiful scene, as if peace has really come to this continent.

Of course, not all people and elves are satisfied with this harmony and tranquility:

For example, the Western Territory who is being beaten and neglected, and the Drucci soldiers who are doing nothing all day long!
——— Wang Ling, Black Tower Academy
"Master Rohan, the morale of the entire Duluqi army has become a little impetuous. Many soldiers are eager to feel the killing and blood on the battlefield, rather than old age."

Located in a bustling palace with a misty icon, Mars, the captain of the Silver Mist Guard, was carefully approaching Rohan, who was sitting on a futon absorbing divine power, and nervously expressed the demands of the soldiers.

He knew that this request might go against Rohan's strategy all along, but the young man's desire to kill was really suppressed to the extreme!
Although Rohan has been doing his best to change the thinking of the elves under his command, the Drucci Empire is still a slavery empire known for its brutal killings.

After all, the law of the ancestors is immutable, and the instinct to kill and cruelty for nearly ten thousand years have already been engraved in their blood. How can Luo Han change it overnight?

In order to vent their desires, the noble girls near the king's territory have already been bullied by those boys, and entering and exiting the castles of those nobles is almost as proficient as returning to their own homes.

If it weren't for the fact that most of these feelings were based on the money relationship between the two, and Cersei took the initiative to help suppress those discordant voices, I am afraid that the letter of complaint would have been sent to Robert long ago.

But this is not a long-term solution after all. After all, most of the Drucci elves are scumbags who have found new loves and abandoned old loves, so they must find a way to let them vent their desires.

After all, if this continues, the children will be suffocated!
"According to the days, it seems that our good friend Robert is about to be murdered. After all, that little finger will not just sit and watch this continent continue to be peaceful."

After finishing the training for absorbing divine power, Luo Han couldn't help but stretched and stood up from the futon, then counted the time with his fingers.

Just a few days ago, members of the lurking court in King's Landing reported to him the news that Jon Arryn was looking for Robert's illegitimate child, and undoubtedly discovered something wrong between the three golden retriever siblings.

Coupled with that restless little finger fanning the flames everywhere, the whole of King's Landing and even the continent of Westeros is destined to be messed up.

And this is exactly what Luohan needs now!

The year-long peace and stability has already allowed the power of the Inquisition to touch every city in Westeros, and at the same time, the identity of the elves has been recognized by all humans.

After all, the main force of Rohan's elves had already passed through the Land of Eternal Winter to the Iron Islands. After being disguised, they joined the Ironmen team who plundered the West and the Reach, and disappeared from human vision.

In the eyes of humans, there are only Rohan and the thousand elf warriors stationed in the Black Tower Academy in the entire Westeros continent, and they are nothing to fear.

However, who would have thought that the 'Ironborn' who have occupied all the coastline cities in the western region at this moment are actually all elves' troops?

"Let the lads bear with it, this continent will soon be in chaos, and there will be plenty of war and glory for us to enjoy.

By the way, remember to inform those members of the Tribunal who are outside to continue searching for the magic secrets of this world. I am going to make this world a world dedicated to teaching magic, so that they can pay more attention. "

"As ordered!"

After hearing Rohan's order, Mars couldn't help being secretly surprised, and couldn't help but start to figure out Rohan's intentions.

After all, the magic of the Drucci Empire has always been monopolized by the supreme sorceress of the tower of sorcery, Gorond, and even the powerful fear lords have no right to interfere.

And because of the prophecy in the legend, Lord Witch King strictly forbids male Durucci to learn magic, which leads to the fear lords can only obtain the power of magic by hiring those sorceresses.

Is Lord Rohan planning to bypass Gorond and directly train his own magic forces in the future?

After all, although the magic cast by humans is inferior to elves in terms of power and scope, if Lord Rohan really gathers the power of the whole world to cultivate mages, it will definitely be a terrifying force!

"Well... it seems that it is time to inform Dario and ask him to send some members of the Inquisition to another continent to find magic."

(Essos not only has the fire magic of the God of Light, but also the water magic and various witchcraft that flooded the seven armies, which can be regarded as a wide variety)

——— King's Landing, Red Castle

At the imperial meeting, Littlefinger Petyr was standing in front of the table holding an envelope from the northern border. The worried expression on his face made people have no doubt that he was a minister of finance who cared about the country and the people.

However, if someone can come closer to observe, they will find that Petyr's eyes are like a cunning fox secretly looking at the King's Hand sitting in the center, and his eyes are full of faint jokes.

And Old Jon obviously hasn't noticed the dark and sinister heart of this young man who was single-handedly picked up by him, and at this moment he is having a headache and asking others:

"Duke Ed from the North has sent a trade letter requesting economic volunteers again. What do you ministers think about this?"

Hearing Old Jon's question, Petyr, the chancellor of the exchequer, immediately stood up and refused with a sneer:
"Hehehe, almost all the caravans heading for Winterfell were attacked by those Wild Hunting elves. Now that we have suffered heavy losses, why do we need to reinforce them in vain?"

"You can't say that. After all, there are no caravans, and the finances of the northern border alone are not enough to support the wild hunting army, not to mention that a large amount of farmland used for winter has been burned."

Compared to Littlefinger's indifference, Varys cared more about the safety of those northerners, so he took the initiative to persuade him:

"Now that the national treasury is rarely full, why don't we simply send out the joint army again, to conquer those Iron Islands who provoked the war with the Western Territory, and at the same time to encircle and suppress those wild hunting elves?"

"My lord Chief Intelligence Officer, do you think that we can do whatever we want after we have paid off the debts from the Iron Bank, don't forget that we still have debts from House Lannister and the River Bend!

Oh, I almost forgot, we don't have to pay back the money owed to the Lannisters. After all, those ironmen have already captured Casterly Rock, so there must be no difference between paying back the money and giving it away. "

Speaking of this, Petyr's face was full of sarcasm, and he did not hide his joy at not having to pay back the debt owed by Lannister and his complacency.

After all, although the national treasury owed the Lannister family 300 million golden dragons, a lot of the money was embezzled into his pocket and used to expand his intelligence network in King's Landing City.

Now that Lannister is in dire straits, since the treasury doesn't need to repay the money, he also doesn't have to worry about his greed for money being exposed, so he is naturally happy to see it happen.

"Lannister... I didn't expect them to end up like this..."

"Their family has always emphasized that 'the Lannisters must pay their debts'. They didn't expect that half of the country would be occupied by the ironmen. It seems that their strength is really not as good as before."

Hearing Littlefinger mentioning the battle situation in the Western Territory, the other ministers also fell into emotion, but most of them maintained the attitude of watching a show, and obviously had no intention of speaking out to help.

Just like what Petyr said, the treasury owed too much money to Lannister, and they all thought that the Lannister family could be destroyed quickly, and then they could go whoring for nothing.

As for the expansion of the Iron Islands?
Who in this world doesn't know how poor the iron people's land warfare is. Even the land in the west that is now occupied by the Iron Islands is mostly coastal areas.

Obviously, the strength of those ironborn was still as vulnerable as before, except for relying on the sea as a cover, there was no change in tactics.

As long as the Royal Navy can attack, then everything will be fine!
"But, Lannister..."

Recalling the anonymous letter he received some time ago, Old Jon, who was the Hand of the King, couldn't help but look at the Iron Throne not far away, and then fell into emotion.

Everyone else thought that the prime minister was lamenting because of the tragic experience of the Lannister family. Only Littlefinger knew that the other party was worrying about the suspected affair between Cersei and James.

That's right, that envelope was sent by him!
'This old man must be hesitating whether to expose this matter now, after all, the princes and princesses are the apprentices of the elf lords, and if they act rashly, they will definitely offend the elves, so what should you do? '

Looking at the gray-haired Jon Arryn, Petyr couldn't help but a look of complacency flashed across his face, obviously very satisfied with the game he played.

So what if Robert is allied with the elves?

As long as the elves can be drawn into this war about heirs, then the whole of Westeros will fall into unprecedented chaos, and it is also a great opportunity for him to take the opportunity to rise to power.

Through this year's observation, Petyr has understood a profound truth:

Whoever can please the elves in the ensuing chaos will be the next ruler of the Iron Throne!
As a qualified conspirator, he can naturally see that the elves are secretly using economic and military power to control Westeros. At the same time, he also knows that these elves are definitely not as pure and kind as they seem.

But what does this have to do with him?
I didn't look at the illegitimate son of the North named 'Ramus Snow', who has almost become the new darling of King's Landing since he climbed the elf's lap!

Not only has the power to control the trade of elven goods to Westeros, but even obtained the elven potion that is suspected to be able to keep youth forever, which has attracted countless nobles and wealthy businessmen.

But Petyr has researched that Ramsay, as an illegitimate child, was able to obtain his current status not only by his own persistence and hard work, but also by betraying his country and seeking glory!
In addition to handing over all the money that the nobles donated to the elves, it was because he completely abandoned his identity as a Westeros, and instead completely put the interests of the elves first.

While it was humiliating to do so, in Petyr's view, it was nothing more than a means to claim the Iron Throne.

He is stronger than a traitor!
As a finance minister who secretly betrayed the interests of the country, Petyr not only gave the green light to all elf commodity trade, but even deliberately suppressed the local market to set off the elf commodities.

Even in order to obtain the handprint of the king's hand to issue higher-level instructions, he has often visited the wife's room in the prime minister's tower this year, and has worked tirelessly to add color to the prime minister's hat.

What's more, the Hand of the King didn't even know that his beautiful wife, Lysa Tully, who was just over [-] years old, was a woman whom he had played with since he was a child, and she had already taken his shape.

It was because of his treason and glory that he was successfully selected by the elves as an 'excellent partner', and even told him that the elves were behind the Ironborn.

But in order to be able to cooperate more deeply with elves, he had to make some sacrifices:

"Master Prime Minister, I heard that you seem to be looking for the illegitimate son of our king during this time, do you need our help?"

Petyr slowly put away the envelope in his hand, then narrowed his eyes, picked up a book from the table and handed it to Old Jon, then said earnestly:
"If you really need to know about the family background of our King, then I suggest you read this book, I believe he will definitely bring you many wonderful little surprises."

"This is... "Genealogy of Noble Lines"?"

Looking at the book that Littlefinger handed him, Old Jon was slightly puzzled. Although he now had some doubts about the identities of the three Joffrey brothers and sisters based on intelligence, he hadn't completely suspected Cersei's cheating.

Although he didn't understand what this young man who was single-handedly wanted to do, Old Jon still naively thought that the other party wanted to help him, so the book finally thanked him:
"Thanks, maybe your help will be of great use to what I'm investigating now."

"Ahem...that's what I should do."

Looking at Old Jon who was solemnly thanking him in front of him, Littlefinger almost couldn't hold back the expression on his face when he thought that he was still in love with his wife last night.

But he knew that the queen in the Red Castle who had been thinking about climbing onto the elf's bed all day would definitely not sit idly by, but he probably couldn't come up with such a profound plan with his brain alone.

Well, it seems that I still need to provoke him!
