Chapter 55 Sea Palace
The actions of the Zainen family were far beyond Tormo's expectations.
The shadow of the moon, which had disappeared for more than half a month, has made a comeback.
They actually let themselves suffer a big blow without saying a word!
There are actually two key factors in the three major families' fight for the throne of Poseidon.
The first is the attitude of the current Aquaman.
After all, he is in a high position. If he has to choose one side between the two families, he may provide some help intentionally or unintentionally.
Then the possibility of that family being elected will increase.
Another is the opinion of many merchants in Braavos.
This is also a factor that the three major families have to consider.
Before, the Frega family was determined to become the next Sea King.
But the problem is that both the current Aquaman and those businessmen have a somewhat aggressive attitude and methods.
Now that the Zainen family has chosen to stand up and fight hard, many variables have increased dramatically.
If the Zainen family unites with the Antalion family, it will lead to a change in the wind direction among other merchant groups.
Tormo ordered his personal guards:
"Prepare the carriage, I want to go meet that old man Ross!"
And Ross is the current head of the Zainen family.
...
Braavos Purple Harbor
Sea Palace.
As one of the iconic buildings of Braavos, its design is extremely luxurious.
The entire building was painted sea blue.
The corners of the palace, about one meter from the ground, are inlaid with shells, conchs and corals.
Passing through the blue gate, the neatly lined-up guards show the strictness of the place.
At the same time, as the 'illegitimate daughter of Valyria', there are also dragon elements here.
A giant dragon statue is crawling in the center of the Sea King's Palace.
However, their 'dragon' has a thick tail like a fish's tail fin, and there are even webbed feet between its claws.
It looks like a giant dragon with fish elements added to it.
It fits the keyword 'illegitimate daughter' very well.
There is a lake in the Sea King's Palace which is connected to the outside waterway, and the Sea King's yacht is docked on the lake.
Blue smiley-face masks were hung from bow to stern of the ship.
A long string of masks looks like the yacht's 'hem'.
On weekdays, Sea King Frego usually likes to stay on the boat.
At this moment, a middle-aged man with brown eyes and a serious expression walked in. He was the chief swordsman of the Sea King - Quarrel Valentine.
A small paper roll was handed to Aquaman, who took it and looked at it, with an obvious smile on his face.
Even the somewhat gray complexion has a hint of redness.
"Okay, let them fight, ahem."
Frego coughed twice and handed the scroll to Quirrell.
As Quirrell looked at the contents on the small note, his forehead, with its obviously receding hairline, became even shinier.
"Your Highness, it seems that all this is caused by Viserys."
"I thought that the Crown Banquet would be a big blow to him, and he might never get over it. I didn't expect... this Targaryen is really impressive." Frego said with a smile.
In just half a year, he has heard about Brother Long Er three times.
The first time was with Banerja from the Xiongyu Society.
The second time was the production of soap.
The third time is now.
When the soap he 'invented' first came out, Frego knew that the Frega family would definitely end up like this.
But I didn't expect this guy to be so fearless, and I don't know how he contacted Zain En.
He had even asked someone to inquire about Viserys's condition before.
Ever since the Fregar family came knocking on his door, Viserys seemed to have been staying at home.
Frego thought he had surrendered, but he didn't expect that he had such a big move.
'But how did he convince the Zainen family to help him fight against the Frega family? Just relying on the shadow of a moon?'
Frego frowned and thought, but he had no idea for a moment.
Let's put this matter aside for now.
As the King of the Sea, he always has the initiative, so he just needs to wait and see.
Although Frego's health is not very good at the moment.
But according to the development of the original plot, he will have to be the King of the Sea for at least six or seven more years.
At this time, another official came in from outside, carrying a wooden tray.
There were a dozen white shells on the tray.
"Your Highness, it is time to choose a topic for the poem."
"Um."
Frego responded and saw that three of the shells seemed to be carefully placed in a conspicuous position.
A look of understanding flashed across his eyes, but suddenly he seemed to have made up his mind. He shuffled the shells like playing mahjong, then picked out three at random and threw them on the table.
The shell was flipped open to reveal several Valyrian words.
...
When Herbo found that the Frego family didn't seem to care about him, a small shrimp, he returned to his residence.
When he learned about the situation of Morel and his son, he felt very proud of himself for choosing to cut ties with Brother Long.
Compared to the destruction of Morel and his son's family, he only lost some money.
The one percent of money you invest in the workshop should be considered as money to buy your life.
He took a sip of the wine from Qingting Island and sighed in his heart:
"Tsk, this wine is so damn expensive!"
As the celebration approaches, the price of drinks in Braavos changes every day.
Especially that group of mercenaries, which directly increased the alcohol consumption in Braavos by 40%.
This does not include other tourists.
Even the wine that he used to drink casually is now a luxury for Herbo.
But at least I can sit here and drink...
At this time, Herbo's servant came in, holding a heavy box in his hand.
"Sir, this is the 'dividend' given to you by the workshop."
"What?"
"The Morel family's workshop."
"They're not... How is this possible!"
Herbo took out the money box and found it was heavy. He opened it and saw that it was full of golden dragons.
At least four hundred gold dragons!
"How is this possible?!"
Herbo really couldn't understand it, as he had clearly been to the workshop.
The workers ran away, the raw materials were gone, and Morel and his son had to go to deliver the goods with their heads held high!
"How do they deliver the goods?"
"I heard that it was the Zainen family's carriage that pulled Moon Shadow to the workshop, and then… I'm not sure." The servant thought, unable to understand the situation.
"Zayne, Zaynne, Zaynne..."
Herbo seemed to be stimulated by something and kept muttering Zainen.
"Could it be Viserys? How...why...?"
For a moment, Herbo seemed incoherent.
A figure quickly emerged in his mind, but he was unwilling to believe it.
But the facts are there, these yellow little cuties can't be faked.
Herbo suddenly realized that if Brother Long really got on Zainenda's good side, the production of soap would not be affected in the future.
I should have just laid back on this business and enjoyed the dividends.
But because of his previous cutting behavior, all of this came to nothing.
When he realized that he had lost not three hundred or five hundred gold dragons, but three to five thousand gold dragons, he felt a dull pain in his chest.
"Get me a carriage! I need to see Lord Viserys!"
