Chapter 86 Bronn’s Prisoners
With a piece of straw in his mouth, Bronn threw a hemp bag at Ian's feet, then squatted down and pushed aside the rotten vegetable leaves on the bag, and pulled out a man with his hands and feet tied. .
"Who is this?" Ian needed an explanation.
"You don't know him?" This time it was Bronn's turn to be surprised, but soon he added, "That's right, it's normal for the captain's son to not know an ordinary mercenary," Bronn said as he spoke. Pulling the prisoner's hair to make him look at Ian, "You should know him, right?" he asked the prisoner.
I know a ghost! The prisoner looked at Ian, confused.
"Oh, man, it's your fault for pretending to be stupid," Bronn showed a cruel smile, "You were very happy when you surrendered just now."
"That's enough," Ian interrupted the two of them, "Don't play riddles in front of me, just tell me, who is he?"
"The rebel mercenaries on your ship," Bronn replied.
Can all this shit come out of nowhere? Ian was a little confused: "How did you tell?"
"I was investigating the origin of the 'Stranger's Curse' in Flea Bottom. By coincidence, I met this friend." Influenced by Ian's habit of saying 'my friend', Bronn also began to like it now. Call anyone a 'friend',
"He was asking the innkeeper I was looking for if there were any [underground] related [relics] related to [death] nearby, and I happened to hear it from a distance..."
Players who bought clue three! Ian came to a conclusion instantly.
"My first reaction was that he was a subordinate of your first mate. After all, the clues you had were all given to you by your first mate in a letter. You said before that you could no longer be contacted. The first officer was here, so I chose to follow him.
This guy's concealment ability is quite strong, and he was out of my sight for a while. Fortunately, I finally caught him in a corner where no one was.
But when I mentioned your Laughing Lion to him and asked him about the first mate, he chose to play dumb.
So I told more information, and when I mentioned the chest and the Valyrian steel sword, he suddenly began to beg me for mercy.
Only then did I realize that he was not your first mate's subordinate, but one of those rebel mercenaries.
Moreover, the mercenaries were also fighting among themselves, and they themselves were looking for those accomplices who had obtained the treasure chest. " Bronn expressed his conclusion.
If it hadn't been out of place, Ian would have wanted to applaud Bronn for his brain power.
But okay, since your existence can help me tell my lies perfectly, then your visit to the world of ice and fire is not in vain.
"So, traitor, do you have anything else to say?" Ian looked at the captive player.
The captive player didn't know what to say for a moment. When Bronn captured him, he thought Bronn was a player, but now after hearing the conversation between the two, he discovered that this guy claimed to be the son of the captain of the Laughing Lion. He is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
"Well, since you have no last words, then..." Ian said as he drew his sword and walked towards the unlucky player. If possible, he still preferred to do it himself to get the full reward.
"To Robert Baratheon I, King of the Andals, Rhoynar, and First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Warden of the Realm, and Ser Gillian Lannister, Captain of the Laughing Lion. I, Lucion Lannister, sentence you to death for rebellion."
"Wait, Sir, wait," the prisoner didn't expect that the other party would take action directly, and quickly begged for mercy, "I surrender, let me go, me and me. Can we talk alone?"
"Okay," Ian raised his eyebrows, and then ordered the people around him, "Stay back...you two stay."
Ian's last words were to Rohr and Keith. Even if the opponent's hands and feet were tied, he did not intend to be alone with an enemy player.
It wasn't until Bronn and others left that Ian said, "Tell me, what are you going to say to me alone?"
"Them?" The prisoner looked at Rohr hesitantly.
"They are my NPCs, you can ignore them."
"Are you the player who got the 'first blood'?" the prisoner asked in surprise.
"Now is your time to show me your worth, my friend."
"Do you have any allies?"
"No." Ian shook his head and told the truth.
"As expected of a player who has grabbed the 'First Blood', he can develop such a huge force alone." The prisoner sighed, and then said excitedly,
"I want to invite you to join our alliance. There are three of us. Our current power is very strong. If we add you, we can almost book the winner's position!"
Booking a victory worth $250,000 per person? For this little money, would we come to a different world and risk our lives? Do you believe it yourself? "Oh?" Ian pretended to be very excited, "Where are your other allies?"
"No, sir," the prisoner forced a smile, "Only if you join our alliance first can I tell you about other allies. Otherwise, my informing behavior will be regarded by the system as backstabbing allies, and I can't afford it. This loss.”
"So, you still have a lot of points?" Ian smiled.
The prisoner's expression suddenly changed, but after saying this, he could not deny: "Yes, there are quite a few more."
"After buying clue three, there are still a lot of points left. Your alliance has eliminated a lot of players."
The prisoner didn't answer any more, his intuition told him that this 'Sir Lucien' had no intention of forming an alliance.
"If my guess is correct, you are the winner of the first phase of the player competition in Pentos, right? By casting a net near Illyrio's mansion, you eliminated many players who carelessly wanted to defect to Dragon Mother? Perhaps you also completed a complex optional mission and gained a lot of points?"
The prisoner remained silent, but the cold sweat on his forehead still betrayed the panic in his heart.
"And this time you came to King's Landing, you did not come on the same ship. You divided into two groups. Your two allies took your main force and rushed to Silent Sister Street to live there to attract other players. Attention, while you secretly investigated the whereabouts of the treasure chest through those few clues in Flea Bottom?"
"You? You" the prisoner wanted to say something, but couldn't.
"I can't join a four-person alliance. You should know that coming to this damn place for 250,000 dollars is a joke, if you can't show me your other values." Ian touched the hilt of the sword again.
"I know where the treasure chest is." Unexpectedly, this time the prisoner said something shocking.
"What did you say?"
"I can tell you the location of the treasure chest, but you must agree to my conditions first."
"You are not qualified to make conditions with me."
