Chapter 85

As one of the nine free trade city states, it is not surprising that the governor of pantos should give a gift to wesselis.

Andalos is a newly built city. It has only been built for five years, but it has absorbed a large number of andals. Now andalos has a city scale of 80000 people.

Although andalos does not solve the problem of poverty, it still has a large number of poor people. Its main export depends on traditional animal husbandry and planting. The vast plain and mild climate are suitable for planting crops and captive livestock.

However, andalos has a huge single-minded ethnic population, and the war potential has grown to a point that can not be ignored. As a close neighbor, pantos has to be nervous, which makes this time ilileo's envoy.

One fades and the other grows.

The strength of pantos has long been the bottom of the nine free trade city states.

The reason is that pantos once had a war with bravos because of the problem of slavery. Bravos asked pantos to abolish slaves in the name of freedom, but pantos refused to accept it.

Then six wars broke out between the two sides over a period of 200 years, and bravos won four of them.

The last time happened ninety-one years ago. Pantos cut his throat and sacrificed four princes to the gods within a year. However, he still couldn't change the sharp decline of the war.

Bravos' invincible fleet blocked the port of pantos, which eventually led to the governor of pantos having to sign a humiliating treaty and kneel down for peace.

Publicly announced the abolition of slavery, the prohibition of the slave trade, and a wide range of reduction in the number of warships owned, only 20 were allowed to remain, and all the other pantos warships were scuttled and sunk into the sea.

At the same time, pantos shall not hire mercenaries, enter into contracts with the free mercenary regiment, or maintain any army beyond the city guard.

After the war ninety-one years ago, although pantos had huge walls, it was still widely regarded as the most vulnerable of the free-trade city states.

It was for this reason that the governors of pantos maintained a kind attitude towards other free-trade city states, the king of doslakma and all the forces around them that might pose a threat to them.

Over the years, pantos has cultivated feelings with a series of powerful CAOS, giving them gifts and gold and silver to ensure that their kalasa will not invade pantos, and can provide protection for pantos at critical moments east of the Ron river.

Illyrio's visit is to reach friendly and cooperative relations with this newly built city andalos with such a mission.

It is commonly known as making friends.

And pantos has a unique way of making friends.

Illyrio clapped his hands. Gold and silver jewelry, gifts and wine stuffed with ten carriages were listed in the hall, including four slaves in illyrio's personal name.

Two strong slaves who fought for five consecutive victories in the arena, and two female slaves with good figure and beauty.

Wesselis sat on the throne and was slightly stunned. He looked at the hall filled with gold, silver and jewelry, various gifts and four slaves. Although he had long known that pantos made friends in a special way, this way of smashing money

Do you look down on people too much?

Wesselis was silent for a long time, looked at everything in front of him, and finally waved his hand.

"Take it."

There were too many golden dragons consumed in the early stage of the construction of andalos. Although the revenue and expenditure had already reached the balance, he did not know that daily necessities, rice, oil and salt were expensive. Wesselis was naturally distressed to see that the family property in the vault had shrunk by more than half.

In line with the principle of saving a little, we can only accept these wealth.

As for the four slaves, wesselis ordered the guards to tear up their deeds, stay in andalos if they wanted to stay, and let them leave if they didn't want to.

Because he was close to bravos, wesselis didn't want to find something for himself. He once wanted to send the "Red Snake" Oberon to astapo to buy clean people to expand his military and protect the city. However, due to bravos's pressure, he cancelled the purchase order.

Bravos, as a city-state built by slaves, opposed all slavery in the world.

However, wesselis did not directly refute the face of illyrio. Although the other party was polite, the governor of pantos still held power, so wesselis directly accepted these slaves and dealt with them.

When illyrio saw that wesselis had accepted these gifts, his face also showed a smile. Accepting the gifts represented accepting the goodwill of pantos, and most of his mission had been completed.

Then the fat governor put forward a new invitation.

"Your Majesty."

"One more thing."

Illyrio stood in front of the chair, bowed slightly with a big belly, and then said.

"Your governors of pantos have heard a lot about you and hope to invite you to pantos as a guest. At the same time, the governors have prepared more generous gifts for you."

"To visit pantos?"

"More generous gifts?"

Wesselis sat on the throne with a slight frown, then looked sideways at the attendants around him, and Bessie looked at the little king on the throne, and did not understand the intention of governor pantos.

Since gifts are not given directly this time, why do you have to go to pantos by yourself?

Is it

"Dragon egg."

Illio, standing under the hall, was a straightforward opening.

"Sure enough."

Wesselis's good-looking eyes narrowed and wiped it clearly. He knew that illio had dragon eggs in his hands. Similarly, only this level of gifts could induce him to leave andalos and go to pantos.

In fact, wesselis also wants to buy dragon eggs in recent years. However, before hatching, dragon eggs are as hard as a good-looking stone, which is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between true and false.

"I once bought three dragon eggs in the shadow east of Asia, although they have become fossils because of the long years."

Illyrio stood where he was and spoke respectfully.

"I'm not sure if it can hatch, but I'm sure your majesty may be interested in it."

"Indeed, you are right, governor."

"I'm really interested in dragon eggs."

And wesselis rose from the throne, and then went down the steps to illio, looked at the eyes of the rich merchant governor in front of him, and said in a calm voice.

Because he is good at exercise, the little king's height has risen again, only about one head lower than illyrio.

And erielio looked at the little king who came to him, especially the lavender eyes. I don't know why he felt a little nervous.

"I promised."

However, I heard wesselis's calm voice.

"Your Majesty?"

Bessie, standing behind the throne, was startled when she heard wesselis's words.
