The dense fog always made Braavos's nights exceptionally gloomy and dark. On a pleasure boat in the northeastern inner sea of Braavos, Youtanlian was secretly meeting Governor Patilius.
"Governor Patilius, how is it? These are indeed three genuine Dragon Eggs, aren't they?"
Youtanlian opened a crack in the purple wooden box containing the exquisite Dragon Eggs, allowing Patirius to clearly see the three Dragon Eggs: one black, one green, and one platinum.
"They are indeed Dragon Eggs, but they seem to show signs of petrification, don't they? Such Dragon Eggs are already very difficult to hatch."
Although he said this, the greedy look in Governor Patilius's eyes was almost tangible.
"That's not something I can judge. Perhaps it's because our Ruiyaan Family's Valyrian bloodline is thin. Anyway, after several decades, they still haven't shown any signs of hatching. But your Patriolius Family has a genuine Dragonlord Family bloodline, so there should still be a very high chance of hatching them, right?!"
"As far as I know, many Dragons have hatched from Dreamfyre's Dragon Eggs, and each one is powerful in bloodline and exceptionally talented. Caraxes, Meleys, Simoros, and Aposos are all unique Dragons."
"So... Governor Patilius, the value of these three Dragon Eggs..."
"Ten million gold Dragons!"
Patirius immediately gave his offer.
Upon hearing this, Youtanlian slammed the lid of the sandalwood box shut and angrily rebuked him,
"If you have so little sincerity, then don't waste my time. I think if I return the three Dragon Eggs to Princess Daniella, the Ruiyaan Family can certainly escape this incident successfully and also gain the friendship of a true Dragonlord Family."
Seeing that Youtanlian was truly angry, Patirius quickly said with a ingratiating smile,
"Don't be angry! It's just that our Patriolius Family really can't come up with anything more."
"You wouldn't think that after taking these three Dragon Eggs, you can continue to safely stay in Braavos and be your carefree Governor, would you?!"
Youtanlian kept scrutinizing Governor Patilius with an expression like he was looking at an idiot.
Being mocked by the fop Youtanlian, Patirius immediately felt his dignity greatly insulted. He then said displeasedly,
"What do you mean by that? Do you mean that I should leave Braavos immediately after getting the Dragon Eggs?"
Youtanlian immediately praised him with a playful smile,
"Governor Patilius is smart. After all, the world is so big, where can a Dragonlord Family with three Dragon Eggs not rise again? But places near House Targaryen are out of the question, because once they get news of you hatching Dragons, they will definitely destroy you at all costs."
"These Dragon Eggs might not necessarily hatch Dragons."
Patirius knew Youtanlian was right, but as soon as he thought about having to leave Braavos after getting the Dragon Eggs, his greed and desire were immediately suppressed.
"Leaving Braavos for such a vague hope is really not worth it!"
Seeing Patirius chicken out at this moment, Youtanlian continued to fan the flames,
"Yes, after all, so far, besides House Targaryen, I haven't heard of any other Dragonlord descendant who could hatch Dragons. Perhaps House Targaryen is the true Dragonlord Family, and others are just fake Dragons or imposters!"
"Hmph! Their House Targaryen was only a medium-sized family in Ancient Valyria back then. Our Patriolius Family is no worse than them."
"We just haven't had the opportunity to get Dragon Eggs. We know best whether we have true Dragon blood. The fact that our family's premature babies have Dragon features is the best proof. This..."
Patirius suddenly realized he had said too much and quickly stopped himself, as this was his family's secret.
However, this unwillingness and vexation also made his ambition and greed swell again. His true Dragon bloodline completely reignited his desire at this moment.
The internal heat seemed to lick at his entire body's blood like flames, making him gradually feel a surge of power. And he seemed to feel three scorching flames in the sandalwood box in Youtanlian's hand attracting him.
"Let me check the condition of these Dragon Eggs again. I seem to have a strange feeling about them!"
Seeing that he was finally tempted again, Youtanlian opened the sandalwood box once more.
Patirius stretched out his hands and gently stroked the three extraordinarily exquisite Dragon Eggs. The Dragon Eggs, which should have been cold, surprisingly emitted a hint of warmth the moment he touched them.
The captivating luster on the Dragon Eggs made Patirius's eyes slowly become hazy. In a daze, he seemed to see two men and one woman in a raging fire being placed with Dragon Eggs to be burned, until the flames consumed them...
"Creak~"
"Oh my! It's three Dragons!"
Patirius suddenly awoke from the illusion. But at this moment, the three Dragon Eggs in his hand had become cold again.
However, the fire of desire in Patirius's eyes had completely ignited. His normally blue pupils seemed to be tinged with a strange purple glow.
"Okay, I agree!"
"I can transfer the shares in the Iron Bank, the Patriolius Family's territory and palace, and a hundred fishing boats to you. This is worth no less than one hundred million gold Dragons. This far exceeds the value of three Dragon Eggs. What will you compensate me with?"
"No, no, no, the party you need to trade with is not us, but Osiris Governor and his people. You first mortgage or sell your assets to him. Then, just give us thirty million gold Dragons."
Youtanlian immediately corrected Patirius,
"However, if you want to quickly sell your assets, he will definitely try to lower the price. It's estimated that getting sixty to seventy million gold Dragons would be good."
Upon hearing this, Patirius couldn't help but look a bit suspicious,
"Why go through such a big detour? You don't need to leave Braavos?"
Youtanlian explained candidly,
"Not needing to doesn't mean never needing to. How much longer can my father's body hold up in the position of Sea King? We also have to consider and plan for the future!"
"Now that the Dragon Princess has come knocking, as the current Sea King family, our Ruiyaan Family faces the greatest pressure. Who knows what the situation will evolve into in the future? Of course, we need to make more plans, so the more cash we have, the better."
Hearing Youtanlian say this, Patirius found it very reasonable. Although Sea King Youtanlis seemed to be getting along well with Daenerys now, if the compensation they offered next did not satisfy her, no one could guarantee whether the tragedy of the House of Black and White would repeat itself.
After the two happily reached a consensus, they called in the courtesans from outside. As fellow travelers in the world of pleasure, they had a very enjoyable night.
In the thick fog, the lights of the pleasure boat swayed with the wind, surrounded by devouring darkness.
