Game of Thrones: Overlord of the Deep Sea

Chapter 170 Euron's Promise

Gilbert Farwin walked up the hill as the first applicant with his three sons and assistants.

He promised that if he becomes king, he will take the ironborn to build ten thousand longships like Nymeria and go to the land of hope on the other side of the sunset sea.

He brought presents of sealskins, walrus tusks, whalebone armbands, and bronze warhorns.

After distributing the gifts to everyone, the reaction was mediocre, and Gilbert Farwin was not disappointed about it. He just wanted to gain fame and never thought that he could really become the king of the Iron Islands.

Then "Anvilbreaker" Airi sat in a finely carved driftwood sedan chair and was carried up the mountain by his three grandsons.

His presents were countless silver, copper, and iron coins, armbands, collars, daggers, and throwing axes.

"Pfft, hahaha, uh, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back, but if Lord Airi can stand up, then I will be loyal to Lord Airi."

Asha Greyjoy's words made everyone laugh.

Airy Emek, also known as Airy the Just and Airy the Anvilbreaker, is the fearless raider of the Ironborn and the aging lord of House Emek.

Eli weighs about twenty stone. He is 89 years old now. He has snow-white hair and a long bushy beard, which is also snow-white. He is carried around while sitting on a chair. hammer.

But Airy, who is now close to 90 years old, can't even wield a huge hammer. Even if he is given a small wooden hammer, he may not be able to pick it up.

Seeing everyone's ridicule, Ai Li was so angry that he wanted to struggle to sit up from Jiaozi, but the 89-year-old had no tendency to stand up no matter how hard he tried.

"Master Airi, I advise you not to try it. Eighty-nine years old is a long life. Maybe you can live to be a hundred years old."

Asha's words aroused ridicule from everyone again, and finally Ai Li sat down with a flushed face.

Dunstan Drew went on up the hill, assisted by Adric the "serious" and his two sons, Donner and Dennis.

Zhuogu's incitement is quite convincing, but his spouting speech gradually loses its appeal to everyone.

And Drogon's presents were so stingy, even Gilbert Farwin's, that bronze could never buy a crown.

Victarion Greyjoy walked up the steps next with his assistants, Newt the Barber, Raff the Cripple, and Raff the Red Stonehouse.

He was very popular, and the cascade of silver, gold, and gems he brought won Victarion even more supporters.

Seeing this scene, Asha's teeth itch. Originally, the gold and silver belonged to her. She was going to use the gold and silver to win the support of the captains, but they were all taken away by this third uncle.

At that time, because she was occupying Deepwood Motte with 1000 people, when she got the news that she was returning with 400 people, Balon Greyjoy's third brother Victarion had already emptied the warehouse of Pike Castle. No left for Asha.

Knowing that she couldn't wait any longer, Asha Greyjoy joined the crowd, aided by "The Maiden" Cole, Tris Stephen Portley, and Heras Harlow.

Asha took out a pebble from Rayjoy's bosom, and opened the box behind her, which was full of pebbles.

Euron Greyjoy smiled wickedly, and it caught Asha Greyjoy's eyes, which annoyed her a little.

If Jack was there, he would find that Euron is not like a clown jumping around like in the American TV series.

At this moment, Euron revealed a kind of elegant madness, and his one eye shone with a confident and crazy light, which put a lot of pressure on Asha Greyjoy.

"My dear niece, as an uncle, I have to ask, because it is a matter of honor to our Greyjoy family, are you really going to entertain the captains with pebbles?"

"If you don't have any money, I can lend you some, but isn't it too perfunctory for you to use cobblestones? These things are everywhere on the Iron Islands."

Euron Greyjoy's words got everyone nodding their heads, obviously they were very dissatisfied with Asha Greyjoy's gift.

But Asha Greyjoy did not panic, but said calmly:
"Everyone, this is a pebble of the Rocky Coast, which symbolizes the "treasure" that the Ironborn traded their lives for in the battle against the North."

Asha asked her assistant to open several other boxes.

"Here are pine cones from Deepwood Motte and turnips from Winterfell. Deepwood Motte is in my hands, and the North is willing to exchange Deepwood Motte with Sea Dragon Point and Stony Coast.

As long as I become the king of the Iron Islands, I promise to give you a rich land. You no longer have to rely on mining iron ore for a hard life. You will have green land to cultivate, and you can live by the sea and fish anytime, anywhere.

Whether you choose to go back to the ancient road to pay iron money, or choose to live a stable life to farm and do business, you will receive my blessing. Land, peace and victory are my promises to you! "

Asha's words attracted the support of some people, and some people chose to support him because of Asha Greyjoy's identity.

At this time, Victarion's supporters immediately mocked the woman who couldn't even bring out a chest of gold and silver. Who knows if the pebbles, pine cones, and turnips are real?

This directly ignited the king selection meeting, and the supporters of both sides began to push and insult each other, as if the fans of the two idols were arguing over who was the more handsome idol.

The two sides pushed and shoved and cursed, and when they were about to fight, a dull horn sounded suddenly.

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and the heavy horn sound had an indescribable deterrent force, which went straight to the depths of the souls of the crowd.

When everyone looked around, they found that it was Clergon, Euron Greyjoy's assistant, who blew the horn, but they didn't realize that there was something wrong with Clergon who had blown the horn.

Their attention was all drawn to Euron Greyjoy, who at some point stood in the center.

"You guys let me down, I can't believe what you've been through all these years to make you so weak!
Look at these gifts, look at what they promised you, a shore?Peace?Or a victory as small as a pebble? "

Euron Greyjoy looked at the previous competitors with disdain, and then said loudly:
"I've traveled all over the world, including the mysterious and dangerous Valyrian ruins, where I got a dragon egg, a set of Valyrian full armor, and this—a dragon horn."

"Any dragon that hears the horn will obey me, and I happen to know where the only four dragons in the world are.

I will sound the horn, drive four giant dragons, and give you the whole of Westeros. The ironborn will become the noblest race in Westeros, and the continent will prostrate at our feet! "

Then Euron Greyjoy asked his assistant to open other chests, and a large amount of gold and gems blinded everyone's eyes, and even no silver could be seen in it.

　The Old Way is the term the ironborn use for their raiding traditions.Looting property through war instead of buying is what they call "paying iron money".
