Game of Thrones: The Wrath of the Sleeping Dragon

After a moment of silence, Asha indicated that she needed to consult the Iron Throne. The pirate governor, Salado Sunn, understood, as this matter was of great importance and could not be agreed upon by a mere 'messenger'.

The pirate governor then quietly left Governor Morse's residence, as if he had never been there.

Asha sat on the bed and pondered for a moment, then called for people to drag away the Ironblood brothers at the door and wake them up.

He was indeed knocked unconscious by Salado Sun suddenly jumping down from the roof, but he was not seriously injured. However, the Ironborn who followed Asha into Mil City were both shocked and furious.

"Who did this?"

They hadn't expected someone to approach their 'princess' so quietly, but thankfully Asha was alright.

These Ironborn, who were once loyal to Asha's father, High Overlord Balon Greyjoy, still regarded Asha as their princess and Theon as their prince.

Because before the Iron Islands were attacked by the White Walkers, Balon Greyjoy had already once again donned the driftwood crown and proclaimed himself king in the Iron Islands.

Unfortunately, before King Balon could complete his mission of restoring the Ancient Road and invading the Greenlands, he was attacked by the White Walkers who came in a ship and stormed into Black Tide Island.

He once sent his third brother, Victalion, to Black Tide Island to find out the truth, but Victalion never returned, and his fate is unknown.

The White Walkers then invaded Pyke Island, and almost all the Ironborn were wiped out. Only a few Ironborn, led by Asha, fought their way out and escaped by ship.

However, Asha remained calm in the face of the Ironborn who were both shocked and furious. After a moment's thought, she told all her trusted Ironborn to keep quiet about the matter and to act as if nothing had happened.

The next morning, Asha Greyjoy went to the newly built governor's mansion in Mil as usual.

It was built on the ruins of an old palace, and the whole city was a blend of old and new, very magical realism, with broken ruins and new buildings mixed together, and you could take in both of these scenes from the street.

She bought the most distinctive local item, the 'Mil Eye,' a monocular telescope, at the market in Mil. It was a treasure that every navigator dreamed of, and the better the quality, the more precious it was. Asha was no exception.

Moreover, her fleet will need to bypass the riotous area of ​​the Long Summer Land and cross the deep sea of ​​the Summer Sea, so a good tool will naturally be needed to assist it.

Mil was famous for its lace, carvings, screens, paintings and carpets, which were exported to other city-states. Mil's fine window panes were even worth as much as spices from the East. These things were thought to have disappeared with the destruction of Mil, but they unexpectedly revived.

After formally meeting with the three governors of Mil, Asha left the governor's mansion and went to the market.

Meanwhile, a fast horse carried her handwritten letter to Pentos.

Pentos also had a princely palace, which once belonged to the Prince of Raggedy.

However, the ragged prince attempted to rebel and seek independence during a riot years ago, but little did he know that he had already been targeted by agents of the Ministry of the Interior. He was killed in the street as soon as he stepped out of the palace gates.

After that, the Prince's Palace was left unused and eventually became the office of Governor of Pentos, "Iron Face" Bessie Joyce.

A few days later, Asha Greyjoy's secret letter was delivered to Pentos, and her messenger, led by guards, entered the prince's palace.

"Commander-in-Chief."

The guards of the Prince's Palace are all professional soldiers, the personal guards of the First Army Commander-in-Chief. Bessie is a low-key person who rarely goes out, so very few people get to see him.

Tap tap...

Footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The Ironborn messenger had just entered the gloomy hall when he saw the man sitting on the throne.

"call..."

He couldn't help but hold his breath, then took a deep breath.

The other person's aura was so strong that it made him a little timid.

The first thing he saw when he entered the main hall was a cold, iron face facing him.

Sunlight streamed in from the windows on either side of the hall, illuminating the floor and stone pillars. The burly man sitting on the throne wore a cold iron mask, but his eyes beneath it were not clearly visible due to the light.

"What's the matter?"

The hall was completely empty, except for the man wearing an iron mask who sat on the throne. Then, a calm voice came from beneath the iron mask.

Contrary to rumors that his voice had become hoarse due to vocal cord damage from inhaling too much smoke, it was surprisingly pleasant to listen to.

"grown ups."

This seemingly unruly Ironborn, with his shirt open and chest exposed, surprisingly became much more subdued in the presence of Bessie.

He bowed deeply, then took out the Iron Islands princess's handwritten letter and handed it to the guard beside him to pass on.

However, when Asha Greyjoy's handwritten letter was handed to him, Bessie read it all and then placed the letter back on the armrest, her cold, expressionless face betraying no emotion.

"Go back."

"grown ups?"

The messenger, Tie Zhong, was slightly puzzled, as he didn't know what was written in the letter.

But since this mysterious governor, who didn't even show his face, ordered them to leave, the Ironborn man naturally didn't dare to stay. He could only bow once more and then leave.

Meanwhile, the commander-in-chief's personal guards, upon hearing Bessie's order, retreated without hesitation, pushed open the main hall doors, and went out.

Chapter 657 Acquiescence

However, after everyone had left the Prince's Hall, the man sitting on the central throne slowly raised his right hand.

Because of the severe burns he suffered, he rarely shows his skin to outsiders, whether it is winter or summer.

Bessie has maintained this habit for a long time; his face is always covered with an iron mask, which he has never taken off. Few people remember what he looks like, and his clothes are so thick that not an inch of his skin is exposed.

But at this moment, his palm emerged from the wide sleeves of his robe, and it was as pure as white jade, without any trace of burns or the charred blackening that had once been present.

Then a cloud of black mist slowly rose from his palm.

He couldn't see the black mist within his body, yet he was able to unleash it. He knew it was the source of his power, and also the seed bestowed upon him by His Majesty.

Only by having this 'seed' can it take root, sprout, and gradually grow strong.

Meanwhile, on the distant Narrow Sea, it was afternoon in Pentos, but Viserys in the Red Keep had just finished lunch.

After the family finished lunch, Arianne took their daughter Diana for a nap. Children are growing rapidly and don't have a concept of day and night, so they can sleep whenever they want.

After finishing her lunch, Daenerys went out to play with her best friend Missandei. They were going to class at the academy together in the afternoon.

Daenerys is interested in medicine, and she and the chubby Samwell Tarly study medical knowledge under the great physician Ambrose, while Missandei is more interested in the humanities.

Her linguistic talent was exceptional, mainly due to her outstanding memory; she could remember many things she had seen. Viserys could tell that Missandei's mental strength was indeed several times stronger than that of ordinary people, perhaps this was her unique innate talent.

If she had grown up in Westeros, she would likely have been considered a candidate for the Three-Eyed Raven, just like Brandon.

However, Brandon is of mysterious Stark blood; he is a wolf spirit. All Stark bloodlines are wolf spirits, but there are differences based on the strength of their spiritual power. Perhaps Brandon still has a significant advantage over Missandei.

The girl from Nath chose to study economics, perhaps because she was terrified of poverty when she was young. Even though Missandei lived in the Red Keep as Daenerys's handmaid, she was very frugal and felt that wasting anything was a sin.

Her biggest dream was to become rich and bring prosperity to her hometown, making the entire island of Nass wealthy, instead of being bullied and enslaved every day. Therefore, she chose the School of Economics.

Fortunately, the medical school, the economics school, and the theological seminary are not far apart, all located in the center of King's Landing, near the Great Cathedral of St. Baelor.

That huge circular plaza has several main roads leading to King's Landing, connecting to all the major locations in the city.

The Silent Nuns Street leads to the Dragon's Lair, now the Military Academy, while the main thoroughfare to the northwest is Shoemaker's Square, King's Landing's main scattered market. To the southeast of the main thoroughfare is Aegon Hill, the Westeros royal palace and the main gathering place for King's Landing's nobles, also known as 'Royal Hill' by the people.

After the silver-haired beauty Daenerys left, only Viserys and Reyne remained in the Red Keep's dining room, chatting about something.

"Oh, right, Viserys..."

Just as Renis was about to say something, the silver-haired youth's eyes flickered slightly.

"Bessie?"

Because of the 'seed' planted in Bessie, and Viserys as the 'source', the two can communicate directly through the black mist.

But Bessie rarely contacted him directly in this way; she would only use it to chat if there was nothing important to say.

"His Majesty."

On the other side of the Narrow Sea, the masked man sitting on the throne in Prince Pentos's palace closed his eyes slightly.

This is a telepathic communication; he can directly express what he is thinking, just like the connection between Viserys and his partner Balerion.

Dragon knights and their dragons have a connection, but the bond between Viserys and Belerien is far stronger than that between ordinary dragon knights.

The two were not only master and servant, but also partners and friends who fought side by side.

Viserys could sense Balerion's fluctuations in state, and Balerion could also sense Viserys's joys and sorrows.

After Bessie finished expressing everything she wanted to say, Viserys fell into deep thought.

"The pirate governor?"

“Salado Sun?”

He seemed to recognize the man; the man's claim of being a friend of Davos Seaworth, the 'Onion Knight,' further reinforced Viserys's memory of his identity.

This pirate governor seems to be a character who appeared in the original Trails. He helped Stannis attack King's Landing in hopes of obtaining a large reward and a title, but Stannis unexpectedly suffered a defeat at the Battle of Blackwater Bay.

Although he was later made 'Earl of Blackwater Bay', he never received Stannis's prize money, and in the end, Salado Sun left Stannis in despair.

However, in the current trajectory, Viserys' appearance is not like a butterfly flapping its wings and causing a tornado.

His appearance caused a huge shock to the entire world, from the Bone Mountains to the Sunset Sea, and may even have affected the ends of the world east of the Bone Mountains.

Dragons have returned to the land, and House Targaryen has once again secured the Iron Throne. The trading city-states have declined, and a mighty empire has risen in the west. Among the Dothraki, a Khal of Khals has emerged and unified all the Khalasar. Now, for some unknown reason, all the steppe knights are heading east.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a small-time pirate was influenced by Viserys and changed his original fate to become a so-called governor.

"Tell this pirate governor that the Iron Throne will not provide him with any support."

"Let him handle the rest himself."

Viserys pondered for a moment before giving an attitude that was tacit approval, but he wouldn't directly intervene.

A destroyed and rebuilt Mil is not worth sending troops to invade, as that would alert the surrounding trading city-states.

Although the trading city-states have declined in power and lost their position as the leader of the Western world, they are still a force to be reckoned with, and Viserys does not want to create unnecessary trouble before the North and Dorne are fully pacified.

After all, there is an even bigger enemy yet to appear.

Melisandre's prophecy of a five-year period is neither long nor short. After the Night King recuperates, he will inevitably unleash even greater waves that will sweep across the Seven Kingdoms.

Viserys never forgot that he had such an enemy waiting for him.

Chapter 658 Tracking the White Walkers

"Gah-"

A black-clad knight landed on a branch, looked down at the knight, tilted its head, let out a piercing cry, and then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

After recapturing Winterfell, the Night's Watch went on a rampage, conquering other castles and towns in the North, including Hearthstone.
