From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

Duke Eddard, who couldn't help but admire Chen Hui's plan, pondered for a moment, then hesitated and said, "But I promised to help Robert keep the throne. If I do this..."

"Father!" Sansa could no longer bear it and rushed to Lord Eddard, begging, "Father, please agree to Jon's proposal. This is my lifelong wish! I beg you!"

"Uncle, you did promise King Robert," Chen Hui said, striking while the iron was hot. "But didn't Robert also say he wanted to rule the kingdom with you and marry his children to yours?"

"Besides, you can't be 100% sure that Tommen Baratheon is not Robert's son, and hair color cannot be used as conclusive evidence."

"You know, I, a Targaryen, don't have silver hair either."

Duke Ed, who was completely blocked and had no excuses, could no longer bear the increasingly eager gazes of his wife and children. He stood up and rushed out the door, delaying as he walked, "Let me think about it, let me think about it carefully. Let's talk about this later..."

"Father!" Sansa, already somewhat bewildered by the promise of an infinitely bright future, became anxious upon seeing this. She immediately wanted to chase after Lord Eddard and continue pestering him, but Chen Hui, standing beside her, pulled her back. He shook his head and said, "Let my uncle think it over. If nothing unexpected happens, he'll probably agree. After all, this is the best situation for the Stark family."

"You must believe that your uncle will be a qualified head of the family, Sansa."

"Jon, thank you, thank you for helping me plan this." Sansa Stark also knew who was the biggest contributor to this move. She immediately hugged Chen Hui's neck excitedly and said happily: "I will never forget this! One day I will definitely repay you!"

"Alright, alright, don't get too excited." After struggling to pull Sansa off him, Chen Hui earnestly warned her, "If you really want to be the powerful queen, Sansa, you must prepare yourself now. This isn't something you can achieve simply by being a good lady."

"Once my uncle has made his decision, the Stark family must finalize the marriage between the North and Highgarden as soon as possible. At the same time, we can explain this plan to Olenna Redwyne, the Queen of Thorns. This old lady is a skilled strategist. If she is willing to guide Sansa in her duties at court, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to her future as ruler."

【At the same time, benefits can be shared. Only in this way can the alliance last.】

This is what Chen Hui said in his heart. He was too lazy to explain it to these Starks. He guessed that they would not understand this Eastern philosophy of sharing the benefits equally.

"Jon, thank you so much for your help." After calming down the agitated Sansa, Catelyn Tully said with a guilty conscience, "I've been so mean to you in the past. I'm truly sorry for that."

"No need to apologize, Aunt." Chen Hui shrugged nonchalantly. "For an illegitimate child whose origins are unknown, you didn't push my head under the water and drown me when I was little. I'm really grateful."

Seeing Catelyn Tully's awkward expression, Chen Hui asked, "Can anyone take me to the mausoleum? I should go and pay my respects to my mother."

"I'll take you there." Catelyn Tully stopped the children who were eager to try and nodded. "I also know Lyanna. Let me take her son to see her."

A moment later, under the guidance of Duchess Catelyn Tully, Chen Hui entered the Stark family cemetery for the first time and saw the tomb of Jon Snow's biological mother, Lyanna Stark.

"I remember when I opened my eyes, I saw a dying woman lying flat on a large bed soaked in red liquid."

Gently stroking the statue of the woman whose face was no longer visible, Chen Hui, after taking away the associated luck, murmured with feigned melancholy, "Then a man rushed in with a bloodstained sword. The woman called him Eddard, calling him brother, and then handed me to him, telling him that I was her son with a man named Rhaegar, and hoped that he would take good care of me and protect me."

"The man named Ed agreed, and then the dying woman took her last breath with a smile on her face. At the time, I didn't know that this scene actually meant death."

"It means I'll never see her again."

Seeing Chen Hui's desolate back, Catelyn Tully, with her maternal instincts aroused, couldn't help but step forward and comfort him, "Your mother is a great woman. She and your father truly loved each other, and you are the fruit of their love."

"Yes, but the price is huge." Chen Hui shook his head and said, "Too many people have died because of their feelings. I really don't understand whether it's worth it."

"At least, Lyanna never regretted it until her death."

A male voice suddenly came from behind, and then Duke Eddard slowly approached. He stared at his sister's statue and said sadly, "At least she was smiling until her death."

"What kind of person is my mother? Uncle."

"Lyanna..." Lord Eddard murmured in his memory, "Lyanna was very beautiful. She had long dark gray hair and dark gray eyes. She loved the winter roses that bloomed in Winterfell very much, but when she smiled, any rose would be eclipsed."

"Unlike her beautiful appearance, Lyanna had a very strong character. She had always wanted to learn swordsmanship, but her father would never allow it, so she devoted herself to horseback riding, refusing to be an obedient lady."

"...It sounds like Arya." Chen Hui sighed softly.

"Father once said that Lyanna had the 'blood of the wolf', and I think Arya seems to have it too."

Lord Eddard smiled bitterly and said, "They even look very similar, but Starks who possess the 'Blood of the Running Wolf' seem to be unable to escape the fate of dying young. This happened to Lyanna, and so did my brother Brandon. I hope Arya..."

"Edard!" Catelyn Tully could no longer bear it after hearing this and interrupted Duke Eddard's next words in a harsh voice.

Chen Hui shook his head upon hearing this, bowed slightly to the statue of Lyanna Stark, and then turned to Eddard and his wife and said, "The past is the past, and the dead can never come back, but the living must continue to move forward. I will not let Arya repeat her mother's mistakes."

"I will be away from Winterfell for a while. When I come back, I will take Arya to the Eastern Continent on the other side of the sea. I will make Arya extremely powerful, so powerful that no enemy in this world can harm her."

"I promise.".

Chapter 27 You finally showed up, Crow's Eye

Balon Greyjoy has been in a bad mood these past few days.

It turned out that after receiving the news that King Robert died unexpectedly and Duke Eddard was imprisoned in King's Landing for treason, he was excited for the whole day.

After all, his hatred for these two people was too strong. They made him lose the throne and two sons. Even his only son was sent to Winterfell as a hostage since he was young.

Therefore, when he was forced to swear an oath of loyalty to King's Landing and the North, Balon Greyjoy actually swore a second oath in his heart.

That is, one day he will take revenge on Robert and Eddard and completely plunder the cities of Winterfell and King's Landing, whether they are alive or dead.

He almost did it.

As a result, only one day later, Duke Ed returned safe and sound.

And the reason was actually just an illegitimate child who was originally unknown.

Jon Snow, the Storm Sword Master, how could he fight one against a hundred? How could such a ridiculous thing happen in this world!

This must be a trick of the North! Eddard must have used some despicable means to escape from King's Landing like a stray dog!

That must be it!

It has to be like this!

Balon Greyjoy, who had already had his bones broken by Lord Eddard and dared not take any action while he was still alive, did nothing but drink like crazy in the following days, while constantly cursing Eddard, Jon and other names to vent the long-standing depression in his heart.

Why! Why don't you just die, Ed?

Why do you have such an outstanding illegitimate child!

Why did two of my sons die, and the only one left can only stay in Winterfell, influenced by a group of womanizing Northerners and no longer resemble an ironborn.

Will the Iron Islands ever see the light of day again?

Will I, Balon Greyjoy, ever wear the crown again and restore my glorious reign as King of the Iron Islands?

"I'm afraid there's no chance."

In the damp and dim room, there should have been no one else except the angry and hungover Balon Greyjoy. After all, the guards and concubines who were originally responsible for serving him had been chased away by the old squid, who had been angry and humiliated for days but did not want to be seen in such a dejected state.

But at this moment, a deep male voice suddenly sounded behind Balon Greyjoy, and then a hand covered his mouth as he was about to shout, and at the same time, he suddenly struck the vital part of his spine on the back.

Then, the Lord of the Iron Islands, who dreamed of returning to the throne all day long, collapsed like a real mollusk, as if he had no bones.

With one palm, the most important spinal nerve of the human body was shattered. After confirming that the old squid was not far from death, Chen Hui, who was covered in a black robe, left the room silently, as if he had never been there.

By the time Yara Greyjoy, the third daughter of the old squid, discovered all this, several hours had passed.

After learning that their Lord of the Iron Islands had inexplicably become a paraplegic and could not even speak, the election of a new Lord of the Iron Islands was put on the table imminently.

There are two suitable candidates. According to the order of succession, the new lord of the Iron Islands should be Theon Greyjoy who is in Winterfell, so many people suggest that he be brought back immediately to take over the position of lord of the island.

However, another group of people objected to this, believing that Theon Greyjoy had been in the North for too long and was no longer a true ironman.

The one who can lead the Iron Islands to continue moving forward should be Yara Greyjoy, who has been staying here and fighting alongside them. She should be the new female owner of the island.

The two groups were deadlocked, neither able to convince the other, so no one noticed that another group was secretly releasing a raven across the ocean to contact another Greyjoy.

A day later, when Euron Greyjoy, who was still far away plundering the southern coast of Westeros, received the letter, a hint of arrogance suddenly appeared on his gloomy face. He chopped off the head of the prisoner in front of him with a sword and laughed triumphantly, "My good brother, you are finally going to die! Then I can return to the Iron Islands! This time I will be the king of the Iron Islands and send your two children to see you!"

Euron Greyjoy had been sailing and plundering in various places for a long time, and he was very well-informed and had easy access to information. He was well aware that shocking changes were about to take place in Westeros.

As long as he can seize the position of Lord of the Iron Islands, he can form an alliance with Lannister or Baratheon, share the fruits of victory of the Iron Throne, and become the biggest winner of this battle.

He didn't want to be a rootless pirate anymore. He wanted to be a nobleman, a royal. He wanted the whole world to submit to him.

Well, but first we have to hurry back to the Iron Islands.

Full of fantasies about leading the army of the Iron Islands to conquer all enemies and even the wonderful prospect of sitting on the Iron Throne in the future, after releasing a raven to let his supporters hold back the two siblings, Euron Greyjoy rushed forward at full speed for three days and three nights at an almost crazy speed, and soon arrived at the sea only tens of kilometers away from the Iron Islands.

Then, a sailor found him dreaming in the captain's room.

Since Euron Greyjoy cut out the tongues of all the crew members, the crew can only communicate with him using gestures.

After seeing the person in front of him gesturing, Euron Greyjoy thought that someone from the Iron Islands had gone out to greet him in advance, so he walked to the bow with joy in his heart. He was immediately disappointed to find that what was blocking his way was just a small sampan, and the person standing on it did not look like an Ironman from the Iron Islands at all.

Without bothering to look at the man's face, Euron Greyjoy, in a bad mood, waved his hand and said to his left and right: "Shoot this blind thing to death."

On the other hand, Chen Hui couldn't help but feel very happy when he saw the face he had been thinking about for several days finally appear.

It was worth it that he had been using the ability of "Skinchanger" in the past few days to project his consciousness onto countless seabirds, monitoring the hundreds of miles of sea area near the Iron Islands, and finally discovered Euron Greyjoy's trace at the first time.

After all, his ship, the 'Tranquility', was very easy to spot. Not to mention the huge naked woman on the bow, the crew on the ship all communicated silently with their hands. Chen Hui knew that this was the target he had been waiting for.

So, don't say anything, just do it.

Chapter 28: The Treasure of House Targaryen

He suddenly pulled out the Zhenwu sword in his hand, and threw it with all his strength. It hit Euron Greyjoy's chest as he turned around to speak, like a long rainbow.

Then, there was a loud "clang" sound, and Euron Greyjoy, who had no time to react, was knocked back by this sudden attack, and the Zhenwu sword was actually bounced into the air and did not pierce the opponent's body.

"It's indeed the Vareisteel Armor!"

The Zhenwu sword is extremely sharp, and the only thing in the world that can stop it is products made of Valyrian steel. Therefore, Chen Hui was not surprised but happy when he saw this. He immediately used the "Tiyunzong" body movement technique and jumped onto the ship.

Zheng Chen then caught the flying sword and swung it with a flash of cold light, killing several crew members who had instinctively drawn their weapons. He then walked towards Euron Greyjoy, who was lying collapsed not far away.

He was hit head-on by the thunder. Although he saved his life by the Varra steel armor on his body, the huge impact force still shattered Euron Greyjoy's sternum. The broken bones directly pierced into his internal organs, and blood flowed from all his orifices. It was obvious that he was definitely not going to survive.

"Sorry, Vareisteel is not vibranium, so it has no shock-absorbing effect."

Although normally the person in front of him was doomed to die, but considering that this was a magical world where even the dead could be resurrected, Chen Hui chopped off Euron Greyjoy's head with a sword after complaining, and took out a small bottle from the space and poured some powder on the wound.

The complete version of 'Corpse Dissolving Water', the best choice for destroying corpses and covering up traces.

Then, in the horrified eyes of the mute crew members, Euron Greyjoy's body quickly turned into a pool of pus like melting ice and snow, leaving only an intact black shirt in its place.

After ordering the frightened crew to take a thorough rinse with clean water, Chen Hui picked up the black top made of Varelan steel and took a look at it.

After marveling at the extraordinary forging technology of Valyria, which allowed them to make metal into clothes to wear just like Wakanda in Marvel, Chen Hui was quite surprised to find that there was still a key that had not been melted. The ripple-like pattern on it showed that it was also made of Valyrian steel.

"He's so rich that even his keys are made of Vareisteel."

After putting the armor and key into the space, Chen Hui waved to call a crew member and led him to the treasure house of the ship.

Then, the harvest was great.

I can only say that he is worthy of being the pirate king in the TV series. This guy has robbed a lot of things over the years. The total value of gold, silver and treasures is close to two million gold dragon yuan, which is dozens of times more than the gold that Chen Hui brought to this world.

Thinking about how Robert had squandered money lavishly for more than ten years and only owed a debt of six million gold dragon yuan, Chen Hui was very satisfied with the gains of this trip. The only drawback was that there were only gold, silver and treasures here. It seemed that more precious treasures must be placed somewhere else.

For example, the captain's cabin where Euron Greyjoy is.

After arriving at the captain's room that originally belonged to Euron, Chen Hui drove away the crew member who led him, looked around the luxuriously decorated room, then took out another porcelain bottle from the space, poured out some powder and blew it away.

"Poison detection powder" can be used to check whether a place contains poison. When it is non-toxic, it is colorless and odorless. When it is poisonous, it will turn into various colors, and the type of poison can be determined based on the different colors.

Then, except for the location of one painting turning a deadly red, nothing else changed, and it seemed safe and harmless.

He then took out a pair of poison-isolating gloves from the space and put them on. He carefully took the painting off the wall, and then he found a huge cabinet hidden behind it, which was made entirely of Valyrian steel.

"Fortunately, I found the key, otherwise I wouldn't know how to open this cabinet." After confirming that there was no poison on the cabinet, Chen Hui took out the key and opened the cabinet. The moment the cabinet door opened, he suddenly jumped to the side to avoid any poison arrows suddenly shooting out from inside.

Better safe than sorry, the ancients were right.

After waiting quietly for a few seconds and making sure that there was no poison installed in the cabinet, Chen Hui took out the things inside one by one. He found that there was no "Dragon Horn" as he had imagined, but only a notebook, a long sword with a sheath, and an extremely large dragon egg.

It's really big, almost the size of a basketball, and about a circle larger than Daenerys's three combined. I really don't know where Euron Greyjoy got this thing.

Moreover, unlike the blue-gray color of ordinary dragon eggs, this huge dragon egg is completely black, with faint golden lines flashing. It is obvious that it is not comparable to ordinary dragon eggs, and its origin is probably quite extraordinary.

This reminds me of Euron Greyjoy's boast in the TV series that he could marry Daenerys the Dragon Queen. Although he said it was with the fleet in his hands, it now seems that it was with this special dragon egg.

After all, many forces have fleets, but such a large dragon egg is unique, and there is a certain chance that Daenerys will agree to marry for it.

Then, Chen Hui found out that he was wrong.

The real killer weapon was not the dragon egg, but the long sword with scabbard. After carefully identifying it for a moment, Chen Hui was surprised to find that this was actually the supreme treasure of the Targaryen family - the Varley steel sword 'Blackfire'.

It's out of the blue that this thing is also in the hands of Euron Greyjoy.

Looking at this sword of royal inheritance that was comparable to the imperial seal of China, and feeling the faint sense of blood connection coming from it, Chen Hui was shocked for a moment and then had no doubts. This sword must be the legendary sword "Blackfyre" that was held in the hands of "Conqueror" Aegon I Targaryen to conquer the Seven Kingdoms.

With the family's most precious sword, the Blackfyre, and a special dragon egg, Euron Greyjoy's dream of marrying Daenerys in the TV series is not just a fantasy, but a piece of cake.

With these two earth-shaking treasures, Daenerys would definitely marry him without saying a word, without even frowning.

After carefully appreciating the perfect blade of the 'Black Fire' sword with ripples, and sincerely admiring the extraordinary craftsmanship of this famous sword handed down from generation to generation, Chen Hui turned his attention to the notes beside him, thinking that all the secrets were in this navigation record.

According to the records in the navigation notes, Euron Greyjoy did travel to the ruined Valyria.
