Game of Thrones: Royal Game

Chapter 255

It took a long time for the guard who notified him to leave, which gradually made Euron who was waiting by the boat impatient. When did he experience such neglect?

I think about when I went to see someone before. Well, it seems that I haven't seen anyone for some years. All the people I met in these years went to see the Drowned God.

From Iban to Asshai, whoever sees my sails will pray.

But Euron took a deep breath and decided to endure.

Compared with the humiliation of being exiled by Balon in the Iron Islands, this slight is nothing at all.As long as he won the heart of the queen who was said to have hatched the dragon, not to mention the mere Iron Island, the whole of Westeros in the future, no, the whole world would crawl under his feet.

Thinking of this, Euron began to rejoice over the storm they had encountered off the coast of Oros.

He might have gone straight for Braavos after leaving the Sea of ​​Smoke if the storm hadn't destroyed the two warships he was traveling with and lost most of their supplies.

Just two months ago, when they were exploring the ruins of Valyria, their ship was taken by a strange storm to the ruined city of Oros on the northern shore of the Sea of ​​Smoke.

It used to be the second largest city in Valyria's Freedom Fortress. At its peak, its prosperity was second only to Valyria's capital city itself. Besides Valyria, it was also the place where dragon kings lived the most.

In Euron's original plan, what he wanted to explore was not Oros, but the lost city of Valyria itself. He went straight to Valyria in his first trip to explore the sea of ​​smoke. go.

However, after Euron's fleet entered the Sea of ​​Smoke, bypassed the ruined city of Telia, and sailed through the fragmented peninsula within less than two hundred nautical miles, most of the crew on board began to be cursed one after another. It took less than three days to die.This forced Euron to give up his first adventure.

After that, most of the sailors who participated in Euron's first adventure also died in the following months, only Euron himself miraculously survived.

This made him believe that he was under the protection of the Drowned God.

So in the second year, Euron prepared the second Sea of ​​Smoke adventure. This time he did not dare to go to the center of Valyria, the center of the doomsday catastrophe, but chose Telia on the south coast of the Sea of ​​Smoke. Target.

This time the situation of the crew was much better. Although some sailors were still cursed and died from time to time, most of the crew under him were fine.

This led Euron to conclude that the intensity of Valyria's doomsday curse gradually decreased from the center of Valyria City.

Therefore, Euron began to explore in the sea of ​​smoke with confidence, but the strange thing was that although he had confirmed the location of Telia on the ancient map countless times, he was still unable to find the city from the beginning to the end.

After sailing in the sea of ​​smoke for three months, Euron found that more and more sailors began to show the symptoms of the curse. In order to avoid not controlling his own ship on the return journey, he had to give the order to return.

But Euron didn't get nothing this time. During the voyage in the sea of ​​smoke, he found a strange storm here.Most of the ships that have sailed into the sea of ​​smoke these years have entered and never exited, and humans can't find the secrets of those ancient ruined cities on the map. It seems that this storm is in it.

More than three months ago, Euron prepared his third adventure in the sea of ​​smoke. He led three ships including the Tranquility from Volantis, and once again entered the sea of ​​smoke.

But this time, he was lucky enough to be brought into the city of Oros on the northern shore of the Sea of ​​Smoke by the storm.

Here Euron discovers an ancient dragonlord's mansion where he finds chests of gems, ancient Valyrian gold coins, a fabled Dragonhorn, a set of Valyrian steel armor, and a dragon egg.

With all this and having successfully escaped from the Sea of ​​Smoke, Euron was going to sail straight to Braavos.

There, he will use the dragon egg to exchange Aquaman's order for the Faceless Man to assassinate his brother Balon Greyjoy.

It’s just that after he lost the supply ship, the food on the Tranquility was not even enough to support him sailing to Volantis to replenish supplies, so he had to choose to sail east and came to the New Ghis in Cedar The small port built on the ruins of the ancient Varos city on the island is resting.

It was there that he heard from the sailors of New Ghis that the Dragon Queen had come to Astapor.

At first, Euron thought it was a ridiculous joke. After all, before he entered the sea of ​​smoke this time, he had just heard that Pentos had fallen in Volantis, and the last two remnants of the Targaryen family had already been with Pantou. The news that Toss was buried together.

And the little girl who had been buried in the sea of ​​fire has transformed into the Dragon Queen. She not only owns the dragon, but also the army of the Unsullied and the Iron Legion. Now the entire Slave Bay and New Ghis have joined her alliance to fight together. The horse king who destroyed Pentos?
Euron didn't think it was funny at all, so he told the sailor who had told him the joke his way - piercing the sailor's head with a spear and sticking it on the roof of the tavern.

His provocative behavior attracted the siege of the defenders of Varos Port, and then Euron bloodbathed the entire port, successfully buying the supplies he needed for zero dollars.

But when he was about to turn around and go to Braavos, he was surprised to find that all the captives' confessions were the same, about dragons, the Unsullied, the Iron Legion and the Alliance of Ghis.

So Euron temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and decided to come to Astapor to see for himself.

And when the Serenity sailed into this ancient port of Slaver's Bay, the orderly heavy guards on the pier and the red three-headed dragon flags on the tower seemed to prove to him that the rumors were true.

Then what faceless man would he trade dragon eggs for?
As long as I can conquer this little queen, let her help me hatch my eggs into a dragon, and then match my horn of the 'Dragon Binder', I will become a dragon knight!Dragoons in every sense of the word!

"Lord Greyjoy, Her Majesty is here to invite you." A voice suddenly interrupted Euron's thoughts.

He looked up, only to find that an Unsullied Captain who seemed to be from the pyramid area came in front of him.

"Can my men bring the presents I prepared for Your Majesty?" Euron said, pointing to the three pine boxes that had been moved to the deck. "I believe Her Majesty will be delighted by this."

"That's your freedom." Captain Unsullied didn't get the relevant orders, but as Ian's bodyguard, he knew that eight out of ten people Ian met would bring gifts, and Ian always followed orders He took them all, so he didn't refuse Euron's offer to bring a present.

So soon, almost ten sailors carried the box and followed Euron's pace, walking towards Ian's pyramid.

After passing through the port, Euron saw a total of three barracks along the road. There was no high wall between the barracks and the city, and he could easily see the soldiers practicing on the school field.

How good would it be if these armies belonged to me?Euron's heart felt hot.

Then, they passed through the Pride Square and came to Ian's pyramid.
