Chapter 118

The succession of this era is a serious and complicated matter. Of course, it is also possible to turn into an absurd, inexplicable situation. That's it for now.

Theon and Euron openly speak in the council hall to canvass for votes while the bones of the previous lord are still cold. At this time, Asha also sided with her brother. She had never looked down on this younger brother. But she knew she couldn't let Euron take the throne. Over the years, Byron has not been unaware of Euron's movements. So Asha knows very well what kind of person Euron is.

If you let Euron take the throne, then the first thing you can do is to eliminate yourself and your brother. This man is a madman, and he can do this kind of thing. And the younger brother, although brainwashed by Stark's weak thoughts, is his own brother after all, at least he will not kill himself.

However, the reaction of the people on the Iron Islands was mixed. It is said that Asha and Theon are also orthodox. Euron has been away from home for I don't know how many years. But these guys don't seem to be very cold to Theon. If you think about it, you can understand that these elders are old guys. I'm afraid it's still stuck in the era of King Cologne, who is robbing everywhere.

Since being defeated by Stark, the Iron Isles have been looting as much as they used to. I guess these old guys are angry with Theon. Euron saw that he had the upper hand. looked at Su Yuan with some pride.

"Looks like I'm going to trouble you to attend my succession ceremony." However, Su Yuan smiled. Because he just remembered a very interesting thing.

"I remember, it's not enough. It seems that the succession of your Iron Islands will still pass the test of drowning. What's going on, press you into the water, die once, and then what......"

Asha suddenly understood. "Yes, you haven't gone through the ritual of drowning. Not even the lords of the Iron Isles. ”

After listening to Su Yuan's words, Theon glanced at Su Yuan with a strange face. He had already guessed what Su Yuan wanted to do, but he knew Su Yuan's ability.

The consciousness of drowning is very simple, which is to press a person into the water and stay for a while. It seems that he has to wait until the other party is in shock and then drag it out. If the other party can come to his senses, it will be considered passed. It means that it has been approved by the drowning god. By the way, the so-called Seven Gods never showed the slightest divine power in this story.

Euron didn't care about that, he was a pirate, and he didn't know how many times he had experienced this kind of thing. Only this time, there was a wizard standing next to him.

"Wait a minute." An elder said suddenly. "We all know that this guy is a wizard. What if he plays a ghost in a ritual? "This guy is smart, he actually guessed that Su Yuan might be a ghost.

"What the hell? Make no mistake, this is a ritual of drowning, and I'm just a wizard. Do you think that I am more powerful than your great drowning gods? In that case, I'll leave. ”

"Uh......" At this point, the guy was speechless, this kind of thing can't be said casually. Attacking his own beliefs, without Su Yuan's action, the surrounding iron people will tear him apart.

But it was a reminder of Yolun. His face became tense. With his complexion, several somewhat unfamiliar figures silently approached Su Yuan from behind. Obviously, it means that if he dares to make a move, he will attack him. Byron turned around and was about to draw his sword, but Su Yuan stopped him.

"There's no need for that, these will all be Theon's people in the future, that is, their own people. So, let's keep it. ”

Poof, Euron was pressed into the water by an elder. In fact, as soon as he entered the water, Euron sensed that something was wrong. His chest was suddenly squeezed by an invisible pressure, and the breath that had been reserved was squeezed out at once. I subconsciously took a breath, but all I inhaled was a mouthful of cold seawater.

Within five seconds, he was struggling. This surprised everyone around him. According to Eurolen's level, it won't be impossible to hold out for five seconds. But the ritual had just begun, and it ended in five seconds, which was also a bit too watery. Even if the elder wanted to release the water, it couldn't be so exaggerated.

The ceremony ended in an awkward situation. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that in less than a minute after the opening, Euron was out of breath. By the time he dragged him out, the whole guy was almost cold. The atmosphere was a little strange for a while. The elders who had thought that Euron would be able to lead them back to their glory looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In the end, it was Su Yuan who broke the silence.

"Alright guys, are there any heirs who have popped up out of nowhere? If not, wouldn't it be possible to hold Theon's succession ceremony? ”

"No, since it's the succession. Then Theon must also go through the same ritual of drowning. An unknown elder spoke. At this moment, Su Yuan's face became gloomy.

"Really? But think about it, Theon is the last Greyjoy man. If he dies in the ritual, you will be killing the last legitimate heir. What are you going to do then? A blatant usurpation? ”

"Asha is also Greyjoy. She ...... "He didn't finish because a throwing knife slit his throat." Su Yuan walked to the middle of the crowd with a pale face.

"I've been wasting time here since last night for this of yours. From beginning to end, there was not a word that made me happy. This upset me, so I decided not to waste any more time. Now, begin preparations for Theon's succession ceremony. Finish before noon. Who is for and who is against? ”

The scene was silent. Everyone was complaining wildly in their hearts. Who the fuck would dare to object. Because of the dozens of elders on the scene, each of them had a blade without a handle floating in their throats. Look at that posture, whoever dares to oppose it will have to go three inches into the knife.

Su Yuan was also very helpless, during the Integrity War. He really wanted Theon to succeed him to the throne. In this way, from the perspective of righteousness, there is nothing wrong with it. During the war, this kind of righteousness still has to be wanted. It's just that I didn't expect that these elders of the Iron Islands didn't know what medicine they were taking. To live or die is to oppose them.

Forced to be helpless, Su Yuan still chose the most direct way. In fact, he suspected that the elders had most likely been in contact with the Lannisters. After all, what Tywin is best at buying hearts and minds, disintegrating enemies from within. After this farce, the Council of Elders of the Iron Islands is bound to carry out a purge, but that will be for later. Now Su Yuan is more interested in Yu Lun's fleet.

You must know that in the original book, Euron got a lot of good things when he came back from this expedition.
