"I heard that the second child of the Greyjoy family did it."

In a tavern in King's Harbor, a drunken iron man lowered his voice and said to his companion beside him, with a cautious face, but the voice was so loud that the entire tavern could hear it clearly.

"The leader of Naeuren ran away with his gang ten years ago, and it is said that he made a fortune on the eastern side of the continent, and then bought a murderer to kidnap King Greyjoy."

"Really?"

The companion was surprised: "What is he doing this?" ”

"What else can you do?"

The drunkard sneered: "Of course I want to be the boss of the sea monster family and kill King Balon, isn't the Greyjoy family the one who has the final say?" ”

When these words fell, before his companion could respond, a guy dressed as a merchant not far away sneered and retorted.

"How is this possible? Our King Balon still has two sons, which turn can be won by Na Euron? ”

"And who doesn't know that Nauron has betrayed us." Someone on the other side chimed in, "He wants to be the leader, we will never agree!" ”

"That's right, I don't agree!"

"A traitor is not qualified to be a leader!"

"Let him the a**! Don't try to come back and make trouble for us! ”

……

There was a chorus of voices in the tavern, filled with taunts and resentment, and it was clear that the guy named Euron was not welcome here.

King's Harbor is the largest port in the Iron Islands, and since the people here don't want to see Na Yulun, it basically means that all the Iron People in the Iron Islands look down on the existence of that person.

But the drunkard who spoke first had a different opinion.

"The two sons of King Balon are no longer considered Iron People."

He exclaimed, "They have become two little sheep in the green land!" Only bleating! How could the Greyjoy family possibly let them inherit? ”

"We still have Miss Asha!" Someone retorted.

"That's right, Miss Asha is a good leader!"

"But she's a woman." This was said by another person, and he had spoken sarcastically about drunkards before.

"What about women? Didn't you also beat your nose and face swollen? ”

"There has never been a woman in the Iron Islands who sits on the sea stone!"

"Never doesn't mean there won't always be ......"

……

A group of iron people shouted at each other, and unconsciously changed the subject, and began to talk about who was more suitable to inherit the Greyjoy family. Greyjoy was a dead man.

It's normal to think this way, just because King's Harbor is located on Pike Island, which is the territory of the Greyjoy family, so the locals know that the Greyjoy King disappeared in Pike City, the castle of the Greyjoy family.

If you are missing in the castle, where can you go missing?

There is no other possibility, naturally it fell into the sea.

Pike City was built on several cliffs, the towers were not closely distributed, and the water and the drawbridge were separated by the sea, and because of the audacity and braudness of the Iron People, who still threw axes at each other, the drawbridge was extremely unsafe.

In the past, I heard that there was a servant or a groom cook in Pike City who accidentally fell off the bridge and disappeared, and the lucky ones were able to fish out the corpse afterwards, but unfortunately the body could not even be found, and there was basically no chance of survival.

Now that the king of Baron has fallen off the bridge, how can he survive?

So, at this time, in Pike Island, or even in the entire Iron Islands, basically no one thinks that King Baron is still alive-

Except for a few insiders.

"No one seems to suspect anything."

In the corner of the tavern, two people silently listened to the discussion of the people around them, and they did not withdraw their attention until the topic was replaced by the news that someone in the island of Lonely Lamp had set sail in the direction of the deep sea in the far west in search of a new continent.

"How could these idiots find out?"

One of the two, a large man in an inconspicuous gray linen cloak, smiled when he heard this.

He has long gray and black mixed hair, and his voice is calm, but the hand holding the wine glass looks very strange, and the five fingers are connected to the crumpled thin flesh membrane, which seems to have frog-like webs.

"I hope I can hide it from some smart people." The thin middle-aged man sitting opposite the big man sighed, "Let me say, it's good that the king clearly rejects that Baratheon, what are we afraid of?" ”

"He is the son of the drowning god, how can I refuse?" The gray-haired man with long webs shook his head, his expression helpless, "If we really want to see him, we only have to send troops." ”

Just listening to these words, a smart person can guess that this person is actually the missing Baron. Greyjoy, it's a pity that the corner here is very inconspicuous, only a dim candle illuminates, and the two of them can't see clearly at all, and no one around them pays attention to them, let alone the person who is talking about them will be mixed in with them.

"Is Lan Li really the son of the Drowning God?"

The emaciated middle-aged man said suspiciously: "Ten years ago, although I didn't hear about it, I also knew that those flooded people wanted to support an archbishop, so they made a son of the drowning god." The drowning people were already chattering, so what happened on Old Wake Island may have been their doing. ”

"How can the mortal world do God's means?"

King Balon retorted, "Besides, there is another secret in it, you need not doubt that he is indeed the son of the Drowning God. It's just that I didn't expect that the son of our Iron Min's Drowned God would be reincarnated in the Baratheon family. ”

"What about Baratheon, if he is not on our side, then he is not the son of the Drowning God." The middle-aged man's words meant something.

"Don't say that again!"

After hearing this, Balon glared at the other party, and seeing that his face was not angry, he helplessly explained, "I'm pretty sure he is the son of the drowning god, as for why it's sure, don't ask, just trust me." Besides, even if you don't, you know how influential the Son of Drowning God is in our Iron Islands, and it's not that if you say no, you won't. It's been many years, and those drowned people have used the name of that person to win people's hearts. ”

The emaciated middle-aged man sighed.

"Yes, we don't dare to spread the news that the Son of the Drowning God is coming, those Drowned people are really damned."

"But sooner or later they'll know."

Baron sighed as well, picked up the glass and drank the wine from it, his expression very depressed.

He couldn't help but be depressed, and at this time the war in Westeros was raging, and Baratheon and Targaryen were fighting between the rivers, constantly opening up one battlefield after another, but never a winner was decided.

In this case, the clearest thing for the Iron Islands to do is to stay on the sidelines, not to end up without permission, and wait for the situation to be clear before doing that decisive thing, or if the war intensifies and engulfs the whole of Westeros, then simply take advantage of the chaos to fight for the interests that the Iron Islands want is the right way.

However, the son of the drowning god was a member of the Baratheon family, and judging from his past actions, it was clear that he was very supportive of the current king, Robert. Baratheon, at this time he came to the Iron Islands, and it was difficult for Baron to guarantee whether the Son of the Drowned God would be on the side of the Iron Islands or if he would be on Baratheon's side.

It stands to reason that the son of the drowning god should protect the Iron Min, but Baron didn't dare to risk believing that the one would really think about things from the Iron Min's standpoint—

Who can guess what the gods think?

For some reason, he was sure of the identity of Lan Li, the son of the drowned god, so after learning about the identity of that Baratheon, he suspected that there might be some other plans in it, such as the gods having a layout.

However, can the drowning god's plan be the same as the Iron Isles' plan?

He can't see it from afar, but it's best not to rush to stand in line at the moment.

So Baron had no choice but to make a fake disappearance and avoid the visitation of the man. In this way, even if the son of the drowned god arrived in the Iron Islands and received the full support of the drowned people, he would not want to let the Iron Islands send troops smoothly.

In other words, when the current leader of the Iron Islands "dies", the most important thing for the lords and nobles in charge of the army is to elect a new leader, rather than sending troops in a scattered situation.

Even the drowning people can't object to this.

A new commander could not be chosen quickly, even if the son of the drowned god was appointed, so the matter would have to drag on for a long time until the war situation became clear.

It's just that he will really be hidden?

Baron was skeptical.

That son of the drowning god has mysterious methods, as if he has the ability to predict the future, and he can really hide it from him if he plans to do so?
