The empty belly growled uncontrollably, urging its master to find a way to forage for food, but the prison food that Euron brought to his niece was either maggot-crawling bread, or salted meat as hard as a plank, or fish that was beginning to stink...... And so on and so forth, she was only willing to eat food when she was dying of starvation. It was pitch black, the shackles hurt the calloused parts of her wrists and ankles, rats squeaked and ran past her, lice crawled into her clothes and bit her so painfully and itchyly that she couldn't even scratch her in chains.

This is one of the largest components of Pike City, the Blood Keep, located on a huge vertical reef farther away from the main fort than the main one. The halls are spacious and well decorated...... The upper floor is used for the guests of honor, and the hollow part of the lower floor is used as a dungeon. Ben almost became the queen of the Iron Islands, but she was imprisoned again in her own home, and her freedom was also restricted, and the treatment she received this time was even worse than when she was in the hands of the enemy, what a miracle!

More than the pain and discomfort of being captive, what tormented Asha Greyjoy was the discouragement and confusion of repeated frustrations...... She didn't understand how her uncle had learned that kind of sorcery.

In the hall that day, he successfully transferred the hostility of the Iron Folk leaders from himself to the Night's Watch, and the plan to re-infiltrate his compatriots seemed to be going well: even if Raveneye refused her request for a boat, she could resign herself to applying to stay with Uncle as her deputy - the latter situation may seem aggrieved, but it would be easier to find the next phone!

But everything came to an abrupt end the moment Euron lifted the blindfold and released the evil eye: the moment he met the black eyes on a red background, Asha's entire body seemed to be frozen and no longer controlled, and it was so chaotic that it almost suffocated. The opposite of her physical rigidity is that how many plans, calculations, and thoughts in her head are exposed as if they had been knocked open and taken out to the sun......

No, not only that. The eye contact with Euron's evil eye also created a conduit of thought between their consciousnesses. Between her breaths, Asha's eyes flashed a large number of intermittent images, among which there were thousands of strange things and things that she did not know and could not understand, obviously absurd but terrifyingly real, making her feel as if she had walked in the deepest part of hell - when she woke up, she obviously did not remember anything, but there was already an indescribable thing in her mind.

Now that she thinks about it, what she sees may be a "memory" that Euron doesn't know if it's a delusion or a real experience.

And the memory corresponding to his touch on the crow's eye: the other party has probably seen his assassination plan inside and out!

......

In the damp and gloomy dungeons, the only light comes from the jailer's torches. Occasionally patrolling here or bringing food was a strange man with no name, a hostile face who never uttered a word, and Asha came to her senses after all attempts to communicate, negotiate, and even seduce him: the strange creature was probably not an Iron Islander, but a member of the Serenity crew that Euron had brought back from outside—he didn't speak because he was dumb, and Seduction didn't work because he didn't understand the lingua franca or because he was more afraid of Crow's Eyes than he was lustful for women, or even more likely...... Not only does he have no tongue, he doesn't have eggs!

After thinking about this, Asha stopped talking uselessly, but began to pretend to be deaf and dumb in the same way, and to be a qualified prisoner.

Euron was arrested in front of everyone, and even he probably didn't dare to let himself disappear. As for blaming himself? He couldn't say, "I have an evil eye that can see through people's minds and know people's thoughts, so I know that my niece is here to assassinate him, right?"

Not to mention, he has an important identity that he doesn't want but can save his life at this moment: the wife of the leader of Emeek!

It is impossible for a lord to casually kill a vassal's wife without saying hello, and this series of factors has led to ...... The most likely fate that awaits him is actually to be tied back to his "husband's" house under house arrest, if this is the case......

In the cold darkness, filled with the smell of feces, mold, and death, Asha picked up a piece of dried beef that was as hard as a stone from the plate on the ground and nibbled on it quietly. The food is very poor, but at least it is food, and the next time you leave this cell, no matter where you go, you need enough physical strength and spirit to cope with various situations, so as not to have the regret of "encountering an opportunity, but missing it because of too poor physical condition"!

"Tap, Tap, ......"

Just as he was secretly making up his mind, a voice came from a distance outside the cell door. Asha wanted to ignore it, but after a few seconds, she stopped chewing hard in her mouth and pricked up her ears to listen.

She really had no way to deal with the jailer, but this time there was more than one person's footsteps, could it be that Crow's Eye had figured out a way to deal with herself and was going to transfer her place of imprisonment?

The sound grew closer, but the tempo began to pick up and become chaotic, and the cadence increased, and soon the footsteps were added to the sound of another person stomping on the ground, followed by heavy gasps and the sound of objects colliding, muffled, tables and chairs moving against the ground, and heavy objects falling to the ground...... It doesn't sound like Euron's men have come to take him, but at this moment on Pike Island, who else would attack the jailer to save him?

She still has friends in the archipelago!Asha perked up, threw down the jerky in her hand and struggled to sit up, her eyes fixed on the outside of the prison door.

Sure enough, the light of several torches came from far and near, accompanied by the shouting of Asha's name, and she did not hesitate to respond in a loud voice: "Here! I'm here!"

The three torches were so bright for her eyes accustomed to the darkness that Asha couldn't open them when the rescuers came outside her cell. The visitor was impatient to try the keys one by one, and directly used an axe to split the lock of the cell door and then cut the chains on her hands and feet, and dragged her up with weak legs sitting on the ground.

"Who sent you?" asked Asha, shielding her eyes.

"Reader. Two of the three people framed her on the left and the right, with the one on the left answering the question briefly.

Sure enough, it was Uncle, but Asha knew the structure of Pike City well and knew that there was no way to penetrate the cell from the outside: "How can you get in here?"

"King Euron has informed the captain of your arrest that he will come to Pike Island to discuss what to do with you. The tall man with her right arm replied, "We came in through the gate with the leader, and we stayed in the guest room above the Blood Keep tonight. Now, stop asking, we've got to get you out of here in a hurry!"

Why do you have to discuss with your uncle to create a chance for him to save himself? Asha feels that this doesn't make sense, but this is really not a good time to ask: "Okay, wait a minute, I still have two sailors who are locked up in other places......

"We have been ordered to get you out, and your sailors have nothing to do with us!" The third man with a torch and a weapon showed no mercy, interrupting him as he led back the way he came, without even looking back.

If he didn't save them, the two loyal subordinates who "escaped back" with him all the way were almost dead-Asha wanted to say that he wouldn't leave if he didn't save them, but in the end he resisted his wayward impulse: the three people who came to save him were uncles instead of his own crew, and they would really throw themselves down and retreat if they played tricks in front of these guys.

I still have big things to do, and I can't die in this hellish place because of stupidity. Hal and Hogan, may the drowning gods bless them!

Supported by two strong men, Asha staggered towards the door of the dungeon, the silent guard who never said a word was lying motionless on the ground at the door of the dungeon at the moment, the blood flowing from his head was dripping all over the ground, and he was already more in and less out of breath - the dumb guard was good, but the disadvantage was that when there was a robbery, he couldn't even shout when he was on duty. Trying to spit on the bastard, but her mouth was so dry that she couldn't even squeeze out a little saliva, Asha finally gave up her boring behavior and followed the robber up the stairs out of the dungeon.

It's weird enough that there's only one jailer in the dungeon, and it's even more weird that the way out of the heart of the reef to the upper platform is empty...... Such lax and abnormal defense is too weird, and the sense of foreboding pervades my heart more and more. But strangely, despite all the preparations for this to be a trap, they managed to leave the underground space of the Blood Keep and go outside.

It was midnight, starry and cold, and they walked silently along the outer wall of the reef to the east facing the mainland...... Here the leader ties up and lowers the rope, allowing Asha to descend the rope. The sea at the bottom of the cliff was already a small boat preparing to respond, and Asha, whose physical strength was exhausted by captivity, even had some difficulty holding the rope, and after being swayed by the wind for a long time, the guards on the small boat finally caught Asha without danger and pulled her into the boat.

When the trio of prison robbers also got into the boat, and the five of them rowed their oars in the direction away from Pike City under the cover of night, she finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in her heart: "What about the guards, have they all been solved by you, why haven't they all been touched?"

"Is it not good to go well? Do you have to be thrilling, to die one or two to save you to be called complete?"

The other man was not as grumpy as the former, and he politely replied, "We didn't run into a single person on the way in, maybe King Euron was too confident in the precipices of Pike City, and he relaxed his guard against the inside." ”

"What about my uncle?" Asha suddenly became alert, "Oulun may have wanted to get rid of my uncle a long time ago, just waiting for him to do something stupid, and then arrest and execute him for treason!"

"The captain has escaped from Pike City one step ahead and is now waiting for us aboard the Sea Song. ”

"Look, there it is. ”

The daughter of the sea monster turned her head, her excellent eyesight through the night, and by the faint starlight, she saw a black shadow of a ship floating and swaying on the surface of the sea a few hundred meters away.

Although there was no sunlight, Asha could make out the silhouette at a glance: it was indeed the Sea Song, the ship of his uncle Rodric Harlow, one of the strongest and fastest sailing ships in the entire Iron Islands. She pinched her thigh hard, it hurt, it wasn't a dream, she escaped!

Just when Asha breathed a sigh of relief that all the previous uneasiness was her own suspicion, the direction of Pike City, which had been thrown out of Rich, suddenly sounded a low and loud alarm bell. At this point, the robbery went unbelievably well, and after a few moments of escape, the guards of Pike City finally discovered the anomaly.
