413 The Gift of Euron

Iron Islands, Pike City.

An autumn rain has been pouring down for a few days, and the temperature is getting colder and colder as it falls.

But the air inside the city was suffocating, and the fireplace in the hall was blazing with black smoke.

Coupled with the heat of the wedding guests, mixed with the smell of wine, barbecue, and the sour smell of sweat, permeated the not very spacious banquet hall, Asha Greyjoy felt more and more irritated.

She played with the sharp knife in her hand and looked at the couple on the high platform with an inexplicable gaze.

Today is the wedding day of her uncle, Euron "Crow-Eye" Greyjoy, and Daismera Redwin, daughter of the Earl of Qingting Island.

If it was before, how could the arrogant Redwyn family agree to marry the Greyjoy family, but since the Qingting Island fleet suffered a heavy defeat in the Dorne Sea, Earl Pexter Redwin also had to marry his precious daughter to the sea monster that he once despised the most.

The wedding was officiated by the priest of the Seven Gods, brought by Earl Pexter, as the priests of the Drowned God, led by "wet-haired" Ellen Greyjoy, collectively boycotted the wedding.

Perhaps more accurately, they are resisting the "crow-eyed" Euron.

"The ungodly Euron will bring wrath from the drowning gods."

Asha heard her uncle Ilyen start chattering again.

"Uncle, I was in the Hall of the Grey Sea King, but you personally put the Driftwood Crown on Euron's head."

"I had no choice then." Eren sighed, "He has won the most support from the Iron People, and I must abide by the rules of the Elector Council and crown him." But since I can put the crown on his head, I can take it off again. ”

"How do you pick it?" Asha was immediately interested.

You know, if Euron is stripped of his crown, Victarion dies in Slave Bay, and Iren can't be king as a priest, then the first heir to the crown of driftwood is her, Baron's eldest daughter.

Unless his brother Theon is still alive.

But even so, Theon is a loser, and Iron Man will not embrace a loser as king.

Asha has the confidence to make that naΓ―ve and stupid brother bow to herself.

"The Iron Folk were intimidated by Euron's horn and thought he could bring back a dragon......

"He did bring back a dragon." Asha interjected, "A golden dragon. ”

"But he can't control the dragon." Eren said coldly.

Asha was stunned and said, "You can't control it? So how did he snatch the dragon? And that horn ......"

"Have you ever seen him on the back of a dragon?"

"Nope." Asha shook her head, thoughtful, "I haven't even seen that dragon, but I've heard the roar of a giant beast from the caves of Pike Island. Ulun sent heavy troops to handle it, and no one was allowed to come closer. ”

"Yes, it's because Euron can't control the dragon. So he could only lock the dragon in a stone cave with an iron chain. He tricked the Driftwood Crown into claiming a lie, and I'm going to expose that lie and tell all Iron People that Euron is a liar. ”

"Euron will kill you." Asha warns her uncle.

"Then he'd better be more hidden." Eren looked indifferent, "At least like you did with Victalion, you can't leave anyone with a handle." Because the Iron People will not accept a kinslayer as king. ”

Asha sighed secretly, knowing that she couldn't persuade her uncle.

She turned her head to look at the high platform, where the king and his new wife made seven vows in front of the priests of the seven gods, received seven blessings, exchanged seven promises, and then sang the hymn.

Euron took off his cloak, shook it off, and draped it over his wife.

The Redwyne girl smiled shyly and happily and looked at her husband tenderly.

Seeing this scene, Asha sneered in her heart. Poor silly girl, she has no idea who she is marrying.

Yes, Yolun is handsome on the outside, and he is the king of the Iron Islands, intelligent and courageous, but underneath these good qualities lies a vicious, crazy, and corrupt soul.

Souls rejected by the gods.

"Under the watchful eye of the Seven Gods, I officially declare." The priest said in a loud voice, "Euren of House Greyjoy and Daismera of House Redwyn are married, and from now on they will be one body, one mind, and one soul. ”

The hall immediately burst into cheers.

The leaders of the Iron People couldn't hold back for a long time, and at this time they let out a strange scream, slamming the table to the sky.

Such a rude gesture made the Redwyn family frown.

There was also a flash of annoyance and disdain in Earl Paxter's eyes, but he quickly hid it.

Now that he has made up his mind to form an alliance with the Iron Islands, he must put up with these pirates.

"Your Majesty," Count Paxter forced himself to squeeze out a smile, "it's time for the feast to begin, everyone can't wait." ”

Euron raised his glass and announced in a loud voice:

"The friendship between the Jingtie Islands and Qingting Island!"

"To friendship!" Thousands of cups rang at the same time, announcing the official start of the banquet.

As soon as the Earl of Paxter sat down, he saw Euron approaching him, and said:

"Father-in-law, I have another gift for you."

"Oh, what kind of gift?"

"Please follow me." Euron stood up and said.

"Honey, you haven't given me a gift yet." Desmera pleads to her husband.

Euron kissed his wife with blue lips and soothed:

"Wait a minute, it's your turn to present next."

"Really? That's great! Desmera excited.

Seeing this scene, Yiren couldn't help but sneer in a low voice:

"Poor people, they don't know that Euron's gift must have poison in it."

Asha listened to these words in her ears, and her heart sank slightly.

She had heard her uncles say this many times, and both Viktarion and Iren had warned her not to accept Euron's gifts.

But Earl Paxter had apparently not heard this, and did not understand what Euron's gift meant.

The two walked out of the banquet hall and braved the drizzle all the way up the mountain.

Earl Paxter tried to inquire several times, but he did not speak.

A moment later, Euron led him into a cave.

The strange rocks in the cave are craggy, the air is hot and dry, and it is filled with a smell of sulfur, which is extremely pungent.

Earl Pixter seemed to realize something, and his heart was uncertain, but his steps were much lighter.

As the two of them went deeper into the cave, the light was blocked, and there was a deep darkness in front of them, as if some living creature was lurking in it, ready to move, eyeing the tiger.

Snort –

Euron lit the torch.

It was only then that Earl Paxter saw that he was standing on the edge of a great pit.

And in the pit, a pair of blood-red eyes shone brightly.

Dragon!

Although he hadn't seen the full picture yet, Earl Pixter had already guessed its identity.

"This is the dragon you snatched from the Mad King's daughter?"

"Yes." Euron nodded in acknowledgement, "It's called Viserion." What a nasty name. ”

"It's really ugly." Earl Parchter replied absentmindedly.

By this time, his eyes had adjusted to the darkness, and he finally saw the dragon in the pit.

It was covered in golden scales, its head the size of three horses' heads, and its neck stretched backwards like a giant python. It spreads its wings and stirs up a scorching wind, blowing up a cloud of dust and ashes.

"Why don't you give him a new name?" Euron suggested.

"Me?" Earl Pixter was stunned.

"Yes. After all, that's my gift to you. ”
