Chapter 376 Asha

"Counting the time, Euron should have come to Pentos with our gifts."

In Pike City, a gloomy corridor connects the main castle and the blood castle.

Legend has it that thousands of years ago, all the sons of a river king were slaughtered here. They were chopped into pieces in their sleep and returned to their fathers, hence the name.

The outside of the castle is covered with white salt crystals and green lichen, while the inside of the castle is dense and opaque.

A thin, haggard-looking man sat in the gorgeous hall of the Blood Castle Hall, holding a glass of scarlet wine in front of grilled sausages and kippers, and said in a hoarse voice.

He is High King Balon Greyjoy, leader of the Iron Islands, and now he wears the Driftwood crown he was forced to take off as a result of the rebellion years ago.

In the halls of the Blood Castle, his third brother Victarion sat on his left, and Balon's right was his eldest daughter Asha Greyjoy.

Asha and Viserys are about the same age. She just completed her bar mitzvah last year. She is slender, with long legs, short black hair and a slightly upturned nose.

"Father, will Viserys agree to our terms?"

Asha split a piece of beef on the plate with a knife and fork, and then put it in her mouth. The girl's character was strong and her temper was not inferior to that of a man. She asked with a little worry while chewing the beef.

It was a family dinner for the Greyjoy family.

However, the second child, Euron Greyjoy, has been sent to Pantos by his eldest brother, and the fourth brother, Ellen, is presiding over a ceremony of the Drowned God on Great Wake Island. Nor is it in Pike City. Asha and Victarion were left.

"Hmph, he went to the Baratheon family if he didn't agree to us."

Baron sat at the head of the long table while eating with a bright knife in his hand, sneered and said hoarsely.

"Even if he agrees, we will contact the Baratheon family."

"Asha, you must understand that if the Iron Seeds want to conquer the green land and plunder more wealth, land, and women, they will continue to create chaos, and they must not be peaceful."

Due to the unique geographical influence, the Iron Islands are populated by an independent, ferocious and even brutal ethnic group.

They call themselves iron seeds. The land of the Iron Islands is barren, difficult to cultivate, rich in cheap iron ore, and the population is not large. They can only rely on plundering to survive. Therefore, the iron people have been plundering since ancient times.

However, because the number of Iron Seeds is small, it is destined to be more difficult to conquer the green land, so the Iron Seeds have always used the method of creating chaos to fight for living space.

And Asha naturally understood her father's words. Her father wanted to have both sides, using the advantages of the Iron Fleet to eat both sides to maintain a balance, so that the green land continued to be chaotic. This is also the method adopted by countless generations of Iron Seeds.

It's just that the girl is slightly dissatisfied with the plundering of wealth, land and women in her father's mouth.

However, Asha is not sympathetic to the suffering of those plundered girls. It is the tradition of the Iron Seeds to pay iron money according to the ancient way. What she wants to do is to plunder men and plunder more and better-looking men.

Why can only men plunder women, and she can't capture a few good-looking men back to the Iron Islands to be her 'salt husband'?

And Baron naturally didn't know what his daughter was thinking, but even if he knew what Asha was thinking, he probably wouldn't blame anything.

Who let his youngest son Theon become a hostage because of his defeat many years ago, and was adopted by Lord Eddard Stark as his adopted son, Asha is his only heir.

However, what Balon didn't mention to Asha was that he would contact Robert Baratheon next, and use the threat of the Targaryen family to try to get his son Theon back.

But at this moment, the girl looked at the father she admired in her heart, and the father's thin face was unsmiling, and the long gray hair was hanging down his back, and then he said.

"The turquoise land cannot be unified, and then the Iron Seeds will never be able to lift their heads."

"The son of the mad king will agree, because the Iron Throne is not his, why doesn't he agree?"

Then Baron forked another piece of sausage and put it in his mouth, chewing it up with his pale teeth, his gray beard quivering slightly, and emphasized it again.

"He will agree."

But at this time.

wow-

The sound of the metal chain ring outside the hall sounded, and a bachelor with gray hair and a gray robe hurriedly walked in from outside the hall of the Blood Castle.

He is the scholar Quillen of Pike City, and now he is holding a brief note in his hand, and then he said in a hurried voice.

"King Balon, something is wrong!"

He received a letter of help from Kuroshio Island not long ago. The person who sent the letter for help was the priest of the Drowned God of Kuroshio Island.

In their letter, they claimed that they had been attacked by the White Walkers, that most of the island had been occupied, and only the castle was still struggling.

Maester Quelun's voice fell, and the entire hall of the Blood Castle fell silent.

Sitting in the first seat, the gray-haired King Balon still used a fork to fork a piece of sausage and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly, as if he didn't hear what Master Quillon was saying.

On the other side, Balon's third brother, Victarion, was silent from beginning to end. He was tall and mighty, a strong warrior and a very capable fleet commander on the battlefield, and he was also very good off the battlefield. Calm and composure.

But at this time, Victarion was a little unacceptable when he heard the words of Master Quillen. He slammed the knife and fork in his hand on the table, and said in a low voice.

"Maester Quiren, you're not joking, are you?"

"Those White Walkers don't have warships, did they swim to Kuroshio Island?"

Victarion didn't want to believe it, while Asha on the other side turned to look at her father with a slightly flustered expression. Unlike her uncle, Asha believed that Kuroshio Island did not have the guts to make such a joke.

"Father, what should we do?"

Whether the White Walkers can row or swim, since they can quietly attack Kuroshio Island, they can magically appear in Kings Harbor in the next second.

Father had just made up his mind to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, anyway, the Iron Islands would not be attacked by the White Walkers, so let the usurper and that Viserys fight each other and lose both.

However, not long after my father said this, the White Walkers attacked the Iron Islands in a flash.

Asha is a little curious about what choice her father should make at this time.

"grown ups."

After hearing Victarion's questioning and the indifferent look of King Baron, Qualen Maester became a little anxious.

"Vic."

At this moment, King Balon finally spoke.

His face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Take a look at the fleet."
