Game of Thrones: Lord of the Deep

Gilbert Farwyn, as the first applicant, walked up the hill with his three sons and assistants.

He promised that if he became king, he would lead the Ironborn to build ten thousand longships like Nymeria and go to the land of hope on the other side of the Sunset Sea.

The gifts he brought were seal skin, walrus tusks, whalebone arm rings and bronze warhorns.

After distributing the gifts to everyone, the response was mediocre, and Gilbert Farwyn was not disappointed at all. He just wanted to gain fame and never thought that he could really become the king of the Iron Islands.

Then "Anvil Breaker" Aili sat in a carved driftwood sedan chair and was carried up the hill by his three grandsons.

His gifts were countless silver, copper and iron coins, as well as arm rings, collars, daggers and throwing axes.

"Puchi, hahahaha, um, sorry, I couldn't help it, but if Lord Aili can stand up, then I will be loyal to Lord Aili."

Asha Greyjoy's words made everyone laugh.

Eri Amek, also known as Eri the Just and Eri the Anvil Breaker, is a fearless raider among the Ironborn and the elderly lord of the Emek family.

Eri weighs about twenty stones and is now eighty-nine years old. His hair is snow-white and his thick beard is long and snow-white. He sits on a chair and is carried away. His weapon of choice is a huge and terrifying hammer.

But now that Eri is nearly ninety years old, let alone swinging a huge and terrifying hammer, he may not be able to lift it even if he is given a small wooden hammer.

Eri looked at the ridicule of the crowd and wanted to struggle to sit up from the chair in anger, but he was already eighty-nine years old and had no tendency to stand up no matter how hard he tried.

"Lord Eri, I advise you not to try. Eighty-nine years old is considered a long life. Maybe you can live to a hundred years old."

Asha's words once again caused a lot of ridicule from the crowd, and finally Eri sat down with a red face.

Dunstan Drum went up the mountain next, with his assistants Adric the Serious and his two sons Donald and Dennis.

Drum's incitement was persuasive, but his eloquent speech gradually lost its appeal to everyone.

And the gift Drum brought was too stingy, even inferior to Gilbert Farwyn's gift, bronze could never buy a crown.

Victarion Greyjoy then walked up the steps with his assistants Newt the Barber, Raff the Cripple and Raff the Red.

He was very popular, and the waterfall of silver, gold and gems he brought won Victarion more supporters.

This scene made Asha itchy. Originally, all this gold and silver belonged to her. She would use this gold and silver to win the support of the captains, but it was all taken by this uncle.

At that time, she was occupying Deepwood Motte with a thousand people. When she got the news and returned with four hundred people, Balon Greyjoy's third brother Victarion had already emptied the warehouse of Peck Castle, leaving nothing for Asha.

Knowing that she could not wait any longer, Asha Greyjoy came to the crowd, and his assistants were "Girl" Cole, Tristen Portley and Horus Harlow.

Asha Greyjoy took out a pebble from her arms and opened the box behind her, which was full of pebbles.

Euron Greyjoy smiled evilly when he saw this, and this smile happened to fall into Asha Greyjoy's eyes, making her a little angry.

If Jack was present, he would find that Euron was not like the clown who jumped repeatedly in the American TV series.

At this moment, Euron exuded an elegant madness, and his one eye flashed with a confident and crazy light, which put Asha Greyjoy under great pressure.

"My dear niece, as an uncle, I have to ask, because this is related to the face of our Greyjoy family. Are you really going to use pebbles as gifts to entertain the captains?"

"If you don't have money, I can lend you some, but isn't it too perfunctory to use pebbles? This thing is everywhere in the Iron Islands."

Euron Greyjoy's words made everyone nod, and it was obvious that they were very dissatisfied with Asha Greyjoy's gift.

However, Asha Greyjoy did not panic, but said calmly:

"Everyone, this is a symbol of the "treasure" exchanged for life in the battle between the Iron Race and the North - the pebbles of the Rocky Coast."

Asha asked her assistant to open several other boxes.

"Here are the pine cones of Deepwood Motte and the turnips of Winterfell. Deepwood Motte is in my hands, and the North is willing to exchange Sea Dragon Horn for the Stone Shore.

As long as I become the King of the Iron Islands, I promise to give you rich land. You don't have to rely on the hard life of digging iron ore. You will have green land to cultivate, and you can live by the sea and fish anytime and anywhere.

Whether you choose to go back to the ancient road to pay iron money, or choose to live a stable life to farm and do business, you will get my blessing. Land, peace and victory are my promises to you!"

Asha's words attracted the support of some people, and some people chose to support him because of Asha Greyjoy's identity.

At this time, Victarion's supporters immediately mocked. A woman who couldn't even take out a box of gold and silver, who knew whether the pebbles, pine cones and turnips were real?

This immediately ignited the king selection meeting, and the supporters of both sides began to push and insult each other, as if the fans of the two idols quarreled over whose idol was more handsome.

The two sides pushed and shoved, and cursed at each other. Just when they were about to fight, a dull horn sounded.

Everyone suddenly became quiet. The heavy horn sound had an indescribable deterrent power, rushing straight into the depths of everyone's soul.

When everyone looked over, they found that it was Clegon, the assistant of Euron Greyjoy, who blew the horn, but everyone did not notice that there was something wrong with Clegon after blowing the horn.

Their attention was all on Euron Greyjoy, who stood in the center at some point.

"You disappoint me. I can't believe what you have experienced over the years that has made you so weak!

Look at these gifts, look at what they promised you, a coast? Peace? Or a victory as small as a pebble?"

Euron Greyjoy looked at the previous competitors with disdain, and then said loudly:

"I have traveled to every place in the world, including the mysterious and dangerous Valyrian ruins, where I got a dragon egg, a set of Valyrian full armor, and this - the dragon horn."

"Any dragon that hears the horn will obey me, and I happen to know where the only four dragons in the world are.

I will blow the horn, control the four dragons, and give you the whole Westeros. The iron race will become the noblest race in Westeros, and the continent will crawl at our feet!"

Then Euron Greyjoy asked his assistant to open the other boxes. A large amount of gold and gems blinded everyone's eyes, and even silver could not be seen in them.

The Old Way is the term the ironborn use to refer to their tradition of raiding, taking loot from war instead of buying it, which they call "paying iron money."
