Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh distant story
"You have been gone for too long."
"Many people even thought you were dead."
The two-masted warship Stormrage from the Summer Islands is docked at the port of Blackwater Bay in King's Landing and is loading and unloading cargo.
They came to King's Landing firstly to report on Asha Greyjoy's duties, and secondly to escort a special 'thing'.
There is no room for error in this matter, and Asha must choose someone trustworthy and reliable to do it.
‘One-eyed’ Romy Pike was nervously directing the soldiers to unload the large box from the cabin. Everyone was very careful and then loaded it into a specially made large carriage.
On the other side, Davos Seaworth, the empire's customs chief, was chatting with first mate 'Blonde' Jack.
What he said represented the thoughts of most people. Because the thick fog in the sea of smoke continued to spread, cutting off communication between the East and the West, they could not receive news about Asha Greyjoy. Everyone thought they had already
He died, but he didn't expect that another ship would come back after such a long time.
Davos has sent someone to inform the other side of the throne room in advance that today is His Majesty the Emperor's hearing day, and he will listen to the petitions of the nobles from all over the country in the throne room of the 500-person hall.
Nobles who have any opinions or suggestions that need to be made public can come to King's Landing and submit an application to be a member of the court, and then submit them in public. Ordinary people and businessmen can also do so.
The Royal Council is usually held once a week, while the Royal Council is held every half a month, sometimes once a month.
It is not a coincidence that Romy and Jack came here today. His Majesty the Emperor is now listening to suggestions in the throne room. They need to submit an application and get approval before they can meet His Majesty.
However, not long after, a reply came from the Red Keep, allowing Romy and Jack from the Summer Islands to go and see His Majesty.
His Majesty the Emperor's personal advisor, Tyrion Lannister, will personally greet them at the gate of the Red Keep. If you want to say anything in the throne room, you must tell Tyrion in advance, and he will decide what can be made public.
It cannot be made public, and they must explain the etiquette of meeting the emperor.
"Farewell, Lord Davos."
"Go ahead."
And Davos said goodbye to the captain and first mate of the Stormrage from the Summer Islands. Of course, he was also curious and wanted to know what happened at the end of the world thousands of miles away.
However, it is a pity that he still has official duties today.
The severed finger hanging around Davos' neck is indeed his amulet, allowing him to quickly find his place every time his mind wanders and his beliefs begin to waver.
Davos continued to be busy with his work, while on the other side, soldiers wearing old-style Imperial Navy armor escorted the huge wooden box through the bustling streets of King's Landing, attracting many people in the capital to watch.
Because they hadn't seen such murderous soldiers for a long time, and there were some weird noises coming from the big box they were escorting, which aroused people's curiosity.
Many of the soldiers who went on the expedition to Nass Island originally set out from King's Landing. They had not returned to their hometowns for many years, but everything they saw was strange and joyful.
What is strange is that earth-shaking changes have taken place, but what is joyful is that everything in front of you is thriving.
However, as soon as they turned a corner, a huge shadow shrouded their heads. The soldiers escorting the wooden box, including 'One-Eyed' Romy and Jack, were also startled and even couldn't help but draw their swords.
But when they saw it clearly, they realized that it was a giant golden statue standing high in the Municipal Square in the center of King's Landing.
"What a huge dragon!"
This is a ferocious giant dragon. His sharp claws are pressed against the stone platform, and his half-expanded wings can almost touch the building called the 'Imperial Bank' in the distance.
It raised its huge dragon head, with a ferocious look in its eyes, and seemed to be roaring up to the sky. On the back of this giant dragon sat a handsome young human, who was drawing his sword and pointing straight at the northern sky.
"This is His Majesty the Great Emperor and his companion Balerion who fights alongside him."
When he saw this team, he was startled and even drew his sword. A businessman passing by, dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a straight beard and a well-built figure, said with an arrogant look.
"Rubber!"
Beside him was a beautiful woman with heavy makeup and a charming smile, holding his arm.
Then the two of them passed by the pirate captain calmly and went to the Imperial Bank across the square to withdraw money to buy some luxury goods for the beauties around them.
The buildings there are grand and gorgeous, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going, whether poor or rich, shipmen loading and unloading cargo at the port and wealthy businessmen with huge wealth walk side by side.
"Holy shit!"
"I'm going to kill him!"
It wasn't until the two people were far away that the pirate captain "One-Eyed" Romy realized that he felt his nose was almost crooked with anger. He was actually being pointed at and scolded.
However, Jack quickly grabbed hold of his foolhardy partner.
He has not been to King's Landing for many years. The last time he came was when he was a child, following his father. He could clearly feel that this city was different from what it was twenty years ago.
Not only has the building taken on a new look, and the air no longer has the stench of the past, but people's spirit has also changed.
He heard from the man dressed as a wealthy businessman just now that he was proud of this city.
This is why he 'reminded' them that this was the statue of the Imperial Emperor in front of them.
"Are they proud and proud of this country, this city?"
"Twenty years...can so much change?"
Jack murmured slightly, then he glanced at the young figure on the giant statue, and then cast his gaze towards the Red Castle in the distance.
He was increasingly looking forward to meeting the man who was said to have single-handedly created this empire, and even made Lady Asha Greyjoy unable to help but feel awe in her voice every time she mentioned it.
"Walk!"
...
Four or five years ago, Asha Greyjoy led two thousand imperial soldiers and a fleet to spend more than half a year on an expedition to the distant Nass Island, sending troops to protect the vassal states that had surrendered to the empire.
However, after Asha defeated some pirates and a slave-catching team on Nass Island, she finally faced a decision-making situation. Should she choose to give up and retreat to the Summer Islands or pursue the victory and continue to catch the Basilisk Islands by surprise?
In the end, the sea monster's daughter did not shrink back and feared on the sea, and chose a desperate and dangerous path.
She led a fleet to surprise the Basilisk Islands.
However, this war failed. The pirates of the Basilisk Islands had already received the information and set up an ambush in advance. The Imperial fleet suffered heavy losses and fled back to the Midsummer Islands.
The islanders of Nass Island even encountered retaliatory attacks and massacres by pirates.
However, on the other side, the pirates repelled the Imperial fleet but did not give up. They were greedy for the fleet's ships, equipment, wealth and the fame they could gain by defeating them.
Therefore, they united with the Red Flower Valley tribe not far from the imperial fleet camp.
The old chief of the Red Flower Valley tribe died, and his son became the new chief. However, the new chief was treacherous and coveted the beauty of Asha Greyjoy, so he made an agreement with the pirates to attack the Lizard Head together.
He only needs to get part of the loot, including Asha herself.
The throne room was crowded with people, whispering, and they were shocked by the story that happened at the end of the world.
"what's next?"
However, when people heard this, they couldn't help but hold their breath.
