Chapter 656 Support From the Empire
"Oh?"
"What do you want to talk about?"
And after hearing the words of the pirate governor, if it was someone else, he might have already shouted for the guards to come over, or drove him out, but the women of the Iron Islands are naturally not unusual.
Clang——
Asha heard his words, not only did not drive him out, but put the dagger back into the sheath, pinned it to the tight leather pants around her waist, and then raised Erlang's legs, and said with great interest.
"I hope to get the support of the Empire."
And the dark-skinned pirate governor Sarado Sann said without hesitation.
"Imperial support?"
Asha's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Yes, I want to be the one and only governor of Mill, and kill Morse and Orton Addris."
Then the pirate governor, Salado Sann, made his ambitions straightforward and undisguised.
Salado Sann was of humble origin, his mother was a tavern maid, and his father abandoned her after impregnating his mother, and then forced to make a living, Salado's mother became a bed slave until when she died.
Salado remembers that when he was a child, he didn't even have a pair of decent shoes at home. He had to run around barefoot on the floor all day long, eating food that was difficult for others to swallow, and flies and mosquitoes flying all over the sky.
Therefore, Salado Sann's biggest dream in this life is to kill his irresponsible father and change the fate of himself and his descendants.
However, the former has been difficult to achieve, Salado's mother had died of illness when he went to sea many years ago, and he did not know who his father was, as for the latter.
This is the dream that this great pirate who roams the Narrow Sea and the Summer Sea has been pursuing.
He hoped to change his destiny, and he hoped that his descendants would not have to suffer the pain he had suffered.
At first, Salado thought that he only needed to get enough money, but after he slowly robbed a lot of money, he realized that the opportunity to change his destiny was not the amount of money, but the change of identity.
As a pirate, don't try to make others look up to you.
No matter how much money he robs and how many businessmen are frightened, it can't change this, even the city is not easy to get in, because there are people wanted for him everywhere.
Especially when he heard that his friend Davos Seaworth, who used to be a smuggler, had stopped washing his hands and became the Earl of the Rainforest.
Then he became Stannis's top confidant, and now, after the country's pacification, he has become the most oily customs chief.
Once Davos Seaworth's reputation as a smuggler has faded, and even the "Onion Knight" has become a good talk in Westeros.
Davos relied on his own reform and returned to the right path, and it is almost foreseeable that in a few years, the name of the 'Onion Knight' will no longer be mentioned.
Even when his son succeeds his family, the Seaworth family will become a true nobleman, not a 'smuggler's son'.
With such a vivid example in front of him, his friend turned into a nobleman, so Salado Sann gradually began to be moved, wanting to join a powerful and stable force, change himself, and change the fate of his descendants.
He is now at an age where he has to think about it.
Because of this, when the Council of Governors of Reese found Sarado Sann, he agreed immediately.
The Council of Governors of Reese hoped that he could return to Mire as a wandering Mir and become the spokesperson of Reese's interests, and the corresponding Reis side would support him to become the Governor of Mire. Salado heard this without any hesitation. agreed.
But after the arrival of Myr, Salado found that everything was not the same as what the Lysians had promised him.
First of all, it is not just him who has the final say, there is also the spokesperson of Volantis, Governor Morse, and the spokesperson of Maharaja Tyrosh, Orton Addris.
Moreover, he did not do whatever he wanted in Mill, and he did not look like a governor at all, and he was constrained by the Lys people everywhere.
The other two governors always stumbled on him in the open and secret, and Salado, who was a pirate, was proficient in combat and could kill with a knife, but this kind of politics and soft knives in shopping malls would not cut flesh at all.
And although he led a team of pirates across the sea, he couldn't easily kill those two people.
Because Governor Morse and Orton Adris also have the Tiger Robe Army and the Unsullied Guard of Tyrosh, and even if they were killed, Sarado Sann would not be able to defend Myr.
Because the people of Lys will not allow him to do it, which will provoke the hostility of Volantis and Tyrosi to Lys, and even cause a war.
The Lysians are incapable of facing these two formidable enemies at the same time, so if Sarado Sann voluntarily eliminates the other two governors of Myr, it is very likely that Volantis, Lys, and Tyrosh will join forces. The siege of the army.
Therefore, although on the surface, the scenery is infinite, and there are a lot of brothers guarding him when he goes out on weekdays, but in fact, Salado's life in Mill has been very miserable, until the messenger of the Iron Throne arrives, and there are 2,000 elites. Marines are stationed at the port.
It was inconvenient for Salado to discuss this with Asha during the day. The other two people beside him had many eyeliners, but at night, he changed his night clothes and sneaked into the manor of Governor Morse himself.
Governor Morse's own room was well-defended, and Salado could not sneak in. The imperial messenger lived on the periphery of the manor, and only used his own protection, so Salado sneaked in.
"I am willing to take Mire for His Majesty, and there is only one condition, that is, I can be named the governor of Mire."
Then Salado Sann continued to speak.
"Of course, if Your Majesty takes face into consideration and doesn't want to get Mir, then I am willing to be the spokesperson for the interests of the Iron Throne, convey benefits to the Empire, and swear allegiance to Your Majesty forever."
To put it simply, Salado now wants to take Mir to become the 'Prince of Mir'. He has a team of pirates who are accustomed to fighting, and may have the ability to do it, but he lacks a person to support him.
He didn't need the Imperial Navy to help him attack the other two Governor's guards, it was enough for them to stand there and not interfere.
And, if Viserys wanted Myr, Myr would be part of the Empire's realm.
And if Viserys takes into account his international reputation, then Salado will become the spokesperson of the Iron Throne in Myr as in his previous work, delivering tangible benefits to the Iron Throne.
Who doesn't like gold?
Mill was actually still affiliated with Viserys, only nominally independent.
On the other hand, Asha Greyjoy, who was sitting by the window with her legs crossed, fell into deep thought when she heard his words.
