Chapter 746: The Seventh Year of the New Calendar

Aegon's calendar is two hundred and ninety-nine years, and the new calendar is seven years.

Time flies, like a white horse passing by, and four years of time flashed by in the blink of an eye. King's Landing, a great city that has stood on this land for nearly three centuries, is still prosperous, even more lively than four years ago. Many more changes.

A brig with the flag of the three-headed fire dragon and the golden sea monster flag of the Greyjoy family pushed aside the water and slowly sailed towards the port of Blackwater Bay.

Because of the repeated improvement of King's Landing's political and economic status, the power center of the empire was established here, with a high degree of centralization.

Therefore, the problem of insufficient operation capacity of the largest port in King's Landing has also been exposed. In recent years, it has undergone several large-scale expansions, and finally grew into the most important trade and Military ports, not even one.

The port of Heishuiwan is prosperous and prosperous. There are many ships going to and from the port, with various flags from all over the world, and long queues begin to line up far apart, waiting for the inspection and investigation of entry.

On the sea surface of Blackwater Bay, there are still ships of the Capital Guards patrolling, maintaining the order of ships entering the port.

This also caused the smuggling and criminal gangs that were rampant in King's Landing to disappear, until most of them disappeared in the end, and the rest were just some idle or desperate little thieves.

Because it is said that the customs chief of the empire is a very powerful person. He used to be a smuggler. Therefore, he is very familiar with the loopholes in King's Landing and the smugglers' routines.

The Chief of Customs even suffered retaliation from this group of underworld forces and almost lost his life, but it was this behavior that made the top of the empire furious and caused the bloody conflict that followed.

The Imperial Imperial Council issued a death order to the commander-in-chief of the capital defense team, and launched a thunderous sweeping operation one day two years ago. Just like sweeping the sparrows back then, all the major evil forces in King's Landing were swept away in one breath, and the people clapped their hands. Applaud, since then, the security of King's Landing has risen directly by a grade.

…

"At one time, I thought we were destined to die in a foreign land."

"I didn't think that we would really have a day to go home."

There were two men standing side by side on the brig that was hoisted with the Imperial emblem and the Greyjoy flag.

Standing on the bow of the boat and stepping on wooden barrels, they were looking at the bustling metropolis in the distance in the afternoon sun, and the imperial palace towering high on the high hills of Aegon.

Because this is where they will go next, to meet the Emperor in the Throne Room.

The two people in the bow looked at each other and could see the tension and excitement in their eyes, because this was the most important and highlight moment in their lives.

"King's Landing, here we come..."

Then one of the men with blond hair and a scar on his cheek took a deep breath.

And beside him stood a dark-haired companion with a dark eye patch, who looked like a pirate.

"what?"

"I remember being far away from King's Landing, and I can smell that disgusting smell."

The blond-haired man with a scar on his cheek took a deep breath and asked with a little doubt.

"Jack, have you been to King's Landing before?"

On the other side, the companion who was blind in one eye and wearing a blindfold heard his words, turned his head and asked.

"Well, I followed my father when I was young."

"Come here to do business."

The blond man who was called Jack by his companions didn't hide it either, nodded and said.

"very nice."

"I've never been to King's Landing."

And the companion who wore a blindfold and looked a little ruthless shook his head, and his voice was a little envious.

He was an illegitimate child of the Iron Islands, and illegitimate children had low social status, no matter where they were.

Although he has an aristocratic father, but this father is the same as not. He has lived an orphan-like life and depended on his mother since he was a child. Until his mother died of illness, he was completely alone.

And his father finally did a good thing that can be called a father, that is, he gave him a boat before the fall of the Iron Islands, and let his own son escape by himself.

The two men on board now talking are one of many pirates who were attacked by the Imperial fleet years ago on Nass Island harbor.

That naval battle was extremely tragic, and it was a one-sided massacre. However, most of the pirates were buried in the sea or fled to the island to catch the butterfly fever, but some of them were captured alive and became prisoners.

One-eyed Romy Pike and Jack, who were one of the team captains of the Brotherhood of Bones, were among them, but the two of them looked very single in the face of the Empire's fleet, so they simply surrendered without any resistance.

And their special identities all come from Westeros, plus "One-Eyed" Romy Pike is the illegitimate son of the Iron Islands, and the fellows are tearful when they see the fellows.

So the two got down on one knee and swore allegiance, successfully won the trust of Asha Greyjoy, washed away their identity as pirates, and became a member of the Imperial fleet.

And the two brothers also played a crucial role in several subsequent battles between the Imperial fleet and the pirates of the Lizard Islands.

And now 'One-Eyed' Romy Pike and 'Blonde' Jack have been sent to King's Landing by Asha Greyjoy to meet the Emperor of the Empire.

They carry the special mission that Asha gave them, and more importantly, they are personally escorting something more mysterious.

Therefore, it was possible to realize the dream of the year and return to his hometown.

And this dusty brig, with scars all over its body, seems to have gone through many trials and tribulations, and quickly attracted the attention of the patrolling capital garrison.

And the brig also flies the Imperial flag and the Golden Kraken flag of House Greyjoy.

Therefore, soon this news was reported to Davos Seaworth, the Onion Knight, the Chief Customs Officer of the Empire, by the patrolling soldiers, through the captain, the harbour chief of Blackwater Bay Port.

"what?"

The Onion Knight frowned slightly when he heard the news.

Because according to the management regulations of the King's Landing port, the warships flying the flag of the empire and the nobility can enter the port directly through the special channel without queuing.

All merchant ships need to make room for imperial warships.

This port management regulation has been implemented for several years, and it is impossible that there are still ships going and going without knowing this.

Therefore, Davos instinctively felt that there was something wrong, and then stood up and said.

"Take me to see."
