Chapter 748 A Distant Story

"You've been gone for too long."

"A lot of people even thought you were dead."

The brig, the Stormrage, from the Midsummer Isles is docked at the port of King's Landing Blackwater Bay, loading and unloading cargo.

They came to King's Landing on this trip first to report in place of Asha Greyjoy, and second to escort a special 'thing'.

There is no room for failure. Asha must choose someone who is trustworthy and reliable.

'One-Eyed' Romy Pike was nervously instructing the soldiers to unload the big box from the cabin. Everyone was very careful, and then loaded it into a special large carriage.

On the other side, Davos Seaworth, the customs chief of the empire, was chatting with first mate Jack the Blonde.

What he said represented the thoughts of most people, because the thick fog of the sea of ​​​​smoke continued to spread, cutting off the communication between the East and the West, they could not receive news about Asha Greyjoy, everyone thought they had He died, but he didn't expect another ship to return after such a long lapse.

Davos has sent someone to inform the other side of the throne room in advance. Today is His Majesty's hearing day, and he will listen to the letters of the national nobles in the throne room of the Five Hundred People Hall.

Nobles who have any opinions and suggestions that need to be publicly released can come to King's Landing and submit an application to be a member of the court, and then put forward in public, ordinary people and businessmen.

The Imperial Council is usually held once a week, while the hearing day meeting is half a month, sometimes once a month.

It was not a coincidence that Romy and Jack came here today. Now His Majesty the Emperor is listening to advice in the Throne Hall. They need to submit an application for approval before they can meet His Majesty.

However, it didn't take long for a letter from the Red Fort to allow Romi and Jack from the Midsummer Islands to visit His Majesty.

And His Majesty's personal advisor, Tyrion Lannister, will personally greet them at the gate of the Red Keep. If there is anything you want to say in the throne room, you must tell Tyrion in advance, and he will decide what to disclose. Not to be public, and to explain the etiquette of their meeting with the emperor of the empire.

"Farewell, Lord Davos."

"Go."

And Davos bid farewell to the captain and first mate of the Stormrage from the Midsummer 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 business today.

The severed finger hanging around Davos' neck was indeed his talisman, allowing him to quickly find his place every time his mind faltered and his faith began to waver.

Davos continued to busy himself with his work, while on the other side, soldiers in old-fashioned Imperial Navy armor escorted the huge wooden box through the bustling streets of King's Landing, attracting many people from the capital to watch.

Because they had not seen such a murderous soldier for a long time, and from time to time there were some strange noises from the big box they were escorting, which aroused people's curiosity.

Many of these soldiers on the expedition to Nas Island originally set out from King's Landing, and they have not returned to their hometown for many years, but they are full of strangeness and joy.

Unfamiliar is that earth-shaking changes have taken place, and the joy is that everything in front of you is thriving.

However, when they turned around, a huge shadow shrouded their heads, and the soldiers who were escorting the wooden box, including Romi the One-Eyed and Jack, were also taken aback, and even pulled out their swords.

But after they saw it clearly, they realized that it was a giant golden statue standing high on the municipal square in the center of King's Landing.

"What a big dragon!"

This is a ferocious dragon. His sharp claws are pressed on the stone platform, and his half-spread wings can almost touch the building called 'Imperial Bank' in the distance.

It raised its huge dragon head, full of hideous eyes, and seemed to be screaming up to the sky, and sitting on the back of this giant dragon was a handsome young human who was drawing his sword and pointing straight to the northern sky.

"This is His Majesty the Great Emperor and his companion, Balerion."

When he saw this team, he was taken aback and even drew his sword. A wealthy businessman who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a tall beard and a tall beard, said arrogantly.

"Turtle!"

Next to him was a beautiful woman with heavy makeup and a smile, holding his arm.

Then the two Shi Shiran passed by the pirate captain and went to the Imperial Bank opposite the square to withdraw money to buy some luxury goods for the beauties around them.

The construction there is magnificent and gorgeous, and people come and go in an endless stream. Whether poor or rich, the boatmen loading and unloading goods at the port walk into it side by side with wealthy businessmen.

"Fuck me!"

"I'm going to kill him!"

It wasn't until the two people walked away that the pirate captain 'One-Eyed' Romi reacted. He felt that his nose was going to be crooked, and he was actually scolded by someone pointing his nose.

However, Jack hurriedly grabbed his intrepid partner.

He hadn't come to King's Landing for many years. The last time he came was when he was a child and followed his father. He could clearly feel that the city was not the same as it was twenty years ago.

Not only is the building a new look, there is no stench in the air, but the spirit of people has changed.

He heard the tone that he was proud of this city from the mouth dressed as the rich businessman just now.

That's why he "reminds" them that this is the statue of the Emperor of the Empire in front of them.

"They are proud and proud of this country, this city?"

"Twenty years. Can it change so much?"

Jack murmured slightly, then he glanced at the young figure on the giant statue, and then turned his eyes to the Red Fort in the distance.

He was looking forward more and more to the man who was said to have built this empire with one hand, and even made Lord Asha Greyjoy feel awe in his voice every time he mentioned it.

"Walk!"

Four or five years ago, Asha Greyjoy led 2,000 imperial soldiers and fleets to spend more than half a year on an expedition to the remote Nas Island, sending troops to protect the vassal states that were subject to the empire.

However, Asha finally faced a choice situation after defeating some pirates and slave teams on Nas Island. Whether to choose to retreat to the Midsummer Islands when it was easy, or to pursue the victory and continue to catch the Snake Lizard Islands by surprise.

In the end, the daughter of the sea monster did not shrink back and fear in the sea, and chose the path of taking risks.

She led a fleet to raid the Basilisk Islands.

But this war was lost. The pirates of the Snake Lizard Islands had already received information and set up an ambush in advance. The Imperial fleet suffered heavy losses and then fled back to the Midsummer Islands.

The islanders of Nas Island were even attacked and slaughtered by pirates in revenge.

On the other hand, the pirates fought off the Imperial fleet but did not stop, greedy for the fleet's ships, equipment and wealth and the fame they could gain by defeating them.

So they united with the Safflower Valley tribe not far from the Imperial fleet camp.

The old chief of the Safflower Valley tribe has died, and his son has become the new chief. However, the new chief is perfidious and greedy for the beauty of Asha Greyjoy, so he and the pirates agreed to attack the lizard hair, He only needs to get some of the spoils, including Asha herself.

The Throne Room was crowded, whispering, shocked by what was happening at the end of the world.

"what's next?"

However, when they heard this, people couldn't even hold their breath.
