Chapter 697

"His Majesty did not say that these trading city-states are to be conquered now."

"Because His Majesty has all his eyes on the north now, he has no time to pay attention to these trivial matters, so he has handed over the matter to me."

"He told me 'the enemy in the north is getting closer, I can already feel it, this time it will be more menacing than before, they are breathing cold air, icy flames are burning'."

At this moment, the newly-appointed Earl of Harrenhal was in a tavern room in Mill.

It's just that his tone was a little more stern, which made the big pirate Salado Sann, who was also sitting in the guest room, a little uneasy.

"Lord Ramsay Bolton, I don't think the White Walkers will appear in Essos."

He hadn't seen the White Walkers, but he had seen ghouls a few years ago.

It was in a public exhibition in Pantos. The Dothraki captured a few ghouls alive by using horse poles, then put them in cages, and finally escorted them by Euron's iron fleet. Pantos.

It was only then that the people of Pentos knew what kind of monsters their king was fighting, and they were victorious, successfully driving these monsters back to their hometowns.

Later, the ghouls in these exhibitions all died, perhaps because the magic in their bodies dissipated or some other reason, which greatly disappointed the city officials of Pentos.

Because the exhibition of ghouls caused a huge sensation in the world of the trading city-states, people from all over the world rushed to Pantos from all over the world, squeezing their heads and wanting to see what the legendary ghoul was. what.

At that time, Pantos was enough to make a lot of money just by collecting tickets.

This also led to the formation of a large number of explorers, slave capture teams, mercenary teams, etc. from the continent of Essos. They came to the north by boat to capture more ghouls for profit, but unfortunately they were successful. Very few.

They underestimated the ghouls locked in the cages, thinking that they were prey to be slaughtered, but when they reached the north, they paid a terrible price.

Most of their slave-hunting teams were buried in the north and became part of the army of ghouls, while a small number of teams that successfully captured ghouls died in the cabin on the way back by boat. , turned into a pool of rotten flesh or broken bones, and it seems that the ghouls have lost their magic after leaving Westeros.

Back then, the Iron Fleet was able to successfully capture the ghouls, because at that time the Night King had not retreated, and the God of Cold's divine power remained at its maximum.

However, Rams only smiled when he heard the words of the pirate governor, put down the jug in his hand, and said.

"Not necessarily, Lord Sarado Sann."

"The Iron Islands were also attacked by the White Walkers."

Seeing the slightly uncomfortable expression on the dark-skinned pirate governor's face, Rams restrained the smile on his face and said seriously.

"Has Master Sonn figured out any clues about the assassination?"

The assassination of Asha Greyjoy, the envoy of the empire, also spread, causing a lot of shock. Those with discernment can see that this may not be aimed at the empire but has other intentions, because Asha, the envoy of the empire, is actually not one. Not some important figure, but a marginal figure on the Iron Throne, even if she died, she would have no effect on the empire.

But what made the pirate governor a little confused was what happened in less than half a month, how did it reach the ears of the emperor so quickly?

Is it not.

Although suspicion arose in his heart, he honestly shook his head and said.

"I didn't find out, these killers want to frame Volantis or Reese."

Lys is rich in poison, and Volantis was mentioned in the confession. Of course, it is not ruled out that this is someone trying to make a clear statement, and Lord Tyrosi also did not escape suspicion.

The empire's fleet dispatched troops to Nas Island, and envoys to various free trade city-states along the way, but Asha Greyjoy did nothing, but stirred up a great earthquake in the world of trade city-states. If there is no pusher behind this, Sa Rado Sann couldn't believe it.

In front of this dark-faced young man, the dark-skinned pirate governor quietly looked at the other party as he spoke. In fact, Ramsay Bolton's reputation was not obvious, but he had heard his name a long time ago.

Every profession has a circle, and in the circle of pirates, intelligence is still very important. Ramsay Bolton heard this name as early as when he was in Pantos. The reason is that the other party is cruel and fell into the other party. None of the pirates in hand came out alive.

The same is true for the smugglers. He heard that a smuggler was interrogated by black-robed agents after Pantos was arrested. He tried his best to explain to the other party that the smuggler was not a pirate, and the crime would not kill him, but the smuggler was arrested. After taking it away, it never came back.

However, even though he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask the other party in front of him. God knows whether the chaos in the world of free trade city-states is due to the other party's handwriting.

"So. What should I do next?"

"Lord Rams."

"What are your instructions, Your Majesty?"

And Salado Sann didn't dare to think about it, but asked directly.

Now he has made contact with the governor of Lys, Trag O'Mollen, and Humphrey of House Hightower, and the two sides conspired to take Lys.

The other party also expressed their willingness to surrender to the Iron Throne, and the corresponding condition is that the Hightower family can get the forgiveness of His Majesty the Emperor, return to Westeros, and return to their hometown.

Of course, the old town will definitely not come back. Now the old town no longer belongs to the Haitar family, and no family has been canonized. Now it is managed by the mayor appointed by the emperor.

On the other hand, the conditions of the Omoron family are to dominate Rees.

He is no longer satisfied with sharing this rich city-state with the other eleven governors, but wants to become the Prince of Lys, like the pirate governor of Myr, Sarado Sann, and take full power.

"Chaos is a ladder that goes up."

And Ramsay Bolton, the commander-in-chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Empire, sneered twice when he heard Salado Sann's words.

"It was said by someone I don't really like."

"But I think it makes sense."

The rise of empires today is accompanied by turmoil and chaos throughout the world, in which people struggle to survive, and the upper echelons use it as a ladder for promotion.

Salado Thorn was such a man, so was the Governor of Lys, Trager O'Mollen, and Humphrey Hightower was inferior to them, reduced to a pawn.

"Continue to contact them and muddy the waters of the trading city-state."
