Chapter 166 Sea Stone Seat
The soldiers outside the long hall cower in the distance.

Standing in the middle was Euron the Crow's Eye who looked like their master.

He looks unchanged, Victarion thought.He looked exactly the same as he did the day he left after laughing at me.

His hair was still as black as the midnight ocean, without a single white strand, and his face was still fair and smooth, with a neat black beard.

A sheet of black leather covered Euron's left eye.

But his right eye was as blue as a midsummer sky and smiled.

Is that mockery, or malice?
The wife who was beaten to death with her own hands wailed, and the Crow's Eye's ridicule was so sharp during the confrontation, the images and sounds were mixed together, and Victarion could no longer tell them apart.

Aeron "Damphair" stared blankly at Euron.

He wore a soapy scale armor that Aeron had never seen before—black as smoke and as light as a thin silk gown.

The edges of the scales are reddish gold, shining with light from time to time.

Patterns adorn the metal—spirits, hieroglyphs, and mystical symbols etched into the steel.

Valyrian steel, Damphair knew, his armor was Valyrian steel.

In all the Seven Kingdoms, no one has such a piece of Valyrian armor.Such objects only appeared more than 400 years ago, before the destruction of Valyria.

But even then the thing was worth a kingdom.

The sound of the door opening...

The scream of the rusted chains...

Do not……

Aeron's hands trembled and he closed his eyes in prayer.

The captains and leaders in the long hall looked at the men Euron had brought.

Pitch-dark Negroes, Qohors, Dothrakis, Westeroses, and little hairy fellows like Sothyros apes.

The mutes and mongrels of all stripes said nothing.

As ironborn captains know, the entire crew of the Serenity has had their tongues pulled out.

Serenity was indeed quiet.

"Uncle Euron, you are indeed late. Father has returned to the Palace of Flowing Water last night."

You have been away for such a long time, and you have not been able to see him for the last time, maybe you should feel sorry for you? Asha responded with her head held high.

The voice broke the deadlock.

Victarion pulled away from the painful memory.

Balon had ordered Euron not to return to the Iron Islands unless he was dead.

It has been three years so far.

The Crow's Eye had never been seen near the Iron Islands, but it happened to return today, the day after Balon's death.

Then.

Victarion immediately asked loudly, "Did you do it?! Broke the blood oath, and committed such a crime that the gods cannot tolerate?!"

There was an uproar in the long hall.

Yeah, the return of Euron "The Crow's Eye" is the real improbable coincidence when it comes down to it.

"I got the prophecy."

Euron the Crow's Eye walked forward calmly, followed closely by the mute crew beside him, and the Pike soldiers behind him hesitated.

"The whole of Westeros is about to be destroyed, and the Iron Islands will be restored to glory, and the ancient overlord will be restored, and the decree will once again be unimpeded wherever the sound of the waves can be heard."

"So, I'm back."

Euron sighed softly, "I just didn't expect that the prophecy would be carried out in this way."

"It turns out that I was asked to sit on the Seastone Seat."

Euron spoke flatly and unabashedly of his great ambitions.

Asha, Victarion, and Aeron stood in a line, blocking Euron's advance and protecting the sacred seastone behind him.

"Just now, I heard you shouting 'Queen Asha'?"

Euron didn't take it seriously, and turned to face the captains and leaders in the long hall, leaving his back to the three on the high platform.

"My only surviving nephew, Theon, is alive and well. Ironborn, why not choose him?"

Euron asked himself and answered, "Because he is not a free ironman, let alone a proud iron king, leading the Iron Islands to restore the ancient roads, winning victories, plundering everything, and owning the whole of Westeros."

"I can do all of this."

A smile broke across Euron's face, and words uttered seductively from his black-blue lips.

Asha had a sneer on her face, and just as she opened her mouth, the Dothraki next to Euron fiddled with the arakh in his hand, full of threats.

Victarion gave his niece a look. He would have liked to hear what Euron had to say.

Asha held back.

The hall was silent, only Euron's voice continued.

"I am Balon's younger brother, and I am the elder brother of the living sons of Cologne. The blood of King Viken and the 'Old Kraken' runs in my veins."

Everyone calculated silently.

Euron was indeed more qualified than Victarion.Well, Asha, in the Iron Islands, a daughter's rights have no priority over an uncle's.

"And I have sailed farther than any of my predecessors."

Euron boasted eloquently.

"Among the living sea monsters, only one has never tasted failure, only one has never bent his knees, only one has been to Asshai by the land of shadows, and has seen unimaginable wonders and horrors. "

Many people nodded secretly.

There was no captain who did not know the horrors of the Serenity, and what an enviable notoriety it was.

"as well as."

Euron brushed off the non-existent dust on the dark night scales.

"Only one set foot on the pyrotechnic ruins of Valyria, discovered a shocking secret, and gained great power."

"There is only one, which is truly favored by God."

Aeron "Damphair" shook his head persistently, no, the Drowned God would not favor a monster like him, no, never...

Euron glanced around, smiling.

"I, or little niece Asha, make a choice, Ironborn."

"Brilliant, or mediocre?"

Euron the Crow's Eye stretched out his right hand, calling to all, to victory and glory.

The scales on his body glistened and flowed.

It seems to have magic power.

Dono Sucliffe, the leader of Salt Cliff Island, was the first to react, and kept pounding on the long table, "Euron! Euron! Euron! Euron! Euron..."

Lord of Hammerhorn, Gerold Gubler cried out, "Euron! Crow's Eye! Euron!"

"Euron! The Crow's Eye! King Euron!"

Walton Winch, leader of Ironwood, joins the Crow's Eye.

Victarion took a step forward, raising his right arm.

"Queen Asha!"

Asha breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that her uncle's determination had not wavered.As long as the uncle supports it, it will not fail.

In Pyke, the Crow's Eye's Serenity was useless.

"King Euron!"

"Queen Asha!!"

"King Euron! King Euron!!"

"..."

The long hall was thrown into a chaotic uproar.A small half supported Asha, another part supported the Crow's Eye, and some remained silent.

"Stop! No entry!"

"Go away! Are you also worthy of blocking the special envoy?! How much is your life worth?"

Discordant voices came from the door again.

Asha looked over.

The soldiers guarding the gate did not dare to act on the spot.

Osha, the messenger of the Iron Throne, led her men straight in.
