Kapitel 175: Chapter 175: How many fleets does the Drowned God have?
The Iron Fleet quickly assembled and left King's Harbor, heading towards the Rocky Coast with two thousand men.
This time, Victarion also brought the weapons he had moved out of the warehouse in Pike City on board. Distributing some of them to Asha's people would increase the success rate.
Euron planned to take advantage of Victarion's absence to lavishly reward his key members, while eliminating dissidents and winning over the island's great lords.
When the fight between Victarion and Asha is almost over and the power on the island is almost all under Euron's control, he will then arrange for someone to keep Victarion and Asha in the North.
Euron looked at the Iron Fleet's departing backs, sneered, and pointed the finger at Aeron Greyjoy first.
In his youth, Aeron was a lazy, vulgar, and drunkard.
He once bet his longboat, the Yellow Storm, on a herd of goats, saying he could put out the hall fire simply by urinating on it, and ended up eating goats for a year.
During Greyjoy's Rebellion, Aeron nearly drowned when his longship sank.
His narrow escape from death revived his spirit, and from then on Aeron devoted himself to the worship of the Drowned God.
He became cold, ascetic, humorless, and lived a hermit-like life on the beach.
Aeron is very prestigious among the Ironborn, and his monks, the Drowned Men, are obedient to him.
So Euron took advantage of Victarion's absence to eliminate Aeron Greyjoy directly to prevent him from leading his monks to join forces with Victarion to fight against him.
"Inform Aeron Greyjoy that I am waiting for him aboard the Silence and that I wish to build some temples to the Drowned God."
Euron's men took the order and went to "invite" Aeron Greyjoy to go to the Silence.
At this time, Aeron was studying some spells passed down by the Drowned God. Since the appearance of the red comet, the magic power in the air has become thicker and thicker. He felt that he had almost mastered some of the spells.
Just as Aeron was about to conduct an experiment, a man suddenly rushed in. "High Priest Aeron, His Majesty Euron invites you to the Serenity to discuss the expansion of the Temple of the Drowned God."
Yilan's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little scared.
As far as he could remember, when he was about five or six years old, Euron would often climb onto his bed before he went to sleep and do unforgivable things to him.
But due to his fear of Euron, these things have been buried deep in his mind and he has not told anyone, except that he still has nightmares sometimes.
After he believed in the Drowned God, the situation improved a lot, at least he no longer had nightmares so often.
But now Euron asked him to go to the Silence, which immediately awakened his buried fear.
"I don't have time recently. The Drowned God is calling me. I will go there myself when I have time. You guys go back first."
Aeron's words did not have any effect. Looking at the burly men, Aeron sighed and decided to face his fear.
Afterwards, Iren followed the guards to the Tranquility. The Tranquility was worthy of its name. No one spoke on board, only the sound of working. It was said that all the people had their tongues cut off.
After entering the cabin, Euron was waiting for him with his legs crossed.
"Brother, do you want to discuss with me the expansion of the Temple of the Drowned?" Aeron expected Euron to really discuss with him the expansion of the Temple of the Drowned.
But things went against his will. Euron obviously did not intend to discuss with him the expansion of the Temple of the Drowned God. Euron was an atheist and had no respect even for the Drowned God.
After being crowned King of the Iron Islands some time ago, he urinated directly into the sea and said that if the Drowned God was dissatisfied, he could come to him.
For Euron, the Drowned God? How many fleets does the Drowned God have?
"Let's put the Drowned Temple aside for now. What is it?"
"I came to you to tell you that the monks under your command are part of the armed forces, which is not allowed under the laws of the Iron Islands, so I plan to recruit those monks."
Euron's words made Aeron's face change drastically. "I don't understand, how can those monks be considered armed forces? They are just believers, and what law of the Iron Islands does not allow it? Please enlighten me, Your Majesty!"
Euron chuckled, and then couldn't help laughing out loud. Euron's wanton and humiliating laughter echoed in the quiet Silence.
"Aeren, what do you think?" Euron poured himself a glass of blood-red wine. "You are still as naive as before. It seems that the Drowned God has not made you smarter."
"In the Iron Islands, the word of the King of the Iron Islands is law. Do you understand now?"
At a glance from Euron, the two mute crew members immediately controlled Aeron Greyjoy.
"Euron, what are you going to do? Aren't you afraid that others will accuse you of parricide?" Aeron shouted loudly.
But Youlun didn't feel that way at all. The word "parricide" had the same meaning as "filial piety" in the ancient Celestial Dynasty. If one was labeled with the words parricide or filial piety, he would be secretly despised for the rest of his life.
But that's all. It's just a moral standard. Now everyone in the Iron Islands knows that Euron assassinated Balon, but in the face of the temptation of interests and military threats, who dares to speak out about it?
Euron smiled and stood up, then walked to the cabinet behind him and took out a ceramic bottle from the cabinet.
"Iren, I heard that after so many years of hard training, you have already reached the threshold of magic?"
Youlun opened the lid of the porcelain bottle, then took a deep sip from the bottle with a look of intoxication on his face.
"The taste of Night Shadow Water is still so tempting. It is a good thing, Aeron. As your brother, I will give it to you, hoping it can help you overcome that hurdle."
Aeron knew what the hurdle that Euron was talking about was. When the magic power in a person's body reaches a certain critical point, it can be released through spells and reach the state of casting spells.
The concentration of magic in the world is getting higher and higher. In the future, more and more people will definitely cross this hurdle, such as Aeron now. If Euron doesn't disturb him, he will be able to take this step in less than a week.
People like Ailen who rely on faith to practice asceticism are very resistant to something as addictive as Night Shadow Water.
The Night Shadow Water contains magical power, which has been certified by Asia and the Academy. It is undoubtedly a "tonic" for practicing magic. Compared with its various side effects, the magic power it brings is obviously more attractive to those who practice hard.
But this was only before the magic power revived. With the current crazy increase in magic power concentration, it has completely caught up with the magic power growth rate from drinking shadow water day and night.
Therefore, apart from those who are already addicted, few people will come into contact with Shadow Water. Even many people who are not seriously addicted have begun to quit this thing.
As if he saw Aeron's resistance, Euron began to force-feed him, "Drink, drink, this is good stuff, don't waste it, it can make you ecstatic. Every time I drink it, I can see Balon and his other three brothers who were killed by me. Hahahaha, but I didn't kill the eldest brother with my own hands. I don't have the courage to face him directly, hehe hahaha."
