Chapter 467 Daughter of the Sea Monster
"How many eyes does Duke Bloodraven have?
A thousand, plus one. "
The ballad of "A Thousand and One Eyes" has been sung in the Seven Kingdoms since the time of Aegon IV, and what it describes is Brynden Rivers.
This legendary figure who was active more than a hundred years ago is the illegitimate son of Aegon IV, the "Yong King" and Lady Mirissa Blackwood.
is also one of the legalized "noble illegitimate children".
This person used to be a member of the Imperial Council and was in charge of the kingdom's intelligence affairs. It is said that the entire continent of Westeros has his eyes. One thousand and one eyes were first derived from this.
Now Varys, the chief intelligence officer known as the "Octospider", will probably pale in comparison to the original "Duke of Blood Raven".
On the eve of the Blackfyre Rebellion, it was Brynden Rivers who knew the secret in advance and informed Daeron II to issue an arrest warrant, which directly triggered the Blackfyre Rebellion.
And in the battle to suppress the rebellion, Brynden also personally killed his illegitimate brother, the initiator of the Blackfyre Rebellion, Damon Blackfyre.
The second and third Blackfyre Rebellion after that were both forcefully suppressed under the auspices of the Duke of Bloodraven.
Brynden Rivers also served as the Hand of the King of Aerys I and Maekar I. After the death of Maekar I, because the throne was pending, he also presided over the Great Council and supported Aegon V.
But because of the harsh methods and the use of some disgraceful deceitful methods in suppressing the Blackfyre Rebellion, Aegon V imprisoned Brynden Rivers in the name of killing relatives and breaking his oath.
But the king didn't dare to kill the famous Duke of Bloodraven, but dispatched him to the Great Wall.
Brynden Rivers also served as the commander-in-chief of the night watchman, but when he was out on patrol, he disappeared mysteriously and was never heard from again.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNot many people in Westeros now remember the once-prominent "Duke of Bloodraven". People of his contemporaries have already become dead bones in the tomb. The Targaryen Dynasty has been destroyed, and even Barra The Theon Dynasty is about to collapse, and Brynden Rivers is still alive.
Calculating the time, the Duke of Blood Raven is almost one hundred and thirty years old.
This is the age that a normal person can live to.
Samwell looked at the old man who was almost integrated with the weirwood in front of him, and wondered in his heart, can the current Duke of Bloodraven still be called a human being?
"Your Majesty, winter is coming." Brynden River said again, "Please lead the army of the Seven Kingdoms north to support the Great Wall as soon as possible. The White Walkers are coming, and their horror is far from what Euron Greyjoy imagined It can be compared. All human beings can do is to do their best, not to be afraid of sacrifices, and to pray to the gods."
"I will do my best to prevent this disaster." Sam Will said, "If there is nothing else, I will go first."
"good."
Samwell thought that the other party would remind the crow's eye of the **** eyes again, but Brynden River didn't say anything.
He glanced at the ignorant Bran Stark for the last time, and sighed slightly in his heart.
The Stark boy had no idea what he was facing.
His fall, his dream, and his fate are all like a well-arranged scene.
The manipulator behind the scenes, of course, needless to say.
Samwell is deeply wary of the Three-Eyed Raven.
This is not only because of Euron Greyjoy's warning, but also because he knows that behind the Three-Eyed Raven stands the Old God.
He has long lost trust in the gods.
Moreover, this time the Three-Eyed Raven suddenly intervened in his battle with Euron. Although it did provide great help, Samwell always felt that this matter was full of weirdness and strangeness.
What's more, the three-eyed crow Brynden Rivers has a deep hatred with the Blackfyre family.
Samwell has never admitted that he is the remnant of the Blackfyre, but everyone in Westeros thinks he is the Blackfyre, and I am afraid that Brynden Rivers thinks so too.
In this case, Samwell must of course be vigilant.
The blood-colored eye left by Euron, he would not give it to the Three-Eyed Crow easily.
The scene in front of him gradually shattered, turning into bursts of green smoke and dissipating in the air.
Samwell's mind returned to reality.
Just as he was about to return to King's Landing, he saw a long boat staggering towards the shore.
The sails on the ship have long been damaged, and the original golden sea monster's coat of arms can be vaguely seen.
Samwell was surprised, he couldn't believe that someone could survive such a terrible storm and the army of ghouls.
He walked over curiously.
"I surrender, Your Majesty Caesar!" A slightly hoarse female voice sounded from the boat.
At this time, Samwell also saw clearly that standing at the bow was a slender girl with short hair. Her appearance was not perfect, but she had a different kind of heroism, and she had a good smile.
"Who are you?"
"Asha, eldest daughter of Balon Greyjoy, King of the Iron Islands."
"I've heard of you." Samwell watched as the girl docked the longboat on the shore.
There are three other people on board, a big man with a red beard, a man with a long axe, and...

"Your Majesty," Earl Lucas Dane said as he struggled to get up, "I have let you down..."
"It's not your fault." Samwell waved his hand generously. No matter how powerful the Stormland Fleet is, it's useless when encountering a pervert like Euron.
"I failed to hug your fleet..."
"The fleet can be rebuilt, as long as you are alive."
"Your Majesty, you are so kind..."
"Yes, Your Majesty Caesar." Asha interjected, "You will forgive us, right? It is my uncle Euron who is against you. I have long wanted to have peace talks with you."
While Asha was speaking, the ironman holding a long ax quietly walked behind Earl Lucas. It seemed that if Samwell disagreed with the settlement, the ax in his hand would be chopped off.
Samwell laughed again:
"As long as the ironborn are willing to submit, I can forgive you."
Asha knelt down on one knee without hesitation, and said loudly:
"I, Asha Greyjoy, daughter of the brave Baron, the first legal heir to the seat of Seastone, under the witness of the Drowned God, offer unparalleled loyalty to His Majesty the Storm King Caesar!"
Samwell drew out his giant sword and tapped Asha's shoulder lightly:
"I accept your allegiance."
Today's Iron Islands have long been ruined by Euron, and they can no longer pose a threat to Westeros.
Winter is approaching, and Samwell doesn't have the time to clean up these guys, so since Asha is willing to be loyal, he is also happy to let the daughter of the sea monster help him restrain those ironmen.
"Gather your people and let them go to Blackwater Bay to search for survivors of this disaster." Samwell ordered.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
After explaining this, Samwell rode on the white dragon and flew towards King's Landing with Viserion.
