Chapter 678 Victarion

The person who stood in front of Asha and rescued her in danger was her third uncle Victarion.

Compared to that year, his dark hair was much grayer, and it seemed that his life was not easy in recent years, and he had experienced many ups and downs.

However, the captain of the Invincible Iron Seed, the commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet, still has a burly stature and strong arms.

There were many crow's feet in the corners of his eyes, he looked at his eldest niece, and sighed deeply.

"Asha."

However, for Asha, the fact that her uncle Victarion is still alive is definitely the biggest surprise.

Because Victarion was the most loyal follower of her father Balon, Victarion never disobeyed his brother's orders, and he revered and even worshipped his elder brother.

When he was young, Victarion was also kind to Asha and Little Theon, including their older brothers Roderick and Marlen, and often took them to play and go out to sea.

But unfortunately, the two older brothers, Roderick and Mullen, died when the Iron Throne army invaded Pike City.

At that time, Victarion said goodbye to his little brother Theon with Asha in tears.

Because he was sent to Winterfell as an adopted son and hostage, Theon was too young to remember much, but Asha shed a lot of tears with her back to him.

However, later the White Walkers began to invade. Balon Greyjoy originally decided that the White Walkers could not cross the sea, and made up his mind to watch from the sidelines and watch the lively green land, but he did not expect the White Walkers to sneak up on the Kuroshio by rowing a boat. island.

He didn't believe it at the time, and sent his third brother Victarion to lead an iron fleet to explore Kuroshio Island. Since then, Victarion and the iron fleet he led and the Invincible Iron Seed They disappeared into the sea together, and disappeared without a trace.

Asha thought that her third uncle had already died, or that she had become a member of the ghoul army like her father Balon.

But I didn't expect Victarion to appear in Tyrosh, and it seemed that he was still alive and well.

"Uncle, how could you?!"

Asha was surprised and happy, a relative who thought she was dead but came back to life, and then couldn't help but grab Victarion's shoulder and said.

Then the uncle and nephew hugged briefly, and Asha let go of each other and asked again.

Still repeating the question just now, she really wanted to know what happened to Victarion over the years.

However, the burly former commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet shook his head, sighed, and then said.

"Long story short."

Victarion succinctly recounts what happened after his escape from Kuroshio Island, because he's been through so much.

Back then, the Blacktais family on Kuroshio Island sent a letter of request for help claiming that they had been attacked. He obeyed his brother's order and led an iron fleet to investigate the situation on Kuroshio Island.

However, the Iron Fleet led by Victarion was ambushed by the White Walkers after landing on Kuroshio Island.

The White Walkers seem to have IQs. They are very cunning. They set up a circle to annihilate all the Iron Seeds led by Victarion, and their ships were attacked by the White Walkers. Buried in the icy waters.

And Victarion fought and ran until the last moment, but was attacked by a White Walker.

He was very impressed with that White Walker, because it was a grey-haired female White Walker, holding an icy bow and arrow, which shot him in the shoulder, nearly killing him.

Victarion was finally forced into desperation and chose to jump into the sea to survive.

He originally thought that he was dead and was going to the Drowned God's Palace of Flowing Water, but he didn't expect that when he woke up again, he had been rescued and lay on a merchant ship.

They were fleeing to their homeland on the merchant ship under the banner of the Tyrosh Trading Company.

Victarion wanted to get off the ship, he wanted to go back to the Iron Islands to tell his brother the White Walkers, but the captain of the business told Victarion that they didn't save him without a price, he had to To repay the value of your own life.

He is now a slave.

Having said that, Victarion pushed back his long messy hair and pointed to the clearly exposed scar on the side of his face.

This is the mark left by the slave owner on him at the beginning, and the person who has such a mark in Tyrosh is obviously a slave.

In fact, the reason why the big ship of the Tyrosh Trading Company rescued him, did not choose to throw it into the sea again, that is, because of Victarion's strong body.

Slaves that can be beaten in this way can be sold for a good price, especially for the customers of Slaver's Bay, Meereen, Yunkai, etc.

They have the top arena culture there, and a slave who can fight can even sell hundreds of gold marks or gold coins.

The Golden Mark is the legal tender of the city-state of Slaver's Bay, Yunkai, with the pyramid on one side and the harpy of the Kingdom of Gugis on the other, while the Golden Coin is the currency of Meereen.

Moreover, the captain of the Talosi merchant fleet also told Victarion that the Iron Islands had been destroyed by the White Walkers' attack, and the Greyjoy family had completely disappeared, and it was for this reason that they brought all the supplies with them. Prepare to evacuate Westeros.

The big owner of the Tairosi firm judged that even if the young dragon master and his dragons and the Dothraki who crossed the poisonous water were there to help fight, Westeros would still be completely occupied in the future and eventually become a forbidden area for life.

When Victarion heard the captain's words, he was struck by lightning. He didn't know that so many things had happened when he was in a coma. His hometown had fallen and his family had been destroyed.

In fact, the captain didn't know Victarion, he just thought he was a strong iron warrior, so there was no need to deceive him.

Therefore, Victarion suffered a major blow and was disheartened, and he was not qualified to ask the fleet to stop advancing, and finally followed the fleet to Tyrosh.

And what happened after that was a long story.

He really went to Meereen and was sold to a slave trader. In the end, after untold hardships, he fought hard to win the championship of Meereen and earned a lot of gold coins for his master.

Later, he won the championship and his status in the master's heart rose, and he got a lot of freedom. Victarion found the opportunity to successfully escape the slave trader's control.

He slaughtered the other party and became a wanted criminal, so he boarded the merchant ship and returned to Tyrosh.

Now that he has just traveled halfway around the world and returned to Tyrosh, he is going to settle down here and be an ordinary mercenary quietly.

Then I heard that there was a fleet of Iron Thrones visiting Tyrosh, and it was his niece Asha who was the commander of the fleet.
