Gryn, surrounded by the guards, appeared at the pier. Herschel, who had been waiting eagerly, immediately went up to greet Gryn and said with excitement in his tone, "Good day, my master!"
Gryn smiled and nodded, looked at Herschel, and said, "My loyal Herschel, long time no see."
Gryn took the reins from Martier·Baker and jumped on the horse. "Herschel, take me around."
Gryn led everyone to inspect Mermaid Harbor.
The current Mermaid Harbor can only be said to be small and exquisite. All buildings are mainly white. Although the scale is not large, it is exquisite.
Although the smell of salted fish is inevitable at the pier, the cleaning team arranged by Herschel kept the place very clean.
Mermaid Harbor's health management has detailed regulations and severe rewards and punishments, which is unique among Westeros.
The stunningly beautiful mermaid naturally prefers a clean environment... Clean sanitary conditions further prove that Mermaid Harbor is worthy of being the origin of the mermaid legend.
Mermaid Harbor is the face of Gryn showing Crabb Territory to the outside world.
Most people think that Crackclaw Point is an uncivilized place of Wildling. The purpose of Gryn is to gradually improve the inherent image of Crackclaw Point through Mermaid Harbor.
In the future, whether heading west or heading north, after achieving military victory, Gryn will face the issue of governance.
If you feel that you are being ruled by the Half-Wildling nobles, you will inevitably be dissatisfied. This will increase the cost of governance. It is more likely that the new territory will not increase your strength, but will become a burden to Crabb, and your hands and feet will be tied up.
Gryn doesn't want to fall into the quagmire of endless war and use up his Crackclaw Point, so he should use Westeros's method in Westeros.
While focusing on military strength, the political methods of the bottom, middle, and top levels must not be ignored.
There is a long way to go, but it is suitable for the scroll king Gryn.
Mermaid Harbor already has a hint of prosperity, and the new stone building is still under construction in full swing.
Herschel introduced, "My master, according to your order, I posted a notice recruiting masons at the dock. Now many masons from other places have joined the construction of Mermaid Harbor."
Gryn nodded and said, "Herschel, you are doing a great job, we urgently need to recruit people. You must remember that Mermaid Harbor represents the face of Crabb."
Herschel first accepted the order respectfully, and then said, "Don't worry, I will keep it in my heart."
At this time, Herschel was a little excited. Crabb Territory was improving with each passing day in the hands of Gryn. He felt that he was witnessing the rise of House Crabb.
He felt that Crackclaw Point was already in House Crabb's pocket. The other nobles of Crackclaw Point were already weak after Usurper's War, and they could only choose to surrender in the face of Crabb's strong rise.
I bought Gryn worth 150,000 Gold Dragon, plus the income from King's Landing and Highgarden, I feel confident for the time being.
Gryn, who was riding a horse, looked around and saw that Gryn's heart for infrastructure was ready to move.
Gryn pressed the impulse in his heart. According to the situation of the territory, Mermaid Harbor's construction has been tightened. Hold on!
Gryn's heart moved, and suddenly he felt that he was still too upright. He had a heavy responsibility, so how could 150,000 Gold Dragon be enough!
Young Dragons will also grow, as long as Targaryen is still opposite Narrow Sea, as the general person in charge of Dragon Extermination Plan personally appointed by the king, in order to deal with the increasingly complex situation, Red Keep must increase funding.
What will happen after Robert dies? Will Red Keep cancel the pursuit of Targaryen Young Dragons?
Absolutely not! This is King Robert's last wish, and Gryn, who is extremely loyal, will carry it out to the end. When the time comes, Gryn's loyalty will shame everyone in Red Keep!
Gryn remembers that in the original plot, King Robert seemed to have personally canceled the pursuit of Targaryen Young Dragons when he was dying. Eddard·Stark was the witness.
If this situation occurs, Gryn will blame it all on Milk of the Poppy. It was Milk of the Poppy who made the king who was brave all his life lose his mind.
Cersei Queen has a special status. Politics in Red Keep cannot be separated from Cersei, and it also needs the support of Cersei. Gryn must hold on to the thigh of Boss Cersei.
Gryn secretly announced that the biggest cost of Dragon Extermination Plan is to please Cersei Queen, Essos starts the big purchase!
Gryn reservedly received some of Mermaid Harbor's new and old citizens.
"Lord, may New and Old Gods bless you!"
"Lord, foreigners always defecate everywhere! They..."
"Lord, there are too few men! I want..."
"Gryn Master, we haven't had a fight for a long time! When..."
"My lord, I wish you good health forever!"
"Lord, I want a strong husband!"
"..."
The lord cares about his subjects, and the patient Gryn has maintained the image of a lord in the minds of his subjects.
The subjects who were personally received by the lord, and those who were not, were relieved that our lord was still healthy.
Warlikeness is the tradition of Crackclaw Point, but the simple old and new people of Crabb are like docile cats in front of Gryn.
As for the reason, it must first be attributed to Clarence Crabb, the legendary hero of Crackclaw Point, who gave Gryn the hidden attributes to become the leader of Crackclaw Point.
According to the tradition of Westeros, plus the special tradition of Crackclaw Point, Gryn, as the heir of Crabb, as long as he is strong enough, Mountain Wildlings can easily integrate into Crabb Territory and "restore" to a member of Crabb.
Secondly, the Vale nobles headed by Lord Jon have continued to suppress Crackclaw Point for more than ten years, making Crackclaw Point's living environment even more cruel.
As people expected, Gryn appeared at the right time. At this time, Crackclaw Point men was more willing to stick to the side of the strong. Crackclaw Point took cruelty as the premise to form the conditions for the emergence of a hero.
Third, most of the Crab Claw Peninsula is populated by mountain savages who exist in the form of tribes. Following the tribal chiefs is a tradition that goes back thousands of years, and this tradition is deeply rooted in the bones.
Therefore, there are rarely wrong nicknames. It is actually not wrong for the Crackclaw Point nobles to be called Half-Wildling nobles. At least in the minds of the new Crabb people, Gryn is their tribal chief.
Gryn looked up at the sun, pulled the reins, turned the horse around, and said, "Mason, let's stop here for the inspection first, let's go to Whispers."
Hearing this, Herschel rode his horse to the side of Gryn and said, "Sir, I will arrange it right away!"
Anguy, who was closely following Gryn, straightened his waist. He was a natural archer and was extremely keen.
Ever since he got off the boat, Anguy noticed Xunduo's eyes sizing him up, and he could feel that these eyes came from the opposite sex.
Feeling good, Anguy quietly glanced at the crowd around him... It's okay, don't worry yet!
Mutton·Waters glanced at Anguy who was acting stiffly and looked away again.
Mutton's thickened plate armor will take three months to complete. His heart has been filled with the new armor, and other things cannot temporarily arouse his interest.
Samwell·House Tarly showed his big white teeth all the way and observed everything he could see with great interest.
Samwell has learned a lot about Crabb Territory from Mutton.
Mermaid Harbor is small in scale, but full of vitality. He could not have imagined that it would be a small fishing village just a few months ago.
There are buildings under construction everywhere. Samwell I believe that in a while, there will be a new scene here.
Samwell feels more and more that his choice is right. There are so many places where Crabb can display his talents. He just hates that he doesn't have enough knowledge.
Samwell The happiest thing is that he believes that he will be able to write to his mother soon, and he will definitely become her mother's pride.
It's just... the eyes of the opposite sex are getting more and more intense, making Samwell feel more and more embarrassed and a little scared.
Mutton glanced at Samwell again and chuckled.
Samwell looked shy and said, "I... I'm just not used to it."
Mutton blinked his honest eyes and said, "Samwell, Spearwife likes strong men, you will be more popular than Anguy."
Samwell carefully glanced at the crowd in the distance and whispered, "Mutton, I'm just fat. I've been like this since I was a child."
Mutton said naively, "Master Gryn asked me to choose two bodyguards for you. From now on, you will take them with you wherever you go."
"Guard? My guard?"
Mutton nodded his head and said, "Master Gryn said that you are an important talent of Crabb, and asked me to choose a powerful guard."
Gryn's attention is always so meticulous, Samwell's eyes suddenly heated up... Mom.
Pentos, Magister Illyrio mansion.
Daenerys·Targaryen touched it gently with her white hands. The fabric was as soft as water, as if flowing through her fingers. She had never seen such soft fabric.
Daenerys suddenly thought of something, which made her feel scared.
"Brother, is this... a gift from Magister Illyrio?"
Daenerys hurriedly changed her words, but she was feeling uneasy in her heart. She just hoped that Sai Lys didn't hear what she blurted out.
Daenerys instinctively felt that Magister Illyrio could not be believed, but she did not dare to say it or remind Viserys·Targaryen.
Viserys is so immersed in Magister Illyrio's sweet words that he can no longer extricate himself.
Now Daenerys can only protect her own safety by obeying her brother. At least her brother who is immersed in his dream will not make her too scared.
"Again?"
Viserys asked back, which made Daenerys, who was lucky, tremble all over and took half a step back.
A strange smile suddenly appeared on Viserys's face.
Viserys approached Daenerys, and his smile gradually deepened, "My sister, Daenerys, what are you worried about?"
Daenerys didn't dare to move, because if she moved again, it would arouse Viserys's anger, because he would think it was a provocation.
Daenerys glanced at Viserys in horror, then quickly lowered his head.
Viserys showed a trace of satisfaction, he felt that Daenerys finally learned how to get along with the true king Iron Throne.
Viserys's eyes were fixed, his gaze rested on Daenerys's body, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
"I just realized why you are so flat? Stand up! Look, you are too thin!"
After Viserys finished speaking, Daenerys immediately stood up like a well-trained soldier.
Viserys glanced at it with a slightly critical look, and then said, "Dany, we actually have wealth that can fill a city, but it is temporarily stored in the thief's house. When I get it back Iron Throne, the wealth that belongs to me will return to my hands.
Illyrio is not a fool. He understands very well that only by constantly pleasing me and waiting for me to log on Iron Throne again, will he not forget the friend who once helped me in times of need."
Daenerys has advised himself countless times and made countless determinations not to go against Viserys's words and deeds.
But she still couldn't help but persuade, "Brother, Magister Illyrio is very cunning, so you can't trust it completely."
Viserys smiled and said, "Am I a fool? Do you want to wake up Wake the Dragon again?"
Daenerys hurriedly replied, "I, I don't want to!"
Today, Viserys is in a very good mood. Magister Illyrio's affairs have made progress. He decided to show his sister the kindness of the great true king.
"My good sister, when I get Iron Throne back, think about those jewels and silks, you will enjoy them endlessly."
As Viserys recounted, his hands would tremble uncontrollably. "I have considered that as long as ten thousand soldiers, I think that would be enough! With ten thousand soldiers, I can command them to sweep across the entire territory of Seven Kingdoms."
At that time, the major nobles will surely raise armies to follow their true king. Tyrell, Redwyne, Darry, Greyjoy and other families hate the Usurper as deeply as I do. Dornish has long been filled with anger and wants to avenge Princess Elia and her children.
In the farms and cottages above and below Seven Kingdoms, the men are secretly thinking about Dragon House, and the women are secretly sewing Dragon Banner. When I lead my army across the sea, they will roar with justice and fight for the true king Targaryen."
Viserys suddenly looked gloomy. "I want to kill the Usurper with my own hands, just like he killed my brother. I can't spare "Kingslayer" from the Lannister family. I want to avenge my father with my own hands."
This kind of Viserys makes Daenerys even more frightened. She would rather be beaten and kicked by her brother. She always feels that if this continues, she will lose her only relative.
After her father and eldest brother passed away, her mother died in childbirth while giving birth to her. Nuo was not Viserys, and Daenerys didn't even know their names. Viserys was her only remaining relative in the world.
Daenerys's eyes were hot, he grabbed Viserys with both hands, and begged in a tone of voice, "Viserys, I'm scared, please, let's go home, please, get out of here!"
After Daenerys finished speaking, the air seemed to freeze.
"Go home?", Viserys murmured and suddenly smiled.
"Daenerys, tell me, our home has been taken away by others! Which home should we go back to? After Ser William dies, where else can we have a home besides Seven Kingdoms?"
Daenerys weakly let go of Viserys and wiped away the tears that had not yet fallen with the back of his hand... My brother was here just now.
Viserys stroked the purple fabric with his slender fingers and said, "This color just brings out your eyes. Pentos The best tailor will use this fabric to prepare the most beautiful clothes in the city for you."
Viserys pinched his chin, his eyes flickered, and his tone was serious and solemn. "You also need to prepare all kinds of jewelry. These things can make you look like a princess."
Viserys looked at the dazed Daenerys again, frowned and said, "Why do you look like this again? Raise your head, look at your timid look, you look a bit like a princess! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have doubted your Blood of the Dragon!"
