Chapter 0649: Oath and Dragon
After two hundred seagull tailors entered the city, Sansa Stark saw a group of people dressed as northerners, and the voices that drifted up in the wind were the same northern accents she was familiar with.
This made Sansa feel very relatable.
"Lady Jenny, there are northerners among the artisans!" Sansa was surprised when the magic mountain had gone to the north again, and whether he had forced the artisans from the north to come or had he paid a lot of money to invite them, or had he deceived the artisans from the north into coming to the west.
"Sansa, they're from White Harbor in the North, and they're all silversmiths. ”
"Silversmith?!" Sansa was even more surprised.
Silversmiths are a group of skilled craftsmen who create gold and silver ornaments unique to White Harbor, and in the northern harbor city of White Harbor, there are the craftsmen and craftsmen who have the largest number of gold and silver ornaments in the kingdom. White Harbor was once home to the Imperial Silver Coin Factory, and after the Silver Coin Factory ceased production, a large number of skilled craftsmen of gold and silver ornaments still gathered in White Harbor, forming a unique settlement of silversmith populations.
"Yes, Sansa, they are silversmiths. ”
"Will they stay in Castelme?"
"No, they're going to Lannisport, the Klegane Bank needs their virtuosity. ”
"The silversmith is going to Lannishaven?!" asked Lady Donna.
"Yes, Lady Dona. "As paper money spreads to the West, the Clegane Bank will have more and more gold dragons, silver deer, and bronze stars, and the mountains of these coins will be made into exquisite gold and silver ornaments by silversmiths, which will then be marketed to the kingdom and the free trade city-states across the Narrow Sea." ”
Sansa couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, the magic mountain returned, this time she brought back the tailor of Seagull Town and the silversmith of White Harbor City, it seems that the magic mountain is planning the road to wealth in the west very carefully, as if every step is very meticulous.
What kind of magic mountain is this? How could the magic mountain become so far-reaching? He is an aspiring villain of the Seven Kingdoms?
Nearly 10,000 people from the Bright Moon Mountain Range entered the city one after another, but the legions of the Demon Mountain were all camped outside the city, and the marching tents were set up one by one, stretching out into the distance. In addition to the two thousand warriors of the Bright Moon Mountains, the other warriors, mostly the cavalry of the Crab Claw Peninsula and the light cavalry of the Magic Mountain, and a small number of infantry, they do not belong to Casterme, they belong to the new village of Klegane.

Madame Jeanne couldn't help but go down the city wall to see the magic mountain first, there were too many people, and as soon as she went, the ladies, nobles and knights around her would follow, and the city gate would be blocked immediately, causing chaos.
When all the people had successfully entered the city, Madame Jane came down from the city walls, and she was accompanied by a large group of people, mainly nobles and ladies from the north, as well as the generals who defended the city, the more than forty chiefs of the tribes, and the lady's guard.
The Demon Mountain rode the Red Smoke Beast, with its own camp of dead soldiers, and slowly came with a carriage.
The leader of the Scorching Tribe, One-Eyed Charm, was behind Lady Jenny, and he suddenly said loudly, "Madam, the carriage next to Lord Magic Mountain is from our Scorching Ministry, can I go up first to see who is in the carriage?"
"Who do you think it will be, General Time?"
"I saw the tribal feather ornaments on the carriage and our flame ornament, and if I guessed correctly, my father and mother sat in the carriage. ”
"Oh?"
"The feather ornament represents my mother, and the flame ornament represents my father, Mrs. ”
I see!
Jenny smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, General Timei." ”
Ti Mei's legs slammed, and the war horse jumped out of the queue, taking the lead towards the magic mountain alone.
"Madame!" exclaimed Lady Donna, "you have the great ability to teach this terrible barbarian the etiquette of humility. ”
The one-eyed charm only rode in front of her after receiving Lady Jane's permission, which was the honor and humility that Lady Donna saw.
But Mrs. Dona's words made the more than forty tribal leaders of the Bright Moon Mountain Range all raise their eyebrows instantly, and everyone's eyes were staring at her together, as if they were more than forty sharp long swords. The little beauty Zira with a necklace with human ears around her neck glared even more angrily, which made the two family knights beside Dona pinch a cold sweat, and their hands instinctively pressed the hilt of the sword, but none of the more than forty tribal leaders pressed the hilt of the sword or the hilt of the sword, they still sat upright on horseback, but their faces were cold, their eyes were like swords, and they were full of hostility towards Mrs. Dona.
Madame Donna entered the city and ate bread and salt, and was protected by the rights of her guests. No matter how dissatisfied the tribal leaders were, they couldn't do anything here. Even with hands-on power, with the Demon Mountain and the Lady here, they must be ordered beforehand.
Director Hobson's face beside Mrs. Dona turned white.
The joyful and cheerful atmosphere was stirred up by a remark from Lady Dona into a strange dreary and hostile atmosphere.
In front of the leaders of the tribes of the Bright Moon Mountain Range, it was a very serious provocation to say that they were barbarians. On other occasions, Lady Donna would have been shouted at by the tribal leaders and drawn their swords. Mrs. Dona inadvertently spoke out the contempt of the nobles of the outside world for the tribesmen of the Bright Moon Mountain Range.
"Lady Dona, General Timei is a warrior of the Bright Moon Mountains, a general that I and the Magic Mountain love deeply, and he, like all the soldiers of the Bright Moon Mountains, is not a barbarian. "Madame Jeanne was neither humble nor arrogant, but polite, and her voice was clear to everyone who accompanied her.
The giant bear-like Xia Ga raised his fist, and beat it on his chest rhythmically, they Mingyue Mountain Range had walked out of the mountain range several times to the outside world to seek integration and a place to live, and finally returned in humiliation, that is, the nobles who had encountered it were all people who were full of contempt and prejudice against them like Lady Dona, and only Magic Mountain and Lady Jane respected them and never regarded them as barbarians and sluts.
Madame Dona's casual words reveal the deep-seated prejudice and contempt for them in the minds of the aristocracy.
This made Xia Ga want to cut off Lady Dona's head with an axe, but he couldn't do anything to Lady Dona, he could only endure it, which made him, like the other brothers, although it was only an unintentional word, but it aroused the grief and indignation in their hearts!
Xia Ga's fist struck his left chest, making a gurgling sound, and soon, Conn, Gonzor, Zila and others all struck their hearts with their fists, and the rhythm was neat and consistent, and they sang the song of the Mingyue Mountain Range, although it was the local language of the tribesmen, not the lingua franca, but the song was majestic and tragic, as if telling a certain indomitable spirit that the tribesmen of the Mingyue Mountain Range had adhered to for thousands of years:
We swear to heaven and earth
In this most critical moment
Faith in the old gods of my ancestors
The bright moon and high mountains that nurture me
No one can take it away
We are warriors between heaven and earth
With the strongest courage
No matter how strong the enemy is
We are never afraid
No matter how evil the Giant Eagle is
Don't even think of us as slaves
The horn of the Bright Moon Mountains
It will always resound in this glorious land
"What are they singing?" a noble lady whispered to her husband.
The husband shook his head with a solemn expression, and was impressed by the high-pitched and majestic singing of the leaders, although he could not understand a word.
The song spread to the city wall, and the soldiers on the city wall were all tribesmen from the Mingyue Mountain Range, and they all sang this sad "Song of the Mingyue Mountain Range" together, and many soldiers had tears in their eyes, and they finally left the Mingyue Mountain Range, leaving the homeland that could not give them enough food, and blending into the outside world. Their ancestors were forced to choose to go into the depths of the mountain range six thousand years ago because they refused to give in and rode the giant eagle to seize the valley, and they retained the old god belief of the ancestors like the people of the north, and rejected the seven gods of the Andals, until today, six thousand years later, they still keep the old god belief of their ancestors, but finally got out of the barren mountain range, but unfortunately not to regain the sovereignty of the valley, but had to leave their homeland and come to the west......
Soon, the whole city resounded with the song of the Bright Moon Mountain Range, these tribes in the long history, in order to survive, have long ceased to unite, but fight and hate each other, but this song from the ancestors, but every tribe has been passed down from generation to generation, everyone can sing:
We are warriors between heaven and earth
With the strongest courage
No matter how strong the enemy is
We are never afraid
No matter how evil the Giant Eagle is
Don't even think of us as slaves
............
The Giant Eagle refers to the Andals, the ancestors of the present-day Vale Lords of the Arryn family. The Blue Eagle Banner is the banner of the Arryn family.
"Lady Jenny, I, I'm sorry. Lady Donna whispered an apology to Jenny in a majestic singing voice, her eyes full of apology and plea for help.
"You do need to apologize, ma'am. In the Clegane Army, no matter where they come from, they are our warriors and deserve our respect. “
"Yes, ma'am, I know it's wrong. ”

The one-eyed Timei came to the carriage, the curtain of the carriage had been hung, and his father and mother sat side by side in the carriage, one father and two mothers, one of whom was Timeih's biological mother. The old leader of the Scorching Tribe, the Red Hand Charm, has married several wives, and the young Red Hand Charm's mother is one of many mothers.
Timei jumped off his horse and bowed to his parents.
The Demon Mountain rode on the Red Smoke Beast, watching the father and son, mother and son meet.
Two generations of red hands, both named Timei. The father and son have the same name, which is a normal phenomenon of the Mingyue Mountain Range. Most of the tribesmen do not have their own surnames and do not have an official name.
"The land here is good, the walls are strong, your two mothers have asked me to stay and never go back, there is really nothing in the mountains, there is often a lack of food, and the children are prone to death, but I must go back, we have to have someone to feed the dragon, the castor wizard is kind to our people, we have knelt down and sworn to the old gods. Unless the dragon leaves on its own, or our tribe suffers the misfortune of extinction, someone must keep the oath. "The old man spoke the local language of the Scorching People's Department, no longer the usual everyday language such as greetings, and the magic mountain couldn't understand a word.
"Yes, father. ”
"If you decide not to return to the Tribe, I will find a new Red Hand to replace you, the dragon that needs our sacrifice. ”
"Father, I will go back, but not to live there, but to see the people in the village. Father, once you enter the city, it may be difficult to leave. We have food, livestock, iron tools here. Fertile land, strong walls, huge cities, two hundred miles of territory, the cities you see are only part of the ground, the real city of Castelme is underground, we live in miracles and legends, father. ”
"Timei, isn't there any other way for us all to migrate over? Castor Wizard's dragon is an adult dragon, and it doesn't really need our sacrificial food. The Bright Moon Mountains contain enough food for itself. An old woman said.
"The dragon often flies far away, sometimes never again for a long time, and I'm sure it has its own lair in the land of Axia in the east. It may just not be able to let go of its owner, Castor, so it appears from time to time. Another old woman said.
"We swore that you said such disrespectful words, aren't you afraid that your tongue will rot?" the old man glared at him and scolded.
The two old women were silent, but their faces were not ashamed. They just closed their mouths tightly, as if they were afraid that the old man would pull out a knife and cut off their tongues.
After the meeting, Mrs. Jenny arrived, so everyone dismounted and greeted each other. The Magic Mountain noticed Lady Dona's humble expression, and also noticed that Sansa had restored her beautiful glory, and the little girl Judy Malbran's appearance surprised the Magic Mountain, although the Malbran family had no strength anymore, and almost all the men were killed in battle, but this family was still the most staunch hostile to the Cleganes.
The group then slowly entered the city, and when the elder Timei and his two wives entered the city, they were shocked by the buildings of the city, and the tribesmen lived in a better place than the castles they knew of the nobles: clean, tidy, without the stench of feces and urine, and the air and water channels swirled like dragons and snakes, which made them unbelievable, until they entered the grander dungeon, and were finally completely shocked.
Magic Mountain whispered to Janie, "Madam, I can see that Old Timei wants to stay, but he is trapped by his oath and must return. ”
"Why?"
"Have you read the annals of House Targaryen, there are records of dragons? In the era of the Dance of the Blood Dragons, a commoner girl named Castor was a dragon knight, and a dragon called a sheep thief. ”
"The missing castor dragon knight and her mount dragon?"
Magic Mountain whispered: "Madam, the longest-lived dragon has a lifespan of 1,000 years, and the sheep thief left the royal family, just in time to escape the fate of being imprisoned in the dragon's den by the Targaryens, it is only more than two hundred years old this year, and it is the prime of life." I already knew from Old Timei's expression and demeanor that the sheep thief was still hiding in the Bright Moon Mountains, and the red hand of the Scorching Tribe's department kept this secret. ”
"You want to try to get close to the sheep thief? to get close to a dragon? that's too dangerous!" said Jenny, looking up at the Magic Mountain, her eyes wide.
"Is there a very small possibility?" a blazing light appeared in the eyes of the Demon Mountain.
"Yes, my king!" said a voice, it was Dorti Quintina, she didn't need to listen to the mountain and Janine, she could read the language of the mountain and Janine by looking at the shape of her lips, "The tribal chief keeps the oath that he only needs to find a wizard of the same faith to have him unravel the old Ti Mei's vow." If the dragon is close to the old Timei, the old Timei can help you get close to the dragon. ”
