Chapter 0785 The Magic Mountain That I Can't Understand
The Red Keep dungeon.
It is said to be a dungeon, but there are also three floors on the ground.
Each floor is reserved for inmates of status.
For example, Jon Clinton, who was once the prime minister of Daenerys' father, Elise Targaryen, and a close friend of Prince Rhaegar and, not long ago, the hand of King Aegon VI Targaryen.
Such people are different in status and status from ordinary criminals, and generally their cells are on the ground and have a window that lets in sunlight. Moreover, it is a private room.
The Mountain met Jon Clinton on the second floor of the Dungeon.
This is a middle-aged man with a messy beard and deep-set eyes, his hair is also messy, and his face is blue-gray, as if he is seriously ill.
"Jon Clinton. Magic Mountain said.
Jon looked up at the Magic Mountain, without any expression in his eyes.
He didn't answer the words of the Magic Mountain either.
The magic mountain stopped talking, just stood at the door and looked at him quietly. After a long time, the mountain said, "Jon, if you want to die and die for Aegon VI, I will fulfill you." But if you want to survive and write a memorial for Aegon VI or something, I'll give you pen and paper. β
Jon's expressionless expression fluctuated.
Magic Mountain's words made him feel strange about the person Magic Mountain.
The reckless man of the Magic Mountain said the words 'write a memorial for Aegon VI' to Jon Clinton's suspicions, and he wondered if he had heard it wrong.
Jon Clinton looked at the Magic Mountain, but still didn't speak.
The mountain continued, "Jon, you are alive until now because I know that you are both civil and military, and that you are a loyal knight. During the Battle of the Bells, in order not to harm the innocent people, you sounded the alarm bell and told the people of Shitang to hide before launching an attack on Robert Baratheon. You rejected a plan to attack Robert Baratheon, also for the safety of the innocent people of Shitang. But this act of benevolence delayed precious time, and Robert's reinforcements arrived just in time, and your victory turned into a defeat in the blink of an eye. β
Demon Mountain said this lightly and slowly. He looked at Jon Clinton and saw that he was weak. But the resolute silhouette of the man's face could not be concealed.
After learning that Aegon VI had been killed by the Faceless One, Jon was devastated and had the intention to die. Except for drinking a little water every day, I never eat again. Aegon VI was called Little Griffin before he became king, and he himself was Old Griffin. He raised Aegon Targaryen as his own child, and the two were called kings, but in Jon's heart, they were father and son.
Aegon Targaryen carries all of Jon Clinton's ideals and hopes. Now that hope had long since been dashed, Aegon had become an extremely short-lived king, and the dynasty was destroyed after just over two months on the throne.
Although life is no longer loveless, Jon Clinton's wisdom is still there, and he can't believe that the words just now came from the mouth of the Magic Mountain, which is completely inconsistent with the nature of the Magic Mountain himself, and there is a strange sense of dislocation.
It was also because of the crushing defeat in the Battle of the Bells that Jon was deposed by Daenerys' father, King Elise, and exiled to Narrow Sea, becoming a mercenary in the Golden Regiment. He started as a lowly-ranked mercenary and worked his way up to the right-hand position of head of the Golden Order, above 10,000 men in the Golden Order, until Mopatis and Varys of Pantos approached him and asked him to raise Aegon, the child of his close friend Rhaegar and Elia Martel.
For the first time in over twenty years, Jon heard someone talk about the Battle of the Bells again. And the person who said this turned out to be the Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain's faint calm words were full of respect for him.
Jon Clinton can manage the army on the horse and the people when he gets off the horse, he is a strange man who is both civil and military, and he is also loyal and honorable, with the old-fashioned temperament of Eddard Stark, a native of the North. Although he wanted to die, he was not stupid, and his wisdom was not lost.
He felt the 'sympathy' of the Magic Mountain for him, and also felt that this Magic Mountain was too far from the Magic Mountain in his impression.
The impression of this magic mountain on him was too unfamiliar.
A cruel and wicked person who would never speak of loyalty, would not appreciate integrity, and could not love the people, but said those words very calmly and calmly.
"You won't be a Faceless One. Jon finally spoke.
Magic Mountain stared at Jon and didn't answer the question, he untied a wine bag from his waist, this wine was like a drink, which was specially mixed by Lady Jenny, which was the best way to replenish the nutrition and water of the body of the weak person, there was a small amount of wine in it, more yogurt and some other decoctions.
The Magic Mountain didn't want Jon to die, and there were not many honest and loyal people like him who loved to drill into the horns of the bull. However, if Jon only wants to die, the mountain will not persuade him, he will order Jon to be killed, and then erect a tombstone for him.
Syllable!
Magic Mountain threw the wine bag into Jon's arms: "Drink this wine and you will die faster." β
Jon Clinton picked up the wine bag and unscrewed the lid, "Poisoned wine, Cersei's idea?" he said lightly, and then took a large sip of wine, the wine tasted strange, sour, and had a very bad taste. However, for a death row inmate, it is impossible to give him delicious Qingting Island wine. Jon was so nimble that he figured it all out, and he drank down a bag of hard liquor.
Magic Mountain stepped forward and grabbed the empty wine bag: "Jon Clinton, if you still want to do something for this country, for the benefit of the people of Griffonburg in your territory, and for the dead Aegon to write something about him in the history books of the Targaryen royal family, let the jailer come to me." β
Jon Clinton looked at the wall-wide magic mountain, and his eyes showed hesitation.
What do you mean?
The words of the Magic Mountain made him puzzled!
Let the jailer go to him?
The mountain wants him to do something for the country, for the people of his realm, and to put Aegon VI in the annals of the Targaryens?
Magic Mountainβhow could you say that?!
The weird taste of wine that the Demon Mountain gave him just now wasn't the poisoned wine that Cersei wanted him to die of?!
In Jon Clinton's stunned gaze, the magic mountain walked out of the cell and threw Jon a message: "Jon, you have ruined your future for the sake of an unworthy mad king, and you have germinated a will to die for the sake of a young king who kills messengers and innocent people at will, and it is obvious that you are not wise, but terriblely stupid, and you do not distinguish between right and wrong in the pattern and the avenue." It seems that I am overestimating the outstanding people in this world. The so-called great people who people say by word of mouth are actually not outstanding. A lot of them are still stupid. β
Jon Clinton heard every word of the Magic Mountain, and the Mountain was calling him a fool and mocking the warriors and wise men of this world as if he were a great wise man. Looking at the back of the Demon Mountain, Jon realized that he didn't understand the words of the Demon Mountain. What is the so-called pattern and avenue of the Magic Mountain? Jon didn't know, and almost no one talked about the meaning of these two words.
Soon, the sound of going downstairs came. The iron door outside was re-locked with the rattle of the chains. A ray of sunlight shone through the narrow window, shining on Jon's slightly more pale face, making him feel the warmth of the autumn sun. But in his heart, there was confusion in the clouds. This confusion was brought to him by the Magic Mountain, which caused him to fall into a strange atmosphere.
The Magic Mountain seems to be laughing at him for being a person?
When did a guy who was known for his brutality and bloodlust learn the tone of a scholar?

Dungeon.
This time it's a real underground prison.
The Magic Mountain also seemed to be too small for the dungeon to sit on.
His body looked particularly burly and terrifying in a small space.
The Magic Mountain entered the underground black prison with its body bent.
This underground black cell is home to two big people: Varys, the eight-clawed spider, and Dario Naharis, the fierce general.
Dario Naharis saw the Magic Mountain for the first time.
When the Magic Mountain came in, Dario Naharis thought it was a giant who had entered.
The Magic Mountain wasn't really a giant, but when he came in sideways, Dario Naharis was dumbfounded.
Dario has seen a lot of tough guys and fierce guys, but those people together are less than half the size of the magic mountain.
In this underground black prison, the size of the magic mountain was invisibly strengthened.
The Magic Mountain sat down, casually in front of Varys and Dario Naharis.
The feeling of oppression made it difficult for Dario to breathe, and the arms of the magic mountain, like stone pillars, gave people an unrivaled oppression.
"Are you Dario?" said the Magic Mountain.
...... Uh, I'm ......" Dario was shocked to find that he couldn't speak fluently. This surprised him.
Dario, who was born as a pirate, is definitely a fierce man who is not afraid of heaven and earth.
It's just a pity that the fierce man will also meet the fiercer man, and the fierce man among the absolute fierce men will be like a villain meets a big hooligan, just because of that glance, he is naturally convinced.
"Dario, do you want to know more about Daenerys' enemies? β
β...... Uh......"
Dario wasn't clumsy, but he didn't know how to answer the words of the Magic Mountain.
"What do you mean, Lord Magic Mountain?" Varys said with a smile.
"Varys, I am Daenerys' enemy, Dario is Daenerys's general, and if Daenerys is going to war with me in the future, it is necessary to know my army and soldiers. You don't know how to fight, but Dario is a general and has been through a hundred battles, he understands. β
Dario and Varys looked at each other, a little confused as to what the Magic Mountain meant by this. Varys was secretly surprised in his heart, when would the Magic Mountain be able to say such sharp words, Petyr Berry the Littlefinger taught him?
"Dario, it's a sure thing that Daenerys and I will go to war, it's only a matter of time. There is no reconciliation between us. If I want to help Daenerys understand my training and Legion formation abilities, stay with me and be one of my personal bodyguards. β
"I will never betray my Majesty. Dario said flatly.
"I know, Dario, that it is because your loyalty is unquestionable that I offer to make you a squire by my side. Anytime, as long as you are happy, you can leave me and go to Daenerys's side, and I will never embarrass you. β
"I want to go?" Dario couldn't believe it.
Varys was equally surprised, puzzled, and puzzled, but the bald head was puzzled and surprised in his heart.
"Dario, even if you want to leave now, you can leave immediately. Magic Mountain's hand pointed to the cell door. The door had already been cracked open when the Demon Mountain came in, and it didn't look like it could close anyone at all.
"Now I can go if I want?" Dario looked at Varys, asking if there was some terrible conspiracy involved.
Magic Mountain nodded.
Varys is known for his shrewdness, and at this time he also can't understand the Magic Mountain.
"Magic Mountain, we are rats, you are cats. If you want to kill, you will kill, if you want to play and humiliate us, we will not cooperate with you. Varys said with a grin.
"Dario, Varys is a guts eunuch, and he is not a man at all, but you are different, you are Daenerys's general, a battle-hardened general, and you don't dare to leave this prison door if I let you go now?"
Dario's blood welled up and he strode towards the cell door. Soon, the sound of his footsteps getting farther and farther away came from the corridor outside, and no one stopped him, and there was no sound of swords...... Until the footsteps are completely inaudible.
Varys looked at the Demon Mountain with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Varys, I once spared you, I asked you to convince Daenerys not to attack Westeros, we want peace and not war, but you didn't do that, you broke your oath, Lord Varys, what should I do with you?" said the mountain softly.
Varys laughed dryly: "Lord Magic Mountain, I have already conveyed your words in front of Daenerys, I am a courtier, and I cannot influence the will of Her Majesty. β
"You're right, Lord Varys. I have negotiated with Daenerys, she has agreed to withdraw, and I know that you have not expressed my will to peace to Daenerys, and you have promised Daenerys that you will kill me, just like the little devil did. So, dear Lord Varys, please teach me a way to break your oath, do I kill you according to your oath, or torture you according to my revenge, so that you may not live as you die?"
The smile on Varys' smiling fat face stiffened, and he couldn't laugh anymore.
"Varys, I have an idea, you see if it will work, I will first cut dozens of knives all over your body, and then apply honey to the wounds, and then let the red ants eat the flies and wild bees, or, first break your hands and feet, and then arrange for people to serve you fragrant food and spicy food every day, and let people force you to eat with your broken hands and walk with broken legs, until you die of pain!"
β...... Magic Mountain-sama...... Kill me......"
"Really?"
"Honestly!"
"Please!"
"Lord Demon Mountain, please kill me with a sword. β
"Well, I grant your request, I will judge you in the Great Basil of Baylor in the presence of all the soldiers and people of the city, and then hang you in the Templar Square, and torture you slowly with the most cruel means! β
