"Edmure, enter Crag Rock City, come to my room, I have something to look for you. Magic Mountain said condescendingly in the air. His majesty is as awe-inspiring as his dragon.

"Yes, Your Majesty. "Edmure was respectful.

The dragon swept by, the shadows removed, and the people returned to the light.

The wind from the dragon's wings had not subsided, and the dragon had flown into Crag City. The entire Rock City resounded with deafening cheers.

Correct!

Three dragon groans came from far away, and the black dragon, the white dragon, and the bronze dragon returned. The dragon moan of the sheep thief was a command for them.

People have kings, and dragons have their own leaders.

The sheep thief is the king of the black, white, and bronze dragons.

Whew!

The three dragons swept over the heads of the crowd, drew a graceful arc, and fell into the Rock Castle, where the high walls blocked the view and were out of sight.

All the soldiers in the river were frightened.

There is a dragon in the magic mountain, who dares to disobey?

Edmu's heart was equally shocked!

When he learned that Daenerys Targaryen was also king of the Magic Mountain, he didn't believe it.

The battle of the Magic Mountain is indeed very brave, but in the name of his murderous and tyrannical first evil, how can Daenerys also surrender?!

But then, more and more information and the rhetoric that circulated had to convince him.

Now, in the territory of Crag Rock City, Daenerys's three dragons appear here, whether he admits it in his heart or not, the magic mountain has indeed conquered Daenerys Targaryen.

The dragons of the Magic Mountain are invincible, and there are three dragons of Daenerys to assist him, who in this world can still stop the soldiers of the Magic Mountain?

Edmure looked at the lady in the carriage with the same shocked face, he knew that the Riverland was not destroyed by the Magic Mountain, because he had married Elenia.

Back then, the Magic Mountain tried everything to marry Elenia to him. He refused at first, but eventually, under the coercion and temptation of the Magic Mountain, he married Elenia Westerling and became the brother-in-law of the Magic Mountain.

Although he did not send a large number of legions to fight together in various parts of the Magic Mountain, he did not declare war on the Magic Mountain. This also gave the Magic Mountain the time and space to strengthen itself.

"Madam, when we enter the city, will you accompany me to His Majesty?"

"I'd love to, but wouldn't it be offensive to His Majesty?"

"No, he's your brother-in-law. He is very fond of you. "Edmure doesn't know what the Magic Mountain wants to say to him, but he really has something to do with the Magic Mountain, the first is the territory of Harrenhal, and the second is the matter of the Earl of Murton in Fountain Town to submit to the king's territory.

Both of these events are absolute life events for Edmure.

Reclaiming the jurisdiction of Harrenhal and Nuquan is nothing more than a matter of His Majesty's words.

Edmure was pampered from an early age, the only son of Lord Tully, and from the time he was born, he was destined to become the Duke of Riverrun. The people he has been friends with since he was a child are all teenagers from the great nobles of the Seven Kingdoms, and he has extreme contempt for a notorious and vulgar guy like Magic Mountain in his heart.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that in just a few years, the history of Westeros changed greatly, and the Demon Mountain, the worst of the Seven Kingdoms, became the lord of the Seven Kingdoms.

During the rise of the Magic Mountain, Edmu's Riverland and the Magic Mountain worked closely together commercially, making a lot of money from salt to milk, wine, freshwater fish, iron ore, the Clegane Bank, wheat, spices, and cloth. Edmure didn't have any subjective dislike for the Magic Mountain, but Count Murton of Nuquan Town switched to the Magic Mountain, which made Edmure's impression of the Magic Mountain suddenly turn into a bad thought.

Of course, it was not yet decided whether the Earl of Murton would return to the crown or remain loyal to the Tully family in Riverland.

*

The Riverlands party had arrived at the foot of the Rock Castle, the gates of which had already been wide open, and Renard Westerling himself had come to meet them.

Among the Seven Kingdoms, Duke Edmure Tully of the Riverlands was a well-deserved nobleman and Raynard's brother-in-law. And after Sansa and Renard got married, from Sansa's side, Renard became Edmure's junior.

The two sides dismounted and exchanged courtesies at the gate of the city. After the salute, Renard said, "Lord Edmu, please come with me, His Majesty the King is waiting for you in the Shell Hall." ”

"His Majesty sent you?"

"Yes, Lord Duke. ”

"Okay, let's go to the Shell Hall. ”

It wasn't Edmure's first time in Crag Rock, but it was the first time he'd heard of Shell Hall. When he came to Crag Rock, there was no place called Shell Hall in Crag Rock.

It looks like it's newly built!

The Westerlings have a queen, and it makes sense that the castle will be overhauled.

*

Crag Rock City, Shell Hall.

The hall is not very large, and from the outside it really looks like a seashell.

At the gate of the shell hall, there are a total of twelve guards of the Magic Mountain's personal guard battalion, led by a one-eyed charm. The one-eyed he stared at Edmure stabbed like a knife in Edmure's face, much to Edmure's discomfort.

The two sides of the gate, including the ornamentation on the gate and the door frame, are the coat of arms of the Clegane family.

There was no one else in the room, just Magic Mountain and Eddard Stark, who seemed to be waiting for him.

Renard took Edmure and left, he still had a lot to do. A number of big names from other places also arrived today, and Renard was in charge of greeting the dignitaries at the gate.

"Sit. Magic Mountain raised his hand and motioned for Edmure to sit down.

Edmure sat down, and with Eddard Stark there, his heart was much calmer.

Eddard Stark's face was a frozen dry red characteristic of the Northerners, and he looked at Edmure with a grim expression, like frozen ground under the ice and snow of the North.

Eddard Stark has always been unsmiling and serious.

"Brother-in-law, where's my sister!" Edmure asked in a whisper. Talking to Ed can effectively relieve the tension in his heart. As soon as he entered Rock City, he was taken to the Shell Hall of the Magic Mountain, what did the Magic Mountain ask him?

"Caitlin took the boat and got to the West before I did. ”

"By boat?"

"Yes, board a boat in the fishing village of Norunfang City in the north, cross Tiemin Bay, and soon reach the seaside pier of Rock City. ”

"His Majesty the King specially flew a dragon to pick you up in the north?"

"Yes, I never thought I'd ride a dragon once in my lifetime. Eddard's frozen face softened a lot. His heart has always been a fire, and his expression has always been a ball of ice.

Moshan stared at Edmure, he could see Edmure's nervousness and uneasiness, as if this kid owed Moshan a lot of money. Magic Mountain didn't interrupt Edmure's whispering, he asked Edmure and Edd to catch up first.

The Magic Mountain is no longer the fierce and mighty Magic Mountain on the surface, and in his heart, there is the soul of a very friendly college student. It's just that it is not known to outsiders.

After a few simple greetings, Eddard stretched out his hand to stop Edmure's continued questioning, and he said, "Your Majesty, Edmure is here, what is the important matter for you to find him?

"No, Lord Duke. You don't have to shy away. ”

Ed is the independent king of the North, but the Magic Mountain does not call him king, he calls Ed's title, which is not rude, but expresses the hint that the Magic Mountain does not want Ed to be the king of the North.

Ed nodded, and sat down!

Moshan looked at Edmure: "Lord Edmu, I heard that you are dissatisfied with me, I want to hear what you are dissatisfied with me. ”

*

Edmure was stunned!

Ed was also stunned, he didn't expect that the magic mountain would call Edmu to his shell hall in the first place, it was because of this reason.

The society is complicated, there are many rumors and rumors, His Majesty the King can't just come to Edmu to question him face to face just because he heard some words! Such a trivial matter should have passed casually after the wedding or when he borrowed a drink between the weddings, and the Magic Mountain asked Edmu such a question in person so solemnly, it seemed that the Magic Mountain was still a little uncomfortable with being the king.

The king of a kingdom shall have a great number, and shall not be concerned with everything and men.

Edmure is not an outsider either!

*

"Your Majesty, I am not dissatisfied with Your Majesty. If Your Majesty hears anything, it must be rumors. Edmure said.

"Oh, then, Earl Murton, he wants to submit the town of Nuquan to the king's domain, and no longer be your vassal, and you agree to it?"

Edmure stammered, speechless for a moment.

Eddard Stark also heard about this for the first time, and his expression became obviously serious: "Your Majesty, Nuquan Town originally belonged to the territory of the Tully family, and His Majesty the King could not arbitrarily seize the territory of his great vassals, this is a very bad precedent. Even if Nüquan Town belongs to the Tully family, it is still the territory of the king, and among the seven kingdoms, which land does not belong to Your Majesty?"

This time, it was the turn of the magic mountain to be stunned.

Ed said that among the Seven Kingdoms, which land does not belong to His Majesty?!

Obviously, the northern territory is already independent from the Seven Kingdoms.

"Lord Eddard, I didn't understand what you said. Demon Mountain said with some hesitation.

Edmure looked surprised.

He never expected Ed to say such an inappropriate sentence for the sake of his female spring town. The northern realm is obviously independent and no longer belongs to the vassals under the Iron Throne, but Ed's words obviously mean to surrender again?

How is this possible?!The brother-in-law spoke in a hurry, and the words rushed out of his mouth, did he miss anything?

However, with Ed's character, in this case, he would never make a mistake because he was in a hurry.

Ed said, "Your Majesty, the North will officially return to the Iron Throne after the wedding, and I hope His Majesty will not strip me of my position as Guardian of the North. ”

Magic Mountain stared at Eddard Stark, and said that Ed was a rare person of integrity and loyalty, and this is the proof!

The Demon Mountain has a great kindness to the North and the Stark family, he killed the Night King and saved the entire North Border, which is a great favor, and the North will not be able to repay it no matter what, unless he surrenders.

And Eddard Stark chose to surrender!

The mountain stood up and walked over to Ed. He was very tall, so he lowered his body and grabbed Ed's hand with both hands, and the palm of the magic mountain was hot: "Lord Ed, I am grateful that you can surrender." ”

"Your Majesty, the North and the Stark family will always remember His Majesty's great kindness, and the North will submit and never betray. Eddard Stark knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and placed his right fist on his left chest, vowing.

Moshan hurriedly helped Ed up, and his face felt slightly hot.

Magic Mountain never dreamed that Eddard Stark would surrender to him like this. He had prepared a lot of rhetoric to give Eddard Stark a "moral lesson" after the wedding, but now it seems that none of those preparations will be used.

Dealing with the older generation of loyal and upright people like Eddard Stark and Jon Clinton is indeed worry-free and reassuring. Eddard Stark could naturally see that the Magic Mountain did not want the independence of the North, and he, a sincere person, did not need the Magic Mountain to make a painful statement, and he surrendered and returned directly.

Earl Jon Clinton, who is as 'stupid' as Duke Eddard Stark, promised to be the prime minister of the Magic Mountain for two months, and helped the magic mountain to sort out the political affairs of the dynasty first - the newly established new dynasty has a lot of government affairs, involving all levels, which really needs a person who is very experienced in every aspect to be the prime minister, and such a person is indeed not easy to find.

Jon sorted out the royal affairs for the mountain within two months, and then, the mountain found another reason to ask Jon to be prime minister for a while longer, and the mountain promised Jon to allow Jon Clinton to return to the eagle's nest for retirement as long as Sansa returned to King's Landing after her wedding.

Jon Clinton, like Eddard, was a man of integrity and loyalty, and when His Majesty did not have time to return to the palace to attend to the affairs of the government, he once again agreed to His Majesty's request to continue to serve as Prime Minister.

What Jon Clinton didn't know was that when Sansa's wedding was over, his Majesty would have more and more troublesome things to deal with, and he would have to be Prime Minister for a while until His Majesty could spare time to choose another Prime Minister. And His Majesty the King, I am afraid that there will be no time in his lifetime to elect a real Prime Minister.

Eddard Stark's voluntary submission made the Magic Mountain's heart flutter, and he thought that his Kingsguard was still one missing, and of course he had someone in mind, the fearless Ser Barristan Selmy. Barristan, recognized as a true great knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a piece of true steel, has returned to his homeland after leaving Daenerys.

Ed Stark, Jon Clinton, and Barristan Selmy are all members of the older generation. This kind of person has a common weakness, which is to insist on chivalry and pay attention to honor. is only willing to be a big husband, never a real villain.

The Magic Mountain decided to send someone to Barristan's hometown and invite Barristan back to be the Kingguard. Barristan won't sell the Magic Mountain's account, but he will listen to Daenerys, so it's good to ask him to come back in Daenerys's name.

The royal family needs more real steel to join.

*

Eddard Stark said, "Your Majesty, about the Muton family ...... Fountain Town"

"Lord Duke, I promise to persuade Earl Muton to stay in Riverlands, the Muton family was a vassal of the Tully family, and will be in the future. ”

Edmure was overjoyed, and a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, like a blooming flower.

The heavy boulder that weighed on his heart was removed, and the Demon Mountain didn't wait for Duke Ed to finish speaking.

"Your Majesty, Harrenhal is also part of our Riverlands......"

"Lord Edmure, the Starks, the Cleganes, the Tullys, and the Westerlings are now a family, and I will convince Littlefinger to quit and return Harrenhal and the Lake of the Eye to the Tully family, and Harrenhal and the Lake of the Eye have always belonged to the Riverlands. ”

Edmure was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and suddenly stood up: "Your Majesty, I, I, I'm grateful, grateful......"
