Chapter 0721 Two Women Like Knives
"What about Cersei?"
"Cersei is Arya Stark, and really Cersei became her handmaiden, and Bachelor Coben's drugs kept Cersei under control. Magic Mountain, it was your help that made Arya possible, and she finally became the person she wanted to be the most. ”
Cersei is Arya indeed!
This was expected by the Magic Mountain.
When the news of 'Death Strikes' reaches the North, the Mountain guesses that Cersei is no longer Cersei, but Arya Stark.
The Faceless One has the ability to become anyone. Arya Stark: She's finally back!
In the name of Cersei, Arya sent a hundred golden statues from the Lannisters' Hall of Heroes to her father-in-law, Count Gavin, to the Isle of the Gods of Braavos, which shook the mountain and made them unwilling to believe it. She ordered Count Gavin to take over the gold of Crag Rock, which was actually deliberately making the Magic Mountain make a big windfall, maybe she was repaying the Magic Mountain for taking care of her when she was in Harrenhal.
Arya is a loving and righteous boy, although she is a faceless being, she has a name, a surname and a face.
This made Moshan feel an irrepressible feeling of kindness in his heart, as if he had heard the good news of an old friend who had been friends for many years and showed a knowing smile.
He and Arya, in Harrenhal, formed a friendship that lasted for years.
Both have fond memories of that life experience.
"Bran, I didn't help Arya. Magic Mountain shrugged his shoulders, "She can have today, she herself has bought it with her life and pain." ”
"Magic Mountain, Aegon 298 A.D., in Harrenhal, it was you who recognized Arya's identity and took her with you to take care of her, and after the appearance of the Faceless, it was also the Saltfield Town that you suggested Arya go to, and she successfully took the ship to Braavos in Saltfield Town. All mortals have death, and all mortals must be worshipped. ”
The Magic Mountain stared at Bran Stark in silence: Bran knew these details, which made the Magic Mountain feel strange. Although the Magic Mountain is mentally prepared.
Bran Stark was looking at the sky of the Divine Wood Forest. He sat in a wheelchair and looked up at a certain part of the sky, his expression calm, like the silent ice and snow on the earth.
"Bran, have you ever walked down the street without clothes?"
Bran Stark's gaze to the sky retracted, landing on the face of the Magic Mountain.
"Standing in front of you, that's how I feel right now. Moshan exhaled, "If you know all the secrets, what is the meaning of life? If it were me, I would feel bored." Also, I might feel less secure. Knowing someone else's secret can make that person feel uneasy. ”
"No one can know all the secrets, and God can't do it. I'm not a god, I'm just a green prophet. Magic Mountain, you are not an ordinary person, are you uneasy in the face of me?"
Will the Magic Mountain be uneasy?
Yes and no!
He shrugged his shoulders and shifted the sharp subject: "So are you Brinnden Gawain, or Bran Stark?"
Bran took his gaze off the face of the magic mountain: "I am the three-eyed crow. I am most of the memory of this world. ”
He did not answer the words of the Magic Mountain, but it can also be said that he has already answered the words of the Magic Mountain.
"Oh, Bran, tell me what the world will be like in the future, who will finally sit on the Iron Throne?" The trajectory of the world has changed so much that many things in the future are no longer certain.
Bran's gaze moved from the sky to the face of the Magic Mountain, and then slowly looked from the face of the Magic Mountain into the depths of the woods: "Diff!" he shouted.
A voice of answer came from the depths of the Sacred Grove, and the tall Div ran out of the woods with a silly smile on his face. Dev is a veteran canine worker in the Stark family, and after Mera Reed left Winterfell, Dev took over Mella's wheelchair pusher.
Soon, Bran Stark left the Magic Mountain with a back.
"Bran, can we win the battle in Winterfell?" the voice of the Demon Mountain chased after him.
Bran didn't even look back, but Diff smiled back. The master and servant went into the depths of the woods and disappeared.
There are three fish beams in front of the magic mountain, and behind it there is a three-eyed bubbling hot spring pool. The people of the north call Yuliangmu "the tree of the heart". The bark of the three fish beams is as white as bone, the leaves are crimson, and the shape of the leaves is like the palm of a human hand. The leaves of the three trees were thick, like the palms of a thousand blood-stained hands sticking out in the air. A human face is carved into the trunk of each fishbeam, full of deep-seated hollows of dried red tree sap, which is strange, full of alarm and sorrow. The faces in the trees are older than Winterfell itself. Eddard Stark once told the Magic Mountain that the faces of the Heart Tree were carved by the sons of the forest, the indigenous people of the continent, during the Age of Dawn, before the "ancestors" crossed the Narrow Sea.
If Winterfell is eight thousand years old, then the three heart trees are about ten thousand years old.
The mountain looked at the end of the path where Bran had disappeared, and he knew that the Son of the Forest could see himself through the eyes of the man on the Fishbeam, and just as Bran could see everything he was doing in front of the tree through any pair of eyes on the three Fishbeams.
Bran can see secrets, but he can't see hearts. This is one of Bran's weaknesses that Magic Mountain thought of after facing Bran.
If the Magic Mountain is willing, he can say some things that Bran likes to hear in front of the fish beam wood, and do some behaviors that are close to the Stark family, and Bran will see all of this in his eyes, thus forming a memory of the Magic Mountain. In the face of a Green Prophet who can see what you are doing, you can actually do the exact opposite to deceive his eyes.
Facing the three 10,000-year-old fish beams, Moshan felt some emotion in his heart.
The Stark family had good children, and Robb was a military genius who was invincible in the Civil War.
The innocent and innocent Sansa has grown rapidly as soon as she has experienced hardship, her intelligence and potential are immeasurable, she is fully capable of taking charge of a territory, she is a pearl that blooms at any time, and her unfortunate experience is only a pearl in the dust.
Arya was a member of the most powerful Assassin organization in the world, and the Faceless title spoke for itself, and Bran's words were as good as she was, and Arya became the one she wanted to be.
Bran Stark's achievements are more of a perfect combination of destiny and talent, he became the Green Prophet, inherited all the memories and skills of the blood raven Brynden River, he is no longer a person in the simple sense, he is still a three-eyed crow who can fly anywhere to gain insight into the facts.
The only misfortune is Ed's fifth child, Rickon Stark, when he and Bran were pursued by Rams Burton, in order not to be caught by Rams, the two brothers went their separate ways, Ado, Bran and Summer walked one way, the spear savage Eminem and the ice wolf caterpillar protected Rickon to take another path, and finally Bran, who fled to the direction of the Great Wall, met Jiujian and Mera and was safe, and Rickon, who fled in the opposite direction, was caught by Rams and taken to Fort Terror, and finally died.
The Magic Mountain looked at the sky, it was the beginning of the second month of the year 301 in the Aegon calendar, and at the beginning of the fourth month, the short transition of autumn passed, and winter came, and the demons attacked, and the Magic Mountain was ready for everything.
The Magic Mountain walked out of the Divine Wood Forest quickly and returned to his guest room. Lady Melisandre was waiting for him, she was his military priest.
"Bran Stark was here just now, and he has something for me to tell you. ”
"Oh?" said the Magic Mountain casually. But he was clearly aware of the wariness rising in his heart. This made him realize that he was actually jealous of Bran.
"He suggests you fly to Dragonstone to negotiate with Daenerys Targaryen, and don't send Jon Snow. ”
"Oh?!" Magic Mountain was surprised, "Didn't Bran say why?"
"No, if you want to know why, he said you can go and ask him. ”
"Oh!" Magic Mountain steadied, meeting Daenerys was underway, and he was waiting for the message to come back, "I have more important things to do first. ”
He gave the order, and soon, the four horseed Crab Claw Peninsula thoroughbreds galloped out of Winterfell and headed south for King's Landing. There were four dead soldiers from the Magic Mountain at once, led by Podrick Pine of the West. On his back he carried the Magic Mountain's carefully prepared gift for Arya: the Valyrian Narrow Sword for Women: Lady Silence.
The Magic Mountain changed the hilt and scabbard, allowing Master Tob Mott to infiltrate the body of the sword with the blue paint, so that no one would recognize the sword as the heirloom of the Kobre family in Vale Heartland.
The art of infiltrating the sword with paint is something that only Master Tob Mott can do on the entire continent. Oh no, there are already two people who can do it: Sir Gendry Clegane, the adopted son of the Magic Mountain.
Swords for heroes, flowers for beauties.
In the heart of the Magic Mountain, Arya is not only a hero who can receive swords, but also a beauty who can receive flowers.
He knew that Arya would attack the Stormlands, killing Aegon VI, Jon Clinton, Sister Lemore, the homeless Captain Harry Stryclan, the Race Lady Harlow, and the Duck Knight Raleigh Dakfield.
The name is out, death comes, and there is no change!
But Arya is not a pure faceless in the true sense of the word.
The Magic Mountain knew that if it was the original trajectory of the world, Sister Lemore, Harlow the Race Priest were all really good people, and Jon Clinton never killed innocents indiscriminately, even though he became cruel after five years as a mercenary. But killing enemy soldiers and killing innocent people are two different things.
*
King's Landing, Megar Tower.
Prime Minister Jon Clinton, wearing the Hand of the King on his chest, led a team of centurians into the Red Keep, with only two horsemen with him entering the Maigar Tower.
One of the knights, named Black Baqu, came from the Midsummer Islands, had black hair and skin like a dark night. The Midsummer Islands are the southernmost known archipelago, and the skin of the people on the islands is as black as night. Black Baqu is a sharpshooter and the archer commander of the Aegon Golden Regiment.
Another knight was named Sir Bennede Berenne, a sergeant, with a long sword, and a great skill in swordsmanship. He had a big beard and a fierce face. He was an exile from the Riverlands.
Black Baqu and Bennede Berenne stood behind Jon, who sat in front of Queen Cersei sitting across the table. Jon, the big man Aegon sent to the Red Keep to negotiate, entered the Red Keep without meeting Prime Minister Mace Tyrellle, Thomas Baratheon I, or Queen Margaery Tyrrell.
Behind Queen Cersei stood two white-robed and white-armored Kingsguards: two triplet brothers from the Iron Islands' Warhammer Horn Gubler family: Germond Gubler and Glenn Gubler.
Next to the Queen Mother Cersei sat the Kingdom's Minister of Law, Jane Westerling. Behind Jane stood two unusually tall and mighty female generals: Zeligerda the Bull and Brienne of Tars.
Jon Clinton freed more than 600 hostages in Stormlands before he was given the opportunity to negotiate with Queen Cersei.
After the news spread that Queen Cersei had 'gone bankrupt' and hired the Faceless with gold, Aegon Targaryen and Jon Clinton did not dare to take it lightly, and they made great efforts to finally get a chance to negotiate.
"Jon, you killed Roland Clinton's mother, wife, son, and daughter, who are also your family, and you dare to step into the Red Keep?" Cersei said coldly.
"Your Majesty, we have released more than six hundred hostages. ”
"There is one more person you must release, otherwise we cannot negotiate today. Jenny Westerling said lightly.
"Release whom?"
"Count Selwyn Tus, the twilight star of the Twilight Hall. ”
"Lady Jenny, I'm in the Red Keep now, and if I want to release Lord Selwyn, I need to wait until I get back. ”
Brienne behind Jane walked up, took out a pen and paper, and gently placed them in front of Jon: "Lord Jon, please write a raven letter, and let Aegon VI release Count Selwyn Tarth first." ”
Jon looked at Brienne, "You're Brienne Tas?"
"She is!" said Lady Jane lightly, "Jon, you write your letter, and in an hour Aegon VI will receive your letter at Storm's End." ”
Jon looked at Cersei, "Queen Mother, I'm here to negotiate with you to suspend the declaration of war. ”
"Without first releasing Count Selwyn, the negotiations will be cancelled. Cersei's voice was soft, but unwavering, and not negotiable.
"The Queen Mother wants to declare war?" Jon sneered, "Before I arrived, Dorne's legions had already garrisoned the frontier and were ready to attack the empty Riverlands, and our emissary had made contact with Daenerys Targaryen a few days ago, Daenerys would be married to Aegon VI, and her dragon would be ready to fly to King's Landing. Her 100,000 Slavic cavalry and tens of thousands of navy, 8,000 Unsullied, came across the Narrow Sea at any time. Your Majesty the Queen Mother, when Roland came to Storm's Rest Castle, he brought your letter, you want us to temporarily cease fighting, you said that the Terrans cannot fight civil war at the critical moment when the strange ghosts attacked the north, and we accepted your proposal after thinking about it - the overall situation of the life and death of the Terrans is the most important, and now you are going to regret it?"
"No repentance, just a small request: release Count Selwyn Tarth first. Queen Cersei stared at a murderous Jon. Few people can look at someone with such a majestic temperament as Jon, and many warriors don't dare, but Cersei's edge Jon's momentum can't be suppressed at all, Cersei turned out to be an extremely sharp sword.
Seventeen years ago, Jon had met Cersei, who was still a sixteen-year-old girl, as beautiful as the sun.
"In the name of the Seven Gods, and in the honor of Jon Clinton, I assure you that the truce is signed, and I will immediately release Count Selwyn Tuss. ”
Cersei and Jenny glanced at each other, Jane glanced at Brienne, Brienne's long sword choked out of its sheath, and the cold light flashed, and the long sword pierced through Heibaqu's body, piercing into the front chest and revealing the back.
Benned Beren's sword had just been drawn halfway when the sword of the two Gubler brothers, the sword of Bull Zeli, was already pointed at his head, chest, and throat.
"Jon, release Count Selwyn Tarth first, and then sign a truce. Cersei raised her glass and took a sip.
Jon snorted, "Cersei, you don't want to stop fighting, if I can't go back, the Stormlands will become hell on earth." Aegon VI would set fire to the cities one by one. When the Wraiths attack Winterfell in the North, Daenerys' army, the Golden Order, and the Dorne Legion will attack Riverlands, King's Lands, and King's Landing at the same time. ”
Janie glanced at Benned Beren, who was still fierce despite being held against by three swords, and she nodded slightly, and the swords of the two brothers, Zeri the Bull and Gubler, stabbed down together.
