Chapter 0384 - Be sure to hand over Brienne
"Bode, could you please go and fetch a basin of water?" said Bachelor Coben was modest, smiling, and relatable. A healer who looks very comfortable and has the demeanor of an elder is like your grandfather who loves you the most in the family.
"Yes, Lord. Bode looked shy, his eyes looked at the ground, and he didn't dare to look at the Magic Mountain and Cobain.
The child is introverted, shy, shy, and a little timid.
"Where's your apprentice, Bachelor? Bode still has a wound in the arm. The little devil said.
"I can, Lord Tyrion. Bode walked away quickly.
As soon as the magic mountain entered, the whole room was dark, and the room suddenly seemed small and cramped.
"Give me wine, Magic Mountain. The little devil said.
"I'll give you wine later. ”
Podrick soon returned, holding half a basin of water in one hand.
Moshan grabbed the little devil's shoulder with one hand, gently lifted him up, let him lean up, and then took a pillow to cushion his waist.
Bachelor Coben's appreciative eyes: "Lord Moshan, you are a qualified assistant. It's a pity I can't take you as an apprentice. ”
"I'd love to be your apprentice, Bachelor of Coburn. Demon Mountain smiled, "When the war is really over and the conflict between the Seven Kingdoms has passed, I will come to you to teach me magical healing skills." ”
The little devil also wanted to laugh and say a few witty words. But he couldn't laugh, and he couldn't laugh. The face was wrapped in layers of Baraba Bachelor's bandages, and it was very uncomfortable, as if a stiff and strange mask shell had grown on the face.
"Lord Tyrion, you have to stay absolutely still, no matter what I do or how I do it. Cobain's words were soft and soft, his eyes were soft and soft, and his fingers were slender and white.
"Bachelor, if your knife cuts my throat, I'm going to be absolutely still?"
"Yes, sir. ”
"Come on, I'm ready. ”
When Maester Baraba was changing Tyrion's dressing, if he couldn't see Podrick, Tyrion would worry about the next heartbeat, and the bandage in Maester's hand would wrap around his neck and cover his mouth.
The maester sent by Cersei, Tyrion didn't dare to trust.
The slender serrated knife shone with a cold glow, reminding Tyrion of how sharp the knife was. Cobain took the knife and reached the tip of it to his chin, his hand steady, and began to sawed through the shell of the mask on Tyrion's face.
The knife only needs to sink downward, which is Tyrion's throat, and with a slight stroke, blood splatters, and Tyrion will be killed, and one of Queen Cersei's life ideals must be fulfilled.
The blade sliced through the layers of ointment-coated linen on his chin, and Tyrion could feel the sharpness and chill of the knife.
The mask shell on his face was completely removed, and Cobain's hand was as steady as a knight's hand, not touching his skin at all.
The stiff bandage with the remnants of blood and ointment was thrown to the ground, making a sound like a stone.
"Other scholars will use bandages to protect your wounds from secondary infection, but this will also cause a problem, that is, the wound is tightly covered, it is easy to suppurate and rot, and it is difficult to disinfect and clean it every day, which is actually very bad for your wound recovery. Many people die from the infection. ”
What is this guy hinting at?
The maester sent by my sister added a little more interesting to the ointment?
If it was true, Tyrion wouldn't be surprised.
"I'm going to clean your wound and disinfect it once a day, without bandages, because the wound is like a human being, and it needs to breathe fresh air. But none of the scholars in the school city agreed with me, and neither did Bachelor Palaba, but it was only after Lord Magic Mountain took a look at him that Bachelor Palaba figured out this truth and agreed to let me come in to serve the adults. ”
"My elder sister asked Master Baraba to take care of everything for me?"
"Yes, she is Her Majesty the Queen Mother, and we are all her vassals. Magic Mountain said.
Tyrion understood the weight of the Magic Mountain's words, and it was impossible for anyone to enter the basement of the Meggor Building to see him. Only the Magic Mountain can do this, his military achievements have protected King's Landing, defeated the rebels, and beheaded King Stannis, even Her Majesty the Queen Mother has to make concessions in the face of the rising prestige of the Magic Mountain.
The Magic Mountain saved the lives of the royal family, the nobles and hundreds of thousands of residents of King's Landing, as well as hundreds of thousands of refugees. In order to win, there were many mercenaries and pirates in Stannis's army, and those people entered the city, not to do charity.
"Demon Mountain, I owe you a favor. Tyrion said.
In fact, it's a life, Tyrion knows it, but there's no need to say it explicitly, everyone will stop at the point.
That's what Moshan wants.
He got what he wanted, and when he had to meet with Tyrion's sword soldiers in a certain month and year, he knew that Tyrion would remember what the Demon Mountain had done for him today, and that was enough.
People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries.
The Mountain gets Tyrion's friendship. He needs this thing.
"My lord, I'm going to start cleaning your wounds. Cobain said softly. His hands are steady, his movements are light, and every step is precise. It's completely different from the feeling that Master Barabat felt every time he touched Tyrion's wounds, which made him almost faint.
"Will it hurt?" Tyrion already had confidence in Cobain.
Maester Barabat hadn't cleaned Tyrion's wounds, he applied a plaster to Tyrion's face, and then wrapped a linen bandage.
“...... Belch...... Possible...... There's a little bit of ...... Stinging ......"
"Come on, Bachelor. ”
Cobain moistened a soft, herb-scented cloth with alcohol and gently wiped Tyrion's face.
Where the soft cloth passed, like a red-hot soldering iron, pressed against her skin, Tyrion tensed violently. The Demon Mountain reached out and gently pressed him, and suddenly a large mountain overwhelmed the top, making Tyrion unable to move at all.
The soft cloth rubbed against the nose as if it had been pierced and twisted by a burning fire stick. Tyrion closed his eyes, his mouth biting on the towel he had been reluctant to bite at first, and his hands clutching the sheets, which were probably of poor quality and had been scratched in several places by his fingernails.
After brushing it off, Bachelor looked at Tyrion in amazement: "Your Excellency, you are not screaming, tsk, this is the first time I have met you, you are amazing." ”
Tyrion couldn't speak, couldn't breathe, and the magic mountain's hand had loosened, but his whole body was still tense, like a bow about to break.
Cobain continued: "My lord, if there is a necrotic place in the wound, I will use boiling wine and a worm to heal you, you better close your eyes, this bug is a bit ...... Terrible. ”
"What bug?" Tyrion finally regained his breath and spoke. He was sweating profusely and his voice was weak, as if he had just climbed up the stairs of hell.
"Where your wound is rotten, I will eat it with a black maggot, which is less painful than scraping it off with a knife, this is my unique method, rest assured, I use this method so that many soldiers who have to amputate their limbs do not have to cut their limbs. But it's a pity that the school city is not willing to use it, and many soldiers and patients have been sawed off by the scholars with saws to cut off their hands and legs, in order not to cause infection, it is really a sin. ”
"Bachelor, if I were the king, I would definitely let the school city promote your methods. Tyrion said weakly.
Every word he utters now takes a toll on Tyrion. Cleaning the wound just now is no different from sprinkling chili peppers on the wound and scalding the flesh with a soldering iron.
He was amazed that he didn't scream.
"Thank you for your trust. Cobain said elegantly.
"Bachelor, you have excellent medical skills, can my face still be beautiful again?"
"Well, I'm afraid not, my lord. ”
"Will there be scars?"
"I try to keep the scars as small as possible. ”
"Can I look in the mirror now?"
"Of course, sir, if you don't want to be scared to death. Cobain smiled.
"Being able to scare myself to death has always been something I've wanted to do. Lord Moshan, can you help me hold the mirror? I've run out of strength just now. ”
"As you wish, half-human. Magic Mountain said.
A sword wound, curvy and long, slashed from the top of the left eye to the end of the right chin. Three-quarters of his nose was missing, which reminded Tyrion of Rolger, the noseless black bear of the Magic Mountain, and a piece of his lip was missing, and the torn flesh was sewn together by the sheep's intestines, and the rough legs crossed the red skin, like the thousands of feet of a hideous centipede.
"Pretty!" said Tyrion, his voice a little hoarse, "my sister has given me another beautiful gift, and to be honest, I'm happy with my face now, it's much prettier than before." ”
Night. Prime Minister's Tower.
Den.
Duke Tywin stared at the Magic Mountain.
"Tomorrow the Imperial Council will give you a formal award, and you will do the best for it, and I will honor my promise in the Green Fork River to give you Casterme. ”
Casterme is a piece of fat, and the gold mine has been secretly dug up by the Magic Mountain, and a mint has been built secretly. The first king, Robert, gave Castelme and Tabek Hall to the Magic Mountain in name, but the Duke was only willing to give Castelme this territory.
"Thank you, Father. ”
Tywin's face was expressionless, and there was no emotion in his eyes: "Stannis has surrendered a lot of troops, do you need to select some mercenaries and freeriders from among them to fill your battle damage?"
Moshan wanted to do it very much, but his 2,000 new pikemen had very few battle losses, because Moshan gave them a bite to eat when they couldn't eat, and he also took care of the families of the warriors, so his loyalty was very high, and Moshan was not willing to replace this group of recruits with veterans. At present, his strength is the largest in number and combat power among the nobles of the entire Western Territory...... It is already stronger than the Duke himself's Kaiyan City...... If we continue to increase the number of people......
"No, thank you, Father. ”
"What about the rest?
"I hope my father will give me the Ice Sword. “
Duke Tywin did not hesitate, this sword was given to the Magic Mountain, and it was also a thorn in the Magic Mountain and the Stark family, and the loyal and righteous people of the entire North would hate the Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain has made brilliant achievements, and it is always good to have more external enemies.
"The Ice Sword is yours. ”
"Thank you, Father. ”
"Magic Mountain, tomorrow I will propose that Lord Mestiril enter the Imperial Council and serve as the Minister of Justice of the Kingdom, what do you think? ”
The war was won, and the nobles began to divide the candy. Although the magic mountain is the first in battle, it is just a dog under the Lannister, and it is impossible to get any fat, only a few bones. The Demon Mountain also knew that the Duke didn't need his opinion, just informed him and told him about it, that's all.
"My father's decision, Magic Mountain has been like a day for twenty years, and I fully support it. ”
"Hmm. The commander of the King's Landing garrison, Jacelyn Baiwatt, has died, and the position is vacant, who do you think is suitable?"
"Adam Malbran. ”
Although Adam Malbran has a personal vendetta with the Magic Mountain, he is the duke's most trusted young general, and the duke's mother is a member of the Malbran family, and the two families are closely related by blood.
The duke's face was expressionless, and he was very satisfied with the answer of the magic mountain, and the man he wanted to arrange was none other than Adam Malbran.
"There is also a vacancy in the Kingsguard, do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"
The matter of the big nobles sharing the candy, Magic Mountain decided not to participate.
"No, Father. ”
He proposed that Adam be the commander of the King's Landing garrison, and other things, if he said the Duke's mind every time, it would not be a good thing.
Moshan knew it was time to leave: "Father, can I go?"
The Duke nodded, the Demon Mountain bowed, and was about to leave, when the Duke asked nonchalantly, "The Demon Mountain, how is the situation with Tyrion?"
"It's badly hurt, three-quarters of your nose won't be gone, and you'll have a permanent scar on your face. ”
"What did he say?"
"He said pretty. ”
"Pretty? What pretty?"
"His face, which he thinks is more beautiful than the original. ”
Duke Tywin was silent, the youngest son's words were always surprising, and often unstoppable.
"Do you know why Mandenmoor killed him?"
"I don't know, Father. ”
"You didn't ask him?"
"Nope. ”
"He didn't tell you anything?"
"No, there isn't. ”
"Well, there you go. ”
"Yes, Father. ”
The Magic Mountain walked to the gate, and the Duke spoke again: "Loras Tyrell, the Knight of the Hundred Flowers, came to me, and he said that you will not allow him to take and execute Brienne of Tarth?"
"Father, Brienne is one of many captives captured by Julie Cregan with a hundred archers in the Royal Forest, and she is not a captive of the Tyrells. “
"Brienne killed Lan Li, and Loras must avenge Lan Li. The Duke slowed down, "Loras and Ranley have grown up together since childhood, and they have a deep relationship, and I don't want to have any unpleasantness with the Tyrells because of a little Brienne. “
Magic Mountain slowly turned around and looked at the duke: "Father, Brienne is not guilty. It was a shadow that killed Lan Li, a shadow that was exactly the same as Stannis. ”
"How do you know?"
"I've interrogated Brienne. ”
"You believe her?"
"I believe it. ”
"Why did she disguise herself as a regular soldier and mingle in Stannis's logistics army, and what did she want to do?"
"Look for an opportunity to assassinate Stannis and avenge the Blue Rites. She is one of Lan Li's Seven Rainbow Guardians, and she is loyal and must kill Stannis. ”
"It doesn't prove that she's not the murderer of Lan Li. ”
"Father, I have this. Magic Mountain took out a long silver needle from his bosom.
Lord Tywin was familiar with this needle, and when a witch wanted to see a person's future and make a prophecy, she would prick the finger or arm with a similar needle, take a little blood and lick it. He himself had been stabbed many times. Wu Ji said that the Magic Mountain also learned a little bit of blood witchcraft from her, and knew a little bit of dark secret techniques, but it was only a surface.
"The facts themselves don't matter, Magic Mountain. The relationship between the Lannisters and the Tyrells needs to be carefully maintained, and our alliance has only just begun. The North has not yet been subjugated, there are still remnants of the Riverlands, Dorne has been at odds with us to the West, the Vales are de facto independent, the Riverlands are one of the granaries of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Lannisters need the Tyrells as allies. Giving Brienne to Loras will cement the alliance between our two families. ”
"The Knight of the Hundred Flowers doesn't have to kill Brienne, he has to avenge Lan Li, and I killed Stannis to avenge him. The mountain looked into Duke Tywin's eyes, "Father, give me a chance to convince Sir Loras. ”
Duke Tywin adjusted his sitting position slightly, "I won't allow you to touch Sir Loras, and verbal threats are absolutely not allowed. ”
"I won't use force, my father, I'll be reasonable. ”
"Nothing to do with force or threats?"
"Yes, Father. ”
"What if I want you to hand her over?"
