Chapter 0697: Magic Mountain's Negotiation Is No Negotiation
Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Caitlin Tully, the elegant and charming Queen Roselyn Frey, the young and heroic King Robb Stark, and the Northern generals and guards are all imposing and imposing, all true warriors.
However, these heroes are too small and fragile in front of the dragon.
Under the wings of the dragon, in the huge shadow cast by the dragon, the northerners on the school field are like a swarm of small ants.
When the dragon falls, the air currents brought by its wings are like a rolling wind, blowing up the dust and snow on the ground, making people turn sideways and duck to dodge.
The demon mountain grabbed the dragon's horns and leaped off the dragon's back.
This is probably the only way to get on and off the dragon's back among the dragon riders throughout the ages, and the guy riding on the dragon's back is not a real dragon knight, he is a pseudo-dragon knight.
It's a miracle that no one knows!
The way the magic mountain descends the dragon is something that Robb Stark has never read about in the book.
However, this method is powerful and domineering, which is in line with the name of the fierce evil of the Magic Mountain.
The King of the North stepped forward and stretched out his hands to the Magic Mountain, "Welcome to Winterfell, Lord Lord Gregor Clegane. “
"Your Majesty, call me the Magic Mountain. ”
"Yes, Magic Mountain, welcome to Winterfell. ”
Magic Mountain and Robb grabbed each other's little arms hard, which was a symbol of equality and friendship. In front of the Magic Mountain, Robb is a half-grown child, and in front of the dragon, Robb is as small as a newborn baby.
Robb is not the king of the Magic Mountain.
The dragon stood proudly behind the magic mountain, like a small mountain, and when the dragon's eyes were closed, a golden-red light splashed out like fragments. The soldiers were all in awe. Both Catelyn and Roselyn tried to keep their composure, but the corners of their eyes betrayed them, and there was a slight tremor in their bodies, perhaps in euphoria, perhaps in awe, or both.
The dragon brought warmth, making the air in the school yard hot.
Harris Moran, the captain of the guard, ordered the guards to come in at once.
"Dragon Flame!" Demon Mountain said. He speaks a Higher Valyrian language.
The people of the North don't understand the language, but the dragons do.
The sheep thief's long neck suddenly glowed bright red, as if a sun had been conceived in the skin under his neck, and the light was so strong that the skin and the scales on the skin could not be stopped, and the golden-red light came out through the skin and scales, brightening the dragon's throat.
The dragon's mouth opened, revealing a mouth full of fangs, and when seen from the large mouth, the tongue was covered with golden-red barbs, dense, and in the depths of the throat, the golden-red light was dazzling, and a fireball erupted with a scorching airflow......
Rumble!
The dragon flame hit the leading goat, and the flames spread out like a tide hitting the rocks, flowing, surging, and surging, wrapping the dozen goats behind them at once, and the screams of the goats were still wafting in the sky, the meat had been roasted, and the aroma of roasted meat was wafting.
The light of the dragon flame was so bright that it stinged the eyes of the people of the north, and the flame of the dragon flame was so strong that the whole school was like a warm breeze, and the cold was dispelled, and everyone felt the heat in their faces.
"Eat!" said the Magic Mountain. This is still a Valyrian high language.
The sheep thief has come to the north, and the temperature in the extreme cold will make him uncomfortable. In order to make the sheep thieves adapt to the northern climate as much as possible, the Magic Mountain made a small request in his letter to the king of the north, that is, the dragon needs to eat goats as soon as they arrive in Winterfell.
Eating as soon as he arrives will keep the sheep thief more energetic, dispel fatigue, and soothe the infestation of the northern cold.
Dragons don't like the cold.
It takes time to get used to the cold of the north. Magic Mountain believes that in addition to allowing the sheep thief to automatically adapt to the cold of the north, some measures are needed to reduce the intense discomfort that the cold brought him in the first place.
That's eating now.
The cold in the north is completely different from the cold in the Bright Moon Mountains.
There is snow on the top of the cloudy mountain in the Mingyue Mountains, but the dragon lives below the snow line, and at the foot of the mountain, it is a place that is as warm as spring.
The sheep thief swallowed a dozen goats one by one. It's as if people are effortlessly swallowing a few small bird eggs.
After only a short while, the sheep thief swallowed the goat clean, and when he had the goods in his stomach, Na Qihan made him feel much better.
Magic Mountain patted the sheep thief on the head: "Sheep thief, go and pick up the army that is heading north, and see Priest Melisandre." ”
The sheep thief let out a low dragon groan, rubbed lightly on the body of the Demon Mountain, and then soared into the air, his wings vibrating, and the wind rolled up on the ground, blowing the hair of the Queen Mother, the Queen, and the noblewomen and nobles of the North, and rolling up their cloaks.
The people of the north watched in amazement as the sheep thief hovered above the head of the Magic Mountain, then spread his wings and flew high into the clouds, and finally turned into a small black dot until it disappeared completely.
"Can he understand Lord Magic Mountain's words?" said Robb, the king of the Northern Realm, in an emotional voice.
"I'm not sure, but he's very spiritual. Every time I told him something, I felt like he understood. ”
"Lord Gregor, the book says that dragons are the highest magical beings with intelligence. According to the royal dragon history, the sheep thief is the dragon of the castor dragon knight, and the dragon who has a close relationship with the human race can quickly understand the words and deeds of the master. Queen Roselyn Frey said.
"Your Majesty, the sheep thief has lived with humans for more than a hundred and seventy years, and I believe he has long been familiar with the language of the human race. When he allowed me to control him, I felt like he understood what I was saying. Magic Mountain said.
"The dragon is a highly intelligent creature that cannot speak human words, and he is not stupid than us. Queen Roselyn smiled.
"Yes, Your Majesty. "The Magic Mountain is polite, without the slightest hint of the rudeness that people rumor.
Moshan looked at Roselyn, this Frey's body didn't look good, she couldn't help but be weak, but her beauty was exactly what men liked.
First of all, Roselyn's skin is extremely fair, as white as milk, smooth as silk, which is tempting. Secondly, she had a delicate face, a petite chin, a delicate nose, a pair of large brown eyes as beautiful as a dream, and long dark chestnut hair that was loosely curled up to her waist. She has a more charming smile and a small slit in the center of her front teeth that is particularly impressive.
Her mother, Bethany Rothby, is deceased, the sister of Gales Rothby, the Earl of Cough in the Crown's Lands, and on that basis, if the Earl of Gales is not interested, the Magic Mountain can allow Sir Bernie Clegane to frame Gales and Robb, King of the North, for treason.
The Magic Mountain's gaze was not rude, and the time it stayed on the queen's face was just right, which made the Queen Mother Caitlin Tully, who had always worried about his public rudeness, secretly relieved. A faux pas is not a faux pas, no one will laugh at him for it, but the Starks are a stereotypical family that regards honor as their life, and in Eddard Stark's creed, honor is higher than life!
If the mountain is rude, the one who is ridiculed will become the Starks.
"Lord Gregor, it's cold outside, let's go in first, my hall has already lit a fireplace for my lords. Robb Stark made an inviting gesture.
So, the group walked into the main castle of the Stark family, and the magic mountain was full of admiration for the people of the Stark family, and the family sword of the Stark family was on his back, whether it was Caitlin or Robb, they seemed to turn a blind eye.
They all knew that the Magic Mountain had not only saved Eddard Stark's life, but also saved the entire North because of Frey's bloody wedding warning.
When the Demon Mountain led the army to aid the people of the North against the Aliens, the people of this family were silent about the clan sword Hanbing, and from top to bottom, the gaze looking at the Ice Greatsword did not show due concern.
This can only show one point, the king of the northern realm must have held a family meeting to discuss this clan sword beforehand.
The owner of the sword didn't mention it, and the magic mountain was happy to pretend that he didn't know it at all.
It is best for everyone to avoid this topic without a trace, although the magic mountain has prepared a generous statement, and will confidently promise that the sword is borrowed and will definitely be returned in the future. It's just that the exact date of this return cannot be determined. Maybe a year from now, maybe a hundred years from now, who knows!

"Mistress Gregor. In the conference hall, the Queen Mother Caitlin Tully spoke first, which showed that her status in the family was really not low, but perhaps Robb deliberately arranged for her mother to say things that were not easy to say, that is, as the saying goes, one sings red face and the other sings black face, "We are from the north, we are very familiar with the weather, geography, people, and soldiers in the north, and we know more about the situation of strangers and ghouls than adults, and I propose that the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces be His Majesty Robb Stark, and the lord is the deputy." ”
The generals of the North stood on two sides, and almost all the nobles of the North were gathered here, and the King of the North had set up a heavy army in Winterfell, and decided to fight the Wraiths here to the death, and would not retreat.
This is a life-and-death battle between home and country!
Her Majesty's words were reasonable, and won the nods, echoes, and applause of the generals in the north.
Robb Stark looked at the Magic Mountain with a calm expression, the Magic Mountain was sure that Her Majesty's words were Robb's words, the king didn't say it, and asked his mother to help him say it, if the Magic Mountain did not agree, he would be able to respond freely according to the words of the Magic Mountain.
Robb is not easy to deal with, and Moshan knows it.
But he's not an easy guy to deal with either.
"Your Majesty the Queen Mother, Your Majesty the King, Your Majesty the Queen, ladies and gentlemen, if I can't fully control the life and death of the hundreds of thousands of people in the Southern Army, and can't be responsible for them, I will retire. Will not participate in the Battle of Winterfell. "The Magic Mountain is the Magic Mountain, in a word, smashing all the truths to the ground, is a typical Magic Mountain barbarism: you need me, then, I have the final say. As for everything else, it's. If you don't agree, Lao Tzu will leave.
Robb and his vassals were stunned. What kind of negotiation is this?! The transfer of 100,000 troops of the Southern Army is not a matter of one sentence, grain and grass logistics, and the coordination of the legions in various places, all of which cost the people and money, and if they say that they will not fight, they will not fight, and the power of the king and the army are all a joke!
The polite Magic Mountain in the school yard disappeared, and the unreasonable Magic Mountain returned, and it was undisguised.
"Lord Magic Mountain. Caitlin's smile disappeared, and she didn't call Lord Gregor, her expression was serious, "My proposal, in line with the interests of the adults, in line with the interests of the Southern Legion and the people of the North, is the most conducive to the specific situation on the battlefield, not to compete for military power, if the adults withdraw their troops with a word, Winterfell will lose the support of the adults and be defeated, and then the Alien Legion will grow several times, and when the winter season comes, your south will also be captured by the Strangers, and everyone will perish together." Lord Magic Mountain, peace is two benefits, and competition is two injuries. ”
"I am the commander-in-chief, my dragons and legions will enter Winterfell to fight against the Wraiths, if it weren't for me, I and the Southern Army would retreat to the Neck, watching the battle between the Northern Army and the Wraiths, if you win, we will retreat, if the Wraiths win, we will hold the neck, so that the Wraiths cannot go south. ”
If the continent of Westeros is compared to a person, then the neck is the neck of this giant. This neck area is covered with wetlands and unfathomable flowing swamps. It is the dividing line between the north and south of the continent. To the north is the northern border, and to the south is the interriver lands.
On both sides of the neck is the sea, to the east is the narrow sea, and to the west is the sea of the setting sun.
Neck, the only way for the strange to go south, is only possible with a narrow embankment that four people can pass, and if you are foolish enough to leave the causeway, there are flowing swamps waiting to swallow you up at any time. And in the swamps, poisonous snakes and lions are everywhere.
Moshan's words made the conference hall fall into silence all of a sudden, no one knew that Moshan was so difficult to negotiate, without the slightest mutual respect etiquette and deliberative attitude, this is simply a kind of condescending and domineering, this is not a friendly negotiation at all.
"No one can break through the neck from land, and I don't think the strangers can do it. No matter how many strange ghosts there are that can't be killed by swords, the unfathomable swamp hundreds of miles wide can swallow them all. ”
Catelyn, whose face turned pale, looked at Robb, Robb's face was calm, but the ice wolf gray wind at his feet became uneasy, and stood up, the wolf's eyes were as sharp as knives, staring at the magic mountain, as if he would pounce on it in the next second and tear the throat of the magic mountain.
But the Magic Mountain was expressionless. Having tamed the dragon, the supreme magical creature, he is not afraid of the gray wind of the ice wolf, he is as stable as a mountain!
Roselyn Frey looked at her husband, Robb Stark's contemplative eyes gradually eased, and the ice wolf gray wind slowly sat down, but a pair of beast eyes were still staring at the magic mountain, and their eyes were like swords.
"Demon Mountain, I handed over all the people of Winterfell and the people of the North to you, are you sure to win this war?"
"I have!"
"Can I hear your tactics first?"
"No, you can't. Moshan said lightly, "Robb, I not only want the command of the whole army, but I also want all the soldiers of the coalition army to swear that all actions will be under command, including Lord Ed and His Majesty the King, and anyone who does not obey my orders will be dealt with by military law!"
Robb's face changed slightly, and the ice wolf jumped onto the table with a roar, barking his teeth at the magic mountain. The two rows of fangs of the Icewolf were exposed, slightly curved, like dagger steel spikes.
"Magic Mountain......" said Caitlin Tully. But Demon Mountain immediately interrupted her words: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, I want absolute military command, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, if you agree, I will tell me my military plan, destroy all the ghosts, and kill the king of the ghosts." If you don't agree, then bring out the food and drinks, let me get drunk, and then leave. “
