(This chapter was written in two editions, which took time, well, a long time.) ）

A burly man in a black cape with his face hidden in his hood walks into the Count of Ode's noodle shop on Silk Street.

At night, there are few people on Silk Street.

Count Ode's noodle restaurant closes in the afternoon.

The man enters the noodle restaurant through a side door.

Behind the door was a very tall and burly maid, with a long sword hanging from her waist, dressed in leather, and her joints were finely armoured, glowing with a black glow. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, big hands and feet, and the man feels as if she is ...... Well...... The female version of the Magic Mountain.

The burly man who came in paused slightly, as if he was stunned for a moment, and then calmed down and followed the maid who did not look fierce.

The female version of the Magic Mountain is Janie's maid, Bernie's wife, who was once called a bull by Bernie, and Jenny named her Zeligerda.

Zeli led the man into the back kitchen, turned into the vegetable pantry, and pushed open a secret door with a spiral staircase going down. Zeli stood at the top of the stairs and didn't go down, motioning for the visitor to go down by himself, and the visitor walked down the stairs to a spacious basement with decent air.

The person who came took off his cloak, took off his hood, and took off the shoulder pads in his shoulders, and the whole person was thinner, but his height was still the same: bachelor's degree.

In the basement there were already people sitting, a table, a couple of stools.

A mountain-like fierce man in the center: Magic Mountain.

A noblewoman with unparalleled beauty and a skin as bright as snow beside the Magic Mountain: Jane.

To the left and right of the two of them, on the left is Petilberg the Littlefinger, and on the right is a little taller than the little demon Tyrion: the ventriloquist Bernie.

The basement is taller than the average basement, and it is estimated that it was built for the sake of the size of the Magic Mountain.

Cobain sat down, and the location was directly opposite the Magic Mountain.

Magic Mountain said: "Everyone is here, don't talk nonsense, I killed Horace, the head of the palace last night, I think you have all heard about it." “

"I heard from a golden-robed guard, and his news came from a little maid who was cleaning the room in the Megar Building. Littlefinger Petyrberg said.

Littlefinger is inside the Red Keep and has his own independent intelligence system, which is responsible for collecting information from the Red Keep and reporting it to him. Maybe when you pass by, a maid who mows the lawn is the one with Littlefinger.

"I know, His Majesty told me. He said that someone had murdered his court head, Lord Horace, and he didn't know why, but he knew that it was the order of Duke Tywin. The king believed that his mother, Cersei, was also involved. ”

"My little bird reported the news to me this morning, and I know that it was the hand of Lord Magic Mountain. ”

Cobain and Little Finger were both moved in their hearts, and their eyes looked at the little man together.

It's too sensitive, Varys' very stealthy intelligence system!

Bernie smiled: "Lord Magic Mountain wants the three of us to join forces and share information and exchange together, so I came to meet with the two adults today." After Varys left, Little Bird's work was handed over to me, and we are still in touch with Lord Varys on the other side of the Narrow Sea. He has now taken refuge in Daenerys Targaryen, who already has three dragons, but the dragons are still very small, and they are currently in the city of Pantos in the east. ”

Cobain didn't hide his surprise.

Littlefinger smiled his trademark grace, adjusted his sitting position, and gently turned the ring on his finger. His heart was magnificent, and he was surprised, but he was silent on the surface.

Jenny smiled gracefully, taking in both Cobain and Littlefinger's reactions. She saw Littlefinger adjust her sitting position and turn the ring on her hand, and she also saw the shock in Littlefinger's heart.

Moshan took out the copies of the 'Order of Entry' and 'Order of Rental' written by Cobain that he had taken from Horace Kevin from his arms, and gently placed them on the table: "Horace Kevin read these two documents, and as a result, he died last night. If Duke Tywin knew that this was actually Cobain's idea and drafted it himself, Cobain, do you think you'd survive last night?"

Coben opened his mouth and stammered, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Jenny saw that Cobain was unguarded in front of the Magic Mountain, did not hide himself, did not deliberately control his reaction, he had no defense against the Magic Mountain, and everything was naturally revealed. Littlefinger, on the other hand, is well disguised with his inner emotions, and can only judge his true inner thoughts by his eyes, breathing, sitting posture, small movements on his fingers, etc.

It's hard to say who is more human.

Maybe Cobain is not necessarily more intelligent, and Littlefinger is conceited and smart, always trying to see through everything about others and hide himself, but in Janie's silent cold eyes, Littlefinger is often clever and mistaken by cleverness.

"Why?" Magic Mountain pointed to the copy file, "I want to know why." ”

Littlefinger also wanted to know the reason, why did Cobain instigate His Majesty to make the 'Decree of Entry' and 'Order' only against Lord Magic Mountain?

Duke Tywin had been using the magic mountain for twenty years, and this year was the twenty-first year, how could he have allowed this sword to be free and rise step by step and finally get out of control? With Duke Tywin's cruelty, once this knife gets out of his hands, he will definitely destroy it, not give it to anyone else, and will not allow the knife itself to become a real person.

Cobain's hidden evil intentions: Is it to get Duke Tywin to destroy the Magic Mountain?

And, it's important to note that Joffrey is hard to control, and how Cobain made Joffrey so obedient Littlefinger cares about that. He found out that he had seriously underestimated Cobain, and this guy knew not only about medicine and other scientific knowledge, but also about people's hearts.

Understanding people's hearts is the hardest part. Littlefinger has always thought so.

He thinks that the Red Keep is full of liars, talents, and masters, but he is the most powerful of them.

There used to be a Varys who was on par, and when Varys was defeated, Littlefinger took the lead, and he asked himself if he had no opponent.

When the little devil entered, even if the little devil knew that it was Littlefinger who framed him and almost lost his life, the little devil still had nothing to do with Littlefinger. Now Littlefinger has been promoted to the Duke of Harrenhal, and the little devil has been relieved of the position of prime minister, and has done nothing, although he has made great achievements, he has not even earned a half-official position, and he has offended Queen Cersei, and his life and death are worried.

Now that the little devil and Shae are in the hands of Littlefinger, Littlefinger wants to frame the little devil again, which is as easy as a finger.

As a result, Littlefinger has always believed that he is the best in the world in terms of 'understanding people's hearts', and no one can match it. Neither Varys nor the little devil can compare to him. Until today, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that there might be an opponent that he ignored and underestimated: Cobain.

Of course, he glanced at the Magic Mountain: except for force.

Sometimes a thousand schemes can't add up to a fist. No matter how many strategies you have in your head, the magic mountain only needs one punch.

This is a fundamental difference in the way the two sides solve the problem, and there is no comparison.

Cobain looked at the Magic Mountain, then moved his gaze to Jenny's face, then Littlefinger, Bernie, he knew that if he didn't say it properly, the Magic Mountain would only need a punch......

"I want to try to see if I can control the king, who is still a child despite his unpredictable, cruel and fickle personality. I experimented and I succeeded. I can influence the child king in certain things, so that he will unknowingly do what I want. Lord Magic Mountain's order to enter the knighthood and the order to be appointed is proof of the success of my experiment. Cobain reached out and picked up the 'copy' document, "This is what I drafted, and I wrote it, I was careless, and I didn't guard against the fact that the court director left such a hand, took away the copy I wrote and locked it up." ”

Little Finger tapped lightly on the table: "Master Coben, let Lord Magic Mountain become a duke, equal to the title of Duke Tywin, and hereditary Dragonstone Island, completely independent from the Western Realm, don't you think it will cause irreconcilable contradictions between Duke Tywin and Lord Magic Mountain?"

"Yes!" Cobain said.

"Do you think we can go to war with Duke Tywin now? Kill Tywin and take control of the court by taking control of Joffrey? You are too aggressive, and now is not the right time. ”

"I have to?"

"Why?"

"I was loved by the King, who taught him the art of anatomy, and at the same time a confidant of the Queen Mother, helping her with some of the most difficult troubles, and I was free to come and go in and out of the Maigar Tower, and on the night the Duke of Tywin entered the Red Keep, I heard a few words in the Queen Mother's bedchamber that I should not have heard. ”

"What's that?" Littlefinger smiled and sat up straight. He is relaxed on the outside, but preoccupied on the inside.

"Duke Tywin will send the head of Lord Magic Mountain and Princess Messira to Dorne and hand it over to Prince Dorn Martell in exchange for Dorne's support for the Red Keep's rule. ”

The audience was silent, except for the sound of even breathing.

The Magic Mountain already knew this, and it was for this reason that Janie came to King's Landing. Witch sees this and thinks that the Magic Mountain needs to be reminded and helped, so Janie arrives.

"If Lord Moshan has always been a vassal of Duke Tywin, it will be easy for the Duke to kill Lord Tywin, and Lord Moshan must carry out an order. But if Lord Magic Mountain is on Dragonstone Island, and he is a duke and has his own naval fleet, once Lord Demon Mountain is on guard, Duke Tywin wants to move him...... Then I don't know the last ...... Who killed whom. “

Little Finger's eyes flashed, and he smiled: "Master Coben, let's assume that what you say is true......

"His word is true!" said Janine, "and that's why I came to King's Landing. My maternal grandmother, Witch Queen, was Lord Tywin's military advisor in the Battle of the Riverlands, and she was a wizard with the ability to predict the future. ”

Littlefinger's heart was shocked, and he remembered that the Magic Mountain had come to King's Landing last year, and had taken away a glass bottle of his own blood in the restaurant on Steel Street. He didn't know what it meant at the time, but Varys later told him that there was a kind of wizard called the Blood Witch, who could know some people's secrets through blood. Of course, the real situation is that the magic mountain deliberately used the guise of the blood witch to make the cloth in the magician's hand. He's a traverser, and he's a bull-nosed figure like the Green Prophet.

Littlefinger instantly remembered the handle he had to hand over to the Demon Mountain!

Pinky closed his mouth.

He knew that now was not the time for him to show off his wit.

At today's Royal Council, when Duke Tywin announced that it was time to reconcile with Dorne, the Duke specifically mentioned that 'the Westlanders accidentally killed Princess Elia, the sister of Prince Martell, and her children in the war', and the person who killed Princess Elia and the princess's son was the Magic Mountain, and at that time, Littlefinger sensed that the fate of the Magic Mountain had come to an end.

He thought that after Duke Tywin clicked off the head of the Magic Mountain, his 'Confession of Guilt' in the hands of the Magic Mountain would be over, and he would be free from then on.

Littlefinger looked at it coldly: The Duke doesn't necessarily have to kill the Demon Mountain if he wants to marry Dorne, and one of the reasons why the Duke must kill the Demon Mountain is that the credit of the Demon Mountain is too great. The people and nobles of King's Landing, including hundreds of thousands of refugees, believed that the Magic Mountain was the first to defend King's Landing, and that the credit went to Tywin and the Tyrells.

If the Mountain had captured Stannis and had ended up with Duke Tywin on trial and beheaded, this would not have been the case. This is the conclusion that Littlefinger has come to after much deliberation. The most correct course of action for the Magic Mountain is to defeat Stannis's army, but Stannis himself is best left to Tywin to kill.

And the 'Decree to Enter the Lordship' and the 'Minister of the Sea' issued by Coben to the Magic Mountain actually further strengthened Duke Tywin's determination to kill the Magic Mountain: the Magic Mountain not only has great merit, but also has become stronger, and it is almost completely beyond the control of Duke Tywin.

I wanted to sit and wait for the little finger of the magic mountain to be clicked, but today I understood a very important truth, with Coben, a guy who was born out of thin air, and the magic mountain that was already dead, it is difficult to say whether it will die.

So, if the Magic Mountain won't die, who will?

When Duke Tywin dies, who will have a chance to become the new Prime Minister?

Or who will have the opportunity to gain further control of power? while controlling Joffrey, he will also gain the favor of the Queen Mother, influence the Queen Mother's decisions, and thus exert his own influence on the imperial court.

Who would?

Littlefinger's eyes looked at Cobain.

A cold sweat broke down his spine: he finally understood that a new opponent had arrived, and he was sitting next to him. This is a person who is better at catering to the king and the queen mother than Varys, and he is also a more ruthless person than the little devil, the little devil still has a little 'woman-like kindness and fragility', and the little devil has many weaknesses, such as a prostitute Shae, but this Cobain, where is the weakness?

The Magic Mountain seems to have become a ladder for him to advance his power again: Exorcism Mountain to kill Tywin!

And once the Mountain kills Tywin, the Lannisters will naturally have to get revenge. Will he design for Cersei to kill the Magic Mountain? and make a great achievement? From then on, he will further control the child king, and become the absolute confidant of the Queen Mother?

Littlefinger secretly looked at Coburn, and in his mind he thought about the changes in many things, and deduced all kinds of different results. He decided to officially face this bachelor without a bachelor's necklace from now on.

So, which side should he choose to stand on?

Of course, Littlefinger will only be on his side forever.

End of meeting. After Littlefinger puts on his makeup, go first, because they can't go out on Silk Street at the same time, which will attract attention.

Bernie, Magic Mountain, Jenny, and Cobain are left in the basement.

Cobain said, "My lord, my wife, Littlefinger can never be trusted. ”

"Oh?!" Demon Mountain stared at Cobain.

"As soon as he leaves King's Landing and takes over Harrenhal, he will not return, and the Vale will become his kingdom. ”

"No, it won't. "Littlefinger can get rid of Duke Tywin, but it will always be of use to us, and I've figured out how to deal with him." ”

"If he retreats into the valley and doesn't lead the valley people to swear allegiance, and if he finds an excuse to refuse to pay the taxes, there is really nothing Lord Tywin can do. ”

"Neither the Prime Minister nor the King can do anything, I have. Magic Mountain said lightly, "After I enter Dragonstone Island, I will quickly take control of the valley." "Tomorrow, I'm going to the Crab Claw Peninsula, and Duke Tywin won't touch me until I send Princess Messira to Dorne." In the meantime, you and Bernie have taken control of all changes in King's Landing and are ready to report back to me. ”

"Yes, Lord Moshan. Cobain reached for the copies of the 'Order of Entry' and the 'Order of Appointment' on the table, "This thing is my handwriting, thank you, Lord for helping me take it out." ”

Bernie reached out and pressed the file, staring at Cobain, unrecognizable, not saying a word.

After Cobain leaves, Bernie folds the copy and gives it to Jenny.

"My lord, ma'am, if things change in the future, this is a proof that Cobain interferes in the affairs of the royal family, manipulates King Joffrey, and disturbs the affairs of the state, which can cause him to his disadvantage, even capital crime. ”

Jenny took it and put it away.

There was a sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and the voice of the maid Griselda came: "My lord, Lord Petyr has gone and returned, and asked to come down to see your lordship." ”

"Let him come down. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Littlefinger came back again, sat down, the trademark smile on his face was gone, and Masasei said, "My lord, Madam, Cobain can only be used, not trusted. ”
