Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lake of God's Eyes and Music

South of Harrenhal, God's Eye Lake.

According to the history books, during the War of the Dance of the Dragons, the two most powerful dragons of the time, Waghar and Koraksue, and their riders, Prince Emond and Prince Daemon, fought in the sky above the Lake of the Divine Eye, and finally died together, and both the dragon and the man fell into the Lake of the Divine Eye.

But none of this mattered, the Targaryens, known as the true dragons, fell into decline due to their madness, and were finally completely overthrown by the late King Robert.

The Targaryen family, which is of the same origin as blood and fire, has disappeared at this time, but the Lake of God's Eye is the same as the eye of God, unchanged for eternity.

Night was already falling.

The flag of the golden lion fluttered in the wind, and the flagpole was deeply embedded in the muddy ground.

The Lannister army camp near Lake of God's Eye stretches for miles.

The camp stretched into the distance, smoke rising from hundreds of campfires like slender fingers, and heavily armed soldiers sat on the ground sharpening their weapons.

Sharpened wooden stakes lined up the fortifications, and spearmen and archers patrolled back and forth.

"Look, there's someone up ahead!"

"It seems to be Lord Clegane, whose horse, I remember, is the tallest and biggest horse I have ever seen. ”

"How so?"

Seeing the horse coming from a distance, Clegan was crouched on the horse's back, half of his body was already red with blood, and the man seemed to have fainted.

"It's really Lord Clegane," shouted the patrolling soldier, and quickly rushed out, "Come on, come on!"

......

As soon as Gregor Clegane opened his eyes, he saw Duke Tywin in the dim light.

"How did you get hurt so badly?"

The old lion, Tywin Lannister, thought that there were few things to surprise him anymore, but when he saw the bloodied Gregor, he couldn't help but exclaim again.

He had never seen Gregor so embarrassed.

Even Gregor hadn't been so embarrassed when he stormed King's Landing and slaughtered the last of the Targaryens.

"It's a minor injury, it's not in the way. Gregor Clegane struggled to his feet.

"You don't move, rest well, even the strongest warrior can die from such a small wound. I've dealt with it for you with boiling wine. "The Lannisters have a long history, and even the little details, they have documented and dealt with them.

"Thank you, my lord, Clegane will always be the most loyal dog of the Lannisters, just as my ancestors were. "The first knight of House Clegane was the Lannister dog trainer, and their banner was three black dogs.

"I have never doubted your loyalty," said Duke Tywin solemnly, "but I don't understand who can wound you so badly, and your cavalry?"

Gregor Clegane closed his eyes, and he thought of the black-armored knight, who had forced himself so badly, and who had destroyed his own cavalry.

"Killed by a man," his voice was extremely hoarse at this time, like grinding out of gears, "that person was wearing black armor, the black armor was very thick, I cut a lot of swords without cutting it, the northern cavalry he led defeated my cavalry team, and there were still a few guards who broke out with me, but the northern cavalry bit too hard, and several of them were seriously injured and died." ”

"Are you sure it's the cavalry from the North?" asked Tywin, confused.

"Yes, I'm sure. ”

"So, have the Freys joined forces with Stark? Before you, the Bamvert family's 800 cavalry were also wiped out, and only Eddie Bamvert escaped. ”

Clegan didn't speak, he didn't care who the Frey family was uniting with or something, the only thing he cared about was defeating the enemy and killing the enemy.

Of course, if he were careful, he would have found that Jones had come up along the Blue Fork, which just showed that the Freys were not united with Stark.

"Who is that black-armored knight?"

"I don't know, I've never heard of it, he fought with me for a long time, and he still didn't look tired. Kerrigan gritted his teeth, "I wonder if he's wearing magical armor." ”

"Magic?" Duke Tywin said coldly after pondering for a moment, "in that case, then use magic against him, the Lannisters will have debts that must be repaid, and revenge must be avenged." ”

With that, Tywin Lannister walked out with his hands behind his back.

In the distance came a soft chanting,

"In the night, I conquered you;

Oh, you, Casterme;

You are the yellow lion, I am the red lion;

You have claws, and I have them;

My claws are longer, my claws are sharper;

Master Casterme once said that;

But now the rain wept in his hall, and there was no one in it;

Yes, now the rain wept in his hall, but there was no soul in it.

......”

Riverrun, at this time, is very lively.

The Tully family held a grand dinner to entertain the guests who had come from afar.

Unfortunately, there was no music to cheer up, and it is said that the girl whom Edmure Tully once liked was slept with by a singer who called himself 'Seven String Tom', and not only that, but the singer even made up a nasty tune to mock Edmure.

Since then, Edmure has hated the profession of singer, and singers are no longer allowed in Riverrun.

"I'm Lynman Dare, and some time ago the 'Magic Mountain' ambushed and killed my father in Xizitan. The current Lord of Daree, Lynman Dare, said sincerely to Jones, "Since you have defeated the Demon Mountain, then you are my friend. ”

Jones looked at the young man with black curly hair in front of him, and replied seriously, "It's my honor to be a friend of Earl Darey!"

"What earl, just call me Linman, come, drink. Without waiting for Jones to make a move, Lynman Dary took the lead in pouring a large glass of ale.

Jones, on the other hand, is still a shallow taste, probably because he is not exactly a man of this world, he is always insecure, so he does not let himself get drunk.

And even at the moment of the dinner party, he still insisted on not taking off the armor on his body, but just went to the helmet.

Edmure didn't force him to take it off, and he was allowed to carry a weapon. Great warriors always have their own fetishes, although Jones is still far from being great warriors right now.

The Earl of Hook-nosed Blackwood also said to Jones, "You will be our friend of Blackwood too." ”

"My pleasure!"

"I'm furious at what the Frey family is doing after hearing the details tell you," said Edmure Tully angrily, "My father called him 'Marquis Frey the Late,' and I promise that he will be changed to 'Marquis Frey the Beheaded' when I defeat the Lannisters." ”

"I'm looking forward to that day as soon as possible. ”

......

Jones was talking politely with Edmure and the Earl of Riverlands, while Percy, Rhoner, and Carter had drunk with the knights of Riverlands, and Percy boasted of their thrills, bravery, and wisdom in his huge voice. Speaking of excitement, there was another slap on the table.

The bald Earl of Brecon was furious to see that the guy who had offended him was still so proud, and their leader, Jones, was still talking and laughing with Blackwood, which made him even more angry.

"Since Lord Jones claims to have defeated the 'Magic Mountain', then our knights of the Riverlands want to challenge you, and Lord Jones will not refuse, right?" Earl Brecon suddenly said loudly.

"It's a tie," Jones repeated, "Of course the Earl of Brecon wants to fight, but I don't know who wants to challenge me?"

"It's not me, but Lord Jones, who defeated the 'Magic Mountain', is still cowardly?" said the Bald Earl deliberately.

It seems that this earl is eyeing himself, and since the result is still to fight, Jones also bluntly agreed, "It's natural to fight." However, one scholar once said that a fight is meaningless if there is no reward. I wonder what kind of reward the Earl can come up with?"
