Magic Mountain sat on a tall rough wooden chair and looked at the Quells nobles who entered the hall, this group of people was not many, and there were not many, the number was twenty-three in total.

In the petition corridor, there were hundreds of followers of these twenty-three people, so naturally the king's petition corridor seemed to be crowded.

Demon Mountain stared at this group of people condescendingly, without saying a word.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly oppressive and heavy.

The twenty-three nobles exchanged glances with each other, and some of them could not hide their fear.

"If you don't speak, I'll drive you all out. Magic Mountain said lightly.

Today's council hall is not only the king and queen, but also Arya Stark, Jon Targaryen, Daenerys Targaryen, and Quishi in a wooden lacquer mask. In addition, there are the generals of the guard.

Except for the queen, the rest of the people are all courtiers of the Demon Mountain.

As soon as the magic mountain spoke, it was to tell the cowering Quells nobles who came to petition to get out, if none of them dared to stand up and petition first.

When there are many people, there will indeed be the psychology of letting others speak first, and this psychology comes from a sense of security. People who hide behind others and don't come out will feel safer.

The nobles of Quells were not without guts, but as soon as they approached the Magic Mountain closely, the oppression of the Magic Mountain's humanoid beasts surged. The sudden destruction of the Demon Mountain and the decisive killing of the Immortal Temple left an indelible and shocking impact on the hearts of the Quellsians.

"Your Majesty!" a gentle-looking nobleman stepped forward, "I am Landon Carroll, King Horn's Imperial Minister, in charge of Quells's affairs, and I will preside over the council in the King's absence. ”

"Oh!" Moshan replied lightly.

"Has Your Majesty ever seen such a jade griffon?" Langdon Carroll held an object in his hand, covered with splendid embroidery. He lifted the brocade to reveal a translucent white jade griffon.

A griffin carved from a complete piece of white jade is lifelike and priceless.

"Hmm!" Demon Mountain snorted.

After the Magic Mountain took Quells City, the wealth it had was already the first in the world, and no one could compare it. The iron vaults of Braavos were no less rich than the royal family of Quells. With the Iron Treasury and the royal wealth of Quells, the Magic Mountain could easily raise an army twice as large as it is now.

But such a beautiful pure jade griffin, this is the first time I have seen it in the Magic Mountain.

But the wealth of gold, jade and jewelry can no longer arouse any interest in the Magic Mountain, and people will only be interested in what they lack something.

"Your Majesty, the Jade Griffin is priceless, and such a valuable thing is not mine. Landon Carroll squeezed his mouth shut.

But Moshan didn't ask who it was as he thought, Moshan just looked at him, didn't speak, and looked cold.

Landon Carroll probably didn't expect the King to be so cold to his subject, and there was an awkward silence in the hall for a few heartbeats, and Landon Carroll said, "Your Majesty, this is a royal treasure that Queen Horn gave me yesterday. ”

Magic Mountain looked at Langdon Carroll with a blank face, he didn't even bother to say oh and uh.

The treasures of the royal family, so what, it seems that His Majesty the King is simply indifferent.

Anger swelled up in Langdon Carroll's heart, and the king's coldness was actually a kind of arrogance, a kind of contempt, a kind of humiliation.

"Your Majesty, Queen Horn yesterday presented us courtiers with a large number of royal treasures. Langdon Carroll waved her hand back, including the rest of the twenty-two colleagues, "Why did she give us the royal treasures so suddenly, and told the servants to pack their clothes, saying that they were going to go on a trip?" ”

Magic Mountain looked at Landon Carroll, still indifferent.

Of course, he knew why 'Queen Horn' would suddenly give some of the royal family's treasures to the Quells courtiers, and he also knew why 'Queen Horn' would say that she was going to travel, because he caused all these changes. He asked 'Queen Horn' to take her three children to Westeros, and it was as simple as that.

Quells can no longer have the blood of King Horn of the past. Quells has started anew, and the Horn family of the past has become history through and through.

"Your Majesty, may I ask you why Queen Horn would pack her things and go on a trip so suddenly? Well, I can accept a trip, but a person who travels normally would not give us a large amount of treasures treasured at home, isn't it?"

Magic Mountain snorted: "Landon Carroll, what title are you?"

"Duke, Your Majesty. ”

"Lord Duke, what do you mean by saying this to me?" Demon Mountain's words were very light, but they were obviously threatening. His eyes also became sharp, and his expression was even more indifferent as ice.

"Your Majesty, we have come to petition ......"

"What do you want?" said Demon Mountain dismissively.

His unprecedented arrogance stung Duke Langdon's dignity, and Langdon was soft on the outside and rigid on the inside: "Your Majesty, are you going to execute Queen Horn and the prince and princess?!" Landon Carroll's fear magically disappeared, and he stepped forward. Question the Magic Mountain.

The atmosphere in the hall was suddenly filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Today all the big shots and the guards are there: Jorah Mormont, Greyworm, Hero, Missannelo, five Kao.

All five of Kao were savages and brave men, and all five stepped forward and pressed the hilt of the scimitar with their hands. It only takes one glance from the Magic Mountain, and five scimitars come out together, and Lord Landon Carroll will be cut into several pieces.

The petition was abruptly crowded to such an extent that Landon Carroll seemed to have come with a determination to die. Demon Mountain's gaze swept over the other nobles, and one of the nobles and Demon Mountain's eyes touched, and almost fell, relying on the nobles around him to reach out and hold on to it.

More of the nobles were pale, and there was obvious fear in their eyes.

Speaking of which, Duke Langdon Carroll actually had no way out, and the gaze of the Magic Mountain returned to his face, and Landon Carroll was not afraid, puffing up his chest and meeting the terrifying gaze of the Magic Mountain, although there was already a cold sweat on his back.

Demon Mountain's fierce eyes softened instead, and he chuckled lightly, as if a tiger had eaten enough and bared his teeth: "Lord Landon Carroll, do you suspect that I am going to execute Queen Horn and two princes and one princess, have you obtained definite evidence, or have you listened to rumors, or are you speculating and imagining out of thin air?"

Queen Jane smiled and said, "Lord Lord Langdon Carroll, you are the Prime Minister of King Horn, I believe in your fairness and integrity, please show evidence that the King wants to kill Lady Horn and her children." ”

Duke Landon Carroll is suffocated!

Evidence?

He didn't!

None of the twenty-two nobles who came with him!

"No evidence?" Magic Mountain said lightly, "That is, I have listened to the rumors, Lord Landon Carroll, if you name the person who spread the rumors, I will take your life." ”

Landon Carroll was momentarily speechless.

"It turned out to be your speculation and imagination. "Lord Landon Carroll, you were also the prime minister of King Horn, but you did ridiculous things that flouted royal power and laws, fabricated lies out of thin air, and gathered everyone to come to the royal hall to ask about things that came out of nowhere, I will punish you severely, do you choose to be burned to death by Long Yan or hanged?"

“...... Your Majesty, you have broken your oath to enter the city by suddenly slaughtering the Regretful Guest for no reason, burning down the Scorpion Tail Castle, attacking the Temple of Immortality at night, and killing Master Boli and Lord Haji Moor...... Yesterday, the good Queen Horn suddenly had a move to scatter her family wealth, and also had a plan to leave the palace, this change made me have to suspect that the king had murderous intentions against Queen Horn and the two princes and a princess...... This is not my imagination and speculation, this is the truth of your sin, please swear to the gods, you have no plan to kill Queen Horn and the prince and princess, do you dare to swear?

The Magic Mountain did not believe in the Red God, but he supported Quixi's construction of the Red Temple on the site of the Immortal Temple, which caused the Quells to misunderstand that His Majesty the new King believed in the Red God.

Instead of answering Landon Carroll's question, the mountain looked at the remaining twenty-two courtiers, his gaze slowly swept over each of them, and the twenty-two courtiers all lowered their eyes, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Are you all in the same mind as Lord Landon Carroll?" asked Moshan lightly. The words were full of terrible threats.

"I'm not, Your Majesty. The nobleman, who had almost fallen down because of his weak legs, threw himself down on his knees, "Your Majesty, I'm here to offer treasures." Queen Horn has given me a carving of a dragon, a golden dragon carved from the finest piece of gold wood, which I have brought with me to present to His Majesty. ”

"Oh. The Magic Mountain looked at the little Marquis of Piert Crega, and Piert stepped forward, took a rattan box from the nobleman's hand, and placed it on the table in front of the king.

"It smells so good. Arrene Martell laughed. Her straight nose sniffed hard in the air several times.

"What a pleasant aroma indeed!" Daenerys smiled. They all thought they had insight into the King's "little tricks" in the face of the Duke of Langdon.

The magic mountain opened the rattan box, a refreshing aroma wafted out, in the rattan box, is a beautiful golden dragon, inlaid with a lot of shining gold and jade of the same size for the dragon's scale armor. And the eyes of the dragon are a pair of priceless rubies. The dragon horns are two transparent green jadeites.

Queen Janine let out an exclamation.

She had never seen such a wonderful carved work of art.

This is the masterpiece of Kagura Farai, a famous master carver from the East. This golden wood with a strange fragrance alone is hard to find.

"What's your name?" Moshan asked the nobleman kneeling in front of him.

"Your Majesty, Great King, I am Beria Cardoso. ”

"Knighthood?"

"Earl, Your Majesty the King. ”

"What position have you held in the palace?"

"Taxes, Your Majesty. ”

"Lord Count Belia Cardoso, would you like to swear to the Red God Rahlo in the presence of the High Priest of Quix, and ask the Red God Rahlo to bear witness to your oath of allegiance to me?"

"I can't wait!"

"Well, I want you to swear allegiance to me in the glory of the family, in the name of the Red God Rahlo, and in your life, that you and the Cardoso family will be loyal to His Majesty King Gregor Clegan and the Clegane family, and will never betray you. ”

"Your Majesty, Great and Invincible King, you can give me and my family a chance to pledge allegiance to you, and I and my family will be grateful to you to the death. This is also a great gift from the gods to me and my family. ”

Jon Targaryen frowned at this. Beria Cardoso's words made him uncomfortable, and he did not want to believe that there could be such a dishonorable, cowardly and brazen person in the world.

And this guy looks like he's going to be his colleague soon.

Quixi stood up and walked up to Count Beria Cardoso: "The night is long, and everywhere is sinister, but the red god is the only true god. Lord Count Belia Cardoso, solemnly swear to His Majesty the King that if he breaks his oath, the Red God Rahlo will descend on the souls of all the Cardoso family to eternal punishment of hell. ”

"Yes, High Priest of Quix, and all the lords and soldiers in the hall bear witness that I, Count Beria Cardoso of Quells, hereby swear to His Majesty King Gregor Clegane, that I swear in the name of the red god Lachlo, with my own life, and by the glory of the House of Cardoso, that the body, mind, and soul of the House of Belia and the Cardoso are loyal to His Majesty King Gregor Clegon and the House of Clegon in the name of the Red God, and that they will never betray, whether the sun rises or the sea dries up. ”

The high priest of Quish uttered a long prayer in the language of Asha, which was incomprehensible to all, and then a flame erupted from the fingers of his right hand, and the flames burned a circular mark on Beria Cardoso's right hand.

Then, Kui Xi took a step back and nodded to the Demon Mountain, signaling the oath ceremony to end.

Magic Mountain's gaze at Belia Cardoso softened: "Please get up, Lord Count Belia Cardoso, worthy of respect, I now formally invite you to be Quells's Minister of Taxes, in charge of all Quells's taxes, I hope you will work hard to share my worries." ”

"The minister has done his best to manage the taxes of Quells for His Majesty. Beria Cardoso knelt on the ground and slammed his right fist into his left chest.

"Stand up, my loyal Minister of Revenue. Magic Mountain smiled and was amiable.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Beria Cardoso stood up and sided with the courtiers. However, he was self-conscious, and stood at the end of the line, far away from the five Kao.

Moshan looked at the other twenty-one nobles: "Who else is going to swear allegiance to me?"

This time, all twenty-one nobles knelt down.

Moshan asked them for their names and positions, and after they swore allegiance under the witness of the clear, they were assigned some inconsequential positions.

Of the twenty-two nobles who knelt, the Magic Mountain only reused the most daring of them, Lord Count Beria Cardoso.

Finally, the Magic Mountain looked at Duke Landon Carroll: "Lord Lord Landon Carroll, you have made something out of nothing, spread rumors and slander, despise royal power, and have no fear of the law, do you choose to be beheaded, burned, or hanged?"

"Your Majesty, do you dare to swear in the name of the Red God that you have no plan to kill Queen Horn and the prince and princess?"
