Chapter 0880: Little Devil: I don't believe in my words, but I never feel guilty
The flames and black smoke of the Iron Vault Island soared into the sky, and the people of Braavos could see it.
The sound of houses and towers collapsing was earth-shattering.
Everywhere Long Yan went, the voices of the soldiers and the people screaming and wailing also spread far away.
Braavos' highest peak, the Titan Titan of the Protective Portal, stood in a dense crowd of people on the Titan's shoulders, eyes, soles of feet, and girdles. Everyone looked in the direction of the Iron Vault Island, and everyone was frightened and silent. People standing on the shoulders of giants, palms, eye windows, mountain side caves, and other high places, they can see the shadow of the dragon flying.
*
In a stone house on an island, the little devil looked out of the window and saw smoke and terrible fires in the distance.
The Iron Vault Island was in flames, the people were screaming, and everyone on the nearby island was in danger, and no one rushed to help.
In another window, Jaime Lannister was also watching the dragon Yan wreaking havoc on the Iron Vault, his face turning cold and hard.
Jaime was supposed to take the fake Cersei with Tomman and Messella to the city-state of Reesβthe first stop the Mountain asked him to go toβbut he was persuaded by the Three-Eyed Raven to go north and join Bran Stark, the owner of the Three-Eyed Raven, and arrive in Braavos.
The Lannisters, Bran, the Burton family, the Sand Serpent from Dorne β four forces representing one side form a simple and fragile alliance.
Jaime Lannister, who represents the power of the West. As long as they can fight back, Jaime will still be the Lord of the West. The Bolton represent the power of the North, and when the Faceless Ones killed the naval counter-attack on Westeros in Braavos, the Bolton represented the future lords of the North, and Bran promised that the Bolton would replace the Starks as the guardians of the North. As for the two sand snakes, of course, they represent the Dorne forces that oppose the Magic Mountain.
The future plans for West, North, Dorne plus Braavos, and Green Prophet Bran look like a lot of the same thing. - Although these people were already defeated, Jaime still spared him and gave him, Tomman, and Messira a way out.
But in Jaime's heart, he could never forget that the Magic Mountain was the great enemy who killed Tywin Lannister. So when the Three-Eyed Raven landed on Jaime's longship, it didn't take much to say that Jaime chose to side with Bran, and was full of longing for the future because of the guidance of a Green Prophet.
But when the dragon suddenly arrived, and when Jaime witnessed the dragon Yan burn down the towers and fortresses of the Iron Vault, Jaime Lannister's hopes were dashed.
Jaime had been dead when Arya Stark had captured Bran and dismissed the Bolton family and the Dorne Serpent a few days earlier, but Bran was soon able to get out safely, giving Jaime confidence in the mysterious power of the Green Prophet until the dragon's dragon groans shrieked over Braavos......
The sound of a dragon moaning through time and space rang like a giant bell in Jaime's heart, completely destroying Jaime's self-deluding illusions, and bringing him back to reality and sanity, no longer harboring unrealistic illusions about the bright future depicted by the Green Prophet Bran......
In the middle of the house, Bran Stark still had the same expression, staring at a certain part of the ceiling as if nothing had happened.
Jaime looked back at Bran, "Bran, the Magic Mountain is destroying the Iron Vault. β
Bran said lightly, "I saw everything that was happening. β
"Didn't you anticipate today?" said Jaime's voice.
Bran once said that the world is a fragment of time for him, whether it is the past, the present and the future, he can know it well.
It was because of this 'know-how' that James, a never-God-believing fellow, believed in a prophet.
Bran said calmly, "James, there are always exceptions. β
"The gods have their naps, James, you can't expect the Green Prophet to foresee everything, he's a prophet, not a god. The little devil's voice sounded with a mocking tone, the little devil had no reverence for Bran, from the moment Bran desecrated the power of the guests in the Dragonstone Island pit to kill the demon mountain, the little devil stayed away from Bran, "Bran, the three major forces of Braavos, the Black and White House is now owned by Arya Stark, the iron vault has been completely destroyed by the Demon Mountain, and the Sea King of the Sea King's Palace has not seen him organize a land mercenary group so far, and in the river, we can't see the Sea King's naval fleet in action." The Demon Mountain you want to kill is here, what means can you use to kill him?"
"I can't kill the Magic Mountain. Bran said lightly.
"Can't kill the Magic Mountain?" Jaime's voice rang out sharply. He was willing to follow Bran because Bran promised to kill the Magic Mountain.
"Yes, I can't kill the Demon Mountain. Bran said indifferently.
"You once told me that you have a way to get the support of the Iron Vault, and then get the gold in the Iron Vault, and use the gold to invite the Faceless to kill the Demon Mountain. β
"I said it. β
"But now you're saying you can't actually kill the Magic Mountain?"
"I can't kill the Magic Mountain. β
"You're deliberately playing tricks on us?"
Bran turned his wheelchair and faced Jaime head-on: "There are some things that can't be done, but there are still many people who must do them. β
Jaime smiled: "Bran, you united me, the Bolton family, and the Sand Snake to form an alliance to counterattack Westeros, but in fact, you know that this alliance will end in failure?"
"If you don't give it a try, how can you know that you will fail?" said Bran calmly.
Jaime's eyes as he stared at Bran changed from coldness to self-deprecation, "Well, prophet, you're like a god I've never seen before, and the will of a god is not something mortals can understand and touch. Jaime looked at the little devil, "Tyrion, you knelt down in front of the Demon Mountain and swore an oath of service, and it may be time for you to officially return today." β
The little devil's head poked out of the window, and he saw the twelve swordsmen of the Sea King guarding under the stone tower. This is the guard that Aquaman has given to Bran.
The little devil said, "Bran, the Aquaman's guards are already very restless, walking around under the tower, they are arguing about something. β
"Aquaman's Aquaman's palace has been sacked by the Magic Mountain, and the Ian mercenary group that the Aquaman relied on has defected and sworn allegiance to the Magic Mountain. β
Bran's words stunned both James and the little devil.
"The Magic Mountain has ransacked the Sea King's Palace?" Jaime's voice changed.
"Yes, the sacking of the Sea King's Palace took place before the burning of the Iron Vault Island. β
"Aquaman has been killed by the Demon Mountain?" said the little demon in surprise.
"Aquaman came out through the underground tunnel, and arrived at the naval port in a colorful boat. β
"Braavos' navy is a pile of tarpaulins doused with fire oil. Jaime said coldly, his face pale.
Bran was expressionless, and the little devil shrugged his shoulders.
Jaime gave Bran a deep look, he hugged the little devil with one arm in his left hand, let go, and finally took a deep look at the little devil, without saying a word, turned around and strode out.
"Jaime, even if you stay, the Magic Mountain will probably not kill you. Bran Stark said lightly.
"I won't meet the Magic Mountain again. Jaime said without looking back.
The little demon Tyrion stood at the window, watching Jaime appear under the tower, watching Jaime walk into the small tower opposite, and soon, Jaime appeared in the courtyard with Cersei's former maids, Tommen Lannister, and Messira Lannister, and the four of them walked through the courtyard and hurried out.
The twelve swordsmen of the Sea King under the tower watched the whole process, and no one came forward to stop them.
They were commanded to protect the Prophet, and nothing else had anything to do with them.
The little devil's gaze kept looking at the gate, at the place where James, Tomman, and Messella had disappeared. Both Tomman and Messira looked up at the little devil standing at the window as they walked out the door, and the little devil raised his hand to Tomman and Messira, revealing his extremely ugly smile. When Tomman and the others disappeared completely, the little devil's lips suddenly turned bitter at that moment. The bitter taste spreads faintly in the mouth, and there has never been such a faint bitter sensation before.
"Bran, Jaime is gone. β
Bran's gaze returned to somewhere in the ceiling, as if the little devil didn't exist at all.
"Will it be safe for them to make this trip?"
Bran still didn't answer. His gaze was focused on something, as if he was looking at something intently?
"Bran, I wish that at the beginning of Aegon Arc 298, Jaime didn't break your legs, but your neck, when he pushed you off the wreckage. β
"Then pull out your dagger. Bran's voice was calm and calm.
"I'm not going to kill you. You can escape with the help of Aquaman's swordsman, or you can fall down the stairs and break your neck yourself. Well, okay, that's it, I'm leaving you. Goodbye, Bran Stark. β
"Tyrion, you promised me. β
Tyrion paused, "What did I promise you?"
"You promised me that I would end my life when I needed it. β
"I did. β
"Let's do it, now is the time. β
"I promised to kill you at the last moment and not let you fall into the hands of the Magic Mountain, but I have changed my mind now, this is my choice and my freedom. I'm a little devil, and what I say doesn't count at any time. I'm a little man of my word, and I'm never guilty about that. β
"Tyrion, you help me, and I'll tell you a secret. β
"Keep your secrets, Prophet. Tyrion smiled and walked out without looking back. Soon, the sound of him coming downstairs became softer and farther away, and finally disappeared completely.
A black, three-eyed raven flew back from outside and landed on Bran's shoulder. The black eye in the middle of the crow's head twitched, as if it was interested in everything in the room.
*
On the towers of the Black and White Temple, on the roofs and balconies of many houses, and outside the square, there were monks, believers, servants, and faceless people standing in the Black and White Temple. They all looked in the direction of the iron vault, their expressions calm. Everyone in the House of Black and White knew that Elder Arya Stark was the one who rejected the Iron Vault and the Prophet's Contract, and she explicitly refused to allow the Faceless to assassinate the Demon Mountain. When acting as a normal person in the outside world, Arya Stark is the personal guard of the Magic Mountain.
The Magic Mountain is coming!
The dragon is coming, too!
The Sea King's Palace has been sacked by the Magic Mountain, and the Ian mercenary group who took the money to work for the Sea King has all defected to the Magic Mountain. In a short period of time, the Magic Mountain has slaughtered from the Sea King's Palace to the Iron Vault Island, and is burning all the people and buildings on the island.
This is a rare catastrophe in Braavos!
The root of it all stems from the Iron Vault and Aquaman's support for the Green Prophet to hire the Faceless One to assassinate the Demon Mountain.
His Majesty the King of Westeros, the Magic Mountain, turned out to be a Green Prophet. He learns all the secrets that happened in Braavos: the Iron Vault, the Green Prophet, the Neptune's Palace, and the Black and White Courtyard.
He saw through the dark outpost that had been placed in the Old Town for more than 600 years, the Weatpen Wine Decanter, and captured the Faceless of the Weatpen Wine Bottle and the Faceless Man who went to the Old Town to steal the Dragon Crystal Candle. But the Magic Mountain did not punish the Faceless and the Black and White Court for this. The personal guard who goes to the Old Town with the Magic Mountain to arrest people is none other genius Faceless Personless Elle Stark of the Black and White Courtyard.
Together with Arya Stark, the Magic Mountain sent the priceless Dragon Crystal Candle, which was regarded as a sacred relic in the Black and White Courtyard, to the Black and White Courtyard for free, and finally lit it in the candle tray in front of the statue of the Thousand Faces God.
This gift of incalculable value caused the seven elders of the Black and White Courtyard to terminate the contract to assassinate the Demon Mountain, but it also caused the seven elders to lose their breath on the same night.
The name is out, and death comes.
Withdrawal from the treaty, which has never been done in the millennium of the Black and White Academy.
This is the first time, but it is clear that the price to pay is also huge and high. - The Black and White House paid for the lives of the seven elders!
When Arya Stark was miraculously chosen to become the Elder of the Mandate of Heaven in the House of Black and White, Arya soon ended her contract with the Prophet and captured Bran Stark on behalf of the House of Elders with the highest authority of the Elders. Perhaps the cost of the loss of life by the Seven Elders has compensated for the backlash of the default, and Arya, the Elder of the Mandate of Heaven, has not encountered any mishaps due to the withdrawal of the contract and the arrest of the employer.
When the people of the Black and White Courtyard were still worried about how to get along with the Iron Vault and the Sea King's Palace in the future, the Demon Mountain suddenly appeared with a dragon, he first ransacked the Sea King's Palace, and then attacked the Iron Vault, and Braavos's mercenary army was as if it did not exist, and there was no mercenary army to support the Iron Vault Island.
Braavos' three major forces: the Sea King's Palace, the Iron Vault, and the Black and White Courtyard.
The Neptune's palace was sacked, and the Aquaman fled to the naval fleet, and the iron vault was burned down, and no one dared to rescue him. The black and white courtyard, which was friendly with the magic mountain, became a bystander.
Arya Stark stood at the top of the Elder's Tower and watched the flames of the Iron Vault, and the little charm beside her whispered, "Elder, maybe we should step in to stop the Magic Mountain. β
Arya looked back at Charm.
"The culprit of the assassination of the Magic Mountain is the Green Prophet, and it has nothing to do with the soldiers and people on the island. β
The long-faced senior sister next to her also said, "Elder, if we don't come forward to stop the burning of the Demon Mountain, the credibility and authority of the Black and White Court will be seriously damaged among the believers. β
"Okay, Senior Sister, gather twenty of the best Faceless Ones at once, and let's go to Iron Vault Island. β
"Yes, Elder. β
