Chapter 0181: Joffrey tortures the hounds
"How's the hound?" said Queen Cersei, standing at the head of the hound's bed, and asked Maester Lecius.
"He had minor damage to his internal organs, mainly due to excessive shock. Master Lu Xiu said respectfully, "To put it clearly, he was frightened. ”
The hound who can listen, eat, roll his eyes and think, scolded: "Drafted bachelor, when Lao Tzu gets better, he will cut off a few handfuls of goats and stuff them into your throat, you will definitely regret it, bachelor!"
But it's a pity that the hound couldn't say a word, he couldn't speak, he couldn't eat, and relied on some strange and unpalatable liquid food prepared by the bachelor to supplement the nutrients that his body needed.
"He's really paralyzed by the Magic Mountain!" Joffrey said in a very surprised tone, then the corners of his mouth turned up, and he smiled contemptuously, "I have long seen that Hound is a coward without guts, he usually hides it very well, and hides it from everyone, but I have already seen through his external strength!"
The hound rolled his eyes to look at Prince Joffrey's face and glared at him. All he had to do was glare at Joffrey, and the coward would be scared to shut up. Unfortunately, the hound is not able to do this, his eyes can turn, but his neck cannot move.
Damn Venom!
He's right, he used it to deal with the Demon Mountain, but who knew that the Demon Mountain stabbed the Hound himself with the Hound Dog's sword.
During last night's duel, venom entered the hound's body, quickly paralyzing him.
To the shame of the hound, he had been carried back by the red-robed men last night. His body trembled strangely the whole way, from Ruby Beach to the Count's town dwelling.
Because of the huge size of the Demon Mountain, the hound was afraid that the amount of venom would not be enough, so he used almost all of the venom on the blade of the sword. He used the amount more than ten times at a time.
Then, he was given the rare opportunity to experience the effects of the venom.
The facts proved at least one point: Master Lu Xiu did tell the truth about the efficacy of venom.
The hound is indeed afraid of fire, and he has been overcoming this psychological obstacle for so many years with certain results. On the surface, he reacts to the flames like ordinary people, and his fear is deeply hidden in his heart!
Last night, when the magic mountain threw the torch in front of his face, and the heat of the flame sprayed on his face, his fear erupted like a torrent and could no longer be suppressed. The outburst of fear caused his body to begin to spasm stronger and stronger, which increased the energy of the drug's effect, causing him to be poisoned even more. The deeper the poisoning, the more his body responds, making him more afraid of the flames.
So the hound became a man trembling with fear in front of his majesty the king, his majesty the queen, his royal highness, his majesty the prince, the prime minister, the minister of justice, the guards of the royal guards, the magistrates, and so on, and so on, and dozens of knights, and so on, that he trembled with fear, and trembled so much that his whole body seemed to be dancing.
This is more painful than cutting off his head!
Hounds have strong self-esteem when they shouldn't, and when they should be self-esteem, they often want to throw their self-esteem in the trash.
Take the language of the world that the Magic Mountain has traveled through: the Hound may have a slight split personality!
"Heal him, Bachelor!" said Queen Cersei lightly. Her superior arrogance comes with the indifference of rejecting people thousands of miles away.
"Yes, Your Majesty, rest assured that when our carriage arrives in King's Landing, I promise to give you a healthy Sir Sandor Clegane. ”
Cersei nodded, glancing at the wide-eyed hound, who seemed to be drunk. The Hound and Queen Cersei looked at each other, and he saw the usual indifference in Cersei's eyes, the queen's pride, and a deep disdain for a dog.
The hound's gaze was on Cersei's figure until she left the maester's room.
His head was just facing the gate, and he could see people coming in and out. As for people from other angles, like Joffrey, who was in bed all the time with words in his mouth, he couldn't see it. The hound hated himself for not having a third eye and couldn't stare at Joffrey and shut him up.
Joffrey was very happy to see the hound's immobile appearance, and he smiled and said, "Bachelor, are hounds afraid of fire?"
"I don't know, Your Highness the Prince!"
"I have a way of knowing. Prince Joffrey said with great interest, "Do you want to know?"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, please teach me!" said Master Lu Xiu politely.
"Bring the fire and hold it close to his face, if his eyes are frightened, his expression is so frightened that it is abnormal, then it must be afraid of fire!" Joffrey's eyes shone with excitement, "Bachelor, my dog has been hurt worse than this before, but he was able to knock a guard down with one hand that day. Joffrey's eyes rolled, and his voice revealed the excitement of peeking into the hound's secrets, "I bet he was frightened by the torch that the Magic Mountain threw in front of his face." What kind of person would be so afraid of fire, you say?"
"Shall I grass you!" the hound scolded Joffrey, "I am not afraid of fire at all, you little smashing seed, I am not afraid of anything!"
Master Lu Xiu smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness, a person who has been bitten by a snake will be afraid when he sees a snake, and a person who has been bitten by a dog will be very afraid of a dog. Hehe, it's a mental illness, Your Highness the Prince!"
Joffrey walked to the other side of the bed and looked at the terrible scar on the left side of the hound's face: "I see, maester, the hound's little boy played with fire and lit his bed and burned his face. If you look at the left side of his face, even his ears are burned to the point that there is only a small hole left. Tsk, how ugly would this person be if the other side of his face was burned like this and only one ear hole was left?"
"I can't imagine!" said Master Lu Xiu with a smile.
Lu Xiu saw the green tendons on the hound neck, and his hands and feet were struggling hard, but it was a pity that the amount of venom he used was too much, he was poisoned too deeply, and the situation that he could recover in a few days, the hound might need half a month or more this time.
"Go, Bachelor, light a candle for me at once!" Joffrey ordered Maester Leushy.
"Yes, Your Highness the Prince!"
The hound's throat made a twisted whin, low but clear, and he did make a sound. Was he afraid? Joffrey wanted to look the hound in the eye, but he didn't dare. Not daring to look at each other did not affect Joffrey's experiments with flames. He's a good boy who does it when he thinks about it, and he never drags on his mischief or tortures people!
Master Lu Xiu was in a happy mood and brought the burning red candle.
He was a well-versed in medicine, and he was so knowledgeable that he could see that the hounds were indeed in deep fear, which gave him malicious pleasure.
If it weren't for the magic mountain telling Master Lu Xiu to make sure that the hound came back to life in good health, because he would duel with the hound for the second time, and in the absence of a king and a prime minister, he would burn the hound alive after winning the duel.
If the hound dies before this, the Magic Mountain will burn Lu Xiu to death!
This forced Lu Xiu to cancel his plan to add a chronic poison to the hound's nutritious liquid food, because the magic mountain did not say when to come to the hounds for a second duel, if it took too long, the hounds were killed or disabled by the poison, and the mojo would put this account on the head of Master Lu Xiu.
At that time, the Magic Mountain had assured him that whether it was heaven or earth, the Magic Mountain would find Lu Xiu, and if the Hound was still alive but could no longer fight, and was not strong enough to live, then the Demon Mountain's burning of the Bachelor to death was only the lightest of all the methods that the Magic Mountain tortured the Bachelor.
Master Lu Xiu ethically complied with his promise to the Magic Mountain, but this did not affect him from assisting Joffrey in conducting a fire test on the hounds.
Joffrey drips the burning red candle on the left side of the hound's face, and he avoids the hound's gaze: "Bachelor, look at the hound's eyes, are they full of fear of flames?"
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince, the hound, is afraid of fire, very afraid of fire, he is about to faint, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Bachelor Lu Xiu's tone was nervous, but his heart was extremely happy, "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't dare to look at you, come and see, Sir can't stand it."
"I don't look. Joffrey was full of excitement and trembling with joy, "As soon as I saw the hound glaring at me, I wanted to prick it with a needle, but my mother wouldn't allow it."
ps: Don't scold and don't abandon the book when you see the hound suffering, the ice and fire story is used to routines and reversals. There are already cases in the 'Mistress' chapter in the front, believe the author, and there are easter eggs in the back.
