After passing through three iron fences, the passage in front of it suddenly opens up, facing a castle-like oak door with black iron trim.

The heavy oak door was slowly pushed open, and everyone's eyes were greeted by an array of one-man-high squares made of gold piles one after another, like a neat procession of soldiers.

Standing at the gate, you can't see the end of this golden phalanx queue at a glance.

Everyone was shocked by the scene in front of them!

This is the strength of the Iron Vault, which can buy the wealth of the next world.

The richest family in Westeros is the Lannister, and the place where the most gold is stored in the world is the Iron Vault.

"Your Majesty, there is a jewel room in the back. The owner of the key to the iron vault who brought everyone in said.

His eyes were calm and his tone was tired.

It was clear that he was not surprised by the wealth in front of him, and even a little numb.

The blood on his head had stopped, and the blurred right half of his face still looked terrifying.

But his own emotions have eased, and his fear of the Magic Mountain is becoming lighter. Perhaps he thought he was going to die, struggling hopelessly, but instead gained the strength of calm in his heart.

"I won't go to the jewelry room. Magic Mountain said.

Proving with your own eyes that the gold reserves in the iron vault are sufficient.

Wealth has lost the meaning of worldly purchasing power for the Magic Mountain, and the symbolic meaning is greater than the reality.

The most important thing is that Magic Mountain needs the gold reserves of the Iron Vault to support his paper money program and the expansion of the Clegane Bank around the world. And gold itself, for the Magic Mountain, has a practical role that gives way to symbolic power.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The tone of the key holder became a little indifferent. He knew he was going to face death in the next moment. For the brutal Demon Mountain, his role has been lost.

Perhaps the manager of the Iron Vault was too confident in his defenses, and the passage of the storehouse where the gold was stored did not have a single mechanism, nor did there be a powerful killer or soldier in ambush.

After opening the door of the iron vault, the road is unimpeded.

There is no danger!

"What's your name. ”

"My name doesn't matter anymore, Your Majesty. The key holder said lightly, "Go ahead, cut off my head, or take me out and let the dragon burn me to ashes." ”

The magic mountain stared at the key holder, the other party was not afraid of death, and he was not used to seeing gold and jewelry. It seems that such a person can stay and take care of this gold reserve for him. Would anyone else be able to face all this gold and a special jewelry pantry without being moved?

I'm afraid it's hard to do!

There aren't many people that Magic Mountain can trust for sure right now.

Daenerys is one, Arya Stark is one, and Ian can count as one, but the other centurions under Ian and soldiers of different ethnic identities from all over the world are not known to the Magic Mountain.

"What's your name?" asked the key holder again.

"My name is Atwood. The key holder said.

"You're a member of the Iron Vault family?"

"Yes, I am!"

"If you don't want to die, if you want to live peacefully until you are eighty years old, and finally die in a warm bed, I will consider giving you a chance. ”

Atwood had already taken life and death lightly and put it aside, but he never imagined that he would have a chance to live.

Atwood looked at the Magic Mountain, his eyes clearly disbelieving.

Ian, Daenerys and the others all looked strange.

What's wrong with Your Majesty, using the enemy to manage such a huge fortune?

Daenerys didn't understand that the people in the Magic Mountain who killed the military fortress were not merciless.

"Your Majesty, perhaps this will be a mistake. Ian said.

As a newcomer who has newly pledged allegiance to the Magic Mountain, Ian is also a person who dares to speak.

"Your Majesty, the Iron Vault can no longer be handed over to the people of the Iron Vault family. Daenerys made it clear.

Magic Mountain nodded, in response to Ian and Daenerys' suggestion, indicating that he heard. He doesn't plan to change his mind, though. The Keyholder has been guarding this gold reserve for many years, and should be immune to the temptation of gold riches. As long as he is not an Iron Vault Killer and does not possess the skills of the Faceless One, he will not pose any threat to the Demon Mountain. Even if he had the intention to take some of these gold reserves and jewels, how much gold could he take away by his own strength? one catty, ten catties, one hundred catties, two hundred catties, and the gold and jewelry in the gold reserves, even if he removed two hundred catties, it would be a cold hair on the elephant's body.

And he alone, if he gives him two hundred pounds of gold, he can't take it away.

And if other people are allowed to manage the gold, in the face of such a large amount of wealth, perhaps that person's concentration still needs to be tempered, and most of them will have other thoughts in their hearts, and can easily convince his comrades. Atwood, on the other hand, has no more allies.

The Magic Mountain has made up his mind: "Atwood, if you don't want to die, I can give you a chance, you continue to guard this iron vault." ”

Atwood felt his body heat up, and he couldn't be so calm anymore. There was still a chance to live? It was so unexpected that he was caught off guard. His breathing became rapid, cold sweat began to break out in his palms, and the wounds on his face hurt again.

If there is only one way to die, Atwood will not do what he thinks, just die, it doesn't matter, lead the knife into a fast. But as soon as he realized that he could still live, he felt the thirst for life in his body gushing upwards like a spring in the ground.

"Your Majesty, can you spare my wife's life?"

The Magic Mountain didn't answer, he stared at Atwood for a long time, and nodded. This guy didn't mention his parents, children, brothers and sisters, only his wife, most of his brothers and sisters, parents and children have died, or he is just two people who depend on his wife. In a big family, some people's fate is difficult, their parents died early, and there are those who get married and have no children.

Next, Magic Mountain decided to take the time to find out about Atwood's close relatives, as well as the more than twenty people who were captured hiding in the military fortress and did not die, from these people's mouths, you can get information about Atwood's relatives.

Not now, of course.

*

Under Atwood's leadership, the Magic Mountain group began to withdraw from the Iron Vault. Suddenly, a scout rushed into the passage: "Your Majesty, a woman who calls herself Arya Stark has come with twenty-two narrow swordsmen to ask for an audience. ”

"Let them in, Arya Stark is the Elder of the Mandate of Heaven in the Black and White Courtyard and my personal bodyguard. ”

As soon as Magic Mountain's words came out, Ian and the twenty soldiers accompanying him were all surprised, and their faces changed.

Atwood was also shocked.

The black and white elder is His Majesty's personal bodyguard?!

Whoever heard this, couldn't be calm, especially the people in Braavos.

Magic Mountain's words are misleading, and he has a lofty boast of his own mystery and supremacy, but this point is not harmful, and it is also a small detail of Magic Mountain's intentionally or unintentionally shaping his supreme status.

The scouts who came to report the news were also so surprised that their eyes widened!

Black and white elders, guards, these words are unbelievably linked.

But I have to believe it!

The scout who told the news didn't know how he had managed to get out of the tunnel, and when he came out and got on his horse, he heard the trumpets of an enemy attack in the distance.

In the passage, the Magic Mountain, Daenerys and the others heard the horn of the enemy attack.

The group immediately quickened their pace, and when the sun shone on the magic mountain, the horn of the military fortress and the horn of the scout team arranged by Ian on the island echoed each other, resounding over the island.

"Ian, tell them to stop blowing the trumpet. Magic Mountain said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. "Le

"You lead a team of five hundred to support the enemy, and in this battle, Her Majesty Queen Daenerys and I will see your combat effectiveness in the sky. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Ian replied aloud.

His Majesty will see how well they are fighting the enemy!

It was also the first battle after Ian and his brothers surrendered.

Ian shouted loudly, and soon, the five hundred-man team was assembled, Ian galloped out, and behind him, the team poured out, and after running out, the queue began to deform.

This is a corps that also needs systematic military training.

Magic Mountain ordered the remaining five hundred-man teams to assemble in the military fortress, Magic Mountain ordered three hundred-man teams to go to the city wall to defend, one hundred-man team of all war horses, responsible for him and Daenerys' escort team, and one hundred-man team responsible for cooking.

Twenty-one captives were brought to the Magic Mountain.

They were the last of the men in the Iron Vault Military Fortress.

Among them were seven women and fourteen men, one of whom was Atwood's wife.

Magic Mountain asked Atwood to take his wife away, and the couple went back to their room to clean and bandage their wounds, and then ordered the remaining six women and fourteen men to be taken to different rooms, and each was asked the same question, that is, everything about the Atwoods' family.

The answer was unanimous to everyone, Atwood's parents died young, and his two brothers were living in the Iron Vault Fortress, which had been razed to the ground by the Magic Mountain. Atwood and his wife were married and had no children.

This situation made Magic Mountain very satisfied.

These people were quickly taken outside the military fortress and burned to ashes by Long Yan.

The Iron Vault's forces and non-combatants, with the exception of the Atwoods, were wiped out.

An hour later.

Iron vault in the military fortress.

Hall.

The Magic Mountain sat on a high stool with an intricately carved pattern, Daenerys Targaryen at his side, and General Ian and the Atwoods behind him.

Arya Stark led twenty-two Faceless Ones to the right hand side of the hall, and Aquaman led several of his Doctors and the Naval Commander to the left hand side of the hall.

Outside the military fortress, a regiment of 1,000 people lined up to cheer.

A giant dragon and a black dragon hovered low in the altitude of the military fortress.

The Magic Mountain looked at Aquaman.

His appearance was so vicious that even with a non-hostile gaze, he looked like he was glaring at Aquaman.

Aquaman coughed and walked out of the queue: "Your Majesty the Great King, the city-state of Braavos......"

"Surrender!" the Demon Mountain interrupted the Sea King's ramblings. It seems that Aquaman is ready for a tirade, but the magic mountain does not give him a chance to perform.

Aquaman was stunned!

"Surrender!" said the Magic Mountain.

"Kneel and surrender. General Ian flashed out from the side of the Demon Mountain, his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The naval commander Vincent and the others who came with the Sea King all changed their faces slightly.

Aquaman's face slowly turned blue.

"Ian, what are you who dare to interject here?" said Aquaman proudly.

"Kneel, surrender, or die!" said the Magic Mountain lightly, "Braavos has lost the qualification to negotiate an alliance with me. ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall.

Aquaman's face turned blue to red, and he looked at Arya Stark, but Arya was expressionless. The Sea King hoped that the Black and White Courtyard could advance and retreat together at the critical moment, in order to put pressure on the Magic Mountain or create a little turnaround, but he couldn't count on it.

Aquaman's face slowly returned to normal.

"Your Majesty, I have brought you a gift, perhaps you would like to see it first. ”

"Kneel, surrender, or die!" replied the Magic Mountain.

Aquaman's face turned blue again as if he had been slapped in the face: this was a humiliating reaction.

"Your Majesty, our gift is ......," said the Chief Doctor.

But before he could finish his words, the Magic Mountain interrupted the Chief Doctor's words: "Ian, if the Doctor speaks again, cut off his head." ”

The Chief Doctor stammered: choked. His face also turned red in an instant.

The hall was silent again!

The Sea King looked at Arya: "Elder Arya, the Black and White Courtyard, the Sea King's Palace, and the Iron Vault have all advanced and retreated together for thousands of years. ”

"It was the Iron Vault and the Sea King's Palace that refused to advance and retreat with the Black and White Courtyard. Arya said lightly.

"The roots of the House of Black and White are Braavos. ”

"The roots of the Black and White Temple are the Red God, the Thousand Faces God, and the Grim Reaper. ”

Aquaman opened his mouth and was speechless for a while.

The magic mountain looked at Ian, whoosh, Ian pulled out the short sword at his waist, stepped forward, and with a sword, accurately stabbed into the heart of the Sea King, pulled it out, and then slashed it, cutting the Sea King's throat......

Blood spurted out of Ian's body!

Ian was shirtless and motionless.

He glared at Navy Commander Vincent and the others for a moment.

Gladiators kill people, and after a single blow, they also make up a sword ruthlessly.

Aquaman's fat body slipped on the ground like mud......

"Surrender, or die. Magic Mountain said lightly.

The chief doctor opened his mouth and shouted, "Magic Mountain, you ......"

In a flash of cold light, Ian's dagger sliced through the Chief Doctor's neck, pulling out a massive wound that sent blood gushing out. The doctor covered his wound with both hands, blood gushing from between his fingers, and he staggered backwards, his left leg pinned to his right, and his body fell to the ground with a slump. His body twitched, and his eyes were shocked, as if he couldn't believe that the Demon Mountain would kill people who were scholars.

Doctors, like bachelors, in general, are not swept up in killing. However, there are not many moves to kill doctors and bachelors in war. Chivalry such as Jon Clinton and Eddard Stark who follow the rules and old ways are only a minority.

Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Vincent walked out of the queue, knelt down, and placed his right hand in a fist at the heart: "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of Braavos, Vincent, submits and swears allegiance to His Majesty in the name of the gods of the sky, earth, and sea, and will never betray him." ”

Moshan was not at ease with this kind of oath, but he knew that this kind of oath was irreplaceable for both sides, how could he really tie Vincent to his chariot? Of course, the oath of allegiance was not okay, it was only symbolic.

"Commander-in-Chief Vincennes, how long will it take for you to lead a naval fleet to attack the city-state of Loras about three hundred miles away?"

The city-state of Rollas, the closest of the nine free trade city-states to Braavos, is also the least powerful. The city-state of Loras is on the east-facing coastline.

"Ten days, Your Majesty. ”

"I'll give you three days. ”
