Chapter 0817 - Theocratic Affairs
Prime Minister, soldiers are innocent. Barristan Selmy said.
"Demon Mountain, the Unsullied soldiers give it all to you, let them fight for you. On land, they were the best infantry, and their pikes were the nemesis of the cavalry. When you attack the continent of Essos, you will need them, and they will only need to confirm that you are their master, and their loyalty will be unquestionable. Daenerys Targaryen snapped.
She hopes to save the lives of the Unsullied soldiers.
That's where Daenerys is good. This woman can be followed by a large group of amazing generals and courtiers, with her own unique personality and charm, as well as the kindness that comes from the depths of her heart.
Her Majesty was a suit of armor that encapsulated her true form, hard and barbed.
The mountain gestured to Arrene Martell, "Daenerys, how do I gain the allegiance of the Unsullied?"
"I'll tell them that their current owner is you, not anyone else. Daenerys pulled out a token token carved with intricate ornamentation, the top of the token was separated, and on the tip of the fork stood an intricate eagle carving, "This is a token of the Unsullied, and the Unsullied soldier only recognizes the token." Whoever holds the token is their master, something that has been carved into their marrow and soul since childhood. ”
Moshan stared at Daenerys and didn't speak. Needless to say, he saw Daenerys' sincerity in wanting to save the lives of his men, and what Daenerys said about the Unsullied was true.
Daenerys turned, the generals behind her parted, she walked to the dock, facing the fleet, and held up the token: "Unsullied soldiers, centurions, I am no longer your master now, I surrendered to the Magic Mountain, you have also surrendered to the Magic Mountain, and now the Magic Mountain is your only master, and his words are the supreme order." Daenerys' voice was penetrating enough to be heard by the Unsullied soldiers on every ship.
The neatly lined Innocent soldiers on the deck watched Daenerys turn around, holding the Harpy token aloft and walking up to the Demon Mountain, handing the token with both hands.
Magic Mountain took the strange token with a fork on the top, and he glanced at the Harpy, which was the belief of the people of Slave Bay. The magic mountain held the token alof: "The Unsullied, all of them, listen to my orders, sit down cross-legged." ”
Rumble!
On the deck, more than 5,000 Unsullied soldiers sat cross-legged, neatly in unison.
The Magic Mountain looked at the Gray Worm and the Hero, the two leaders motionless and did not sit down.
"Greyworm, sit down. ”
Gray Worm remained motionless: "Magic Mountain, there is only one master of mine: Her Majesty Daenerys Queen Targaryen." She has given me freedom, I am no longer a slave grayworm, I am a freedfolk grayworm. ”
"Your king has surrendered, and she is my prisoner of war like you. ”
"You can kill me, but you can't command me. Only Her Majesty can command me. The gray worm looked at the magic mountain with contempt.
"Grey worm!" Daenerys cried, "I am no longer your master, nor your majesty. ”
"Your Majesty, you have given me freedom, and the free man Grey Worm will only be loyal to Her Majesty the Queen, and will not be anyone else. ”
Moshan looked at the hero and said lightly: "Hero, are you willing to kneel down to me and swear allegiance." ”
The hero looked at Daenerys, who nodded, her eyes full of surrender: "Hero, I command you to surrender to the Magic Mountain. ”
The gray worm can't be convinced, but if you can save one more, the hero can't be killed by the magic mountain. The Unsullied soldiers need their own leader to take care of them.
The hero took two steps forward and knelt down on one knee in front of the Demon Mountain: "The hero swears to my new master, the Demon Mountain, in the name of the grassland, the earth, the sky, the sea, and the Harpy, that I will fight for you and never flinch until death." ”
Demon Mountain nodded and said lightly, "Hero, I appoint you as the commander-in-chief of my Unsullied Legion. ”
"Yes. ”
"Get up and stand behind me. ”
The hero got up and glanced at Greyworm and Daenerys, and he walked behind the Magic Mountain and stood with dozens of the Magic Mountain's generals.
"Commander-in-Chief Wagner Garr, return to him the hero's armor, daggers, shields, and spears. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. Wagner Gal on the bow of the ship said in a loud voice.
*
On the dockside, Jorah Mormont, who had fallen into the water, swam to the shore, where the former magistrate Yarlin and eight golden-robed soldiers were staring at him.
"Sir, do you need my help?" said Arrin with his hand on the hilt of his sword, condescendingly and contemptuously.
Arrin was a vassal of the Dorn, the peerless dragon knight Alen Martell.
Jorah Mormont held out his hand to Yarlin: "Sir, help me. ”
Arrin grabbed Jorah's hand, and suddenly his wrist tightened, and a huge force made him unsteady on his feet, and he plunged into the water. Jorah Mormon laughed, and he pushed Yarlin into the water, and the two of them sank to the bottom together. By the time Jorah came ashore with his head up, Arrin was still underwater—he was wearing armor—and Jorah Mormont had an extra sword in his hand: the sword on Arrin's back.
Boom!
The swords of the eight golden-robed soldiers were unsheathed together, surrounding the drenched Jorah Mormont.
Plop plop!
Several sailors jumped out of the boat and plunged into the water to save Sir Arlin.
"Prime Minister, I plead for Jorah, don't kill him, he is a true warrior. Jon Targaryen said earnestly.
"Magic Mountain, spare Jorah, I submit to your king, I accept any judgment you have against me, beheading or hanging, do not kill Jorah Mormont, he is a truly great knight. Daenerys said urgently.
She regarded Jorah as a family member and refused to let Jorah be beheaded.
"Where might Brynden Targaryen be gone?" asked the Demon Mountain lightly.
He put it mildly, and made it clear that Bran Stark was no longer Bran, but a Targaryen. Whoever confronted the prophet was a terrible thing.
"He probably went to Braavos. Jon Targaryen said in a deep voice.
Jon decides to end this dock trial. He was kind in his heart, and he also did not want to see the heads of these generals fall to the ground.
The Magic Mountain must have news of Bran Stark, and Daenerys will definitely not say it, so let's do it.
Jon's best brothers in black, and his closest girlfriend, Ygritte, all died at the hands of Bran. Jon was equally unacceptable and unforgivable for Bran's abuse of guest power.
Jon finally spoke.
Daenerys' face changed.
Her hope of killing the Magic Mountain is all in Bran's. Protecting Bran is to ensure that the Magic Mountain will be assassinated.
"Braavos?" repeated the Magic Mountain, his mind flashing through the Iron Treasury and the Faceless, the two organizations that are Braavos' most famous specialty, "Lady Melisandre, if the Blood Raven goes to Braavos, what strength will he find to deal with us?"
"He needs money from the Iron Vault and then hires the Faceless. Melisandre said lightly.
In this regard, Melissand is unique. The Faceless One is a believer in the Grim Reaper, and the Thousand-Faced God is the Grim Reaper. The Faceless's Assassin Technique, swordsmanship is only a small part of it, and they are better at magic, illusion, and poisoning that alter their appearance and voice. Illusion and poisoning overlap with Melisandre's sorcery.
The word Faceless One shook the hearts of the generals and courtiers
The name is out, and death comes.
As long as someone hires the Faceless One, the target will not escape the murder. Maybe a month, maybe three years, in short, the one who is targeted by the Faceless One is a dead end.
Of course, the cost to the employer is staggering. Even governors, kings, and dukes could hardly afford to hire the Faceless One to assassinate the Demon Mountain. Because the Magic Mountain is the prime minister's identity, the higher the target status, the higher the price.
What's more, the blood crow must have no money.
Demon Mountain's heart was also shocked when he heard the Faceless One: "The Faceless One, I should have thought of this a long time ago. He thought to himself. The reason is simple, if the Blood Raven must kill the Demon Mountain, hiring the Faceless is the only best way. With the strength of the king-level legion to attack, who can defeat the dragons of the Demon Mountain?
Assassination is the best option!
Arya Stark in the crowd also had a heartbeat.
She is a Faceless One who has violated the Faceless's creed.
The Faceless will not use their worldly names, will not be involved with their past, their families, and relatives, and will not use the Faceless Skills they have learned to do anything for the revenge or revitalization of the family, but all of these Faceless Codes, Arya has violated.
Arya is one of the few gifted apprentices in the Black and White Courtyard of the Isle of the Gods, but she is also the most outrageous of Faceless, and after learning all the Faceless skills, she has violated almost all the Codeless Codes.
In her heart, at any time, she is not a nobody, but Arya Stark who does not change her name or surname.
*
On the edge of the river, Sir Arlin had come ashore. He snatched a sword from the soldier's hand and ran towards a senseless Jorah Mormont.
"Sir Arlin, stop. Magic Mountain shouted.
Sir Arrin stopped stiffly.
"Mark Clegane, the registration, lodging, living, and military supplies of the Unsullied soldiers have been handed over to you. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. General Affairs Officer Mark Clegane walked out of the queue.
"General Jako Lodge, the military regulations, military affairs, military training, and passwords of the Unsullied Legion are all handed over to you. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. Jaco Lodge stepped out of the queue and replied in a loud voice.
"Hero, this is the affairs officer Mark Clegane, military pay, weapons, armor repair and claims, anything in life, look for him. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. ”
"This is General Jaco Lodge, the chief training officer of the Cregan Legion, and the Unsullied warriors need to be trained in new formations, formations, cavalry coordination, horns, passwords, etc., and you need to cooperate with his orders and instructions. ”
"Yes, Prime Minister. ”
The Magic Mountain has newly acquired the 5,000 Unsullied Legion and determined the whereabouts of Bran Stark, and he is in a good mood.
"Daenerys, I got what I wanted, the dock trial is over. Go, I will take you to my king, and I hope my king will not order your head to be cut off. ”
"Lord Magic Mountain......" Jon said.
"Jon, you're not Daenerys' vassal, you're the Night's Watch Commander of the Wall of Desperation. Come to our side, if you want to intercede for Daenerys, you cannot ask for my king's pardon as a prisoner of war, and you cannot make your proposal. The mountain unceremoniously interrupted Jon.
Jon gave Daenerys a deep look, and Daenerys was looking at him sharply.
Jon walked over to the Magic Mountain, choosing to stand by the Mountain's side.
Whether Jon is Daenerys' vassal or not is something he once admitted when he pursued Daenerys in the Magic Mountain, but Jon and Daenerys have a complicated relationship due to their completely different political opinions and the dozen or so bloody lives that lie between them.
In Daenerys' most perilous moment, Jon couldn't leave her, for sure.
*
Red Keep, Hall of the Throne.
The Magic Mountain and Daenerys enter the empty hall and see the young king seated on the Iron Throne: Gendry Baratheon. At the foot of the seven steps of the Iron Throne, lined up, stood four white-robed Imperial Forest Guards.
In addition, the Magic Mountain was surprised to see the Archbishop of the Great Basil of Baylor standing next to the King's Iron Throne - the Grand Wise Men of the Fire Warlock Guild, the Minister of Law Jenny Westerling, who was supposed to nurse her children in the Prime Minister's Tower at the request of the Magic Mountain: the Archbishop wore the Crown of the Seven Stars and wore a new white robe with the image of the Seven Gods, and behind the Archbishop, the Seven Archbishops of the Templar appeared, they were the Father, the Virgin, the Blacksmith, the Warrior, the Maiden, the Old Woman, and the Stranger.
In addition, the great master Corben also stood on the side of the Iron Throne, and behind Corben, all the court scholars stood, including Jon Clinton, who was greatly appreciated by the Magic Mountain.
In the throne hall to judge important nobles or major cases, there will be a request to the Archbishop of the Great Sanctuary of Baylor to be one of the judges, or one of the overseers, but the seven protagonists have never appeared together in the past.
In addition, the scholars in the court, except for the records of royal life and the historians in the throne hall, the rest of the scholars will not appear in the throne hall together, which is very rare.
After the magic mountain and Daenerys entered the throne hall, they were escorted in by the golden-robed soldiers, who were Daenerys's courtiers and generals.
After this group of more than a dozen of the most important generals was brought in, the courtiers and generals, nobles and noblewomen, ladies and knights of the Westeros continent entered one after another, and soon crowded both sides of the hall, leaving only a necessary passage to the gate in the middle.
Finally, the commander-in-chief of the garrison, with two captains, led the golden-robed guards into the hall and lined up in a circle along the walls. Other golden-robed soldiers guarded both sides of the gate of the throne hall, and the procession stretched outward to both sides of the road outside.
The corridors to the left and right of the throne hall are packed with the people of King's Landing!
Daenerys looked at the King on the Iron Throne, and naturally she noticed the strange people on both sides of the Iron Throne: tall old men dressed like wizards in flames, archbishops in robes and tall seven-star crowns that threatened to break people's necks, seven archbishops in bishops' robes, and more than a dozen old people dressed as bachelors.
When was it time for so many non-courtiers and generals to appear next to the Iron Throne?
Was it an ad hoc decision to judge her, or did the new king change the rules of the throne hall? Every time he went to court, with the full participation of the Bishops of the Baelor Templar, and the court scholars, Daenerys didn't understand that the Magic Mountain was actually the first time she had seen it.
"Your Majesty, Daenerys is here with her generals. Magic Mountain said.
Daenerys noticed that the Magic Mountain was standing and talking, and he didn't get down on one knee.
When the Magic Mountain was still a lackey of Duke Tywin, he did not kneel when he saw the former King Robert. King Robert is an open-minded king like no other, and he doesn't care about the ruthless and rough people of the Seven Kingdoms like the Magic Mountain.
The Blacksmith King sat down on the Iron Throne and nodded, "Prime Minister, the sentence of Daenerys and her generals is to be postponed. Today we are not going to try any prisoners, nor are we going to talk about any related government affairs, we have a more important thing to do first. ”
The Magic Mountain's gaze moved from the king's face to the archbishop's. He had a good personal relationship with the archbishop, who was a former warrior bishop and sat on the throne of the archbishop with the support of the Demon Mountain. The Magic Mountain came up with a strategy, and the archbishop contributed money, and together they opened the first Baylor Bank in King's Landing, which initially lended to civilians and refugees in the name of the Seven Gods, and gained a high reputation, and with the blessing of the Seven Gods, the bank operated in King's Landing.
The 'intimacy' relationship of personal friendship + bus + allies, the Magic Mountain did not see any hints from the face and eyes of the archbishop.
The Mountain's gaze swept over every face next to the Iron Throne, many of whom had a personal relationship with the Mountain, such as the Great Wise Man of the Firemancer's Guild, such as his wife Jenny Westerling—but the Mountain still didn't get any explicit or implicit in the faces and eyes of these people.
Moshan had no choice but to say, "Your Majesty, you said that there is a more important thing that needs to be done today, what is it?"
The Archbishop stepped forward and descended two steps, he faced the Demon Mountain: "Prime Minister, do you respect the divine right and believe in the Seven Gods with all your heart?"
"Yes, Lord Archbishop, I am devout to the Seven Gods and the Theocracy. ”
The archbishop nodded: "This important matter comes from the divine right, you listen!"
Moshan tilted his head and scolded in his heart, what the hell, let me listen to something.
All the courtiers and generals listened to each other, and everyone had doubts in their hearts.
Daenerys and her generals were also surprised.
In this throne hall, there are so many gods standing, and they are saying mysterious and strange things, what the hell does this mean?
Moshan was even more strange in his heart, he looked at the Minister of Intelligence, Bernie Clegane, this guy was well-informed, and he must have known about today's arrangement, but he didn't even mention it to Moshan. Magic Mountain saw the glint in Bernie's excited little eyes, and it was clear that Bernie Clegane, the little smasher, knew the inside story.
In the confusion of the Magic Mountain, Dangdangdangdang Dangdang - Seven Holy Bells -
The holy bell on the top of the main tower of the Great Basilica of Baylor, which was struck only when there was a very, very important event in the kingdom, was suddenly struck and rang so loudly that it rang throughout the city at the first strike.
