Chapter 0338 - Masterpiece or Ghost Hero (Ask for Subscription)
Magic Mountain led his army into the main castle of Count Murton, and in the hall, he saw a nun standing in front of the three children.
His eyes peered out through the narrow slit of the mask, and he was a terrifying steel giant. His voice was muffled by the mask.
Coercion is natural, and behind the magic mountain, there are also fierce generals and bandits with their own iron-blooded temperament.
In the hall, there were scholars, knights, guards, and servants.
No one is terrified!
Fortunately, the Morton family had a good background in the past, and the old castle was built very tall, otherwise, the flat-topped giant helmet of the Magic Mountain would have topped the ceiling.
Seventeen years earlier, when the Usurper War had broken out, the Muton family had sided with the Royalists instead of their lords, the Tuli family, and had pledged allegiance to the Targaryens, not their own lords, the Tuli family.
Betraying one's lord is a capital offense!
The war ended in victory for the Tully of the Riverlands, the Stark of the North, the Baratheon of the Stormlands, and the Arryn of the Vale. The defeat of the Targaryens and the slaughter of the royal family also affected the Muton family, who were loyal to the royal family, and the Muton family was punished by the lord Tully, and the family's wealth was plundered, their position was weakened, and their territory was reduced.
The current Muton family can be said to be quite weakened compared to the previous ones.
In the past, the Muton family relied on port trade, and the number of mercenaries raised reached more than 1,000, plus the family knights and local soldiers, the strength was about 3,000 at any time, and now the strength is only 1,000 people.
"Who is Elano Mutton?" said the Magic Mountain lightly. Elano was one of the targets of his military campaign.
"My lord, Elano Muton has gone to war with Count Murton. There was defensive, hostility evident on the nun's face. Although she looked directly at the magic mountain, she seemed to be strong and captivating, bluffing.
"No, I'm Ilano Muton. The girl behind the nun stepped out. She could already see that the magic mountain was staring at her. The nun's little trick was useless, and the Magic Mountain must have known about her existence before entering the main castle. The hundreds of soldiers who surrendered and the civilians in the town could not speak in unison, and they would not know what the nun said to deceive the magic mountain. This is easy to debunk, and once the magic mountain feels that it has been maliciously deceived, the consequences are something that Yilanor dare not think about.
For the safety of the nun and all her soldiers, Elanor Muton decided to stand up to the Magic Mountain.
The three knights stepped forward together and stood in front of Elano.
"Knight, don't force me to kill you. Magic Mountain said lightly.
The three knights looked at each other, and finally, silently retreated, and the bandits around the Magic Mountain laughed.
"Miss Elano Murton?" said the Magic Mountain.
"I am, my lord. Elano said, looking directly into the eyes of the Demon Mountain, not for a moment.
Magic Mountain noticed that her chest was embroidered with a sockeye salmon lined with thin gold trim on a white background, and the sockeye salmon was the family crest of the Muton family.
"How old are you?" said Magic Mountain, looking at Elano. The aristocratic girl is tall, but there is a faint childishness on her face, which is very similar to Sansa Stark's age.
"Thirteen, sir. "The girl is slim and elegant. Aristocratic girls have been well educated and trained in etiquette since they were young, and their temperament is higher than that of the reckless Magic Mountain.
"Have you had a menstrual affair?"
"Your Excellency!" the nun stepped forward to stand in front of Elano, "please keep up the honor of a knight." β
Demon Mountain held the hilt of the giant sword with his backhand, choked, and the giant sword came out of its sheath: "Nun, and the Muton, I warn you for the last time, I don't want to kill." β
The giant sword was unsheathed, the cold air was pressing, and the sword body was three palms wide, which was something that the Muton people in the hall had never seen before. The knight is a two-handed sword, and the widest sword body is a one-and-a-half-palm sword.
The magic mountain giant sword was swung at the nun, and in the exclamation of everyone, there was a snap, and the sword body slapped horizontally on the nun's body, and the nun flew out with a snort, crashing into a chair in the corner.
"I don't want to kill, Miss Elano, can you tell?" the Demon Mountain Greatsword held a sword flower lightly in his hand, and the heavy and huge sword was as heavy as a knife in his hand.
Yilanno swallowed her saliva, her face turned red, small beads of sweat appeared on her forehead and the tip of her nose, her mouth was dry, and her heart was beating faster: "My lord, I understand." β
"Okay, so what do you do?"
"Sister Evelyn, knights, all guards, servants, whatever happens, do not interfere in my conversation with my lords. Knight Ron, please pass my orders to the townspeople, and I command them as heirs of the House of Murton to greet Lord Gregor and his men. The Muton family chose to surrender, and we are all captives of Lord Magic Mountain. β
Although the girl was extremely nervous, her voice was powerful, and in fact she was more daring than many knights and warriors.
Many soldiers, including knights, trembled with their hands and feet when they saw the body and giant sword of the Demon Mountain, and their eyes were full of fear.
"Very well, Miss Elano. You're very good!"
The Muttons in the hall were visibly relieved.
The Demon Mountain Giant Sword was unsheathed, and everyone's hearts were raised to their throats.
The nun had already been lifted up by the servant, and she no longer dared to step forward, she didn't know how she had flown just now, and the feeling of sudden weightlessness was a frightened hand that instantly grabbed her heart. When she was helped up, she was still frightened, lost her soul, and her whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, uncontrollable.
"Miss Elano, are you here for menstruation?" asked the Magic Mountain again, aggressive and unbelievable.
"I haven't, sir. Elano said.
Maybe it's a lie!
But it doesn't matter.
"Very well, Miss Elano, you are the second most courageous noble woman I have ever met. β
Elano didn't answer the words of the Magic Mountain. Although she really wanted to know who the aristocratic woman who Moshan said was the first daring, she didn't want to give Moshan a chance to continue to talk more. She wanted to end her conversation with Moshan as soon as possible, because Moshan's question would be a humiliation for her, asking her about her menstrual affairs in front of so many people, and she was the daughter of an earl.
She's a nobleman!
The Magic Mountain lifted the masks of his people and took off his helmet, a face as rough as a rock, and a pair of eyes full of indifference.
"Ralph Clegane Knight!"
"Yes, sir. β
"Come up, take off your helmet, and stand in front of Miss Elano. β
"Yes, sir!"
Sweet-mouthed Raffard Clegane stepped forward, took off his helmet, shook his hair, and smiled kindly and kindly on his face: "Honorable Miss Elano, they all call me Sweetmouth. β
"Hello Knight. On Elano's face, the armor of defense began to put on the first layer. She is polite but indifferent, even if she doesn't stand far away, she has a sense of distance.
"Dunson Klegane Knight. Magic Mountain said again.
"Yes, sir!"
"Come forward, take off your helmet, and let Miss Elano take a good look at you. β
"Yes, sir. β
Dunson stood in front of Elano, his facial features were like knives and axes, his face was resolute, and his eyes were cold and full of cruelty. He stared at Elano without saying a word, without greeting, in a very different style from Sweet Mouth.
"Captain Erin. Magic Mountain said.
So, Erin also stood in front of Elano.
"Captain Angai. β
Angai removed the helmet and stood in front of Yilanor, although he was skilled in archery, he was intimidated by Yilanor's aristocratic temperament, and he had an irrepressible inferiority complex in front of Yilanor, and the self-ashamedness of Xiaoshengdou's civilians made him a little cramped and uneasy. His 'cowardice' made his brothers burst into laughter.
Angay indulges in the face of prostitutes, but in front of a noble girl who is educated and calm enough, the noble elegance of a noble woman makes him ashamed and uneasy every time.
Angay was the son of an ordinary commoner in the Dorne Frontier Lands who had no land.
Finally, in front of Elano, stood - Sweetmouth Raff (Proletarian Knight), Executioner Dunson (Proletarian Knight), Captain Erling, Vice-Captain Harwin, Captain Ange Centurion, Big Head Chiswick (Proletarian Knight), Tobert, Law Enforcement Team Rolger, Fangs and more than a dozen generals under the Magic Mountain.
"Miss Elano Muton, please choose one of these warriors to be your husband. Magic Mountain said.
Elano was shocked.
It was more humiliating to her than asking her about her menstruation.
Several knights of the Muton family dared not speak out, just now Moshan had already drawn out his giant sword and slapped the nun away, warning everyone that it was the last time, Moshan said that he didn't want to kill, but don't force him. It's just that in fact, it's the magic mountain that is forcing them.
"Your Excellency. Elano's eyes instantly filled with tears, "My marriage needs my father, Lord Muton, to decide. β
She is the heir of the Muton family, whoever marries her, will marry the female spring town, as long as she has another child, she is the heir of the next generation, and the female spring town is controlled in the hands of the magic mountain. Elano knows this. It is said that the Magic Mountain is a stupid murderer, a brainless lackey of Tywin, and I don't know who instigated this matter behind him, and directly wants to seize control of NΓΌquan Town.
"Bachelor, may I ask your surname?" Magic Mountain asked the Scholar of the Muton family.
"Steinbeck, my lord. β
"Maester Steinbeck, I'm going to take Ilano as my adopted daughter now, and I ask you to take us to the Templar. β
Steinbeck looked at Elano, at the Magic Mountain, "Yes, my lord." β
This is already the best way to ensure that the Muton family is not wiped out, not far behind Yilanno, there are two young brothers, if you don't agree to the magic mountain, the magic mountain will destroy the bloodline of the Muton family with a finger.
The Bachelor's eyes conveyed to Yilanor what he wanted to say, Yilanor had been reading and playing the piano since she was a child, Bingxue was smart, and was favored by her father, and often met captains and merchants from all over the world at the docks, quite knowledgeable and courageous, she understood the Bachelor's eyes.
Half an hour later, in the Seven Stars Church in NΓΌquan Town, the Magic Mountain adopted an adopted daughter: Elano Mutton. Julie Clegane became Elano's sister in the name of it.
In the Seven Sacred Churches, the Magic Mountain sat on the throne of his father's ancestors and accepted the ritual of kneeling as the daughter of Elano Muton.
"Elano, you must choose a husband among my soldiers, and you will be engaged today, and when your menstrual period comes, your father will officiate a grand wedding for you. β
"Yes, Father. Elanor held back tears, but her eyes turned red.
Julie whispered in Elano's ear: "Sister, the archer centurion Angai, a sharpshooter, is not a few years older than us, the archery champion in the Seven Kingdoms competition, and his archery skills are unmatched. If you choose him, I will beg my father to grant him a knight. β
Julie squeezed Elano's hand. Elano's hands were cold, trembling slightly.
"Father, I want to ...... Marry...... Lord Jazz. β
"Elano, my warriors will become viscounts, barons, and counts. Seven civil wars, generals are promoted to knighthood is the fastest way, don't hesitate, choose, my good daughter. Magic Mountain said patiently.
β...... Angai ...... The general ......" Yilanor said the name, and the humiliation fell from the sky, like a giant hammer hitting her, and the tears could no longer be held back, and rushed out. She was going to marry a handsome and handsome young earl, not an archer-mounted centurion who wasn't even a knight.
Angai froze on the spot, unable to believe it!
Magic Mountain knew that according to the original world trajectory, the person who was engaged to Elano Muton was named Deacon Tully, the second son of the famous general of the Seven Kingdoms, Randolph Tully.
Count Randolph Tully was the Earl of Hornling, a vassal of the High Court (House of Tyrrell). Known for his feats of commanding battles, he is regarded as one of Westeros' best generals, and holds the Valyrian Steel Greatsword Heartbreaker, the ancestral Valyrian greatsword of the Tully family.
And Deacon Tully has an older brother, who is a good friend of Arya's illegitimate brother, Jon Snow: Samwell Tully.
Earl Randolph Tully sent his weak-tempered eldest son, Samwell Tully, to the Wall, and Deacon Tully became the heir of the Horned Tomb, the future patriarch of the Tully family, the hereditary earl, and Ilano were talented and good-looking.
The Magic Mountain captures the town of Nuquan and releases a butterfly once more, and he facilitates the marriage of Elano and Angai. This is a small local change, and the Magic Mountain feels that this little butterfly will not have any bad impact on the changes in the whole world, and if it has an impact, it is also the existence that makes the Magic Mountain stronger.
So, in the sanctuary of Nuquan Town, in the presence of monks, nuns, scholars, and the elders of the family (adoptive father Moshan), Angai and Elano knelt under the icon of the seven gods, anointed with the seven sacred oils, and the two confirmed the relationship between husband and wife, held a simple engagement, and only waited for Elano to come to the moon, and the two entered the cave and completed the marriage.
Shengdou Xiaomin Angai was dizzy, and he couldn't tell the difference between southeast and northwest. He took Elano's hand, and every step felt like he was stepping on a pile of cotton.
After the engagement was completed, the Magic Mountain drew the greatsword and made Angai kneel, so the Bachelor sang the knight's vows, and Angai's heart was still on Ilano's body, and he stammered and finished singing, and the Magic Mountain gave the knight's honor and the surname of Ligan in the name of the Earl of Clegane.
When Klegane's voice sounded, and the giant sword was pointed on Angai's shoulder, Angai finally regained his composure from the great joy, he was sure that in his life, this life, was already the magic mountain. All kinds of bad impressions of the words and deeds of the Magic Mountain in the past have all disappeared like magic.
He felt it and was grateful!
When Ange got up from the ground and hugged Sweetmouth, Dunson, and Chiswick the big-headed, his whole heart jumped out of his chest with joy: he was no longer a commoner, he had become a knight, and he no longer had a surname, his surname was Clegane.
Angay Clegane's knighthood is barely worthy of Miss Elano Murton, and it is no longer as disparity as a commoner boy marrying the daughter of an earl. This made Angel no longer cramped in the face of Yilanor, and his anxiety and inferiority complex were greatly reduced.
"Knight Angai, didn't you have something to say to Miss Elano?" said the Magic Mountain lightly. He saw unshakable loyalty in Angay's eyes. This is exactly what he needs and the result of his hard work.
Angay took Elano's hand and disappeared because he was a knight. Many counts, barons, and viscounts, because they are not heroic enough, cannot become knights in their lifetime. Knightly honor cannot be inherited.
"Miss Elano, I will follow our father's great feats and become a viscount, a baron, a count, and I will try my best to be worthy of you, please believe me. The young man, who was not yet twenty years old, straightened his chest. He was still a little immature in this action, but his tone, look, eyes, and body were swearing to Miss Elano in every place.
On Miss Elano's layers of psychic defense armor, there was a soft click, and a small crack shattered.
Every young girl with a spring is eager to marry a hero who will do her best to win status, power and honor for her.
The Magic Mountain saw Elano's small hand gently and inadvertently grasp An Gai's hand, this is a small detail, insignificant, but it is a clear signal that Nuquan Town will be under his command from now on.
In troubled times, it is necessary to establish prestige with military achievements, marry power with strategy, and seize power with strength!
The Demon Mountain's gaze looked out through the gates of the Sanctuary and saw King's Landing!
If it comes, it will be safe!
Since you have crossed into a magic mountain, you will be a hero in life, and you will be a ghost in death!
